00:00:01Do you see me as the mother-father of your children? Yes I do see as a father
00:00:04of my children. After seven weeks of marriage, Feedback Week brought some
00:00:10couples closer together. Only the best for my wife. Thank you for saying to us that
00:00:16really understand Stephen and I and what we needed. But for others... Sure I'll take
00:00:22that on board. Even now I feel like you're getting defensive. I'm not getting defensive
00:00:25at having a conversation. Tensions were at an all-time high. I'm not doing it. No thanks.
00:00:33It was just... As Scott avoided any critical feedback opting to keep the peace in his
00:00:41marriage. I knew if I went too deep I'd be over the balcony. You're absolutely
00:00:48pissing me off. Danny struggled to give Beck a straight answer. Do you think you
00:00:53will fall in love with me? And why? Um... At the dinner party, after weeks of being
00:00:59caught in the crossfire... Oh God. Alyssa tried to put a full stop to the
00:01:05feud between Gia and Beck. Stop using me! Stop using me as a pawn. And Beck and Danny
00:01:12spiralled. I want you to be wary about what you text people. Two months ago Daniel.
00:01:17Ken, that was ten years ago. Come on out. Now. I'm wasting my time at a dinner party talking
00:01:23about abusive text messages. I'm here for a wife and a relationship. I'm not here for
00:01:27drama. Do not sit there in front of everyone and not show solidarity to me. Just pretend
00:01:33for two minutes. Tonight, it's the second last commitment ceremony. You ask the question of
00:01:42like, alright, if we go outside the experiment, how quick would you expect like a proposal?
00:01:46I say the sooner the better. Wow. And some are already locking in plans for married life
00:01:52outside of the experiment. The man is leaving. And he is actually starting to show me what
00:01:57my life here in Sydney could look like. And then... So last week you said that the noise
00:02:03from the group and around Gia doesn't affect your relationship. Do you still believe that?
00:02:10Will Scott speak up and confess how he feels in front of Gia? I will admit like...
00:02:20The question, what was it like? It was a bit... Could you see yourself falling in love
00:02:23with me? Yeah. Why is Danny dodging the question?
00:02:30Um...
00:02:34In one of the most confronting couch sessions ever seen. It's a pretty black and white question.
00:02:44Before the blind side.
00:02:49That will leave the room speechless. I just can't believe it.
00:03:08It's the morning of the second-last conversation.
00:03:10It's the commitment ceremony of the experiment. And despite a tense ending to last night's
00:03:16dinner party, one couple continued to shine bright.
00:03:23Good morning. Morning.
00:03:25It's the long black. Thank you.
00:03:27Hopefully you don't burn the roof of your mouth. No, it shouldn't be fine.
00:03:30You know? Last night for Stella and I, yeah, it was great. We were just sitting there, united,
00:03:36chilling out, smooching whilst the drama's happening. We tend to do that when people are kicking off.
00:03:41We're just kissing each other. And then, yeah, we're staying out of it for the most part.
00:03:45I think we are out of the trenches with the drama.
00:03:48Mmm. I doubt it, but I'm very, very hopeful. I'm very hopeful. Some people cannot help themselves.
00:03:55I've seen the blokes like Danny and Scott, and they're just ready to not talk about high school shit.
00:04:02Like, Scott is not his usual self. He was just...
00:04:06His light was dimmed. He was just not there.
00:04:09He's dimmed. Yeah, he's dimmed at the moment. He's just not there.
00:04:12Danny as well, definitely. Yeah.
00:04:14I always look at him and he's just so withdrawn and just... They dissociate.
00:04:17They just go to another realm. They just leave the place. They're just like this. Yeah.
00:04:25I just wish that people like Becca and Gia can stop saying sorry and just don't do it from now
00:04:32on.
00:04:33Don't be sorry and go, I take accountability and just don't do it.
00:04:37How about we try that and then we don't have to keep talking about this BS.
00:04:46While our couples are putting on the final touches for tonight's commitment ceremony,
00:04:52one participant who is not looking forward to seeing the experts is Gia.
00:04:58Last one I walked out. I don't like commitment ceremonies one bit
00:05:02because I hate being vulnerable and talking about my feelings
00:05:05and commitment ceremonies don't go great for me all the time.
00:05:08Last week I feel like I was getting in so much trouble for the screenshots.
00:05:13They didn't at all question Becca. It was just me for sending them.
00:05:16I just felt like I was just attacked and it was unfair last week.
00:05:19It's not fair that I'm always taking the heat for that sort of stuff.
00:05:23I admit I was wrong for sending them, but I'm not the one who said the vulgar things in those
00:05:28screenshots Becca was.
00:05:29I think it's just going to be more of a rehash of like what you're saying.
00:05:32Feedback week. Feedback week. Also why'd you walk out?
00:05:35Which it'll just be a discussion of that. Yeah.
00:05:38I adore and I really am falling for Gia, but like this whole experiment has been very tough in regards
00:05:45to the drama side of things.
00:05:47There was so many days where there was just so much heat and heaviness.
00:05:52Tonight like I'm nervous seeing the experts because this is something that I find is a problem and I'm going
00:05:57to address it.
00:05:59I'm not looking forward to how she's going to feel about it, but I can only be honest.
00:06:09One couple that everyone will have their eyes on tonight is Beck and Danny, who had a tense argument at
00:06:15the end of last night's dinner party.
00:06:18Don't sit here and say, I want us to have a good relationship, but we don't because of drama identified
00:06:25it.
00:06:26I just want you to be wary about what you say.
00:06:30I'm very wary. I want you to be wary about what you text people.
00:06:35I'm done. I'm not going back in. I'm done.
00:06:38He says, oh, we're right or die. We're right or die. We're not. Just pretend for two minutes.
00:06:44And this morning, there has been yet another unexpected development in their relationship.
00:06:51How are things with you and Danny after last night's dinner party?
00:06:55Really good.
00:06:59There's so much love and adoration within this relationship.
00:07:03We had like a tiny little bit of crosswords last night. Danny sort of had a little wibble wobble.
00:07:08He was like, I'm sure of the drama.
00:07:10And at the end of the day, we've actually come out on top, you know, even though it's kind of
00:07:14crappy for a little while,
00:07:17we always come back together, talk about it, and end up with a better understanding of each other
00:07:24and in a stronger place in our relationship. Do you agree?
00:07:28Hmm.
00:07:29I became a girlfriend as well. Still happy with that decision, Boo?
00:07:33Still happy with the decision.
00:07:35I feel great. I feel absolutely fantastic.
00:07:37Like, I'm not only a wife, I'm a girlfriend, and I know that everything's hunky-dory.
00:07:41Me telling you at the commitment ceremony that I love you and obviously I'm in my own head as well
00:07:48because it's like, shit, like, that's a lot for me to do, ever.
00:07:54Like, you're the first man I've ever told that I love first, ever.
00:07:58Feedback week, Danny. How's it been?
00:08:01Been an alright week, to be honest. Like, alright is how I'd describe it.
00:08:04Not amazing, just alright.
00:08:07Obviously, the question to ask, Bec was just overreacting a little bit there.
00:08:12We know that, that's a fact.
00:08:14Do you think you will fall in love with me, and why?
00:08:18Probably. I'd assume I will, yeah.
00:08:22Am I there yet? No.
00:08:27So it has sort of scared me that she's got stronger feelings to me than I have to her.
00:08:34Up until last week, when she told me she loved me, I didn't realise she was feeling that strongly towards
00:08:38me.
00:08:39She'd never even told me, like, little soft things to, like, soften it.
00:08:43It was just like, that'd come out of nowhere.
00:08:45That's why when she told me on the sofa, on the couch, I was a bit, like, shocked.
00:08:50My feelings are extremely, extremely strong for Daniel.
00:09:00F*** it. I love you.
00:09:03Hey!
00:09:09It's easy.
00:09:12Do you think that you will get there, or are you still not sure?
00:09:15It's hard to tell, to be honest.
00:09:17It's very hard to tell.
00:09:19In regards to intimacy, it's not like I don't want to do it,
00:09:23but it's not like I'm, like, craving to do it as well.
00:09:29Like, I'm United Maine.
00:09:31Because of constant drama with Bec.
00:09:34Um, so, yeah, that's probably one of the things, the main reason that's holding me back.
00:09:59Greetings, gents.
00:10:01Hello. Come on in.
00:10:03Good to see you all.
00:10:04Good evening.
00:10:05Good evening.
00:10:06Hi, guys.
00:10:21Hi. Hello. Welcome.
00:10:22Welcome.
00:10:25Settle in.
00:10:30Well, greetings, everyone, to the second last commitment ceremony.
00:10:35We are very much nearing the pointy end where you have to size up your relationship
00:10:42and really drill down on whether or not you can see a future outside of this experiment
00:10:49with the person that you've been matched with.
00:10:52Now it gets real.
00:10:55Now in saying that, next week, it is home stays.
00:11:00This is done so that all of you can have a look at your partner's life as it exists outside
00:11:06of the experiment.
00:11:08And it gives you an understanding, a glimpse of whether you can fit into it.
00:11:13This is really a reality check.
00:11:17In fact, it is absolutely pivotal for you when it comes to your final decision.
00:11:25Take it very seriously.
00:11:27Now the past week, of course, has been feedback week.
00:11:31It's been a real test of how each and every one of you responds to feedback,
00:11:36but also how each of you gives feedback.
00:11:39So we'll be really interested to drill down into how that's gone for each of you
00:11:43and to see what's been the impact on your relationships.
00:11:47And, of course, we saw some of that last night at the dinner party.
00:11:51It was actually quite shocking to see some of the behaviours
00:11:55that occurred at last night's dinner party.
00:11:58And we certainly want to get into all of that.
00:12:03Well, let's get our first couple up.
00:12:06Jira and Scott.
00:12:09Mmm, good to see you both.
00:12:12Yes, John, I'm still here. Are you happy about it?
00:12:15I'm very happy.
00:12:16Oh, I thought you wouldn't be.
00:12:18Yeah, particularly because last time you actually walked off.
00:12:22I did.
00:12:25So, let's go back to what actually happened there
00:12:28because we didn't get a chance to talk to you about that.
00:12:33Because we were talking about your relationship
00:12:35and where you're at and what a good place you're in.
00:12:38And it was positive.
00:12:40But then something happened.
00:12:42What was it?
00:12:47I was getting in trouble for the screenshots involving Alyssa,
00:12:51but the other person wasn't getting in trouble
00:12:53for what was written in the screenshots.
00:12:55It felt very against me.
00:12:59And I just felt, like, attacked.
00:13:05Um, and I just felt like it was a bit unfair, to be honest.
00:13:09I just felt like, oh, what about the screen?
00:13:11What was she saying?
00:13:12Like, just me, me, me.
00:13:13I just cannot.
00:13:14I just felt like it was going to come up.
00:13:16So, I had to remove myself.
00:13:17I didn't want to have another argument.
00:13:19I didn't want any more volatile situations.
00:13:22I just, I had to remove myself.
00:13:26All right, so let's break it down.
00:13:28There are two parts to this.
00:13:31One part is what was said in the text.
00:13:36Which came out at the dinner party last night.
00:13:39The specifics of it.
00:13:43And there's no getting around that.
00:13:45It's abhorrent.
00:13:47Those words, those phrases towards another member in this experiment was appalling.
00:13:59I mean, Bec, the hits keep coming.
00:14:16What was said, what was said in the text?
00:14:19What was said in the text?
00:14:20What was said in the text?
00:14:20Which came out at the dinner party last night.
00:14:21Which came out at the dinner party last night.
00:14:22The specifics of it.
00:14:25Uh, and there's no getting around that.
00:14:28It's abhorrent.
00:14:30Those words, those phrases, towards another member in this experiment, was appalling.
00:14:42I mean, Bec, the hits keep coming.
00:14:51Regardless of what bad place you were in,
00:14:53the way in which you did that was malicious and extremely hurtful.
00:15:00And we don't condone it.
00:15:06That's the first part.
00:15:08The second issue is how they were used.
00:15:13And that's where you come into this, Gia.
00:15:15Yep.
00:15:17It was very high school,
00:15:21trying to really get at somebody
00:15:24while hurting another person in the process.
00:15:30It's about choices.
00:15:32It's about choices in terms of what you write in the text.
00:15:36Then it's choices about what you want to do with that
00:15:39in terms of sending it on or not.
00:15:42I know I was wrong.
00:15:45Looking back now,
00:15:46I wish I never sent the screenshots to Juliet.
00:15:48I was doing the wrong thing.
00:15:50I mean, it was like something happened to me
00:15:54that affected me and to defend myself,
00:15:56I was like, well, let me send some screenshots
00:15:58to do something to that person.
00:16:00And it was just like childish behaviour, to be honest.
00:16:02So it was an eye for an eye.
00:16:03Yeah.
00:16:04Yeah.
00:16:05OK.
00:16:06We do not want to revisit this ever again.
00:16:10And I'm sure Alyssa doesn't want to either.
00:16:13It is being put to bed as of right now.
00:16:20But, Gia, one of the things I wanted to ask you was
00:16:23when you left last week,
00:16:25Scott was sitting here
00:16:27kind of not really knowing what was going on.
00:16:30And I just wondered whether he was featured
00:16:34in your thinking in that moment.
00:16:37I told him before I ran out,
00:16:39I said, I feel sick, I'm going to leave.
00:16:41Scott, how did you feel
00:16:45when you realised Gia had left?
00:16:50Well, at the time,
00:16:51I was sitting there and going to myself,
00:16:53she's not left me.
00:16:54I just, because I know how close we are.
00:16:56So I'm like, there's no excuse for her to just bail.
00:16:57But then obviously,
00:16:59the only thing I was just a little bit annoyed
00:17:01was just not being told what was going on.
00:17:04Just communication, that's all.
00:17:08But deep down, I knew she didn't run away from me.
00:17:10So, yeah.
00:17:14So last week you said
00:17:16that the noise around your relationship
00:17:18from the group and around Gia
00:17:20doesn't affect your relationship.
00:17:23Do you still believe that?
00:17:28Last week was probably one of the most heaviest weeks
00:17:30we've had in this whole experiment.
00:17:32More so for Gia.
00:17:33She's had a lot to take on herself,
00:17:35not wanting to be here
00:17:38for a few reasons.
00:17:41There's only so much, you know,
00:17:43I'm here to protect her and cater for her
00:17:44and make sure she's OK and give her reassurance,
00:17:46but there was a lot that happened pretty much every day
00:17:48and I will admit, like,
00:17:52it does make me not be myself.
00:17:58What do you mean?
00:18:00My energy dropped
00:18:01and I just...
00:18:03because I'm just trying to be positive
00:18:06and it's hard sometimes.
00:18:08But feedback week, yeah,
00:18:10it was pretty hard.
00:18:11What was hard about feedback week?
00:18:13Obviously, the commitment ceremony was,
00:18:15you know, I walked out and I wasn't good.
00:18:17You know, that...
00:18:18And I just...
00:18:19I was just feeling off, right?
00:18:21So then I get told I have a feedback date
00:18:24and I'm like,
00:18:25oh, my God,
00:18:25I can't do this.
00:18:27I cannot put myself in a situation like this again
00:18:30where I'm arguing with somebody
00:18:32and I'm like,
00:18:33you know what?
00:18:33I don't want to go on the date.
00:18:35So what did you choose to do?
00:18:36I didn't go on the date.
00:18:40With these challenges that we set,
00:18:44you are certainly taken out of your comfort zone,
00:18:47but they're done for a reason.
00:18:49Here we go.
00:18:50It's all right.
00:18:51It's not.
00:18:52It's always about everything but our relationship.
00:18:57God, like,
00:18:58how many more times am I going to get, like, attacked?
00:19:02It's not.
00:19:03It's not.
00:19:03That's what the vibe I'm getting.
00:19:04It's not.
00:19:06I've been apologising.
00:19:07I've been accountable.
00:19:08I've been changing my behaviour.
00:19:10I just feel like the feedback letter,
00:19:14I felt like it was an attack on me.
00:19:17The tasks that we received to do,
00:19:19I just found were just, like,
00:19:21like, not nice.
00:19:24Number one is,
00:19:25Gia, remove yourself from any group chats that you're in.
00:19:29Number two,
00:19:30detox from all social media till final vows.
00:19:34Number three,
00:19:35no physical touch for ten days.
00:19:37And I was like...
00:19:38This is the thing, I think.
00:19:39I took it.
00:19:40This is how I took it.
00:19:41He took it different.
00:19:41I took it as an attack of, like,
00:19:44oh, my God, like,
00:19:45another thing against me.
00:19:50Why do you feel like people are attacking you?
00:19:52I don't know.
00:19:54You have no idea.
00:19:55Well, that was Stella and Phillip,
00:19:57so I'm not sure why.
00:20:00There's just one thing I like to outlay is, like,
00:20:03whether something's negative or bad
00:20:05or, like, something you don't want to hear or see,
00:20:07we don't need to hold on to it.
00:20:10Because sometimes I feel it does hurt you
00:20:13in a way deep down where
00:20:15it's got to be said out loud
00:20:16or people need to know I hate it or, like,
00:20:18sometimes I feel like you hold on to it
00:20:20with a bit of power behind you
00:20:21and you want to deliver it back to someone.
00:20:25And I feel if we can let go of things a lot easier,
00:20:28we can move past that
00:20:29and then just focus on the other stuff.
00:20:33Because I see the light in everything all the time.
00:20:35Like, these things that are said,
00:20:36that is, it doesn't matter how bad it is.
00:20:38It's not like we're bad people.
00:20:40People just see what...
00:20:41They have an opinion for it.
00:20:42This is your perception, though.
00:20:43For me, for my own personal reasons
00:20:47and what I've been through in life,
00:20:48I felt attacked.
00:20:56I walked into this experiment.
00:20:57I said even my audition,
00:20:58I don't like negative stuff.
00:21:00I don't like drama.
00:21:01I don't like any of that.
00:21:01I don't want it in my life.
00:21:02And I know Gia's been involved in some of it
00:21:05and we had an agreement.
00:21:06Can you make a promise to me
00:21:07not involve yourself in drama
00:21:09for the rest of this experiment?
00:21:11There's been a few difficult things
00:21:13inside the experiment
00:21:14and I have to know
00:21:16whether it's the pressure in here
00:21:17or whether this is outside as well.
00:21:21Nothing's really affected me in this experiment.
00:21:23The only thing is just the drama stuff.
00:21:24I just, I don't like it.
00:21:26And I just want to make sure
00:21:27and be reassured
00:21:28there's not going to be that shit outside this
00:21:29because I won't tolerate it.
00:21:30That's it.
00:21:32For me, I don't want someone
00:21:33who's going to retaliate in really bad behaviour.
00:21:35That's what I mean.
00:21:37It's about how you carry yourself.
00:21:38It's common knowledge.
00:21:39I would never do that.
00:21:40That's what I'm saying
00:21:40that from the stuff that's happening in the experiment,
00:21:42I don't want to see that outside the experiment.
00:21:44That's all it is.
00:21:44I'm not saying anything bad.
00:21:45It's just what I've seen.
00:21:46Yeah, just, you don't know me well enough then.
00:21:49Babe, I'm only helping.
00:21:50It's just not who I am.
00:21:51I just do not do that in life.
00:21:53I'm just helping.
00:21:53Like, I do nursing.
00:21:55Like, I'm a kind person.
00:21:57I would never, but anyway.
00:21:58I'm not saying you're like that.
00:21:59I'm trying to just say
00:22:00what I'm feeling.
00:22:12Scott's just talking about
00:22:14his experience with you,
00:22:16what he's seen.
00:22:17He can only work with what he's seen.
00:22:19And he has seen you rise to the drama.
00:22:22So he's not saying
00:22:24he knows that that's what you're going to do on the outside.
00:22:27He's saying he knows that
00:22:28that's what you have done within the experiment.
00:22:31So surely that's reasonable.
00:22:33Yeah.
00:22:38Oh, no, we're getting slammed, Chris.
00:22:40Yeah.
00:22:41You're not getting slammed, babe.
00:22:42It's nothing.
00:22:45No, I'm all good.
00:22:46I'm sorry.
00:22:47I'm all good.
00:22:47All good.
00:22:47I don't like to cry, you know.
00:22:49Just, I'm fine.
00:22:51Let's just finish this, please.
00:22:53Yep.
00:22:54Mm.
00:23:08You're all right.
00:23:09Sorry, I'm here.
00:23:11Gia, do you feel secure in this relationship?
00:23:14Yeah.
00:23:16What makes you say that?
00:23:18Um, because even when I say I'm going to leave,
00:23:21he's like, no, you can't leave.
00:23:24Um, like, when I, like, lose my mind and, like, spiral,
00:23:28he's always there to, like, be positive
00:23:31and try and turn my mood around.
00:23:33And I feel like he's got me.
00:23:35Yeah.
00:23:36And I can feel like, yeah,
00:23:37I feel secure in this relationship.
00:23:39What about you, Scott?
00:23:43Well, the thing is, like, yes,
00:23:45we face these hard things and we're not perfect people.
00:23:49But I see so many good things about you
00:23:53and that's why I'm here.
00:23:54Like, you're such a beautiful person.
00:23:56Like, we've had a rough week,
00:23:57but we always come back to each other.
00:23:58So you feel secure in this relationship?
00:24:01100%, yeah, I feel secure.
00:24:03We just have these little hurdles to get through,
00:24:05understand one another, you know,
00:24:07and keep pursuing our life together.
00:24:12All right, well, let's go to the decision.
00:24:14Let's go with you first, Scott.
00:24:18I'm grateful that we're still here together
00:24:20and then we got through and we're still smiling
00:24:21and I cannot wait for home stays.
00:24:24It's all right to stay
00:24:25and happy two months to my beautiful wife.
00:24:27Oh, that's cute.
00:24:29Gia, stay or leave?
00:24:31Um, I know I need to work on some things
00:24:33and I'm committed to doing that
00:24:35because, like, he's worth it
00:24:36and I need to, like, grow as a person.
00:24:38I can't keep doing these behaviours that I've been doing
00:24:41and I know I'm wrong for that.
00:24:42So, um, I'm just going to be positive this week
00:24:45and move forward
00:24:45and we're going to be in our swimsuits
00:24:47at the beach on the Gold Coast.
00:24:50Little 40s.
00:24:52I've got square boobs, I don't know why,
00:24:53but that's a bikini.
00:24:55That's a bikini.
00:24:56OK, well, I know that that was a very intense session
00:25:00and it's so important for you guys
00:25:02to not brush things under the carpet.
00:25:06I know, Scott, you've mentioned
00:25:07that you like to look on the bright side of life,
00:25:11move forward as fast as you can,
00:25:13leave the past behind.
00:25:14Problem is, if you do that all the time,
00:25:17you don't address the issues that are there.
00:25:20And rather than saying,
00:25:21it's just going to be OK, forget about it,
00:25:24actually instead go,
00:25:25well, tell me more.
00:25:27And for you, Gia, what's really important
00:25:29is that if there's an issue that comes up from Scott
00:25:32that you stay with it
00:25:34rather than look at it as a personal attack.
00:25:36This is just feedback about a behaviour.
00:25:40And I can sit here and talk about that behaviour
00:25:43and then as a team,
00:25:44we can do something different moving forward.
00:25:47That'll help us a lot, to be honest.
00:25:49Because, like, sometimes I want to bring things up
00:25:52and then I get a bit scared
00:25:53because I don't want you to get the wrong ideas
00:25:55if I'm trying to attack you.
00:25:57It's because I genuinely care
00:25:59and I just want to fix a few little things
00:26:01that'll help both of us.
00:26:02Yep.
00:26:02So I really love what you just said.
00:26:04Now with that, have a great week
00:26:06and we'll see you next time.
00:26:07Thanks, guys.
00:26:08Well done, guys.
00:26:09Cheers.
00:26:09Have a great week.
00:26:11Thanks, man.
00:26:19I'm sick again.
00:26:27Still to come...
00:26:30What has Sam in tears?
00:26:32I don't know.
00:26:35And later...
00:26:36Did you see yourself falling in love with me?
00:26:39Danny is put in the hot seat.
00:26:42I think I misinterpreted the question.
00:26:45Because it's a pretty black and white question.
00:27:02Next up...
00:27:04Rachel and Stephen.
00:27:09Hello.
00:27:10Welcome.
00:27:11Welcome, welcome.
00:27:12It's nice to see you.
00:27:14Oh, yeah.
00:27:16Feedback week.
00:27:17Tell us about feedback week.
00:27:19Um, I actually think feedback week
00:27:21was great for Stephen and I.
00:27:23We started off with the first tasks of questions.
00:27:26The question of, you know,
00:27:28saying,
00:27:29can you see yourself falling in love with me
00:27:31at some point?
00:27:33We both had a big, resounding yes.
00:27:36And so that was really nice.
00:27:38Because in terms of
00:27:40the way we view our lives in the future,
00:27:43they very much align.
00:27:45And so,
00:27:47yeah, it was really good.
00:27:48It was just a really great task.
00:27:51Feedback week has been,
00:27:53you know,
00:27:53amazing.
00:27:55I got some really good advice from Alyssa
00:27:58of trying to be a bit more of a leader.
00:28:01Which we saw.
00:28:02We saw.
00:28:03We were very impressed.
00:28:04Oh, you saw that?
00:28:05At the dinner party.
00:28:07You did have a moment at the dinner party
00:28:10where you stood up to the group
00:28:11and you spoke on behalf of the relationship
00:28:14in such a mature,
00:28:17such a take charge,
00:28:18such a masculine,
00:28:19such a all there kind of way.
00:28:25We were very impressed
00:28:26and we were literally cheering that on.
00:28:29It was a really, really good moment
00:28:31to see Rachel beaming
00:28:33because you were beaming.
00:28:35You were so proud of your man
00:28:37speaking up to the group.
00:28:41Setting those boundaries
00:28:42for the group
00:28:43and for the two of you.
00:28:44Well, I'm going to implement that
00:28:45not just for one day.
00:28:46It's going to be just in the relationship.
00:28:48I've got to put my captain's socks,
00:28:50undies and hat on
00:28:52and, yeah,
00:28:53take a bit of charge and leadership.
00:28:56Captain.
00:28:57I like it.
00:28:58Captain Steve-o.
00:29:00I'm going to get a hat for him.
00:29:04How did it feel in the moment
00:29:06to speak to the group
00:29:07the way that you did
00:29:08and to ascertain those boundaries
00:29:10and make yourself be heard
00:29:12so clearly?
00:29:14I know I'm pretty quiet
00:29:15in the dinner parties
00:29:16and I sort of like to keep things
00:29:18to myself
00:29:19because I feel like
00:29:20it's just a little bit easier
00:29:21to keep your mouth closed.
00:29:23In some situations,
00:29:25I guess it was good to, you know,
00:29:27finally be heard.
00:29:30I can imagine so.
00:29:34You guys have really been
00:29:36a bit of a slow burn
00:29:37but every week
00:29:39we start to see something emerge,
00:29:42the intimacy,
00:29:43the speaking up.
00:29:44There's a lot of change
00:29:45in the two of you that I see
00:29:47and it's on a week-by-week basis.
00:29:51What's it doing to you, Steve-o,
00:29:53in terms of how you're feeling
00:29:54about this lovely woman?
00:29:59I feel really connected to Rachel.
00:30:01We're getting closer.
00:30:02I feel like, as well,
00:30:03saying to Rachel,
00:30:04I feel like I've come
00:30:05such a long way
00:30:06from the wedding
00:30:07and the ups and downs
00:30:08that we've had.
00:30:09So, feeling, yeah,
00:30:10really good.
00:30:12Rachel,
00:30:13for you towards him,
00:30:14what's going on
00:30:15inside of you?
00:30:16So, I really like Stephen.
00:30:19I've been very clear about that.
00:30:21I'm very connected with Stephen.
00:30:23It's just so comfortable
00:30:25to be ourselves
00:30:26and have fun
00:30:27and, you know,
00:30:28it's just amazing
00:30:29and so I'm at the point now
00:30:32where my man is leading
00:30:33and he is actually
00:30:34starting to show me
00:30:35what my life here in Sydney
00:30:37could look like.
00:30:41That really shows
00:30:43through your body language
00:30:44is just how close
00:30:47and comfortable you are
00:30:49with one another
00:30:50and loving,
00:30:53dare I say it.
00:30:55Are we reading this correctly?
00:30:57Does it feel comfortable
00:30:58to be sitting like that?
00:30:59This is common,
00:31:01you know,
00:31:01in the apartment.
00:31:03Now you're showing off.
00:31:09So, with that in mind,
00:31:10we're going to go to a decision.
00:31:11Yeah.
00:31:12Let's kick it off
00:31:13with you, Rachel.
00:31:17This is a huge shock,
00:31:18I know,
00:31:19but I've written stay
00:31:20and I put, like,
00:31:22the sun and, like,
00:31:23that's water
00:31:23from our little beach days.
00:31:26Cute.
00:31:27And Steve-O.
00:31:28I like where this is going,
00:31:30so why would I do anything else
00:31:32besides stay?
00:31:38Good on you guys.
00:31:39Thank you so much.
00:31:40Well done.
00:31:41Great.
00:31:42Thank you so much.
00:31:50High fives.
00:31:51That was a nice one.
00:32:07Our next couple
00:32:08on the couch,
00:32:11Chris and Sam.
00:32:17Hello, you two.
00:32:18Howdy, how are you?
00:32:19Hello, guys.
00:32:21How we doing?
00:32:23Well,
00:32:24I've got to say,
00:32:25this is a very different energy
00:32:27from the two of you,
00:32:28not what we're used to
00:32:29at all.
00:32:31You're like a very different
00:32:32couple right now.
00:32:33Yeah.
00:32:36Do you want to let us in?
00:32:41Chris, you don't look
00:32:41very happy.
00:32:42No, I'm just like,
00:32:44like, first of all,
00:32:46you asked me a question
00:32:47last week.
00:32:48Are you starting to envision
00:32:49a life outside
00:32:50of the experiment?
00:32:51I thought it was admirable
00:32:52that I was actually thinking
00:32:53after the experiment,
00:32:54and I said,
00:32:54perhaps, potentially,
00:32:55Sam based himself in Sydney.
00:32:57It came from
00:32:58a really good place,
00:33:00but Sam was upset
00:33:01that I didn't consult him
00:33:02before answering the question
00:33:03that you asked me.
00:33:05And then he said to me,
00:33:0610 minutes prior
00:33:07to the dinner party,
00:33:08your three apologies
00:33:09weren't genuine enough.
00:33:10I'm going to bring it up
00:33:11in front of the group.
00:33:13We could have facilitated
00:33:14that in the apartment
00:33:15in a more private,
00:33:17controlled environment.
00:33:19I feel like I've,
00:33:20you know,
00:33:21been dragged through
00:33:22the coals.
00:33:22All right,
00:33:22I'm just going to go to Sam
00:33:24because there's something
00:33:24I just want to clarify here.
00:33:26Why was it that you felt
00:33:27the need to bring this up
00:33:29in that group context?
00:33:31I wanted feedback
00:33:32from the group.
00:33:33I can go talk to my friends,
00:33:35you can go talk to your friends,
00:33:36and we can try and like see
00:33:38if we can move past this
00:33:40because I just couldn't see
00:33:41getting to a conclusion
00:33:42with just the two of us
00:33:43because I was just
00:33:44getting shut down.
00:33:46That's why.
00:33:49There are some pretty
00:33:50big lifestyle changes
00:33:52ahead of the two of you.
00:33:54Chris has got children coming.
00:33:56Yeah.
00:33:56You know,
00:33:57Chris has the farm.
00:33:58Yeah.
00:33:58And, you know,
00:34:00clearly life's going to be
00:34:02very much rooted
00:34:03around Chris's existing world.
00:34:05Yeah.
00:34:06And a lot of movement
00:34:07and compromise on your part, Sam.
00:34:10Is this the elephant
00:34:12in the room here
00:34:13for the two of you?
00:34:16Does it feel like
00:34:18it'll be you making
00:34:19all of the sacrifice?
00:34:21I'll be making big moves.
00:34:24Yeah,
00:34:24so 90% of the sacrifice
00:34:25would be on me
00:34:26to like fit into Chris's life,
00:34:28which is fine.
00:34:29Like, I know that.
00:34:31I'm prepared to do that
00:34:32if we fall for each other.
00:34:33But I just
00:34:35didn't want to feel like
00:34:36I had no say
00:34:37in even how that would look.
00:34:39I just feel like
00:34:40there could be
00:34:40a bit more empathy
00:34:41around the fact that
00:34:42there's a lot
00:34:43that I have to change
00:34:43and I would have really liked
00:34:44if you discussed that
00:34:45with me before.
00:34:49How does that sit
00:34:50with you, Chris?
00:34:51Yeah.
00:34:54My answer to you
00:34:55was coming from
00:34:56a good place.
00:34:58That question
00:34:59that you asked me,
00:34:59are you thinking about
00:35:00life outside
00:35:01of this experiment?
00:35:02Which I thought
00:35:02was such a cute question.
00:35:04That question
00:35:05has now, like,
00:35:06spiraled into
00:35:07something so much bigger
00:35:09than what we had anticipated
00:35:10and it's, um,
00:35:11put a huge rift
00:35:12between us,
00:35:13obviously,
00:35:13and, um,
00:35:14yet...
00:35:15Sam,
00:35:17I've been watching you
00:35:18and you look
00:35:19a bit withdrawn.
00:35:22What has all this,
00:35:23do you feel, Sam,
00:35:24done to your relationship?
00:35:27To be honest, like,
00:35:28it's really sad
00:35:30because you guys saw me
00:35:31at the last commitment ceremony
00:35:32and I even wrote
00:35:33in my journal afterwards
00:35:34that a life with Chris
00:35:35could be magical
00:35:36and amazing,
00:35:37and it's just, like,
00:35:39taking the feet out
00:35:40from underneath me.
00:35:41Um,
00:35:42yeah.
00:35:44It sucks.
00:35:47Chris,
00:35:48one of the things
00:35:49I said to you,
00:35:49very curious,
00:35:50because essentially
00:35:52you were in a great place
00:35:53a week ago
00:35:54and then
00:35:55Sam has brought
00:35:57something up gently
00:35:58to just say,
00:35:58you know,
00:35:59I felt a little bit excluded.
00:36:00I thought
00:36:02that would have
00:36:03brought you closer,
00:36:04but in fact,
00:36:05the reaction he got
00:36:07pushes him away
00:36:09rather than brings him close.
00:36:11Yeah.
00:36:13And one of the things
00:36:14I went to is,
00:36:16did you take
00:36:17Sam's reaction
00:36:18as some,
00:36:19something of a rejection?
00:36:24Because what I'm thinking
00:36:26is that your anger
00:36:28was coming from hurt
00:36:29and fear.
00:36:30And it often does.
00:36:32You've taken it
00:36:33very personally
00:36:34and I want to put that to you.
00:36:36If that's the case,
00:36:38what might that be about?
00:36:42Maybe just
00:36:42unsuccessful relationships,
00:36:45um,
00:36:45in the past,
00:36:46you know,
00:36:47like, yeah,
00:36:47and I have been hurt a lot.
00:36:51Here's the thing.
00:36:53He's bringing this conversation
00:36:55up in front of the group.
00:36:58Not because he wants
00:36:58to throw you under the bus.
00:37:00but because he wants
00:37:01to be able to talk to you
00:37:02and he feels like he can't
00:37:04to the point where
00:37:05he's too scared
00:37:06to bring up
00:37:07a conversation with you
00:37:08and he needs to take it
00:37:09to a larger group.
00:37:11That has got to get you
00:37:13starting to look
00:37:14at yourself
00:37:15and how you're talking.
00:37:18This is a real moment
00:37:20of truth for you
00:37:21because a communication style
00:37:24has contributed
00:37:25to the real crisis
00:37:28that you're in now.
00:37:31That doesn't mean
00:37:32that you can't recover
00:37:33and tonight is one of those
00:37:35absolute key crossroads
00:37:37for you, Chris.
00:37:39Mm-hmm.
00:37:40Yeah.
00:37:45All right,
00:37:45let's go to the decision.
00:37:48Let's go with you first, Chris.
00:37:49Stay or leave?
00:37:51I've been going back and forth
00:37:52the last couple of days
00:37:54and I've actually decided
00:37:56that I need
00:37:57and I want to go
00:37:58put my dad hat on
00:37:59and I would like to leave.
00:38:17All right,
00:38:17let's go to the decision.
00:38:18Let's go with you first, Chris.
00:38:20Stay or leave?
00:38:21I've been going back and forth
00:38:22the last couple of days
00:38:23and I've actually decided
00:38:26that I need
00:38:27and I want to go
00:38:28put my dad hat on
00:38:29and I would like to leave.
00:38:43Maybe no.
00:38:45No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:38:52It's a huge
00:38:53turnaround from last week.
00:38:56Yeah.
00:38:59I just think that
00:39:00I need to concentrate
00:39:01on this next thing
00:39:03that's coming
00:39:03and he's an amazing guy
00:39:05and he'll be amazing
00:39:07for someone.
00:39:07I just don't think
00:39:08it's me for the moment.
00:39:22Sam, what's going on
00:39:23for you right now?
00:39:30I just didn't see that coming.
00:39:32I thought...
00:39:37I thought, you know,
00:39:38this is the first hiccup
00:39:39we've had
00:39:39and we'd both come into this
00:39:41ready to take on feedback
00:39:44and then try and implement that
00:39:46and see if that could help.
00:39:49and it just hurts
00:39:50to be like,
00:39:51you've just given up
00:39:54because it got tough
00:39:55for a few days.
00:40:00So, yeah,
00:40:01I just can't believe it.
00:40:05Let's go to your decision then, Sam.
00:40:07What have you got?
00:40:08As much as Chris gave up a lot
00:40:09to be here,
00:40:10I gave up a lot
00:40:10and I was...
00:40:11I wanted to leave here
00:40:12with absolutely no regrets
00:40:14either way,
00:40:15like, 100% knowing
00:40:16if Chris was the guy for me.
00:40:18Right now,
00:40:19I feel like
00:40:20I would have regrets
00:40:21and I wouldn't know
00:40:21completely
00:40:22if we could have
00:40:22made it work.
00:40:25Like, I was prepared
00:40:26to take on anything
00:40:26you guys had to say
00:40:27and try and...
00:40:29put it into work.
00:40:38Well, as you know,
00:40:39in this experiment,
00:40:41the rules are
00:40:41if one person says stay
00:40:42and the other person says leave,
00:40:43the couple stays
00:40:44for another week
00:40:46and they work
00:40:47on the relationship.
00:40:49It might seem
00:40:50like a lost cause,
00:40:52but frankly,
00:40:52we see couples
00:40:54absolutely turn things
00:40:56around in one week.
00:41:01But it will require
00:41:03some heavy lifting
00:41:04from the both of you.
00:41:10I mean,
00:41:10the one thing
00:41:11about you two right now
00:41:12is that it's not friendly.
00:41:14So when you think about
00:41:16how you're going
00:41:16to take on this week
00:41:17to start talking
00:41:19to one another
00:41:19in a respectful way
00:41:21and acting
00:41:22in a considerate way
00:41:23and from there,
00:41:25you can start to see
00:41:26how it changes
00:41:28your relationship.
00:41:30Let me remind you,
00:41:31it was only a week ago
00:41:32that you were loved up
00:41:33on that couch,
00:41:34excited about the future.
00:41:40but with a weenus
00:41:41can come change
00:41:45and all you've got to do
00:41:46is treat each other
00:41:47in a friendly way.
00:41:52All right.
00:41:53Thank you both.
00:41:55Good work tonight.
00:41:55Well done.
00:41:56That was hard.
00:42:04You know, darlings.
00:42:09Well done, guys.
00:42:15I'll just be a guy
00:42:17OK, our next couple on the couch
00:42:24Alyssa and David
00:42:25Hello, you two
00:42:29Hello
00:42:31Welcome
00:42:34How was Feedback Week for you guys?
00:42:36So obviously Feedback Week started with some receipts from Juliet
00:42:41Um, from last couch session that we had
00:42:44That was the start of our Feedback Week
00:42:47Which was kind of negative
00:42:49You hear about, oh, just some messages
00:42:51But they were actually really vicious
00:42:54Yeah, it wasn't OK
00:42:56It definitely was fresh
00:42:57It was fresh hurt for David and I
00:43:00Yeah, look, um
00:43:01Seeing those text messages
00:43:03Just reopened wounds
00:43:05That were obviously closing over
00:43:08Obviously it was a negative vibe to Feedback Week
00:43:11We didn't want to see that
00:43:12But it came to us
00:43:13So, yeah, um
00:43:14Yeah, moving on from that
00:43:18Feedback Week actually went really well
00:43:20Because we managed to talk about, um
00:43:23Some things
00:43:23Yeah, we talked about a plan
00:43:25For when we left the experiment
00:43:26What that was going to look like
00:43:28You know, a bit of long distance maybe
00:43:29And then, uh, figure out
00:43:31Like, if we're moving to maybe Adelaide
00:43:36So obviously, you know
00:43:38Getting to an age
00:43:39And the next couple of years
00:43:40I want to have a family
00:43:42And I want to be in Adelaide for that
00:43:45And that was something
00:43:46That I hadn't talked to David about
00:43:48But he was amazing
00:43:49He was like
00:43:50I understand if you need to be with your family
00:43:52And you need extra support
00:43:53Then we're going to move to Adelaide
00:43:54And I understand raising kids
00:43:56Is not an easy task
00:43:57So, you know
00:43:57She's obviously got her family there
00:43:59Her mum
00:43:59And her mum's a legend
00:44:03Alyssa would be a fantastic mother
00:44:05She notices everything about me
00:44:06You know what I'm saying
00:44:07Like, she helps me a lot
00:44:10I did say, though
00:44:11I did say
00:44:12You did say something
00:44:13I did say, though
00:44:13She reminds me of my mother
00:44:15She might be like
00:44:16Don't wear that shirt
00:44:17It doesn't, like
00:44:18It doesn't look good on you
00:44:20Like, just straight to the point
00:44:21And direct
00:44:22That's what my mother would do
00:44:24So, that's what makes me know
00:44:25That she's got deep feelings
00:44:26And she cares
00:44:27Because, like
00:44:27She tells me things that challenge me
00:44:30You know
00:44:30And she doesn't just settle
00:44:32Like, she's always looking to grow
00:44:34She brings out the best in me as well
00:44:35And I think that's someone I need in my life
00:44:38Someone who's always going to push me to be better
00:44:40Hmm
00:44:41So you're in a good place, guys
00:44:43I feel like we're
00:44:45We're the strongest we've ever been
00:44:47Yeah
00:44:47I would agree
00:44:48Right now
00:44:48Yeah
00:44:49That's great
00:44:50Yeah
00:44:51Brilliant
00:44:52Let's go to the decision
00:44:54Alyssa, what'll it be?
00:44:55Well, obviously
00:44:56We've got an exciting week coming up
00:44:58Mm-hmm
00:44:59Home stay
00:44:59Home stay
00:45:00I'm about to convince you
00:45:01That you might like Adelaide, so
00:45:04Stay
00:45:05What was that?
00:45:06Fabulous
00:45:07Show you around
00:45:09I'm excited
00:45:10So, I wrote stay
00:45:12I go to Lil Plains
00:45:14Oh!
00:45:15Fly
00:45:15Fly to Adelaide
00:45:16Oh, you're getting adventurous
00:45:17Take me home, baby
00:45:18Yep
00:45:18I love it
00:45:19Ready to go
00:45:20Yeah
00:45:20There has been some really tough times for you guys
00:45:25And you've just turned toward each other
00:45:28Backed each other
00:45:29And supported each other
00:45:30Like a real team
00:45:31Thanks, guys
00:45:33Well done
00:45:43Coming up
00:45:44Frankly, when I watch you on the couch
00:45:47You seem uncomfortable
00:45:49The experts apply the pressure to Daniel
00:45:52If you could do it over again
00:45:53How would you answer it?
00:45:56I'd just say yes
00:45:58Yes what?
00:45:59I could see myself
00:46:00Well done
00:46:00Yeah
00:46:01That's as simple as that
00:46:02And would that be the truth?
00:46:18Our next couple up on the couch
00:46:23Phillip and Stella
00:46:28Hello
00:46:29Hello
00:46:29Hello, hello
00:46:30Hi
00:46:30Welcome
00:46:32Hi
00:46:32Last week was a little bit tough
00:46:36For you two on the couch
00:46:37Yeah, it was
00:46:38I see such a different energy
00:46:40Just walking up to the couch
00:46:44I really want to thank Mel for her advice
00:46:46To focus on the emotional safety
00:46:48That he's providing and giving me
00:46:51And it's such a simple thing when you think
00:46:53But I didn't think about it
00:46:55And that was just like a penny drop moment for me
00:46:58I really, I really want to thank you guys
00:47:00Because I think if not the confinements of the experiment
00:47:03Probably would be a different story at the end of the day
00:47:06So yeah, thank you
00:47:08It's these uncomfortable chats that need to happen
00:47:10It's not you having a go
00:47:12It's just
00:47:12Yeah
00:47:13It helps
00:47:14It helped us this week
00:47:15Tremendously
00:47:16Great to hear
00:47:17We ended up having a good week
00:47:19Like she was a lot more gentler
00:47:20Like, you know
00:47:21Coming and leading with kindness
00:47:23She's just been a little bit more gentle
00:47:25Just with her delivery
00:47:25I can see sometimes she just
00:47:27As she sometimes starts talking
00:47:28She'll just stop
00:47:29And then she'll just go a little bit softer
00:47:32Just things like that, you know
00:47:33Just little subtle differences
00:47:34That you can tell
00:47:35Like, yeah, don't get me wrong
00:47:36Stella's still stellar
00:47:37But, you know
00:47:38But she's a little bit
00:47:39Yeah
00:47:40Moving on
00:47:41A little bit different energy
00:47:42And we actually had a really, really good week
00:47:44Go ask the question of like
00:47:46Alright, if we go outside the experiment
00:47:48How quick would you expect
00:47:49Like a proposal or something like that
00:47:51Just to like fully escalate things
00:47:53You know, you're just asking randomly
00:47:54Just throw it out there
00:47:55It's a free question
00:47:57That's it
00:47:58Six to twelve months
00:47:59And Stella was just like ASAP
00:48:01So it's just kind of like
00:48:02I said the sooner the better
00:48:04Wow
00:48:07Sometimes I thought that like
00:48:08I was fully over-invested
00:48:09And I was showing too much
00:48:11Because that's a general trade of mine
00:48:12I just go all in
00:48:13You know, I show all my cards
00:48:15Here they are, you know
00:48:16I never really hold back
00:48:17That's kind of like a trade of mine
00:48:19But it was good to get the reassurance
00:48:21But yeah, we
00:48:22Can I just point out something
00:48:23That's quite stark for you, Stella
00:48:27Last week
00:48:28You were essentially pushing him away
00:48:30Yeah
00:48:30And creating that space
00:48:32Yeah
00:48:32And this week
00:48:33You're saying
00:48:34You want a real-life proposal
00:48:36ASAP
00:48:37Well, let's put it that way
00:48:38I didn't say I would like a proposal
00:48:40That was a free question
00:48:41Let's clarify
00:48:42And I got really shy
00:48:44I got really uncomfortable
00:48:45And I said the sooner the better
00:48:46You know
00:48:47The sooner the better
00:48:47Yeah, so
00:48:48But still, the stark contrast
00:48:49I guess from last week
00:48:51How does that feel
00:48:51From your perspective?
00:48:54Like I'm crazy
00:48:55Like I'm crazy
00:48:55I'm trying to make sense of it
00:48:55It'll be confusing
00:48:57No, it's good enough being crazy
00:48:58But it's just
00:48:59It's extreme
00:48:59Can't really give up
00:49:00It's extreme
00:49:01And it has an emotional impact
00:49:03So I'm just wondering
00:49:04How that feels for you
00:49:04It's good
00:49:05It shows that she's forward thinking
00:49:07She sees me in her future
00:49:09And that she's like the real deal
00:49:10You know
00:49:11When you think about the future
00:49:13Is this something that you can see
00:49:15For the two of you?
00:49:16Yeah, yeah
00:49:16Definitely
00:49:17Most definitely
00:49:18So yeah
00:49:18Pretty, pretty confident
00:49:22It's just interesting tonight
00:49:24That the first thing I noticed
00:49:25Was the way you looked at him again
00:49:26Aww
00:49:27Yeah, I'm in love again
00:49:29You were back into that
00:49:30Sort of starry-eyed interaction
00:49:32Where you gaze at him
00:49:34In extended ways
00:49:36Oh, you're going to make me cry
00:49:39We lost that last week
00:49:42Yeah
00:49:43I would say
00:49:44I just fell back into my feelings
00:49:46Into my body
00:49:47Into showing up for myself
00:49:48And then showing up for him
00:49:49Because if I don't show up for myself
00:49:51I can't show up for him
00:49:52Yeah
00:49:52And that's the main difference
00:49:53And ultimately
00:49:54I think you had to get out of your head
00:49:56Yep
00:49:57And into your heart
00:49:58Yep
00:49:58Which is ultimately
00:50:00What we were trying to get you to do
00:50:02Mm
00:50:03All right
00:50:03Well with that being the case
00:50:05Let's go to the decision
00:50:06Stay or leave
00:50:07Decision is very simple
00:50:09And being back into my heart
00:50:12Aha
00:50:13Have a beautiful stay
00:50:14Excellent
00:50:14Look at that, eh?
00:50:15Perfect
00:50:16Love it
00:50:17And Philip
00:50:18It's a stay
00:50:20Strong
00:50:21Strong stay
00:50:22Strong stay
00:50:23Strong seven
00:50:24Strong seven
00:50:25Well thank you
00:50:26We really
00:50:26I personally really appreciate the advices
00:50:29That you guys gave
00:50:29Good work
00:50:30Thank you
00:50:31Will do
00:50:31Thank you
00:50:32Thanks again
00:50:41And our final couple up on the couch
00:50:44Bec and Danny
00:50:46Ooh
00:50:47I'm scared
00:50:52Right
00:50:56Feedback week
00:50:57How was it?
00:50:59Do you want to
00:50:59You talk
00:51:00I'll talk
00:51:00It's been good
00:51:01It was challenging
00:51:02To begin with
00:51:03But it ended
00:51:05Really really well
00:51:06Why was it challenging?
00:51:10So
00:51:11Obviously like
00:51:12I told Danny
00:51:13That I'm in love with him
00:51:15The last commitment ceremony
00:51:17You certainly did
00:51:19It's how I feel
00:51:20So I'm going to say it
00:51:24And I meant it
00:51:26But when we sort of did the questions
00:51:29There was one question that came up was
00:51:31Can you see yourself falling in love with me?
00:51:35And Danny didn't say no
00:51:36But he sort of umdenied a little bit
00:51:38And I just spiralled
00:51:42So what was his exact answer?
00:51:47Potentially yes
00:51:48I assume so
00:51:51So how did that feel?
00:51:53Um
00:51:53I was upset
00:51:54I was hurt
00:51:55And I was kind of embarrassed
00:52:01I thought that he
00:52:03Would have said
00:52:05I'm not there yet
00:52:06But yes
00:52:06I just thought that
00:52:09That he would be a little bit further along
00:52:12Than potentially
00:52:13Yes
00:52:13I assume so
00:52:14But I need to
00:52:16Allow Daniel to
00:52:18Be on his journey
00:52:20In this relationship
00:52:22And I'll be on mine
00:52:23And don't regret it
00:52:24Be me
00:52:27I'm in love
00:52:29He's not there yet
00:52:30Don't allow that
00:52:31Fact
00:52:32To ruin
00:52:33How good it feels for me
00:52:39It's all right
00:52:44Danny
00:52:48Let's go to that discussion
00:52:49Shall we
00:52:50And when the question got asked
00:52:52Tell us again
00:52:53What you said
00:52:53And then why you said it
00:52:56Well
00:52:58The questions asked
00:52:59Sometimes I struggle with
00:53:00To be honest
00:53:02I think I misinterpreted
00:53:04The question
00:53:07But the question
00:53:09What was it
00:53:09Like it was a bit
00:53:10Could you see yourself
00:53:10Falling in love with me
00:53:13Because it's a pretty
00:53:14Black and white question
00:53:25If you want to know
00:53:26What I looked like
00:53:2712 months ago
00:53:28This is it
00:53:29This is the last time
00:53:31I went surfing
00:53:31Basically
00:53:32It was overhead height
00:53:33But I realised
00:53:34The surf's a bit
00:53:35Beyond my level
00:53:35I tried pulling off
00:53:37The wave
00:53:37I could see a sandbank
00:53:39And I went straight down
00:53:41Head first
00:53:42Onto my fin
00:53:43I was surprised
00:53:44I came out alive
00:53:46To be honest
00:53:47Surfing is a beautiful thing
00:53:49But honestly
00:53:49I've just been too scared
00:53:50To get back out there
00:53:51I remember
00:53:52You were walking up
00:53:53And I don't know
00:53:54If it was that
00:53:55You could see the blood
00:53:55Or something
00:53:56But you started running
00:53:57Well I got closer
00:53:58And the dude said to me
00:53:59I was like
00:54:00What'd she do
00:54:00And he's like
00:54:01Dude she has the most
00:54:02Gnarly fin shop
00:54:02I've ever seen
00:54:0419 stitches
00:54:05Honestly I looked like
00:54:06Harry Potter
00:54:07The doctors in hospital
00:54:08Said you cannot have
00:54:09A knock like this again
00:54:10The concussion you had
00:54:12Next time
00:54:13It won't be okay
00:54:17Fear for me
00:54:18In gymnastics
00:54:19Actually ended up
00:54:20Stopping me
00:54:20I would pull out
00:54:22Of skills
00:54:22Where you like
00:54:23Think you're gonna commit
00:54:24You say to yourself
00:54:25Like I can do this
00:54:27And in the middle
00:54:28You're like
00:54:29I'm too scared
00:54:29And you literally
00:54:30Land on your head
00:54:31Like you're actually
00:54:32Hurting yourself
00:54:33But you're not
00:54:34Trying to hurt yourself
00:54:36And I was getting
00:54:36Severely injured daily
00:54:37I saw a sports psychologist
00:54:39And no matter what
00:54:40They said
00:54:40I couldn't stop
00:54:41That was a mental challenge
00:54:43I couldn't overcome
00:54:44Because I knew gymnastics
00:54:45Was gonna be taken away from me
00:54:47I learned to accept it
00:54:49In gymnastics
00:54:49But like I'm not
00:54:50Accepting this in surf
00:54:51I have a background
00:54:52In fitness coaching
00:54:53Canceling
00:54:54I'm always trying to show
00:54:54To people
00:54:55You can do anything
00:54:56And so
00:54:57It's a little bit like
00:54:58You're imposter
00:54:59Because there's one part of you
00:55:01That you can't get past
00:55:02But you'd expect that
00:55:03From others
00:55:04I'm a go-getter
00:55:05I don't let anything stop me
00:55:06And this is the one thing
00:55:08That's stopping me
00:55:09So if I can do this today
00:55:11I can get back on that path
00:55:14But yeah
00:55:15I am a bit nervous
00:55:20I feel incredibly apprehensive
00:55:24The fluttering chest
00:55:25Is not stopping
00:55:26And I'm just hoping
00:55:28That today's gonna be okay
00:55:29The worst thing that can happen
00:55:31Is a redo of last year
00:55:34And that better not happen today
00:55:36My confidence can't
00:55:38My confidence can't handle it
00:55:40I can't have another crash like that
00:55:43Like
00:55:44It really, really impacted my confidence
00:55:48And that's not like me
00:55:49Like
00:55:50I'm known as a person
00:55:51That's a go-getter
00:55:52And doesn't stop
00:55:53And doesn't let fear stop them
00:55:54So
00:55:56I can't have a knock like that again
00:55:59I'm really scared
00:56:00I just don't want to be near people
00:56:03Because people see me
00:56:04As this confident person
00:56:05They don't get
00:56:08I am petrified
00:56:19I think I misinterpreted the question
00:56:24But the question
00:56:25What was it like
00:56:26It was a bit
00:56:26Could you see yourself
00:56:27Falling in love with me
00:56:28Yeah
00:56:28Because it's a pretty
00:56:29Black and white question
00:56:39From my point of view
00:56:41I don't feel
00:56:42As a man
00:56:44Like
00:56:44If I
00:56:45If I give back my word on something
00:56:47I'm always gonna stand to that
00:56:50And
00:56:50I don't think
00:56:52Saying
00:56:52Yes
00:56:53I can 100%
00:56:54Fall in love with you
00:56:55Would be the right thing to say
00:56:57Because it's almost making a promise
00:56:59Which I don't think
00:57:00You can promise that
00:57:00Before you're in love with someone
00:57:04But let's just
00:57:05Remind ourselves
00:57:06The question wasn't
00:57:08Do you promise
00:57:09That you will fall in love with me
00:57:11Yeah
00:57:11I know John
00:57:11100%
00:57:12It was
00:57:13Can you see yourself
00:57:14Falling in love with me
00:57:18Yeah
00:57:19And do you know what
00:57:20Like
00:57:21I can't sit here
00:57:22And make excuses
00:57:22I just answered the question
00:57:24Shockingly
00:57:24You know what I mean
00:57:28It was a mistake
00:57:29I made a mistake
00:57:30I'm only human
00:57:32Like I didn't
00:57:33I didn't mean to make
00:57:34Bec feel like that
00:57:35It wasn't
00:57:36My intention
00:57:38When
00:57:39When we revisited it
00:57:41I
00:57:41We talked about it
00:57:43We talked about it
00:57:43And we patched it up
00:57:46You know
00:57:50Yeah
00:57:51I just
00:57:52I made a mistake
00:57:53It's alright baby
00:57:58Danny
00:57:59I've got a question
00:58:00Because I'm curious
00:58:02Frankly
00:58:03When I watch you
00:58:04On the couch
00:58:05You seem uncomfortable
00:58:08I do find this uncomfortable
00:58:10To be honest
00:58:11It's not something
00:58:12What's uncomfortable about it
00:58:14Just sitting here
00:58:15Talking about your feelings
00:58:17I turn up and do it
00:58:19Because obviously
00:58:20It's more for Bec
00:58:21If I had it my way
00:58:22I wouldn't be here
00:58:23No chance
00:58:24But we need this baby
00:58:25Is it more for Bec?
00:58:29100%
00:58:33Like a lot of blokes
00:58:34Do things they don't want to do
00:58:36Because of their
00:58:36Hold on a second
00:58:37One second babe
00:58:39Adore you
00:58:40So much
00:58:41I love you
00:58:42Actually
00:58:42But
00:58:44This is not all for me
00:58:45No I know that
00:58:46They're like
00:58:47You're being
00:58:47They're helping you too
00:58:48Trust me
00:58:52These couch sessions
00:58:53Are not just for Bec
00:58:54You signed up
00:58:55To the experiment
00:58:56On your own
00:58:58Saying that you wanted
00:58:59To break some patterns
00:59:01So this is the chance
00:59:02For you to do that
00:59:03And that's your part
00:59:04Where you have to
00:59:05Rise to the occasion
00:59:06And choose to do that
00:59:08With enthusiasm
00:59:10Enthusiasm
00:59:11Thank you
00:59:11Thanks Alessandra
00:59:12You're welcome
00:59:13No but it's true
00:59:14You want your partner
00:59:15To want to
00:59:17And that's the game changer
00:59:18When somebody really
00:59:19Wants to be there for you
00:59:21And chooses to make
00:59:23Your priority
00:59:23Day in and day out
00:59:24Wow that's the game changer
00:59:26It would be for you
00:59:27It certainly will be for Bec
00:59:33And what you know now
00:59:34Is when you're particularly
00:59:35Talking about commitment
00:59:37Future
00:59:39Feelings
00:59:41You do have to
00:59:42Choose your words
00:59:43Very carefully
00:59:46You do indeed
00:59:48If you could do it
00:59:49Over again
00:59:50How would you answer it
00:59:52I'd just say yes
00:59:56Yes what
00:59:57I could see myself
00:59:58All in love with you
00:59:59Yeah
00:59:59That's as simple as that
01:00:02And would that be the truth
01:00:06Of course I wouldn't say
01:00:08If it wasn't the truth
01:00:09So yeah
01:00:11I just answered it wrong
01:00:16I think the best thing
01:00:18With Daniel and I
01:00:18And I've learnt
01:00:20Is that you know
01:00:21We always come out
01:00:22Better and stronger
01:00:23Because now
01:00:25Moving forward
01:00:25We're in this together
01:00:27And it makes me feel like
01:00:29I'm not
01:00:30Going to get hurt
01:00:33It means so much
01:00:34And like for example
01:00:36He planned this date
01:00:38And I walked into our apartment
01:00:40And there was candles
01:00:41Lit everywhere
01:00:42And all over the apartment
01:00:44Was post-it notes
01:00:46Telling me
01:00:47How he felt about me
01:00:50So he's learning guys
01:00:52He's learning about me
01:00:53I'm not all bad am I
01:00:54And then
01:00:55We went up
01:00:56And he asked me
01:00:57To be his girlfriend
01:01:02I know you're married
01:01:03But what
01:01:04Inspired you
01:01:05To ask Beck
01:01:05That question
01:01:07I'm trying to think
01:01:10Like
01:01:10It was
01:01:11It was important
01:01:12To Beck
01:01:13You know
01:01:13Because like
01:01:14Why was it important
01:01:14To you
01:01:22Because it
01:01:23Because it gives
01:01:24Beck security
01:01:26But why is it
01:01:27Important to you
01:01:27Danny
01:01:31Well I'm married
01:01:32To Beck
01:01:32Do you know
01:01:33What you mean
01:01:33So it's like
01:01:34But
01:01:34Like
01:01:35I think it
01:01:36It was more
01:01:42Yeah I think
01:01:42Beck just wanted
01:01:43That added security
01:01:44That like
01:01:44Do you
01:01:45But why was it
01:01:45Important to you
01:01:46To ask her that
01:01:51F***
01:02:08Yeah I think
01:02:08Beck just wanted
01:02:09That added security
01:02:10That like
01:02:11Do you
01:02:11But why was it
01:02:11Important to you
01:02:12To ask her that
01:02:17F***
01:02:23Because I know
01:02:24Because I know
01:02:24It would be special
01:02:25To Beck
01:02:27But why was it
01:02:28Important to you
01:02:41Because I wanted to be
01:02:42My girlfriend
01:02:42Like
01:02:44You know
01:02:46Yeah that's
01:02:46That's why
01:02:47I've done it
01:02:49Cute
01:02:56How did it feel
01:02:58So good
01:03:03It's really special
01:03:04To me
01:03:08Alright well on that note
01:03:09We're going to go
01:03:09To a decision
01:03:10Beck
01:03:12I wrote
01:03:13Stay
01:03:13And then I wrote
01:03:14Boyfriend
01:03:14He he
01:03:15Oh
01:03:21Danny
01:03:23Leave

01:03:44How you feel
01:03:45About her
01:03:46Everything that you wrote
01:03:47On those post-it notes
01:03:49Translate that
01:03:50Into your verbal communication

01:05:11To protect her
01:05:12Stella's outspoken
01:05:13Guests from her wedding day
01:05:15Are back
01:05:15So like

01:05:17I'm getting
01:05:18Sorry to interrupt you
01:05:19I'm getting some
01:05:20Not so confident vibes
01:05:21From over here
01:05:23And then
01:05:24Welcome
01:05:25Scott shows off to Gia
01:05:27His waterside home
01:05:29Oh it's a bit messy
01:05:30So random
01:05:32Weird
01:05:32This wouldn't be big enough
01:05:34It'd be better
01:05:34If that wasn't there
01:05:35Is Gia the most
01:05:36High maintenance house guest
01:05:38Scott's ever seen
01:05:39Um
01:05:40My house is way cleaner
01:05:42Yeah I couldn't
01:05:43I couldn't live here
01:05:44If the roles were reversed
01:05:45And I was at Gia's house
01:05:46I wouldn't say anything
01:05:47But nice things
