00:00:00Last night, let's go. Showtime. The participants returned for the
00:00:07traditional reunion dinner party. So good to see them together. It was so awkward
00:00:17when Paul walked in. Are you and Jackie dating each other? We are. The timing of
00:00:24Jackie and Clint's new romance. Didn't even have the balls to tell me. Left Ryan
00:00:29feeling betrayed. You guys started this whole connection when we were still
00:00:34married. I tried my ass off to make this relationship work. I was able to reflect
00:00:42on all these issues that we had. Paul told his version of why things ended with
00:00:47Karina. You can be extremely judgmental. It doesn't sit right with me. Leaving
00:00:51everyone stunned. Oh, you made multiple verses. I'm genuinely surprised at Paul
00:00:58rewriting history. And when Sierra exposed secret comments
00:01:03Safina made about Adrian. He's like, he's stupid. He can't spell. Their
00:01:07relationship reached the point of no return. You talk shit about me all the time.
00:01:11He makes me feel sick. You make me feel sick. Oh my god. La, la, la. The most
00:01:16disrespectful thing you can call someone is stupid. It was a nail in the coffin.
00:01:20Stop talking to me. I'm just forever gonna be the bad guy. And you know what? I can be the
00:01:24bad guy in his story.
00:01:27Because he's a devil in mine. Tonight, after three life-changing months, Australia's biggest social
00:01:37experiment comes to a close. Hello, guys. Eye-opening revelations for our participants and experts.
00:01:49As they watch footage they've never seen before. How do you feel after seeing that? That was a lot.
00:02:04Hi. Hello. Hello. Greetings. Good evening. Welcome. Come on in. Grab a seat. Settle in. Hello. Good to see you
00:02:15all.
00:02:25Welcome back, everybody, to the final reunion. Now, if last night's dinner party is anything to go by,
00:02:35tonight is guaranteed to be an eye-opener.
00:02:41Over three months ago, you threw yourselves into the deep end, looking for the fairy tale and hoping
00:02:49to find love. Now, for some, this experiment led to exactly what you were looking for.
00:02:58For others, however, the journey didn't quite pan out as you would have hoped.
00:03:06Tonight, we have the opportunity to unpack some of the key moments that have shaped this experiment
00:03:12and your relationship in it.
00:03:18But before we dive into those conversations, let's go back to where it all began.
00:03:25Aw. Your wedding days.
00:03:27Oh, my God.
00:03:33I'm done with dating and I'm ready for that real gut feeling inside that tells me, yes, you're with the
00:03:38right person.
00:03:43Oh, my God.
00:03:43Here it is. Hey.
00:03:44Good job, mate.
00:03:45Oh, my God.
00:03:47Oh, you look amazing.
00:03:50I got her by just back to the front, I think.
00:03:51You take it off and slip it around.
00:03:53How many twins did it take to open a wine bottle?
00:03:56Is she the most high-maintenance one you've had?
00:03:58Not at all.
00:03:59Oh, that's surprising.
00:04:12Is that a bin chicken? Oh, my God.
00:04:23Going into the experiment is very daunting.
00:04:25I do want to have a family.
00:04:27Being someone that I can share my life with.
00:04:32Let's get married!
00:04:34This could be the greatest love story anyone's ever bloody seen.
00:04:40It's just gonna be crazy, like, turning around and then seeing, like,
00:04:42that's the person I'm marrying.
00:04:50Hi, Rhi.
00:04:51Hi, Jeff.
00:04:57Oh, my God.
00:05:00Oh, my God.
00:05:02Wow.
00:05:04Oh, my God.
00:05:04It's gorgeous.
00:05:06Nice to meet you.
00:05:08You're actually way too hot.
00:05:10I'm actually not happy.
00:05:12Oh, yes!
00:05:13Will you marry me?
00:05:15I can.
00:05:16Oh, I love that.
00:05:18You look incredible.
00:05:20Like a 70s angel.
00:05:23Is that a nectar?
00:05:26Oh!
00:05:28Yes!
00:05:29Sorry, Todd.
00:05:31That's so good.
00:05:33The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears.
00:05:37The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes.
00:05:42I'm engaged in this experience with open heart and a deep desire to find love.
00:05:47This love that surpasses all the time and all the time.
00:05:50Oh!
00:05:52I believe in love and I've been waiting my whole life to be my person.
00:05:57Oh!
00:05:59I promise to embrace this journey with you, support you through every challenge we face.
00:06:04Oh!
00:06:06I'm here for the right reasons.
00:06:08I also don't have any intentions of doing an OnlyFans account.
00:06:15Ryan, as my friends would say, you hit the jackpot.
00:06:21You'll be required to take me on dates.
00:06:24Buy me flowers at least once a month.
00:06:26Bring me coffee in the morning.
00:06:28Tell me I'm gorgeous.
00:06:29Together we could maybe afford an Eastern Suburbs mortgage.
00:06:33Adopt a Cocker Spaniel puppy.
00:06:35And I'd love to have a double his and her vanity bathroom one day.
00:06:39Hmm.
00:06:40Interesting.
00:06:42Wow!
00:06:46Yay!
00:06:58Woohoo!
00:07:03Yay!
00:07:03It's Italian traditional dance.
00:07:11Yay!
00:07:14Yay!
00:07:16That was great!
00:07:17Oh my god!
00:07:32Woo!
00:07:36Woo!
00:07:37Woo!
00:07:39Woo!
00:07:39Woo!
00:07:40Woo!
00:07:41Woo!
00:07:42That was worse than I thought.
00:07:45I'm so sorry.
00:07:46Oh my god!
00:07:48I tried on the dress.
00:07:51That's good, that's going on national TV.
00:07:53That's going on national TV.
00:08:00Wow, wow, wow.
00:08:04Famous drop.
00:08:05Jamie, you're getting emotional.
00:08:09Yeah, I was...
00:08:10God, I want to start crying.
00:08:12I just, it was so beautiful that we all got to experience that.
00:08:15It really was.
00:08:17And just seeing how beautiful everyone looked.
00:08:19And like, I think we all had so many amazing moments and it was a really good experience.
00:08:23And it was just nice to see everyone.
00:08:25Yeah.
00:08:26Well look, certainly for us, watching all of that has been absolutely gorgeous.
00:08:34All right, to kick it off tonight, let's get up.
00:08:40Jamie and Dave.
00:08:41Woo!
00:08:48Hey guys.
00:08:50So, um, there were a lot of high emotions last night.
00:08:55You were really upset, Jamie.
00:08:57When talking about the demise of the relationship and basically the journey that you guys have been on, especially in
00:09:05the last few weeks.
00:09:06Mm-hmm.
00:09:07Are you ultimately disappointed that it did not work out?
00:09:12Yeah, I'm disappointed because it's, I'm, I remember having this conversation with, I think with my sister and I was
00:09:19trying to explain like the place that we were at.
00:09:22And when you look back at retreat, we were such like a strong united couple and people used to admire
00:09:32us.
00:09:32And I really thought like, oh, I found, I found my man.
00:09:37And I was just so convinced that this was like, this was it for me.
00:09:46And ultimately it didn't pan out.
00:09:50So I think last night, you know, a lot of emotions did come up because it is, there is disappointment.
00:09:58But I know how I want someone to show up in a relationship and that ultimately wasn't the right match.
00:10:04But like, I'm proud that we both tried.
00:10:09And we've got this really good friendship.
00:10:14We've had an incredible journey. We really have.
00:10:19You did just mention that you had an incredible journey.
00:10:22So why don't we take a look at that journey?
00:10:26Yes.
00:10:34I want a husband that is a cross between David Beckham and someone who's done 20 to life.
00:10:49Yes.
00:10:50Sorry, dad.
00:10:56We were all kind of lucky. We kind of hit it off from the start.
00:10:59No, I didn't do that.
00:11:00He made me feel comfortable straight away.
00:11:03The coffee, the coffee machine is my nightclub.
00:11:09Oh my God.
00:11:12Look at this dress. Look at this lady.
00:11:13Give her a spin, give her a spin.
00:11:15Give her a spin.
00:11:15Look at that.
00:11:17It's okay.
00:11:18You're safe. Don't worry.
00:11:21She's an amazing person.
00:11:23She makes me laugh.
00:11:24She's just hilarious.
00:11:25It's a wedding!
00:11:29Today! Today!
00:11:31No!
00:11:33What to do or what to wear.
00:11:36I'm paid all as well.
00:11:37What do I want to do?
00:11:39Get in the shower.
00:11:42Jamie and I...
00:11:46To quote Jersey Shore, Dave and I smooshed.
00:11:51I felt like dopamine was shooting out of my ass this morning.
00:12:00He just makes me a better person.
00:12:03I feel safe.
00:12:04I feel secure.
00:12:05I feel happy.
00:12:06Like tick, tick, tick.
00:12:08Yes!
00:12:09She's bloody amazing.
00:12:10I've shared things with her and she's just zero judgement at all.
00:12:14She's lovely.
00:12:15I kind of saw an opportunity and I said, I love you.
00:12:21Like I really love you.
00:12:23So you haven't said it back?
00:12:26No.
00:12:29I feel like now I've literally gotten a new husband.
00:12:32So Dave's enjoying it as well.
00:12:41I'm gonna be quicker than that around here boys.
00:12:47I think there's been some uncomfortable sleeping arrangements.
00:12:52Yeah.
00:12:54Not us.
00:12:56Not me.
00:12:57Yeah, look, we get on.
00:13:00Yeah, sounds good.
00:13:02Thanks.
00:13:10I have always been the one likely to initiate intimacy.
00:13:14And that's why it makes me confused as to why you don't want more of it.
00:13:22I'm gonna give you some hard truths.
00:13:24Yeah, go on.
00:13:27It's just not like that with you.
00:13:32Are we having a lack of sex because you're not in the love stage?
00:13:36I feel like...
00:13:37Yes or no?
00:13:38Yes.
00:13:40How do you feel about Jamie?
00:13:43Oh, look.
00:13:43I don't...
00:13:44I don't hate her guts.
00:13:45I don't hate Jamie.
00:13:48The feelings aren't there as much as I thought they would be.
00:13:50Do you understand your words are really hurtful?
00:13:55Who is that person?
00:13:58And he just didn't even care.
00:14:00There's things that she wants and I can't give it to her.
00:14:02Like, yeah, I care about her.
00:14:04I don't hate the girl.
00:14:06Oh, no.
00:14:08The girl.
00:14:09I don't hate the girl.
00:14:11That's what he said.
00:14:13We've built three months together today.
00:14:15Three months and I'll plan your future with you and you're telling me today you're like,
00:14:19I don't have... those feelings haven't progressed for you.
00:14:21When did you want to tell me that?
00:14:26I've seen how hurt you were.
00:14:28That's not how I want this to go.
00:14:31I don't want to hurt you at all.
00:14:34Because I f***ing care about you.
00:14:37These are for you.
00:14:39Or flowers.
00:14:42I need to take charge and sort of step up and make her feel wanted and needed and not rejected.
00:14:48I'm willing to give it all I've got.
00:14:51I see that you care.
00:14:58Jamie, I came here looking for something worth holding on to.
00:15:02And with you, I believe that's possible.
00:15:07My heart tells me that I'm not ready to let go of you and everything we've built together.
00:15:11I don't think it's the end of our story.
00:15:13In fact, it may just be the beginning.
00:15:16That's so sweet.
00:15:35Dave, watching that back, what's your opinion of everything that happened with Jamie?
00:15:42The way I handled myself when Jamie raised concerns, I'm ashamed of the way I handled that.
00:15:50Like, this was something so special and it just came to this abrupt halt with all my doing.
00:15:58And I'm so sorry that that's a part of our journey and it's caused by me.
00:16:04Yeah, I should have handled that a lot better.
00:16:08I don't like to hurt people that I care about and I think that's something I'm going to take away
00:16:12from this.
00:16:14She's taught me many good lessons in this relationship.
00:16:17And the negative thing that I've learned about myself from Jamie is that it's not fair to not speak your
00:16:26mind when it's very crucial times.
00:16:29You both chose to stay together at Final Vows.
00:16:33Yeah.
00:16:35And what I'd love to understand is what that happened in Melbourne that led to you not being together today.
00:16:44So, obviously, you guys saw our relationship.
00:16:47It was amazing and then kind of took a turn.
00:16:51And from there, ultimately, the concerns I had had and the concerns I'm sure Dave had with his feelings not
00:16:58progressing very much became apparent when you go into home life.
00:17:05Because, like, when you do have those feelings, you're dying to see that person.
00:17:10You want to do everything. Like, it just wasn't happening.
00:17:15And then once it was clear that those feelings weren't there, it just, I couldn't look away.
00:17:21I just always say, it's like you turn lights on in a nightclub and you're, oh!
00:17:26LAUGHTER
00:17:28It's like that's what it was like every day.
00:17:30So, I'm looking at a man who's trying but you're like, he's not into me, he's not that into me.
00:17:34And then insecurities form and...
00:17:37I don't like to cry.
00:17:39I'd rather be yelling at people. I feel more comfortable yelling.
00:17:43LAUGHTER
00:17:44But I came on here wanting to learn and to look back and go, what a great experience.
00:17:50I feel like that's exactly what him and I had.
00:17:54Who knows? Just like Ria and Jeff, maybe we'll get matched next year, Dave and I.
00:17:59LAUGHTER
00:18:01Well, thank you both so much for the passion and commitment that you showed up with every single day.
00:18:09And we do hope the best for you both in whatever you choose to do in the future.
00:18:13Thank you very much for your help all night, guys.
00:18:15Thank you, guys.
00:18:15APPLAUSE
00:18:24Next up on the couch...
00:18:30Adrian and Fina.
00:18:39Hello, you two.
00:18:41Hello.
00:18:49Hello.
00:18:55Hello.
00:18:57Hello, you two.
00:18:57Hello.
00:18:58Hello, you two.
00:19:00Hello, you two.
00:19:00All right.
00:19:00Well, there's no doubt, Adrian and Fina, that your relationship was marked with both highs and lows.
00:19:07It was tumultuous.
00:19:09And what we saw last night got pretty emotional, very heated.
00:19:14It was raw.
00:19:14It was unfiltered.
00:19:16Should we talk about that first?
00:19:20Yeah, I mean...
00:19:21In coming to the dinner party, I was excited to see Fina.
00:19:25You know, I did miss her.
00:19:27And, um, you know, we started off good.
00:19:29And then, you know, Sierra came in and they were having a chat.
00:19:34And Sierra said to Fina, well, you said this about Adrian.
00:19:38One was, like, my business sucks.
00:19:42I'm never going to be successful.
00:19:44And I can't spell.
00:19:48And for me, the worst thing that you can call someone is an idiot.
00:19:53And that's how I took it.
00:19:57It felt, like, personal.
00:19:59And to hear those things from someone that you think cares about you so much,
00:20:05it was, like, just upsetting and disappointing.
00:20:07Considering I gave so much time and attention to someone and put so much effort in,
00:20:11it was probably the most hurtful thing.
00:20:15And then from that, I just checked out.
00:20:16I'm like, I lost all respect for you.
00:20:17You know, because if you do care for someone, you don't talk about them like that,
00:20:21no matter how upset you are with them.
00:20:24I want someone to be with me that believes in me.
00:20:27And essentially, when I heard all that, I felt like you never believed in me.
00:20:37Afina, did you say those things?
00:20:40Not in that exact context, but there was some truth to it.
00:20:42Which, when Sierra said those things, I said to Adrian, yeah, there is some truth to it.
00:20:47At the time, you had left over not being in a promo video.
00:20:54Sierra and I went for a walk nine weeks ago, at a time that I was really hurt and I
00:20:59was feeling sad.
00:21:00It doesn't matter. I know, like, I shouldn't have hurt your feelings,
00:21:02but I feel like hurt people say things out of context.
00:21:04But what I did say, I mentioned his business, yes.
00:21:07And I said he was here for the wrong reasons, because at the time, that's how I felt.
00:21:11Obviously, the last time you guys all saw Adrian, Sierra and I together,
00:21:15was when Sierra apologised for going out for dinner with Adrian.
00:21:20So, we moved past that.
00:21:22It's been weeks now.
00:21:24And I'm getting, you know, calls from Adrian telling me that Sierra's reached out to him again
00:21:29to go out for dinner and essentially come back in together.
00:21:33So what happened?
00:21:35It just felt like another slap in the face.
00:21:40And then a week after leaving the experiment, Adrian sends me a string of text messages from Sierra.
00:21:47It was just a barrage of messages about I effing hate Athena and her tacky weave.
00:21:53So, I feel like she has got a lot of resentment towards me because I stayed in the experiment.
00:21:58I understand you feel like you were robbed of that experience, but your relationship didn't work with Billy.
00:22:03I have no involvement in that.
00:22:06But also, if you came here for a life partner, you didn't get it, you should have left.
00:22:10Like, how are you mad at me over that?
00:22:15Sierra, what do you have to say about that?
00:22:18Um, alright.
00:22:19First of all, I never actually reached out to Adrian.
00:22:22When I left, he reached out to me to ask if I was okay.
00:22:27The whole coming back together thing, what happened was the day after I left,
00:22:32I said, oh, the wife swap thing might have been a good idea.
00:22:35What?
00:22:37Oh my God.
00:22:40Hang on, hang on. Just let me speak.
00:22:42For context, Athena had said those things to me about Adrian.
00:22:45She said she wanted to leave.
00:22:46I did say I wanted to leave, it's true.
00:22:48I wanted to, I won't leave.
00:22:49Sorry, I'll let you speak, Athena.
00:22:51Um, it's my turn to defend myself.
00:22:53But you're gonna lie.
00:22:54Just, just let me speak.
00:22:58So I was like, well, she said that her type was actually a tattooed tradie from first,
00:23:03and I go, what's right, that's Billy.
00:23:05And then I said, maybe the wife swap was a great idea, we should come back together.
00:23:12And that was basically it.
00:23:14You're upset, you've done the wrong thing.
00:23:16And instead of having any real accountability, and you tried to vilify me,
00:23:20all that hate towards me is not fair.
00:23:27All right, well, Adrian, Athena, I need to bring it back to you now.
00:23:32We're gonna take a look back at your journey on this experiment.
00:23:48You're twins.
00:23:50You're twins.
00:23:50How are you?
00:23:52Twins on twins.
00:23:54Double trouble.
00:24:00I'm Adrian.
00:24:01Hi.
00:24:01Nice to meet you.
00:24:02I'm Avina.
00:24:03Nice to meet you.
00:24:05You're actually way too hot.
00:24:06I'm actually not happy.
00:24:08She's exactly my type.
00:24:10She's everything I could've asked for.
00:24:15You know, it's two days in.
00:24:16I know we have real chemistry.
00:24:20Give me a nice pose.
00:24:23Adrian and I connected.
00:24:27You're number one, by far.
00:24:29I actually know it's every year.
00:24:32We're not even close to them.
00:24:37By far, honestly, when I meant it, like, if I had to pair them up and I didn't know anyone,
00:24:42it would still be my top pick, 100%.
00:24:44By far.
00:24:49Cute.
00:24:53Do you want kids?
00:24:54Yeah, of course.
00:24:55Would've had them yesterday.
00:24:57Someone's saying they could have kids yesterday is like someone saying,
00:25:00they're ready to be a dad now.
00:25:02I didn't say I want someone else's kid.
00:25:05I literally told you from the second that you said I had a kid that it was going to be
00:25:08a problem.
00:25:09Why are you still here?
00:25:10Because you don't want someone with children.
00:25:12Why are you still here?
00:25:12You know what you want.
00:25:13I would like if we can kind of just try to come together as a team.
00:25:17One moment we're arguing.
00:25:19Next minute kid gives me that nice, cute little smile.
00:25:22And you know, I easily melt and give in.
00:25:25I hate that face.
00:25:28You know exactly what face you do to me.
00:25:31I just don't know if that is a foundation of a strong relationship.
00:25:35Question.
00:25:37Have you ever cheated on a past partner?
00:25:40Yeah, I did.
00:25:42I made out with someone, but I told my ex straight away and I'm admitting it.
00:25:48And I just don't feel like a lot of people will.
00:25:50Yeah.
00:25:50A lot of people don't want to realise they're a shit person.
00:25:53Oh my gosh.
00:25:54Have you cheated, Adrian?
00:25:56Did you answer all the questions honestly?
00:26:00No.
00:26:04What if I say I've seen your application?
00:26:07Seriously.
00:26:08Oh God.
00:26:10Adrian!
00:26:13Yeah, I might have.
00:26:14I might have hooked up with that girl.
00:26:16Jesus Christ.
00:26:17Wow.
00:26:18Are you joking?
00:26:19I do get this feeling that Adrian's keeping something from me.
00:26:23Actually, why were you out for dinner, Sierra, Saturday night?
00:26:27Hey, you took her out.
00:26:29Billy, bro.
00:26:30What do you think I'm going to do?
00:26:32Steal your wife or something?
00:26:35I mean, I'm a human, right?
00:26:40Should we just do that wife's job?
00:26:41See how they would like to have tomorrow?
00:26:43Where's your door?
00:26:47Oh my God.
00:26:48This is like insane.
00:26:51Hello?
00:26:54Adrian?
00:26:56He's not here.
00:26:58I pissed off that I'm not in the promo.
00:27:01Disrespectful.
00:27:02I'm not coming back until I'll give him the promo.
00:27:05Shit.
00:27:07I left because I was frustrated.
00:27:11Adrian, I've got it on good authority that you gave an ultimate.
00:27:16I reacted on emotions.
00:27:19I'm a man.
00:27:19I make mistakes.
00:27:22Adrian, I've got to jump in.
00:27:23Because the way in which you're saying this is a real problem.
00:27:27You're not showing empathy.
00:27:29And you're certainly getting defensive now.
00:27:31So what I'm feeding back to you, Adrian,
00:27:33is that you're not good at saying sorry.
00:27:36And that's a problem.
00:27:40We can now reveal that during the matchmaking process
00:27:43there was more than one person you were compatible with.
00:27:46For this final week, you have the opportunity,
00:27:49if you choose, to meet them.
00:27:52You know what?
00:27:52Let's go.
00:27:55What's one more task, right?
00:27:56Adrian.
00:27:57Adrian.
00:27:58Nice to meet you.
00:27:59Tim, nice to meet you.
00:28:02How old's your little one, by the way?
00:28:03Six.
00:28:04What does he enjoy doing?
00:28:06Oh, he plays footy.
00:28:08Tim asked me more questions about my life in one day
00:28:10than I'd gotten in the first six weeks from Adrian.
00:28:14I'm usually fine with meeting someone for the first time,
00:28:17but now I'm sort of a bit speechless,
00:28:18so I'm like, shit, I don't know why.
00:28:20Yeah.
00:28:21Nice colour on you.
00:28:22You look beautiful too.
00:28:25I do, I do like your look.
00:28:27There you go.
00:28:28Yeah, you know.
00:28:29So, what about you?
00:28:30Similar to you.
00:28:31Yeah.
00:28:31Sure.
00:28:32Okay, cool.
00:28:34Yeah.
00:28:35You know, has Max seen someone I would hang out with?
00:28:39Probably.
00:28:42He's, okay, in a 2.0.
00:28:44Jesus.
00:28:45Oh.
00:28:57You're not my future right now.
00:28:59This is where our journey ends.
00:29:01It's best for both of us that I walk away.
00:29:06Do you want to spend time with me tonight?
00:29:10Do you want to try right now, though,
00:29:12and see what the connection looks like outside of this experiment, Adrian?
00:29:19Yes.
00:29:39Afina, would you have liked to have continued the relationship with Adrian outside the experiment?
00:29:45The moment I landed in Perth, that answer smacked me in the face that that was a no.
00:29:50And that's the truth.
00:29:53I was like, I made a mistake.
00:29:55There's nothing here.
00:29:57There's just a physical connection.
00:30:01I got home and I felt really good.
00:30:07I was like, I am amazing.
00:30:10Yes, you are.
00:30:13I am a good mum.
00:30:17I am hot.
00:30:21And I had this epiphany where I was like, who wouldn't want me?
00:30:27Felt good, but it's a feeling I hadn't felt and I didn't recognise almost the entire experiment.
00:30:36I didn't feel hot.
00:30:39I didn't feel like Adrian would want me or likes me.
00:30:46I just felt small.
00:30:51And, you know, sometimes I would lash out from those feelings of rejection and hurt.
00:30:56And I feel like you fuelled with comments said and actions.
00:31:00I just didn't feel good about myself in the experiment.
00:31:05I don't think from the beginning I was ever your person.
00:31:09Do you think he was your person?
00:31:12No.
00:31:14My person wouldn't make me feel like this.
00:31:22I'm sorry you felt that way.
00:31:26I'm sorry I didn't make you feel wanted.
00:31:29I'm sorry I didn't bring out the best in you.
00:31:32I'm sorry.
00:31:34And I know for a fact, in time, she's going to meet that person that does.
00:31:39And as much as it sucks, it wasn't me.
00:31:48Well, look, we have to say thank you both for throwing yourselves into this experiment so completely.
00:31:56You both showed real vulnerability and we've loved having you here.
00:32:02Thank you both.
00:32:11Coming up...
00:32:12It's crazy to see where we started and where we are.
00:32:15Have you dropped the I love you yet?
00:32:20And...
00:32:20I was living with her when you were talking to her, mate.
00:32:24I forgot, we're not mates.
00:32:24We're not talking about that right now, Ryan.
00:32:26Apparently we're not mates.
00:32:27Jackie and Ryan go head to head.
00:32:30I'm so sick of it, Ryan.
00:32:32You're sick of what?
00:32:32Being held accountable for your actions?
00:32:35And later...
00:32:36Karina has also done certain things that have also made me feel extremely uncomfortable and upset at times.
00:32:41Paul hears some hard truths.
00:32:44I've had enough.
00:32:45I'm going to tell you the way it is and look at me when I'm talking to you.
00:32:49Because I won't get another chance to give this to you straight.
00:33:04And next up on the couch we have...
00:33:10Ryan and Jackie.
00:33:17Hello.
00:33:17Hello guys.
00:33:18Hello you two.
00:33:19Hi guys.
00:33:20Good to see you all again.
00:33:21Hello.
00:33:22Hi.
00:33:23So where to start?
00:33:26Last night we learnt some new information.
00:33:30Oh.
00:33:31Jackie, why don't you fill us in on the situation with Clint?
00:33:36So after final vows, you know, things ended pretty badly.
00:33:40And I was pretty sad for about two weeks and crying and...
00:33:45Mmm.
00:33:46What did you say during final vows?
00:33:49You didn't seem sad then.
00:33:50I said a lot of stuff during final vows, Ryan.
00:33:52You didn't seem sad then.
00:33:54So yeah, Clint and I had started talking and we developed a friendship.
00:33:59We started bonding over our shared experience and experiment
00:34:03and how disappointed we essentially were.
00:34:06And then Clint invited me down to Tasmania.
00:34:11So just took the leap, flew down with a one-way ticket.
00:34:15And then we just headed off and we found out we've got like a lot in common.
00:34:21We have a lot of fun together.
00:34:23We can't spend a minute apart really without missing each other.
00:34:27We've tested, you know, do you want to have kids?
00:34:29How many kids would you have?
00:34:30Like we've kind of gone through everything and figured out actually,
00:34:33we do feel like we're compatible.
00:34:37And we're really happy.
00:34:39And so, yeah, I'm now I'm moving in with Clint.
00:34:44Wow.
00:34:48Sorry.
00:34:49Sorry.
00:34:50That's mad.
00:34:52Why is it funny?
00:34:53Because it's taken two weeks.
00:34:55Why is it everyone in this room signed up for an experiment
00:34:58where you were going to marry a stranger,
00:35:00you're going to go about three months of your lives.
00:35:02Like it's not a big deal, guys.
00:35:04You all did the same thing.
00:35:05Not a big deal.
00:35:09They're having their own experiment.
00:35:12I would love to hear from you, Clint.
00:35:15How serious is this for you?
00:35:18Oh, it's very serious.
00:35:21So I thought, why not live together?
00:35:23And I was living with her when you were talking to her, mate.
00:35:27I forgot we're not mates.
00:35:28We're not talking about that right now, Ryan.
00:35:30Apparently we're not mates.
00:35:31Ryan, Ryan, we're not talking.
00:35:32Apparently we're not mates.
00:35:34When did you first start talking?
00:35:38You started the beginnings of a relationship when you were married to me.
00:35:41That's not the case, Ryan.
00:35:42That is the case.
00:35:43That is not the case.
00:35:48Ryan, you're saying that these guys were talking before final vows.
00:35:53100%.
00:35:54How do you know that information?
00:35:56Because I was there when we all exchanged numbers.
00:35:59The first week that Clint came into the experiment.
00:36:03Okay.
00:36:04And I was like, okay, I don't see an issue here.
00:36:06I know that they're chatting.
00:36:07I didn't know the depth to it all.
00:36:10Jackie told me, and actually Clint confirmed it,
00:36:12that after one of the commitment ceremonies,
00:36:15Jackie called Clint at 3am saying like,
00:36:18oh, I hate Ryan.
00:36:19The experts are so unfair.
00:36:22But I'm like, it is okay for people to have friends.
00:36:25I'm friends with it as well.
00:36:27Well, at least I thought.
00:36:29The rumours were swirling and I called Jackie after final vows.
00:36:32And I said, look, just tell me,
00:36:35are you and Clint thinking about talking more,
00:36:37maybe even meeting up?
00:36:38She goes, no.
00:36:41And then she goes, I really do love you.
00:36:44I really do respect you.
00:36:46I would never disrespect you like that.
00:36:48Wow.
00:36:50Shit.
00:36:51Oh, Jackie.
00:36:55That's not what happened.
00:36:56I've got the text.
00:36:57Of course it's not.
00:36:59I've got the text to confirm it.
00:37:01You just said it was a phone call, Ryan.
00:37:03I called you.
00:37:03And now you're saying there were texts.
00:37:04Yeah.
00:37:05After the phone call, you sent me texts saying those exact things
00:37:07and I've still got them on my phone.
00:37:10So I'm sick of it, Ryan.
00:37:11You're sick of what?
00:37:12Being held accountable for your actions?
00:37:14No.
00:37:16Ryan, you seem really hurt by this.
00:37:20You know what?
00:37:21If I have to be completely honest, it's not this specific situation.
00:37:24It's the culmination of this relationship.
00:37:28You made my life hell.
00:37:32Like, and my question is, with the mountain of evidence,
00:37:36actions, words, contradictions, the non-acceptance,
00:37:40did you ever really want to be in this relationship with me?
00:37:46Yes.
00:37:47Truly.
00:37:47Yes.
00:37:52Well, I think everyone's very excited to see your journey.
00:37:56Oh, my God.
00:37:57Yes.
00:37:58The moment has come.
00:38:00Let's take a look, shall we?
00:38:02Oh, yeah.
00:38:03Look at everyone.
00:38:04No talking.
00:38:06Silence.
00:38:07Shhh.
00:38:08Where have all the warriors gone?
00:38:10Where have all the knights gone?
00:38:12Men without these roles have lost their way.
00:38:17So, for example, I know basic plumbing.
00:38:20I can change a tap.
00:38:23It's impossible to find someone on my level.
00:38:25So I'm hoping the guy is very successful and blunt.
00:38:29I think I'll know straight away whether he's got potential.
00:38:36Yeah, I'm a little bit disappointed he's not blonde.
00:38:40The male version of me is really what I was looking for.
00:38:45Jordan.
00:38:47And I was a bit concerned that he didn't take the lead
00:38:49when we had to walk back down the aisle
00:38:51because I don't want to be at one, like...
00:38:55There's so many shitmen out there.
00:38:58I'm going to dip here, ready?
00:38:59Yes.
00:38:59You're going to have to catch me, though.
00:39:06Oh, wow!
00:39:07Sorry, sorry, sorry.
00:39:09This is where you'll find me today.
00:39:11I actually don't want the TV in our bedroom.
00:39:12You can't watch TV in there, okay, Ryan?
00:39:14I'll watch TV when I want.
00:39:15No, I don't want TV.
00:39:16I'll watch TV when I want.
00:39:17Okay, there's...
00:39:19My top choice.
00:39:21Alright, last one.
00:39:22I'll put you third.
00:39:24Yeah.
00:39:26How hard is it to just be like,
00:39:28hey, I made a mistake.
00:39:29You're f***ing gorgeous.
00:39:31Because that would be a lie.
00:39:33Oh!
00:39:34Ryan!
00:39:36Oh, what a dude.
00:39:37With regards to the photo task,
00:39:39I'm not going to take the answer back,
00:39:40and then suddenly, like, the crazy eyes came out of everybody.
00:39:43What?
00:39:44But, uh, I've got to say, like, she gives awesome s***.
00:39:49Whoa!
00:39:51I'm ashamed.
00:39:52I'm ashamed of that.
00:39:53I'm writing a letter to you.
00:39:56The first thing I'd like to say is, like,
00:39:58when you dropped me at our wedding,
00:40:00I did hit my head.
00:40:01And it took you three weeks to buy me flowers.
00:40:06And the time when I was asking you to do stuff around the house,
00:40:09like, can you please close the door when you go to the bathroom?
00:40:11Can you please keep your shoes off the bed?
00:40:12I feel like you're not sensitive to my emotions.
00:40:15I was also very disappointed that...
00:40:17Oh, there's more. Fantastic.
00:40:19Yeah.
00:40:20Yeah, the first time we went out for breakfast,
00:40:23you didn't offer to pay.
00:40:26No!
00:40:26And the reason why I have a rap sheet of all the stuff you've done
00:40:29is because you've done so much bad stuff.
00:40:31I can't win with you.
00:40:32I'm just trying to be nice to you.
00:40:34I'm trying to help you grow into the man you could be.
00:40:38Geoff got a text message from Jackie
00:40:40asking to catch up without me there.
00:40:43Excuse me?
00:40:44What the f***?
00:40:46Don't touch me. Don't touch me.
00:40:48OK.
00:40:50As soon as the heat was turned on her, tears come.
00:40:53He's going around behind me back
00:40:54trying to get everyone against me.
00:40:56I can see your side.
00:40:58But, Jackie, you've written a sheet of things that, like, you know...
00:41:03I didn't do that.
00:41:05Oh, my God!
00:41:07That's the thing.
00:41:09But, hey, Seb?
00:41:10Yeah, did you believe him?
00:41:12That's the problem, Jamie.
00:41:13He just brings bullshit around.
00:41:18I reckon even my nipples are tired of this.
00:41:23Ryan, I'm concerned that you financially contribute less than I will.
00:41:28Like, theoretically, if it came to it, would you be happy being a stay-at-home dad?
00:41:32What if I ended up in a coma?
00:41:33Who's going to look after our kids?
00:41:36Um, your beard isn't very manly.
00:41:40My beard?
00:41:42Jackie is the most difficult person I've ever tried to date in my life.
00:41:47I can't have conversations with you about anything, because your brain is so small.
00:41:52OK, come in, come in.
00:41:54So this is the lounge room.
00:41:55I just think he's been alone here for seven years.
00:41:58It really reminds me of the elderly.
00:42:01I just feel bad for Ryan.
00:42:03Oh, I've heard enough about your standards.
00:42:05Why don't you want to be someone great?
00:42:10Wouldn't you rather find someone that meets your high standards?
00:42:15There's no one out there that meets my standards.
00:42:20I'm really sorry that you don't feel accepted by me.
00:42:23I want you to know I do accept you.
00:42:26And I want you to know how much I do really think you're one of the greatest humans I've ever
00:42:31met.
00:42:32And I've loved you since the day I met you.
00:42:35Ugh.
00:42:36And I mean that.
00:42:38That's why I'm so out broken.
00:42:41Are you joking?
00:42:45Yeah, Rory's really good looking.
00:42:47I feel like I just want to hang out with Rory now.
00:42:50If you want to give me your number.
00:42:51I will be out of this experiment in probably ten days.
00:42:55Oh!
00:42:57What the f***?
00:42:59Did you tell Ryan that you swapped numbers with Rory?
00:43:01Um, I didn't tell Ryan that I swapped numbers with Rory, but he didn't ask.
00:43:05So, it's okay.
00:43:09I think Ryan will be blown away.
00:43:12I've got some iconic lines that will go down in history as memorable.
00:43:17Ryan, I'm not a rehabilitation centre for a man.
00:43:21I'm sorry.
00:43:23That's ridiculous.
00:43:24Don't call my front of us ridiculous.
00:43:25That's not nice.
00:43:26I was always open and willing to listen and fix.
00:43:29It's not me.
00:43:30Your pride is the problem.
00:43:32As a man, you're not perfect.
00:43:35It's not the 1920s anymore.
00:43:38In a world of red flags, you are the red carpet.
00:43:44Being in a relationship with her is exhausting.
00:43:48I feel sorry for the next man who comes along and tries to be with her.
00:43:52Because unless he makes like 10 million a year or is willing to be a stay-at-home dad, run.
00:43:57Just run now.
00:43:59I'm hopeful that I will find my person.
00:44:01I just don't know when it's going to be.
00:44:03I have a feeling that it's going to happen sooner than I think though.
00:44:09There it is.
00:44:10Because you already found him.
00:44:15What an incredible journey for the two of you.
00:44:18Jackie, what was that like to watch for you?
00:44:22It was pretty sad to watch.
00:44:25It took me back to those times where I was feeling really hurt.
00:44:29I just felt like I could never get through to Ryan on anything.
00:44:32Like it was even last night.
00:44:34You got through so much.
00:44:34I took so much accountability with sitting right here.
00:44:37Can you just stop interrupting me?
00:44:38Ryan.
00:44:42And I felt like actually it wasn't ever me.
00:44:49way.
00:44:50It's something with Ryan.
00:44:51And he just blanks.
00:44:52Like he deflects.
00:44:53And he just, you can't get into him in any way possible.
00:44:56It's like, it's impossible.
00:44:59Ryan, how did you feel watching that back?
00:45:02Yeah, there was some times there where I was indelicate for sure.
00:45:07I have definitely made mistakes.
00:45:10100%.
00:45:11I take full accountability for that.
00:45:13But like you're saying you couldn't get through to me and whatnot.
00:45:15But like in week two you wanted a different man.
00:45:18And then in week three you were texting another groom.
00:45:22Like there's just all these examples of her being so apparently dissatisfied with me and continuing to write stay.
00:45:30He was so unhappy and you're so dissatisfied with your man.
00:45:33He's not up to scratch.
00:45:34He's not meeting your standards.
00:45:35He's not blonde.
00:45:36He's not 64.
00:45:37He's not a multimillionaire.
00:45:38He doesn't be a stay at home dad.
00:45:39Like the criticisms were endless.
00:45:42Why did you continue to write stay?
00:45:45Yeah.
00:45:47Maybe everyone treats the experiment differently.
00:45:49I thought that I wanted to give it a go.
00:45:51I didn't want to throw away the chance to be matched with someone that I'm supposed to be compatible with.
00:45:57Jackie, it just doesn't make sense to me even now.
00:45:59It made sense to me.
00:46:00I was sweeping my feelings under the rug so that we could try and I could be patient and have
00:46:06hope that with time you would change.
00:46:08What?
00:46:08That's not what this experiment is about.
00:46:10It's not about ignoring your feelings.
00:46:11It's not about constant criticism.
00:46:14You can see I did not ignore my feelings.
00:46:16I tried to bring them up and you shut me down every time, Brian.
00:46:19I was so keen to talk to you about everything.
00:46:26Jackie.
00:46:32What?
00:46:32What?
00:46:32That's not what this experiment is about.
00:46:34It's not about ignoring your feelings.
00:46:35It's not about constant criticism.
00:46:37No, I didn't.
00:46:37You can see I did not ignore my feelings.
00:46:39I tried to bring them up and you shut me down every time, Brian.
00:46:42I was so keen to talk to you about everything.
00:46:49Now you're yelling at that's not going to solve anything.
00:46:51okay because at the end of the day you say one thing then you do another you were spinning my
00:46:56head around every day i was walking on eggshells and then every time i brought up a problem you
00:47:00said i don't change this is who i am this is the man she's trying to change me but the
00:47:05reality is
00:47:06like your behavior just never got up to scratch it was impossible to build a relationship with
00:47:11you i don't think we had any real communication right from the beginning what about the times
00:47:16when you sat on this couch and presented a really happy situation going on between you that was
00:47:23genuine i truly believe that was genuine okay for me i i didn't have a voice and that's what made
00:47:30it
00:47:30work like that's excellent actually i've ignoring my feelings ignoring how hurt i was feeling and just
00:47:37putting on a brave faith a show it wasn't a show a performance and that's why that's what it's what
00:47:43brave people do every day before we get into what he said she said again plent now that you're in
00:47:49a
00:47:49relationship with jackie i'm intrigued about what your take is on their relationship
00:47:58watching the video was exactly what jackie described went on
00:48:05and i just cannot believe some of the behavior that he's demonstrated to a female
00:48:09it's actually disgraceful and even from like seeing jackie on there is that any is any alarms
00:48:15that you've seen watching jackie not at all not at all
00:48:22i've actually fallen more for her since i've just watched that
00:48:32jackie i'm interested to know what you've learned from being in this experiment
00:48:38um i've learned a lot like i've definitely learned a lot about myself i've learned that
00:48:43i can be confusing and i've also learned like not to try and change someone even going through
00:48:49the challenges even though you know like we didn't work out in the end i can still take
00:48:54those learnings from every challenge to know what would make a relationship successful in the future
00:49:00so i'm really happy with um my experience to you ryan what do you think you've learned
00:49:08from this experiment i've learned so much more about sensitivity you need to be able to lean more
00:49:15into like the the feminine side of a relationship because that's the fabric that hold things together
00:49:19but the ending is not what i wanted i still do feel betrayed
00:49:26yeah
00:49:30well what a ride it's been for not just you but everybody that's been close to you
00:49:36jackie you are now riding off into the sunset with clint
00:49:41uh and we wish you all the best for that and for you ryan the future is bright it is
00:49:48so uh good
00:49:49luck with it all thank you guys
00:49:59next up on the couch
00:50:15we have a lot to unpack yes it is very clear from last night that karina you chose to not
00:50:25be in the
00:50:25relationship anymore at final vows where do you guys stand currently
00:50:36paul
00:50:39so obviously when i heard karina's decision i was i was yeah i was heartbroken
00:50:44that rejection interesting it just didn't sit well with me
00:50:50but yeah and then and after being home for for about four days i was just able to reflect on
00:50:58the
00:50:58whole experiment and then all these arguments that we've had and all these little issues that we've
00:51:05had and the question i asked myself was okay are we as compatible as i thought we were
00:51:16so paul just to be clear what are the reasons that you feel make you not compatible with karina
00:51:25you know like for example the fact that she weren't really able to to take on much criticism
00:51:31like throughout the show and then i felt like every time i was trying to raise certain concerns
00:51:37it always sort of blew back in my face
00:51:44and then the second thing was the fact that she has been quite judgmental in in in a fair few
00:51:50situation
00:51:54my major concern was the fact that karina wasn't showing really showing me her true self
00:52:01because she worries a lot about her image
00:52:06i always felt like sometimes karina was you know making decisions or basing her decisions
00:52:13based on what other people might potentially think of her
00:52:18and and that to me that it just doesn't sit down with me
00:52:23like it's not it's not being fully authentic
00:52:28karina said to me you said i didn't want people to think that i'm not the kind of person who
00:52:33stands
00:52:33for what she for what i believe
00:52:37what is wrong with that
00:52:41well because she should make her decision based on what she truly wants
00:52:46towards the relationship towards me not based on what other people are going to think of
00:52:50whatever the decision she's going to make
00:52:54but the the common denominator in in that equation
00:52:59is her standing by her beliefs
00:53:08i would appreciate it paul if you do not speak over me
00:53:20the common denominator in in that equation is her standing by her beliefs
00:53:27she was talking about she was going to say yes she thought that people were going to think
00:53:31i would appreciate it paul if you do not speak over me
00:53:37hey paul the mistakes you made early in this experiment and karina forgave you multiple times
00:53:44i don't think she was worried about what other people thought because if she was she wouldn't have
00:53:48forgiven you she wrote for you she wrote for you hard i've been so genuine throughout this
00:53:55whole experiment you threw me under the bus multiple times you weren't giving me the reassurance you
00:54:01made me feel so insecure i literally tried to stick out and make it work
00:54:11i think this is a good time to look back on your journey in this experiment
00:54:23hi hello how are you i'm good how are you i'm good god you're gorgeous oh that's so nice
00:54:43i know him i wasn't in the second day he just stopped texting he goes to me yeah
00:54:55so karina and i actually met about a year ago you're kidding me no no no no but we just
00:55:00went
00:55:00our separate ways i was going through a bit of a rough patch at that point okay the only mistake
00:55:06i've done was to not communicate that you know and i could have communicated a little bit better my
00:55:11family are so important to me so that was definitely a big tick i'm smitten honestly like she is perfect
00:55:23i just feel like we're both walking on like a romantic bubble there was intimacy with paul last
00:55:31night let's say that we are compatible i feel like i've won the jackpot so last night things just got
00:55:44a
00:55:45little bit heated i said i've slept with this rapper and paul obviously got offended by it and
00:55:53he got really angry and he yeah punched the wall
00:55:58i was so so angry at that comment in the cab i felt so disrespected like i was just like
00:56:05whoa like
00:56:06what the hell i just felt like an idiot and i could i could hear you trying to apologize
00:56:11it i just i couldn't really take your apology sincerely because it was like i'm sorry but
00:56:21because owned up to his actions and what he did like i can see it that he's sad and
00:56:29i'm gonna have to make that up to karina of course i feel like she is a bit of a
00:56:33snob sometimes
00:56:33and can come across as very judgy and i'll be honest with you this is giving me the ick
00:56:40and now i'm not gonna lie when i told karina about cleo she said oh i didn't know you would
00:56:46go for
00:56:46that kind of caliber yeah wow you know
00:56:52there's been multiple times where i've noticed some contradiction between the way she portrays
00:56:57herself and some of her behaviors or actions um yeah so i feel like she's a bit of a
00:57:07sorry what am i yeah i feel like she what am i yes um i feel like she is and
00:57:14she can come across
00:57:14as a very as very judgy were there any parts that you left out no
00:57:21were there words of your letter that you left out well i reread your letter and why did you miss
00:57:29out the part of saying i was a snob me when i asked you in interview earlier
00:57:36if there were any words you left out of your letter you said no
00:57:43why was that um you know i to be fair i wasn't like 100 percent of the exact meaning of
00:57:53snob
00:57:53oh come on man
00:58:00we can now reveal that during the matchmaking process there was more than one person you were
00:58:05compatible with your partner is receiving the exact same task and will also decide whether to meet
00:58:12this other match do you think paul would go today no i think i i don't think paul would make
00:58:19that
00:58:20idiotic decision to go hey hello so yes what do you what do you do in life i like to
00:58:30hike
00:58:32so you're an outdoorsy person yeah well same like i'm i'm actually also a very outdoorsy person
00:58:38the more outdoor stuff i can do the better makes me happy yeah why didn't it work out with your
00:58:43wife
00:58:44oh no everything is working really well with my wife oh really yeah absolutely so if you're so happy
00:58:49why are you here yeah this is why i'm single because there's married men that are always looking for more
00:59:06so i've got good news yes oh yay what do you mean oh no i did i did i did
00:59:12but no no but like don't
00:59:13worry when i got there all i'm able to run away like ew it was so weird as soon as
00:59:19i met her first
00:59:20girl physically what the hell like literally barbie doll i was like hey oh when i was sitting there
00:59:28it just just so you know it just made me realize how how much i like you how much i
00:59:33like our
00:59:34relationship literally the entire time spoke about you it's not cheating it is i don't appreciate
00:59:41that you should know my morals you idiot like that's not cool you literally went on a date with
00:59:48another woman i haven't gone out of nowhere it's your while i'm here washing your clothes you know
00:59:55so i'm embarrassed do you think rey and jeff would do something like that who cares about the other
00:59:59because it shows that they're strong i've worked so much more than this i'm actually so much better
01:00:05than this paul i can't ignore the good times in the experiment where you made me feel special and
01:00:15cared for and loved however
01:00:22you were given a test which you failed so close to the end paul i was yours you had me
01:00:30and you ruined it
01:00:43i don't have it in me anymore to continue to forgive i made this decision for my future karina self
01:00:53i just want to i don't know i just i feel like asking you to maybe try a little harder
01:00:59to lose
01:00:59past it i just i just want to try to convince her again you know like
01:01:07if she does i'm i'll i'll i'll be here with open arms oh cool 100 percent
01:01:24wow
01:01:37karina just watching your journey back there how does that make you feel
01:01:43uh it's yeah just bringing up some uncomfortable situations um yeah reaffirming my decision
01:01:59paul how do you feel after seeing that that was a lot
01:02:05um
01:02:08i i know i've made i've made a few mistakes along the way but i
01:02:21i think
01:02:21like karina has also like like probably not as much as i did but karina has also like
01:02:26certain did say certain things to me or has done certain things that
01:02:29who have also made me feel extremely uncomfortable and upset at times
01:02:35paul i've had enough
01:02:39i'm going to tell you the way it is
01:02:42you have to stop playing the victim
01:02:46and look at me when i'm talking to you
01:02:49because i won't get another chance to give this to you straight
01:03:16i'm going to tell you the way it is
01:03:21i'm going to tell you the way it is
01:03:22i'm going to tell you the way it is
01:03:23you have to stop playing the victim
01:03:28and look at me when i'm talking to you because i won't get another chance
01:03:31to give this to you straight
01:03:35and you need to change
01:03:40i have seen a guy
01:03:43who has consistently broken his partner's trust not once not twice three times
01:03:54the first thing you overreacted to a comment in a car you punched a wall that's violence
01:04:03no excuse you did it and you shouldn't have
01:04:09the second thing you talk outside of your relationship to afina without telling karina about it
01:04:20you threw her under the bus
01:04:23that's betrayal
01:04:26the third thing you get a chance
01:04:29to really grow your bond by saying no i'm not going to meet another woman for a date
01:04:36and you say you know what i'm curious i think i will
01:04:40you're not going to meet another woman for a date
01:04:44are you hearing me yes i'm hearing you john
01:04:49any way you look at it it's bad
01:04:52and i don't like to sit this close and watch someone blame the person who's been on the receiving end
01:05:00of that
01:05:02rolling your eyes shrugging saying she's not compatible because of these reasons frankly
01:05:09it just made me sick in the stomach
01:05:16this must be a wake-up call to you
01:05:19here it is
01:05:25karina i'm curious how do you feel
01:05:29um i wanted the fairy tale ending and i didn't get it um so yeah it's disappointing
01:05:39i just wish you kind of switched on a little bit more and considered the repercussions and how you
01:05:46would make me feel by make like choosing what you did
01:05:58sorry yes i think my question is to you are you genuine it's all it comes down to
01:06:04what do you mean if he wanted to be in this experiment for the right reasons
01:06:09we'll ask him of course i already have of course and you know you know yeah taking you on dates
01:06:15doing fun stuff together i was genuinely i was i was loving spending time with you
01:06:23i know i've made like some terrible mistakes like like i know i'm not perfect and i know i need
01:06:28that there's a lot of work that i need to do on myself i know that as much as it's
01:06:31hard to hear
01:06:33i know i need to there's a lot of things that i need to improve
01:06:39and what about you karina have you taken away any lessons from this
01:06:43yeah i think the biggest thing for me is pretty much to just trust my gut and be more confident
01:06:50within myself i i know i'm like a bit more chilled and laid back and i tolerate more things
01:06:56than i should so i need to be more firm um yeah
01:07:03well look when you came into the experiment there were high hopes
01:07:06uh but tonight was very important you know because these are opportunities to learn
01:07:12and this experiment is yes you want to try and get the fairy tale but if you don't
01:07:16it's very important to change the way in which you're operating in relationships
01:07:23and i know it's been difficult at times but we really wish the both of you all the best for
01:07:29what's to come so thank you guys
01:07:43coming up have you dropped i love you yet uh the relationship update we've all been waiting for
01:07:50we actually haven't said that um no time like now um don't leave us hanging i
01:08:11next up on the couch rea and jeff
01:08:20hi well i have to say we are all so happy to see the two of you still together loved
01:08:29up
01:08:31wow yeah
01:08:35how's it all going uh yeah it's going great since we left the experiment i think we've had about
01:08:41one or two days apart from each other wow all the things we love doing in the experiment translated
01:08:48perfectly into the real world we've hung out with our friends and go to the gym together still and
01:08:53lunches and dinners and it's just been really really nice yeah what what do you think is the secret
01:09:00to that because a lot of couples sit on this couch and talk about taking the relationship out of the
01:09:08experiment into the real world and it's really difficult yeah why do you think you found it easy
01:09:15i think because we did what we said we were going to do jeff like never dropped the ball ever
01:09:21in the
01:09:22experiment and then out of the experiment he always does what he says he's going to do and he's very
01:09:27consistent i think we're both very consistent with one another i feel like jeff just makes me calm all the
01:09:36time and yeah i feel like that's why it has been so easy outside of the experiment and in as
01:09:45well yeah
01:09:47well we would all love to sit here right now and watch your journey in this experiment let's do that
01:09:55okay
01:10:07oh my god hi rey hi jeff yeah i know my husband hello
01:10:19well hey guys i've slept together a few times
01:10:27jeff is an amazing person if there was anyone that you could pair me up with that i'd
01:10:32dated in the past jeff's a good pick i put my faith in the experts maybe there's a reason that
01:10:39she was the person that was standing there when i turned around today so it's really the time that
01:10:43got away oh time will tell yeah usually the more i hang out with someone the less likely i am
01:10:52to see
01:10:52a potential relationship but with you the more we are together the more potential i see in us
01:10:59p.s you need to make the first move
01:11:14every day's been better than the last i feel more comfortable by holding rey's hand or giving
01:11:18her a cuddle um giving her a kiss shall we dance
01:11:27i could probably see myself falling for jeff i think so come back oh yes
01:11:36uh we've been intimate

01:13:05it's very rare that people go from a romantic relationship to a friendship then back to a
01:13:10romantic relationship i just didn't think that i would be able to be romantic with jeff again but
