00:00:00I have to pay you, sorry.
00:00:02Previously, an emotionally charged commitment ceremony...
00:00:06I'm out, I'm out.
00:00:08...saw Gia make an abrupt exit, blindsiding Scott.
00:00:12Where is she?
00:00:13She's gone.
00:00:15No, she's not.
00:00:18What do you mean?
00:00:19And while most of our couples made significant progress...
00:00:23I could just feel our relationship start, like, take this trajectory.
00:00:27It was really connecting.
00:00:30He meant business, yeah.
00:00:31Yeah, we broke the friend zone.
00:00:33So we're out of the friend zone, I was like, right?
00:00:34Yeah.
00:00:35Proud mama.
00:00:36I'm falling for you.
00:00:38Melissa, how does that feel to hear that?
00:00:40It's really nice.
00:00:42Like, it's really nice.
00:00:44Then...
00:00:45I don't think this experiment is for me.
00:00:47A snuff decision saw Juliet end her marriage to Joel...
00:00:51...before she made one final parting shot...
00:00:54...exposing Bec for sending scathing text messages.
00:00:58I have screenshots of what you've said about Alyssa and David.
00:01:04It was vile.
00:01:22So tonight, Juliet felt passionate enough to send me the receipts...
00:01:28...that she was going to show the experts about the language that was used behind my back, mine and David's
00:01:37back.
00:01:37And I can tell you right now that what I just read was disgusting.
00:01:45I'm actually pretty dumbfounded.
00:01:49Like, I thought there were going to be some nasty messages, but not that sort of language.
00:01:55Disgusting was...
00:01:56It's sickening.
00:01:59It's all here.
00:02:02Wow.
00:02:13It's a brand new day in the experiment.
00:02:16And this morning, the mood is light for some of our couples.
00:02:20Good morning.
00:02:21Morning.
00:02:22Cappuccino extra chocolate.
00:02:24What a man, what a man, what a mighty good man.
00:02:26Do I look sexy?
00:02:27Yeah.
00:02:28You're giving, like, hate me like one of your French girls kind of vibes.
00:02:33Do I have less clothes on, though?
00:02:35Yes, you do.
00:02:38Cheers.
00:02:39Cheers.
00:02:39Cheers.
00:02:40Cheers to a productive commitment ceremony.
00:02:44Yeah, it was very productive.
00:02:45It was very good.
00:02:46Philip and I, we feel great.
00:02:48Like, we're back in our love bubble after our couch session.
00:02:51Last night's commitment ceremony uncovered some previously unseen insecurities for Stella.
00:02:58Philip has shared to you that he's falling in love with you.
00:03:01What specifically did that feel like for you, hearing that?
00:03:06It felt...
00:03:08This can't be true.
00:03:10And a distance grew between the couple.
00:03:14How is the physical intimacy with one another?
00:03:18It's just not happening.
00:03:23I'm not on any birth control, and he's terrified for an accident to happen.
00:03:29So I was like, maybe just do a snip.
00:03:35But despite the challenges, their ability to self-reflect...
00:03:40I don't want to push him away, but, like, that's what kind of happens in the background.
00:03:45...brought them back together.
00:03:48Him dropping, you know, the I love you really spooked me, scared me.
00:03:53But to understand that he's still choosing to, like, hey, like, let's get back on track.
00:03:58It's confirming, you know, that stability that he can offer me.
00:04:03It's a lot, you know?
00:04:04So, yeah, I know.
00:04:05Great t-shirt, eh?
00:04:08She keep that on.
00:04:09I know.
00:04:10She tattooed that on you for you.
00:04:11Why just wear a t-shirt?
00:04:13Hands the t-shirt.
00:04:17Yeah, look, but I appreciate you being patient with me.
00:04:20It's fine.
00:04:20No hard feelings.
00:04:21And that was yesterday.
00:04:22And then this morning or today, we're just fresh.
00:04:25I'm definitely a lover.
00:04:26I hug.
00:04:27I just...
00:04:28I hug, you know?
00:04:30So, yeah, it's good to be back on track.
00:04:32And if that commitment ceremony was...
00:04:33If there was anything to go by, it makes me appreciate what Stella and I have got going on.
00:04:38All in all, I think that that ceremony was very productive.
00:04:41It was worthy.
00:04:42It was good.
00:04:43And I'm glad that the vasectives out of question.
00:04:46Yeah.
00:04:47Balls are going to be intact.
00:04:49Nothing's happening there.
00:04:50All right.
00:04:52As some couples revel in their progress, it's a different story for others, following last
00:04:58night's intense commitment ceremony, which ended with a dramatic disappearance of one
00:05:04of the brides.
00:05:06I'm going to get to the toilet.
00:05:07I have to pee.
00:05:09I have to pee.
00:05:11Sorry.
00:05:13No, I've got to pee.
00:05:16I want to go home.
00:05:20Where is she?
00:05:22She's gone.
00:05:26Well, she's not.
00:05:29What do you mean?
00:05:30She grabbed her stuff before and she asked for her over.
00:05:37And after leaving Scott alone and confused, Gia returned to the apartments last night.
00:05:45You good?
00:05:46Yeah.
00:05:47You going good, Gia?
00:05:52I walked out of the commitment ceremony because it was a lot.
00:05:57In the screenshot drama, it kind of just all spiraled and I had to remove myself.
00:06:03And I didn't tell Scott because he pissed me off.
00:06:07You know, we had our couch session.
00:06:09We managed to get through it.
00:06:10But I was like inside, like not okay with it.
00:06:13Him not being on the same page in terms of the love thing.
00:06:18So have you fallen in love with him?
00:06:21I'm not saying that, John.
00:06:23What are you waiting for?
00:06:24Him.
00:06:26Yeah, because I feel like he knows where I'm at.
00:06:29And I need him to say it first, to be honest.
00:06:35For me, like, I don't know what it is.
00:06:36Like, I don't know whether I'm scared or it's fear.
00:06:39I don't know what it is.
00:06:42And when Scott returned home from the commitment ceremony last night, Gia revealed her feelings to him.
00:06:50Right now, I'm a bit numb, confused.
00:06:57Don't know how I feel.
00:06:58I don't know.
00:06:59Because, like, Gia's a beautiful person and I like her so damn much.
00:07:05I thought her relationship is on a really good level and I just, I don't know what more to give
00:07:11to show that I care about her and that I'm in this experience for her.
00:07:15Like, I'll be honest, I feel like you just don't realise how much I really like you.
00:07:26I feel gross that I feel more than you do and it's just made me feel a bit, um, stupid,
00:07:34to be honest.
00:07:35Do you hear what you're saying, Gia?
00:07:37This is how I feel, yeah.
00:07:38Do you feel stupid that you liked me more than I like you?
00:07:41Can't you just let me go at my own pace?
00:07:45I don't want to look like I'm too in and somewhat isn't.
00:07:50So, no.
00:07:51Like, you need to come, you need to come step up as well.
00:07:55Um, I don't want to get to final vows, feeling this way about someone and you say, oh, you're my
00:08:01soulmate.
00:08:01Yeah, I'm falling in love with you for weeks and then you don't get there.
00:08:04Then to me, it feels like you played me a bit.
00:08:07Okay.
00:08:08This is the problem.
00:08:09That's what it sounds like.
00:08:11That's how I'm interpreting it.
00:08:12What makes you feel like I'm playing you when every single day you and I sit down and we plan
00:08:16our future outside this experiment?
00:08:18We've been looking on properties to rent together.
00:08:21We've been looking at what we're going to do with your daughter, putting it in school.
00:08:23Does that not show commitment to the relationship, Gia?
00:08:26I need to say I love you.
00:08:28That's what you're telling me.
00:08:29I'm getting so pressured right now in this environment.
00:08:31I'm not pressuring you.
00:08:33You are.
00:08:33No, I don't want you to say it anymore, Scott.
00:08:37I'm not going to sit here and beg for love.
00:08:38I'm not that person.
00:08:39I'm never going to be that kind of girl.
00:08:41I'm sorry.
00:08:43I'm just not like that.
00:08:45I can't be in love with someone who's not in love with me.
00:08:47That's just not going to happen.
00:08:49And if he feels like he's blindsided by that, so be it.
00:08:52If you're not in love, buddy, just say it.
00:08:55Just say it's you, darling.
00:08:57I don't...
00:08:58I'm not in love with you.
00:08:59I'm not going to respond to the way you're talking to me right now.
00:09:01You don't need to blame...
00:09:04Listen to how you're talking to me.
00:09:06It is what it is.
00:09:08Just f***ing us.
00:09:09Stay in the way.
00:09:11At the end of the day, I've got to protect myself.
00:09:12And if you're not there, then I'm leaving.
00:09:17Anyways, I'm going to go for a walk.
00:09:42It makes me emotional to think that this can really tear apart very quickly.
00:09:48Like, why not just let me take my time because I'm falling?
00:09:52But this stuff doesn't make me fall.
00:09:55It makes me concerned.
00:09:56It makes me retract.
00:09:58It makes me doubt.
00:09:59It makes me fear.
00:10:05It does not make sense.
00:10:06I'm so freaking confused.
00:10:12I don't know what to do anymore.
00:10:17Meanwhile, our other couples are still shocked by Juliet's revelation of the text sent by Beck.
00:10:24These bloody text messages, they've caught everyone by surprise.
00:10:28I think Gia just always keeps pushing about how she's out of the drama.
00:10:32Keeps making a point that she's so over it.
00:10:34I couldn't believe...
00:10:35I was really taken aback by all of that.
00:10:37We've got a plethora of words in the English language.
00:10:41There's no use to use nasty ones to express how you're feeling.
00:10:47But down the hall, Beck is squarely laying the blame on Gia.
00:10:53Gia went to the effort of this week sending a screenshot of that group chat to Juliet.
00:11:00She's a vicious, vicious, vile little cow.
00:11:03Earlier on in this experiment, I was expressing my frustration to people I thought were my friends.
00:11:10But the texts aren't relevant.
00:11:12The problem is Gia.
00:11:14You're the one that's instigated it.
00:11:15You're the one that sent them.
00:11:17She takes no accountability for her actions.
00:11:19She actually...
00:11:20I believe that she doesn't actually even think that she's done anything wrong.
00:11:23It must be hard living in a brain like that because she is vicious.
00:11:27It's a pretty sad state of affair.
00:11:29She's got a lot of work to do on herself.
00:11:31A, it's irrelevant.
00:11:32And B, it's Gia.
00:11:35She's the engine room of all the drama.
00:11:37When someone shows you who they really are, you've got to believe them.
00:11:41But unbeknownst to Beck...
00:11:49I can understand why Gia felt the need to tell me why she sent these messages to Juliet to discuss
00:11:56them on the couch
00:11:57because, yeah, I didn't realise how bad they were.
00:12:03Beck said,
00:12:04I'm going to go so hard on Alyssa and her fake relationship.
00:12:16You know what?
00:12:17Alyssa probably isn't a bad girl, but her head is so far up, her fucking arsehole,
00:12:23she doesn't even realise what a fuck she actually is.
00:12:30I'm sorry.
00:12:31This is like...
00:12:32It's just absolutely nice.
00:12:36Um...
00:12:37Anyways...
00:12:38It gets worse.
00:12:41Beck then goes on to say...
00:12:44The only fake in this place are those two influencer wannabe...
00:12:52Wow.
00:12:55Still to come...
00:12:58The next critical phase of the experiment
00:13:02begins...
00:13:03Oh, no.
00:13:04You ready?
00:13:04Yeah.
00:13:05Hit me.
00:13:06It's feedback week.
00:13:07Oh, yes!
00:13:09So glad it's you!
00:13:11How do you think I approach this with Chris?
00:13:15So, do you think, like, this would be an ongoing problem?
00:13:18If she can't manage her emotions...
00:13:20I know.
00:13:21How will the couples handle receiving raw, unfiltered feedback from their peers?
00:13:26I don't really care what anyone's feedback is.
00:13:28There's no one here's relationship that I want to copy.
00:13:31I'm not joking.
00:13:32This experiment is full of shit.
00:13:34Is Gia about to pull the pin on the entire experiment?
00:13:39And then...
00:13:41I did not want to see Beck today.
00:13:43What happens when Beck comes face to face with David after those text messages?
00:13:49The comments were vile, disgusting, like, mean and vicious.
00:13:53But how do you know what they were?
00:13:55We've seen them.
00:14:05Our couples are about to embark on one of the most important phases of the experiment.
00:14:11Feedback week.
00:14:13And this year, it's starting with a surprise.
00:14:19Hooray!
00:14:23Chris and Sam.
00:14:25You ready?
00:14:26Yeah.
00:14:26You look nervous.
00:14:27I am a little bit nervous.
00:14:29Okay.
00:14:30Oh, hit me.
00:14:33As you know, the experiment is entering its final weeks.
00:14:36However, being with your partner day in and day out can make it tough to have a clear perspective
00:14:41on how your relationship is tracking and what you need to work on.
00:14:44Sometimes you need to step back and see things from a different angle.
00:14:49So today, you will part ways with each other for a few hours as you meet with another participant
00:14:54in the experiment to seek advice and feedback from someone who has been observing your relationship
00:14:58from afar.
00:14:59Oh, God.
00:15:02Oh, God.
00:15:29This year, the participants won't know who they are meeting in the experiment at the
00:15:33partner swap.
00:15:34We wanted to create an environment that was real and raw, without any time to think about
00:15:40what they wanted to say or feedback they claim to give.
00:15:44Instead, giving invaluable perspectives in the moment.
00:15:48I'm shitting myself.
00:15:50Hey.
00:15:51You know what?
00:15:52I'm actually really excited.
00:15:54Maybe you might be the difference, Stella, to make someone see, open their eyes in a certain
00:15:58way that they haven't really seen their partner, you know?
00:16:00Yeah.
00:16:01It'd be good.
00:16:02But I don't want to offend anyone.
00:16:03That's the thing.
00:16:03Like, I feel like my thoughts are very hard to truth.
00:16:08For Sam, the chance to speak to another participant for feedback is a welcome surprise.
00:16:14I feel like if it was a few hours, it wouldn't be very daunting to anyone.
00:16:17Yeah.
00:16:19And I feel like it would be good to get more like a non-biased opinion.
00:16:24This partner swap task couldn't have come at a better time.
00:16:27Chris and I are in a good spot and, like, things are going well.
00:16:31But I'm going to be honest, at the commitment ceremony, Chris said some things that blindsided
00:16:35me a little bit.
00:16:37Are you starting to think about life outside the experiment?
00:16:41I think what it would probably look like is just, like, say we go, well, everything ticks
00:16:45the boxes, we'd have a place in Sydney.
00:16:47So he'd go to Sydney.
00:16:48I would stay primarily at the farm and then maybe we can float back and forth for a bit
00:16:52from Sydney to the farm.
00:16:54How?
00:16:54Someone's been thinking about this.
00:16:55Well, yeah.
00:16:56I want a bit of detail.
00:16:57I think that's what it would look like.
00:17:00That was the first time I heard that plan.
00:17:03And it makes me feel like maybe I'm not really being heard, nor have I really maybe had a
00:17:08voice in how it's going to work after the experiment, which is a bit of a concern for me.
00:17:12So it'll be, yeah, nice to just talk honestly with someone about this today.
00:17:17And get a third party opinion on what we should, how we should tackle these big topics.
00:17:24Cool.
00:17:25All right.
00:17:25Well, I'm going to go.
00:17:26Have fun.
00:17:29Don't talk too much smack about me.
00:17:30I will.
00:17:31Absolute trash.
00:17:34For Gia and Scott, the mood is tense as they receive the partner swap task.
00:17:42After they argued over the progression of their feelings.
00:17:46Oh, God.
00:17:50Yeah, today it's just flat.
00:17:52Okay.
00:17:54We didn't really go into discussion.
00:17:56After that argument, I just let Gia cool off and get herself back together.
00:18:05But it hurts.
00:18:09Because she doesn't realise how much I really like her.
00:18:14Like, we're looking at places already, houses to rent.
00:18:17I'm showing and representing myself as a true father to a daughter.
00:18:21What more can I do to show how much I'm into someone?
00:18:24So, I don't know.
00:18:25I don't know what to do at the moment.
00:18:28Because all I can do is be here for her.
00:18:30That's all I can do.
00:18:33It's a fucking cobble swap.
00:18:36Can't believe we've got this today.
00:18:40Scott and I are not in a position to be accepting that.
00:18:44I don't see how that could be positive on our relationship.
00:18:48I don't think anyone has the ability to give someone some good constructive feedback either.
00:18:54I don't really care what anyone's feedback is.
00:18:57I'm like, there's no one here's relationship that I want to copy.
00:19:02I need, like, answers on it.
00:19:04Like, like, literally who?
00:19:06Like, I need to know who it is.
00:19:08I need to know who.
00:19:09Because if we had to do this with Beck and Danny, I don't want to do it.
00:19:13I'm not doing it.
00:19:15I don't even want to go get ready for it and do all that if it's someone else.
00:19:18It's a waste of my time.
00:19:18To be honest, out of this, the couples left in the experiment, there's six couples including us.
00:19:28So the majority of couples we get along with, if it's only a couple of hours, I don't see any
00:19:35harm.
00:19:36Well, it's a few hours.
00:19:38It's like three or four.
00:19:39It's not bad.
00:19:41Well, I just, like, don't feel the need of, like, getting ready to go and then ends up being someone
00:19:44I hate and just makes my, ruin my day.
00:19:48It's harmless.
00:19:50Yep.
00:19:50It is harmless.
00:19:52You're just giving each other feedback.
00:19:54I'm trying to support Gia, protect her, look after her, tell her I'm here every step of the way.
00:20:00But, like, I can see the purpose of this task because the only people that have really seen the relationship
00:20:06in this experience are the other participants.
00:20:09And I wish Gia could understand, don't look at negatives to outweigh the positives.
00:20:14Because we are going through some rough patches at the moment.
00:20:17So they might give some feedback that could help us as a couple.
00:20:24Are we doing it?
00:20:25I think we should go.
00:20:28At least it's only a day.
00:20:30A few hours.
00:20:30A few hours, that's all right.
00:20:33All right.
00:20:36Let's go get ready.
00:20:41Down the hall, the partner swap task has arrived at a pivotal time for Bec and Danny.
00:20:47As despite Bec's drama with the other brides, their commitment ceremony was revelatory for their relationship.
00:20:56So describe your feelings for him.
00:20:59Where are we at right now?
00:21:00Bec?
00:21:04F*** it.
00:21:05I love you.
00:21:14I don't even know what to say to that.
00:21:21But the prospect of receiving feedback from an outside perspective is still not sitting well with Bec.
00:21:30Like, um, I'm nervous.
00:21:35Just going to be open and honest.
00:21:38There's no way you can really approach it, is there?
00:21:41Do you know what I mean?
00:21:42Just go in there, be open and honest.
00:21:44Have a good chat.
00:21:47The problem for me is, is the people here that I don't trust, that I won't speak to.
00:21:51Like, I'll fluff around it.
00:21:53And that's just the reality of it.
00:21:55No, I still think you should be honest.
00:21:57No way.
00:21:58Absolutely not.
00:21:59You think I'm going to go and sit with Scott and tell him truth?
00:22:02You're joking.
00:22:03You must be joking.
00:22:05True, but...
00:22:06You're joking, because all that does is get used against me.
00:22:09So no, I won't.
00:22:10Over my dead body, am I going to be truthful?
00:22:13So what are you going to do?
00:22:14Just not tell him nothing?
00:22:15No, just lie.
00:22:17If I match with Scott for having this conversation, there's zero chance that I'm going to be honest with Scott.
00:22:23It's just the way it is.
00:22:24Sorry.
00:22:25Don't trust him.
00:22:27They use things against you when you've, you know, like, no.
00:22:32So, yeah.
00:22:35I can tell your energy's off.
00:22:37No, I'm not into it.
00:22:39Babe, relax.
00:22:40It's going to be all right.
00:22:41It's one of these tasks.
00:22:42You've just got to roll with it.
00:22:44Come on.
00:22:45Stay positive.
00:22:46Daddy, tell me how are you feeling about this task?
00:22:49I feel good.
00:22:50I feel calm and composed, like always.
00:22:53Nothing ruffles my feathers.
00:22:55Do you know what you mean?
00:22:56Is there anyone that you're worried that it might be?
00:23:01Probably, I'd probably rather it not be Gia,
00:23:03but if it is, it's not going to bother me too much.
00:23:06I'll still roll up.
00:23:07She could probably actually give me some good advice, to be honest.
00:23:10And I'll be brutally honest today in the feedback that I'm given.
00:23:19Don't you stress about it.
00:23:21I am stressed about it.
00:23:22It's shitter for me than it is for you.
00:23:24No, it's not.
00:23:24Of course it is.
00:23:26Don't be silly.
00:23:26Of course it is.
00:23:28I'm over it.
00:23:32I can't be bothered.
00:23:35I need to go out and take a breather.
00:24:00What's happening to you?
00:24:04The thing that bothers me is, like, the idea of, like, of, like, my husband telling someone
00:24:11else things that he's worried about in our relationship.
00:24:15And who is that person?
00:24:18And compounding Beck's resistance to the task is Danny's lukewarm response to her admission
00:24:25of love last night.
00:24:27Do you know what else bothers me?
00:24:29Yesterday when he ummed and I'd, that just killed me.
00:24:33That was just shit.
00:24:35Yeah.
00:24:36It's just a sense of rejection.
00:24:40I just, I just regret telling him that I loved him.
00:24:44I wish I didn't do that.
00:24:46He's got all the power in this relationship now.
00:24:50All of it.
00:24:57It's feedback week, and our participants are meeting their anonymous matches for the partner
00:25:03swap.
00:25:03I'm so proud of you.
00:25:06Oh, my God.
00:25:12And after successfully convincing wife, Gia, to take part in the task, Scott is on the
00:25:18way to his catch-up for an outside perspective on his relationship.
00:25:22I'm always up for a challenge.
00:25:23I'm always up to hear what people have to say.
00:25:25Gia and I have only just started to have some problems.
00:25:29And I'm just so confused.
00:25:31So, this is a perfect time for some feedback.
00:25:36But at the moment, all I'm thinking about is how I don't want to see back with Danny.
00:25:42For both of mine and Gia's sake, I'm more than happy to go with anyone.
00:25:47But please don't let it be your Beck or Danny.
00:25:58Hello.
00:25:58Hi!
00:26:00Go on.
00:26:01Oh, f***.
00:26:02I was like, this sounds cool.
00:26:04Like, if it's not Beck and Danny, that's fine.
00:26:06Oh, no.
00:26:07I was like, I would have been so uncomfortable, I would have just walked out.
00:26:09Oh, God.
00:26:10It's good that you're here.
00:26:11I know, right?
00:26:12But I...
00:26:13Cheers.
00:26:14Release.
00:26:14Cheers.
00:26:15I'm like, that's a weight off my shoulder.
00:26:16Oh, you poor thing.
00:26:18My reaction to having Stella, I'm quite happy with that.
00:26:21How are you?
00:26:22I'm good now.
00:26:23I was like, f*** out.
00:26:24Yeah.
00:26:25I've got a pretty good relationship with Stella.
00:26:26She's always good to talk to.
00:26:28She's pretty calm and collective.
00:26:29And there's no doubt about it that Philip and Stella share something really special.
00:26:34You know, their maturity, the way they work through tough times.
00:26:38I really admire it.
00:26:39So, maybe she'll get some good insights about my relationship and vice versa.
00:26:47Right.
00:26:48How are we feeling?
00:26:48Where do we start?
00:26:50Seeing Scott was great.
00:26:52He has a lot of great qualities that you would want in a man, in a friend.
00:26:57You know, knowing that Phil and Scott also have some sort of relationship is also reassuring
00:27:02because I can trust his opinion as well.
00:27:05And I do want to give as best advice as I can feel I can give to him as a
00:27:10person.
00:27:12So, like, I guess just, where are you and Philip at?
00:27:15So, you guys are good now?
00:27:16Like, you guys have since the couch?
00:27:19We talked about it.
00:27:20Like, let's put, you know, what's in the past, you know, whatever.
00:27:23But it's hard because every time he says, I love you, I was like, really?
00:27:27Like, I'm questioning it.
00:27:29Like, it's just something, again, from the past that's coming in my mind.
00:27:33Like, so, will he have enough patience, you know, with me working through the old fears?
00:27:37It's just something where, like, you guys communicate.
00:27:39Yeah, we do.
00:27:40We do communicate so well.
00:27:41Yeah, so, like, he's very calm and understanding and he's not the type to just be aggressive.
00:27:46He's in love with the person you are.
00:27:48So, I think he has patience.
00:27:50Yeah, I think he's that.
00:27:50So, like, I think it's just him being able to accept these moments that you have.
00:27:53Yeah.
00:27:54And him understanding when you retract, it's just for a moment.
00:27:57Yeah.
00:27:57And for him to not run away.
00:27:58Yeah.
00:27:59So, it's good to see that manly perspective and good to confirm that, okay, I can relax.
00:28:05He's good.
00:28:06Yeah, he's good.
00:28:07He's amazing.
00:28:07I love Philip.
00:28:07I know.
00:28:08I love him too.
00:28:09If you don't love him, I will.
00:28:10No, no, I don't.
00:28:11Yeah.
00:28:11He reassured me that Philip is the right person for me to unpack my baggage about my old fears.
00:28:18That he does have the tools to work with this.
00:28:25What's going on with you?
00:28:26Um, so, Gia left the other night.
00:28:33Are you guys okay?
00:28:34We're okay now.
00:28:35Okay.
00:28:35Yes.
00:28:36Um, but, to be honest, this is probably the roughest time we're at right now.
00:28:42Hmm.
00:28:43What happened?
00:28:44Are you okay to talk about it?
00:28:46Yes.
00:28:46Well, what's what I'm here for?
00:28:47Well, I need your perspective, because I didn't know that she was feeling this way.
00:28:51Obviously, Gia's felt like she's pretty much there, like, in love with me, but she's not going to tell me
00:28:55because I need to say it first.
00:28:56And I've been honest.
00:28:58I said, I'm not there yet, but I am falling.
00:29:00But when I hear stuff like, you know, if you don't feel the same in the next couple of weeks,
00:29:05I'm out.
00:29:06Okay.
00:29:07That, to me, makes me scared and pressured.
00:29:10It's an ultimatum.
00:29:11Yeah, pretty much.
00:29:13Oh, dear.
00:29:14And it's stressing me out so much.
00:29:16Then, just because she's there and I'm not, it hurts her.
00:29:19Hmm.
00:29:19So, like, and she's not used to that.
00:29:21But it shouldn't.
00:29:22Because you're giving what she needs in terms of the time, the communication, affection, and all.
00:29:29Like, she has that.
00:29:31So, I think, at the moment, you are not giving her any worries.
00:29:36You're not giving her any drama.
00:29:37She's seeking that drama to fulfill her internal need.
00:29:41Yeah.
00:29:45I was very pleased that he truly opened up about the relationship because, thus far, we only saw the rainbows
00:29:50and butterflies.
00:29:52No.
00:29:52I think I can be honest with Scott.
00:29:54I think Gia needs that external drama.
00:29:57But the fact that she's almost forcing him to say, I love you, while in the experiment, all she's doing
00:30:02is just deflecting.
00:30:06How to put it?
00:30:08So, for me, what came out, like, my biggest fear of, like, fear of abandonment, right?
00:30:11So, that fear is within me.
00:30:13I don't know how to explain it.
00:30:15But, like, you kind of, you're looking for, in your outside world, in your relationships, you're looking for confirmation of
00:30:22your beliefs.
00:30:23So, she's looking for confirmation of that drama.
00:30:29It's so interesting.
00:30:31Like, there's this internal parasite that just keeps showing up.
00:30:36She does say that she wants to stop the drama.
00:30:39But, with the same breath, it's keeping continuations.
00:30:42So, now she's bringing it into the relationship.
00:30:48How do I ask this in a question, like, for what you see in Gia, is this going to happen
00:30:58outside the experiment?
00:31:01Like, do you think, like, this would be an ongoing problem?
00:31:10This is going to be the same.
00:31:12Yeah.
00:31:12If she can't manage her emotions and her emotional turmoil, what she's experiencing right now, which is very secluded, it's
00:31:20a bubble.
00:31:20We insulate it.
00:31:22We don't have any pressures.
00:31:24We don't have the pressures of you working, of her working, of the children getting involved.
00:31:30So, I think that's probably a very deep conversation that you probably would need to have.
00:31:37Yeah.
00:31:38It's hard, yeah.
00:31:39I just...
00:31:41Because, like...
00:31:44And it worries me because I know she's such...
00:31:46She's got such a good side of her and a very good soul.
00:31:49And that's why I said at the dinner party, I said, like, she's my soulmate.
00:31:53Because everything we do together, when we're together, is so perfectly aligned.
00:31:56It is great.
00:31:57But this other shit does interact.
00:32:00Yeah.
00:32:00And I never thought of it until now.
00:32:04Having this conversation with Stella, it's made my relationship seem a bit more clear.
00:32:08It's giving me concerns.
00:32:10What Stella's made clear to me is, this is Gia's package.
00:32:14Am I able to handle Gia's like to being involved in drama and stuff like that?
00:32:19And, you know, maybe I should ask Gia if there's any past she wants to bring up that's made her
00:32:24want to be involved in this stuff.
00:32:28Actually, I got you a present.
00:32:30Sorry, I'm in my little crystals, you know?
00:32:32Oh, my God.
00:32:33This is cute.
00:32:37Okay, so, Blue Quartz.
00:32:40Blue Quartz.
00:32:41Enhances organisational abilities, self-discipline, and helps to improve one's communication skills, including communication from the higher self.
00:32:48Yeah, your future self, like.
00:32:51To be honest, the advice I got was quite reasonable, I feel.
00:32:55That's so nice.
00:32:56Oh, my God, I'll keep this forever.
00:32:58Thank you so much.
00:32:58Pleasure.
00:33:00Definitely going to take it on board.
00:33:02And I hope Gia does too.
00:33:03I just need to deliver it the right way for her to not feel offended.
00:33:07Well, cheers.
00:33:07Well, cheers.
00:33:08I've finished my drink.
00:33:10We've had a great discussion, I mean.
00:33:12Fingers crossed, it goes the right way.
00:33:18As Scott remains optimistic, back at the apartments.
00:33:28Gia, just explain to us what's happening, Gia.
00:33:34Despite agreeing to participate in the task.
00:33:37Yeah.
00:33:38There's been a shocking turn of events for Gia.
00:33:43What's happening, Gia.
00:33:45What's happening, Gia?
00:33:49What you have to do is explain.
00:33:53It's, I'm not, I'm not doing it.
00:33:56You guys can all **** yourselves at this point.
00:33:59I don't know why the **** this is an important thing to do today.
00:34:03This experiment is bullshit.
00:34:06And I don't really care what the experts have to say.
00:34:16The partner swap is underway, where our couples have been tasked to meet with a fellow participant
00:34:22in the experiment for another perspective on their relationship.
00:34:26And Sam is seeking some relationship insight from Philip, following concerns over Chris
00:34:32outlining their plans for the future without consulting him.
00:34:36Like, I know that Chris, like, has a lot.
00:34:38Obviously, I just play it with, like, kids on the way and the farm and stuff.
00:34:41But absolutely.
00:34:42Did you see the commitment ceremony when he was like, I know how it will work.
00:34:46Sam will come to Sydney and then we'll do this.
00:34:48We had not spoken about that plan, like, at all.
00:34:51Like, it has not come up in any way, shape or form.
00:34:54Yes.
00:34:55So, for me to sit on the couch and be like, oh, okay, that's how this is going to work.
00:34:58Like, not even a conversation we made.
00:35:00I just, I think what I'm struggling with is not that maybe that's where it ends up.
00:35:04But, like, I just feel like I didn't get a say or a voice at all.
00:35:07I feel for Sammy as a lack of empathy.
00:35:10Like, where, you know, it's just assumed that we're going to be doing this and this is how
00:35:13it's going to work, you know.
00:35:15It's kind of parallel with myself and Stella and how she does have a little bit of a,
00:35:19kind of like a stern way of saying things, you know.
00:35:22But we spoke about it.
00:35:24And we've come out through it strong.
00:35:26Hopefully, that can give him some insight.
00:35:28And there's a little bit of compromise there.
00:35:30I feel for you, man.
00:35:32And when he did drop that at the commitment ceremony, he was like, oh, okay, cool.
00:35:36We haven't really spoken about it.
00:35:36Did you have this chat with him after?
00:35:38Is that something you brought up with him or no?
00:35:40I said to myself, like, I would bring it up with him.
00:35:44I was just kind of like, I don't know, sometimes just avoid conflict, right?
00:35:48It's going to be a tough conversation.
00:35:51You really need to verbalise what your plans are, because it's a partnership.
00:35:56So the silver lining is that you can work at this for the next few months, potentially.
00:36:00You need to have more, say, kind of draw it up in real time and just go, how is it
00:36:04going
00:36:04to look like it?
00:36:05In what time frame?
00:36:07You know, like, kids, how it's going to work and all this kind of stuff.
00:36:12And yeah, you just, you need to be heard and your feelings need to be considered.
00:36:15As Phil was talking, I started to realise that he's right.
00:36:19I need to stand on my own two feet and speak to Chris and tell him everything I want to
00:36:23say.
00:36:24I just really want to be heard, like, to be empathised with this relationship.
00:36:29Man, this relationship should start, marriage starts hard, isn't it?
00:36:31It is.
00:36:32We should get more drinks.
00:36:33Let's do it.
00:36:34Yeah.
00:36:35As Sam finds clarity in Philip's advice, across town, Danny has arrived to meet his mystery
00:36:43pairing.
00:36:45I'm really going to soak myself into this task.
00:36:48Bec's an amazing wife and I'm really enjoying the journey I'm on with her.
00:36:52But she has told me she loves me and I haven't said it back to her.
00:36:56Because, yeah, I'm not there yet.
00:36:58So that does play heavy on my mind.
00:37:01That's put a pressure on me, which I don't really know how to navigate my way through.
00:37:07The last thing I want to do is hurt Bec.
00:37:09So I'd probably like to get some advice on that from a third party.
00:37:13I actually think that could really help me.
00:37:14Because I've obviously just been going through it in my head.
00:37:17But it will actually be good to get advice from someone else.
00:37:22I don't really care who it is, to be honest.
00:37:25You could go and meet someone who you really don't want it to be, but they could actually
00:37:29give you the best advice in life.
00:37:33Sometimes, you know, a homeless man on the street could give you better advice than a billionaire.
00:37:38And that is true.
00:37:40So, yeah, I'll listen to anyone and I'll sit there and be open, honest and vulnerable and
00:37:45have a good chat.
00:37:56But unbeknownst to Danny, his match is refusing to participate in the task.
00:38:04I'm not doing it.
00:38:07You guys can all f*** yourselves at this point.
00:38:11I don't know why the f*** this is an important thing to do today.
00:38:17So you don't want to find out who it is?
00:38:19No.
00:38:22Because I've got a feeling it's going to be Bec or Danny.
00:38:34How long are we going to be waiting?
00:38:43There's a lose-lose situation.
00:38:45There's no win-win situation if it is Bec or Danny.
00:38:50This is awkward.
00:39:00Okay, Danny.
00:39:03The participant who is going to give you some feedback is no longer coming.
00:39:07All right.
00:39:08What is that?
00:39:10They have decided they don't want to participate in the noise.
00:39:13That's cool.
00:39:15That's what we're doing, just chilling.
00:39:19Who was it?
00:39:21It was Gia.
00:39:23Fair enough.
00:39:25She done a runner.
00:39:27Coming up, Bec and David address those texts.
00:39:32In those text messages, I wasn't rude about you.
00:39:35I wasn't rude about Alyssa.
00:39:37I am shocked.
00:39:39I felt like the comments were vile, disgusting.
00:39:43But how do you know what they were?
00:39:47Um, we've seen them.
00:40:02Okay, Danny.
00:40:05The participant who is going to give you some feedback is no longer coming.
00:40:09All right.
00:40:10Why is that?
00:40:12They have decided they don't want to participate in the noise.
00:40:16That's cool.
00:40:17So what are we doing, just chilling?
00:40:21Who was it?
00:40:23It was Gia.
00:40:25Fair enough.
00:40:28She done a runner.
00:40:31Gia, Gia, Gia.
00:40:32She's done it again, isn't she?
00:40:34Like, she's gone sprinting at the commitment ceremony.
00:40:38She's gone sprinting today.
00:40:40She's a sprinter.
00:40:41You know what I mean?
00:40:42I'm going to rename her Usain Bolt.
00:40:45There's no way to do this properly if it is Bec or Danny.
00:40:49There's just no way.
00:40:50And I felt like it was going to be them.
00:40:52And I just had to choose myself.
00:40:56It's cowardly.
00:40:57That's what it is.
00:40:58Thanks so much.
00:40:59But she couldn't risk it.
00:41:01She probably thought there's a slim chance she was going to get me.
00:41:04So, obviously for her, it would be very confronting to turn up
00:41:08and sit across the table and look at a man in the eyes who you've lied about.
00:41:13Do you know what you mean?
00:41:15So, what you saw today was a guilty conscience.
00:41:19There is no winning.
00:41:20Because if I walk out, she'll manipulate the situation.
00:41:23If I sit with her, she'll manipulate me.
00:41:24There's no way around this.
00:41:26They're horrible people.
00:41:28And I do not want to be in the presence of those kinds of people.
00:41:31They're in a fake relationship.
00:41:34I feel a bit disappointed.
00:41:37This task has been taken away from me.
00:41:39And I feel that it's a disrespect to the experiment, to the experts,
00:41:43and to the other participants, if you don't give it 100%.
00:41:48I don't really care what the experts have to say.
00:41:50I just don't want to put myself in a position where I'm not actually doing anything productive for my relationship.
00:41:55I'm not having a good conversation and getting feedback.
00:41:58I'm just arguing with somebody.
00:42:00And I just don't see the point in doing that.
00:42:04To be honest, I'd probably rather chat to that wall than I would chat to Jia anyway, so...
00:42:14Back at the apartments, Alyssa and David are about to leave for the partner swap.
00:42:20All right, babe, I'm off to get some feedback.
00:42:23And following the shock revelation of Beck's text messages against them, Alyssa has some parting instructions for David.
00:42:31So, just quickly, before you go, if you are partnered with Danny or Beck,
00:42:36make sure that you don't bring up the text messages yet.
00:42:41OK.
00:42:42That is something that I will clear up later.
00:42:45Let's get feedback for our relationship, but let's not bring up text messages till later.
00:42:49Cool.
00:42:50OK.
00:42:50Easy.
00:42:51OK.
00:42:52David and I are trying to focus on a whole new, fresh start to the week.
00:42:56But it's hard because, obviously, I have mended friendships with both Beck and Jia.
00:43:03But the way that Beck spoke about me in these messages were absolutely vulgar, vicious.
00:43:11And reading that's brought back a lot of hurt.
00:43:14From all the bullying at the start of this experiment that went on for weeks and weeks and weeks.
00:43:19I don't know why everyone hates you, babe.
00:43:21That's why.
00:43:22That's why we don't like you.
00:43:26I'm not everybody's cup of tea.
00:43:27Leave me alone.
00:43:28Oh, shut up.
00:43:30I guarantee you.
00:43:30Ugh.
00:43:32You talk shit about Alyssa non-stop, babe.
00:43:35So, let's pull up the receipt, shall we?
00:43:37Went home for the weekend.
00:43:39Turmoil in the relationship.
00:43:46Like, there has been a lot of this going on, where she's constantly trying to dig, dig,
00:43:52dig, push, push, push.
00:43:53She's relentless.
00:43:54I just want to let you know, there's a bit of chatter around Adelaide about Beck trying
00:44:01to actually dig shit up on Alyssa.
00:44:06Like, it's an active process.
00:44:09There is always something going on.
00:44:14And she hasn't been able to tell me why.
00:44:17What's it to you, Beck, would you say?
00:44:20Why are you talking about their relationship?
00:44:23Do you know what?
00:44:24You're right.
00:44:25And...
00:44:25I know I'm right, but what I don't know is why you're doing that.
00:44:30I actually don't have a reason for it.
00:44:32I'm just tired of it.
00:44:35Because it's been an ongoing thing.
00:44:36I've been in the chat.
00:44:37I've been, you know, in Beck's chat in this whole experiment.
00:44:41Enough is enough.
00:44:42So, I just personally want to go up to Beck and just address this matter.
00:44:46Say, babe, I've seen the receipts.
00:44:48Like, explain yourself.
00:44:50I'll see you soon.
00:44:52Bye.
00:44:52Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye.
00:44:57With Alyssa's request in mind, David is waiting for his match to arrive.
00:45:06Seeing that we do spend most of our time with the people in this experiment,
00:45:11any feedback will help in our relationship, for sure.
00:45:13But at the same time, I don't trust many people in this experiment.
00:45:18So, it's like, yeah, I want some feedback, but at the same time, I'm very, like, wary.
00:45:24So, I'll see what I can take on board.
00:45:28I'm a bit nervous, yeah, because I don't know who I'm spending the day with.
00:45:32I'm just going to, like, rock up and be like, yo, we're about to spend a couple hours together.
00:45:36And, yeah, who knows who it is.
00:45:43Oh, no, you're kidding me.
00:45:48Oh, crap.
00:45:50Oh, my goodness, you're kidding.
00:45:52I did not want to see Beck today.
00:46:05Oh, no, you're kidding me.
00:46:09What's up?
00:46:11I'm actually so glad it's you.
00:46:13Oh, crap.
00:46:14I'm so glad it's you.
00:46:16I did not want to see Beck today.
00:46:19How are you?
00:46:20I'm good.
00:46:20How are you?
00:46:21I'm okay.
00:46:22Not too bad.
00:46:23How are you feeling?
00:46:25Yeah, all right.
00:46:26All right.
00:46:27How are you feeling?
00:46:28I'm all right.
00:46:28I'm a bit nervous.
00:46:30Yeah, I'm a bit nervous as well.
00:46:31Okay.
00:46:31So, we're both nervous.
00:46:32Yeah.
00:46:33I was not, like, expecting it to be you.
00:46:36Expecting me?
00:46:38You're probably like, why is she here?
00:46:40Yeah, low-key.
00:46:41Low-key.
00:46:43I'm feeling very awkward because, obviously, you know, it was fresh in my mind, the text messages
00:46:49that we saw that Beck had sent.
00:46:52But I know that Alyssa wanted to confront Beck herself about the whole situation.
00:46:57So, I'll be cordial with Beck and brush it to the side.
00:47:01Yeah.
00:47:05Anyway, like, let's talk about what we really want, what we're here to talk about.
00:47:12So, yeah, you have some questions for me?
00:47:16Yeah.
00:47:16Do you know what?
00:47:17I was hoping it was you.
00:47:18Why?
00:47:18I wanted to talk to you and Alyssa.
00:47:20I think something that I need to say is, obviously, I've apologized to you guys, right?
00:47:27But it's, it was, it was from the first week that those messages were written.
00:47:35F***.
00:47:37Make sure that you don't bring up the text messages yet.
00:47:42Yeah.
00:47:43That was a group text with Mel, Rebecca, Brooke, Gia and myself.
00:47:48Avoid any conversations.
00:47:50This is feedback week.
00:47:51Let's get feedback for our relationship, but let's not bring up text messages all later.
00:47:55Cool.
00:47:56Okay?
00:47:56Easy.
00:47:57All I'm thinking about is how Alyssa wanted to unpack that with Beck.
00:48:02Gia sent them to Juliet for God knows what reason.
00:48:06This is my worst nightmare.
00:48:07I am, like, I understand that I've been involved in certain aspects.
00:48:13I understand that I take full accountability and responsibility, but, like, the person that
00:48:18keeps on bringing it up, keeps on negating themselves out of that situation and being Alyssa's
00:48:22friend, is Gia.
00:48:25I, I had to hold back because Beck is trying to say she's doing nothing and she's just
00:48:31been influenced by Gia.
00:48:32Yeah.
00:48:33But from what I've seen in the text messages, that's obviously not true.
00:48:38And it's like, I get it.
00:48:40Gia has a problem with me, but she keeps on making it out like it's me, but those conversations
00:48:46started somewhere.
00:48:47And it's just a vendetta, and I understand.
00:48:52What's a vendetta?
00:48:53Is it against me and Alyssa?
00:48:54No, I'm talking about against me.
00:48:57You guys, you guys are always caught in the crossfire, which is unfair.
00:49:01Yeah.
00:49:02I am shocked.
00:49:03Beck is trying to make herself look like a victim.
00:49:06Like, am I in sleep paralysis right now?
00:49:09It's not a shit on Gia day, but, because we've got our relationships to talk about.
00:49:14But, at the centre of everything is Gia.
00:49:18Right?
00:49:19So, she's sending screenshots.
00:49:21It looks like both you and Gia are the centre of everything.
00:49:24Yeah, listen, but, like, I'm being bought into it this time.
00:49:27I'm just finding out more about Gia.
00:49:28But, from what, obviously, till this conversation, all I've seen, if I was being completely honest,
00:49:33is Beck is always the centre of staring the pot in every relationship.
00:49:39Beck is very good at manipulating, and her lack of accountability makes me sick to my stomach.
00:49:45Look, David, it's like, well, in those text messages, I didn't, I wasn't rude about you.
00:49:54I wasn't rude about Alyssa.
00:49:56I was just talking about your relationship.
00:50:01I, right now, I don't know what to do.
00:50:04I feel like I've got ants crawling underneath my skin, and I feel like I want to be outside
00:50:09of my skin, and out on the street, because I read those text messages, you know, that
00:50:15was vicious, you know, that was disgusting.
00:50:18Beck said, her head is so far up, her f***ing arsehole, she doesn't even realise what a f***
00:50:25she actually is.
00:50:29I actually look at you and Alyssa, and your relationship, and I really respect it.
00:50:34Yeah.
00:50:36I do.
00:50:36Rat bitch with her rat husband.
00:50:40You go through my phone, please.
00:50:42I actually beg of you.
00:50:43Go through my phone.
00:50:45The only fake f*** in this place are those two f***ing f***ing influencer wannabe f***ing.
00:50:53I've tried to be silent, but this is my opportunity to stick up for my wife, so I have to
00:51:01address
00:51:01it.
00:51:03I mean, obviously, the whole, like, I just want you to know, we felt like, felt like the
00:51:10comments were vile, disgusting.
00:51:14And very, like, mean and vicious.
00:51:17But how do you know what f***ing were?
00:51:21Um, we've seen, we've seen it.
00:51:26Did Juliet send them to Alyssa?
00:51:29She did.
00:51:41But I felt like the comments were vile, disgusting, and very, like, mean and vicious.
00:51:49But how do you know what they were?
00:51:54Um, we've seen, we've seen it.
00:51:59Did Juliet send them to Alyssa?
00:52:01She did.
00:52:06Yeah, so, like, obviously, you can imagine those comments were f***ing vile.
00:52:10Yeah, of course, yeah.
00:52:11And it's hard to look past that.
00:52:13Yeah, of course.
00:52:13And I want Alyssa to have her time to talk with you, so I'm gonna not try and dive too
00:52:17deep in that, just to give her the respect of that.
00:52:19Yeah, of course.
00:52:19Because I know, like, at the end of the day, those were very, very vile comments.
00:52:24Yeah, I understand.
00:52:25I don't know how you had it in you.
00:52:28You can see how, for us, like, now it looks like, you know, you're manipulating the situation
00:52:34to make yourself look like a victim now.
00:52:38We didn't realise the gravity of what was said.
00:52:41And did you see the other messages and stuff?
00:52:42Gosh, we, only from what we've seen, far out.
00:52:45Did you see, did you see the other messages?
00:52:46I didn't even expect that from you.
00:52:48I don't know which other messages, just the ones we've seen.
00:52:50Just from me?
00:52:51From Juliet, yeah.
00:52:52But this is what I'm saying, David.
00:52:53That was a group text with Mel, Brooke, Gia, and myself.
00:52:58And I'm not gonna throw anyone else under the bus, because I know what it's like when
00:53:01I've been thrown under the bus, and it's, you know, and I have to take responsibility
00:53:04for, you know, my actions, which I do.
00:53:09It pisses me off.
00:53:12It annoys me that Gia, she's the most manipulative person I've ever met in my life.
00:53:19Gia sent them to Juliet, even though she wasn't in the experiment.
00:53:24Like, what was the point in sending those messages?
00:53:29Why are you doing that?
00:53:30You want me to be in trouble?
00:53:32Babe, I'm the one that takes accountability, apologises when I'm wrong, and moves on to
00:53:38try and be a better human being.
00:53:39For me, it's like, you've sent text messages that I've sent, but not what you've sent, right?
00:53:47And not what anyone else sent.
00:53:49Like, I get it that Alicia and David are being used as pawns in this vicious game.
00:53:55I just can't believe I've hurt you guys so much.
00:53:58I'm so sorry.
00:53:59I'm sorry, I don't mean to get emotional.
00:54:01But I kind of feel sorry for myself, because it's all coming down on me.
00:54:06I'm sorry.
00:54:07No, that's all right.
00:54:10It's just tiresome.
00:54:11It's tiresome.
00:54:12And it's like, it's taught me never to put anything in text messages, that's for sure.
00:54:29Feedback week continues, and Scott is returning to share Stella's advice with Gia, unaware that
00:54:38she has refused to participate in the partner swap.
00:54:44I didn't go on my feedback meeting today.
00:54:49I had a gut feeling, and it was Danny.
00:54:51You know, I snapped a little bit, and I just needed to regroup and just relax and block
00:54:58things out and wait for Scott, really.
00:55:00So I listened to Coldplay on the balcony like a depressed woman.
00:55:09What are you doing sitting out there?
00:55:15Tell you what, there was a bit of heat in the room when I walked in the door.
00:55:18Woof, woof.
00:55:20Gia has had the doors open, and she's just looking outside, and I've never seen Gia have
00:55:24the doors open.
00:55:28How'd you go?
00:55:28How'd you go?
00:55:29I didn't go on it.
00:55:30You didn't go on it?
00:55:31No.
00:55:33I didn't do it.
00:55:39I don't really give a fuck for anyone's feedback at this point.
00:55:42There's no one's relationship that I want to copy.
00:55:45There's no one here that I think is doing better.
00:55:46There's no one here that's advice would be better than what I think you and I are doing
00:55:52already.
00:55:52So I just thought, fuck that.
00:55:54I'm not doing it.
00:55:56And I feel like it was going to be Danny.
00:55:58So I didn't do it.
00:56:00That's right.
00:56:02It could have gone two ways.
00:56:03I could have sat down and been fake and been nice, and I just know that would have turned
00:56:07into an argument, because he thinks I'm a liar, I think he's a liar.
00:56:12It wouldn't have been good.
00:56:13And then I thought, if I go and he sees me, and then I leave, he's going to say, oh
00:56:19my
00:56:19God, she's so dramatic, she can't even have a conversation.
00:56:21So I was like, it's best I remove myself from the potential drama that could happen today.
00:56:26To be honest, I don't care.
00:56:27It's fine that you didn't go.
00:56:29Scott, I'm not going to hang out with somebody, even for two seconds.
00:56:34That disrespects me.
00:56:35It's not happening.
00:56:37So.
00:56:38Yeah, I agree.
00:56:39Yeah.
00:56:40Yeah, the only thing I was surprised was that Gia just didn't attempt the task, because
00:56:46for me, to be honest, it's good to listen to someone else's perspective when you give
00:56:49them, you know, an overlook on the relationship and where we're sitting.
00:57:00Anyway, you go.
00:57:03I saw Stella.
00:57:09Okay.
00:57:10What'd she say about us?
00:57:14It was just, um, I hear stuff like, you know, if you don't feel the same in the next couple
00:57:20of weeks, I'm out.
00:57:21That, to me, makes me scared and pressured.
00:57:24Ultimatum?
00:57:25Yeah, pretty much.
00:57:26Oh, dear.
00:57:32Um, you know, when I felt there was a bit of tension there, um, I feel a little bit nervous
00:57:40to say what was said a bit, um, because what I said to her, um, oh, God, I'm so bad.
00:57:48I don't remember and stuff.
00:57:49Like, you know, um, I feel like I'm so bad.
00:58:03Anyway, you go.
00:58:07I saw Stella.
00:58:12Okay.
00:58:13What'd she say about us?
00:58:18It was just, um, walking into this, I was going to just open up and let it all on the
00:58:23table
00:58:23of exactly everything that went down with Stella, but when I felt there was a bit of tension
00:58:28there, um, I feel a little bit nervous to say what was said a bit.
00:58:33Well, for starters, this was like at the end, though.
00:58:36It was pretty nice.
00:58:36Obviously, she didn't know who she got, but it was like a little, um, blue quartz thing.
00:58:44Okay.
00:58:45To Hans, it's like about feeling, you feel it from your, um, what's it called?
00:58:49Your chakra and then your lower and stuff.
00:58:51It's like about feelings and stuff.
00:58:53Uh, I don't get it, but anyway.
00:58:56Well, maybe the crystal gives you good energy or something.
00:58:59Should I put it between my tits?
00:59:00I don't know.
00:59:00I need it, probably.
00:59:02Actually, thanks, Stella, because I'll take it.
00:59:05It was a pretty nice gesture.
00:59:07That's so cute for you guys.
00:59:08Yeah.
00:59:08Anyways, what happened?
00:59:10Oh, God, sorry.
00:59:11I thought I'd just show you anyway.
00:59:14So, um, but what else was there?
00:59:18Just...
00:59:19I think since at the moment you are not giving her any worries, you're not giving her any
00:59:25drama, she's seeking that drama, outsourcing the drama to fulfil her internal need.
00:59:30That's probably a very deep conversation that you probably would need to have.
00:59:35To be honest, the advice I got was quite reasonable, I feel.
00:59:39We were just rehashing stuff that you and I have already spoken about.
00:59:43You know what I mean?
00:59:44I said that we're really good now and stuff.
00:59:45I said we just found it difficult to go through a hurdle where, you know, you're, you're, don't
00:59:51want to go through this whole experiment and I haven't met the same feelings yet, if that
00:59:55makes sense.
00:59:56And she just said, go with every day, like, just not think about or talk about when Scott
01:00:04didn't say he's in love with me and stuff.
01:00:07But she said the time will come, to be honest.
01:00:09She's like, just keep doing what you're doing and the time is right, the time is right.
01:00:13Yeah.
01:00:14You know what I mean?
01:00:14Cool.
01:00:16And then just, what else?
01:00:18Is this going to happen outside the experiment?
01:00:23Like...
01:00:24This is going to be the same.
01:00:26Yeah.
01:00:27If she can't manage her emotions and her emotional turmoil, what she's experiencing right now,
01:00:32which is very secluded, it's a bubble.
01:00:36We spoke a little bit about the outside noise and stuff and how sometimes it bothers our
01:00:41relationship.
01:00:42When she was saying, like, if there was drama outside, like, are you someone that likes to
01:00:47be involved in other people's stuff?
01:00:49Yeah.
01:00:49Do you know what I mean?
01:00:50Like, in that environment, I don't know.
01:00:52Do you know what I mean?
01:00:53Like, I'm not sure if you like to be involved in people's stuff.
01:00:55Yeah, I don't, I don't partake in drama in real life.
01:00:59So, I'm a mum, like, I don't really have time for that shit.
01:01:02So, yeah, outside of here, I don't.
01:01:03Yeah.
01:01:09You all right?
01:01:09Yeah, I just don't really care for her feedback.
01:01:11That's so fine.
01:01:14My whole thought process was going to just open up about what we spoke about.
01:01:20But, you know, we're still recovering.
01:01:22The past few days, I thought, I'll go light on this.
01:01:27Because I knew, if I went too deep, I'd be, I wouldn't be.
01:01:32I'd be over the balcony.
01:01:36All right, cool.
01:01:39Tomorrow night.
01:01:40Oh, my God.
01:01:42It's Alyssa and Stephen's turn to get some fresh feedback.
01:01:46Maybe this is your opportunity to jump right, Joe.
01:01:49Take the lead, Stephen.
01:01:51All right, that's it.
01:01:52But not all our participants will see this week as constructive criticism.
01:01:57Just, like, made a decision on how this is going to work.
01:01:59No, actually, no.
01:02:00That's not true.
01:02:01As a tense standoff ensues for one of our strongest couples...
01:02:06Even now, I feel like you're getting defensive.
01:02:08I'm not getting defensive.
01:02:08I'm having a conversation.
01:02:09I am sad.
01:02:11I'm disappointed.
01:02:13Do you see me as the mother-father of your children?
01:02:15Yes, I do see you as the father of my children.
01:02:18And as Feedback Week continues...
01:02:21No, thanks.
01:02:24Bye.
01:02:26What's in the anonymous letter...
01:02:28We'll just get through this.
01:02:29No, I want to get out of here, babe.
01:02:31...that pushes Gia to breaking point?
01:02:34Gia wants to leave.
01:02:35...
