TVTranscript
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 bought fun and joy, humour.
00:00:24But she also bought 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.
00:00:38She 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, and 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.
00:01:46I've got everything that I want in an apartment.
00:01:49I've got my reassurances.
00:01:50We 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.
00:02:13It's not how I envisioned it would end.
00:02:15I really thought Chris would fight for me a bit.
00:02:18You 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.
00:02:40Throughout this experiment, I have been patient.
00:02:43But when you're dealing with the mum, 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?
00:03:16Who would have thought?
00:03:18The person that he has these feelings for was quite aggressive to him.
00:03:22But 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 behaviour, honey.
00:03:32But I've never been aggressive to you.
00:03:35And then...
00:03:36I think, like, for me, as a man, I feel like...
00:03:40Oh, God.
00:03:41Oh, 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
00:04:14after stepping into the life that could be waiting for them
00:04:19outside the experiment.
00:04:20Hi.
00:04:22Hey.
00:04:22Bonjour.
00:04:23Bonjour.
00:04:24Recharged and hopeful,
00:04:26the couples now turn their attention
00:04:28to the second last dinner party of the experiment,
00:04:32eager to reconnect after time apart.
00:04:35Are you excited?
00:04:36I am excited because it's been a very long time
00:04:40since 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 come up.
00:04:49I'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?
00:04:55We 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.
00:05:02Everything is exactly where it needs to be.
00:05:05For Rachel and Stephen,
00:05:08Homestays sparked a breakthrough in their marriage,
00:05:11unlocking a 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
00:05:21and it was amazing.
00:05:23Something definitely clicked for Stephen and I.
00:05:25It 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
00:05:32and 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 a great homestay
00:05:42and I'm actually just really excited
00:05:44to share that with everyone.
00:05:46And that's it.
00:05:47And I'm glad you had a good time
00:05:48and you could see, you know,
00:05:49a little bit of my lifestyle.
00:05:54After 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,
00:06:00can 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,
00:06:14so we're really lucky to have had
00:06:16the good experience that we did.
00:06:19While Homestays brought some closer...
00:06:23..for Scott, welcoming Gia into his home
00:06:26presented 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? Why not?
00:06:34You're trying to find a problem.
00:06:36Is it your exes or something?
00:06:37Do you trust me?
00:06:38Like, 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
00:06:47because I feel like if I want to bring up something,
00:06:49I feel like you might misinterpret it the wrong way.
00:06:52I know I trust you,
00:06:53but can I commit to moving and everything
00:06:55if you never feel like, you know, that you love me?
00:06:59But back at the apartments,
00:07:01eternal optimist Scott is determined to hit reset
00:07:04and look on the bright side.
00:07:06I feel great.
00:07:08I just feel good walking into this dinner party,
00:07:10being 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
00:07:17to share what we've done for Homestays.
00:07:20Yeah.
00:07:21At the end of Homestays, we had a bit of a discussion,
00:07:24but we hashed it out.
00:07:27Today, we're going to the dinner party with positive attitude.
00:07:30We're great. We'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.
00:07:38Coming to the end now.
00:07:39This is the last or second last one.
00:07:41Mm.
00:07:42So, yeah.
00:07:44Do you think it would cause problems
00:07:46if you, you know, raised some concerns?
00:07:51Oh...
00:07:54Pretty much.
00:07:55Let's just do it. Get it done.
00:07:58I'm excited.
00:07:59You look good, we feel good,
00:08:00and I'm ready to walk into a nice dinner party.
00:08:04Yep, me too.
00:08:07For Bec and Danny,
00:08:09what began as a promising homestay
00:08:11took a dramatic turn.
00:08:14If my family felt the need
00:08:15to have hard conversations with you,
00:08:19they would.
00:08:20I think, obviously,
00:08:21because Danielle fancied me,
00:08:22she 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
00:08:39and be genuine about it
00:08:40and then not say,
00:08:41oh, your cousin wants to me.
00:08:43Like...
00:08:44I never said that.
00:08:45Yeah, I'm done.
00:08:46F***ing morning.
00:08:48F***ing me.
00:08:50F***ing...
00:08:52And now back at the apartment,
00:08:54an even bigger shock awaits.
00:09:00So, since we got back to Sydney
00:09:03from homestays,
00:09:04things look great.
00:09:05Like...
00:09:06Cheers, baby.
00:09:07Cheers, girl.
00:09:08The last night, like...
00:09:09Since we've been back,
00:09:11like, there's not really any need
00:09:12to 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,
00:09:19we give each other a cuddle,
00:09:21we have a shag,
00:09:22and we move on.
00:09:23Cheers.
00:09:24It's all blown over.
00:09:26Like...
00:09:27Shocking.
00:09:28Oh, stop it!
00:09:29Ha, ha, ha, ha!
00:09:31For most couples,
00:09:33homestays brought them together.
00:09:35But for one couple,
00:09:36it marked the end of the road.
00:09:39Going to the dinner party tonight,
00:09:41yeah, I'm going alone.
00:09:43And obviously,
00:09:43Chris and I left each other
00:09:44at homestays.
00:09:46I wrote some questions down,
00:09:48and maybe we could just be, like,
00:09:50really raw and honest with each other
00:09:52about all the answers.
00:09:55First question is...
00:09:57Do you accept full responsibility
00:09:58for your defensiveness
00:09:59and the aggression I felt
00:10:00from you last week?
00:10:04Yeah.
00:10:06You don't have to agree.
00:10:07Yeah, no, I agree.
00:10:08Yeah.
00:10:08I just feel like we've...
00:10:09I've already suffered enough from this.
00:10:12I honestly felt like I was, um,
00:10:1415, getting in trouble
00:10:15by a teacher or something.
00:10:16Do you have feelings for me?
00:10:20Um...
00:10:21Okay, okay.
00:10:22Um...
00:10:24In the beginning,
00:10:25uh, yes.
00:10:26But I just think, um,
00:10:29yeah, we also have some, um,
00:10:31differences as well.
00:10:32And I just wanted to put my dad hat on
00:10:35and, like, live my best life.
00:10:38Homestays was my last plea
00:10:41to 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.
00:10:50But I'm going to the dinner party
00:10:52because I want that last chance
00:10:54to sort of just, like,
00:10:56find out why Chris
00:10:57actually didn't want this relationship.
00:11:01I just want clarity
00:11:02on what the hell happened.
00:11:04But Sam isn't the only one
00:11:06struggling with the fallout
00:11:08of their homestay.
00:11:10During their trip to Adelaide,
00:11:12Alyssa received a wake-up call.
00:11:14Obviously, I want to settle down in Adelaide,
00:11:16but what are your thoughts
00:11:19about me moving to Sydney
00:11:20just for a couple of years?
00:11:22I would hate that.
00:11:26Um, you know,
00:11:27you want to have a family
00:11:28and you don't want to
00:11:31keep putting it off.
00:11:33People sometimes take 10 years
00:11:35to fall pregnant.
00:11:36That's the truth.
00:11:37Yeah, I know, but, well,
00:11:38I 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
00:11:45a couple of years to wait.
00:11:49It's really stressful now.
00:11:51I'm feeling a lot online.
00:11:52And after a confronting
00:11:54conversation with her mum,
00:11:56Alyssa unraveled
00:11:57and David was left
00:11:58wondering where he fits.
00:12:00I will be honest with you.
00:12:04I started to spiral.
00:12:06Like, I want to have a family
00:12:07in the next few years.
00:12:10Don't want to miss out
00:12:11on being a mum.
00:12:11And if we're going to
00:12:13make this thing work,
00:12:14David might have to
00:12:15move to Adelaide.
00:12:16Alyssa, I'm really sorry, babe.
00:12:18I have to ask this to you.
00:12:20You've sat here
00:12:20and you've talked a lot
00:12:21about what your wants
00:12:22and needs are.
00:12:24Mm.
00:12:27What about...
00:12:27Yeah, David.
00:12:30Now back at the apartments,
00:12:32David has had a wake-up call
00:12:34of his own.
00:12:38Oh, man, I'm feeling
00:12:40at my limit
00:12:41post-homestays.
00:12:46Can I see myself
00:12:48living in Adelaide?
00:12:49Absolutely.
00:12:49Absolutely.
00:12:50But, you know,
00:12:51after having, you know,
00:12:52come back to Sydney
00:12:53and having time to just
00:12:55come down
00:12:56from the high of homestays,
00:12:57I am feeling a bit low.
00:12:59And that is because
00:13:00there were a couple things
00:13:01that have still, like,
00:13:04trinkled in the back
00:13:05of my mind.
00:13:06Could you see yourself
00:13:07living here?
00:13:10To be honest, yeah.
00:13:13I know that you're willing
00:13:14to move here,
00:13:16which is great,
00:13:17but I don't know,
00:13:18I feel like I'm getting
00:13:19overwhelmed with it
00:13:20because you're, like,
00:13:21literally on the high
00:13:22spiral.
00:13:23I am, I am, I am,
00:13:24because it's, like,
00:13:25a lot.
00:13:27David actually is
00:13:28everything that you've
00:13:29asked for.
00:13:30I know.
00:13:30Right now,
00:13:31this is too good
00:13:31to be true.
00:13:32Like, and that is
00:13:33also another reason
00:13:34why I'm scared, too.
00:13:36Throughout this
00:13:37experiment,
00:13:38I have been patient
00:13:39because I know
00:13:40there is something
00:13:41in this relationship
00:13:42to fight for,
00:13:43but when you get
00:13:44to that point
00:13:46where, like,
00:13:46you're dealing with,
00:13:47like, the mum,
00:13:48the family,
00:13:49friends,
00:13:49they all said
00:13:50that I'm a great
00:13:51guy for her
00:13:52and she still
00:13:53sees negatives,
00:13:54there's nothing
00:13:55else I can do.
00:13:57I've hit my limit
00:13:58and I'm not going
00:13:59to push any further.
00:14:01It's getting very
00:14:02real that I could
00:14:03potentially be
00:14:05putting everything
00:14:06on the line
00:14:06for someone
00:14:07who doesn't want
00:14:08to meet me
00:14:09halfway.
00:14:10So, today I know
00:14:11I need to be honest.
00:14:13For me,
00:14:13I think it's important
00:14:14to just express
00:14:15how I feel.
00:14:17Looking handsome.
00:14:18Thanks, babe.
00:14:19You're looking gorgeous.
00:14:20I love the dress.
00:14:21Well, we're kind of
00:14:22almost matching.
00:14:25How are you feeling
00:14:26going to the dinner
00:14:27party after homestays?
00:14:31Homestays was a massive,
00:14:32massive week.
00:14:35So, I'm at the point
00:14:36where, like I said,
00:14:38you know,
00:14:38I'm happy to give
00:14:39all the space you need.
00:14:42I'll take the space
00:14:43I need
00:14:43because I definitely
00:14:44need space.
00:14:45Yeah, like I feel like
00:14:46I've just gone
00:14:47and put it all
00:14:47on the line
00:14:50and, you know,
00:14:50at the end
00:14:51I'm not going
00:14:51to force anything.
00:14:55That's the first time
00:14:56I've ever heard you
00:14:57say that you need space.
00:14:59I know, but I do.
00:15:00You never say space.
00:15:01You're always like,
00:15:02you're more like,
00:15:03let's, like,
00:15:03whatever.
00:15:04This is the first time
00:15:05you've ever said space.
00:15:06Yeah, I know.
00:15:08That kind of, like,
00:15:10rattled me a little bit.
00:15:11Normally I'm the one
00:15:12that needs space.
00:15:13So, you know what,
00:15:14if he needs space,
00:15:15gladly,
00:15:16because I need space
00:15:17right now
00:15:18just from my head
00:15:19and I don't need
00:15:19any of this pressure
00:15:20right now.
00:15:21I feel like I'm
00:15:22at my tether.
00:15:23I feel like he's
00:15:24at his tether.
00:15:24We're both tired
00:15:26and he's been snoring
00:15:27louder than usual
00:15:28like it's just been
00:15:29a bit of an emotional
00:15:31rollercoaster.
00:15:32The reason I need space
00:15:33because, yeah,
00:15:34I am a calm person
00:15:35but I'd get into my limit
00:15:37where I just need
00:15:38to take some space
00:15:39for my own brain
00:15:40because I feel like
00:15:41I put my cards
00:15:42on the table
00:15:44but it almost felt
00:15:45like you were just
00:15:45looking for the negatives
00:15:46and when someone's
00:15:48looking for the negatives
00:15:48too much
00:15:49of why things can't work,
00:15:50like, I'm not gonna
00:15:51force that.
00:15:52I'm not gonna force
00:15:52a connection
00:15:53if it's just me
00:15:54looking for the positives
00:15:55and someone else
00:15:56is looking for anything
00:15:57to be like,
00:15:58why this can't work.
00:16:01I would be
00:16:03lying to you
00:16:04if I said I wasn't
00:16:05questioning things
00:16:06right now
00:16:06and questioning
00:16:07our relationship.
00:16:08I am in that headspace.
00:16:11So I'm not
00:16:12going into the dinner
00:16:13party with Alyssa
00:16:14feeling my best self.
00:16:16I'm sure you're
00:16:17in a similar boat.
00:16:18Babe, I'm just
00:16:19as 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
00:16:36of getting up.
00:16:37Let's get out of here.
00:16:37Yep.
00:16:38Let's go.
00:16:42Up to you.
00:16:43After me, thanks.
00:16:45Off 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,
00:17:07the second last one
00:17:09before we wind this all up.
00:17:12And it is a very important one
00:17:13because they've come back
00:17:15from the homestays
00:17:17as they start to get a glimpse
00:17:19of what their life
00:17:20will be like
00:17:20with this person
00:17:21in the real world.
00:17:24This is a really crucial part
00:17:25of the experiment for them
00:17:27because some of them
00:17:27will bond closer together
00:17:30through the homestays.
00:17:31I think it's going to be really good.
00:17:33What about you?
00:17:34Are you excited?
00:17:35I'm excited.
00:17:36Whereas others will start
00:17:37to really fall apart
00:17:38and question their overall compatibility
00:17:40with their matches.
00:17:45It's noisy.
00:17:47They'll hear that
00:17:48in the mics.
00:17:48They'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
00:17:58the ultimate question.
00:17:59Could this relationship last
00:18:01in the outside world?
00:18:03We're going to see you tonight.
00:18:09Aw, first in.
00:18:11First one's in.
00:18:15Rachel and Steve-o.
00:18:16No one to talk to you
00:18:17but 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
00:18:26look so relaxed
00:18:27and so really walking in
00:18:29with Rachel as we are today.
00:18:32Very unified.
00:18:33Tell me when.
00:18:35That's good.
00:18:36Oh, my gosh.
00:18:37Thank you so much.
00:18:39Got to look after you.
00:18:40Aw, 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.
00:18:49Oh, you're going to take that?
00:18:50Okay.
00:18:52It's probably the most relaxed
00:18:53I've ever been in a cocktail party.
00:18:54We're in a good place.
00:18:56Mm.
00:18:57Do you want me to...
00:19:00Do you want me to open it?
00:19:01Is there a real opener?
00:19:01No, definitely.
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.
00:19:13All righty.
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
00:19:29to share how much fun we had
00:19:31and, like, and how good it was.
00:19:35Isn't that nice that a couple
00:19:37is sitting here talking about themselves,
00:19:39not everybody else?
00:19:40Yes.
00:19:41This is great.
00:19:42Check it out, babe.
00:19:44You're going to make me blush.
00:19:46And the enthusiasm...
00:19:47Yeah.
00:19:48..in Rachel's voice and face
00:19:50as she is just excited to tell people the good news
00:19:52they had a good week.
00:20:04Stop rubbing your knee.
00:20:05Oh, me.
00:20:09I'm trying to understand you
00:20:10because I don't understand you.
00:20:11You're confusing the out me.
00:20:13Well...
00:20:28This whole, I'm at my limit.
00:20:30I need space.
00:20:33It sounds really bad.
00:20:35Does it?
00:20:36Yes.
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.
00:20:47OK.
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, it'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!
00:21:22Oh my god!
00:21:23Oh, Alyssa and David.
00:21:25Party football!
00:21:27Oh my god!
00:21:29Hang on.
00:21:30How are you, mate?
00:21:31Dude, that's all I can do.
00:21:32Handshake.
00:21:32Good to see you, bro.
00:21:34Likewise, man, looking good.
00:21:35Oh.
00:21:36That's some energy there, isn't it?
00:21:38Oh, at first!
00:21:39Yeah, at first.
00:21:40You guys at first.
00:21:41We've 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, crying 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, in my head just to sort of figure things out.
00:22:26Um, so I did walk in on a low.
00:22:32Oh, who is it?
00:22:33Hey!
00:22:34Here we go!
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!
00:22:44Look at me some love.
00:22:45Gorgeous!
00:22:49Walking into the cocktail party tonight with Gia, like, you know, we're not perfect.
00:22:53We still have a couple things to work on.
00:22:54Get 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.
00:23:01Do we carry that?
00:23:02Thanks.
00:23:06Right, 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, um, Sam, it was just
00:23:15so yucky and awkward.
00:23:16So, 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.
00:23:24And I could not wait to get out of the car.
00:23:27I just hope this, um, you know, situation with Sam and I can get squashed pretty quickly so I can
00:23:33have 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 and everything was going good and then at some point he
00:23:46just flipped and it all just sort of fell apart and I didn't really know what that flip was into
00:23:51him.
00:23:54Do you know if Sam's coming tonight?
00:23:56Oh, I definitely know he'll be going.
00:23:58Yeah.
00:23:58He wants to go to get the whole group's opinion and two cents on our dirty laundry.
00:24:05Ah, you know what?
00:24:07There's two sides to this story and coming to the dinner party to back myself and say my side of
00:24:12the story.
00:24:25Oh, Chris is alone.
00:24:27Ew, how you going?
00:24:28Okay, that's a surprise.
00:24:30Hi.
00:24:31Hey, bud.
00:24:32So Chris walks in solo.
00:24:35Well, shit.
00:24:37That's not my prediction.
00:24:39Drink, drink, drink, drink, drink.
00:24:41I 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 the homestay, they might be able to turn it around.
00:24:51But this looks like it's actually not been salvaged.
00:24:56Yeah, yeah, I'm alright.
00:24:57You look very tanned.
00:24:58Thanks, babe.
00:24:59The fit's good.
00:25:00The fit's good.
00:25:01My life's not...
00:25:01I would love one.
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.
00:25:07Yes, obviously it didn't work out.
00:25:08Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:25:10I feel like maybe Sam and I can unpack it together.
00:25:13Okay, alright.
00:25:14So you don't want to talk about that?
00:25:15No, I'll give you a little run.
00:25:17I'll give you a little rundown.
00:25:18It's really hard seeing them not walking together because I genuinely had hoped that
00:25:23they would get past this.
00:25:25Seeing Chris walking in by himself, like, it was genuinely, like, pretty heartbreaks.
00:25:31Basically, um, 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?
00:25:40Yeah.
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.
00:25:50Yes.
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.
00:25:59I 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.
00:26:21Wow.
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
00:26:42and get their advice.
00:26:44But like, no ill feelings towards Sam.
00:26:46I respect his decision, but yeah.
00:26:48She's single again.
00:26:50Oh!
00:26:51Yeah.
00:26:52I love you.
00:26:53Yeah.
00:26:55Alyssa, how was yours?
00:26:57Uh, I feel like I'm still processing everything.
00:27:04Yep.
00:27:04It's crunch time, right?
00:27:05It's crunch time.
00:27:06For you guys, yeah.
00:27:09Um, but we'll talk about it later at the dinner party.
00:27:13Okay.
00:27:18Oh!
00:27:18Yeah!
00:27:20Hey!
00:27:21Hey!
00:27:21Phillip and Stella!
00:27:23Hi babe!
00:27:25Hi babe!
00:27:25You look amazing.
00:27:26Hi babe, you look amazing!
00:27:27How you doing?
00:27:28How are you doing?
00:27:28How are you doing?
00:27:29How are you doing?
00:27:29You're looking good at the work, I love you.
00:27:31How are you doing?
00:27:31For the best part, we had a really good homestay, you know?
00:27:34I got clarity so it's been decided.
00:27:37but I will be making that move happen sooner rather than later.
00:27:40He looks tan. 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, it's time to go for an adventure.
00:27:52Oh!
00:27:54I love a distraction.
00:27:57Ah, he's Beck and Danny.
00:27:59Beck and Danny.
00:28:01Hello.
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. How was homestays?
00:28:23Cheers.
00:28:24How'd you go?
00:28:26How was Adelaide?
00:28:27Oh, my good, yeah.
00:28:28We had a great home.
00:28:30Like, I got back and I was a bit drained, to tell you the truth.
00:28:35And it was, it's a lot.
00:28:37Like, I felt a bit uncomfortable in her house and I felt a bit out of place.
00:28:40And it made me just think about, like, the logistics of the move more.
00:28:44Like, how it's going to work.
00:28:46Or, because I'm not just going to move in with her.
00:28:48Of course.
00:28:49And live, like, oh, put my feet up, this is rent-free.
00:28:52Like, that 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 it, I think.
00:29:03Yeah, awesome.
00:29:04Crazy.
00:29:05How about?
00:29:06I think Danny and I are probably the strongest in the experiment, if I'm honest with you.
00:29:11And, 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..has the whole table talking.
00:29:30What are you on about?
00:29:34Oh, my God.
00:29:36Oh, my God.
00:29:48Here 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 with Sam Raimi.
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.
00:30:12I just, yeah, I just can't deal with any more, you know?
00:30:22Yo!
00:30:25Hello, everyone.
00:30:26Oh, here's Sam.
00:30:27Oh, here he is.
00:30:28How you going?
00:30:29Good, how are you?
00:30:30Good to see you.
00:30:30You look nice.
00:30:31Yeah, I am.
00:30:32How are you?
00:30:32Not too bad.
00:30:34Hello.
00:30:37Sam.
00:30:37How are you, Matt?
00:30:38I'm hugging, like, chest height, but I've got a vertical problem.
00:30:43Hey, look at me, brother.
00:30:45Thanks, thanks, thanks.
00:30:45You want me to get a drink?
00:30:46Come on, let's get you a drink.
00:30:46Let's get a drink.
00:30:48I hope he doesn't come at me, like...
00:30:50Why are you worried?
00:30:50Oh, I just...
00:30:51Don't worry.
00:30:52No, I just can't deal with it, like...
00:30:55All right.
00:30:57No, you're okay.
00:30:59How are you?
00:31:00Are you okay?
00:31:02Uh...
00:31:02I just feel a bit like there was no real effort while we were away.
00:31:06But we'll get into it at the table, yeah.
00:31:08No, no, no.
00:31:08He's given us a bit of a brief.
00:31:12What was he saying?
00:31:14Um, that you guys, you know, went to homestays, and, like, he cooked dinner one night, or you
00:31:17guys had dinner together one night, and he thought the first night was going, okay?
00:31:22Um, and then obviously you guys both had a chat and decided that it was a night.
00:31:26Yeah.
00:31:28Dude, he didn't drive.
00:31:31You're eating up his bullshit.
00:31:34Don't eat up his bullshit.
00:31:39Dinner is served.
00:31:41Okay, let's go.
00:31:42Let's go, babes.
00:31:43You got it.
00:31:44Let's go, man.
00:31:47Alrighty.
00:31:49Well, let's hope that now that dinner's about to begin, we will get to the bottom of what
00:31:54actually happened at the homestay between Sam and Chris.
00:31:57Yes.
00:31:57We need to understand what actually went on there.
00:32:00Cheers, guys.
00:32:02Cheers.
00:32:03Cheers.
00:32:08Oh, yeah.
00:32:09You got the, um, you got the tits out again?
00:32:11Oh, yeah.
00:32:14Tits out for the boys.
00:32:15I love you.
00:32:16I love this figure.
00:32:18Go.
00:32:19Yes.
00:32:19Yeah.
00:32:21Busted bottom.
00:32:22Yeah.
00:32:31Wow.
00:32:33It's very tints, isn't it?
00:32:34Chris, Sam.
00:32:44I really want to talk about, from our perspective, what led me to the decision to end things.
00:32:49Yeah.
00:32:49And how I felt the whole homestay, so.
00:32:52Yeah.
00:32:55Tonight is going to be shit.
00:33:00I...
00:33:01Sam and I have already hashed this out at the farm.
00:33:04We're revisiting it in front of the group.
00:33:06So, for me, this is not comfortable.
00:33:09Um, I'm hoping that we can get it out of the way quickly.
00:33:11And I just want to get this over and done with.
00:33:16Hope Sam gets the closure that he needs and we can, um, yeah, move on.
00:33:21I feel like we both just need to say everything that got us to this point.
00:33:25Um, especially with meeting the experts tomorrow, I want to get as much as I can out of this experience.
00:33:31Um, yeah, we've mentioned it at the cocktail party that we, you know, well, you decided to, um, end it.
00:33:38So, um, yeah, like, I didn't...
00:33:40You didn't really fight that at all.
00:33:42You were, like, also just like, OK.
00:33:44Because I, I had given so much to try and make it work.
00:33:48I don't want to come...
00:33:52Oh, my God.
00:33:53Here we go again.
00:33:58If Chris thinks that's loads of effort, I feel sorry for anybody he ends up with in the future.
00:34:03Like, yeah.
00:34:08Can I ask a question?
00:34:11How did Sam end the relationship and where and how did it happen?
00:34:14Could I tell the whole story?
00:34:15I want you guys both to say it.
00:34:19Yeah, so, homestays, obviously you all saw the last commitment ceremony.
00:34:23Um, I wrote, stay and Chris for at leave.
00:34:25And that was really hard for me to battle with personally because I did have feelings for Chris.
00:34:30So, like, obviously now I'm very nervous going into homestays.
00:34:34And we get to the car to drive down and I'm, like, just sitting in the car and it's so
00:34:39uncomfortable.
00:34:40And I'm, I, like, literally just, like, shut my eyes and kind 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 wake up the next morning.
00:34:52And Chris is nowhere to be seen.
00:34:55No message, no note.
00:34:58I'm just there sitting for an hour in his house at his place with no car, just by myself.
00:35:04And then he rocks up.
00:35:05He's, oh, I just went to the gym this morning.
00:35:06It was really windy last night.
00:35:08And I'm, like, okay, cool.
00:35:09And, like, this is when I'm starting to feel, like, are you, 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.
00:35:22Yes.
00:35:25We're not interrupting each other tonight, right?
00:35:29Oh, God.
00:35:30Okay.
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.
00:35:39And this is when I'm, like, this is my last plea here.
00:35:41Like, I'm going to try and see if he really wants to fight for this, if he really wants this
00:35:45relationship to work.
00:35:46Like, and I had written down questions that were all just about what the expert said.
00:35:52Going through all these questions.
00:35:53And then he starts to get a bit shorter with him because he's sick of talking 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, I feel like my feelings
00:36:04are pretty damaged.
00:36:05And, 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?
00:36:19And you were just, like, yeah, I think 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.
00:36:42I tried.
00:36:43I tried, but, like, I know that you were checked out of this relationship already.
00:36:46I know you didn't want to give it a go.
00:36:53If I'm honest, and I have to be honest, it seems like you're putting a lot on Chris.
00:36:59Yep.
00:37:01And 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 being correct.
00:37:19Yep, of course.
00:37:20But hang on a second.
00:37:21Hang on a minute.
00:37:21Hang on a minute.
00:37:22Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold 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.
00:37:31We're a couple of weeks out of final bowels.
00:37:33Don't worry about your man, doll.
00:37:36I'm not going to 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
00:37:46down for a whole week, because the person that he has these feelings for was quite aggressive
00:37:50to him.
00:37:52Like, let's all just take a step back here.
00:37:53Babe, you've been aggressive too at the dinner parties.
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
00:38:17a whole week, because the person that he has these feelings for was quite aggressive to
00:38:22him.
00:38:23Like, let's all just take a step back here.
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?
00:38:40First of all, like, 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?
00:39:09But do you understand with the questions, there are things that were burning inside Sam
00:39:13that he needs answers to?
00:39:14Yeah, cool.
00:39:15I'll keep talking, babes.
00:39:18So I felt uncomfortable, but I stayed calm and I answered the questions as best as I
00:39:24could.
00:39:24But you ended it with me.
00:39:26You said, like...
00:39:27Yeah, I know.
00:39:27Yeah.
00:39:28Can I just say something?
00:39:29The reason I ended it is because I asked Chris, do you still have feelings for me?
00:39:36If you were trying so hard and you thought that everything was what you're saying, then
00:39:41at 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, I
00:39:55know it really hurt you.
00:39:56Like, you were really upset.
00:39:57We could see that.
00:39:58Do you think that that really hurt you to a point where...
00:40:02Had you already made up your mind?
00:40:04I hadn't made my mind.
00:40:04That just hurt me to the point where this is why I think I needed so much from Chris,
00:40:09because I was really hurt that he said he wanted to leave, that he had already given
00:40:12up.
00:40:13So I'm like, I need to see from you that you haven't given up completely.
00:40:15And I get maybe for you what you did was enough, but for me it wasn't.
00:40:19And then I decided that based on the fact that what you did wasn't enough of my expectations,
00:40:23the call happened.
00:40:24I 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, he's got everything
00:40:30else.
00:40:31Then you're not ultimately a good man.
00:40:39It's really upsetting that it hasn't worked out between Sam and Chris, because I care
00:40:44for both boys, but listening to both sides of the story, I'm like, they're not speaking
00:40:51the same language, and they're seeing different things, and I don't think they're going to
00:40:56align tonight.
00:40:59Just unfortunately it hasn't worked, and I don't want this to be yucky, I just want to
00:41:02be 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.
00:41:08Don't mistake passion for anger.
00:41:09I think you're both passionate.
00:41:10It's not yucky, in my opinion.
00:41:12You're both just ironing it out.
00:41:14We do love you both.
00:41:16We love you a lot.
00:41:17Yeah.
00:41:18100%.
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.
00:41:31And it wasn't enough for Sam.
00:41:33It's a hard one.
00:41:43It's a hard one.
00:41:44So, Beck and Danny, how about you guys?
00:41:48You're next.
00:41:49How was your homestays?
00:41:50We 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,
00:42:11oh, your cousin wants to f*** me.
00:42:12I never said that.
00:42:13There's a camera in my f*** 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.
00:42:20Yeah, I'm done.
00:42:21F*** me.
00:42:24Well, we had like two perfect things, and then we had a little argument at the 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
00:42:46partner's home.
00:42:47In that moment, I felt like a bit out of place in the house.
00:42:50Like, up until that point, I felt so comfortable, like, so welcome.
00:42:55Not that I was ever, like, unwelcome, but in that moment, arguing, like...
00:43:00Hardly an argument, a ding-dong, but yeah.
00:43:02Yeah. Or whatever you want to call it.
00:43:07Whilst Danny did call it an argument, Bec called it a ding-dong, so she's wanting to
00:43:10really contain it.
00:43:11Yes.
00:43:12When we had the disagreement at the house, I felt really uncomfortable, because it's not
00:43:15my space, it's your space.
00:43:17Yeah.
00:43:18Do you know what I mean?
00:43:18I don't know if anyone else can...
00:43:19Hope so.
00:43:20Like, yeah, so that was sort of something that stuck with me, in the sense of, like, moving
00:43:26forward.
00:43:26It made me look at things in a different way, in the sense that I'd probably want to...
00:43:32I 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, as a man.
00:43:47I feel like, like, do you know what you mean?
00:43:49Like, it's more Bec's house than it is my house.
00:43:52Yeah, correct.
00:43:53Like, 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
00:44:04move in...
00:44:08Like, we'd 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.
00:44:21Like, yeah, how I fit into it, that's more what I'm saying.
00:44:25And to you right now, you're probably like, that's easy.
00:44:28I know, like...
00:44:29It's just, but, like, I get from Danny's perspective, he's like, I move in, so, like, he's got to
00:44:33get his stuff out.
00:44:34Where does he put his stuff?
00:44:36And we would make space 100% for that.
00:44:39From my point of view, anyway, I suppose everyone looks at it different, but it makes you feel
00:44:43like 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 it makes you feel
00:45:05like 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.
00:45:17Oh, my God.
00:45:18He's talking about feeling emasculated if she was the one who owned the house.
00:45:23And 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, with a $97,000 mortgage and a $3 million
00:45:34house.
00:45:36F*** me.
00:45:41Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:45:42Like, firstly, you'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
00:45:52home in 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 f***ing serious for this?
00:46:04We're in the 2020s.
00:46:08Emasculated by moving into a home with your woman.
00:46:12I'll be honest, I'm going to go to hers.
00:46:13I want to...
00:46:14Just grow up.
00:46:15You like to be a provider.
00:46:17Correct.
00:46:18Correct.
00:46:18Yeah.
00:46:18I'll be honest, I couldn't go to hers.
00:46:20I'm going to buy the house.
00:46:21I'm going to pay for everything.
00:46:22Like, that's just a manly thing.
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 emasculated in the relationship.
00:46:35We're more traditional in that way too.
00:46:37No, but, like, I get it.
00:46:38Like, I have a...
00:46:39My house is bigger than yours, but it's...
00:46:40It's like, yeah, like...
00:46:42It's a 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,
00:46:54but, like, I like that, and that's what me and Scott are doing.
00:46:57So, I do agree with Danny on that.
00:46:59I think he wants to feel like the man,
00:47:02and he has every right to feel like that.
00:47:03I feel like it's emasculating.
00:47:05Like, I get what you're saying.
00:47:06Correct, yeah, yeah.
00:47:07You want your place to be, like, here, babe.
00:47:08Like, come to me.
00:47:09Like, 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,
00:47:18and it sort of...
00:47:18It made me feel demasculated to, like, be in her house.
00:47:21Yeah, like a bit of a bitch.
00:47:23I've had that discussion with Beck two or three times.
00:47:26I'm not a hit 1990s song on R&B radio
00:47:30that keeps repeating itself.
00:47:31Do you know what you mean?
00:47:32I didn't feel uneasy until we had the disagreement with the man.
00:47:35I was just like, do you know what you mean?
00:47:37No, I don't know what you mean, Danny.
00:47:39I do wonder if Danny's showing a little insecurity there.
00:47:43You know, I think some men would not see a barrier
00:47:47to moving into a house owned by the woman.
00:47:49It wouldn't feel emasculating.
00:47:51He's really dropped the ball here.
00:47:54And I'm old school too.
00:47:55I'm exactly the same.
00:47:56I can proudly say it as well
00:47:57that if me and Rachel do something,
00:48:00I would feel more comfortable
00:48:01if Rachel moved into my place,
00:48:04feel like a provider.
00:48:05Well, I don't think that's very fair
00:48:07because at the end of the day,
00:48:08the difference is that I've got a massive house
00:48:11with 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.
00:48:16I feel like you're a team.
00:48:18A hundred percent.
00:48:19I was brought up on those values.
00:48:20That's just the way I think.
00:48:21If I moved badly, I'd be getting lost.
00:48:23Yeah.
00:48:24Props over.
00:48:25But I think that's why there's so many, like, I guess...
00:48:27Really?
00:48:28Unmet expectations.
00:48:29I wouldn't, yeah.
00:48:30But I wouldn't, like, you would get away together.
00:48:32Do you know what I mean?
00:48:32I know we work together,
00:48:33but as a man, it's just something I do.
00:48:36As a man, maybe I'm old school like that,
00:48:39but I believe, like, the man should be the man of the house
00:48:41and take care of the big bills.
00:48:44It's nice to have your own thing,
00:48:45but ultimately you work together, right?
00:48:47Exactly, yeah.
00:48:48Ultimately, you work together.
00:48:49It's about how can we work together,
00:48:51how can we make this work?
00:48:52What are your needs, you know, vice versa?
00:48:55It doesn't have to be a demasculating thing.
00:48:57It just has to be teamwork.
00:48:59Like you're a team.
00:49:00No, you're a team.
00:49:02For some reason, it's just a mental thing.
00:49:05It just works like that.
00:49:08Females feel more secure when it is like that.
00:49:11It's just how it is.
00:49:12Unfortunately, it's a double set.
00:49:13It's just how it is.
00:49:14Guys don't have that problem.
00:49:16Yeah.
00:49:18I understand where Danny's coming from.
00:49:20Don't agree with it,
00:49:21but I understand where Danny's coming from.
00:49:25Beck and Danny's homestay,
00:49:26I don't think was as great as they made it out to be.
00:49:30There's something not right there.
00:49:32This is a serious conversation you guys need to have.
00:49:35Yeah, I know.
00:49:36For a dinner party.
00:49:39Shut up.
00:49:41Excellent.
00:49:43So glad we're talking about it with everyone.
00:49:46Oh, goodness.
00:49:48No, I said it to you already.
00:49:50Not to that level, babes.
00:49:51I have.
00:49:51I 100% have.
00:49:53No.
00:50:02Still to come.
00:50:04I 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,
00:50:14but 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 you having been that open.
00:50:26It's in a lot of relations.
00:50:28It's just made me that whole table of people.
00:50:31Before hindsight.
00:50:40How about you?
00:50:41Alyssa.
00:50:43How was yours?
00:50:47Um...
00:50:47Do you know what?
00:50:49Alyssa 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.
00:51:06Like, I did get in my head.
00:51:08Because, you know, as soon as we touched down in Adelaide,
00:51:11I felt like this weight.
00:51:16I felt like, oh my goodness, I, you know, I said I was going to move to Sydney
00:51:20and, like, we're going to make this thing work in Sydney and 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 12 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.
00:52:15A lot came out of homestays, but it's just like, how do we move, like, forward?
00:52:19But 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.
00:52:29When 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.
00:52:41David's going, look, I'm willing to sacrifice everything and move down to Adelaide to give this relationship the best chance.
00:52:47But her retracting and pulling away from Dave, freaking Dave out.
00:52:51I felt, you 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.
00:53:02And, like, he does ground me, but maybe I'm finding a little bit sometimes too much where I feel like
00:53:08I'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.
00:53:18I've had, like, lack of sleep the last three months.
00:53:20Like, it's just, it's a compiling thing.
00:53:25I feel like right now Alyssa is trying to look for any little thing she can pull from the sky
00:53:32to 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, but her throwing all these doubts, there's only so much I
00:53:43can take before 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 homestay.
00:53:56We've been on this experiment for two months, and it's been long enough for her to, like, be a bit
00:54:02more certain.
00:54:03You know, if this ultimately isn't going to work, I'm not going to force anything.
00:54:07Like, it's up to her to come from her head into her heart for this to work long term.
00:54:14Dave, what's going through your head, bro?
00:54:22I've hit my wall.
00:54:23I've been calm throughout this whole thing, but I'm at my limit.
00:54:28You know, and I sort of need that mental space as well, just as much as she probably needs it
00:54:32from 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 mom and her two best friends.
00:54:48And I've got her mom saying, this is all good for you.
00:54:50Her friend saying, this is good for you.
00:54:52They 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.
00:55:12And I know that they talk about it in relation to the experiment.
00:55:17But actually, you know, the experiment for some people, it 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.
00:55:30We got cracks.
00:55:30But 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?
00:55:38No.
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.
00:55:45We are going to need to ask about the homestays and 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.
00:56:05Is that right?
00:56:06I've had the producers from Aussie Shore reach out and see what I do this season three with them.
00:56:11Gotcha.
00:56:12All right.
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.
00:56:25We're documenting your life on Flex.
00:56:27If this is where your life goes, you know.
00:56:30Mate, it's entirely up to you.
00:56:31If you decide that you want to pursue it further, I can talk to them and see whether we can
00:56:35capture some of the journey.
00:56:40Gosh, mate, I've already, so I obviously have blocked my parents in there on social media, so they didn't see
00:56:45my escorting videos.
00:56:48And then it took two days and they've seen them because a friend had gone and seen them and been
00:56:52like, 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 and I'm also going to go on Aussie
00:57:01Shore.
00:57:03All right.
00:57:04You're on Flex.
00:57:05You're an escort.
00:57:06And then you're going to go on Aussie Shore.
00:57:08It's a big wake for Marcus.
00:57:09I'm on a busy three days this week, mate.
00:57:11Yeah, it's, it's, I don't know if it's going downhill or uphill.
00:57:13I can't quite decide.
00:57:30How are your homesteads, guys?
00:57:32I went out on his Harley.
00:57:34Like, I grew up there, so I'm, I'm like, I went to school there.
00:57:37I had my first kiss there.
00:57:38I did this there.
00:57:39And 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 it's pretty big for us to have.
00:57:45That's amazing.
00:57:45Yeah, it's really good.
00:57:47The taste of the outside world, you know what I mean?
00:57:49Like, we know.
00:57:50Yeah.
00:57:51So what's your plan of a truck, guys, after the experiment?
00:57:55I do like Cronulla.
00:57:57Yeah.
00:57:57Yeah.
00:57:58That's good.
00:57:58I could see myself there.
00:57:59That was very important.
00:58:00That's, that's, that's the whole point of it.
00:58:01That's great.
00:58:01The home visit, it'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, yeah.
00:58:07Just give it a go, like, and that was a realisation I had.
00:58:10And you have a plan moving forward.
00:58:12And, like, you guys are great.
00:58:14Yeah.
00:58:16Rachel and Stephen, homestays.
00:58:18Hey, guys.
00:58:19Who's talking?
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?
00:58:26I reckon, I agree.
00:58:28I think Steve-O can go first.
00:58:29I'll go first.
00:58:30I always talk.
00:58:31Yep.
00:58:32Can you hear me down there?
00:58:33Yeah.
00:58:33Yeah, boys.
00:58:34Loud and clear.
00:58:35All right.
00:58:35So, look, I'm happy to say that Rachel 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 and took Rachel out on the boat
00:58:49and she got to experience a little, you know,
00:58:52a little snapshot of what my life is about and what I'm passionate about.
00:58:56So I took her out fishing and I can definitely say 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 of the day.
00:59:07She's a catch.
00:59:07That's right.
00:59:08The catch of the day, right here.
00:59:09Amen.
00:59:10And, look, I was very impressed with her fishing skills.
00:59:13She kissed a couple fish.
00:59:15I did.
00:59:16But I'm looking at this woman going, look, it's not just that she's leaning into fishing.
00:59:20It'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, Rachel 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 with Rachel
00:59:42making sure that we can take this out onto the outside and have somewhere to start because it's been done
00:59:51and dusted.
00:59:52I'm still going to meet her side, but I feel more confident on my side that Rachel and my family
00:59:56and my lifestyle will match now.
00:59:58So, we had a good time.
01:00:00That's a day.
01:00:01Thank you, Paul.
01:00:06Who would have thought?
01:00:08Who would have thought?
01:00:11Hearing Stephen talk about our homestay and, like, the beautiful things he was saying, yeah.
01:00:16You sound emotional.
01:00:18I am emotional.
01:00:19I'm so emotional about it because I've got this guy that I truly, truly care about.
01:00:27And I'm developing such strong feelings for her and every time he talks about us with the group and everything,
01:00:35it's beautiful.
01:00:36It's just so nice and 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.
01:00:53My guy bought me a fishing rod.
01:00:54I know.
01:00:55I'm just saying.
01:00:57I was happy.
01:00:58Your girl's got her first fishing rod.
01:01:01Oh, Rachel 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.
01:01:15Yeah.
01:01:15He's really transformed.
01:01:17But watching him now is just such a joy and he's so comfortable in her space.
01:01:23Look, we went through hard times at the start of our relationship.
01:01:26You all saw it.
01:01:28And you know what?
01:01:30We've just saw it.
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!
01:01:40Well done.
01:01:42Rachel and Steve-o.
01:01:55At the dinner table tonight, Danny, we said that he would feel like a bitch moving into
01:02:05a girl's house, I hadn't heard that yet.
01:02:09And like, I would hope that my husband knows that he can talk to me.
01:02:14Like, we talk about everything.
01:02:16So, yeah.
01:02:20I feel blindsided by him.
01:02:25I feel completely utterly betrayed by my husband.
01:02:32They got dragged back into the drama.
01:02:37And we've got them.
01:02:39Mavs royalty, Jamie and DiBinica.
01:02:43The 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, as a man, it makes you feel like a bit of a bitch
01:03:03moving
01:03:04in with a woman.
01:03:13I've never experienced a slow burn in my life.
01:03:16And here I am with a slow burn, and like I said, we went for a hard yard earlier, and
01:03:23now we're so strong because of that.
01:03:25And so...
01:03:26Is that too bad?
01:03:27Yeah.
01:03:27Yeah, 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.
01:03:36Coming out of the experiment, yeah, before home stage.
01:03:39Frankly, Danny, time and time again, has not stepped up and made the commitment that
01:03:44she wants and craves.
01:03:45She's been transparent.
01:03:47Yeah.
01:03:47He hasn't said that he loves her back.
01:03:50He'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.
01:03:56That Bec's starting to worry about when it comes to Danny's level of commitment.
01:04:00Yes.
01:04:00And rightly so.
01:04:02I mean...
01:04:06The idea that you basically just said, if I was to move to Adelaide, I don't know
01:04:15if I'd want to move into my house.
01:04:17I was just saying, I didn't want...
01:04:18I was just saying, I would have rather you had said that to me before announcing it to
01:04:23a table of people.
01:04:24I didn't say that.
01:04:26I was just saying we have to, like, I'd put money into a house and we'd renovate it
01:04:30where I'd pick up the mortgage.
01:04:31Because we're just moving on how it is.
01:04:33We've made the goods emasculated.
01:04:35Yeah.
01:04:35Okay.
01:04:36I'm excited.
01:04:37Because I was like, I said just then, I'm like, but only 50% of us are not still good
01:04:40at me.
01:04:41And I was like, well, my side.
01:04:43So for my side, that's what you're saying, my side.
01:04:45Because 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, oh, 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, they'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
01:05:25the group of women.
01:05:27Hello.
01:05:28Hello, ladies.
01:05:30Welcome to your hens night.
01:05:33Not to make comparisons between men and women and who does it better.
01:05:37Wow.
01:05:37I just hope that there's some insight here with the ladies that, yes, in the future, you
01:05:41are going to be in contact with other women who have strong personalities.
01:05:45Have strong judgements about you or 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.
01:06:05That we empower each other.
01:06:08I'm so excited.
01:06:09This is amazing.
01:06:12That we don't compete with each other.
01:06:18That 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.
