00:00:09After an intense commitment ceremony last night, one bride has been unable to locate her husband.
00:00:40Having spent the night in a separate room, Ellie is returning to their apartment to search for Ben.
00:00:48It took a lot for me to get up last night, sit on that couch in front of the experts
00:00:52and the entire group and kind of air this issue that we've been having.
00:00:57I feel like you're trying to control the narrative and in turn you're kind of controlling me.
00:01:06I came here looking for the most genuine experience and I'm halfway through and I haven't got that yet.
00:01:13So I'm really sorry but I wrote leave.
00:01:21John said last night on the couch that this is seven days' notice for Ben to turn it around and
00:01:27I don't even know where he is.
00:01:35Hello?
00:01:37Hello?
00:01:55He's not here.
00:01:57He's literally left.
00:02:02I feel good that I've said my piece and I've said what I truly think but I'm feeling very confused,
00:02:09a bit angry.
00:02:10I don't see a way forward at the moment because he's not here.
00:02:14He's hiding away and he just doesn't want to face it.
00:02:21He said put a muzzle on your woman.
00:02:24Previously, the experts called out bad behaviour.
00:02:28I've never heard a man talk to a woman like that.
00:02:31If someone said that to me about my wife, I would not back down.
00:02:38Leave.
00:02:39It was one of the most emotionally charged commitment ceremonies...
00:02:43I'm going to leave.
00:02:45...ever seen.
00:02:46I felt disrespected.
00:02:48I felt like my bubble burst.
00:02:50I'm really sorry but I wrote leave.
00:02:53Ben, that is you being put on notice.
00:02:57While for other couples...
00:02:58I just can't get enough of him.
00:03:00I honestly can't.
00:03:00He's the best.
00:03:01...last night was a chance to celebrate their deeper connections.
00:03:05I am very happy at the moment.
00:03:06You seem to be smiling very happily over there.
00:03:09So are you giggling like a little girl?
00:03:11Oh, because...
00:03:11You haven't seen this before.
00:03:14Before expert Mel, do you find him offering you up to other men a joke?
00:03:19Held up a mirror to Tori.
00:03:21When you put it like that, that actually makes me feel physically sick.
00:03:26It sounds like a really nice friendship.
00:03:29Yep, spot on.
00:03:30Just the reciprocation.
00:03:32Like, I don't feel too desired or whatever.
00:03:34And when Lucinda spoke her truth...
00:03:37Why don't you sign me under the bus?
00:03:39A frustrated Timothy was left feeling blindsided.
00:03:43You're right.
00:03:44I told you.
00:03:46Don't say what.
00:03:49Tonight...
00:03:50Buddy!
00:03:51We have seen this week make or break some of our couples.
00:03:55The next exciting phase of the experiment.
00:03:58How was your set tonight?
00:03:59Completely caught me off guard.
00:04:01I am nausea.
00:04:02It's family and friends week.
00:04:05We're, like, doing really well at the moment.
00:04:07Tim said he was counting the days.
00:04:09Blink twice.
00:04:11We're over two nights...
00:04:13And he's not into me at all anymore.
00:04:15Our couples will seek much-needed guidance from loved ones.
00:04:20Trying to work on the good things and focus on the good things.
00:04:23Lasting time.
00:04:25And as some bonds deepen...
00:04:28So you fall in love, Jaden, or what?
00:04:32Tori's friend Leah will not hold back.
00:04:36Put a muzzle on it.
00:04:37I mean, it's not the 1950s.
00:04:39Sex is important.
00:04:42What's that like?
00:04:45This guy's hiding something.
00:04:47Plus...
00:04:48How would you like to go into this?
00:04:50Just walk in the bloody door.
00:04:51Lucinda and Timothy reach breaking point.
00:04:54Whoa!
00:04:56But this unforgettable father of the bride...
00:04:59Wow, you're getting down too low here.
00:05:01Whoa!
00:05:02..will give Timothy...
00:05:04He's a bit repetitive, I think, and a bit boring.
00:05:06..a no-nonsense reality check.
00:05:09It's a high ball, it's a brick, I can't...
00:05:11You know, it's boring.
00:05:13You need to not get your tits in a tangle
00:05:16and put your finger out.
00:05:17It could be a one-night stand, but just try it.
00:05:20Well, he should.
00:05:29It's the official halfway point of the experiment
00:05:32for our original couples.
00:05:35And some are reflecting on their journey so far.
00:05:41Regardless of, like, all the, I guess, downs that we've had,
00:05:45I'm glad that we're, like, in a good place.
00:05:48Yeah.
00:05:49Yeah, it's been good.
00:05:50Like, the commitment ceremony was definitely our best one yet.
00:05:54We went in as a team, united front, and we had each other's backs
00:05:57and we smashed it, so it was really nice.
00:06:03It's gone so quickly, but it's halfway.
00:06:06Yeah, I know, it's insane.
00:06:07Already halfway through.
00:06:08And we've got three halfway unscathed as well.
00:06:10More or less.
00:06:11Pretty much.
00:06:12Yeah.
00:06:13It's wild, because I feel like I've known him
00:06:15for, like, years and years at this point.
00:06:17I've got the lottery boyfriend here.
00:06:19Lottery husband.
00:06:21Yeah, husband, thank you.
00:06:23Thank the experts.
00:06:25Yeah.
00:06:27Down the hall, this morning,
00:06:30one groom is feeling particularly remorseful.
00:06:34Hi, Ned.
00:06:35Hi.
00:06:35Welcome back.
00:06:37I got you your old juice.
00:06:39Last night, Tristan made a startling admission on the couch.
00:06:45I'm a bit nervous that we're just going to be,
00:06:49we're in the friend zone,
00:06:50and I don't want to waste any more of your time.
00:06:52And in a highly emotional moment,
00:06:55revealed his shocking decision.
00:06:58Sadly, I have already to leave.
00:07:01I'm sorry.
00:07:03I'm sorry.
00:07:04But insight from the experts...
00:07:07Tristan, is there a possibility
00:07:09that this is you getting in your own head?
00:07:13..helped the couple to turn their marriage around.
00:07:16She's shown you she really likes you.
00:07:18Anna.
00:07:19Do you hear that?
00:07:20Yes, I do.
00:07:21This week is about you doing the work, Tristan.
00:07:24Yes, boss.
00:07:24Yeah.
00:07:25100%.
00:07:27Do I regret writing leave?
00:07:29There's three things I regret in life.
00:07:31I try not to regret anything,
00:07:32and that is now one of them.
00:07:34Everyone can tell I care about her so much, you know,
00:07:36and everyone can tell she cares about me so much.
00:07:38Right, we're just a bit lost.
00:07:39I was in my own head, self-sabotage at its finest.
00:07:43Oscar over here for the self-sabotage king.
00:07:45You know I care about you.
00:07:47I need you to understand,
00:07:48it was probably the hardest thing I'd done the whole thing.
00:07:50Seeing Tristan Wright leave last night,
00:07:53it hurt like hell,
00:07:55because other than the intimacy,
00:07:57Tristan is everything I want and need in a man.
00:08:01I think Tristan finally realised how much I care for him
00:08:05and care about him,
00:08:08and that's what maybe he needed.
00:08:10I'm sorry that I did do it,
00:08:11but I think it's actually weirdly enough
00:08:14put us, like, way far forward.
00:08:16I feel like we're in a really relaxed place now,
00:08:18which is, like, good.
00:08:19It's a lot of my own kind of insecurities been washed away.
00:08:22I've got a lot of grovelling to do this week, honey, you know.
00:08:24I've got a lot of grovelling to do.
00:08:26Grovelling to do.
00:08:27I honestly think we will just be moving forward from now on.
00:08:34But not all of our couples have been able to move forward
00:08:37from the events of the past week.
00:08:40So you backed me up, you didn't back me up.
00:08:43I heard you say, mate, that's not appropriate,
00:08:45or whatever you said about the muzzle comment.
00:08:47Forget that.
00:08:49I'm sorry, one, like, comment,
00:08:51oh, mate, come on, you can't say that, is not enough.
00:08:53When some dude with a tight man bun
00:08:55and jeans three sizes too small was going at me.
00:09:00Fine time for him.
00:09:02Fine time for him.
00:09:02I'm not talking to you, Lauren.
00:09:03Shut your mouth.
00:09:04Can you muzzle your woman?
00:09:07Muzzle your woman!
00:09:09Muzzle your woman!
00:09:11Don't talk to her like that, man.
00:09:13She needs it.
00:09:14Lauren's feelings were compounded at the commitment ceremony.
00:09:18Do you think you had her back?
00:09:21No.
00:09:21With Jonathan's apology rubbing salt into the wound.
00:09:28I apologise.
00:09:29I really love you guys.
00:09:31You're amazing.
00:09:32What the f***?
00:09:34What did you apologise to Jack for?
00:09:36Jack and Tory had a really rough night
00:09:39and I felt responsible that, you know,
00:09:41they came under the fire.
00:09:47And this morning,
00:09:49Lauren is struggling to move past
00:09:51feeling unsupported by her husband.
00:09:53There was multiple chances to stand up for me against Jack
00:09:57and the choice was made repeatedly not to.
00:10:01It wasn't like it was a one-off mistake, you know?
00:10:03And I'm still pissed off about it.
00:10:06I just think it was, like,
00:10:07almost like you just put the knife in and, like, turned it.
00:10:10But it's disappointing to see that in a group dynamic,
00:10:14when it comes up against, like,
00:10:15his alliance with the boys...
00:10:19..or with me,
00:10:20he hung me out to dry.
00:10:24Like, I know you say it's not the case,
00:10:26but I really do feel like
00:10:27your priority is
00:10:30your friendship with Jack.
00:10:33I don't expect him to get loud and confrontational,
00:10:37and I don't want that.
00:10:38That's not who he is.
00:10:39But I need to feel like I am his number one priority
00:10:43and that he has the ability to stand up for a woman
00:10:46when a man is degrading her like that.
00:10:49I f***ed up.
00:10:50I stuffed up so bad.
00:10:52She's really hurt, and I do get that.
00:10:54I feel really annoyed at myself.
00:10:58I feel like I let Lauren down.
00:11:00My partner is someone that you're meant to support,
00:11:03and I'm back.
00:11:04I'm sorry.
00:11:06Um, you know, it sucks,
00:11:08because I think we're doing...
00:11:10..doing really well.
00:11:11Um, and then I feel like I've just gone
00:11:14and really stuffed that up, too.
00:11:16I'll do better.
00:11:17I promise.
00:11:23It was a big night.
00:11:24It was a huge night,
00:11:25and I don't ever want to have a night like that again.
00:11:28Last night was a lot for me.
00:11:29Like, a lot.
00:11:30You got roasted.
00:11:32Yeah, we...
00:11:33I...
00:11:35..got roasted.
00:11:36If you think you can talk
00:11:38about a woman in that way,
00:11:40it's not going to happen on our watch.
00:11:43And after the experts pointed out Jack's questionable behaviour...
00:11:47Do you find this idea
00:11:49of him offering you up to other men a joke?
00:11:53Tori's steadfast support for her husband
00:11:55faltered for the very first time.
00:11:58When you put it like that...
00:12:02..that actually makes me feel physically sick.
00:12:08This morning, Tori has responded
00:12:10to the events of the past week...
00:12:13..with a bold and permanent statement.
00:12:16Are you nervous?
00:12:17..getting a matching tattoo with her husband.
00:12:21I just think it'll be a bit of, like,
00:12:23a f*** you to everyone.
00:12:27What do you think, babe?
00:12:28I'm pretty stoked.
00:12:29Pretty stoked?
00:12:30Yeah.
00:12:31Don't get me wrong.
00:12:32Like, the comment was woeful.
00:12:34But you can't rewind life.
00:12:38So, let's move on.
00:12:40We are past arguments now.
00:12:42We are at a point where we're, like,
00:12:44just living the Vida Loca.
00:12:46So, here we are.
00:12:49This is the best date ever.
00:12:51This is, like, a very nice date.
00:12:57Only love can hurt like this.
00:13:00We're getting along so well
00:13:02and we want to leave the experiment together
00:13:04and having a crack at the future together.
00:13:06So, if anyone's questioning, like, our connection
00:13:09and how we feel about each other,
00:13:12I think this will help answer that as well.
00:13:14My turn.
00:13:16Your turn.
00:13:19Tattoos are for life.
00:13:20Mm.
00:13:21Um, and, like, they're a statement.
00:13:24That tattoo will just be a constant reminder
00:13:27of one another.
00:13:29And the fact that it's, like, on his inner thigh,
00:13:31I'm, like,
00:13:33he'll always be thinking of me.
00:13:35Yeah.
00:13:38I'm gonna need some cream rubbed into this later.
00:13:41Say less.
00:13:43Say less.
00:13:47Every shit show that Jack and I are a part of,
00:13:49it just makes us stronger.
00:13:54I feel as though it's gonna be okay.
00:14:09Back at Ellie and Ben's apartment,
00:14:12there has been a development
00:14:14in the search for missing groom Ben.
00:14:17Do we hunt him down?
00:14:19Like...
00:14:19Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:14:22Hello?
00:14:23Hello?
00:14:24Yeah, where are you?
00:14:29Um, just, yeah.
00:14:33Outside the building.
00:14:36Are you gonna come back up?
00:14:40Are you with the producers?
00:14:42Yeah.
00:14:43Good, sir.
00:14:44Can I hear what I'm saying?
00:14:46Yeah.
00:14:47Awesome.
00:14:48Um, Ellie, I really want to come back.
00:14:51Yes.
00:14:52Um, I just need...
00:14:53I need some sleep.
00:14:54I've just had one hour's sleep.
00:14:56Um, yeah.
00:14:59He doesn't want to chat.
00:15:01He wants to chat when he's ready.
00:15:02I'm tired too.
00:15:04I think maybe you just, like, rip the Band-Aid off.
00:15:06Can you just, like, manage it for, like, 30 minutes even?
00:15:10Uh...
00:15:11I've been ready to chat since 8 o'clock this morning, so, like, why do I have to keep waiting
00:15:18for him?
00:15:18I've come into this experiment because I'm wanting to build a future with someone, but
00:15:22if that person's not here, I can't do that.
00:15:26Um, I have to go.
00:15:28Bye.
00:15:29Bye.
00:15:38Another night on my own.
00:15:41It just kind of cements what I said last night on the couch.
00:15:45This relationship is just on Ben's terms.
00:15:48He never makes me feel like I am his priority.
00:15:51And, yeah, I am a bit sick of it.
00:15:54I'm literally just laughing.
00:15:55Like, I'm actually, like, exhausted from him.
00:15:58Like, I just...
00:15:59If you don't laugh, you cry, right?
00:16:18Lucinda and Timothy are waking up in separate apartments.
00:16:21Following a tense session on the couch last night.
00:16:25The couple went into the commitment ceremony brimming with positivity.
00:16:30We have been very much focused on fun, including ending up at the stripper's bar.
00:16:37Me having all sorts of tits and arse in my face.
00:16:41But when Alessandra shone a spotlight on their slow burn relationship style, it led to an unexpected
00:16:48confession.
00:16:50So it sounds like a friendship.
00:16:51Yep, spot on.
00:16:55Like, I don't feel too desired or whatever.
00:16:58And when Timothy was put under the microscope...
00:17:01Do you believe it's possible to fall in love with Lucinda, Timothy?
00:17:05I believe it.
00:17:05It really doesn't sound like it.
00:17:07I don't get any kind of vibe.
00:17:08Yeah, I'm not convinced.
00:17:10Leaving the groom feeling betrayed by his wife.
00:17:13You're actually throwing me under the bus?
00:17:20I haven't seen Tim since the commitment ceremony.
00:17:27There's a part of me that cared or had a crush and has felt rejected and hurt and fractured.
00:17:33I think I got on the couch and just sort of gave the good and the bad and the ugly
00:17:39because I'm a big believer in being honest, just getting it out on the table.
00:17:43But I also understand that lots of people in his life have let him down and knowing Tim, I know
00:17:51he will have put his walls up massively now.
00:17:55Yeah, it's tough.
00:18:02She completely blindsided me.
00:18:05I felt really good going into it.
00:18:08We had a good weekend and then she started sort of saying, it's going nowhere.
00:18:13And then Jayden arcs up at me, so she had everyone on her side.
00:18:19My number one thing in life and love is trust and loyalty.
00:18:25But it was just a straight attack.
00:18:28There was no team.
00:18:30I am pissed off.
00:18:31I am angry.
00:18:33No, I've got no trust.
00:18:36Loyalty?
00:18:37She doesn't have any.
00:18:52Today marks an important milestone in the experiment.
00:18:55Thank you, thank you.
00:18:57With our newest couples floating in to their apartments.
00:19:01That's this way.
00:19:03The newlyweds are four weeks behind the original couples and will be taking part in a crash course.
00:19:10Oh, we look so cute, darling.
00:19:12Designed to help them fast track their relationship.
00:19:15This looks chic.
00:19:16Beginning with moving in together.
00:19:19Very intimate place.
00:19:21Yeah, we're going to be spending a lot of quality time together.
00:19:26Moving in together is a real test in any relationship.
00:19:30Okay, so what side of the bed do you want?
00:19:32Let's establish this first.
00:19:33This side.
00:19:34It allows for them to create a space together and ultimately see if they can get along and develop a
00:19:41deeper connection.
00:19:46Moved in today with the old bird to the new apartment.
00:19:48Lucky me.
00:19:49Welcome home, darling.
00:19:51Excited?
00:19:51I'm excited.
00:19:52Yeah, it is the first time I've lived with a partner, but that doesn't really worry me because things are
00:19:56going good with Jade.
00:19:57You're stuck with me the rest of the time.
00:19:59That's all right.
00:20:00I'm happy with that, darling.
00:20:02I'm happy with that.
00:20:02It's a very warm, fuzzy feeling.
00:20:05Yeah.
00:20:06Oh, God.
00:20:07What's going on here?
00:20:08But no, it's nice.
00:20:09I think we're in a good position considering seeing a lot of other couples.
00:20:14I'm like, oh, Jesus.
00:20:17A couple yet to move into their apartment are Ash and Madeleine.
00:20:21At last night's commitment ceremony, the couple were not united in their decision to stay or leave the experiment.
00:20:30I said stay.
00:20:35Okay.
00:20:36I'm going to leave.
00:20:39But despite writing stay, this morning Ash has had a change of heart and the pair have come to an
00:20:47amicable agreement to leave.
00:20:49I wrote stay.
00:20:50I should have wrote leave, but that's on me.
00:20:53And I reflected and 24 hours later I'm here and I'm like, no, it wasn't the right choice.
00:20:58I need to get out of this.
00:21:00If I can reflect, it was absolutely doomed from the start.
00:21:04Yeah.
00:21:04I mean, the warning signs were there.
00:21:05Hold on a sec.
00:21:07Things are good and then she started hearing voices.
00:21:10I love you beyond.
00:21:12I don't know what is going on.
00:21:16I honestly came here like with my heart on my sleeve, ready to find love.
00:21:21I still want to have a wife.
00:21:22I still want to have like a family that doesn't change.
00:21:25The path's been skewed, but I know which way I'm going.
00:21:30I know I'll get those things eventually.
00:21:40While our remaining newlyweds embark on Crash Course Week, for our original couples, the experiment is about to enter the
00:21:48next exciting phase.
00:21:52Family and Friends Week.
00:21:54Family and Friends Week.
00:21:55Oh my God.
00:21:57Are you excited?
00:21:58Yeah, it should be a good day.
00:22:00Today, Dad and Mum coming down.
00:22:02Typically, in this experiment, we have seen this week make or break some of our couples.
00:22:08The opinions and influence of loved ones can have a positive and constructive impact or a devastating one.
00:22:15Are you hungry?
00:22:16Not really.
00:22:17I'm like a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach.
00:22:20But the goal remains the same, for our couples to reflect on their journey so far, and to identify and
00:22:26address any issues that may have come up during their time in the experiment, with the help and support of
00:22:32the people who know them best.
00:22:34The first couple to receive a visit from their loved ones are Tori and Jack.
00:22:40Flowers are a bit dead.
00:22:42That's okay.
00:22:43Adds a bit of character.
00:22:44Tori is anxious about the arrival of her best friend, Leah.
00:22:49Sorry.
00:22:50Who she hasn't seen since the wedding day.
00:22:54There is something about him that is, like, reserved and guarded.
00:22:58And Leah was not shy in voicing her concerns about Jack.
00:23:03When it comes to Jack, I just have this weird feeling.
00:23:06It's just an intuition that I have.
00:23:08There is something.
00:23:09I can feel it in my bones.
00:23:12But there is something.
00:23:15It might be, like, um...
00:23:18It could be something, like, a misogynistic thing.
00:23:20I mean, you don't know.
00:23:21You won't know until it comes out.
00:23:24So the aim of today is to not tell Leah to put a muzzle on it.
00:23:28Let's not do that.
00:23:29Let's not do that.
00:23:31Let's not do that.
00:23:33Noted.
00:23:34It would be nice for Leah to see where we're at now.
00:23:39Because Jack and I, we're in a really good place.
00:23:41Really good place.
00:23:43But when it comes to Leah, I'm sure she's got shit to say.
00:23:46I don't know how today's going to go.
00:23:48I've only spent a brief, you know, couple of minutes with Leah at the wedding.
00:23:52Um, and apparently she had a couple of questions about me then.
00:23:56So, today, I want to impress her.
00:23:58And, yeah, I hope I can win her over a little bit today.
00:24:01And, yeah, we have, like, a nice relationship moving forward.
00:24:05I think you're pretty close to perfect.
00:24:08Is that Leah, dog?
00:24:21That's so nice.
00:24:23Tory and Leah's had this massive embrace.
00:24:26Oh, my God.
00:24:26It was special.
00:24:32And...
00:24:32Well done.
00:24:34I felt emotional.
00:24:36I really did.
00:24:37Yeah.
00:24:43That just, um, that blew me away.
00:24:54I definitely think, uh...
00:24:58That was amazing.
00:25:01I think he knows the right things to say.
00:25:04I'll leave it at that.
00:25:05Can I get you a drink or anything?
00:25:07Yes, leave.
00:25:07First impressions of Jacob at the wedding wasn't fantastic.
00:25:11He was a little bit standoffish.
00:25:13Um, I just felt like we didn't click.
00:25:15I walked away thinking, who is this guy?
00:25:17What are his intentions?
00:25:19Champagne?
00:25:20Yes, leave.
00:25:20Is this genuine, um, who is my friend married?
00:25:27Going into today, I just want to know if Tory's okay.
00:25:31I think I've got a pretty good read.
00:25:33I think we are so connected that she knows when I'm with a dud.
00:25:37I know when she's with a dud.
00:25:39So, I think I'll be able to tell right away.
00:25:45Well, the last time you saw each other was at the wedding.
00:25:48I, like, literally.
00:25:50I, like...
00:25:50How did that day make you feel?
00:25:52F***.
00:25:53Um, that was, it was, like, intense.
00:25:55It was surreal.
00:25:55It was good.
00:25:56It was good until it wasn't.
00:26:00You were so reserved with me that I was, like,
00:26:03this guy's hiding something.
00:26:05And you do look like a f*** boy.
00:26:06Sorry.
00:26:10Right.
00:26:13Like, honestly, after the wedding, I was so nervous.
00:26:16And all of my suspicions kind of came to a head.
00:26:19When T mentioned, like, the dinner, the dinner party,
00:26:23the most recent dinner party,
00:26:25the muzzle comment was absolutely disgusting.
00:26:28The fact that that comment was Jacob's knee-jerk reaction
00:26:32tells me that at the root of his soul,
00:26:36he is a misogynistic person.
00:26:38Right.
00:26:39We need to unpack it.
00:26:40We need to unpack it.
00:26:45Next, as some bonds deepen...
00:26:48You have everything I've ever wanted in a partner.
00:26:50You had no issue throwing me under the bus.
00:26:54Lucinda and Timothy implode.
00:26:57Obviously, I was pissed
00:26:58because everyone jumped on your bandwagon.
00:27:00..in an awkward family lunch.
00:27:02Ever since I've been here today,
00:27:04I hear the same thing going on
00:27:06about being pissed off and this and that
00:27:08and blah, blah, blah.
00:27:09He's a bit repetitive, I think, and a bit boring.
00:27:21MUSIC PLAYS
00:27:22Family and friends week is underway
00:27:25and Jack is being interrogated
00:27:27by Tory's best friend Leah
00:27:29for his controversial comment.
00:27:33The muzzle comment?
00:27:35Right.
00:27:35We need to unpack it.
00:27:36We need to unpack it.
00:27:39I'm always going to be nervous to bring that up
00:27:41because it's not my finest moment,
00:27:43but I want her to hear my side
00:27:46and sort of, I don't know,
00:27:47work my way out of the hole I've put myself in.
00:27:50So, what happened?
00:27:51Like, what happened?
00:27:52I had a go with a girl at the dinner party.
00:27:54We were having it out at the table.
00:27:56We were under fire.
00:27:57She was questioning our relationship
00:28:00and, yeah, I'm really protective.
00:28:02So, basically, I snapped and he said,
00:28:04put a muzzle on it.
00:28:07Wow, OK.
00:28:09And at the end of the day,
00:28:11I'm going to defend my territory, my family,
00:28:14you know, to the wit's end.
00:28:17I don't regret.
00:28:18I'll always protect my family.
00:28:20You've got to have someone
00:28:21that has that kind of strong,
00:28:23protective, dominant role.
00:28:25So, that's me.
00:28:26That's how I got there.
00:28:28Mate.
00:28:30I laugh, it's, you know, sorry,
00:28:32it's like one of those responses
00:28:33where, you know, you laugh at something
00:28:35but it's not funny.
00:28:36It's just kind of like so...
00:28:39You know, it's confronting.
00:28:41Yeah, I apologised.
00:28:44It's kind of disgusting that he would say that.
00:28:47Wonderful that he apologised.
00:28:49Hope it was genuine.
00:28:51But I highly doubt that.
00:28:56Are all aspects of your relationship great?
00:29:02I guess, like...
00:29:05Like, intimacy and...
00:29:06Speak, girl.
00:29:08I don't know what I can say,
00:29:09what I can't say.
00:29:10Whatever you want to dive into,
00:29:11let's go for it.
00:29:13I just want to know if, like,
00:29:15one, they're being intimate,
00:29:17and two, if it's good.
00:29:19I would be concerned
00:29:20if they're not being physically intimate.
00:29:23Sex is important.
00:29:25Mm.
00:29:26Like, what's that like?
00:29:29I've been dying to know.
00:29:35We haven't had sex.
00:29:36Yeah, yeah.
00:29:36We haven't had sex today.
00:29:37We haven't had sex yet.
00:29:39Um, yeah, I come into this...
00:29:43Sex wasn't even, like,
00:29:45I don't know, at the forefront of my mind.
00:29:47It was all about matching someone's energy
00:29:49and compatibility and values,
00:29:51and then, obviously, that would all come.
00:29:54Yeah, right.
00:29:56Is this a red flag for you?
00:29:58It...
00:30:00It's an orange flag.
00:30:02Let's say that.
00:30:02It's an orange flag.
00:30:06It's, like, unusual.
00:30:07Different for me.
00:30:08Yeah, I mean, it is really different for you.
00:30:10Yeah.
00:30:12You know me.
00:30:13Very sexual person means a lot.
00:30:15Coming into this,
00:30:16I wanted to make sure that
00:30:17what we had as people
00:30:19and a foundation and a connection
00:30:20was, like, bulletproof.
00:30:22I was kind of shocked to hear
00:30:24that they haven't been intimate.
00:30:26I'm actually shook.
00:30:27I've been throwing some advances her way.
00:30:31And she's been reciprocating.
00:30:33And, yeah, like,
00:30:34it's so awkward to be like,
00:30:35yeah, I'm, like, ready to do it.
00:30:37But, yeah, I'm ready.
00:30:39Like, there's nothing holding me back now.
00:30:41Right, OK.
00:30:42But just, like, in a really, like...
00:30:46It's, like, a sweet spot, for sure.
00:30:48Yeah, right.
00:30:48Like, super united.
00:30:51They're probably, like, the strongest in here.
00:30:55You're different.
00:30:56You even look different.
00:30:58Thanks.
00:31:00Her whole demeanour has shifted completely.
00:31:03This is something that's very foreign for me
00:31:05to observe Tori in that way
00:31:07because she's always kind of boss on it,
00:31:10controlling the situation.
00:31:11This is the first time on God
00:31:14that I've ever seen you
00:31:16just, like, relinquish control.
00:31:18I'm shook.
00:31:19I really am, like...
00:31:22It's just happened so organically and naturally.
00:31:24She's just, like,
00:31:25submitted some of that control
00:31:26to the man, I suppose.
00:31:28Like, they're your words.
00:31:29And I haven't had to push anything,
00:31:31force anything.
00:31:33I definitely think, uh,
00:31:35he's a good talker.
00:31:38But I've just got to have faith and trust
00:31:40in what Tori's telling me.
00:31:42Well, it's been good to have you here.
00:31:43Let's take good care of her.
00:31:45Before you go,
00:31:46I'm going to give you something.
00:31:47Oh, my God.
00:31:50Do you trust Jack?
00:31:52I've known him for five minutes.
00:31:54How much can you really trust somebody
00:31:56after five minutes?
00:31:59I was like...
00:32:01Oh!
00:32:02Oh, God!
00:32:04I bought tricks,
00:32:05and that was a perfect way
00:32:08to get her on side.
00:32:10Thanks for coming, bro.
00:32:12She's had her to sit down
00:32:13with me and Tori now,
00:32:14and, yeah, she's...
00:32:15she's ticked all the boxes for me.
00:32:17I think she's a great person.
00:32:19Are you serious?
00:32:20No, I don't want to go.
00:32:22I think Leah came in here
00:32:24with a few questions.
00:32:26All right, I'm out.
00:32:28Thanks for coming.
00:32:29And I feel like Leah is leaving
00:32:32with everything resolved.
00:32:34Bye!
00:32:35Love you!
00:32:37Collectively,
00:32:38we're all singing
00:32:39from the same hymn book,
00:32:40and I don't think
00:32:40it could have gone any better.
00:32:42Wow!
00:32:53A loved-up Eden and Jaden
00:32:55have travelled to Queensland
00:32:56to meet with their families.
00:32:58Cheers!
00:32:59Meeting the fam
00:33:00and marrying strangers.
00:33:02Cheers!
00:33:04Joining them are Eden's father, Phil,
00:33:07Jaden's coach Mark
00:33:08and brother Mitch.
00:33:10Mitch did the experiment
00:33:11two years ago as well,
00:33:13so the same thing that we did.
00:33:15A bit of deja vu, yes.
00:33:16I remember meeting the parents
00:33:17and it's, um,
00:33:18it's nerve-wracking.
00:33:20So I think today,
00:33:21I just want an update
00:33:21on their relationship,
00:33:22just to sort of see
00:33:23how they're going.
00:33:24So you fall in love, Jaden,
00:33:25or what?
00:33:29He sounds like the expert.
00:33:32Sound like John.
00:33:33You honestly sound like John.
00:33:34He's been trying to get
00:33:35that word out of me
00:33:36every week.
00:33:38You getting there?
00:33:40Yeah, 100%.
00:33:41100%.
00:33:41We are easily
00:33:42the strongest couple
00:33:43and we're doing really well.
00:33:44Like, we're starting to plan
00:33:45our life outside the experiment.
00:33:47She's got the lottery partner, so...
00:33:48Oh, God!
00:33:49How's this fight?
00:33:51Oh, my God!
00:33:53Do you think Eden
00:33:54seems happy?
00:33:55Very.
00:33:56Very.
00:33:57I think Eden and Jaden
00:33:59are a great match.
00:34:00No, I'm happy that she's happy
00:34:01and that's all you want
00:34:02for your kids.
00:34:03I'm stoked.
00:34:04Things are going good,
00:34:04you know?
00:34:06It looks like you two guys
00:34:07are falling in love.
00:34:09Getting there.
00:34:10When I did the experiment,
00:34:12obviously,
00:34:12I was a little bit sceptical
00:34:13and I think that's
00:34:14where I went wrong.
00:34:15But, um,
00:34:16I definitely think Jaden
00:34:17is 100% committed
00:34:18in this experiment.
00:34:19He's going to go all the way.
00:34:21I think the experts
00:34:22have got it pretty,
00:34:23pretty spot on.
00:34:24I mean,
00:34:24that says enough for us, though.
00:34:26Here we go, guys.
00:34:27Cheers to that.
00:34:31Back in Sydney...
00:34:35Second day in the apartment, babe.
00:34:38You feeling settled in?
00:34:39I am.
00:34:40Newlyweds Jade and Ridge
00:34:42are settling into
00:34:43their new reality
00:34:44of life in the experiment.
00:34:47I feel good.
00:34:48Oh.
00:34:49And the challenges
00:34:50it entails.
00:34:51Someone's at the door.
00:34:54What is it?
00:34:56Having come into the experiment
00:34:57at the midway point,
00:34:59our newest couples
00:35:00have some catching up to do.
00:35:02A relationship crash course.
00:35:04Our crash course
00:35:05is specifically designed
00:35:06for them to fast-track
00:35:07their marriages
00:35:08and to get their relationship
00:35:09on the same level
00:35:11as their peers.
00:35:12To do this,
00:35:13they will need to tackle
00:35:14some of the same tasks
00:35:15the original newlyweds undertook.
00:35:17Yeah, I definitely feel like
00:35:19we know a lot about each other
00:35:20in a short amount of time.
00:35:22Although the couple
00:35:23shared an instant physical attraction
00:35:25on their wedding day...
00:35:26As soon as I saw her,
00:35:27I was just like,
00:35:28yeah.
00:35:29Days.
00:35:31Ridge's mischievous
00:35:32sense of humour
00:35:33raised concerns for Jade.
00:35:36There's, like,
00:35:36joking around
00:35:37and then there's, like,
00:35:38joking around
00:35:38because you're immature.
00:35:40But Ridge surprised everyone
00:35:42with his level of maturity
00:35:44after Jade told him
00:35:45that she is a mum.
00:35:47I have a daughter.
00:35:49Oh, do you really?
00:35:50Yeah.
00:35:51Ooh, what's her name?
00:35:52Victoria.
00:35:52Thought I'd have thrown that in.
00:35:55I appreciate the honesty,
00:35:56but, yeah, that's sick.
00:35:56I can't wait to meet her.
00:35:58And after a strong start
00:35:59to their marriage,
00:36:01the young couple
00:36:02are about to be tested
00:36:03with the next task
00:36:05in the crash course.
00:36:07For this next part
00:36:08of the experiment,
00:36:08we are setting
00:36:09an important task
00:36:10to explore your vulnerabilities,
00:36:12your fears,
00:36:13and your deepest thoughts.
00:36:14For this task,
00:36:15you must write a letter
00:36:16to your partner
00:36:17revealing a significant experience
00:36:19you've had in your life.
00:36:20It could be something
00:36:21you've never told anyone before
00:36:23or perhaps something
00:36:24you deeply regret.
00:36:27I definitely did come here
00:36:29to let someone in
00:36:32and let the walls down.
00:36:36But it is very hard.
00:36:38hard for me to open up
00:36:39because I feel like
00:36:40I've opened up before
00:36:41and I've just been let down.
00:36:51I'm gay.
00:36:55Dear Rich,
00:36:56I'd like to give you
00:36:57a little insight
00:36:58on my life
00:36:59that made me
00:37:00the person I am today.
00:37:02Falling pregnant
00:37:03since at 18
00:37:04was hard for me.
00:37:11During my pregnancy,
00:37:12I had a lot of stress
00:37:13going on with my partner.
00:37:15He told me
00:37:16he wanted a family,
00:37:18but then he wasn't there
00:37:19for me.
00:37:20I was alone.
00:37:21I later found out
00:37:23he was cheating on me.
00:37:25I felt like they took away
00:37:26my daughter's chance
00:37:27at a family.
00:37:30Looking back now,
00:37:31I really regret the anger
00:37:32I felt every day
00:37:34and the feeling like
00:37:35I didn't deserve
00:37:36the situation
00:37:37because I felt like
00:37:38I never got to enjoy
00:37:39being pregnant
00:37:39or being happy.
00:37:42but she has been
00:37:43the biggest blessing
00:37:44in my life
00:37:45and every day
00:37:46I'm thankful for her.
00:37:56Come on, Sue.
00:38:00Where's the tissues at?
00:38:02Are they here somewhere?
00:38:04It's a lot for a 19-year-old
00:38:05to go through,
00:38:06especially on her own,
00:38:07cheating while she was pregnant.
00:38:09Like, what a dickhead.
00:38:12He needs to have
00:38:13a good, hard look at himself
00:38:14and give himself
00:38:15an uppercut.
00:38:18I'm so sorry
00:38:18that you had to go through that.
00:38:20You were essentially
00:38:21on your own.
00:38:22Like, that's scary for anyone.
00:38:25I do appreciate you
00:38:26opening up to me
00:38:26like that, though.
00:38:28It was definitely
00:38:29the deepest we've gotten
00:38:30since we've been together.
00:38:32It was pretty full-on.
00:38:33A lot to unpack.
00:38:35It's never a nice feeling
00:38:36saying something you care about,
00:38:37cry and be upset.
00:38:39I don't like seeing you cry.
00:38:40That's...
00:38:41Nah, not for me.
00:38:42I don't like it.
00:38:45Bridge was very sweet
00:38:46about my letter
00:38:48and I did feel
00:38:49very thankful
00:38:50that he was able
00:38:51to get to that
00:38:53deep connection level
00:38:54with me
00:38:55because it's something
00:38:55I've not seen
00:38:56from him yet.
00:38:59You did good.
00:39:01Thanks, babe.
00:39:01It's brought us closer
00:39:02together,
00:39:03even though it will
00:39:04probably always be
00:39:05and the insecurity
00:39:06for me.
00:39:26This week,
00:39:27our newest couples
00:39:28are taking part
00:39:29in a crash course
00:39:30designed to expedite
00:39:32their progress
00:39:33in the experiment.
00:39:34Are you uncomfortable?
00:39:36A little bit.
00:39:38Yeah.
00:39:38For Michael and Stephen,
00:39:40it will be an opportunity
00:39:41to get their relationship
00:39:43back on track.
00:39:45Although the couple
00:39:46shared an instant connection
00:39:48on their wedding day,
00:39:49Stephen was quick
00:39:50to put his walls up
00:39:51after Michael revealed
00:39:53that his initial match
00:39:54had chosen
00:39:55to leave the experiment
00:39:5648 hours
00:39:58after the bucks
00:39:59and hens night.
00:40:00I have been
00:40:01previously matched
00:40:03in this experiment before.
00:40:04I felt sick.
00:40:06I just felt,
00:40:06am I just,
00:40:07he's fill in.
00:40:09And the couple
00:40:10are starting
00:40:11the new week,
00:40:12hopeful that
00:40:13the crash course tasks
00:40:14will help reawaken
00:40:15their initial connection.
00:40:17Nothing beats
00:40:18a classic hug.
00:40:19Allow yourself
00:40:20to melt
00:40:20into your partner's hug
00:40:21for three minutes
00:40:22and I guarantee
00:40:23in that moment
00:40:24you'll experience
00:40:24a true,
00:40:25genuine connection.
00:40:26Happy hugging,
00:40:27Alessandra.
00:40:28I like feeling
00:40:29connected
00:40:30and physical touch.
00:40:31That's my way
00:40:32of bonding.
00:40:33I manifested this.
00:40:34I manifested this.
00:40:36So hopefully
00:40:36he wants to put
00:40:37his arms around me
00:40:38and he wants
00:40:38to get closer to me
00:40:39because I want
00:40:40to move forward
00:40:41and hopefully
00:40:42the hug moment
00:40:43will keep it going.
00:40:46Timer on.
00:40:46And stretch.
00:40:47Oh, timer on.
00:40:48There you go.
00:40:50I feel like I can
00:40:50feel like your heartbeat.
00:40:52Probably.
00:40:55That's a pretty
00:40:56intense thing
00:40:57to do with someone
00:40:59because of
00:41:00where I'm at.
00:41:05They smell good.
00:41:07That's promising.
00:41:21And I think we're done.
00:41:23Are we?
00:41:25Dude, hug.
00:41:26That was a good hug.
00:41:29For me, the hug was
00:41:30incredible.
00:41:31I enjoyed it.
00:41:32It was pleasant
00:41:33to just feel him
00:41:34around me
00:41:34and be warm.
00:41:36I feel more comfortable
00:41:37with you.
00:41:38Thank God.
00:41:40Yes, definitely.
00:41:41And like I feel
00:41:42like everything
00:41:43that we're doing
00:41:43is heading
00:41:44in that direction.
00:41:46I feel so much more
00:41:48like I'm
00:41:49indescribably
00:41:50comfortable with him now.
00:41:51I don't feel
00:41:52like I need
00:41:52to keep
00:41:52putting my wall up.
00:41:54It's a good step.
00:41:56I'm liking what I see.
00:42:02It's a brand new day
00:42:04in the experiment
00:42:05and the newlyweds
00:42:07Jade and Ridge
00:42:07are waking up
00:42:09after a challenging
00:42:10crash course task
00:42:11last night
00:42:12where Jade opened up
00:42:14about her relationship
00:42:16history
00:42:16leaving her feeling
00:42:18vulnerable this morning.
00:42:20How are you feeling?
00:42:23Last night was a lot.
00:42:27The confessions letter
00:42:28brought up a lot
00:42:29of feelings for me.
00:42:31After everything
00:42:32that I've been through
00:42:33I always expect
00:42:34like the worst
00:42:35from guys.
00:42:37I'm worried
00:42:38that it's going
00:42:40to happen again.
00:42:41Obviously
00:42:42I do like him a lot
00:42:43so it is
00:42:44scary letting him in.
00:42:50Honey, why are you crying?
00:42:52Come here.
00:42:55Close to me.
00:42:58Close to me.
00:43:00Why are you crying?
00:43:02I don't know.
00:43:04You're crying for a reason.
00:43:05Tell me.
00:43:07Forget everything else.
00:43:08Talk to me.
00:43:19Talk to me, honey.
00:43:21Like, I just feel like
00:43:23we are good
00:43:24and so like
00:43:25it does make me
00:43:26like
00:43:27nervous.
00:43:29And I just get
00:43:30in my own head
00:43:31because I feel like
00:43:33I don't really
00:43:34deserve
00:43:34to like
00:43:35have someone
00:43:36like being
00:43:37real good to me.
00:43:39So I'm like
00:43:40kind of waiting
00:43:41for you to up
00:43:41and leave.
00:43:42Oh, honey.
00:43:47I'm not going anywhere.
00:43:49Okay?
00:43:50All right.
00:43:51I understand
00:43:52that you've had
00:43:52a rough go.
00:43:53I don't plan
00:43:54to go anywhere
00:43:55and I definitely
00:43:55see potential in us.
00:43:57You have everything
00:43:58I've ever wanted
00:43:59in a partner.
00:44:01You know,
00:44:01literally everything
00:44:01I asked for
00:44:02they gave me
00:44:03right here.
00:44:05You really are.
00:44:06It's never easy
00:44:07hearing somebody
00:44:09care about cry.
00:44:10Obviously that stems
00:44:10from trauma
00:44:11that she's had
00:44:11in the past
00:44:12with previous partners.
00:44:13I really do care
00:44:14about her
00:44:14and I really do
00:44:15like her.
00:44:16And I need to
00:44:16prove that to her
00:44:17as well this week.
00:44:18So that's
00:44:19our little homework
00:44:20for the week.
00:44:21So just work
00:44:23with me, okay?
00:44:24I'm not going
00:44:25to get up and leave.
00:44:26I have never
00:44:27had anyone
00:44:27treat me like
00:44:28Bridget's treating me.
00:44:29Just know
00:44:30that you deserve
00:44:31someone to treat you
00:44:32well and...
00:44:37I feel like
00:44:38he's reassured
00:44:38me so much.
00:44:40I didn't expect
00:44:41for someone
00:44:42to care for me
00:44:43the way Bridget does.
00:44:44I do feel
00:44:45very thankful
00:44:45to have been
00:44:46matched with him.
00:44:54Next.
00:44:55Come on, Tim.
00:44:56It's time to move on.
00:44:57He's a bit repetitive,
00:44:58I think,
00:44:58and a bit boring.
00:45:00Lucinda's dad...
00:45:01Wow, you are
00:45:02a brick, I'm sure.
00:45:03...does not
00:45:04hold back.
00:45:05I'm all
00:45:05into the brick,
00:45:06I can't, you know,
00:45:08it's boring.
00:45:19With Family and Friends
00:45:21Week in full swing,
00:45:23Lucinda and Timothy
00:45:25are getting ready
00:45:26in separate apartments
00:45:27to meet their loved ones.
00:45:29It's a new day,
00:45:31catching up with
00:45:31friends and family.
00:45:32We're in a bit
00:45:34of no man's land.
00:45:35Tim obviously
00:45:36is very disappointed
00:45:38in me.
00:45:39He thinks I pushed
00:45:40him under the bus
00:45:41at the commitment
00:45:42ceremony
00:45:43and the walls
00:45:44have gone up again.
00:45:46This relationship
00:45:48with Tim
00:45:48has not been
00:45:49smooth sailing.
00:45:50This is not
00:45:51a sail trip
00:45:52on the Greek Isles.
00:45:55This is a sail
00:45:57trip
00:45:57in the rough
00:45:59waters
00:45:59of, I don't know,
00:46:01the Baltic Oceans
00:46:03on a windy,
00:46:04old stormy night.
00:46:06I'm not sure
00:46:07where this
00:46:08relationship's going.
00:46:09What I am
00:46:09committed to
00:46:10is not giving up
00:46:11on it.
00:46:12So I hope
00:46:13that we
00:46:14can move through
00:46:15and get beyond
00:46:16our differences.
00:46:18Best case scenario
00:46:20is that
00:46:21Tim and I
00:46:22would feel
00:46:23more connected
00:46:24with the support
00:46:25of our loved ones
00:46:26that maybe
00:46:28some more walls
00:46:28would come down.
00:46:29That would be
00:46:30the best case scenario
00:46:31I think.
00:46:32So that's what
00:46:33I'm manifesting.
00:46:35Today I've got
00:46:36a little extra
00:46:36protection on.
00:46:37I've got my
00:46:38crystal quartz
00:46:39as a big
00:46:40you know,
00:46:42just as a bit
00:46:42of a filter
00:46:43around this
00:46:44heart chakra area.
00:46:46But I am hopeful
00:46:48that we can
00:46:49work through it.
00:46:51But down the hall
00:46:52Timothy is not
00:46:53feeling so hopeful.
00:46:55The commitment
00:46:56ceremony?
00:46:57It was a shit show.
00:47:00We haven't
00:47:01seen each other
00:47:02since then.
00:47:03She threw me
00:47:04under the bus.
00:47:05We had a good
00:47:05weekend
00:47:06but she then
00:47:08started sort of
00:47:09saying I'm wasting
00:47:10her time here
00:47:11and just
00:47:12it's going
00:47:13nowhere.
00:47:13I'm still
00:47:14pissed off.
00:47:15The whole thing
00:47:16really hurt me.
00:47:17Every time I do
00:47:18drop that wall
00:47:19a little
00:47:19I seem to
00:47:20get burnt
00:47:21and the more
00:47:23times you get
00:47:23burnt the more
00:47:24you don't want
00:47:25to let anyone
00:47:27in.
00:47:31Meanwhile
00:47:31in the inner
00:47:32west of Sydney
00:47:35Lucinda's parents
00:47:36Michael and Susan
00:47:37have flown in
00:47:38from Melbourne
00:47:39for lunch
00:47:40and are eager
00:47:41to catch up
00:47:42with their
00:47:42daughter.
00:47:43We're looking
00:47:44forward to
00:47:44grilling the two
00:47:45of them
00:47:45and see what's
00:47:47happening.
00:47:47Yeah it'll be
00:47:48very exciting.
00:47:49It will be
00:47:49very exciting.
00:47:51Hello.
00:47:53Wow you're getting
00:47:54down too low here.
00:47:55Whoa.
00:47:56Here we go.
00:47:56My goodness.
00:47:59Lucinda, we love
00:48:00Lucinda.
00:48:01We miss her.
00:48:02We've been waiting
00:48:03all day to give her
00:48:04a hug.
00:48:04We have been.
00:48:05She is the most
00:48:07beautiful, loving
00:48:08person.
00:48:09Lucinda and Tim's
00:48:11relationship, well
00:48:12we don't know a lot.
00:48:14We would hope that
00:48:15you know it's going
00:48:16along reasonably well
00:48:18and that they're happy.
00:48:46How would you like to
00:48:47go into bed?
00:48:48Just walk in the
00:48:49bloody door.
00:48:56Well I would like
00:48:57to feel connected.
00:49:02I'm happy to move
00:49:03on and it's not, I
00:49:05don't want to harp on
00:49:07about it and that's
00:49:08all, that's all I want
00:49:08to say.
00:49:09I'm happy to move on.
00:49:10Julie noted.
00:49:13It's been a rocky
00:49:14week and I suppose
00:49:15let's just be honest.
00:49:16But like, okay, the
00:49:18rocky week is you had
00:49:19no issue throwing me
00:49:21under the bus at the
00:49:22CC.
00:49:26And I think you
00:49:27relished in the fact
00:49:28that I was getting my
00:49:29ass handed to me.
00:49:30I don't, I don't
00:49:31agree with that.
00:49:50Can we get out?
00:50:03She loved the fact
00:50:04that John handed me
00:50:05my ass.
00:50:06She loved the fact
00:50:07that old friggin'
00:50:08Fabio jumped in.
00:50:10She loved it.
00:50:13This is a shit way
00:50:14to walk in.
00:50:23What's up?
00:50:25I would love it
00:50:27if we, you know,
00:50:30did go in as a team
00:50:31and I'm sorry.
00:50:33I up on the couch.
00:50:35You're absolutely right.
00:50:36But there's also been
00:50:37hurts and pains on my
00:50:39side.
00:50:40I felt really good
00:50:41going into it.
00:50:42And then you just
00:50:43started piling it on.
00:50:44There was no team.
00:50:46And it's almost like
00:50:47you like the fact that
00:50:48that f***ing dickhead
00:50:50Jaden spoke up.
00:50:50I actually didn't.
00:50:51I just got caught up.
00:50:53I've explained that.
00:50:54I don't, you know,
00:50:55I'm trying my best here.
00:50:56I am.
00:50:57You know?
00:50:58And I get where
00:51:00you're coming from too.
00:51:01Mm.
00:51:04Okay, well,
00:51:05how are we going to go in here?
00:51:06We're going in,
00:51:08like, just,
00:51:09like, let's shake it out.
00:51:10Come on.
00:51:10Let's just go in there.
00:51:12But I just would like to,
00:51:14I'd like us to be okay
00:51:16before we go in.
00:51:17We're fine.
00:51:17We're fine.
00:51:18Yeah.
00:51:24Brutally honest.
00:51:35Lucinda's parents,
00:51:37Susan and Michael,
00:51:38are being joined
00:51:39by Timothy's close friends,
00:51:41Rachel and Brett,
00:51:42as part of Family and Friends Week.
00:51:46I was really hopeful
00:51:47on the wedding day.
00:51:49Tim doesn't let people
00:51:51in easily at all.
00:51:53And Lucinda seems very deep,
00:51:55very connected.
00:51:56I thought,
00:51:57maybe she's exactly
00:51:58what Tim needs
00:51:59and maybe Tim's
00:52:00exactly what she needs.
00:52:01And I thought they could
00:52:02hold a mirror up to each other
00:52:03and that he could
00:52:04soften a little bit.
00:52:05So I really can't wait
00:52:06to see how it's going.
00:52:08I'm a bit nervous.
00:52:09I'm waiting for them
00:52:10to come through that door.
00:52:11It's been a long wait.
00:52:12We hope their marriage
00:52:13is going along well.
00:52:14Yes, we do.
00:52:15We are wondering.
00:52:17Mm.
00:52:17We are wondering.
00:52:20Okay.
00:52:21Okay.
00:52:22Okay.
00:52:30Yeah, we want to hear what
00:52:31Naseem's got to say,
00:52:32obviously.
00:52:32And Tim?
00:52:32Yeah, and vice versa.
00:52:34Yeah, 100%.
00:52:35Whoa!
00:52:37Hello.
00:52:39How are you?
00:52:39How are you?
00:52:40How are you?
00:52:40How are you?
00:52:41How are you?
00:52:41Good to see you.
00:52:42You don't know how much you are.
00:52:44How are you?
00:52:45So good.
00:52:47Long time no see,
00:52:48both of you since.
00:52:49It's been a while,
00:52:50hasn't it?
00:52:51I know.
00:52:51Look at that suit.
00:52:53I love that suit.
00:52:53Well, I did orange for you.
00:52:55All right.
00:52:55That looks good.
00:52:57All right.
00:53:00So I suppose we should get down
00:53:01to the nitty gritty.
00:53:02Let's do it.
00:53:03Shouldn't we?
00:53:03How are you two guys going?
00:53:04Tell us a few things.
00:53:06Let's start.
00:53:11We've had a bit of a rough drop
00:53:13this week.
00:53:14This week?
00:53:14A little bit of a rough drop.
00:53:16So what's happened?
00:53:17What's made it up?
00:53:18So the commitment ceremony
00:53:20was my bad.
00:53:21Like in the commitment ceremony,
00:53:22I gave the good,
00:53:23the bad and the ugly
00:53:24rather than celebrating
00:53:26the lovely little things
00:53:27that Tim was doing,
00:53:30is doing.
00:53:30Well, it wasn't so much that.
00:53:32It was,
00:53:33it was,
00:53:34we had a good couple of days
00:53:36and we were actually
00:53:37having a lot of fun.
00:53:38And then the experts said,
00:53:40is it going to move forward?
00:53:41And you said,
00:53:42am I wasting my time here?
00:53:44And then everyone seemed
00:53:46to jump on that comment
00:53:47and that bandwagon.
00:53:49So how did you feel about that?
00:53:50It pissed me off.
00:53:52Yep.
00:53:53I feel like I got
00:53:54into the spiral
00:53:55of the ceremony
00:53:56where they're asking you
00:53:57questions
00:53:58and I was in the,
00:53:59like,
00:54:00you know,
00:54:00and it was too much.
00:54:02I regret how I behaved.
00:54:05Well,
00:54:05at least you're honest.
00:54:06That's good.
00:54:07Then maybe you had reasons
00:54:08to behave like that,
00:54:09though,
00:54:09right?
00:54:14What has,
00:54:14I suppose,
00:54:15what has Tim done?
00:54:16Because we want to hear
00:54:17both sides of everything.
00:54:18We want to hear the truth.
00:54:19We want to get it out today.
00:54:20I suppose for me,
00:54:21it's managing
00:54:21my own expectations.
00:54:24I think Tim is a great bloke.
00:54:27I do have a bit
00:54:28of a crush on Tim.
00:54:30Definitely the first
00:54:31couple of winks
00:54:32was very forward
00:54:33and forthright about that.
00:54:34Yeah.
00:54:35And then it was sort of
00:54:36like,
00:54:37oh,
00:54:38he doesn't,
00:54:39you know,
00:54:41find me
00:54:42sexually attractive.
00:54:47So on the couch,
00:54:49I'd opened up
00:54:50and said,
00:54:51you know,
00:54:51I'll be honest,
00:54:52I don't feel
00:54:54assured.
00:54:55I just haven't felt
00:54:56celebrated
00:54:57or seen
00:54:58or that I'm beautiful
00:54:59or,
00:55:00you know,
00:55:01kind of like led.
00:55:07Honestly,
00:55:07have you tried
00:55:09to work on
00:55:10that sexual attraction?
00:55:16Yes.
00:55:17We were just
00:55:18having a good time
00:55:19with no expectation.
00:55:21And that's what
00:55:22I got so shitty about.
00:55:23We went out
00:55:24and had a couple
00:55:24of really good days.
00:55:25Like we went to shows
00:55:27and we did this
00:55:27and we were actually
00:55:28having a lot of fun.
00:55:30But then when we went
00:55:31to that CC,
00:55:32I just felt like
00:55:33all that good time
00:55:35was just thrown
00:55:36under the bus
00:55:36and everyone's
00:55:37having a dig at me.
00:55:40I felt I was
00:55:41blindsided.
00:55:42We went into that
00:55:43a certain way
00:55:44and then what you
00:55:45came out with
00:55:46on the couch
00:55:47was a complete
00:55:47blindside.
00:55:49It pissed me off.
00:55:51When I was getting
00:55:52grilled at that CC,
00:55:54when that other
00:55:55idiot jumped in,
00:55:56you weren't there.
00:55:57You were quite happy
00:55:58to watch me
00:55:59get frigging
00:56:00just hammered.
00:56:00Why did you think
00:56:01she was happy?
00:56:02Well, because
00:56:03everyone was on
00:56:03your side.
00:56:10I could just
00:56:11see it in his eyes.
00:56:13I could just
00:56:14tell Tim was
00:56:14just angry.
00:56:17Obviously,
00:56:17I was pissed
00:56:18because everyone
00:56:18jumped on your
00:56:19bandwagon.
00:56:21If you really
00:56:22know Tim,
00:56:23he's got an
00:56:23exterior and
00:56:24he's got an
00:56:25ego and he's
00:56:25got pride.
00:56:26I'm just sort
00:56:27of thinking back
00:56:27of the situation
00:56:28and it's just...
00:56:31But she's
00:56:32apologised.
00:56:37I'll tell you
00:56:37what, if I
00:56:38had have known
00:56:38that's what
00:56:39she was going
00:56:39to go in
00:56:40there with,
00:56:40I would have
00:56:41gone done.
00:56:45Finished.
00:56:46You've made
00:56:46your point.
00:56:47Yeah, pretty
00:56:47clear.
00:56:48Yeah.
00:56:48Yeah.
00:56:49He's very
00:56:50stubborn and
00:56:51sometimes he'll
00:56:52find fault and
00:56:53run away.
00:57:01Why do you
00:57:01think Tim is
00:57:02that way?
00:57:05Um, I think
00:57:07he's had a lot
00:57:08of trauma.
00:57:12And I think
00:57:13that's how he
00:57:14deals with it.
00:57:32sorry, I think he
00:57:33shuts down and I
00:57:35think he just, you
00:57:37know, he's got
00:57:37nowhere to direct
00:57:39his, his feelings
00:57:41and, um, I just
00:57:45think that he's
00:57:47just got a lot of
00:57:47demons because a
00:57:49lot of bad stuff's
00:57:51happened to him.
00:57:52Yeah.
00:57:55Yeah.
00:57:56At the end of the
00:57:57day, it's been a
00:57:59gone.
00:57:59Is it worth having
00:58:00a blue about it?
00:58:03You can see there's a
00:58:04lot of button heads
00:58:04here.
00:58:05Very much so.
00:58:05And it's not
00:58:06something to hang
00:58:06on to.
00:58:07Yeah, I agree.
00:58:08You know, you've
00:58:08got to push it
00:58:08aside and be done
00:58:09with it and let
00:58:10it go.
00:58:13Do you think you
00:58:14can move forward?
00:58:15Like, what, are you
00:58:16honest?
00:58:16Yeah, where are you
00:58:17at with that?
00:58:17Yeah.
00:58:19Look, it's, it's,
00:58:21it's, it's pretty
00:58:21shaky right now.
00:58:27I would say more
00:58:29out than in.
00:58:33Oh, Luke.
00:58:38Oh, Luke.
00:58:39I know you try.
00:58:40You're such a, you
00:58:41And you do love
00:58:42parts of him, don't
00:58:43you?
00:58:43Very much.
00:58:44I can see that.
00:58:56My true thoughts
00:58:57on Tim is that I
00:58:59don't think he knows
00:59:00how to move on.
00:59:01I think he's stuck
00:59:02in the past.
00:59:04I think he's very
00:59:05stubborn.
00:59:07Sometimes I feel as
00:59:07though you maybe get
00:59:08pissed off a little
00:59:09bit too much.
00:59:10Ever since I've been
00:59:11here today, I hear
00:59:12the same thing going
00:59:13on about being
00:59:15pissed off and this
00:59:16and that and blah,
00:59:17blah, blah.
00:59:18Come on, Tim.
00:59:19We've heard about
00:59:19all that.
00:59:20You got it.
00:59:21It's time to move
00:59:21on.
00:59:23He's a bit repetitive,
00:59:24I think, and a bit
00:59:25boring.
00:59:26He's got my lovely
00:59:27daughter there.
00:59:28And what have you
00:59:30done to, you know,
00:59:31zzz things up a bit?
00:59:42following a disastrous
00:59:43start to their family
00:59:45and friends' lunch,
00:59:46with Timothy unable
00:59:48to move past the events
00:59:49of the last commitment
00:59:51ceremony,
00:59:52Lucinda's dad,
00:59:53Michael, has taken him
00:59:54aside for a chat.
01:00:09I know I'm a bit biased
01:00:11with my beautiful
01:00:11daughter, but I think
01:00:13one of the most
01:00:13important things is
01:00:14respect for the other
01:00:15person, and I don't
01:00:16think you give a great
01:00:17deal of respect for Lucy.
01:00:19No, I do respect her.
01:00:22I do.
01:00:23Uh-huh.
01:00:23It's just I get pissed
01:00:25off.
01:00:26Yeah, I mean, that's
01:00:27what we've been talking
01:00:27about ever since we've
01:00:29arrived.
01:00:29That's a cop-out.
01:00:30I'm sorry.
01:00:33Do you think it's time
01:00:34maybe not to get pissed
01:00:35off so easily and change
01:00:37a few of your little
01:00:38habits?
01:00:40You can do it.
01:00:42It's a tough one.
01:00:43No, it's not.
01:00:44Come on.
01:00:45It's a tough one.
01:00:46For me, it's a tough one.
01:00:47Wow, you are a brick,
01:00:49aren't you?
01:00:51You're a wall.
01:00:53You can't jump over
01:00:54that wall, can you?
01:00:54It's just a tough one.
01:00:58It's a hard one.
01:00:59It's a brick.
01:01:00I can't, you know,
01:01:01you know, it's boring.
01:01:04Yeah.
01:01:07You know, and I'm getting
01:01:08pissed off with listening
01:01:09about that, you know,
01:01:10you know what I mean?
01:01:13From my point of view,
01:01:15you need to sort of not
01:01:17get your tits in a tangle
01:01:19maybe sometimes and put
01:01:21your finger out.
01:01:27He made me laugh and
01:01:28when I laugh, I drop my
01:01:29walls.
01:01:30Yeah, there's a little bit
01:01:31of key information for
01:01:32you.
01:01:35I do like your advice.
01:01:36I sometimes can hold a
01:01:38grudge.
01:01:39Don't.
01:01:40I want Lucy to be happy.
01:01:41I know she's not happy at
01:01:43the moment.
01:01:44And because she's trying in
01:01:45her way so hard and, you
01:01:48know, I don't know whether
01:01:49you're, whether you are or
01:01:50not, you know, you know
01:01:53there's a time frame on this
01:01:54show.
01:01:55Yeah, and that's why, you
01:01:56know, and, you know, you
01:01:57can't keep lingering, can
01:01:59you?
01:01:59You know what I mean?
01:02:01No, you can't.
01:02:02And I get it.
01:02:03What, four or five weeks
01:02:05since you've been in this
01:02:06relationship?
01:02:07So, hey, you know, come on.
01:02:08You've got a lovely lady
01:02:09that's attracted to you and
01:02:12you need to maybe try a
01:02:15little bit harder.
01:02:19Um.
01:02:21Yeah, he thinks I'm not
01:02:23stacking up.
01:02:24And it's tough to hear.
01:02:26It's really tough to hear.
01:02:27I know I'm not easy.
01:02:29I do feel that she could
01:02:30have got somebody easier.
01:02:33I guess the difference
01:02:34between you and Lucinda
01:02:36right now is that she's got
01:02:37quite an open heart.
01:02:39Whereas you're very guarded
01:02:41and defensive.
01:02:44100%.
01:02:44Yeah, you're completely
01:02:47right.
01:02:47She looks for the good in
01:02:49people and she looks for
01:02:51the good in every situation.
01:02:52I look for the negative.
01:02:55I've got walls up everywhere.
01:02:57I've got more baggage than
01:02:59Qantas.
01:03:00Could you possibly find
01:03:02anyone better equipped at
01:03:04dealing with the baggage
01:03:06that you carry?
01:03:08No, you actually
01:03:10couldn't.
01:03:17I know.
01:03:18It takes a special sort of
01:03:20person that wants to be with
01:03:22me.
01:03:22So I know how special she is.
01:03:26Yeah.
01:03:28Look, I'm not perfect.
01:03:30I know that.
01:03:30No one's perfect.
01:03:32We've all got our failings.
01:03:34But are you going to try
01:03:36with Lucinda?
01:03:39I'm going to have a chat
01:03:40with her this afternoon.
01:03:41A nice chat.
01:03:42No being pissed off?
01:03:44No.
01:03:44Good.
01:03:45I'm going to have a chat.
01:03:46Good.
01:03:47Deal.
01:03:47Please.
01:03:48I'd like that.
01:03:50And hey, it's not for me to
01:03:51tell you what to do.
01:03:52But we'd love to see a little
01:03:54bit more sort of action on
01:03:56your behalf.
01:03:57Yeah.
01:03:57Could be a one night stand
01:03:58or could be anything.
01:04:00But just try it.
01:04:02Did I just hear what you
01:04:03say about you need to have a
01:04:04one night stand with my
01:04:05daughter?
01:04:06Yes, I did.
01:04:12Well, he should.
01:04:13Great advice for a father to
01:04:15give to a, you know,
01:04:16potential, you know,
01:04:17whatever.
01:04:18I mean, where do you go
01:04:20with that?
01:04:21Like, where do you go?
01:04:22To my beautiful daughter.
01:04:24There.
01:04:25I'll cheers for that.
01:04:26Look in the eye.
01:04:27She's beautiful.
01:04:28Yeah.
01:04:28I really feel as though I
01:04:29had a good talk to him.
01:04:31I think there is a certain
01:04:33amount of love there.
01:04:34I really do.
01:04:35She is a beautiful girl.
01:04:36There's no question.
01:04:37Yeah.
01:04:38He's quite a pleasant sort
01:04:39of a guy, but he's got to
01:04:40make a go of it.
01:04:41He'll try, at least try.
01:04:43And I hope he does.
01:04:48Hey, boys.
01:04:49How'd we go?
01:04:50It was quite a bit of a
01:04:51good chat.
01:04:52It was a good chat.
01:04:54The chat with Michael has
01:04:56made me realise that I've
01:04:58been a bit of a dickhead.
01:05:00Hopefully we've come to some
01:05:01new happy conclusions.
01:05:03That's good.
01:05:04Onward and upwards.
01:05:07I can tell you've softened a
01:05:09little bit.
01:05:09Yeah.
01:05:10Lucinda deserves more.
01:05:12I need to let go of the
01:05:14anger.
01:05:15Just let it go and move on.
01:05:16I think it's a reset.
01:05:18And yeah, and I'm, yeah, I'm
01:05:21sorry, Tim.
01:05:23Look, I can get pissy.
01:05:24I know that.
01:05:25We're not going to use do that
01:05:26anymore.
01:05:26Remember?
01:05:28And?
01:05:30What?
01:05:30Lucinda said some big words
01:05:32just then.
01:05:32What's that?
01:05:33She said, I'm sorry.
01:05:34Oh.
01:05:36I'm genuinely sorry.
01:05:37And I know that.
01:05:38I know.
01:05:39Yeah.
01:05:39Yeah.
01:05:42I thought my dad was going to,
01:05:44you know, get up on the grill.
01:05:46I was like, oh my God, where is
01:05:48this going?
01:05:48But actually in the end, it
01:05:50turned out okay.
01:05:52He can definitely soften you up.
01:05:54Yeah.
01:05:55So we'd like to make a toast to
01:05:58the happy couple.
01:05:59Cheers.
01:06:00The happy couple.
01:06:01Happy couple.
01:06:02Cheers.
01:06:03Tim is a hard egg to crack.
01:06:06But I do think he's worth up.
01:06:12I've still got more in me.
01:06:16Yeah, I'm not ready to give it
01:06:19up yet.
01:06:27Tomorrow night.
01:06:28Morning.
01:06:30Cassandra's dad, Modi, is back.
01:06:32Love, love, Modi.
01:06:34As Family and Friends Week continues.
01:06:37Obviously I want all the goss,
01:06:38the drama, the tea.
01:06:41But will Tim's friend.
01:06:43Are you feeling the tension?
01:06:44Do you need to relax?
01:06:47Undo all of Sarah and Tim's
01:06:49recent progress.
01:06:50You have to relax.
01:06:54And Ben's shock return.
01:06:57I've been unaware.
01:07:01But can he sing his way into
01:07:03Ellie's heart?
01:07:04I'm not sharing this place with
01:07:06you tonight.
01:07:07He's just wasted my time.
01:07:09Before.
01:07:10And you shouldn't.
01:07:11And I shouldn't.
01:07:12And I've never had an issue
01:07:13with it.
01:07:14I'll be right back to zero again.
01:07:15A dramatic turn for one of the
01:07:17experiment's strongest couples.
01:07:20Can their loved ones get them
01:07:22back on track?
01:07:24I don't understand what's going on.
01:07:26Or is it too little, too late?
01:07:29And he's not into me at all
01:07:30anymore.
01:07:33Oh.
01:07:37Música
01:07:38Música
