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 going to 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.
00:00:28Everyone's impression of my man is extremely important.
00:00:31Maybe the attraction is 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.
00:00:52You scared to leave me.
00:00:54And...
00:00:55I'm going to 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.
00:01:07We 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.
00:01:34I 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, you go.
00:01:56Home sweet home.
00:01:58Our three newest couples move in together.
00:02:01Here 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.
00:02:24And in a dramatic turn of events,
00:02:26which participant calls it quits
00:02:29and leaves the experiment?
00:02:39It's the morning after a fiery
00:02:42and emotional commitment ceremony.
00:02:46Where Bec and Danny's relationship
00:02:48and 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 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
00:03:23and from the experiment.
00:03:25I don't think Bec's a bad person,
00:03:27but 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
00:03:40essentially 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
00:03:50and going after people,
00:03:52going for the throat.
00:03:54What do you think about that?
00:03:56Really 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 wrong is just take accountability.
00:04:09When Bec sort of says,
00:04:12yeah, but, and then she starts to blame other things,
00:04:14I feel that she's not really being accountable for her actions.
00:04:19And 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
00:04:38and think, what 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.
00:05:18I don't think Bec is a bad person.
00:05:22She's doing bad things, yes.
00:05:25She just started 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.
00:05:35Well, 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.
00:05:42And 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
00:05:49and, like, 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,
00:06:08Bec 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.
00:06:27From 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
00:06:42when eating a ride or die,
00:06:44someone that's going to be-
00:06:45I 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?
00:06:52No, 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,
00:06:59it's frustrating for me
00:07:00because of lies being spread about me.
00:07:02Correct.
00:07:03Okay, 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.
00:07:30You 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.
00:07:36Do you?
00:07:41Every single person at that commitment ceremony
00:07:43was 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, the whole situation,
00:07:55because my name's being dragged through the mud.
00:07:57I never said that stupid comment.
00:07:59With all due respect to Gia,
00:08:01and don't take this the wrong way,
00:08:02I'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?
00:08:08I didn't, Gia.
00:08:10That comment,
00:08:12the supposed comment of her being my type,
00:08:14is just ridiculous anyway,
00:08:15because it's that...
00:08:17Like, 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,
00:08:36and 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?
00:08:47Desperately.
00:08:47Mm.
00:08:48I 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,
00:08:59yeah, I have pulled back because of your behaviour at some times.
00:09:02It 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 just about six.
00:09:16Like, I need processing time.
00:09:19In my mind, I'm like,
00:09:20well, 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,
00:09:31am 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,
00:09:38no, I'm not in for this.
00:09:40Bec, it seems to me that you've just let all these things
00:09:43brought up in your head,
00:09:44and now it's become like you've gone to the dinner parties
00:09:48and it's been like Armageddon,
00:09:49and you've took it out on other people,
00:09:51and 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 has caused.
00:09:59Well, we could have just had a conversation about this.
00:10:01I'm not a mind reader.
00:10:03If 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.
00:10:11Do you know?
00:10:11Have conversations.
00:10:12You just haven't got to do it in the way you've been doing it.
00:10:15No. That's all I'm saying.
00:10:16Don't hold bitterness in your chest,
00:10:17because 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.
00:10:27I 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
00:10:49about our relationship to him, finally.
00:10:52You know, finally.
00:10:53I was band-aiding things and being like,
00:10:56it's great. It's great.
00:10:57Like, I love him. He's great.
00:10:58Blah, blah, blah.
00:10:59But then, like, on the inside, I'm like,
00:11:01why aren't you complimenting me?
00:11:02And it's always referring back to that ridiculous
00:11:05and false comment that Gia said.
00:11:07And I've realised now, today, that actually, like,
00:11:09I'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
00:11:21because she seems to hold them all and they bubble up
00:11:23and then the relationship all of a sudden's in turmoil
00:11:26where it didn't have to go that way.
00:11:29As Bec and Danny navigate difficulties in their marriage,
00:11:34three new couples are embarking on a new chapter in theirs.
00:11:40After a week of weddings, honeymoons, a dinner party
00:11:43and expert advice...
00:11:45Hi, how are you going?
00:11:47Welcome to Moncloca Resort.
00:11:49..today, they're moving in together.
00:11:52You all right?
00:11:54Presidential suite?
00:11:55Oh, fantastic.
00:11:57And being four weeks behind the other couples,
00:12:00they will spend the week receiving a crash course
00:12:03to fast-track their relationship.
00:12:05Oh, we've got a name on the door and everything.
00:12:07Yeah.
00:12:08Wow, that's special.
00:12:11Nice. After 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...
00:12:28..across the hall, Stephanie and Tyson are also moving in.
00:12:33Well, this is nice, eh?
00:12:36So nice.
00:12:37..and Tyson is beginning this new chapter
00:12:39with a renewed and positive mindset.
00:12:42I essentially woke up this morning
00:12:44and said, I really need to give this a red-hot crack.
00:12:46We do have similar interests
00:12:48in regards to real estate, politics, et cetera,
00:12:50so I'll give myself seven days to really give it my 100% all,
00:12:54and during that seven days,
00:12:56if I can feel some sort of connection
00:12:58or some sort of gut feeling to stay,
00:13:01then I'll definitely stay longer, for sure.
00:13:03Ooh.
00:13:04His new outlook comes off the back
00:13:06of receiving some strong feedback
00:13:08from the experts at last night's commitment ceremony.
00:13:12She's definitely not the submissive type, that's for sure.
00:13:15You're saying, I want to be with someone
00:13:17who will lie down, give up their rights,
00:13:21not try to have their needs met,
00:13:23who 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.
00:13:33OK, but I'm not.
00:13:33You're using the word submissive.
00:13:35Seeing people like you come and go
00:13:37with all these long lists of rigid ideas
00:13:40of what's a perfect match,
00:13:42you stay single,
00:13:43there's no-one out there that can ever measure up
00:13:45because 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.
00:14:06I'm in a lot more positive mindset now.
00:14:08Yeah, I need to give this whole thing,
00:14:09living together, my 100%.
00:14:11This is really good.
00:14:13Just to really see if I can establish
00:14:15some sort of relationship there with Steph.
00:14:19But Steph and I have disagreements
00:14:22regarding the traditional values of, like,
00:14:24you know, the husband provides and protects
00:14:25and a woman who wants to, you know, cook and clean.
00:14:30But at the same time, I know I'm not perfect
00:14:32and sometimes I just say silly things.
00:14:36How did you feel about, like, Alessandra and Mel
00:14:39pulling you up on this whole submissive thing?
00:14:41Yeah, look, maybe I had it wrong, I'm not too sure,
00:14:45but I always thought submissive was
00:14:48someone that obviously brings a lot of emotion
00:14:50to the relationship.
00:14:51Mm.
00:14:52But, obviously, they said it was more of a,
00:14:54more of a power and control thing.
00:14:56Yeah.
00:14:56And I don't want to come across as a power and control freak
00:15:00because 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.
00:15:16Like John said, I do need to be a little bit more curious
00:15:19in regards to our relationship.
00:15:21Yeah.
00:15:22So, 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,
00:15:35but 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
00:15:44before 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?
00:15:49We're close.
00:15:50We're 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.
00:15:56I 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.
00:16:04Mm.
00:16:05And I hope I get to see that.
00:16:07I don't know if I will get to see that.
00:16:09But I hope I do.
00:16:12Down the hall, newlyweds Juliet and Joel
00:16:15have officially moved in.
00:16:18But despite Juliet's vow to build on her attraction
00:16:22to her husband at last night's commitment ceremony,
00:16:25the more I get to know Joel,
00:16:27the more I'll probably gain attraction to him for sure.
00:16:31And I'm patiently waiting
00:16:32for her to grow that attraction to warm to me.
00:16:35I'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.
00:16:46Definitely upset.
00:16:48What are you upset about?
00:16:50Um...
00:16:55A 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, um,
00:17:12a link to Joel's YouTube channel of him playing, um,
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 just having a bit of fun.
00:17:36I just don't think that's, like, a classy act
00:17:38to be posting on YouTube.
00:17:41Um, just think we're completely different people.
00:17:45That's kind of pushed me over the edge of, um,
00:17:48whether 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, for love,
00:18:03and, of course, for my life, yes.
00:18:08Through highs and lows, my loyalty will remain
00:18:11as 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
00:18:30that 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
00:18:36where we're different because, like, for me,
00:18:38that was a bit weird to witness
00:18:40and the facial expressions you were doing in it as well
00:18:42was a bit odd and... Yeah, but...
00:18:44Like, all of that was a bit wiggy.
00:18:46It was so wiggy. Yeah.
00:18:48Today has taken a turn for the worse.
00:18:51It's been a dramatic turn of events
00:18:53between me and Juliet.
00:18:54After last night's commitment ceremony,
00:18:56we seemed like we were blind,
00:18:58but today she blew up at me over my drumming video.
00:19:02Like, you're not definitely the type of people
00:19:04that 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
00:19:19that my friends had to say,
00:19:21is this your husband?
00:19:25Like, these are the things that I'm finding out
00:19:28that are pushing me further and further away for sure.
00:19:32This is the new side that I've seen from Juliet,
00:19:34and I am shocked, I'm blindsided, and I'm upset.
00:19:48It's daybreak,
00:19:49and our newest couples are waking up
00:19:52for the first time together in their own apartments.
00:19:57It's a high-frequency snore you've got to go on.
00:20:00It's a strong snore.
00:20:04Down the hall,
00:20:05Tyson is actioning some sound advice
00:20:07he received from the experts.
00:20:11Here you go.
00:20:13A beautiful tea for a beautiful girl.
00:20:15And he's decided to pull out all the stops
00:20:17for 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 just want 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.
00:20:39It's the effort though, right?
00:20:39Yeah, absolutely.
00:20:40Yeah.
00:20:41Yeah.
00:20:42As 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
00:20:51which put Joel's drumming skills in the spotlight,
00:20:55Juliet has pulled back from Joel,
00:20:58leaving 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
00:21:09and 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
00:21:18and we can enjoy each other's company?
00:21:20With groceries and stuff, we eat different food.
00:21:22You just do your thing.
00:21:23Yeah.
00:21:26This morning, I hoped Juliet would be in a better mood,
00:21:30but it seems like she is not.
00:21:33I can make you breakfast tomorrow morning
00:21:34if you like scrambled eggs.
00:21:38Scrumb and eggs on toast, Julesy.
00:21:42I want to try and just have, like, a joyful time together,
00:21:46but 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!
00:22:08..our original couples are getting ready
00:22:10for one of the most important phases of the experiment.
00:22:13Are you ready to handle the grilling if you get a grilling?
00:22:15I love grilling.
00:22:16Family and friends week.
00:22:18This week, it's the perfect time for our original couples
00:22:22to 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.
00:22:29OK.
00:22:30Meeting each other's family and friends
00:22:31is an important relationship milestone for any new couple.
00:22:35Big day show, we're going to get some outside perspective.
00:22:38The aim is that the more casual setting
00:22:40will encourage their friends and family to really dig deep,
00:22:43ask those probing questions
00:22:45and give some guidance for the rest of the experiment.
00:22:54One of the strongest couples in the experiment, Gia and Scott,
00:22:58are getting ready to receive a visit from their loved 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,
00:23:13so 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...
00:23:21I'm not!
00:23:22No, I'm not.
00:23:24What about...
00:23:25What do you think's going to happen?
00:23:26Are they 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,
00:23:32and everyone kind of got along,
00:23:33and I think he got the approval already of my mum.
00:23:36So, do you think it's going to be too hard of a day?
00:23:39Oh, my God!
00:23:43Gia hasn't seen her mum and best friend, Will,
00:23:46since her wedding day,
00:23:47where 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.
00:23:59You're pissing me off, seriously.
00:24:00Oh, here we go.
00:24:01You f***ing drama queen.
00:24:03Does she think this is my first rodeo?
00:24:05Does she think that this is the first bridezilla
00:24:06I've ever had to deal with?
00:24:08Hello?
00:24:09Chill out, diva.
00:24:10Like, you're not Mariah Carey.
00:24:13Sit down.
00:24:19I love you too.
00:24:22I love you.
00:24:22Don't be a drama queen today.
00:24:24I love you so much, but don't.
00:24:26Okay.
00:24:26She is so headstrong.
00:24:28You know, she wouldn't apologise to me
00:24:29when I felt she was in the wrong,
00:24:31and then I was like,
00:24:32well, I'm not apologising,
00:24:33and then I realised that I was like,
00:24:35this is her wedding day,
00:24:36and she's marrying a stranger.
00:24:38Get on board again.
00:24:39You better get on board.
00:24:40Oh, my God!
00:24:43Yay!
00:24:45Bitch!
00:24:46Bitch!
00:24:48Bitch!
00:24:48Bitch!
00:24:51So, look, it's like best friend code.
00:24:54We know her the best,
00:24:55so I think I'll be straight up,
00:24:57I'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, you don't know.
00:25:06We 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 miss you.
00:25:16Oh, hold up.
00:25:18Scotty!
00:25:19And from the Gold Coast
00:25:20are Scott's closest friends,
00:25:22Paige 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,
00:25:29and 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!
00:25:39It's been five weeks.
00:25:40It'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?
00:25:50I think we've, you know, like,
00:25:52we've been matched for a reason.
00:25:53There's so many things we align on
00:25:54that 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.
00:26:07Well, we are the strongest couple here.
00:26:09Yeah.
00:26:10Well, I asked Gia to be my girlfriend the weekend,
00:26:11so it's like...
00:26:13Hey!
00:26:14Daddy boy!
00:26:15So cute!
00:26:17That's so cute!
00:26:18We love that.
00:26:20Call us hopeless romantic.
00:26:22Yeah.
00:26:22Call us a good love story.
00:26:23Yeah, we love a good love story.
00:26:26Oh, my God, and he's so pretty.
00:26:28Like, he's so hot.
00:26:30I love them together.
00:26:31Scotty, you're going red.
00:26:33Oh, no, that's just the tan.
00:26:35How about the drinking side of things?
00:26:37Like, do you find that Gia drinks
00:26:39more 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
00:26:49because, like, I don't want to be drinking by myself.
00:26:51We're exactly the same in terms of, like,
00:26:53we both go to...
00:26:55Like, you'll know from home,
00:26:56I light-mode my phone at 8pm
00:26:57and I'm in bed before anyone else.
00:26:59Yeah.
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
00:27:05as to why it wouldn't work between you,
00:27:06what would it be?
00:27:07You can be honest.
00:27:10Just...
00:27:10The only way it wouldn't work
00:27:11is if Gia thinks I wouldn't be, like,
00:27:14good enough to be a father with a daughter.
00:27:17It's all good to be, like, on FaceTime with her
00:27:19and, like, she likes him a lot, she does.
00:27:21Like, but I think, you know,
00:27:23I need to see what he's like with her
00:27:25and how they interact
00:27:25and I need her to be comfortable,
00:27:27I want him to feel comfortable.
00:27:29I guess my concern would be
00:27:32how is it going to work on the outside
00:27:33doing long distance
00:27:34and how long are you going to be
00:27:35doing long distance for?
00:27:37Yeah, I feel like we've had a lot of talks about it
00:27:40and I think...
00:27:40I was on the Gold Coast
00:27:41before I came back to Melbourne, like...
00:27:43It makes more sense to us,
00:27:45for us to be there, you know?
00:27:47Will you be bringing your daughter up, though?
00:27:49Because I think...
00:27:50Or just when Scotty goes down to Melbourne,
00:27:52like, 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
00:27:58more than maybe once.
00:27:59I'd go by myself,
00:28:00but I feel like he needs to be around her enough
00:28:02for me to see that this would work.
00:28:04Do you want Scotty to be, like,
00:28:06a full-blown father figure
00:28:07or more like a friend figure?
00:28:10Father figure.
00:28:12What's going on?
00:28:13Matt and Paige were firing questions non-stop.
00:28:16If you were going to come from Melbourne
00:28:18up to the Gold Coast for maybe a week
00:28:20and leave your daughter at home,
00:28:21like, what would she be doing?
00:28:23She'd be with me.
00:28:23Yeah, with you.
00:28:24Yeah, with my mum.
00:28:24I feel like they came in with a bit of an agenda.
00:28:30Scotty, is Jaya 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,
00:28:48I'll give it back because that's what I'm like.
00:28:51I don't think you can compare
00:28:52because I would never start an OnlyFans
00:28:54and put that out there for $8.
00:28:58So there's the comparison there.
00:28:59I feel like I'm a wife.
00:29:11Is Jaya 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,
00:29:53I'll give it back because that's what I'm like.
00:29:56I don't think you can compare
00:29:57because I would never start an OnlyFans.
00:30:00And put that out there for $8.
00:30:02So there's the comparison there.
00:30:04Yeah.
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,
00:30:12someone I know hasn't slept with.
00:30:14He's not going to find anyone who 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 her own person.
00:30:26But do you still have contact with her?
00:30:29You don't?
00:30:29If so ever.
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?
00:30:35Like, 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.
00:30:45Is this 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.
00:30:59You're not.
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.
00:31:06Like, so sometimes I don't take matters serious.
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.
00:31:24Disrespectful 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.
00:31:41Give him, like, energy.
00:31:44I was shocked.
00:31:45Like, why the f*** is the ex brought up?
00:31:46Like...
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.
00:32:13Not, oh, 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.
00:32:19Yeah.
00:32:19So who cares?
00:32:19That's not a question that needs to be brought up.
00:32:21Like, I'm not jealous.
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.
00:32:35No.
00:32:36All right.
00:32:37Let's go.
00:32:38Shall we?
00:32:39Oh, yeah.
00:32:40Let's go.
00:32:40Love you.
00:32:42Bye.
00:32:43Bye-bye.
00:32:45Love you.
00:32:46Bye.
00:32:47See you, brother.
00:32:48Bye-bye.
00:32:48See you.
00:32:53I think it was good.
00:32:55Mm.
00:32:56It was like, I don't know, just getting outside point of views
00:33:01and what they think about our relationship
00:33:02and 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,
00:33:21they're just covering everything about our past
00:33:23and if it was just a question of you,
00:33:25don't take anything personal or anything like that.
00:33:28Comparing me to an ex was a bit 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
00:33:36to 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 in.
00:33:53It's really important for me that I have a partner
00:33:55that will back me up in situations.
00:33:58We will probably have more conversations
00:33:59about 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
00:34:09on 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
00:34:27about 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...
00:34:38So have 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
00:35:08that 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,
00:35:17so 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.
00:35:30I'm a bit, a bit long.
00:35:31With Stephanie and Tyson beginning to settle
00:35:34into their domestic life after a bumpy start
00:35:37to the experiment...
00:35:41It'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
00:35:53our newest couple's relationships
00:35:55with a series of tasks aimed at helping them
00:35:58to open up and be vulnerable with each other.
00:36:01Stephanie and Tyson.
00:36:02Physical intimacy can take time.
00:36:05However, sometimes there is power in taking small steps
00:36:08to deepen a connection.
00:36:09This task invites you to build trust
00:36:11and 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,
00:36:25we're definitely getting along a lot better
00:36:27and Steph and I do connect on a lot of levels.
00:36:30But 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.
00:36:44I know, I know.
00:36:46We'll definitely have to set a timer.
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 going to be weird.
00:36:54A little bit.
00:36:56The prospect of staring into Tyson's eyes
00:36:58for three uninterrupted minutes,
00:37:00it'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,
00:37:11you know, anger and, like, fury.
00:37:15Three minutes.
00:37:16You ready?
00:37:16Yeah.
00:37:17Alright, let's go.
00:37:28So weird.
00:37:42Good night.
00:37:45you too. Tyson has nice eyes and I was thinking about his nice eyes. I kept seeing him smile,
00:37:54which was nice. I felt a little bit closer to him in that moment.
00:38:02I feel like everyone's got a soul and I was really trying to get in there just to see what
00:38:06I could
00:38:06see. And, you know, even just looking into her eyes for that three minutes, I can tell,
00:38:11you know, she's a beautiful person. She's got a beautiful heart.
00:38:18Well, our three minutes is up. How'd you feel? It was nice. So you've got nice eyes. Thank you.
00:38:27You too. It was an interesting little task. It's really nice seeing you smile.
00:38:31Mm. Oh, thank you. I do smile a lot, but, you know, as we know, last couple of weeks has
00:38:37been
00:38:37a rollercoaster for us. But one thing's for sure, you've got beautiful eyes and, yeah,
00:38:43it was, um, it was good. Thank God it's not whips and chains and whipped cream. I was waiting for
00:38:52that.
00:38:54I think secretly you want that too, Stan. I absolutely do, honey. You know. You just know
00:38:59me so well. I know. And how do you like to hug? Isn't the only way, like, one way of
00:39:04hugging? Like,
00:39:05you just get up and hug? Yeah, I guess. It's going to be a good hug. Yeah? Quite frankly,
00:39:12people would be jealous. So let's, um, so let's time it and we'll stand, what do you reckon,
00:39:18stand up? Well, we're not going to sit down and hug you freak out. Because it's going to be a
00:39:22bit
00:39:22odd, eh? Because do you like, like, when I go over the top or do you like underneath? I like
00:39:27to go over
00:39:27the top. Okay. Yeah. All right. It's probably a bit masculine. Bring it in. Bring it in.
00:39:32Oh, gosh. Bring it in.
00:39:49He's a good hugger. And, like, I just fit, I fit so nicely into, like, his, into his embrace.
00:40:08I enjoy hugging Tyson. It's nice. I like how I just kind of fit into, like, your embrace really
00:40:16nicely. No, it was a good, it was a good hug. Yeah, it was like a 10 out of 10
00:40:20hug. So, um,
00:40:22I could feel your, your fingers moving on my back. I'm like, oof, I could stand here for another three
00:40:26minutes. Um. I'm always thinking of you, man. Yeah. Thank you, Steph. Thank you. I, yeah,
00:40:33I appreciate that. I felt like he enjoyed it. I felt like he eased into it. I gave him, like,
00:40:38little back scratches and I knew he would enjoy that. So I wanted to just, like, show a bit of
00:40:43an
00:40:43affectionate side of me. I think it brought us a little bit closer for sure. Just, just got to
00:40:49take this slow and just see where it ends up. Hmm. That's all we can do. Yeah. But progress is
00:40:55progress. So we're making progress and it feels so good. Progress is progress, baby. Come on.
00:41:00Let's go. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, it feels good. I'm excited. I'm excited to see us continue to
00:41:07progress. Mm-hmm. I would hope that Tyson is starting to feel a little more physically
00:41:12attracted to me. You know, I think we'd look great together and I think we do get along on so
00:41:18many levels. I think this is, like, the next step for us. Do you love me all of a sudden?
00:41:22Yeah. Yeah.
00:41:24I can clearly see that. Coming up. Juliet and Joel go from bad to worse. What I need more from
00:41:36you is
00:41:41space. There's, um, yeah, there's something that I want to tell you. It'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. I can feel
00:41:50my nerves start to
00:41:51come on because I knew that Sam was going to find out. So I'm just going to rip the band
00:41:54-aid off and do
00:41:54it. Um, so I... And later, one participant dramatically walks out.
00:42:15This week, our newest couples are taking part in a crash course designed to expedite
00:42:21their progress in the experiment. Chris and Sam. That's us. Hi. Hello. How 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. Yours, 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. Every day, we are a little bit more touchy and a little bit closer and, like...
00:42:53Yeah. Yeah.
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
00:43:07raw, unfiltered truths about your life, your values, and what you wanted in a partner.
00:43:12This year, in your crash course, we are doing things differently.
00:43:15Secondly, you 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. What the actual f*** 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
00:43:32becoming a father and my children in my audition video.
00:43:38I really want to have children, and I'm on a wait list for a surrogate, which is happening
00:43:42at the end of the year, which will be my child, but with an egg donor.
00:43:48I've just donated my sperm to one of my best friends, who's a lesbian.
00:43:52Yeah, her and her partner.
00:43:53So she's pregnant.
00:43:54So 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 yeah, if they're not kid-friendly
00:44:07or they don't want to do that, it's probably like a deal-broker.
00:44:12Okay.
00:44:13Wow.
00:44:15Chris has kept quiet about his children since the topic awkwardly came up at the couple's
00:44:20wedding.
00:44:22Oh, I mean, if you wanted kids next year, I don't think that would be something that
00:44:25I would be ready for just yet.
00:44:27Right.
00:44:27It's a little bit disheartening.
00:44:29It's a little bit sad, to be honest.
00:44:31And when an opportunity to tell Sam the news arose during their honeymoon, Chris still had
00:44:37trepidation about telling his new husband.
00:44:41What is one important thing I should know about you?
00:44:44Chris, do 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 got a weight on my shoulders.
00:44:55Yeah, yeah.
00:44:55Yeah.
00:44:58I'm not going to answer that question just yet.
00:45:02Yeah.
00:45:06I was, for lack of a better word, shooting myself, because I knew that Sam was going to
00:45:10find out by watching my video.
00:45:13I wonder if they'll show you when I spoke to John or spoke to Mel, or if you get to
00:45:17see
00:45:17both.
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.
00:45:22Yeah.
00:45:23I don't think I've said anything that I'm trying to hide.
00:45:27I'm 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.
00:45:37And you 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 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
00:46:04agenda 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, but I want to say, regardless, I would rather
00:46:36of him hear it from my mouth.
00:46:38I've decided I'm going to completely open up and be vulnerable and tell him.
00:46:45Okay, so if you're going to watch my audition video, there's, um, yeah, there's something
00:46:49that I want to tell you.
00:46:50Okay.
00:46:50Um, I just want you to, yeah, do you want to 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 going to see it anyway.
00:47:05Okay.
00:47:05So I want to tell you myself.
00:47:08Yeah.
00:47:09Um, so I'm just going to rip the band-aid off and do it.
00:47:13Um, so I am going to be a dad.
00:47:31Um, so I'm just going to rip the band-aid off and do it.
00:47:46Um, so I am going to be a, um, dad.
00:47:52A donor dad.
00:47:55Um.
00:47:56Um, yeah, congratulations.
00:47:59That's awesome.
00:48:00Thanks.
00:48:01Um, yeah, so 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 going to 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
00:48:16of mine who I've been 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 going to 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
00:48:39to me being a donor for them one day and me being, you know, a father to them, but the
00:48:43kid 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.
00:48:50And then the second part of the news is I'm also having a 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
00:49:04child in roughly 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, as I got a little bit older, I just felt like there was a
00:49:19part
00:49:19of me that was missing, and 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
00:49:31be able to go through that journey and get to this stage where he's going to have a kid.
00:49:35That's awesome.
00:49:36It's not going to, 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.
00:49:45And I've also said if I got closer to the age of 40, it would be something that I would
00:49:49take into my own hands and do it, which is exactly, like, what you're doing.
00:49:53And 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.
00:49:57And I just feel like, you know, in the real world, I wouldn't really know when the right
00:50:01or 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 going to 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, 10 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.
00:50:32Congratulations.
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 want.
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
00:50:50guy.
00:50:51As Crash Course Week brings about a closer connection for Chris and Sam, our original couples are continuing
00:50:58to 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.
00:51:10We sat and talked for hours.
00:51:12I had to tell Bec some home truths.
00:51:14You know what I mean?
00:51:15You know, tell her her behaviour is unacceptable.
00:51:18And now I need her to take on board what I've said to her.
00:51:20I just want to see that Bec's trying to make change.
00:51:23I want today to go really good.
00:51:25It would mean a lot to me that everyone just gets on and we have a great day.
00:51:29But, um, I think they're going to have a lot of questions.
00:51:32Especially her father.
00:51:34They're going to ask me, you know, the ups and the downs of the relationship.
00:51:38Do I see a future with Bec?
00:51:39They'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.
00:51:51And it could really 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 what's gone down.
00:52:02The honeymoon, getting back.
00:52:05There's so much what'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.
00:52:16Because if he's embarrassed of me, then my dad and my family would 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.
00:52:33Just 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.
00:52:49So I hope my family come out of this and adore him as much as I do.
00:52:53I want us to work.
00:53:04Here 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 we'll ask about the ups and downs.
00:53:17And I want to know more about the downs and how they came to be.
00:53:25And here to see everyone again after the wedding is Danny's friend, Alex.
00:53:30Thanks 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, 11 weeks.
00:53:51That's a long time.
00:53:52It's only three months I haven't seen him.
00:53:54I know.
00:53:54Long time.
00:53:55I miss the wedding.
00:53:57I know.
00:53:58Cheers.
00:53:59Cheers.
00:53:59Thanks for making it.
00:54:00I love it.
00:54:00Cheers.
00:54:01Good seeing you, buddy.
00:54:01Always a pleasure.
00:54:02Cheers.
00:54:03Good health.
00:54:05Cheers.
00:54:06So more importantly...
00:54:08Here 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.
00:54:29He wasn't really attracted to me.
00:54:33I didn't say not attracted.
00:54:35I said, like, I didn't think our sexual chemistry was too high.
00:54:38Sorry, Dad.
00:54:39It's me.
00:54:41Anyway, we got past that and we came, 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.
00:55:02I'm...
00:55:04I, like...
00:55:04Like, one of the things I said, look at you staring at me with those evil eyes.
00:55:09Oh!
00:55:10Oh!
00:55:10Beck.
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...
00:55:35She asked Daniel, 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?
00:55:55In 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, come meet me at Bronte Beach.
00:56:10Get down to Bronte Beach.
00:56:12The waves are like seven foot tall, crashing right on the bank.
00:56:16She goes, oh, it's fine.
00:56:17Let's have a go.
00:56:17I said, I don't know.
00:56:19They look quite rough.
00:56:20So I go in.
00:56:22She 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 is 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 said, 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, she actually came out at a dinner party and said that she
00:56:54asked Daniel, what is your type?
00:56:55And he said, on the outside world, I'd want to be with someone like you that looks like
00:56:59you.
00:57:00Oh.
00:57:03Is that true?
00:57:07It's a complete lie.
00:57:08It didn't happen?
00:57:09Never happened.
00:57:10Never happened.
00:57:10But that then has gotten into my head a bit because...
00:57:14So I 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, like, sitting Bec down and telling her I thought
00:57:41our sexual chemistry was like, 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 because I've never actually had someone flat
00:57:56out just lie about me like that before.
00:57:57So it was like, for me, I 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 thought, like, I put Bec's mind at ease where Bec's mind probably wasn't fully at ease
00:58:19in hindsight, was it?
00:58:21But she gets insecure about our relationship and 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, but I just went in angry.
00:58:34I just went in angry and I just, and like, I didn't want to talk about him and I because
00:58:38like, I was upset with Danny.
00:58:41I'm also just disappointed in myself.
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 and 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 because I'm not her, but she probably got emotional in
00:59:07that moment because it's not the person she wants to be.
00:59:10Her family were there.
00:59:11Maybe she was a tiny bit of shame.
00:59:13But I'm glad it brought some emotion out of her because it shows that she cares.
00:59:19I did have a chat with Bec and say to her, like, some of your comments were, like, you're
00:59:25swearing and things like that.
00:59:27Yeah.
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, that's not the way we've raised you.
00:59:38I'm glad that happened because I feel like me saying it's one thing, but Bec's family
00:59:42doubling down on it and saying the same thing to her solidifies it.
00:59:47You know, so I'd like to see the next dinner party of behaviors 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 that made me be like, this
01:00:03isn't going to work.
01:00:04He doesn't like me.
01:00:05I'm not his type.
01:00:06And actually, had I just spoken to him, I 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, and I didn't realize it was a problem, but
01:00:20in these conversations, Bec's brought up and I said, I wish you would have told me, because
01:00:24I'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, I say she looks really pretty, but
01:00:32I don't say it out loud.
01:00:34Other than the negative stuff that we've talked about, we've actually, we actually have so
01:00:37much fun together.
01:00:38Do you?
01:00:39We do.
01:00:40There's things about Denny that I didn't know I was looking for in a man that he does or
01:00:46he has that I'm like, wow, I never knew that I wanted that.
01:00:50How do you feel about being 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 and she sticks
01:01:04up for her friends.
01:01:06I know she's got the biggest heart of gold.
01:01:08You guys know yourself, right?
01:01:10She dotes on me.
01:01:11She's the loveliest person ever.
01:01:14Beautiful.
01:01:15Bec and Denny, they have had their ups and downs, but they seem to get on well and they
01:01:21seem to have a chemistry.
01:01:24I 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, and that's why I'm saying
01:01:37that, 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 because I know, like, the more
01:02:11I get to know Joel, the 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...
01:02:54Um...
01:03:02I mean, now it's a bit ridiculous.
01:03:07She's only putting me down.
01:03:10What I need more from you is...
01:03:13space.
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...
01:03:33You know, you put me down a lot.
01:03:34And you, um...
01:03:36I don't think you have a lot of respect for me.
01:03:38So, 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.
01:03:44And I don't get angry at you.
01:03:45And I think it's very obvious
01:03:47that I treat you a lot better than you treat me.
01:03:50Yeah, sure.
01:03:51Definitely.
01:03:53Something I want to know about you...
01:03:56I feel like...
01:03:57You 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?
01:04:11Loving.
01:04:13Caring.
01:04:14Hopeful.
01:04:15Excited.
01:04:16Happy.
01:04:17Do you think I've seen any of those qualities so far?
01:04:21No.
01:04:22You 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, 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.
01:04:44I feel like I got a lot off my chest.
01:05:01I feel like I got a lot off my chest.
01:05:01I feel like I got a lot off my chest.
01:05:02I feel like I got a lot off my chest.
01:05:03I feel like I got a lot off my chest.
01:05:04I feel like I got a lot off my chest.
01:05:08I feel like I got a lot off my chest.
01:05:23and left after a fraught lunch with their family and friends
