FunTranscript
00:00:01Do you see me as the mother-father of your children? Yes I do see as a father
00:00:04of my children. After seven weeks of marriage, Feedback Week brought some
00:00:10couples closer together. I know you're the best for my wife. Thank you for
00:00:15sending to us that really understand Stephen and I and what we needed. But for
00:00:20others... Sure I'll take that on board. Stephen now I feel like you're getting
00:00:24defensive. I'm not getting defensive of having a conversation. Tensions were at an
00:00:27all-time high. I'm not doing it. No thanks.
00:00:33It was just... As Scott avoided any critical feedback opting to keep the peace in his
00:00:41marriage. I knew if I went too deep I'd be over the balcony. You're absolutely
00:00:48pissing me off. Danny struggled to give Beck a straight answer. Do you think you
00:00:53will fall in love with me? And why? Um... At the dinner party, after weeks of being
00:00:59caught in the crossfire... Oh God. Alyssa tried to put a full stop to the
00:01:05feud between Gia and Beck. Stop using me! Stop using me as a pawn. And Beck and Danny
00:01:12spiralled. I want you to be wary about what you text people. Two months ago Daniel.
00:01:17Ken, that was ten years ago. Come on out. Now. I'm wasting my time at a dinner party talking about
00:01:23abusive text messages. I'm here for a wife and a relationship. I'm not here for drama.
00:01:28Do not sit there in front of everyone and not show solidarity to me. Just pretend for two minutes.
00:01:37Tonight, it's the second last commitment ceremony. You ask a question of like, alright, if we go outside the
00:01:43experiment, how quick would you expect like a proposal? I say the sooner the better. Wow.
00:01:48And some are already locking in plans for married life outside of the experiment.
00:01:53The 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... So last week you said that the noise from the group and around Gia doesn't affect your relationship.
00:02:07Do you still believe that? Will 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... Could you see yourself falling in love with me? Yeah.
00:02:25Why is Danny dodging the question?
00:02:30Um...
00:02:34In 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.
00:03:25It'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, smooching whilst the drama's happening.
00:03:39We tend to do that when people are kicking off, we'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've seen the blokes like Danny and Scott and they're just ready to not talk about high
00:04:01school shit.
00:04:02Like, 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.
00:04:09He's dimmed at the moment.
00:04:11He's just not there.
00:04:12Danny as well.
00:04:13Definitely.
00:04:13Yeah.
00:04:14I always look at him and he's just so withdrawn.
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 Gia 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.
00:04:36How 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,
00:04:52one participant who is not looking forward to seeing the experts is Gia.
00:04:58Last one I walked out, I don't like commitment ceremonies one bit because I hate being vulnerable
00:05:03and talking about my feelings and commitment 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 back.
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.
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.
00:05:33Also, 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 Gia, 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, who had a tense
00:06:14argument 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
00:06:24drama at dinner 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
00:07:21it, and end up with a better understanding of each other and in a stronger place in our
00:07:27relationship.
00:07:28Do you agree?
00:07:28Hmm.
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.
00:07:35I feel absolutely fantastic.
00:07:37Like, I'm not only a wife, I'm a girlfriend, and I know that everything's hunky-dory.
00:07:41Me telling you at the commitment ceremony that I love you, and obviously, I'm in my own
00:07:48head as well, because it's like, shit, like, that's a lot for me to do, ever.
00:07:54Like, you're the first man I've ever told that I love first.
00:07:57Ever.
00:07:58Feedback week, Danny.
00:07:59How's it been?
00:08:01Been an alright week, to be honest.
00:08:03Like, alright is how I'd describe it.
00:08:04Not amazing.
00:08:05Just alright.
00:08:07Obviously, the question to ask, Bec was just overreacting a little bit there.
00:08:12We know that.
00:08:13That'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?
00:08:23No.
00:08:27So, it has sort of scared me that she's got stronger feelings to me than I have to her.
00:08:34Up until last week, when she told me she loved me, I didn't realise she was feeling that strongly
00:08:38towards me.
00:08:39She'd never even told me, like, little soft things to, like, soften it.
00:08:43It was just like, that come out of nowhere.
00:08:45That's why when she told me on the sofa on the couch, I was a bit, like, shocked.
00:08:50My feelings are extremely, extremely strong for Daniel.
00:09:00F*** it.
00:09:01F*** it.
00:09:02I love you.
00:09:05F*** it.
00:09:06F*** it.
00:09:09F*** it.
00:09:09F*** it.
00:09:12F*** it.
00:09:12F*** it.
00:09:12Do you think that you will get there, or are you still not sure?
00:09:15It's hard to tell, to be honest.
00:09:17It's very hard to tell.
00:09:19In regards to intimacy, it's not like I don't want to do it, but it's not like I'm, like,
00:09:27craving to do it as well, like I'm United Mean.
00:09:31Because of constant drama with Bec.
00:09:34So, yeah, that's probably one of the things, the main reason that's holding me back.
00:09:43F*** it.
00:09:59Greetings, gents.
00:10:01Hello.
00:10:02Come on in.
00:10:03Good to see you all.
00:10:04Good evening.
00:10:05Good evening.
00:10:06Hi.
00:10:07Hi, guys.
00:10:20Hi.
00:10:21Hello.
00:10:22Welcome.
00:10:25Settling.
00:10:30Well, greetings everyone, to the second last commitment ceremony.
00:10:35We are very much nearing the pointy end where you have to size up your relationship and really drill down
00:10:44on whether or not you can see a future outside of this experiment with the person that you've been matched
00:10:52with.
00:10:52Now it gets real.
00:10:55Now it gets real.
00:10:56Now in saying that, next week, it is homestays.
00:11:17Now in saying that, next week, it is homestays.
00:11:22It is homestays 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 and to see what's
00:11:44been the impact on your relationships.
00:11:47And of course, we saw some of that last night at the dinner party.
00:11:51It was actually quite shocking to see some of the behaviours 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.
00:12:06Jira 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?
00:12:47I 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 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.
00:13:36Which came out at the dinner party last night.
00:13:39The specifics of it.
00:13:43And there's no getting around that.
00:13:44It's abhorrent.
00:13:47Those words.
00:13:49Those phrases.
00:13:52Towards another member in this experiment.
00:13:57Was appalling.
00:13:59I mean, Bec, the hits keep coming.
00:14:16You know, it's not going to be a big deal of what was said in the texts.
00:14:18It's not going to be a big deal of what was said in the texts.
00:14:19Which 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.
00:14:32Those phrases.
00:14:35Towards another member in this experiment.
00:14:39Was appalling.
00:14:42I mean, Bec, the hits keep coming.
00:14:51Regardless of what bad place you were in,
00:14:53the way in which you did that was malicious and extremely hurtful.
00:15:00And we don't condone it.
00:15:06That's the first part.
00:15:08The second issue is how they were used.
00:15:13And that's where you come into this, Gia.
00:15:15Yep.
00:15:17It was very high school,
00:15:21trying to really get at somebody
00:15:24while hurting another person in the process.
00:15:30It's about choices.
00:15:32It's about choices in terms of what you write in the text.
00:15:36Then it's choices about what you want to do with that
00:15:39in terms of sending it on or not.
00:15:42I know I was wrong.
00:15:45Looking back now, 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
00:15:54that affected me and to defend myself,
00:15:56I was like, well, let me send some screenshots
00:15:58to do something to that person.
00:16:00And it was just like childish behaviour, to be honest.
00:16:02So it was an eye for an eye.
00:16:03Yeah, yeah.
00:16:05OK, 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.
00:16:20But, Gia, one of the things I wanted to ask you was,
00:16:23when you left last week,
00:16:25Scott was sitting here,
00:16:27kind of not really knowing what was going on.
00:16:30And I just wondered whether he was featured
00:16:34in your thinking in that moment.
00:16:37I told him before I ran out,
00:16:39I said, I feel sick, I'm going to leave.
00:16:41Scott, how did you feel
00:16:45when you realised Gia had left?
00:16:50Well, at the time,
00:16:51I was sitting there and going to myself,
00:16:53she's not left me.
00:16:54I just, because I know how close we are.
00:16:56So I'm like, there's no excuse for her to just bail.
00:16:57But then obviously,
00:16:59the only thing I was just a little bit annoyed
00:17:01was just not being told what was going on.
00:17:04Just communication, that's all.
00:17:08But deep down, I knew she didn't run away from me.
00:17:10So, yeah.
00:17:14So last week you said that the noise around your relationship
00:17:18from the group and around Gia
00:17:20doesn't affect your relationship.
00:17:23Do you still believe that?
00:17:28Last week was probably one of the most heaviest weeks
00:17:30we've had in this whole experiment.
00:17:32More so for Gia.
00:17:33She's had a lot to take on herself,
00:17:35not wanting to be here.
00:17:37Um, for a few reasons.
00:17:41There's only so much, you know,
00:17:43I'm here to protect her and cater for her,
00:17:44make sure she's okay and give her reassurance,
00:17:46but there was a lot that happened pretty much every day
00:17:48and I will admit, like,
00:17:52it does make me not be myself.
00:17:58What do you mean?
00:18:00My energy dropped and I just...
00:18:03So I'm just trying to be positive.
00:18:05And it's hard sometimes.
00:18:08But feedback week, yeah, was pretty hard.
00:18:11What was hard about feedback week?
00:18:13Obviously, the commitment ceremony was, you know,
00:18:15I walked out and I wasn't good.
00:18:17You know, that...
00:18:18And I just...
00:18:19I was just feeling off, right?
00:18:21So then I get told I have a feedback date
00:18:24and I'm like, oh, my God, I can't do this.
00:18:27I cannot put myself in a situation like this again
00:18:30where I'm arguing with somebody
00:18:32and I'm like, you know what?
00:18:33I don't want to go on the date.
00:18:35So what did you choose to do?
00:18:36I didn't go on the date.
00:18:40With these challenges that we set,
00:18:44you are certainly taken out of your comfort zone,
00:18:47but they're done for a reason.
00:18:49Here we go.
00:18:50It's all right. It's not.
00:18:52It's always 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.
00:19:06I've been apologising.
00:19:07I've been accountable.
00:19:08I've been changing my behaviour.
00:19:10I just feel like the feedback letter...
00:19:14..I felt like it was an attack on me.
00:19:16The tasks that we received to do,
00:19:19I just found were just, like...
00:19:21..like, not nice.
00:19:23Number one is, Gia, remove yourself
00:19:25from any group chats that you're in.
00:19:28Number two, detox from all social media till final vows.
00:19:34Number three, no physical touch for ten days.
00:19:37And I was like...
00:19:38That's the thing, I think...
00:19:39I took it.
00:19:40This is how I took it.
00:19:41He took it different.
00:19:41I took it as an attack of, like,
00:19:44oh, my God, like, 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,
00:19:57so I'm not sure why.
00:20:00There's just one thing I like to outlay is, like...
00:20:03..whether something's negative or bad
00:20:05or, like, something you don't want to hear or see,
00:20:07we don't need to hold on to it.
00:20:10Because sometimes I feel it does hurt you
00:20:13in a way, deep down,
00:20:14where it's got to be said out loud
00:20:16or people need to know I hate it or, like...
00:20:18..sometimes I feel like you hold on to it
00:20:20with a bit of power behind you
00:20:21and you want to deliver it back to someone.
00:20:25And I feel if we can let go of things a lot easier,
00:20:28we can move past that
00:20:29and then just focus on the other stuff.
00:20:33Because I see the light in everything all the time.
00:20:35Like, these things that are said,
00:20:36that is, it doesn't matter how bad it is.
00:20:38It's not like we're bad people.
00:20:40People just see what...
00:20:41They have an opinion for it.
00:20:42Right, this is your perception, though.
00:20:43For me, for my own personal reasons
00:20:47and what I've been through in life,
00:20:48I felt attacked.
00:20:56I walked into this experiment.
00:20:57I said, even my audition,
00:20:58I don't like negative stuff.
00:21:00I don't like drama.
00:21:01I don't like any of that.
00:21:01I don't want it in my life.
00:21:02And I know Gia's been involved in some of it
00:21:05and we had an agreement.
00:21:06Can you make a promise to me
00:21:07not involve yourself in drama
00:21:09for the rest of this experiment?
00:21:11There's been a few difficult things
00:21:12inside the experiment
00:21:14and I have to know
00:21:16whether it's the pressure in here
00:21:17or whether this is outside as well.
00:21:21Nothing's really affected me in this experiment.
00:21:23The only thing is just the drama stuff.
00:21:24I just, I don't like it.
00:21:26And I just want to make sure
00:21:27and be reassured
00:21:28there's not going to be that shit outside of this
00:21:29because I won't tolerate it.
00:21:30That's it.
00:21:32For me, I don't want someone
00:21:33who's going to retaliate in really bad behaviour.
00:21:35That's what I mean.
00:21:37It's about how you carry yourself...
00:21:38It's just common knowledge.
00:21:39I would never do that.
00:21:40That's what I'm saying.
00:21:40From the stuff that's in the experiment,
00:21:42I don't want to see that outside the experiment.
00:21:44That's all it is.
00:21:44I'm not saying anything bad.
00:21:45It's just what I've seen.
00:21:46Just, 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.
00:21:53I'm just helping.
00:21:53Like...
00:21:54I do nursing.
00:21:55Like, I'm a kind person.
00:21:57I would never, but anyway.
00:21:58I'm not saying you're like that.
00:21:59I'm trying to just say
00:22:00what I'm feeling.
00:22:03Yeah, yeah.
00:22:06She's not going to be happy
00:22:07with him saying that.
00:22:09I guarantee you.
00:22:12Scott's just talking about
00:22:14his experience with you.
00:22:16What he's seen.
00:22:18He can only work with what he's seen.
00:22:20And he has seen you rise to the drama.
00:22:22So he's not saying
00:22:24he knows that that's what
00:22:26you're going to do on the outside.
00:22:27He's saying he knows that
00:22:28that's what you have done
00:22:30within the experiment.
00:22:31So surely that's reasonable.
00:22:33Yeah.
00:22:38F***ing over.
00:22:39Getting slammed, Chris.
00:22:40Yeah.
00:22:41You're not getting slammed, babe.
00:22:42It's nothing.
00:22:45No, I'm all good.
00:22:46I'm sorry.
00:22:47I'm all good.
00:22:47All good.
00:22:47I don't like to cry, you know.
00:22:49Just, I'm fine.
00:22:51Let's just finish this, please.
00:22:53Yep.
00:23:08You're all right.
00:23:09Sorry, I'm all good.
00:23:11Gia, do you feel secure
00:23:12in this relationship?
00:23:14Yeah.
00:23:16What makes you say that?
00:23:18Um, because even when I say
00:23:21I'm going to leave,
00:23:21he's like, no, you can't leave.
00:23:24Um, like, when I, like,
00:23:26lose my mind and, like, spiral,
00:23:28he's always there to, like,
00:23:30be positive and try
00:23:32and turn my mood around.
00:23:33And I feel like he's got me.
00:23:35Yeah.
00:23:36And I can feel like, yeah,
00:23:37I feel secure in this relationship.
00:23:39What about you, Scott?
00:23:43Well, the thing is, like,
00:23:45yes, we face these hard things
00:23:46and we're not perfect people,
00:23:49but I see so many good things about you
00:23:53and that's why I'm here.
00:23:54Like, you're such a beautiful person.
00:23:56Like, we've had a rough week,
00:23:57but we always come back to each other.
00:23:58So you feel secure in this relationship?
00:24:00100%, yeah, I feel secure.
00:24:03We just have these little hurdles
00:24:04to get through,
00:24:05understand one another, you know,
00:24:07and keep pursuing our life together.
00:24:12All right, well, let's go to the decision.
00:24:14Let's go with you first, Scott.
00:24:18I'm grateful that we're still here together
00:24:20and then we got through
00:24:20and we're still smiling
00:24:21and I cannot wait for homestays.
00:24:24It's all right to stay
00:24:25and happy two months to my beautiful wife.
00:24:27Aw.
00:24:27That's cute.
00:24:29Gia, stay or leave?
00:24:31Um, I know I need to work on some things
00:24:33and I'm committed to doing that
00:24:35because, like, he's worth it
00:24:36and I need to, like, grow as a person.
00:24:38I can't keep doing these behaviours
00:24:40that I've been doing
00:24:41and I know I'm wrong for that.
00:24:42So, um, I'm just going to be positive this week
00:24:45and move forward
00:24:45and we're going to be in our swimsuits
00:24:47at the beach on the Gold Coast.
00:24:50So, we're going to stay.
00:24:51Oh, 40s.
00:24:52I've got square boobs.
00:24:53I don't know why,
00:24:53but that's a bikini.
00:24:55That's a bikini.
00:24:56OK, well, I know that
00:24:57that was a very intense session
00:25:00and it's so important for you guys
00:25:02to not brush things under the carpet.
00:25:06I know, Scott, you've mentioned
00:25:07that you like to look on the bright side of life,
00:25:11move forward as fast as you can,
00:25:13leave the past behind.
00:25:14Problem is, if you do that all the time,
00:25:17you don't address the issues that are there.
00:25:20And rather than saying,
00:25:21it's just going to be OK, forget about it,
00:25:24actually instead go, well, tell me more.
00:25:27And for you, Gia, what's really important
00:25:29is that if there's an issue
00:25:30that comes up from Scott,
00:25:33that you stay with it,
00:25:34rather 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,
00:25:44we can do something different moving forward.
00:25:47That'll help us a lot, to be honest.
00:25:49Because, like, sometimes I want to bring things up
00:25:52and then I get a bit scared
00:25:53because I don't want you to get the wrong ideas
00:25:55if I'm trying to attack you.
00:25:57It's because I genuinely care
00:25:59and I just want to fix a few little things
00:26:01that'll help both of us.
00:26:02Yep.
00:26:02So I really love what you just said.
00:26:04Now with that, have a great week
00:26:06and we'll see you next time.
00:26:07Thanks, guys.
00:26:08Well done, guys.
00:26:09Cheers.
00:26:10Have a great week.
00:26:27Still to come...
00:26:30What has Sam in tears?
00:26:35And later...
00:26:36Could you see yourself falling in love with me?
00:26:39Danny is put in the hot seat.
00:26:42I think I misinterpreted the question.
00:26:45Because it's a pretty black and white question.
00:27:02Next up...
00:27:04Rachel and Stephen.
00:27:09Hello.
00:27:10Welcome.
00:27:11Hi.
00:27:11Welcome, welcome.
00:27:12It's nice to see you.
00:27:14Oh, yeah.
00:27:16Feedback week.
00:27:17Tell us about feedback week.
00:27:19Um, I actually think feedback week
00:27:21was great for Stephen and I.
00:27:23We started off with the first tasks of questions.
00:27:26The question of, you know, saying,
00:27:29can 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.
00:27:38Because in terms of the way we view our lives in the future,
00:27:43they very much align.
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.
00:27:55I got some really good advice from Alyssa
00:27:58of trying to be a bit more of a leader.
00:28:01Which we saw.
00:28:02We saw we were very impressed.
00:28:04Oh, you saw that?
00:28:05At the dinner party.
00:28:07You did have a moment at the dinner party
00:28:10where you stood up to the group
00:28:11and you spoke on behalf of the relationship
00:28:14in such a mature, such a take charge,
00:28:18such a masculine, such a all there kind of way.
00:28:25We were very impressed
00:28:26and we were literally cheering that on.
00:28:29It was a really, really good moment
00:28:31to see Rachel beaming.
00:28:33Because you were beaming,
00:28:35you were so proud of your man speaking up to the group.
00:28:41Setting those boundaries for the group
00:28:43and for the two of you.
00:28:44Well, I'm going to implement that not just for one day.
00:28:46It's going to be just in the relationship.
00:28:48I've got to put my captain's socks, undies and hat on
00:28:52and, yeah, take a bit of charge and leadership.
00:28:57Captain, I like it.
00:28:58Captain Steve-o.
00:29:00I'm going to get a hat for him.
00:29:04How did it feel in the moment
00:29:06to speak to the group the way that you did
00:29:08and to ascertain those boundaries
00:29:10and make yourself be heard so clearly?
00:29:14I know I'm pretty quiet in the dinner parties
00:29:16and I sort of like to keep things to myself
00:29:19because I feel like it's just a little bit easier
00:29:21to keep your mouth closed.
00:29:23In some situations,
00:29:25I guess it was good to, you know,
00:29:27finally be heard.
00:29:30I can imagine so.
00:29:34You guys have really been a bit of a slow burn
00:29:37but every week we start to see something emerge,
00:29:42the 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, Steve-o,
00:29:53in 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,
00:30:04I feel like I've come such a long way
00:30:06from the wedding
00:30:07and the ups and downs that we've had.
00:30:09So, feeling, yeah, really good.
00:30:12Rachel, for you towards him,
00:30:14what's going on inside of you?
00:30:16So, I really like Stephen.
00:30:19I've been very clear about that.
00:30:21I'm very connected with Stephen.
00:30:23It's just so comfortable to be ourselves
00:30:26and have fun and, you know,
00:30:28it's just amazing.
00:30:29And so, I'm at the point now
00:30:32where my man is leaving
00:30:33and he is actually starting to show me
00:30:35what my life here in Sydney could look like.
00:30:41That really shows,
00:30:43through your body language,
00:30:44which is just how close
00:30:47and comfortable you are
00:30:49with one another
00:30:50and loving, dare I say it.
00:30:55Are we reading this correctly?
00:30:57Does it feel comfortable
00:30:58to be sitting like that?
00:30:59This is common, you know,
00:31:01in the apartment.
00:31:03Now you're showing off.
00:31:06Mate.
00:31:09So, with that in mind,
00:31:10we're going to go to a decision.
00:31:11Yeah.
00:31:12Let's kick it off with you, Rachel.
00:31:17This is a huge shock, I know,
00:31:19but I've written stay
00:31:20and I put, like, the sun
00:31:22and, like, that's water
00:31:23from our little beach days.
00:31:26Cute.
00:31:27And Steve-O.
00:31:28I like where this is going,
00:31:30so why would I do anything else
00:31:32besides stay?
00:31:38Good on you guys.
00:31:39Thank you so much.
00:31:40Well done.
00:31:41Great.
00:31:42Thank you so much.
00:31:43You did it.
00:31:43You did it.
00:31:45Thank you so much.
00:31:50High fives.
00:31:51That was 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.
00:32:20How we doing?
00:32:23Well, I've got to say,
00:32:25this is a very different energy
00:32:27from the two of you,
00:32:28not what we're used to at all.
00:32:31You're like a very different couple right now.
00:32:33Yeah.
00:32:36Do you want to let us in?
00:32:40Chris, you don't look very happy.
00:32:42No, I'm just like, um...
00:32:44Like, first of all,
00:32:46you asked me a question last week.
00:32:48Are you starting to envision a life
00:32:49outside of the experiment?
00:32:50I thought it was admirable
00:32:52that I was actually thinking
00:32:53after the experiment,
00:32:54and I said, perhaps, potentially,
00:32:55Sam based himself in Sydney.
00:32:57It came from a really good place.
00:33:00But Sam was upset
00:33:01that I didn't consult him
00:33:02before answering the question
00:33:03that you asked me.
00:33:05And then he said to me,
00:33:0610 minutes prior to the dinner party,
00:33:08your three apologies weren't genuine enough.
00:33:10I'm going to bring it up
00:33:11in front of the group.
00:33:12We could have facilitated that
00:33:14in the apartment
00:33:15in a more private,
00:33:17controlled environment.
00:33:19I feel like I've, um,
00:33:21you know,
00:33:21been dragged through the coals.
00:33:22All right, I'm just going to go to Sam
00:33:24because there's something
00:33:24I just want to clarify here.
00:33:26Why was it that you felt
00:33:27the need to bring this up
00:33:29in that group context?
00:33:31I wanted feedback from the group.
00:33:33I can go talk to my friends,
00:33:34you can go talk to your friends,
00:33:36and we can try and, like,
00:33:37see if we can move past this
00:33:40because I just couldn't see
00:33:41getting to a conclusion
00:33:42with just the two of us
00:33:43because I was just getting shut down.
00:33:46That's why.
00:33:49There are some pretty big lifestyle changes
00:33:52ahead of the two of you.
00:33:54Chris has got children coming.
00:33:56Yeah.
00:33:56You know, Chris has the farm.
00:33:58Yeah.
00:33:59And, you know,
00:34:00clearly life's going to be
00:34:02very much rooted
00:34:03around Chris's existing world.
00:34:05Yeah.
00:34:05And a lot of movement
00:34:07and compromise on your part, Sam.
00:34:10Is this the elephant
00:34:12in the room here
00:34:13for the two of you?
00:34:16Does it feel like
00:34:18it'll be you making
00:34:19all of the sacrifice?
00:34:22I'll be making big moves.
00:34:24Yeah, so 90% of the sacrifice
00:34:25would be on me
00:34:26to, like, fit into Chris's life,
00:34:28which is fine.
00:34:29Like, I know that.
00:34:31I'm prepared to do that
00:34:32if we fall for each other,
00:34:33but I just
00:34:35didn't want to feel like
00:34:36I had no say
00:34:37in even how that would look.
00:34:39I just feel like
00:34:40there could be
00:34:40a bit more empathy
00:34:41around the fact
00:34:42that there's a lot
00:34:43that I have to change
00:34:43and I would have really liked
00:34:44if you discussed that
00:34:45with me before.
00:34:49How does that sit with you, Chris?
00:34:51Yeah.
00:34:54My answer to you
00:34:55was coming from a good place.
00:34:58That question that you asked me,
00:34:59are you thinking about life
00:35:00outside of this experiment,
00:35:01which I thought
00:35:02was such a cute question.
00:35:04That question
00:35:05has now, like, spiraled
00:35:06into something
00:35:08so much bigger
00:35:09than what we had anticipated
00:35:10and it's put a huge rift
00:35:12between us, obviously,
00:35:13and, um, yeah.
00:35:15Sam,
00:35:17I've been watching you
00:35:18and you look a bit withdrawn.
00:35:22What has all this,
00:35:23do you feel, Sam,
00:35:24done to your relationship?
00:35:27To be honest, like,
00:35:28it's really sad
00:35:30because you guys saw me
00:35:31at the last commitment ceremony
00:35:32and I even wrote
00:35:33in my journal afterwards
00:35:34that a life with Chris
00:35:35could be magical and amazing
00:35:37and it's just, like,
00:35:39taking the feet out
00:35:39from underneath me.
00:35:41Um, yeah.
00:35:44It sucks.
00:35:47Chris, one of the things
00:35:49I said to you,
00:35:49very curious,
00:35:50because essentially
00:35:52you were in a great place
00:35:53a week ago
00:35:54and then Sam
00:35:56has brought something up
00:35:57gently to just say,
00:35:58you know,
00:35:59I felt a little bit excluded.
00:36:00I thought
00:36:02that would have
00:36:03brought you closer
00:36:04but, in fact,
00:36:05the reaction he got
00:36:07pushes him away
00:36:09rather than brings him close.
00:36:11Yeah.
00:36:13And one of the things
00:36:14I went to is,
00:36:16did you take Sam's reaction
00:36:18as some,
00:36:19something of a rejection?
00:36:24Because what I'm thinking
00:36:26is that your anger
00:36:28was coming from hurt
00:36:29and fear
00:36:30and it often does.
00:36:32You've taken it
00:36:33very personally
00:36:34and I want to put that to you.
00:36:36If that's the case,
00:36:37what might that be about?
00:36:42Maybe just
00:36:42unsuccessful relationships,
00:36:45in the past,
00:36:46you know,
00:36:47like, yeah,
00:36:47and I have been hurt a lot.
00:36:51Here's the thing.
00:36:53He's bringing this conversation
00:36:55up in front of the group
00:36:57not because he wants
00:36:58to throw you under the bus
00:37:00but because he wants
00:37:01to be able to talk to you
00:37:02and he feels like he can't
00:37:04to the point
00:37:05where he's too scared
00:37:06to bring up
00:37:07a conversation with you
00:37:08and he needs to take it
00:37:09to a larger group.
00:37:11That has got to get you
00:37:13starting to look
00:37:14at yourself
00:37:15and how
00:37:16you're talking.
00:37:18This is a real
00:37:19moment
00:37:20of truth for you
00:37:21because
00:37:22a communication style
00:37:24has contributed
00:37:25to the real crisis
00:37:28that you're in now.
00:37:31That doesn't mean
00:37:32that you can't recover
00:37:33and tonight
00:37:35is one of those
00:37:35absolute key crossroads
00:37:37for you, Chris.
00:37:39Mm-hmm.
00:37:40Yeah.
00:37:45All right,
00:37:45let's go to the decision.
00:37:48Let's go with you first,
00:37:49Chris.
00:37:49Stay or leave?
00:37:51I've been going
00:37:52back and forth
00:37:52the last couple of days
00:37:54and I've actually decided
00:37:56that I need
00:37:57and I want to go
00:37:58put my dad hat on
00:37:59and I would like to leave.
00:38:16and I would like to leave.
00:38:17All right,
00:38:17let's go to the decision.
00:38:18Let's go with you first,
00:38:19Chris.
00:38:20Stay or leave?
00:38:21I've been going back and forth
00:38:22the last couple of days
00:38:24and I've actually decided
00:38:26that I need
00:38:27and I want to go
00:38:28put my dad hat on
00:38:29and I would like to leave.
00:38:43No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:38:52It's a huge turnaround
00:38:54from last week.
00:38:56Yeah.
00:38:59I just think that
00:39:00I need to concentrate on
00:39:02this next thing that's coming
00:39:03and he's going to be,
00:39:05he's an amazing guy
00:39:05and he'll be amazing for someone.
00:39:07I just don't think it's me
00:39:08for the moment.
00:39:22Sam, what's going on
00:39:23for you right now?
00:39:30I just didn't see that coming.
00:39:32I thought...
00:39:37I thought, you know,
00:39:38this is the first hiccup we've had
00:39:39and we'd both come into this
00:39:41ready to take on feedback
00:39:44and then try and implement that
00:39:46and see if that could help.
00:39:49And it just hurts
00:39:50to be like,
00:39:51you've just given up
00:39:54because it got tough
00:39:55for a few days.
00:40:00So, yeah,
00:40:01I just can't believe it.
00:40:05Let's go to your decision then, Sam.
00:40:07What have you got?
00:40:08As much as Chris gave up
00:40:09a lot to be here,
00:40:10I gave up a lot
00:40:10and I was...
00:40:11I wanted to leave here
00:40:12with absolutely no regrets
00:40:14either way,
00:40:15like, 100% knowing
00:40:16if Chris was the guy for me.
00:40:18Right now,
00:40:19I feel like
00:40:20I would have regrets
00:40:21and I wouldn't know completely
00:40:22if we could have made it work.
00:40:24Like, I was prepared
00:40:26to take on anything
00:40:26you guys had to say
00:40:27and try and...
00:40:28Ah.
00:40:29Put it into work.
00:40:38Well, as you know,
00:40:40in this experiment,
00:40:41the rules are
00:40:41if one person says stay
00:40:42and the other person says leave,
00:40:44the couple stays
00:40:45for another week
00:40:46and they work
00:40:47on the relationship.
00:40:49It might seem like
00:40:51a lost cause,
00:40:52but frankly,
00:40:52we see couples
00:40:54absolutely turn things around
00:40:56in one week.
00:41:01but it will require
00:41:02some heavy lifting
00:41:04from the both of you.
00:41:05Ah.
00:41:10I mean,
00:41:10the one thing
00:41:11about you two right now
00:41:12is that it's not friendly.
00:41:14So when you think about
00:41:16how you're going
00:41:16to take on this week
00:41:17to start talking
00:41:19to one another
00:41:19in a respectful way
00:41:21and acting
00:41:22in a considerate way
00:41:23and from there
00:41:25you can start
00:41:26to see
00:41:26how it changes
00:41:28your relationship.
00:41:30Let me remind you
00:41:31it was only a week ago
00:41:32that you were loved
00:41:33up on that couch
00:41:34excited about
00:41:35the future.
00:41:40But with a weenus
00:41:41can come change
00:41:45and all you've got
00:41:45to do
00:41:46is treat each other
00:41:47in a friendly way.
00:41:52All right.
00:41:53Thank you both.
00:41:55Good work tonight.
00:41:56Well done.
00:41:56That was hard.
00:42:05Well done, darlings.
00:42:10Well done, guys.
00:42:15I'll just be a guy.
00:42:21Okay, our next couple
00:42:22on the couch
00:42:24Alyssa and David.
00:42:25Oh.
00:42:29Hello, you two.
00:42:30Hello.
00:42:30Hello.
00:42:31Welcome.
00:42:34Towers Feedback Week
00:42:35for you guys.
00:42:36So obviously
00:42:37Feedback Week
00:42:38started with some receipts
00:42:39from Juliet.
00:42:41From last couch session.
00:42:43that we had
00:42:44that was the start
00:42:45of our Feedback Week
00:42:47which was kind of negative.
00:42:49You hear about
00:42:50oh, just some messages
00:42:51but they were actually
00:42:52really vicious.
00:42:54Yeah, it wasn't okay.
00:42:56It definitely was a fresh
00:42:57it was fresh hurt
00:42:58for David and I.
00:43:00Yeah, look
00:43:02seeing those text messages
00:43:03just reopened wounds
00:43:05that were obviously
00:43:06closing over.
00:43:08Obviously it was a negative
00:43:09vibe to Feedback Week.
00:43:11We didn't want to see that
00:43:12but it came to us
00:43:13but it came to us
00:43:13so, yeah.
00:43:15Yeah, moving on from that.
00:43:18Feedback Week
00:43:19actually went really well
00:43:20because we managed
00:43:22to talk about
00:43:22some things.
00:43:24Yeah, we talked about
00:43:24a plan for when we left
00:43:26the experiment.
00:43:26What that was going to look like,
00:43:28you know,
00:43:28a bit of long distance maybe
00:43:29and then figure out
00:43:31like if we're moving
00:43:32to maybe Adelaide.
00:43:36It's obviously, you know,
00:43:38getting to an age
00:43:39and the next couple of years
00:43:40I want to have a family
00:43:41and I want to be
00:43:43in Adelaide for that
00:43:45and that was something
00:43:46that I hadn't talked
00:43:47to David about
00:43:48but he was amazing.
00:43:49He was like,
00:43:50I understand if you need
00:43:51to be with your family
00:43:52and you need extra support
00:43:53then we're going to move
00:43:54to Adelaide.
00:43:54And I understand
00:43:55raising kids
00:43:56is not an easy task
00:43:57so, you know,
00:43:58she's obviously got
00:43:58her family there,
00:43:59her mom and her mom's
00:44:01a legend.
00:44:03Alyssa would be
00:44:03a fantastic mother.
00:44:05She notices everything
00:44:06about me,
00:44:07you know what I'm saying?
00:44:07Like she helps me a lot.
00:44:10I did say though,
00:44:11I did say...
00:44:12You did say something.
00:44:13I did say though,
00:44:13she reminds me of my mother.
00:44:16She might be like,
00:44:17don't wear that shirt.
00:44:18It doesn't like,
00:44:19it doesn't look good on you.
00:44:20Like just straight to the point
00:44:21and direct.
00:44:22That's what my mother would do
00:44:24so that's what makes me know
00:44:25that she's got deep feelings
00:44:26and she cares
00:44:27because like she tells me
00:44:28things that challenge me,
00:44:30you know,
00:44:30and she doesn't just settle.
00:44:32Like she's always looking to grow.
00:44:34She brings out the best in me as well
00:44:35and I think that's someone
00:44:37I need in my life,
00:44:38someone who's always going to
00:44:39push me to be better.
00:44:40Hmm.
00:44:41So you're in a good place, guys.
00:44:43I feel like we're,
00:44:45we're the strongest
00:44:46we've ever been.
00:44:47Yeah.
00:44:47Like right now.
00:44:48Yeah.
00:44:49That's great.
00:44:50Yeah.
00:44:51Brilliant.
00:44:52Let's go to the decision.
00:44:54Alyssa, what'll it be?
00:44:55Well, obviously
00:44:56got an exciting week
00:44:58coming up.
00:44:58Mm-hmm.
00:44:59Home stay.
00:44:59Home stay.
00:45:00I'm about to convince you
00:45:01that you might like Adelaide,
00:45:03so stay.
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 to Adelaide.
00:45:15Oh, you're getting adventurous
00:45:17with his love.
00:45:17Take me home, baby.
00:45:18I love it.
00:45:19Ready to go.
00:45:20Yeah.
00:45:21There has been some really
00:45:23tough times for you guys,
00:45:25and you've just turned
00:45:27toward each other,
00:45:28backed each other,
00:45:29and supported each other
00:45:30like a real team.
00:45:32Thanks, guys.
00:45:34Well done.
00:45:43Coming up...
00:45:45Frankly, when I watch you
00:45:46on the couch,
00:45:47you seem uncomfortable.
00:45:49The experts apply
00:45:51the pressure to Danny.
00:45:52If you could do it
00:45:53over again,
00:45:54how would you answer it?
00:45:56I'd just say yes.
00:45:58Yes what?
00:45:59I could see myself
00:46:00all in love with you.
00:46:01Yeah.
00:46:01That's as simple as that.
00:46:03And would that be the truth?
00:46:18Our next couple
00:46:20up on the couch,
00:46:22Philip and Stella.
00:46:24Ooh!
00:46:28Hello.
00:46:29Hello, hello.
00:46:30Hi.
00:46:31Welcome.
00:46:32Hi.
00:46:33Last week was
00:46:34a little bit tough
00:46:36for you two
00:46:36on the couch.
00:46:38I see such a different
00:46:40energy just
00:46:41walking up to the couch.
00:46:44I really want to thank
00:46:45Mel for her advice.
00:46:47Focus on the emotional
00:46:48safety that he's
00:46:49providing and giving me.
00:46:51And it's such a simple
00:46:52thing when you think,
00:46:53but I didn't think about it
00:46:55and that was just
00:46:56like a penny drop
00:46:57moment for me.
00:46:58I really want to
00:47:00thank you guys
00:47:00because I think
00:47:01if not the confinements
00:47:02of the experiment
00:47:03probably would be
00:47:04a different story
00:47:05at the end of the day.
00:47:06So, yeah, thank you.
00:47:08It's these uncomfortable
00:47:09chats that need to happen.
00:47:11It's not you 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
00:47:15tremendously.
00:47:16Yeah.
00:47:17Great to hear.
00:47:17We ended up having a good week.
00:47:19She was a lot more gentler,
00:47:21like, you know,
00:47:22coming and leading
00:47:22with kindness.
00:47:23She's just been a little
00:47:24bit more gentle
00:47:25just with her delivery.
00:47:26I can see sometimes
00:47:26she just,
00:47:27as she sometimes
00:47:28starts talking,
00:47:29she'll just stop
00:47:29and then she'll just
00:47:30go a little bit softer.
00:47:32Just things like that,
00:47:33you know,
00:47:33just little subtle differences
00:47:34that you can tell.
00:47:36Like, yeah,
00:47:36don't get me wrong,
00:47:36Stella's still stellar,
00:47:37but, you know,
00:47:38but she's a little bit,
00:47:40yeah,
00:47:40she's a little bit
00:47:42different energy
00:47:42and we actually
00:47:43had a really,
00:47:44really good week.
00:47:45Go ask the question
00:47:46of, like,
00:47:46all right,
00:47:46if we go outside
00:47:47of the experiment,
00:47:48how quick would you expect
00:47:49like a proposal
00:47:50or something like that
00:47:51just to, like,
00:47:51fully escalate things?
00:47:53You know,
00:47:54you're just asking randomly,
00:47:54just throw it out there.
00:47:55It's a free question.
00:47:57I said
00:47:58six to 12 months
00:47:59and Stella was just,
00:48:00like, ASAP.
00:48:02So it's just kind of like...
00:48:03I said the sooner
00:48:03the better.
00:48:04Wow.
00:48:07Sometimes I thought
00:48:07that, like,
00:48:08I was fully over-invested
00:48:09and I was showing too much
00:48:11because that's a general
00:48:12trade of mine.
00:48:12I just go all in,
00:48:14you know,
00:48:14I show all my cards,
00:48:15here they are,
00:48:15you know,
00:48:16I never really hold back.
00:48:17That's kind of like
00:48:18a trade of mine
00:48:19but it was good
00:48:20to get the reassurance.
00:48:22But, yeah, we...
00:48:22Can I just point out
00:48:22something that's quite
00:48:24stark for you,
00:48:25Stella?
00:48:27Last week,
00:48:28you were essentially
00:48:29pushing him away
00:48:30and creating that space
00:48:32and this week
00:48:33you're saying
00:48:34you want a real-life
00:48:35proposal ASAP.
00:48:37Well,
00:48:37let's put it that way.
00:48:38I didn't say
00:48:39I would like a proposal.
00:48:40That was a free question.
00:48:41Let's clarify.
00:48:42And I got really shy.
00:48:44I got really uncomfortable
00:48:45and I said
00:48:46the sooner the better,
00:48:46you know.
00:48:47The sooner the better.
00:48:48Yeah, so...
00:48:48But still,
00:48:49the stark contrast
00:48:49against from last week.
00:48:51How does that feel
00:48:51from your perspective?
00:48:54Like, I'm crazy.
00:48:55sense of it.
00:48:55It would be confusing.
00:48:57No, it could have not been crazy
00:48:58but it's just...
00:48:59It's extreme.
00:48:59Can't really give up.
00:49:00It's extreme
00:49:01and it has an emotional impact.
00:49:03Nah, 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,
00:49:10the real deal,
00:49:11you know?
00:49:11When you think about the future,
00:49:13is this something
00:49:14that you can see
00:49:15for 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
00:49:24that the first thing I noticed
00:49:25was the way you looked at him again.
00:49:27Oh.
00:49:28Yeah, I'm in love again.
00:49:29You were back into that
00:49:30sort of starry-eyed interaction
00:49:32where you gaze at him
00:49:34in extended ways.
00:49:37Oh, you're going to make me cry.
00:49:40We just...
00:49:41We lost that last week.
00:49:42Yeah.
00:49:43I would say
00:49:44I just fell back into my feelings,
00:49:46into my body,
00:49:47into showing up for myself
00:49:48and then showing up for him
00:49:49because if I don't show up for myself,
00:49:51I can't show up for him
00:49:52and that's the main difference.
00:49:54And ultimately,
00:49:54I think you had to get out of your head
00:49:56and into your heart,
00:49:58which is ultimately
00:50:00what we were trying to get you to do.
00:50:02Mm.
00:50:03All right.
00:50:03Well, with that being the case,
00:50:05let's go to the decision.
00:50:07Stay or leave?
00:50:07The decision is very simple
00:50:09and being back into my heart.
00:50:12Ah-ha.
00:50:13Have a beautiful stay.
00:50:14Excellent.
00:50:14Look at that, eh?
00:50:15Perfect.
00:50:16Love it.
00:50:17And, Philip,
00:50:18it's a stay.
00:50:20Strong.
00:50:21Strong stay.
00:50:22Strong stay.
00:50:23Strong servant.
00:50:24Strong servant.
00:50:25Well, thank you.
00:50:26We really...
00:50:27I personally really appreciate
00:50:28the advices that you guys give.
00:50:29Good work.
00:50:31Will do.
00:50:32Thanks again.
00:50:41And our final couple up on the couch,
00:50:44Bec and Danny.
00:50:46Ooh, I'm scared.
00:50:55Right.
00:50:56Feedback week.
00:50:57How was it?
00:50:59Do you want to...
00:50:59You talk.
00:51:00I'll talk.
00:51:00It's been good.
00:51:01It was challenging to begin with.
00:51:03But it ended really, really well.
00:51:06Why was it challenging?
00:51:10So, obviously, like, I told Danny
00:51:13that I'm in love with him.
00:51:15The last commitment ceremony.
00:51:16You certainly did.
00:51:19It's how I feel.
00:51:20So I'm going to say it.
00:51:24And I meant it.
00:51:26But when we sort of did the questions,
00:51:29there was one question that came up was,
00:51:31can you see yourself falling in love with me?
00:51:35And Danny didn't say no,
00:51:36but he sort of um-denied a little bit
00:51:38and I just spiralled.
00:51:42So what was his exact answer?
00:51:47Potentially, yes, I assume so.
00:51:49Oh, no.
00:51:51So how did that feel?
00:51:53Um, I was upset.
00:51:54I was hurt and I was kind of embarrassed.
00:52:01I thought that he would have said,
00:52:05I'm not there yet, but yes.
00:52:07I just thought that it...
00:52:09..that he would be a little bit further along
00:52:12than potentially, yes, I assume so.
00:52:14But I need to allow Daniel to be on his journey
00:52:20in this relationship and I'll be on mine
00:52:23and don't regret it.
00:52:24Be me.
00:52:27I'm in love.
00:52:29He's not there yet.
00:52:30Don't allow that fact to ruin
00:52:33how good it feels for me.
00:52:39Danny.
00:52:40Sorry, sorry.
00:52:44Danny.
00:52:48Let's go to that discussion, shall we?
00:52:50And when the question got asked,
00:52:52tell us again what you said
00:52:53and then why you said it.
00:52:56Well,
00:52:58the question's asked sometimes I struggle with,
00:53:01to 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?
00:53:13Because it's a pretty black and white question.
00:53:25If you want to know what I looked like 12 months ago,
00:53:28this is it.
00:53:29This is the last time I went surfing.
00:53:32Basically, it was overhead height,
00:53:33but I realised the surf's a bit beyond my level.
00:53:36I tried pulling off the wave,
00:53:37I could see a sandbank,
00:53:39and I went straight down,
00:53:41head first, onto my fin.
00:53:43I was surprised I came out alive,
00:53:46to be honest.
00:53:47Surfing is a beautiful thing,
00:53:49but honestly,
00:53:49I've just been too scared to get back out there.
00:53:51I remember you were walking up,
00:53:53and I don't know if it was that
00:53:55you could see the blood or something,
00:53:56but you started running.
00:53:57Well, I got closer,
00:53:58and the dude said to me,
00:53:59I was like, what'd she do?
00:54:00And he's like,
00:54:01dude, she has the most gnarly fin shop
00:54:02I've ever seen.
00:54:0419 stitches.
00:54:05Honestly, I looked like Harry Potter.
00:54:07The doctors in hospital said,
00:54:09you cannot have a knock like this again.
00:54:10The concussion you had next time,
00:54:13it won't be okay.
00:54:18Fear for me in gymnastics
00:54:19actually ended up stopping me.
00:54:21I would pull out of skills,
00:54:22but you think you're going to commit,
00:54:24you say to yourself,
00:54:25I can do this,
00:54:27and in the middle,
00:54:28you're like, I'm too scared,
00:54:29and you literally land on your head.
00:54:31You're actually hurting yourself,
00:54:33but you're not trying to hurt yourself.
00:54:36And I was getting severely injured daily.
00:54:37I saw sports psychologists,
00:54:39and no matter what they said,
00:54:41I couldn't stop.
00:54:42That was a mental challenge
00:54:43I couldn't overcome,
00:54:44because I knew gymnastics
00:54:45was going to be taken away from me.
00:54:47I learned to accept it in gymnastics,
00:54:50but I'm not accepting this in surf.
00:54:52I have a background
00:54:52in fitness coaching, counselling.
00:54:54I'm always trying to show to people,
00:54:55you can do anything.
00:54:56And so it's a little bit like your imposter,
00:54:59because there's one part of you
00:55:01that you can't get past,
00:55:02but you'd expect that from others.
00:55:04I'm a go-getter.
00:55:05I don't let anything stop me,
00:55:06and this is the one thing
00:55:08that's stopping me.
00:55:09So if I can do this today,
00:55:11I can get back on that path.
00:55:14But yeah, I am a bit nervous.
00:55:20I feel incredibly apprehensive.
00:55:24The fluttering chest is not stopping,
00:55:26and I'm just hoping
00:55:28that today's going to be OK.
00:55:29The worst thing that can happen
00:55:31is a redo of last year,
00:55:34and that better not happen today.
00:55:37My confidence can't.
00:55:38My confidence can't handle it.
00:55:41I can't have another crash like that.
00:55:43Like, it really, really impacted my confidence.
00:55:48And that's not like me.
00:55:50Like, I'm known as a person
00:55:51that's a go-getter
00:55:52and doesn't stop
00:55:53and doesn't let fear stop them.
00:55:54So 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
00:56:04as this confident person.
00:56:05They don't get...
00:56:07I am petrified.
00:56:10Oh.
00:56:19I think I misinterpreted the question.
00:56:24But the question,
00:56:25what was it like?
00:56:26It was a bit...
00:56:26Could you see yourself
00:56:27falling in love with me?
00:56:28Because it's a pretty
00:56:29black and white question.
00:56:39It, from my point of view,
00:56:41I don't feel, as a man,
00:56:44like, if I give back my word on something,
00:56:47I'm always going to stand to that.
00:56:50And I don't think saying,
00:56:53yes, I can 100% fall in love with you
00:56:55would be the right thing to say
00:56:57because it's almost making a promise,
00:56:59which I don't think you can promise that
00:57:00before you're in love with someone.
00:57:04But let's just remind ourselves,
00:57:06the question wasn't,
00:57:08do you promise that you will fall in love with me?
00:57:11Yeah, I know, John, 100%.
00:57:12It was,
00:57:13can you see yourself
00:57:14falling in love with me?
00:57:18Yeah.
00:57:19And do you know what?
00:57:20Like, 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.
00:57:29I made a mistake.
00:57:30I'm only human.
00:57:32Like, I didn't,
00:57:33I didn't mean to make Beck feel like that.
00:57:35It wasn't my intention.
00:57:38When, when we revisited it,
00:57:41I, um...
00:57:42We talked about it.
00:57:43Yeah, we talked about it.
00:57:45And we patched it up, you know?
00:57:50Um, yeah, I just...
00:57:52I made a mistake.
00:57:54It's all right, baby.
00:57:58Danny, I've got a question,
00:58:00because I'm curious.
00:58:02Frankly, when I watch you on the couch,
00:58:05you seem uncomfortable.
00:58:09I do find this uncomfortable,
00:58:11to 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,
00:58:19because obviously it's more for Beck.
00:58:21If I had it my way,
00:58:23I wouldn't be here, no chance.
00:58:24But we need this, baby.
00:58:25But is it more for Beck?
00:58:30100%.
00:58:33Like, a lot of blokes do things
00:58:35they don't want to do,
00:58:36because of their...
00:58:36Hold on a second, doll.
00:58:37One second, babe.
00:58:39Adore you so much.
00:58:41I love you, actually.
00:58:43But...
00:58:44This is not all for me, doll.
00:58:46No, I know that they're like...
00:58:47You're being...
00:58:47They're helping you too.
00:58:49Trust me.
00:58:52These couch sessions
00:58:53are not just for Beck.
00:58:54You signed up to the experiment
00:58:56on your own.
00:58:58Saying that you wanted
00:58:59to break some pattern.
00:59:01So this is the chance
00:59:02for you to do that.
00:59:03And that's your part
00:59:04where you have to rise to the occasion
00:59:06and choose to do that
00:59:08with enthusiasm.
00:59:10Enthusiasm, thank you.
00:59:12Thanks, Alessandra.
00:59:12You'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
00:59:20to be there for you
00:59:21and chooses to make you
00:59:23a 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 Beck.
00:59:32And what you know now
00:59:34is when you're particularly
00:59:35talking about commitment,
00:59:37future,
00:59:39feelings,
00:59:40you do have to choose
00:59:42your words very carefully.
00:59:46You do indeed.
00:59:48If you could do it over again,
00:59:50how would you answer it?
00:59:52I'd just say yes.
00:59:56Yes what?
00:59:57I could see myself
00:59:58wanting in love with you.
00:59:59Yeah, that's as simple as that.
01:00:02And would that be the truth?
01:00:07Of course,
01:00:07I wouldn't say it
01:00:08if it wasn't the truth.
01:00:09So yeah.
01:00:11I just answered it wrong.
01:00:16I think the best thing
01:00:18with Daniel and I
01:00:18and I've learnt
01:00:19is that, you know,
01:00:21we always come out
01:00:22better and stronger
01:00:23because now,
01:00:25moving forward,
01:00:26we're in this together
01:00:27and that makes me feel
01:00:29like I'm not
01:00:30going to get hurt.
01:00:32It means so much.
01:00:35And like, for example,
01:00:37he planned this date
01:00:38and I walked into our apartment
01:00:40and there was candles
01:00:41lit everywhere
01:00:42and all over the apartment
01:00:44was post-it notes
01:00:46telling me
01:00:47how he felt about me.
01:00:50So he's learning, guys.
01:00:52He's learning from me.
01:00:52I'm not all bad, am I?
01:00:54And then we went up
01:00:56and he asked me
01:00:57to be his girlfriend.
01:01:02I know you're married
01:01:03but what inspired you
01:01:05to ask Beck that question?
01:01:07I'm trying to think.
01:01:10Like, it was important
01:01:12to Beck, you know,
01:01:13because like, obviously...
01:01:14Why was it important to you?
01:01:22Because it gives Beck security.
01:01:26But why is it important
01:01:27to you, Danny?
01:01:31Well, I'm married to Beck.
01:01:32Do you know what you mean?
01:01:33So it's like,
01:01:34but like,
01:01:35I think it was more...
01:01:42Yeah, I think Beck
01:01:42just wanted that added security
01:01:44that like, do you...
01:01:45But why was it important
01:01:46to you to ask her that?
01:02:07Um, yeah,
01:02:08I think Beck just wanted
01:02:09that added security
01:02:10that like, do you...
01:02:11But why was it important
01:02:12to you to ask her that?
01:02:23Because I know
01:02:24it would be special
01:02:25to Beck.
01:02:27But why was it important
01:02:28to you?
01:02:41Because I wanted to be
01:02:42my girlfriend's like,
01:02:44you know?
01:02:45Um, yeah,
01:02:46that's why I've done 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
01:03:09we're going to go to a decision.
01:03:10Beck.
01:03:12I wrote stay
01:03:13and then I wrote boyfriend,
01:03:14hee hee.
01:03:15Oh.
01:03:18Yeah, boyfriend.
01:03:21Danny.
01:03:23Leave.
01:03:23Can you imagine?
01:03:25Yeah.
01:03:26So I've just done a cheeky stay.
01:03:30That's lovely.
01:03:31Where's the love part this week?
01:03:32It was in a rush.
01:03:33Oh, okay.
01:03:36This week,
01:03:37I think
01:03:38for you, Danny,
01:03:40clearly
01:03:41and plainly
01:03:43let her know
01:03:44how you feel about her.
01:03:46Everything that you wrote
01:03:47on those post-it notes,
01:03:49translate that
01:03:50into your verbal communication
01:03:51with her this week
01:03:52because it worked.
01:03:53It's been the best week
01:03:54of my life.
01:03:58You got a big thumbs up
01:03:59for that
01:04:00so do more of that.
01:04:01Make her that priority.
01:04:08Thank you both.
01:04:10Thanks so much.
01:04:11Appreciate you.
01:04:31Tomorrow night.
01:04:32The experiment

01:04:56a special place
01:04:57for him.
01:04:58How lucky am I
01:04:58for him to have
01:05:00welcomed me into this?
01:05:01I kind of like
01:05:01holding a rod
01:05:02and getting kissed.
01:05:04Oh, hang on.
01:05:07My vibes
01:05:08on the wedding day
01:05:09weren't really positive
01:05:10and I'm here
01:05:11to protect her.
01:05:12Stella's outspoken
01:05:13guests from her wedding
01:05:14day are back.
01:05:16So like,
01:05:16I've bought information.
01:05:18Sorry to interrupt you.
01:05:19I'm getting some
01:05:20not so confident
01:05:21vibes from over here.
01:05:23And then...
01:05:24Welcome.
01:05:25Scott shows off
01:05:26to Gia
01:05:27his waterside home.
01:05:29Oh, it's a bit messy.
01:05:30So random.
01:05:32Weird.
01:05:33This wouldn't be big enough.
01:05:34It'd be better
01:05:34if that wasn't there.
01:05:35Is Gia
01:05:36the most high-maintenance
01:05:37house guest
01:05:38Scott's ever seen?
01:05:40Um,
01:05:40my house is way cleaner.
01:05:42Ugh.
01:05:43Yeah, I couldn't...
01:05:43I couldn't live here.
01:05:44If the roles were reversed
01:05:45and I was at Gia's house,
01:05:46I wouldn't say anything
01:05:47but nice things.
