00:01:26place to start than the beginning so let's take a look back to see where it all began
00:02:00I'm sorry boys

00:03:08They are blue?
00:03:09I know.
00:03:13Sam, as I stand before you now, I'm nervous and my palms are sweaty, my knees are weak, my arms
00:03:18are heavy.
00:03:19They are, though.
00:03:19But I can't wait to try my new wife's spaghetti.
00:03:25I can't wait.
00:03:27Savage Garden once said, I knew I loved you before I met you.
00:03:35As long as you'll have me, I'll share my heart and happiness and life with you.
00:03:43I hope that you'll be patient, kind and love me unconditionally.
00:03:48Bunions and all.
00:03:49We'll not let your hand go when things get tough.
00:03:52I'm here for us today, tomorrow and always.
00:03:55I promise to keep an open heart.
00:03:57I can only hope that you do the same for me, because who knows, we may just be meant for
00:04:01each other.
00:04:02To you as friends and family.
00:04:03Without any further ado.
00:04:05I am very happy to pronounce you.

00:05:12Well shall we get our first couple up on the couch?
00:05:19Ella and Mitch
00:05:26Hello hello
00:05:28We were very very happy to watch you guys arrive last night with such beautiful energy looking so together
00:05:37I'm wondering how we got to that point yesterday because with the final vows we're confused
00:05:44So what happened?
00:05:47Mitch
00:05:48although like I was
00:05:50I didn't want to commit that nice
00:05:52I needed to go home and just see my friends and family and just sort of reset and then yeah
00:05:56once we once I got home
00:05:58I guess we were talking
00:06:00I was thinking about all day every day and I was always thinking about I was always wanting to be
00:06:04with her and yeah
00:06:06That was evident as soon as I got home
00:06:11So Mitch
00:06:14After the final vows
00:06:16Yeah
00:06:17What was it that made you decide I want to pursue Ella?
00:06:21I want a committed relationship with this woman
00:06:25Well I missed her
00:06:31And I was always thinking about it was like I want Ella to be in my world
00:06:40I need to know the status of your relationship with Ella
00:06:44Are you committed?
00:06:47Yes, we're together, she's my girlfriend
00:06:49Yes
00:06:49This is long term
00:06:51Yeah
00:06:52It's serious
00:06:53Yeah
00:06:56I'm into this girl
00:06:57Yeah, I
00:06:58I rate her
00:07:01Ella, how about you? How do you feel about Mitch?
00:07:05You know from the moment I met him in the experiment to now like

00:07:10I like Mitchell a lot
00:07:11I like, like Mitchell a lot
00:07:14I rate Mitchell

00:07:35We're together
00:07:36If things continue to grow and
00:07:38You know, keep going down that way
00:07:40Then yeah
00:07:41I mean you would expect to be falling in love
00:07:44I mean this is a very different Mitch and Ella here
00:07:47And I've got to say I really like the fact that you came out strong and hard there Mitch
00:07:51I put you on the spot and you didn't hesitate
00:07:55You're in
00:07:56I just feel more relaxed, more comfortable
00:07:59I think it's great
00:08:02I have a completely different view I think on dating and relationships now
00:08:10I was skeptical and I didn't think that whoever you guys met me with was going to work
00:08:17But hats off to you guys, tremendous job

00:09:08Well guys, it was so wonderful sitting there last night observing you walk into the cocktail party together
00:09:17still together i thought it was wonderful how you guys had gone through struggles and had
00:09:21continuously chosen to stay in the game and chosen one another and chosen to fight it out
00:09:28and we were seeing some beautiful results out of that
00:09:34let's have a reminder of how far you've come

00:10:03yeah
00:10:06there's that second yeah i put you yeah absolutely
00:10:14oh my hell
00:10:21is the lack of interest attraction and affection due to my nationality and look
00:10:30i'm not racist by any means
00:10:34to be honest that yeah short answer that probably did
00:10:50it's not something that bothers me or i'm worried about always sort of
00:10:53been open to the idea it's just not something i've never normally gone for
00:11:00ideally what i should have just said is hey like look yeah i haven't dated asia girl but it doesn't
00:11:05mean that's what's going through my head when i see you it's not how i look at you all i
00:11:10see is

00:12:04i'm truly grateful it was you i got to share this experience with
00:12:08after all is said and done
00:12:10from facing the good times and the bad i'll be stupid to let you go
00:12:15if you'll have me i want more than anything to continue this relationship with you
00:12:27i feel like with the outcome like all the struggles and all the really highs and really low lows
00:12:33yeah it's all been worth it because we're we're standing here together we made it we made it
00:12:42that was great
00:12:46really nice what a beautiful
00:12:50we obviously saw lots of ups and downs with the two of you and you know you've you've survived
00:12:56every part of that you've risen to the occasion how does it feel watching that guys
00:13:04um yeah like
00:13:08so i just feel very confused and silly or feeling the way that i do
00:13:18what do you mean what did you mean by that
00:13:28yeah
00:13:33yeah we actually
00:13:36we had you saw i was a bit off my game last night
00:13:40but selena and i decided to call things last night
00:13:46what what what oh no
00:13:51what
00:14:27they're calling it
00:14:30yeah
00:14:32this is new to us help us understand what's going on guys
00:14:39so i guess yeah we have we okay
00:14:44it's new to me too
00:14:48what selena who ended the relationship cody did
00:14:56and when did this happen like after we got back last night
00:15:01last night oh my god
00:15:04i mean things are great like we had a discussion that i was to move to sydney around like april
00:15:16he made all those moves like i never pressured any of that last night he was a bit
00:15:23more standoffish than usual after like obviously like everyone was gone i went and grabbed his hand
00:15:32and he kind of just like flinched and he kind of just like flinched and like took it away and
00:15:35i was like oh okay
00:15:37is it that bad holding my hand
00:15:40i just like i just don't want to
00:15:45and that's when i do say things like well why am i here like let me go you're not feeling
00:15:51it
00:15:54and he said i want to end things just yeah
00:16:00it was just a bit of a shock for me hearing that after we would just you know had made
00:16:05plans to move in together
00:16:14i really wanted this to work but i just thought to myself like throughout the experiment
00:16:19yes we did we had some really amazing times but we also had some shockers so we never quite
00:16:25lost that habit why ask her to move to sydney and live with you
00:16:33so the way i was sort of complaining it is like we put like we would plan to
00:16:37that was sincere obviously selena had a full conversation and when we did it we were in the
00:16:42best spot that yeah last night it got to the point where selena was just sort of grabbing my
00:16:47hand and placing it there and to me that felt very forced and
00:16:53yeah it was just a realization and it's for the best like i know i didn't show selena how much
00:16:59i
00:16:59cared and that's my biggest fault but she she needs someone who can show her and i i can't
00:17:15selena have you fallen in love with cody
00:17:21yeah
00:17:28sorry so what it's okay um yeah
00:17:40i just feel silly because i thought i thought this was love all like heading towards that direction
00:17:48because to me you don't ask someone to move in with you and leave your whole life from one state
00:17:54to
00:17:54another if you didn't feel something deep for them or feels you know you don't i don't know how to
00:18:00explain myself
00:18:14i feel horrible like to see how upset selena is
00:18:21like yeah like i don't even know i've made the right decision but oh
00:18:24off i'm i want like i really think it is the right one i it sucks
00:18:36honey that's really not helpful i know i know it's not and it's you know she needs clarity she's
00:18:41confused by your your your back flip here exactly she deserves it man
00:18:48right now looking at things in black and white terms do you see a future with selena
00:18:58i could do you or don't you
00:19:04she needs a response
00:19:11no
00:19:23well i have to say this has been an incredible surprise and shock for us this is certainly not
00:19:29what we were expecting
00:19:34and it's also very sad
00:19:38you know we've we've we've all really been on this journey with you and
00:19:42you know watched you go through these incredible highs and and real lows together and we're so
00:19:48sorry that that hasn't worked out
00:19:51and selena

00:21:57brent and tamara
00:22:11well guys you two didn't make it through the experiment
00:22:16but i guess one place we'd like to start is knowing what sort of contact you've had since breaking up

00:22:26zero
00:22:28zero

00:22:43yeah right okay i'll leave that in the past that's done i'm figuring better things in life
00:22:53okay well why don't we take a look back now at your time on the experiment
00:23:05hello hey nice to meet you how you doing nice to meet you brent hi brent i'm tamara nice to
00:23:12meet you samara where do you work the new bar restaurants and club
00:23:19why does he work in a nightclub he doesn't appear to be what i've hoped for average just isn't for
00:23:26me
00:23:26i'm not average i don't do average
00:23:32tonight's going really well and by well i mean my wife's a psychopath
00:23:43i need to ask you a very important question is he enough for you i don't know yet
00:23:50how's that feel brent do you that kicking the guts
00:23:56and that's been like my whole issue like with you this whole time is like the moods and the like
00:24:02you're being like i'm anxious and i'm this and i'm not and you're like that all the time so are
00:24:06you if not worse okay you haven't noticed that lately even like
00:24:11this is the slightest thing can tip you off i haven't wanted to be here lately
00:24:17what is brent is he like what does he do here i think he writes tables i honestly have no
00:24:23idea
00:24:25you have no idea what he does no no idea in three months of being with me you think i
00:24:31serve tables
00:24:32you haven't listened to a word i've said i really don't understand what you do for work he's a venue
00:24:37manager every single person he knows but you yeah what's a jack of all trades and maybe that's probably
00:24:43why they respect me more than you do because you treat me like a dickhead yeah
00:24:57tomorrow you became vindictive spiteful and self-absorbed i was made to feel like a fool
00:25:02chasing you around for the smallest amount of decency and respect that anyone in the world
00:25:06should show another human
00:25:11so on that note good luck good riddance
00:25:28there you go what's it like for you tomorrow when you watch that back
00:25:38um it's not pleasant i think the main thing in that and it was so highlighted about
00:25:43me thinking i'm better than brent it's 100 not that
00:25:49may i just say something
00:25:53what i've seen from this video and what i've heard is you had an issue with the job title that's
00:25:58what it
00:25:58was instead of saying he might have been doing that no i didn't well that's what it sounds like
00:26:04i mean you did yeah because he wasn't confident about it it always changed
00:26:11like you weren't like you didn't talk about it like with this light up or anything like that
00:26:18or maybe because you get a facial when you say you're a restaurant manager you get
00:26:22thank you and that's where it started so to be honest that's exactly where it started
00:26:25oh my face might have looked like that but that's not how i feel it doesn't sound like it though
00:26:29that's why i'm that's why i'm questioning it with us all the time well exactly obviously i wasn't hence
00:26:35why i'm asking so i answered your question tomorrow
00:26:44tamara i want to clarify there was talk about a phone call last night that mitch made to you i
00:26:50believe

00:31:38You guys are the best.
00:31:38Yeah.
00:31:41Well, it's time now to get our next two people up on the couch.
00:31:47And to be fair, it's probably not going to be comfortable for them.
00:31:53Let's go.
00:31:54Carolina, come and join us on the couch.
00:32:03I'm sorry, I'm...
00:32:05It doesn't even make sense, why would I sit there?
00:32:17All right, Carolina, you stay right where you are.
00:32:21Okay, thank you.
00:32:25I'm used to it on this couch on my own anyway.
00:32:34Now, Dion, you and Carolina came in as a late couple.
00:32:38Yes.
00:32:39And it didn't seem like you ever really truly got out of first gear.
00:32:44No.
00:32:45How would you describe it?
00:32:48I really tried to please Carolina and be there for her as much as I possibly could.
00:32:53And it just wasn't getting anywhere.
00:32:56No matter what you did or how I did it or how much I tried, the walls weren't coming down.
00:33:03And for you, Carolina, why do you think it never got out of first gear?
00:33:10I just didn't feel any, any sort of connection.
00:33:17Yeah, that's what it was.
00:33:22We were all shocked when Daniel and Carolina, you walked into that commitment ceremony as a couple.
00:33:30We had no idea that the two of you had formed any sort of connection.
00:33:39So what we're going to do now is we're going to take a look at how your connection started
00:33:51and how it developed.
00:33:54Receipts, receipts.
00:33:56Yeah, I want the receipts.
00:33:58No, these are the receipts.
00:34:00Gimme, gimme.
00:34:04It's very typical for her to be late.
00:34:09What's a few hours, you know, he's had the rest of his life with me.
00:34:16I'm Dion.
00:34:17Nice to meet you.
00:34:18Nice to meet you.
00:34:19Pretty short, aren't you?
00:34:21Are you attracted to me?
00:34:24I, I don't think I'm attracted to you yet.
00:34:28Yeah, I wonder why.
00:34:30She's seen something else she likes.
00:34:32Yeah, like, this clearly isn't working and I'm not going to fake it.
00:34:36I'm, I'm leaving.
00:34:38I do feel like my experience here has been cut short and robbed.
00:34:44At the dinner party, me and Caroline, I had a conversation and I had a bit of support.
00:34:51And if you have any, do you know, someone's shocked you or, you know.
00:34:54I got you.
00:35:02Greetings.
00:35:04Hello.
00:35:05I'm okay.
00:35:07Are you okay?
00:35:09Cheers to broken marriage, Liz.
00:35:17Hi, Dion.
00:35:18Yeah.
00:35:19Um, I'm going to the gym at 7.30.
00:35:23Hello.
00:35:24How are you?
00:35:25Not too bad.
00:35:26How are you?
00:35:26Good.
00:35:28I think Dana was cute.
00:35:32Oh, when you guys are spending time together at this time.
00:35:34Shut up.
00:35:36You're, you're telling me.
00:35:38I'm, I'm the one that's trying.
00:35:40You are delusional.
00:35:42Oh.
00:35:42I do think that there's a connection there with Daniel.
00:35:46Yeah, I'm willing to explore that.
00:35:53I like you looking at me right now.
00:35:55It makes me want to kiss you.
00:36:00Oh, no.
00:36:04That's hot.
00:36:05I like that.
00:36:07So this is after.
00:36:08No, no, no, no.
00:36:09I actually, this is.
00:36:16Good morning.
00:36:19Oh, my God.
00:36:20Oh, my gosh.
00:36:23You know what I was feeling like out of disgust?
00:36:28It's been a one-way street.
00:36:29It's been a one-way street, has it?
00:36:31I said to you, I'm happy to try to build the friendship,
00:36:33and you don't even want to die.
00:36:36Come closer then.
00:36:38Okay.
00:36:40You look tan, life in Bondi is like.
00:36:43Legit, yeah.
00:36:44Going to the beach every day.
00:36:45Yeah.
00:37:10Oh, my God.
00:37:11Oh, turn it off.
00:37:23Oh, my God.
00:37:26Oh, my God.
00:37:29Oh, my God.
00:37:30What the heck?
00:37:34I feel like I'm going to have diarrhea
00:37:36after watching that.
00:37:53Oh, turn it off.
00:38:01Wow.
00:38:04I'm so sure, because that's just been timestamped.
00:38:11So, and I'm so sorry that you had to watch that, mate.
00:38:14But just to clarify the time, Sam,
00:38:16for anyone that is wondering,
00:38:18when was the yelling match after that first thing
00:38:22that you weren't trying hard enough?
00:38:24Don had left the room.
00:38:26Yeah, hold on.
00:38:26I'm not talking to you.
00:38:30Second week, probably.
00:38:31Exactly.
00:38:32She's still having a crack at him,
00:38:34who's being a gentleman quite clearly,
00:38:37during those time periods.
00:38:38It's just really horrible to see.
00:38:39That sucks.
00:38:46It's just, like, so intentional,
00:38:48like, her actions and their...
00:38:50It's, like, there's just so...
00:38:51Everything was thought out.
00:38:52Everything was done with her.
00:38:53It was just so calculated and premeditated
00:38:54and intentional and, like, there was just...
00:38:57What a knob.
00:38:58It's just a shame that that's their love story.
00:39:01These are all single.
00:39:02Shut up.
00:39:03Mind your own business.
00:39:05These are all single.
00:39:06Shut up.
00:39:06Oh, my God.
00:39:07It's so funny.
00:39:08It's actually hilarious.
00:39:09It's actually hilarious.
00:39:12All right, guys, hold it just for a minute.
00:39:15Dion, how does it feel to have watched this?
00:39:19Yeah, look, it's not nice to watch.
00:39:23No one wants to see that.
00:39:25It's betrayal.
00:39:27Did you have any inkling
00:39:29that there was a connection between them?
00:39:31I'd actually sent a message to my mother
00:39:34saying I think she's maybe playing up on me
00:39:36and that she might have a guy on the outside.
00:39:40I didn't realise there was someone on the inside.
00:39:44Carolina, do you have any regrets
00:39:46about the way you handled yourself in this situation?
00:39:51Obviously, I'm sorry that I've hurt your feelings along the way.
00:39:56You didn't hurt my feelings
00:39:58because that I'm a big boy.
00:40:02You know, the lead on,
00:40:04the torment that you put me through
00:40:08to say that I don't try
00:40:10or I'm not doing this
00:40:11or I'm not doing that,
00:40:14you should have just been a big woman
00:40:16and stood up and said,
00:40:18I don't want to do this.
00:40:19I've met someone else.
00:40:22And it's just disrespectful.
00:40:24And I'm sorry that you have to go through life
00:40:26living your life being disrespectful.
00:40:33Daniel, how do you feel watching
00:40:35what we all just had to sit here and watch?
00:40:40Um, look, if I'm being completely honest,
00:40:44I look at that personally
00:40:46and there's good emotions
00:40:47because I met this person.
00:40:50If you want the honest truth,
00:40:52that's how I feel.
00:40:57You don't get it.
00:41:00The two of you
00:41:02simply do not understand
00:41:04the consequences of your behaviour.
00:41:09What you showed us last night
00:41:11was not you as a unified team at all.
00:41:16Yeah.
00:41:18It showed us
00:41:20that you were deeply insecure,
00:41:22trying to compensate
00:41:24but failing miserably as a couple.
00:41:27Not only did you come in unapologetic
00:41:31and smug,
00:41:33you targeted Dion
00:41:35throughout the evening,
00:41:37belittling him
00:41:38and going after him
00:41:40and heckling him
00:41:41and you need to apologise for it.
00:41:43I don't want to hear maybes,
00:41:45perhaps, possibles.
00:41:47I want you to own it
00:41:49and be accountable.
00:41:52Um,
00:41:54yeah, I'm sorry for hurting your feelings
00:41:56again.
00:41:57Um,
00:41:58and
00:41:59it was selfish
00:42:00but, um,
00:42:07I don't regret it.
00:42:08I'm,
00:42:08I'm happy.
00:42:10I'm happy
00:42:10and that's,
00:42:12like,
00:42:12I deserve.
00:42:13Oh,
00:42:14God.
00:42:16I actually can't deal.
00:42:20Is that the best you've got,
00:42:22Carolina?
00:42:23Daniel,
00:42:24do you want to have a crack?
00:42:25See what you can do
00:42:26in terms of a proper apology.
00:42:28It's going to be difficult.
00:42:29Not really.
00:42:30Not really.
00:42:31It's quite simple.
00:42:33All I can say
00:42:34is I'm sorry
00:42:35your feelings got hurt.
00:42:36We did something
00:42:37that's not ideal.
00:42:39It's an experiment.
00:42:40You got your feelings hurt.
00:42:45The reason why we are absolutely holding your feet to the fire tonight
00:42:51is because this is the only opportunity we have here
00:42:54that you might learn something in the future.
00:42:59I gave you an opportunity to apologize,
00:43:01to make amends
00:43:02and actually show some remorse
00:43:05and some empathy
00:43:06and some understanding.
00:43:08You dropped the ball.
00:43:11I'm just hoping tonight
00:43:12that you two
00:43:14sit back and think
00:43:17everyone in that room
00:43:18gave us
00:43:19a very strong signal
00:43:21about our behavior.
00:43:23Maybe we better do it different.
00:43:27A lack of empathy
00:43:28will get you nowhere.
00:43:31So Dion,
00:43:31I'm going to give you the last word.
00:43:35It's a shame
00:43:36it panned out the way it is
00:43:37but
00:43:38I've learned so much
00:43:40through this whole experience.
00:43:43I wish we all find love.
00:43:47Even Daniel and Carolina.
00:43:51As hard as it is to say,
00:43:53I hope they can find love.
00:43:55Whether it's with the two of them together
00:43:57or it's with separate people.
00:44:00Well said.
00:44:01And we appreciate
00:44:03you turning up,
00:44:04fronting up
00:44:05and having to watch some things
00:44:06that are pretty difficult to swallow.
00:44:09But we have loved
00:44:10having you on the experiment.
00:44:12It's been a delight.
00:44:14Your heart's been in the right place
00:44:15and there is no doubt
00:44:17that there is someone down the line
00:44:18that is waiting for you
00:44:20who's going to treat you well.
00:44:22Yep.
00:44:22I'm sure there is.
00:44:23So,
00:44:23thank you.
00:44:25Thank you guys.
00:44:25Appreciate it.
00:44:26Well done.
00:44:36Next.
00:44:38Olivia and Dom,
00:44:39you just didn't gel
00:44:40during this experiment.
00:44:41The tale of the tape
00:44:43Jesus.
00:44:44will hit home.
00:44:45It got to a point
00:44:46where it was just
00:44:47so nasty
00:44:48I couldn't sit there
00:44:49and watch it.
00:44:50The video
00:44:51spoke for us all.
00:44:52Oh, you're an angel.
00:44:54Don't worry,
00:44:55everyone else is wrong.
00:45:06OK, well,
00:45:06now it's time
00:45:07to get our next couple
00:45:08up on the couch.
00:45:10I think it's fair to say
00:45:11that this couple
00:45:12had one of the deepest connections
00:45:14from the word go.
00:45:17Obviously,
00:45:18we're talking about
00:45:19Olivia and Jackson.
00:45:20Coming up.
00:45:25Hello.
00:45:26Hello, you too.
00:45:28How are we?
00:45:30We're very well.
00:45:31How about you guys?
00:45:33We're amazing.
00:45:34Yeah?
00:45:35Yeah, we're doing really well.
00:45:37We moved in together
00:45:39this week.
00:45:40Wow.
00:45:40Very big.
00:45:41It's huge news.
00:45:44So, Jackson,
00:45:45you've moved
00:45:46to New South Wales.
00:45:47Yep.
00:45:48Tell us about that.
00:45:49So, I wanted to give this,
00:45:51I see something
00:45:51very special here
00:45:52and I wanted to give it
00:45:53everything
00:45:54and I think this was
00:45:55the way to do it.
00:45:56Thank you, baby.
00:45:57I agree.
00:45:58Wow.
00:45:58Got spare room, guys,

00:46:05such a
00:46:06consistent
00:46:07development
00:46:08of the relationship
00:46:09that we've
00:46:09been observing
00:46:10with you.
00:46:12So,
00:46:13why don't we
00:46:13take a moment
00:46:14to watch
00:46:14how it all

00:47:03That's lovely.
00:47:05I just had to stay

00:47:08I said stay.
00:47:09You said stay
00:47:10times a thousand.
00:47:11A really tough call
00:47:12to make,
00:47:13so I'll stay.
00:47:17Last night,
00:47:19I broke a glass.
00:47:22Things were said
00:47:24to me in a way
00:47:25that triggered
00:47:27really deep traumas
00:47:28for me.
00:47:29It's not an excuse.
00:47:33you were giving
00:47:34snide comments
00:47:35all night.
00:47:36Not all night.
00:47:38I counted three.
00:47:40Coming from you
00:47:41of all people,
00:47:43Jackson.
00:47:44I don't want to say
00:47:44something and upset
00:47:46Jackson.
00:47:47Ain't that so awful
00:47:48for me to feel like that?
00:47:50I'm literally
00:47:51like living in my
00:47:52worst,
00:47:52like,
00:47:52worst nightmare.
00:47:53there.

00:48:03core of my being
00:48:04that you're the
00:48:04right man for me.
00:48:06Jackson,
00:48:06I love you.
00:48:10That was my breath.
00:48:33What a love story.
00:48:37A few tears there,
00:48:38Liv.
00:48:39Happy tears,
00:48:40happy tears,
00:48:41happy tears.
00:48:42What are the emotions
00:48:43coming up for you?
00:48:45Honestly,
00:48:46like,
00:48:47watching the wedding
00:48:48and every step
00:48:49that I've had with him,
00:48:50even the hiccups,
00:48:52the hard moments,
00:48:53it's like,
00:48:54I'm still just
00:48:55bursting at the seams
00:48:56with happiness
00:48:57that I get to be
00:48:58with him.
00:49:00I really do see
00:49:01us growing old
00:49:02together,
00:49:03you know,
00:49:04and I can't wait
00:49:05for it.
00:49:05I can't wait
00:49:06for all the moments
00:49:07in between

00:49:15and I want her
00:49:15to see me
00:49:16in all elements

00:49:19you grow that
00:49:20connection with

00:49:24you've seen the
00:49:24worst and
00:49:25you're still happy
00:49:26to be there.
00:49:28and,
00:49:28you've seen the
00:49:29worst,
00:49:30I've hoped
00:49:30you've seen
00:49:30a little bit
00:49:31better.
00:49:34This is not
00:49:35easy.
00:49:35As you've both
00:49:36found,
00:49:37there've been
00:49:37challenges
00:49:38and you've
00:49:39risen to the
00:49:40occasion.
00:49:41So,
00:49:43congratulations,
00:49:44we couldn't
00:49:44be happier.
00:49:47Well done.
00:50:04One of the
00:50:05very interesting
00:50:05parts of this
00:50:06experiment
00:50:07is that not
00:50:09only do the
00:50:10individuals need
00:50:11to try and get
00:50:12along within
00:50:14their relationship,
00:50:15but also
00:50:16they're challenged
00:50:17by how they
00:50:18interact
00:50:19amongst the
00:50:20group
00:50:20and not
00:50:22everybody
00:50:22gets along.
00:50:25Now,
00:50:26we saw that
00:50:27this year
00:50:28two people
00:50:29in particular
00:50:30who struggled
00:50:32to get along
00:50:33during several
00:50:34parts of the
00:50:35experiment
00:50:36were Olivia
00:50:37and Dom.
00:50:43So,
00:50:43we're going
00:50:44to take a look
00:50:44now at some
00:50:46of the key
00:50:47moments that
00:50:48occurred
00:50:49between the
00:50:49two of them
00:50:50throughout
00:50:51this year's
00:50:52experiment.
00:50:54I did not
00:50:54see that
00:50:55coming.
00:50:56This is like
00:50:57my nightmare
00:50:58coming true.
00:50:59Oh, boy.
00:51:01Here comes
00:51:01the awkward
00:51:02face.
00:51:04You don't
00:51:04have to like
00:51:05Dion.
00:51:06It doesn't
00:51:06mean you have
00:51:07to be a bitch
00:51:07to Dion.
00:51:08That's what I'm
00:51:08trying to say.
00:51:09You don't have to be a bitch
00:51:09to me and you
00:51:10hug me a bitch to me.
00:51:11That was like
00:51:11that was like
00:51:11that was like
00:51:12that was like
00:51:12that's how I feel.
00:51:14I just think
00:51:15choose your words
00:51:16really carefully
00:51:17because when you
00:51:17swear it comes
00:51:18off way more
00:51:19aggressive.
00:51:19I really hate
00:51:19to be told
00:51:20choose my words
00:51:21wisely.
00:51:21Guess what?
00:51:22I'll choose my
00:51:23words because
00:51:24they're my words.
00:51:25We all watched
00:51:26her get her ass
00:51:27handed to her on the couch.
00:51:27We've heard all this.
00:51:28We heard all this.
00:51:29We deserved because
00:51:30the way that you were
00:51:31treated down was not
00:51:31okay.
00:51:32I'm sorry,
00:51:33am I boring you?
00:51:34No, no, no.
00:51:34The conversation is so
00:51:36boring.
00:51:36The fact that it's like
00:51:37she got her ass
00:51:38handed to her.
00:51:39We've all been there
00:51:40all the f***ing time.
00:51:42So my voice isn't
00:51:42okay?
00:51:43Apparently not.
00:51:45Is she f***ing serious?
00:51:46I think like
00:51:47for me I'm
00:51:48No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:51:49Like my f***ing life
00:51:51I've been f***ing told
00:51:52that my voice isn't
00:51:53f***ing enough.
00:51:55That's a joke.
00:51:56I said.
00:51:56No, no, no.
00:51:57Do you know what's
00:51:58f***ing aggressive?
00:51:59She's screaming at me
00:52:00and telling me
00:52:00that my voice isn't
00:52:02enough.
00:52:04I do not care
00:52:05to find a way forward.
00:52:06I do not care.
00:52:07I don't,
00:52:08I don't want to be
00:52:09associated with
00:52:10white trash like that.
00:52:13She got up
00:52:14and stood over me
00:52:16and smashed her
00:52:17wine glass
00:52:17and then proceeded
00:52:18to wave.
00:52:18What?
00:52:19When you say
00:52:19smashed the wine glass
00:52:20what are we doing?
00:52:21Smashed it.
00:52:22On the table.
00:52:22Grabbed it.
00:52:23And then waved
00:52:23the broken wine glass
00:52:25in my face
00:52:26while she stood over me
00:52:27and screamed
00:52:28like a weapon.
00:52:29Like a weapon.
00:52:30Like a weapon.
00:52:32Oh.
00:52:34Bulls***.
00:52:35She wasn't
00:52:36holding it at you.
00:52:37But she wouldn't
00:52:38let go.
00:52:38It wasn't,
00:52:39she wasn't using it
00:52:40as a weapon.
00:52:41She did not
00:52:41put it down
00:52:42for a while.
00:52:43It was being
00:52:43waved around.
00:52:47Um.
00:52:48Do I need like
00:52:49a Xanax
00:52:50before we have
00:52:50this chat
00:52:51or what?
00:52:54So I wanted
00:52:55to apologise
00:52:55to all the women
00:52:57that were there
00:52:57last night.
00:52:58And yeah,
00:52:59I just wanted
00:53:00the right time.
00:53:00Like it's never
00:53:01a right time
00:53:01to be like,
00:53:02hey sorry
00:53:03I broke a glass
00:53:03in your face.
00:53:09If someone
00:53:10smashes a wine glass
00:53:11in your face
00:53:12you Google them.
00:53:14It's out there.
00:53:15I have no idea
00:53:16who's standing in the group.
00:53:18I just sent the photos
00:53:19through.
00:53:20So my bad
00:53:20but also
00:53:22I don't really care
00:53:22enough to like
00:53:23double think it.
00:53:26Hello.
00:53:27How are you?
00:53:29That's irrelevant.
00:53:31What I want to know
00:53:31is where
00:53:33these images
00:53:33came from,
00:53:34who found them,
00:53:36whose phones
00:53:36they're on,
00:53:37what's the go?
00:53:40I don't need this
00:53:41actually.
00:53:42I don't need you
00:53:43to come to my house
00:53:43and yell at me.
00:53:44It's fine.
00:53:45Go have fun.
00:53:46I'm yelling, am I?
00:53:50Maybe there's
00:53:51a little room there
00:53:52for a little
00:53:53human empathy.
00:53:56As far as empathy
00:53:57I just don't have it.
00:53:59It's just not in me.
00:54:00I don't care.
00:54:03This is just another
00:54:04case of you being awful.
00:54:06Okay, stop.
00:54:07You're sitting there
00:54:08and calling me
00:54:09an awful person.
00:54:10Okay?
00:54:11And I'm not going
00:54:11to take it.
00:54:12All right.
00:54:14Let's go there then.
00:54:17Oh, mom.
00:54:18What do you mean?
00:54:19Well, I thought
00:54:20like what we two
00:54:21when you're in my
00:54:22apartment in front
00:54:22of all of us girls
00:54:24saying that Jack
00:54:25can't f*** you right
00:54:26because he f***ed
00:54:26too quickly.
00:54:38Sheesh.
00:54:44Jesus.
00:54:48Evil.
00:54:51That's evil.
00:54:53Evil.
00:54:56Evil.
00:55:00Sheesh.
00:55:06Hey, Ella, where was me waving the weapon around?
00:55:09It's in front of her face.
00:55:11Because all she's been saying is that I fashioned a weapon
00:55:14and was waving a weapon around.
00:55:16You didn't wave the weapon.
00:55:17Yeah, exactly.
00:55:19And everybody said that you did.
00:55:20Are you an angel?
00:55:22Don't worry, everyone else is wrong.
00:55:25May I?
00:55:26From what I saw,
00:55:28you didn't fashion a weapon.
00:55:31You seemed quite frustrated.
00:55:33Look at that.
00:55:34It's on the telly right there.
00:55:36The video speaks for itself.
00:55:38We can see.
00:55:40We can see it.
00:55:48Well, clearly, Olivia and Dom,
00:55:51you just didn't gel during this experiment.
00:55:56And if I go to you first, Olivia,
00:55:59what was it that really wound you up about Dom?
00:56:05To put it simply, I didn't like the way that Dominica spoke to people.
00:56:09Like, it's as simple as that.
00:56:14It got to a point where it was just so nasty,
00:56:17I couldn't sit there and watch it.
00:56:20So you just perpetuated the nastiness.
00:56:23Well, yeah.
00:56:24Yeah, like, that's...
00:56:26Which is easy to do.
00:56:26And for me, I mean,
00:56:27I mean, the reason that I can't stand her
00:56:29is because I think she's very smug.
00:56:31And I think she's been smug from week one.
00:56:35I don't like that.
00:56:36I don't like smug behaviour,
00:56:38especially in an environment where,
00:56:40um, I guess we are all on different levels.
00:56:44But I just think that when I see injustice
00:56:47or things that aren't right,
00:56:48I speak up and that's how I've been my entire life
00:56:51and I'm not going to apologise for that
00:56:52and I'm not going to change.
00:56:54That's how I feel just on the other end of the spectrum.
00:56:57Maybe we're just very similar in that way
00:56:59and it just clashes.
00:57:00No, I don't think we're similar at all.
00:57:03Please don't compare me to you.
00:57:06Because I would never...
00:57:07I would never do what you did to me,
00:57:10to any other woman or to any other human being.
00:57:14You know, like, just for instance,
00:57:15someone goes and sources a story and a photo
00:57:18and then uses that as ammunition.
00:57:21Seriously, I actually don't even have anything to say
00:57:23because the video spoke for itself.
00:57:30Olivia, do you have any regrets?
00:57:33Of course I do.
00:57:34Of course I do.
00:57:35I don't like speaking to people
00:57:37like how I've spoken to Dominika.
00:57:40What about you, Dom?
00:57:42Have you got any regrets?
00:57:46Yeah, look, I mean, in regrets,
00:57:49obviously my actions at the girls' night at the retreat.
00:57:54I think that just set off a series of events
00:57:56that I really wish had never happened.
00:57:59But when it comes to saying...
00:58:05..my opinion and voicing my concern
00:58:07and speaking up, I have no regrets.
00:58:12Whatever I brought to the table,
00:58:14it was never used as ammunition.
00:58:18It was never hurt or said in malice.
00:58:20And I think that can't be said
00:58:22for a lot of other people sitting here tonight.
00:58:32Well, let's get our next couple up.
00:58:37Dom and Jack.
00:58:46Well, I've got to say,
00:58:47as we watched the arrivals last night
00:58:50at the cocktail party,
00:58:52we were a little surprised
00:58:54and certainly a bit disappointed
00:58:55to see you guys arrive separately.
00:58:58Yeah.
00:59:00Help us understand what happened there.
00:59:03Yeah, I think for me, you know,
00:59:06where we left things after final vows,
00:59:12you know, I don't think we were in the strongest place,
00:59:15but we, you know, vowed to each other
00:59:18that we would try and leave the experiment
00:59:21to pursue what could be.
00:59:27I really feel as though I reached out to Jack
00:59:32and tried to keep communication
00:59:35and tried to, you know,
00:59:37keep what we had going in the experiment.
00:59:41But for me, I do feel like it wasn't reciprocated
00:59:44as much as I would have liked.
00:59:48Which is a little bit disappointing,
00:59:50you know, not going to lie.
00:59:54From my angle,
00:59:56and, you know, 100% I'll take accountability,
00:59:58as Dom said,
00:59:59look, maybe I didn't reach out as much.
01:00:02I think I had a lot of time
01:00:04to sort of reflect
01:00:06on the last tail end of the experiment.
01:00:09And we did get to a point
01:00:11where it was still even at the end,
01:00:12you know, you were still uncertain
01:00:13about how you felt
01:00:14and where we were at.
01:00:18And I think for me,
01:00:19that lack of certainty
01:00:22pushed down my desire to continue.
01:00:26The end of our relationship
01:00:28was still very maybe.
01:00:32It's shit
01:00:33because we kind of, like,
01:00:35flipped and reversed
01:00:36because at the start,
01:00:37I was, like, really, like...
01:00:38Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:00:38Yeah, like, I'm into this.
01:00:40Like, I'm really, you know, keen.
01:00:41And then we kind of had that rough patch
01:00:44and then things kind of flipped.
01:00:47Yeah.
01:00:47And now we're here.
01:00:49Yeah.
01:00:54Can I share an observation with you?
01:00:56I'd love to.
01:00:58Watching the two of you last night,
01:01:00you just look like Dom and Jack together.
01:01:03I know.
01:01:04You look like a couple.
01:01:05Yeah.
01:01:05It felt like we just kind of fit back
01:01:07straight into that mould.
01:01:08It was, yeah.
01:01:09You had each other's backs,
01:01:10you were supporting each other,
01:01:12there was the touching.
01:01:14Yeah.
01:01:14I still see it.
01:01:15Right now.
01:01:16Body language.
01:01:17The way you guys sit
01:01:18and interact with one another.
01:01:21Are we allowed to hold some hope
01:01:23for you two?
01:01:26Hmm.
01:01:29I mean...
01:01:43Watching the two of you last night,
01:01:46you look like a couple.
01:01:47Are we allowed to hold some hope for you two?
01:01:54I mean...
01:02:05Justin Bieber said it,
01:02:06never say never.
01:02:09She's quoted the bees.
01:02:11I'm quoting the bees.
01:02:12I will never say never.
01:02:13I will fight till forever.
01:02:19It's like an open-ended kind of...
01:02:22Look, life's life,
01:02:24and let's see what happens.
01:02:26Who knows what the future
01:02:27may hold for us.
01:02:32I will want to say this
01:02:33before you guys leave the couch.
01:02:36My sense listening to you today
01:02:39is that I think that both of you,
01:02:42perhaps holding on to a little fear
01:02:44and waiting for the other
01:02:46to give the cue.
01:02:48Yeah, definitely.
01:02:50I have a lot of hope
01:02:51for the future for you,
01:02:52so I just want to leave that with you
01:02:55in case perhaps
01:02:57it wakes something up
01:02:59for either one of you.
01:03:01Regardless of what happens,
01:03:02the best of luck moving forward.
01:03:04Thank you so much.
01:03:05Thank you so much, guys.
01:03:16I made it to the end.
01:03:18Couldn't have been matched
01:03:18with a more amazing girl,
01:03:20and I don't have a crystal ball.
01:03:22I don't know what the future holds,
01:03:24but she's in my life,
01:03:26whether, you know,
01:03:28one way or another,
01:03:29and that's the truth.
01:03:31Well, that officially brings us
01:03:33to the end of the reunion
01:03:35and the end to the experiment.
01:03:39Eleven couples have participated
01:03:41this year
01:03:42in what has been
01:03:44an absolutely unique
01:03:45and memorable experience
01:03:48for all of us.
01:03:50Some of you found love.
01:03:53Others found more
01:03:55out about themselves
01:03:56than they knew coming in.
01:03:59And I think
01:04:00all of you
01:04:01can be congratulated
01:04:03for putting your hand up,
01:04:05being courageous,
01:04:06and jumping in,
01:04:07and taking away with you
01:04:09either true love
01:04:11or a better understanding
01:04:13of how to make it work.
01:04:15We wish you all the very best
01:04:17and good luck for the future.
01:04:19Well done.
01:04:21Aw.
01:04:24Aw.
01:04:27Mate.
01:04:28Great job.
01:04:30Great, great, great job.
