00:00:00With the experiment in its final stages...
00:00:03I really want to thank Mel for her advice to 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 get their relationship back on track.
00:00:15I wrote a stare.
00:00:18And last night saw some continue to celebrate their 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 and 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, obviously.
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?
00:00:58Yeah.
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.
00:01:03Sales man answer.
00:01:08Tonight, 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...
00:01:23Beyond 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.
00:01:47And I'm here to protect her.
00:01:48Stella's outspoken guests from her wedding day are back.
00:01:52So, like, I've...
00:01:54I'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.
00:02:07So 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 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,
00:02:49beyond the experiment.
00:02:52Ready to go?
00:02:53What do you pack?
00:02:54Ready to go to Adelaide.
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 floodies.
00:03:17Yeah.
00:03:17And, oh, there might be a blindfold in the bedroom too.
00:03:20Oh, no babes, not at your parents' house, sorry.
00:03:25This week is also the perfect opportunity for our couples to put into practice all that
00:03:31they've learned from the experiment so far, and apply it to the outside world.
00:03:35As most of our couples are packed and ready to embark on their individual journeys,
00:03:41Philip 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.
00:03:58Yeah.
00:03:58Anything else?
00:03:59Like, toothbrush?
00:04:01Nah.
00:04:01We don't brush teeth out in Cronulla, do we?
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.
00:04:13Since we first got together, we were always talking about it and, you know, kind of spending
00:04:19some time out there, particularly even after the experiment.
00:04:22Yeah.
00:04:22So it feels like it's come around in like two seconds.
00:04:24We obviously work in this experiment, and this is just the further validation that our relationship
00:04:31will work on the outside if 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 going to switcheroo for some beach action.
00:04:42Yeah.
00:04:44Done.
00:04:47Across the hall, however, Gia and Scott are still recovering from last night's tense couch
00:04:53session.
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.
00:05:04And 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 as well.
00:05:12It's just common knowledge.
00:05:12I would never do that.
00:05:13Yeah, no, but that's what I'm saying.
00:05:14I would never do that.
00:05:14From the stuff that's in the experiment, I don't want to see that outside the experiment.
00:05:18Okay.
00:05:18That's all it is.
00:05:19I'm not saying anything bad.
00:05:20It's just what I've seen.
00:05:20Yeah.
00:05:20Just, 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.
00:05:26Okay.
00:05:28I do nursing.
00:05:29Like, I'm a kind person.
00:05:30I'm not saying that you're like that.
00:05:31I'm a kind person.
00:05:31I would never, but 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.
00:05:45He's never.
00:05:46So, yeah, I just felt like it was just unnecessary last night.
00:05:50I was already copying it and 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.
00:06:07He told me that you felt like I threw you under the bus, which I apologise to make you feel
00:06:12that way.
00:06:12It wasn't my intention.
00:06:14Well, yeah, you apologised 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
00:06:32sense.
00:06:33I just want him to know that, like, I can't just get over this in five minutes because
00:06:37I 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, it 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 experience, do you feel like I have been listening to any tough
00:07:02problems?
00:07:02I'm just saying I would like it if you look at it at a different person's point of view
00:07:07and not your own.
00:07:09You know, if I'm going to say anything that I'm struggling in a relationship, it's because
00:07:13I 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.
00:07:31OK.
00:07:32I apologise.
00:07:34It's obviously been a lot.
00:07:36So, I didn't need a grilling last night from my husband on the couch either.
00:07:40OK.
00:07:40Well, I apologise that you feel like I gave you a grilling.
00:07:42I'm just trying to help Gia.
00:07:44Because I care about our relationship.
00:07:46I genuinely care about us.
00:07:48That's why I'm still here.
00:07:53I'm getting frustrated.
00:07:54I 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.
00:08:00Because there's constant pressure.
00:08:02There's constant arguments.
00:08:04OK.
00:08:04Should we go pack, get the hell out of here?
00:08:08Yeah.
00:08:09Cool.
00:08:12We'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.
00:08:26All 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.
00:08:40I'm also excited to like go for a big walk with you and so you can actually see like
00:08:44the surrounds of where I live.
00:08:45During last night's commitment ceremony, Danny made a reluctant revelation about the official
00:08:52status 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.
00:09:24But why was it important to you?
00:09:30Well, because I wanted to be my girlfriend, it's like, you know.
00:09:37Obviously as we know, like I told him I love him and he's not quite there yet, but I just
00:09:43hope that when he sees me in my natural habitat that he's like, you know, everything I've told
00:09:48him about my life he can see and envisage and, you know, maybe gets him that one step closer
00:09:53to loving me too.
00:09:57You will see why I say it's the perfect place to raise kids, because it's, it's pretty,
00:10:03it's safe, you've got a lot of space, you know.
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,
00:10:20which 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
00:10:26say.
00:10:27So, um, not comparing Bec to a gorilla, but yeah, it would be nice to see her in a natural
00:10:33habitat.
00:10:34Should we shoot off?
00:10:35Let's go.
00:10:37Yay!
00:10:37How exciting.
00:10:40Shall we?
00:10:41Shall we?
00:10:42We, we.
00:10:43We shall.
00:10:43We, we.
00:10:44While most of our couples are packed and ready to leave.
00:10:48Let's go.
00:10:49Adelaide, here we come.
00:10:50Adelaide, here we come.
00:10:53One couple is yet to depart, having just woken up in separate apartments after Chris wrote
00:11:00leave at last night's commitment ceremony, leaving Sam blindsided.
00:11:07I've been going back and forth the last couple of days, um, and I've actually decided that
00:11:12I need to and I 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 going
00:11:26to be, he's an amazing guy and he'll be amazing for someone.
00:11:29I just don't think it's me for the moment.
00:11:36It sucks to see him right 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.
00:11:53One person says leave.
00:11:54You're meant to stay for another week and just see.
00:11:56And like going out to Chris's farm.
00:11:59This is something Chris and I have been looking forward to through the whole experiment.
00:12:02So I'm trying to stay open and lean in.
00:12:08There's always a glimmer I 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.
00:12:23But this is part of the experiment.
00:12:24They do hold a mirror up to you and maybe there was some behavioural issues that I was doing
00:12:29that I wasn't aware of.
00:12:31I've realised that I not only came on this experiment to find love in a husband,
00:12:34but, you know, I do want to grow as a person and I've realised that I need to work on
00:12:40a few things on myself.
00:12:43So 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.
00:12:50Have 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.
00:13:06Here we go.
00:13:08Central Coast homestays.
00:13:10Please yell.
00:13:12Our couples are now en route to their respective homestays.
00:13:17We're going to Barney Doo.
00:13:21And while most make a beeline for their destination.
00:13:26Hey, 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?
00:13:40The first to touch down are Gia and Scott,
00:13:43where Melbourne-based Gia already has plans in place
00:13:47to move to the Gold Coast immediately after the experiment.
00:13:51Cute!
00:13:52So we can play tennis at night,
00:13:54or whenever we 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.
00:14:06I'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,
00:14:15my couch, my bedroom, the whole lot.
00:14:18And you can't be angry on the Gold Coast.
00:14:20It's bloody sunny.
00:14:22It's hot.
00:14:23That'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.
00:14:48Okay.
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 have a 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 a pee pad or something like on a rug.
00:15:08It's like, why is it there?
00:15:10Ugh.
00:15:11This is upstairs.
00:15:13So random.
00:15:15You can look at the water when you're in the spa.
00:15:17Okay.
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.
00:15:27I don't know where I was going to put it.
00:15:28It would be better if that wasn't there.
00:15:29Oh my gosh.
00:15:30Weird.
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.
00:15:39He died and the plant.
00:15:41That's not nice.
00:15:42If the roles were reversed and I was at Gia's house,
00:15:44I 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
00:16:01and she's proud of what she's done and what she's made.
00:16:04I wouldn't go, oh, yuck, this is shit, that'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, she'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.
00:16:38Is it your ex or something?
00:16:40Oh, 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?
00:16:57Okay, 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.
00:17:04I just, it doesn't make sense.
00:17:06The math isn't mathing for me.
00:17:12What the hell?
00:17:16What the hell?
00:17:17Are you okay?
00:17:19No, I'm not okay,
00:17:20because I want to know more about that thing in here.
00:17:22Let's go have a look.
00:17:23So, the pillow.
00:17:27It'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
00:17:43that 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.
00:17:54Hmm.
00:17:54Can I put up with this every day of the week?
00:17:57I'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.
00:18:25OK.
00:18:26Hold my hand if you want.
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?
00:18:44Yep.
00:18:44Fishing my fives.
00:18:50Yeah.
00:18:52The last time I was on the boat was definitely well over a decade ago.
00:18:58and I was extremely seasick.
00:19:01We are off.
00:19:04Where'd you get married?
00:19:06Oh my God.
00:19:07Lol.
00:19:09The last time I was on the boat was when I got married.
00:19:15Alrighty.
00:19:15So, tell me Rachel, where's the fish at?
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.
00:19:26Yeah, I'm nervous.
00:19:28So much is falling on homestays
00:19:30because me and Rachel have discussed locations outside the experiment
00:19:34and I've bluntly put it too Rachel,
00:19:36I 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,
00:19:51what's it gonna look like, you know, in the real 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 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
00:20:14or I like you this much.
00:20:15But, I sort of show it in gestures.
00:20:19If you're a passenger princess, I'll even put the bait on for you
00:20:22so you don't have to get your hands all dirty.
00:20:24Taking her out in the boat and showing her my fishing spot.
00:20:27Things.
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 floaty 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.
00:21:02No alcohol in the boat.
00:21:03I'm not driving.
00:21:07Hang on.
00:21:08What, 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, 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!
00:21:48Oh, 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 bit!
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.
00:22:02Yep.
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.
00:22:23Because 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!
00:22:30Yay!
00:22:31There you go.
00:22:33Yay!
00:22:35Giant!
00:22:38Bye, baby.
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 the babysitter.
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.
00:23:03Oh!
00:23:04Oh!
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.
00:23:28Do you know what I mean?
00:23:30For 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,
00:23:43but, like, his closet is big, but I'd have to share that closet with him
00:23:48and it's, like, just all my stuff would be crammed in one, like, shelf
00:23:52in 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.
00:23:57Like, I have two closets for myself and a whole beauty room with shelves
00:24:00of more stuff.
00:24:03We've already discussed it in time that we'll get a house
00:24:06because 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,
00:24:12where 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, I'm proud of it.
00:24:26I've done everything here, I'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.
00:24:37Like, 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
00:24:42or 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.
00:24:50It is a bit scary thinking, 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 Leila.

00:26:04impressive in private and your vows is really what's your vow is this is this
00:26:12that's like a red flag and after expressing these concerns to stella and bridesmaid layla

00:28:51phil got the grill by joe um he 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 i want him to make this decision
00:29:04on
00:29:04his own in his own mind and that's where you know i'm i'm reserving myself from asking hard hard
00:29:13questions so hard questions that came from joe's mouth it's almost like he's asking what i'm feeling
00:29:21yeah so he was doing you know i guess the screening for me
00:29:38so what is the plan are you moving to melbourne are you moving to sydney
00:29:41from the get-go he said that he wouldn't be moving uh i've always been open uh to moving

00:34:29honest and i'm i will not judge you in this current in this current form like right now where we're
00:34:36at

00:34:46what was said by me on the couch when experts asked oh but he's giving you reassurance he's
00:34:51telling you he's telling you that he's going to move to sydney i'm like it is telling it's words
00:34:57it's not actions right what he said today like you know i'm 75 sure and like he's not yet there
00:35:05yeah it's just you're putting yourself on the line again and again and again

00:35:45need to we just need the time aspect to happen i don't want to say something that i don't feel
00:35:50which
00:35:50would be disingenuous to stella if i was 100 out of 100 i'd be literally moving in all my stuff
00:35:57already
00:35:57you know that's that's where i think we're at a lot of things you were saying before that stella's
00:36:03given up heaps to be here yeah i would argue that i've given up a lot and i'm willing to
00:36:08give up more
00:36:09to make this happen moving forward like past post experiment i just need to be sure do you know i'm
00:36:16saying like i need you to like as much as i'm showing up for you i need you to show
00:36:22up for me
00:36:23you got to give me the reassurance as much as i am like i'm happy to be a rock like

00:38:27do you think stephen is affectionate enough
00:38:39obviously i mentioned the affection last time we met yeah has improved a lot i'm a very affectionate
00:38:47person but now i've noticed his handle come wandering for mine yeah you know he'll come to
00:38:54me for a hug and all these little things it's nice as far as the experiment goes yeah we've had
00:38:59our highs
00:39:00and lows and our highs are a lot higher than our lows so it's it's going in the right direction
00:39:06i think you've come a long way since family stay whatever it's called yeah look at this
00:39:12rachel's the same oh my gosh that's right it feels really natural welcoming rachel and stephen
00:39:22as a mom seeing stephen in our relationship i feel fantastic because that's what i've always wanted
00:39:28for him we're great inside the experiment sort of where our focus is sort of heading towards now is
00:39:35outside the experiment okay different states so what are we thinking do you want to tell the plan
00:39:42i've got the plan we're thinking sydney i've got the plan tell us the plan you steve let steve tell
00:39:47me
00:39:47the plan go on steve because i want to hear you your plan so to start with we're sort of
00:39:54going to just
00:39:55do long distance we're going to give it a timeline of roughly around six months um and see where we
00:40:01go
00:40:01from there yeah so i need six more months with the love of my life which is melbourne you know
00:40:07i built
00:40:07that life for myself i made all my friends built my career everything in melbourne yeah i get that i
00:40:15know that it's going to come from me because steven's business isn't as flexible yeah and at the end of
00:40:21the day like i want this to work and i want our relationship to like grow and go forward so
00:40:26that's
00:40:27fine that's all good but at the moment it looks like rage pushes the relationship along i don't
00:40:35want steven to feel like well i'm going to sacrifice everything that i've worked for everything
00:40:39that i've built i felt like steven never really said oh i'm going to sacrifice anything does that
00:40:47make you feel steve she's basically saying she's going to move her whole life
00:40:55makes me feel lucky and you know very happy about it you know and um this feels amazing but
00:41:03also at the same time it actually sort of makes me feel a little bit bad that i'm having compromised
00:41:08that much as well i feel like the butthole in the relationship i'm like yeah i'm just going to chill
00:41:14here in sydney and rachel's going to come to me yeah it's a massive it's a massive thing you don't
00:41:20put
00:41:20too much pressure on each other six months transition time steven might realize oh maybe
00:41:26i'll give melbourne a go and i've never said never he's never said never i've never said never yeah
00:41:31i get that but look i'm really happy for you guys so to be honest cheers and all this
00:41:40family dinner with rachel and steven was great we just got to learn a lot which which for us as
00:41:46a
00:41:46family was very reassuring that things are heading in the right direction they complement each other
00:41:50they bring different things to the table and i definitely think rachel's had a positive effect
00:41:56on steven's life
00:42:08excited yeah on the gold coast jia and scott are spending the day on the water
00:42:15nice photo yeah it's nice nice joining them today are scott's best friends matt
00:42:22page jackson and bianca i'm feeling nervous last time with matt and page's family friends
00:42:31at the apartment matt put his foot in his mouth and was saying some things it was just a bit
00:42:36you know disrespectful inappropriate is jia a better version of your ex
00:42:44don't compare me to his ex-girlfriend if you want to be controversial i'll give it back because
00:42:49that's what i'm like i don't think you can compare because i would never start an only fans
00:42:56good to see you right i mean the last commitment ceremony alessandra did say
00:43:02how do you think it's going to go jia with your friends in real life do you think she's gonna
00:43:06maybe have drama because obviously i have in the experiment
00:43:11so yeah i mean i'm probably going to prove myself today cheers to the good life and jay and scotty
00:43:17yeah like i hope everyone's on their best behavior today
00:43:22i reckon we'll hit the water go for a cruise done cool
00:43:48i'm not quite sure if they're the right fit i want to see where they're at that for the past
00:43:55week
00:43:56scotty went a bit quiet on me so i know something's up yeah
00:44:01have you uh anyone dropped the l word yet not yet yeah i've had arguments over it to be honest
00:44:09oh like you love me first no it's like it's just waiting for me to say it
00:44:14but i don't want to feel like i need to say it just to yeah make you feel comfortable you
00:44:20know
00:44:20and you want it to be real you don't want it to be forged yeah it's so what's the what's
00:44:25the next
00:44:26step plug you know oh 100 moving yeah like so i'm going to come with him to the gold coast
00:44:33like bring all our stuff soon as we leave look for a place and then move
00:44:38yeah we started looking at um like bigger places because obviously like yeah i need more a bigger home
00:44:44in other words she's saying scott's place is you know you need you need it's good for it's good for
00:44:48one man like as soon as the experiment ends she's going to move to queensland
00:44:56you shouldn't just rush things too quickly they haven't even told each other that they love each
00:45:01other yet i feel like they should be knocking that off before they make you know the big move in
00:45:09together but it's just more for us now the timing yeah i want to go back a few times and
00:45:14then look
00:45:15at places and decide like what date we move but she wants to do before the end of the year
00:45:21it felt like a lot of pressure no she'll go somewhere like because her daughter needs to
00:45:26be enrolled to a school yeah well she's going on school holidays yeah we'll have the time to like
00:45:31move and get a new school organized and all that yeah yeah i felt the pressure and i'm not even
00:45:37in
00:45:37the relationship i said like i wanted to have like one or two more kids um like have a big
00:45:44house have
00:45:44this certain car like he might be happy discussing it all but i think behind the scenes and when we
00:45:49question him one-on-one about this this is when we really we'll get in the true colors yeah yeah
00:45:55so
00:46:00next i i feel like i see you being pressured i wasn't seeing a hundred percent real out there
00:46:15well how much longer does it go for three weeks i think on the gold coast gia is getting to
00:46:21know
00:46:21scott's childhood friend jackson and partner bianca after that we we like separate and we
00:46:27deliberate our decision if we're gonna like stay together outside downstairs scott is debriefing with
00:46:33matt and paige all right scotty so being your friend knowing you so well i i feel like i see
00:46:43you being pressured i feel like i wasn't seeing 100 real out there well this is the thing when we
00:46:51have
00:46:51our really good moments that makes me feel like i'm falling in love with her but then when we have
00:47:00tough situations or arguments that pulls me back there was nothing in my house but there was a pink
00:47:06neck pillow yeah travel pillow yeah what's that who's that from it's pretty much saying like who's
00:47:13this from like there's another girl that's given it to me has any other girl worn it around their neck
00:47:17no
00:47:21little things like that makes me feel like she doesn't trust me it's all these little hurdles like
00:47:26it's just a pillow at the end of the day and if that's a little small subject that could affect
00:47:30someone what else out there could trigger her so right now i feel so much for her because we're so
00:47:35good and strong but then as soon as we hit a bump like that it retracts me i can't i
00:47:41just this is what's
00:47:42so bad about me i i things happen probably once a week and i'm like i forget about it some
00:47:47of the
00:47:47behavior throughout this experiment the drama the fighting i don't like that stuff yeah did she get
00:47:53a little bit into it oh 100 don't gaslight me watch your mouth girl i'm not what's your mouth i'm
00:48:00being
00:48:00honest don't lie about me be accountable absolutely not you're not going to gaslight a woman right now
00:48:07you know what you said why the hell would i make you stop i'm talking because you're a mean girl
00:48:14and
00:48:15all you do is go around and talk to you about every picture i showed screenshots to a girlfriend sue
00:48:25me like
00:48:30so elizabeth said something along the lines of you know scott do you think this is something you
00:48:33could put up with outside the experiment i said no i wouldn't tolerate it which is true because
00:48:37she has been in a lot of drama can i put up with this outside the experiment yeah is she
00:48:43like this
00:48:44outside the experiment i don't know where i'm like like is this normal yeah i don't i get so confused
00:48:53because 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
00:49:05scotty doesn't get involved in that kind of drama he doesn't you know his life is just so
00:49:10he's a crazy guy you i feel like you're in two minds when it's good you're very happy but then
00:49:16when it's bad like that is something that you would run away from in the real world
00:49:22that's my concern that's why i don't understand why you need to rush when you get out because i don't
00:49:27want to rush yeah she wants to move within the month and i don't want to do that but i'm
00:49:34trying
00:49:34to make her feel secure like because if i say to her i want longer she thinks i'm leading her
00:49:37on but
00:49:38i'm not yeah what i heard out there is that she thinks that she's moving up four bedroom house it's
00:49:43cool key to you need to be more honest with yourself i can see it out there i see you
00:49:48being pressured
00:49:49if this is everything right now do i think they would work outside the experiment no because i know
00:49:56scotty so well to know that he would go running for the hills
00:50:02jay is giving excuses that the experiment is what's setting her off all the time and once we're in our
00:50:09four bedroom house and everything's all running perfect it's all going to be happy ending but i still
00:50:14think there'll be external triggers that they'll have to navigate like so you're scared to say hey
00:50:20i don't want to move so quickly like are you scared about her reaction pretty much
00:50:26and that's when i feel like i want eggshells
00:50:29like you need to be able to voice your concerns how is a relationship going to work on the outside
00:50:33if
00:50:33you're in an experiment right now and you can't even voice how you feel
00:50:38you know i have these doubts and concerns and like right now i can't be 100
00:50:41percent certain there's a lot of things i want to talk about with her privately
00:50:46i just wanted to be able to talk about anything not feel uncomfortable
00:50:51and not gf feel like it's going to be an argument it's just a lot for me to process
00:50:59like moving forward what do you guys think i should personally do
00:51:04page i just you're up there telling me that you guys great but then down here you're saying well
00:51:08actually like you know once a week i'm having issues to be honest don't worry about working on
00:51:14eggshells there's so many things i need to address just overlook our relationship in general and our
00:51:22behaviors how we interact how we communicate there's so many things we need to get through
00:51:28before i can make a final decision because i'm not 100 there yet i feel like you you do have
00:51:34feelings
00:51:34and there are good times and you do feel like you're falling but then there's the other side and
00:51:40i i don't know i just feel like yeah you're turning a blind eye to everything else right now
00:51:53as the sun sets on another day of homestays i'm happier than ever having a girl in your house feels
00:52:00quite juicy juicy our couples are settling in for the night
00:52:15and on the central coast of new south wales rachel and stephen tuck into bed
00:52:21you've got a sleepy face sleepy face you've got a sleepy face but not before saying good night
00:52:26let's call it a night shall we yeah let's get some sleep all right to mum i'm going to bed
00:52:33i hope you enjoyed dinner so have a good night and we'll see you tomorrow morning thanks have a good
00:52:49good night i know this is a lot smaller than what we used to back close quarters around here what's
00:52:57that touching me
00:53:06with homestays drawing to a close it's been a whirlwind of emotions stella and philip are heading to lunch
00:53:14after some difficult conversations yesterday where philip expressed his 75 assurance in the relationship
00:53:23joe asked out of 100 how do you feel philip said 75 i said 100 and like for me i
00:53:32really need to stop my
00:53:33brain going into the overdrive i really do but it doesn't feel resolved if that makes sense like yeah yeah
00:53:47um joe asked obviously you know a very hard question you know where out of 100 how certain
00:53:55you feel and you know i said yes i do see future i'm very thankful for joe that he asked
00:54:01that question
00:54:02because i wouldn't have never dared to ask it directly like that so these are the you know the difficult
00:54:10parts not having certainty certainty yeah it's not a rejection no of course yeah it definitely wasn't
00:54:22a rejection i'm feeling it as much as you are there's a few moving parts that's all it is
00:54:31the the big ticket items are good like we love each other like we've got good respect like
00:54:36there's good potential for a future you know so 100 committed right 75 sure how it's all going to
00:54:45work the nuts and bolts stella's definitely the right person for me i just hate it when i don't have
00:54:52anything sorted how it's going to work and all that kind of stuff that's yet to be sorted like
00:54:57got everything that i want in a partner i'm just a realist here and i just think through
00:55:05logistics and stuff like that there's there's obviously uh living arrangements how we're gonna
00:55:10go moving forward um how i'm going to be working here uh what i'll do for work in the meantime
00:55:15all
00:55:16that kind of stuff that's kind of that was my all-round out of 100. you've always told me like
00:55:21don't come here to sydney for me and i'm just like well deal with it
00:55:29i'm i'm open to moving now yes i can't see myself here she told me that she's already
00:55:35100 out of 100 like in this like ready to go so like she's ready to go so now it's
00:55:41just kind of
00:55:41i need to sort my shit out you as a person yeah it's like pretty much flawless
00:55:50oh i almost cried i got what i needed and i got my reassurances just let me lead sometimes just
00:55:59let
00:55:59me lead you know like i needed for him to put the plans in motion what he's going to do
00:56:05after the
00:56:06experiment this is this is it like he's showing up for me over and over again and it's a successful
00:56:15end of the homestays yeah i can cry now we are coming out stronger than we came in
00:56:28coming up well do you even trust me scott finds his voice okay so but do you put yourself in
00:56:36my shoes
00:56:38i feel like sometimes i'm walking with eggshells i feel like you might get defensive and then
00:56:43i mean like i'm no no what i'm saying is like i don't know you want to argue today
00:56:52what's happening you know obviously i'm here on a visa yeah i went to go renew my visa
00:56:57and my passport had expired
00:57:01my head scrambled it's a sad day it looks like i'm gonna have to leave australia for good
00:57:08i'm gonna have to leave you in the house yeah i'm shitting it like i'm i'm actually shitting my
00:57:14pants i need that passport then to reapply for the visa there's been a few hiccups in the road
00:57:19oh what do you mean frantically on the phone to like the passport office they're like yeah sorry
00:57:22mate there's nothing we can do you have to get it from england what's the what's worst case scenario
00:57:26it's getting sent over in the mail if it doesn't get here next week i'm out of it next week
00:57:30next week
00:57:31like if i stay and it doesn't come in time 20 grand fine booted out the country and then banned
00:57:38from australia for three years fingers crossed my passport gets here so it says estimated in five
00:57:44days time passport express express delivery but like if anything gets held up i spent two years
00:57:51building my dream life for it to be stripped away like this
00:57:55no it's not good i'm shitting it and now to the right what about your chick have you told her
00:58:03what's going on yet or i've been in many sticky situations but i've got to say this is the
00:58:10stickiest i've been taking my time with berlin taking it like slow and steady but it looks like
00:58:17i'm gonna have to leave australia i don't want my first kiss to be a goodbye at the airport i've
00:58:21got to
00:58:22nail it okay i've got to speed this thing up i literally just got things rolling we've been
00:58:26on like two or three dates going so well like finally getting some good connection with someone
00:58:30in the east i had to come by that and that yeah mate like couldn't be better suited and now
00:58:35it's going to be stripped away how many dates has it been there any uh any cheeky behavior
00:58:40yeah i've held her hand yeah real baby steps you know like no smooching no tomfoolery no shenanigans
00:58:47but just like uh usually take it this slow or what's that never you know i'm usually never
00:58:52it would be a struggle if i had to leave like i don't see how it's gonna work yeah
00:58:56100 long distance ain't a ain't an easy feat no i mean like if if you do go are you
00:59:02all going to
00:59:03give uh berlin a call talk about kicking a man when he's down i'm there pouring my heart out to
00:59:14this guy and he goes oh yeah go on give me berlin's number hold on my man you ain't focusing
00:59:20on the
00:59:20right thing like what's going on on the central coast of new south wales for stephen homestays has
00:59:36helped him envision a future with rachel outside the experiment and has decided to take her on a
00:59:44special date to share exactly how he feels yeah that's good stuff so good so i thought i would uh
00:59:53bring out rachel to the local venue and would have a little bit of a lunch a bit of a
00:59:58drink and maybe
00:59:59verbalize my emotions towards rachel a little bit more cheers oh ding it's pretty hard to speak about
01:00:08my feelings hard for me to be vulnerable it's it stresses me out i do adore rachel i do want
01:00:16her to
01:00:16know that can you believe it last day of homestays it goes quicker it really does it really does it's
01:00:24even crazier that you know it only felt like yesterday that we were getting married on that boat
01:00:30literally felt like the floor was moving and turned around and i met you for the first time
01:00:37under the word i like you i've got so many reasons why i like rachel so today is a day
01:00:42to express
01:00:43those feelings to her i may not spell it out for you in verbally but just seeing you yesterday on
01:00:52the
01:00:52boat having a go casting the rod for me what i see is a wife outside the experiment thank you
01:01:02and i'm
01:01:02really happy how home stays went and speaking about feelings i like where this relationship
01:01:09is going and i like you and if a kid's gone in the right direction can see myself falling in
01:01:16love with
01:01:17you one day um me being vulnerable here so i'm feeling so good
01:01:33what better than to have your man tell you that he likes you a couple of times
01:01:37he's reassuring you about where his feelings are it was beautiful the way that we interact the way that
01:01:45we are together now versus the start line so different but i really appreciate you verbalizing
01:01:55and reassuring me that you know like yeah maybe we are a little bit more on par than what i
01:02:01think
01:02:02makes me really happy and i've got to stress that one to you and i sort of need to reassure
01:02:08that and
01:02:08spell it out for you i do like you and i have caught up in my feelings for you please
01:02:20this is amazing like i just it really reaffirms that i'm not out here by myself like the feelings
01:02:27are real the feelings are neutral
01:02:32we're leaving here stronger it is making me really excited about moving to sydney and being a part of
01:02:39this life and that's exactly where i wanted steven and i to be home says it's been great she's big
01:02:49she is
01:03:04so last night of homestays do you think it was successful did you think it would go this way or
01:03:10be surprised um armed with feedback from his friends scott wants to address his concerns with
01:03:19gia about life together after the experiment i need to be a hundred percent certain before final
01:03:27vowels and i feel like i want to be able to communicate a hundred percent be open with my
01:03:32feelings without feeling like i'm on eggshells i mean there's a couple little things i think we still
01:03:37need to address and for me to think about within this experiment and outside this experiment for us
01:03:42to be 100 well like yeah just obviously we had a rough week and stuff so i didn't know how
01:03:49it was
01:03:50going to go i didn't know if you didn't want to be here but like okay we all have our
01:03:55moments we're
01:03:56human beings like i just want you to like get that that's all well sometimes it is difficult to have
01:04:03conversations with gia because i think sometimes gia can still repel and get defensive when i'm just
01:04:11trying to talk about a subject my biggest question to you like i know we like trust me but sometimes
01:04:17i
01:04:17feel like do you like fully 100 trust me with what in what way every way
01:04:30but i don't understand like do you trust me like we do trust my words do you trust me as
01:04:35a person
01:04:36do you trust me 100 say for example say the neck pillow when i get the response of like whose
01:04:45is that
01:04:47the way you ask that it's like well do you even trust me
01:04:51okay but do you put yourself in my shoes and see how it may look from an outsider coming into
01:04:56your home when you said you've not had a woman in your house for years in this house ever and
01:05:00then
01:05:00i see a woman thing do you see how from my point of view how it could look yeah i
01:05:06know but like i don't
01:05:08know just like it's not like oh my god i went looking but it was just there when i turned
01:05:14the corner
01:05:14in the closet it's not like i opened it was like oh my god what's in his house from my
01:05:19point of view
01:05:19like it looked a certain way i feel like sometimes i'm walking on eggshells because i feel like if i
01:05:29want to bring up something i feel like you might misinterpret it the wrong way get defensive and then
01:05:35do you know what i mean like i'm no no what i'm saying is like i didn't know you wanted
01:05:38to argue
