Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Previously, Mel and Luke and Julia and Grayson left the experiment.
00:00:08I really wanted to show Stephen how special he is to me.
00:00:11But the third commitment ceremony also saw relationships flourish.
00:00:16I treasure you and I'm proud of you.
00:00:18I'm so lucky to call you my husband, so I'm gonna stay.
00:00:21Newcomers Chris and Sam's instant spark continued to grow.
00:00:25Every day we are a little bit more touchy and a little bit closer.
00:00:27Everyone's impression of my man is extremely important.
00:00:31Maybe the attraction's just not there for me.
00:00:34Juliet questioned her feelings for Joel.
00:00:36That's the two of you rather than all of the noise around you that you need to be focusing on.
00:00:42Hard questions from the experts.
00:00:44Why would you apply a blow torch to pretty much everybody at the dinner party?
00:00:49Saw Beck reveal her insecurity.
00:00:52I'm scared to leave me.
00:00:54And...
00:00:55I'm gonna let you into a secret.
00:00:57You're a very hard person to match.
00:01:00Tyson was reminded just why he was paired with Stephanie in the experiment.
00:01:05Calm, sensible, disciplined, ambitious.
00:01:08We see a highly compatible couple and we just need you to start turning on to that.
00:01:14Tonight...
00:01:19Our couples, families and friends come to visit.
00:01:23Definitely starting to fall for you.
00:01:25I can't be more excited for them.
00:01:27You've got to let your wall down a little bit.
00:01:29Over two big nights, fresh perspective will see some deepen their connections.
00:01:35I do like Rachel.
00:01:36I need to bring these walls down.
00:01:37I need to communicate more.
00:01:39I need to be me.
00:01:40Is Gia a better version of your ex?
00:01:42But for Gia...
00:01:43I feel like I'm a bit at a dinner party right now.
00:01:45I'm getting fired at as usual.
00:01:46Hard hitting questions will leave her frustrated.
00:01:49We're six friends at a table.
00:01:51Are we?
00:01:51I'm not getting that vibe.
00:01:53Do you want to say it or do you want me to say it?
00:01:55You go.
00:01:55You go.
00:01:56Home sweet home.
00:01:57Our three newest couples move in together.
00:02:00Here we go.
00:02:01And Tyson reveals an incredible transformation.
00:02:05I'm in a lot more positive mindset now.
00:02:07John said I do need to be a little bit more curious.
00:02:09I think we do get along on so many levels.
00:02:12I think this is like the next step for us.
00:02:14Caught in the act.
00:02:15A video popped up of you that my friend sent me.
00:02:18What shocking footage has Juliet seen of Joel?
00:02:21Like I'm so icked out.
00:02:23And in a dramatic turn of events...
00:02:26Which participant calls it quits and leaves the experiment?
00:02:40It's the morning after a fiery and emotional commitment ceremony.
00:02:46Where Bec and Danny's relationship and Bec's recent behaviour
00:02:51were questioned by the experts.
00:02:54And groom Danny is alone in the apartment
00:02:57after Bec took off early this morning
00:03:00for some self-reflection and alone time.
00:03:04Last night after the commitment ceremony,
00:03:06me and Bec sort of just drove home in complete silence.
00:03:09And then just got in the room, just went to sleep.
00:03:12That was it.
00:03:12We didn't say one word to each other.
00:03:14It was a bit weird to be honest,
00:03:15but I wasn't really in the mood to talk.
00:03:19Then this morning, Bec said,
00:03:21she sort of needs some space from me and from the experiment.
00:03:25I don't think Bec's a bad person,
00:03:28but it's pretty hard to defend her, to be honest.
00:03:31And even at the commitment ceremony last night,
00:03:34John caught her out on her bad behaviour.
00:03:37After watching you last night essentially apply a blow torch
00:03:42to pretty much everybody at the dinner party.
00:03:45You were setting off grenades, Bec.
00:03:48In terms of getting on the front foot and going after people,
00:03:52going for the throat.
00:03:54What do you think about that?
00:03:56I'm really angry.
00:03:57Who are you angry at, Bec?
00:03:59I'm angry at Gia.
00:04:03I feel that the most beautiful thing you can do
00:04:06when you're in the role is just take accountability.
00:04:09When Bec sort of says,
00:04:12yeah, but, and then she starts to blame other things,
00:04:15I feel that she's not really being accountable for her actions.
00:04:18And it puts me in a really tough situation as a man
00:04:22because obviously I want to protect her
00:04:24and I don't want people to just come at her attacking her.
00:04:27But if you were one of the new couples
00:04:30and you witness a lady who's being venomous,
00:04:33shouting, pointing and swearing,
00:04:36you'd probably look at me as a husband and think,
00:04:38what is he doing with her?
00:04:41And that's two dinner parties.
00:04:42She's acted like this.
00:04:44For me once, shame on you.
00:04:45For me twice, shame on me.
00:04:48It does make me sort of take a back step.
00:04:50It does make me sort of want to hold her at arm's length.
00:04:54And I don't even know how to approach it
00:04:56because Bec's not the best to have any tough conversations with.
00:05:00So, yeah, I feel a bit lost in how to move forward from here.
00:05:08And as Danny contemplates his future with Bec,
00:05:14her recent behaviour is also on the other couple's minds.
00:05:19I don't think Bec is a bad person.
00:05:22She's doing bad things, yes.
00:05:25She's just out of fires everywhere.
00:05:27Like John said, she was just starting spot fires
00:05:30in other people's relationships.
00:05:31But then her and Danny are like sitting there stronger than ever.
00:05:34Well, if that's what stronger than ever looks like,
00:05:37I don't want to aspire to that.
00:05:39Danny's being very quiet.
00:05:41Mm-hmm.
00:05:42And looks pretty, hate to say it, miserable when it's going off.
00:05:46She's going to figure out why she's so angry
00:05:48and like why, why is everyone in the group copping it?
00:05:52Because we're not responsible for your anger, sweetie.
00:06:03After being held accountable by the experts
00:06:06at last night's commitment ceremony,
00:06:09Bec has returned to the apartment.
00:06:14And after a morning of reflection,
00:06:16she has some things to get off her chest.
00:06:20At that commitment ceremony,
00:06:22where I got torn to shreds.
00:06:25Torn to shreds.
00:06:27Mm-hmm.
00:06:28From everyone.
00:06:29Experts.
00:06:30I had John coming at me.
00:06:33It has affected me
00:06:34because I don't know if we're as good as we think we are.
00:06:41You constantly go on about when eating a ride or die,
00:06:44someone that's going to be-
00:06:44I don't constantly say that, Bec.
00:06:46I said it in the heat of the moment.
00:06:48Anyway.
00:06:48And yeah, I said it in my vows.
00:06:49But I don't wake up saying, are you ride or die?
00:06:51No, but you did say it's your name, right,
00:06:54that has been dragged through the mud.
00:06:56Correct.
00:06:57Correct, right.
00:06:58When it was being brought up, it's frustrating for me
00:07:00because of lies being spread about me, correct?
00:07:02Right, okay, so...
00:07:03Right, but you didn't have to go in there
00:07:06and cause Armageddon to protect me.
00:07:07As long as you believe me,
00:07:09I don't really care what no-one else thinks of me
00:07:10because you're my wife.
00:07:13I'm trying my hardest to make this work.
00:07:16I am.
00:07:18So am I.
00:07:18Are you?
00:07:20You know I am.
00:07:21I'm trying so hard.
00:07:23I'm not involved in all the drama.
00:07:25It's not about that.
00:07:26I'm talking about us.
00:07:26But imagine all that energy you put into the drama,
00:07:28imagine if you put it into our relationship.
00:07:30I put every single ounce of energy I have into this relationship.
00:07:33So do I.
00:07:34Every single ounce.
00:07:35So do I.
00:07:35Do you?
00:07:41Every single person at that commitment ceremony was absolutely hammering me.
00:07:46Like, I need a ride or die too.
00:07:49Why am I ride or dying for him but he's not doing it for me?
00:07:53I'm getting frustrated with the whole situation because my name's being dragged through the mud.
00:07:57I never said that stupid comment.
00:07:59With all due respect to Gia, and don't take this the wrong way, I'm covered in tattoos,
00:08:03but I don't go for girls who have got tattoos.
00:08:06Why'd you say it then?
00:08:07I didn't Gia.
00:08:10That comment, the supposed comment of her being my type,
00:08:14is just ridiculous anyway because it's that, like, let's say I did say that,
00:08:19which I didn't categorically, right?
00:08:21I feel like we've got so lost in proving who's right or who's wrong
00:08:26that the comment's actually been forgotten.
00:08:28No, it hasn't.
00:08:29The comment's not forgotten.
00:08:30To be honest.
00:08:31The comment sticks with me all the time.
00:08:33Why though?
00:08:34This is how my brain is working and this is why I'm in such emotional turmoil at the moment
00:08:39and taking it out on everyone else.
00:08:41Because I'm desperately trying to make this relationship work, right?
00:08:46Desperately.
00:08:47I think you are the best.
00:08:50I do.
00:08:51But when do I get compliments?
00:08:53What's our sex life like?
00:08:57The whole sex life thing, yeah, I have pulled back because of your behaviour sometimes.
00:09:01It has made me pull back a little bit.
00:09:04It makes me feel uncomfortable.
00:09:05Like, I'll be honest.
00:09:08When I go through a rough patch in a relationship,
00:09:10I do find it hard to just get up and have sex with someone.
00:09:14It's not what I'm about.
00:09:15It's not just about sex.
00:09:16Like, I need processing time.
00:09:19In my mind, I'm like, well, we had low sexual chemistry to begin with,
00:09:23which means that you probably weren't attracted to me.
00:09:26Did it get better?
00:09:27And then it got better.
00:09:28But like, in my mind, all of these things are going around.
00:09:30And I'm like, am I sitting here with someone that doesn't want to be with me,
00:09:33but he doesn't want to tell me that?
00:09:36I'm scared that you're going to say to me, no, I'm not in for this.
00:09:39Bec, it seems to me that you've just let all these things build up in your head,
00:09:44and now it's become like you've gone to the dinner parties and it's been like Armageddon
00:09:49and you've took it out on other people, and it's such a poor reflection of you.
00:09:54Be honest with me then.
00:09:55Speak to me.
00:09:57Look at what the carnage just caused.
00:09:59Well, we could have just had a conversation about this.
00:10:01I'm not a mind reader.
00:10:02If I was, I'd be a billionaire.
00:10:04I'm just a millionaire.
00:10:06Do you know what you mean?
00:10:08Like, you've got to help me.
00:10:09I know.
00:10:11You know, have conversations.
00:10:12You just haven't got to do it in the way you've been doing it.
00:10:15No.
00:10:15That's all I'm saying.
00:10:16Don't hold bitterness in your chest, because that'll you up more than anything else.
00:10:20Who cares?
00:10:21I mean, I've ruined it anyway.
00:10:22I've got no friends.
00:10:24Bec.
00:10:24Everyone hates me anyway, so...
00:10:26Bec, don't worry about that.
00:10:28I don't.
00:10:28There's nothing I can do.
00:10:30It is what it is.
00:10:33I just...
00:10:34This experiment's not about friends.
00:10:37It's not about Gia.
00:10:38It's not about rumours.
00:10:39It's not about drama.
00:10:40It's about me and you.
00:10:44I finally got out everything that I have been feeling about our relationship to him,
00:10:51finally.
00:10:53You know, finally.
00:10:54I was band-aiding things.
00:10:55And being like, it's great.
00:10:56It's great.
00:10:57Like, I love him.
00:10:57He's great.
00:10:58Blah, blah, blah.
00:10:59But then, like, on the inside, I'm like, why aren't you complimenting me?
00:11:02And it's always referring back to that ridiculous and false comment that Gia said.
00:11:07And I've realised now, today, that actually, like, I've allowed that to play in my mind.
00:11:14I'm just so drained.
00:11:18I need Bec to voice when she's got a problem with me, because she seems to hold them all in.
00:11:22And then they bubble up, and then the relationship all of a sudden is in turmoil, where it didn't have
00:11:26to go that way.
00:11:29As Bec and Danny navigate difficulties in their marriage, three new couples are embarking on a new chapter in theirs.
00:11:40After a week of weddings, honeymoons, a dinner party, and expert advice.
00:11:45Hi.
00:11:46How are you going?
00:11:47Welcome to Montgomery Resort.
00:11:49Today, they're moving in together.
00:11:52You all right?
00:11:54Presidential suite?
00:11:56Oh, fantastic.
00:11:57And being four weeks behind the other couples, they will spend the week receiving a crash course to fast-track
00:12:04their relationship.
00:12:05Oh, we've got a name on the door and everything.
00:12:07Yeah.
00:12:08Wow.
00:12:08That's special.
00:12:11Nice.
00:12:12After you.
00:12:14Wow.
00:12:15Oh, this is nice.
00:12:17Nice.
00:12:18Oh, that's really cute.
00:12:20Yeah, we look the same height, too.
00:12:25While Chris and Sam settle in, across the hall, Stephanie and Tyson are also moving in.
00:12:33Well, this is nice, eh?
00:12:36So nice.
00:12:37And Tyson is beginning this new chapter with a renewed and positive mindset.
00:12:42I essentially woke up this morning and said, I really need to give this a red-hot crack.
00:12:46We do have similar interests in regards to real estate, politics, et cetera.
00:12:50So, I've given myself seven days to really give it my 100% all.
00:12:55And during that seven days, if I can feel some sort of connection or some sort of gut feeling to
00:13:01stay, then I'll definitely stay longer, for sure.
00:13:03Ooh.
00:13:04His new outlook comes off the back of receiving some strong feedback from the experts at last night's commitment ceremony.
00:13:11She's definitely not the submissive type, that's for sure.
00:13:15You're saying, I want to be with someone who will lie down, give up their rights, not try to have
00:13:22their needs met, who will make the relationship all about you and your needs.
00:13:27I'm not saying that.
00:13:29Well, you are.
00:13:30I'm not.
00:13:31You actually are saying that.
00:13:33Okay, but I'm not.
00:13:33You're using the word submissive.
00:13:35I've seen people like you come and go with all these long lists of rigid ideas of what's a perfect
00:13:41match.
00:13:41You stay single.
00:13:43There's no one out there that can ever measure up because you're scared of letting them in.
00:13:47I think that's you.
00:13:52Oh my God, we've got a wedding photo.
00:13:54Oh my God, how embarrassing.
00:13:57How funny.
00:13:58Wow.
00:14:01Jeez, it's like a match made in heaven.
00:14:05I'm in a lot more positive mindset now.
00:14:08Yeah, I need to give this whole thing living together my 100%.
00:14:11This is really good.
00:14:13Just to really see if I can establish some sort of relationship there with Steph.
00:14:19But Steph and I have disagreements regarding the traditional values of like, you know, the husband provides and protects and
00:14:25a woman who wants to, you know, cook and clean.
00:14:30But at the same time, I know I'm not perfect and sometimes I just say silly things.
00:14:36How did you feel about like, Alessandra and Mel pulling you up on this whole submissive thing?
00:14:42Yeah, look, maybe I had it wrong.
00:14:45I'm not too sure.
00:14:45But I always thought submissive was something that obviously brings a lot of emotion to the relationship.
00:14:52But obviously they said it was more of a power and control thing.
00:14:56Yeah.
00:14:56And I want to come across as a power and control freak.
00:14:59Um, because I'm not...
00:15:03At the end of the day, I do have those traditional values.
00:15:05Mm.
00:15:07But in saying that, it's good to talk to the experts.
00:15:09Yeah.
00:15:10And get their advice.
00:15:11Um, it's good talking to John.
00:15:13John seems like a good bloke.
00:15:15It's pretty funny.
00:15:17Like John said, I do need to be a little bit more curious in regards to our relationship.
00:15:21Yeah.
00:15:21So, you know, I'm taking that on board.
00:15:24I really am taking his advice seriously.
00:15:28Um...
00:15:28It was quite funny when we did reflect on the evening.
00:15:32He was like, oh, you know, Johnny, he's a good guy, but he said nothing about the women.
00:15:39I just don't think he has respect for women.
00:15:42Like John said, I want to get to know you more before we do anything rational, you know?
00:15:46So you haven't written me off yet?
00:15:48Even though you said last night that you had?
00:15:49Well, close.
00:15:50We were close last night, but nah, I haven't written you off.
00:15:53So, um, yeah.
00:15:54Well, that's nice to hear.
00:15:55Yeah.
00:15:55I really, really hope that he does take this stuff on board.
00:15:59I really want to see, like, a softer side to him.
00:16:01I know it's there.
00:16:02I know it exists.
00:16:04Hmm.
00:16:05And I hope I get to see that.
00:16:07I don't know if I will get to see that.
00:16:10But I hope I do.
00:16:12Down the hall, newlyweds Juliet and Joel have officially moved in.
00:16:18But despite Juliet's vow to build on her attraction to her husband at last night's commitment ceremony...
00:16:25The more I get to know Joel, the more I'll probably gain attraction to him for sure.
00:16:30And I'm patiently waiting for her to grow that attraction to warm to me.
00:16:34I'm waiting.
00:16:35Okay.
00:16:36Take as long as you need, babe.
00:16:37Okay.
00:16:38The mood has taken a dramatic turn.
00:16:43How you feeling?
00:16:44Yeah.
00:16:45I'm okay.
00:16:46Yeah?
00:16:47What are you upset about?
00:16:50Um...
00:16:54A video popped up of you that my friend sent me.
00:16:57What video?
00:17:02Um...
00:17:03You playing the drums with dildos.
00:17:08I woke up this morning to my friend sending me a link to Joel's YouTube channel of him playing...
00:17:18Um...
00:17:19The drums with two dildos.
00:17:22I can't help just feeling embarrassed.
00:17:25And that bothers you?
00:17:27It was a bit weird.
00:17:28I'll say.
00:17:30It's just a bit of harmless humor.
00:17:33I'm using dildos as drumsticks.
00:17:35I'm using dildos as drumsticks.
00:17:35I'm just having a bit of fun.
00:17:36I just don't think that's like a classy act to be posting on YouTube.
00:17:41I just think we're completely different people.
00:17:45That's kind of pushed me over the edge of whether or not I find Joel attractive.
00:17:50Because it was so theatrical and performative.
00:17:53And that's what I saw at our wedding.
00:17:57One thing about me is that I have an insatiable appetite.
00:18:00Not just for food, but for life.
00:18:02For love.
00:18:03And of course, for my life.
00:18:05Yes.
00:18:08Through highs and lows, my loyalty will remain as strong as my B.O. after a Barry's class.
00:18:17I think I was right about him all along.
00:18:19And now I'm icked out.
00:18:21Like I'm so icked out.
00:18:27That sense of humor may not align with you.
00:18:29But at the end of the day, it's a harmless video that doesn't hurt any person at all.
00:18:33I didn't say it hurt anyone.
00:18:34I just said that's an example of probably where we're different.
00:18:37Because like for me, that was a bit weird to witness.
00:18:40And the facial expressions you were doing in it as well was a bit odd.
00:18:43And like all of that was a bit wiggy.
00:18:46It was so wiggy.
00:18:48Yeah.
00:18:49Today has taken a turn for the worse.
00:18:51It's been a dramatic turn of events between me and Juliet.
00:18:54After last night's commitment ceremony, we seemed like we were aligned.
00:18:58But today she blew up at me over my drumming video.
00:19:02Like you're not definitely the type of people that I usually hang out with.
00:19:08She's definitely like hitting me below the belt.
00:19:12It's just a joke.
00:19:13It's a, it's slapstick comedy.
00:19:16That's what the video is.
00:19:17I felt like definitely embarrassed that my friends had to say, is this your husband?
00:19:25Like these are the things that I'm finding out that are pushing me further and further away for sure.
00:19:32This is the new side that I've seen from Juliet.
00:19:35And I am shocked.
00:19:37I'm blindsided.
00:19:38And I'm upset.
00:19:48It's daybreak and our newest couples are waking up for the first time together in their own apartments.
00:19:57It's a high frequency snore you've got to come.
00:20:00It's a strong snore.
00:20:03Down the hall, Tyson is actioning some sound advice he received from the experts.
00:20:11Here you go.
00:20:13Beautiful tea for a beautiful girl.
00:20:15And he's decided to pull out all the stops for his new bride, Stephanie.
00:20:20How's that coffee?
00:20:21It's a tea.
00:20:22Oh sorry, it's tea.
00:20:23And it's not too bad.
00:20:25What's the difference between tea and coffee?
00:20:30Well they're two completely different things.
00:20:32I'm just not a tea or coffee drink, right?
00:20:35But...
00:20:36I think I appreciate you making a cup of tea though.
00:20:38That's very kind.
00:20:38It's the effort though, right?
00:20:39Yeah, absolutely.
00:20:40Yeah.
00:20:41As Stephanie begins to soften towards her new husband...
00:20:46Across the hall, it's a different story.
00:20:50After the discovery of a video which put Joel's drumming skills in the spotlight, Juliet has
00:20:56pulled back from Joel, leaving him at a loss of how to make his new bride happy.
00:21:03But undeterred, Joel is eager to get them back on track.
00:21:07So, do you think we should go to Woolies and get some things for the apartment today?
00:21:11No, you just do your stuff, I'll do my stuff.
00:21:16Yeah, you don't want to go shopping with me and we can enjoy each other's company?
00:21:20With groceries and stuff we eat different food, you just do your thing.
00:21:23Yeah.
00:21:26This morning I hoped Juliet would be in a better mood, but it seems like she is not.
00:21:33I can make you breakfast tomorrow morning if you like scrambled eggs.
00:21:38Scrambled eggs on toast, Julesy?
00:21:42I want to try and just have, like, a joyful time together.
00:21:47But she's been more moody than pleasant.
00:21:51Um, hmm.
00:21:53Maybe we can watch a movie tonight or something?
00:21:54Like, want to watch a movie?
00:21:58Not a movie kind of girl.
00:21:59Not a movie?
00:22:00Yeah.
00:22:02With Juliet and Joel unable to move past first gear...
00:22:06I'm excited!
00:22:07Our original couples are getting ready for one of the most important phases of the experiment.
00:22:13You ready to handle the grilling if you get a grilling?
00:22:15I love a grilling.
00:22:16Family and friends week.
00:22:18This week, it's the perfect time for our original couples to take stock of their relationships
00:22:24as they meet each other's friends and family.
00:22:27This next to the dip, I'll put this one over here.
00:22:29Okay.
00:22:30Meeting each other's family and friends is an important relationship milestone for any new couple.
00:22:35Big J-shave, we're going to get some outside perspective.
00:22:38The aim is that the more casual setting will encourage their friends and family to really dig deep,
00:22:43ask those probing questions and give some guidance for the rest of the experiment.
00:22:54One of the strongest couples in the experiment, Gia and Scott, are getting ready to receive a visit from their
00:23:01loved ones.
00:23:03Wow.
00:23:04You made these platters.
00:23:06Yep.
00:23:06Big day today.
00:23:08It's like a perfect layout.
00:23:09You've done well.
00:23:10I haven't seen my mum or Will in over a month since the wedding.
00:23:14So, I just can't wait to see them and reunite with them.
00:23:17Oh, gosh.
00:23:18What are you nervous about?
00:23:19Nothing.
00:23:21You are.
00:23:22I'm not.
00:23:23No, I'm not.
00:23:23I'm not.
00:23:24What about?
00:23:25What do you think is going to happen?
00:23:26Are you going to grill you?
00:23:28I'm not really nervous about today, to be honest.
00:23:30I think because we had such a good wedding and everyone kind of got along and I think he got
00:23:34the approval already of my mum.
00:23:35Do you think it's going to be too hard of a day?
00:23:43Gia hasn't seen her mum and best friend, Will, since her wedding day, where emotions were running high.
00:23:49Me and my dear bestie girl, Gia.
00:23:53Um...
00:23:54Sorry, I just had a flashback from the wedding.
00:23:56It was so f***ed up.
00:23:58You're pissing me off, seriously.
00:24:00Oh, here we go, you f***ed drama queen.
00:24:02Does she think this is my first rodeo?
00:24:05Does she think that this is the first bridezilla I've ever had to deal with?
00:24:08Hello?
00:24:09Chill out, diva.
00:24:11Like, you're not Mariah Carey.
00:24:13Sit down.
00:24:18Aw.
00:24:19I love you too.
00:24:22Love you.
00:24:22Don't be a drama queen today, I love you so much, but don't.
00:24:25Okay.
00:24:26She is so headstrong.
00:24:28You know, she wouldn't apologise to me when I felt she was in the wrong.
00:24:31And then I was like, well, I'm not apologising.
00:24:33And then I realised that I was like, this is her wedding day and she's marrying a strange apple.
00:24:38Get on board, Gia.
00:24:39You better get on board.
00:24:40Oh my God!
00:24:43Yay!
00:24:45Bitch!
00:24:47Bitch!
00:24:48Bitch!
00:24:50Bitch!
00:24:50So, look, it's like best friend code.
00:24:54We know her the best, so I think I'll be straight up, I'll be really honest.
00:24:58We're nosy bitches.
00:24:59We want to know everything.
00:25:00I want the tea.
00:25:01We want the tea.
00:25:02We just want to know.
00:25:03Is this like, she's head over heels?
00:25:06Like, we don't know.
00:25:07We haven't seen them.
00:25:08So this is where the magic happens, guys.
00:25:09Wow, this is cute.
00:25:10Well there, that room over there.
00:25:12Oh, really?
00:25:13Alright, too much information.
00:25:14I'm just here.
00:25:16Oh, hold up.
00:25:17Scotty!
00:25:19And from the Gold Coast are Scott's closest friends, Paige and Matt.
00:25:24How are you, bro?
00:25:25Good, bro.
00:25:26Oh, I've known Scotty for years now.
00:25:28He's literally like a brother to me.
00:25:30And we loved Gia.
00:25:31Yeah.
00:25:32But we are protective of Scott.
00:25:35Oh, well, so we're all together.
00:25:38Hello!
00:25:38It's been five weeks.
00:25:39It's been five weeks.
00:25:40Isn't this nice?
00:25:41Six friends at a table.
00:25:44Just a casual Sunday.
00:25:48So how's it all going, guys?
00:25:49I think we've, you know, like, we've been matched for a reason.
00:25:53There's so many things we align on that we're like, oh my God, so weird.
00:25:57But yeah, like, I think it's going pretty well.
00:26:00Yeah, I've never seen you like this before.
00:26:03Like, you're so, like, you're comfortable.
00:26:05Like, you're happy.
00:26:06Well, we are the strongest couple here.
00:26:09Yeah.
00:26:10Well, I asked Gia to be my girlfriend on the weekend.
00:26:12So it's like...
00:26:13Hey!
00:26:14Daddy boy!
00:26:15Oh, my God!
00:26:17Thank you!
00:26:18We love that.
00:26:20We love that.
00:26:20Call us hopeless romantic.
00:26:22Yeah.
00:26:22We love a good love story.
00:26:24Yeah, we love a good love story.
00:26:26Oh, my God.
00:26:26And he's so pretty.
00:26:28Like, he's so hot.
00:26:30I love them together.
00:26:30I love them together.
00:26:31I love them together.
00:26:31Scotty, you're going red.
00:26:33I was like, that's just the tan.
00:26:35How about the drinking side of things?
00:26:37Like, do you find that Gia drinks more than what you want to drink, or...?
00:26:42Well, I don't drink, so...
00:26:44Is that a problem for you, Gia?
00:26:46Initially, yeah, I was like, this is boring, because, like, I don't want to be drinking
00:26:50by myself.
00:26:51We're exactly the same in terms of, like, we both go to...
00:26:55Like, you'll know from home, I light-mode my phone at 8pm and I'm in bed before anyone
00:26:58else.
00:26:59Like, no-one can reach me.
00:27:00We have the same thing.
00:27:01It's the same thing.
00:27:03If there's one thing you could say as to why it wouldn't work between you, what would
00:27:07it be?
00:27:07You can be honest.
00:27:10Just, the only way it wouldn't work is if Gia thinks I wouldn't be, like, good enough
00:27:14to be a father for with your daughter.
00:27:17It's all good to be, like, on FaceTime with her and, like, she likes him a lot.
00:27:20She does.
00:27:21Like, but I think, you know, I need to see what he's like with her and how they interact.
00:27:26And I need her to be comfortable.
00:27:27I want him to feel comfortable.
00:27:29I guess my concern would be, how is it going to work on the outside doing long distance?
00:27:34And how long are you going to be doing long distance for?
00:27:37Yeah, I feel like we've had a lot of talks about it.
00:27:40And I think, I was on the Gold Coast before I came back to Melbourne.
00:27:43Like, it makes more sense to us, for us to be there, you know?
00:27:47Will you be bringing your daughter up though?
00:27:49Because I think, or just when Scotty goes down to Melbourne, like, how will that work?
00:27:54I don't know.
00:27:54We haven't really talked about that.
00:27:56Um, I think she'd probably come more than maybe once.
00:27:59I'd go by myself.
00:28:00But I feel like he needs to be around her enough for me to see that this would work.
00:28:04Do you want Scotty to be like a full-blown father figure or more like a friend figure?
00:28:10Father figure.
00:28:11What's going on?
00:28:13Matt and Paige were firing questions non-stop.
00:28:16If you were going to come from Balwin up to the Gold Coast for maybe a week and leave your
00:28:21daughter at home, like, what would she be doing?
00:28:23She'd be with me.
00:28:23Yeah, with you.
00:28:24Yeah, with my mum.
00:28:24She's right now.
00:28:25She's with me.
00:28:26They're like, they came in with a bit of an agenda.
00:28:30Scotty, is Gia a better version of your ex?
00:28:38I'm sorry?
00:28:41Don't compare me to his ex, my friend.
00:28:47If you want to be controversial, I'll give it back because that's what I'm like.
00:28:51I don't think you can compare because I would never start an OnlyFans and put that out there for $8.
00:28:57So there's the comparison there.
00:28:59I feel like I'm a wife.
00:29:11Is Gia a better version of your ex?
00:29:17I'm sorry?
00:29:19That was a bit, um, full on.
00:29:23I can't believe he said that.
00:29:25How do you compare to his ex?
00:29:27Like, what the **** is going on?
00:29:33Do you want to say it or do you want me to say it?
00:29:35You go, you go.
00:29:37I feel like Matt's questions were horrible.
00:29:40He came in very hot.
00:29:43I felt like she was being pinned up against the wall.
00:29:47We're her people and we're on her side.
00:29:50I'll say this, um, if you want to be controversial, I'll give it back because that's what I'm like.
00:29:56I don't think you can compare because I would never start an OnlyFans and put that out there for $8.
00:30:02So there's the comparison there.
00:30:04I feel like I'm a wife.
00:30:05I haven't slept with a bunch of people.
00:30:08He's from the Gold Coast.
00:30:09I obviously grew up on the Gold Coast.
00:30:10And he said, I wanted a girl that, like, someone I know hasn't slept with.
00:30:14He's not going to find anyone who's slept with me.
00:30:18So you are a better version.
00:30:21I would compare, yeah.
00:30:23Well, she doesn't have to compete with anybody.
00:30:25She's their own person.
00:30:26Um, no.
00:30:26But do you still have contact with her?
00:30:29You don't?
00:30:29No, whatsoever.
00:30:30Okay.
00:30:30I've removed on social media everything.
00:30:32Okay.
00:30:33I would never talk to an ex.
00:30:35You know, like, it's not appropriate for you to, like, keep talking.
00:30:38Of course.
00:30:38Well, you've had sex with her once upon a time.
00:30:40So, like, there was something at one point.
00:30:42We're six friends at a table.
00:30:44We're six friends at a table.
00:30:45Yeah, no, no.
00:30:45It's just more like...
00:30:46Are we?
00:30:46I'm not getting that vibe, guys.
00:30:47What the f*** is going on?
00:30:48I'm not getting the vibe that we're all friends.
00:30:53It's a bit different to what I expected, but anyway.
00:30:55What?
00:30:55I feel like I'm a bit at a dinner party right now.
00:30:57I'm getting fired at, as usual.
00:30:58No, you're not getting fired at.
00:30:59Good night.
00:31:01Matthew's a bit of a class clown sometimes.
00:31:02He would just say things out of context, out of nowhere,
00:31:05without even delivering it right, like...
00:31:07So, sometimes I don't take matters serious.
00:31:09Never.
00:31:09Oh, gosh.
00:31:12I'm really disappointed with Scott.
00:31:14Like, the ex talk.
00:31:15His friends were, like, firing questions.
00:31:17And coming at me, coming at me, coming at me non-stop.
00:31:21And Scott just sat there, didn't engage.
00:31:23It's disrespectful to me.
00:31:25He needs to back me.
00:31:27You guys were very quiet.
00:31:29I couldn't get a word in.
00:31:30I thought you guys were going to...
00:31:30I couldn't get a word in, Tal.
00:31:31They were, like...
00:31:32It was, like, a bit...
00:31:34I wasn't expecting that.
00:31:36Neither was I.
00:31:37I get his vibe now.
00:31:38He's a smart-ass shit-stirrer.
00:31:41It's giving, like, mmm, energy.
00:31:43Um...
00:31:44I was shocked, like, why the f*** is the ex brought up?
00:31:47Like...
00:31:47Yeah.
00:31:48I didn't like that.
00:31:48Don't compare me to his ex-girlfriend.
00:31:51No.
00:31:51She's $8.50 on OnlyFans.
00:31:53We're not talking about that.
00:31:53Yeah, sorry, I'm not on that level.
00:31:55No, darling.
00:31:55I'm like, what's going on?
00:31:59Look, I think he's just a sarcastic person, I think.
00:32:02Yeah.
00:32:02Don't take it to heart.
00:32:03It's hard because, like, I'm thinking about the wedding
00:32:05and he was so heartfelt and lovely.
00:32:08Yeah, so I was like...
00:32:09That's what I'm saying.
00:32:10Don't try not to take it to heart.
00:32:11I wanted to ask serious shit, not,
00:32:13oh, how do you compare her to your ex-girlfriend?
00:32:15That's irrelevant.
00:32:16They're an ex for a reason.
00:32:17Exactly.
00:32:18You're not with her anymore, so who cares?
00:32:19That's not a question that needs to be brought up.
00:32:21Like, I'm not jealous, but it's like...
00:32:23Like, no.
00:32:24No, darling.
00:32:24No.
00:32:24You know?
00:32:25She doesn't get jealous.
00:32:27She's territorial.
00:32:28She'll piss in every corner.
00:32:31But she's not a jealous person at all.
00:32:33Look at her.
00:32:34What would you be jealous of?
00:32:35She's not jealous.
00:32:36No.
00:32:36Alright.
00:32:37Let's go.
00:32:38Shall we?
00:32:41Love you.
00:32:42Bye.
00:32:44Bye.
00:32:46Bye.
00:32:46Bye.
00:32:47Bye.
00:32:47See you, brother.
00:32:48Bye-bye.
00:32:48See you.
00:32:52Um...
00:32:53I think it was good.
00:32:55It was like, I don't know, just getting outside point of views and what they think about
00:33:02our relationship and what to do moving forward.
00:33:05How do you think about it?
00:33:07I think Matt was very full on.
00:33:08I was not expecting Matt to be, like, firing at me like that.
00:33:12Like, talking about the ex and that.
00:33:13I'm like, well, I don't know why that's relevant.
00:33:15I don't know.
00:33:16I don't know why the ex comment was relevant, to be honest.
00:33:18Like...
00:33:19I think it's just more because he's, like, they're just covering everything about our past
00:33:23and if it was just a question or feel, don't take anything personal or anything like that.
00:33:28Comparing me to an ex was a bit, um, inappropriate.
00:33:31Like, I think...
00:33:32I think it's a bit yuck.
00:33:34Yeah, I think Matt and Paige were definitely trying to find the cracks today
00:33:37and find something wrong with our relationship.
00:33:39I felt a little bit attacked today.
00:33:41And Scott did nothing.
00:33:43Every question that was asked was quite valid, like...
00:33:45Really?
00:33:46Don't agree with that.
00:33:48I think it was good.
00:33:50Like, honestly, he needs to back me.
00:33:53It's really important for me that I have a partner that will back me up in situations.
00:33:57We will probably have more conversations about this later tonight.
00:34:03Coming up...
00:34:04Well, I'll just rewind back a bit.
00:34:05How do we know it didn't happen?
00:34:07Bec's dad wants answers on whether Danny told Gia she was more his type.
00:34:13Why would they pick you out to say that?
00:34:16Is that true?
00:34:25Mum is very, um, cautious about the life I live at the moment.
00:34:32You just kind of take it.
00:34:33She's a mum.
00:34:34She's gonna nag and put a bit of pressure on.
00:34:36She loves to say the sort of,
00:34:38serve you found full-time work.
00:34:41Are you working towards getting full-time work?
00:34:44How does that look?
00:34:45And I understand her.
00:34:46I believe her when she says,
00:34:48look, you need to find a, you know, stable career.
00:34:50You need to lock in a job and do this.
00:34:53And I do believe that she's telling the truth.
00:34:55Well, some of the times have changed.
00:34:56I think there's so much more out there to do now
00:34:59that I don't necessarily have to lock it in,
00:35:02as she's sort of suggested, and come back.
00:35:04She still thinks I'm only here for a few more months.
00:35:07She doesn't actually know that I've decided to sort of kick on here a bit longer.
00:35:11Um, so that conversation will be interesting.
00:35:15But it seems to be working out so far, so I'm not complaining.
00:35:25Do you want a glass?
00:35:27Ah, yes, please.
00:35:28I have to do a shop after this.
00:35:30We're running a bit longer.
00:35:31With Stephanie and Tyson beginning to settle into their domestic life
00:35:35after a bumpy start to the experiment...
00:35:40It's time for their next challenge.
00:35:43You've got mail.
00:35:44We knew this was coming.
00:35:46How exciting.
00:35:47The start of their Crash Course Week.
00:35:50Crash Course Week is designed to fast track our newest couple's relationships
00:35:55with a series of tasks aimed at helping them to open up
00:35:59and be vulnerable with each other.
00:36:00Stephanie and Tyson, physical intimacy can take time.
00:36:04However, sometimes there is power in taking small steps to deepen a connection.
00:36:09This task invites you to build trust and grow physical connection,
00:36:12partaking in small steps through the eyes and the body.
00:36:16to take your time with each step.
00:36:19This sequence is about building closeness layer by layer.
00:36:22So, where Steph and I are at intimately, um,
00:36:25we're definitely getting along a lot better.
00:36:27And, uh, Steph and I do connect on a lot of levels.
00:36:30Um, but yeah, there's no kissing, there's no touching.
00:36:35So, just, um, I wanted to go head first into it
00:36:38and just see if it would make us closer.
00:36:40What are your thoughts regarding the eye gaze for three minutes?
00:36:43I feel like three long three minutes.
00:36:45I know, I know.
00:36:46We'll definitely have to set a timer.
00:36:48Yeah.
00:36:48Maybe we can just set it for two minutes.
00:36:49Nah.
00:36:50We'll do three minutes.
00:36:51But, um...
00:36:52I think it's gonna be weird.
00:36:54A little bit.
00:36:56The prospect of staring into Tyson's eyes for three uninterrupted minutes,
00:37:01it's just uncomfortable.
00:37:02It's not something, like, that we've kind of done in that way,
00:37:06like we have looked into each other's eyes,
00:37:09but most of the time it's been fought with, like, you know, anger
00:37:12and, like, fury.
00:37:15Three minutes.
00:37:16You ready?
00:37:17Yeah.
00:37:17Alright, let's go.
00:37:28So weird.
00:37:44Thank you, Tia.
00:37:48Tyson has nice eyes, and I was thinking about his nice eyes.
00:37:52I kept seeing him smile, which was nice.
00:37:57I felt a little bit closer to him in that moment.
00:38:02I feel like everyone's got a soul,
00:38:04and, um, I was really trying to get in there just to see what I could see.
00:38:07And, you know, even just looking into her eyes for that three minutes,
00:38:10so I can tell, you know, she's a beautiful person, she's got a beautiful heart.
00:38:18Well, our three minutes is up.
00:38:20How'd you feel?
00:38:22It was nice.
00:38:23Hmm.
00:38:25So you've got nice eyes.
00:38:26Thank you, you too.
00:38:27It was an interesting little task.
00:38:29It's really nice seeing you smile.
00:38:31Hmm.
00:38:31Oh, thank you.
00:38:32I do smile a lot, but, you know, as we know,
00:38:36the last couple of weeks has been a rollercoaster for us.
00:38:38But one thing's for sure, you've got beautiful eyes,
00:38:41and, um, yeah.
00:38:43It was, um, it was good.
00:38:48Thank God it's not whips and chains and whipped cream.
00:38:51I was waiting for that.
00:38:54I think secretly you want that too, Stan.
00:38:56I absolutely do, honey, you know.
00:38:58Mmm.
00:38:58You just know me so well.
00:39:00And how do you like to hug?
00:39:03Isn't the only way, like, one way of hugging?
00:39:05Like, you just get up and hug?
00:39:08Yeah, I guess.
00:39:10It's going to be a good hug.
00:39:11Yeah?
00:39:11Quite frankly, people would be jealous.
00:39:13So, let's, um, so let's time it,
00:39:17and we'll stand, what do you reckon, stand up?
00:39:19Well, we're not going to sit down and hug, you freak.
00:39:21Because it's going to be a bit odd, eh?
00:39:23But do you like, like, when I go over the top,
00:39:25or do you like underneath?
00:39:26I like to go over the top.
00:39:27Okay.
00:39:28Yeah.
00:39:29Alright.
00:39:30It's probably a bit masculine.
00:39:31Bring it in.
00:39:32Bring it in.
00:39:32I love you.
00:39:34I love you.
00:39:49He's a good hugger, and like, I just fit,
00:39:51I fit so nicely into, like, his, into his embrace.
00:40:08I enjoy hugging Tyson.
00:40:10It's nice.
00:40:12I like how I just kind of fit into, like, your embrace really nicely.
00:40:16Mm.
00:40:17No, it was a good, it was a good hug.
00:40:18Mm.
00:40:19Yeah, it was like a 10 out of 10 hug.
00:40:20So, um, mm, I could feel your, your fingers moving on my back.
00:40:24I'm like, oof, I could stand here for another three minutes.
00:40:29Um.
00:40:29I'm always thinking of you, man.
00:40:31Yeah.
00:40:31Oh, thank you, Steph.
00:40:33I, yeah, I appreciate that.
00:40:34I felt like he enjoyed it.
00:40:36I felt like he eased into it.
00:40:37I gave him, like, little back scratches, and I knew he would enjoy that.
00:40:41So, I wanted to just, like, show a bit of an affectionate side of me.
00:40:45I think it brought us a little bit closer for sure.
00:40:48Just, just gotta take this slow and just see where it ends up.
00:40:51Mm.
00:40:52That's all we can do.
00:40:52Yeah.
00:40:54But progress is progress.
00:40:55So, we're making progress in a real circuit.
00:40:58Progress is progress, baby.
00:40:59Come on.
00:41:00Let's go.
00:41:01Yeah.
00:41:01Yeah.
00:41:02No, it feels good.
00:41:03I'm excited.
00:41:04I'm excited to see us continue to progress.
00:41:07Mm-hmm.
00:41:08I would hope that Tyson is starting to feel a little more physically attracted to me.
00:41:14You know, I think we'd look great together.
00:41:16And I think we do get along on so many levels.
00:41:19I think this is, like, the next step for us.
00:41:21Do you love me all of a sudden?
00:41:22Yeah.
00:41:23Yeah.
00:41:25I can clearly see that.
00:41:29Yeah.
00:41:30Coming up.
00:41:31Juliet and Joel go from bad to worse.
00:41:35What I need more from you is space.
00:41:41There's, um, yeah, there's something that I want to tell you.
00:41:44It's Chris's moment of truth.
00:41:46I wanted you to, like, get to know me a bit first, um, before I told you.
00:41:50I can feel my nerves start to come on because I knew that Sam was going to find out.
00:41:53So, I'm just going to rip the bandaid off and do it.
00:41:54Um, so, I...
00:41:57And later, one participant dramatically walks out.
00:42:15This week, our newest couples are taking part in a crash course designed to expedite their progress in the experiment.
00:42:24Chris and Sam.
00:42:26That's us.
00:42:27Hi.
00:42:28Hello.
00:42:28How you doing?
00:42:29On their wedding day, the pair hit it off instantly with almost identical vows.
00:42:35I still want my happily ever after, and I really hope it's with you.
00:42:38Here's to hopefully being happily ever after.
00:42:41Yours, Sam.
00:42:42And at the first commitment ceremony, their chemistry was on full display.
00:42:47Every day, it's just getting better and better.
00:42:49Yeah.
00:42:49Every day, we are a little bit more touchy and a little bit closer.
00:42:52And, like...
00:42:54And now they'll be participating in their first crash course task, the audition video.
00:43:01Before you married a stranger, you each went through an intense selection process, revealing raw, unfiltered truths about your life,
00:43:09your values, and what you wanted in a partner.
00:43:12This year, in your crash course, we are doing things differently.
00:43:16You won't be watching your own audition video.
00:43:20Instead, you'll be watching only your partner's audition video on your own.
00:43:24Oh, my God.
00:43:25What the actual is happening?
00:43:27I'm reading the letter, and I can feel my nerves start to come on because I do know that I
00:43:32mentioned becoming a father and my children in my audition video.
00:43:37I really want to have children, and I'm on a wait list for a surrogate, which is happening at the
00:43:42end of the year, which will be my...
00:43:45..my child, but with an egg donor.
00:43:47Um, I've just donated my sperm to one of my best friends, who's a lesbian.
00:43:52Yeah, her and her partner, so she's pregnant.
00:43:55So the two children will be related by me, but different biological mothers.
00:44:00And because, obviously, this child will mean everything to me, so, um, yeah, if they're...if they're not kid-friendly, or
00:44:07they don't want to do that, it's probably like a deal-breaker.
00:44:13Okay. Wow.
00:44:15Chris has kept quiet about his children since the topic awkwardly came up at the couple's wedding.
00:44:22Oh, like, if you wanted kids next year, I don't think that would be something that I would be ready
00:44:26for just yet.
00:44:27Right.
00:44:27It's a little bit disheartening, it's a little bit sad, to be honest.
00:44:32And when an opportunity to tell Sam the news arose during their honeymoon, Chris still had trepidation about telling his
00:44:39new husband.
00:44:41What is one important thing I should know about you? Chris?
00:44:44Do I have something important to tell Sam?
00:44:47I do.
00:44:49There is something that I want to tell you.
00:44:51It's like a toll that I've, um...
00:44:53No. I've got a weight on my shoulders.
00:44:55Yeah, yeah.
00:44:55Yeah.
00:44:58Um...
00:44:59I'm not going to answer that question just yet.
00:45:02Yeah.
00:45:06I was, um, for lack of a better word, shitting myself, because I knew that Sam was going to find
00:45:10out by watching my video.
00:45:13I wonder if they'll show you when I spoke to John or when I spoke to Mel, or if you
00:45:16get to see both.
00:45:17Yeah.
00:45:18The highlights of it, probably.
00:45:19I feel good about this task.
00:45:21I've been really open, yeah.
00:45:23Uh, I don't think I've said anything that I'm trying to hide.
00:45:27I am 100% open with my answers to him.
00:45:30And I think Chris has been really honest with me, as well.
00:45:33I feel there's just a lot of vulnerability, and we just talk, and...
00:45:37You can tell when someone's hiding something, you know?
00:45:39Like, you can see it all over their face.
00:45:41Ah!
00:45:42I'm excited.
00:45:43Okay.
00:45:44I like this one.
00:45:49I do really like Sam, and I'm really loving getting to know him.
00:45:54You know, he's only just met me, uh, a week, just over a week ago.
00:45:59And he did say that when I'm closer to 40, I would think about kids, but it's not on my
00:46:03agenda for the next year.
00:46:06There's a worry that that might be a burden, you know?
00:46:09Like, it's not just one kid, it's two.
00:46:11I do feel like that could be maybe a bit of a deal-breaker for him.
00:46:15And, um, yeah, it could potentially change the situation or the dynamic with him.
00:46:22You good?
00:46:23Mm-hmm.
00:46:30I haven't really had time to prepare.
00:46:31What I want to say, regardless, I would rather him hear it from my mouth.
00:46:38I've decided I'm gonna completely open up and be vulnerable and tell him.
00:46:45Okay, so if you're gonna watch my audition video, there's, um, yeah, there's something that I wanna tell you.
00:46:49Okay.
00:46:51Um, I just want you to, yeah, do you wanna take a seat?
00:46:54Sure.
00:46:57Um, yeah, so obviously I wanted you to, like, get to know me a bit first, um, before I told
00:47:01you.
00:47:03Yeah.
00:47:03But you're probably gonna see it anyway, so I want to tell you myself.
00:47:08Yeah.
00:47:09Um, so I'm just gonna rip the band-aid off and do it.
00:47:13Um, so I am going to be a, um, dad.
00:47:25Um, yeah, so obviously I wanted you to, like, get to know me a bit first.
00:47:43Um, that's awesome.
00:47:45Um, so I'm just gonna rip the band-aid off and do it.
00:47:47Um, so I am going to be a, um, dad.
00:47:52A donor dad.
00:47:53A donor dad.
00:47:56Um.
00:47:58Yeah.
00:47:59Congratulations.
00:47:59That's awesome.
00:48:01Um, yeah.
00:48:03So cool.
00:48:04Yeah.
00:48:04I think it's great news.
00:48:06Obviously, in the moment, it was a bit of a shock.
00:48:08I didn't know what he was gonna say, but I'm really happy for him.
00:48:13There'll be a little mini-me running around, so obviously it's with a really good friend of mine who I've
00:48:16been friends with for, like, 18 years.
00:48:18Yeah.
00:48:19Awesome.
00:48:19That's so good you can do that.
00:48:20So I've got a daughter due.
00:48:21I'm not too far away.
00:48:23Um.
00:48:23And are you guys gonna raise this kid together?
00:48:26The daughter will be living with her full-time.
00:48:28Yeah.
00:48:28But I will be, like, I will be known as the father.
00:48:31I completely understand, like, why he's doing this wonderful thing.
00:48:35There's a lovely lesbian couple that I'm good friends with, and they've always alluded to me being a donor for
00:48:40them one day,
00:48:41and me being, you know, a father to them, but the kid would be with them pretty much full-time.
00:48:45So I completely understand why he's being a donor.
00:48:49So that's the first part of the news, and then the second part of the news is I'm also having
00:48:53a child of my own.
00:48:55Yep.
00:48:55Ah, yeah.
00:48:56Okay.
00:48:59Look, this surrogate will be pregnant in probably about four or five weeks, so I will have a child in
00:49:04roughly about 10 or 11 months.
00:49:09That's so exciting.
00:49:10Yeah.
00:49:12I'm super proud of it.
00:49:13I've always wanted to be a father.
00:49:14Yeah.
00:49:15I just feel like, you know, um, as I got a little bit older, I just felt like there was
00:49:19a part of me that was missing.
00:49:20Yeah.
00:49:20And, um, that was having children.
00:49:24As a gay person, it can be really hard to work out the right way to have a child and
00:49:30to be able to go through that journey and got to this stage where he's gonna have a kid that's
00:49:36awesome.
00:49:36It's not gonna, like, affect me wanting to, like, date you or be with you.
00:49:40Yeah.
00:49:40I mean, something that you know about me is that I do want kids at some point.
00:49:45Um, and I've also said if I got closer to the age of 40, it would be something that I
00:49:49would take into my own hands and do it, which is exactly, like, what you're doing.
00:49:53Um, and I think it's awesome that you've found a way.
00:49:56Yeah.
00:49:56I just wanted you to hear it from me, and I just feel like, you know, in the real world,
00:50:00I wouldn't really know when the right or wrong time is to tell someone.
00:50:03Yeah.
00:50:03Um, and I didn't, I just wanted in this experiment with you to hang out with you a little bit
00:50:08more and, you know, just build that emotional connection before I told you this news.
00:50:12Yeah.
00:50:12Um, but it's not gonna affect anything for me, like, this process, like.
00:50:17Yeah.
00:50:18I'm actually feeling quite relieved that that weight is finally off my shoulders.
00:50:22The good news is you still have, like, ten months with me on my own.
00:50:26Being a father is the most important and special thing that I'm ever going to do in my life.
00:50:33Congratulations.
00:50:33Today I'm just feeling really proud to be a dad and a husband.
00:50:36I'm so glad that I told him and it turned out really well.
00:50:39It felt amazing and that's what I wanted.
00:50:42That's what I wanted.
00:50:43Yeah.
00:50:43I really don't know why I was putting so much stress on her in the end.
00:50:46Um, and I should have known Sam would have taken it pretty well because he's such a sweet guy.
00:50:51As Crash Course Week brings about a closer connection for Chris and Sam.
00:50:55Our original couples are continuing to meet with their family and friends.
00:51:02For Bec and Danny, reuniting with their loved ones has come at a pivotal time.
00:51:08Yesterday we were in some rocky waters.
00:51:10Yesterday we were in some rocky waters.
00:51:37We sat and talked for hours.
00:51:37We were in some way, like, a relationship.
00:51:38Do I see a future with Bec?
00:51:40They're probably going to ask all the tough questions.
00:51:42But it's probably actually come at a good time to be honest.
00:51:45We've had a tough week but it could be a good thing.
00:51:48We could have a really good chat here and have a few drinks and have a laugh and it could
00:51:51really raise the spirits and the energy.
00:51:53It could also go the other way.
00:51:56I guess we'll find out.
00:51:57It's going to be a long chat for us to tell them, like, about everything that's gone down.
00:52:02The honeymoon, getting back.
00:52:05There's so much that's happened.
00:52:07It did hurt to hear Danny say that he felt embarrassed by me at the dinner party.
00:52:14That sort of hit home a lot because if he's embarrassed of me then my dad and my family
00:52:18would be embarrassed of my behaviour.
00:52:20My family is so close.
00:52:22We are all like this.
00:52:24And their opinions are paramount to me.
00:52:27They don't know the nitty gritty of everything that's gone on.
00:52:30Like, I haven't really been communicating much just because I've tried to be really in the experiment.
00:52:35But I'm completely open about sharing the ups and downs with my family.
00:52:38So I'm not going to be sugarcoating stuff.
00:52:40I wonder if they've got any good advice for us.
00:52:45I have really serious feelings for Danny.
00:52:48So I hope my family come out of this and adore him as much as I do.
00:52:53I want us to work.
00:53:05Here to meet Beck and Danny is Beck's dad Lee and Aunty Helena.
00:53:10Beck and I get on famously when it gets down to the nitty gritty.
00:53:14Yeah, I'm protective.
00:53:15So I will ask about the ups and downs.
00:53:17And I want to know more about the downs and how they came to be.
00:53:22Hello.
00:53:25And here to see everyone again after the wedding is Danny's friend Alex.
00:53:29Thanks for coming.
00:53:31Well, Alex, one of Daniel's best friends.
00:53:35He knows everything about me.
00:53:38I know everything about him.
00:53:39So what I'll be looking out for today is to gauge Daniel's happiness.
00:53:42I was just saying, I haven't seen you.
00:53:44You left to go.
00:53:45I know.
00:53:46It's been 11 weeks.
00:53:47Seven weeks we've been married today.
00:53:49And then eight, nine, ten.
00:53:50Eleven weeks.
00:53:51That's a long time.
00:53:52Two or three months I haven't seen you.
00:53:54I know.
00:53:54Long time.
00:53:55I miss the wedding.
00:53:57I know.
00:53:58Cheers.
00:53:59Thanks for making it.
00:54:00I love it.
00:54:01Cheers.
00:54:01Good seeing you buddy.
00:54:02Cheers.
00:54:03Good health.
00:54:05Cheers.
00:54:06So more importantly.
00:54:08Oh, here we go.
00:54:10How are we going?
00:54:11Yeah, good.
00:54:12We're going good now.
00:54:14We've had a couple of ups and downs.
00:54:16Yeah, obviously.
00:54:17What?
00:54:17Yeah, why?
00:54:18The ups are easy.
00:54:19What are the downs?
00:54:21When we were on the honeymoon, we had such a good time, didn't we?
00:54:25But Daniel basically said that he had low sexual chemistry.
00:54:29It wasn't really attracted to me.
00:54:33I didn't say not attracted.
00:54:35I said I didn't think our sexual chemistry was too high.
00:54:38Sorry dad.
00:54:39It's all good.
00:54:41Anyway, we got past that and we moved in.
00:54:44It was all good.
00:54:45But I've acted out at dinner parties.
00:54:48I was furious at everything.
00:54:51I was upset with you.
00:54:54I was very upset.
00:54:56And I just.
00:54:58Kicking ass and taking names.
00:54:59I just dropped grenades on everyone.
00:55:03I like, like one of the things I said, look at you staring at me with those evil eyes.
00:55:09Oh.
00:55:10Oh.
00:55:10Bec.
00:55:12I did.
00:55:13I know.
00:55:14I did.
00:55:15At least you know.
00:55:16Yeah, I know.
00:55:17I was angry and I was reactive and gone haywire at people trying to prove my trust and my loyalty.
00:55:26Why?
00:55:29Because one of the other brides here, she actually came out at a dinner party and said that she asked
00:55:35Daniel, what is your type?
00:55:36And he said, on the outside world, I'd want to be with someone like you that looks like you.
00:55:41Oh.
00:55:42Oh.
00:55:48Is that true?
00:55:49After all, he's with me.
00:55:54In the dating world, I'm always trying to be positive.
00:55:59Some days it is more difficult than others.
00:56:03A funny date story.
00:56:04When I first rocked up to Sydney, I matched a girl on Hinge.
00:56:08She said, oh.
00:56:09Come meet me at Bronte Beach.
00:56:11I got down to Bronte Beach.
00:56:12The waves are like seven foot tall, crashing right on the bank.
00:56:16And she goes, oh, it's fine, let's have a go.
00:56:17I said, I don't know, it looked quite rough.
00:56:20So I drove, I go in, she runs in after me,
00:56:23and I look up and then just see her get tumbled,
00:56:25and her boobs fall out of her top.
00:56:27Her hair's like out here,
00:56:29she coughs up like a massive chunk of sand this big,
00:56:31sand's coming out of her nose, in her eyes.
00:56:34I was like, you almost died.
00:56:35She's like, oh, my boob fell out, my boob.
00:56:37Anyway, she was not happy.
00:56:40I never heard from her again.
00:56:49One of the other brides here,
00:56:51she actually came out at a dinner party
00:56:53and said that, she asked Daniel, what is your type?
00:56:55And he said, on the outside world,
00:56:57I'd want to be with someone like you that looks like you.
00:56:59Oh.
00:57:03Is that true?
00:57:07It's a complete lie.
00:57:08It didn't happen?
00:57:09Never happened, never happened.
00:57:10But that then has gotten into my head a bit, because...
00:57:14So, OK, I'll just wind back a bit.
00:57:16How do we know it didn't happen?
00:57:21Why would they pick you out to say that?
00:57:27So why you?
00:57:28Why not one of the other guys?
00:57:35I've got no reason to lie.
00:57:36I've been honest with Bec about things like...
00:57:39Yeah.
00:57:39...sitting Bec down and telling her I thought
00:57:41our sexual chemistry was low, that was a brutal conversation.
00:57:44I didn't want to have that conversation with Bec.
00:57:46But I'm trying to be real on this experiment.
00:57:48I feel that you have to be.
00:57:50It was a tough situation to deal with as well,
00:57:53because it's like I've never actually had someone flat out
00:57:56just lie about me like that before.
00:57:58So it was like, for me,
00:57:59I didn't even really know how to deal with it.
00:58:02I don't believe that it's true.
00:58:10That's good enough for me.
00:58:14I mean, I thought, like, I put Bec's mind at ease,
00:58:17where Bec's mind probably wasn't fully at ease in hindsight,
00:58:20was it?
00:58:21But she gets insecure about our relationship
00:58:23and needs more reassurance.
00:58:25Maybe that's where I fell short.
00:58:28I thought I was doing the right thing by standing up for him,
00:58:31but I just went in angry.
00:58:34I just went in angry and I just...
00:58:36And, like, I didn't want to talk about him and I,
00:58:38cos, like, I was upset with Danny.
00:58:41I'm also just disappointed in myself.
00:58:44Are you lucky?
00:58:44No.
00:58:45I've acted out at dinner parties.
00:58:47I've acted in a way that's not me,
00:58:49and it's because I've been angry.
00:58:52He's so angry.
00:58:54And my actions weren't acceptable.
00:58:56I am regretful about it.
00:59:01Bec probably got emotional in that moment.
00:59:04I can't speak on behalf of her, cos I'm not her,
00:59:06but she probably got emotional in that moment,
00:59:08because it's not the person she wants to be.
00:59:10Her family were there.
00:59:11Maybe she was a tiny bit ashamed.
00:59:13But, um, I'm glad it brought some emotion out of her,
00:59:16cos it shows that she cares.
00:59:20I did have a chat with Bec and say to her, like,
00:59:22some of your comments were, like,
00:59:25you're swearing and things like that.
00:59:27Yeah, it's true.
00:59:27I feel it's a bad reflection of you.
00:59:30Remember that those words aren't necessary.
00:59:34For them to come back and say to Bec, you know, like,
00:59:37that's not the way we've raised you.
00:59:38I'm glad that happened, cos I feel like me saying it's one thing,
00:59:42but Bec's family doubling down on it
00:59:43and saying the same thing to her.
00:59:45Um, solidifies it, you know,
00:59:48so I'd like to see that the next dinner party of behaviours change.
00:59:52It's hard, Bec, because you obviously have feelings for Denny.
00:59:56Yeah.
00:59:58I let things spiral in my mind over the past couple of weeks
01:00:01that made me be like, this isn't going to work,
01:00:04he doesn't like me, I'm not his type.
01:00:06And actually, had I just spoken to him,
01:00:09I wouldn't cause so much damage.
01:00:12I'm learning on the job, right?
01:00:14I've been single for four years before this experiment.
01:00:17The problem in our relationship is like,
01:00:19and I didn't realise it was a problem,
01:00:20but in these conversations, Bec's brought up and I said,
01:00:23I wish you would have told me, cos I'm not the most affectionate bloke.
01:00:25No, you're not.
01:00:26I don't always give Bec compliments.
01:00:28I look at Bec all the time and I say, in my head,
01:00:31I say she looks really pretty, but I don't say it out loud.
01:00:34Other than the negative stuff that we've talked about,
01:00:36we've actually, we actually have so much fun together.
01:00:39We do.
01:00:40There's things about Danny that I didn't know I was looking for in a man,
01:00:45that he does or he has, that I'm like, wow, I never knew that I wanted that.
01:00:50How do you feel about being with somebody like Bec though, with her personality?
01:00:56You always have Banner, don't you?
01:00:57We're always laughing, always.
01:00:58Always laughing and joking.
01:00:59I love that she's got a voice and she's passionate about things she believes in
01:01:04and she sticks up for her friends.
01:01:05I know she's got the biggest heart of gold.
01:01:08But you guys know yourself, right?
01:01:10She dotes on me, she's the loveliest person ever.
01:01:14Beautiful.
01:01:15Bec and Danny, they have to have their ups and downs,
01:01:18but they seem to get on well.
01:01:21And they seem to have a chemistry.
01:01:23I think they've got a possible future.
01:01:27Well, from here, you look really cute together.
01:01:30Thanks.
01:01:31You do.
01:01:32But listening to you today, if you're genuine, and I think you are,
01:01:36and that's why I'm saying that, I think it's going to be really fine.
01:01:39I really do.
01:01:40Yeah.
01:01:40That's good.
01:01:41I hope so.
01:01:50Down the hall,
01:01:52Something you don't know about me is.
01:01:55What about you?
01:01:56You answer this one.
01:01:58So there's nothing you want to tell me?
01:01:59No.
01:02:01Juliette's mood is yet to improve.
01:02:03I feel sad and depressed.
01:02:06I'm just, like, not feeling happy to go into this challenge,
01:02:09because I know, like, the more I get to know Joel,
01:02:12the more I'll probably get the ick.
01:02:17Something you don't know about me is.
01:02:20Yeah, I dropped out of music college.
01:02:21Just didn't feel the passion for it.
01:02:25Why didn't you stick it out?
01:02:26Did you, like, want to feel like you accomplished anything?
01:02:30Um.
01:02:31Or that it wasn't important to you?
01:02:35Not good.
01:02:36Not good.
01:02:37Not doing good.
01:02:38We're not doing good.
01:02:39This task granted the opportunity to reset and connect on a deeper level.
01:02:44But this is the absolute opposite.
01:02:47Three things I appreciate about you are.
01:02:56You liked your gym.
01:03:03I mean, now it's a bit ridiculous.
01:03:07She's only putting me down.
01:03:10What I need more from you is space.
01:03:16I'm just sort of desperate for peace, I think.
01:03:19I'm sort of just desperate for peace.
01:03:21Just one day off.
01:03:23What I need more from you is...
01:03:28More kindness.
01:03:30I think you're quite cruel to me.
01:03:32And you don't really, you know, you put me down a lot.
01:03:34And you, um, I don't think you have a lot of respect for me.
01:03:37So, you know, that's upsetting.
01:03:39Sure.
01:03:40Because I feel like I'm the opposite to you.
01:03:41And I treat you with kindness and respect.
01:03:43Mm-hmm.
01:03:43And I don't shout at you and I don't get angry at you and...
01:03:46I think it's very obvious that I treat you a lot better than you treat me.
01:03:50Yeah, sure. Definitely.
01:03:53Something I want to know about you...
01:03:55I feel like you pretty much get what you see.
01:04:02Mm-hmm.
01:04:04Something I want to know about you is...
01:04:08What were you like in your previous relationship?
01:04:12Loving, caring, hopeful, excited, happy.
01:04:17Do you think I've seen any of those qualities so far?
01:04:21No, you haven't.
01:04:23Could be a...
01:04:24Could be a sign.
01:04:28I'm feeling battered.
01:04:29I'm feeling bruised.
01:04:30I was like, I don't know what to do.
01:04:32She's definitely pulled away.
01:04:34There's no doubt about that.
01:04:35And I felt that.
01:04:37I'm not feeling good.
01:04:41I actually really enjoyed that.
01:04:42I feel like I got a lot off my chest.
01:05:00With Juliette and Joel on the fast track to nowhere...
01:05:03..in a shocking twist...
01:05:08..one participant has packed their bags and left.
01:05:24After a fraught lunch with their family and friends...
01:05:30..one participant has made a shocking decision.
01:05:36..she has pretty much just walked out.
01:05:39Where are you going?
01:05:41I'm going.
01:05:42I'm done.
01:05:43This experiment.
01:05:45I'm done with the experiment, man.
01:05:47An unexpected fight broke out between the couple
01:05:50after Scott refused to delete a photo of his ex from his phone.
01:05:56There was a memory photo of myself and my ex
01:05:58and popped up like a memory from 2020.
01:06:02Pretty much how it went down was,
01:06:04you need to delete those photos or I'm out.
01:06:06And I said, I'm not willing to delete photos of a memory
01:06:08from that long ago.
01:06:10You know, I've got nothing to hide.
01:06:14I'm not going to remove memories off my phone of an ex
01:06:17when there's nothing there.
01:06:19You know, I'm just not going to do it.
01:06:23So, Gia pretty much gave me the ultimatum
01:06:25and said, if you don't delete them, I'm out.
01:06:26And Gia's just walked out.
01:06:30I've done nothing wrong here.
01:06:32Like, I don't even know what to do.
01:06:35Like, I just, I don't know.
01:06:36It's shit.
01:06:41He can f*** off.
01:06:44I'm done.
01:06:55Tomorrow night.
01:06:56I just want to know if you two have said I love you to each other.
01:07:02Advice from their nearest and dearest...
01:07:04I feel like you've got to let your wall down a little bit.
01:07:08...brings one couple closer than ever before.
01:07:11I've come out the other side feeling lighter.
01:07:13It's good vibes now, yeah.
01:07:14Go on, give me the lowdown.
01:07:16...Alyssa's friend drops a bombshell about another bride in the experiment.
01:07:21There's been a lot of chat about her trying to dig up dirt on you.
01:07:25This girl, I don't trust her. She has to stay away.
01:07:29Put the shoe on the other foot, Tyson.
01:07:31How would that make you feel as a man?
01:07:33What's Tyson's secret confession that threatens to undo all his hard work?
01:07:38It all just feels very wrong.
01:07:43And then...
01:07:44Look at her. Stunning.
01:07:47It's like he's trying to antagonize me.
01:07:49Juliet's mood goes from bad...
01:07:52The eye gaze.
01:07:52Not gonna stand to your devil eyes.
01:07:54...to worse.
01:07:55It's a... It's a... It's a... It's a...
01:07:57It's a metaphor.
01:07:57It's a performance.
01:07:59Will one comment from Joel see her quit the experiment?
