00:00:01Do you see me as the mother-father of your children? Yes, I do see as a father
00:00:05of 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 setting tasks 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
00:00:25defensive of having a conversation. Tensions were at an all-time high.
00:00:29I'm not doing it. No thanks. It was just... As Scott avoided any critical feedback, opting
00:00:39to keep the peace in his marriage. I knew if I went too deep, I'd be over the balcony.
00:00:47You're absolutely pissing me off. Danny struggled to give Bec a straight answer.
00:00:52Do you think you will fall in love with me and why? At the dinner party...
00:00:58After weeks of being caught in the crossfire... Oh, God.
00:01:03Alyssa tried to put a full stop to the feud between Gia and Bec.
00:01:07Stop using me!
00:01:09Stop using me as a pawn.
00:01:11And Bec and Danny spiralled. I want you to be wary about what you text people.
00:01:16Two months ago, Daniel. It was ten years ago. I want out now.
00:01:20I'm wasting my time at a dinner party talking about abusive text messages. I'm here for a
00:01:25wife and a relationship. I'm not here for drama.
00:01:27I'm like, do not sit there in front of everyone and not show solidarity to me.
00:01:32Just pretend for two minutes.
00:01:37Tonight, it's the second last commitment ceremony.
00:01:41You ask the question of like, all right, if we go outside of the experiment, how quick would you
00:01:44expect like a proposal?
00:01:46I say the sooner the better.
00:01:48Wow.
00:01:48And some are already locking in plans for married life outside of the experiment.
00:01:54The man is leaving and he is actually starting to show me what my life here in Sydney could look
00:01:59like.
00:02:00And then...
00:02:01So last week you said that the noise from the group and around Gia doesn't affect your relationship.
00:02:08Do you still believe that?
00:02:10Will Scott speak up and confess how he feels in front of Gia?
00:02:15I will admit like...
00:02:20The question, what was it like, it was a bit...
00:02:22Could you see yourself falling in love with me?
00:02:25Why is Danny dodging the question?
00:02:29Um...
00:02:33In one of the most confronting couch sessions ever seen.
00:02:39It's a pretty black and white question.
00:02:44Before the blind side...
00:02:49That will leave the room speechless.
00:02:52I just can't believe it.
00:03:08It's the morning of the second last commitment ceremony of the experiment.
00:03:13And despite a tense ending to last night's dinner party, one couple continued to shine bright.
00:03:23Good morning.
00:03:24Morning.
00:03:26It's the long black.
00:03:28Hopefully you don't burn the roof of your mouth.
00:03:29No, she'll be fine.
00:03:30You know?
00:03:31Last night for Stella and I, yeah, it was great.
00:03:34We were just sitting there, united, chilling out, smooshing whilst the drama's happening.
00:03:39We tend to do that when people are kicking off.
00:03:41We're just kissing each other.
00:03:43And 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.
00:03:49I doubt it, but I'm very, very hopeful.
00:03:52I'm very hopeful.
00:03:52Some people cannot help themselves.
00:03:55I see the blokes like Danny and Scott, and they're just ready to not talk about high school
00:04:01shit.
00:04:03Like, Scott is not his usual self.
00:04:05He was just...
00:04:06His light was dimmed.
00:04:08He was just not there.
00:04:09He's dimmed, yeah, he's dimmed at the moment.
00:04:11He's just not there.
00:04:12Danny as well, definitely.
00:04:13Yeah.
00:04:14I always look at him and he's just so withdrawn and just...
00:04:16They dissociate.
00:04:17They just dissociate and they just go to another realm.
00:04:20They just leave the place.
00:04:21They're just like this.
00:04:22Yeah.
00:04:25I just wish that people like Becca and Jia can stop saying sorry and just don't do it.
00:04:32From now on.
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.
00:04:47While our couples are putting on the final touches for tonight's commitment ceremony,
00:04:53one participant who is not looking forward to seeing the experts is Jia.
00:04:58Last one I walked out, I don't like commitment ceremonies.
00:05:02One bit because I hate being vulnerable and talking about my feelings and
00:05:06Commitment ceremonies don't go great for me all the time.
00:05:09Last week, I feel like I was getting in so much trouble for the screenshots.
00:05:13They didn't at all question Beck.
00:05:15It 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
00:05:27in those screenshots Beck 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.
00:05:33Feedback week, also why'd you walk out, which it'll just be a discussion of that.
00:05:37Yeah.
00:05:38I adore and I really am falling for Jia, but like this whole experiment has been very tough
00:05:45in regards to 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 a problem
00:05:57and I'm going to 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,
00:06:13who had a tense argument at the 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 at
00:06:25dinner parties.
00:06:26I just want you to be wary about what you say.
00:06:30I'm very wary.
00:06:31I want you to be wary about what you text people.
00:06:35I'm done.
00:06:36I'm not going back in.
00:06:37I'm done.
00:06:38He says, oh, we're right or die.
00:06:40We're right or die.
00:06:41We're not.
00:06:42Just 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.
00:06:58There's so much love and adoration within this relationship.
00:07:03We had like a tiny little bit of crosswords last night.
00:07:06Danny sort of had a little wibble wobble.
00:07:08He was like, I'm so good at the drama.
00:07:10And at the end of the day, we've actually come out on top, you know?
00:07:13Even though it's kind of crappy for a little while, we always come back together, talk about it,
00:07:22and end up with a better understanding of each other and in a stronger place in our relationship.
00:07:28Do you agree?
00:07:29Hmm.
00:07:29I became a girlfriend as well.
00:07:31Still happy with that decision, boo?
00:07:33Still happy with the decision.
00:07:35I feel great.
00:07:36I feel absolutely fantastic.
00:07:37Like, I'm not only a wife, I'm a girlfriend.
00:07:39And I know that everything's hunky-dory.
00:07:42Me telling you at the commitment ceremony that I love you,
00:07:46and obviously, I'm in my own head as well, because it's like,
00:07:50shit, 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.
00:07:59Feedback week, Danny, how's it been?
00:08:01Been an all right week, to be honest.
00:08:03Like, all right is how I describe it.
00:08:05Not amazing, just all right.
00:08:07Obviously, the question task, 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.
00:08:20I'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
00:08:32than I have to her.
00:08:34Up until last week, when she told me she loved me,
00:08:36I didn't realize she was feeling that strongly towards me.
00:08:38She'd never even told me, like, little soft things to, like, soften it.
00:08:43It was just like, that come out of nowhere.
00:08:46That'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.
00:09:01I love you.
00:09:03No!
00:09:07CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
00:09:07CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
00:09:09Seriously.
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. It'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 mean.
00:09:31Because of constant drama with Beck.
00:09:34So, yeah, that's probably one of the things,
00:09:36the main reason that's holding me back.
00:09:40MUSIC
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.
00:10:25Settle in.
00:10:30Well, greetings, everyone, to the second-last commitment ceremony.
00:10:35We are very much nearing the pointy end
00:10:39where you have to size up your relationship
00:10:42and really drill down on whether or not you can see a future
00:10:47outside of this experiment with the person that you've been matched with.
00:10:53Now 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.
00:11:14This is really a reality check.
00:11:18In 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, but also how each
00:11:37of you gives feedback.
00:11:38So 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.
00:11:52It was actually quite shocking to see some of the behaviours that 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.
00:12:05Jira and Scott.
00:12:10Good 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.
00:12:29Because we didn't get a chance to talk to you about that.
00:12:33Because we were talking about your relationship and 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?
00:12:48I was getting in trouble for the screenshots involving Alyssa,
00:12:51but the other person wasn't getting in trouble for what was written in the screenshots.
00:12:55It felt very against me.
00:12:59And I just felt like attacked.
00:13:05And I just felt like it was a bit unfair, to be honest.
00:13:09I just felt like, what about the screen? What was she was saying?
00:13:12Like, just me, me, me.
00:13:13I just cannot.
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.
00:13:36Two parts to this.
00:13:36Which came out at the dinner party last night, the specifics of it.
00:13:43And there's no getting around that.
00:13:45It's abhorrent.
00:13:47Those words, those phrases,
00:13:52towards another member in this experiment,
00:13:56was appalling.
00:14:16What was said in the texts, which came out at the dinner party last night,
00:14:22the specifics of it?
00:14:26And there's no getting around that.
00:14:28It's abhorrent.
00:14:30Those words, those phrases,
00:14:35towards another member in this experiment,
00:14:39was appalling.
00:14:43I 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.
00:15:07That'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.
00:15:31It'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.
00:15:43I know I was wrong.
00:15:45Looking back now, I 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,
00:15:54like that 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, yeah.
00:16:06OK, we 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.
00:16:21But, Gia, one of the things I wanted to ask you was,
00:16:23when you left last week, Scott was sitting here kind of not really knowing what was going on.
00:16:30And I just wondered whether he was featured in your thinking in that moment.
00:16:37I told him before I ran out, I said, I feel sick, I'm going to leave.
00:16:42Scott, how did you feel when you realised Gia had left?
00:16:50Well, at the time, I was sitting there and going to myself, she'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.
00:16:58But then obviously, the only thing I was just a little bit annoyed was just not being told what
00:17:02was going on.
00:17:04Just communication, that's all.
00:17:08But deep down, I knew she didn't run away from me.
00:17:11So, yeah.
00:17:14So last week, you said that the noise around your relationship from 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 we've had in this whole experiment.
00:17:32More so for Gia, she's had a lot to take on herself, not wanting to be here for a few
00:17:39reasons.
00:17:41There's only so much, you know, I'm here to protect her and cater for her and make sure she's okay
00:17:45and give her reassurance, but there was a lot that happened pretty much every day.
00:17:48And I will admit, like, it does make me not be myself.
00:17:58What do you mean?
00:18:00My energy dropped and I just, so I'm just trying to be positive and it's hard sometimes.
00:18:09But feedback week, yeah, it was pretty hard.
00:18:11What was hard about feedback week?
00:18:13Obviously, the commitment ceremony was, you know, I walked out and I wasn't good.
00:18:17You know, that and I just, I was just feeling off, right?
00:18:21So then I get told I have a feedback date and I'm like, oh my God, I can't do this.
00:18:28I cannot put myself in a situation like this again where I'm arguing with somebody.
00:18:32And I'm like, you know what? I 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, you are certainly taken out of your comfort
00:18:46zone, but they're done for a reason.
00:18:49Here we go.
00:18:50It's all right. It's not.
00:18:52Always about everything but our relationship.
00:18:57God, like, how many more times am I going to get, like, attacked?
00:19:02It's not. It's not.
00:19:03That's what the vibe I'm getting.
00:19:04It's not.
00:19:05It's not.
00:19:06I've been apologising.
00:19:08I've been accountable.
00:19:08I've been changing my behaviour.
00:19:10I just feel like the feedback letter, um, I felt like it was an attack on me.
00:19:17The tasks that we received to do, I just found were just like, like not nice.
00:19:24Number one is Gia, remove yourself from any group chats that you're in.
00:19:29Number two, detox from all social media till final vows.
00:19:34Number three, no physical touch for 10 days.
00:19:37And I was like, I took it. This is how I took it. He took it different.
00:19:42I took it as an attack of like, oh my God, like another 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, so I'm not sure why.
00:20:00There's just one thing I like to outlay is like, whether something's negative or bad,
00:20:05or like something you don't want to hear or see, we don't need to hold on to it.
00:20:10Because sometimes I feel it does hurt you in a way deep down where it's got to be said out
00:20:16loud,
00:20:17or people need to know I hate it, or like, sometimes I feel like you hold on to it for,
00:20:20or with a bit of power behind you and 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 and 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, that is, it doesn't matter how bad it is.
00:20:38It's not like we're bad people. People just see what, they have an opinion for it.
00:20:42Your perception though, for me, for my own personal reasons and what I've been through in life,
00:20:48I felt attacked.
00:20:56I walked into this experiment, I said even my audition, I don't like negative stuff.
00:21:00I don't like drama, I don't like any of that, I don't want it in my life.
00:21:03And I know Gia's been involved in some of it and we had an agreement.
00:21:06Can you make a promise to me not involve yourself in drama for the rest of this experiment?
00:21:11There's been a few difficult things inside the experiment and
00:21:15I have to know whether it's the pressure in here or whether this is outside as well.
00:21:21Nothing has really affected me in this experiment, the 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 and be reassured there's not going to be that
00:21:28shit outside of this because I won't tolerate it. That's it.
00:21:32For me, I don't want someone who'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 just common knowledge, I would never do that.
00:21:40That's what I'm saying, 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, it's just what I've seen.
00:21:46Just, 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.
00:21:53Okay.
00:21:54I do nursing, like, I'm a kind person.
00:21:57I would never, but anyway.
00:21:58I'm not saying you're like that, I'm trying to just say what I'm feeling.
00:22:06She's not going to be happy with him saying that, I guarantee you.
00:22:12Scott's just talking about his experience with you, what he's seen.
00:22:17He can only work with what he's seen, and he has seen you rise to the drama.
00:22:22So he's not saying he knows that that's what you're going to do on the outside.
00:22:27He's saying he knows that that's what you have done within the experiment.
00:22:31So surely that's reasonable.
00:22:33Yep.
00:22:38No, we're getting slammed, Chris.
00:22:40Yeah, you're not getting slammed, babe.
00:22:42It's nothing.
00:22:45No, I'm all good.
00:22:46I'm sorry, I'm all good, all good.
00:22:48I don't like to cry, you know, just, I'm fine.
00:22:51Let's just finish this, please, yep.
00:23:11Gia, do you feel secure in this relationship?
00:23:14Yeah.
00:23:16What makes you say that?
00:23:19Because even when I say I'm going to leave, he's like, no, you can't leave.
00:23:23Um, like, when I, like, lose my mind and, like, spiral, he's always there to, like,
00:23:30be positive and try and turn my mood around, and I feel like he's got me.
00:23:35Yeah.
00:23:36And I can feel like, yeah, I feel secure in this relationship.
00:23:39What about you, Scott?
00:23:43Well, the thing is, like, yes, we face these hard things, and we're not perfect people,
00:23:49but I see so many good things about you, and that's why I'm here.
00:23:54Like, you're such a beautiful person.
00:23:56Like, we've had a rough week, but we always come back to each other.
00:23:59So you feel secure in this relationship?
00:24:01100%, yeah, I feel secure.
00:24:03We just have these little hurdles to get through, understand one another,
00:24:06you know, and keep pursuing our life together.
00:24:12All right, well, let's go to the decision.
00:24:15Let's go with you first, Scott.
00:24:18I'm grateful that we're still here together, and then we got through it,
00:24:21and we're still smiling, and I cannot wait for homestays.
00:24:24It's all right to stay, and happy two months to my beautiful wife.
00:24:27Oh, that's cute.
00:24:29Gia, stay or leave?
00:24:31I know I need to work on some things, and I'm committed to doing that,
00:24:35because, like, he's worth it, and 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, so I'm just going to be positive this week
00:24:45and we can move forward, and we're going to be in our swimsuits
00:24:47at the beach on the Gold Coast.
00:24:50So we're going to stay.
00:24:5140s.
00:24:52I've got square boobs.
00:24:53I don't know why, but that's a bikini.
00:24:55That's a bikini.
00:24:56OK, well, I know that that was a very intense session,
00:25:01and it's so important for you guys to not brush things under the carpet.
00:25:06I know, Scott, you've mentioned that you like to look on the bright side of life,
00:25:11move forward as fast as you can, leave the past behind.
00:25:14Problem is, if you do that all the time, you don't address the issues that are there.
00:25:20And rather than saying, it's just going to be OK, forget about it,
00:25:24actually instead go, well, tell me more.
00:25:27And for you, Gia, what's really important is that if there's an issue that comes up from Scott,
00:25:33that you stay with it, rather than look at it as a personal attack.
00:25:37This 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, we can do something different moving forward.
00:25:47That'll help us a lot, to be honest.
00:25:49Because sometimes I want to bring things up and then I get a bit scared,
00:25:53because I don't want you to get the wrong ideas if I'm trying to attack you.
00:25:57It's because I genuinely care and I just want to fix a few little things that'll help both of us.
00:26:02So I really love what you just said.
00:26:05Now with that, have a great week. We'll see you next time.
00:26:08Thanks, guys.
00:26:08Well done, guys.
00:26:09Cheers.
00:26:10Have a great week.
00:26:27Still to come, what has Sam in tears?
00:26:36Do 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.
00:27:01Next up, Rachel and Steven.
00:27:10Hello. Welcome.
00:27:11Hi.
00:27:12Welcome, welcome, welcome.
00:27:13It's nice to see you.
00:27:14Oh, yeah.
00:27:16Yeah.
00:27:16Feedback week.
00:27:17Tell us about feedback week.
00:27:19I actually think feedback week was great for Steven and I.
00:27:24We started off with the first tasks of questions.
00:27:27The question of, you know, saying, can you see yourself falling in love with me at some point?
00:27:33We both had a big resounding yes.
00:27:36And so that was really nice because in terms of the way we view our lives in the future,
00:27:43they very much aligned.
00:27:45And so, yeah, it was really good.
00:27:48It was just a really great task.
00:27:51Feedback week has been, you know, amazing.
00:27:56I got some really good advice from Alyssa of 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.
00:28:08You did have a moment at the dinner party where you stood up to the group
00:28:11and you spoke on behalf of the relationship in such a mature,
00:28:17such a take charge, such a masculine, such a all there kind of way.
00:28:25We were very impressed and we were literally cheering that on.
00:28:29It was a really, really good moment to see Rachel beaming because you were beaming.
00:28:35You were so proud of your man speaking up to the group.
00:28:41Setting those boundaries for the group and for the two of you.
00:28:44Well, I'm going to implement that not just for one day.
00:28:47It's going to be just in the relationship.
00:28:48I've got to put my captain's socks, undies and hat on.
00:28:52And yeah, take a bit of charge and leadership.
00:28:57Captain, I like it.
00:28:59Captain Stevo.
00:29:00I'm going to get a hat for him.
00:29:04How did it feel in the moment to speak to the group the way that you did
00:29:08and to ascertain those boundaries and make yourself be heard so clearly?
00:29:14I know I'm pretty quiet in the dinner parties and I sort of like to keep things to myself
00:29:19because I feel like it's just a little bit easier to keep your mouth closed.
00:29:23In some situations, I guess it was good to, you know, finally be heard.
00:29:30I can imagine so.
00:29:34You guys have really been a bit of a slow burn.
00:29:38But every week we start to see something emerge, the intimacy, the speaking up.
00:29:44There's a lot of change in 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, Stevo, in terms of how you're feeling about this lovely woman?
00:29:59I feel really connected to Rachel.
00:30:01We're getting closer.
00:30:02I feel like, as well, saying to Rachel, I feel like I've come such a long way from
00:30:06the wedding and the ups and downs that we've had.
00:30:09So feeling, yeah, really good.
00:30:12Rachel, for you towards him, what's going on inside of you?
00:30:16So I really like Steven.
00:30:19I've been very clear about that. I'm very connected with Steven.
00:30:23It's just so comfortable to be ourselves and have fun and, you know, it's just amazing.
00:30:29And so I'm at the point now where my man is leaving and he is actually starting to show me
00:30:35what my life here in Sydney could look like.
00:30:41that really shows through your body language is just how close and comfortable you are
00:30:49with one another and loving, dare I say it.
00:30:55Are we reading this correctly? Does it feel comfortable to be sitting like that?
00:30:59Just this is all this is common, you know, in the apartment, you know, it's now you're showing off.
00:31:09So with that in mind, we're going to go to a decision.
00:31:12Let's kick it off with you, Rachel.
00:31:17This is a huge shock, I know, but I've written stay and I put like the sun and like,
00:31:23that's water from our little beach days.
00:31:27And Steve-O.
00:31:29I like where this is going. So why would I do anything else besides stay?
00:31:38Good on you guys. Thank you so much. Well done.
00:31:41Great. Thank you. Thank you so much.
00:31:50High fives.
00:31:51It's a nice one.
00:32:07Our next couple on the couch.
00:32:11Chris and Sam.
00:32:17Hello you two.
00:32:18Howdy.
00:32:19Hi.
00:32:19Hello guys.
00:32:21How we doing?
00:32:23Well, I've got to say, this is a very different energy from the two of you.
00:32:28Not what we're used to at all.
00:32:31So you're like a very different couple right now.
00:32:34Yeah.
00:32:36Do you want to let us in?
00:32:41Chris, you don't look very happy.
00:32:42No, I'm just like, um, like first of all, you asked me a question last week.
00:32:48Are you starting to envision a life outside of the experiment?
00:32:51I thought it was admirable that I was actually thinking after the experiment and I said,
00:32:55perhaps potentially Sam based himself in Sydney.
00:32:57It came from a really good place.
00:33:00But Sam was upset that I didn't consult him before answering the question that you asked me.
00:33:05And then he said to me, 10 minutes prior to the dinner party,
00:33:08your three apologies weren't genuine enough.
00:33:10I'm going to bring it up in front of the group.
00:33:13We could have facilitated that in the apartment in a more private, controlled environment.
00:33:19I feel like I've, um, you know, been dragged through the coals.
00:33:22And I'm just going to go to Sam, because there's something I just want to clarify here.
00:33:26Why was it that you felt the need to bring this up in that group context?
00:33:31I wanted feedback from the group. I can go talk to my friends.
00:33:35You can go talk to your friends and we can try and like, see if we can move past this.
00:33:40Because I just couldn't see getting to a conclusion with just the two of us,
00:33:43because I was just getting shut down. That's why.
00:33:49There are some pretty big lifestyle changes ahead of the two of you.
00:33:55Chris has got children coming. Yeah.
00:33:56You know, Chris has the farm. Yeah.
00:33:59And, you know, clearly life's going to be very much rooted around Chris's existing world.
00:34:05Yeah.
00:34:06And a lot of movement and compromise on your part, Sam.
00:34:10Is this the elephant in the room here for the two of you?
00:34:16Does it feel like it'll be you making all of the sacrifice?
00:34:22I'll be making big moves. Yeah. So 90% of the sacrifice would be on me to like fit into
00:34:28Chris's life,
00:34:28which is fine. Like, I know that. I'm prepared to do that if we fall for each other,
00:34:33but I just didn't want to feel like I had no say in even how that would look.
00:34:39I just feel like there could be a bit more empathy around the fact that there's a lot that I
00:34:43have to
00:34:43change and I would have really liked if you discussed that with me before.
00:34:49How does that sit with you, Chris?
00:34:51Yeah.
00:34:54My answer to you was coming from a good place. That question that you asked me,
00:34:59are you thinking about life outside of this experiment? Which I thought was such a cute question.
00:35:04That question has now like spiralled into something so much bigger than what we had anticipated.
00:35:11And it's, um, put a huge rift between us, obviously. And, um, yeah.
00:35:15Sam, I've been watching you and you look a bit withdrawn.
00:35:22What has all this, do you feel, Sam, done to your relationship?
00:35:27To be honest, like, it's, it's really sad because you guys saw me at the last commitment ceremony.
00:35:32And I even wrote in my journal afterwards that a life with Chris could be magical and amazing.
00:35:37Um, and it's just like taking the feet out from underneath me. Um, yeah, it sucks.
00:35:47Chris, one of the things I said to you, very curious, because essentially you were in a great place a
00:35:54week
00:35:54ago. And then Sam has brought something up gently to just say, you know, I felt a little bit excluded.
00:36:00I thought that would have brought you closer. But in fact, the reaction he got
00:36:08pushes him away rather than brings him close.
00:36:11Yeah.
00:36:13And one of the things I went to is, did you take Sam's reaction as some,
00:36:19something of a rejection?
00:36:24Because what I'm thinking is that your anger was coming from hurt and fear, and it often does.
00:36:32You've taken it very personally. And I want to put that to you.
00:36:36If that's the case, what might that be about?
00:36:42Maybe just unsuccessful relationships, um, in the past, you know, like, yeah, and I have been hurt a lot.
00:36:51He's the thing. He's bringing this conversation up in front of the group,
00:36:58not because he wants to throw you under the bus, but because he wants to be able to talk to
00:37:02you,
00:37:02and he feels like he can't, to the point where he's too scared to bring up a conversation with you,
00:37:08and he needs to take it to a larger group. That has got to get you starting to look at
00:37:15yourself and how
00:37:17you're talking. This is a real moment of truth for you, because a communication style has contributed
00:37:26to the real crisis that you're in now.
00:37:32That doesn't mean that you can't recover. And tonight is one of those absolute key crossroads
00:37:37for you, Chris. Mm-hmm. Yeah.
00:37:45All right, let's go to the decision. Let's go with you first, Chris. Stay or leave?
00:37:51I've been going back and forth the last couple of days, um, and I've actually decided that I
00:37:56need and I want to go put my dad hat on, and I would like to leave.
00:38:17All right, let's go to the decision. Let's go with you first, Chris. Stay or leave?
00:38:21I've been going back and forth the last couple of days, um, and I've actually decided that I need
00:38:27and I want to go put my dad hat on, and I would like to leave.
00:38:43Maybe no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:38:52It's a huge turnaround from last week.
00:38:56Yeah.
00:38:59I just think that I need to concentrate on this next thing
00:39:03that's coming and he's an amazing guy
00:39:06and he'll be amazing for someone.
00:39:07I just don't think it's me for the moment.
00:39:22Sam, what's going on for you right now?
00:39:30I just didn't see that coming. I thought...
00:39:37I thought, you know, this is the first hiccup we've had
00:39:39and we'd both come into this ready to take on feedback
00:39:44and then try and implement that and see if that could help.
00:39:49And it just hurts to be like, you've just given up.
00:39:54Because it got tough for a few days.
00:40:00So, yeah, I just can't believe it.
00:40:05Let's go to your decision then, Sam. What have you got?
00:40:08As much as Chris gave up a lot to be here, I gave up a lot
00:40:10and I wanted to leave here with absolutely no regrets either way.
00:40:15Like, 100% knowing if Chris was the guy for me.
00:40:19Right now, I feel like I would have regrets
00:40:21and I wouldn't know completely if we could have made it work.
00:40:25Like, I was prepared to take on anything you guys had to say
00:40:27and try and put it into work.
00:40:38Well, as you know, in this experiment the rules are
00:40:41if one person says stay and the other person says leave,
00:40:43the couple stays for another week
00:40:46and they work on the relationship.
00:40:50It might seem like a lost cause,
00:40:52but frankly, we see couples absolutely turn things around in one week.
00:41:01But it will require some heavy lifting from the both of you.
00:41:10I mean, the one thing about you two right now
00:41:12is that it's not friendly.
00:41:14So when you think about how you're going to take on this week,
00:41:18to start talking to one another in a respectful way
00:41:21and acting in a considerate way.
00:41:23And from there, you can start to see
00:41:27how it changes your relationship.
00:41:30Let me remind you it was only a week ago
00:41:32that you were loved up on that couch,
00:41:34excited about the future.
00:41:40But with a weenus can come change.
00:41:45And all you've got to do
00:41:46is treat each other in a friendly way.
00:41:52All right.
00:41:53Well, thank you both.
00:41:55Good work tonight.
00:41:56Well done.
00:41:56That was hard.
00:42:05Well done, darlings.
00:42:10Well done, guys.
00:42:15I just need a guy.
00:42:21Okay, our next couple on the couch,
00:42:24Alyssa and David.
00:42:25Oh.
00:42:29Hello, you two.
00:42:30Hello.
00:42:30Hello.
00:42:32Welcome.
00:42:34How was Feedback Week for you guys?
00:42:37So, obviously, Feedback Week started with some receipts from Juliet.
00:42:41From 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, but they were actually really vicious.
00:42:54Yeah.
00:42:55It wasn't okay.
00:42:56It definitely was fresh.
00:42:57It was fresh hurt for David and I.
00:43:00Yeah, look.
00:43:02Seeing those text messages just reopened wounds that 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.
00:43:15Yeah, moving on from that.
00:43:18Feedback Week actually went really well.
00:43:21Because we managed to talk about some things.
00:43:24Yeah, we talked about a plan for when we left the experiment.
00:43:26What that was going to look like, you know.
00:43:28A bit of long distance, maybe.
00:43:30And then figure out, like, if we're moving to maybe Adelaide.
00:43:36So, obviously, you know, getting to an age in the next couple of years, I want to have a family.
00:43:42And I want to be in Adelaide for that.
00:43:45And that was something that I hadn't talked to David about.
00:43:48But he was amazing.
00:43:49He was like, I understand if you need to be with your family and you need extra support, then we're
00:43:53going to move to Adelaide.
00:43:54And I understand raising kids is not an easy task.
00:43:57So, you know, she's obviously got her family there, her mom, and her mom's a legend.
00:44:03Alyssa would be a fantastic mother.
00:44:05She notices everything about me.
00:44:07You know what I'm saying?
00:44:08Like, she helps me a lot.
00:44:10I did say, though, I did say...
00:44:12You did say something.
00:44:13I did say, though, she reminds me of my mother.
00:44:16She might be like, don't wear that shirt.
00:44:18It doesn't, like...
00:44:18It doesn't look good on you.
00:44:20Like, just straight to the point and direct.
00:44:22That's what my mother would do.
00:44:24So, that's what makes me know that she's got deep feelings and she cares.
00:44:27Because, like, she 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.
00:44:36And 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 the strongest we've ever been.
00:44:47Yeah.
00:44:47I would agree.
00:44:48Right now, we are.
00:44:49You definitely are.
00:44:50Yeah.
00:44:50It's great.
00:44:51Brilliant.
00:44:52Let's go to the decision.
00:44:54Alyssa, what'll it be?
00:44:55Well, obviously, we've got an exciting week coming up.
00:44:59Home stay.
00:44:59Home stay.
00:45:00I'm about to convince you that you might like Adelaide, so...
00:45:05Stay.
00:45:05What was that?
00:45:06Fabulous.
00:45:07Show you around.
00:45:11So, I wrote stay.
00:45:13I go to Lil Plains.
00:45:14Oh!
00:45:15Flying Adelaide.
00:45:15Oh, you're getting adventurous with this, love.
00:45:18Yeah, baby.
00:45:18I love it.
00:45:19Ready to go.
00:45:20Yeah.
00:45:21There has been some really tough times for you guys.
00:45:26And you've just turned toward each other, backed each other, and supported each other like a real team.
00:45:32Thanks, guys.
00:45:34Well done.
00:45:44Coming up...
00:45:45Frankly, when I watch you on the couch, you seem uncomfortable.
00:45:49The experts apply the pressure to Danny.
00:45:52If you could do it over again, how would you answer it?
00:45:56I'd just say yes.
00:45:58Yes what?
00:45:59I could see myself wanting in love with you.
00:46:01Yeah.
00:46:01That's as simple as that.
00:46:03And would that be the truth?
00:46:19Our next couple up on the couch, Philip and Stella.
00:46:24Hello.
00:46:28Hello.
00:46:29Hello, hello.
00:46:30Hi.
00:46:31Welcome.
00:46:32Hi.
00:46:33Last week was a little bit tough for you two on the couch.
00:46:37I see such a different energy just walking up to the couch.
00:46:43Um, I really want to thank Mel for her advice.
00:46:47Focus on the emotional safety that he's providing and giving me.
00:46:51And it's such a simple thing when you think, but I, 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 because, um, I think if not the confinements of the experiment,
00:47:04probably would be a different story at the end of the day.
00:47:06Uh, so yeah.
00:47:08It's these uncomfortable chats that need to happen.
00:47:10It's not, you're having a go.
00:47:12It's just.
00:47:12Yeah.
00:47:13Yeah.
00:47:13It helps.
00:47:14It helped us this week tremendously.
00:47:16Yeah.
00:47:17Great to hear.
00:47:18We ended up having a good week.
00:47:19Like she was, she was a lot more gentler.
00:47:21Like, you know, coming, leading with kindness.
00:47:23She's just been a little bit more gentle just with her delivery.
00:47:26I can see sometimes she's just, as she sometimes starts talking,
00:47:29she'll just stop and then she'll just go a little bit softer.
00:47:32Yeah.
00:47:32Just things like that, you know.
00:47:33Just little subtle differences that you can tell.
00:47:36Yeah.
00:47:36Like, yeah, don't get me wrong.
00:47:36Stella's still stellar.
00:47:38Yeah.
00:47:38You know, but she's a little bit, yeah.
00:47:40I don't know.
00:47:41Moving on.
00:47:42A little bit different energy.
00:47:43And, uh, we actually had a really, really good week.
00:47:45Go ask the question of like, alright, if we go outside the experiment,
00:47:48how quick would you expect like 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 12 months and Stella was just like ASAP.
00:48:02So it's just kind of like...
00:48:03I said the sooner the better.
00:48:04Wow.
00:48:07Sometimes I thought that like I was fully over invested
00:48:09and I was showing too much because that's a general trade of mine.
00:48:13I just go all in, you know.
00:48:14I 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.
00:48:19Uh, but it was good to get the reassurance.
00:48:21Uh, but yeah, we...
00:48:22Can I just point out something that's quite stark for you, Stella?
00:48:27Last week, you were essentially pushing him away.
00:48:30Yeah.
00:48:31And creating that space.
00:48:32And this week, you're saying you want a real life proposal ASAP.
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.
00:48:42Uh-huh.
00:48:43And I got really shy.
00:48:44I got really uncomfortable.
00:48:45And I said the sooner the better, you know.
00:48:47The sooner the better.
00:48:48Yeah, so...
00:48:48But still, the stark contrast, I guess, from last week.
00:48:51Yeah.
00:48:51How does that feel from your perspective?
00:48:53Uh, I'm trying to make sense of it.
00:48:56It would be confusing.
00:48:57No, it's not being crazy.
00:48:58But it's just, it's extreme.
00:48:59Can't really give up.
00:49:00It's extreme.
00:49:01And it has an emotional impact.
00:49:03Nah, it's good.
00:49:03So I'm just wondering how that feels for you.
00:49:05It's good.
00:49:06It shows that she's forward thinking.
00:49:08She sees me in her future.
00:49:09And that she's like the real deal, you know.
00:49:11When you think about the future, is this something that you can see for the two of you?
00:49:16Yeah, yeah.
00:49:17Definitely.
00:49:17Most definitely.
00:49:18So, yeah.
00:49:19Pretty, pretty confident.
00:49:22I guess it's interesting tonight that the first thing I noticed was the way you looked at him again.
00:49:27Aww.
00:49:28Yeah, I'm in love again.
00:49:29Because you were back into that.
00:49:29You were back into that sort of starry-eyed interaction where you gaze at him in extended ways.
00:49:36Oh, you're gonna make me cry.
00:49:38We lost...
00:49:39Well...
00:49:40We just...
00:49:40No, but we just...
00:49:41We lost that last week.
00:49:42Yeah.
00:49:43I would say I just fell back into my feelings, into my body, into showing up for myself and
00:49:48then showing up for him.
00:49:49Because if I don't show up for myself, I can't show up for him.
00:49:52Yeah.
00:49:53And that's the main difference.
00:49:54And ultimately, I think you had to get out of your head...
00:49:57Yep.
00:49:57...and into your heart.
00:49:59Yep.
00:49:59Which is ultimately what we were trying to get you to do.
00:50:02Mm.
00:50:03Alright, well, with that being the case, let's go to the decision.
00:50:07Stay or leave?
00:50:08Decision is very simple and being back into my heart.
00:50:13Aha.
00:50:13Another beautiful stay.
00:50:14Excellent.
00:50:15Look at that, eh?
00:50:15Perfect.
00:50:16Love it.
00:50:17Thanks.
00:50:17And fill it.
00:50:18It's a...
00:50:19It'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...
00:50:27I personally really appreciate the advices that you guys gave.
00:50:30Good work.
00:50:31Will do.
00:50:32Thanks again.
00:50:41And our final couple up on the couch, Bec and Danny.
00:50:46Oh, I'm scared.
00:50:52Oh.
00:50:55Right.
00:50:56Feedback week.
00:50:57How was it?
00:50:59Do you want to, you talk?
00:51:00I'll talk.
00:51:00It's been good.
00:51:01It was challenging to begin with.
00:51:04But it ended really, really well.
00:51:06Why was it challenging?
00:51:10So...
00:51:11Obviously, like, I told Danny that I'm in love with him.
00:51:15The last couple of weeks.
00:51:16I did a 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.
00:51:27But when we sort of did the questions, there 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, but he sort of un-denied a little bit and I just spiralled.
00:51:43So what was his exact answer?
00:51:46Uh, potentially, yes, I assume so.
00:51:49No.
00:51:51So how did that feel?
00:51:53Um, I was upset.
00:51:54I was hurt and I was kind of embarrassed.
00:52:02I thought that he would have said, no, I'm not there yet, but yes.
00:52:07I just thought that it, that he would be a little bit further along than potentially,
00:52:13yes, I assume so.
00:52:14But I need to allow Daniel to be on his journey in this relationship and I'll be on mine and
00:52:23don'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 fact to ruin how good it feels for me.
00:52:47Danny, let's go to that discussion, shall we?
00:52:50And when the question got asked, tell us again what you said and then why you said it.
00:52:58Well, the question's asked sometimes I struggle with, to be honest.
00:53:02I think I misinterpreted the question.
00:53:07But the question, what was it like?
00:53:10It was a bit...
00:53:10Could you see yourself falling in love with me?
00:53:13It was a pretty black and white question.
00:53:26If you want to know what I looked like 12 months ago, this is it.
00:53:29This is the last time I went surfing.
00:53:32Basically, it was overhead height, but I realised the surf's a bit beyond my level.
00:53:36I tried pulling off the wave, I could see a sandbank, and I went straight down, head first, onto my
00:53:43fin.
00:53:44I was surprised I came out alive, to be honest.
00:53:47Surfing is a beautiful thing, but honestly, I've just been too scared to get back out there.
00:53:52I remember you were walking up, and I don't know if it was that you could see the blood or
00:53:56something, but you started running.
00:53:57Well, I got closer, and the dude said to me, I was like, what'd she do?
00:54:00And he's like, dude, she has the most gnarly fin chop I've ever seen.
00:54:0419 stitches. Honestly, I looked like Harry Potter.
00:54:07The doctors in hospital said, you cannot have a knock like this again.
00:54:11The concussion you had, next time it won't be okay.
00:54:18Fear for me in gymnastics actually ended up stopping me.
00:54:21I would pull out of skills where you, like, think you're going to commit, you say to yourself, like, I
00:54:25can do this.
00:54:27And in the middle, you're like, I'm too scared, and you literally land on your head.
00:54:31Like, you're actually hurting yourself, but you're not trying to hurt yourself.
00:54:36And I was getting severely injured daily.
00:54:38I saw sports psychologists, and no matter what they said, I couldn't stop.
00:54:42That was a mental challenge I couldn't overcome.
00:54:44And so I knew gymnastics was going to be taken away from me.
00:54:47I learned to accept it in gymnastics, but, like, I'm not accepting this in serp.
00:54:52I have a background in fitness coaching, counselling.
00:54:54I'm always trying to show to people, you can do anything.
00:54:56And so it's a little bit like your imposter, because there's one part of you that you can't get past,
00:55:02but you'd expect that from others.
00:55:04I'm a go-getter. I don't let anything stop me, and this is the one thing that's stopping me.
00:55:09So if I can do this today, I can get back on that path.
00:55:14But yeah, I am a bit nervous.
00:55:20I feel incredibly apprehensive.
00:55:24The fluttering chest is not stopping, and I'm just hoping that today's going to be okay.
00:55:30The worst thing that can happen is a redo of last year.
00:55:34And that better not happen today.
00:55:36My confidence can't. My confidence can't handle it.
00:55:41I can't have another crash like that. Like, it really, really impacted my confidence.
00:55:48And that's not like me. Like, I'm known as a person that's a go-getter and doesn't stop and doesn't
00:55:53let fear stop them.
00:55:55So, I can't have a knock like that again.
00:55:58I'm really scared.
00:56:00I just don't want to be near people.
00:56:03Because people see me as this confident person, they don't get...
00:56:07I am petrified.
00:56:19I think I misinterpreted the question.
00:56:24But the question, what was it like, it was a bit...
00:56:27Could you see yourself falling in love with me?
00:56:28Because it's a pretty black and white question.
00:56:39From my point of view, I don't feel, as a man...
00:56:44Like, if I give back my word on something, I'm always going to stand to that.
00:56:50And I don't think saying, yes, I can 100% fall in love with you would be the right thing
00:56:57to say,
00:56:57because it's almost making a promise, which I don't think you can promise that before you're in love with someone.
00:57:04But let's just remind ourselves, the question wasn't, do you promise that you will fall in love with me?
00:57:11Yeah, I know, John, 100%.
00:57:12It was, can you see yourself falling in love with me?
00:57:18Yeah. And do you know what?
00:57:20Like, I can't sit here and make excuses.
00:57:22I just answered the question shockingly.
00:57:25You know what I mean?
00:57:28It was a mistake. I made a mistake. I'm only human.
00:57:32Like, I didn't, I didn't mean to make Bec feel like that.
00:57:35It wasn't my intention.
00:57:39When, when we revisited it, I, um...
00:57:42We talked about it.
00:57:45And we patched up, you know?
00:57:50Um, yeah, I just, I made a mistake.
00:57:54It's alright, baby.
00:57:59Danny, I've got a question, because I'm curious.
00:58:03Frankly, when I watch you on the couch, you seem uncomfortable.
00:58:09I do find this uncomfortable, to be honest.
00:58:11It's not something I'm good at.
00:58:12What's uncomfortable about it?
00:58:14Just sitting here talking about your feelings.
00:58:17I turn up and do it, because obviously it's more for Bec.
00:58:22If I had it my way, I wouldn't be here, no chance.
00:58:24But we need this, babe.
00:58:25But is it more for Bec?
00:58:29A hundred percent.
00:58:33Like, a lot of blokes do things they don't want to do because of their...
00:58:36Hold on a second, Dahl.
00:58:37One second, babe.
00:58:40Adore you so much.
00:58:41I love you, actually.
00:58:43But, this is not all for me, Dahl.
00:58:46No, I know that they're like...
00:58:47You're being, you're, they're helping you too.
00:58:49Trust me.
00:58:52These couch sessions are not just for Bec.
00:58:54You signed up to the experiment on your own.
00:58:58Saying that you wanted to break some patterns.
00:59:01So, this is the chance for you to do that.
00:59:03And that's your part where you have to rise to the occasion
00:59:06and choose to do that with enthusiasm.
00:59:11Enthusiasm, thank you.
00:59:12Thanks, Alessandra.
00:59:13You're welcome.
00:59:13No, but it's true.
00:59:14You want your partner to want to.
00:59:17And that's the game changer.
00:59:19When somebody really wants to be there for you
00:59:21and chooses to make you a priority day in and day out,
00:59:24wow, that's the game changer.
00:59:26It would be for you.
00:59:28It certainly will be for Bec.
00:59:33And what you know now is when you're particularly talking about
00:59:36commitment, future, feelings,
00:59:41you do have to choose your words very carefully.
00:59:46You do indeed.
00:59:49If you could do it over again, how would you answer it?
00:59:52I'd just say yes.
00:59:56Yes what?
00:59:57I could see myself well in love with you.
00:59:59Yeah.
01:00:00That's as simple as that.
01:00:02And would that be the truth?
01:00:07Of course, I wouldn't say it if it wasn't the truth.
01:00:09So, yeah.
01:00:11I just answered it wrong.
01:00:13That was my answer.
01:00:16I think the best thing with Daniel and I, and I've learnt,
01:00:20is that, you know, we always come out better and stronger.
01:00:24Because now, moving forward, we're in this together.
01:00:27And that makes me feel like I'm not going to get hurt.
01:00:33It means so much.
01:00:35And like, for example,
01:00:37he planned this date and I walked into our apartment
01:00:40and there was candles lit everywhere.
01:00:42And all over the apartment was post-it notes
01:00:46telling me how he felt about me.
01:00:50So, he's learning, guys.
01:00:52He's learning from me.
01:00:52I'm not all bad, am I?
01:00:54And then we went up and he asked me to be his girlfriend.
01:01:02I know you're married,
01:01:03but what inspired you to ask Beck that question?
01:01:07Uh, I'm trying to think.
01:01:10Like, it was important to Beck, you know,
01:01:13because, like, obviously...
01:01:14Why was it important to you?
01:01:21Um...
01:01:22Well, because it gives Beck security.
01:01:26But why is it important to you, Danny?
01:01:31Well, I'm married to Beck.
01:01:32Do you know what you mean?
01:01:33Mm-hmm.
01:01:34So, it's like, but, like, I think it was more...
01:01:41Um, yeah, I think Beck just wanted that added security that,
01:01:44like, do you...
01:01:45But why was it important to you to ask her that?
01:01:50..
01:02:07Um...
01:02:08Yeah, I think Beck just wanted that added security that, like, do you...?
01:02:11But why was it important to you to ask her that?
01:02:23Because I know it would be special to back.
01:02:27But why was it important to you?
01:02:37Um, well, because I wanted to be my girlfriend, like, you know, um, yeah, that's why I'd
01:02:47done it.
01:02:49Cute.
01:02:56How did it feel?
01:02:58So good.
01:03:03It's really special to me.
01:03:08Alright, well on that note, we're going to go to a decision.
01:03:10Bec.
01:03:12I wrote stay and then I wrote boyfriend hee hee.
01:03:15Oh.
01:03:18Yeah.
01:03:19Boyfriend.
01:03:21Danny.
01:03:23Leave.
01:03:24Can you imagine?
01:03:25Yeah.
01:03:27So I've just done a cheeky stay.
01:03:30That's lovely.
01:03:31Where's the love part this week?
01:03:32I was in a rush.
01:03:33Oh, okay.
01:03:36This week, I think, for you, Danny, clearly and plainly, let her know how you feel about
01:03:45her.
01:03:46Everything that you wrote on those post-it notes, translate that into your verbal communication
01:03:51with her this week, because it worked.
01:03:53It's been the best week of my life.
01:03:58You got a big thumbs up for that, so do more of that.
01:04:01Make her that priority.
01:04:08Thank you both.
01:04:10Thanks so much.
01:04:11Appreciate you.
01:04:39Thank you, Terry.
01:04:41Over two big nights, our couples get a glimpse of what married life will look like
01:04:47beyond the experiment.
01:04:50Woo, passenger princess!
01:04:52Stephen sets sail on an exciting new future with Rachel.
01:04:56This is such a special place for him.
01:04:58How lucky am I for him to have welcomed me into this?
01:05:01I kind of like holding a rod and getting kissed.
01:05:04Oh, hang on.
01:05:07My vibes on the wedding day weren't really positive.
01:05:10And I'm here to protect her.
01:05:12Stella's outspoken guests from her wedding day are back.
01:05:16So, like, I've bought information.
01:05:18Sorry to interrupt you.
01:05:19I'm getting some not-so-confident vibes from over here.
01:05:23And then...
01:05:24Welcome.
01:05:25Scott shows off to Gia his waterside home.
01:05:29Oh, it's a bit messy.
01:05:30So random. Weird.
01:05:33This wouldn't be big enough.
01:05:34It'd be better if that wasn't there.
01:05:35Is Gia the most high-maintenance house guest Scott's ever seen?
01:05:40Um, my house is way cleaner.
01:05:43Yeah, I couldn't live here.
01:05:44If the roles were reversed and I was at Gia's house,
01:05:46I wouldn't say anything but nice things.
01:05:49I don't know.
01:05:53Good evening.
