00:00:00Over two explosive nights.
00:00:02The card that gripped Australia.
00:00:05Underbelly Vanishing Act.
00:00:07Sunday and Monday on 9.
00:00:10Previously.
00:00:13Clumsy Cody sent a bad omen to Selena's mother.
00:00:17She's not really handling stuff properly.
00:00:20Or even a relationship.
00:00:22And?
00:00:23Jackson, I love you.
00:00:25Despite their trials and tribulations.
00:00:28I'm so excited to see what the rest of our lives have in store for us.
00:00:31For Olivia and Jackson.
00:00:33I'm so happy.
00:00:34Their love conquered all.
00:00:36The future's definitely got each other in it, that's for sure.
00:00:39Babies.
00:00:41There you go, babies.
00:00:43And?
00:00:44I've seen the real you.
00:00:45The one who doesn't respect me or anyone around her.
00:00:48After two months of frustration.
00:00:50You are not God's gift to humanity, so stop looking down on everyone.
00:00:53Brent let loose.
00:00:55Good riddance.
00:00:58Ending his marriage to Tamara.
00:01:00I'm definitely walking out of here with my head held high.
00:01:03With no regrets.
00:01:06Tonight.
00:01:08It's decision time for our final three couples.
00:01:12Do you think that I'm the right person for you?
00:01:15Maybe I'm just not the person to give that to you.
00:01:18Has Mitch already given Ella his answer?
00:01:21Saying goodbye.
00:01:22It's kind of hard to fathom that this is where it's ended.
00:01:26Plus.
00:01:26What do you think of Katie?
00:01:28Will a protective mama bear's brutal honesty.
00:01:31I'm not really impressed.
00:01:33At all.
00:01:36Spoils Selena's fairy tale.
00:01:38He is not really into you.
00:01:41You deserve more better, Selena.
00:01:47Before the most unmissable final vows ever.
00:01:51I know how I'm feeling.
00:01:53I know where I'm at.
00:01:55The only thing that I don't know is where she's at.
00:01:58Who will get there happily ever after?
00:02:01I now know what I need and what I deserve.
00:02:06And who will be left in complete shock?
00:02:12I know this is not what you want to hear.
00:02:25After nearly three months, the married at first sight experiment has almost come to its end.
00:02:31All that remains are the final vow ceremonies in which our remaining couples will make the ultimate choice.
00:02:38To take their love story into the real world or leave it all behind.
00:02:45Domenica and Jack are spending their last morning together before they separate to consider their final decision.
00:02:53I'm boggling.
00:02:59But this time to soak up the last moment of each other's company is being overshadowed by memories of the
00:03:06night before.
00:03:08Well, I thought, like, what, week two when you're in my apartment in front of all of us girls saying
00:03:13that Jack can't f*** you right because he f*** you too quickly.
00:03:19I just can't believe the crap that came out of Olivia's mouth.
00:03:23She wanted to have a crack at Dom and I was the punchline.
00:03:28Last night really took a toll on me.
00:03:32It was really hard to see you like that last night.
00:03:35Seeing Jack this hurt on the final warning here, it bloody sucks because that didn't have to happen.
00:03:42And it shows who Olivia really is.
00:03:47If anything says so much more about Olivia than about us.
00:03:54And then the box came out.
00:03:56Yeah.
00:03:57And...
00:03:58It was rough.
00:04:00Yeah, when you paused, I didn't like that.
00:04:02I didn't like that at all.
00:04:04Yeah.
00:04:06What I really was a little bit shook by last night was the response I got from Dom to the
00:04:12question that I asked openly at the end.
00:04:16Do you see longevity in this relationship?
00:04:23It's a long pause.
00:04:26She's thinking.
00:04:31I don't know why she was hesitant.
00:04:34We made it to the last day.
00:04:37This is a little bit bittersweet.
00:04:42Although the experiment's coming to a close, you know, pressure's at an all-time high.
00:04:50You know, I've got to make some big calls this week.
00:04:55Biggest calls.
00:04:57You know, I know how I'm feeling.
00:04:59I know where I'm at.
00:05:01The only thing that I don't know is where she's at.
00:05:04So sad.
00:05:10Last night, I don't know why I paused.
00:05:13And then, you know, leaving, I guess.
00:05:21Yeah, it's really dawned on me, like, how many amazing memories I've made in this place.
00:05:32Don't get teary on me now.
00:05:35I'll see you again soon.
00:05:39Honestly, the little intricate things that aren't even big things, but I just make Jack, Jack.
00:05:44I think that's what I'm going to miss.
00:05:46Like, the dumb stuff that we do, or Jack always taking photos of me the way I fall asleep.
00:05:52You know, always giving me my mealy pillow at night to sleep with, because he knows that
00:05:55that would always calm my nerves and make me have a good sleep.
00:05:59It's okay.
00:06:05It's a lot.
00:06:07I know.
00:06:13Yeah, that's stuff on me, it's for sure.
00:06:23See ya.
00:06:24Ciao, ciao, ciao.
00:06:26Just think about seeing the dogs.
00:06:39Jack.
00:06:43I know this time is so crucial, and as much as I'm going to miss him, I'm still trying to
00:06:51figure out what I want and if this is right for me.
00:06:56That's not me saying that Jack isn't a great guy, but do I see a future with this person?
00:07:01Do I see, like, building a life?
00:07:03I haven't made up that decision, so I think spending this time apart is going to be really
00:07:08important.
00:07:10I think I ought to jack the way up and consider everything and really try to feel all my feelings.
00:07:21And as Domenica and Jack go their separate ways to consider their relationship and make a decision
00:07:28that could change the rest of their lives, Ella and Mitch are waking up in separate rooms after a public
00:07:35and
00:07:35explosive fight at last night's final dinner party.
00:07:39It sucks that we didn't even get to spend the last night at Sky together.
00:07:43We've had, like, the best time, like, the entire experiment.
00:07:48I never imagined Mitchell and I ending the experiment like this.
00:07:53Never.
00:07:54I asked you, are we leaving here in a relationship or are we not?
00:08:00Because I wasn't sure based on things you said.
00:08:04You said, I don't really know.
00:08:07I'm not the sort of person that's going to be out there and say how I feel and be this
00:08:11guy that's, like,
00:08:12all loving and caring and put it all on the table.
00:08:15No, I don't.
00:08:15That's just not the way that I am.
00:08:17I mean, I'm sorry, but that's never, and I said this to you the other day, I'm never going to
00:08:20be that guy.
00:08:20I don't show love through those kinds of avenues.
00:08:24I just don't and I never will.
00:08:34I'm feeling pretty anxious about talking to Mitchell about it all.
00:08:37I want to clear the air before we leave here.
00:08:40Otherwise, I feel like we're doomed.
00:08:45Morning.
00:08:47Morning.
00:08:48What's happening?
00:08:51I feel sick.
00:08:53Why?
00:08:53I just feel, like, sick with feelings and anxiousness and just, like, I just don't feel good.
00:09:01Well, I know you're anxious.
00:09:03Yeah.
00:09:04How are you feeling?
00:09:05I feel all right.
00:09:07I feel blindsided.
00:09:09I felt like I'd addressed all her concerns because she's been so anxious and so concerned about leaving the experiment.
00:09:16Um, yeah, and then she comes out with everything she did last night.
00:09:20Like, obviously, there was things that built up over time.
00:09:23And I think, like, what for me really triggered it probably yesterday was, you know, all day I was, like,
00:09:31telling you how I feel, like, leading up to the last day.
00:09:34And yesterday I was, like, telling you, like, I'm sad.
00:09:36Like, I feel like, you know, I'm going to miss this.
00:09:38And we're about to just leave our little bubble where it's, like, protected.
00:09:44Like, you just weren't giving me anything.
00:09:47You didn't even say, I'm going to miss you.
00:09:49I'm not the sort of person that's just going to walk around the house telling you that I miss you.
00:09:53But you didn't, like, you didn't say things that, like, I needed to hear.
00:09:58We've been over the communication thing a million times.
00:10:03And it feels like we're back at square one almost.
00:10:06You're supposed to make me feel, like, secure within my issues, like, around that.
00:10:15How am I supposed to know how you feel about me if you can't try and tell me, like...
00:10:20The fact that I want to spend every freaking hour with you every day is a good indication that I
00:10:25feel strongly about you and that I want to be with you and I'm really into you.
00:10:30I don't know what else I can do, what else I...
00:10:32I understand it's hard for you to say that stuff.
00:10:34Like, I do get that.
00:10:35Because it doesn't come naturally, but it is, like, it is words, like, it's validation for me.
00:10:41It's things I need to hear.
00:10:42And maybe, maybe if these are all the things that you want and that you need, maybe I'm just not
00:10:47the person to give that to you.
00:11:03If these are all the things that you want and that you need, maybe I'm just not the person to
00:11:10give that to you.
00:11:10But do you see...
00:11:12Do you think I'm the right...
00:11:12Do you think that I'm the right person for you?
00:11:17I do think that you are in a lot of ways.
00:11:20Like, we have an amazing connection.
00:11:24Like, there's no doubt about it.
00:11:25And, like, I know that I like you a lot and that's why I got so emotional because I care
00:11:30a lot about this relationship, what we've just done this whole time.
00:11:35But there's just that little part, like, where I'm just concerned.
00:11:39Like, I guess I do need more emotional support from you, like I do.
00:11:45I just don't feel like I'm going to be able to give it to you.
00:11:50But what it comes down to is if you really like someone, then you're going to try.
00:11:55It doesn't matter how much I want it.
00:11:56I just can't...
00:11:57I just don't feel like I'm that person.
00:12:01Or I'm the right person.
00:12:03I'm the person that you need.
00:12:05And it doesn't matter what I say or what I do, I'm never going to be good enough for you.
00:12:14Well, I don't believe that.
00:12:16I have very strong feelings for Mitchell.
00:12:18Like, I really do.
00:12:20When two people meet, especially strangers, like, you're not going to be the same.
00:12:25It's just, you know, how much are two people willing to work on something to make it work?
00:12:32Is it going to be worth it?
00:12:34Going to final vows, I've got a lot more to think about.
00:12:41I think you do as well.
00:12:44Because at the moment, I'm clearly not the right person for you.
00:12:51Saying goodbye, you know, it...
00:12:56It would have been...
00:13:00I mean, the way I thought we would be saying goodbye before final vows is, like, I'll see you soon,
00:13:04you know?
00:13:05Like, can't wait.
00:13:06We know what's coming.
00:13:08Anything else you want to say before we go?
00:13:10I don't know.
00:13:10I don't know what else to say.
00:13:12You going to walk me out then?
00:13:12Yeah.
00:13:14But now it's like, goodbye.
00:13:17See you when I see you.
00:13:19It feels like shit.
00:13:20It feels like we are two complete strangers.
00:13:23Beautiful.
00:13:24I'll come to that later.
00:13:25Yeah, it's kind of hard to fathom that this is, like, where it's ended.
00:13:36Right.
00:13:38Alrighty.
00:13:39So what, the next time I see you, I don't want to push it yet.
00:13:43God, get me the f**k out of here.
00:13:51See you soon.
00:13:52See ya.
00:13:53Bye.
00:13:57And as Ella and Mitch part on deeply uncertain terms, back on the northern beaches, Cody has hit the waves
00:14:06for a little zen time, as he considers his future with Selena.
00:14:10I'm proud to even have the chance to make this decision.
00:14:13It shows the effort that Selena and I put in to get to this point.
00:14:17Like, we've gone through some pretty dire times.
00:14:20Are you attracted to me?
00:14:23This is the one, like, I am struggling, like, a little bit with.
00:14:28It's like my schlong isn't coordinating with my head.
00:14:33Is the lack of interest, attraction and affection due to my nationality and look?
00:14:41Uh, I think it did.
00:14:43Honestly, I was like to, did play at it initially.
00:14:47The one thing that would just resolve this whole thing for me is just a hug.
00:14:52It's not, it doesn't feel appropriate and it's not just going to make it better for me.
00:14:58I don't see how we get past this.
00:15:02I want to, I really do, and I'm hoping to learn, but that's my concern.
00:15:11We've been through so much together.
00:15:14The issues Selena and I had to sort of overcome within the space of two months.
00:15:19They're things I wouldn't have even attempted to resolve with my exes.
00:15:25Love's never easy, I promise you.
00:15:27So you just go for it.
00:15:29The moment's there.
00:15:30If it lasts for a year, it lasts forever.
00:15:33You don't know unless you make the effort.
00:15:35I've seen a lot of, like, changes within Cody.
00:15:38I was just going to ask you, Selena, you know, you've mentioned during this experiment that
00:15:42there are times when you're not sure whether Cody is as into you as you are into him.
00:15:48Do you still feel that way?
00:15:50Um, no.
00:15:52For the first time, like, I feel like we're, like, equal.
00:16:08I know I've got a big decision in front of me.
00:16:10I know that something huge is about to happen.
00:16:13You've got to weigh out all the good things that have happened, all the bad things that
00:16:16have happened.
00:16:17We were so up and down.
00:16:19Like, we had no consistency.
00:16:20One week we'd be ready to leave, the next week we'd be better than ever.
00:16:24Yes, we've been through so much together.
00:16:26Yes, I really like the girl, but is it, like, realistic to make this work in the long run?
00:16:30As Cody searches for the perfect wave of clarity, in Adelaide, Selena is at her mum's place,
00:16:37where a few days earlier, Cody made a big impression.
00:16:41Come back for the rest.
00:16:42What's that?
00:16:43Too easy.
00:16:47Oh, gosh.
00:16:48Pressure.
00:16:50Oh!
00:16:52Oh!
00:16:55I'm so sorry.
00:16:57That showed to me that he is clumsy.
00:17:01Very, very clumsy.
00:17:03He's not really handling stuff properly.
00:17:06Maybe the situation, too.
00:17:08Or even a relationship.
00:17:11Now, Selena is hoping to get her mum's unfiltered take on her clumsy husband.
00:17:17Sit here.
00:17:18Thanks.
00:17:22My mum is very intuitive.
00:17:25She knows me better than anyone else on this planet.
00:17:28Yeah, I think looking back and reflecting, he's grown a lot.
00:17:33For before, he couldn't, like, hug me or comfort me when I was upset.
00:17:41And now he's changed.
00:17:46I know we've had our downs, but, like, Cody has come leaps and bounds with our relationship
00:17:54and as a man.
00:17:56I just want to know that Cody is in it for real.
00:18:00I honestly want this so badly, but I also, for the first time in my life, I'm not willing
00:18:06to put myself out there for someone that's not going to give me the same energy back in
00:18:11return.
00:18:12You have to make a choice.
00:18:14You say to me, now he changed.
00:18:17Let me tell you the truth.
00:18:20I'm not really impressed at all.
00:18:26I can tell that he is not really into you.
00:18:31He's not really keen to show me that he really loves you.
00:18:37You really meet the right woman, and I think, you know, I think you love him more than he
00:18:43loves you.
00:18:44I can see that.
00:18:45I can feel that.
00:18:47If he really loves you from the start, he shows up straight away.
00:18:53He will show everything, every word, every moment to you how important you to him.
00:19:02You know, you deserve more, better, Selena.
00:19:12Yeah, I mean, like it, I mean, the truth hurts.
00:19:29Ella and Mitch's final vow ceremony is just days away, and after leaving Sky Suites on
00:19:36a note of deep uncertainty, the pair are spending their first time apart since the experiment
00:19:42began over two months ago.
00:19:45It's been a huge week.
00:19:51I didn't think that I'd be feeling the way that I am.
00:19:56Look, we've had it.
00:19:57Ella and I have had a great time together.
00:19:59I think we love each other's company.
00:20:01I mean, there was obviously an initial connection there.
00:20:09Oh, how are you?
00:20:12You look gorgeous.
00:20:13You look gorgeous.
00:20:14Oh, wow.
00:20:15I definitely feel the sexual chemistry is there.
00:20:19Oh, you are gorgeous.
00:20:21You smell amazing.
00:20:22And that's huge for me.
00:20:24The scent is huge.
00:20:26Can you smell me?
00:20:28Yeah, yeah.
00:20:29There's a lot.
00:20:30There's a lot going on.
00:20:31Yeah.
00:20:31I know.
00:20:32Yeah.
00:20:33She's fun.
00:20:34She's got a great smile.
00:20:35She's just easy to be around.
00:20:40Lucky me.
00:20:41Two good years.
00:20:46She's like no one I've ever met before, so she's, yeah, I really do like her.
00:20:51You ever kiss Hannah before?
00:20:54Yeah, come kiss Hannah, baby.
00:20:59We are very similar, but we are so different in a lot of ways that do matter in a relationship.
00:21:04The way that we communicate, how we show affection and show that we care about someone is completely different.
00:21:12When you say, like, I don't want to be here and, like, I'd rather be doing this and that,
00:21:15I can't help but think that it has nothing to do with me.
00:21:18That's your own problem, being insecure.
00:21:20Maybe because you don't reassure me.
00:21:22No.
00:21:23Do you think that you're good enough for him?
00:21:29No.
00:21:32I didn't realise that I made her feel that way.
00:21:36It's upsetting.
00:21:39I've never been vulnerable in a relationship before.
00:21:42I've never let my walls down and let someone in.
00:21:44I've never told anyone the thing that I've told Ella.
00:21:48It's been a lot.
00:21:49It's been tough.
00:21:50It's been stressful.
00:21:53It's taken its toll.
00:21:54It made me feel like everything was my fault and that I've done something for you to think you're not
00:22:00good enough.
00:22:00I just want to go home now.
00:22:03I'm over this.
00:22:09F***ing dumb.
00:22:13If you can't handle it in here as a couple, you're not going to make it outside in the real
00:22:18world.
00:22:20So when it gets a bit tough in here, if you want this relationship, suck it up.
00:22:26I'm not very, like, open and I don't talk about, you know, the way that our relationship's going an awful
00:22:31lot or how I'm feeling.
00:22:33But moving forward, I just need to get comfortable being uncomfortable and just embrace it.
00:22:39I thought we'd sort of got back to a decent point.
00:22:43Let's go, baby!
00:22:45And then the questions that came out the other night from the experts, I guess it was just a volcano
00:22:52for Ella waiting to erupt.
00:22:54And, you know, that final dinner party was when she erupted.
00:23:00Back home in Melbourne, the blow-up at the dinner party and their failure to resolve the issue before parting
00:23:06company has Ella questioning everything.
00:23:11A week ago, I just knew exactly how it was going.
00:23:15And it felt so good.
00:23:17And then, like, one night, one little few, you know, disagreements and all hell breaks loose.
00:23:31Ella is staying at home with her mum and stepdad as she considers her decision.
00:23:36So what's happening?
00:23:37Um, I can see you're not wearing your, um, wedding band.
00:23:42Yes, I'm not wearing my ring.
00:23:43It's actually the first time it's been off the entire experiment.
00:23:47Um.
00:23:48Why is that?
00:23:48You know, we didn't really end things the way that we had hoped.
00:23:53Coming into Final Vows now, I just, I feel like everything's changed, like, which is really sad.
00:23:59Like, it really upsets me.
00:24:01We've had, like, the best time, like, 95% of the entire experiment.
00:24:08And now it's like, the future is not clear.
00:24:13What was the thing that was, like, the negative outcome?
00:24:16When it comes to verbal validation, that's what he really struggles with.
00:24:20Giving me that verbal validation, like, I really like you, Ella.
00:24:23Or, this is how I'm feeling.
00:24:25Like, he won't say any of that.
00:24:27And he thinks that I am too emotional.
00:24:29I disagree with that.
00:24:31I don't think that I ask for too much in a relationship.
00:24:34I think what I ask for is pretty normal.
00:24:37But he's like, well, I'm not going to be that person.
00:24:40I'm not going to be that person who is emotionally supportive.
00:24:44I don't need to change.
00:24:45I don't want to change.
00:24:46This is who I am.
00:24:48That's not fantastic because you would hope you would both learn and change together.
00:24:58Did you think there was a little bit of, gee, I could be falling for Mitch?
00:25:03If things were to continue in the outside and it only got better and better, hell yeah, like, I would
00:25:10be falling in love with him.
00:25:14I truly do believe, like, any man is lucky to have me.
00:25:17And if they don't see that, well, that's their loss.
00:25:22Happy in love is the best thing.
00:25:24So, maybe he needs to try a little bit harder.
00:25:26Yeah.
00:25:27And put that, you know, bit of a priority in his life.
00:25:31Yeah, and that's the question mark.
00:25:35What it really comes down to is, is Mitchell ready to be in a committed relationship right now?
00:25:44Yeah, a week ago, this was a, this was a pretty easy decision.
00:25:49I knew exactly what, what was, what was going to happen a week ago, had it all planned out.
00:25:55But I guess the last, the last few days when it's just been myself here alone, I've had more time
00:26:04to, I guess, think about it and figure out if it's actually going to be worthwhile pursuing.
00:26:11In the real world.
00:26:15If, if this is going to be a forever thing for us, because I don't, I don't want to go
00:26:20into this, like, half-heartedly, it needs to be 100%.
00:26:28And I just don't know if I'm the right person for Ella.
00:26:38On the south coast of New South Wales, Jack has returned to his family home to consider his future with
00:26:46Dom.
00:26:47And reunite with his best man.
00:26:50Finn.
00:26:51Who's this?
00:26:53Do you know who this is?
00:26:57Okay, you can look that way.
00:27:00Oh my, oh my, oh my God.
00:27:04Oh my God.
00:27:08Hi, Bubba.
00:27:09Finn.
00:27:10Finn.
00:27:10Hi, baby.
00:27:13Italian, check.
00:27:15Dog lover, check.
00:27:16Vegetarian, check.
00:27:20very happy
00:27:27I remember that day for the rest of my life
00:27:29it was beautiful
00:27:30call it chemistry, call it clicking
00:27:33me and Dom had a connection
00:27:35from day one
00:27:40we got a bit excited
00:27:41last night
00:27:43there was a little bit of excitement
00:27:44yeah
00:27:45it's just the timing felt right
00:27:47and that's, I don't know what more I can say
00:27:54yeah, we definitely went through
00:27:57the happiest of
00:27:59happiest
00:28:00but also the hardest of hearts as well
00:28:04like
00:28:04I want you to want me
00:28:07and I want you to f*** me
00:28:08like it's not that hard
00:28:10yeah
00:28:12and they did
00:28:13yeah
00:28:42especially in the last few weeks
00:28:44in the end
00:28:45has
00:28:45does Jack know that you had an OnlyFans account or anything prior?
00:28:48I'm aware, yeah
00:28:49I don't really care
00:28:50you don't care at all?
00:28:52no
00:28:52I think what's more concerning is
00:28:54how is it circulated?
00:28:57he's
00:28:57like the most kind hearted
00:28:59person
00:29:01I've met
00:29:01and
00:29:03if I didn't have Jack
00:29:06I don't know how I would have got through it
00:29:08if I didn't have him
00:29:11you know
00:29:12so much happened
00:29:14we went through so much
00:29:16we made it through so much
00:29:17and really came together in so many beautiful ways
00:29:25I want this
00:29:27I could fall for this girl
00:29:35I think Dom knows how I feel about her
00:29:37I feel like the ball's in her court
00:29:39but to be honest
00:29:41for this relationship
00:29:41to have a chance at working outside of the experiment
00:29:44I need some definitives
00:29:46from Dominica
00:29:49last dinner party
00:29:50when we received an honesty box
00:29:53my question was
00:29:55did you ever see longevity in this relationship?
00:29:59and Dom just really struggled
00:30:00to answer the question
00:30:09going into the experiment
00:30:11I had a fear of failure
00:30:13because I've had a failed marriage
00:30:16I really didn't want to go into something else
00:30:18that was going to fail
00:30:21the second I saw his beautiful blue eyes
00:30:23and his kind smile
00:30:24all of that just kind of washed away
00:30:27hi
00:30:30welcome
00:30:35but
00:30:36being so close to final vows
00:30:38and having to make
00:30:39this decision
00:30:41and also taking into consideration
00:30:43and also taking into consideration Jack
00:30:44and his feelings
00:30:45that fear of failure
00:30:47it's coming back
00:30:48I guess I'm still a bit unsure
00:30:50and uneasy
00:30:51that scares me
00:30:56I've been my soul
00:30:57every moment
00:30:58I'll tell you right now
00:31:00I'm so excited to see her
00:31:02Dom is catching up
00:31:04with two of her closest friends
00:31:05to help sift through
00:31:07her complicated emotions
00:31:08around the final decision
00:31:11this is what's like
00:31:12tormenting me
00:31:13like I just don't know
00:31:14you always say Jack
00:31:16he's such a great guy
00:31:17like all these good things about him
00:31:19what is holding you back?
00:31:23I do have
00:31:24an intense fear of failure
00:31:26definitely
00:31:26and I'm really scared
00:31:28that
00:31:29you know
00:31:30I'm going to get into something again
00:31:31and it not work
00:31:33and that's where I was
00:31:34in my relationship
00:31:34and that scares
00:31:35the absolute shit out of me
00:31:37and because you've been through that before
00:31:38yeah
00:31:40she's been in a situation before
00:31:42where
00:31:43she's felt like
00:31:44she's in a relationship
00:31:45that she's not sure
00:31:46which she wants to be in
00:31:47and she's tried
00:31:48to stay in that relationship
00:31:50but
00:31:50it didn't work out in the end
00:31:52and I think
00:31:52the fear of that happening again
00:31:55is
00:31:55that's what's holding her back the most
00:31:58so it's like
00:31:59oh shit
00:31:59if I'm going to put myself out there again
00:32:01you don't want to waste time
00:32:02and I don't want to waste time
00:32:03and so there's just so much to consider here
00:32:05I think that's what you're scared of
00:32:07that it's just going to be
00:32:08history repeating itself
00:32:09yeah
00:32:11but then on the other hand
00:32:13like Jack is such a great guy
00:32:15yeah
00:32:15yeah
00:32:16he is
00:32:17and it just
00:32:17it just makes me think like
00:32:19do I want to give that up
00:32:20you know what you want
00:32:22you know what you need
00:32:23I think if you make that decision
00:32:24and you're honest with him
00:32:25then you know
00:32:27what can go wrong
00:32:28I think you just need to listen to your heart
00:32:30and whatever your heart's telling you
00:32:31you just need to go with that instinct
00:32:40it's final vows day in Boweral
00:32:43and with just hours left
00:32:45before she must tell Cody
00:32:47if she wants to continue their relationship
00:32:49outside the experiment
00:32:51or walk away for good
00:32:52Selena is still rattled
00:32:54by her mum's brutally honest assessment
00:32:57of her and Cody's prospects
00:32:59my mum definitely had a huge impact
00:33:01on my final decision
00:33:03she is very intuitive
00:33:05she knows me better than anyone else on this planet
00:33:09and she's definitely picked up on
00:33:10what my concerns have always been with Cody
00:33:18Cody has definitely changed in our relationship as a man
00:33:22he's growing heat
00:33:25but did it come a bit too late
00:33:34on the wedding day
00:33:35walking down the aisle
00:33:38I feel like it was half the man that I am today
00:33:44Selena and I have run the gauntlet
00:33:45we've been through the worst
00:33:47we've seen the best
00:33:50what's kept me here is
00:33:51I've obviously always cared for Selena
00:33:53I still have those questions
00:33:55like
00:33:56is this like really worth the effort
00:33:57can I see this working in the long run
00:34:01are we past everything bad that happened
00:34:16I know Cody and I are in a good place now
00:34:19but after everything that's happened
00:34:22I get scared about like
00:34:24whether this is going to be like consistent or not
00:34:28it is something that has always
00:34:32been a massive concern
00:34:33it's a daily thing
00:34:35it's an hourly thing
00:34:36like which Cody am I going to get
00:34:38am I going to get the Cody that's all over me
00:34:39or the Cody that's cold and distant
00:34:43I honestly want this so badly
00:34:45but I also for the first time in my life
00:34:48I'm not willing to put myself out there
00:34:50for someone that's not going to
00:34:51give me the same energy back in return
00:34:54so
00:35:28We made it, hey?
00:35:31Bit of an underdog story, but here we are.
00:35:37The best thing to do is often the hardest thing to do, so to speak.
00:35:44But I intend to be completely honest, say what I'm thinking, and...
00:35:50Yeah, I can only ask that she does the same.
00:35:57I came into this whole experiment without my parents' approval.
00:36:04And I still don't have that.
00:36:08My parents haven't really approved of anything, really, that I've done in my life.
00:36:15But now, I just feel like I've done everything now for 32 years to try my hardest to make them
00:36:24proud.
00:36:24And my love life has suffered because of that.
00:36:36My decision today, I've made for me.
00:36:47Not for my parents.
00:36:51Because I now know what I need and what I want and what I deserve.
00:37:02I'm not going to sacrifice any more to make my parents happy.
00:37:07I'm not going to sacrifice any more to make my parents happy.
00:37:14Wow.
00:37:16How are you?
00:37:17Long time no see.
00:37:22Hiya.
00:37:23Good.
00:37:24How are you?
00:37:25Not bad.
00:37:26Did you meet me?
00:37:26Yeah, I've been ages.
00:37:28Yeah, I know.
00:37:29A week does feel like forever.
00:37:38I'm nervous.
00:37:40Don't be.
00:37:47Selena.
00:37:50Firstly, I owe you a huge thank you.
00:37:53I'm truly grateful it was you I got to share this experience with.
00:37:58You certainly made an impression.
00:37:59I was stoked to turn around and see your enthusiasm, the energy you brought and a smile you wear so
00:38:05well.
00:38:06I took up the opportunity to be a part of this experiment in hopes of finding my teammate.
00:38:13Someone to help me.
00:38:19To never feel lonely and to find that special person to build memories and share experiences with.
00:38:28Throughout the weeks, you've provided me with joyful memories, continuous laughter and gave me a taste of what things could
00:38:33be like.
00:38:38But.
00:38:44Although we bring out the best in each other, there are times we've brought out the worst.
00:38:51What I've had to really consider over the last few days is, despite everything we've been through together, are we
00:38:57really suited to each other?
00:39:00And are my feelings for you strong enough to put the work into this relationship on the outside?
00:39:14After all is said and done, from facing the good times and the bad, learning multiple lessons and confronting nearly
00:39:21every emotion under the sun.
00:39:23I've realized that you are someone I care so deeply about, someone who I want to be around and more
00:39:30importantly, someone I want to build a future with.
00:39:34I've entertained so many exciting possibilities in the future, everything from traveling the world, furthering careers and building a home
00:39:41together.
00:39:46So in saying that, if you'll have me, I want more than anything to continue this relationship with you.
00:40:00Okay.
00:40:07Cody.
00:40:08Cody.
00:40:09What a roller coaster ride we have been on.
00:40:12I came onto this experiment, hoping to find my soulmate, best friend, partner in crime and husband.
00:40:19Someone that is loyal, honest, respectful, and would love me unconditionally and support me through the very highs and also
00:40:27very lows.
00:40:29When I first met you, I got nothing but warm, fuzzy, optimistic, genuine vibes.
00:40:34I could tell instantly that a future with you would consist of a lifetime of laughter and adventures.
00:40:49Throughout this experiment, I've seen you grow and evolve tremendously and words cannot describe how proud that makes me feel.
00:41:01However...
00:41:37There have been times when I felt really hurt and let down.
00:41:43I never thought coming onto this experiment I'd cry so much and have so many moments where I felt so
00:41:48alone when you were right there by my side.
00:41:52I find you hot and cold, warm one day and then distant the next.
00:41:58I'm constantly stuck in a cycle of confusion and unease and continuously wondering where I stand with you and whether
00:42:05you really care about me.
00:42:08Never in my life have I ever had to question time after time if a partner was into me until
00:42:13I met you.
00:42:15You're a very difficult man to read.
00:42:21Being with you has taught me so much about myself and truly made me a better, stronger, more resilient person.
00:42:28We've had some shocking lows and blows.
00:42:32But to your credit, you've stuck by my side through it all when you've had so many opportunities to write
00:42:38leave every week.
00:42:42And you have shown me that you are kind, loyal, respectful and honest.
00:42:49Because of all of this, I stand here and I ask that you continue this one-of-a-kind, incredible
00:42:54relationship with me so we can share and create more memories, grow with one another and live our best lives
00:43:00together outside this experiment.
00:43:23How are you guys feeling?
00:43:25I feel really good.
00:43:26Yeah, you've got to be happy with that, don't you?
00:43:29We made it.
00:43:30We made it.
00:43:37I feel like all the struggles and all the really highs and really low lows, yeah, it's all been worth
00:43:43it because we're standing here together.
00:43:50We've gone through it all and we've come out strong on the other side.
00:43:53Learned a few lessons, no doubt, but so worth it.
00:43:58Now we need to figure out what the hell we do from here, how we make it work.
00:44:03We're going to buy a house, we're going to go travelling, and then we're going to have like ten babies.
00:44:09Ha ha, joking.
00:44:12What a ride.
00:44:14Or was it a just?
00:44:15And while Selena and Cody are already writing their future, Ella's still hangs in the balance after parting ways with
00:44:24Mitch on uncertain terms.
00:44:27I never imagined Mitchell and I ending the experiment like this.
00:44:33None of us are perfect.
00:44:35Relationships aren't meant to be perfect.
00:44:37But the way I see it is you find someone who's great and you work hard for it.
00:44:44Like you just need a good, great person, a good human being, a genuine heart and soul, and Mitchell does
00:44:49have all those things.
00:44:50He does have all those characteristics that I ask for.
00:44:57I came into this pretty sceptical.
00:44:59I didn't really think that the experts were any good at their job, to be completely honest.
00:45:05But without the experts, I would never have met Ella.
00:45:09On my wedding day, I was just hoping for someone great.
00:45:12And Ella was, she ticked all the boxes.
00:45:21Yeah, I got everything that I, I guess I was hoping for, wishing for.
00:45:29This was meant to be a very easy decision.
00:45:32Two weeks ago, it was very clear.
00:45:34I just wanted to be with Ella.
00:45:37One hundred percent, it was clear.
00:45:41I feel like Ella needs all these things in a relationship.
00:45:48And I just don't know if I'm the right person for Ella.
00:45:55I've had to think about what I really want and what I think is going to be best for me
00:45:59and what's going to be best for Ella.
00:46:00It's not a simple thing.
00:46:05We've been through a crazy journey here in the experiment.
00:46:09I just have to stay true to myself and what I feel is right.
00:46:13And that's exactly what I've done.
00:46:20I don't know what I'm walking into.
00:46:23Yeah, there's just a lot of unknown right now.
00:46:30I'm definitely expecting the worst.
00:46:34I'm pretty convinced it's going to be the worst.
00:46:38I think it's just because of the way that things left off.
00:46:41It was negative and there was no, there was absolutely no reassurance from last time I left Mitchell.
00:46:50He didn't really, like, leave me feeling hopeful.
00:46:59I feel vulnerable.
00:47:03Out of control.
00:47:05Because, you know, what's coming is out of my control.
00:47:11Like, coming into today, you know, only a couple of weeks ago, I was, like, so sure what was going
00:47:17to happen.
00:47:21I think if you're here until the end of the experiment, like, you should know exactly where you're going with
00:47:25that person.
00:47:26But I don't know where I'm going after tonight.
00:47:38Tonight, I just have to stay true to myself, like Mitchell will be staying true to himself, and be me,
00:47:46be brave, and have no regrets.
00:47:57You look nice.
00:47:58So do you.
00:47:59That blue one.
00:48:00Spiky heels, eh?
00:48:01Can I hug you?
00:48:02Hi.
00:48:03Oh, it's nice to see your face.
00:48:07You too.
00:48:07It's been a minute.
00:48:09How are you feeling?
00:48:11A bit nervous?
00:48:13All right.
00:48:15You ready to rumble or what?
00:48:16Yeah.
00:48:17Oh, it's nice to see your face.
00:48:19Are you ready?
00:48:20As ready as I'll ever be.
00:48:22I'm not.
00:48:23Okay.
00:48:26Okay, Mitchell.
00:48:28From the moment I met you, I felt instinct chemistry and calmness.
00:48:34I knew I was exactly where I was meant to be.
00:49:05The past week without you, I've reflected a lot.
00:49:06Risks have integrity and confidence within yourself.
00:49:14As the time has gone on, it's obvious to me that we have different needs that need to be met,
00:49:20different expectations.
00:49:22I tell people how I feel, and I need to not worry about it being too much.
00:49:28Having a disagreement during our relationship shouldn't mean end game or I'm done.
00:49:34What my gut and instincts push me to question is that maybe you're not ready for the level of commitment
00:49:41that I'm searching for.
00:49:45But I'm fearless when it comes to matters of the heart, and for me, Mitchell, I see potential in us,
00:49:53and I'm willing to take the risk beyond this experiment and see where it could go.
00:49:59You are worth keeping my heart open for.
00:50:01You are worth the risk.
00:50:09Well said.
00:50:11Well said.
00:50:14So do you have?
00:50:16I do.
00:50:16Okay.
00:50:21All right.
00:50:22Okay.
00:50:23Okay.
00:50:25Ella!
00:50:38so do you have i do
00:50:45okay okay
00:50:49ella
00:50:51i came into this experiment in the hope to find a real relationship a real connection
00:50:58and someone that i could build a future with being such a non-traditional way to find love
00:51:04i was hesitant and cautious but as soon as you turned around with your big gorgeous smile
00:51:13all my worries went away
00:51:18we have shared so many amazing moments together during this experiment our honeymoon our little
00:51:25dates our tanning days movie nights water fights the list goes on you excite me you bring
00:51:33me out of my shell and you constantly give me a new perspective on life and the things
00:51:38around me
00:51:43although you and i started off strong we definitely hit a few bumps along the way and all these
00:51:50bumps all seem to have a common theme
00:51:55you saying that i don't show enough perfection you're not feeling good enough not feeling
00:52:03secure having this idea that i'm just going to up and leave when things get tough you've
00:52:10continuously told me that you don't think that i'm ready for a relationship if i'm not ready
00:52:17for a relationship then what do you think i've been doing here the entire time
00:52:24it's difficult to see a bright future with you when it seems the longer that we spend with each
00:52:29other the more difficult the relationship gets and the more that i realize maybe i'm not the right
00:52:36person that you're looking for or the person that you need
00:52:42how can we walk out of here together as partners when at the moment i don't see this as a
00:52:47substantial
00:52:48relationship what i need now is to go back to my life to my family to my friends
00:52:58it's only then that i'll be able to make a decision that could affect both of our lives
00:53:05what i can't like what i can't do and what i won't do is stand here and be forced to
00:53:10make a decision
00:53:11that i'm not yet ready to make
00:53:15i'm sorry ella but right now i just can't give you the commitment i know that you want
00:53:27i know this is this is not what you want to hear what i asked of you today is patience
00:53:36but all i can be is honest and this is how i feel
00:53:45wow
00:53:47throwing your own little spanner in the works i'm not surprised making no decision
00:53:57decisions are difficult
00:54:08yeah it's devastating like i've given it my all like i have
00:54:15given it my absolute like all
00:54:19he's asked for patience but to me he's just keeping his options open
00:54:29i don't really know what to say i guess
00:54:35yeah i just think it's a cup out
00:54:39like that's not good enough after everything that we've been through
00:54:44yeah it's sad to imagine not having you know just like a day at the beach again or like
00:54:52all the little random pranks that we do on each like just all the things that come with living with
00:54:58him like it's
00:55:02and yeah it's just like disappointing that it's just not enough for him
00:55:07it's it's pretty sad to imagine life without me right now yeah
00:55:15can i hug you
00:55:20All right, all right.
00:55:27Yeah, so...
00:55:30Yeah, it's hard.
00:55:33For you when I'm looking at you.
00:55:40Makes me feel really sad.
00:55:42Disappointed in him.
00:55:45After everything.
00:55:48F*** my life.
00:55:59It's a rainy morning in country New South Wales
00:56:02and Domenica and Jack are the last remaining couple
00:56:05to make their final vows to one another
00:56:08over two months after having met and married at first sight.
00:56:13For Jack, the decision was simple.
00:56:18Domenica just makes my life happier.
00:56:20She was everything that I asked for and so much more.
00:56:24You know, I know how I'm feeling.
00:56:26I know where I'm at.
00:56:28The only thing that I don't know is where she's at.
00:56:32I guess the elephant in the room has to be,
00:56:37what's Dom going to write?
00:56:46I have had to make that really tough decision in the past.
00:56:51I was the one that ended my marriage
00:56:54and walking away isn't easy at all.
00:56:59The easy thing is to just stay and be unhappy.
00:57:04So now having to make this decision with Jack,
00:57:07it's like, OK, well, I'm really kind of thinking back
00:57:12to that moment of, you know, how am I really feeling?
00:57:19I'm definitely more nervous now than I was on the wedding day.
00:57:22Like, honestly, because I know this guy.
00:57:24I know that what I'm going to say is either going to, like,
00:57:30make him sad, it's going to make him happy.
00:57:31I don't know.
00:57:32Like, I just don't know.
00:57:35I don't want to hurt him in any way.
00:57:38So that's just my number one thing right now, you know?
00:57:43It's making me nervous.
00:57:50I think whatever the outcome is,
00:57:52I know that I am true to myself the way that I'm feeling.
00:57:58I don't have the answers as to where this goes
00:58:00outside of the experiment.
00:58:02But me and Dom have built such a strong connection.
00:58:07And I want her in my life from now on.
00:58:08I really do.
00:58:11Without a doubt, I believe we can make this happen.
00:58:14So I'm going to be putting it all out there
00:58:17and see what happens.
00:58:29Preferably no lightning on the umbrella.
00:58:35We shall see.
00:58:46Oh, there we go.
00:58:47There's a storm.
00:58:48Just as I get out of the car too.
00:59:02It rained on the day that Jack and I first met.
00:59:07I look back on that day at the wedding now and I just think, oh, my God.
00:59:12It feels like so long ago, but also I just have clear feelings of how nervous I was,
00:59:19like butterflies in my belly.
00:59:22It felt like it was the first step into a brand new life.
00:59:27Especially after everything I had been through.
00:59:31I was so nervous.
00:59:33Failure is something that plays in my mind a lot.
00:59:36And I didn't want to fail again in a relationship.
00:59:43When I was walking down the aisle,
00:59:45I had all of these feelings and emotions running through my head.
00:59:49But seeing him there, it was just,
00:59:54all of that just kind of washed away.
00:59:58Like everything just kind of fell into place.
01:00:06It's like, that's Jack, that's me.
01:00:07It was like, that is who we are and who we have been from start to finish.
01:00:13And he is, you know, someone that I've shared the good, the bad and the ugly with.
01:00:22There's no way that I'm just going to let that go.
01:00:24I'm coming!
01:00:31You are not barefoot.
01:00:45I feel like I'm home back on the farm.
01:00:49Barefoot, I love it.
01:00:55This is so beautiful.
01:00:57Hi!
01:00:57Look at the flowers!
01:00:58Get in here, get in here!
01:01:17That was so funny, watching you walk over.
01:01:19Was it?
01:01:19With your shoes in there.
01:01:21I want a dress.
01:01:22I want a dress.
01:01:23Oh my gosh.
01:01:24You've had a little bit of an adventure.
01:01:25Maybe tickle around and become a little bit warm.
01:01:27Are you ready?
01:01:27I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready.
01:01:29Go.
01:01:29Okay.
01:01:33It's a big step.
01:01:37This is so beautiful!
01:01:39It's treasling.
01:01:40Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
01:01:41I'm enjoying this.
01:01:42I want it!
01:01:49Domenico.
01:01:52What an adventure this experience has been.
01:01:55I can wholeheartedly say that I could not have made it through this experiment without you.
01:02:01I think it's safe to say that throughout all this, I've felt pretty much, and I've told you this, pretty
01:02:06much every emotion possible.
01:02:09But I knew that no matter what, you were there by my side.
01:02:13You have shown me time and time again how empathetic, caring, and everything else you can be, and you've always
01:02:20been there to put a smile on my face.
01:02:26You have made this experiment one of the most incredible experiences of my life, not anything else.
01:02:34So, Domenico, I would love to continue this relationship on the outside world, because I truly do believe we have
01:02:46something great.
01:02:49We must switch this.
01:02:56Jack.
01:02:57Me?
01:02:58What a bloody, incredible journey it is that we've been on.
01:03:03From day one, we bonded.
01:03:05It is.
01:03:05It was instant chemistry.
01:03:08You said in your wedding vows that you wanted someone to challenge you, and I know I did just that.
01:03:14Yep.
01:03:19There was never a point in the experiment where I gave up.
01:03:23I always had hope, and I fought to grow our relationship between us.
01:03:28But it's no secret we have struggled throughout this experience.
01:03:33We've had some amazing times that I'll never forget.
01:03:37I can't deny that I thought by this point in the experiment, my feelings would be much deeper than where
01:03:41they are right now.
01:03:44I know what it feels like to walk away.
01:03:47It's an all-consuming decision that can completely change the course of your life.
01:03:53Throughout the entire experiment, I never gave up hope.
01:03:55Even through the toughest of times, because I wanted to believe that the chemistry we shared from day one meant
01:04:02something.
01:04:03And I don't want to walk away from you leaving any stone unturned.
01:04:08You are a one-in-a-million guy.
01:04:11I'm hoping that we can continue what we have into the real world.
01:04:16Because right now, it is too special to let go.
01:04:23That was beautiful.
01:04:25You know what?
01:04:34I miss you.
01:04:36I really did, too.
01:04:49Yay!
01:04:50That's it.
01:04:51I know.
01:04:52That's the end of the maps experiment journey.
01:04:55Wow, eh?
01:04:59My dress got ruined.
01:05:01Nah, who cares about the dress?
01:05:03The person that's in the dress.
01:05:08Seeing him there, it was just pure excitement.
01:05:10I forgot about everything else.
01:05:11It was just us.
01:05:12I turn around, and Tom's holding her shoes, running in the mud, like, towards me.
01:05:19It was...
01:05:20Oh.
01:05:21Once again, she puts a smile on my face.
01:05:25Come on.
01:05:27Oh, it's that...
01:05:28I'm just...
01:05:28Yeah, you've just got to embrace it.
01:05:32Look at your feet!
01:05:33You know, and you tell me I have dirty feet sometimes after this.
01:05:37This isn't the best.
01:05:40If I just walked away from it now, I wouldn't be able to, like, ever forgive myself for that,
01:05:46because when we're good, we're bloody amazing.
01:05:48And I feel like, in the real world, that's just going to be, like, tenfold.
01:05:53Hmm.
01:05:55Yeah.
01:06:07The betrayal.
01:06:09Betrayal.
01:06:10The deception.
01:06:11There are people looking for resolution.
01:06:14It's what all of Australia is dying to see.
01:06:20Have they come into this expecting an apology?
01:06:23Yes.
01:06:24I don't like the chances.
01:06:26The two greatest nights of television.
01:06:32Tomorrow, you tried to pick up Mitch when we got out of the experiment, and he rejected
01:06:36you.
01:06:36What?
01:06:36What?
01:06:37What?
01:06:37I tried to pick up Mitch.
01:06:39Oh, my God.
01:06:40We saw the call logs, and we saw the messages.
01:06:43She wanted a piece of Mitch.
01:06:45Sunday, the reunion dinner party.
01:06:48Why is it that you won't apologise to Dom for the photo?
01:06:51I'm not sorry.
01:06:52Oh, my God.
01:06:54Oh, hell.
01:06:55You're fake, mate.
01:06:55I'm fake.
01:06:57Your teeth are fake.
01:06:59Okay, where'd you get those done?
01:07:00Barley for $2.
01:07:02Breaks loose.
01:07:04They're all off.
01:07:06Whoa!
01:07:07Monday, the unbelievable finale.
01:07:11You do not understand the consequences of your behaviour.
01:07:15The bigger the lie.
01:07:17Why don't we take a look back to find out what happened?
01:07:19The harder.
01:07:20This is, like, my nightmare coming true.
01:07:22They fall.
01:07:24She smashed her wine glass.
01:07:27And then waved the broken wine glass in my face.
01:07:30I'm sorry.
01:07:31That is...
01:07:35Australia's biggest show...
01:07:36Do you have any regrets?
01:07:38...goes out...
01:07:39Oh, my God.
01:07:39Rewatch the footage.
01:07:40I don't want to listen to it anymore.
01:07:41...with one hell of a bang.
01:07:44Do you want to share the big news?
01:07:46What?
01:07:46What?
01:07:46Oh, no.
01:07:47Who ended the relationship?
01:07:50I can't.
01:07:53The Reunion.
01:07:55Tonight finale starts Sunday at 7 on 9.
