00:00:00It's with great sadness and heavy heart that today the Mavs family lost a colleague and a dear friend, Mel
00:00:09Schillen.
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.
00:00:38She 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.
00:01:47I'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.
00:02:18You want to have a family, you 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.
00:03:04I can see we can do life together, but I feel a lot more confident now that we can take
00:03:09this 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.
00:04:15After 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.
00:04:24Recharged and hopeful, the couples now turn their attention to the second last dinner party
00:04:30of the experiment, eager 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.
00:04:42We don't know what the hell is going on.
00:04:45It's going to be exciting.
00:04:47A lot of gossip.
00:04:49This is...
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.
00:04:54Really?
00:04:55How come?
00:04:55We went through...
00:04:57The ups and downs.
00:04:58We went through the ups and downs.
00:04:58The trenches.
00:05:00But coming out at the end of it, good.
00:05:02Yeah.
00:05:02You know?
00:05:03Everything's...
00:05:03Everything is exactly where it needs to be.
00:05:06For Rachel and Stephen, homestays sparked a breakthrough in their marriage, unlocking a new confidence
00:05:12in 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.
00:05:25It 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 and get straight back up to the central coast
00:05:34and just, you know, start hanging out and, yeah, so it was really good.
00:05:40We had such a great homestay and I'm actually just really excited to share that with everyone.
00:05:46And that's it.
00:05:47I'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.
00:05:58Like I said to Rachel, can I see myself falling in love with you?
00:06:03Yes, I can.
00:06:04And I mean that.
00:06:05And homestays really gave me confidence in that.
00:06:09I think we're really lucky.
00:06:11You 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, for Scott, welcoming Gia into his home presented new challenges.
00:06:28What's that?
00:06:30It's a neck brace.
00:06:31Why is it pink?
00:06:32Why is it pink?
00:06:33Why not?
00:06:34You're trying to find a problem.
00:06:36Is it your ex?
00:06:37Gab and Maria.
00:06:38Do 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 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
00:07:05the 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
00:07:11that 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
00:07:18done for homestays.
00:07:20Yeah.
00:07:20At 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.
00:07:39This 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?
00:07:49Well, pretty 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, me too.
00:08:07For Beck 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.
00:08:19They would.
00:08:20I think obviously because Danielle fancied me, she didn't want to, like.
00:08:26I'm joking.
00:08:28I'm joking.
00:08:29It's like a serious moment.
00:08:32These moments make me feel like shit.
00:08:35It's serious for me.
00:08:37You should be able to say something nice and be genuine about it and then not say, oh, your cousin
00:08:41wants to fuck me.
00:08:43Like.
00:08:44I never said that.
00:08:45Yeah.
00:08:45I'm done.
00:08:46Fuck me.
00:08:47Fuck me.
00:08:48Fuck me.
00:08:49Fuck me.
00:08:51Fuck me.
00:08:51And now back at the apartment, an even bigger shock awaits.
00:09:00So since we got back to Sydney from homestays, things are great.
00:09:06Cheers, 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, it frustrated me, he got frustrated with me, and then we wake up the next
00:09:19morning, we give each other a cuddle, we have a shag, and 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, homestays brought them together, but for one couple, it marked the end of the road.
00:09:39Going to the dinner party tonight, yeah, I'm going alone.
00:09:42And 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...
00:09:56Do 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.
00:10:08I 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?
00:10:21Um, okay, um, in the beginning, uh, yes.
00:10:26But 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.
00:10:50But I'm going to the dinner party because I want that last chance to sort of just, like, find out
00:10:56why Chris actually didn't want this relationship.
00:11:01I just want clarity on what the hell happened.
00:11:04But 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 about you. I'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.
00:11:44I don't think you've got a couple of years to wait.
00:11:49It's really stressful now.
00:11:51It's a lot online.
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.
00:12:11And if we're going to make this thing work, David might have to move to Adelaide.
00:12:16And Alyssa, 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...
00:12:27Yeah, David.
00:12:30Now back at the apartments, David has had a wake-up call of his own.
00:12:37Oh, man, I'm feeling at my limit post-homestays.
00:12:46Can I see myself living in Adelaide?
00:12:48Absolutely.
00:12:49But, 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.
00:13:17But, I don't know, I feel like I'm getting overwhelmed with it because you're, like, literally...
00:13:21Is you overwhelmed?
00:13:23I am, I am, I am.
00:13:24Because 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.
00:14:45Yeah, 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.
00:14:58I 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, if he needs space, gladly, because I need space right now, just from my head,
00:15:19and I don't need any of 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, and 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
00:15:45for 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,
00:15:55and someone else is looking for 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.
00:16:25Mm-hmm.
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.
00:16:45Off to the gallows we go.
00:16:51Don'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.
00:17:33What 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.
00:17:44Stop rubbing it in.
00:17:45Okay.
00:17:45It's noisy.
00:17:47They'll hear that in 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 the ultimate question.
00:17:59Could this relationship last in the outside world?
00:18:02We're going to see you tonight.
00:18:10Aw, first in.
00:18:11First one's in.
00:18:15Rachel and Steve-o.
00:18:16No one to talk to you, but ourselves.
00:18:18Are 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 as he is tonight.
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.
00:18:42Me and Rachel, we're good.
00:18:44We've walked into the cocktail party.
00:18:45We'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.
00:18:52Probably the most relaxed I've ever been in a cocktail party.
00:18:54We're in a good place.
00:18:56Mm-hmm.
00:18:57Do you want me to...
00:19:00Do you want me to open it?
00:19:01Is there a real opener?
00:19:04Got it?
00:19:04There 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 to share how much fun we had.
00:19:31And, like, and how good.
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.
00:19:44You're going to make it flush.
00:19:45And the enthusiasm 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.
00:19:55Oh!
00:19:56Oh!
00:19:58Oh!
00:20:03Stop rubbing your knee.
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.
00:20:13Well...
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.
00:20:47Okay.
00:20:52Oh, look who it is.
00:21:01Oh, look who it is.
00:21:20Oh, my God!
00:21:21Oh, my God.
00:21:23Oh, Alyssa and David.
00:21:25Oh, my God!
00:21:26Oh, my God!
00:21:27Oh, my God!
00:21:28Oh, my God!
00:21:28Oh, my God!
00:21:29Hang on.
00:21:29How are you, mate?
00:21:31Dude, that's all I can do.
00:21:32Oh, you're very good to see you, bro.
00:21:33Likewise, you're looking good.
00:21:35Oh.
00:21:36That's some energy there, isn't it?
00:21:38Oh, we're first.
00:21:39We're first.
00:21:40You guys are first.
00:21:40We got so much done.
00:21:41Oh, my God.
00:21:42Oh, yeah, we've got a lot to evaluate.
00:21:44Let's just get some, uh...
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.
00:22:17Right 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
00:22:23know, in my head, just to sort of figure things out.
00:22:26Um, so I did walk in on a low.
00:22:32Oh!
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?
00:22:38Little...
00:22:41How pretty are you both?
00:22:43Hi!
00:22:44Oh, Gia.
00:22:44Give me some love.
00:22:45Gorgeous!
00:22:46Hello!
00:22:46How are you, man?
00:22:47Thank you, man.
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.
00:22:54Get a drink and get in here, brother.
00:22:57I 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.
00:23:06Alright, 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, 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.
00:23:23And I could not wait to get out of the car.
00:23:26I just hope this, um, 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 knife.
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,
00:23:45and then at some point he just flipped, and it all just sort of fell apart,
00:23:48and I didn't really know what that 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.
00:23:58He wants to go to get the whole group's opinion and two cents on our dirty laundry.
00:24:06Uh, you know what, there's two sides to this story,
00:24:08and coming to the dinner party to back myself 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!
00:24:25Oh!
00:24:26Chris is alone.
00:24:27How are you going?
00:24:28Oh, good.
00:24:29Okay, 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.
00:24:40Drink.
00:24:40Drink.
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,
00:24:50but this looks like it's actually not been salvaged.
00:24:55The brown porch.
00:24:56Yeah, I'm alright.
00:24:57You look very tan.
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, 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.
00:25:06Yes, obviously it didn't work out.
00:25:08Wait, no, no, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:25:11I feel like maybe Sam and I can unpack it together.
00:25:13Okay, alright.
00:25:14You 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,
00:25:20because I genuinely had hope that they would get past this.
00:25:25Seeing Chris walking in by himself, like, it was genuinely, like,
00:25:29pretty 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, yeah.
00:25:40He ended it with you?
00:25:41Yeah.
00:25:42Oh, Sam ended it.
00:25:44I wonder why.
00:25:45Yes, I wonder why.
00:25:47Obviously, we had, like, a, you know, 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, that's what you said about it.
00:25:56So I went into homestays, trying to turn it around.
00:25:59Gia knows I spoke with you about it.
00:26:00Yeah.
00:26:01Morning flowers, made him dinner.
00:26:02I tried everything that I could to turn it around,
00:26:04but unfortunately, yeah, it didn't work for us.
00:26:07And it was really, it was a real shock,
00:26:09because I thought we were actually doing quite well.
00:26:10Like, you know, I started to get those feelings back for him again, so.
00:26:13So Chris was saying he started getting feelings for Sam again.
00:26:17Okay, so he was shocked by it.
00:26:20Blindsided.
00:26:22So, it's pretty, it's pretty sad, 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.
00:26:31We were just going to leave it at that,
00:26:32because we unpacked a lot of it.
00:26:34Um, but I've decided to give Sam the respect of coming tonight,
00:26:37so we can both talk to you guys about it.
00:26:39And, um, let you know what's happened,
00:26:41and then sit in front of the experts and 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.
00:26:49Oh, yeah!
00:26:52I love you.
00:26:53Yeah.
00:26:55Alyssa, how was yours?
00:27:00Uh...
00:27:01I feel like I'm still processing everything.
00:27:04It's crunch time, right?
00:27:05It's crunch time.
00:27:05For you guys, yeah.
00:27:09Um, but we'll talk about it later at the dinner party.
00:27:12Okay.
00:27:21Phillip and Stella.
00:27:23Hi, babe.
00:27:24Hi.
00:27:25You look amazing.
00:27:26How's it going?
00:27:26How are you doing?
00:27:28How are you doing?
00:27:28How are you doing?
00:27:29How are you doing?
00:27:29How are you doing?
00:27:30How are you doing?
00:27:31For the best part, we 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.
00:27:40He looks tan.
00:27:41Do you know spray tan?
00:27:43Huh?
00:27:43Do you know spray tan?
00:27:44No, no, we went to the beach.
00:27:45What the hell?
00:27:46And I just thought, you know what?
00:27:47Like, 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.
00:28:02Hiya.
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.
00:28:12Cheers.
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.
00:28:24Cheers.
00:28:24How'd you go?
00:28:25How was Adelaide?
00:28:27Oh, my good.
00:28:27Yeah.
00:28:28We had a great time.
00:28:29It was good.
00:28:30Aw.
00:28:31Aw.
00:28:32Like, I got back and I was a bit drained, to tell you the truth.
00:28:35It was...
00:28:36It's a lot.
00:28:37Like, I felt a bit uncomfortable in that 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...
00:28:46Because I'm not just going to move in with that.
00:28:48Of course.
00:28:48And live, like, oh, put my feet up.
00:28:51This is brand 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...
00:29:01Yeah.
00:29:02We're going to do it, I think.
00:29:03Yeah, awesome.
00:29:03Crazy.
00:29:05Mother.
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.
00:29:21...Danny's jaw-dropping confession...
00:29:24From my point of view, anyway, I suppose everyone looks at it different, but...
00:29:27Yeah.
00:29:27...it makes you feel like a ****.
00:29:28...has the whole table talking.
00:29:30What are you on about?
00:29:32I'll be honest.
00:29:34Oh.
00:29:34Oh, God.
00:29:35Oh, my God.
00:29:48Here we go.
00:29:54When did you talk to him last week?
00:29:56Um, 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 Rani.
00:30:06Yeah, I don't know what Dan and she's 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?
00:30:25Hello, everyone.
00:30:25Oh, here's Sam.
00:30:27Oh, here he is.
00:30:28How are you going?
00:30:29Good, how are you?
00:30:30Good.
00:30:30Good.
00:30:30You look nice.
00:30:31Yeah.
00:30:31How are you?
00:30:32Not too bad.
00:30:33Hello.
00:30:36Sam?
00:30:37How are you, Matt?
00:30:38I'm hugging, like, chest height, but I've got a vertical problem.
00:30:43Hey, Luke.
00:30:44Look at this thing.
00:30:44Thanks, thanks, thanks.
00:30:45Can I get a drink?
00:30:46Come on, let's get your drink.
00:30:46Let's get a drink.
00:30:47I hope he doesn't come at me, like.
00:30:49Why are you worried?
00:30:50Oh, I just, just...
00:30:51Don't worry.
00:30:52No, I just can't deal with it, like.
00:30:55Alright.
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, he's given us a bit of a brief.
00:31:12What was he said?
00:31:14Just...
00:31:14Um, that you guys, you know, went to homestays.
00:31:16Like, he cooked dinner one night, or you guys have dinner together one night,
00:31:18and he thought the first night was going, okay?
00:31:22Um, and then obviously you guys both had a chat and decided that it wasn't right.
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.
00:31:42Let's go, baby.
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,
00:31:52we will get to the bottom of what actually happened at the homestay between Sam and Chris.
00:31:56Yes.
00:31:57We 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?
00:32:11Oh, yeah.
00:32:14Tits out for the boys.
00:32:15I love you.
00:32:16I love this for you.
00:32:18Dough.
00:32:19Yes.
00:32:19Yes.
00:32:21Bust the butter, please.
00:32:22Yeah.
00:32:31Wow.
00:32:32It's very tense, 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.
00:32:49Yep.
00:32:49And how I felt the whole homestay, so.
00:32:52Yeah.
00:32:55Tonight is going to be shit.
00:33:01I, Sam and I have already hashed this out at the farm.
00:33:04Um, we'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.
00:33:16I hope 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.
00:33:26Um, especially with meeting the experts tomorrow, I want to get as much as I can out of this
00:33:29experience.
00:33:31Um, yeah, we've mentioned it at the cocktail party that we, you know, well, you decided
00:33:36to, um, end it.
00:33:38So, um, yeah, like I, I didn't.
00:33:40You didn't really fight that at all.
00:33:42You were like, also just like, okay.
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.
00:33:57If Chris thinks that's loads of effort, I feel sorry for anybody he ends up with in
00:34:02the 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.
00:34:18Yeah.
00:34:19Yeah.
00:34:19So homestays, obviously you all saw the last commitment ceremony.
00:34:23Um, I wrote stay and Christopher leave.
00:34:25And that was really hard for me to battle with personally because I did have feelings for
00:34:30Chris.
00:34:30So I like, obviously now I'm very nervous going into homestays.
00:34:33And 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 and Chris is nowhere to be seen.
00:34:55No message, no note.
00:34:58And I'm just there sitting for an hour in his house at his place with no car, just by
00:35:04myself.
00:35:04And then he rocks up.
00:35:05He's like, oh, I just went to the gym this morning.
00:35:06It was really windy last night.
00:35:07And 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, um, we come to the fire the next night and this is when I'm like, this is my
00:35:40last
00:35:40plea 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.
00:35:46And I had written down questions that were all just about what the expert said, going
00:35:52through 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
00:36:04feelings are 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
00:36:29for me.
00:36:33What I honestly feel like happened is that you just like did the bare minimum, got me flowers
00:36:39so 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.
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.
00:37:00And just because we have expectations to fill our cup fully doesn't mean this other person
00:37:06is 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.
00:37:20Hang on a minute.
00:37:21Hold 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
00:37:45down 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.
00:37:53Babe, you've been aggressive too at the dinner parties.
00:37:57I get this.
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.
00:38:11Sam sat there in tears by himself, not knowing which way was up and which way was down for
00:38:17a whole week.
00:38:18because the person that he has these feelings for
00:38:20was quite aggressive to him.
00:38:23Like, let's all just take a step back.
00:38:24But, babe, you've been aggressive too at the dinner parties.
00:38:29You're in no position to be giving someone feedback
00:38:31about their behaviour, honey,
00:38:33so 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,
00:38:43I 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
00:39:01and then asked me the questions.
00:39:03And I just, for me, I felt like, you know,
00:39:06like, 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,
00:39:10there are things that were burning inside sound
00:39:13that he needs answers to?
00:39:14Yeah, cool. I'll keep talking, babes.
00:39:18So I felt uncomfortable, but I stayed calm
00:39:21and I answered the questions as best as I could.
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,
00:39:33do you still have feelings for me?
00:39:36If you were trying so hard
00:39:38and you thought that everything was what you're saying,
00:39:41then at that point you should have said,
00:39:42Sam, yes, I have feelings for you.
00:39:48Can I ask a question?
00:39:50Do you feel like when Chris said leave
00:39:53the other week at the last commitment, sir,
00:39:55I know 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.
00:40:05That just hurt me to the point where...
00:40:06No?
00:40:06Chris's wife, 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.
00:40:12So I'm like,
00:40:13I 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,
00:40:18but for me it wasn't.
00:40:19And then I decided that based on the fact
00:40:21that what you did wasn't enough of my expectations,
00:40:23the caller 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,
00:40:28because 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
00:40:42between Sam and Chris
00:40:43because I care for both boys,
00:40:45but listening to both sides of the story,
00:40:48I'm like...
00:40:50They're not speaking the same language
00:40:52and they're singing different things
00:40:54and I don't think they're going to align tonight.
00:40:58Just, unfortunately, it hasn't worked.
00:41:00I 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.
00:41:09I think you're both passionate.
00:41:10It's not yucky, in my opinion.
00:41:11You're both just ironing it out.
00:41:14We do love you both.
00:41:15We love you a lot.
00:41:17Yeah.
00:41:18100%.
00:41:18Kings.
00:41:19I think it's really sad
00:41:21what's happened with Sam and Chris.
00:41:22I love them as people
00:41:23and I love them together.
00:41:25And I'm getting this feeling of like,
00:41:27Chris did try.
00:41:29The way he knew how.
00:41:30And 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
00:41:57to have hard conversations with you,
00:42:00they would.
00:42:01I think obviously
00:42:02because Danielle fancied me.
00:42:06I'm joking.
00:42:07You should be able to say something nice
00:42:09and be genuine about it
00:42:10and 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***ing face
00:42:14and you're abusing me over a joke.
00:42:16Dude,
00:42:17there's a camera in my face
00:42:18and you're making a joke
00:42:19of what I'm saying.
00:42:20Yeah, I'm done.
00:42:21F*** you at the point.
00:42:22F*** me.
00:42:24Well, we had like a,
00:42:25like,
00:42:26two perfect things
00:42:28and then like the time,
00:42:29we had a little argument
00:42:30at the end.
00:42:33We had a tiny little ding-dong
00:42:34at the end.
00:42:37It lasted about 15 minutes.
00:42:40I think like for me,
00:42:41I don't know for anyone else
00:42:43who experienced like
00:42:44going into your partner's home.
00:42:47In that moment,
00:42:48I felt like a bit out of place
00:42:49in the house.
00:42:50Like up until that point,
00:42:51I felt so comfortable,
00:42:53like so welcome.
00:42:55Not that I was ever like unwelcome,
00:42:57but in that moment,
00:42:59arguing like...
00:43:00Hardly an argument,
00:43:01a ding-dong,
00:43:01but yeah.
00:43:03Or whatever you want to call it.
00:43:06I don't know.
00:43:07Whilst Dani did call it an argument,
00:43:08Bec called it a ding-dong,
00:43:10so she's wanting to really contain it.
00:43:11Yes.
00:43:12When we had the disagreement
00:43:13at the house,
00:43:14I felt really uncomfortable
00:43:15because it's not my space,
00:43:16it's your space.
00:43:17Yeah.
00:43:18Do you know what I mean?
00:43:18I don't know if anyone else can...
00:43:19I would say.
00:43:20Yeah, so that was sort of something
00:43:22that stuck with me
00:43:23in the sense of like,
00:43:25moving forward.
00:43:26It made me look at things
00:43:28in a different way
00:43:29in the sense that
00:43:31I'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,
00:43:38how the logistics of it
00:43:40would look as a man...
00:43:43Oh, as a man.
00:43:47I feel like...
00:43:48Do you know what you mean?
00:43:49Like, it's more Bec's house
00:43:50than it is my house.
00:43:52Like moving into her house.
00:43:52Yeah, correct.
00:43:53Like, I'd want to sit down
00:43:54and speak to Bec
00:43:55on a deeper level about that.
00:43:59Because like,
00:44:00I feel like
00:44:00if you move in
00:44:01with a woman
00:44:03and like,
00:44:03I would never just move in.
00:44:07Like, we'd have to talk about that
00:44:09on a deeper level
00:44:09in the sense that like...
00:44:12I'm not moving out of my house.
00:44:16No, I'm not asking you to,
00:44:17but what I'm saying is like...
00:44:19It's how he fits into it, babe.
00:44:21Yeah, how I fit into it.
00:44:23That's more what I'm saying.
00:44:25And to you right now,
00:44:26you're probably like,
00:44:27that's easy.
00:44:28I know, like...
00:44:29It's just,
00:44:29but like,
00:44:30I get from Danny's perspective,
00:44:31he's like,
00:44:32I move in,
00:44:33so like,
00:44:33he's got to get his stuff out.
00:44:34Where does he put his stuff?
00:44:36And we would make space
00:44:37100% for that.
00:44:39From my point of view,
00:44:40I suppose everyone looks at it different,
00:44:41but it makes you feel like
00:44:43a bit of a bitch
00:44:43moving in with a woman.
00:44:45What are you on about?
00:45:01From my point of view,
00:45:02I suppose everyone looks at it different,
00:45:04but it makes you feel like
00:45:05a bit of a bitch
00:45:06moving in with a woman.
00:45:11What?
00:45:11Are you on about?
00:45:13Oh, no,
00:45:14that's not what I was getting at.
00:45:15Oh, God.
00:45:17Oh, my God.
00:45:18He's talking about
00:45:19feeling emasculated
00:45:20if she was the one
00:45:22who owned the house.
00:45:23And let's not use the term
00:45:25bitch in that way either, Danny.
00:45:27Not cool.
00:45:28We're on 800 square metres
00:45:29five minutes from the city
00:45:31with a $97,000 mortgage
00:45:33and a $3 million house.
00:45:36F*** me.
00:45:41Whoa, whoa, 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
00:45:49to make sure that we've got this
00:45:51multi-million dollar home
00:45:52in the most affluent suburb
00:45:54of South Australia.
00:45:56So, yeah,
00:45:57you're not going to be a bitch
00:45:57moving 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
00:46:08by moving into a home
00:46:10with your woman.
00:46:12I'll be honest,
00:46:13I'll be going to hers.
00:46:14Let's grow up.
00:46:15You like to be a provider.
00:46:17Correct.
00:46:18Correct, yeah.
00:46:18I'll be honest,
00:46:19I 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,
00:46:28the boss,
00:46:29the alpha male.
00:46:30So, I understand where Danny's coming from.
00:46:31He just wants to feel more
00:46:32masculated in the relationship.
00:46:35We're more traditional
00:46:36in that way too.
00:46:37No, but like,
00:46:38I get it.
00:46:38Like, I have a,
00:46:39my house is bigger than yours,
00:46:40but it's like,
00:46:41yeah, like,
00:46:42it's a different vibe.
00:46:43I do agree with Danny.
00:46:45I think for a man
00:46:47to feel masculine
00:46:48and his masculine energy,
00:46:49they want to have the house
00:46:50and the woman move into it.
00:46:52I know that's not, like,
00:46:53the norm these days,
00:46:54but, like, I like that.
00:46:55And that's what me and Scott
00:46:56are 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
00:47:02to 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.
00:47:06You want your place to be like,
00:47:08here, babe,
00:47:08like, come to me.
00:47:09Like, I'm,
00:47:10I'm the man.
00:47:11Like, I think that's like
00:47:12where you're coming from.
00:47:13Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
00:47:15I felt uncomfortable
00:47:17when we argued
00:47:17and it sort of,
00:47:18it made me feel demasculated
00:47:19to, like, be in her house.
00:47:21Yeah, like a bit of a bitch.
00:47:23I've had that discussion
00:47:24with Beck two or three times.
00:47:26I'm not a hit,
00:47:27hit 1990s song
00:47:29on R&B radio
00:47:30that keeps repeating itself,
00:47:31do you know what you mean?
00:47:32I didn't feel uneasy
00:47:33until we had the disagreement
00:47:35with the man.
00:47:35I was just like,
00:47:36do you know what you mean?
00:47:37No, I don't know
00:47:38what you mean, Danny.
00:47:39I do wonder
00:47:40if Danny's showing
00:47:41a little insecurity there.
00:47:43You know,
00:47:43I think some men
00:47:45would not see a barrier
00:47:47to moving into a house
00:47:48owned 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
00:47:59do something,
00:48:00I would feel,
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
00:48:06that's very fair
00:48:07because at the end of the day,
00:48:08the difference is
00:48:09that I've got
00:48:10a massive house
00:48:11with a lot of space
00:48:12five 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.
00:48:18I was brought up
00:48:19on those values.
00:48:20That's just the way I think.
00:48:21If I moved badly,
00:48:22I'd be getting married.
00:48:23Yeah.
00:48:24Prost over.
00:48:24No.
00:48:25I don't think that's
00:48:26how it's so good to be,
00:48:26like, I guess...
00:48:27Really?
00:48:28Unmeted.
00:48:29I wouldn't, yeah.
00:48:30But I wouldn't like,
00:48:31you would get to work together.
00:48:31Yeah.
00:48:32I know we work together,
00:48:33but as a man,
00:48:34it's just what we want to do.
00:48:36As a man,
00:48:37maybe I'm old school like that,
00:48:39but I believe, like,
00:48:39the man should be
00:48:41the man of the house
00:48:41and take care of
00:48:42the big bills.
00:48:44It's nice to have
00:48:44your own thing,
00:48:45but ultimately
00:48:46you work together, right?
00:48:47Exactly, yeah.
00:48:48Ultimately, we're lost.
00:48:49It's about
00:48:50how can we work together,
00:48:51how can we make this work,
00:48:52what are your needs,
00:48:53you know, vice versa.
00:48:55It doesn't have to be
00:48:56a demasculating thing,
00:48:57it just has to be teamwork.
00:48:59It's true to that.
00:49:00No, you're a team.
00:49:02For some reason,
00:49:03it's just a mental thing.
00:49:05It's just,
00:49:06it just works like that.
00:49:08Females feel more secure
00:49:09when it is like that.
00:49:11It's just how it is.
00:49:12Unfortunately,
00:49:12it's a double set.
00:49:13It's just how it is.
00:49:14Gays don't have that problem.
00:49:16Yeah.
00:49:18I understand
00:49:19where Danny's coming from,
00:49:20don't agree with it,
00:49:21but I understand
00:49:22where Danny's coming from.
00:49:25Beck and Danny's homestay,
00:49:26I don't think,
00:49:27was as great
00:49:27as they made it out to be.
00:49:30There's something,
00:49:31there's something not right there.
00:49:32This is a serious conversation
00:49:34you guys need to have.
00:49:35Uh, yeah, I know,
00:49:36for a dinner party.
00:49:39You don't like shut up.
00:49:41Excellent.
00:49:43So glad we're talking
00:49:44about 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, 100%.
00:50:02Still to come.
00:50:04I did spiral a little bit.
00:50:06Dave, what's going
00:50:07through your head, bro?
00:50:08David finally finds his voice.
00:50:11I've hit my wall.
00:50:12I've been calm
00:50:13throughout this whole thing,
00:50:14but I'm at my limit.
00:50:16This is really
00:50:17a relationship in peril.
00:50:19Yeah.
00:50:20Before Beck confronts Danny.
00:50:23I would have appreciated
00:50:24you having been that open
00:50:26as I'm a school for a year.
00:50:27It's been a lot of relations.
00:50:28It's just maybe
00:50:29that whole table of people.
00:50:31Before Himes does it.
00:50:40How about you?
00:50:41Alyssa.
00:50:42How was yours?
00:50:44Um.
00:50:48Do you know what?
00:50:49Alyssa and David
00:50:50really have not spoken
00:50:51about themselves at all.
00:50:53No.
00:50:53And that is not usual for them.
00:50:55David looks quite
00:50:56uncomfortable, actually.
00:50:58Yeah.
00:51:00I feel like
00:51:02we 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,
00:51:09as soon as we touched down
00:51:10in Adelaide,
00:51:11I felt like
00:51:13this weight
00:51:16I felt like
00:51:17oh my goodness
00:51:18I, you know,
00:51:19I said I was going to move
00:51:20to Sydney
00:51:20and, like,
00:51:21we're going to make
00:51:21this thing work in Sydney
00:51:22and we'll meet halfway
00:51:23but I have a lot of
00:51:24responsibilities in Adelaide.
00:51:27I have contracts in place.
00:51:28I have my business.
00:51:29I have a house.
00:51:30I have a cat.
00:51:31But I'm almost 34
00:51:33and in the next few years
00:51:34I want to start a family.
00:51:35So I kind of put pressure
00:51:37on myself
00:51:38and that's where
00:51:39I started to spiral
00:51:40on homestays
00:51:40because I was like
00:51:41shit, this is not going to work.
00:51:44Like, I don't think
00:51:45I'm going to be able
00:51:45to stretch myself
00:51:46out of Adelaide
00:51:47like in the next three months.
00:51:49It might look like
00:51:50six to 12 months
00:51:51if we're going to make
00:51:52this work in the real world.
00:51:58Beforehand,
00:51:58you were saying
00:51:59potentially you'd give it
00:52:00three months
00:52:00to move to Sydney.
00:52:02Is it the move
00:52:03to Adelaide now?
00:52:04Well, that's what
00:52:04it would probably be.
00:52:09It would be Adelaide,
00:52:10yeah.
00:52:11Oh.
00:52:12We haven't heard
00:52:13that from her before.
00:52:14A lot came out
00:52:15of homestays
00:52:16but it's just like
00:52:17how do we move
00:52:18like forward?
00:52:19But I feel like
00:52:20the way that we process
00:52:21things are very different
00:52:22and I'm wondering
00:52:24why am I spiralling?
00:52:25You know,
00:52:25we're all under pressure
00:52:26but some people
00:52:27also deal with pressure
00:52:28differently.
00:52:29When I need
00:52:29to just process
00:52:30my mind's going
00:52:31bing, bing, bing, bing.
00:52:33I retract.
00:52:35Things have kind of
00:52:37turned on its head
00:52:37a little bit.
00:52:38Alyssa's now saying
00:52:39I can't move.
00:52:41David's going
00:52:41look I'm willing
00:52:42to sacrifice everything
00:52:43and move down
00:52:44to Adelaide
00:52:45to give this relationship
00:52:46the best chance
00:52:47but her retracting
00:52:48and pulling away
00:52:49from Dave,
00:52:50freaking Dave out.
00:52:51You know,
00:52:52I sort of felt
00:52:52for Dave a little bit.
00:52:53If anything,
00:52:54all the risk is on David.
00:52:56And there was
00:52:57one other thing.
00:52:59I know that I can
00:53:00be a bit full on
00:53:02and like he does
00:53:04ground me
00:53:05but maybe I'm finding
00:53:06a little bit
00:53:07sometimes too much
00:53:08where I feel like
00:53:08I'm not myself.
00:53:11Like it's really
00:53:12shifting my energy
00:53:13and that's not
00:53:15something I'm used to.
00:53:16My husband also snores
00:53:17so I've had like
00:53:18lack of sleep
00:53:19the last three months.
00:53:20Like it's just,
00:53:21it's a compiling thing.
00:53:25I feel like right now
00:53:27Alyssa is trying
00:53:28to look for any
00:53:29little thing
00:53:30she can pull
00:53:31from the sky
00:53:33to question things
00:53:34in the relationship
00:53:35and that is
00:53:36pushing me away.
00:53:37She says
00:53:37she doesn't want
00:53:38to push me away
00:53:39but her throwing
00:53:40all these doubts
00:53:41there's only so much
00:53:43I can take
00:53:43before I start
00:53:44feeling like
00:53:45an idiot.
00:53:46You know?
00:53:47I think I was fine
00:53:48with just continuing
00:53:50to be that emotional
00:53:53shoulder to lean on
00:53:54until home stays.
00:53:56We've been on this
00:53:57experiment for two months
00:53:58and it's been long enough
00:54:00for her to like
00:54:01be a bit more certain.
00:54:03You know,
00:54:03if this ultimately
00:54:04isn't going to work
00:54:05I'm not going to force
00:54:07anything.
00:54:07Like it's up to her
00:54:08to come from her head
00:54:09into her heart
00:54:10for this to work
00:54:11long term.
00:54:14Dave, what's going
00:54:15through your head, bro?
00:54:22I've hit my wall.
00:54:23I've been calm
00:54:24throughout this whole thing
00:54:25but I'm at my limit.
00:54:28You know,
00:54:28and I sort of need
00:54:29that mental space
00:54:30as well
00:54:31just as much
00:54:31as she probably needs
00:54:32it from coming back
00:54:33from home stays
00:54:35and it's something
00:54:35we both need
00:54:36but it's at the point
00:54:37emotionally
00:54:38I don't have much
00:54:39to give.
00:54:39I'm invested
00:54:40in this relationship.
00:54:41I am prepared
00:54:42to move
00:54:43for this relationship
00:54:43but for me
00:54:44I bonded with her mum
00:54:46and her two best friends
00:54:47and I've got her mum
00:54:49saying this is all
00:54:50good for you
00:54:50her friend saying
00:54:51this is good for you.
00:54:51I really love David
00:54:52a lot.
00:54:54So I'm just like
00:54:56what other green checks
00:54:58do you need
00:54:58ticked off?
00:54:59Like, you know?
00:55:04Well this is David
00:55:05being really raw
00:55:06isn't it?
00:55:07I mean he's saying
00:55:08that he's exhausted
00:55:09and also
00:55:10he's hit his limit
00:55:12and I know
00:55:13that they talk
00:55:14about it
00:55:15in relation
00:55:16to the experiment
00:55:17but actually
00:55:18you know
00:55:19the experiment
00:55:19for some people
00:55:20it brings them
00:55:21closer right now
00:55:22and I get
00:55:23some real worries
00:55:24that he's started
00:55:25to step back.
00:55:27We got cracks man.
00:55:28We've got cracks
00:55:29like everyone.
00:55:29We got cracks.
00:55:30But that's something
00:55:31that you know
00:55:32we will talk
00:55:33to the experts about.
00:55:35We actually
00:55:36haven't seen them
00:55:36in this state
00:55:37before have we?
00:55:39I'd say
00:55:40absolutely more
00:55:40questions than
00:55:41answers we got
00:55:42tonight.
00:55:43So that's where
00:55:44we've got to go
00:55:44tomorrow night.
00:55:46We are going to
00:55:47need to ask
00:55:48about the
00:55:49homestays
00:55:50and particularly
00:55:51where they see
00:55:52themselves in the
00:55:53future.
00:55:54This is really
00:55:55a relationship
00:55:56in peril.
00:55:57Yeah.
00:56:02It sounds like
00:56:02you've been
00:56:03approached by
00:56:03some producers
00:56:04to do another
00:56:05show.
00:56:05Is that right?
00:56:06Other producers
00:56:06from Aussie
00:56:07Shore
00:56:09reach out
00:56:09and see
00:56:09would I do
00:56:10the season
00:56:10three with
00:56:11them?
00:56:11Gotcha.
00:56:12I had one
00:56:13of the female
00:56:14cast members
00:56:15slide into my
00:56:16DMs like
00:56:16four or five
00:56:17days ago
00:56:17and I think
00:56:18it's come
00:56:18from there.
00:56:19Yeah.
00:56:20Is that
00:56:20something you
00:56:20want me to
00:56:21go and do
00:56:21or?
00:56:22My job is not
00:56:23to advise you
00:56:24on what to
00:56:24do or what
00:56:25not to do
00:56:25but documenting
00:56:26your life on
00:56:27flex if this
00:56:28is where your
00:56:28life goes.
00:56:30It's entirely
00:56:30up to you.
00:56:31If you decide
00:56:32that you want
00:56:32to pursue it
00:56:33further I can
00:56:33talk to them
00:56:34and see whether
00:56:35we can capture
00:56:36some of the
00:56:36journey.
00:56:40Gosh.
00:56:41Mate.
00:56:41I've already
00:56:42so I obviously
00:56:43have blocked my
00:56:43parents in on
00:56:44social media so
00:56:44they didn't see
00:56:45my escorting
00:56:47videos and
00:56:48then it took
00:56:48two days and
00:56:49they've seen
00:56:50them because a
00:56:51friend had gone
00:56:51and seen them
00:56:52and been like
00:56:52have you seen
00:56:53what Marcus is
00:56:53doing in
00:56:53Australia and
00:56:54they obviously
00:56:54had no idea so
00:56:55I'm just dealing
00:56:56with that at the
00:56:56moment and I
00:56:57think to drop
00:56:57the bombshell
00:56:58that yes I'm
00:56:59an escort and
00:56:59I'm also going
00:57:00to go on
00:57:00Aussie show.
00:57:04Alright you're
00:57:04on facts you're
00:57:05an escort and
00:57:06then you're going
00:57:06to go on Aussie
00:57:07show it's a big
00:57:08wake Marcus.
00:57:09I've had a busy
00:57:09three days this
00:57:10week mate yeah
00:57:11it's I don't know
00:57:12if it's going
00:57:12downhill or uphill
00:57:13I can't quite
00:57:14decide.
00:57:30How are your
00:57:31homestays guys?
00:57:32I went out on
00:57:33his Harley like I
00:57:34grew up there so
00:57:35I'm like I went to
00:57:36school there I had
00:57:37my first kiss there
00:57:38I did this there
00:57:38and it's like it's
00:57:39not like a foreign
00:57:40place for me.
00:57:41Yeah it's just easy
00:57:42the fact that she's
00:57:42lived there before.
00:57:43So that was pretty
00:57:44big for us to have.
00:57:45That's amazing.
00:57:45Yeah it was really
00:57:46good.
00:57:46The taste of the
00:57:47outside world you
00:57:49know what I mean
00:57:49like.
00:57:50We know.
00:57:50Yeah.
00:57:51So what's your
00:57:51plan on the
00:57:52track guys after
00:57:54the experiment?
00:57:55I do like
00:57:55Cronulla.
00:57:57Yeah.
00:57:57That's good.
00:57:58I could see
00:57:58myself there.
00:57:59That's very
00:57:59important.
00:58:00That's the whole
00:58:01point of it.
00:58:01The home visit
00:58:02it's like can I
00:58:03see myself there?
00:58:04Yes I can.
00:58:05Let's just do it.
00:58:06Just give it a go
00:58:07yeah.
00:58:07Just give it a go
00:58:08like and that was
00:58:09a realisation I had.
00:58:10And you have a plan
00:58:11moving forward
00:58:12and like.
00:58:13You guys are
00:58:14great.
00:58:14Yeah.
00:58:16Rachel and
00:58:17Stephen homestays.
00:58:18Hey guys.
00:58:19Who's talking?
00:58:20You can talk.
00:58:22Captain Steve-o.
00:58:23I reckon Rachel
00:58:24go first and I'll
00:58:25I reckon Steve-o
00:58:26go first please.
00:58:26I reckon I agree.
00:58:27I think Steve-o
00:58:28can go first.
00:58:29I'll go first.
00:58:29I always talk.
00:58:31Yep.
00:58:32Can you hear me
00:58:32down there?
00:58:33Yeah.
00:58:33Yeah boy.
00:58:34Loud and clear.
00:58:34Alright so look
00:58:36I'm happy to say
00:58:37that Rachel and
00:58:39my family did get
00:58:39along.
00:58:40Everyone loves
00:58:40each other.
00:58:41A lot of the
00:58:41drinks were flowing
00:58:42everything was
00:58:43fantastic.
00:58:44And yeah we had a
00:58:45really good time and
00:58:46took Rachel out on
00:58:47the boat and she
00:58:49got to experience a
00:58:51little you know a
00:58:52little snapshot of
00:58:53what my life is
00:58:54about and what I'm
00:58:55passionate about.
00:58:56So I took her out
00:58:57fishing and I can
00:58:59definitely say very
00:58:59impressed with Rachel
00:59:01she full on
00:59:02She's a country girl.
00:59:02Full on leaned in.
00:59:04She's a catch.
00:59:05I am the catch of
00:59:07the day.
00:59:07She's a catch.
00:59:07That's right the
00:59:08catch of the day
00:59:08right here.
00:59:10And look I was
00:59:12very impressed with
00:59:12the fishing skills.
00:59:13She kissed a
00:59:14couple fish but I'm
00:59:16looking at this
00:59:17woman going look it's
00:59:18not just that she's
00:59:19leaning into fishing
00:59:20it's more the fact
00:59:21that I'm seeing a
00:59:22woman there that is
00:59:24having a crack and
00:59:25I can see that
00:59:27outside fishing
00:59:29Rachel will have
00:59:30my back in things.
00:59:35I can see we can
00:59:36do life together
00:59:37but I feel a lot
00:59:38more confident now
00:59:39that the foundation
00:59:39has been laid on my
00:59:40side anyway with
00:59:41Rachel that we can
00:59:43take this out onto
00:59:44the outside and have
00:59:49somewhere to start
00:59:50because it's been
00:59:50done and dusted.
00:59:52I'm still going to
00:59:52meet her side but I
00:59:54feel more confident
00:59:55on my side that
00:59:55Rachel and my family
00:59:56and my lifestyle will
00:59:57match now.
00:59:58So we had a good
00:59:59time.
00:59:59That's incredible!
01:00:06Who would have
01:00:06thought?
01:00:08Who would have
01:00:08thought?
01:00:10Hearing Stephen
01:00:11talk about our
01:00:12homestay and like
01:00:13the beautiful things
01:00:14he was saying?
01:00:15Yeah.
01:00:16You sound emotional.
01:00:18I am emotional.
01:00:19I'm so emotional
01:00:20about it because
01:00:23I've got this guy
01:00:24that I truly, truly
01:00:25care about and I'm
01:00:27developing such
01:00:28strong feelings for
01:00:30and every time he
01:00:32talks about us with
01:00:33the group and
01:00:34everything, it's
01:00:35beautiful.
01:00:36It's just so nice
01:00:37and what an amazing
01:00:41journey and opportunity
01:00:42we've had.
01:00:44and the fact that we
01:00:45get to be with each
01:00:46other is just even
01:00:47better.
01:00:50Some guys are going
01:00:51to buy girls flowers.
01:00:52My guy bought me a
01:00:53fishing rod.
01:00:55I'm just saying.
01:00:57I was happy.
01:00:58Your girl's got her
01:00:59first fishing rod.
01:01:01Rachel looks so
01:01:02happy.
01:01:04Look at Stephen's
01:01:05smile.
01:01:06We've never seen him
01:01:07smile like this.
01:01:08We've never seen him
01:01:09as relaxed and as
01:01:11confident as he has
01:01:12been tonight.
01:01:13That was a full-bodied
01:01:14smile.
01:01:15He's really
01:01:16transformed but
01:01:18watching him now is
01:01:19just such a joy and
01:01:20he's so comfortable in
01:01:22her space.
01:01:23Look, we went
01:01:24through hard times at
01:01:25the start of our
01:01:26relationship.
01:01:26You all saw it.
01:01:28And you know
01:01:29what?
01:01:29We've just soared
01:01:31and you know
01:01:32we're now hitting
01:01:32weeks where it
01:01:34should test us
01:01:35and instead it's
01:01:36strengthening us
01:01:37and it's really
01:01:37nice.
01:01:38I love it.
01:01:39Yay!
01:01:40You love it.
01:01:41Well done.
01:01:43Rachel and
01:01:44Steve-o.
01:01:55At the dinner
01:01:56table tonight
01:01:57Danny we said
01:01:58that he would
01:02:03feel like a bitch
01:02:04moving into a
01:02:05girl's house.
01:02:06I hadn't heard
01:02:08that yet.
01:02:09And like I would
01:02:11hope that my husband
01:02:12knows that he can
01:02:13talk to me.
01:02:14Like we talk about
01:02:14everything.
01:02:16So yeah.
01:02:20I feel blindsided by
01:02:21him.
01:02:24I feel completely
01:02:26utterly betrayed by my
01:02:27husband.
01:02:32They got dragged
01:02:34back into the drama
01:02:36and we've got them.
01:02:39mass royalty
01:02:40Jamie and Dominica.
01:02:43The spiciest
01:02:44sofa showdown
01:02:45plus the footage
01:02:47you won't believe.
01:02:49After the dinner party
01:02:51tonight.
01:02:57If I was to move to Adelaide
01:03:00as a man
01:03:02it makes you feel like a bit
01:03:03of a bitch moving in with a woman.
01:03:13I've never experienced a slow burn
01:03:15in my life.
01:03:17And here I am with a slow burn
01:03:18and like I said
01:03:20we went through hard yards
01:03:22earlier and now we're so strong
01:03:24because of that.
01:03:25I said to you about it.
01:03:27Yeah.
01:03:27But not to that level.
01:03:28I think I would have appreciated
01:03:30you having been that open
01:03:32in the school community.
01:03:32It's in a lot of relations.
01:03:34It's just made me
01:03:35that much more confident
01:03:36out of the experiment
01:03:37before home stage.
01:03:39Frankly Danny
01:03:39time and time again
01:03:40has not stepped up
01:03:42and made the commitment
01:03:43that she wants
01:03:45and craves.
01:03:46She's been transparent.
01:03:47He hasn't said
01:03:48that he loves her back.
01:03:49He's now saying
01:03:50I don't want to live
01:03:51in your house.
01:03:53So there's a number of things
01:03:54that are now adding up.
01:03:55Yeah.
01:03:55That Beck's starting
01:03:56to worry about
01:03:57when it comes to Danny's
01:03:58level of commitment.
01:03:59Yes.
01:04:00And rightly so.
01:04:02I mean
01:04:06the idea that
01:04:07like that
01:04:08it
01:04:09like
01:04:10that you
01:04:11like you basically
01:04:12just said
01:04:12if I was to move
01:04:14to Adelaide
01:04:14I don't know
01:04:15if I'd want to move
01:04:16into my house.
01:04:17I was just saying
01:04:18I didn't
01:04:18I would have rather
01:04:21that you had said
01:04:22that to me before
01:04:22announcing it to a tape
01:04:23of people.
01:04:24I didn't say that
01:04:25I was saying
01:04:26we have to like
01:04:28I'd put money
01:04:29into a house
01:04:30and we'd renovate it
01:04:30or I'd pick up
01:04:31the mortgage
01:04:31because we're just
01:04:32moving it
01:04:33and now it is
01:04:33would make the
01:04:34good to emasculate it.
01:04:35Yeah.
01:04:49I think Beck revealed
01:04:51how hard
01:04:51that conversation
01:04:52was for her
01:04:53you know
01:04:54when she said
01:04:55here we are
01:04:55having this conversation
01:04:56in front of everyone
01:04:57she felt really
01:04:58uncomfortable
01:04:58and I think
01:04:59after the dinner
01:05:00tonight
01:05:00they'll be going
01:05:01home for
01:05:02quite a big
01:05:02conversation.
01:05:21OK so the purpose
01:05:22of this conversation
01:05:23is to talk about
01:05:24what's been happening
01:05:25within the group
01:05:26of women.
01:05:27Hello!
01:05:28Hello ladies!
01:05:30Welcome to your
01:05:31hens night.
01:05:33Not to make
01:05:34comparisons between
01:05:35men and women
01:05:35and who does it better
01:05:36Wow.
01:05:37I just hope that
01:05:38there's some insight
01:05:39here with the ladies
01:05:40that yes
01:05:40in the future
01:05:41you are going to be
01:05:42in contact with
01:05:43other women
01:05:43who have strong
01:05:44personalities
01:05:45have strong
01:05:46judgements about
01:05:47you
01:05:47or opinions
01:05:49about you
01:05:53but that doesn't
01:05:54mean that you
01:05:54have to play
01:05:55dirty
01:05:56as a woman
01:05:57I think it's
01:05:57important that
01:05:58we support
01:05:59each other
01:06:03love that
01:06:05that we
01:06:06empower each

01:06:12that we don't
01:06:13compete with
01:06:14each other
01:06:17that we
01:06:18give other
01:06:19women an
01:06:19opportunity to
