00:00:06This is the most important day of the whole experiment.
00:00:10Far more nervous today than the wedding day hands down.
00:00:16You are the most beautiful woman I've ever known.
00:00:18I'm proud to have you as my wife and I'm proud to have you as my best friend.
00:00:23I doubt he'll see this coming and I doubt that he will like hearing it.
00:00:27Tonight...
00:00:27You can dream of it, you can wish for it, but it's actually here now.
00:00:31It's all come down to this moment.
00:00:34She's going to tell me how she feels today and she hasn't really done that too well.
00:00:39As our final three couples...
00:00:41Holding on to the unknown is what has made this the hardest decision I've ever had to make.
00:00:47Decide whether or not to renew their vows.
00:00:51You're the one I've spent my life looking for.
00:00:53But the road to true love...
00:00:56You seem too good to be true.
00:00:59And it wasn't too long into the honeymoon that I realised...
00:01:05That this may unfortunately be the case.
00:01:08Doesn't run smooth.
00:01:12Take a time.
00:01:20Am I falling for Georgia?
00:01:21Yes.
00:01:24Hearts will break.
00:01:28I've made my decision now.
00:01:30And I'm confident in it.
00:01:33In the most surprising vow renewal ever.
00:01:56Our remaining three couples are waking up to their final morning in the experiment.
00:02:02What a ride it's been, eh?
00:02:04I know.
00:02:05What a ride.
00:02:05I don't know how I feel about leaving this room.
00:02:08And the sobering reality that in just a few days they'll be making the most important decision of their lives.
00:02:16Whether or not they will stay together beyond the experiment.
00:02:19I've got to get back to the album today.
00:02:22I'm not going to see you next until the vows.
00:02:26So...
00:02:26How do you feel about that?
00:02:29But it's all come too soon for Jake.
00:02:32Who is on shaky ground with wife Rebecca after her confronting revelation.
00:02:40Short term, in the next three months, are we together in your mind?
00:02:47No.
00:02:51I can't look that far ahead.
00:02:53When we start putting dates on things and that, that's when I'm like, I'm so present.
00:02:56I cherish every single moment because you never know what's going to happen.
00:03:01Do you like me?
00:03:02Yeah, I do like you.
00:03:04However, you like me more than I like you.
00:03:12To hear that out loud is always a bit confronting.
00:03:17It probably is because there was a date on it.
00:03:20I'm not thinking about timeline.
00:03:23That's, that's all it was.
00:03:25And I'm sorry that you would have taken it obviously a bit more of a wrong way than how I
00:03:30tried to explain it.
00:03:31But I don't want that to dismiss that I can't see a future with you.
00:03:37Maybe I should have asked, do you see a future?
00:03:40Rather than necessarily putting a date on it, perhaps.
00:03:45Yeah.
00:03:46Yeah.
00:03:47I get her point, but I don't think she's being as honest as she possibly can with her feelings.
00:03:55We've both got a lot to think about.
00:03:58Maybe I'm just in a fantasy world.
00:04:00Maybe I'm looking at this too optimistically.
00:04:02Maybe I'm hoping too much.
00:04:06It's frustrating where it leaves me, to be honest, because I don't feel like we have closure at all before
00:04:10I make a massive decision at the vows.
00:04:23I think I'm really unsure and I don't want to waste anyone's time, especially my own.
00:04:30So, I've got a lot to think about.
00:04:34I wish that what Jake and I had now, we could have had so much closer to our wedding day.
00:04:41Things would have been really different.
00:04:46Here we go, babe.
00:04:48I know, I've got to get a flight.
00:04:50I'm a little bit sweaty for packing.
00:04:52The packing's even passed.
00:04:54Yeah.
00:04:58I'm absolutely petrified of getting heartbroken.
00:05:01Absolutely.
00:05:02A bit of deja vu.
00:05:03What?
00:05:04A bit of deja vu.
00:05:05How? Because you're leaving.
00:05:06Yeah, I'm not when you left last night.
00:05:09Yeah.
00:05:10That's what it feels like.
00:05:12Mm-hmm.
00:05:20I feel silly because of everything that I know that we've been through and how she's treated me and how
00:05:26we've been at times.
00:05:27Why do I still feel this way?
00:05:29It makes no sense.
00:05:33So, there's something special about that woman that I can't put my finger on.
00:05:37And that's what's kept me coming back and it's sucked me in every time.
00:05:39I hope that things can work on the outside world.
00:05:43I really do.
00:05:44I do hope that.
00:05:45I'll put you later.
00:05:48My concern is that it might be even a fairy tale.
00:06:01After Liam revealed some hard truths at the last dinner party, Georgia chose to spend the night in a separate
00:06:08room.
00:06:11This morning, I'm feeling drained.
00:06:15It's just like a shitty day for this to have happened.
00:06:19It's the last day of the experiment.
00:06:21Packing up and leaving today.
00:06:23Um, you know, we've been strong since the moment we met.
00:06:27And then last night just...
00:06:29Ugh.
00:06:30It was very confusing and confronting for both of us.
00:06:34Do you think that your friends and, like, brother and sister would, like, actually accept me?
00:06:41No.
00:06:43They're country.
00:06:44They're very down to earth.
00:06:45They're completely different.
00:06:47You know, they're not used to the loud, the pink, the this, the that.
00:06:52You know, it'll take time for them to accept you.
00:06:56Am I going to break up with you because they hate you?
00:06:59No.
00:07:09Obviously, she was upset.
00:07:11And last night, I kept asking Georgia if she was okay and, do you want to talk about it?
00:07:15And she just kept saying, no, no, no, I'm all good, I'm fine.
00:07:20Hey.
00:07:20Hey, hey.
00:07:30She's not really good with feelings, but there's something that she's holding into that I think she needs to let
00:07:34out and we need to have a conversation.
00:07:36Yeah, I think there's stuff we need to talk about.
00:07:40Okay.
00:07:41Do you want to kick it off?
00:07:45Um...
00:07:50I just don't understand how, where it all, how it turned like that.
00:07:54Yeah.
00:07:55So, obviously, I think, maybe it's easier for you to kick it off.
00:08:01So, last night when I asked you if your friends and family would accept me, you, like, straight off the
00:08:09bat said no.
00:08:11And instead of you being like, but because I like you, I want to convince them that there's, like, more
00:08:18sides to you than what they'll say straight off the bat.
00:08:21You sort of didn't say that, it was just like, no, they're not going to like you and their opinion
00:08:28matters to me.
00:08:31So, I felt like that's going to be an issue.
00:08:36I didn't want to sit there and go, no, they will like you or, you know, they might not adjust
00:08:40at first, but they'll definitely get there.
00:08:42It's not me and I can't lie.
00:08:45I'm not asking you to lie. I'm just saying that I felt insecure that you aren't ever going to totally,
00:08:55like, accept me and...
00:08:58That's the thing. I've never said I've never accepted it.
00:09:04All I've said is I struggle with the glam side of this to that because I'm not used to that
00:09:08world.
00:09:09From day one, I've told you my concerns. I've told you everything.
00:09:14Now, I feel an issue on your end.
00:09:20No, I feel like they're your issues.
00:09:22They're not my whole time. They're not my issues.
00:09:28This is shit and I want this thing that we're going through to be over.
00:09:36I just want to, like, go back to being good.
00:09:42Obviously, I want that too. I do, but maybe it's good that we are to spend time apart to see
00:09:50what happens and see how we think and get my head clear.
00:10:01I thank so much of you.
00:10:19I think after that chat, I don't really feel any better.
00:10:27Um, and I still have no idea what's going through his head.
00:10:33I still don't quite understand where I went wrong.
00:10:38I want Liam and I to just, like, be good again.
00:10:43Like, I don't even understand what we're fighting about anymore.
00:10:50I just want it to be over.
00:11:05Down the corridor, Belinda and Patrick are beginning the emotionally difficult task of packing up their apartment.
00:11:14This doesn't seem normal to, like, pack up and leave and, like, leave our place and to go our separate
00:11:20ways.
00:11:21It's only too long until you see him again to the final vows.
00:11:25Like, I'm used to being with him now and it's just like, we're together, we're a pair, we're a match.
00:11:32I feel like I've come really far from that girl on the wedding day.
00:11:43Holy moly guacamole.
00:11:46Hello.
00:11:47Hello.
00:11:48Hi.
00:11:49How are you?
00:11:50I'm good, how are you?
00:11:51Very good, you look beautiful.
00:11:53I'm Patrick, by the way.
00:11:55Patrick, I'm Belinda.
00:11:56Nice to meet you.
00:11:57Nice to meet you too.
00:11:59Patrick, I've been waiting to be in a relationship my whole life.
00:12:03But finally, here I am standing with you.
00:12:06I finally get to meet you.
00:12:08My wish has come true.
00:12:09I will always put you first, support you in your goals and ensure you live the happiest life possible.
00:12:15I never imagined that I would feel so strong for Pat.
00:12:19So it's kind of scary.
00:12:23Oh, Belle.
00:12:24Come here, come here.
00:12:25Come here.
00:12:27Come here.
00:12:27Come here.
00:12:29I like sitting upset.
00:12:33It's going to be hard.
00:12:35It's a really surreal, strange feeling.
00:12:38We've been living together for eight weeks and we haven't been apart.
00:12:42And I think it's going to be an adjustment going our separate ways.
00:12:47Like I know I'll see him soon, but like, but it's just, it's just hard.
00:12:55I'm, I'm literally going right now.
00:13:03I don't want to lose Pat.
00:13:09I'm going to miss being around her.
00:13:13She makes me feel this real kind of warmth inside and I'm just going to miss that feeling of just
00:13:20having her right there the whole time.
00:13:22Yeah.
00:13:32I just feel so lucky, you know, that I got matched with Belle.
00:13:38And it was fate.
00:13:40Bye bye.
00:13:40Bye.
00:13:46What a ride.
00:13:52I really hope it's not the end of us going our separate ways to make this decision.
00:14:01I hope it's not the end.
00:14:08Diesel.
00:14:10The final vows is the last and most important stage of the experiment.
00:14:15Our couples must now spend time apart to make a life changing decision whether to build a future together or
00:14:22go their separate ways.
00:14:24For somebody like Liam, who has had an unstable relationship with his family, he will rely heavily on the guidance
00:14:31of his friends.
00:14:32Hey.
00:14:33Oh, hello.
00:14:34How you doing?
00:14:35How you been?
00:14:36If they fail to offer him the support he needs to move forward with Georgia, it will be extremely difficult
00:14:42for him to commit to a relationship outside of the experiment.
00:14:47One thing about Kat is she's very honest, so I need to tell her how I've been going on an
00:14:52experiment and get her feedback because she does know me more than I think I know myself.
00:14:57Well, alright, first question.
00:14:59Have you struggled with anything?
00:15:00Straight off the bat.
00:15:01Straight off the bat.
00:15:05Look, at the start, I was struggling to come to terms with Georgia's glamour side.
00:15:11Mmm.
00:15:11Like it's the, I'm going to take three hours to get ready.
00:15:14Yeah, right, but that's what chicks are like though.
00:15:16Chicks like to look good all the time, especially in the experiment that you were both in.
00:15:21Mmm.
00:15:21I would imagine that insecurities would play a part of that and that she would want to look good.
00:15:26And I guess I haven't really thought about that.
00:15:29You don't understand women sometimes.
00:15:33Ah, Liam, you've read too much into this.
00:15:36It is just what women do and you're just not used to it, so you think it's this big thing,
00:15:41but really it's not.
00:15:42It sounds so shallow.
00:15:45Yeah.
00:15:46It's like I made her cry at the last dinner party.
00:15:48What did you say?
00:15:50So there was a question where it was like, do you think your family and friends will like me on
00:15:56the outside?
00:15:57And me being me, I was just like, nah, they're going to hate you straight up.
00:16:03Oh, you shouldn't have said that.
00:16:04I don't feel proud of her, but it's more like I don't think I've realised how harsh I was.
00:16:09So your delivery of things is not the best?
00:16:12No.
00:16:12No.
00:16:13What about, who is she as a person? How is she?
00:16:16Yeah, she's got a great personality. Like we've gelled, we've got so much in common.
00:16:20I can't fold her on that.
00:16:21She's been so accepting of me, like my sexuality.
00:16:24And here I am like, it probably sounds so hypocritical.
00:16:29I think you're looking into things too much.
00:16:31You've done this in past relationships.
00:16:33You look for ways how it's not going to work.
00:16:37You really need to start thinking about ways that it's going to work.
00:16:40Look, just in here talking to you, I think I have been on that self-destruct button.
00:16:45Oh yeah.
00:16:46And it's like, let's pick something and stick with it and sit in your head and be like, play on
00:16:51it, play on it, play on it.
00:16:52Where it's like, you know what?
00:16:54If I didn't self-destruct, I think there'd be no issues with us.
00:17:00Kat's like that Italian grandma that slaps you on the back of the head.
00:17:03And I've had my slap on the back of my head and it's like, Liam, what have you been doing?
00:17:08Like, wake up.
00:17:11My feelings towards Georgia are very strong.
00:17:14I think I was trying to push Georgia away.
00:17:18Am I falling for Georgia?
00:17:20Yes.
00:17:26She's, I don't know, it's Georgia.
00:17:33She has a heart of gold.
00:17:40Yeah, she has a heart of gold and she makes you feel safe.
00:17:47I've never felt safe in a relationship.
00:17:50And Georgia makes me feel safe.
00:17:53As Liam's decision becomes clearer, in Sydney, Georgia remains confused as to where their relationship stands.
00:18:03She is hoping that a chat with her mum, Jill, will offer some much needed perspective.
00:18:09So looking forward to seeing my mum today.
00:18:12I am definitely struggling at the moment between, you know, what my head is saying and what my heart is
00:18:18saying.
00:18:18Hey mama.
00:18:19Hey George, how are you?
00:18:21My heart says give him a chance because there were a lot of weeks of good for one thing of
00:18:26bad.
00:18:27I thought, you know, if you asked me a week ago, this would have been one of the easiest decisions
00:18:32I've ever had to make.
00:18:34There was, there was no question.
00:18:36I've been missing you.
00:18:37Oh, what's been happening?
00:18:39Tell me.
00:18:40I don't know.
00:18:41Like we were really good.
00:18:44Like we were.
00:18:45The whole experiment was honestly like magic.
00:18:49And then at the dinner party, it all just unraveled.
00:18:56The experts had preset questions.
00:18:59The first question was, what's your biggest insecurity?
00:19:02And he said that I'm not good enough for you.
00:19:05Another one of the questions was like, do you think your friends and family will accept me?
00:19:09And he was very quick to say, no, they will hate you.
00:19:12Hate you.
00:19:13He mentioned that there's 5% of me that's like too glamorous or whatever that he's struggling to accept.
00:19:21And it, it just broke my heart because the way he was talking.
00:19:28George.
00:19:30It was like, it was like there was judgment behind it.
00:19:34You know, like after spending all this time with him and he's gotten to know me and all these things,
00:19:39it's like he still won't see me or accept me for who I am.
00:19:45And you know, like I've accepted him for everything that he is and where he came from.
00:19:49And I never even, you know, took a second look at it.
00:19:55The way he was talking at the dinner party was like, you're never going to accept me.
00:20:02Like, I've never seen you like this, George.
00:20:05The person who's going to be your life partner has to love you for all that you are and has
00:20:11to support you and has to lift you up.
00:20:13And you have to do the same to them.
00:20:15It just makes me question.
00:20:17It's like, is this is what I'm doing wrong?
00:20:21Let's just talk a little bit about what you've just told me.
00:20:24You've told me that there's 5% of you that he's not comfortable with.
00:20:29He said, you're too glamorous.
00:20:30You won't fit in with his life and his family will hate you.
00:20:35Do you understand that that is demeaning?
00:20:38I have never known you in all my life to be inadequate or insecure.
00:20:45So something's going on.
00:20:46I want you to really think about the way that you interrelate and if there's things that he's doing that's
00:20:53actually taking away your confidence.
00:20:55This is a decision for your future for a very long time.
00:21:00And at the very least, you have to call out unacceptable behaviour.
00:21:05He hasn't been lifting you up.
00:21:07He's actually been systematically eating away at your confidence and eroding your self-esteem.
00:21:16That's so unlike me.
00:21:18It's so unlike you.
00:21:19You're going to have to make some big decisions.
00:21:22So even if you decide to stay with him and that's your choice and I'll support you in it.
00:21:27But remember, you're talking about sharing your life with someone.
00:21:32So if you don't set boundaries now, it's only going to get worse.
00:21:39Thanks, Mum.
00:21:40Love you.
00:21:42She needs to think through whether this is the right thing for her.
00:21:47I'll support her whatever she chooses.
00:21:50Feelings hurt. Love hurt.
00:21:52And I think she's been really hurt.
00:22:03Our final three couples have separated to reflect on their time in the experiment.
00:22:08They will spend this time apart contemplating their life-changing decision of whether to commit to their relationship on the
00:22:16outside or return to single life.
00:22:20In Melbourne, Patrick is struggling to return to life without Belinda.
00:22:27I'm super surprised how I'm feeling at the moment.
00:22:31When you spend 24-7 with someone for a number of months and then you separate, it's a weird feeling
00:22:39that's hard to describe.
00:22:40But yeah, I definitely miss her.
00:22:44I'm Belinda's first partner ever.
00:22:48So it's always going to be a slow burn.
00:22:50And she took a while to open up to me.
00:22:53There was nothing.
00:22:54There wasn't really hugging.
00:22:55There was not really any kissing.
00:22:57I was like, you know, does this girl actually, you know, like me?
00:23:00Feet.
00:23:02Clapping them together.
00:23:03You know, you clap feet every single day, but you know, here we are clapping feet.
00:23:08Can I get out?
00:23:09Yeah, go.
00:23:10So I need just like, you know, a hug or a kiss just to feel wanted.
00:23:16But I'm not used to that kind of male affection.
00:23:19I've never had that before.
00:23:21I don't want him to think that just because I haven't been initiating affection, it doesn't mean I'm not into
00:23:26him.
00:23:28I feel like I've been honest since, you know, day one.
00:23:30I'm expressing my feelings towards Belinda.
00:23:33I know, you just make me like super happy.
00:23:35Just like being around you because you're someone who lets me be myself.
00:23:41And like, I'm falling for you.
00:23:46Yeah.
00:23:47I mean, that's really nice.
00:23:48Thanks for sharing.
00:23:50Thanks for sharing your story.
00:23:52I would have loved a bit more reassurance.
00:23:59Definitely.
00:24:01I'm confident in what I'm going to write at the final vows.
00:24:06But it's scary telling someone that you're falling for them and you don't know what they're going to say back
00:24:10at all.
00:24:10It's scary.
00:24:13I don't think Belinda's really told me how she feels about me throughout this experiment.
00:24:17She might be falling for me, but she just doesn't know how to tell me.
00:24:21So, her actually telling me and expressing all feelings for me, I want that.
00:24:32Coming into the experiment, I had never been in a relationship before.
00:24:36And it's always something that I did want in my life and I craved it and it just wasn't happening
00:24:42for me.
00:24:43I went through so many years wondering like, what's wrong with me?
00:24:46Why haven't I met someone?
00:24:48Why doesn't a guy like me?
00:24:49I was worried that my match wouldn't accept me.
00:24:53But after meeting Pat and finding out he's a bit weird and quirky too, it kind of made me feel
00:24:58more comfortable and relaxed.
00:25:00But my feelings through the experiment took a while to develop for Pat.
00:25:04I was going at a slower pace.
00:25:07Because I haven't experienced these types of feelings before.
00:25:10Are you scared to fall in love?
00:25:12I think I am scared to fall in love.
00:25:15I have been single my whole entire life.
00:25:23Oh shit.
00:25:25It's alright. I got you.
00:25:28A good time.
00:25:30Yeah, I am. I think I am scared of falling in love because like, I haven't been in a relationship
00:25:35before.
00:25:36And I haven't experienced these type of feelings before.
00:25:40So it's scary.
00:25:42Yeah.
00:25:44I feel like through the experiment I did struggle to voice how I was feeling.
00:25:49And I think I struggle when it comes to talking to Pat about them.
00:25:53I think that's because his feelings were always stronger throughout the experiment.
00:25:59And mine were lagging behind.
00:26:00So I found it hard to express how I was feeling.
00:26:04It wasn't until I came home and being away from Patrick, it just made me realise how strong my feelings
00:26:11are for him.
00:26:13My feelings for Pat are just real.
00:26:16And it kind of made me think, oh gosh, I believe like I'm ready to tell him now.
00:26:25In Sydney.
00:26:26Hi!
00:26:29Bec has called on friend Trent and bridesmaid Christy for advice.
00:26:34We got you these because we know you like to eat your feelings.
00:26:37Shut up!
00:26:38Christy and Trent's opinion means so much to me.
00:26:42These guys see Unfiltered Bec all the time.
00:26:46They know what I'm like.
00:26:47And Christy has obviously met Jake at the wedding.
00:26:52As he turned around, he did this.
00:26:55You know, just like, oh, you are physically just wanting a trophy.
00:26:59Yeah.
00:27:00And in there, I feel like we're in a business meeting.
00:27:04Sweetie, you've known him for, like, how long?
00:27:07Not very long.
00:27:08Like, let's cut him some slack and just chill out.
00:27:11Just give him a chance and time will tell.
00:27:14Thank God you guys are here.
00:27:17No matter what, Christy will always just tell me how it is.
00:27:21Alright, it's Bill.
00:27:23There is so much to like about Jake.
00:27:25Like, so much.
00:27:27There is, we have, we do have things in common.
00:27:31You know, he's compassionate.
00:27:34He's, he gives me a sense of security.
00:27:37There's things that Jake brings to a relationship that are so good.
00:27:40You'd be crazy to pass up.
00:27:43There's nothing to complain about.
00:27:45But then, there's no fun.
00:27:49Laughter is sexual energy for me.
00:27:51It's like chemistry.
00:27:52That is what's missing.
00:27:54Mmm.
00:27:56Bec, I was really hoping to come here today and you just be like,
00:28:00I'm so in love.
00:28:01You're not bubbly, you're not laughing.
00:28:04With him.
00:28:06You need to be honest with yourself about what's in your gut.
00:28:09If there's love in your heart for him, you need to go for it.
00:28:14If it's just everything is hard work and it's very forced, then it's not meant to be done.
00:28:21He's a lovely guy.
00:28:23A beautiful soul.
00:28:24And it's hard for me to say, like, I don't think Becky's the girl for him.
00:28:29Because that will break his heart.
00:28:31But that's the reality and I have to be honest.
00:28:34I'm just in two minds.
00:28:37I can't be dishonest about how I'm feeling or what's happened throughout the experiment.
00:28:42I would hate to lead Jake on and break Jake's heart.
00:28:47I literally thought it would be easy right now to know exactly what I want to do in final bath
00:28:53and I don't.
00:28:55I'm so 50-50 with this decision.
00:28:58You could probably give me a coin and I would flip it.
00:29:02I've never been so torn up about a decision in my life.
00:29:10In Melbourne, the weight of his decision has begun to hit home for Jake.
00:29:17Bec and I have been through an up and down journey on this experiment.
00:29:22This decision is massive for me.
00:29:24I want to make sure it's the right one.
00:29:27The reality is that I'm going to have to pick my life up and probably move to Perth for a
00:29:30period of time.
00:29:31And that's a significant change in my life.
00:29:34And I want to make sure that I'm moving for the right one.
00:29:43Probably my biggest concern is just, is the Bec that I've had the last part of this experiment, is that
00:29:50the Bec that I'm going to get full time?
00:29:52Will she fall back into her ways of being rude?
00:29:55Because early it was hard.
00:30:00Have you got similar interests?
00:30:02It's like, I like to have a joke a little bit more.
00:30:05And so I find Jake boring sometimes.
00:30:08Boring.
00:30:09Yeah.
00:30:10He makes 32 seem really like old.
00:30:13The other thing is just the affection side of Bec.
00:30:16Can she give and receive affection?
00:30:18No.
00:30:19Why?
00:30:20Don't.
00:30:21And to this point in the relationship, that's been difficult for her.
00:30:24She was cold.
00:30:27Made me feel not wanted.
00:30:31But then we hit the reset, turned a corner and her behaviour changed.
00:30:36The Bec I've had the last few weeks of the experiment.
00:30:39It's the Bec that I could fall in love with.
00:30:41For me personally, like, the chemistry is certainly there.
00:30:51I've never felt so many emotions for one person ever in my own lifetime.
00:30:55For me that says something pretty special about Bec.
00:31:00I fight for things in my life that I care about.
00:31:03I care about Bec.
00:31:05I think she's amazing.
00:31:08But there's a part of me that thinks...
00:31:12Don't do it, mate.
00:31:15That's a big thing.
00:31:18Next.
00:31:19I'm nervous as to how this is going to go.
00:31:21Happily ever afters hang in the balance.
00:31:25This is the most confronting thing I've ever done in my life.
00:31:28Literally putting my heart on the line here.
00:31:30I'm channeling all that strength that I've been building
00:31:32so that I can do what I have to do and say what needs to be said.
00:31:36As the stunning final vows begin...
00:31:40You're the one I've spent my life looking for.
00:31:42I can't imagine my life without you.
00:31:45To me, you are the most beautiful woman I've ever known.
00:31:49So intelligent, kind.
00:31:52Bec.
00:31:53There's never been a woman who has made me feel each and every emotion like you have.
00:31:57I want you to know that.
00:32:00Patrick.
00:32:02Yeah?
00:32:15We line up a set of not nervous leading into today.
00:32:20It's just that fear, I guess, of the unknown.
00:32:24But it's not going to hold me back.
00:32:28I came on this experiment to find love and a wife and...
00:32:33There's something really unique about Bec.
00:32:35She's such a strong-headed, independent person.
00:32:40I've found an incredible woman who has challenged me like no other.
00:32:47I want to be vulnerable, I want to put myself out there.
00:32:49I want to be real and tell her how I feel.
00:32:56This is the most confronting thing I've ever done in my life
00:32:59and that's like literally putting my heart on the line here.
00:33:03I'm just going to be honest.
00:33:13I never thought I would be at final vows with Jake.
00:33:18I'm actually really nervous.
00:33:20I don't get nervous normally.
00:33:23We do have a connection.
00:33:26But then...
00:33:28Sometimes you can sit there and easily think of all the times where it just has not worked out.
00:33:33We've seen probably more dark days than happy days.
00:33:37This is the last time I can really express to Jake how I've been feeling,
00:33:41how I am feeling and where I see my future.
00:33:46Today is completely open and honest.
00:33:49That's one thing Jake's always got from me and that's what he's going to get today.
00:34:21This is her moment right now.
00:34:22to tell me one way or the other what she wants, good or bad, are you in or are you
00:34:34out?
00:34:37If she does that today, I'll be, I'll be ecstatic, I'll be absolutely thrilled.
00:34:43I'm expecting the worst and then kind of hoping for the best.
00:34:48Fingers crossed.
00:35:32I have made the right decision, even though it's been really hard.
00:35:40It took the entire experiment to make this decision.
00:35:44It weighs up on absolutely everything that's happened.
00:35:50I've left no stone unturned with what I have to say to Jake.
00:35:56It's raw, it's open, it's honest.
00:36:05Hello.
00:36:06Oh, hello.
00:36:08How are you?
00:36:09Good, how are you?
00:36:11Good.
00:36:22You look amazing, you know what?
00:36:25You have a tie on.
00:36:27I thought you might be happy with that.
00:36:29Yeah, you look very good.
00:36:31Oh, thanks.
00:36:31Beautiful.
00:36:40You ready?
00:36:41I'm ready.
00:36:42Okay.
00:36:49Bec, I came to you as a man who had endured many challenges in his life and has overcome many
00:36:55obstacles.
00:36:56My heart was ready and willing to find love.
00:37:01At our wedding, I was taken back by your presence and I remember at times becoming completely lost in those
00:37:08blue eyes.
00:37:10You seemed too good to be true.
00:37:15And it wasn't too long into the honeymoon that I realised that this may unfortunately be the case.
00:37:26Starting at this point in our journey, you had said some things to me that have been hurtful and have
00:37:34made me retreat inwards.
00:37:38You were rude, condescending and cold.
00:37:43I just couldn't figure out why someone would be like that.
00:37:49I didn't feel wanted or even liked and my walls went up immediately.
00:37:55At times, our relationship was so overwhelming that I closed off to protect myself from being hurt.
00:38:15But the crazy thing is this.
00:38:19During this time, I still had such an attraction to you that was forcing me to stay committed to the
00:38:23experiment and to try and make things work.
00:38:27And right when I thought I'd lost you was when I realised just how much I needed you in my
00:38:32life.
00:38:35You were exactly the person I would ask for.
00:38:38You're strong, driven, independent and secure.
00:38:44Being with you is a risk, but the risk is worth taking.
00:38:49I would like to commit to making this work between us, Bec, from today forward.
00:38:54There's never been a woman who has made me feel each and every emotion like you have.
00:39:00Everything from anger and frustration to happiness and love.
00:39:09That's right.
00:39:11There's even a part of me that's in love with you, Bec.
00:39:17That was so beautiful.
00:39:19Yeah?
00:39:20Yeah.
00:39:26That's me out there.
00:39:52Jake.
00:39:57When I came into the experiment, I was looking for a deep connection like no other.
00:40:03I wanted someone to challenge me, encourage me and unapologetically love me.
00:40:09I arrived with an open mind and I feel like you have seen the real me, for better or for
00:40:14worse.
00:40:19On our wedding day, I worked out quickly we were not going to be smooth sailing into connection or chemistry.
00:40:26I felt objectified and a surface level relationship was my worst nightmare.
00:40:33At first glance, it seemed as though the two of us had nothing in common.
00:40:39Your sensitivity to my forward thinking and banter showed me clearly we had huge differences when it came to ways
00:40:46of seeing and approaching the world.
00:40:50I've never been in a relationship where I've had to question so much than I have in ours.
00:40:58Our relationship is nothing short of a rollercoaster.
00:41:02When I thought about getting off a few times.
00:41:14But just when I thought we were done, something changed.
00:41:18We connected for the first time.
00:41:20And through that connection, I came to appreciate and understand you on a new level.
00:41:28It is clear that you are caring in the thoughtful things you do for me and others.
00:41:34You have such a calm and steady demeanor.
00:41:37And you're in tune with your feelings.
00:41:41And although you try to be modest, you underestimate yourself.
00:41:49However, Jake.
00:41:55I believe people come into our life at the right time and place to teach us a lesson about love.
00:42:02And although I thought the lesson was to walk away from what doesn't feel right in my head.
00:42:07I realize it's to actually embrace what is right in my heart.
00:42:19It's okay.
00:42:30And that is what has made this the hardest decision I've ever had to make.
00:42:56I believe people come into our life at the right time and place to teach us a lesson about love.
00:43:03And that the universe will keep putting the same relationships in our lives until that lesson is learned.
00:43:10And although I thought the lesson was to walk away from what doesn't feel right in my head.
00:43:17I realize it's to actually embrace what is right in my heart.
00:43:27It's okay.
00:43:29It's okay.
00:43:30It's okay.
00:43:37But I know that if I walk away right now, I will always wonder what this could have been.
00:43:45So although I don't know what the future holds.
00:43:48I know that I'm not ready to walk away from this without giving it my all.
00:43:54You always say, if you're in, I'm in.
00:43:58So here I am letting you know I'm in.
00:44:01100% I'm in.
00:44:14Definitely.
00:44:17I guess you're happy with that?
00:44:18Just a little bit.
00:44:30I'd be alive, I said I wasn't concerned.
00:44:32Were you concerned?
00:44:32yeah but I mean it like I'm all in so there's no doubt playing in my mind like
00:44:45it feels right feels so right I'm so happy I didn't expect him to say that
00:44:51he loves me yeah that's massive thank you thank you for just for being you just
00:45:00me yeah I mean all I asked and hoped for was her to be truthful and honest about
00:45:05her feelings and she's certainly delivered so to hear her say that if
00:45:09you're in I'm in that's all I wanted to hear it gives me such security now to
00:45:16move forward with Beck knowing that she feels this way about me because I'll
00:45:21give her everything she's after if you had your time I would you by that time
00:45:26to the wedding I'm nervous as to how this is gonna go
00:45:56we ended this experiment not on good terms I regret how I acted at the dinner
00:46:05party in an ideal world I should have just apologized and we would have been fine
00:46:14I've got Georgia who's so supportive who doesn't judge me and I just think I've
00:46:21never had that before so this can't be true I can't wait to see Georgia and tell Georgia my vows
00:46:29it's gonna be a very honest caring more in touch Liam then George has probably ever seen
00:46:39this is the opposite of how I expected to feel walking in the final hours I thought it was gonna
00:46:46be happy and
00:46:47full of love like the rest of the experiment was but it's a bit different now
00:46:54I'm not sure Liam is ready to figure out a way to compromise both of our worlds to accept my
00:47:03life for what it is and
00:47:04accept me for who I am I'm done processing I've made my decision now I've made the right decision for
00:47:14me and I'm confident in it yeah I'm ready
00:47:21it's nerve-wracking to me because she's a time to process and in that time she could be like you
00:47:27know
00:47:27what I don't want to fight for this
00:47:32this could be the break of us I'd be absolutely devastated if she left I'd be crushed
00:47:45I'm channeling all that strength that I've been building over the last week so that I can do what I
00:47:51have to do and say what needs to be said
00:47:53I doubt he'll see this coming and I doubt that he will like hearing it
00:48:26you look beautiful thank you
00:48:35okay all right Georgia on our wedding day we were two strangers who had no idea how this marriage was
00:48:47going to turn out as soon as I saw you coming down the aisle with your gorgeous smile and beaming
00:48:52personality my heart skipped a beat and some of my nerves were put to rest
00:48:59it wasn't until later on our wedding day that I was close to you about my bisexuality where you
00:49:05were completely understanding and accepting of me you have no idea how much that moment meant to me
00:49:11and I knew our lives were going to change for the better to me you are the most beautiful woman
00:49:19I've
00:49:19ever known so intelligent kind you have never once judged me for being me
00:49:28however
00:49:32I would be lying to myself and to you
00:49:34if I were to stand here in front of you and say that I don't have concerns for the relationship
00:49:38on the outside
00:49:40I've sometimes been left thinking am I going to be enough for you and I want you to know
00:49:46I never want you to change and here you are makes you you
00:49:53so Georgia please understand that this decision I've made has been long
00:49:59thought out process and one I've not taken lightly
00:50:08and with that said this decision would have to be the easiest decision of my life
00:50:15on our wedding day in my vows I said I only want to get married once
00:50:20so I'm choosing to stay and fight for this marriage I'm still working out how to be a husband
00:50:25and what a husband is meant to do but with you by my side I know I figured that out
00:50:31I'm proud to have you as my wife and I'm proud to have you as my best friend
00:50:36you are my better half and for that Georgia I love you
00:50:43and I learned to hug you
00:50:55well here we go are you ready are you ready
00:51:05Liam
00:51:07entering into this experiment I was counting on an adventure an experience of a lifetime
00:51:13to learn about myself and to hopefully meet a compatible match who could be my life partner
00:51:19that I take on the world with what I never expected was to meet someone like you
00:51:26I never imagined there could be someone I could have so many shared interests with and be my best friend
00:51:32I started to feel things I'd never felt before the wedding the honeymoon and our final date
00:51:40will forever be some of my most treasured memories
00:51:48but then
00:51:54at the dinner party without warning you turned on me you humiliated me and you degraded me
00:52:00in front of everyone it was obvious how devastated I was and yet you chose to abandon me that night
00:52:08when I needed you the most I've never felt so small inadequate and confused
00:52:21the next day I was met with hostility and defensiveness you gaslighted me
00:52:27you manipulated the blame and you tried to put your insecurities onto me
00:52:32I know who I am and what I stand for and I will not accept that behavior now or ever
00:52:38all I asked for was someone to love me for exactly who I am be open-minded and treat me
00:52:44with respect
00:52:46you did none of these things
00:52:49I understand why you behave the way you do you don't believe you deserve to be loved
00:52:54so instead you self-sabotage and you push people away at some point in your life you must realize
00:53:01that some people can stay in your heart but not in your life because sometimes you need to forget what
00:53:08you feel and remember what you deserve
00:53:17even so
00:53:20i'm giving you another chance
00:53:26i forgive you
00:53:29you've never had someone love you so you don't know how to be loved
00:53:33you protect yourself first because you don't think that anyone else will protect you
00:53:38be open to love be open to what family could really mean
00:53:44today could be the first day of the rest of your life a life full of love and possibilities
00:53:49so don't let it walk away or you might just lose the best thing that ever could have happened to
00:53:55you
00:54:03um
00:54:06yes i love you but hearing those vows you don't know me
00:54:16you don't know me at all
00:54:20i'm so sorry don't be sorry
00:54:29i've never seen this side of you and i think it's a cop in the face that you say that
00:54:34i've done all
00:54:35this to you when this whole experiment i have given you everything i went to every commitment ceremony
00:54:42said how i feel
00:54:44yet you say everything's fine the whole time and now i get here at final vows
00:54:49and you want to show me that no i'm going to show you how it is
00:55:00what was in your court what do you want to do
00:55:05you know i am sorry for what happened at the dinner party but i'm not going to cop that
00:55:11when that there is an outright lie so don't forgive me don't as much as i want to make this
00:55:21work
00:55:22that just shows you don't know me and i'm not going to have a partner who doesn't know me so
00:55:27let's just call it quits
00:55:33fair enough
00:55:33so i'm sorry but that is what it is
00:55:41i'm done
00:55:41so
00:55:47so
00:55:53so
00:55:54so
00:55:54so
00:55:55so
00:55:55so
00:55:57so
00:55:57so
00:56:09so
00:56:10so
00:56:16i don't know
00:56:21maybe i was too honest in my vows
00:56:24so
00:56:24i so wanted it to work
00:56:27all i did was adore him the entire experiment
00:56:34but i don't regret what i said
00:56:36i don't regret what i said
00:57:10i'm so sad
00:57:13because
00:57:18i love him too
00:57:37i've missed belinda so much since i've been back in melbourne in my own little apartment by myself
00:57:43i've been wanting this day to happen for a whole week now
00:57:46this is the most important day of the whole experiment it really is
00:57:50this outfit's all for belinda i like wearing it because it makes me look handsome but it's for belinda
00:57:57it's for belinda
00:57:58bel's different she's different to the rest
00:58:01she accepts me for who i am
00:58:03i am weird i save some weird shits
00:58:06i'm about a six out of ten casual outfits and i'm a nine out of ten in the suit
00:58:10so i reckon belinda's gonna be very happy
00:58:13i've never met a girl who backs me up as much as belinda has
00:58:17that's one of the most important parts in relationship for me and we've been a team throughout
00:58:22the whole experiment since day one really
00:58:26i have really strong feelings towards belinda but i have a bit of a fear of rejection too
00:58:32because i've said some things and she hasn't given me the best response
00:58:35like when i told her that i was falling for her then she said thanks for sharing
00:58:39stuff like that i guess kind of hesitates me a little bit
00:58:43i don't know if her feelings have changed i hope they haven't
00:58:51i've missed pat every day that i've woken up
00:58:58it's like you know i've been with him for so long and um yeah it's been really hard the last
00:59:04week
00:59:07when i came into the experiment i wanted to come this far with my partner but i didn't expect
00:59:13to actually be here and feel the way i do i feel very different from when i came into the
00:59:22experiment
00:59:23from never having a boyfriend this was something that i did want in my life
00:59:28you can dream of it you can wish for it but it's actually here now it's actually happening
00:59:35i'm most afraid that the time we've had apart it's just made pat realize that his life might be
00:59:41better without me it's definitely crossed my mind that my first relationship could end today
00:59:50i've been afraid of opening up to pat and be vulnerable i feel like i did struggle to voice how
00:59:59i was feeling i just feel like if pat turned around and said that he didn't want to continue our
01:00:05relationship on the outside i think i'd just be devastated and heartbroken
01:00:27in
01:00:28belinda has struggled really telling me how she feels throughout the whole experiment and
01:00:34she can't get away from that today she's got to just pour her heart out tell me how it is
01:00:42i've come to a decision now and there's no holding back so i won't be the main issue of belinda
01:00:50is
01:00:50trying to tell me how she's feeling she might be falling for me but she doesn't know how to tell
01:00:56me
01:00:58and i feel i could be completely rejected i'm gonna feel heartbroken i've got no idea what she's gonna
01:01:04say at all at all i just wanted to wait a bit to see if those feelings grew which they
01:01:16did i've had a
01:01:18turning point where i've been like wow my feelings have had they're just real but it is really scary
01:01:26talking about how you feel now i feel like it's time

01:02:54something in my life i never had a relationship and missed out on the joys of romantic dates and
01:03:00shared experiences i was lonely i thought there was something wrong with me i thought i'd never be
01:03:09wanted cared for or needed i hoped the experts would find the person i'd been searching for my
01:03:15whole life that they could find me someone patient and understanding while i learned how to be in a
01:03:22relationship and not always put myself first on our wedding day i had been so afraid that you would
01:03:30not be into me but when you turned around i saw the warmth in your eyes which made me feel
01:03:36wanted and
01:03:37accepted by you you were quirky and different to anyone i had ever met before our intimacy grew
01:03:45and although i knew you were ready to move to the final step you never grew impatient you waited until
01:03:51i was ready our final date was the most romantic experience i've ever had in my whole life that night
