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

00:44:44to go up to

00:53:17I've ever met
00:53:18in my life
00:53:18Gia sent them

00:53:21in the experiment
00:53:24like

00:53:26point

00:53:33that takes
00:53:33accountability
00:53:34apologises
00:53:35when I'm wrong
00:53:36and moves on
00:53:38to try and be
00:53:38a better human
00:53:39being
00:53:39for me
00:53:40it's like

00:53:47anyone else sent
00:53:48like I get it
00:53:50that Alyssa and David
00:53:51are being used
00:53:52as pawns
00:53:53in this vicious game
00:53:54I just can't believe
00:53:56I've hurt you guys
00:53:57so much
00:53:58I'm so sorry
00:53:59sorry I don't mean
00:54:00to get emotional

00:54:02sorry for myself
00:54:03because it's all
00:54:04coming down on me
00:54:05I'm sorry
00:54:07not sorry
00:54:09it's just tiresome
00:54:11it's tiresome

00:54:16it's taught me
00:54:17never to put
00:54:17anything in text

00:54:19that's for sure
00:54:29feedback week
00:54:30and Scott is returning
00:54:34to share Stella's
00:54:35advice with Gia
00:54:36unaware that she
00:54:38has refused to
00:54:39participate in the
00:54:40partner swap
00:54:45I didn't go
00:54:46on my feedback
00:54:47meeting today
00:54:48I had a gut feeling
00:54:50and it was Danny
00:54:51you know
00:54:52I snapped a little bit
00:54:53and I just needed to
00:54:56regroup
00:54:56and just relax
00:54:57and block things out
00:54:58and wait for Scott
00:54:59really
00:55:00so I
00:55:01listened to
00:55:01Coldplay
00:55:02on the balcony
00:55:02like a depressed
00:55:03woman
00:55:09what are you doing
00:55:10sitting out there
00:55:15tell you what
00:55:16there was a bit
00:55:16of heat in the room
00:55:17when I walked in
00:55:17the door
00:55:18oof
00:55:19oh
00:55:20Gia has had the
00:55:21doors open
00:55:21and the
00:55:22she's looking outside
00:55:23and I've never seen
00:55:24Gia have the doors open
00:55:28how'd you go
00:55:28how'd you go
00:55:29I didn't go on it
00:55:30you didn't go on it
00:55:31no
00:55:33I didn't do it
00:55:39I don't really give a
00:55:40for anyone's feedback
00:55:41at this point
00:55:42there's no one's
00:55:43relationship that I
00:55:44want to copy
00:55:44there's no one here
00:55:45that I think is doing
00:55:46better
00:55:46there's no one
00:55:47here that's
00:55:48advice would be
00:55:49better than what I
00:55:50think you and I
00:55:51are doing already
00:55:52so I just thought
00:55:53that I'm not doing
00:55:54it
00:55:56and I feel like it
00:55:57was going to be
00:55:57Danny
00:55:58so I didn't do it
00:56:00that's alright
00:56:02it could have gone
00:56:03two ways
00:56:03I could have sat
00:56:03down and been
00:56:04fake and been
00:56:05nice and I just
00:56:06know that would have
00:56:07turned into an
00:56:08argument because
00:56:10he thinks I'm a
00:56:11liar I think he's a
00:56:11liar
00:56:11it wouldn't have
00:56:12been good
00:56:13and then I thought
00:56:14if I go and he
00:56:15sees me and then
00:56:16I leave he's going
00:56:18to say oh my god
00:56:19she's so dramatic
00:56:20she can't even have
00:56:20a conversation
00:56:21so I was like
00:56:21it's best I remove
00:56:22myself from the
00:56:23potential drama that
00:56:24could happen today
00:56:25to be honest I don't
00:56:26care it's fine that
00:56:28you didn't go
00:56:29like I'm not going to
00:56:31hang out with somebody
00:56:32even for two seconds
00:56:33that disrespects me
00:56:35it's not happening
00:56:37so
00:56:37yeah I agree
00:56:38yeah
00:56:40yeah the only thing I
00:56:41was surprised was that
00:56:42Gia just didn't
00:56:44attempt the task
00:56:45because for me
00:56:46to be honest it's
00:56:47good to listen to
00:56:48someone else's
00:56:48perspective when you
00:56:49give them you know
00:56:50an overlook on the
00:56:51relationship and where
00:56:52we're sitting
00:57:00anyway you go
00:57:03I saw Stella
00:57:09okay what'd she say

00:57:18you know if you don't
00:57:19feel the same in the
00:57:20next couple weeks I'm
00:57:21out that to me makes
00:57:22me scared and pressured
00:57:25ultimatum yeah pretty
00:57:26much oh dear
00:57:32you know when I felt
00:57:36there's a bit of
00:57:37tension there I feel a
00:57:40little bit nervous to
00:57:40say what was said a
00:57:41bit because what I said
00:57:44to her oh god I'm so
00:57:48bad remembering stuff
00:57:50like you know
00:58:03anyway you go
00:58:07I saw Stella
00:58:13okay what'd she say
00:58:14about us
00:58:17it was just um
00:58:20walking into this I
00:58:21was going to just
00:58:21open up and let it
00:58:22all on the table of
00:58:23exactly everything that
00:58:24went down with Stella
00:58:25but when I felt there's
00:58:27a bit of tension there
00:58:29um I feel a little bit
00:58:30nervous to say what was
00:58:31said a bit
00:58:33well for starters this
00:58:35was like at the end
00:58:36that was pretty nice
00:58:36obviously she didn't
00:58:37know who she got but
00:58:38it was like a little um
00:58:40blue quartz thing
00:58:44okay chances it's like
00:58:45about feeling you feel
00:58:47it from your um what's
00:58:49it called your chakra and
00:58:50then your lower and
00:58:51stuff it's like about
00:58:51feelings and stuff
00:58:52uh I don't get it but
00:58:54anyway well maybe the
00:58:57crystal gives you good
00:58:58energy or something
00:58:59should I put it
00:58:59between my tits I
00:59:00don't know I need it
00:59:01probably actually thanks
00:59:03Stella because I'll take
00:59:04it it was pretty nice
00:59:06gesture
00:59:06cute that's so cute for
00:59:08you guys anyways what
00:59:09happened
00:59:09oh god sorry I don't
00:59:11just show you anyway
00:59:14so um but what else
00:59:17was there just I think
00:59:19since at the moment you
00:59:21are not giving her any
00:59:23worries you're not giving
00:59:25her any drama she's
00:59:26seeking that drama
00:59:26outsourcing the drama
00:59:28to fulfill her internal
00:59:29need that's probably a
00:59:31very deep conversation
00:59:32that you probably would
00:59:33need to have to be
00:59:36honest the advice I got
00:59:37was quite reasonable I
00:59:38feel
00:59:39we were just rehashing
00:59:40stuff that you and I
00:59:41have already spoken
00:59:41about you know what I
00:59:43mean I said that we're
00:59:44really good now and
00:59:45stuff I said we just
00:59:45found difficult to go
00:59:46through a hurdle where
00:59:48you know you're you're
00:59:50don't want to go through
00:59:51this whole experiment and

01:00:12is right the time is right

01:00:17else is this going to happen
01:00:20outside the experiment like
01:00:24this is going to be the
01:00:25same yeah if she can't
01:00:28manage her emotions and
01:00:29her emotional turmoil what
