FunTranscript
00:00:01I 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 made business, yeah.
00:00:31We broke the friend zone.
00:00:33So we're out of the friend zone.
00:00:34I was like, right, yeah.
00:00:35Proud mama.
00:00:37Unfortunate.
00:00:38Alyssa, how does that feel to hear that?
00:00:40It's really nice.
00:00:41Like, 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...
00:00:51before she made one final parting shot...
00:00:54Exposing Beck 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...
00:01:28that she was going to show the experts...
00:01:32about the language that was used behind my back...
00:01:36mine and David's back.
00:01:38And I can tell you right now that what I just read...
00:01:42was disgusting.
00:01:45I'm actually pretty dumbfounded.
00:01:49Like, I thought there were going to be some nasty messages...
00:01:51but not that sort of language.
00:01:54Disgusting.
00:01:55I was...
00:01:55sickening.
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...
00:02:31kind of vibes.
00:02:33Do I have less clothes on, though?
00:02:35Yes, you do.
00:02:38Cheers.
00:02:39Cheers.
00:02:40Cheers to a productive...
00:02:43commitment ceremony.
00:02:44Yeah, it was very productive.
00:02:45It was very good.
00:02:46Phillip and I, we feel great.
00:02:48Like, we're back in our love bubble after our...
00:02:50couch session.
00:02:52Last night's commitment ceremony
00:02:54uncovered some previously unseen insecurities for Stella.
00:02:58Phillip 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.
00:03:11And 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,
00:03:24and he's terrified for an accident to happen.
00:03:29So, I, um, I was, like, I was like,
00:03:32maybe just do a snip.
00:03:35But despite the challenges,
00:03:38their ability to self-reflect...
00:03:40I don't want to push him away,
00:03:42but, 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
00:03:51really spooked me, scared me.
00:03:53But to understand that he's still choosing to, like,
00:03:56hey, like, let's get back on track.
00:03:58It's confirming, you know,
00:04:01that stability that he can offer me.
00:04:03It's a lot, you know?
00:04:04So...
00:04:05Yeah, I know.
00:04:05Grey t-shirt, eh?
00:04:08You should keep that on.
00:04:09I know.
00:04:10You should tattoo that on your forehead.
00:04:11Why just wear a t-shirt?
00:04:13Hands in t-shirts.
00:04:17Yeah, look, but I appreciate you being patient with me.
00:04:20It's fine, no hard feelings,
00:04:21and that was yesterday,
00:04:22and then this morning or today,
00:04:23we're just, we're just fresh.
00:04:25I'm definitely a lover.
00:04:26I hug.
00:04:27I just, I 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 it was anything to go by,
00:04:35it makes me appreciate what Stella and I have got going on.
00:04:38All in all, I think that,
00:04:39that ceremony was very productive.
00:04:41It was worthy.
00:04:42It was good,
00:04:43and I'm glad that the vasectomy is out of question.
00:04:46Yeah.
00:04:47Balls are going to be intact.
00:04:49Nothing's happening there.
00:04:50Not wrong.
00:04:52As some couples revel in their progress,
00:04:54it's a different story for others.
00:04:57Following last night's intense commitment ceremony,
00:05:01which ended with the dramatic disappearance
00:05:03of one of the brides.
00:05:06I'm going to get to the toilet.
00:05:07I have to pee.
00:05:10I have to pee, sorry.
00:05:13No, I gotta 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,
00:05:31and she asked for an over.
00:05:36And after leaving Scott alone and confused,
00:05:41Gia returned to the apartments last night.
00:05:45You good?
00:05:46Yep.
00:05:47Everyone good, Gia?
00:05:52I walked out of the commitment ceremony
00:05:54because it was a lot.
00:05:57In the screenshot drama,
00:05:59it kind of just all spiralled,
00:06:01and 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
00:06:15in 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.
00:06:34For me, like, I don't know what it is.
00:06:36Like, I don't know whether I'm scared or it's fear.
00:06:38I don't know what it is.
00:06:43And when Scott returned home
00:06:44from the commitment ceremony last night,
00:06:47Gia revealed her feelings to him.
00:06:51Right now, I'm a bit numb, confused.
00:06:56Don't know how I feel.
00:06:58I don't know.
00:06:59Because, like...
00:07:01Gia's a beautiful person,
00:07:03and I like her so damn much.
00:07:05I thought her relationship is on a really good level,
00:07:08and I just...
00:07:10I don't know what more to give to show that I care about her
00:07:13and that I'm in this experience for her.
00:07:16Like...
00:07:18I'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,
00:07:30and it's just made me feel a bit, um, stupid, to be honest.
00:07:35Do you hear what you're saying, Gia?
00:07:37This is how I feel, yeah.
00:07:38You feel stupid that you liked me more than I liked you.
00:07:41Can't you just let me go at my own pace?
00:07:44I don't want to look like I'm too in and someone isn't.
00:07:50So, no.
00:07:51Like, you need to come...
00:07:52You need to come step up as well.
00:07:55Um, I don't want to get to final vows,
00:07:58feeling this way about someone,
00:07:59and you say,
00:08:00oh, you're my soul mate.
00:08:01Yeah, I'm falling in love with you for weeks,
00:08:03and 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
00:08:13when every single day you and I sit down
00:08:16and we plan our 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 gonna do with your daughter,
00:08:22putting 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.
00:08:31It's not funny.
00:08:32I'm not pressuring you.
00:08:33You are.
00:08:33No, I don't want you to say it anymore, Scott.
00:08:35Because you're giving me alternatives like...
00:08:37I'm not gonna sit here and beg for love.
00:08:38I'm not that person.
00:08:39I'm never gonna 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 gonna 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.
00:08:59You don't need to...
00:09:00I'm not gonna 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...
00:09:08I don't understand anyway.
00:09:11At the end of the day, I'm gonna protect myself.
00:09:13And if you're not there, then I'm leaving.
00:09:17Anyways, I'm gonna 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,
00:11:09but 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, I 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, and 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.
00:11:40But unbeknownst to Beck, Alyssa has received the screenshots of her text messages.
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,
00:12:04Alyssa is going down.
00:12:06Rat bitch with her rat husband.
00:12:11I'm gonna 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 asshole,
00:12:23she doesn't even realise what a she actually is.
00:12:30I'm sorry, this is like...
00:12:33It's just absolutely nice.
00:12:36Um...
00:12:37Anyways.
00:12:39It gets worse.
00:12:42Beck 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.
00:12:59The next critical phase of the experiment begins.
00:13:03Oh, no.
00:13:04You ready?
00:13:04Yeah.
00:13:05Hit me.
00:13:06It's feedback week.
00:13:08Yes!
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...
00:13:20How 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.
00:14:06Our couples are about to embark on one of the most important phases of the experiment.
00:14:12Feedback week.
00:14:14And this year, it's starting with a surprise.
00:14:19Yay!
00:14:24Chris and Sam.
00:14:26You ready?
00:14:26Yeah.
00:14:27You look nervous.
00:14:27I am a little bit nervous.
00:14:29Okay.
00:14:32He 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.
00:14:45Sometimes 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 from afar.
00:15:00No!
00:15:02God.
00:15:02Whilst one of the most controversial tasks of Feedback Week, the partner swap allows couples to gain an outside perspective
00:15:09on their relationships.
00:15:11Participants will be hearing invaluable advice, potentially giving them the clarity they need to progress the relationship outside the experiment.
00:15:20Yes, you manifested your new wife.
00:15:23It's only for today.
00:15:24Who's going where?
00:15:25Who's meeting more?
00:15:26Who are they putting us with?
00:15:27I don't know.
00:15:28I need to know.
00:15:29This year, the participants won't know who they are meeting in the experiment at the partner swap.
00:15:35We wanted to create an environment that was real and raw, without any time to think about what they wanted
00:15:41to say or feedback they planned to give.
00:15:44Instead, giving invaluable perspectives in the moment.
00:15:48I'm shitting myself.
00:15:50Okay.
00:15:52You know what? I'm actually really excited.
00:15:54Maybe you might be the different, Stella, to make someone see, open their eyes in a certain way that they
00:15:59haven't really seen their partner, you know?
00:16:01Yeah.
00:16:01It'd be good.
00:16:02But I don't want to offend anyone, that's the thing.
00:16:04Like, I feel like my truths are very hard truths.
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.
00:16:24Yeah, for sure.
00:16:24This partner swap task couldn't have come at a better time.
00:16:28Chris 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 me 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 the boxes, we'd
00:16:46have 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 from
00:16:53Sydney to the farm.
00:16:54Oh, someone's been thinking about this in quite 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 voice
00:17:08in 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 and get a third party opinion
00:17:19on 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.
00:17:27Have 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.
00:17:45Oh, 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.
00:18:26I don't know what to do at the moment, because all I can do is be here for her.
00:18:30That's all I can do.
00:18:33It's fun 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.
00:18:58There's no one here's relationship that I want to copy.
00:19:01I 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.
00:19:18To 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.
00:19:34If it's only a couple of hours, I don't see any harm.
00:19:36Well, it's a few hours. It'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
00:19:45I hate and just makes my, ruin my day.
00:19:48It's harmless.
00:19:50Yep.
00:19:50It is harmless.
00:19:52You just give each other feedback.
00:19:55I'm trying to support Gia, protect her, look after her, tell her I'm here every step of the way.
00:20:01But, like, I can see the purpose of this task because the only people that have really seen the relationship
00:20:07in this experiment are the other participants.
00:20:09And I wish Gia could understand.
00:20:12Don't look at negatives to outweigh the positives.
00:20:14Because we are going through some rough patches at the moment.
00:20:18So, they might give some feedback.
00:20:19That 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.
00:20:31A 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?
00:21:01Bec?
00:21:04F*** it.
00:21:06I 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.
00:21:30Um, 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.
00:21:45Have a good chat.
00:21:47The problem for me is that people here that I don't trust, that I won't speak to, like I'll fluff
00:21:52around it.
00:21:53And that's just the reality of it.
00:21:56No, 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 then I'm saying...
00:22:06You're joking.
00:22:07Because 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'm matched with Scott for this conversation, there's zero chance that I'm going to be honest with Scott.
00:22:23It's just the way it is.
00:22:25Sorry.
00:22:25Don't trust him.
00:22:26They use things against you when you've, you know, like, no.
00:22:32So, yeah.
00:22:35I can tell your energy's off.
00:22:38Yeah, I'm not into it.
00:22:39Babe, relax.
00:22:40It's going to be alright.
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.
00:22:53Um, nothing 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, but 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.
00:23:10Um, and 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.
00:23:23It'll be shitter for me than it is for you.
00:23:24No, it's not.
00:23:25Of course it is.
00:23:26Don't be silly.
00:23:27Of 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?
00:24:02I'm over it.
00:24:03The thing that bothers me is like, the idea of like, of like, my husband telling someone else things that
00:24:13he'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 of love last night.
00:24:27Do you know what else bothers me?
00:24:30Yesterday when he ummed and ah, 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 swap.
00:25:04I'm so glad of you.
00:25:06Oh, my God.
00:25:09Let's go.
00:25:12And after successfully convincing wife Gia to take part in the task, Scott is on the way to his catch
00:25:19up 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.
00:25:35Um, but at the moment, all I'm thinking about is how I don't want to see back with Danny.
00:25:43For both of mine and Gia's sake, I'm more than happy to go with anyone.
00:25:48But please don't let it be back with Danny.
00:25:58Hello.
00:25:59Hi!
00:26:00What's going on?
00:26:02I was like, this sounds cool.
00:26:04Like, if it's not back in Danny, that's fine.
00:26:06I know.
00:26:07I would have been so uncomfortable.
00:26:08I would have just walked out.
00:26:10Oh, 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.
00:26:15I might get some weight off my shoulder.
00:26:17Oh, 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, far out.
00:26:24Yeah.
00:26:25I've got a pretty good relationship with Stella.
00:26:27She'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.
00:26:37I really admire it.
00:26:40So, maybe she'll get some good insights about my relationship and vice versa.
00:26:47Right.
00:26:48How are we feeling?
00:26:49Where do we start?
00:26:50Seeing Scott was great.
00:26:53Seeing Scott was great.
00:26:53He has a lot of great qualities that you would want in a man, in a friend.
00:26:58You 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?
00:27:16So, you guys are good now.
00:27:17Like, 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.
00:27:24But 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.
00:27:33So, 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.
00:27:40Yeah, we do.
00:27:40We do communicate so well.
00:27:42Yeah.
00:27:42So, 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 does.
00:27:51I 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.
00:27:59It'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.
00:28:08I know.
00:28:08I love him too.
00:28:09If you don't love him, I will.
00:28:10Yeah.
00:28:12He 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?
00:28:27Um, so...
00:28:31Gia 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...
00:28:38To be honest, this is probably the roughest time we're at right now.
00:28:42Mm.
00:28:43What happened?
00:28:44Are you okay to talk about it?
00:28:46Yes.
00:28:46Well, that's what I'm here for.
00:28:48I 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
00:28:54not going to tell me because I need to say it first.
00:28:57And I've been honest.
00:28:58I said, I'm not there yet, but I am falling.
00:29:01But when I hear stuff like, you know, if you don't feel the same in the next couple
00:29:04of weeks, I'm out.
00:29:06Okay.
00:29:08That, 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.
00:29:19Mm.
00:29:20So, 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,
00:29:29and all, like, 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.
00:29:38She's seeking that drama to fulfil her internal need.
00:29:42Yeah.
00:29:45I was very pleased that he truly opened up about the relationship because, thus far,
00:29:49we only saw the rainbows and butterflies.
00:29:52Yeah.
00:29:52I think I can be honest with Scott.
00:29:54I think Gia needs that external drama.
00:29:57The fact that she's almost forcing him to say, I love you, while in the experiment.
00:30:02All she's doing is just deflecting.
00:30:07How 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.
00:30:14I don't know how to explain it.
00:30:15But, like, you're kind of, you're looking for, in your outside world, in your relationships,
00:30:20you're looking for confirmation of your beliefs.
00:30:22Mm.
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, but 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
00:30:59outside the experiment?
00:31:01Slightly.
00:31:07Slightly.
00:31:07Do 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.
00:31:21We insulate it.
00:31:23We don't have any pressures.
00:31:24We don't have the pressures of you working, of her working, of the children getting involved.
00:31:31So, I think that's probably a very deep conversation that you probably would need to have.
00:31:37Yeah.
00:31:39It's hard, yeah.
00:31:40I just...
00:31:41Cos, like...
00:31:42Hmm.
00:31:44And it worries me, cos 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, because everything we do together,
00:31:55when we're together, is so perfectly aligned.
00:31:57It is great, it is great.
00:31:57But this other shit...
00:31:58Yeah.
00:31:59..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, enhances 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.
00:32:59Pleasure.
00:33:00Definitely gonna 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.
00:33:08Well, cheers, I've finished my drink.
00:33:10You've had a great discussion, I think.
00:33:12Fingers crossed, it goes the right way.
00:33:19As Scott remains optimistic, back at the apartments...
00:33:29Gia, just explain to us what's happening, Gia.
00:33:34Despite agreeing to participate in the task...
00:33:37Gia.
00:33:38...there's been a shocking turn of events for Gia.
00:33:43What's happening, Gia?
00:33:46Gia.
00:33:49All you have to do is explain.
00:33:54It's... I'm not having... 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 full of ****.
00:34:06And I don't really care what the experts have to say.
00:34:16The partner swap is underway.
00:34:18Where our couples have been tasked to meet with a fellow participant in the experiment
00:34:23for another perspective on their relationship.
00:34:26And Sam is seeking some relationship insight from Philip,
00:34:30following concerns over Chris outlining their plans for the future
00:34:34without consulting him.
00:34:37Like, I know that Chris, like, has a lot.
00:34:39Obviously, I just play it with, like, kids on the land, the farm and stuff, but...
00:34:41Absolutely.
00:34:42Did you see at the commitment ceremony when he was like,
00:34:45I know how it will work, Sam will come to Sydney and then we'll do this.
00:34:48We had not spoken about that plan, like, at all.
00:34:52Like, 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...
00:35:03that's where it ends up.
00:35:05But, like, I just feel like I didn't get a say or a voice at all.
00:35:08I feel for Sammy as a lack of empathy, like, where, you know,
00:35:11it's just assumed that we're going to be doing this and this is how it'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 and we've come out through it strong.
00:35:27Hopefully that can give him some insight and 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.
00:35:37Did you have this chat with him after?
00:35:39Is 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 plan is like as a partnership.
00:35:56So the silver lining is that you can work at this for the next few months.
00:35:59Yeah.
00:36:00Potentially.
00:36:00You need to have more say.
00:36:02Kind of draw it up in real time and just go, how is it going to look like?
00:36:05Yeah.
00:36:05In what timeframe?
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.
00:36:14Yeah.
00:36:14And your feelings need to be considered.
00:36:16As 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.
00:36:26Like, to be empathised with this relationship.
00:36:29Man, this relationship should start, marriage starts hard, isn't it?
00:36:31It is.
00:36:32Anyway, we should get more drinks.
00:36:33Let's do it.
00:36:34Yeah.
00:36:35As Sam finds clarity in Phillip's advice, across town, Danny has arrived to meet his mystery pairing.
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.
00:37:29But they could actually give you the best advice in life.
00:37:34Sometimes, 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 have a good
00:37:45chat.
00:37:57But unbeknownst to Danny, his match is refusing to participate in the task.
00:38:05I'm not turning.
00:38:07You guys can all **** yourselves at this point.
00:38:11I don't know why the **** this is an important thing to do today.
00:38:17So you don't want to find out who it is?
00:38:20No.
00:38:22Because I feel like it's going to be Bec or Danny.
00:38:35How long are we going to be waiting?
00:38:43There's a lose-lose situation. There's no win-win situation if it is Bec or Danny.
00:38:50This is awkward.
00:39:00OK, Danny.
00:39:03The participant who is going to give you some feedback is no longer coming.
00:39:07All right.
00:39:08All right.
00:39:08Why is that?
00:39:10They have decided they don't want to stay in the house.
00:39:14That's cool.
00:39:15That's what we're doing, just chilling.
00:39:19Who was it?
00:39:20It was Gia.
00:39:23Fair enough.
00:39:26She done a runner.
00:39:28Coming 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.
00:39:38I am shocked.
00:39:39I felt like the comments were vile, disgusting.
00:39:43But how do you know what they were?
00:39:46Um...
00:39:48We've seen them.
00:40:02OK, 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 words.
00:40:16That's cool.
00:40:17So what are we doing, just chilling?
00:40:21Who was it?
00:40:23It was Gia.
00:40:26Fair enough.
00:40:28She done a runner.
00:40:31Gia, Gia, Gia.
00:40:33She's done it again, isn't she?
00:40:35Like, 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 you mean?
00:40:42I'm going to rename her Usain Bolt.
00:40:46There'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.
00:40:53And I just had to choose myself.
00:40:56It's cowardly.
00:40:57That's what it is.
00:40:59Thanks so much.
00:41:00But she couldn't risk it.
00:41:01She probably thought there's a slim chance she was going to get me.
00:41:05So, obviously for her it would be very confronting to turn up and sit across the table and look a
00:41:10man in the eyes who you've lied about.
00:41:13Do you know what you mean?
00:41:16So, what you saw today was a guilty conscience.
00:41:19There is no winning.
00:41:21Because if I walk out she'll manipulate the situation.
00:41:23If I sit with her she'll manipulate me.
00:41:25There's no way around this.
00:41:27They're horrible people.
00:41:28And I do not want to be in the presence of those kinds of people.
00:41:32They're in a fake relationship.
00:41:34I feel a bit disappointed.
00:41:37This task has been taken away from me.
00:41:40And I feel that it's a disrespect to the experiment, to the experts and to the other participants if you
00:41:46don't give it 100%.
00:41:48I don't really care what the experts have to say.
00:41:51I just don't want to put myself in a position where I'm not actually doing anything productive for my relationship.
00:41:56I'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 Chia anyway, so...
00:42:14Back at the apartments, Alyssa and David are about to leave for the partner swap.
00:42:20Alright babe, I'm off to get some feedback.
00:42:24And following the shock revelation of Bec'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 Daniel Beck, make sure that you don't bring up
00:42:39the text messages yet.
00:42:41Okay.
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.
00:42:50Cool.
00:42:50Okay.
00:42:51Easy.
00:42:51Okay.
00:42:52David and I are trying to focus on a whole new fresh start to the week, but it's hard because
00:42:59obviously I have mended friendships with both Bec and Gia, but the way that Bec spoke about me in these
00:43:07messages were absolutely vulgar, vicious, and 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.
00:43:20You brought your eyes!
00:43:21You brought your eyes!
00:43:22That's why!
00:43:22You brought your eyes!
00:43:24That's why we don't like you!
00:43:25I'm not everybody's cup of tea!
00:43:28Leave me alone!
00:43:29Oh, shut up!
00:43:30I guarantee!
00:43:31Stop!
00:43:31Ugh!
00:43:32You talk shit about Alyssa non-stop, babe!
00:43:35So, let's pull up the receipts, shall we?
00:43:37Went home for the weekend!
00:43:39Turmoil in the relationship!
00:43:44What?
00:43:46Like, there has been a lot of this going on, where she's constantly trying to dig, dig, dig, push, push,
00:43:53push.
00:43:53She's relentless.
00:43:54I just want to let you know, there's a bit of chatter around Adelaide, um, about Bec trying to actually
00:44:02dig shit up on Alyssa.
00:44:06Like, it's an active process.
00:44:10There is always something going on.
00:44:14And she hasn't been able to tell me why.
00:44:17What's up to you, Bec, would you say?
00:44:21Why are you talking about their relationship?
00:44:24Do you know what? You're right, and...
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.
00:44:37I've been in the chat.
00:44:37I've been, you know, in Bec's chat in this whole experiment.
00:44:41Enough is enough.
00:44:42So, I just personally want to go up to Bec and just address this matter.
00:44:46Say, babe, I've seen the receipts.
00:44:48Like, explain yourself.
00:44:51I see you, Seb.
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.
00:45:14But 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,
00:45:34yo, we're about to spend a couple of hours together.
00:45:36And, yeah, who knows who it is.
00:45:43Oh, no, you're kidding me.
00:45:49Oh, crap.
00:45:50So glad it's you.
00:45:50Oh, my goodness.
00:45:51You're kidding.
00:45:52I did not want to see Bec today.
00:46:06Oh, no.
00:46:07You'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 Bec today.
00:46:19How are you?
00:46:20I'm good. How are you?
00:46:21I'm okay.
00:46:22Not too bad.
00:46:23Oh, wow.
00:46:24How are you feeling?
00:46:25Um, yeah, all right, all right.
00:46:27How are you feeling?
00:46:28I'm all right.
00:46:29I'm a bit nervous.
00:46:30Yeah, I'm a bit nervous as well.
00:46:31Okay.
00:46:32So, we're both nervous.
00:46:33Yeah.
00:46:33I was not, like, expecting it to be you.
00:46:38You're probably like, why is she here?
00:46:40Yeah, low-key, low-key.
00:46:43I'm feeling very awkward because, obviously, you know, it was fresh in my mind, the text messages that we saw
00:46:51that Bec had sent, but I know that Alyssa wanted to confront Bec herself about the whole situation.
00:46:57So, I'll be cordial with Bec and brush it to the side.
00:47:01Yeah.
00:47:03Um...
00:47:06Anyway, like, let's talk about what we're here to talk about.
00:47:12So, yeah, you have some questions for me?
00:47:16Yeah, do you know what?
00:47:17I was hoping it was you.
00:47:18Yeah.
00:47:18Why?
00:47:19I wanted to talk to you and Alyssa.
00:47:21I think something that, um, I need to say is, obviously, I've apologised to you guys, right?
00:47:27But it's, it was, it was from the first week that those messages were written.
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 since feedback week.
00:47:51Let's get feedback for our relationship, but let's not bring our text messages until later.
00:47:56Cool.
00:47:56Okay.
00:47:56Easy.
00:47:58All I'm thinking about is how Alyssa wanted to unpack that with Bec.
00:48:03Gia sent them to Juliet for God knows what reason.
00:48:06This is my worst nightmare.
00:48:08I am...
00:48:10Like, I understand that I've been involved in certain aspects.
00:48:13I understand that I take full accountability and responsibility, but, like,
00:48:17the person that keeps on bringing it up, keeps on negating themselves out of that situation
00:48:21and being Alyssa's friend, is Gia.
00:48:26I, I had to hold back because Bec is trying to say she's doing nothing
00:48:30and she's just been 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,
00:48:45but those conversations started somewhere.
00:48:48And it's just a vendetta.
00:48:50Mm.
00:48:50And 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.
00:48:58Oh, against me.
00:48:58You guys are always caught in the crossfire, which is unfair.
00:49:02Yeah.
00:49:02Yeah.
00:49:02I am shocked Bec is trying to make herself look like a victim.
00:49:06Like, am I in sleep paralysis right now?
00:49:09Mm.
00:49:10It's not a shit on Gia day, but...
00:49:12Mm.
00:49:12Because we've got our relationships to talk about.
00:49:14But at the centre of everything is Gia, right?
00:49:19So she's sending screenshots.
00:49:21It looks like both you and Gia are at the centre of everything.
00:49:24Yeah, listen, but like...
00:49:25And I would...
00:49:26I'm being bought into it this time.
00:49:27I'm just finding out more about Gia, but from what...
00:49:29Obviously till this conversation, all I've seen,
00:49:32if I was being completely honest,
00:49:33is Bec is always the centre of staring the pot
00:49:36in every relationship.
00:49:39Bec is very good at manipulating,
00:49:41and her lack of accountability
00:49:43makes me sick to my stomach.
00:49:46Look, David, it's like...
00:49:49Well...
00:49:50In those text messages, I didn't...
00:49:52I wasn't rude about you.
00:49:54I wasn't rude about Alyssa.
00:49:56I was just talking about your relationship.
00:49:58Yeah.
00:50:02Like, right now, I don't know what to do.
00:50:04I feel like I've got ants crawling underneath my skin,
00:50:07and I feel like I want to be outside of my skin
00:50:10and out on the street.
00:50:12Because I read those text messages,
00:50:15you know, that was vicious, you know,
00:50:17that was disgusting.
00:50:19Bec said her head is so far up,
00:50:22her f***ing arsehole,
00:50:23she doesn't even realise what a c*** she actually is.
00:50:29I actually look at you and Alyssa
00:50:32and your relationship,
00:50:33and I really respect it.
00:50:34Yeah.
00:50:36I do.
00:50:37Rat bitch with her rat husband.
00:50:39You read, go through my phone.
00:50:41Please.
00:50:42I actually beg of you.
00:50:43Go through my phone.
00:50:45The only fake c*** in this place
00:50:47are those two c*** influencer wannabe c***.
00:50:54I've tried to be silent,
00:50:56but this is my opportunity to stick up for my wife.
00:51:00So I have to address it.
00:51:03I mean, obviously, the whole, like...
00:51:07I just want you to know,
00:51:08we felt like the comments were vile, disgusting.
00:51:14And very, like, mean and vicious.
00:51:17But how do you know what c*** were?
00:51:20Um...
00:51:22We've seen...
00:51:23We've seen it.
00:51:26Did Juliet send them to Alyssa?
00:51:29She did.
00:51:37She did.
00:51:37Sex itself.
00:51:38We all love it.
00:51:39We all need it.
00:51:40Let's not pretend that's not the case.
00:51:42It's having connections and enjoyment with people.
00:51:46It's just that I don't want that with one person.
00:51:51I've been in an open relationship for six years.
00:51:55Some people don't get it.
00:51:57It's sad, isn't it?
00:51:58Like, I wish I was a monogamous person.
00:52:01I wish I could settle for just the one connection with someone
00:52:05and to be satisfied in that way.
00:52:07But it's not me.
00:52:08I don't want the white picket fence with the kids and the dog.
00:52:13I just want to be tomorrow waking up saying,
00:52:16do you want to go to Bali and go surf?
00:52:19Do you want to pick up this new hobby and go on an adventure?
00:52:21Or also, there's this really cool chick that, like,
00:52:24wants me to go have a threesome with our partner.
00:52:26Do you care if I go do that?
00:52:27You know?
00:52:29I'm not going to compromise on that.
00:52:31Do you know I'm in an open relationship?
00:52:35I remember when we first met, I knew you very well.
00:52:39Very quick.
00:52:40Yeah, I mean, I just think, why not be yourself?
00:52:42You don't need to be like everyone else.
00:52:44Exactly.
00:52:45Some people, they prefer monogamy.
00:52:47I prefer not monogamy.
00:52:49It's great.
00:52:50He's currently living in Canberra for work.
00:52:52I'm living here, but that just kind of works.
00:52:54Yeah, it's fun. I love it.
00:52:56Yeah.
00:52:56Does he ever come home and suddenly you've learned some new crazy move
00:53:00and then he's going, hold on a second, where did you pull this one from?
00:53:02Yeah, but isn't that the best thing ever?
00:53:03It's like, hey, I really like this.
00:53:05Why don't we try this?
00:53:05And it just, like, adds to the repertoire.
00:53:08Hit it with the severe weather warnings.
00:53:09Don't get caught in this hurricane.
00:53:10Oh!
00:53:12Life's about having fun, right?
00:53:14I feel like Sydney's the place for that, you know?
00:53:16It really is, actually.
00:53:17It's very welcoming, accepting.
00:53:18I don't think I've had anyone, at least from my face, say, like,
00:53:23oh, what?
00:53:24Like, why are you like that?
00:53:26Sarah's relationship, open relationship, not for me, personally.
00:53:29I'm such a jealous person.
00:53:31I like to have my one man and that's it.
00:53:35Went for a run with her the other day.
00:53:37Oh, did she tell you?
00:53:38And she filled me in on all of that.
00:53:39And I was literally like, wow, like, that's insane.
00:53:42Yeah.
00:53:42It's so interesting.
00:53:43I don't know if I could do it.
00:53:44Like, six years.
00:53:45I know.
00:53:46Of an open relationship.
00:53:47And on top of it, the fact that she's bisexual.
00:53:49Yeah.
00:53:49It's even more like, whoa.
00:53:51Yeah.
00:53:51You know?
00:53:52There's so much to her.
00:53:53So much to unpack.
00:53:54It's so intense.
00:53:55It's so intense.
00:53:56Like, so intense.
00:53:57Do you think you'd be able to do that?
00:53:59I don't think so.
00:54:00You know, I tried for a bit and it literally went.
00:54:03You tried an open relationship?
00:54:04Yeah.
00:54:04It went downhill.
00:54:05Really?
00:54:06How long were you with the person?
00:54:07Uh, for a real long time.
00:54:09You know, a couple of years.
00:54:10Yeah.
00:54:10But yeah, it's just like, you break the trust.
00:54:13Yeah.
00:54:13And when, you know, you get to know someone else, then you think that person's better.
00:54:18And then you go back to your relationship where there is all the boring part.
00:54:21And I think it would be hard, like, if you start monogamous.
00:54:24Yeah.
00:54:25And then you're like, okay, let's open it up.
00:54:27I wonder if she's, like, how did it?
00:54:28They must have just started from the jump being open.
00:54:30Yeah.
00:54:31Yeah.
00:54:31I don't know.
00:54:31We have to ask her.
00:54:32There's so many cool people out there.
00:54:34Why limit yourself to another person?
00:54:35Yeah, I like it.
00:54:36I have a lot to learn from you.
00:54:37You make me strong.
00:54:38I teach you how to relationship differently.
00:54:40That's what friendships are for.
00:54:42That's for me.
00:54:42I do sometimes wonder how Sarah comes of our relationship.
00:54:46Six and a half years is a long time.
00:54:47It's not for everyone.
00:54:49But, you know, everything's not for everyone.
00:54:55At the moment, I'm feeling very rejected.
00:54:58I'm destined to be single forever.
00:55:02What happened?
00:55:12But I felt like the comments were vile, disgusting.
00:55:16And very, like, mean and vicious.
00:55:20But how do you know what they were?
00:55:22Um, we've seen them.
00:55:29Did Juliet send them to Alyssa?
00:55:32She did.
00:55:36Yeah.
00:55:37So, like, obviously you can imagine those comments were f***ing vile.
00:55:40Yeah, of course, yeah.
00:55:41And it's hard to look past that, you know?
00:55:43Yeah, of course.
00:55:43And I want Alyssa to have her time to talk with you,
00:55:45so I'm gonna not try and dive too deep in that,
00:55:48just to give her the respect of that.
00:55:49Yeah, of course.
00:55:50Because I know, like, at the end of the day,
00:55:52those were very, very vile comments.
00:55:54Yeah, I understand.
00:55:55And I don't know how you had it in you.
00:55:58You can see how, for us, like, now it looks like,
00:56:01you know, you're manipulating this situation
00:56:04to make yourself look like a victim now.
00:56:08We didn't realise the gravity of what was said.
00:56:11And did you see the other messages and stuff?
00:56:13Gosh, we, only from what we've seen, far out.
00:56:16Did you see the other messages?
00:56:16I didn't even expect that from you.
00:56:18I don't know what other messages, just the ones we've seen.
00:56:20Just from me?
00:56:21Yeah.
00:56:22This is what I'm saying, David.
00:56:24That was a group text with Mel, Brooke, Gia and myself.
00:56:28And I'm not gonna throw anyone else under the bus
00:56:30because I know what it's like when I've been thrown under the bus
00:56:32and it's, you know, and I have to take responsibility for,
00:56:35you know, my actions, which I do.
00:56:37Um, it pisses me off.
00:56:42It annoys me that Gia, she's the most manipulative person
00:56:47I've ever met in my life.
00:56:49Gia sent them to Juliet, even though she wasn't in the experiment.
00:56:54Like, what was the point in sending those messages?
00:56:59Why are you doing that?
00:57:00You want me to be in trouble?
00:57:02Babe, I'm the one that takes accountability,
00:57:05apologises when I'm wrong,
00:57:06and moves on to try and be a better human being.
00:57:10For me, it's like, you've sent text messages
00:57:13that I've sent, but not what you've sent.
00:57:17Yeah. Right?
00:57:17And not what anyone else sent.
00:57:19Like, I get it that Alyssa and David are being used as pawns
00:57:23in this vicious game.
00:57:25I just can't believe I've hurt you guys so much.
00:57:28I'm so sorry.
00:57:30I'm sorry, I don't mean to get emotional.
00:57:32But I kind of feel sorry for myself
00:57:33because it's all coming down on me.
00:57:36I'm sorry.
00:57:37And, um, that's all right.
00:57:40It's just tiresome, it's tiresome.
00:57:43And it's like...
00:57:46It's taught me never to put anything in text messages,
00:57:49that's for sure.
00:58:00Feedback week continues.
00:58:02And Scott is returning to share Stella's advice with Gia,
00:58:07unaware that she has refused to participate in the partner swap.
00:58:15I didn't go on my feedback meeting today.
00:58:19I had a gut feeling and it was Dani.
00:58:21You know, I snapped a little bit
00:58:23and I just needed to regroup and just relax
00:58:27and block things out and wait for Scott, really.
00:58:30So I listened to Coldplay on the balcony
00:58:33like a depressed woman.
00:58:39What are you doing sitting out there?
00:58:45Tell you what, there was a bit of heat in the room
00:58:47when I walked in the door.
00:58:48Oof!
00:58:50Oh!
00:58:50Gia's had the doors open and the...
00:58:52She's just looking outside
00:58:53and I've never seen Gia have the doors open.
00:58:58How'd you go? How'd you go?
00:58:59I didn't go on it.
00:59:00You didn't go on it?
00:59:01No.
00:59:04I didn't do it.
00:59:10I don't really give a f*** for anyone's feedback at this point.
00:59:13There's no one's relationship that I want to copy.
00:59:15There's no one here that I think is doing better.
00:59:16There's no one here that's advice would be better
00:59:20than what I think you and I are doing already.
00:59:22So I just thought, f*** that, I'm not doing it.
00:59:26And I feel like it was going to be Danny.
00:59:29So I didn't do it.
00:59:30What's alright?
00:59:32It could have gone two ways.
00:59:33I could have sat down and been fake and been nice
00:59:35and I just know that would have turned into an argument
00:59:40because he thinks I'm a liar, I think he's a liar.
00:59:42It wouldn't have been good.
00:59:43And then I thought if I go and he sees me
00:59:46and then I leave, he's going to say,
00:59:48oh my God, she's so dramatic, she can't even have a conversation.
00:59:51So I was like, it's best I remove myself from the potential drama
00:59:54that could happen today.
00:59:56To be honest, I don't care.
00:59:57It's fine that you didn't go.
00:59:59Scott, I'm not going to hang out with somebody,
01:00:02even for two seconds.
01:00:04That disrespects me.
01:00:05It's not happening.
01:00:07So...
01:00:08Yeah, I agree.
01:00:09Yeah.
01:00:10Yeah, the only thing I was surprised was that Gia just
01:00:13didn't attempt the task.
01:00:15Because for me, to be honest, it's good to listen to someone else's perspective
01:00:19when you give them, you know, an over look on the relationship
01:00:22and where we're sitting.
01:00:30Anyway, you go.
01:00:33I saw Stella.
01:00:39Okay.
01:00:40What'd she say about us?
01:00:44It was just, um...
01:00:47I hear stuff like, you know,
01:00:49if you don't feel the same in the next couple of weeks, I'm out.
01:00:51That, to me, makes me scared and pressured.
01:00:54The ultimatum?
01:00:55Yeah, pretty much.
01:00:57Oh, dear.
01:01:01Um...
01:01:03You know...
01:01:05When I felt there was a bit of tension there,
01:01:09I feel a little bit nervous to say what was said a bit.
01:01:12Um...
01:01:13Because what I said to her...
01:01:17Um...
01:01:17Oh, God, I'm so bad at remembering stuff.
01:01:20Like...
01:01:21You know...
01:01:24Um...
01:01:34Anyway, you go.
01:01:37I saw Stella.
01:01:42Okay.
01:01:43What'd she say about us?
01:01:47It was just, um...
01:01:50Walking into this, I was going to just open up
01:01:52and let it all on the table
01:01:53of exactly everything that went down with Stella,
01:01:56but when I felt there was a bit of tension there,
01:01:59um...
01:02:00I feel a little bit nervous to say what was said a bit.
01:02:04Well, for starters, this was, like, at the end, though,
01:02:06it was pretty nice.
01:02:07Obviously, she didn't know who she got,
01:02:08but it was like a little, um...
01:02:10blue quartz thing.
01:02:14Okay.
01:02:15Tances, it's, like, about feeling...
01:02:17You feel it from your, um, what's it called?
01:02:19Your chakra and then your lower and stuff.
01:02:21It's, like, about feelings and stuff.
01:02:23Uh...
01:02:23I don't get it, but anyway.
01:02:27Well, maybe the crystal gives you good energy or something.
01:02:29Should I put it between my tits?
01:02:30I don't know.
01:02:31I need it, probably.
01:02:32Actually, thanks, Stella,
01:02:34because I'll take it.
01:02:35It was pretty nice gesture.
01:02:37That's so cute for you guys.
01:02:39Yeah.
01:02:39Anyways, what happened?
01:02:40Oh, God, sorry.
01:02:41I thought I'd just show you anyway.
01:02:45So, um...
01:02:47But...
01:02:47what else was there?
01:02:49Just...
01:02:49I think since, at the moment,
01:02:51you are not giving her any worries,
01:02:54you're not giving her any drama,
01:02:56she's seeking that drama,
01:02:57outsourcing the drama
01:02:58to fulfil her internal need.
01:03:00That's probably a very deep conversation
01:03:03that you probably would need to have.
01:03:05To be honest,
01:03:06the advice I got was quite reasonable, I feel.
01:03:09We were just rehashing stuff
01:03:11that you and I have already spoken about.
01:03:13You know what I mean?
01:03:14I said that we're really good now and stuff.
01:03:15I said we just found it difficult
01:03:16to go through a hurdle where, you know,
01:03:20you're...
01:03:20you don't want to go through this whole experiment
01:03:22and I haven't met the same feelings yet,
01:03:25if that makes sense.
01:03:27And she just said...
01:03:30Go with every day.
01:03:32Like, just not think about it or talk about
01:03:34when's Scott going to say
01:03:35he's in love with me and stuff.
01:03:37But she said the time will come, to be honest.
01:03:40She's like, just keep doing what you're doing
01:03:41and when the time is right, the time is right.
01:03:44You know what I mean?
01:03:45Cool.
01:03:46And then, just what else?
01:03:48Is this going to happen outside the experiment?
01:03:53Like...
01:03:54This is going to be the same.
01:03:56Yeah.
01:03:57If she can't manage her emotions
01:03:59and her emotional turmoil,
01:04:01what she's experiencing right now,
01:04:02which is very secluded, it's a bubble.
01:04:06We spoke a little bit about the outside noise
01:04:09and stuff and how sometimes it bothers our relationship.
01:04:12when she was saying, like, if there was drama outside,
01:04:16like, are you someone that likes to be involved
01:04:17in other people's stuff?
01:04:19Yeah.
01:04:19Do you know what I mean?
01:04:20Like, in that environment?
01:04:21I don't know.
01:04:22Do you know what I mean?
01:04:23Like, I'm not sure if you like to be involved in people's stuff.
01:04:25Yeah, I don't partake in drama in real life.
01:04:29So, I'm a mum.
01:04:30Like, I don't really have time for that shit.
01:04:32So, yeah, outside of here, I don't.
01:04:34Yeah.
01:04:39You alright?
01:04:39Yeah, I just don't really care for her feedback.
01:04:42That's so fine.
01:04:44My whole thought process,
01:04:46I was going to just open up about what we spoke about.
01:04:51But, you know, we're still recovering the past few days.
01:04:54I thought, I'll go light on this.
01:04:57Because I knew, if I went too deep, I'd be...
01:05:02I wouldn't be.
01:05:03I'd be over the balcony.
01:05:06Alright, cool.
01:05:09Tomorrow night.
01:05:10Oh, my God.
01:05:12It's Alyssa and Stephen's turn to get some fresh feedback.
01:05:16Maybe this is your opportunity to jump right, Joe.
01:05:19Take the lead, Stephen.
01:05:21Alright, that's it.
01:05:22But not all our participants will see this week
01:05:25as constructive criticism.
01:05:27Just, like, made a decision on how this is going.
01:05:29No, actually, no.
01:05:30That's not true.
01:05:32As a tense standoff ensues for one of our strongest couples...
01:05:36Even now, I feel like you're getting defensive.
01:05:38I'm not getting defensive.
01:05:39I'm having a conversation.
01:05:39I am sad.
01:05:41I'm disappointed.
01:05:43Do you see me as the mother-father of your children?
01:05:45Yes, I do see you as the father of my children.
01:05:49And as Feedback Week continues...
01:05:52No, thanks.
01:05:55Bye.
01:05:55Bye.
01:05:56What's in the anonymous letter...
01:05:58We'll just get through this.
01:05:59Oh, I want to get out of here, babe.
01:06:01...that pushes Gia to breaking point?
01:06:04Gia wants to leave.
01:06:05Bye.
01:06:06Bye.
01:06:10Bye.
01:06:13Bye.
01:06:14Bye.
