Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Previously, after seven intense weeks in the experiment, the next phase of the
00:00:13experiment began. Feedback week saw our couples receive fresh perspectives on
00:00:21their marriages from their peers. Did you see the commitment ceremony when he was
00:00:26like, Sam will come to Sydney and then we'll do this? We had not spoken about that plan.
00:00:31Sam was able to express his concerns about Chris making future plans for the
00:00:35pair without consultation. I just feel like I didn't get a say or a voice at all.
00:00:41Alyssa warned David not to discuss those messages. The comments were vile,
00:00:46disgusting. But how do you know what they were? We've seen them. And...
00:00:52Gia. She done her honor. I'm gonna rename her Usain Bolt. Danny was stood up.
00:00:58I'm not doing it. When Gia refused to participate in the partner swap.
00:01:02This experiment is bullshit. I think Gia, you're not giving her any drama. She's
00:01:07seeking that drama to fulfill her internal need. And after receiving direct
00:01:11feedback from Stella... The advice I got was quite reasonable, I feel. I just need to
00:01:15deliver it the right way for her to not feel offended. Fingers crossed it goes the
00:01:18right way. I just don't really care for her feedback. Scott was hesitant to share his
00:01:23findings with Gia. Um... If I knew if I went too deep, I'd be over the balcony.
00:01:34Tonight... Oh my god! It's Alyssa and Stephen's turn to get some fresh feedback. Maybe this is
00:01:42your opportunity to jump right. Take the lead, Stephen. Alright, that's it. But not all our
00:01:48participants will see this week as constructive criticism. Just like made a
00:01:52decision on how this is going. No, actually, no. That's not true. As a tense standoff ensues for one of
00:01:59our
00:01:59strongest couples... Even now, I feel like you're getting defensive. I'm not getting defensive, I'm having a
00:02:03conversation. I am sad. I'm disappointed. Do you see me as the mother-father of your
00:02:09children? Yes, I do see you as a father of my children. And as Feedback Week continues...
00:02:16No thanks. Bye. What's in the anonymous letter...
00:02:23Let me just get through this. I want to get out of here.
00:02:25...that pushes Gia to breaking point? Gia wants to leave.
00:02:37It's Feedback Week and across the city our couples are partaking in an anonymous one-on-one
00:02:43partner swap task set by the experts. The partner swap allows couples to gain an outside perspective
00:02:51on their relationships. But it was nice to just talk freely. Week after week our couples get critical
00:02:57feedback from us as experts. But this week is all about feedback from those within the bubble
00:03:02of the experiment. Their peers.
00:03:06And despite a devastating 24 hours, Alyssa is putting on a brave face and is ready to participate
00:03:13in this task.
00:03:15Obviously David and I, we've come off the back of like some pretty heavy times.
00:03:22Tonight, Juliet felt passionate enough to send me the receipts about the language that
00:03:28was used behind my back. What I just read was f***ing disgusting. But today, I just want
00:03:38to focus on the task. You know, I'm here for David and our relationship. So yes, I'm really
00:03:42excited and I'm always open to feedback. And I'm not sure who I'm going to be partnered with
00:03:47today. But I feel like it's really hard to take feedback from people that have burnt you.
00:03:52So hopefully it's not Beck. Do I look or do I not look?
00:04:06Oh, hello there. Oh my God. Hello. Oh, I walk in and I see Alyssa. I was wondering who I
00:04:15was going
00:04:15to meet. I'm like, who is he going to be? I actually feel really good. If I want advice
00:04:19and feedback, it's probably the best that it comes from Rachel's best friend because they
00:04:22talk like crazy. Alyssa knows everything. Probably if I fart in my sleep or something,
00:04:28who knows? I've been wanting to talk to you. Oh, fantastic. How's your attraction? Are you
00:04:35getting, are you, is that attraction building with Rachel? I can definitely say yes. What
00:04:40is holding you back? Nothing's really holding me back. Intimacy wise, it's taken a while to get
00:04:47there. You've made such progress. And I feel like maybe this is your opportunity to jump
00:04:53Rachel. Just need to build up that confidence more and take the lead, Steve. All right, that's
00:05:01it. How are you and Dave going? I feel like David and I are in such a good place right
00:05:07now in
00:05:08our relationship. And I feel like we're on the same page in a lot of areas. The thing I wanted
00:05:14to ask is, what do you see from the outside? I can definitely tell you this. I've seen
00:05:20Dave at those dinner parties. And when you're not around, he, he's got your back. He's got
00:05:29your back. He has your best interest at heart. And he's just amazing. He's so calm and collected
00:05:37and he respects you so much. And it's such a, and it's a connection. I've seen you two
00:05:41at the retreat, the connection you two had. It's super sweet. You are a match. There's
00:05:47no doubt about it. All I can say is keep going. Because you're a match. Look, Steve-o, I feel
00:05:54like he really took on board the feedback that I had for him. And I'm so happy about the feedback
00:05:59that Steven gave me. It was really reassuring to hear that we are a strong couple. Cheers.
00:06:04Cheers to that. Good wife. Cheers to us and our relationship. 100%. And hurry up and jump, Rach.
00:06:12The first phase of Feedback Week has come to a close. And while Alyssa is feeling reassured
00:06:19in her relationship with David, back at the apartments, David is feeling nervous about his
00:06:28catch-up with Beck. I am nervous sitting here waiting for Alyssa to walk in because I don't
00:06:36know how she's going to take the fact that I had to talk to Beck about text messages that
00:06:41Beck sent. And I did not want to talk about it, but Beck obviously brought it up. So I
00:06:46couldn't shy away from it, you know? Do you know what? I wanted to talk to you and Alyssa,
00:06:50but obviously I couldn't. About those messages. I wasn't rude about you. I wasn't rude about
00:06:55Alyssa. I was just talking about your relationship. I don't want to take away from Alyssa's part.
00:07:00I'm sure she'll talk to you in our own time, but I felt like the comments were vile, disgusting.
00:07:05But how do you... And very, like, mean and vicious. But how do you know what they were?
00:07:11Did Juliet send them to Alyssa? She did. It's hard to look past that.
00:07:19Hello, Nop. What it do? Hello. Hi. How are you? Good. How are you? I'm good. How was your day?
00:07:27Good. How was you?
00:07:29Yeah, I was good. I was good. Yeah, I was good. Who did you catch up with today? Who did
00:07:35I catch up with today?
00:07:41Oh, I caught up with Beck. Where do I begin? I sat there and I was thinking... How did you
00:07:48hold your breath?
00:07:50Because we spoke about it before you left. I was like, do not mention the messages. Well, I went in
00:07:56thinking...
00:07:56Did you mention them? She brought it up. Babe, no! She brought it up. Yep.
00:08:04The one thing I said to David today, before he left, was please do not bring up the text messages.
00:08:15And it was brought up and it upset me because I'm like, I'm really disappointed because that is something I
00:08:21wanted to address.
00:08:23Because she was like, she was apologising and then she tried to say, you should have seen the other side
00:08:28of Gia.
00:08:28And she's like, it's all Gia's fault.
00:08:32Gia has a problem with me, but she keeps on making it out like it's me.
00:08:36But Gia sent them to Juliet to try and throw me under the bus, but hurt you.
00:08:41At the centre of everything is Gia.
00:08:44I don't know what to believe anymore, but I don't care how many sorries I get.
00:08:47Oh yeah, I'm with you 100%.
00:08:49How many sorries it needs to be addressed?
00:08:52She knows that you're kind, she's leaning into you and she is manipulating you.
00:08:57But I don't... I don't believe it.
00:08:58No, but all I did was I said, look, you and my wife can sort it out.
00:09:02It's essentially what I said.
00:09:03I said, Alyssa, I'm not going to take away from Alyssa, but I said I wasn't cool with you.
00:09:08But babe, I asked you, like, not to.
00:09:10How do you think I felt sitting there and the first thing that comes out of her mouth is the
00:09:15situation?
00:09:15What did you want me to do?
00:09:17You should have said, I'm not, this is not for me to step in.
00:09:20Like, I don't agree with...
00:09:21Well, like, that's what I said.
00:09:24No, but babe, you went there.
00:09:25I asked you one thing.
00:09:26I feel like David should have just shut it down completely.
00:09:30Bec just wants a leg to stand on because as soon as Julia obviously brought her up on the couch,
00:09:34she was shitting herself.
00:09:36You should be careful with how much you are upset about me saying that
00:09:41when I have screenshots of what you've said about Alyssa and David.
00:09:47It was vile.
00:09:54She wanted to make sure she addressed it with David to try and back herself somewhat.
00:09:59But, yeah, I'm pretty upset because, like, that is something that I wanted to address girl to girl.
00:10:04I understand you're upset and I heard you loud and clear before I left today,
00:10:09but it's not something that I'm gonna, that I wanted to address.
00:10:12It's something that you can address with her.
00:10:15At the end of the day, I am very protective of Alyssa,
00:10:18and even though I didn't want to talk about the situation at all,
00:10:22when Bec brought it up, I felt like I had no choice
00:10:25because it was...
00:10:26The last person I wanted to see was that, was her.
00:10:29I know that you're pissed, just as pissed as me.
00:10:32Yeah, 100%.
00:10:32I know that you are.
00:10:33I feel like a idiot.
00:10:36I actually feel like an idiot in this whole experiment.
00:10:40Like, I've been fooled so many times.
00:10:44Bec's apology means nothing to me.
00:10:46She has proven over and over again she can't be trusted,
00:10:50and I know that she's manipulative because she always gets her f*** away.
00:10:54I'm a nice girl.
00:10:55I know.
00:10:55I trusted Gia and Bec.
00:10:57Yeah.
00:10:58I've forgiven them both.
00:10:59I've...
00:10:59And then still, it's just...
00:11:01That's what, like, hurts me a bit.
00:11:03Like, honestly, I hate seeing you like this.
00:11:06And it...
00:11:07It just frustrates me.
00:11:23I don't know what to believe anymore.
00:11:34And down the hall, Bec is awaiting Danny's return from his partner swap task.
00:11:42Hello, babe.
00:11:43Hello, darling.
00:11:45How are you?
00:11:47Good.
00:11:47How was your day?
00:11:49My day was f***ing amazing.
00:11:51Who did you see?
00:11:52How was yours?
00:11:53Good.
00:11:54Who did you see?
00:11:56The better question would be, who did I not see?
00:12:01What?
00:12:02I was meant to see Gia, but she stood me up.
00:12:07First time I've ever been stood up in my life, and it's by Gia.
00:12:10That's so funny.
00:12:12The streak is over.
00:12:14Well, that's hilarious.
00:12:14So did you speak to anyone?
00:12:15No, no-one.
00:12:17I just had a couple of beers in Bondi, chilled out, walk on the beach,
00:12:22done my thing, come back here.
00:12:24So I started tracking birds when I was 14.
00:12:26I'm now 34, 20 years, I've never been stood up once.
00:12:29So it had to happen eventually.
00:12:32Out of interest, why do you reckon she didn't show up?
00:12:36Honestly, I think she probably thought it could be you.
00:12:39And if you've lied about someone, and then you have to sit there
00:12:42face to face with them, where you can't run away.
00:12:45It's confronting, isn't it?
00:12:45It's confronting.
00:12:46When you've lied about someone, right?
00:12:49And you've lied about someone, and you've gone at them.
00:12:51Only the other night at the commitment ceremony,
00:12:53she told me to shut the f*** up.
00:12:56She probably thought there's a slim chance I could get Daniel,
00:12:59and I can't do that.
00:13:02Even if it was a 10% chance, she couldn't risk it.
00:13:06I also truly believe that she's not interested
00:13:08in showing any flaws in her relationship.
00:13:13She's not keen on that.
00:13:15And I think that would be why she's probably refused to do it.
00:13:21Do you know what I think's funny, though?
00:13:25She hasn't disrespected me, because she doesn't owe me nothing,
00:13:27but she's actually disrespected Scott,
00:13:30because this task, she could have brought them closer together
00:13:34if she got some genuine feedback.
00:13:36But because she didn't show up, she's got no feedback.
00:13:40Who'd you have, by the way?
00:13:41David, yeah.
00:13:42How'd you go?
00:13:44When Juliet left the commitment ceremony,
00:13:46she sent Alyssa and David all of the text messages.
00:13:49David?
00:13:50David read the messages?
00:13:51David and Alyssa, yeah.
00:13:52Oh, God.
00:13:53Yeah.
00:13:54And so...
00:13:55What did they say, obviously,
00:13:55because I don't even know what they said.
00:13:56Babe, I don't remember what they said.
00:14:00Alyssa is going **** down.
00:14:02Rat bitch with her rat husband.
00:14:05The only fake **** in this place
00:14:08are those two **** influencer wannabe ****.
00:14:12I did apologise to him for the messages.
00:14:16I'm just apologising over and over and over and over and over.
00:14:20And I get it, I've done the wrong thing.
00:14:22But I just feel like it's just something...
00:14:26It's just never-ending.
00:14:29Honestly, like, ****, how much more apologising can I do?
00:14:34Like, and I will because I have to
00:14:37and I'm in the wrong for writing them,
00:14:39but ****, like...
00:14:41I'm just, I'm on empty.
00:14:45Things that happened two months ago,
00:14:48Gia keeps bringing up to the forefront of issues
00:14:53and Alyssa and David...
00:14:54Juliet brought them up by sending them back.
00:14:56I sent them to Juliet.
00:14:59And they were sent two months ago.
00:15:01I'm actually just so tired, babe.
00:15:04You say you're tired of it.
00:15:05Imagine how David feels.
00:15:06Yeah, I know.
00:15:07He'd be so sick of it.
00:15:08Yeah, of course.
00:15:09And I know, like, you're saying that Gia sent the messages to Juliet,
00:15:15but the reality is if you didn't send them messages in the first place,
00:15:19she wouldn't have no screenshots to send.
00:15:22I don't care what someone had done to me or how I was feeling.
00:15:26I don't send abusive messages.
00:15:28Like, that's just me.
00:15:29You can't condone it.
00:15:31She's, like, trying to say,
00:15:32ah, Gia sent them to Juliet.
00:15:34But I'm like, but you sent them in the first place.
00:15:36Without you sending them, there is no screenshots.
00:15:39So that doesn't really fall with me.
00:15:41It all does go back to Bec.
00:15:43So, yet again, our relationship is just, like, almost smurred
00:15:48with all this other stuff.
00:15:50Like, what about that conversation was about us?
00:15:54She's worried about the screenshots that are going to be brought up
00:15:57at the next dinner party, but it's like, they probably will be.
00:16:01So if people want to say a few things to her
00:16:04and call her out of order and stuff like that,
00:16:06then she has to just take that on the chin, to be honest.
00:16:08So you've just got to run up and apologise in front of the group again,
00:16:12and then move on from it.
00:16:14Yeah.
00:16:14And just don't do no dumb shit like that in future.
00:16:44I just regret sending messages two months ago.
00:16:50I just regret it so much.
00:16:56I just feel like, for the past couple of weeks,
00:17:01retreat and jeers just non-stop for months,
00:17:06and I've told Daniel I love him,
00:17:08and then this week has been intense because it's intensified.
00:17:12There's pressure, and I never wanted that.
00:17:16I'm just really scared of getting hurt.
00:17:20I can't make someone fall in love with me.
00:17:25I just feel like a fool.
00:17:27I just feel silly.
00:17:31That's how I feel.
00:17:41That's how I feel.
00:17:44Just take a while.
00:17:45With the partner swap phase finished,
00:17:48Chris is waiting for Sam to return.
00:17:52Sam was left feeling pressured,
00:17:54after Chris revealed at the commitment ceremony
00:17:58that he had a firm plan for the pair outside of the experiment.
00:18:02I think what it would probably look like is just, like, say,
00:18:05we go, well, everything ticks the boxes,
00:18:06we'd have a place in Sydney, so he'd go to Sydney.
00:18:09I would stay primarily at the farm
00:18:11and then maybe we can float back and forth for a bit
00:18:13from Sydney to the farm.
00:18:15Oh, someone's been thinking about this quite a bit of detail.
00:18:18I think that's what it would look like if we are successful
00:18:21and I want us to be successful,
00:18:22but he has a lot of stuff to do in the city,
00:18:24whereas I'm, like, cool to be at the farm full-time.
00:18:27But after a constructive chat with Philip
00:18:29about the need to discuss this issue with Chris...
00:18:32Like, I just feel like I didn't get a say or a voice at all.
00:18:35If we'd come to that decision together...
00:18:37Of course.
00:18:38..it would have landed a lot better.
00:18:40Right now, you don't feel like you're writing your story.
00:18:42You really need to verbalise what your plans are,
00:18:46because this is a partnership, you know?
00:18:48Sam is returning to the apartments feeling encouraged.
00:18:52Coming off the back of talking to Phil,
00:18:54I feel like I can take a step forward
00:18:56and finding a resolution from Chris.
00:18:58So I really hope that we work through it together
00:19:00and that he can open up a little bit
00:19:04to my point of view of things.
00:19:07Yeah, it was good chatting with Phil.
00:19:09Um, the one thing that did come up with him is that,
00:19:13like, when we sat on the commitments ceremony couch
00:19:16and the experts were like,
00:19:18what's the plan for us?
00:19:21Um, and you sort of said, like,
00:19:22oh, this is how it works, Sam will move to Sydney
00:19:24and we can go here and this will go here.
00:19:26That's the first time I heard that plan.
00:19:29Yeah.
00:19:29And it was kind of like you've just, like,
00:19:31made a decision on how this is going on.
00:19:32No, actually, no.
00:19:34That's not true.
00:19:35I said if we were to work
00:19:37and if we survive outside of this experiment,
00:19:40I said the most ideal plan would look like
00:19:42us getting a place in Sydney
00:19:44and then living at the farm.
00:19:46Just being like, that's not how it happened.
00:19:47Like, that's how it happened for me.
00:19:49Yeah.
00:19:50So, like, disregarding that.
00:19:52Like, I sat there and, like,
00:19:53this is what I heard you saying
00:19:53and it felt like you were saying
00:19:55this is the only way.
00:19:58Um.
00:20:00Oh.
00:20:01I'm just, I'm shocked.
00:20:03Like, he's instantly defensive
00:20:05when I tried to bring up something
00:20:06that didn't feel nice for me.
00:20:09It just, like, I don't know,
00:20:10it just, I'm not used to being spoken to
00:20:14that sharply, I guess.
00:20:17Yeah, that's just a conversation
00:20:18I would have rather had the two of us
00:20:21before, like, any sort of plan
00:20:23was, like, suggested.
00:20:24No, it wasn't a plan,
00:20:24it was a suggestion.
00:20:27It was, um...
00:20:28Well, a plan is a suggestion, right?
00:20:29Well, it would be, like,
00:20:30this is the most ideal scenario for...
00:20:32Can you empathise at all?
00:20:33That might have felt, like, a bit like...
00:20:35No, but they asked the question,
00:20:36they said, you know,
00:20:36are you looking at the future?
00:20:38And I answered it.
00:20:41Um.
00:20:44Already, I don't feel like
00:20:45I have much leeway.
00:20:49Or, like, input into how this can work,
00:20:51because it's kind of, like,
00:20:53if it is going to work with us,
00:20:54it's got to work your way,
00:20:56because you have heaps on.
00:20:57But it doesn't mean that, like,
00:20:59I don't...
00:21:00Like, it would be nice for you
00:21:02to maybe, like,
00:21:04mention sometimes
00:21:06that it is a big weight on my shoulders.
00:21:13I think it's ridiculous.
00:21:14I'm 38, I've got a kid coming,
00:21:16I don't need to argue about
00:21:17coming up with an idea
00:21:18for us after the experiment.
00:21:20When I got asked a question
00:21:21and I answered it,
00:21:22I just feel like it's a bit ridiculous,
00:21:25to be honest.
00:21:26Yeah.
00:21:28If someone said that
00:21:29and I was in Sam's position,
00:21:31to me, I'd be like,
00:21:33oh, my God, that's so cute.
00:21:34They're coming up.
00:21:34He's thinking outside the experiment.
00:21:36Um.
00:21:37I wouldn't have taken it
00:21:38the way that he's taken it.
00:21:40Also, he said, like,
00:21:41you're not showing me
00:21:42a lot of empathy.
00:21:43I get called an empath all the time.
00:21:45Well, I said that
00:21:46you'll be giving up a lot,
00:21:47that it's a big change for you as well,
00:21:49but it wasn't, like, a set plan.
00:21:51Like, you could have just, um,
00:21:53chimed in.
00:21:54Yeah.
00:21:55I mean, yeah.
00:21:56I mean.
00:21:57I feel like you're getting
00:21:58really, like, defensive with me now.
00:21:59I'm not getting defensive at all.
00:22:01Well, even, like, a little
00:22:01sorry it felt like that way.
00:22:02I'm sorry that it felt that way.
00:22:04Okay, cool.
00:22:04Like, yeah, I'm sorry
00:22:05that it felt that way,
00:22:05but it was just...
00:22:06Lead with that.
00:22:07Yeah.
00:22:09Um, I can't even remember
00:22:10what language I use,
00:22:11but, yeah, it's not a big deal.
00:22:13Yeah.
00:22:16Yeah.
00:22:19I don't know
00:22:20how I feel
00:22:22when someone
00:22:23tells me
00:22:24that something I did
00:22:26hurt them,
00:22:27I'll always lead with apology.
00:22:30But instead, he was like,
00:22:31nah, that's not what I said,
00:22:32and cut me off
00:22:33when he did that,
00:22:34and then proceeded
00:22:35to tell me
00:22:36what he said.
00:22:37Um,
00:22:39I was just looking for
00:22:40just to be heard.
00:22:43Um.
00:22:57it's a brand new day.
00:22:59How'd you sleep?
00:23:02great.
00:23:03And whilst feedback week
00:23:04is bringing some of our
00:23:06couples closer...
00:23:07There we go.
00:23:08You did great, sweetie.
00:23:09Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:23:28I'm feeling like it's it's awkward because there's like a bit of tension
00:23:32between us it's not been like this yesterday he said that I have no empathy
00:23:37that is so hurtful so this morning I've got a clear head I've slept on it I want
00:23:44to just try and clear it up and move forward how you feeling after yesterday
00:23:49yeah good yeah cool yeah I said everything I wanted to say mm-hmm yeah
00:23:55yeah I just feel like um I just like to revisit it quickly just so that I can
00:23:59like move forward yeah so as hard as it was for you as equally as hard for me
00:24:05and I think you said like I wasn't showing any empathy or whatever so that's kind of
00:24:09hurt me a little bit because um you know everyone knows me as an empath like I am
00:24:14quite empathetic to people and I didn't realize that you felt like I was not
00:24:18showing any empathy like I felt like I needed more empathy around that
00:24:23situation more empathy about the moving situation yeah I just feel like you're
00:24:27maybe like sweeping under the rug a little bit how big a deal it was that's
00:24:30what it felt like okay yeah yeah when Mel asked me that question it was just a
00:24:35throwaway like thought that I had was on a run I do feel like yeah maybe that that
00:24:40comment was maybe misconstrued or whatever I'm happy to like just put like
00:24:45move forward from it even now I feel like you're getting defensive I'm not getting
00:24:51here listening to you I think the saying that he didn't give me empathy comment
00:24:54hurt him I guess because he sees himself as quite an empath but I think asking for
00:24:59more empathy shouldn't really be met with defensiveness he's still defensive but
00:25:05again he didn't like me saying that today yeah I'm super sensitive to like to
00:25:10sharp talking I guess I'm not used to it at all mm-hmm it's not how I like ever
00:25:13communicate yeah so maybe just like if yeah you could be a little bit wary of
00:25:19that sure I'll take that on board I am sad I'm disappointed this is all stemmed
00:25:28from the comment that I made on the couch Sam's upset that I didn't consult
00:25:32him prior to thinking about this I thought it was cute I thought it was
00:25:36admirable that I had thought ahead of the experiment he obviously feels different
00:25:40he also feels that I was too defensive I disagree I think I just tried to
00:25:47communicate with him this morning it doesn't seem to be going anywhere so yeah
00:25:54unfortunately it's a bit orcs as feedback week continues I hate these boxes
00:26:02Beck and Danny receive a familiar task the honesty box what is one dream or goal of
00:26:09yours that you wouldn't be willing to give up for me but will it derail their
00:26:16relationship again it's not just all fun and games it's just not
00:26:20I don't know why I'm laughing I'm sorry I'm sorry don't touch me I'm joking I'm joking
00:26:28you're pissing me off you're absolutely pissing me off
00:26:48as feedback week continues the experts have prepared another task for our couples
00:27:04as the experiment enters its final weeks it's time for the couples to think about taking their
00:27:10relationships outside the experiment and consider any hurdles they may face oh I know that box I've
00:27:20seen that well I've seen that before one of the tools we use to assist this process is the honesty
00:27:26box which will ask our couples to face these hard issues as you all know life outside the experiment
00:27:34may come with some pretty hefty hurdles we hope that you can tackle these hard topics head-on together
00:27:40not only answering the questions honestly but providing feedback framework and insight
00:27:48for our couples these questions will test whether they are able to align on their futures Stella and
00:27:55Philip jump straight into the challenge shall we yeah do you see me as the mother father of your
00:28:01children yes I do see as a father of my children you have great genes stud we both align on
00:28:09so many
00:28:10things yes you it would be definitely awesome on that front and you'd be a really good milk
00:28:22if we had to do long distance for a while how much contact do you expect once every fortnight at
00:28:30least for three months and then we move to Sydney I like that for Rachel and Steven this task offers
00:28:39an
00:28:39opportunity to open up can you see yourself falling in love with me can I see myself falling in love
00:28:47with you the way things are going yes I can you're accepting me for my flaws you're leaning into my
00:28:55hobbies you're just an amazing woman ah it makes me feel really good it really does and it makes me
00:29:02really excited for the future I'm gonna swipe this box it's good um keep all sorts of things in here
00:29:09keep all our trinkets keep some lures in there for Beck and Danny the honesty box is bringing back some
00:29:24memories so what's it like like another like like honestly box by the box on the honeymoon yeah that
00:29:31one went well didn't it do you feel any sexual chemistry with me not too much to be honest with
00:29:40you no
00:29:51what the box oh every time I've done one of these it's gone bad do you know what I'd rather
00:29:57have done
00:29:58I'd rather have someone go whack kick me straight in the bollocks I would it's so hard for me to
00:30:04sit
00:30:04there and answer questions and talk about my feelings I'm not the type of guy to be oh I feel
00:30:11like this but who's like who's like that I want to know because I'm not ready I'm excited for this
00:30:20task because we haven't talked about how nice it that I you know realized that I was in love with
00:30:26him on the commitment ceremony couch in front of the experts and all of our friends I love you
00:30:42Jesus I don't even know what to say to that
00:30:50I know that he's not at that that place yet and when it comes to these sorts of tasks like
00:30:56I know he gets uncomfortable because he's a man and you know talking about his feelings and stuff is
00:31:01hard but I'm hoping we can be super vulnerable and honest because there's a whole life outside
00:31:08of this that we need to be thinking about what is one dream or goal of yours that you wouldn't
00:31:14be
00:31:14willing to give up for me
00:31:25I'll be honest one would one would hope you've always been honest me and the boys right we had a
00:31:32little trip to Rio planned yeah there's a boys trip and I'm going on that Daniel
00:31:45I'm joking what's the question one goal one goal of yours that you would that you wouldn't be
00:31:57willing to give up for me oh kids yeah yeah I want to be a father do you know what
00:32:05you mean
00:32:06maybe because I've just been called daddy for years I just expected him to take it a little
00:32:22bit more seriously I mean look like I love him the way he is he's a jokester like every day
00:32:29is hilarious
00:32:30and fun don't touch me I'm joking but there's a time and a place for joking around you're pissing me
00:32:38off you're absolutely pissing me off this isn't just a task that the experts have given us and it's a
00:32:47hee hee ha ha and by him acting like that it makes me feel like he's not serious about this
00:32:55relationship
00:32:56it's not just all fun and games it's just not just sometimes it's like there's a place for humans
00:33:04sometimes you want me to to drop the jokes yeah I want you to to like like today I feel
00:33:11like
00:33:12I don't know why I'm laughing I'm sorry I'm sorry because I'm trying not to
00:33:17she won't find me funny oh she didn't find it funny did she I try and crack some jokes to
00:33:27like
00:33:27make light of it and just have some fun with it because I find them a bit awkward and I
00:33:32don't know
00:33:32a lot of these questions I've never thought about so I'm thinking on my feet and then I start to
00:33:36give
00:33:36her an answer and like it's like the wrong answer back to Danny do you think you will fall in
00:33:47love
00:33:47with me and why do I think I'll fall in love with you and why I want to be very
00:34:00careful how I answer
00:34:01this question
00:34:02um
00:34:16Vector Danny do you think you will fall in love with me and why
00:34:28do I think I'll fall in love with you and why I want to be very careful how I answer
00:34:34this question
00:34:36um
00:34:40I'd assume I will yeah am I there yet no do I think it's gonna go there probably
00:34:56doesn't make you feel too good
00:35:01okay
00:35:02what do you mean what's that place for
00:35:05I knew that he wasn't at that stage right I know I knew that but using the words of potential
00:35:12I assume
00:35:13maybe it's like no I'm here I'm in this I want to make this work and this is how we're
00:35:19gonna do it
00:35:19like that's what I need not ha ha jokey jokey I might love you I might not whatever that's not
00:35:27it's not gonna work for me
00:35:31good job buddy
00:35:34why are you feeling like that
00:35:37oh I hate these boxes
00:35:40you know who does he think he is how dare you not think that you could fall in love with
00:35:43me
00:35:43I'm the best thing that you'll ever get
00:35:45the end
00:35:46like
00:35:48anyway
00:35:57the couples are about to be set a new task which will allow the feedback they give
00:36:03to be taken to the next level
00:36:06do you want me to get it
00:36:07yep
00:36:08ah look what it is
00:36:10I hope it's an apology from the experts for setting me up with Danny yesterday
00:36:14it's time for the anonymous feedback letter
00:36:19as the participants move through the experiment together they have had a front row seat to each
00:36:25other's relationships this year we have devised a new task which will ask our couples to think
00:36:31long and hard outside of their own relationships for this task you will write an anonymous honest and
00:36:38constructive letter to another couple in the experiment anonymous anonymous
00:36:43anonymous
00:36:44anonymous
00:36:45anonymous
00:36:45I said anonymous
00:36:45is he saying it right
00:36:47this is your chance to tell them what you really think about their relationship
00:36:51where you see the positives
00:36:53but also where you believe they need to make changes if they want to succeed outside the experiment
00:36:57by staying anonymous they can be completely honest with any critical feedback
00:37:02include a clear suggestion they can work on together
00:37:05this may be a ritual a conversation a task or something else you think they could benefit them
00:37:13and
00:37:43and
00:37:44and run the show
00:37:47be the boss for the day
00:37:48be the boss for the day
00:37:48yeah Rachel needs to allow Stephen to lead
00:37:50yeah she just sits back and let him run the day run the show
00:37:54the goal of me and Alyssa's anonymous letter today to Rachel and Stephen
00:37:58is to hopefully get Stephen to take the lead so that they can get closer together can get intimate
00:38:05and then I feel like oh my gosh this is my brain now
00:38:10what is there something Rachel
00:38:12I don't think Stephen's going to want to do this but it's an idea
00:38:15Davo and I have the surprise for Stephen

00:38:19I'm so excited for Rachel she's going to love this task today
00:38:25this is the golden product
00:38:28because it's about time we cracked the whip on Stephen
00:38:30and I feel like the task we've given him today is a really good one

00:41:47I'm really happy for Stephen to take the lead
00:41:50and Alyssa knows that I want that from him
00:41:53but she also knows her girl pretty well like I will very easily fall into like taking the lead

00:42:40here let me read it
00:42:41dimmed
00:42:43no thanks
00:42:46bye
00:42:47it all becomes too much for Gia
00:42:51I wanna get out of here
00:42:55Gia wants to leave
00:43:07it's Gia and Scott's turn to write the anonymous letter to Alyssa and David
00:43:13and after refusing to participate in the partner swap task Gia's mood hasn't improved
00:43:20we can start um
00:43:24getting our hands to work and start writing
00:43:30feedback week has been tough for us
00:43:33that we had an argument this week and we were feeling a little bit off each other
00:43:38yesterday's task was an ideal
00:43:39I didn't end up going on the task on the feedback meeting because I just didn't want to
00:43:45so just want to get my letter done and I'm ready for this week to be over to be honest
00:43:51I'd say positives is how
00:43:55Dave's very understanding
00:43:58calm and collective is good to lean on
00:43:59like
00:44:00so
00:44:00just say one positive at a time
00:44:03understanding
00:44:04Dave is understanding
00:44:05yeah
00:44:06he's
00:44:07not all about him we're gonna do one for her now
00:44:09oh yeah
00:44:10she brings the energy into their relationship
00:44:14so that's how they match into this even level like
00:44:17negatives
00:44:21can David long term handle and sustain Alyssa's energy
00:44:26and also Alyssa needs to give more reassurance
00:44:29yeah
00:44:29yeah well I'll get to that
00:44:32so the energy is a bit low
00:44:34I think she's just really on the edge of just
00:44:37yeah
00:44:38I think all the tasks we've had this week
00:44:41it's just she doesn't want to do them
00:44:44is David the type that can always be up for Alyssa's challenges
00:44:49just
00:44:49no he just no
00:44:55there's one thing that
00:44:56yeah hold on hold on hold on
00:44:57hold on
00:44:58hold on I'm just trying to help
00:44:59I'm trying to think hold on David
00:45:01um
00:45:04yeah like whatever I say doesn't matter
00:45:08a suggestion they can work on or a task
00:45:11what's a task then
00:45:13something different
00:45:13I don't know Scott I've no idea
00:45:14like I can't I'm sorry
00:45:23feedback week really getting to you babe
00:45:26you've got all this tension built up in your traps
00:45:32oh
00:45:32oh you're kidding
00:45:33I'll go I'll go
00:45:35you chill
00:45:37I'm so excited to get feedback
00:45:39I always think that any feedback is good
00:45:42even if it's from someone that you know you don't even really want to receive feedback from
00:45:47so I'm hoping there's some golden nuggets in there
00:45:51David and Alyssa
00:45:52oh wow
00:45:54alright
00:45:54let's read it
00:45:56Dear David and Alyssa
00:45:57we think you two are a really strong couple
00:46:01David you are calm, collected and understanding
00:46:03Alyssa you bring so much energy and fun into the relationship
00:46:07however
00:46:09David has mentioned that in this relationship he needs more reassurance
00:46:13Alyssa we think that's something that you could work on
00:46:16David we know you love Alyssa's energy but do you think long term you can handle it?
00:46:21our task we are giving you that you both write an open and honest letter with one another discussing the
00:46:27things written in this letter
00:46:31I don't that does not make sense
00:46:33that makes no sense
00:46:34hang on
00:46:37they honestly just want us to write a letter about a letter that they've just given us
00:46:41they want us to write a letter about a letter
00:46:45a letter about the letter with the things that are in this letter
00:46:49that's
00:46:55it's all slanted and it's not straight
00:47:00okay
00:47:00it's Gia and Scott
00:47:01Gia and Scott for sure
00:47:02David and I believe that Gia and Scott wrote our letter today
00:47:05that is definitely Gia's handwriting and that is definitely Gia to the T
00:47:10it was a lazy effort they didn't even think outside the box
00:47:13yeah
00:47:14that would like something fun or something to
00:47:16I agree
00:47:17spice things up or you know make us connect
00:47:20what we did for Rachel and Stephen was fun
00:47:23that was fun, that was nice and well thought of
00:47:28it's kind of killed my buzz
00:47:30yeah
00:47:31the fact that Gia has been putting all this effort in recently to build back some trust and a friendship
00:47:36with me
00:47:37and the fact that she only put not much energy into that letter, that feedback letter
00:47:43just goes to show that she's obviously not invested in this friendship
00:47:47or David and I's relationship and that goes for Scotty too
00:47:54what do you want to do about that?
00:47:55do you want to write a letter to each other or do you want to take a pass?
00:47:59I'll be honest and say we'll just take a pass
00:48:01me too
00:48:03there's no point
00:48:03I feel like me and Alyssa not taking part in this letter's task
00:48:08and doing something ourselves
00:48:10will actually bring us closer together than this letter ever will
00:48:13in fact, I mean is Joel anywhere around?
00:48:17because I think Teddy might give me and Alyssa way better feedback on our relationship
00:48:21put it in the bin
00:48:22yeah Alyssa
00:48:25might as well
00:48:26he just stole the paper
00:48:30sorry we don't want to waste the trees
00:48:37oh that was probably not my glamorous moment
00:48:45and down the hall
00:48:47armed with a strict task to take the lead
00:48:50Stephen has taken it upon himself to plan a romantic date
00:48:55how you going over there babe?
00:48:57good
00:48:57and is pulling out all of the stops
00:49:00alright
00:49:03don't you look at what I'm doing
00:49:06oh look I'm a little bit of a hopeless romantic
00:49:09and a little bit of a dope with this
00:49:11taking the lead thing
00:49:14so how are you feeling passenger queen?
00:49:16excited for one of my old ancient recipes
00:49:21I'm intrigued

00:49:32are you making me a microwave meal?
00:49:34only the best for my wife
00:49:39dammit
00:49:41you just sit tight there and
00:49:43keep looking at the wall
00:49:45I'm almost ready
00:49:48pro tip from Steve-o
00:49:51there's two ways to a woman's heart
00:49:54either it's chocolate
00:49:56or cheese
00:49:57I may well
00:49:58you know what the thought is there
00:50:02what did you make?
00:50:04I kind of went heavy on the cheese
00:50:05oh well that's not a bad thing
00:50:11I thought quick evening nachos
00:50:15cute
00:50:16yeah the cheese kind of fell out
00:50:18I love it
00:50:22he made me some really bad nachos
00:50:24and I'm really really happy about it
00:50:27I just think it's really sweet you know
00:50:30it's something so simple and so sweet
00:50:33no one makes nachos like me though do they?
00:50:36no
00:50:37and maybe they shouldn't
00:50:50don't judge the nachos just because they look sad they were still delicious made with love
00:50:55my love
00:50:56thought this can be like a little sample of what's to come it's me trying to take the lead
00:51:00I know I murdered the nachos but I actually do want to take you out on a proper day
00:51:04and not just be in the apartment
00:51:07I'm excited you know by you taking the lead
00:51:11it means a lot to me when you do so I'm very excited
00:51:15oh good
00:51:16and Stephen said that this is only a taste taking the lead
00:51:19it's only a taste it's only a dibble
00:51:22just the fact that he's organising a day and thinking about me
00:51:25it just excites me
00:51:27because it reminds you that you are appreciated
00:51:32want a nacho kiss?
00:51:33yeah why not
00:51:38tasty
00:51:40these things are a bit a serious topic in our relationship
00:51:44but fun and playfulness is actually how we're going to get there
00:51:47so yeah I'm really grateful to my secret admirer
00:51:53cheers anyway
00:51:54thank you
00:51:55I know I'm a bit of a dork but
00:51:57I like it
00:52:09as Gia and Scott await their anonymous feedback letter
00:52:13Gia's mood has only worsened
00:52:15can you please not do that right near me right now with the floss
00:52:20it's going to send me into a rage
00:52:24um
00:52:34the energy
00:52:36is
00:52:39like at the moment yeah it's a little bit tiring
00:52:43but I care about her and I want this to work
00:52:46because I don't want to have any more conflict or strain our relationship
00:52:49so I'm trying to help as much as possible to get through it
00:52:53there's only so much I can do
00:52:56can you read it?
00:52:58can I?
00:52:59yeah
00:53:00do you want it?
00:53:01well it's long
00:53:02Jesus
00:53:05give it to me
00:53:06give it to me
00:53:19can you read it?
00:53:22this
00:53:27you can read it
00:53:34you can read it
00:53:35dear Scott and Gia
00:53:36it's been great to see how your marriage and connection has flourished in this experiment
00:53:40from the outside looking in we see that you have a great physical connection and physical intimacy
00:53:46you're both committed and united
00:53:48this is a great foundation for you for a long lasting marriage
00:53:53but Gia do you take notice as to how much effort reassurance Scott gives you?
00:53:59do you give the same reassurance to Scott?
00:54:03another thing to consider has the shine of your relationship
00:54:17yeah they've written it wrong
00:54:19has the shine of your relationship has been dimmed by external distractions
00:54:24our suggestion would be Gia fully remove yourself from group chats
00:54:27all the gossip and so called drama and just 100% focus on your relationship
00:54:30I have Bec, don't worry about that
00:54:33this will totally block out any unwanted distractions, need for external validation
00:54:37hopefully the need for drama
00:54:40focus on the emotional connection
00:54:42we challenge both of you to withhold physical intimacy for 10 days
00:54:47to hold physical intimacy?
00:54:49to not have sex for 10 days
00:54:51no
00:54:53no
00:54:53I thought the letter was stupid
00:54:54I didn't get anything good from that
00:54:57it would have been better if they gave us actual advice
00:55:00that was based on facts
00:55:02it was just stupid and pointless
00:55:03and like
00:55:05no physical touch for 10 days
00:55:07if we're moving towards final ballots
00:55:08and I'm going to move in today for this man
00:55:09I'm not going to not touch him for 10 days
00:55:11I just think that's just stupid advice
00:55:13and
00:55:14yeah I'm not going to take it
00:55:18we're not going to not be physical
00:55:19because
00:55:21that's healthy in a relationship
00:55:22that's not good advice
00:55:24and also
00:55:25I'm not part of any group chats
00:55:27I was only ever in a group chat with Bec
00:55:28and I don't think Bec would write that
00:55:30because she knows I'm not in it
00:55:31so now I'm like
00:55:31who was that?
00:55:33how do you think that the letter went down?
00:55:34I just think that
00:55:35she and Scott are just cackling to themselves
00:55:40it's someone who doesn't know us well
00:55:42it's someone who doesn't know us well
00:55:44I have no idea who wrote it
00:55:46I thought it was Bec initially
00:55:48because the way that it was written
00:55:50it seemed a bit harsh
00:55:51and a bit like something that she might say
00:55:54to try and piss me off
00:55:55but if it was Bec
00:55:57she'd know I'm not in any group chats anymore
00:55:59so
00:56:00yeah I have no idea who it is
00:56:02I mean it could very well be her
00:56:03and she's trying to push my buttons
00:56:04I have no idea
00:56:05but I'm not going to sit here and conspire all day
00:56:07no idea
00:56:08I didn't get anything out of that
00:56:11but it wasn't useful really
00:56:13did you take anything from it?
00:56:15mine's just more
00:56:16covering what they've said a bit more
00:56:17in terms of the detox
00:56:19and removing ourselves from job
00:56:20we've already spoken about that
00:56:21so it's something that
00:56:22I find would help us the most
00:56:25I just don't want to be involved in anyone's shit anymore
00:56:27that's it
00:56:27because I find when everything else
00:56:29yeah but we've said that
00:56:30we've done that
00:56:32anyway this letter can
00:56:33I won't make the envelope
00:56:35because it's cute but
00:56:37no thanks
00:56:40bye
00:56:43don't care
00:56:45whoever it is
00:56:46you don't know us
00:56:49I think today Gia was not open to feedback whatsoever
00:56:52she is not interested
00:56:53she has no interest in what anyone has to say
00:56:58for me
00:56:58I like take everything with a grain of salt
00:57:01and how the letter was describing
00:57:03I could see it
00:57:04but for me
00:57:06I didn't say too much
00:57:07because I know if I'm going to say something
00:57:10Gia's not going to respond well
00:57:11so I feel backed off
00:57:13I feel like I can't really talk much later to be honest
00:57:15and yeah that does suck
00:57:16and I should be able to speak in my feelings
00:57:18and show all that
00:57:19but I feel
00:57:20yeah
00:57:20I think this is a part of what's starting to affect the relationship
00:57:23I feel like I'm starting to not be able to get my point
00:57:26out there
00:57:27because I know if I speak
00:57:28she'll probably just start defending
00:57:32she's a very passionate woman
00:57:34she's fiery
00:57:34and I know it can come out a bad way
00:57:37and sometimes I think
00:57:38it shouldn't
00:57:40so that's one thing I need to either adjust to
00:57:42or be able to have a conversation with her
00:57:44without her taking offence to it
00:57:47but right now
00:57:48I can't
00:57:50yeah
00:57:53that's pretty much it
00:57:54well it is it
00:57:55bloody letters torn
00:58:02Being the nice guy
00:58:03yeah it can get you played
00:58:07In the dating world
00:58:08it's sometimes hard to find like a genuine relationship
00:58:11because everyone's just like having sex
00:58:12being a nice guy
00:58:14and being myself I think
00:58:15helps in life
00:58:16and so for me
00:58:17it's just like
00:58:18if I can make the world a better place
00:58:19a stronger place
00:58:20that is my core purpose
00:58:22run clubs
00:58:23training at the beach
00:58:24make a little
00:58:26noise
00:58:27I have a Batman tattoo on my foot
00:58:29take a big inspiration from him
00:58:31like if it was up to me
00:58:32I'd wear a cape 24-7
00:58:35I'm a man of international passion and strength
00:58:38have you seen the way my hips move
00:58:40like the tornado people call them
00:58:42I do feel like it is possible
00:58:44to find a long-term relationship
00:58:46the nice guys will get their
00:58:48will get their day
00:58:54you need to come to my run club
00:58:55because that's where all the ladies are
00:58:57at the run club
00:58:57yeah yeah
00:58:58I actually met this lovely lady there
00:58:59the other week
00:59:00her name's Berlin
00:59:04oh mate she's unreal
00:59:05for me
00:59:06yeah
00:59:06the boxes that need to be ticked is
00:59:08into their fitness
00:59:09into their health
00:59:09yeah
00:59:10it doesn't take themselves too seriously
00:59:11100%
00:59:12obviously looks is great
00:59:13yeah
00:59:14and like yeah she's ticking all three boxes
00:59:15she's amazing
00:59:16I worry a little bit
00:59:18I think Henry could be in a little bit too deep too quick
00:59:21I feel like a lot of girls nowadays like the bad boy
00:59:24and like the guy that you know
00:59:25doesn't give him attention
00:59:26doesn't talk to him
00:59:26and I feel like if you act too keen
00:59:28sometimes it scares him away
00:59:32you only date one at a time
00:59:34yeah yeah
00:59:34it's too messy
00:59:36too much admin
00:59:37yeah
00:59:37I'm a real romantic man at heart
00:59:39so if I've got two on the go
00:59:40wow
00:59:40I'm all over the place
00:59:41you're a better man than me
00:59:44and if I'm walking down the promenade
00:59:45I assess everyone that comes towards me
00:59:47I look at them
00:59:48and if I see someone
00:59:50knobble your knees
00:59:51knock knees mate
00:59:52for me that's it
00:59:54Ryan's a good looking fella
00:59:55I'm sure he does well for himself
00:59:57I think me and him
00:59:58play it a little bit differently
00:59:59I'm sure he doesn't really have to do much
01:00:01whereas me
01:00:01I have to rely a bit more on the old charm
01:00:03you know
01:00:05in and around the east
01:00:06you know people love a good
01:00:08a good flashy date
01:00:09like an expensive thing
01:00:10for me
01:00:10like I'm about like seeing if the vibe works
01:00:13yeah
01:00:13they might be a bit more like activity
01:00:14sort of like outdoorsy based
01:00:16yeah
01:00:16like a fun thing
01:00:18I think Henry being overexcited
01:00:19he does you know
01:00:20sort of run the risk of
01:00:21of acting too keen
01:00:23and the date going wrong
01:00:24like it backfiring on him
01:00:27got a nice date coming up with Berlin
01:00:29we both love to ride our bikes
01:00:31we're both very competitive people
01:00:32so hopefully the bike ride with Berlin
01:00:35goes a little bit better than my previous two outdoor dates
01:00:37I've got a feeling there's going to be a bit of a race coming up
01:00:39wait wait no
01:00:40no pressure
01:00:42ready

01:01:25becho
01:01:31up
01:01:37after a disappointing honesty box challenge
01:01:41Danny wants to apologize for upsetting Beck
01:01:44by creating a romantic surprise for her
01:01:48Obviously, I've been dubbed the king of romance before.
01:01:51They call me Romeo in a past life.
01:01:55So I've been reborn.
01:01:56I'm back in the 21st century, but not much has changed.
01:02:00So I'm still the king of romance.
01:02:11Hi, Anne.
01:02:16Hello, sweetheart.
01:02:17Hello.
01:02:18I got you these.
01:02:19Thanks, baby.
01:02:20That one's a bit wet because it's been in my mouth.
01:02:24So I'm going to lead you the way.
01:02:27Turn around.
01:02:28Come this way.
01:02:30First stop.
01:02:31Don't look at the notes.
01:02:32Okay.
01:02:32First stop.
01:02:33What does this one on the table say?
01:02:36Enjoy a glass of red.
01:02:37No problem.
01:02:39You're so cute.
01:02:41She's obviously been upset because I didn't take the box task serious.
01:02:45But I didn't really know how to react.
01:02:48Talking about my feelings is so, so hard for me.
01:02:51So there we go.
01:02:53Bye.
01:02:54Here's a glass.
01:02:56Thanks, baby.
01:02:57Maybe in hindsight, I could have worded things different or said things different, but I was trying to just be
01:03:02as truthful as I could.
01:03:03Also, I want to apologise for upsetting her because I don't ever want to upset her.
01:03:08So what I'd done for Bec was post-it notes around the place with compliments and things I like about
01:03:15her, just so she knows how I feel about her, essentially.
01:03:20There we go.
01:03:21Oh, babe.
01:03:21Now I'm going to lead you around the room.
01:03:23I want you to read these out loud because I don't give you enough compliments, so I'll give you all
01:03:29some notes.
01:03:30I love being married to you.
01:03:32You're an amazing wife.
01:03:33Thanks, babe.
01:03:36You looked amazing in the French maid outfit.
01:03:41I heard someone ordered a French maid to clean this place up.
01:03:46I don't know if I ever told you, so I was like...
01:03:48You didn't.
01:03:48I should write it down.
01:03:49Thanks, baby.
01:03:50Sometimes I don't say it, but I'm thinking it, so that's what these notes are for.
01:03:54Oh, my God.
01:03:55I don't feel like I deserve this.
01:03:58Oh, yeah.
01:03:59That's a nice one to hand it on as well.
01:04:01I've given a softer side to you than I've ever given anyone before.
01:04:05Have you?
01:04:06Yeah.
01:04:09Thanks.
01:04:11He was so cute.
01:04:14The notes just mean, like, everything.
01:04:17To hear he loves being married to me, and also, I'm serious about us and our relationship.
01:04:24It's everything you want to hear.
01:04:27It's nice, isn't it?
01:04:30It's so cute.
01:04:33I just, like, hearing them and reading them is just, like, it makes me feel really good.
01:04:39Sometimes I need to hear this.
01:04:40Yeah, I know.
01:04:42That's why I've done it.
01:04:43Yeah.
01:04:44Sometimes when he jokes in the tasks and stuff, I'm like, it hurts.
01:04:50Because Danny doesn't articulate his feelings.
01:04:54So I've been questioning him, and if I had told him that I loved him too soon, because he's not
01:05:01said it back.
01:05:02But then he does things like this for me, and it's just, like, reminds me, this is how he feels.
01:05:09I think I need to get rid of my insecurities and just trust that you're here for a reason.
01:05:15I'm so scared of getting hurt now, but I just have to let that go, don't I?
01:05:19And just trust.
01:05:20Promise I will.
01:05:23Let's cheers to that.
01:05:25Cheers.
01:05:25You're the best.
01:05:31After ripping up their anonymous feedback letter from Stella and Philip, Gia has reached her breaking point.
01:05:39If we just get through this...
01:05:40No, I want to get the f*** out of here, man.
01:05:43I'm not coming to go.
01:05:44No, I just, I want, because I want us to go.
01:05:46No, I don't want to talk on mic, man.
01:05:47Everyone listens to everything.
01:05:53Why don't you just wait on the couch?
01:05:54I'll be there in a minute, OK?
01:05:56I'll be there in a minute.
01:05:57I'll walk in.
01:06:09I don't think Gia's enjoying it anymore.
01:06:11I think she just wants to get out of here.
01:06:13And I will say that Gia has said, like, we want to leave together.
01:06:19So, at the moment, we both have said, like, Gia wants to leave.
01:06:24And I said, I'll go with her.
01:06:25So, I don't know when this would happen.
01:06:27I'm leaving the ball in her court because I'm happy to face anything.
01:06:30And if we decide to go, we go.
01:06:32We go together.
01:06:43If we just get through this...
01:06:44No, I want to get the out of here, man.
01:06:47I'm not coming to go.
01:06:48No, I just, I want, because I want us to...
01:06:50No, I don't want to talk on mic, man.
01:06:51Everyone listens to everything.
01:06:53Gia wants to leave.
01:06:54And I said, I'll go with her.
01:06:55So, if we decide to go, we go.
01:06:58We go together.
01:06:59No, I don't want to go.
