00:00:00With the experiment in its final stages...
00:00:03I really want to thank Mel for her advice.
00:00:05To focus on the emotional safety.
00:00:07That was just like a penny drop moment for me.
00:00:10Guidance from the experts helped Stella and Phillip
00:00:13get their relationship back on track.
00:00:15I wrote stare.
00:00:18And last night saw some continue to celebrate
00:00:21their love for one another.
00:00:23I feel really connected to Rachel, we're getting closer.
00:00:25I would like to leave.
00:00:29Chris blindsided Sam.
00:00:31Stay.
00:00:32In this experiment, one person says stay
00:00:34and the other person says leave.
00:00:36The couple stays.
00:00:37He asked me to be his girlfriend.
00:00:39What inspired you to ask Beck that question?
00:00:42And when it was time to open up and reveal his true feelings...
00:00:46It was important to Beck.
00:00:48Why was it important to you?
00:00:50Danny squirmed his way through an uncomfortable couch session.
00:00:54The question, what was it like?
00:00:55Could you see yourself falling in love with him?
00:00:58It's a pretty black and white question.
00:01:00I don't think you can promise that before you're in love with someone.
00:01:03Salesman answer.
00:01:07Tonight, the experiment goes across the country.
00:01:12Welcome home.
00:01:13Hello.
00:01:15Homestays week has arrived.
00:01:17Over two big nights, our couples get a glimpse of what married life will look like...
00:01:22Today.
00:01:23...beyond the experiment.
00:01:25Woo!
00:01:26Passenger princess!
00:01:28Steven sets sail on an exciting new future with Rachel.
00:01:32This is such a special place for him.
00:01:34How lucky am I for him to have welcomed me into this?
00:01:37I kind of like holding a rod and getting kissed.
00:01:40Oh, hang on.
00:01:43My vibes on the wedding day weren't really positive.
00:01:46And I'm here to protect her.
00:01:48Stella's outspoken guests from her wedding day are back.
00:01:52So, like, I've...
00:01:53I'm getting...
00:01:54Sorry to interrupt you.
00:01:55I'm getting some not-so-confident vibes from over here.
00:01:59And then...
00:02:00Welcome.
00:02:01Scott shows off to Gia his waterside home.
00:02:05Oh, it's a bit messy.
00:02:06So random.
00:02:08Weird.
00:02:09This wouldn't be big enough.
00:02:10It'd be better if that wasn't there.
00:02:11Is Gia the most high-maintenance house guest Scott's ever seen?
00:02:16Um, my house is way cleaner.
00:02:18Ugh.
00:02:19Yeah, I couldn't...I couldn't live here.
00:02:20If the roles were reversed and I was at Gia's house, I wouldn't say anything but nice things.
00:02:33It's the beginning of one of the most exciting phases of the experiment.
00:02:38Homestays.
00:02:39Can't believe I'm actually going to Adelaide.
00:02:41I know.
00:02:42I think you're gonna love it.
00:02:44And this year, each of our couples will be going to the destination where they plan to live beyond the
00:02:50experiment.
00:02:52Ready to go?
00:02:53What do you pack?
00:02:54Ready to go to Adelaide.
00:02:57Radelite.
00:02:58The homestays have always been an essential part of the Married at First Sight experiment,
00:03:03as it allows our participants valuable insight into their partner's world.
00:03:08They'll have to blindfold you on the way to the fishing spot.
00:03:11But once we get there, I can take the blindfold off and catch a few, uh, flatties.
00:03:17Yeah.
00:03:17And, oh, there might be a blindfold in the bedroom too.
00:03:20Oh, no, babes.
00:03:22Not at your parents' house.
00:03:23Sorry.
00:03:25This week is also the perfect opportunity for our couples to put into practice all that they've learned from the
00:03:31experiment so far,
00:03:33and apply it to the outside world.
00:03:35As most of our couples are packed and ready to embark on their individual journeys,
00:03:41Phillip is feeling the pressure as homestays could make or break his future with Stella.
00:03:48He is the one expected to make the move from Melbourne to Sydney.
00:03:52All you need to have is some board shorts.
00:03:55Some boardies, some shorts.
00:03:56That's it.
00:03:57Shorts.
00:03:58Anything else?
00:03:59Like toothbrush?
00:04:01We don't brush teeth out in Cronulla, do we?
00:04:03Yeah.
00:04:03I just want to see Stella kind of, you know, natural environment outside the experiment.
00:04:08I'm obviously from Melbourne.
00:04:09I love it there.
00:04:10The pressure's going to be on my decision to move to Sydney.
00:04:14Since we first got together, we're always talking about it and, you know, kind of spending some time out there.
00:04:20Particularly, um, even after the experiment.
00:04:22So it feels like it's come around in like two seconds.
00:04:24We obviously work in this experiment.
00:04:26And this is just the further validation that our relationship will work on the outside.
00:04:32If I can see myself there.
00:04:35Super keen to get out of this concrete jungle.
00:04:38Yeah, I know.
00:04:38And we're gonna switcheroo for some beach action.
00:04:42Yeah.
00:04:44Done.
00:04:46Across the hall, however, Gia and Scott are still recovering from last night's tense couch session.
00:04:57I don't like drama.
00:04:58I don't like any of that.
00:04:59I don't want it in my life.
00:05:00And I know Gia's been involved in some inside the experiment.
00:05:05And I have to know whether it's the pressure in here or whether this is outside as well.
00:05:10It's about how you carry yourself.
00:05:11It's common knowledge.
00:05:12I would never do that.
00:05:13That's what I'm saying.
00:05:14From the stuff that's in the experiment.
00:05:16I don't want to see that outside the experiment.
00:05:18That's all it is.
00:05:19I'm not saying anything bad.
00:05:19It's just what I've seen.
00:05:20Yeah, just, you don't know me well enough then.
00:05:23Babe, I'm only helping.
00:05:24It's just not who I am.
00:05:25I just do not do that in life.
00:05:27Okay.
00:05:28I do nursing.
00:05:29Like, I'm a kind person.
00:05:31I would never.
00:05:32But anyway.
00:05:32I'm not saying you're like that.
00:05:33I'm trying to just say what I'm feeling.
00:05:38It was very hurtful last night.
00:05:40We've never had this conversation.
00:05:42He's never said, hey, I'm concerned of drama in the outside world.
00:05:44He's never.
00:05:45So, yeah, I just felt like it was just unnecessary last night.
00:05:50I was already copying it.
00:05:51And it was just another fuel to the fire moment from Scott.
00:05:55So, yeah, that is a blind side to me.
00:06:00How was last night for you?
00:06:04It was a tough session.
00:06:07You were telling me that you felt like I threw you under the bus, which I apologise to make you
00:06:11feel that way.
00:06:12It wasn't my intention.
00:06:14Well, yeah, you apologise for how I felt.
00:06:16You didn't apologise for what you did.
00:06:20I felt attacked and I feel really hurt by what happened last night.
00:06:27I do think he's empathetic, but I think there's a limit to his empathetic-ness, if that makes sense.
00:06:33I just want him to know that, like, I can't just get over this in five minutes,
00:06:37because I don't want to be put in a position like this again.
00:06:41Everyone is entitled to feel how they want to feel and work things out how they want to.
00:06:46I'm not saying that you are right now.
00:06:47I'm not controlling your feelings, Gia.
00:06:48I let you do yourself.
00:06:50I'm just saying right now.
00:06:50I'm just saying right now.
00:06:51It was brought up last night.
00:06:52I didn't feel like I heard and that you understood where I was coming from.
00:06:59So, throughout this whole experiment, do you feel like I haven't been listening to any tough problems?
00:07:02I'm just saying I would like it if you look at it at a different person's point of view and
00:07:07not your own.
00:07:09Yeah.
00:07:10If I'm going to say anything that I'm struggling in a relationship,
00:07:13it's because I want to fix it to make us better.
00:07:19I'm not here to try and make my partner look bad.
00:07:22I'm trying to help us.
00:07:25But she immediately gets into defensive mode.
00:07:28I'm at the point where I don't know what to do and I feel like I can't speak.
00:07:31Okay.
00:07:32I apologize.
00:07:34It's obviously been a lot.
00:07:36That's why at the start of the week...
00:07:37So, I didn't need a grilling last night from my husband on the couch either.
00:07:40Okay.
00:07:40Well, I apologize that you feel like that I gave you a grilling.
00:07:42I'm just trying to help you.
00:07:43Right.
00:07:44Because I care about our relationship.
00:07:46I genuinely care about us.
00:07:47That's why I'm still here.
00:07:53And I'm getting frustrated.
00:07:54I'm just...
00:07:55I don't know what to do anymore.
00:07:56What else am I supposed to do?
00:07:58This is why I can't fall in love right now, because there's constant pressure.
00:08:02There's constant arguments.
00:08:04Okay.
00:08:04Should we go pack, get the hell out of here?
00:08:08Yeah.
00:08:09Cool.
00:08:12They're going to argue and debate about something so bloody simple.
00:08:15What's it going to be like outside this when we face a little hurdle?
00:08:21Down the hall, Bec and Danny are busy packing the essentials.
00:08:27All packed.
00:08:28I went to Chemist Warehouse quickly and got some bits.
00:08:31It'll be so fresh.
00:08:32Yay.
00:08:34As a Melbourne-based Danny prepares to head to Bec's home in Adelaide for the first time.
00:08:39I'm also excited to, like, go for a big walk with you and so you can actually see, like, the
00:08:44surrounds of where I live.
00:08:46During last night's commitment ceremony, Danny made a reluctant revelation about the official status of their relationship.
00:08:55And he asked me to be his girlfriend.
00:08:59That's quite a move.
00:09:01What inspired you to ask Bec that question?
00:09:04But, like, it was important to Bec, you know, because, like, obviously...
00:09:08Why was it important to you?
00:09:12Well, because it gives Bec security.
00:09:16Why was it important to you to ask her that?
00:09:21Because I know it would be special to Bec.
00:09:23But why was it important to you?
00:09:31Well, because I wanted to be my girlfriend, like...
00:09:34You know?
00:09:37Obviously, as we know, like, I told him I love him and...
00:09:40He's not quite there yet, but...
00:09:42I just hope that when he sees me in my natural habitat, that he's, like...
00:09:47You know, everything I've told him about my life, he can see and envisage and, you know, maybe gets him
00:09:52that one step closer to loving me, too.
00:09:57You will see why I say it's the perfect place to raise kids.
00:10:01Because it's...
00:10:02It's pretty, it's safe, you've got a lot of space, you know.
00:10:07Um...
00:10:08Good schools, but everywhere's 20 minutes to get to, it's the best.
00:10:11It's good, yeah.
00:10:12It's really good.
00:10:13I'm excited to see it.
00:10:15I've known Bec inside the experiment, where, obviously, there's a different side to Bec, which is when she's at home.
00:10:22You don't know a gorilla until you see the gorilla in its natural habitat, is what they say.
00:10:27So, um, not comparing Bec to a gorilla.
00:10:30But, yeah, it would be nice to see her in a natural habitat.
00:10:34Should we shoot off?
00:10:35Let's go.
00:10:36Yay! How exciting!
00:10:40Shall we?
00:10:41Shall we?
00:10:42Oui, oui.
00:10:43We shall.
00:10:44While most of our couples are packed and ready to leave...
00:10:48Adelaide, here we come.
00:10:50Adelaide, here we come.
00:10:53One couple is yet to depart, having just woken up in separate apartments,
00:10:59after Chris wrote leave at last night's commitment ceremony, leaving Sam blindsided.
00:11:06I've been going back and forth the last couple of days, um, and I've actually decided that I need, and
00:11:13I want to go put my dad hat on, and I would like to leave.
00:11:20I just think that I need to concentrate on this next thing that's coming, and he's an amazing guy, and
00:11:27he'll be amazing for someone. I just don't think it's me for the moment.
00:11:35It sucks to see him write leave.
00:11:39And it's just really disappointing, because a week ago, we were in such a good spot.
00:11:44I can see a magical, amazing life with Chris.
00:11:47I would hate for our last interaction to be that couch session.
00:11:52One person says stay, one person says leave, you're meant to stay for another week and just see.
00:11:56And like, going out to Chris's farm, this is something Chris and I have been looking forward to through the
00:12:01whole experiment, so I'm trying to stay open and lean in.
00:12:08There's always a glimmer of hope.
00:12:12Next door, Chris has also spent the morning reflecting.
00:12:17Obviously, last night's couch session was brutal.
00:12:21I got defensive, but this is part of the experiment.
00:12:24They do hold a mirror up to you, and maybe there were some behavioural issues that I was doing that
00:12:29I wasn't aware of.
00:12:31I've realised that I not only came on this experiment to find love in a husband, but, um, you know,
00:12:35I do want to grow as a person,
00:12:37and I've realised that I, um, so I need to work on a few things on myself.
00:12:42So I'm going to move forward and give this another crack to see if Sam and I can turn it
00:12:47around at homestays,
00:12:49have some fun at the farm, and see where I'm going to be raising the children,
00:12:54and see if we can rekindle what we had in the beginning.
00:13:07Here we go. Central Coast homestays. Please go.
00:13:12Our couples are now en route to their respective homestays.
00:13:17We're going to Barney-Doo.
00:13:20And while most make a beeline for their destination...
00:13:25Hey, babe, can we stop at KFC to get some food for the road trip?
00:13:29Sounds like a plan to me. Let's pull in.
00:13:31Hi there, what can I get for you today?
00:13:33Two go buckets, please.
00:13:35Do you want a chip before we turn out?
00:13:37Yeah, why not? Get in here.
00:13:40The first to touch down are Gia and Scott,
00:13:43where Melbourne-based Gia already has plans in place to move to the Gold Coast immediately after the experiment.
00:13:51This is where we can play tennis at night or whenever you play tennis in your bikini.
00:13:57Get a tan while I'm playing.
00:14:00This morning was, yeah, really tense.
00:14:03But since we've been off the plane, I'm feeling really good.
00:14:05I'm really happy. I'm just happy to be home.
00:14:07We're in Scotty's place on the Gold Coast.
00:14:09That's where we are right now.
00:14:10And I am bloody excited to introduce my wife to my place, my couch, my bedroom, the whole lot.
00:14:18And you can't be angry around the Gold Coast. It's bloody sunny.
00:14:22It's hot. That's what we want.
00:14:24I'll just show you around.
00:14:28Welcome.
00:14:33Should I take my shoes off?
00:14:35Yes, please.
00:14:35Because I know you don't like shoes in the house.
00:14:38Good.
00:14:39Oh, it's a bit messy.
00:14:41Messy?
00:14:44Is there stuff over there?
00:14:46That's just my bike helmets.
00:14:48OK.
00:14:49I'd be lying if I didn't say I'm coming in here looking for a problem
00:14:53or looking for something to not be happy about.
00:14:55Like, that's just what women do.
00:14:56Why are you walking around like you're just sussing or something?
00:14:59I'm looking for problems.
00:15:01Why do you put rug on a rug?
00:15:02Put your feet on it.
00:15:03Yeah, like, yeah, nice.
00:15:05But it looks strange.
00:15:06It's like a pee pad or something, like, on a rug.
00:15:08It's like, why is it there?
00:15:10Ugh.
00:15:10And this is upstairs.
00:15:13So random.
00:15:15You can look at the water when you're in the spot.
00:15:17OK.
00:15:18Do you game?
00:15:19I work.
00:15:21It's so picky.
00:15:22What are they?
00:15:23It's more of an ornament.
00:15:25I don't know why that's there.
00:15:26I didn't know where I was going to put it.
00:15:28It'd be better if that wasn't there.
00:15:29Oh, my gosh.
00:15:30Weird.
00:15:31God.
00:15:32Yeah, you'd have to move that.
00:15:34My tree's dead.
00:15:35No, my uncle gave that to me before he died.
00:15:38Shit.
00:15:38He died and the plant.
00:15:40That's not nice.
00:15:42If the roles were reversed and I was at Gia's house, I wouldn't say anything but nice things.
00:15:46It's definitely not as clean as I thought.
00:15:48Um, my house is way cleaner.
00:15:51End of story.
00:15:53I could spend a couple of hours, like, just fixing a few things.
00:15:55That's all right, you can do that.
00:15:56Yeah.
00:15:57I would make Gia feel happy and comfortable knowing that I'm in her home and she's proud
00:16:02of what she's done and what she's made.
00:16:04I wouldn't go, oh, yuck.
00:16:06This is shit.
00:16:06That's shit.
00:16:07I'd be like, wow, you've done such a good job.
00:16:09Like, if the house is a mess, yes, I would say something.
00:16:11But I know she's like me.
00:16:12She's a clean person.
00:16:14But I wouldn't go nitpicking, no.
00:16:17This is the walking robe.
00:16:20You coming?
00:16:24What's that?
00:16:26It's a neck brace.
00:16:27Why is it pink?
00:16:29Why is it pink? Why not?
00:16:31Look at you trying to find a problem.
00:16:33Well, I'm just wondering why it's pink.
00:16:37Is it your exes or something?
00:16:39Oh, yeah, sure.
00:16:40Gab and Maria bought it.
00:16:42Yeah.
00:16:42If I had, where's mine then, if I had another one?
00:16:44No, I'm asking why it's pink.
00:16:46I don't know.
00:16:47That was weird.
00:16:48That was a bit of a red flag to me
00:16:49because he told me he's never had a girl at this house.
00:16:53So, why is that there?
00:16:56OK, so what we're going to do is we're going to call Gab and Maria
00:16:59and we're going to call them and I'm going to say,
00:17:01did you guys buy me this neck brace?
00:17:02And they're going to say yes.
00:17:04It just doesn't make sense.
00:17:06The math isn't mathing for me.
00:17:12What the hell?
00:17:17Are you OK?
00:17:19No, I'm not OK.
00:17:20Because I want to know more about that thing in here.
00:17:22Let's go have a look.
00:17:23So, a pillow.
00:17:26It's like I need to give reason for everything I have.
00:17:30I've not done anything to make Gia not trust me.
00:17:33I'm trying to find problems.
00:17:34You're trying to find a problem.
00:17:35So you look at a bloody neck brace for a plane.
00:17:38But it's pink.
00:17:39A normal thing to think.
00:17:40I don't think there's not one thing I could say
00:17:42that I've made her feel like she shouldn't trust me.
00:17:45I've been very honest and vulnerable
00:17:46this whole relationship and experiment.
00:17:49Imagine if you came to my house and you saw some dude stuff.
00:17:51I wouldn't judge you because I know you were single.
00:17:54Can I put up with this every day of the week?
00:17:56I'm trying to find a problem.
00:17:58You shouldn't need to find someone if you trust a person.
00:18:01So if you don't trust me, tell me.
00:18:09Further north, Rachel and Stephen are arriving
00:18:12at Stephen's parents' holiday home
00:18:14on the central coast of New South Wales,
00:18:17where Stephen plans to introduce Melbourne-based wife Rachel
00:18:21to the coastal lifestyle.
00:18:23Am I getting on first?
00:18:24You get on first.
00:18:25Okay.
00:18:26Hold my hand if you want.
00:18:28Thank you.
00:18:28As you get in.
00:18:29Is this little seat for me?
00:18:31Front seat's for you.
00:18:32Woo!
00:18:33Passenger princess!
00:18:35And Stephen has wasted no time taking Rachel out
00:18:38to enjoy his favourite pastime.
00:18:41Do I look cute?
00:18:43Yep.
00:18:44Do you shoot me my fives?
00:18:50Yeah.
00:18:52The last time I was on the boat was definitely well over a decade ago.
00:18:57Um, and I was extremely seasick.
00:19:01We are off.
00:19:04Where'd she get married?
00:19:06Oh my God.
00:19:07Lol.
00:19:09So the last time I was on the boat was when I got married.
00:19:13Ah!
00:19:15Alrighty.
00:19:16So, tell me Rachel, where's the fish at?
00:19:19Where's the captain?
00:19:19I don't know.
00:19:21You're the captain.
00:19:22You lead me.
00:19:24I'm very nervous about this.
00:19:26I'm very nervous about this.
00:19:27Yeah, I'm nervous.
00:19:28So much is falling on homestays because me and Rachel have discussed locations outside
00:19:33the experiment and I've bluntly put it too Rachel.
00:19:36Look, I probably can't compromise on anyone else at the moment besides Sydney.
00:19:41Oh man, this is all about seeing if Rachel can fit into my life.
00:19:47And if this doesn't work out for this small snippet, what's it going to look like, you know, in the
00:19:53real world?
00:19:54We're here.
00:19:55Alright, the secret flatty hole.
00:19:57And, you know, romance happens in all different sorts of ways.
00:20:01It doesn't have to be candle lights and drinks.
00:20:03You just sit there and be pretty for a sec.
00:20:06Alright, I've got your weapon right here.
00:20:08I may not express my feelings to her and go,
00:20:11Hey Rachel, I like you this much today or I like you this much.
00:20:15But, I sort of show it in gestures.
00:20:18There's your passenger princess.
00:20:20I'll even put the bait on for you so you don't have to get your hands all dirty.
00:20:24Taking her out in the boat and showing her my fishing spot things.
00:20:28That's how I show my love towards someone.
00:20:31And let me know when you get a nice little tug on it.
00:20:34Because I'll be very excited.
00:20:38Oh, I'm on!
00:20:41We're definitely floating and cheeky today.
00:20:46And, it's really nice to see Steven in his element as well.
00:20:50Alright, and this is fishing.
00:20:51You sit here, like this.
00:20:54What, no wine and snacks for the passenger princess?
00:20:57Fire, I am a bad husband, aren't I?
00:21:00I know, I'm glad you...
00:21:01But I'm responsible as well, no alcohol on the boat.
00:21:03I'm not driving.
00:21:07Hang on, what, wait, whoa.
00:21:09Is that a thing?
00:21:10No.
00:21:10You tell me?
00:21:11I don't know, babe.
00:21:14I can see Steven and I together.
00:21:16That's simple.
00:21:17That's easy.
00:21:17We do that every day.
00:21:18But can I see myself a part of his broader life?
00:21:22Oh, oh.
00:21:24You know, we've come so far since our wedding and our honeymoon and all of that.
00:21:29You know, so I'm really grateful to be here and also grateful to be here.
00:21:33You might need to do a rebate and would have baited you.
00:21:36This is such a special place for him and his family.
00:21:39So how lucky am I for him to have welcomed me into this?
00:21:43Oh, she's on.
00:21:45I got one!
00:21:46I got one!
00:21:47Oh, no, I did.
00:21:48I really did.
00:21:49I really got one.
00:21:51Oh, my God, Steven.
00:21:53Steven, I got a fit!
00:21:55Okay, I don't know what to do now.
00:21:56You're going to have to come and help me.
00:21:58Okay.
00:21:59Okay.
00:22:00Hi.
00:22:00Bring him in.
00:22:01Bring him in.
00:22:02Yep.
00:22:06I think, yes, me going out there and showing that I know how to handle a rod was absolutely
00:22:11an aphrodisiac for him.
00:22:14Here you go.
00:22:16Why would you put him in there to flick?
00:22:19I'm not going to hand him to you.
00:22:20Steven!
00:22:22Alright, hang on.
00:22:23I'm so scared.
00:22:23Because if he flicks, you can drop him back in the bucket.
00:22:25I'm so scared.
00:22:27Come here, babe.
00:22:28They are spiky.
00:22:30Yay!
00:22:31There you go.
00:22:35Giant!
00:22:38Bye, baby.
00:22:39Thank you.
00:22:43Yeah, it is impressive.
00:22:44It's not every day you meet a woman that's willing to do that.
00:22:48Appreciate it.
00:22:49Pulling in the fish and touching the prawns.
00:22:52I didn't have to babysit her.
00:22:56Yeah, it's sexy.
00:22:58Must admit, I kind of like holding a rod and getting kissed.
00:23:02Oh, hang on.
00:23:03Hang on.
00:23:12Having settled into Scott's home on the Gold Coast, Melbourne-based Gia has made another
00:23:18shocking discovery.
00:23:20I just don't even know, like, my stuff wouldn't even fit in that closet.
00:23:23You won't need to.
00:23:25What do you mean?
00:23:25Like, for now, until we find another place, do you know what I mean?
00:23:29For now, this will do for whatever until we sort our stuff out.
00:23:34But, like, for me to move in...
00:23:36100%.
00:23:37Like, just the closet and stuff, like, just be too stressful.
00:23:40For me, personally, I don't want to be, like, a princess or, like, annoying, but, like, his closet is big,
00:23:46but I'd have to share that closet with him, and it's like, just all my stuff would be crammed in
00:23:51one, like, shelf in one area.
00:23:52It's just like, that's not comfortable for me to live.
00:23:55Yeah, like, I just have a lot of stuff, like, I have two closets for myself and a whole beauty
00:24:00room with shelves of more stuff.
00:24:03We've already discussed it in time that we'll get a house, because we have your daughter and stuff, so...
00:24:08This wouldn't be big enough.
00:24:09Like, my, the other room for her, like, like, where would my mum stay if my mum visited?
00:24:14Because my mum lives in Melbourne.
00:24:16So, yeah, like, it just, like, wouldn't logistically work.
00:24:19I'm saying temporarily.
00:24:21Apparently there's no positives.
00:24:23And this is the problem.
00:24:25It's my house.
00:24:25I'm proud of it.
00:24:26I've done everything here.
00:24:27I've built everything myself.
00:24:28Yeah.
00:24:28For a guy before I met you by himself...
00:24:30No, this is great for a guy for himself.
00:24:32100%.
00:24:32Like, it's great.
00:24:33But I don't want to cram all my shit in one little section of your closet.
00:24:36Like, that's...
00:24:37Like, I can't do that.
00:24:39Raises a few questions, like, is she like that with anything that's around me or that I introduce her to?
00:24:44It's just probably not big enough for what I'm used to.
00:24:48But for you it's good.
00:24:50Hmm.
00:24:51It is a bit scary thinking that, like, what is life going to be like outside the experiment?
00:24:56Great.
00:24:57Already feel better.
00:24:58These are little things that I can see may be a bit of an impact on us.
00:25:05Cute.
00:25:06So cute.
00:25:12South of Sydney, Stella and Philip are meeting with Stella's chosen family, Joe and Layla.
00:25:19Hi!
00:25:22Hey!
00:25:22How are you?
00:25:23Hi!
00:25:25Hello!
00:25:26It's really nice to see you.
00:25:27You're good?
00:25:28You're good?
00:25:29You're well?
00:25:30Thanks for having us.
00:25:31Woo!
00:25:32We're really excited to see how Stella's going with Philip.
00:25:35We've given him their space, their time.
00:25:38I'm hoping that he is the right guy.
00:25:42What is happening?
00:25:43I love you!
00:25:46My vibes on the wedding day weren't really positive.
00:25:52At Stella and Philip's wedding, Joe had his doubts about Stella's new groom.
00:25:56Who in their vows talks about their YouTube channel and this and that? Impressive and private.
00:26:06And your vows is really your, what's your vow to your partner?
00:26:09Your vow is this, is this. That's like a red flag.
00:26:14And after expressing these concerns to Stella and bridesmaid Layla.
00:26:19However, and I'm going to be completely transparent, I'm getting a red flag.
00:26:25Absolutely.
00:26:27I'm telling you now, I don't think he has entered on the right foot.
00:26:34I agree.
00:26:36Layla confronted Philip.
00:26:38Stella didn't come here and talk to you about her business.
00:26:40It just adds to my story as how I changed my life.
00:26:43I don't care.
00:26:44I don't care.
00:26:46I'm telling you right.
00:26:47I'm going to stop you just for a second.
00:26:48You're irritated.
00:26:49Okay.
00:26:49It's okay.
00:26:50I'm just listening to what you're saying.
00:26:52No, no, no.
00:26:53It's okay.
00:26:53Breathe.
00:26:54No, I'm relaxed.
00:26:55I'm breathing.
00:26:56No, you're getting really worked up.
00:26:57I can feel it.
00:26:58I can feel it.
00:26:58I can feel it.
00:26:59You don't have to tell me.
00:27:00I feel your energy.
00:27:01You are agitated.
00:27:05Generously.
00:27:06All right.
00:27:06Let's go.
00:27:07Let's go.
00:27:07Let's go.
00:27:07That's just being the protective friend.
00:27:10Yeah.
00:27:11I hope they enjoy the food.
00:27:13Thank you.
00:27:13Are you taking it?
00:27:15No, no.
00:27:15You pretty much did it.
00:27:17And it's going to be a good way of catching him in his sort of off guard, you know?
00:27:23I haven't really been in touch with Salat.
00:27:25Thank you.
00:27:26I've been trying to keep up with everything.
00:27:27Coming in here, yeah, I'm excited, nervously excited.
00:27:32Yeah.
00:27:33And I'm definitely not going to be disrespectful.
00:27:35I'm going to listen and absorb.
00:27:38Because, you know, you don't mess with someone who's making your food, you know?
00:27:41No dietries, right?
00:27:42Yeah.
00:27:43Or the person that does your tax, you know?
00:27:47So, yeah.
00:27:48Oh, yeah.
00:27:48How's it going?
00:27:49Look, I haven't seen you since the wedding day.
00:27:51Wedding, yeah.
00:27:52How are the living arrangements going?
00:27:54How are you...
00:27:55Are you...
00:27:56Is there a connection there?
00:27:58Like, with the whole...
00:27:59Yeah, of course.
00:28:00But that's it.
00:28:01There is, of course.
00:28:02Amazing.
00:28:02It was from, like, the get-go.
00:28:05Get-go?
00:28:05Yeah.
00:28:05That's right.
00:28:06Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:28:07Because I'm not going to lie to you.
00:28:08I did have...
00:28:10I wanted to ask about the wedding.
00:28:12This is what I wanted to ask about the wedding, but you asked another question.
00:28:15Okay, okay.
00:28:15Let's talk about the wedding.
00:28:16Let's go.
00:28:19My concern for her is she's given up so much.
00:28:25She's come out to Australia.
00:28:26You're not selling me here, guys.
00:28:28But I am selling you here.
00:28:30She's...
00:28:31She's given up a lot of her life, you know?
00:28:34She's given up her family, her friends, and everything.
00:28:38And my only concern is I know what she's looking for.
00:28:43She's looking for longevity.
00:28:47And I'm here to protect her.
00:28:51Phil got a grill by Joe.
00:28:54He put his really, like, protective, you know, father figure hat on.
00:28:59I don't want to be putting pressure on Philip to move to Sydney.
00:29:02I want him to make this decision on his own, in his own mind.
00:29:06And that's where, you know, I'm reserving myself from asking hard questions.
00:29:13So hard questions that came from Joe's mouth, it's almost like he's asking what I'm feeling.
00:29:21Yeah.
00:29:22So he was doing, you know, I guess, the screening for me.
00:29:28Oh, yes.
00:29:33Thank you.
00:29:37So, what is the plan?
00:29:39Are you moving to Melbourne?
00:29:41Are you moving to Sydney?
00:29:41From the get-go, he said that he wouldn't be moving.
00:29:46I've always been open to moving,
00:29:49providing I met the right person.
00:29:53I think, I don't know.
00:29:54Sorry, do you think you've met the right person?
00:29:58Well, this is the thing.
00:30:00Like feelings, it's on the way, yes.
00:30:04I need more information.
00:30:06Sorry to interrupt you.
00:30:06I'm getting some not-so-confident vibes from over here.
00:30:12I am not convinced, Stella,
00:30:16that you have complete confidence.
00:30:18I don't at the end of the day.
00:30:23And unfortunately, at this given stage,
00:30:25we do have the wishy-washy situation.
00:30:28And I don't want to ask and impose myself too much.
00:30:32I don't want to put more pressure on him
00:30:35because, you know, he did mention a couple of times,
00:30:38you know, it's also a lot of pressure on him.
00:30:40And, like, I don't want to pressure him
00:30:43into giving me any answers.
00:30:45Well, okay.
00:30:46Love is not enough.
00:30:48Like, I don't think, like, Leila does.
00:30:52They're a beautiful couple.
00:30:53Like, he's a good-looking guy.
00:30:55She's an incredibly good-looking woman.
00:30:57And I know Stella.
00:31:00She's a great rock.
00:31:02I know that she's quite serious about it.
00:31:05I think he is as well.
00:31:09But I think their foundation is unstable at the moment.
00:31:15So, out of 100.
00:31:16Yep.
00:31:17Joe, Joe, Joe!
00:31:20We're getting into, like...
00:31:21No, no, no, no.
00:31:22Well, they both came into this experiment for a reason.
00:31:26Yeah, we did.
00:31:27Yeah.
00:31:28Stella, where do you see yourself out of 100?
00:31:31Um, if he would be here in Sydney.
00:31:33No, no.
00:31:34You need to give me a number.
00:31:35Just a number.
00:31:38It would be 100.
00:31:40Wow.
00:31:40If I know...
00:31:41Wow.
00:31:42Well, let me...
00:31:43Let me bow to you.
00:31:44That is incredible.
00:31:46That is a huge call.
00:31:47I do see growth with him.
00:31:48I do see stability with him.
00:31:50He gives me reassurance, emotional safety.
00:31:53I do see him as a father of the children.
00:31:56Well, you've just reassured me and reassured us.
00:31:59Yeah.
00:32:00You know?
00:32:01So, Philip, where do you see yourself out of 100?
00:32:05Right now, that's the call.
00:32:07And be completely honest, I will not judge you.
00:32:10In this current...
00:32:11In this current form, like, right now, where we're at,
00:32:15so, like, out of 100, like, I'm...
00:32:20Honestly, 75 out of 100.
00:32:32In Queensland, Melbourne-based Gia is settling into the Gold Coast lifestyle.
00:32:41Do you want to help me with the bed?
00:32:47I'm here temporarily till we find a bigger place.
00:32:50It's like, I just don't know where all my stuff would go.
00:32:52I have a four-bedroom worth of house, like, stuff.
00:32:55Like, I have so much stuff.
00:32:57Like, what am I going to do with it?
00:32:59Can you grab that?
00:33:02No, take them off completely.
00:33:06I don't want to live out of a suitcase.
00:33:08Like, I'd rather just go from my house to another house of that size or bigger.
00:33:13Like, that's just what I'm used to.
00:33:16My bed has, like, two sets of these, another big euro,
00:33:21and, like, three other ones across here.
00:33:23I have, like, a big, thick, like, furry mink that I fold and have on a certain way.
00:33:27I have, like, heated blanket underneath because I'm always cold.
00:33:31Jeez Louise.
00:33:32Yeah, I have so many things.
00:33:33I have, like, three mattress toppers because I want it, like, cloud.
00:33:35It's not going to be full of pink, though, is it?
00:33:37It's all white.
00:33:38Okay, that's all right.
00:33:39It's all white and cream.
00:33:40No, I don't, like, my beauty room is, like, pink and purple.
00:33:44Everything else in my house is white and beige.
00:33:47Everything is white and beige.
00:33:47So we're not allowed any of my sheets.
00:33:49Yeah, for the spare room, yeah.
00:33:50For the guest room.
00:33:52See, I'm the type of guy where, like, I look at why someone's upset.
00:33:56Is this something that's going to be carrying on every single day?
00:33:59Gia's not a go-with-the-flow kind of girl, no.
00:34:02But everyone has their opinion.
00:34:03Gia's very picky.
00:34:04We all know that.
00:34:05That's all right.
00:34:10Yeah, I couldn't live here.
00:34:14South of Sydney, Stella and Philip are facing some harsh truths in front of Joe and Layla.
00:34:22So, Philip, where do you see yourself out of 100 right now as a couple?
00:34:28And be completely honest, and I will not judge you.
00:34:31In this current form, like, right now where we're at, so, like, out of 100, like, honestly, 75 out of
00:34:42100.
00:34:46What was said by me on the couch when experts asked, oh, but he's giving you reassurance, he's telling you,
00:34:52he's telling you that he's going to move to Sydney.
00:34:54I'm like, it is telling.
00:34:56It's words, it's not actions, right?
00:34:59What he said today, like, you know, I'm 75% sure.
00:35:02And, like, he's not yet there.
00:35:05Yeah, it's just, you're putting yourself on the line again and again and again.
00:35:14I'll tell you what, and I'll tell you what.
00:35:16Like, I've always had this over my head coming into this relationship going, if I don't move to Sydney, this
00:35:21is not going to work.
00:35:22If I don't move to Sydney, this is not going to work.
00:35:24You know what I mean?
00:35:24That's pressure.
00:35:26I need to know where I fit in her lifestyle.
00:35:31Just saying, I need to know where I fit in that, because if I'm moving and I'm moving my whole
00:35:34social, I leave everyone behind.
00:35:36She is the priority.
00:35:38I need to see that back as well, which I am.
00:35:40Like, I'm just saying, I need to see more of that.
00:35:43It's not, we don't do it on promises.
00:35:44We just need the time aspect to happen.
00:35:48I don't want to say something that I don't feel, which would be disingenuous to Stella.
00:35:53If I was 100 out of 100, I'd be literally moving in all my stuff already, you know?
00:35:58That's where I think we're at.
00:36:00A lot of things, you were saying before, that Stella's given up heaps to be here.
00:36:04Yeah.
00:36:04I would argue that I've given up a lot.
00:36:07And I'm willing to give up more to make this happen.
00:36:11Moving forward, like, post-experiment, I just need to be sure.
00:36:16Do you know what I'm saying?
00:36:19Like, I need you to, like, as much as I'm showing up for you, I need you to show up
00:36:22for me.
00:36:23You've got to give me the reassurance as much as I am.
00:36:25Like, I'm happy to be a rock.
00:36:26Like, I've been doing a patient and stuff like that.
00:36:27But I need you to kind of meet me there as well.
00:36:33So, I don't have a 100% guarantee.
00:36:35I wish I had a guarantee.
00:36:38But I just wanted to be truthful and just no BS.
00:36:43Look, he's very convincing.
00:36:45Um, has he told me what I want to hear?
00:36:48Yes, he has.
00:36:50Is that enough for Stella?
00:36:52I'm hoping I'm wrong.
00:36:54And I'm hoping the experiment has got everything right.
00:36:59Hey, I hope I'm wrong.
00:37:03I appreciate you showing up for me.
00:37:05Because...
00:37:05Yeah.
00:37:06We're glad to be here.
00:37:10Still to come...
00:37:12Rachel and Stephen's homestay continues to progress.
00:37:16I mentioned the affection last time we met.
00:37:18Yes.
00:37:19Has it improved?
00:37:19Like...
00:37:20Has improved a lot.
00:37:21Where our focus is sort of heading towards now is outside the experiment.
00:37:25You've come a long way.
00:37:27And will Scott be able to voice his concerns with Gia?
00:37:31Oh, like...
00:37:32Yeah, just...
00:37:34Like...
00:37:35Okay.
00:37:36Something I do trust 100%.
00:37:48What's it like living with Stephen?
00:37:52In New South Wales on the Central Coast, Stephen's parents, brother and sister-in-law Bianca,
00:37:59are getting up to speed on their relationship.
00:38:01So, Rach?
00:38:03Yes?
00:38:04Please enlighten us.
00:38:07We've come into a good, like, I don't know, what would you call rhythm?
00:38:10You know, I know that Stephen has quirks, and I've just shown them patience and learned
00:38:15to live with them.
00:38:18The last time Rachel met with Stephen's family...
00:38:21Yes, we got us.
00:38:22..brother Dylan highlighted Stephen's struggles with intimate affection and connection.
00:38:28Do you think Stephen is affectionate enough?
00:38:31No.
00:38:40Obviously, I mentioned the affection last time we met.
00:38:43Yes.
00:38:43Has that improved?
00:38:44It has improved a lot.
00:38:46I'm a very affectionate person, but now I've noticed his hand will come wandering for
00:38:52mine.
00:38:53Yeah.
00:38:54You know, he'll come to me for a hug and all these little things.
00:38:57It's nice.
00:38:58As far as the experiment goes, yeah, we've had our highs and lows, and our highs are a
00:39:03lot higher than our lows, so it's going in the right direction.
00:39:07I think you've come a long way since family stay, or whatever it's called.
00:39:12Yeah, look at this.
00:39:12Rachel's the same.
00:39:13Oh, my gosh.
00:39:14That's right.
00:39:16It feels really natural welcoming Rachel and Stephen.
00:39:22As a mum, seeing Stephen in our relationship, I feel fantastic, because that's what I've always
00:39:29wanted for him.
00:39:31We're great inside the experiment.
00:39:33Sort of where our focus is sort of heading towards now is outside the experiment.
00:39:38Okay.
00:39:39Different states.
00:39:40Yeah.
00:39:41What are we thinking?
00:39:42Do you want me to tell the plan?
00:39:43I've got the plan.
00:39:43We're thinking Sydney.
00:39:44You've got the plan.
00:39:44I've got the plan.
00:39:45Do you want me to tell the plan?
00:39:46I know the plan.
00:39:47Let Steve tell me the plan.
00:39:48Go on, Steve, because I want to hear your plan.
00:39:53So, to start with, we're sort of going to just do long distance.
00:39:57We're going to give it a time limit of roughly around six months, and see where we go from
00:40:02there.
00:40:02Yeah, so, I need six more months with the love of my life, which is Melbourne.
00:40:07You know, I built that life for myself.
00:40:09I made all my friends, built my career, everything in Melbourne.
00:40:13Yeah, I get that.
00:40:15I know that it's going to come from me because Stephen's business isn't as flexible.
00:40:19Yeah.
00:40:21And at the end of the day, like, I want this to work, and I want our relationship to,
00:40:25like, grow and go forward.
00:40:26So, that's fine.
00:40:28That's all good.
00:40:30At the moment, it looks like Rach pushes the relationship along.
00:40:35I don't want Stephen to feel like, well, I've got to sacrifice everything that I've worked
00:40:39for, everything that I've built.
00:40:41I felt like Stephen never really said, oh, I'm going to sacrifice anything.
00:40:47How does that make you feel, Steve?
00:40:49She's basically saying she's going to move her whole life.
00:40:56Makes me feel lucky, and, you know, very happy about it, you know, and, um, this feels
00:41:03amazing.
00:41:03But also, at the same time, it actually sort of makes me feel a little bit bad that I'm
00:41:08having compromised that much as well.
00:41:11I feel like the butthole in the relationship, I'm like, yeah, I'm just going to chill here
00:41:14in Sydney, and Rachel's going to come to me.
00:41:17Yeah, it's a massive, it's a massive thing.
00:41:20You don't put too much pressure on each other.
00:41:23Six months transition time.
00:41:24Stephen might realise, oh, maybe I'll give Melbourne a go.
00:41:28I've never said never either.
00:41:29He's never said never.
00:41:30I've never said never.
00:41:31He's never said never.
00:41:32Yeah, I get that.
00:41:33No, but look, I'm really happy for you guys.
00:41:35So, to be honest, like, cheers, cheers and all this.
00:41:38Thank you all so much.
00:41:39Cheers.
00:41:40Cheers.
00:41:41Cheers.
00:41:41This family dinner with Rachel and Stephen was great.
00:41:44We just got to learn a lot, which for us as a family was very reassuring that things
00:41:48are heading in the right direction.
00:41:50They complement each other.
00:41:51They bring different things to the table, and I definitely think Rachel's had a positive
00:41:56effect on Stephen's life.
00:42:09Excited?
00:42:10Jerry.
00:42:10On the Gold Coast, Gia and Scott are spending the day on the water.
00:42:16Nice boat, eh?
00:42:17Yeah, it's nice.
00:42:18Nice boat.
00:42:20Joining them today are Scott's best friends Matt, Paige, Jackson and Bianca.
00:42:27I'm feeling nervous.
00:42:29Last time with Matt and Paige was family friends at the apartment.
00:42:33Matt put his foot in his mouth and was saying some things.
00:42:36It was just a bit, you know, disrespectful, inappropriate.
00:42:40Is Gia a better version of your ex?
00:42:44Don't compare me to his ex-girlfriend.
00:42:47If you want to be controversial, I'll give it back because that's what I'm like.
00:42:51I don't think you can compare because I would never start an OnlyFans.
00:42:56Good to see you, bro.
00:42:57Good to see you, bro.
00:42:58Paige.
00:42:59I mean, the last commitment ceremony, Alessandra did say, how do you think it's going to go,
00:43:04Gia, with your friends in real life?
00:43:06Do you think she's going to maybe have drama?
00:43:08Because obviously I have in the experiment.
00:43:10Hi.
00:43:11Hi.
00:43:12So, yeah, I mean, I'm probably going to prove myself today.
00:43:15Cheers to the good life and Gia and Scottie.
00:43:18Cheers!
00:43:19I hope everyone's on their best behavior today.
00:43:23I reckon we'll hit the water, go for a cruise.
00:43:25Done.
00:43:26Cool.
00:43:41It's going to ask me questions, aren't you?
00:43:43But that's the name of the game, yeah?
00:43:45That's the whole name of the game, isn't it?
00:43:46Got to get to the bottom of everything, mate.
00:43:50I'm not quite sure if they're the right fit.
00:43:53I want to see where they're at, but for the past week, Scottie went a bit quiet on me,
00:43:58so I know something's up.
00:44:00Yeah.
00:44:00Mm.
00:44:02Have you, uh, anyone dropped the L word yet?
00:44:06Not yet.
00:44:07Yeah.
00:44:08I've had arguments over it, to be honest.
00:44:09Oh, like, you love me first.
00:44:11No, it's like, it's waiting for me to say it.
00:44:15But I don't want to feel like I need to say it just to make Gia feel comfortable, you know?
00:44:21And you want it to be real, you don't want it to be forced.
00:44:23Yeah, it's...
00:44:25So what's the next step, blog, you know?
00:44:29Oh, 100% moving, yeah.
00:44:31Like, so I'm going to come with him to the Gold Coast, like, bring all our stuff as soon
00:44:35as we leave, look for a place, and then move.
00:44:39Yeah, we started looking at, um, like, bigger places, because obviously, like, I need more
00:44:44room.
00:44:44A bigger home.
00:44:45In other words, she's saying Scott's place is, you know...
00:44:47You need...
00:44:48It's good for one man.
00:44:50It's just great for a bachelor.
00:44:53Like, as soon as the experiment ends, she's going to move to Queensland.
00:44:57You shouldn't just rush things too quickly.
00:45:00They haven't even told each other that they love each other yet.
00:45:03I feel like they should be knocking that off before they make, you know, the big move in
00:45:09together.
00:45:10But it's just more for us now, the timing.
00:45:12Yeah.
00:45:13I want to go back a few times and then look at places and decide, like, what date we
00:45:18move, but she wants to do it before the end of the year.
00:45:21It felt like a lot of pressure.
00:45:24No, she'll go somewhere like...
00:45:25We planned, like, because her daughter needs to be enrolled to a school.
00:45:28Yeah.
00:45:28Well, she's going on school holidays.
00:45:30Yeah.
00:45:31We'll have the time to, like, move and get a new school organised and all that.
00:45:34Yeah.
00:45:35Yeah.
00:45:36I felt the pressure and I'm not even in the relationship.
00:45:39I said, like, I wanted to have, like, one or two more kids, um, like, have a big house,
00:45:45have this certain car, like...
00:45:47He might be happy discussing it all, but I think behind the scenes,
00:45:50and when we're questioning one-on-one about this, this is when we really will be getting
00:45:54the true colours.
00:45:55Yeah.
00:45:56Yeah.
00:45:56So.
00:46:00Next.
00:46:01I feel like I see you being pressured.
00:46:05I wasn't seeing 100% real out there.
00:46:16Well, how much longer does it go for?
00:46:18Three weeks, I think.
00:46:19On the Gold Coast, Gia is getting to know Scott's childhood friend Jackson and partner
00:46:25Bianca.
00:46:26After that, we, like, separate and we deliberate our decision if we're going to, like, stay
00:46:30together outside.
00:46:31Downstairs, Scott is debriefing with Matt and Paige.
00:46:36All right, Scotty.
00:46:37So, being your friend, knowing you so well, I feel like I see you being pressured.
00:46:44I feel like I wasn't seeing 100% real out there.
00:46:49Well, this is the thing.
00:46:51When we have our really good moments, that makes me feel like I'm falling in love with
00:46:56her.
00:46:56But then, when we have tough situations or arguments, that pulls me back.
00:47:04There was nothing in my house, but there was a pink neck pillow.
00:47:08Yeah.
00:47:08Travel pillow.
00:47:09Yeah.
00:47:10What's that?
00:47:10Who's that from?
00:47:12Pretty much saying, like, who's this from?
00:47:14Like, there's another girl that's given it to me.
00:47:16Has any other girl worn it around their neck?
00:47:18No.
00:47:22Little things like that makes me feel like she doesn't trust me.
00:47:25It's all these little hurdles.
00:47:26Like, it's just a pillow at the end of the day.
00:47:28And if that's a little small subject that could affect someone, what else out there could
00:47:32trigger her?
00:47:33So, right now, I feel so much for her because we're so good and strong.
00:47:37But then, as soon as we hit a bump like that, it retracts me.
00:47:41I can't.
00:47:42I just...
00:47:42This is what's so bad about me.
00:47:44Things happen probably once a week, and I'm like, I forget about it.
00:47:48Some of the behaviour throughout this experiment, the drama, the fighting, I don't like that
00:47:51stuff.
00:47:52Yeah.
00:47:53Did she get a little bit into it?
00:47:56Oh, 100%.
00:47:58Don't gaslight me.
00:47:59Watch your mouth, girl.
00:48:00I'm not watching...
00:48:00Watch your mouth.
00:48:01I'm being honest.
00:48:01Watch your...
00:48:02Don't lie about me.
00:48:02Be accountable.
00:48:05Absolutely not.
00:48:06You're not going to gaslight a woman right now.
00:48:08You know what you said.
00:48:09Why the hell would I...
00:48:10Gia.
00:48:11Gia.
00:48:11Stop.
00:48:11I'm talking.
00:48:14Because you're a mean girl, and all you do is go around and talk to you about every
00:48:18picture.
00:48:23I showed screenshots to a girlfriend and sue me, like...
00:48:30So Alessandra said something along the lines of, you know, Scott, do you think this is something
00:48:34you could put up with outside the experiment?
00:48:35And I said, no, I wouldn't tolerate it, which is true, because she has been in a lot of drama.
00:48:41Can I put up with this outside the experiment?
00:48:43Yeah.
00:48:43Is she like this outside the experiment?
00:48:45I don't know.
00:48:48Where I'm like, like, is this normal?
00:48:50Yeah.
00:48:51I don't...
00:48:51I get so confused.
00:48:54Because I have so much hope, because I see so much good in her.
00:48:57I want Scotty to, like, really think about, is this going to actually work for him?
00:49:06Scotty doesn't get involved in that kind of drama.
00:49:08He doesn't...
00:49:09You know, his life is just so...
00:49:10He's a crazy guy.
00:49:13You know, I feel like you're in two minds.
00:49:14When it's good, you're very happy.
00:49:16But then when it's bad, like, that is something that you would run away from in the real world.
00:49:22That's my concern.
00:49:23That's why I don't understand why you need to rush when you get out, because...
00:49:27I don't want to rush.
00:49:29Yeah.
00:49:31She wants to move within the month.
00:49:33And I don't want to do that, but I'm trying to make her feel secure, like...
00:49:36Because if I say to her I want longer, she thinks I'm leading her on, but I'm not.
00:49:39Now, what I heard out there is that she thinks that she's moving up.
00:49:42Four-bedroom house, school, key, boom.
00:49:45You need to be more honest with yourself.
00:49:47I can see it out there.
00:49:48I see you being pressured.
00:49:50If this is everything right now, do I think they would work outside the experiment?
00:49:55No, because I know Scotty so well to know that he would go running for the hills.
00:50:03Gia's giving excuses that the experiment is what's setting her off all the time.
00:50:08And once we're in our four-bedroom house and everything's all running perfect, it's all
00:50:13going to be a happy ending, but I still think there'll be external triggers that they'll
00:50:18have to navigate.
00:50:19Like, so you're scared to say, hey, I don't want to move so quickly?
00:50:22Like, are you scared about her reaction?
00:50:24Pretty much.
00:50:27And that's when I feel like I want eggshells.
00:50:30Like, you need to be able to voice your concerns.
00:50:32How is a relationship going to work on the outside if you're in an experiment right now
00:50:36and you can't even voice how you feel?
00:50:38You know, I have these doubts and concerns, and right now I can't be 100% certain.
00:50:43There's a lot of things I want to talk about with her privately.
00:50:47I just wanted to be able to talk about anything, not feel uncomfortable, and not Gia feel like
00:50:54it's going to be an argument.
00:50:56It's just a lot for me to process.
00:50:59Like, moving forward, what do you guys think I should personally do?
00:51:04Paige?
00:51:05I just, you're up there telling me that you guys are great, but then down here you're
00:51:08saying, well, actually, like, you know, once a week I'm having issues.
00:51:12I'm going to be honest.
00:51:14Don't worry about working on eggshells.
00:51:17There's so many things I need to address.
00:51:20Just overlook our relationship in general and our behaviours, how we interact, how we communicate.
00:51:26There's so many things we need to get through before I can make a final decision, because
00:51:30I'm not 100% there yet.
00:51:32I feel like you do have feelings, and there are good times, and you do feel like you're
00:51:38falling, but then there's the other side, and I, I don't know, I just feel like, yeah,
00:51:43you're turning a blind eye to everything else right now.
00:51:54As the sun sets on another day of homestays...
00:51:57I'm happier than ever.
00:51:58How does it feel having a girl in your house?
00:52:00It feels quite juicy.
00:52:02Juicy!
00:52:03Our couples are settling in for the night.
00:52:16And on the central coast of New South Wales, Rachel and Stephen tuck into bed.
00:52:21You've got a sleepy face.
00:52:23Sleepy face?
00:52:23You've got a sleepy face.
00:52:25But not before saying goodnight...
00:52:27Let's call it a night, shall we?
00:52:29Yeah, let's get some sleep.
00:52:30We're out.
00:52:31To mum.
00:52:33I'm going to bed.
00:52:34I hope you enjoyed dinner.
00:52:36So have a good night, and we'll see you tomorrow morning.
00:52:38Thanks, Anne.
00:52:38Have a good night.
00:52:39Good night.
00:52:40Good night.
00:52:42All right, good night.
00:52:43Thanks, sir.
00:52:45All right.
00:52:47All righty.
00:52:49Not as big as our bed in there.
00:52:51I know, this is a lot smaller than what we're used to, mate.
00:52:55Close quarters around here.
00:52:57What's that touching me?
00:53:06With homestays drawing to a close...
00:53:09It's been a whirlwind of emotions.
00:53:13Stella and Philip are heading to lunch, after some difficult conversations yesterday, where
00:53:18Philip expressed his 75% assurance in the relationship.
00:53:31And, like, for me, I really need to stop my brain going into the overdrive.
00:53:35I really do.
00:53:36But it doesn't feel resolved.
00:53:39If that makes sense.
00:53:40Like, yeah.
00:53:43Yeah.
00:53:48Joe asked, obviously, you know, a very hard question.
00:53:53You know, where out of 100, how certain you feel?
00:53:57And, you know, I said, yes, I do see the future.
00:54:00I'm very thankful for Joe that he asked that question, because I would have never dared to
00:54:04ask it directly like that.
00:54:08So, these are the, you know, the difficult parts.
00:54:11Not having...
00:54:15Certainty.
00:54:16Certainty.
00:54:17Yeah.
00:54:19It's not a rejection.
00:54:21No, of course.
00:54:22Yeah, it definitely wasn't a rejection.
00:54:24I'm feeling it, as much as you are.
00:54:27There's a few moving parts.
00:54:28That's all it is.
00:54:31The big ticket items are good.
00:54:34Like, we love each other.
00:54:36Like, we've got good respect.
00:54:37Like, there's good potential for a future, you know?
00:54:41So, 100% committed, right?
00:54:4475% sure how it's all going to work the nuts and bolts.
00:54:48Stella's definitely the right person for me.
00:54:50I just hate it when I don't have anything sorted, how it's going to work, and all that
00:54:55kind of stuff that's yet to be sorted.
00:54:57Like, I've got everything that I want in an apartment.
00:55:01I'm just a realist here, and I just think through logistics and stuff like that.
00:55:08There's obviously living arrangements, how we're going to go moving forward, how I'm
00:55:13going to be working here, what I'll do for work in the meantime, all that kind of stuff.
00:55:17That's kind of, that was my all-round out of 100.
00:55:20You've always told me, like, don't come here to Sydney for me.
00:55:24And I'm just like, well, deal with it.
00:55:29I'm open to moving now.
00:55:33Yeah, so I can't see myself here.
00:55:35She told me that she's already 100 out of 100, like, in this, like, ready to go.
00:55:39So, like, she's ready to go.
00:55:41So now it's just kind of, I need to sort my shit out.
00:55:43You as a person, yeah, that's, like, pretty much flawless.
00:55:51Oh, I almost cried.
00:55:53I got what I needed, and I got my reassurances.
00:55:57Just let me lead sometimes.
00:55:59Just let me lead, you know?
00:56:01Like, I needed for him to put the plans in motion, what he's going to do after the experiment.
00:56:08This is, this is it, like.
00:56:10He's shown up for me over and over again.
00:56:15And it's a successful end of the homestays.
00:56:20Yeah, I can cry now.
00:56:24We are coming out stronger than we came in.
00:56:29Coming up...
00:56:30Well, do you even trust me?
00:56:32Scott finds his voice.
00:56:35Okay, so, but do you put yourself in my shoes?
00:56:39I feel like sometimes I'm walking on eggshells.
00:56:41I feel like you might get defensive and then, like, I'm...
00:56:44No, no, what I'm saying is, like...
00:56:45I didn't know you wanted to argue today.
00:56:55On the central coast of New South Wales, for Stephen, Homestays has helped him envision
00:57:02a future with Rachel outside the experiment.
00:57:05This is so nice.
00:57:07And has decided to take her on a special date to share exactly how he feels.
00:57:13Yeah, that's good stuff.
00:57:15So good.
00:57:15So I thought I would bring out Rachel to the local venue and would have a little bit of
00:57:22a lunch, a bit of a drink, and maybe verbalise my emotions towards Rachel a little bit more.
00:57:28Cheers.
00:57:32It's pretty hard to speak about my feelings.
00:57:34It's hard for me to be vulnerable.
00:57:36It stresses me out.
00:57:37I do adore Rachel.
00:57:40I do want her to know that.
00:57:42Can you believe it?
00:57:43Last day of Homestays.
00:57:45It goes quick, eh?
00:57:47It really does.
00:57:48It really does.
00:57:49It's even crazier that, you know, it only felt like yesterday that we were getting married.
00:57:53On that boat, I literally felt like the floor was moving and turned around and I met you
00:57:59for the first time.
00:58:01Under the word I like you, I've got so many reasons why I like Rachel.
00:58:05So today is a day to express those feelings to her.
00:58:10I may not spell it out for you verbally, but just seeing you yesterday on the boat, having
00:58:18to go, casting the rod, for me what I see is a wife outside the experiment.
00:58:26Thank you, and I'm really happy how Homestays went.
00:58:29You too.
00:58:30And speaking about feelings, I like where this relationship is going and I like you.
00:58:37And if a kid's going in the right direction, I can see myself falling in love with you one
00:58:42day.
00:58:44Um, me being vulnerable here, about to...
00:58:48You're making me cry.
00:58:50So...
00:58:53I'm feeling so good.
00:58:57What better than to have a man tell you that he likes you a couple of times?
00:59:02He's reassuring you about where his feelings are.
00:59:05It was beautiful.
00:59:07The way that we interact, the way that we are together, now versus the start line, so
00:59:14different.
00:59:17But I really appreciate you verbalising and reassuring me that, you know, like, yeah, maybe
00:59:23we are a little bit more on par than what I think.
00:59:26Yeah.
00:59:27Makes me really happy.
00:59:29And I've got to stress that one to you.
00:59:31And I sort of need to reassure that and spell it out for you.
00:59:34I do like you, and I have caught up in my feelings for you.
00:59:40Thanks.
00:59:44This is amazing.
00:59:46Like, I just...
00:59:47It really reaffirms that I'm not out here by myself.
00:59:50Like, the feelings are real.
00:59:52The feelings are neutral.
00:59:54Oh!
00:59:57We're leaving here stronger.
00:59:59It is making me really excited about moving to Sydney and being a part of this life.
01:00:05And that's exactly where I wanted Stephen and I to be.
01:00:11Home says it's been great.
01:00:13She's big.
01:00:13She is.
01:00:16Holy shit, this is real.
01:00:29So, last night of homestays, do you think it was successful?
01:00:33Did you think it would go this way?
01:00:35Or are you surprised?
01:00:38Um...
01:00:39Armed with feedback from his friends, Scott wants to address his concerns with Jaya about
01:00:45life together after the experiment.
01:00:49I need to be 100% certain before final vows.
01:00:52And I feel like I want to be able to communicate 100%, be open with my feelings without feeling
01:00:59like I'm on eggshells.
01:01:00I mean, there's a couple of little things I think we still need to address and for me
01:01:03to think about within this experiment and outside this experiment for us to be 100%.
01:01:09Oh, like, yeah, just obviously we had a rough week and stuff.
01:01:13So, I didn't know how it was going to go.
01:01:15I didn't know if you didn't want to be here, but like...
01:01:18Okay.
01:01:19We all have our moments with human beings.
01:01:21Like, I just want you to, like, get that.
01:01:25That's all.
01:01:25Well, sometimes it is difficult to have conversations with Jaya, because I think sometimes Jaya can
01:01:32still repel and get defensive when I'm just trying to talk about a subject.
01:01:38My biggest question to you, like, I know we, like, trust one another, but sometimes I
01:01:42feel like, do you, like, fully 100% trust me?
01:01:49With what?
01:01:50In what way?
01:01:52Every way.
01:01:55With, I don't understand, like...
01:01:57Do you trust me?
01:01:58Like, do you trust my words?
01:01:59Do you trust me as a person?
01:02:01Do you trust me?
01:02:02100%?
01:02:04Say, for example, say the neck pillow.
01:02:08When I get the response of, like, whose is that?
01:02:11The way you ask that, it's like, well, do you even trust me?
01:02:16But then...
01:02:17So, but do you put yourself in my shoes and see how it may look from an outsider coming
01:02:21into your home when you said you've not had a woman in your house for years, in this house
01:02:24ever, and then I see a woman thing?
01:02:27Do you see how, from my point of view, how it could look?
01:02:30Yeah, I know.
01:02:32But, like, I don't know, I just...
01:02:36Like, it's not like, oh, my God, I went looking, but it was just there when I turned
01:02:38the corner at the closet.
01:02:39Yeah, I know.
01:02:39It's not like I opened a drawer and was like, oh, my God, what's in his house?
01:02:43From my point of view, like, it looked a certain way.
01:02:51I feel like sometimes I'm walking on eggshells because I feel like if I want to bring up
01:02:54something, I feel like you might misinterpret it the wrong way.
01:02:59Get defensive and then we're in, like...
01:03:00Oh, yes, God.
01:03:01No, no, no, what I'm saying is, like...
01:03:02I didn't know you wanted to argue today.
01:03:26I didn't know you wanted to argue today.
01:03:33Walking a bit on eggshells, I don't really know what that was about.
01:03:39I wish you told me that you felt like you were on eggshells because I had no idea.
01:03:44I know you love to focus on the positives all the time, and so do I, but in life, it's
01:03:48not always positive.
01:03:49100%.
01:03:49There's going to be moments where I might lose my shit.
01:03:52Like, there's going to be moments where I am a bit fiery about something.
01:03:56Like, do you accept that that's me as a whole?
01:03:58Like, I'm very self-aware.
01:04:01I would have listened, and I would have been apologetic if I needed to be.
01:04:04I don't know why you feel unsafe to, like, say what you want to say.
01:04:10But even, like, trusting me as a person and marking my word, like, all I'm saying, like,
01:04:16do you trust me 100%?
01:04:17That's all.
01:04:19No, I trust you, but can I commit to moving and everything if you never feel, like, you
01:04:25know, that you love me?
01:04:29Where I'm at emotionally moving forward, like, I'm just, obviously, I'm falling for you every
01:04:34day, and I feel like we're on that path.
01:04:38Yeah, we've been on that path for a while.
01:04:40So, he's still falling.
01:04:42When's he going to hit the floor?
01:04:42I don't know.
01:04:43He's been falling for a while.
01:04:45Like, how far is the f***ing sky?
01:04:48The things that I've been concerned that I need to address is the pressure, the love,
01:04:51the...
01:04:52Yeah, yeah.
01:04:52The job, that's the stuff that I've just been talking about this whole end of this experiment.
01:05:01You know me, I don't like to push things, I don't like to rush things, I don't like
01:05:04pressure, I like to go with the flow.
01:05:07Like, I don't like being pushed or rushed or setting a time, but we do have our rough time,
01:05:12like, when to do it all.
01:05:16I need to feel safe and secure enough in this relationship, and I need to feel that he is
01:05:21feeling the same way, or I don't think I could continue this on.
01:05:29That last step of all in, being in love, I'm not there yet.
01:05:39I just want to let my own feelings do its thing.
01:05:42And my feelings aren't being heard, like...
01:05:45That's what affects me and pushes me back.
01:06:03You should be able to say something nice and be genuine about it.
01:06:07You're abusing me over a joke.
01:06:09Pisses me off.
01:06:11What comment has Danny made that leaves Bec seeing red?
01:06:14I'm done.
01:06:15In Adelaide...
01:06:17The biological clock is ticking, you want to have a family, and you don't want to keep
01:06:23putting it off.
01:06:24Alyssa's mum shares words of wisdom from her own life experience.
01:06:29It's really stressful now.
01:06:30Oh, my God.
01:06:31Oh, my God.
01:06:32Alyssa is spiralling.
01:06:37Could this be the most awkward homestay ever?
01:06:46As things for Chris and Sam go from bad...
01:06:50Do you accept full responsibility for your defensiveness and the aggression I felt from you last week?
01:06:54...to worse.
01:06:55Is this hilarious?
01:06:58Um...
01:06:59Yeah!
01:07:05Ooh!
01:07:06Ooh!
01:07:07Ooh!
01:07:07Ooh!
01:07:08Ooh!
01:07:08Ooh!
01:07:09Ooh!
