00:00:00Previously, after seven intense weeks in the experiment, the next phase of the
00:00:13experiment began. Feedback week saw our couples receive fresh perspectives on
00:00:21their marriages from their peers. Did you see the commitment ceremony when he was
00:00:25like, Sam will come to Sydney and then we'll do this. We had not spoken about that plan.
00:00:31Sam was able to express his concerns about Chris making future plans for the pair
00:00:36without consultation. I just feel like I didn't get a say or a voice at all.
00:00:41Alyssa warned David not to discuss those messages. The comments were vile,
00:00:46disgusting. How do you know what they were? We've seen them. And...
00:00:53She done a runner. I'm gonna rename her Usain Bolt. Danny was stood up.
00:00:57I'm not doing it. When Gia refused to participate in the partner swap.
00:01:02This experiment is fortunate. I think Gia, you're not giving her any drama. She's
00:01:07seeking that drama to fulfill her internal need. And after receiving direct feedback
00:01:12from Stella... The advice I got was quite reasonable, I feel. I just need to deliver it
00:01:15the right way for her to not feel offended. Fingers crossed, it goes the right way.
00:01:19I just don't really care for her feedback. Scott was hesitant to share his findings
00:01:23with Gia. Um... If I knew if I went too deep, I'd be over the balcony.
00:01:34Tonight... Oh my god! It's Alyssa and Stephen's turn to get some fresh feedback.
00:01:41Maybe this is your opportunity to jump right, Jo. Take the lead, Stephen. Alright, that's it.
00:01:46But not all our participants will see this week as constructive criticism.
00:01:52You just, like, made a decision on how... Well, no. Actually, no. That's not true.
00:01:56As a tense standoff ensues for one of our strongest couples...
00:02:00Even now, I feel like you're getting defensive. I'm not getting defensive. I'm having a conversation.
00:02:04I am sad. I'm disappointed. Do you see me as the mother-father of your children?
00:02:10Yes, I do see you as a father of my children.
00:02:13And as Feedback Week continues...
00:02:16No thanks.
00:02:19Bye.
00:02:21What's in the anonymous letter...
00:02:23If we just get through this...
00:02:24I want to get out of here, babe.
00:02:25...that pushes Gia to breaking point?
00:02:29Gia wants to leave.
00:02:37It's Feedback Week, and across the city, our couples are partaking in an anonymous one-on-one partner swap task
00:02:45set by the experts.
00:02:47The partner swap allows couples to gain an outside perspective on their relationships.
00:02:53But it was nice to just talk freely.
00:02:54Week after week, our couples get critical feedback from us, as experts.
00:02:59But this week is all about feedback from those within the bubble of the experiment.
00:03:03Their peers.
00:03:06And despite a devastating 24 hours, Alyssa is putting on a brave face and is ready to participate in this
00:03:14task.
00:03:15Obviously, David and I, we've come off the back of, like, some pretty heavy times.
00:03:22Tonight, Juliet felt passionate enough to send me the receipts about the language that was used behind my back.
00:03:31What I just read was f***ing disgusting.
00:03:36But today, I just want to focus on the task.
00:03:39You know, I'm here for David and our relationship, so yes.
00:03:42I'm really excited and I'm always open to feedback.
00:03:44And I'm not sure who I'm going to be partnered with today, but I feel like it's really hard to
00:03:49take feedback from people that have burnt you.
00:03:52So, hopefully it's not Beck.
00:03:54Do I look or do I not look?
00:04:05Oh, hello there.
00:04:07Oh, my God.
00:04:09Hello.
00:04:10Hi.
00:04:11Hi.
00:04:12I walk in and I see Alyssa.
00:04:14And I was wondering who I was going to meet.
00:04:15I'm like, who is it going to be?
00:04:17I actually feel really good.
00:04:18If I want advice and feedback, it's probably the best that it comes from Rachel's best friend because they talk
00:04:23like crazy.
00:04:25Alyssa knows everything.
00:04:26Probably if I fart in my sleep or something, who knows?
00:04:29I've been wanting to talk to you.
00:04:31Oh, fantastic.
00:04:34How's your attraction?
00:04:35Are you getting, is that attraction building with Rachel?
00:04:38I can definitely say yes.
00:04:40What is holding you back?
00:04:42Nothing's really holding me back.
00:04:44Intimacy-wise, it's taken a while to get there.
00:04:47You've made such progress.
00:04:50And I feel like maybe this is your opportunity to jump Rachel.
00:04:55You just need to build up that confidence more and take the lead, Steve-o.
00:05:01All right.
00:05:01That's it.
00:05:02How are you and Dave going?
00:05:04I feel like David and I are in such a good place right now in our relationship and I feel
00:05:10like we're on the same page in a lot of areas.
00:05:13The thing I wanted to ask is, what do you see from the outside?
00:05:16I can definitely tell you this.
00:05:19I've seen Dave at those dinner parties and when you're not around, he's got your back.
00:05:28He's got me.
00:05:29He's got me.
00:05:30He's got your back.
00:05:31It's amazing.
00:05:31He has your best interest at heart and he's just amazing.
00:05:35He's so calm and collected and he respects you so much and is a connection.
00:05:40I've seen you two at the retreat, the connection you two had.
00:05:44It's super sweet.
00:05:46You are a match.
00:05:46There's no doubt about it.
00:05:48All I can say is, keep going because you're a match.
00:05:53Look, Steve-o, I feel like he really took on board the feedback that I had for him and I'm
00:05:57so happy about the feedback that Steven gave me.
00:06:00It was really reassuring to hear that we are a strong couple.
00:06:04Cheers.
00:06:04Cheers to that.
00:06:05Cheers to us and our relationship.
00:06:08100%.
00:06:08And hurry up and jump, Rach.
00:06:10Ah.
00:06:12The first phase of feedback week has come to a close.
00:06:17And while Alyssa is feeling reassured in her relationship with David, back at the apartments,
00:06:25David is feeling nervous about his catch up with Beck.
00:06:30I am nervous sitting here waiting for Alyssa to walk in because I don't know how she's going
00:06:36to take the fact that I had to talk to Beck about text messages that Beck sent and I did
00:06:43not want to talk about it, but Beck obviously brought it up, so I couldn't shy away from
00:06:47it, you know?
00:06:48Do you know what?
00:06:48I wanted to talk to you and Alyssa, but obviously I couldn't, about those messages.
00:06:52I wasn't rude about you.
00:06:54I wasn't rude about Alyssa.
00:06:55I was just talking about your relationship.
00:06:58I don't want to take away from Alyssa's part.
00:07:00I'm sure she'll talk to you in her own time, but I felt like the comments were vile, disgusting,
00:07:06and very, like, mean and vicious.
00:07:08But how do you know what they were?
00:07:11Did Juliette send them to Alyssa?
00:07:14She did.
00:07:15It's hard to look past that.
00:07:19Hello, Mark.
00:07:20What it do?
00:07:22Hello.
00:07:23Hi.
00:07:23How are you?
00:07:24Good, how are you?
00:07:25I'm good.
00:07:27How was your day?
00:07:27Good.
00:07:28How was you?
00:07:29Yeah, I was good.
00:07:30I was good.
00:07:31Yeah, that's good.
00:07:33Who did you catch up with today?
00:07:35Who did I catch up with today?
00:07:41Oh, I caught up with Bec.
00:07:44Where do I begin?
00:07:46I sat there, and I was thinking...
00:07:48How did you hold your breath?
00:07:50Because we spoke about it before you left.
00:07:52I was like, do not mention the messages.
00:07:55Well, I went in thinking...
00:07:57Did you mention them?
00:07:58She brought it up.
00:08:00Babe, no!
00:08:00She brought it up, yeah.
00:08:04The one thing I said to David today, before he left, was please do not bring up the text
00:08:12messages.
00:08:15And it was brought up, and it upset me, because I'm like, I'm really disappointed, because
00:08:20that is something I wanted to address.
00:08:23Because she was like, she was apologizing, and then she tried to say, you should have seen
00:08:27the other side of Gia.
00:08:28And she's like, it's all Gia's fault.
00:08:31Gia has a problem with me, but she keeps on making it out like it's me.
00:08:36But Gia sent them to Juliet to try and throw me under the bus, but hurt you.
00:08:40At the center of everything is Gia.
00:08:43I don't know what to believe anymore, but I don't care how many sorries I get.
00:08:47Oh yeah, I'm with you, 100%.
00:08:49How many sorries it needs to be addressed?
00:08:51Yeah.
00:08:52She knows that you're kind, she's leaning into you, and she is manipulating you.
00:08:57But I don't...
00:08:58I don't believe it.
00:08:58No, but all I did was I said, look, you and my wife can sort it out, is essentially what
00:09:03I said.
00:09:03I said, Alyssa, I'm not going to take away from Alyssa, but I said I wasn't cool with you.
00:09:08But babe, I asked you, like, not to.
00:09:10How do you think I felt sitting there, and the first thing that comes out of her mouth
00:09:14is the situation?
00:09:15What did you want me to do?
00:09:16You should have said, I'm not, this is not for me to step in, like, I don't agree with...
00:09:21Well, like, that's what I said, I said you...
00:09:24No, but babe, you went there.
00:09:24I asked you one thing.
00:09:26I feel like David should have just shut it down completely.
00:09:30Bec just wants a leg to stand on, because as soon as Julia obviously brought her up on
00:09:34the couch, she was shitting herself.
00:09:36You should be careful with how much you are upset about me saying that, when I have screenshots
00:09:43of what you've said about Alyssa and David.
00:09:47It was vile.
00:09:54She wanted to make sure she addressed it with David, to try and back herself somewhat.
00:09:59But, yeah, I'm pretty upset, because, like, that is something that I wanted to address,
00:10:03girl to girl.
00:10:04I understand you're upset, and I heard you loud and clear before I left today, but it's
00:10:10not something that I'm gonna, that I wanted to address, it's something that you can address
00:10:14with her.
00:10:15At the end of the day, I am very protective of Alyssa.
00:10:18And even though I didn't want to talk about the situation at all, when Bec brought it
00:10:23up, I felt like I had no choice, because it was, the last person I wanted to see was that,
00:10:28was her.
00:10:29Yeah.
00:10:29I know that you're pissed, just as pissed as me.
00:10:32100%.
00:10:32I know that you are.
00:10:33I feel like a idiot.
00:10:36I actually feel like an idiot in this whole experiment.
00:10:40Like, I've been fooled so many times.
00:10:44Bec's apology means nothing to me.
00:10:46She has proven, over and over again, she can't be trusted.
00:10:50And I know that she's manipulative, because she always gets her f*** away.
00:10:53Yeah.
00:10:54I'm a nice girl.
00:10:55I know.
00:10:55I trusted Gia and Bec.
00:10:57Yeah.
00:10:57I've forgiven them both.
00:10:59I've, I, and then still, it's just.
00:11:01That's what, like, hurts me a bit.
00:11:03Like, honestly, I hate seeing you like this, and it, it just frustrates me.
00:11:22I don't know what to believe anymore.
00:11:34And down the hall, Bec is awaiting
00:11:38Danny's return from his partner swap task.
00:11:42Hello, babe.
00:11:43Hello, darling.
00:11:45How are ya?
00:11:47Good.
00:11:47How was your day?
00:11:49My day was, was f***ing amazing.
00:11:51Who did you see?
00:11:52How was yours?
00:11:53Good.
00:11:54Who did you see?
00:11:56The, the better question would be, who did I not see?
00:12:01What?
00:12:02I was meant to see Gia, but she stood me up.
00:12:07First time I've ever been stood up in my life, and it's by Gia.
00:12:09So funny.
00:12:12The streak is over.
00:12:14Well, that's hilarious.
00:12:14So did you speak to anyone?
00:12:15No, no one.
00:12:16I just had, had a couple of beers in Bondi, chilled out, walk on the beach, done my thing,
00:12:23come back here.
00:12:23So I started shagging birds when I was 14.
00:12:26I'm now 34, 20 years, I've never been stood up once.
00:12:29So it had to happen, had to happen eventually.
00:12:32Out of interest, why do you reckon she didn't show up?
00:12:36Honestly, I think she probably thought it could be you.
00:12:39And if you've lied about someone, and then you have to sit there face to face with them,
00:12:43where you can't run away.
00:12:44It's confronting, isn't it?
00:12:45It's confronting.
00:12:46When you've lied about someone, right?
00:12:49And you've lied about someone, and you've gone at them.
00:12:51Only the other night at the commitment ceremony, she told me to shut the up.
00:12:56She probably thought there's a slim chance I could get Daniel, and I can't, I can't do that.
00:13:02Even if it was a 10% chance, she couldn't risk it.
00:13:06I also truly believe that she's not interested in showing any flaws in her relationship.
00:13:13She's not keen on that.
00:13:15And I think that would be why she's probably refused to do it.
00:13:21A bit of you, a bit of...
00:13:23Do you know what I think's funny though?
00:13:25She hasn't disrespected me, because she doesn't owe me nothing,
00:13:27but she's actually disrespected Scott.
00:13:30Because this task, she could have brought them closer together,
00:13:34if she got some genuine feedback.
00:13:36But because she didn't show up, she's got no feedback.
00:13:40Who'd you have, by the way?
00:13:41David, yeah.
00:13:42How'd you go?
00:13:44When Juliet left the commitment ceremony,
00:13:46she sent Alyssa and David all of the text messages.
00:13:49David, David read the message?
00:13:51David and Alyssa, yep.
00:13:52Oh God.
00:13:53Yeah.
00:13:54And so...
00:13:54What did they say, obviously, because I don't even know what they said.
00:13:56Babe, I don't remember what they said.
00:14:00Alyssa is going down.
00:14:02Rat bitch with her rat husband.
00:14:05The only fake in this place are those two influencer wannabe .
00:14:12I did apologise to him for the messages.
00:14:16I'm just apologising over and over and over and over and over.
00:14:20And I get it.
00:14:21I've done the wrong thing.
00:14:22But I just feel like it's just something...
00:14:26It's just never ending.
00:14:29Honestly, like...
00:14:31How much more apologising can I do?
00:14:34Like...
00:14:35And I will because I have to.
00:14:37And I'm in the wrong for writing them.
00:14:39But...
00:14:40Like...
00:14:41I'm just...
00:14:42I'm on empty.
00:14:45Things that happened two months ago...
00:14:48Gia keeps bringing up to the forefront of...
00:14:52Issues.
00:14:53And Alyssa and David...
00:14:54Juliet brought them up by sending them back.
00:14:56But Gia sent them to Juliet.
00:14:58And they were sent two months ago.
00:15:01I'm actually just so tired, babe.
00:15:03You say you're tired of it.
00:15:05Imagine how David feels.
00:15:06Yeah, I know.
00:15:07He'd be so sick of it.
00:15:08Yeah, of course.
00:15:09And I know, like, you're saying that Gia sent the messages to Juliet.
00:15:15But the reality is, if you didn't send them messages in the first place,
00:15:19she wouldn't have no screenshots to send.
00:15:22I don't care what someone had done to me or how I was feeling.
00:15:26I don't send abusive messages.
00:15:28Like, that's just me.
00:15:29You can't condone it.
00:15:30She's, like, trying to say,
00:15:32Ah, Gia sent them to Juliet.
00:15:34But I'm like,
00:15:35But you sent them in the first place.
00:15:37Without you sending them, there is no screenshots.
00:15:39So that doesn't really fall with me.
00:15:41It all does go back to Bec.
00:15:43So, yet again, our relationship is just, like,
00:15:47almost smurred with all this other stuff.
00:15:50Like, what about that conversation was about us?
00:15:54She's worried about the screenshots are going to be brought up
00:15:57at the next dinner party.
00:15:59But it's like, they probably will be.
00:16:01So if people want to say a few things to her
00:16:04and call her out of order and stuff like that,
00:16:06then she has to just take that on the chin, to be honest.
00:16:09So you've just got to run up and apologise in front of the group again.
00:16:12Again, yeah.
00:16:12And then move on from it.
00:16:14Yeah.
00:16:14And just don't do no dumb shit like that in future.
00:16:27Yeah.
00:16:37Yeah.
00:16:40Yeah.
00:16:43Yeah.
00:16:44Yeah.
00:16:45I just regret sending messages two months ago.
00:16:51I just regret it so much.
00:16:56I just feel like, for the past couple of weeks,
00:17:01retreat and jeers just non-stop for months.
00:17:06And I've told Daniel I love him.
00:17:08And then this week has been intense because it's intensified it.
00:17:12There's pressure and I never wanted that.
00:17:16I'm just really scared of getting hurt.
00:17:20I can't make someone fall in love with me.
00:17:25I just feel like a fool.
00:17:27I just feel silly.
00:17:31That's how I feel.
00:17:43With the partner swap phase finished, Chris is waiting for Sam to return.
00:17:51Sam was left feeling pressured after Chris revealed at the commitment ceremony
00:17:56that he had a firm plan for the pair outside of the experiment.
00:18:01I think what it would probably look like is just like, say we go,
00:18:04well, everything ticks the boxes.
00:18:06We'd have a place in Sydney.
00:18:07So he'd go to Sydney.
00:18:08I would stay primarily at the farm.
00:18:10And then maybe we can float back and forth for a bit from Sydney to the farm.
00:18:14Someone's been thinking about this in quite a bit of detail.
00:18:17I think that's what it would look like if we are successful and I want us to be successful.
00:18:21But he has a lot of stuff to do in the city,
00:18:23whereas I'm like cool to be at the farm full time.
00:18:26But after a constructive chat with Philip about the need to discuss this issue
00:18:30with Chris...
00:18:31Like, I just feel like I didn't get a say or a voice at all.
00:18:34If we'd come to that decision together...
00:18:36Of course.
00:18:37..it would have landed a lot better.
00:18:39Right now you don't feel like you're writing your story.
00:18:41Yeah.
00:18:41You really need to verbalise what your plans are,
00:18:44because this is a partnership, you know?
00:18:47Sam is returning to the apartments feeling encouraged.
00:18:51Coming off the back of talking to Phil, I feel like I can take a step forward
00:18:55in finding a resolution from Chris.
00:18:57I really hope that we work through it together,
00:18:59that he can open up a little bit to my point of view of things.
00:19:06Yeah, it was good chatting with Phil.
00:19:08Um, the one thing that did come up with him is that,
00:19:12like, when we sat on the commitments ceremony couch
00:19:14and the experts were like,
00:19:17what's the plan for us?
00:19:20Um, and you sort of said like,
00:19:21oh, this is how it works, Sam will move to Sydney
00:19:23and if we can go here and this will go here.
00:19:25That's the first time I heard that plan.
00:19:28Yeah.
00:19:28And it was kind of like you've just, like, made a decision on how...
00:19:31No, actually, no.
00:19:33That's not true.
00:19:34I said, if we were to work
00:19:36and if we survive outside of this experiment,
00:19:39I said the most ideal plan would look like
00:19:41us getting a place in Sydney and then living at the farm.
00:19:45Just being like, that's not how it happened.
00:19:46Like, that's how it happened for me.
00:19:48Yeah.
00:19:49So, like, disregarding that.
00:19:51Like, I sat there and like, this is what I heard you saying
00:19:52and it felt like you were saying this is the only way.
00:19:59Um...
00:20:00I'm just, I'm shocked.
00:20:02Like, he's instantly defensive when I tried to bring up something
00:20:05that didn't feel nice for me.
00:20:08It just, like, I don't know, it just...
00:20:10I'm not used to being spoken to that sharply, I guess.
00:20:15Yeah, that's just a conversation I would have rather had the two of us
00:20:20before, like, any sort of plan was, like, suggested.
00:20:22No, it wasn't a plan, it was a suggestion.
00:20:25It was, um...
00:20:27Well, a plan is a suggestion, right?
00:20:28Well, it would be, like, this is the most ideal scenario for...
00:20:31Can you empathise at all?
00:20:32Like, that might have felt, like, a bit like...
00:20:34No, but they asked a question.
00:20:35They said, you know, are you looking at the future?
00:20:37And I answered it.
00:20:42Um...
00:20:43Already, I don't feel like I have much leeway or, like, input
00:20:49into how this can work because it's kind of like,
00:20:52if it is going to work with us, it's got to work your way
00:20:54because you have heaps on, but it doesn't mean that, like, I don't...
00:20:58Like, it would be nice for you to maybe, like, mention sometimes
00:21:05that it is a big weight on my shoulders.
00:21:12I think it's ridiculous.
00:21:13I'm 38.
00:21:14I've got a kid coming.
00:21:15I don't need to argue about coming up with an idea for us
00:21:18after the experiment.
00:21:19When I got asked a question and I answered it,
00:21:21I just feel like it's a bit ridiculous, to be honest.
00:21:25Yeah.
00:21:27If someone said that and I was in Sam's position,
00:21:30to me, I'd be like, oh, my God, that's so cute.
00:21:33They're coming up.
00:21:33He's thinking outside the experiment.
00:21:35Um, I wouldn't have taken it the way that he's taken it.
00:21:39Also, he said, like, you're not showing me a lot of empathy.
00:21:42I get called an empath all the time.
00:21:44Well, I said that you'll be giving up a lot.
00:21:46That's a big change for you as well,
00:21:48but it wasn't, like, a set plan.
00:21:50Like, you could have just, um, chimed in.
00:21:53Yeah.
00:21:54I mean, yeah, I mean...
00:21:56I feel like you're getting really, like, defensive with me now.
00:21:58I'm not getting defensive at all.
00:21:59Well, even, like, a little sorry it felt like that way for you, Sam.
00:22:01I'm sorry that it felt that way.
00:22:03Okay, cool, like...
00:22:03Yeah, I'm sorry that it felt that way, but it was just...
00:22:05But lead with that.
00:22:06Yeah.
00:22:08Um, I can't even remember what language I used,
00:22:10but, yeah, it was not a big deal.
00:22:12Yeah.
00:22:15Yeah.
00:22:15Yeah.
00:22:18I don't know how I feel.
00:22:22When someone tells me that something I did hurt them,
00:22:27I'll always lead with apology.
00:22:29But instead he was like,
00:22:30nah, that's not what I said,
00:22:31and cut me off when he did that.
00:22:33And then proceeded to tell me what he said.
00:22:37Um...
00:22:38I was just looking for...
00:22:39just to be heard.
00:22:43Um...
00:22:56It's a brand new day.
00:22:59How'd you sleep?
00:23:01Great.
00:23:02And whilst Feedback Week is bringing some of our couples closer...
00:23:06There we go.
00:23:07You did great, sweetie.
00:23:12Following their first fight last night,
00:23:14Chris is feeling offended with the comments Sam made
00:23:18about him not being empathetic.
00:23:26I'm feeling like, uh, it's...
00:23:29it's awkward because there's, like, a bit of tension between us.
00:23:32It's not been like this.
00:23:34Yesterday, he said that I have no empathy.
00:23:36That is so hurtful.
00:23:39So, this morning, I've got a clear head, I've slept on it.
00:23:42Um, I wanna just try and clear it up and move forward.
00:23:47How are you feeling after yesterday?
00:23:49Yeah, good.
00:23:49Yeah, cool.
00:23:50Yeah, I said everything I wanted to say.
00:23:52Mm-hmm.
00:23:53Um, yeah.
00:23:54Yeah, I just feel like, um...
00:23:56I'd just like to revisit it quickly,
00:23:58just so that I can, like, move forward.
00:24:00Yeah.
00:24:01So, as hard as it was for you is equally as hard for me.
00:24:04And I think you said, like,
00:24:05I wasn't showing any empathy or whatever,
00:24:07so that's kind of hurt me a little bit
00:24:09because, um, you know, everyone knows me as an empath.
00:24:12Like, I am quite empathetic to people
00:24:14and I didn't realise that you felt like
00:24:16I was not showing any empathy.
00:24:18Like, I felt like I needed more empathy around that situation.
00:24:22So, you need more empathy about the moving situation?
00:24:24Yeah, I just feel like
00:24:25you were maybe, like, sweeping under the rug a little bit
00:24:27how big a deal it was.
00:24:29That's what it felt like.
00:24:30Okay.
00:24:31Yeah.
00:24:32When Mel asked me that question,
00:24:33it was just a throwaway, like, thought that I had
00:24:35while I was on a run.
00:24:36I do feel like, um, yeah, maybe that...
00:24:39that comment was maybe misconstrued or whatever.
00:24:42I'm happy to, like, just, like, move forward from it.
00:24:46Even now, I feel like you're getting defensive.
00:24:47I'm not getting defensive.
00:24:48I'm having a conversation.
00:24:49Okay, cool.
00:24:49I'm just sitting here listening to you.
00:24:51I think the saying that he didn't give me empathy comment
00:24:53hurt him, I guess,
00:24:54because he sees himself as quite an empath.
00:24:56But I think asking for more empathy
00:24:59shouldn't really be met with defensiveness.
00:25:02He's still defensive,
00:25:04but, again, he didn't like me saying that today, yeah.
00:25:06I'm super sensitive to, like, to sharp talking, I guess.
00:25:10I'm not used to it at all.
00:25:11Mm-hm.
00:25:11Um, it's not how I, like, ever communicate.
00:25:13Yeah.
00:25:13Um, so maybe just, like, if...
00:25:16Yeah, you could be a little bit wary of that.
00:25:19Sure, I'll take that on board.
00:25:21Um, I am sad.
00:25:24I'm disappointed.
00:25:26This has all stemmed from the comment that I made on the couch.
00:25:30Sam's upset that I didn't consult him prior to thinking about this.
00:25:33Um, I thought it was cute.
00:25:34I thought it was admirable
00:25:35that I had thought ahead of the experiment.
00:25:38He obviously feels different.
00:25:39He also feels that I was too defensive.
00:25:44I disagree, I think.
00:25:46I just tried to communicate with him this morning.
00:25:48It doesn't seem to be going anywhere.
00:25:52So, yeah, unfortunately, it's a bit orcs.
00:25:57As Feedback Week continues...
00:25:59Oh, I hate these boxes.
00:26:01..Bec and Danny receive a familiar task.
00:26:04The Honesty Box.
00:26:06What is one dream or goal of yours
00:26:08that you wouldn't be willing to give up for me?
00:26:13But will it derail their relationship again?
00:26:16It's not just all fun and games.
00:26:18It's just not.
00:26:19I don't know why I'm laughing.
00:26:21I'm sorry.
00:26:22I'm sorry.
00:26:25Don't touch me.
00:26:26I'm joking.
00:26:26I'm joking.
00:26:27You're pissing me off.
00:26:30You're absolutely pissing me off.
00:26:48As Feedback Week continues,
00:26:50the experts have prepared another task for our couples.
00:26:56Oh, yo.
00:26:57That's the gift that keeps on doing.
00:27:00Oh!
00:27:02Yo!
00:27:04As the experiment enters its final weeks,
00:27:07it's time for the couples to think about
00:27:09taking their relationships outside the experiment
00:27:12and consider any hurdles they may face.
00:27:17Oh, I know that box.
00:27:19I remember it well.
00:27:21I've seen that.
00:27:21I've seen that before.
00:27:22One of the tools we use to assist this process
00:27:25is the Honesty Box,
00:27:27which will ask our couples to face these hard issues.
00:27:31As you all know,
00:27:32life outside the experiment may come with some pretty hefty hurdles.
00:27:35We hope that you can tackle these hard topics head on together,
00:27:40not only answering the questions honestly,
00:27:42but providing feedback, framework and insight.
00:27:48For our couples, these questions will test
00:27:51whether they are able to align on their futures.
00:27:54Stella and Philip jump straight into the challenge.
00:27:57Shall we?
00:27:58Yeah.
00:27:59Do you see me as the mother-father of your children?
00:28:01Yes, I do see you as the father of my children.
00:28:03You have great genes, stud.
00:28:06We both align on so many things.
00:28:10Yes, it would be definitely awesome on that front
00:28:13and you'd be a really good MILF.
00:28:21If we had to do long distance for a while,
00:28:25how much contact do you expect?
00:28:27Once every fortnight, at least for three months.
00:28:32And then we move to Sydney.
00:28:34I like that.
00:28:36For Rachel and Stephen,
00:28:37this task offers an opportunity to open up.
00:28:41Can you see yourself falling in love with me?
00:28:45Can I see myself falling in love with you?
00:28:48The way things are going, yes, I can.
00:28:52You're accepting me for my flaws.
00:28:54You're leaning into my hobbies.
00:28:56You're just an amazing woman.
00:28:58Ah, it makes me feel really good.
00:29:00It really does.
00:29:01And it makes me really excited for the future.
00:29:03Yeah.
00:29:04I'm going to swipe this box.
00:29:06It's good.
00:29:07Um...
00:29:07Keep all sorts of things in here.
00:29:09Keep all our trinkets.
00:29:10Keep some lures in there.
00:29:12Aye!
00:29:13Aye!
00:29:17For Bec and Danny,
00:29:21the Honesty Box is bringing back some memories.
00:29:25So what's it like?
00:29:26Like another, like...
00:29:27Honesty Box.
00:29:28Like the box on the honeymoon?
00:29:30Yeah.
00:29:30That one went well, didn't it?
00:29:32Do you feel any sexual chemistry with me?
00:29:38Not too much, to be honest with you.
00:29:40No.
00:29:50What?
00:29:51That box.
00:29:53Oh, every time I've done one of these, it's gone bad.
00:29:56Do you know what I'd rather have done?
00:29:57I'd rather have someone like whack,
00:29:59kick me straight in the bollocks.
00:30:00I would.
00:30:02It's so hard for me to sit there and answer questions
00:30:05and talk about my feelings.
00:30:08I'm not the type of guy to be like,
00:30:10oh, I feel like this.
00:30:12Like, who's like that?
00:30:13I want to know because I'm not.
00:30:15You ready?
00:30:18I'm excited for this task because we haven't talked about how nice it
00:30:23that I, you know, realised that I was in love with him on a
00:30:26commitment ceremony couch in front of the experts and all of our friends.
00:30:29I love you.
00:30:31I love you.
00:30:38I love you.
00:30:59Talking about his feelings and stuff.
00:31:00It's hard.
00:31:01But I'm hoping we can be super vulnerable and honest because there's a whole life outside
00:31:07of this that we need to be thinking about.
00:31:10What is one dream or goal of yours that you wouldn't be willing to give up for me?
00:31:24I'll be honest.
00:31:27One would hope that you've always been honest.
00:31:30Me and the boys, right, we had a little trip to Rio planned.
00:31:34Yeah.
00:31:36But it was a boys trip.
00:31:37And?
00:31:38I'm going on that.
00:31:41Daniel.
00:31:44I'm joking.
00:31:48What's the question?
00:31:49One goal.
00:31:53One goal of yours that you wouldn't be willing to give up for me?
00:32:00Oh, kids.
00:32:02Yeah?
00:32:03Yeah.
00:32:03I want to be a father.
00:32:04Do you know what you mean?
00:32:06Maybe because I've just been called daddy for years.
00:32:13I'm joking.
00:32:15Do you know what you mean?
00:32:19I just expected him to take it a little bit more seriously.
00:32:23I mean, look, like, I love him the way he is.
00:32:27He's a jokester.
00:32:28Like, every day is hilarious and fun.
00:32:31Don't touch me.
00:32:32I'm joking.
00:32:33I'm joking.
00:32:33But there's a time and a place for joking around.
00:32:36You're pissing me off.
00:32:39You're absolutely pissing me off.
00:32:41Why?
00:32:41This isn't just a task that the experts have given us and it's a he-he-ha-ha.
00:32:49And by him acting like that, it makes me feel like he's not serious about this relationship.
00:32:55It's not just all fun and games.
00:32:58It's just not.
00:33:01Just sometimes it's like there's a place for humans.
00:33:03Sometimes you want me to drop the jokes.
00:33:06I want you to, to like, like today I feel like.
00:33:11I don't know why I'm laughing.
00:33:13I'm sorry.
00:33:14I'm sorry.
00:33:15Because I'm trying not to.
00:33:17She won't find me funny.
00:33:20Oh, she didn't find it funny, did she?
00:33:24I try and crack some jokes to like make light of it and just have some fun with it.
00:33:29Because I find them a bit awkward and I don't know.
00:33:32A lot of these questions I've never thought about.
00:33:33So I'm thinking on my feet and then I start to give her an answer.
00:33:37And like, it's like the wrong answer.
00:33:42Back to Danny.
00:33:44Do you think you will fall in love with me?
00:33:47And why?
00:33:54Do I think I'll fall in love with you and why?
00:33:59I want to be very careful how I answer this question.
00:34:02Um.
00:34:16Why?
00:34:16Back to Danny.
00:34:17Do you think you will fall in love with me?
00:34:21And why?
00:34:28Do I think I'll fall in love with you and why?
00:34:33I want to be very careful how I answer this question.
00:34:36Um.
00:34:40I'd assume I will, yeah.
00:34:44Am I there yet? No.
00:34:46Do I think it's going to go there? Probably.
00:34:56Doesn't make you feel too good.
00:35:01OK.
00:35:02What do you mean? What's that place for?
00:35:05I knew that he wasn't at that stage, right?
00:35:08I knew that.
00:35:10But using the words of potential, I assume, maybe,
00:35:14it's like, no, I'm here, I'm in this, I want to make this work
00:35:17and this is how we're going to do it.
00:35:19Like, that's what I need.
00:35:21Not, ha-ha, jokey-jokey, I might love you, I might not, whatever.
00:35:27That's not going to work for me.
00:35:31Good job, buddy.
00:35:34Why are you feeling like that?
00:35:37Oh, I hate these boxers.
00:35:40You know, who does he think he is?
00:35:41How dare you not think that you could fall in love with me?
00:35:43I'm the best thing that you'll ever get.
00:35:45The end.
00:35:47Like...
00:35:48Anyway.
00:35:57The couples are about to be set a new task,
00:36:00which will allow the feedback they give
00:36:03to be taken to the next level.
00:36:06Do you want me to get it?
00:36:07Yep.
00:36:08Ah, look what it is!
00:36:10I hope it's an apology from the experts
00:36:12for setting me up with Danny yesterday.
00:36:14It's time for the anonymous feedback letter.
00:36:19As the participants move through the experiment together,
00:36:23they have had a front row seat
00:36:25to each other's relationships.
00:36:27This year, we have devised a new task
00:36:29which will ask our couples to think long and hard
00:36:32outside of their own relationships.
00:36:34For this task, you will write
00:36:36an anonymous, honest and constructive letter
00:36:39to another couple in the experiment.
00:36:42Anonymous.
00:36:42Anonymous.
00:36:43Anonymous.
00:36:44I said anonymous.
00:36:46Is he saying it right?
00:36:47This is your chance to tell them
00:36:49what you really think about their relationship,
00:36:51where you see the positives.
00:36:53But also where you believe they need to make changes
00:36:55if they want to succeed outside the experiment.
00:36:58By staying anonymous,
00:36:59they can be completely honest
00:37:01with any critical feedback.
00:37:02Include a clear suggestion
00:37:04they can work on together.
00:37:05This may be a ritual,
00:37:07a conversation,
00:37:08a task,
00:37:09or something else you think
00:37:10they could benefit them.
00:37:13Alyssa and David are writing
00:37:15their anonymous feedback letter
00:37:17to Rachel and Stephen.
00:37:20Now we just get a brainstorm.
00:37:21This is the best possible outcome
00:37:23because David and I are very close
00:37:25to Rachel and Stephen
00:37:26and Rachel's my best friend.
00:37:27And I've given Stephen
00:37:29some great feedback yesterday
00:37:31and it's even better
00:37:33that I get to put it in writing
00:37:34with my husband.
00:37:36What are you hoping that Rachel
00:37:37and Stephen get out of this?
00:37:39Um, I'm just going to be straight shooting
00:37:41and say Steve-O needs to put on
00:37:43his captain's hat today
00:37:44and run the show.
00:37:47Be the boss for the day.
00:37:48Yeah.
00:37:48Rachel needs to allow Stephen to leave.
00:37:50Yeah, she just sits back
00:37:52and let him run the day,
00:37:53run the show.
00:37:54The goal of me and Alyssa's
00:37:56anonymous letter today
00:37:57to Rachel and Stephen
00:37:58is to hopefully get Stephen
00:38:00to take the lead
00:38:01so that they can get closer together,
00:38:03can get intimate.
00:38:04And then I feel like,
00:38:06oh my gosh,
00:38:07this is my brain now.
00:38:10What?
00:38:11Is there something, Rachel?
00:38:12I don't think Stephen's
00:38:13going to want to do this,
00:38:14but it's an idea.
00:38:15Davo and I have
00:38:16the surprise for Stephen.
00:38:18He's going to die.
00:38:19I'm so excited for Rachel.
00:38:21She's going to love
00:38:21this task today.
00:38:25This is the golden product.
00:38:28Because it's about time
00:38:29we cracked the whip on Stephen
00:38:30and I feel like the task
00:38:32we've given him today
00:38:33is a really good one.
00:38:34It's going to make Rachel
00:38:34feel special
00:38:35and he'll feel good about it.
00:38:37We've got to seal the deal, babe.
00:38:38Seal the deal, all right?
00:38:39We're going to fold it up.
00:38:40Oh, you're going to kiss it.
00:38:41Okay, ready?
00:38:42Are you going to headbutt it?
00:38:44We're going to headbutt it.
00:38:46Mwah!
00:38:47Great.
00:38:48Wait.
00:38:49You've got to put some...
00:38:50Oh, my God.
00:38:51It looks so beautiful in you.
00:38:53F***.
00:38:55Okay.
00:38:56Wrap them together.
00:38:57Give them a kiss.
00:38:58Go on.
00:38:59I don't want my dog.
00:39:01Kiss her like you mean it.
00:39:02God damn it.
00:39:03Kiss her.
00:39:05Hey, Stephen,
00:39:06you better take this seriously.
00:39:08I even had to put on
00:39:09lipstick for you.
00:39:11Like,
00:39:11what more do you want, bro?
00:39:13Get down and dirty
00:39:14with your wife.
00:39:19I don't know.
00:39:27Oh, my.
00:39:36I don't know what this is.
00:39:39What do you know?
00:39:40There's a piece of paper
00:39:41with some red markings on
00:39:44and an interesting-looking instrument.
00:39:46What do you mean,
00:39:47an interesting-looking instrument?
00:39:49Well,
00:39:50I've been around the block
00:39:52a few times
00:39:52and I believe I've seen
00:39:54these things before.
00:39:56This is not what I think
00:39:57it is, is it?
00:39:58It's an actual lipstick, babe.
00:40:00I thought this was a sex toy
00:40:02for a minute there.
00:40:04Why do they have to
00:40:04shape it like that for?
00:40:09Um,
00:40:10Rachel and Steve-o.
00:40:12It's Alyssa.
00:40:14You reckon it is?
00:40:15Yeah, it's Alyssa.
00:40:17She's the only one
00:40:17who calls me Rachel.
00:40:19She's so cute.
00:40:20Oh, my gosh.
00:40:20I don't know.
00:40:21Okay.
00:40:22Rachel and Steve-o.
00:40:24Hey, guys.
00:40:26It's your secret admirers
00:40:27who have been watching
00:40:28and observing your relationship
00:40:30from the beginning.
00:40:31Your connection is undeniable
00:40:33and we can see you guys
00:40:35taking the experiment
00:40:36out into the real world.
00:40:39Rachel,
00:40:40it's your turn.
00:40:42It's time to be
00:40:43a passenger princess.
00:40:46It's time to let Steve-o
00:40:48put his captain hat on
00:40:50and lead for the day.
00:40:51Also,
00:40:52your task is
00:40:53to give Rachel
00:40:5420 kisses.
00:40:57The red lipstick
00:40:59needs to be used,
00:41:01Steve-o,
00:41:02so Rachel
00:41:03can count her kisses.
00:41:06This is for you, babes.
00:41:09This lipstick.
00:41:11For me.
00:41:13Kind of wish
00:41:14it was a vibrator now.
00:41:17At least it smells alright.
00:41:18Well, you're not
00:41:18doing that right now.
00:41:19No, I'm not.
00:41:23That's for Rachel and Steve-o time.
00:41:25This is a really great opportunity
00:41:27for us to
00:41:27progress our intimacy.
00:41:29So I want it to be,
00:41:31I would like Stephen and I
00:41:32to do this in a private setting
00:41:34because I want it
00:41:35to be taken seriously.
00:41:36I want this to be
00:41:37a really nice,
00:41:39romantic,
00:41:40intimate moment.
00:41:42That's just for us.
00:41:43Yeah.
00:41:44I actually think
00:41:45it's a really
00:41:46respectful task.
00:41:48I'm really happy
00:41:49for Stephen
00:41:50to take the lead
00:41:50and Alyssa
00:41:52knows that I want
00:41:53that from him
00:41:53but she also
00:41:54knows her girl
00:41:55pretty well.
00:41:56Like,
00:41:57I will very easily
00:41:59fall into
00:41:59like,
00:42:00taking the lead.
00:42:01Okay, let's do this,
00:42:01let's do that.
00:42:02Like, you know,
00:42:03so I feel like
00:42:05both tasks
00:42:06are really good.
00:42:08It's all you, boo.
00:42:11It's all you.
00:42:14Ay-yi-yi.
00:42:19Still to come.
00:42:23Are you making me
00:42:23a microwave meal?
00:42:26Stephen takes the lead
00:42:28with Rachel.
00:42:28I kind of went heavy
00:42:29on the cheese.
00:42:30Oh, well that's
00:42:31not a bad thing.
00:42:32Only the best
00:42:32for my wife.
00:42:35And
00:42:36has the shine
00:42:37of your relationship
00:42:40dimmed.
00:42:41Here, let me read it.
00:42:41Dimmed.
00:42:42It's alright, yep.
00:42:43No thanks.
00:42:47Bye.
00:42:48It all becomes
00:42:49too much for Gia.
00:42:50Let's just get through this.
00:42:51Oh, I want to get
00:42:52out of here, man.
00:42:55Gia wants to leave.
00:43:07It's Gia and Scott's turn
00:43:09to write the anonymous letter
00:43:11to Alyssa and David.
00:43:13And after refusing
00:43:15to participate
00:43:15in the partner swap task,
00:43:17Gia's mood
00:43:18hasn't improved.
00:43:20We can start, um,
00:43:24getting our hands to work
00:43:25and start writing.
00:43:30Feedback week has been
00:43:31tough for us.
00:43:33We had an argument
00:43:34this week and we were
00:43:35feeling a little bit
00:43:36off each other.
00:43:38Yesterday's task
00:43:39was an ideal.
00:43:40I didn't end up
00:43:40going on the task
00:43:41on the feedback meeting
00:43:42because I just
00:43:43didn't want to.
00:43:45So, I just want
00:43:46to get my letter done
00:43:47and I'm ready for this
00:43:49week to be over
00:43:49to be honest.
00:43:51I'd say positives
00:43:52is how Dave's
00:43:55very understanding
00:43:58come and collective
00:43:58is good to lean on.
00:43:59So, just say
00:44:01one positive at a time.
00:44:02Um, understanding.
00:44:04Um, Dave is understanding.
00:44:06Yeah.
00:44:06He's, um...
00:44:07Not all about him.
00:44:08We're going to do
00:44:09one for her now.
00:44:10Oh, yeah.
00:44:11She brings the energy
00:44:12into their relationship.
00:44:14So, that's how they match
00:44:16into this even level, like...
00:44:17Okay, negatives.
00:44:20Um, can David
00:44:22long-term handle
00:44:23and sustain Alyssa's
00:44:24energy?
00:44:26And also, um,
00:44:27Alyssa needs to give
00:44:28more reassurance.
00:44:29Yeah, well, I'll get
00:44:30to that.
00:44:32So, the energy
00:44:33is a bit low.
00:44:34I think she's just
00:44:35really on the edge
00:44:36of just...
00:44:37Yeah.
00:44:38I think all the tasks
00:44:39we've had this week,
00:44:41it's just...
00:44:42She doesn't want
00:44:42to do them.
00:44:44Is David the type
00:44:46that can always be up
00:44:47for Alyssa's challenges?
00:44:49Well,
00:44:50no,
00:44:50just no.
00:44:55There's one thing
00:44:56that...
00:44:56Yeah, hold on,
00:44:56hold on, hold on.
00:44:57God, I'm just trying to help.
00:44:59I'm trying to think.
00:44:59Hold on, David.
00:45:00I shouldn't be
00:45:01in the room.
00:45:04Um...
00:45:04Yeah, like,
00:45:05whatever I say
00:45:06doesn't matter.
00:45:08A suggestion
00:45:09they can work on
00:45:10or a task.
00:45:11What's a task, then?
00:45:13Something different?
00:45:13I don't know, Scott.
00:45:14I have no idea.
00:45:14Like, I can't...
00:45:15I'm sorry.
00:45:24Feedback week
00:45:24really getting to you, babe.
00:45:26You've got all this
00:45:26tension built up
00:45:27in your traps.
00:45:32Oh, you're kidding.
00:45:33I'll go.
00:45:34I'll go.
00:45:35You chill?
00:45:36Okay.
00:45:37I'm so excited
00:45:38to get feedback.
00:45:39I always think that
00:45:40any feedback is good,
00:45:42even if it's from someone
00:45:43that, you know,
00:45:44you don't even really
00:45:45want to receive feedback from.
00:45:47So, I'm hoping
00:45:48there's some golden nuggets
00:45:49in there.
00:45:51David and Alyssa.
00:45:52Oh, wow.
00:45:53All right.
00:45:54Let's read it.
00:45:57Dear David and Alyssa,
00:45:58we think you two
00:45:59are a really strong couple.
00:46:01David, you are calm,
00:46:02collected, and understanding.
00:46:03Alyssa, you bring so much energy
00:46:05and fun into the relationship.
00:46:07However,
00:46:09David has mentioned
00:46:10that in this relationship
00:46:11he needs more reassurance.
00:46:13Alyssa, we think that's something
00:46:14that you could work on.
00:46:15David, we know you love
00:46:17Alyssa's energy,
00:46:17but do you think long-term
00:46:19you can handle it?
00:46:21Our task,
00:46:22we are giving you
00:46:23that you both write
00:46:24an open and honest letter
00:46:25with one another
00:46:26discussing the things
00:46:27written in this letter.
00:46:31I don't...
00:46:32That does not make sense.
00:46:33That makes no sense.
00:46:34Hang on.
00:46:37They honestly just want us
00:46:38to write a letter
00:46:39about a letter
00:46:40that they've just given us.
00:46:41They want us to write
00:46:42a letter about a letter.
00:46:45A letter about the letter
00:46:46with the things
00:46:47that are in this letter.
00:46:50That's...
00:46:55It's all slanted
00:46:56and it's not straight.
00:47:00Okay.
00:47:00It's Gia and Scott.
00:47:01Gia and Scott, for sure.
00:47:02David and I believe
00:47:03that Gia and Scott
00:47:04wrote our letter today.
00:47:06That is definitely
00:47:07Gia's handwriting
00:47:07and that is definitely
00:47:09Gia to the T.
00:47:11It was a lazy effort.
00:47:12They didn't even think
00:47:12outside the box.
00:47:13Yeah.
00:47:13I would like something
00:47:15fun or something
00:47:16to spice things up
00:47:18or, you know,
00:47:19make us connect.
00:47:20What we did for Rachel
00:47:22and Stephen was fun.
00:47:23That was fun.
00:47:24That was nice
00:47:24and well thought of.
00:47:28It's kind of killed my buzz.
00:47:31The fact that Gia
00:47:32has been putting
00:47:33all this effort in recently
00:47:34to build back some trust
00:47:36and a friendship with me
00:47:38and the fact that
00:47:39she only put
00:47:39not much energy
00:47:40into that letter,
00:47:41that feedback letter,
00:47:43just goes to show
00:47:44that she's obviously
00:47:45not invested
00:47:45in this friendship
00:47:47or David and I's relationship
00:47:49and it goes for Scotty too.
00:47:54What do you want
00:47:54to do about that?
00:47:55Do you want to write
00:47:56a letter to each other
00:47:56or do you want
00:47:57to take a pass?
00:47:59I'll be honest
00:47:59and say we'll just
00:48:00take a pass.
00:48:01Me too.
00:48:02Yeah, there's no point.
00:48:04I feel like me
00:48:05and Alyssa
00:48:05not taking part
00:48:06in this letter's task
00:48:08and doing something
00:48:09ourselves
00:48:10will actually bring
00:48:11us closer together
00:48:12than this letter
00:48:13ever will.
00:48:14In fact,
00:48:15I mean,
00:48:15is Joel
00:48:16anywhere around?
00:48:17Because I think
00:48:17Teddy might give
00:48:18me and Alyssa
00:48:19way better feedback
00:48:20on our relationship.
00:48:21Put it in the bin.
00:48:23Yeah, literally.
00:48:25Might as well...
00:48:26He just stole the paper.
00:48:30Sorry,
00:48:31we don't want
00:48:31to waste the trees.
00:48:37Oh, that was probably
00:48:38not my glamorous moment.
00:48:45And down the hall,
00:48:47armed with a strict task
00:48:49to take the lead,
00:48:50Stephen has taken it
00:48:52upon himself
00:48:52to plan a romantic date.
00:48:55How you going over there,
00:48:56babe?
00:48:56Good.
00:48:57And is pulling out
00:48:58all of the stops.
00:49:00All right.
00:49:03Don't you look
00:49:04at what I'm doing.
00:49:06Oh, look,
00:49:07I'm a little bit
00:49:08of a hopeless romantic
00:49:09sick and a little bit
00:49:09of a dope
00:49:10with this
00:49:11taking the lead thing.
00:49:14So,
00:49:14how are you feeling,
00:49:15passenger queen?
00:49:16Excited for
00:49:17one of my
00:49:18old,
00:49:18ancient recipes.
00:49:21I'm intrigued.
00:49:30You know what?
00:49:30Screw it.
00:49:32Are you making me
00:49:33a microwave meal?
00:49:34Only the best
00:49:35for my wife.
00:49:39Damn it.
00:49:41You just sit
00:49:42tight there and...
00:49:44Keep looking
00:49:44at the wall?
00:49:45Yeah,
00:49:45I'm almost ready.
00:49:48Pro tip
00:49:49from Steve-o.
00:49:51There's
00:49:51two ways
00:49:52to a woman's heart.
00:49:54Either it's
00:49:55chocolate
00:49:55or cheese.
00:49:58I may well...
00:50:00You know what?
00:50:01The thought is there.
00:50:02What did you make?
00:50:04I kind of went
00:50:04heavy on the cheese.
00:50:06Oh,
00:50:06well,
00:50:06that's not a bad thing.
00:50:11I thought
00:50:11quick evening nachos.
00:50:15Cute!
00:50:16Yeah,
00:50:17the cheese
00:50:17kind of fell out.
00:50:18I love it.
00:50:22He made me
00:50:23some really bad nachos
00:50:24and I'm really,
00:50:25really happy about it.
00:50:27I just think
00:50:28it's really sweet,
00:50:29you know?
00:50:30It's something
00:50:30so simple
00:50:31and so sweet.
00:50:32No one makes
00:50:33nachos like me
00:50:34though,
00:50:34do they?
00:50:36No.
00:50:37And maybe
00:50:38they shouldn't.
00:50:49Don't judge
00:50:50the nachos
00:50:51just because
00:50:51they look sad.
00:50:52They were still
00:50:53delicious.
00:50:53Made with love.
00:50:54My love.
00:50:56thought this
00:50:57can be like
00:50:57a little sample
00:50:58of what's to come.
00:50:59It's me trying
00:50:59to take the lead.
00:51:00I know I murdered
00:51:01the nachos
00:51:01but I actually
00:51:02do want to
00:51:03take you out
00:51:03on a proper day
00:51:05and not just
00:51:06be in the apartment.
00:51:07I'm excited,
00:51:08you know,
00:51:09by you taking
00:51:10the lead.
00:51:11It means a lot
00:51:12to me
00:51:13when you do
00:51:14so I'm very excited.
00:51:15Oh,
00:51:16good.
00:51:16It seems that
00:51:17this is only a taste
00:51:18taking the lead.
00:51:19It's only a taste.
00:51:20It's only a dibble.
00:51:22Just the fact
00:51:22that he's organising
00:51:23a day
00:51:24and thinking
00:51:25about me
00:51:25it just
00:51:26excites me
00:51:26because it
00:51:28reminds you
00:51:29that you
00:51:30are appreciated.
00:51:32Want a nacho kiss?
00:51:34Yeah,
00:51:34why not?
00:51:38Tasty.
00:51:40These things are
00:51:41a bit
00:51:42a serious topic
00:51:43in our relationship
00:51:44but fun
00:51:45and playfulness
00:51:46is actually

00:51:54anyway.
00:51:55I know I'm a bit
00:51:56of a dork but
00:51:57I like it.
00:52:08As Gia and Scott
00:52:10await their
00:52:10anonymous feedback letter,
00:52:12Gia's mood
00:52:13has only worsened.
00:52:15Can you please
00:52:16not do that
00:52:17right near me
00:52:17right now
00:52:17with the floss?
00:52:19It's going to
00:52:19send me into a rage.
00:52:24Um.
00:52:34The energy
00:52:35is
00:52:38like at the moment
00:52:39yeah,
00:52:39it's a little bit
00:52:40tiring.
00:52:43But I care about her
00:52:44and I want this
00:52:45to work
00:52:45because I don't
00:52:46want to have
00:52:46any more
00:52:47conflict or
00:52:47strainer
00:52:48relationship
00:52:49so I'm trying
00:52:50to help
00:52:50as much as
00:52:50possible
00:52:51to get through
00:52:51it.
00:52:52There's only
00:52:53so much
00:52:53I can do.
00:52:56Can you read it?
00:52:58Can I?
00:52:59Yeah.
00:52:59Do you want it?
00:53:01Well, it's long.
00:53:02Jesus.
00:53:04Give it to me.
00:53:05Give it to me.
00:53:09Give it to me.
00:53:19Can you read it?
00:53:21F*** this.
00:53:27You can read it.
00:53:34Dear Scott and Gia,
00:53:36it's been great to see
00:53:37how your marriage
00:53:38and connection
00:53:38has flourished
00:53:39in this experiment.
00:53:40From the outside
00:53:41looking in,
00:53:41we see that you have
00:53:42a great physical
00:53:43connection
00:53:43and physical intimacy.
00:53:45You're both committed
00:53:47and united.
00:53:48This is a great
00:53:49foundation for you
00:53:50for a long-lasting
00:53:51marriage.
00:53:53But Gia,
00:53:54do you take notice
00:53:55as to how much
00:53:56effort
00:53:57reassurance Scott
00:53:58gives you?
00:53:59Do you give
00:54:00the same reassurance
00:54:01to Scott?
00:54:02Another thing
00:54:03to consider
00:54:04has the shine
00:54:05of your relationship
00:54:08dimmed.
00:54:08Here,
00:54:09let me read it.
00:54:09It's all right.
00:54:10Yep.
00:54:11It's all right.
00:54:11I'm just trying to read it.
00:54:13Another thing
00:54:13to consider
00:54:14has the shine
00:54:14of your relationship
00:54:17Yeah,
00:54:17they've written it wrong.
00:54:18Has the shine
00:54:19of your relationship
00:54:19has been dimmed
00:54:21by external distractions.
00:54:24Our suggestion
00:54:24would be Gia,
00:54:25fully remove yourself
00:54:26from group chats
00:54:27or the gossip
00:54:27and so-called drama
00:54:28and just 100%
00:54:29focus on your relationship.
00:54:30I have Beck.
00:54:31Don't worry about it.
00:54:31Don't worry about that.
00:54:33This will totally
00:54:34block out any
00:54:34unwanted distractions,
00:54:35need for external validation,
00:54:37hopefully the need
00:54:38for drama.
00:54:40Focus on the emotional
00:54:41connection.
00:54:42We challenge both of you
00:54:43to withhold
00:54:44physical intimacy
00:54:45for 10 days.
00:54:47To hold physical intimacy?
00:54:49To not have sex
00:54:49for 10 days.
00:54:51No.
00:54:52No.
00:54:53I thought the letter
00:54:53was stupid.
00:54:54I didn't get anything
00:54:55good from that.
00:54:57It would have been better
00:54:58if they gave us
00:54:58actual advice
00:54:59that was based on facts.
00:55:01It was just stupid
00:55:02and pointless.
00:55:03I'm like,
00:55:05no physical touch
00:55:06for 10 days.
00:55:06If we're moving
00:55:07towards final vows
00:55:08and I'm going to move
00:55:08into state for this man,
00:55:09I'm not going to not
00:55:10touch him for 10 days.
00:55:11I just think that's
00:55:11just stupid advice.
00:55:13And, yeah,
00:55:14I'm not going to take it.
00:55:17We're not going to not be physical
00:55:19because that's healthy
00:55:21in a relationship.
00:55:22That's not good advice.
00:55:23And also,
00:55:24I'm not part of any group chats.
00:55:26I was only ever
00:55:27in a group chat with Bec
00:55:28and I don't think
00:55:29Bec would write that
00:55:29because she knows
00:55:30I'm not in it.
00:55:30So now I'm like,
00:55:31who was that?
00:55:32How do you think
00:55:33that the letter went down?
00:55:34I just think that
00:55:35she and Scott
00:55:35are just cackling
00:55:36to themselves.
00:55:39It's someone
00:55:40who doesn't know us well.
00:55:42It's someone
00:55:42who doesn't know us well.
00:55:44I have no idea
00:55:44who wrote it.
00:55:46I thought it was Bec
00:55:47initially because
00:55:48the way that it was
00:55:49written,
00:55:49it seemed a bit harsh
00:55:51and a bit like
00:55:52something that she might
00:55:53say to try and piss me off.
00:55:55But if it was Bec,
00:55:56she'd know I'm not
00:55:57in any group chats anymore.
00:55:58So, yeah,
00:56:00I have no idea who it is.
00:56:01I mean,
00:56:02it could very well be her
00:56:03and she's trying
00:56:03to push my buttons.
00:56:04I have no idea.
00:56:04But I'm not going to sit here
00:56:05and conspire all day.
00:56:06No idea.
00:56:08I didn't get anything
00:56:09out of that.
00:56:11Well, it wasn't useful,
00:56:12really.
00:56:12Did you take anything
00:56:13from it?
00:56:14Mine's just more
00:56:16covering what they've
00:56:16said a bit more
00:56:17in terms of the detox
00:56:19and removing ourselves
00:56:20from trouble.
00:56:20We've already spoken
00:56:20about that,
00:56:21so it's something
00:56:21that I find
00:56:23would help us the most.
00:56:24I just don't want
00:56:25to be involved
00:56:25in anyone's shit anymore.
00:56:26That's it.
00:56:27Because I find
00:56:28when everything else...
00:56:29Yeah, but we've said that.
00:56:29We've done that.
00:56:32Anyway, this letter can...
00:56:33I won't make the envelope
00:56:35because it's cute.
00:56:36No thanks.
00:56:40Bye.
00:56:42Don't care.
00:56:45Whoever it is,
00:56:46you don't know us.
00:56:49I think today,
00:56:49Gia was not open
00:56:51to feedback whatsoever.
00:56:52She's not interested.
00:56:53She has no interest
00:56:54in what anyone has to say.
00:56:57For me,
00:56:58I, like,
00:56:59take everything
00:57:00with a grain of salt.
00:57:00And how the letter
00:57:01was describing,
00:57:02I could see it.
00:57:03But for me,
00:57:05I didn't say too much
00:57:06because I know
00:57:07if I'm going to say something,
00:57:09Gia's not going
00:57:10to respond well.
00:57:11So,
00:57:12I feel backed off.
00:57:13I feel like I can't really
00:57:13talk much lately to her.
00:57:14I said, yeah,
00:57:15that does suck
00:57:15and I should be able
00:57:16to speak in my feelings
00:57:17and show all that.
00:57:18But I feel,
00:57:20yeah,
00:57:20I think this is a part
00:57:21of what's starting
00:57:22to affect the relationship.
00:57:23I feel like I'm starting
00:57:24to not be able
00:57:25to get my point
00:57:26out there
00:57:26because I know
00:57:27if I speak,
00:57:28she'll probably
00:57:29just start defending.
00:57:31She's a very passionate woman.
00:57:33She's fiery
00:57:34and I know
00:57:35it can come out
00:57:35a bad way
00:57:36and sometimes I think
00:57:37it shouldn't.
00:57:39So,
00:57:40that's one thing
00:57:40I need to either adjust to
00:57:41or be able to have
00:57:42a conversation with her
00:57:43without her
00:57:44taking offense to it.
00:57:46But right now,
00:57:47I can't.
00:57:50Yeah.
00:57:52That's pretty much it.
00:57:54Well, it is it.
00:57:55The bloody letter's torn.
00:58:07After a disappointing
00:58:09honesty box challenge,
00:58:11Danny wants to apologize
00:58:13for upsetting Beck
00:58:14by creating
00:58:15a romantic surprise
00:58:17for her.
00:58:18Obviously,
00:58:19I've been dubbed
00:58:19the king of romance
00:58:20before.
00:58:21They call me Romeo
00:58:23in a past life.
00:58:24So,
00:58:25I've been reborn.
00:58:26I'm back in the 21st century
00:58:28but not much has changed.
00:58:30So,
00:58:31I'm still
00:58:31the king of romance.
00:58:46Hello, sweetheart.
00:58:47Hello, Pat.
00:58:48I've got you these.
00:58:49Thanks, babe.
00:58:50That one's a bit wet
00:58:51because it's been in my mouth.
00:58:54So,
00:58:54I'm going to lead you
00:58:55I'm going to lead you the way.
00:58:57Turn around.
00:58:58Come this way.
00:59:00First stop.
00:59:01Don't look at the notes.
00:59:02Okay.
00:59:02First stop.
00:59:03What does this one
00:59:04on the table say?
00:59:06Enjoy a glass of bread.
00:59:07No problem.
00:59:08You're so cute.
00:59:11She's obviously been upset
00:59:12because I didn't take
00:59:13the box task serious.
00:59:15But,
00:59:16I didn't really know
00:59:17how to react.
00:59:18Talking about my feelings
00:59:19is so,
00:59:20so hard for me.
00:59:21So,
00:59:22there we go.
00:59:23Bye.
00:59:24Here's a glass.
00:59:25Thanks, baby.
00:59:27Maybe in hindsight
00:59:28I could have worded things
00:59:29different
00:59:30or said things different
00:59:31but I was trying to just
00:59:31be as truthful as I could.
00:59:33Also,
00:59:34I want to apologise
00:59:34for upsetting her
00:59:36because I don't
00:59:36ever want to upset her.
00:59:38So,
00:59:39what I'd done for Bec
00:59:40was post-it notes
00:59:41around the place
00:59:42with compliments
00:59:43and things I like about her
00:59:45and just so
00:59:46she knows how I feel
00:59:47about her essentially.
00:59:49There we go.
00:59:51Oh, babe.
00:59:51I'm going to lead you
00:59:52around the room.
00:59:53I want,
00:59:53I want you to read
00:59:54these out loud
00:59:54because I don't give you
00:59:55enough compliments
00:59:56so I'll give you
00:59:58awesome notes.
01:00:00I love being married to you.
01:00:02You're an amazing wife.
01:00:03Thanks, babe.
01:00:06You looked amazing
01:00:07in the French maid outfit.
01:00:10I heard someone
01:00:12ordered a French maid
01:00:12to clean this place up.
01:00:15I don't know
01:00:16if I ever told you
01:00:17so I was like
01:00:17You didn't.
01:00:18I should write it down.
01:00:19Thanks, baby.
01:00:20Sometimes I don't say it
01:00:22but I'm thinking it
01:00:22so that's what
01:00:23these notes are for.
01:00:24Oh, my God.
01:00:25I don't feel like
01:00:25I deserve this.
01:00:28Oh, yeah.
01:00:29That's a nice one
01:00:30to end it on as well.
01:00:31I've given a softer side
01:00:32to you
01:00:33than I've ever
01:00:33given any longer
01:00:34than I've ever given
01:00:35any longer than I've ever given.
01:00:36Have you?
01:00:36Yeah.
01:00:39Thanks.
01:00:41He was so cute.
01:00:43The notes just mean
01:00:45like everything.
01:00:47To hear he loves
01:00:48being married to me
01:00:49and also
01:00:51I'm serious
01:00:52about us
01:00:53and our relationship.
01:00:54It's everything
01:00:55you want to hear.
01:00:57It's nice, isn't it?
01:00:59It's so cute.
01:01:03I just like
01:01:04hearing them
01:01:04and reading them
01:01:05is just like
01:01:06it makes me feel
01:01:07really good.
01:01:09Sometimes I need
01:01:10to hear this.
01:01:11Yeah, I know.
01:01:11That's why I've done it.
01:01:12Yeah.
01:01:14Sometimes when he jokes
01:01:15in the tasks
01:01:16and stuff
01:01:16I'm like
01:01:17it
01:01:17it
01:01:18hurts
01:01:20because
01:01:20Danny doesn't
01:01:22articulate
01:01:22his feelings.
01:01:24so
01:01:24I've been
01:01:25questioning him
01:01:26and
01:01:27if I had
01:01:28told him
01:01:28that I loved
01:01:29him too soon
01:01:30because
01:01:30he's not
01:01:31said it back
01:01:32but
01:01:33then he does
01:01:34things like this
01:01:35for me
01:01:35and it's just like
01:01:36it reminds me
