00:00:00It's with great sadness and heavy heart that today the Maffs family lost a colleague and a dear friend, Mel
00:00:09Schilling.
00:00:10She was someone that could light up a room.
00:00:13She was full of joy, had a huge smile.
00:00:16And whenever she was on set, everyone lifted.
00:00:21She brought fun and joy, humour.
00:00:24But she also brought an authenticity, which we all loved to be around.
00:00:32It was such a delight to watch her shine.
00:00:37She was a fighter.
00:00:39She was a leader.
00:00:40She was an inspiration.
00:00:42Never complained, just rolled her sleeves up and got on with things.
00:00:47Someone that has meant so much to all of us.
00:00:50And it's not fair.
00:00:53Married at first sight won't be the same without her.
00:00:58I would like to send all thoughts and prayers to Gareth, her husband and Maddie, her wonderful daughter.
00:01:07And also, take a moment now and remember, Mel, we love you.
00:01:47I've got everything that I want in an apartment.
00:01:49But I've got my reassurances.
00:01:51We are coming out stronger.
00:01:53Stephen stepped up, giving Rachel reassurance for their future.
00:01:57What I see is a wife outside the experiment.
00:02:03After a tense few days on the farm, Sam and Chris made a shock decision.
00:02:09I can't see this working.
00:02:11It's all good.
00:02:11It is what it is.
00:02:12It's not how I envisioned it would end.
00:02:15I really thought Chris would fight for me a bit.
00:02:19You want to have a family.
00:02:20You don't want to keep putting it off.
00:02:23Following advice from her mother, Alyssa began to spiral.
00:02:27Just getting very overwhelmed with what I have at stake here and what I could potentially be walking away from.
00:02:33Leaving David disheartened.
00:02:35The way Alyssa is handling the situation, it is making me uneasy.
00:02:40Tonight.
00:02:41Throughout this experiment, I have been patient.
00:02:43But when you're dealing with the mom, the family, friends, they all said that I'm a great guy for her.
00:02:49And she still sees negatives.
00:02:51There's nothing else I can do.
00:02:53Has David reached his limit?
00:02:55That's the first time I've ever heard you say that you need space.
00:02:58You never say space.
00:03:01It's the second last dinner party of the experiment.
00:03:05I can see we can do life together.
00:03:07But I feel a lot more confident now that we can take this out onto the outside.
00:03:11Have Rachel and Stephen become this year's new power couple?
00:03:15Who would have thought?
00:03:17Who would have thought?
00:03:18The person that he has these feelings for was quite aggressive to him.
00:03:23But babe, you've been aggressive too at the dinner parties.
00:03:25Tensions rise when Sam and Chris air their concerns.
00:03:28You're in no position to be giving someone feedback about their behavior, honey.
00:03:32And I've never been aggressive to you.
00:03:35And then.
00:03:37I think like for me, as a man, I feel like.
00:03:40Oh God.
00:03:42Oh my God.
00:03:43What are you on about?
00:03:45It's the shock debate that will divide the table.
00:03:49That was not what I was getting at.
00:03:51Are we serious for this?
00:04:07Our couples have returned from their homestay.
00:04:10And our brides and grooms are enjoying a new sense of closeness.
00:04:15After stepping into the life that could be waiting for them outside the experiment.
00:04:20Hi.
00:04:22Hey.
00:04:22Bonjour.
00:04:23Bonjour.
00:04:25Recharged and hopeful, the couples now turn their attention to the second last dinner party
00:04:30of the experiment.
00:04:31Eager to reconnect after time apart.
00:04:35Are you excited?
00:04:36I am excited because it's been a very long time since we caught up with everyone.
00:04:43We don't know what the hell is going on.
00:04:46It's going to be exciting.
00:04:47A lot of gossip.
00:04:49This is, this is, I'll be straight up with you.
00:04:50This is the most anticipated dinner party I'm looking forward to.
00:04:54Yeah.
00:04:55Really?
00:04:55How come?
00:04:56We went through.
00:04:57The ups and downs.
00:04:58We went through the ups and downs.
00:04:59The trenches.
00:05:00But coming out at the end of it, good.
00:05:02Yeah.
00:05:02You know, everything's, everything is exactly where it needs to be.
00:05:06For Rachel and Stephen, homestays sparked a breakthrough in their marriage, unlocking
00:05:11a new confidence in their relationship.
00:05:14Hello, hello.
00:05:15Hello, sexy.
00:05:17Looking good.
00:05:17I appreciate that.
00:05:18I like the red.
00:05:19Right now, we've just come off the back of homestays and it was amazing.
00:05:23Something definitely clicked for Stephen and I.
00:05:26It was that this could work.
00:05:28I think that's really what it is.
00:05:30I'm ready to, like, load up the boat again and get straight back up to the central coast
00:05:34and just, you know, start hanging out.
00:05:37And yeah, so it was really good.
00:05:40We had such, it was such a great homestay and I'm actually just really excited to share
00:05:45that with everyone.
00:05:46And that's it.
00:05:47And I'm glad you had a good time and you could see, you know, a little bit of my lifestyle.
00:05:53After homestays, it's given me confidence.
00:05:55I feel a little bit better outside the experiment now.
00:05:59Like I said to Rachel, can I see myself falling in love with you?
00:06:03Yes, I can.
00:06:04And I mean that.
00:06:06And homestays really gave me confidence in that.
00:06:09I think we're really lucky.
00:06:12You know, other couples may not have had a good homestay, so we're really lucky to have
00:06:16had the good experience that we did.
00:06:19While homestays brought some closer...
00:06:23..for Scott, welcoming Gia into his home presented new challenges.
00:06:28What's that?
00:06:29It's a neck brace.
00:06:31Why is it pink?
00:06:32Why is it pink?
00:06:33Why not?
00:06:35You're trying to find a problem.
00:06:36Is it your ex or something?
00:06:38Do you trust me?
00:06:39Like, do you trust my words?
00:06:40Do you trust me as a person?
00:06:41Yeah, I trust you.
00:06:43Yeah, why?
00:06:45I feel like sometimes I'm walking on eggshells because I feel like if I want to bring up
00:06:49something, I feel like you might misinterpret it the wrong way.
00:06:52I know I trust you, but can I commit to moving and everything if you never feel like, you know,
00:06:58that you love me?
00:06:59But back at the apartments, eternal optimist Scott is determined to hit reset and look on the bright side.
00:07:06I feel great.
00:07:08I just feel good walking into this dinner party, being able to share, like, good moments that we've had.
00:07:13I feel like it'll be good.
00:07:14Like, I feel like tonight's going to be a really good, positive night to share what we've done for Homestays.
00:07:20Yeah.
00:07:21At the end of Homestays, we had a bit of a discussion, but we hashed it out.
00:07:27Today, we're going to the dinner party with positive attitude.
00:07:30We're great.
00:07:30We're in a really good place.
00:07:31I want to keep it like that.
00:07:34Yeah, I mean, I'm pretty happy with where we're at.
00:07:39Coming to the end now.
00:07:40This is the last or second last one.
00:07:41Mm.
00:07:42So, yeah.
00:07:44Do you think it would cause problems if you, you know, raised some concerns?
00:07:49Oh.
00:07:54Pretty much.
00:07:55Let's just do it.
00:07:56Get it done.
00:07:58I'm excited.
00:07:59You look good.
00:07:59We feel good.
00:08:00And I'm ready to walk into a nice dinner party.
00:08:04Yep.
00:08:04Me too.
00:08:07For Bec and Danny, what began as a promising homestay took a dramatic turn.
00:08:14If my family felt the need to have hard conversations with you, they would.
00:08:19I think, obviously, because Danielle fancied me, she didn't want to, like...
00:08:27I'm joking.
00:08:28I'm joking.
00:08:29It's like a serious moment.
00:08:33These moments make me feel like shit.
00:08:36It's serious for me.
00:08:37You should be able to say something nice and be genuine about it and then not say, oh,
00:08:41your cousin wants to f*** me.
00:08:43Like...
00:08:44I never said that.
00:08:45Yeah.
00:08:46I'm done.
00:08:46F*** me.
00:08:48F*** me.
00:08:49F*** me.
00:08:51F*** me.
00:08:52And now, back at the apartment, an even bigger shock awaits.
00:09:00So, since we got back to Sydney from homestays, things are great.
00:09:06Like...
00:09:06Cheers, baby.
00:09:07Cheers, girl.
00:09:08The last night, like, since we've been back, like, there's not really any need to talk about it.
00:09:12Like, he made a joke.
00:09:14It frustrated me.
00:09:16He got frustrated with me.
00:09:18And then we wake up the next morning, we give each other a cuddle, we have a shag, and we
00:09:22move on.
00:09:23Cheers.
00:09:24It's all blown over.
00:09:25Like...
00:09:27Shocking.
00:09:28Oh, stop it!
00:09:29Ha, ha, ha, ha!
00:09:31For most couples, homestays brought them together.
00:09:35But for one couple, it marked the end of the road.
00:09:39Going to the dinner party tonight, yeah, I'm going alone.
00:09:43And obviously, Chris and I left each other at homestays.
00:09:46I wrote some questions down, and maybe we could just be, like, really raw and honest with each other about
00:09:52all the answers.
00:09:55First question is, do you accept full responsibility for your defensiveness and the aggression I felt from you last week?
00:10:04Yeah.
00:10:06You don't have to agree.
00:10:07Yeah, no, I agree.
00:10:08Yeah.
00:10:09I just feel like we've just, I've already suffered enough from this.
00:10:12I honestly felt like I was, um, 15, getting in trouble by a teacher or something.
00:10:16Do you have feelings for me?
00:10:19Um, okay, um, in the beginning, uh, yes.
00:10:27But I just think, um, yeah, we also have some, um, differences as well.
00:10:32And I just want to put my dad hat on and, like, live my best life.
00:10:38Homestays was my last plea to see if he was going to fight for me at all.
00:10:43But Chris just kind of gave up.
00:10:47So, I did break up with Chris on the farm, but I'm going to the dinner party because I want
00:10:53that last chance to sort of just, like, find out why Chris actually didn't want this relationship.
00:11:01I just want clarity on what the hell happened.
00:11:05But Sam isn't the only one struggling with the fallout of their homestay.
00:11:10During their trip to Adelaide, Alyssa received a wake-up call.
00:11:14Obviously, I want to settle down in Adelaide, but what are your thoughts about me moving to Sydney just for
00:11:20a couple of years?
00:11:22I would hate that.
00:11:26Um, you know, you want to have a family, and you don't want to keep putting it off.
00:11:33People sometimes take ten years to fall pregnant.
00:11:36That's the truth.
00:11:37Yeah, I know, but, well, I don't know that yet.
00:11:38I've never tried.
00:11:39That's right.
00:11:40But you don't know that.
00:11:42A couple of years?
00:11:44A couple of years.
00:11:45I don't think you've got a couple of years to wait.
00:11:49It's really stressful now.
00:11:51I'm a lot on the line.
00:11:52And after a confronting conversation with her mum, Alyssa unravelled, and David was left wondering where he fits.
00:12:00I will be honest with you, I started to spiral.
00:12:06Like, I want to have a family in the next few years.
00:12:10Don't want to miss out on being a mum, and if we're going to make this thing work, David might
00:12:15have to move to Adelaide.
00:12:16Alyssa, I'm really sorry, babe, I have to ask this to you.
00:12:20You've sat here and you've talked a lot about what your wants and needs are.
00:12:27What about, yeah, David?
00:12:30Now back at the apartments, David has had a wake-up call of his own.
00:12:38Oh, man, I'm feeling at my limit post-homestays.
00:12:46Can I see myself living in Adelaide?
00:12:49Absolutely.
00:12:50But, you know, after having, you know, come back to Sydney and having time to just come down from the
00:12:56high of homestays, I am feeling a bit low.
00:12:59And that is because there were a couple of things that have still, like, trinkled in the back of my
00:13:05mind.
00:13:06Could you see yourself living here?
00:13:10To be honest, yeah.
00:13:13I know that you're willing to move here, which is great, but I don't know, I feel like I'm getting
00:13:19overwhelmed with it because you're, like, literally...
00:13:22Is you overwhelmed?
00:13:23I am, I am, I am, because it's, like, a lot.
00:13:27David actually is everything that you've asked for.
00:13:30I know.
00:13:30Right now, this is too good to be true.
00:13:32Like, and that is also another reason why I'm scared, too.
00:13:36Throughout this experiment, I have been patient because I know there is something in this relationship to fight for.
00:13:43But when you get to that point where, like, you're dealing with, like, the mum, the family, friends, they all
00:13:50said that I'm a great guy for her.
00:13:52And she still sees negatives.
00:13:54There's nothing else I can do.
00:13:57I've hit my limit, and I'm not going to push any further.
00:14:01It's getting very real that I could potentially be putting everything on the line for someone who doesn't want to
00:14:08meet me halfway.
00:14:10So, today, I know I need to be honest.
00:14:13For me, I think it's important to just express how I feel.
00:14:17Looking handsome.
00:14:18Thanks, babe.
00:14:19Lovely.
00:14:19You're looking gorgeous.
00:14:20I love the dress.
00:14:21Well, we're kind of almost matching.
00:14:25How are you feeling going to the dinner party after homestays?
00:14:31Homestays was a massive, massive week.
00:14:35So, I'm at the point where, like I said, you know, I'm happy to give all the space you need.
00:14:42I'll take the space I need, because I definitely need space.
00:14:46Yeah, like I feel like I've just gone and put it all on the line.
00:14:50And, you know, at the end of the day, I'm not going to force anything.
00:14:55That's the first time I've ever heard you say that you need space.
00:14:59I know, but I do.
00:15:00You never say space.
00:15:01You're always like, you're more like, let's, like, whatever.
00:15:04This is the first time you've ever said space.
00:15:06Yeah, I know.
00:15:08That kind of, like, rattled me a little bit.
00:15:11Normally, I'm the one that needs space.
00:15:12So, you know what?
00:15:14If he needs space, gladly, because I need space right now, just from my head, and I don't need any
00:15:20of this pressure right now.
00:15:21I feel like I'm at my tether.
00:15:23I feel like he's at his tether.
00:15:24We're both tired.
00:15:26And he's been snoring louder than usual, like it's just been a bit of an emotional rollercoaster.
00:15:32The reason I need space is because, yeah, I am a calm person, but I'm getting to my limit where
00:15:37I just need to take some space for my own brain.
00:15:40Because I feel like I put my cards on the table, but it almost felt like you were just looking
00:15:46for the negatives.
00:15:46And when someone's looking for the negatives too much of why things can't work, like, I'm not going to force
00:15:51that.
00:15:52I'm not going to force a connection if it's just me looking for the positives and someone else is looking
00:15:56for anything to be like, why this can't work.
00:16:01I would be lying to you if I said I wasn't questioning things right now and questioning our relationship.
00:16:08I am in that headspace.
00:16:11So, I'm not going into the dinner party with Alyssa feeling my best self.
00:16:16I'm sure you're in a similar boat.
00:16:18Babe, I'm just as tired as you.
00:16:20Yeah, exactly.
00:16:21I'm just as tired as you.
00:16:22Exactly, yeah.
00:16:23I'm just as tired as you.
00:16:26I get it.
00:16:35It'll be the honour of getting up.
00:16:37Let's get out of here.
00:16:37Yep, let's go.
00:16:42Up to you.
00:16:43Up to me, thanks.
00:16:45Up to the gallows we go.
00:16:50I don't want to do this.
00:16:53I don't want to do this.
00:17:05Well, dinner party number seven, the second last one before we wind this all up.
00:17:12And it is a very important one because they've come back from the homestays.
00:17:17As they start to get a glimpse of what their life will be like with this person in the real
00:17:22world.
00:17:24This is a really crucial part of the experiment for them because some of them will bond closer together through
00:17:30the homestays.
00:17:31I think it's going to be really good.
00:17:34What about you?
00:17:35Are you excited?
00:17:35I'm excited.
00:17:36Whereas others will start to really fall apart and question their overall compatibility with their matches.
00:17:45It's noisy.
00:17:47They'll hear that in the mics.
00:17:49They'll hear that.
00:17:49And you do that all the time.
00:17:50You don't even realise.
00:17:56Well, the homestays throws up the ultimate question.
00:17:59Could this relationship last in the outside world?
00:18:03We're going to see you tonight.
00:18:09Oh, first in.
00:18:12First one's in.
00:18:15Rachel and Steve-o.
00:18:16No one to talk to you, but ourselves.
00:18:19Are you sick of talking to me yet?
00:18:22Straight to the bar.
00:18:23Straight to the bar, babes.
00:18:24I don't think I've seen Stephen look so relaxed and so really walking in with Rachel.
00:18:31Yes.
00:18:31As he is tonight.
00:18:32Very unified.
00:18:34Tell me when.
00:18:35That's good.
00:18:36Oh, my gosh.
00:18:38Thank you so much.
00:18:39Gotta look after you.
00:18:40Oh, I appreciate it.
00:18:43Me and Rachel, we're good.
00:18:44We've walked into the cocktail party.
00:18:46We're first in there.
00:18:46We're pouring drinks.
00:18:47We're cracking jokes.
00:18:48I'll just take this with me.
00:18:50Oh, you're going to take that?
00:18:50Okay.
00:18:52It's probably the most relaxed I've ever been in a cocktail party.
00:18:54We're in a good place.
00:18:57Do you want me to...
00:19:00Do you want me to open it?
00:19:01Is there a good opener?
00:19:04Got it?
00:19:05There you go.
00:19:05We're both so keen to get out of this experiment.
00:19:09See where life takes us.
00:19:11Especially after the homestays.
00:19:13Alrighty.
00:19:14Oh, my gosh, babes.
00:19:15Here we are.
00:19:16Cheers.
00:19:18Hopefully, you know, it's just us.
00:19:20We can have all the food and the drink.
00:19:22I mean, I wouldn't be mad about it, babes.
00:19:26I mean, I'm just...
00:19:28I think I'm just really, really excited to share how much fun we had.
00:19:32And, like, and how good it was.
00:19:35Isn't that nice that a couple is sitting here talking about themselves?
00:19:39Not everybody else.
00:19:40Yes.
00:19:41This is great.
00:19:42Check it out, babe.
00:19:44We're going to make you blush.
00:19:46And the enthusiasm.
00:19:47Yeah.
00:19:48In Rachel's voice and face as she is just excited to tell people the good news.
00:19:52I'm just going to say I had a good week.
00:20:04Stop rubbing your name.
00:20:05Oh, me.
00:20:09I'm trying to understand you, because I don't understand you.
00:20:11You're confusing the out of me.
00:20:14Well...
00:20:28This whole, I'm at my limit, I need space, it sounds really bad.
00:20:36Does it?
00:20:37Yes.
00:20:38So maybe we've got to word it differently.
00:20:40It's not taking space from each other.
00:20:43It's just taking space to process everything.
00:20:47Okay.
00:20:52Oh, look who it is.
00:20:59This whole, I'm at my limit, I need space, it sounds really bad.
00:21:04Does it?
00:21:05Yes.
00:21:08So maybe we've got to word it differently.
00:21:10It's not taking space from each other.
00:21:12It's just taking space to process everything.
00:21:15Okay.
00:21:18Oh, look who it is.
00:21:19Oh, my God.
00:21:21Oh, my God.
00:21:23Oh, Alyssa and David.
00:21:25Party for four.
00:21:29Hang on.
00:21:30How are you, mate?
00:21:31Dude, that's all I can do.
00:21:32Handshake.
00:21:33Good to see you, bro.
00:21:34Likewise, you're looking good.
00:21:36That's some energy there, isn't it?
00:21:38Oh, at first.
00:21:40Yeah, at first.
00:21:40You got the best.
00:21:41We got so much done.
00:21:42Oh, yeah, we've got a lot to evaluate.
00:21:44Let's just get some...
00:21:46Evaluate?
00:21:47Okay, okay.
00:21:55So are you prepared for everyone to find out that I'm a better fisherman than you, or...?
00:21:59Oh, hang on.
00:22:00Whoa.
00:22:05Walking into the cocktail party tonight, you know, I was...
00:22:09Obviously, I've been on a low post the homestays.
00:22:13I've sort of just been feeling deflated.
00:22:16Ooh.
00:22:17Pride in my face.
00:22:18And I did make it known to Alyssa that, you know, I am sort of one in my own space,
00:22:23you know,
00:22:23in my head, just to sort of figure things out.
00:22:26So I did walk in on a low.
00:22:32Oh, who is it?
00:22:33Hey!
00:22:34Here we go!
00:22:34Hello there.
00:22:35What's up?
00:22:36Scott and Gia.
00:22:38Do I spin?
00:22:38A little...
00:22:41How pretty are you both?
00:22:43Hi!
00:22:44I'll give you some love.
00:22:45Gorgeous.
00:22:46Hello.
00:22:46Hi.
00:22:47Hi.
00:22:48Hi.
00:22:49Walking into the cocktail party tonight with Gia, like, you know, we're not perfect.
00:22:53We still have a couple of things to work on.
00:22:55Get a drink and get in here, brother.
00:22:56I always look at the bright side.
00:22:58If there's something that's really bad, I just see the more good in someone.
00:23:01Can we carry that?
00:23:02Thanks.
00:23:06All right, Chris, why don't you tell me what's running through your head and going into this?
00:23:10One saving grace for me is that last time I was in this car with Sam, it was just so
00:23:15yucky
00:23:16and awkward, so I'm grateful not to have that, you know, at the moment.
00:23:21Well, it was so awkward you could cut the tension with a knife, and I could not wait to get
00:23:25out of the car.
00:23:27I just hope this, you know, situation with Sam and I can get squashed pretty quickly
00:23:33so I can have a couple of shams and try and enjoy my night.
00:23:38Yeah, no, this is definitely not how I expected to be going to a dinner party in the experiment.
00:23:42I think Chris and I started off really strong, everything was going good, and then at some
00:23:46point he just flipped, and it all just sort of fell apart, and I don't really know what
00:23:50that flip was into him.
00:23:54Do you know if Sam's coming tonight?
00:23:56Oh, I definitely know he'll be going.
00:23:58Yeah.
00:23:59He wants to go to get the whole group's opinion and two cents on our dirty laundry.
00:24:06But, you know what, there's two sides to this story, and coming to the dinner party to back
00:24:10myself, and say my side of the story.
00:24:19Yeah, and that's what we're going to do.
00:24:20Oh!
00:24:21Oh!
00:24:24Oh!
00:24:26Oh!
00:24:27Oh!
00:24:29Oh!
00:24:29Okay, that's a surprise.
00:24:30Hi.
00:24:31Hey, Barton.
00:24:32So Chris walks in solo.
00:24:35Well, shit.
00:24:37That's not my prediction.
00:24:39Drink.
00:24:40Drink.
00:24:41Drink.
00:24:41Drink.
00:24:42I mean, they were very bad at the commitment ceremony.
00:24:44Chris had written leave.
00:24:45Sam was absolutely in tears about it all.
00:24:48There was a hope that at the homestay, they might be able to turn it around, but this looks
00:24:51like it's actually not been salvaged.
00:24:55The brown forge.
00:24:56Yeah, yeah, I'm all right.
00:24:57You look very tanned.
00:24:58Thanks, babe.
00:24:59The fit's good.
00:25:00The fit's good.
00:25:01The fit's good.
00:25:01My life's not.
00:25:01I would love one, babe.
00:25:02Your life is okay.
00:25:04Yeah, thanks, babe.
00:25:04You've got this shit, babe.
00:25:05You've got this shit.
00:25:06Yeah.
00:25:07Yeah, so obviously it didn't work out.
00:25:08Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:25:09Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:25:10Wait.
00:25:11I feel like maybe Sam and I can unpack it together.
00:25:13Okay.
00:25:14All right.
00:25:14You don't want to talk about that?
00:25:15No, I'll give you a little rundown.
00:25:18It's really hard seeing them not walking together because I genuinely had hope that they would
00:25:23get past this.
00:25:25Seeing Chris walking in by himself, like, it was genuinely, like, pretty heartbreaks.
00:25:32Basically, yeah, Sam ended it with me two days into homestays.
00:25:36He ended it with you?
00:25:37The second day.
00:25:38He ended it?
00:25:39Yeah.
00:25:40Yeah.
00:25:40He ended it with you?
00:25:41Yeah.
00:25:42Oh, Sam ended it.
00:25:44I wonder why.
00:25:45Yes.
00:25:45I wonder why.
00:25:47Obviously, we had, like, a, you know, a pretty bad couch session.
00:25:51I took accountability.
00:25:53I decided that I wanted to learn and grow from the feedback that I got.
00:25:56Yeah, you said that.
00:25:56Um, so I went into homestays, trying to turn it around.
00:25:59Gia knows, I spoke with you about it.
00:26:01Yeah.
00:26:01Morning flowers, made him dinner.
00:26:02I tried everything that I could to turn it around, but unfortunately, um, yeah, it
00:26:06didn't work for us.
00:26:07And it was really, it was a real shock because I thought we were actually doing quite well.
00:26:11Like, you know, I started to get those feelings back for him again, so.
00:26:14So Chris was saying he started getting feelings for Sam again.
00:26:17Okay, so he was shocked by it.
00:26:20Blindsided.
00:26:22Wow.
00:26:22So, it's pretty, it's pretty sad, um, but I respect Sam's decision to exit.
00:26:27Um, and we actually weren't even going to come tonight.
00:26:29Like, they, we, he left the farm and we were just going to leave it at that because
00:26:32we unpacked a lot of it.
00:26:34Um, but I've decided to give Sam the respect of coming tonight so we can both talk to you
00:26:38guys about it and, um, let you know what's happened and then sit in front of the experts
00:26:43and get their advice.
00:26:44But, like, no ill feelings towards Sam.
00:26:46I respect his decision.
00:26:47But, yeah, she's single again.
00:26:50Oh!
00:26:51Yeah!
00:26:52Good bye.
00:26:53I love you.
00:26:53Yeah.
00:26:55Alyssa, how was yours?
00:26:57Uh, I feel like I'm still processing everything.
00:27:04It's crunch time, right?
00:27:05It's crunch time.
00:27:06It's crunch time.
00:27:09Um, but we'll talk about it later at the dinner party.
00:27:13Okay.
00:27:18Hey!
00:27:19Hey!
00:27:20Hey!
00:27:21Hey!
00:27:23Hey!
00:27:23Hey!
00:27:25Hey!
00:27:25Hey!
00:27:26Hey!
00:27:26Hey!
00:27:28Hey!
00:27:28Hey!
00:27:28Hey, nice day man, looking good at him.
00:27:30Horse is black, I love that.
00:27:31How are you?
00:27:31For the best part?
00:27:32We had a really good home state, you know.
00:27:34I got clarity, so it's been decided.
00:27:37Uh, I will be making that move happen sooner rather than later.
00:27:41You look tan.
00:27:41You look, do you not spray tan?
00:27:43Huh?
00:27:43Do you not spray tan?
00:27:44We went to the beach.
00:27:45What the hell?
00:27:46And I just thought, you know what, like, it's time to go for an adventure.
00:27:53Ah, he's Beck and Danny.
00:27:59Beck and Danny.
00:28:01Hello.
00:28:02How are you?
00:28:03I'm feeling phenomenal walking into this cocktail party tonight.
00:28:06Danny and I are in a great spot.
00:28:09We are planning our future together.
00:28:13We had great homestays and I've got no beef with anyone.
00:28:16Oh my God, pigs fly.
00:28:17What the hell?
00:28:18I'm not arguing with anyone.
00:28:21Hello.
00:28:22How was homestays?
00:28:23Cheers.
00:28:24How did you go?
00:28:26How was Adelaide?
00:28:27Oh, we're good.
00:28:27Yeah.
00:28:28We had a break here.
00:28:30It was going to be hot.
00:28:33I got back and I was a bit drained, to tell you the truth.
00:28:35It's a lot.
00:28:37I felt a bit uncomfortable in our house and I felt a bit out of place.
00:28:40And it made me think about the logistics of the move more, like how it's going to work.
00:28:46Because I'm not just going to move in with that.
00:28:48Of course.
00:28:49And live like, oh, put my feet up, this is rent free.
00:28:52Yeah.
00:28:52That doesn't sit well with me.
00:28:53So it just solidified there's more things we need to talk about.
00:28:57Of course.
00:29:01So, we're going to do that thing.
00:29:03Yeah.
00:29:03Awesome.
00:29:04Crazy.
00:29:05Love it.
00:29:06I think Danny and I are probably the strongest in the experiment, if I'm honest with you.
00:29:10And like, it feels like it can only go up from here.
00:29:18Coming up.
00:29:19I would never just move in.
00:29:22Danny's jaw-dropping confession.
00:29:24From my point of view anyway, I suppose everyone looks at it different, but it makes you feel like a
00:29:28****.
00:29:28Has the whole table talking.
00:29:30What are you on about?
00:29:34Oh, what?
00:29:36Oh, my God.
00:29:38Oh, my God.
00:29:43Oh, my God.
00:29:49Here we go.
00:29:54When did you talk to him last?
00:29:55Um, the last time he spoke to me was, um, the Friday after he left.
00:30:01And all he said was that he wanted to come to the dinner party.
00:30:04Coming to Sam already.
00:30:06Yeah, I don't know what the energy is going to be like with Sam.
00:30:08I hope he comes in, like, nice.
00:30:12Just yeah, I just can't deal with any more, you know
00:30:25Hello everyone. Oh, here he is. How you going? Good. How are you? Good. You look nice. Yeah, how are
00:30:32you? Not too bad
00:30:34Hello
00:30:37Sam, how are you Matt? I'm hugging my chest height, but I've got a vertical problem
00:30:43Hey look, look at me brother. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Let's get a drink. I hope he doesn't come at me.
00:30:49Why are you worried?
00:30:51Oh, I just just don't worry. Yeah, I just can't deal with it like
00:30:55All right
00:30:57No, you're okay
00:30:59How are you? Yeah, are you okay? Oh
00:31:02It's a little bit like there was no real effort while we're away
00:31:06But we'll get into it at the table. Yeah, no, no. He's given us a bit of a break
00:31:12What is this um that you guys you know went to homestays and I can't you know one night
00:31:17Do you guys have dinner together one night and he thought the first night was going okay?
00:31:21Um and then obviously you guys both had a chat and decided that it was yeah, yeah
00:31:28Did he didn't drive
00:31:31You took me eating up his bullshit
00:31:34Don't eat up his bullshit
00:31:39Dinner is sir. Okay, let's go
00:31:42Babes got it. Let's go man
00:31:47All righty
00:31:49Well, let's hope that now that dinner is about to begin we will get to the bottom of what actually
00:31:54happened at the homestay between Sam and Chris
00:31:56Yes, we need to understand what actually went on there
00:32:00Cheers guys
00:32:02Cheers
00:32:09You got the um you got the tits out again. Oh, yeah
00:32:14Tits out for the boys
00:32:15I love you guys. I love this for you
00:32:18Dull. Yes
00:32:19Yeah
00:32:21Yeah
00:32:31Wow
00:32:32Oh, it's very teens isn't that Chris Sam
00:32:42I
00:32:44Really want to talk about from our perspective what led me to the decision to end things. Yeah, and how
00:32:50I felt the whole homestay. So yeah
00:32:55Tonight is going to be shit
00:32:59I
00:33:02Damn, I've already hashed this out at the farm
00:33:04We're revisiting it in front of the group. So for me, this is not comfortable
00:33:09I'm hoping that we can get it out of the way quickly and I just want to get this over
00:33:12and done with
00:33:16Hope Sam gets the closure that he needs and we can yeah move on I
00:33:21Thought we both just need to say
00:33:23Everything that got us to this point
00:33:26Um, especially with meeting the experts tomorrow
00:33:28I want to get as much as I can out of this experience
00:33:58Um, yeah
00:33:59Loads of effort I feel sorry for anybody
00:34:01He ends up with in the future like
00:34:05Yeah
00:34:08Can I ask a question?
00:34:11How did Sam end the relationship and where and how did it happen?
00:34:14I could I tell the whole story?
00:34:16I want you guys both to say it
00:34:17Yeah
00:34:19Yeah, so homestays obviously you all saw the last commitment ceremony
00:34:23Um, I wrote stay and Christopher leave and that was really hard for me to battle with personally because I
00:34:28did have feelings for Chris
00:34:30So I like obviously now I'm very nervous going into homestays and we get to the car to drive down
00:34:35and I'm like
00:34:37Just sitting in the car and it's so uncomfortable and I'm I like literally just like shut my eyes and
00:34:43kind of pretend that I'm sleeping
00:34:44And then I get to the farm and then I do try to have fun and have a good time.
00:34:49I'll wake up the next morning
00:34:52And Chris is nowhere to be seen
00:34:55No message. No, no
00:34:58I'm just there sitting for an hour in his house at his place with no car
00:35:03Just by myself and then he rocks up is I just went to the gym this morning was really windy
00:35:07last night and I'm like, okay
00:35:08Cool and like this is when I'm starting to feel like are you really do you really want me here?
00:35:12Do you like really want to show me how much you want this relationship to work?
00:35:19Look for me it was letting him sleep a little bit longer
00:35:25Yes
00:35:25We're not interrupting each other tonight, right?
00:35:29Oh
00:35:29God, okay
00:35:31Can I keep going with my story then?
00:35:34Yeah
00:35:35So then we come to the fire the next night and this is when I'm like this is my last
00:35:40plea here
00:35:41Like I'm gonna try and see if he really wants to fight for this if he really wants this relationship
00:35:46to work
00:35:46And I had written down questions that were all just about what the experts said
00:35:51Going through all these questions and then he starts to get a bit shorter with them because he's sick of
00:35:55talking about it
00:35:56And then I'm like Chris do you even have feelings for me?
00:36:00And he goes oh, you know with what's happened over the last couple of weeks
00:36:04I feel like my feelings are pretty damaged and like I don't really know if I do anymore
00:36:12And I'm like well then what am I doing here?
00:36:17Then I was just like well then do we just end it here and you were just like yeah, I
00:36:20think that's probably like right to do
00:36:23And what I don't understand is where I hurt your feelings and where you lost your feelings for me
00:36:33What I honestly feel like happened is that you just like did the bare minimum
00:36:38Got me flowers so that you could come here tonight and say I did this for Sam I tried
00:36:43But like I know that you were checked out of this relationship already. I know you didn't want to give
00:36:48it a go
00:36:53If I'm honest and I'll have to be honest
00:36:57It seems like you're putting a lot on Chris
00:36:59Yep
00:37:00And just because we have expectations to fill our cup fully doesn't mean this other person is not trying
00:37:07Hold on hold on a second
00:37:10Let's not forget that like the week before Sam was in a world of pain alone
00:37:19Being yes, correct
00:37:20Hang on a second. Hang on a minute. Hang on
00:37:23Sorry, I've got to say something here
00:37:26Bec needs to mind her business
00:37:28I don't know how her homestays went but that should be her focus for a couple weeks out of final
00:37:32bowels
00:37:33Don't worry about your man doll
00:37:36I'm not gonna sit let anyone sit here and say your expectations are too high
00:37:40When Sam sat there in tears by himself not knowing which way was up and which way was down for
00:37:46a whole week
00:37:47Because the person that he has these feelings for was quite aggressive to him
00:37:51Like let's all just take a step back
00:37:53But babe you've been aggressive too at the dinner parties
00:37:58I get that
00:37:58You're in no position to be giving someone feedback about their behaviour honey
00:38:01So just pipe it down a little bit
00:38:12Sam sat there in tears by himself not knowing which way was up and which way was down for a
00:38:17whole week
00:38:18Because the person that he has these feelings for was quite aggressive to him
00:38:22Like let's all just take a step back
00:38:24Babe you've been aggressive too at the dinner parties
00:38:29You're in no position to be giving someone feedback about their behaviour honey
00:38:32So just pipe it down a little bit
00:38:36But I've never been aggressive to you
00:38:39Can I speak now? First of all
00:38:42Like hand on heart I tried my hardest to turn it around
00:38:47I got the feedback from the experts
00:38:49I took it on board
00:38:50I took accountability
00:38:51I realised that I wanted to grow and learn as a person
00:38:54And I wanted to come out the other end
00:38:56And I'm sorry but I was doing that
00:38:58And I thought we had a good day
00:38:59And like you pulled the notepad out and then asked me the questions
00:39:03And I just for me I felt like you know like can we just live in the moment
00:39:07Can we just have a bit of fun and try
00:39:09But do you understand with the questions there are things that were burning inside Sam
00:39:13Of course
00:39:13That he needs answers too
00:39:14Yeah cool I'll keep talking babes
00:39:18So I felt uncomfortable but I stayed calm and I answered the question
00:39:22I answered the questions as best as I could
00:39:24But you ended it with me you said like
00:39:27Yeah I know
00:39:27Can I just say something the reason I ended it
00:39:31Is because I asked Chris
00:39:33Do you still have feelings for me?
00:39:36If you were trying so hard and you thought that everything was what you're saying
00:39:41Then at that point you should have said Sam yes I have feelings for you
00:39:49Can I ask a question?
00:39:50Do you feel like when Chris said leave the other week at the last commitment sir
00:39:55I know it really hurt you like you were really upset we could see that
00:39:58Do you think that that really hurt you to a point where had you already made up your mind?
00:40:04I hadn't made my mind that just hurt me to the point where I
00:40:06This is why I think I needed so much from Chris
00:40:09Because I was really hurt that he said he wanted to leave
00:40:11That he had already given up so I'm like I need to see from you that you haven't given up
00:40:15completely
00:40:15And I get maybe for you what you did was enough
00:40:18But for me it wasn't
00:40:19And then I decided that based on the fact that what you did wasn't enough for my expectations
00:40:23The caller happened I ended things because I wasn't getting what I wanted from Chris
00:40:27And if that's not what he can give because he's got kids and he's got fun
00:40:30He's got everything else
00:40:31Then you're not ultimately a good match
00:40:39It's really upsetting that it hasn't worked out between Sam and Chris
00:40:43Because I care for both boys but listening to both sides of the story I'm like
00:40:50They're not speaking the same language and they're seeing different things
00:40:54And I don't think they're gonna align tonight
00:40:59Just unfortunately it hasn't worked and I don't want this to be yucky
00:41:01I just want to be amicable
00:41:03I don't want it to be yucky either
00:41:04It's not yucky though is it?
00:41:06It's not yucky
00:41:07Don't mistake passion for anger I think you're both passionate
00:41:10It's not yucky in my opinion you're both just ironing it out
00:41:14We do love you both
00:41:15We love you a lot
00:41:17Yeah
00:41:17100%
00:41:18Kings
00:41:19I think it's really sad what's happened with Sam and Chris
00:41:22I love them as people and I love them together
00:41:25And I'm getting this feeling of like Chris did try
00:41:29The way he knew how
00:41:31But it wasn't enough for Sam
00:41:34It's a hard one
00:41:44So Beck and Danny
00:41:46How about you guys?
00:41:48You're next
00:41:49How was your homestays?
00:41:51We had such a good homestays didn't we?
00:41:55If my family felt the need to have hard conversations with you they would
00:42:01I think obviously because Danielle fancied me
00:42:06I'm joking
00:42:07You should be able to say something nice and be genuine about it and then not say oh your cousin
00:42:11wants to me
00:42:12I never said that
00:42:13There's a camera in my face and you're abusing me over a joke
00:42:16Dude there's a camera in my face and you're making a joke of what I'm saying
00:42:19Yeah I'm done
00:42:21F*** you
00:42:22F*** me
00:42:24Well we had like a like two perfect things and then like the time we had a little argument at
00:42:30the end
00:42:33We had a tiny little ding dong at the end
00:42:37It lasted about 15 minutes
00:42:40I think like for me I don't know for anyone else who experienced like going into your partner's home
00:42:47In that moment I felt like a bit out of place in the house like up until that point I
00:42:52felt so comfortable
00:42:53Like so welcome
00:42:54Not that I was ever like unwelcome
00:42:57But in that moment arguing like
00:43:00Hardly an argument a ding dong
00:43:01But yeah
00:43:03Or whatever you want to call it
00:43:07Whilst Danny did call it an argument
00:43:08Bec called it a ding dong so she's wanting to really contain it
00:43:11Yes
00:43:12When we had the disagreement at the house I felt really uncomfortable
00:43:15Because it's not my space it's your space
00:43:17Yeah
00:43:18Do you know what I mean? I don't know if anyone else can
00:43:19It's like
00:43:21Yeah so that was sort of something that stuck with me in the sense of like
00:43:25Moving forward it made me look at things in a different way in the sense that
00:43:31I'd probably want to I don't know how I'd want to navigate
00:43:36If I was to move to Adelaide how the logistics of it would look as a man
00:43:43Oh
00:43:44That's a man
00:43:47I feel like like do you know what you mean like it's more Bec's house than it is my house
00:43:52Like moving into her house
00:43:52Yeah correct like like I'd want to sit down and speak to Bec on a deeper level about that
00:43:59Because like I feel like if you move in with a woman and like I would never just move in
00:44:08Like we have to talk about that on a deeper level in the sense that like
00:44:12I'm not moving out of my house
00:44:16No I'm not asking you to but what I'm saying is like
00:44:19It's how he fits into it babe
00:44:21Yeah how I fit into it that's that's more what I'm saying
00:44:25And to you right now you're probably like that like that's easy
00:44:28I know like it's just but like I get from Danny's perspective he's like
00:44:32Yeah I move in so like he's got to get his stuff out where does he put his stuff
00:44:36And like and we would make space 100% for that
00:44:38From my point of view anyway I suppose everyone looks at it different but
00:44:42It makes you feel like a bit of a bitch moving in with a woman
00:44:46What are you on about?
00:45:01From my point of view anyway I suppose everyone looks at it different but
00:45:04It makes you feel like a bit of a bitch moving in with a woman
00:45:11What are you on about?
00:45:13Oh no that's not what I was getting at
00:45:15Oh God
00:45:16Oh my God
00:45:18He's talking about feeling emasculated if she was the one who owned the house
00:45:24And let's not use the term bitch in that way either Danny
00:45:27Not cool
00:45:28We're on 800 square metres five minutes from the city
00:45:31With a $97,000 mortgage and a $3 million house
00:45:36F*** me
00:45:41Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
00:45:42Like firstly
00:45:45You've never said that to me
00:45:47Women have worked really really hard to make sure that we've got this multi-million dollar home
00:45:53In the most affluent suburb of South Australia
00:45:56So yeah you're not going to be a bitch moving into my house
00:45:59That was not what I was getting at
00:46:02Are we serious for this?
00:46:04We're in the 2020s
00:46:08Emasculated
00:46:09I'm moving into a home with your woman
00:46:12I'll be honest I'll go to hers I want to buy
00:46:13Just grow up
00:46:15You like to be a provider?
00:46:17Correct, correct, yeah
00:46:18I'll be honest I couldn't go to hers
00:46:20I'm going to buy the house I'm going to pay for everything
00:46:22Like that's just a manly thing like
00:46:25Dan's a bit like me
00:46:26He likes to feel like the man, the boss, the alpha male
00:46:30So I understand where Danny's coming from
00:46:31He just wants to feel more masculated in the relationship
00:46:35We're more traditional in that way too
00:46:37No but like I get it like I have it
00:46:39My house is bigger than yours but it's like
00:46:41Yeah like it's different vibe
00:46:43I do agree with Danny
00:46:45I think for a man to feel masculine and his masculine energy
00:46:49They want to have the house and the woman move into it
00:46:52I know that's not like the norm these days but like I like that
00:46:55And that's what me and Scott are doing so I do agree with Danny on that
00:46:59I think he wants to feel like the man and he has every right to feel like that
00:47:03I feel like it's emasculating like I get what you're saying like
00:47:06You want your place to be like here babe like come to me like I'm the man
00:47:11Like I think that's like where you're coming from
00:47:13Yeah that's what I'm saying
00:47:16I felt uncomfortable when we argued and it sort of it made me feel demasculated to like be in her
00:47:21house
00:47:21Yeah like a bit of a bitch
00:47:23I've had that discussion with Bec two or three times
00:47:26I'm not a hit 1990 song on R&B radio that keeps repeating itself, do you know what I mean?
00:47:32I didn't feel uneasy until we had the disagreement and then I was just like
00:47:36No I don't know what you mean Danny
00:47:39I do wonder if Danny's showing a little insecurity there
00:47:42You know I think some men would not see a barrier to moving into a house owned by a woman
00:47:49It's totally
00:47:49It wouldn't feel emasculating
00:47:51He's really dropped the ball here
00:47:53And I'm old school too, I'm exactly the same
00:47:56I can proudly say it as well that if me and Rachel do something
00:48:00I would feel I would feel more comfortable if Rachel moved into my place
00:48:04Feel like a provider
00:48:05Well I don't think that's very fair because at the end of the day
00:48:08The difference is that I've got a massive house with a lot of space five minutes out of the city
00:48:13with a mortgage of 97 grand
00:48:15I feel like you're a team, I feel like you're a team
00:48:17100%
00:48:18I was brought up on those values, that's just the way I think
00:48:21If I moved to Adelaide, I'd be gambling
00:48:24Yeah, that's over
00:48:25But I think that's why there's so many like, I guess
00:48:27Really?
00:48:29I wouldn't, yeah
00:48:30But I wouldn't like, you would get away together, do you know what I mean?
00:48:32I know we work together, but as a man it's just something that I do
00:48:36As a man, maybe I'm old school like that, but I believe like the man should be the man of
00:48:41the house and take care of the big bills
00:48:43It's nice to have your own thing, but ultimately you work together, right?
00:48:47Exactly, yeah
00:48:48Ultimately we're awesome
00:48:49It's about how can we work together, how can we make this work, what are your needs, you know, vice
00:48:54versa
00:48:54It doesn't have to be a demasculating thing, it just has to be teamwork
00:48:59It's true to that
00:49:00No, you're a team
00:49:02For some reason, it's just a mental thing, it just works like that
00:49:08Females feel more secure when it is like that, it's just how it is, unfortunately it's a double set, it's
00:49:13just how it is
00:49:14Guys don't have that problem
00:49:16I understand where Danny's coming from, don't agree with it, but I understand where Danny's coming from
00:49:25Beck and Danny's homestay, I don't think was as great as they made it out to be
00:49:30There's something, there's something not right there
00:49:32This is a serious conversation you've asked me to talk
00:49:35Uh, yeah I know, for a dinner party
00:49:39Shut up, great, excellent
00:49:43So glad we're talking about it with everyone
00:49:46Oh goodness
00:49:48No, I said it to you already
00:49:49Not to that level babes
00:49:51I have, 100% have
00:49:53No
00:50:02Still to come
00:50:03I did spiral a little bit
00:50:06Dave, what's going through your head bro?
00:50:08David finally finds his voice
00:50:11I've hit my wall
00:50:12I've been calm throughout this whole thing, but I'm at my limit
00:50:17This is really a relationship in peril
00:50:19Yeah
00:50:20Before Beck confronts Danny
00:50:23I would have appreciated it, having been that open, it's been a lot of relations
00:50:28It's just made me that...
00:50:29Before, I might take a look at how you think
00:50:31Before, I'm sorry
00:50:40How about you?
00:50:41Alyssa
00:50:43How was yours?
00:50:47Um...
00:50:48Do you know what, Alyssa and David really have not spoken about themselves at all
00:50:53No
00:50:53And that is not usual for them
00:50:56David looks quite uncomfortable actually
00:50:58Yeah
00:51:00I feel like we had highs and lows
00:51:04I did spiral a little bit, like I did get in my head
00:51:08Because, you know, as soon as we touched down in Adelaide, I felt like this weight
00:51:16I felt like, oh my goodness, I...
00:51:18You know, I said I was going to move to Sydney
00:51:20And like, we're going to make this thing work in Sydney
00:51:22And we'll meet halfway
00:51:23But I have a lot of responsibilities in Adelaide
00:51:27I have contracts in place, I have my business, I have a house, I have a cat
00:51:32But I'm almost 34
00:51:33And in the next few years, I want to start a family
00:51:35So I kind of put pressure on myself
00:51:38And that's where I started to spiral on homestays
00:51:41Because I was like, shit, this is not going to work
00:51:44Like, I don't think I'm going to be able to stretch myself out of Adelaide
00:51:48Like, in the next three months
00:51:49It might look like six to twelve months if we're going to make this work in the real world
00:51:58Beforehand, you were saying, potentially, you'd give it three months to move to Sydney
00:52:02Is it the move to Adelaide now?
00:52:04Well, that's what it would probably be
00:52:09It would be Adelaide, yeah
00:52:11Oh
00:52:12We haven't heard that from her before
00:52:14A lot came out of homestays
00:52:16But it's just like, how do we move, like, forward?
00:52:20But I feel like the way that we process things are very different
00:52:23And I'm wondering, why am I spiralling?
00:52:25You know, we're all under pressure
00:52:26But some people also deal with pressure differently
00:52:28When I need to just process, my mind's going, bing, bing, bing, bing
00:52:33I retract
00:52:35Things have kind of turned on its head a little bit
00:52:38Alyssa's now saying, I can't move
00:52:40David's going, look, I'm willing to sacrifice everything
00:52:43And move down to Adelaide to give this relationship the best chance
00:52:47But her retracting and pulling away from Dave, freaking Dave out
00:52:51You know, I sort of felt for Dave a little bit
00:52:53If anything, all the risk is on David
00:52:56And there was one other thing
00:52:59I know that I can be a bit full on
00:53:03And like, he does ground me
00:53:05But maybe I'm finding a little bit sometimes too much
00:53:08Where I feel like I'm not myself
00:53:10Like, it's really shifting my energy
00:53:14And that's not something I'm used to
00:53:16My husband also snores
00:53:18So I've had, like, lack of sleep the last three months
00:53:20Like, it's just, it's a compiling thing
00:53:23I feel like, right now, Alyssa is trying to look for any little thing she can pull from the sky
00:53:33To question things in the relationship
00:53:35And that is pushing me away
00:53:37She says she doesn't want to push me away
00:53:39But her throwing all these doubts
00:53:42There's only so much I can take
00:53:43Before I start feeling like an idiot, you know
00:53:47I think I was fine with just continuing to be that emotional shoulder to lean on until
00:53:55Homestays
00:53:56We've been on this experiment for two months
00:53:59And it's been long enough for her to, like, be a bit more certain
00:54:03You know, if this ultimately isn't going to work
00:54:05I'm not going to force anything
00:54:07Like, it's up to her to come from her head into her heart
00:54:10For this to work long-term
00:54:14Dave, what's going through your head, bro?
00:54:22I've hit my wall, I've been calm throughout this whole thing
00:54:25But I'm at my limit
00:54:28You know, and I sort of need that mental space as well
00:54:31Just as much as she probably needs it from coming back from homestay
00:54:35And it's something we both need
00:54:37But it's at the point, emotionally, I don't have much to give
00:54:40I'm invested in this relationship
00:54:41I am prepared to move for this relationship
00:54:44But for me, I bonded with her mum and her two best friends
00:54:47And I've got her mum saying, this is all good for you
00:54:50Her friend saying, this is good for you
00:54:52I really love David a lot
00:54:54So I'm just like, what other green checks do you need ticked off?
00:54:59Like, you know?
00:55:04Well, this is David being really raw, isn't it?
00:55:07I mean, he's saying that he's exhausted
00:55:09And also, he's hit his limit
00:55:13And I know that they talk about it in relation to the experiment
00:55:18But actually, you know, the experiment for some people
00:55:20It brings them closer right now
00:55:22And I get some real worries that he's started to step back
00:55:27We got cracks, man
00:55:28We've got cracks like everyone
00:55:29But that's something that, you know, we will talk to the experts about
00:55:35We actually haven't seen them in this state before, have we?
00:55:39I'd say absolutely more questions than answers we got tonight
00:55:43So that's where we've got to go tomorrow night
00:55:46We are going to need to ask about the homestays
00:55:50And particularly where they see themselves in the future
00:55:54This is really a relationship in peril
00:55:57Yeah
00:56:02It sounds like you've been approached by some producers to do another show, is that right?
00:56:06I've had the producers from Aussie Shore
00:56:09Reach out and see would I do the season three with them?
00:56:11Gotcha, alright
00:56:13I had one of the female cast members slide into my DMs like four or five days ago
00:56:17And I think it's come from there
00:56:19Yeah
00:56:20Is that something you want me to go and do or?
00:56:22My job is not to advise you on what to do or what not to do
00:56:25But documenting your life on flex
00:56:27If this is where your life goes, you know
00:56:30No, it's entirely up to you
00:56:31If you decide that you want to pursue it further, I can talk to them
00:56:34And see whether we can capture some of the journey, you know
00:56:40Gosh, mate, I've already
00:56:42So I've also blocked my parents, didn't I, on social media
00:56:44So they didn't see my escorting videos
00:56:48And then it took two days, and they've seen them
00:56:51Because a friend had gone and seen them
00:56:52And been like, have you seen what Marcus is doing in Australia?
00:56:54And they obviously had no idea
00:56:55So I'm just dealing with that at the moment
00:56:57And I think to drop the bombshell that yes, I'm an escort
00:56:59And I'm also going to go on Aussie Shore
00:57:03Alright, you're on flex, you're an escort
00:57:06And then you're going to go on Aussie Shore
00:57:07You know, it's a big break for Marcus
00:57:09I've had a busy three days this week, mate, yeah
00:57:11I don't know if it's going downhill or uphill
00:57:13I can't quite decide
00:57:30How are your homestays, guys?
00:57:32I went out on his Harley
00:57:34Like, I grew up there, so I'm like, I went to school there
00:57:37I had my first kiss there, I did this there
00:57:38And it's like, it's not like a foreign place for me
00:57:41Yeah
00:57:41It's just easy the fact that she's lived there before
00:57:43So that was pretty big for us to have
00:57:45That's amazing
00:57:45Yeah, it was really good
00:57:47The taste of the outside world, you know what I mean?
00:57:49We know, yeah
00:57:51So what's your plan?
00:57:52After the experiment?
00:57:55I do like Cronulla
00:57:57Yeah, that's good
00:57:58I could see myself there, that's very important
00:58:00That's the whole point of it, the home visit
00:58:02It's like, can I see myself there?
00:58:04Yes, I can
00:58:05Let's just do it
00:58:06Just give it a go, like, and that was a realisation I had
00:58:10And you have a plan moving forward
00:58:12Yeah, yeah
00:58:12And like, you guys are great
00:58:14Yeah
00:58:16Rachel and Stephen, homestays
00:58:18Hey guys, who's talking?
00:58:20I didn't know you missed
00:58:21You can talk
00:58:22Captain Steve-o
00:58:23I reckon, Rachel goes first and I'll
00:58:25No, can Steve-o go first, please?
00:58:27I agree, Steve-o can go first
00:58:29I always talk
00:58:31Can you hear me down there?
00:58:33Yeah, loud and clear
00:58:35Alright, so, look, I'm happy to say that
00:58:38Rachel and my family did get along
00:58:40Everyone loves each other
00:58:41A lot of the drinks were flowing
00:58:42Everything was fantastic
00:58:44And yeah, we had a really good time
00:58:46And took Rachel out on the boat
00:58:49And she got to experience a little
00:58:51You know, a little snapshot of what my life is about
00:58:55And what I'm passionate about
00:58:56So I took her out fishing
00:58:58And definitely so very impressed with Rachel
00:59:01She's a country girl
00:59:02Full on leaned in
00:59:04She's a catch
00:59:05I am the catch
00:59:06She is a catch
00:59:07That's right, the catch of the day
00:59:09Right here
00:59:10And look, I was very impressed with her fishing skills
00:59:13She kissed a couple fish
00:59:15But I'm looking at this woman going, look, it's not just that she's leaning into fishing
00:59:21It's more the fact that I'm seeing a woman there that is having a crack
00:59:25And I can see that outside fishing
00:59:29Rachel will have my back in things
00:59:35I can see we can do life together
00:59:37But I feel a lot more confident now that the foundation has been laid on my side anyway
00:59:41With Rachel that we can take this out onto the outside
00:59:48And have somewhere to start because it's been been done and dusted
00:59:52I'm still going to meet her side
00:59:53But I feel more confident on my side that Rachel and my family and my lifestyle will match now
00:59:58So we had a good time
01:00:00That's a day
01:00:06Who would have thought?
01:00:08Who would have thought?
01:00:10Hearing Stephen talk about our home say and like the beautiful things he was saying
01:00:15Yeah
01:00:17You sound emotional
01:00:18I am emotional
01:00:19I'm so emotional about it because
01:00:23I've got this guy that I truly, truly care about
01:00:27And I'm developing such strong feelings for
01:00:30And every time he talks about us with the group and everything, it's beautiful
01:00:36It's just so nice
01:00:37And what an amazing journey and opportunity we've had
01:00:44And the fact that we get to be with each other is just even better
01:00:50Some guys are going to buy girls flowers, my guy bought me a fishing rod
01:00:54I know
01:00:55I'm just saying
01:00:57And I was happy, your girl's got her first fishing rod
01:01:01Rachel looks so happy
01:01:04Look at Stephen's smile
01:01:06We've never seen him smile like this
01:01:08We've never seen him as relaxed
01:01:10No!
01:01:11And as confident as he has been tonight
01:01:13That was a full bodied smile
01:01:15He's really transformed
01:01:17But watching him now is just such a joy
01:01:20And he's so comfortable in her space
01:01:22Look, we went through hard times at the start of our relationship
01:01:27You all saw it
01:01:28And you know what?
01:01:30We've just soared
01:01:31And you know, we're now hitting weeks where it should test us
01:01:35And instead it's strengthening us
01:01:37And it's really nice
01:01:38I love it!
01:01:39Yay!
01:01:41Well done!
01:01:43Rachel and Steve-o!
01:01:55At the dinner table tonight, Danny said that he would feel like a bitch moving into a girl's house
01:02:07I hadn't heard that yet
01:02:10And like, I would hope that my husband knows that he can talk to me
01:02:14Like, we talk about everything
01:02:17So, yeah
01:02:20I feel blindsided by him
01:02:24I feel completely utterly betrayed by my husband
01:02:32They got dragged back into the drama
01:02:37And we've got them
01:02:39Maths Royalty
01:02:40Jamie and Dominica
01:02:42The spiciest sofa showdown
01:02:45Plus the footage you won't believe
01:02:49After the dinner party tonight
01:02:57If I was to move to Adelaide
01:03:00As a man
01:03:02It makes you feel like a bit of a bitch moving in with a woman
01:03:13I've never experienced a slow burn
01:03:16Before
01:03:17And here I am with a slow burn
01:03:19And like I said, we went for a hard yard earlier
01:03:22And now we're so strong because of that
01:03:25And so...
01:03:26Yeah, but not to that level
01:03:28I think I would have appreciated you having been that open
01:03:32It's in a lot of relations
01:03:34It's just made me that much more confident
01:03:37Before home stage
01:03:39Frankly, Danny, time and time again
01:03:41Has not stepped up and made the commitment that she wants and craves
01:03:46She's been transparent
01:03:47He hasn't said that he loves her back
01:03:49He's now saying, I don't want to live in your house
01:03:53So there's a number of things that are now adding up
01:03:55Yeah
01:03:55That Bec's starting to worry about when it comes to Danny's level of commitment
01:03:59Yes, and rightly so
01:04:02I mean...
01:04:06The idea that...
01:04:07Like the...
01:04:09Like...
01:04:10You basically just said
01:04:12If I was to move to Adelaide
01:04:14I don't know if I'd want to move into my house
01:04:17I was just saying, I didn't...
01:04:18I would have rather you had said that to me before announcing it to attack some people
01:04:24I didn't say any of that
01:04:26I was saying we'd have to like...
01:04:28I'd put money into a house and we'd renovate it
01:04:31Or I'd pick up the mortgage
01:04:32Because we're just moving in
01:04:33How it is would make me feel demasculating
01:04:35Yeah, okay
01:04:36Well, I'm excited...
01:04:38That's how I heard it
01:04:40And I was like...
01:04:41I haven't said that to Becky
01:04:43Because I'm not moving out
01:04:49I think Bec revealed how hard that conversation was for her
01:04:54You know, when she said
01:04:55Oh, here we are having this conversation in front of everyone
01:04:57She felt really uncomfortable
01:04:58And I think after the dinner tonight
01:05:01They'll be going home for quite a big conversation
01:05:21Okay, so the purpose of this conversation is to talk about what's been happening within the group of women
01:05:28Hello ladies
01:05:30Welcome to your hens night
01:05:32Not to make comparisons between men and women and who does it better
01:05:36Wow
01:05:37I just hope that there's some insight here with the ladies
01:05:40That yes, in the future you are going to be in contact with other women who have strong personalities
01:05:46Have strong judgements about you
01:05:48Or opinions about you
01:05:53But that doesn't mean that you have to play dirty
01:05:56As a woman, I think it's important that we support each other
01:06:03Love that
01:06:06That we empower each other
01:06:08I'm so excited, this is amazing
01:06:12That we don't compete with each other
01:06:15Yeah
01:06:17That we give other women an opportunity to shine
01:06:21Jules, were you married?
01:06:24Yes
01:06:28Just like we do
01:06:29I'm falling in love with you
01:06:31And that does not take away any of our power
01:06:34To the last in the party
01:06:36Let's do!
01:06:49Let's do!
