00:00:01I still want my happily ever after and I really hope it's with you.

00:00:05Here's to hopefully being happily ever after. Yours, Sam.

00:00:09Three new couples entered the experiment.

00:00:12Hello. Wifey.

00:00:14In the search for true love.

00:00:16If the person across from me today embraces woke culture, we'll have a problem.

00:00:20Thank God.

00:00:23Juliet and Joel bonded on their honeymoon.

00:00:26I feel safe with him and he makes me feel giddy.

00:00:30Chris still wasn't ready to share his upcoming baby news.

00:00:34He'll open up when he's ready.

00:00:35Appreciate that.

00:00:36And despite their shared world views, Stephanie and Tyson clashed.

00:00:41What does submissive look like to you then?

00:00:44The opposite of you.

00:00:46Oh my God.

00:00:48While our original couples celebrated their first month together.

00:00:54Grayson was left feeling blindsided.

00:00:57That burning desire doesn't seem to be growing.

00:01:00As Julia's letter left him heartbroken.

00:01:05You're going around dropping bombs.

00:01:07You came for my husband with life.

00:01:09And when Beck went on an attack.

00:01:11Stare at me with your evil eyes.

00:01:12No one was spared.

00:01:14I got told that Jules wished that she had been matched with a woman.

00:01:18Trust me.

00:01:19Feisty.

00:01:20Shut up newbie.

00:01:21Danny looks embarrassed.

00:01:22Before hurtful texts from Beck about Alyssa were revealed.

00:01:27Take a screenshot shall we?

00:01:28I'm disappointed.

00:01:30You think that someone has your back or they don't?

00:01:34Tonight.

00:01:35I really wanted to show Stephen how special he is to me.

00:01:40Romantic connections continue to grow.

00:01:43I treasure you and I'm proud of you.

00:01:45I love that you are open with me.

00:01:46I really appreciate you.

00:01:48Every day it's just getting better and better.

00:01:50She just makes me feel like, yeah, like I'm at home.

00:01:53Stella and Phillip are already planning their future together.

00:01:56What it would look like after we leave this experiment.

00:01:59Tyson is challenged by the experts.

00:02:02You're saying I want to be with someone who will lie down, give up their rights.

00:02:07I'm not saying that.

00:02:08Well you are.

00:02:09I'm not.

00:02:10You actually are saying that.

00:02:11Before John delivers some direct feedback.

00:02:15I'm going to let you into a secret.

00:02:18And then.

00:02:20You hurt me the week before.

00:02:21You nearly caused my relationship to end.

00:02:24When Beck doubles down.

00:02:26Why would you do that?

00:02:28Do you know what?

00:02:28You're right.

00:02:29I know I'm right.

00:02:30But what I don't know is why you're doing that.

00:02:33The experts hold her to account.

00:02:35Watching you last night apply a blow torch to pretty much everybody at the dinner party.

00:02:40If you sent off enough grenades in other people's relationships,

00:02:43you can avoid having tough conversations about the two of you.

00:03:06It's the morning of the third commitment ceremony.

00:03:10Good morning.

00:03:11Good morning.

00:03:13And our couples are waking up after another eventful dinner party.

00:03:19Oh, how'd you sleep?

00:03:22Alright.

00:03:23It was a big night.

00:03:24Yeah.

00:03:25How are you feeling last night?

00:03:27Yeah, I'm just tired.

00:03:29But it was Beck's behaviour that's got everyone talking.

00:03:33I felt like we were in parliament for a little bit there.

00:03:35You know, we were in the last four weeks of the election.

00:03:37Every bit of drama involved Beck's and I know.

00:03:42Stare at me with your evil eyes.

00:03:43The only reason I hated Alyssa was because of what you said about Alyssa.

00:03:47So let's pull up the receipt shall we?

00:03:50Alyssa went home for the weekend.

00:03:52Turmoil in the relationship.

00:03:55She's jumping in everyone's relationships, jumping down everyone's throat.

00:03:59What you did was really good though last night.

00:04:02Like you had my back.

00:04:03Beck came at me and you were like, you know, shutting her down.

00:04:07Don't talk to my wife like that.

00:04:08Like I appreciate you for that.

00:04:09I think me and Scott were great.

00:04:11I didn't see Danny backing up his woman like Scott was backing up me last night.

00:04:15I think he just like let her out to dry.

00:04:18Danny didn't say a single word.

00:04:20So clearly their relationship is just not on.

00:04:23Yeah.

00:04:25Their relationship is going to come unraveled at some point.

00:04:29So it doesn't look too good for her and Danny at the moment.

00:04:41I don't like yelling, but like if you don't yell across that table, you can't, no one's going to hear

00:04:46you.

00:04:48It was crazy.

00:04:49At the end of the day, my whole purpose of that dinner party was to clear my husband's name and

00:04:54I did that.

00:04:54So we're stronger than ever as per usual, which is great.

00:04:59We did.

00:05:00We did well.

00:05:00We didn't argue.

00:05:01Most important thing.

00:05:03Had each other's backs, which is good.

00:05:10At the dinner parties, when everyone sees her like that, they probably just perceive her as she's that type of

00:05:15girl.

00:05:18Causing fights off everybody.

00:05:20Being quite vicious in her approach.

00:05:24I don't want to be going to every dinner party just sitting there thinking, all I'm going to do is

00:05:28have to back my missus because she's arguing tonight.

00:05:32I didn't come here to argue.

00:05:34I came here to find love.

00:05:46Everyone's getting set for tonight's commitment ceremony.

00:05:50Do you like my sparkly socks?

00:05:52Love them.

00:05:52Huh?

00:05:55Ready?

00:05:56Yep.

00:05:58First commitment ceremony.

00:05:59Alright.

00:06:00But a surprise decision from the experts awaits our new couples.

00:06:05Looks like we have a letter.

00:06:07Ooh.

00:06:08Julie, Ed and Joel.

00:06:11Dear newlyweds,

00:06:13Right now you are still very much in your honeymoon bubble, but the real experiment begins as you move into

00:06:18your new living arrangements tomorrow.

00:06:19Therefore, at tonight's commitment ceremony, you will not be making a decision about the future of your relationship.

00:06:25Instead, it is an opportunity to open up to us, seek advice and gain insight on what you might need

00:06:30to move forward as a couple in this experiment.

00:06:31We look forward to seeing you, the experts.

00:06:34And I was all ready to write stay, explanation point, explanation point, explanation point.

00:06:39That's right.

00:06:39The experts' decision to not be able to write stay or leave tonight may prove to be an issue for

00:06:46new couple Stephanie and Tyson.

00:06:48You want a water?

00:06:50Yes, please.

00:06:51As Tyson left last night's dinner party feeling unsupported by his wife.

00:06:57Yeah, the vibe between Steph and I, um, we're a little bit distant.

00:07:02Come sit down, we'll have a bit of a chat about yesterday.

00:07:05Yesterday she could have got more involved, but I think deep down she probably wanted to see me crash and

00:07:10burn to an extent.

00:07:11Do you believe a man should pay or what's your view on it?

00:07:16Um, look, if I'm into the girl, eh?

00:07:21But if I'm not really into her, then I think 50-50.

00:07:25Oh, really, yeah.

00:07:26I swear I find it contradictory because you're like, I want to be the provider and the protector and blah,

00:07:30blah, blah.

00:07:31But then you wouldn't make me pay?

00:07:32With an actual wife, though.

00:07:34I am your wife right now.

00:07:36Yeah, well, temporarily.

00:07:37Oh!

00:07:38Temporarily.

00:07:39I think that's a pretty low comment.

00:07:41Oh, bro, that's just how I feel, man.

00:07:43That's how I feel.

00:07:44Last night was, was hectic, wasn't it, to say the least?

00:07:47Yeah.

00:07:48It was insane.

00:07:49I feel like, obviously, the whole anti-woke thing got brought up and then I just had a target on

00:07:56my forehead.

00:07:56Yeah.

00:07:57But I think, as well, Steph, I thought I'd have just a little bit more support from you.

00:08:02Mm.

00:08:03Because you were very quiet.

00:08:05And I know there was a lot going on.

00:08:07It was very hard to get a word in, to be honest.

00:08:09You're telling me.

00:08:10And I'm not...

00:08:10It's only with Bec barking every two seconds.

00:08:13It was a bit surprising to hear that Tyson felt that I didn't have his back.

00:08:16I mean...

00:08:18But I just think that speaks volumes to how him and I handle things.

00:08:22I'm not going to stand up and back you if I don't agree with your opinion or your behaviour.

00:08:26Mm.

00:08:26But you did agree with the majority of what I had to say, didn't you?

00:08:29Yeah, and I feel like I spoke about that as well.

00:08:31I mean, you were quiet.

00:08:34I'm not confrontational like that.

00:08:36Mm.

00:08:36Just with me.

00:08:38Yeah, it seems that way.

00:08:40Mm.

00:08:42I think you added in a little smart-ass comment there saying,

00:08:45oh, he doesn't know what he wants in a woman.

00:08:46You said something along those lines.

00:08:48Well, you don't.

00:08:49Well, I do.

00:08:49I know exactly what I want, Steph.

00:08:51And you shouldn't say that you know what I want when, you know, you barely even know me.

00:08:55Say what you want.

00:08:56You've been given that.

00:08:58Mm-hmm.

00:08:58But that's not what you want.

00:08:59Well, I haven't been given that, though.

00:09:02Ask for someone that wasn't masculine.

00:09:03You do bring a lot of masculinity to this relationship.

00:09:07Um...

00:09:07No, I don't.

00:09:08I feel like you do.

00:09:09I'm like the most feminine person ever.

00:09:10I feel like you do.

00:09:11I'm just telling you how I feel.

00:09:12I just have the traits of an independent, smart, career-driven, focused woman.

00:09:18Yeah, but you can still have that.

00:09:20But that's masculine energy.

00:09:22The way you perceive things and the way you always, like, try to challenge me, it just

00:09:26comes across in a masculine way.

00:09:27I challenge you on your behaviour because I think that's healthy.

00:09:31Yeah, but it's...

00:09:32It's not always Tyson's way and Tyson's well, okay?

00:09:34But the thing is, though, you've always, you've always tried to have control.

00:09:37Like, you have these little smart-ass remarks to say as well.

00:09:39And you give them back to me.

00:09:41It comes across so rude.

00:09:43It comes across so arrogant.

00:09:44I think you're rude.

00:09:45Well, I think you're very rude.

00:09:46Mm.

00:09:47So...

00:09:47Yeah.

00:09:49It's frustrating, Steph.

00:09:50Sometimes it's so frustrating talking to you.

00:09:53It's...

00:09:53Couldn't agree more.

00:09:54Yeah.

00:09:58I would not agree more.

00:10:00Full of contradictions.

00:10:02I couldn't agree more.

00:10:06For Mel and Luke, despite a recent positive turnaround, moving back into the same apartment

00:10:12has seen no further romantic progression between them.

00:10:17Hello.

00:10:18Hello.

00:10:18How are you going?

00:10:19Good, how are you going?

00:10:21Yeah, not bad.

00:10:22Not bad.

00:10:25The more time I spend with him, the more I realise that my feelings aren't developing.

00:10:30I don't want to kiss him.

00:10:32I don't want to cuddle him.

00:10:33Like, because I don't have feelings for him.

00:10:36My body's telling me no.

00:10:41Feeling upset by how everything's played out.

00:10:44To be honest, I'm really upset by it too.

00:10:49Every day in this experiment I wake up and I'm like, maybe today's the day, like, my feelings

00:10:53will develop but haven't felt that attraction towards him.

00:11:00I've been open to trying to get there.

00:11:03Yeah.

00:11:04And I need you to know that, like, I have also tried for six weeks.

00:11:10Like, it's a long time.

00:11:12Debatable.

00:11:17This week, there's been a shock in the experiment,

00:11:20as one bride didn't wait till the commitment ceremony to let her intentions be known.

00:11:26In the past week, Grace and I have really sort of navigated where we're both at in this connection.

00:11:35We've had some honest chats and I shared with him, you know, a letter letting him know how I was

00:11:42feeling.

00:11:43That burning desire we have both spoken about doesn't seem to be growing.

00:11:48So, yeah, we're essentially, you know, broken up.

00:11:53It isn't something that I take lightly, you know.

00:11:56But I think I would be betraying myself if I wasn't listening to what my body and my heart and

00:12:02my mind is telling me.

00:12:04And I definitely feel just disconnected and confused.

00:12:10Despite a strong initial start.

00:12:14So cute.

00:12:15And Grayson's efforts to follow Julia's lead.

00:12:19Dangle your head.

00:12:21What's been working for us is just allowing Jules to take things at our own pace.

00:12:26Julia has kept Grayson at arm's length, which was further compounded off the back of a difficult intimacy week.

00:12:34I want to continue the emotional depth and expanding the natural, organic, free flowing energy that I probably need to

00:12:43romantically connect.

00:12:45What's the greatest moment you've had on the footy field?

00:12:49What's your favourite quality about your ex?

00:12:53But after weeks of trying, Julia drew her line in the sand.

00:12:58That burning desire doesn't seem to be growing.

00:13:01Making her decision very clear.

00:13:03Julia, I've seen you lean in.

00:13:05However, at this stage, a flame of mutual chemistry hasn't been ignited and I don't want to force anything.

00:13:16I'm not sure how to feel about going into tonight.

00:13:19There's a whole different range of emotions I'm feeling.

00:13:21It's hard to pinpoint it all.

00:13:24I really care about her.

00:13:25I wanted there to be a future there for us.

00:13:28I just feel like I've never been really given a proper chance by Julia.

00:13:33You know, I've sort of begged for transparency and honesty and clarity.

00:13:39And I just haven't ever got it.

00:13:43I want to fall in love with someone.

00:13:44I want to be a father.

00:13:46I want to build a life with someone.

00:13:48And yeah, it's just at this point, it's not happening.

00:13:55Yeah, I mean, I'm so far from where I would have liked this to be.

00:14:22Hello, James.

00:14:23Hello.

00:14:24How are we going?

00:14:25Good to see you all.

00:14:26See you.

00:14:27Hi, everyone.

00:14:27Hi.

00:14:40Good evening, ladies.

00:14:41Hello, ladies.

00:14:44Lovely to see you all.

00:14:48Hi.

00:14:49Hello.

00:14:49How are you, everyone?

00:14:50Good.

00:14:50How are you?

00:14:51Welcome.

00:14:53New couples.

00:14:55Hello.

00:15:03They're all coming for me.

00:15:15Welcome, everybody, to the third commitment ceremony.

00:15:21And to kick things off, we would like to welcome our three new couples, Chris and Sam.

00:15:26Joe and Juliet and Tyson and Stephanie.

00:15:30Because you haven't had a chance to do any of the tasks or get any guidance from us until

00:15:36today, you will not be getting a choice tonight on whether you stay or leave.

00:15:41We will try to help direct and maneuver you guys in the best way possible for the next

00:15:46week, so that at the next commitment ceremony, then you can actually start doing your choosing

00:15:51to leave or stay.

00:15:53Okay?

00:15:55Well, this week, of course, you had the opportunity, the original couples, to celebrate your one

00:16:00month anniversary.

00:16:02And this is the first time we've ever done this within the experiment.

00:16:05So we're really looking forward to hearing how you've come together, reflected on the last

00:16:10month together, and really celebrated the union that you're developing so far.

00:16:15Now, I'm sure some of you will be nervous about coming up on the couch tonight.

00:16:21I can assure you, you should be, because what we saw last night was something that we need

00:16:31to address.

00:16:33The dinner party, it was hugely dramatic, a lot of accusations were thrown around, and

00:16:42certainly sitting here tonight, some couples are in crisis.

00:16:49Tonight, we're going to unpack all of that and more.

00:16:54You will be different as couples as you leave here tonight.

00:16:57That, I can assure you.

00:17:03Now, on that note, let's get our first couple up on the couch.

00:17:12Stephanie and Tice.

00:17:14Let's go.

00:17:21How's it going?

00:17:22Hello, you too.

00:17:23Welcome to the experiment.

00:17:25It's good to be here.

00:17:28Now, as you know, this is a situation where we get to dive into your relationship, ask

00:17:33you some pretty tough questions, but you don't have a stay-or-leave situation.

00:17:39This is really for you to then move forward and use what we tell you.

00:17:44But we do require you to open up and get real with us.

00:17:51Tell us about where you're at, because last night at the dinner party, you looked quite

00:17:57frosty.

00:17:57You weren't a team.

00:18:00What went on?

00:18:02Look, with that, John, I felt like I had everyone against me, obviously, at the dinner table.

00:18:08I felt like Steph didn't sort of support me in my...

00:18:15Yeah, she's very quiet.

00:18:16And I get it, she's a female, like...

00:18:23Yeah, yeah.

00:18:24So, she probably didn't want to get too argumentative.

00:18:29Yeah.

00:18:33I don't think it has anything to do with being a female.

00:18:35I don't know.

00:18:35I'm just saying, like, maybe she didn't want to get too involved there.

00:18:38But just from the get-go, for me, I haven't felt that connection with Steph at all.

00:18:47Physical, emotional, mental, whatever you want to call it.

00:18:52Jeez, that's just about everything.

00:18:53It is.

00:18:54It is, yeah.

00:18:56So, you're saying that she doesn't meet your needs in a number of ways?

00:19:01To an extent, yes.

00:19:03How does that land for you, Steph?

00:19:06I find it very confusing, to be honest,

00:19:09because I think when I think back to, like, Tyson's vows

00:19:13and what he spoke about, what he wants from a woman,

00:19:16I feel like I do check a fair few of the criteria that he described.

00:19:21Such as?

00:19:23Someone who's, like, goal-driven, ambitious...

00:19:27..someone who's a family girl...

00:19:30..someone who wants to, you know, build the dream life,

00:19:32be a bit of a power couple.

00:19:35I feel like I tick a lot of those boxes.

00:19:39But he doesn't like any of that.

00:19:44Well, I do...

00:19:44Is that true to us?

00:19:45No, I do to an extent...

00:19:46It's too masculine for Tyson.

00:19:48As you can see, she talks very pretentious.

00:19:51Well, that's new.

00:19:52Look, John, she does talk down to me.

00:19:54I'm so sick of her talking down to me like that.

00:19:57We constantly bicker and argue over this.

00:20:00Here's what you need to know.

00:20:02You say she's offending you by the way she speaks to you.

00:20:07Have you heard how you speak to her?

00:20:17Look, John, she does talk down to me.

00:20:20I'm so sick of her talking down to me like that.

00:20:23We constantly bicker and argue over this.

00:20:26Here's what you need to know.

00:20:28You say she's offending you by the way she speaks to you.

00:20:33Have you heard how you speak to her?

00:20:41Last night at the dinner party,

00:20:43you called her a temporary wife.

00:20:48You said if I liked her more,

00:20:51I might pay for the full dinner bill.

00:20:55Inner monks telling her that she is far too much like a man.

00:21:01You're eroding any sort of bond that you can have.

00:21:08Yeah, I'm at, like, my breaking point now.

00:21:10I really do feel like I want to leave the experiment.

00:21:14Tyson, is she right?

00:21:15Is she too masculine for you?

00:21:18Um...

00:21:22She's definitely not the submissive type, that's for sure.

00:21:32What's the submissive type?

00:21:33Help me understand.

00:21:35Um, well, I'd say a little bit more easygoing,

00:21:37not constantly talking down to me.

00:21:39It's not submissive, John, is it?

00:21:41When someone's constantly in your face trying to challenge you,

00:21:43it comes across very domineering.

00:21:46It's masculine in my eyes.

00:21:48Mm.

00:21:49Mm.

00:21:50So a feminine woman would look like what to you?

00:21:54Um, just the opposite of Steph.

00:21:59There's been a couple of times

00:22:00where I've felt a little bit emasculated.

00:22:02Even during the wedding day,

00:22:03she asked me if I'd be a househusband.

00:22:05Um, no, I wouldn't be a househusband.

00:22:08Um...

00:22:08I think it was because you said that you want five kids,

00:22:11and I said, oh, so...

00:22:12Four or five kids, I don't know.

00:22:13Are you going to stay at home with the kids?

00:22:14And you said, well, you may as well just ask me to wear a skirt.

00:22:19Meaning, that's a woman's job.

00:22:21I think it is, for sure.

00:22:24I've always...

00:22:25The way I've been raised is traditional values.

00:22:27Um, my dad was the breadwinner,

00:22:30um, and my mum stayed at home and looked after us kids.

00:22:34It's good to hear you be very clear

00:22:35about what it is you believe would be a good match for you.

00:22:39And you're talking about quite a traditional feminine role.

00:22:43That's one thing.

00:22:45But you're using another word to describe this ideal partner

00:22:48that I think is a little bit concerning.

00:22:52You're using the word submissive.

00:22:54So, when you're saying here to Steph, in front of Steph,

00:22:59I want a submissive woman,

00:23:01you're saying, I want to be with someone

00:23:03who will lie down, give up their rights,

00:23:07not try to have their needs met,

00:23:10who will make the relationship all about you and your needs.

00:23:16I'm not saying that.

00:23:17Well, you are.

00:23:18I'm not.

00:23:20You actually are saying that.

00:23:21OK, but I'm not.

00:23:22You're using the word submissive.

00:23:24Yeah, well, maybe, maybe I've got the word submissive wrong.

00:23:29Language matters.

00:23:31Mm-hm.

00:23:31And when you're talking about, you know,

00:23:33what you want in a relationship

00:23:34and you're using words like that one,

00:23:36it has meaning.

00:23:37Mm-hm.

00:23:37And it has an impact on your partner.

00:23:39So, what would you call it then?

00:23:41Like, if I didn't want someone so challenging,

00:23:44and dominant in a relationship,

00:23:47what word would you use?

00:23:49Well, are you saying that you want to be

00:23:50with someone who doesn't challenge you?

00:23:53Essentially.

00:23:55Wow.

00:23:57Can I ask why?

00:23:58Because I just feel like it creates,

00:24:00it just creates conflict in a relationship.

00:24:04Part of having an interpersonal relationship

00:24:08is challenging each other, is disagreeing,

00:24:11is being able to debate

00:24:12and, you know, have conversation.

00:24:15Mm-hm.

00:24:17But more importantly,

00:24:19you're not superior to Steph.

00:24:21I've never said I was.

00:24:22Well, you're behaving as though you are.

00:24:24You're behaving as though

00:24:25you should not be challenged.

00:24:27Mm-hm.

00:24:28You should only be the one

00:24:29with the right to challenge her.

00:24:32Can you see that?

00:24:34Um, to an extent.

00:24:39Stephanie, are you attracted to Tyson?

00:24:42Um, I mean, physically, yeah.

00:24:44Mm.

00:24:46But personality,

00:24:48absolutely not.

00:24:54I'm not that bad, am I?

00:24:59Um, no, you're not that bad, Tyson.

00:25:01I think you've got very outdated views.

00:25:06But I'm willing to continue

00:25:08to try and work with that

00:25:10because I see a lot of good in you

00:25:12and I can see why we've been matched.

00:25:14I just think it's very clear to me

00:25:17why you're also single as well

00:25:19because I think you're looking for someone

00:25:21that's maybe not out there

00:25:22unless you find them in church.

00:25:26That's a good way of looking at it.

00:25:27I agree, actually.

00:25:30Why come on Married at First Sight

00:25:32when you could have just gone to church

00:25:33and met somebody?

00:25:35I mean, you three experts are here for a reason

00:25:37and I gave you guys criteria

00:25:39of what I look for in a partner

00:25:40and I said, may as well give it a go.

00:25:42Did you think that every single box

00:25:44that you wanted in a perfect match

00:25:47would be ticked?

00:25:50I was hoping at least 90%.

00:25:52Wow.

00:25:53Yeah.

00:25:54Tyson, I'm going to let you into a secret.

00:26:00You're a very hard person to match.

00:26:03Really?

00:26:03Yes.

00:26:05Does that come as a surprise to you?

00:26:07Um, well, I've been married before, John,

00:26:10so it does.

00:26:10I mean, look, I hope I'm not single forever.

00:26:16Do you know, the irony to all of this, Tyson,

00:26:19is that while you're not a particularly easy person to match,

00:26:25we have found someone who's highly compatible with you.

00:26:30You're both calm, sensible, disciplined, ambitious.

00:26:34You have strong family values.

00:26:35You wanted a mature woman who looks after herself.

00:26:39You do have very similar world views.

00:26:42Some can be polarising,

00:26:45but you share them.

00:26:47You know, she's a green flag

00:26:52in so many different ways.

00:26:55This has been very challenging for both of us,

00:26:57and it's hard for me to see this go all the way.

00:27:02It is not easy,

00:27:04and all of the new couples that have arrived here,

00:27:06they've got a lot of catching up.

00:27:10The question is,

00:27:12have you still got that curiosity?

00:27:16I just...

00:27:17I just don't feel that connection there, John.

00:27:21It's just...

00:27:22It's hard for me to get curious, John.

00:27:25I think I'm absolutely frightened.

00:27:28I've never been in a relationship ever

00:27:31because I've been so scared.

00:27:33I don't want to get hurt.

00:27:34It's easy to be independent

00:27:35and live in my comfort zone

00:27:36and just live my good life,

00:27:38but I'm still just, like, here wanting to be curious

00:27:41because we're here now.

00:27:43Well, may as well.

00:27:46Surely you can sit here and say,

00:27:48you know, there is good in Steph

00:27:49that I want to find out more about.

00:27:51There is. Yeah, you've got good values.

00:27:52Well, that's the first time I've heard it.

00:27:56You said something, Steph,

00:27:57that was very important just then.

00:28:00You said you're frightened and scared.

00:28:03How did that land for you, Tyson?

00:28:08Well, to hear that she's frightened and scared,

00:28:10it does make me feel like a bit of a failure to an extent,

00:28:15but I want the best for Steph

00:28:17and I don't want to make her feel a certain way.

00:28:20Maybe I've made her feel pretty bad over this past week.

00:28:24Ultimately, through this conversation,

00:28:26what you can learn is rather than being combative,

00:28:29rather than trying to win or be right,

00:28:32you guys start moving closer when you're vulnerable.

00:28:39Be respectful and just learn about one another

00:28:42because we see a highly compatible couple

00:28:45and we just need you to start turning on to that.

00:28:49And now you can go back to the group.

00:28:53Off you go.

00:29:05Coming up, feelings deepen.

00:29:08When I'm with her, yeah, she just...

00:29:10It makes me feel like, yeah, like I'm at home.

00:29:13Hmm.

00:29:14What's making you feel so emotional, Grayson?

00:29:16Grayson's heavy heart.

00:29:20I don't know.

00:29:21I just feel a bit helpless, you know?

00:29:23I just...

00:29:23I want love so bad.

00:29:25And then...

00:29:26I only didn't like Alyssa from what I heard from Beck.

00:29:30The bride's issues ignite.

00:29:32At the end of the day, you know,

00:29:33there's lies that come out of...

00:29:35out of Gia's mouth.

00:29:36Like, I'm trying to hold back.

00:29:38This is...this is infuriating.

00:29:40Enough is enough.

00:29:47Next up...

00:29:51Stella and Philip.

00:29:56Hello.

00:30:02So let's get into it.

00:30:04How was the one-month anniversary?

00:30:06On the anniversary night, like, I cooked dinner,

00:30:10and I ended up getting her this black tourmaline necklace.

00:30:14Oh, beautiful.

00:30:15I know that this is, like, important to her.

00:30:17We've got her stones.

00:30:18I wrote her a card as well, you know.

00:30:20Just little things like that, you know.

00:30:23So all sorts of thoughtfulness and progression.

00:30:26I wonder where feelings are progressing.

00:30:29We're kind of low-key, you know,

00:30:31having outline of what it would look like

00:30:34after we leave this experiment.

00:30:37It's all positive signs.

00:30:40How does he make you feel?

00:30:42He makes me feel cared for.

00:30:46He definitely makes me feel a priority,

00:30:48which, after three days of spending time together,

00:30:51I was like, yeah, that could be my person.

00:30:53So, yeah.

00:30:54Do you sustain that today?

00:30:56Yes.

00:30:56Yeah, yeah, I do.

00:30:59And, Philip, when you're with Stella,

00:31:01how does she make you feel?

00:31:03Yeah, we're just, yeah, like,

00:31:05when I'm with her, yeah, she just makes me feel like, yeah,

00:31:09like I'm at home.

00:31:10Hmm.

00:31:13I just feel like I don't have to pretend.

00:31:16Yeah.

00:31:16Which is good.

00:31:17It's great.

00:31:18I have to say I really enjoy your giddy smile

00:31:21that you can't wipe off your face, Philip.

00:31:23Yeah.

00:31:24It's very nice.

00:31:25It's gorgeous.

00:31:26Just...

00:31:29Well, let's go to the decision, you guys.

00:31:32Yeah.

00:31:33Let's start with...

00:31:35Philip.

00:31:37Well, yeah, like, I can't really fault you.

00:31:42You're definitely making this experience that it is and it should be.

00:31:46And, yeah, I'm not really going anywhere,

00:31:49so I'm just going to hang around.

00:31:50Stay in.

00:31:52Yeah.

00:31:53Yeah.

00:31:55And Stella?

00:31:57There's definitely a lot of love shared and given to each other

00:32:01and just keep on building on that, what we have.

00:32:07Amazing.

00:32:09Thanks, guys.

00:32:10Love it.

00:32:11Have a great week, guys.

00:32:16Thanks.

00:32:17Sorry.

00:32:19Bye.

00:32:19Bye, darling.

00:32:20Cheers.

00:32:22Our next couple up on the couch...

00:32:27Luke and Mel.

00:32:33Hello.

00:32:34Greetings, you two.

00:32:35Hi.

00:32:38How have you guys been this week?

00:32:42This whole experiment is to build a relationship with somebody

00:32:45and the past few days, I haven't been feeling anything.

00:32:50And it's making me feel anxious because, you know,

00:32:54I know I'm meant to feel those feelings and I'm just not.

00:32:58It's like I can't continue waking up and being like,

00:33:01maybe today's the day I develop feelings

00:33:03because it's not happening.

00:33:08It's like watching a pot of water trying to boil.

00:33:13If you're just watching it, it's not ever going to start boiling.

00:33:15Can I jump in there?

00:33:18I personally feel like Mel hasn't really tried throughout this whole experiment.

00:33:27Like, yeah, there's times where I feel like you've tried on paper

00:33:30and she's bought me some gifts,

00:33:33but I don't want gifts.

00:33:34I don't care for gifts.

00:33:35I want to spend quality time.

00:33:37I want to get to know you.

00:33:38I want to grow something.

00:33:40It's taken a continual toll on me,

00:33:43but every day I've just tried to come back positive.

00:33:45I really have.

00:33:47I've never put so much effort into a person

00:33:51than I have with Mel on this experiment.

00:33:54The reason why I'm like this

00:33:58is because I'm not feeling any romantic feelings.

00:34:02What are you looking for in somebody

00:34:04who you think you can fall in love with in time?

00:34:09Just looking for someone who has empathy,

00:34:11who hears me,

00:34:14who makes me feel

00:34:17like they can take the weight off my shoulders.

00:34:19He does all those things.

00:34:22Realistically, would you say that Luke is an unsupportive person?

00:34:25No, I would not say that about him.

00:34:27Would you say he lacks empathy?

00:34:29No.

00:34:30Would you say that he has no practical skills

00:34:33and can't fix anything?

00:34:34No, I would not say that about him.

00:34:37The person that you said

00:34:39that you would fall in love with over time,

00:34:41you've just described Luke.

00:34:44Are you aware of that?

00:34:49Yeah.

00:34:51How does that feel?

00:34:55I don't know.

00:34:56Interesting because it's like,

00:34:58it's like on paper then.

00:34:59Why don't I just have feelings for him,

00:35:02you know?

00:35:02Like, I should.

00:35:05Well, I guess where I challenge you, Mel,

00:35:07is whether you've given him a go.

00:35:09And really, only you can answer that.

00:35:11But from where we're sitting,

00:35:14you've been given somebody

00:35:16who could absolutely make your life amazing.

00:35:21and it's never got past the wedding day.

00:35:28He showed up late,

00:35:30he chewed gum,

00:35:32and that was game over.

00:35:34You couldn't forgive him.

00:35:37We could not have matched you with someone more compatible than Luke

00:35:42to give you a happily ever after.

00:35:46Let's go to the decision.

00:35:49Let's go with you first.

00:35:50Luke.

00:35:53It's been a wild ride.

00:35:57And, like,

00:35:58I'm so grateful for, like, this whole experiment.

00:36:00But, yeah, obviously, like,

00:36:02there comes a point where, like,

00:36:03you can't keep going.

00:36:05So, yeah.

00:36:07Gotcha.

00:36:14And what about you, Mel?

00:36:15To be honest with you,

00:36:16I couldn't have foreseen

00:36:18how hard this experiment was going to be for me.

00:36:21But I do want to say, like,

00:36:22I'm really happy that I met you.

00:36:25And I'm really sorry about everything.

00:36:27Oh, that's all good.

00:36:27And I really hope we can continue to be real friends.

00:36:30Yeah.

00:36:31But I also decided to leave.

00:36:33Right.

00:36:39Well, look,

00:36:40it has been disappointing for us.

00:36:42Yeah.

00:36:43Because we had such high hopes,

00:36:44and you are so highly compatible.

00:36:47It is sad to see you go,

00:36:49but we wish you all the best for the future.

00:36:51Good luck.

00:36:52All the best to both of you.

00:37:03Well, it's time to get our next couple up on the couch.

00:37:08Alyssa and David.

00:37:14Hello.

00:37:19Well, how have the two of you been

00:37:21since our last couch encounter?

00:37:23You good.

00:37:24Oh, yeah.

00:37:25Well, you know,

00:37:26it's been a fantastic ride with Alyssa.

00:37:28We're falling for each other.

00:37:30I feel very vulnerable.

00:37:31I feel like I can trust her.

00:37:34Yeah.

00:37:35Like, we're learning things about each other

00:37:37every single day.

00:37:38You know, you've given me

00:37:39literally everything I wanted.

00:37:40It makes me feel safe.

00:37:44All right, you two,

00:37:45I want to pivot to the dinner party

00:37:47because we've certainly all seen you being a very strong couple

00:37:52and you've come under fire

00:37:54and these dinner parties have occurred

00:37:57and the group have got together.

00:37:59now two weeks running.

00:38:00Things have been said about you.

00:38:02You've been accused.

00:38:03And I'm just wondering,

00:38:06why do you think people are coming after you?

00:38:11Ask them.

00:38:13I don't know.

00:38:14I don't know.

00:38:15What about you, David?

00:38:16Any thoughts on why

00:38:18certain members of the group

00:38:19find the two of you,

00:38:21I guess, targets?

00:38:24For me,

00:38:25I actually can't understand it.

00:38:26Like, it just makes no sense.

00:38:27Like, we're just out here

00:38:28focusing on what we have

00:38:30and I hope everyone else

00:38:31is having a great time

00:38:32in their relationship.

00:38:33I just,

00:38:34I feel like me and Alyssa

00:38:36are at the point

00:38:36where we don't have energy for it.

00:38:38Every single week,

00:38:39it's always something

00:38:41and I'm like,

00:38:41I don't even,

00:38:42I'm not even in this shit.

00:38:44Like, I don't know

00:38:46and I would love to know, actually.

00:38:49What's up to you, Bec,

00:38:50would you say?

00:38:53I'm genuinely sorry

00:38:54that your name has been brought up

00:38:55because at the end of the day,

00:38:58we shouldn't be talking

00:38:59about your relationship anyway.

00:39:01No.

00:39:02Bec, this is two weeks in a row

00:39:04where you are coming for Alyssa.

00:39:07Well, I didn't come for Alyssa

00:39:08last night.

00:39:09I had something to say to Gia

00:39:11and Gia was the one

00:39:12that got her phone

00:39:13and read the messages.

00:39:14So I actually haven't come

00:39:15for Alyssa last night.

00:39:16But why are you talking

00:39:17about their relationship?

00:39:19Do you know what?

00:39:19You're right and...

00:39:20I know I'm right.

00:39:23But what I don't know

00:39:24is why you're doing that.

00:39:32Being a child gymnast was tough.

00:39:35It was relentless.

00:39:37But I had a passion for it.

00:39:41So I started gymnastics

00:39:43after getting kicked out of ballet

00:39:44at six.

00:39:46I loved it.

00:39:47I wasn't very good at it,

00:39:48but it didn't stop me.

00:39:49I wanted to see how far I could go.

00:39:52I would, what we call,

00:39:53pull out of skills

00:39:54in the middle of a skill

00:39:55and I would land on my head.

00:39:56Like, you're actually

00:39:57hurting yourself.

00:39:58But you're not trying

00:39:59to hurt yourself.

00:40:01And that's when they were like,

00:40:02you need to go see

00:40:03a sports psychologist

00:40:04because this is getting

00:40:06seriously dangerous.

00:40:09That's just so normal

00:40:10in gymnastics.

00:40:15I actually haven't come

00:40:16for Alyssa last night.

00:40:17But why are you talking

00:40:18about their relationship?

00:40:20Do you know what?

00:40:21You're right and...

00:40:22I know I'm right.

00:40:24But what I don't know

00:40:25is why you're doing that.

00:40:28I don't have...

00:40:29I actually don't have

00:40:30a reason for it.

00:40:31Because you've got

00:40:31a relationship here

00:40:32that, you know,

00:40:33is trending

00:40:34in a really positive direction.

00:40:36They've got each other's

00:40:37back.

00:40:37They're affectionate.

00:40:39They've got chemistry.

00:40:40They talk about the future.

00:40:41And you're bringing it down.

00:40:44And I'm not sure

00:40:45why you would want

00:40:46to do that.

00:40:47I don't think it's just me.

00:40:49I'm not going to sit here

00:40:49and allow just me

00:40:51to be talked like that

00:40:52because the other messages

00:40:53weren't read out.

00:40:55I get what you're saying.

00:40:56I agree with it.

00:40:57And that's what I said

00:40:58to Alyssa.

00:40:58why you're doing it.

00:41:01Do you know what?

00:41:01I don't have an answer

00:41:02to that.

00:41:03Are you jealous?

00:41:06No, not at all.

00:41:07I'm...

00:41:08I'm happy.

00:41:10And...

00:41:10Doesn't sound like it.

00:41:12Yeah, no worries.

00:41:13Like, you can have

00:41:14your opinion

00:41:14and that's fine.

00:41:16I'm just going to

00:41:17call a spay to spay.

00:41:19Like, I only didn't

00:41:20like Alyssa

00:41:21from what I heard

00:41:22from Bec.

00:41:24I definitely engaged

00:41:25in mean girl behaviour

00:41:25that I'm not proud of.

00:41:26Like, 100% I own that.

00:41:28But what I heard

00:41:29about you

00:41:30was quite horrible

00:41:31and I just took that

00:41:33as like,

00:41:34that's a fact.

00:41:35She knows you

00:41:36from Adelaide.

00:41:37I don't know you at all.

00:41:37But do you know what?

00:41:38I've met Bec twice

00:41:39through mutual friends

00:41:40in Adelaide.

00:41:41She doesn't know me.

00:41:42No one actually

00:41:43knows me here.

00:41:44We all deserve

00:41:45to find love.

00:41:46So, enough is enough.

00:41:50At the end of the day,

00:41:51you know,

00:41:51there's lies that come

00:41:52out of Gia's mouth

00:41:54and that's my issue.

00:41:55But I never intended

00:41:56for you to have anything

00:41:57come towards you

00:41:58at that dinner party

00:41:59last night.

00:41:59If the phone wasn't gotten,

00:42:01it never would have happened.

00:42:01You would have just sat there

00:42:02and had a nice night.

00:42:04I think you both

00:42:06caused this.

00:42:07I hate coming

00:42:08to a dinner party

00:42:09and my wife

00:42:09feeling unsettled.

00:42:10I hate seeing

00:42:12her sad

00:42:13and I have to

00:42:14go home

00:42:15and pick up

00:42:15the pieces

00:42:16because grown ladies

00:42:17like yourselves

00:42:18can't take accountability

00:42:20and stop it

00:42:20from happening,

00:42:21you know?

00:42:24All right.

00:42:25What you do need

00:42:26to think about,

00:42:27Bec,

00:42:28is why you're doing it

00:42:29because you haven't

00:42:30answered that question

00:42:31and that's an important one.

00:42:32That's what you need

00:42:33to sit on.

00:42:34But for you,

00:42:35Gia,

00:42:36you've got to also realise

00:42:37that when you

00:42:37brought up the receipts

00:42:39to have a crack at Bec,

00:42:40it dragged

00:42:41Alyssa into it.

00:42:44And again,

00:42:45she's now walking away

00:42:46from a dinner party

00:42:47shattered

00:42:48because the people

00:42:49in this experiment

00:42:50are talking behind

00:42:51her back

00:42:52and essentially

00:42:53throwing grenades

00:42:54into her relationship.

00:42:57And there is a pattern

00:42:58here that you,

00:42:59Bec and Gia,

00:43:00need to be aware of,

00:43:01which is when you

00:43:02go into a dinner party

00:43:03and you come out

00:43:05all guns blazing

00:43:06and you scorch earth

00:43:08anyone that comes

00:43:08in your way,

00:43:10you then roll up

00:43:11at the commitment ceremonies

00:43:13and apologise.

00:43:15But you're still

00:43:16doing the same thing.

00:43:19Well, look,

00:43:20there's no doubt

00:43:20that you two

00:43:21have had a lot

00:43:22to face

00:43:24and to overcome

00:43:25this week.

00:43:27But what we see

00:43:28in front of us

00:43:28is a couple

00:43:29that is very strong.

00:43:31Despite how much noise

00:43:33there is around

00:43:34your relationship.

00:43:35So well done.

00:43:37But with that being said,

00:43:39let's go to the decision.

00:43:40Stay or leave

00:43:41and we're going to go

00:43:41with you first, David.

00:43:43I'm proud of you.

00:43:44I'm proud of your resilience

00:43:46and I can't wait to see

00:43:47how the next couple weeks

00:43:49of this experiment goes.

00:43:50I treasure you

00:43:51and obviously

00:43:53I'm here to stay.

00:43:55Good stuff, David.

00:43:57And what about you,

00:43:57Alyssa?

00:43:58Stay or leave?

00:43:58I love that you are

00:44:00open with me.

00:44:01I really appreciate you

00:44:02and yeah,

00:44:04I'm so lucky

00:44:04to call you my husband.

00:44:05So I am,

00:44:07I'm going to stay.

00:44:08Lovely.

00:44:09Fantastic.

00:44:11Well done.

00:44:12Fantastic.

00:44:13It's so wonderful

00:44:14for us to hear you

00:44:15say that you treasure her.

00:44:16Oh, it's nice.

00:44:17That's beautiful.

00:44:18Thanks, guys.

00:44:19Have a wonderful week ahead.

00:44:20Thanks so much.

00:44:20Well done, guys.

00:44:32Thanks, guys.

00:44:38Next couple up.

00:44:41Julia and Grace.

00:44:47Hello.

00:44:48How are you, guys?

00:44:49Hello, you too.

00:44:50How are you?

00:44:51Hi.

00:44:54Last week when we saw you

00:44:56on this couch,

00:44:57you really seemed

00:44:58to have turned a corner.

00:45:00So, frankly,

00:45:02we are sitting here

00:45:03wondering what

00:45:05has happened

00:45:05to derail that.

00:45:07Well,

00:45:09after we

00:45:11saw you guys

00:45:12last time,

00:45:13I really took on,

00:45:15you know,

00:45:15your advice of,

00:45:16you know,

00:45:17kissing leads

00:45:18to more kissing.

00:45:19And so,

00:45:20Grace and I kissed again.

00:45:23But unfortunately,

00:45:25nothing really kind of

00:45:25unfurled after that.

00:45:27I then,

00:45:28I did like a pulse check.

00:45:29I felt like

00:45:30we were sort of talking

00:45:31about this burning desire.

00:45:33Is there a burning desire here?

00:45:36So,

00:45:37I realised

00:45:38I didn't think

00:45:39that the romantic side

00:45:41of this connection

00:45:42was really flourishing.

00:45:45And so,

00:45:47I wrote

00:45:48Grace in a letter

00:45:51letting him know

00:45:52that I didn't feel

00:45:54like this was

00:45:56sort of

00:45:56that soul

00:45:58connection

00:45:59that I

00:46:00came into

00:46:01this experiment for

00:46:02and sort of

00:46:05went separately

00:46:06separate ways.

00:46:07I moved into

00:46:08a different apartment

00:46:09after that.

00:46:10Yeah.

00:46:11And how did that land

00:46:12for you,

00:46:13Grace,

00:46:13in hearing that?

00:46:15Um,

00:46:17oh,

00:46:17it made me feel

00:46:21that the energy,

00:46:23the emotion,

00:46:24the vulnerability,

00:46:25the buy-in

00:46:26has all just been a,

00:46:28um,

00:46:30has gone to waste.

00:46:33Do you feel

00:46:34rejected?

00:46:35Yeah.

00:46:37She's not physically

00:46:37present,

00:46:38she's not emotionally

00:46:39present,

00:46:40and that's been

00:46:41since

00:46:42probably three or four

00:46:43days after we moved in

00:46:45that this has been

00:46:46occurring.

00:46:46What I find really

00:46:48difficult is

00:46:48that,

00:46:50um,

00:46:51I kind of get

00:46:52these mixed messages

00:46:54with Gray,

00:46:54like,

00:46:56so the,

00:46:57the needs he has,

00:46:59I'm,

00:47:00I'm not fully across,

00:47:01I don't feel like

00:47:01he's transparently

00:47:03telling me his needs.

00:47:04The energy,

00:47:06it's not inviting,

00:47:07I'm not invited

00:47:08into his experience.

00:47:10For me,

00:47:11I think Julia

00:47:12is all words.

00:47:13Her communication

00:47:14style is just

00:47:15blurting out,

00:47:16it's just

00:47:16listen to respond.

00:47:21Whenever I need

00:47:22to talk about

00:47:23something,

00:47:23I can't.

00:47:24Questions like,

00:47:25do you want to

00:47:25have a family?

00:47:26Do you want to

00:47:27have a family one day?

00:47:28Oh,

00:47:28I'd like the option

00:47:29to have a family.

00:47:30Do you see a future

00:47:31with me?

00:47:31Is there any part of you

00:47:32that see a future

00:47:33with me?

00:47:33Oh,

00:47:33if there was ever

00:47:34an emotional connection.

00:47:35Everything is airy-fairy,

00:47:37there is no certainty,

00:47:38I just want clarity.

00:47:41We're talking about

00:47:42emotions,

00:47:42you know,

00:47:43Grayson would want,

00:47:44like,

00:47:44a yes or a no,

00:47:46black,

00:47:46or a very binary,

00:47:47answer that I wasn't

00:47:50able to give

00:47:50because it's complex.

00:47:53We don't speak

00:47:53the same language.

00:47:54Yeah,

00:47:55your language is vague.

00:47:57There is no...

00:47:58I call it nuanced,

00:47:59you call it vague.

00:48:00We've said this many times,

00:48:02we go around and around

00:48:03in circles.

00:48:04I just feel

00:48:06so unseen.

00:48:08There's no other way

00:48:09to put it.

00:48:10What do you mean by that?

00:48:11For what I do

00:48:12put into this connection,

00:48:14it's like...

00:48:15What have you put into it?

00:48:17I...

00:48:17Good question.

00:48:17I have put my energy,

00:48:20I've tried to build rapport

00:48:21with Grayson

00:48:22in terms of romance.

00:48:24That's so...

00:48:25That is untrue.

00:48:29For me to grow as a person

00:48:31and in connection,

00:48:32how could have I supported you more?

00:48:33Well, you could have been present,

00:48:34you could have invested

00:48:36your time and energy

00:48:37into the marriage that we have.

00:48:38We're married.

00:48:39You just don't say anything with...

00:48:41We just don't speak

00:48:41the same language.

00:48:42We don't speak

00:48:43the same language.

00:48:44Like...

00:48:47I am exhausted.

00:48:48Yeah, I think we're both exhausted.

00:48:52Grayson, did you see a future with Julia

00:48:54at any point?

00:48:57I fantasised a future.

00:49:00When I saw her

00:49:01walking down the aisle,

00:49:02I was just so excited

00:49:03and I had no other expectations

00:49:04apart from leaving here,

00:49:06being in love.

00:49:07So you had high hopes?

00:49:09I had high hopes until...

00:49:12I guess Julia wrote that letter

00:49:13and told me she was out.

00:49:17Last night, Julia,

00:49:19I heard you comment,

00:49:20I believe you were

00:49:21questioning Grayson

00:49:23about whether or not

00:49:24he felt comfortable

00:49:26or not

00:49:27in regards to your bisexuality.

00:49:29Is that an issue

00:49:30that has been coming up

00:49:32between you

00:49:32that maybe we haven't been

00:49:33hearing about here

00:49:34on the couch?

00:49:36So, in this whole experiment,

00:49:37I said I don't mind

00:49:39being matched

00:49:39with a man or a woman.

00:49:40There was no preference there.

00:49:42And so I was a bit confused

00:49:43because we hadn't spoken

00:49:44about my bisexuality

00:49:45for quite some time.

00:49:48Last night,

00:49:49I was told that

00:49:52Julia

00:49:53made a comment

00:49:54to someone that

00:49:56she feels like

00:49:57this experiment

00:49:58would have been a lot easier

00:49:59if it was with a female.

00:50:00So...

00:50:00Did you say that, Julia?

00:50:02No.

00:50:02I don't recall

00:50:03saying that.

00:50:05I mean,

00:50:06in terms of

00:50:08easier,

00:50:08I mean,

00:50:09I don't think...

00:50:09In terms of anything,

00:50:10would it have been

00:50:11for you something

00:50:13that you think

00:50:14would have made it

00:50:15better, easier?

00:50:16If I had a preference

00:50:17to embark

00:50:19on a journey like this,

00:50:20I would have been

00:50:21very clear.

00:50:23If I wanted

00:50:24to be matched

00:50:25with a woman,

00:50:26I would have just said that.

00:50:27So it was never

00:50:28a question for you

00:50:29in not finding

00:50:30that connection

00:50:31with Grayson,

00:50:31that maybe

00:50:32it would have been

00:50:32different with

00:50:33a different human

00:50:34of a different gender?

00:50:36No, just a different human.

00:50:37Okay, just a different human.

00:50:42Does that make sense to you?

00:50:43I'm just exhausted.

00:50:45I've got nothing

00:50:45left in the tank.

00:50:50But for me,

00:50:51this experiment,

00:50:51I wasn't going to leave

00:50:52any stone unturned.

00:50:54I gave it

00:50:55everything I've got.

00:50:56And for me,

00:50:56and for that,

00:50:57I'm super proud.

00:51:00And I'm so shattered.

00:51:04You know,

00:51:05I'm at a point

00:51:06where I'm like,

00:51:06am I ever going

00:51:08to find my person?

00:51:09Am I ever going

00:51:10to find love?

00:51:12That's understandable.

00:51:13And we certainly

00:51:14appreciate the effort

00:51:16that you very clearly

00:51:17put forth

00:51:19from your perspective

00:51:20and your reality

00:51:21and your experience

00:51:22in this experiment.

00:51:34What's making you

00:51:35feel so emotional,

00:51:36Grayson?

00:51:39What's coming up?

00:51:48I don't know.

00:51:49I just feel a bit

00:51:50helpless, you know?

00:51:51I want love so bad.

00:51:57It's, um...

00:51:58Yeah, it's tough.

00:52:03There's only one thing

00:52:04left to do.

00:52:06Julia, what is

00:52:07your decision,

00:52:08stay or leave?

00:52:09Yeah, I'm really

00:52:10grateful for this

00:52:11experience.

00:52:12I've learned so much.

00:52:13Um, and this is not

00:52:17easy stuff.

00:52:18This is not simple.

00:52:20Um, but with that,

00:52:22I am saying leave.

00:52:23Yeah.

00:52:26And Grayson?

00:52:28Yeah.

00:52:29Yeah, um,

00:52:31I guess despite all the,

00:52:33um, the challenges

00:52:34we've come up against,

00:52:36I am super grateful for you

00:52:38and, yeah,

00:52:39I value your courage

00:52:40to be here.

00:52:41I know it's been

00:52:42challenging.

00:52:43So thank you for that.

00:52:45Um, thank you for the

00:52:46opportunity.

00:52:47But yeah,

00:52:47I think for me,

00:52:48my time's up here,

00:52:50so I'll choose to leave.

00:52:51Yeah.

00:52:54All right.

00:52:55Well, look,

00:52:56it's been an incredible

00:52:57process for the two of you

00:52:58and, you know,

00:53:00when we first met

00:53:00the two of you,

00:53:01a lot of what we talked

00:53:02about was alignment,

00:53:03wasn't it?

00:53:04And looking for that

00:53:05alignment and,

00:53:06unfortunately,

00:53:07you didn't quite meet

00:53:08on this occasion,

00:53:09but I think,

00:53:10Grayson,

00:53:11I think love's not far

00:53:12away for you.

00:53:14Appreciate that.

00:53:15Good on you guys.

00:53:16Thank you guys.

00:53:24Oh, dear.

00:53:28Coming up,

00:53:29it's the allegation

00:53:30that won't go away.

00:53:32I asked the question,

00:53:33is it not true

00:53:34or did you not say it?

00:53:35I'm getting frustrated

00:53:36with the whole situation

00:53:37because my name's being

00:53:38dragged through the mud.

00:53:39Why'd you say it then?

00:53:47All right,

00:53:48next couple up.

00:53:52Sam and Chris.

00:53:56Wow.

00:53:58Welcome.

00:54:00Crowd favourites there,

00:54:02aren't you?

00:54:02How are you?

00:54:03That's nice.

00:54:04A lot of support.

00:54:05I love it.

00:54:05Hi, guys.

00:54:07All right, you two.

00:54:09I've got to ask,

00:54:10what was it like walking

00:54:10into that dinner party

00:54:11last night?

00:54:12Oh, yeah.

00:54:15These guys are so amazing.

00:54:16We had the best time.

00:54:17It was great.

00:54:19And what about,

00:54:19you know,

00:54:20the sense of romance

00:54:21or chemistry there?

00:54:22What's happening?

00:54:24It's growing, I think.

00:54:25At the start,

00:54:26I didn't know where to be

00:54:27or where to feel

00:54:27or, like,

00:54:28what to do

00:54:29because you've got a ring

00:54:30on your finger

00:54:31but you're like,

00:54:31but I also just met this guy.

00:54:32Yeah.

00:54:33Now I'm like,

00:54:33okay,

00:54:34we'll just take it

00:54:34like you normally would

00:54:35meeting someone

00:54:35and we've just been

00:54:36getting to know each other

00:54:37and every day

00:54:38I get to know Chris,

00:54:39I like him more

00:54:40and he's such a warm

00:54:41and empathetic person.

00:54:42We also don't want to,

00:54:44um,

00:54:44be, like,

00:54:45super intimate just yet.

00:54:46We think it's, like,

00:54:48gentlemen to court each other

00:54:49and be a bit old school

00:54:51and take our time.

00:54:52So you're travelling

00:54:53at the same pace,

00:54:54would you say?

00:54:54Yeah.

00:54:55Yeah, like,

00:54:55I don't know,

00:54:56like, I didn't really know

00:54:57what pace to travel at

00:54:58because this is such

00:54:58a new experience for me

00:54:59so I wasn't really sure

00:55:01in the beginning.

00:55:01I was like,

00:55:02do I pass him

00:55:02or do I not?

00:55:03Like, what's going on?

00:55:05But, um,

00:55:06every day

00:55:07it's just getting better

00:55:08and better.

00:55:08Yeah, every day

00:55:09we are a little bit more

00:55:10touchy and a little bit closer

00:55:11and, like,

00:55:12Yeah, but with no pressure,

00:55:14there's no pressure on it

00:55:15which I really love,

00:55:16so, yeah.

00:55:17Well, the energy's really lovely

00:55:19and I have to say

00:55:20I love that you're really

00:55:22focusing on

00:55:23building the connection.

00:55:24Yeah.

00:55:25We're just, yeah,

00:55:26super grateful

00:55:26that you've matched us together.

00:55:29So, um,

00:55:30yeah, we're stoked.

00:55:31Yeah.

00:55:32Yeah?

00:55:32Thank you, guys.

00:55:33Thank you so much.

00:55:34Have a wonderful week.

00:55:36Good work.

00:55:39Good work.

00:55:40Thanks, guys.

00:55:41Well done.

00:55:45Our next couple

00:55:46up on the couch.

00:55:51Rachel and Stephen.

00:55:53Yeah, fantastic.

00:55:56Hello.

00:55:58Hello.

00:55:59Hey, guys.

00:56:00Hi.

00:56:01How are you?

00:56:02G'day, mate.

00:56:03Oh, there he is.

00:56:07How have you guys been this week

00:56:09with your one-month anniversary?

00:56:11It was really nice.

00:56:14We want to go fishing,

00:56:15but we couldn't go fishing,

00:56:16so I went and got a little fishing game

00:56:18so we could play fishing.

00:56:20And everyone knows

00:56:21your fishermen have got to have

00:56:22the fishermen's snacks.

00:56:24So I got a little esky

00:56:26with Stephen's favourite snacks.

00:56:28I moved a tree and everything

00:56:30to represent nature.

00:56:33We turned it on

00:56:34and the fishers were snapping.

00:56:35I'm like, oh, it's a bus stop.

00:56:37It's a fishing term.

00:56:39You're learning.

00:56:40You're learning.

00:56:41So...

00:56:43I really wanted to show Stephen

00:56:45how special he is to me,

00:56:48like my feelings for him.

00:56:49And so I really wanted to make sure

00:56:51it was quite personalised

00:56:53and aligned with, you know, Stephen.

00:56:56Yeah.

00:56:58So, Stephen, what did you do for Rachel?

00:57:00I got her some flowers, candles,

00:57:02a nice bottle of wine.

00:57:06And I'm an absolute hopeless cook,

00:57:08but I cooked up a spag bar lunch for her

00:57:11and sort of pretended to be a chef

00:57:14and, you know, came over with a, you know,

00:57:16rag on my thingy and pouring the wine,

00:57:19thinking I'm all sophisticated and fancy

00:57:22and just acting like a fool pretty much.

00:57:23That's cute.

00:57:24It was romantic,

00:57:25but sort of light-hearted romantic.

00:57:27That's what I wanted it to bring,

00:57:29so my personality to it

00:57:30and just, yeah,

00:57:31she was smiling the whole time.

00:57:33Yeah.

00:57:33I loved the lunch.

00:57:35It was beautiful.

00:57:36All right.

00:57:38Well, I do think it's time

00:57:40we get to the decision for this week.

00:57:45Let's go with Senior Steve.

00:57:48I'm really happy how this week

00:57:50what Rachel did for me was absolutely fantastic.

00:57:54I thought the thought of fishing

00:57:56and all that sort of stuff

00:57:57and thinking about that

00:57:58because it's a bit, it's fishing, you know,

00:58:00it's not everyone's cup of tea, you know,

00:58:02and it really didn't make me smile.

00:58:05So, right, stay.

00:58:10Rachel, what is your decision, stay or leave?

00:58:15Nice to stay.

00:58:17Good.

00:58:18Excellent.

00:58:22Thank you, Glenn.

00:58:23Well done.

00:58:24Thanks, guys.

00:58:24Go back to the group.

00:58:33Nice and cosy again.

00:58:36Our next couple up on the couch.

00:58:40Gia and Scott.

00:58:41Yeah.

00:58:46Hello.

00:58:47Hello, you two.

00:58:48Greetings.

00:58:50Sorry.

00:58:51Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows everywhere.

00:58:54Tell us.

00:58:54Tell us all about the sunshine and lollipops.

00:58:58It's been a good couple of weeks.

00:59:00Yeah.

00:59:00It's always good.

00:59:02We started diving into, like,

00:59:04really deep shit that no-one knows about

00:59:07that even only her family knows

00:59:09and I found it brought us really close together, so.

00:59:13Yeah.

00:59:14And then we got matching tattoos.

00:59:15Okay, well, we did hear a rumour.

00:59:18We're going to ease into the one month,

00:59:19but, I mean, you guys know.

00:59:21So this was the way you celebrated

00:59:23your one month together?

00:59:24I really felt like, okay,

00:59:26like he's fully in this.

00:59:29On a more serious note,

00:59:31we saw you at the dinner party.

00:59:33Gia, you were bringing receipts.

00:59:36And it got very heated.

00:59:38The previous week, obviously,

00:59:39I went a bit crazy.

00:59:40It was over the top

00:59:41and I really tried not to do that last night.

00:59:45But when things are said

00:59:47and it's like I'm getting brought up a few times,

00:59:49like, I've got to defend myself.

00:59:52Like, I thought we weren't going to attack

00:59:53anyone's relationship anymore.

00:59:56I'm done with that.

00:59:57Like, I'm personally done with that.

00:59:59So you weren't up to it?

01:00:00I just showed the receipts

01:00:01because, like, part of me felt attacked

01:00:03and I was hearing,

01:00:04you have no friends here

01:00:05and, like, it just, like,

01:00:06brought me back to being in high school

01:00:07and being bullied

01:00:08and it actually really hurt me,

01:00:09to be honest.

01:00:10But imagine how you hurt me

01:00:12the week before.

01:00:15You nearly caused my relationship to end.

01:00:40I didn't actually, Brooke, Brooke.

01:00:47Well, no, it came from your mouth.

01:00:49It came from your mouth, Jir.

01:00:51I don't know if anyone else saw it,

01:00:52but Brooke kept trying to say something

01:00:54with Dani and I said,

01:00:55don't, babe, don't say it,

01:00:56don't say it,

01:00:57and she said it.

01:00:57But you're the one that messaged it to her.

01:00:59Anyway.

01:01:01But that's on camera,

01:01:02so that's great.

01:01:03At the end of the day,

01:01:03it's all happened.

01:01:03Everyone needs to focus

01:01:04on their own relationship.

01:01:05Yeah, I'm done with it.

01:01:05That's all that matters.

01:01:06I'm here for this.

01:01:08This is what I came here for.

01:01:10I'm happy and I'm not,

01:01:11I'm just not engaging

01:01:12with that kind of stuff anymore.

01:01:13I've realised that I was really wrong last week.

01:01:16I've tried to be accountable

01:01:17and I, last night,

01:01:19I didn't go as crazy as I normally would.

01:01:20I didn't get involved.

01:01:22I really didn't want to go at people.

01:01:25You know what I mean?

01:01:26Sure.

01:01:27What I want to know is

01:01:28what impact does that have on you, Scott,

01:01:31when you see Jir in that state,

01:01:33in that situation?

01:01:36There's way too many positives

01:01:37in our relationship

01:01:38for me to even think about that.

01:01:39So it's like,

01:01:41and Jir only defends herself

01:01:43when in need.

01:01:44Like, she's not just trying

01:01:45to deliver something for no reason.

01:01:46It's just a defence.

01:01:49I know Jir so well now

01:01:50and how she approaches an argument,

01:01:52how she delivers things.

01:01:53It's already happened

01:01:54in the past dinner parties

01:01:55and I don't judge her any different.

01:01:57So, yeah.

01:01:59I think also, like, he agrees.

01:02:00I mean, he backed me up last night,

01:02:04which that, like, you know,

01:02:05I asked for this, like, the whole time

01:02:07to be backed up by a man.

01:02:09I've never had that

01:02:09in a relationship ever.

01:02:11So this is really

01:02:13uncharted waters for you.

01:02:14So you describe your relationship

01:02:16as going from strength to strength?

01:02:19Yeah, yeah.

01:02:21I'm really happy.

01:02:23Just on that,

01:02:24how do you feel about her?

01:02:26I'm falling for her,

01:02:28but love,

01:02:29I won't say it

01:02:30until I truly mean it.

01:02:31But I'm falling in that direction.

01:02:33100%.

01:02:34Big.

01:02:35Jir, what about you?

01:02:37It's a lot

01:02:38for me to say

01:02:39I love somebody.

01:02:41Like, falling more

01:02:42head over heels.

01:02:43I don't think it's love yet,

01:02:45but we're...

01:02:46We don't want to go too crazy yet.

01:02:47Like, we just got the tattoos.

01:02:48I think we should chill.

01:02:50So...

01:02:52What are we going to do

01:02:53after a year?

01:02:54I don't know.

01:02:55With that being the case,

01:02:57we're going to go to the decision.

01:02:58It's going to be stay or leave

01:02:59and we're going to go

01:03:00with you first.

01:03:03Scott.

01:03:04I suppose what we're doing

01:03:05is right,

01:03:06so we're not going to stop that

01:03:07and, yeah.

01:03:08Good for you.

01:03:09I'm staying.

01:03:09Love him.

01:03:1013.

01:03:10All right.

01:03:12What about you then,

01:03:13do you stay early?

01:03:14Yeah, um...

01:03:15I adore Scott.

01:03:16I just trust him

01:03:17and I believe him

01:03:18and I think...

01:03:19I just feel safe.

01:03:20I love how things are going

01:03:22and I'm going to stay

01:03:23in it all sort of

01:03:24the same thing

01:03:25with the heart.

01:03:26Love it.

01:03:26Lovely.

01:03:27Put a little 13 in there.

01:03:28That's so great.

01:03:28Yeah, that's so funny.

01:03:29What do you want to do?

01:03:30We look forward

01:03:31to seeing you next time.

01:03:32Okay.

01:03:34Have a fabulous show.

01:03:35Guys, great to see you.

01:03:35Good work.

01:03:44Our next couple

01:03:45up on the couch.

01:03:49Joel and Juliet.

01:03:54Hello.

01:03:55Welcome, you two.

01:03:56Hello, experts.

01:03:57Welcome aboard, guys.

01:03:59You guys look fabulous,

01:03:59by the way.

01:04:00Thank you very much.

01:04:02But we're more

01:04:03interested in you two.

01:04:04Yeah.

01:04:05And how you're going.

01:04:06How has this whirlwind been?

01:04:08We started off

01:04:09on the back foot

01:04:10after the wedding

01:04:11because my speeches

01:04:13were a bit out there.

01:04:15It felt like he was

01:04:16the whole day

01:04:18putting on a performance

01:04:19and being extremely theatrical

01:04:20and then when we came

01:04:21home that night,

01:04:22like, we had a really

01:04:23good deep chat

01:04:24and I said,

01:04:24look, is there a real

01:04:25side to you?

01:04:29I'm here for something

01:04:30serious and I want

01:04:31to get something

01:04:31serious out of it

01:04:33and, yeah,

01:04:34I felt like I saw

01:04:35a completely different

01:04:36side to him

01:04:38and then day by day

01:04:39it's been getting,

01:04:40like, a lot better

01:04:42but today was the day

01:04:43where I kind of came

01:04:44to the conclusion,

01:04:46okay, maybe the

01:04:47attraction's just

01:04:48not there for me.

01:04:53Like, I know, like,

01:04:54the more I get to know

01:04:55Joel, the more I'll

01:04:56probably gain attraction

01:04:58to him for sure.

01:05:01Joel, from your

01:05:02perspective, how did

01:05:03it feel to hear that

01:05:04she's not attracted to you?

01:05:06I can handle it.

01:05:07No problem.

01:05:08It's only week one.

01:05:10Attraction can grow.

01:05:12For me, I'm just more

01:05:13naturally, I think,

01:05:14warm and affectionate.

01:05:15I'm very touchy-feely,

01:05:17you know, like,

01:05:17so that's just my nature

01:05:18and maybe she's a bit

01:05:20different.

01:05:23I'm really touchy.

01:05:27Like, it's,

01:05:28that's also a big thing

01:05:29for me,

01:05:30why I'm, like,

01:05:31a bit freaked out

01:05:32that I just don't

01:05:34want to.

01:05:40Joel, last night,

01:05:42baptism of fire.

01:05:43It was bloody

01:05:44brilliant.

01:05:46Yeah,

01:05:46I could see that you

01:05:49were up for the

01:05:50challenge.

01:05:51Yeah.

01:05:51What do you think it

01:05:52was about you that got

01:05:53under the skin of some

01:05:55of the people?

01:05:56Well, particularly

01:05:57Beck, let's be honest.

01:05:58Yeah, yeah.

01:05:58Yeah.

01:05:59I think all roads lead

01:06:01to the wedding, you

01:06:02know?

01:06:03I put myself out there.

01:06:04I painted a target on

01:06:05my back by being myself,

01:06:08as I have always done

01:06:10in my whole life.

01:06:10So, this is stock

01:06:13standard for me,

01:06:14being misunderstood

01:06:15and then people get to

01:06:16know me and, like,

01:06:17hey, he's actually

01:06:18all right.

01:06:19You know, there's some

01:06:20depth to it.

01:06:21He's not a total

01:06:21moron.

01:06:25Like, a massive thing

01:06:26for me is how everyone

01:06:28else would kind of view

01:06:28him because I got to see

01:06:30that softer side.

01:06:31They hadn't seen that

01:06:32too.

01:06:34Like, everyone's impression

01:06:35of my man is extremely

01:06:37important.

01:06:38I mean, I'm trying to

01:06:40just find anything,

01:06:43any good signs, really,

01:06:46because if I wasn't part

01:06:48of this experiment and I

01:06:50had just met Joel out,

01:06:51I wouldn't be proceeding.

01:06:56And so, I'm just trying

01:06:57to find all the good

01:06:59things that are kind of

01:07:00helping me want to

01:07:01stick it out.

01:07:03Hmm.

01:07:04Look, I guess the thing

01:07:05is that, you know,

01:07:06early on you're looking

01:07:07around for evidence.

01:07:09Who is this person?

01:07:10Do they like him?

01:07:10Do they not?

01:07:11Are we going to last?

01:07:12But there's going to be a

01:07:13time where you're going

01:07:14to need to say,

01:07:16I'm in here.

01:07:17I like this guy,

01:07:18whether you like him

01:07:18or not.

01:07:19Yeah.

01:07:21Yeah, like, the balance

01:07:23is tipped in the

01:07:24positive direction, I

01:07:25feel.

01:07:27And I'm patiently

01:07:28waiting for her to grow

01:07:29that attraction to warm

01:07:30to me.

01:07:31I'm waiting.

01:07:32Take as long as you

01:07:33need, babe.

01:07:34Yeah.

01:07:36Not too long.

01:07:38You know, come on.

01:07:39Maybe you can fancy me

01:07:41next week, yeah?

01:07:44All right.

01:07:44You've had some

01:07:45difficulties early on,

01:07:46but you've got some

01:07:47clear things that you

01:07:48can hang on to.

01:07:49But also, you are

01:07:51aware that it's the

01:07:52two of you, rather

01:07:54than all of the

01:07:55noise around you

01:07:56that you need to be

01:07:57focusing on.

01:07:58So buckle up, throw

01:08:00yourself into these

01:08:01challenges, and we

01:08:02look forward to seeing

01:08:03you the next time to

01:08:04hear how you're

01:08:05progressing.

01:08:06Cool.

01:08:07Thank you, guys.

01:08:08Go back to the group.

01:08:09Thanks, guys.

01:08:10No more speeches.

01:08:15That's good.

01:08:16That's really good.

01:08:17That's good.

01:08:19Last up on the couch,

01:08:21Beck and Danny.

01:08:23Wait, wait.

01:08:30Last week, this

01:08:32relationship was really

01:08:33in trouble, specifically

01:08:35about things that Gia had

01:08:37claimed that Danny had

01:08:38said.

01:08:38Where are you at in

01:08:42respect to that?

01:08:47Stronger than ever.

01:08:48Together.

01:09:04I'm really confused.

01:09:05Danny, with you, it's

01:09:07noticeable how flat and

01:09:09miserable you look.

01:09:11So how is this stronger

01:09:13than ever?

01:09:14This is not how I would

01:09:15describe what I'm observing

01:09:16at this moment.

01:09:26I think first impressions

01:09:28when people see me, they

01:09:28must think this is just

01:09:29some dickhead of social

01:09:31media.

01:09:35Some ass influencer who

01:09:37runs around with a selfie

01:09:38stick and drinks kale

01:09:40smoothies.

01:09:40I do give off that

01:09:41impression with the fake

01:09:42teeth and the tattoos,

01:09:43right, but I'm far from

01:09:43that.

01:09:44I'm not the stereotypical

01:09:46eastern suburbs guy.

01:09:48Everyone wants to do an

01:09:49ultra or a marathon.

01:09:516 a.m. in the morning,

01:09:52you can't walk on a

01:09:52promenade because it's just

01:09:54full of these run clubs and

01:09:55squat clubs and roly-poly

01:09:57clubs.

01:09:57And it's like, who's the

01:09:58biggest?

01:09:59Who's the leanest?

01:10:00Who's got the most tattoos?

01:10:03I absolutely fit into the

01:10:04Curls for the Girls category.

01:10:06That's because I have to.

01:10:07It's my job.

01:10:09It's my job.

01:10:11I'm not going to fit into

01:10:12that bubble of matcha

01:10:13lattes and goat milk.

01:10:18I'm really confused.

01:10:21Danny, with you, it's

01:10:22noticeable how flat and

01:10:24miserable you look.

01:10:27So how is this stronger

01:10:28than ever?

01:10:29This is not how I would

01:10:30describe what I'm observing

01:10:31at this moment.

01:10:35Are you miserable?

01:10:37No.

01:10:37Obviously, I'm tired, you

01:10:40know what you mean?

01:10:41Well, yes, I'm tired, too.

01:10:45Yeah, like, commitment

01:10:46ceremonies are hard for me.

01:10:47I'm not too good at talking

01:10:48about my feelings and just

01:10:50being put on the spot.

01:10:51But if it comes across like

01:10:53I'm miserable, I apologize.

01:10:55You certainly don't look

01:10:56like you guys are together.

01:10:58You don't look connected

01:10:59to one another.

01:11:00It's one thing to just have

01:11:02flat affect at a certain

01:11:03moment, but you're describing

01:11:05stronger than ever.

01:11:10How did you feel about

01:11:11Beck's behavior last night

01:11:12at the dinner party?

01:11:14It was pretty full on.

01:11:15And I did a lot of observing

01:11:17of your faces throughout

01:11:19all of her rants.

01:11:21How did you feel?

01:11:26Obviously, Beck's my wife

01:11:27in this experiment.

01:11:28I'll always back her.

01:11:29Like, I asked for a ride

01:11:30or die.

01:11:31I don't think you can ask

01:11:32for something that you're

01:11:33not.

01:11:35I think Beck just got

01:11:37passionate in the moment

01:11:38or whatever you want to

01:11:39call it.

01:11:40But how did you feel?

01:11:43Seeing her behave that way,

01:11:45how did you feel?

01:11:46It's a tough question to answer.

01:11:48He's scared of her.

01:11:52He's dancing around the

01:11:53question.

01:11:54I don't know.

01:11:55Just answer honestly.

01:11:58Were you proud?

01:11:59Were you embarrassed?

01:12:00Um.

01:12:02You were what?

01:12:03Maybe slightly embarrassed,

01:12:05yeah.

01:12:08Why?

01:12:09Why is that?

01:12:10I don't mind confrontation,

01:12:12like, if it has to be done,

01:12:14but I'm not the type of bloke

01:12:15who's looking for it.

01:12:20Beck, I've been wanting

01:12:21to ask you this after

01:12:22watching you last night

01:12:24essentially apply a blowtorch

01:12:26to pretty much everybody

01:12:27at the dinner party.

01:12:30What did you hope to achieve?

01:12:35Why would you do that?

01:12:36I didn't think.

01:12:38I didn't.

01:12:38Why Joel?

01:12:42I don't have an excuse for it,

01:12:43John.

01:12:44I don't have an excuse for it.

01:12:48Now, what I'm wondering is,

01:12:50is that you?

01:12:52No.

01:12:52Is that your personality?

01:12:53No.

01:12:54Is that your fight style?

01:12:56No.

01:12:57Because I went away

01:12:59from those dinner parties

01:13:00thinking,

01:13:00what's it like for Danny

01:13:03behind closed doors

01:13:04if he says something wrong,

01:13:07makes a mistake?

01:13:08Mm.

01:13:09Is this you?

01:13:10No, I'm the opposite.

01:13:11I actually retreat.

01:13:13Don't you think?

01:13:15Yeah.

01:13:22Well, last night, Danny,

01:13:24she was creating

01:13:26all the drama and chaos.

01:13:29Yeah, that's a fair comment.

01:13:31She was pretty much

01:13:33in every hostile conversation

01:13:36that was had last night.

01:13:37You were setting off grenades,

01:13:39Beck.

01:13:43One of the things I noticed

01:13:44is that by doing that,

01:13:47you never had to talk about

01:13:48your relationship with Danny.

01:13:51If you sent off enough grenades

01:13:53in other people's relationships,

01:13:55you can avoid having tough conversations

01:13:57about the two of you.

01:14:00And clearly,

01:14:01you're not good together

01:14:03right now.

01:14:04You might think you are,

01:14:06you might say it,

01:14:07but what we saw last night

01:14:08was a couple in deep crisis.

01:14:12What do you think about that?

01:14:15Really angry.

01:14:18Who are you angry at, Beck?

01:14:20I'm angry at Gia.

01:14:22Are you really angry at Gia?

01:14:26I'm angry at both of them,

01:14:27but I didn't realize

01:14:28that I was still angry at him,

01:14:29but I don't want to argue with him.

01:14:33Why?

01:14:34What are you scared of?

01:14:35I'm scared that he'll leave.

01:14:40I'm scared he'll leave me.

01:14:45Sorry.

01:14:50I am.

01:14:54Danny,

01:14:55when you hear Beck say that,

01:14:56how does that land for you?

01:15:00Well,

01:15:01we've had this conversation before,

01:15:03like,

01:15:03when me and Beck,

01:15:05when we get,

01:15:06like,

01:15:06confrontational,

01:15:07I need to remove myself

01:15:08from the situation.

01:15:09That's how I deal with that.

01:15:11But then it's like,

01:15:12that triggers Beck.

01:15:14Beck's saying that she's feeling,

01:15:15she's feeling really angry at you

01:15:17because

01:15:19this whole situation

01:15:20around

01:15:21what was apparently said

01:15:23about Gia being more your type.

01:15:25Sounds like

01:15:26Beck hasn't heard enough from you

01:15:29to put her mind at ease.

01:15:31Hmm.

01:15:32I know he's told me that

01:15:33it's not true

01:15:34and I,

01:15:35and I choose to believe him.

01:15:36Did he say it's not true

01:15:37or he didn't say it?

01:15:43He didn't,

01:15:44it's not,

01:15:44he didn't say it,

01:15:45it's not true.

01:15:46I don't know.

01:15:47You're not sure,

01:15:47are you?

01:15:50Danny?

01:15:52Danny?

01:15:59I didn't say it.

01:16:02Beck needs a little more here.

01:16:04She needs more of a response.

01:16:05I asked the question,

01:16:09is it not true

01:16:10or did you not say it?

01:16:11I didn't say it,

01:16:12it's not true.

01:16:13I'm getting,

01:16:13that's why I'm getting frustrated

01:16:14with the whole situation

01:16:15because my name's being dragged

01:16:17through the mud.

01:16:17I never said that stupid comment.

01:16:19With all due respect to Gia,

01:16:21and don't take this the wrong way,

01:16:22I'm covered in tattoos

01:16:23but I don't go for girls

01:16:24who have got tattoos.

01:16:26Why'd you say it then?

01:16:28I didn't, Gia.

01:16:37Is it not true

01:16:38or did you not say it?

01:16:39I didn't say it,

01:16:40it's not true.

01:16:41I'm getting,

01:16:41that's why I'm getting frustrated

01:16:42with the whole situation

01:16:43because my name's being dragged

01:16:45through the mud.

01:16:45I never said that stupid comment.

01:16:47With all due respect to Gia,

01:16:49and don't take this the wrong way,

01:16:50I'm covered in tattoos

01:16:51but I don't go for girls

01:16:52who have got tattoos.

01:16:54Why'd you say it then?

01:16:55I didn't, Gia.

01:16:58I'm curious.

01:16:59This is why I don't want

01:17:00to talk about it

01:17:01because we just go round

01:17:02and round in circles.

01:17:03I'm not here to,

01:17:04to speak rumours

01:17:06or argue.

01:17:07I'm here for love.

01:17:08So do you believe him

01:17:10or do you need confirmation

01:17:11that Gia lies

01:17:13or doesn't lie?

01:17:16I believe him.

01:17:18You know what?

01:17:19I can't.

01:17:20Like, I'm trying to hold back.

01:17:21This is,

01:17:22this is infuriating

01:17:23because this is,

01:17:24this is the biggest issue

01:17:25with Bec

01:17:26and my friendship,

01:17:28fake ship.

01:17:29She always wants

01:17:30to talk to me off camera

01:17:31and off camera

01:17:32she tells me,

01:17:32babe, I believe you

01:17:33but what am I going to do?

01:17:34Then I've got to leave.

01:17:36I never said that.

01:17:38She's saying

01:17:38she never said that.

01:17:39I never said that.

01:17:40Of course she's not

01:17:41going to say that.

01:17:42Of course she's not

01:17:43going to go,

01:17:43yeah,

01:17:44I said that.

01:17:45Thanks Gia.

01:17:46Let's just go back

01:17:47to you,

01:17:47Danny.

01:17:48Why does she

01:17:49f***ing lie, babe?

01:17:50So what are you

01:17:51going to do differently?

01:17:53Communicate better

01:17:54next time.

01:17:55That's,

01:17:55obviously I've been

01:17:56single for four years

01:17:57so I've just got

01:17:58so used to doing

01:17:59my own thing.

01:18:00It's a fair call.

01:18:01You do get set in your ways

01:18:02and you do become

01:18:03sort of single-minded

01:18:05but you're in a relationship

01:18:06now.

01:18:07Reassurance,

01:18:08support,

01:18:09validation.

01:18:10You both need

01:18:10those things.

01:18:13It's hard for me.

01:18:14I do need validation

01:18:16and reassurance from him

01:18:17but I'm scared

01:18:18to ask for it.

01:18:19I wish you'd have

01:18:19told me that

01:18:20because you know

01:18:20I'd have done it for you.

01:18:21Anything you've ever

01:18:22asked of me

01:18:23I'll always do it for you.

01:18:24No, but part of me

01:18:25doesn't want to have to ask

01:18:26and that's what

01:18:27I'm nervous about.

01:18:28Sometimes you do though

01:18:29in relationships.

01:18:30Sometimes you do.

01:18:32You're teaching each other

01:18:33about this is how

01:18:34to work with me.

01:18:35This is what I need

01:18:36and that's part of

01:18:37that early stage

01:18:38in the relationship.

01:18:40So maybe do ask.

01:18:41Maybe give him

01:18:41a bit of guidance.

01:18:42Help him read you

01:18:44and give you

01:18:44what you need.

01:18:45Okay.

01:18:46I hope this conversation

01:18:48has been helpful today.

01:18:49I mean it looks like

01:18:50a little bit

01:18:51for both of you.

01:18:52You've sort of seen

01:18:53a little bit more

01:18:53of each other

01:18:54of what you need.

01:18:56Less focus on this.

01:18:58No more.

01:18:58More focus on this.
