00:00:01I have to pay you, sorry.
00:00:03Previously, an emotionally charged commitment ceremony...
00:00:06I'm out, I'm out.
00:00:08...saw Gia make an abrupt exit, blindsiding Scott.
00:00:12Where is she?
00:00:13She's gone.
00:00:15No, she's not.
00:00:18What do you mean?
00:00:19And while most of our couples made significant progress...
00:00:23I could just feel our relationship start, like, take this trajectory.
00:00:27It was really connecting.
00:00:30He made business, yeah.
00:00:31We broke the friend zone.
00:00:33So we're out of the friend zone, I was like, right?
00:00:35Yeah.
00:00:35Proud mama.
00:00:37I'm falling for them.
00:00:38Melissa, how does that feel to hear that?
00:00:40It's really nice.
00:00:42Like, it's really nice.
00:00:44Then, I don't think this experiment is for me.
00:00:47A snuff decision saw Juliet end her marriage to Joel...
00:00:51...before she made one final parting shot...
00:00:54...exposing Beck for sending scathing text messages.
00:00:58I have screenshots of what you've said about Alyssa and David.
00:01:04It was vile.
00:01:22So tonight, Juliet felt passionate enough to send me the receipts...
00:01:28...that she was going to show the experts about the language that was used behind my back.
00:01:36Mine and David's back.
00:01:38And I can tell you right now that what I just read was disgusting.
00:01:45I'm actually pretty dumbfounded.
00:01:49Like, I thought there were going to be some nasty messages, but not that sort of language.
00:01:54Disgusting was sickening.
00:01:59It's all here.
00:02:02Wow.
00:02:13It's a brand new day in the experiment.
00:02:16And this morning, the mood is light for some of our couples.
00:02:20Good morning.
00:02:22Morning.
00:02:22Cappuccino extra chocolate.
00:02:24What a man, what a man, what a mighty good man.
00:02:27Do I look sexy?
00:02:28Yeah.
00:02:29You're giving, like, hate me like one of your French girls kind of vibes.
00:02:33Do I have less clothes on, though?
00:02:35Yes, you do.
00:02:38Cheers.
00:02:39Cheers.
00:02:39Cheers.
00:02:40Cheers to a productive commitment ceremony.
00:02:44Yeah, it was very productive.
00:02:45It was very good.
00:02:46Philip and I, we feel great.
00:02:48Like, we're back in our love bubble after our couch session.
00:02:52Last night's commitment ceremony uncovered some previously unseen insecurities for Stella.
00:02:58Philip has shared to you that he's falling in love with you.
00:03:01What specifically did that feel like for you, hearing that?
00:03:06It felt, it felt, this can't be true.
00:03:10And a distance grew between the couple.
00:03:14How is the physical intimacy with one another?
00:03:18It's just not happening.
00:03:23I'm not on any birth control, and he's terrified for an accident to happen.
00:03:29So I was like, I was like, maybe just do a snip.
00:03:35But despite the challenges, their ability to self-reflect...
00:03:40I don't want to push him away, but, like, that's what kind of happens in the background.
00:03:45...brought them back together.
00:03:48Him dropping, you know, the I love you really spooked me, scared me.
00:03:53But to understand that he's still choosing to, like, hey, like, let's get back on track.
00:03:59It's confirming, you know, that stability that he can offer me.
00:04:03It's a lot, you know?
00:04:04So, yeah, I know.
00:04:05Great T-shirt, eh?
00:04:08She keep that on.
00:04:09I know.
00:04:10She tattooed that on you for you.
00:04:11Why just wear a T-shirt?
00:04:13Hands the T-shirts.
00:04:17Yeah, look, but I appreciate you being patient with me.
00:04:20It's fine, no hard feelings, and that was yesterday, and then this morning or today, we're just fresh.
00:04:26I'm definitely a love.
00:04:27I hug.
00:04:28I just, I hug, you know?
00:04:30So, yeah, it's good to be back on track.
00:04:32And if that commitment ceremony was, if it was anything to go by, it makes me appreciate what Stella and
00:04:37I have got going on.
00:04:38All in all, I think that, that ceremony was very productive.
00:04:41It was worthy.
00:04:42It was good, and I'm glad that the perspective is out of question.
00:04:46Yeah.
00:04:47Balls are going to be intact.
00:04:49Nothing's happening there.
00:04:50Oh, wrong.
00:04:52As some couples revel in their progress, it's a different story for others, following last night's intense commitment ceremony, which
00:05:01ended with a dramatic disappearance of one of the brides.
00:05:06I'm going to get to the toilet.
00:05:07I have to pee.
00:05:10I have to pee, sorry.
00:05:13No, I've got to pee.
00:05:16I want to go home.
00:05:20Where is she?
00:05:22She's gone.
00:05:26No, she's not.
00:05:29What do you mean?
00:05:30She grabbed her stuff before and she asked for an Uber.
00:05:36And after leaving Scott alone and confused, Gia returned to the apartments last night.
00:05:45You're good?
00:05:46Yep.
00:05:47Everyone good, Gia?
00:05:52I walked out of the commitment ceremony because it was a lot.
00:05:58In the screenshot drama, it kind of just all spiraled and I had to remove myself.
00:06:03And I didn't tell Scott because he pissed me off.
00:06:07You know, we had our couch session.
00:06:09We managed to get through it, but I was, like, inside, like, not okay with it.
00:06:14Him not being on the same page in terms of the love thing.
00:06:18So, have you fallen in love with him?
00:06:21I'm not saying that, John.
00:06:23What are you waiting for?
00:06:24Him.
00:06:26Yeah, because I feel like he knows where I'm at and I need him to say it first, to be
00:06:32honest.
00:06:34For me, like, I don't know what it is.
00:06:36Like, I don't know whether I'm scared or it's fear.
00:06:39I don't know what it is.
00:06:43And when Scott returned home from the commitment ceremony last night, Gia revealed her feelings to him.
00:06:51Right now, I'm a bit numb, confused.
00:06:57Don't know how I feel.
00:06:58I don't know.
00:07:00Because, like, Gia's a beautiful person and I like her so damn much.
00:07:05I thought our relationship is on a really good level and I just...
00:07:10I don't know what more to give to show that I care about her and that I'm in this experience
00:07:14for her.
00:07:15Like, I'll be honest, I feel like you just don't realise how much I really like you.
00:07:27I feel gross that I feel more than you do and it's just made me feel a bit, um, stupid,
00:07:34to be honest.
00:07:35Do you hear what you're saying, Gia?
00:07:37This is how I feel, yeah.
00:07:38Do you feel stupid that you liked me more than I like you?
00:07:41Can't you just let me go at my own pace?
00:07:45I don't want to look like I'm too in and someone isn't.
00:07:50So, no.
00:07:51Like, you need to come...
00:07:53You need to come step up as well.
00:07:55Um, I don't want to get to final vows.
00:07:58Feeling this way about someone and you say,
00:08:00Oh, you're my soulmate.
00:08:01Yeah, I'm falling in love with you for weeks and then you don't get there.
00:08:04Then to me, it feels like you played me a bit.
00:08:07Okay.
00:08:08This is the problem.
00:08:09That's what it sounds like.
00:08:11That's how I'm interpreting it.
00:08:12How do you feel like I'm playing you when every single day you and I sit down and we plan
00:08:16our future outside this experiment?
00:08:18We've been looking on properties to rent together.
00:08:21We've been looking at what we're going to do with your daughter, putting it in school.
00:08:23Does that not show commitment to the relationship, Gia?
00:08:26I need to say I love you.
00:08:28That's what you're telling me.
00:08:29I'm getting so pressured right now in this environment.
00:08:31I'm not pressuring you.
00:08:32You are.
00:08:33No, I don't want you to say it anymore, Scott.
00:08:37I'm not going to sit here and beg for love.
00:08:38I'm not that person.
00:08:40I'm never going to be that kind of girl.
00:08:41I'm sorry.
00:08:43I'm just not like that.
00:08:45I can't be in love with somebody who's in love with me.
00:08:47That's just not going to happen.
00:08:49And if he feels like he's blindsided by that, so be it.
00:08:52If you're not in love, buddy, just say it.
00:08:55Just say it's you, darling.
00:08:57I don't... I'm not in love with you.
00:08:59I'm not going to respond to the way you're talking to me right now.
00:09:01You don't need to blame...
00:09:04Listen to how you're talking to me.
00:09:06It is what it is.
00:09:08Just... I don't understand any more.
00:09:11At the end of the day, I've got to protect myself.
00:09:12And if you're not there, then I'm leaving.
00:09:17Anyways, I'm going to go for a walk.
00:09:41I don't know.
00:09:43It makes me emotional to think that this can really tear apart very quickly.
00:09:49Like, why not just let me take my time because I'm falling?
00:09:52But this stuff doesn't make me fall.
00:09:55It makes me concerned.
00:09:56It makes me retract.
00:09:58It makes me doubt.
00:09:59It makes me fear.
00:10:05It does not make sense.
00:10:06I'm so freaking confused.
00:10:12I don't know what to do anymore.
00:10:17Meanwhile...
00:10:18Our other couples are still shocked
00:10:20by Juliet's revelation of the text sent by Beck.
00:10:24These bloody text messages, they've caught everyone by surprise.
00:10:28I think Gia just always keeps pushing about how she's out of the drama.
00:10:32Keeps making a point that she's so over it.
00:10:34I couldn't believe... I was really taken aback by all of that.
00:10:37We've got a plethora of words in the English language.
00:10:41There's no use to use nasty ones to express how you're feeling.
00:10:47But down the hall,
00:10:49Beck is squarely laying the blame on Gia.
00:10:53Gia went to the effort of this week
00:10:55sending a screenshot of that group chat to Juliet.
00:11:00She's a vicious, vicious, vile little cow.
00:11:03Earlier on in this experiment,
00:11:04I was expressing my frustration to people I thought were my friends.
00:11:10But the texts aren't relevant.
00:11:13The problem is Gia.
00:11:14You're the one that's instigated it.
00:11:15You're the one that sent them.
00:11:17She takes no accountability for her actions.
00:11:19She actually...
00:11:20I believe that she doesn't actually even think
00:11:21that she's done anything wrong.
00:11:23It must be hard living in a brain like that
00:11:25because she is vicious.
00:11:27It's a pretty sad state of affair.
00:11:29She's got a lot of work to do on herself.
00:11:31A, it's irrelevant.
00:11:33And B, it's Gia.
00:11:35She's the engine room of all the drama.
00:11:37When someone shows you who they really are,
00:11:39you've got to believe them.
00:11:41But unbeknownst to Beck,
00:11:44Alyssa has received the screenshots of her text messages.
00:11:49I can understand why Gia felt the need to tell me why
00:11:53she sent these messages to Juliet
00:11:55to discuss them on the couch
00:11:57because, yeah, I didn't realise how bad they were.
00:12:03Beck said,
00:12:04Alyssa is going **** down.
00:12:06Rat bitch with her rat husband.
00:12:11I'm going to go so **** hard on Alyssa
00:12:14and her fake relationship.
00:12:16You know what?
00:12:18Alyssa probably isn't a bad girl,
00:12:20but her head is so far up,
00:12:22her **** **** asshole,
00:12:24she doesn't even realise
00:12:25what a **** she actually is.
00:12:28Shh.
00:12:30I'm sorry.
00:12:31This is like...
00:12:33Shh.
00:12:33It's just absolutely nice.
00:12:36Um...
00:12:37Anyways.
00:12:39It gets worse.
00:12:42Beck then goes on to say...
00:12:44The only fake ****
00:12:46in this place
00:12:47are those two
00:12:48****
00:12:50influencer wannabe ****.
00:12:53Wow.
00:12:55Still to come...
00:12:58Yay!
00:12:59The next critical phase of the experiment begins.
00:13:03Oh, no.
00:13:04You ready?
00:13:04Yeah.
00:13:05Hit me.
00:13:06It's feedback week.
00:13:07Oh, yes!
00:13:09So glad it's you!
00:13:11How do you think I approach this with Chris?
00:13:15So, do you think, like, this would be an ongoing problem?
00:13:18If she can't manage her emotions...
00:13:20I know.
00:13:21How will the couples handle receiving raw, unfiltered feedback from their peers?
00:13:26I don't really care what anyone's feedback is.
00:13:29There's no one here's relationship that I want to copy.
00:13:31I'm not joking.
00:13:32This experiment is fortune.
00:13:34Is Gia about to pull the pin on the entire experiment?
00:13:39And then...
00:13:41I did not want to see Beck today.
00:13:43What happens when Beck comes face to face with David after those text messages?
00:13:49The comments were vile, disgusting, like, mean and vicious.
00:13:53But how do you know what they were?
00:13:55We've seen them.
00:13:56We've seen them.
00:14:26Oh, yeah.
00:14:27You look nervous.
00:14:27I am a little bit nervous.
00:14:29Okay.
00:14:30Oh, he hit me.
00:14:33As you know, the experiment is entering its final weeks.
00:14:36However, being with your partner day in and day out can make it tough to have a clear perspective
00:14:41on how your relationship is tracking and what you need to work on.
00:14:44Sometimes you need to step back and see things from a different angle.
00:14:48So, today, you will part ways with each other for a few hours as you meet with another participant
00:14:54in the experiment to seek advice and feedback from someone who has been observing your relationship
00:14:59from afar.
00:15:00No!
00:15:01God.
00:15:02Whilst one of the most controversial tasks of Feedback Week, the Partner Swap, allows
00:15:07couples to gain an outside perspective on their relationships.
00:15:11Participants will be hearing invaluable advice, potentially giving them the clarity they need
00:15:17to progress the relationship outside the experiment.
00:15:20Yes, you manifested me on your wife.
00:15:23It's only for today.
00:15:24Well, who's going where?
00:15:25Who's meeting more?
00:15:26Who are they putting us with?
00:15:27I don't know.
00:15:28I need to know.
00:15:29This year, the participants won't know who they are meeting in the experiment at the
00:15:33Partner Swap.
00:15:34We wanted to create an environment that was real and raw, without any time to think about
00:15:40what they wanted to say or feedback they claimed to give.
00:15:44Instead, giving invaluable perspectives in the moment.
00:15:48I'm shitting myself.
00:15:50Okay.
00:15:51You know what?
00:15:52I'm actually really excited.
00:15:53But maybe you might be the difference, Stella, to make someone see, open their eyes in a
00:15:58certain way that they haven't really seen their partner, you know?
00:16:01Yeah.
00:16:01It'd be good.
00:16:02But I don't want to offend anyone.
00:16:03That's the thing.
00:16:03Like, I feel like my truths are very hard truths.
00:16:08For Sam, the chance to speak to another participant for feedback is a welcome surprise.
00:16:14I feel like if it was a few hours, it wouldn't be very daunting to anyone.
00:16:17Yeah.
00:16:19And I feel like...
00:16:20It'd be good to get more like a non-biased opinion.
00:16:24This partner swap task couldn't have come at a better time.
00:16:27Chris and I are in a good spot and, like, things are going well.
00:16:31But I'm going to be honest, at the commitment ceremony, Chris said some things that blindsided
00:16:36me a little bit.
00:16:37Are you starting to think about life outside the experiment?
00:16:41I think what it would probably look like is just, like, say we go, well, everything ticks
00:16:45the boxes, we'd have a place in Sydney.
00:16:47So he'd go to Sydney.
00:16:48I would stay primarily at the farm and then maybe we can float back and forth for a bit
00:16:52from Sydney to the farm.
00:16:54Oh, someone's been thinking about this in quite a bit of detail.
00:16:57I think that's what it would look like.
00:17:00That was the first time I heard that plan.
00:17:03And it makes me feel like maybe I'm not really being heard, nor have I really maybe had a
00:17:08voice in how it's going to work after the experiment, which is a bit of a concern for
00:17:11me.
00:17:12So it'll be, yeah, nice to just talk honestly with someone about this today and get a third
00:17:18party opinion on what we should, how we should tackle these big topics.
00:17:24Cool.
00:17:25All right.
00:17:25Well, I'm going to go.
00:17:27Have fun.
00:17:29Don't talk too much smack about me.
00:17:30I will.
00:17:32Absolute trash.
00:17:34For Gia and Scott, the mood is tense as they receive the partner swap task.
00:17:42After they argued over the progression of their feelings.
00:17:46Oh, God.
00:17:50Yeah, today it's just flat.
00:17:52Okay.
00:17:54We didn't really go into discussion.
00:17:56After that argument, I just let Gia cool off and get herself back together.
00:18:05But it hurts.
00:18:09Because she doesn't realise how much I really like her.
00:18:14Like, we're looking at places already, houses to rent.
00:18:17I'm showing, representing myself as a true father to a daughter.
00:18:21What more can I do to show how much I'm into someone?
00:18:24So, I don't know.
00:18:25I don't know what to do at the moment.
00:18:28Because all I can do is be here for her.
00:18:30That's all I can do.
00:18:33It's fucking cobble swap.
00:18:36Can't believe we've got this today.
00:18:40Scott and I are not in a position to be accepting that.
00:18:44I don't see how that could be positive on our relationship.
00:18:48I don't think anyone has the ability to give someone some good constructive feedback either.
00:18:54I don't really care what anyone's feedback is.
00:18:57Like, there's no one, no one here's relationship that I want to copy.
00:19:01I need, like, answers on it.
00:19:04Like, like, literally who?
00:19:06Like, I need to know who it is.
00:19:08I need to know who.
00:19:09Because if we had to do this with Beck and Danny,
00:19:12I don't want to do it.
00:19:13I'm not doing it.
00:19:15Now I don't even want to go get ready for it and do all that if it's someone else.
00:19:18It's a waste of my time.
00:19:19To be honest,
00:19:20out of this,
00:19:22the couples left in the experiment,
00:19:24there's six couples including us.
00:19:27So,
00:19:29the majority of couples we get along with,
00:19:34if it's only a couple of hours, I don't see any harm.
00:19:36Well, it's a few hours.
00:19:38It's like three or four.
00:19:38It's not bad.
00:19:41Well, I just, like, don't feel the need of, like, getting ready to go
00:19:43and then ends up being someone I hate and just makes my, ruin my day.
00:19:48It's harmless.
00:19:50Yep.
00:19:50It is harmless.
00:19:52You just give each other feedback.
00:19:54I'm trying to support you,
00:19:57protect her, look after her,
00:19:58tell her I'm here every step of the way.
00:20:00But, like,
00:20:02I can see the purpose of this task
00:20:03because
00:20:04the only people that have really seen the relationship in this experiment
00:20:07are the other participants.
00:20:09And I wish Gia could understand.
00:20:12Don't look at negatives to outweigh the positives.
00:20:14Because we are
00:20:15going through some rough patches at the moment.
00:20:17So, they might give some feedback.
00:20:19That could help
00:20:21us as a couple.
00:20:24Are we doing it?
00:20:25I think we should go.
00:20:28At least it's only a day.
00:20:30A few hours.
00:20:31A few hours, that's all right.
00:20:33Alright.
00:20:36Let's go get ready.
00:20:41Down the hall,
00:20:42the partner swap task has arrived
00:20:44at a pivotal time for Bec and Danny.
00:20:47As despite Bec's drama
00:20:49with the other brides,
00:20:50their commitment ceremony was revelatory
00:20:53for their relationship.
00:20:56So, describe your feelings for him.
00:20:59Where are we at right now?
00:21:01Bec?
00:21:04F*** it.
00:21:06I love you.
00:21:07I love you.
00:21:15I don't even know what to say to that.
00:21:21But the prospect of receiving feedback
00:21:24from an outside perspective
00:21:25is still not sitting well
00:21:27with Bec.
00:21:30I'm nervous.
00:21:35Just going to
00:21:37be open and honest.
00:21:38There's no way you can
00:21:39really approach it, is there?
00:21:41Do you know what I mean?
00:21:42Just go in there,
00:21:43be open and honest.
00:21:45Have a good chat.
00:21:47The problem for me is
00:21:49the people here that I don't trust
00:21:50that I won't speak to.
00:21:51Like, I'll fluff around it.
00:21:53And that's just the reality of it.
00:21:55No, I still think you should be honest.
00:21:57No way.
00:21:58Absolutely not.
00:21:59You think I'm going to go
00:22:00and sit with Scott
00:22:00and tell him truth.
00:22:02You're joking.
00:22:03You must be joking.
00:22:05True, but...
00:22:06You're joking.
00:22:07Because all that does
00:22:07is get used against me.
00:22:09So, no, I won't.
00:22:10Over my dead body,
00:22:11am I going to be truthful?
00:22:13So, what are you going to do?
00:22:14Just not tell him nothing?
00:22:15No, just lie.
00:22:17If I'm matched with Scott
00:22:19for this conversation,
00:22:20there's zero chance
00:22:21that I'm going to be honest with Scott.
00:22:23It's just the way it is.
00:22:24Sorry.
00:22:25Don't trust him.
00:22:27They use things against you
00:22:29when you've, you know,
00:22:31like, no.
00:22:32So, yeah.
00:22:35I can tell your energy's off.
00:22:37No, I'm not into it.
00:22:39Babe, relax.
00:22:40It's going to be all right.
00:22:41It's one of these tasks.
00:22:42You've just got to roll with it.
00:22:44Come on.
00:22:45Stay positive.
00:22:46Daddy, tell me
00:22:47how are you feeling
00:22:48about this task?
00:22:49I feel good.
00:22:50I feel calm and composed
00:22:51like always.
00:22:53Um, nothing ruffles my feathers.
00:22:55Do you know what you mean?
00:22:55Is there anyone
00:22:57that you're worried
00:22:57that it might be?
00:23:01Probably,
00:23:01I'd probably rather it
00:23:02not be Gia,
00:23:03but if it is,
00:23:04it's not going to bother me
00:23:05too much.
00:23:06I'll still roll up.
00:23:07She could probably actually
00:23:07give me some good advice
00:23:08to be honest.
00:23:10Um,
00:23:11and I'll be brutally honest
00:23:12today
00:23:13in the feedback
00:23:14that I'm given.
00:23:19Don't you stress about it?
00:23:21I am stressed about it.
00:23:22It's shitter for me
00:23:23than it is for you.
00:23:24No, it's not.
00:23:24Of course it is.
00:23:26Don't be silly.
00:23:27Of course it is.
00:23:28I'm over it.
00:23:31No.
00:23:32It can't be bothered.
00:23:35I need to go out
00:23:36and take a breather.
00:24:00What's happening to you?
00:24:02The thing that bothers me
00:24:05is like,
00:24:06the idea of like,
00:24:08of like,
00:24:09my husband telling
00:24:10someone else
00:24:12things that he's worried
00:24:13about in our relationship.
00:24:15And who is that person?
00:24:18And compounding Beck's
00:24:20resistance to the task
00:24:21is Danny's lukewarm response
00:24:24to her admission
00:24:25of love last night.
00:24:26Do you know what else
00:24:28bothers me?
00:24:30Yesterday when he
00:24:31ummed and I'd
00:24:31that just killed me.
00:24:33That was just shit.
00:24:35Yeah.
00:24:37It's just a sense
00:24:37of rejection.
00:24:40I just,
00:24:41I just regret telling him
00:24:42that I loved him.
00:24:44I wish I didn't do that.
00:24:46He's got all the power
00:24:48in this relationship now.
00:24:50All of it.
00:24:57It's feedback week
00:24:59and our participants
00:25:00are meeting
00:25:01their anonymous matches
00:25:02for the partner swap.
00:25:03I'm so glad to see you.
00:25:06Oh my God.
00:25:07Ha ha.
00:25:09Oh.
00:25:09Let's go.
00:25:10Yes.
00:25:12Ha ha.
00:25:12And after successfully
00:25:14convincing wife Gia
00:25:15to take part in the task,
00:25:17Scott is on the way
00:25:18to his catch up
00:25:19for an outside perspective
00:25:21on his relationship.
00:25:22I'm always up for a challenge.
00:25:23I'm always up to hear
00:25:24what people have to say.
00:25:26Jerry and I have only just
00:25:27started to have some problems
00:25:29and I'm just so confused.
00:25:31So this is a perfect time
00:25:33for some feedback.
00:25:35Um,
00:25:36but at the moment
00:25:37all I'm thinking about
00:25:38is how I don't want
00:25:39to see back with Danny.
00:25:43For both of mine and Gia's sake,
00:25:45I'm more than happy
00:25:46to go with anyone.
00:25:48But please don't let it be
00:25:49you back with Danny.
00:25:58Hello.
00:25:58Hi!
00:26:00What's going on?
00:26:01Oh, f***.
00:26:02I was like,
00:26:03this sounds cool.
00:26:04Like, if it's not
00:26:05Becky and Danny,
00:26:06that's fine.
00:26:06Oh, no.
00:26:07I would have been
00:26:08so uncomfortable
00:26:08I would have just walked out.
00:26:09Oh, God.
00:26:10It's good that you're here.
00:26:11I know, right?
00:26:12But I...
00:26:13Oh.
00:26:13Cheers.
00:26:14Relief.
00:26:14Cheers.
00:26:15I'm like,
00:26:15that's a weight off my shoulder.
00:26:17Oh, you poor thing.
00:26:17My reaction to having Stella,
00:26:19I'm quite happy with that.
00:26:21How are you?
00:26:22I'm good now.
00:26:23I was like,
00:26:23far out.
00:26:24Yeah.
00:26:25I've got a pretty good
00:26:26relationship with Stella.
00:26:26She's always good to talk to.
00:26:28She's pretty calm and collective.
00:26:29And there's no doubt about it
00:26:31that Philip and Stella
00:26:32share something really special.
00:26:34You know,
00:26:35their maturity,
00:26:36the way they work through
00:26:37tough times.
00:26:38I really admire it.
00:26:40So,
00:26:41maybe she'll
00:26:42get some good insights
00:26:43about my relationship
00:26:44and vice versa.
00:26:47Right.
00:26:48How are we feeling?
00:26:48Where do we start?
00:26:50Seeing Scott's
00:26:51was great.
00:26:52He has a lot of
00:26:54great qualities
00:26:54that you would want
00:26:56in a man,
00:26:56in a friend.
00:26:57You know,
00:26:58knowing that Phil
00:26:59and Scott
00:26:59also have some sort
00:27:00of relationship
00:27:01is also reassuring
00:27:02because I can
00:27:02trust his opinion
00:27:04as well.
00:27:05And I do want
00:27:06to give as best
00:27:07advice as I can feel
00:27:08I can give
00:27:09to him as a person.
00:27:12So,
00:27:12like,
00:27:12I guess,
00:27:13just,
00:27:14where are you
00:27:15and Philip at?
00:27:15So,
00:27:16you guys are good now?
00:27:16Like,
00:27:17you guys have,
00:27:17since the couch...
00:27:19We talked about it,
00:27:20like,
00:27:20let's put,
00:27:20you know,
00:27:21what's in the past,
00:27:22you know,
00:27:23whatever.
00:27:24But it's hard
00:27:24because every time
00:27:25he says,
00:27:26I love you,
00:27:26I was like,
00:27:27really?
00:27:27Like,
00:27:28I'm questioning it.
00:27:29Like,
00:27:30it's just something,
00:27:31again,
00:27:31from the past
00:27:31that's coming in my mind.
00:27:33So,
00:27:33will he have enough patience,
00:27:35you know,
00:27:35with me working
00:27:36through the old fears?
00:27:37It's just something
00:27:38where, like,
00:27:38you guys communicate.
00:27:40Yeah,
00:27:40we do.
00:27:40We do communicate
00:27:41so well.
00:27:41Yeah,
00:27:42so,
00:27:42like,
00:27:42he's very calm
00:27:43and understanding
00:27:44and he's not the type
00:27:45to just be aggressive.
00:27:46He's in love
00:27:47with the person you are.
00:27:48So,
00:27:48I think he has patience.
00:27:50Yeah,
00:27:50I think he's that.
00:27:50I think it's just him
00:27:51being able to accept
00:27:52these moments that you have
00:27:53and him understanding
00:27:55when you retract it
00:27:56just for a moment
00:27:56and for him to not run away.
00:27:58Yeah,
00:27:59it's good to see
00:28:00that manly perspective
00:28:02and good to confirm
00:28:03that,
00:28:04okay,
00:28:04I can relax.
00:28:05He's good.
00:28:06Yeah,
00:28:06he's good.
00:28:07He's amazing.
00:28:07I love Philip.
00:28:07I know.
00:28:08I love him too.
00:28:09If you don't love him,
00:28:10I will.
00:28:10No,
00:28:11he reassured me
00:28:13that Philip
00:28:13is the right person
00:28:14for me to unpack
00:28:15my baggage
00:28:16about my old fears,
00:28:18that he does have
00:28:19the tools
00:28:20to work with this.
00:28:25What's going on with you?
00:28:27Um,
00:28:27so,
00:28:31Gia left
00:28:32the other night.
00:28:33Are you guys okay?
00:28:34We're okay now.
00:28:35Okay.
00:28:35Yes.
00:28:36Um,
00:28:37but,
00:28:38to be honest,
00:28:39this is probably
00:28:39the roughest time
00:28:40we're at right now.
00:28:42Mm.
00:28:43What happened?
00:28:44Are you okay
00:28:45to talk about it?
00:28:46Yes,
00:28:46well,
00:28:46what's what I'm here for?
00:28:48I need your perspective
00:28:49because I didn't know
00:28:49that she was feeling this way.
00:28:51Obviously,
00:28:52Gia's felt like
00:28:52she's pretty much there,
00:28:53like,
00:28:53in love with me,
00:28:54but she's not going to tell me
00:28:55because I need to say it first.
00:28:56And I've been honest.
00:28:58I've been honest.
00:28:58I said I'm not there yet,
00:28:59but I am falling.
00:29:00But when I hear stuff like,
00:29:03you know,
00:29:03if you don't feel the same
00:29:04in the next couple of weeks,
00:29:05I'm out.
00:29:06Okay.
00:29:08That,
00:29:08to me,
00:29:08makes me scared and pressured.
00:29:10It's an ultimatum.
00:29:10Yeah,
00:29:11pretty much.
00:29:13Oh,
00:29:14dear.
00:29:14And it's stressing me out so much.
00:29:16Then just because she's there
00:29:17and I'm not,
00:29:18it hurts her.
00:29:19Mm.
00:29:19So,
00:29:20like,
00:29:20and she's not used to that.
00:29:22Because you're giving
00:29:23what she needs
00:29:24in terms of
00:29:26the time,
00:29:27the communication,
00:29:28affection,
00:29:29and all,
00:29:29like,
00:29:29she has that.
00:29:31So,
00:29:31I think,
00:29:32at the moment,
00:29:33you are not giving her
00:29:34any worries.
00:29:36You're not giving her
00:29:37any drama.
00:29:38She's seeking that drama
00:29:38to fulfil her internal need.
00:29:42Yeah.
00:29:45I was very pleased
00:29:46that he truly opened up
00:29:47about the relationship
00:29:48because thus far,
00:29:49we only saw
00:29:50the rainbows and butterflies
00:29:52I think I can be honest
00:29:54with Scott.
00:29:54I think Gia needs
00:29:56that external drama.
00:29:57The fact that she's
00:29:58almost forcing him
00:29:59to say,
00:29:59I love you
00:30:00while in the experiment.
00:30:02All she's doing
00:30:02is just deflecting.
00:30:07How to put it?
00:30:08So,
00:30:08for me,
00:30:08what came out,
00:30:09like,
00:30:09my biggest fear
00:30:10of, like,
00:30:10fear of abandonment,
00:30:11right?
00:30:11So,
00:30:11that fear is within me.
00:30:14I don't know
00:30:14how to explain it,
00:30:15but, like,
00:30:16you're looking for
00:30:17in your outside world,
00:30:19in your relationships,
00:30:20you're looking for
00:30:20confirmation
00:30:21of your beliefs.
00:30:23So,
00:30:24she's looking for
00:30:24confirmation
00:30:25of that drama.
00:30:29It's so interesting,
00:30:31like,
00:30:31there's this internal
00:30:32parasite
00:30:33that just keeps
00:30:34showing up.
00:30:36she does say
00:30:37that she wants
00:30:37to stop the drama,
00:30:39but with the same breath,
00:30:40it's keeping continuations.
00:30:42So,
00:30:43now she's bringing it
00:30:44into the relationship.
00:30:48How do I ask this
00:30:49in a question,
00:30:50like,
00:30:54for what you see in Gia,
00:30:57is this going
00:30:58to happen outside
00:31:00the experiment?
00:31:02Like,
00:31:07do you think, like,
00:31:08this would be
00:31:09an ongoing problem?
00:31:10This is going to be
00:31:10the same.
00:31:12Yeah.
00:31:12If she can't manage
00:31:14her emotions
00:31:14and her emotional turmoil,
00:31:16what she's experiencing
00:31:17right now,
00:31:18which is very secluded,
00:31:19it's a bubble.
00:31:20We insulate it.
00:31:23We don't have
00:31:23any pressures.
00:31:24We don't have
00:31:25the pressures
00:31:25of you working,
00:31:26of her working,
00:31:27of the children
00:31:28getting involved.
00:31:31So,
00:31:31I think
00:31:32that's probably
00:31:33a very deep conversation
00:31:34that you probably
00:31:35would need to have.
00:31:37Yeah.
00:31:38It's hard, yeah.
00:31:39I just...
00:31:40Because, like...
00:31:42Hmm.
00:31:44And it worries me
00:31:45because I know
00:31:45she's such...
00:31:46She's got such
00:31:46a good side of her
00:31:47and a very good soul.
00:31:49And that's why
00:31:50I said at the dinner party
00:31:51I said,
00:31:52like,
00:31:52she's my soulmate
00:31:53because everything
00:31:53we do together
00:31:54when we're together
00:31:55is so perfectly aligned.
00:31:57It is great.
00:31:57But this other shit
00:31:58does interact.
00:32:00Yeah.
00:32:00And I never thought
00:32:01of it until now.
00:32:04Having this conversation
00:32:05with Stila,
00:32:05it's made my relationship
00:32:06seem a bit more clear.
00:32:08It's giving me concerns.
00:32:10What Stila's made clear
00:32:11to me is,
00:32:13this is Gia's package.
00:32:15Am I able to handle
00:32:15Gia's like to being
00:32:17involved in drama
00:32:18and stuff like that?
00:32:19And, you know,
00:32:21maybe I should ask Gia
00:32:22if there's any past
00:32:23she wants to bring up
00:32:23that's made her
00:32:24want to be involved
00:32:25in this stuff.
00:32:28Actually,
00:32:28I got you a present.
00:32:30Sorry,
00:32:30I'm in my little crystals,
00:32:32you know?
00:32:32Oh, my God.
00:32:33This is cute.
00:32:37Okay, so Blue Quartz.
00:32:40Blue Quartz enhances
00:32:42organisational abilities,
00:32:43self-discipline,
00:32:44and helps to improve
00:32:45one's communication skills,
00:32:46including communication
00:32:47from the higher self.
00:32:48Yeah,
00:32:49your future self,
00:32:50like.
00:32:51To be honest,
00:32:52the advice I got
00:32:53was quite reasonable,
00:32:54I feel.
00:32:55That's so nice.
00:32:56Oh, my God,
00:32:57I'll keep this forever.
00:32:58Thank you so much.
00:32:59Pleasure.
00:33:00Definitely going to
00:33:00take it on board.
00:33:02And I hope Gia does too.
00:33:03I just need to deliver
00:33:04it the right way
00:33:05for her to not feel offended.
00:33:07Well, cheers.
00:33:08Well, cheers.
00:33:08I've finished my drink.
00:33:10We've had a great discussion,
00:33:11I think.
00:33:12Fingers crossed
00:33:13it goes the right way.
00:33:19As Scott remains optimistic,
00:33:23back at the apartments...
00:33:28Gia,
00:33:30just explain to us
00:33:31what's happening,
00:33:31Gia.
00:33:34Despite agreeing
00:33:35to participate
00:33:36in the task...
00:33:37Gia.
00:33:38There's been a shocking
00:33:40turn of events
00:33:41for Gia.
00:33:43What's happened,
00:33:44Gia?
00:33:49All you have to do
00:33:50is explain.
00:33:53It's...
00:33:54I'm not...
00:33:54I'm not doing it.
00:33:56You guys can all
00:33:57**** yourselves
00:33:58at this point.
00:33:59I don't know why
00:34:00the ****
00:34:01this is an important
00:34:01thing to do today.
00:34:03This experiment
00:34:04is full of shit.
00:34:06And I don't really care
00:34:07what the experts
00:34:07have to say.
00:34:16The partner swap
00:34:17is underway,
00:34:18where our couples
00:34:19have been tasked
00:34:20to meet with a fellow
00:34:21participant in the experiment
00:34:23for another perspective
00:34:25on their relationship.
00:34:27and Sam is seeking
00:34:28and Sam is seeking
00:34:28some relationship
00:34:29insight from Philip
00:34:30following concerns
00:34:31over Chris
00:34:32outlining their plans
00:34:33for the future
00:34:34without consulting him.
00:34:37Like, I know that Chris
00:34:37has a lot.
00:34:38Obviously, I just play it
00:34:39with kids on the way
00:34:40and the farm and stuff.
00:34:41Absolutely.
00:34:42Did you see the commitment
00:34:43ceremony when he was like,
00:34:45I know how it will work.
00:34:46Sam will come to Sydney
00:34:47and then we'll do this.
00:34:48We had not spoken
00:34:49about that plan
00:34:50like at all.
00:34:51Like, it has not come up
00:34:52in any way, shape or form.
00:34:54Yes.
00:34:55So for me to still
00:34:56catch up,
00:34:56oh, okay,
00:34:57that's how this is going
00:34:58to work.
00:34:58Like, not even a conversation
00:34:59with me.
00:35:00I just, I think
00:35:01what I'm struggling with
00:35:02is not that maybe
00:35:03that's where it ends up,
00:35:04but like, I just feel
00:35:05like I didn't get a say
00:35:06or a voice at all.
00:35:07I feel for Sammy
00:35:08as a lack of empathy,
00:35:10like, where, you know,
00:35:11it's just assumed
00:35:12that we're going to be
00:35:13doing this and this is
00:35:13how it's going to work,
00:35:14you know?
00:35:15It's kind of parallel
00:35:16with myself and Stella
00:35:17and how she does have
00:35:18a little bit of a,
00:35:19kind of like a stern way
00:35:20of saying things,
00:35:21you know?
00:35:22But we spoke about it.
00:35:24And we've come out
00:35:25through it strong.
00:35:26Hopefully that can give
00:35:27him some insight
00:35:28and there's a little bit
00:35:29of compromise there.
00:35:30I feel for you, man.
00:35:32And when he did drop
00:35:33that at the commitment
00:35:34ceremony, he was like,
00:35:35oh, okay, cool.
00:35:36We haven't really spoken
00:35:36about it.
00:35:37Did you have this chat
00:35:37with him after?
00:35:38Is that something
00:35:39you brought up with him
00:35:40or no?
00:35:40I said to myself,
00:35:41like, I would bring
00:35:42it up with him.
00:35:43Um, I was just kind of
00:35:45like, I don't know,
00:35:47sometimes just avoid
00:35:48conflict, right?
00:35:48It's going to be a tough
00:35:49conversation.
00:35:51You really need to
00:35:53verbalise what your plans
00:35:54are because this is a
00:35:55partnership.
00:35:56So the silver lining is
00:35:57that you can work at this
00:35:58for the next few months,
00:35:59potentially.
00:36:00You need to have more say.
00:36:02Kind of draw it up in real
00:36:03time and just go,
00:36:04how is it going to look
00:36:04like in what time frame?
00:36:07You know, like,
00:36:09kids, how it's going to
00:36:10work and all this kind
00:36:11of stuff.
00:36:12And yeah, you just,
00:36:13you need to be heard
00:36:13and your feelings need
00:36:15to be considered.
00:36:15As Phil was talking,
00:36:16I started to realise
00:36:18that he's right.
00:36:19I need to stand on my
00:36:20own two feet and speak
00:36:22to Chris and tell him
00:36:23everything I want to say.
00:36:24I just really want to be
00:36:25heard, like, to be
00:36:26empathised with this
00:36:28relationship.
00:36:29Man, this relationship
00:36:30should start, marriage
00:36:30starts hard, isn't it?
00:36:31It is.
00:36:32We should get more
00:36:33drinks.
00:36:33Let's do it.
00:36:34Yeah.
00:36:35As Sam finds clarity
00:36:37in Philip's advice,
00:36:40across town, Danny has
00:36:42arrived to meet his
00:36:43mystery pairing.
00:36:45I'm really going to
00:36:46soak myself into this
00:36:47task.
00:36:48Bec's an amazing wife
00:36:49and I'm really enjoying
00:36:50the journey I'm on with
00:36:51her.
00:36:52But she has told me she
00:36:53loves me and I haven't
00:36:54said it back to her.
00:36:56Because, yeah, I'm not
00:36:57there yet.
00:36:58So that does play heavy
00:36:59on my mind.
00:37:01That's put a pressure
00:37:02on me.
00:37:03which I don't really
00:37:04know how to navigate
00:37:05my way through.
00:37:07The last thing I want
00:37:08to do is hurt Bec.
00:37:09So I'd probably like to
00:37:10get some advice on that
00:37:11from a third party.
00:37:13I actually think that
00:37:13could really help me.
00:37:14Because I've obviously
00:37:15just been going through
00:37:16it in my head.
00:37:17But it will actually be
00:37:19good to get advice
00:37:19from someone else.
00:37:22I don't really care who
00:37:24it is, to be honest.
00:37:25You could go and meet
00:37:27someone who you really
00:37:28don't want it to be,
00:37:29but they could actually
00:37:29give you the best advice
00:37:30in life.
00:37:33Sometimes, you know,
00:37:35a homeless man on the
00:37:36street could give you
00:37:37better advice than a
00:37:37billionaire.
00:37:38And that is true.
00:37:40So, yeah, I'll listen
00:37:42to anyone and I'll sit
00:37:43there and be open,
00:37:44honest and vulnerable
00:37:45and have a good chat.
00:37:56But unbeknownst to Danny,
00:38:00his match is refusing to
00:38:02participate in the task.
00:38:04I'm not doing it.
00:38:07You guys can all
00:38:08f*** yourselves at this
00:38:09point.
00:38:11I don't know why the f***
00:38:12this is an important
00:38:13thing to do to her.
00:38:17So you don't want to
00:38:18find out who it is?
00:38:20No.
00:38:22Because I feel like
00:38:23it's going to be
00:38:24Beck or Danny.
00:38:34How long are we
00:38:35going to be waiting?
00:38:43There's a lose-lose
00:38:44situation.
00:38:45There's no win-win
00:38:46situation if it is
00:38:47Beck or Danny.
00:38:50This is awkward.
00:39:00Okay, Danny.
00:39:03The participant who
00:39:04was going to give you
00:39:04some feedback is no longer
00:39:05coming.
00:39:07All right.
00:39:08Why is that?
00:39:10They have decided they
00:39:11don't want to
00:39:12participate in the
00:39:12noise.
00:39:14That's cool.
00:39:15That's what we're
00:39:16doing, just chilling.
00:39:19Who was it?
00:39:21It was Gia.
00:39:23Fair enough.
00:39:26She done her honour.
00:39:28Coming up,
00:39:29Beck and David address
00:39:30those texts.
00:39:32In those text messages,
00:39:33I wasn't rude about
00:39:35you.
00:39:35I wasn't rude about
00:39:36Alyssa.
00:39:37I am shocked.
00:39:39I felt like the
00:39:40comments were vile,
00:39:41disgusting.
00:39:43But how do you know
00:39:44what they were?
00:39:48We've seen them.
00:40:02Okay, Danny.
00:40:05The participant who
00:40:06was going to give you
00:40:06some feedback is no
00:40:07longer coming.
00:40:09All right.
00:40:10Why is that?
00:40:12They have decided
00:40:13they don't want to
00:40:14participate in the
00:40:14noise.
00:40:16That's cool.
00:40:17So what are we
00:40:18doing, just chilling?
00:40:21Who was it?
00:40:23It was Gia.
00:40:26Fair enough.
00:40:28She done her honour.
00:40:31Gia, Gia, Gia.
00:40:33She's done it again,
00:40:34isn't she?
00:40:34Like, she's gone
00:40:36sprinting at the
00:40:37commitment ceremony.
00:40:38She's gone sprinting
00:40:39today.
00:40:40She's a sprinter.
00:40:41You know what I mean?
00:40:42I'm going to rename
00:40:43her Usain Bolt.
00:40:45There's no way to do
00:40:47this properly if it is
00:40:48Beck or Danny.
00:40:49There's just no way.
00:40:50And I felt like it was
00:40:51going to be them.
00:40:52And I just had to
00:40:53choose myself.
00:40:56It's cowardly.
00:40:57That's what it is.
00:40:58Thanks so much.
00:41:00But she couldn't risk it.
00:41:01She probably thought
00:41:01there's a slim chance
00:41:02she was going to get
00:41:03me.
00:41:05So obviously for her,
00:41:06it would be very
00:41:06confronting to turn up
00:41:08and sit across the
00:41:10table and look a man
00:41:11in the eyes who you've
00:41:12lied about.
00:41:13Do you know what you
00:41:14mean?
00:41:16So what you saw today
00:41:17was a guilty conscience.
00:41:19There is no winning.
00:41:21Because if I walk out,
00:41:22she'll manipulate the
00:41:22situation.
00:41:23If I sit with her,
00:41:24she'll manipulate me.
00:41:24There's no way around
00:41:26this.
00:41:27They're horrible people.
00:41:28And I do not want to be
00:41:30in the presence of those
00:41:31kinds of people.
00:41:31They're in a fake
00:41:32relationship.
00:41:34I feel a bit
00:41:35disappointed.
00:41:37This task has been
00:41:38taken away from me.
00:41:40And I feel that it's
00:41:41a disrespect to the
00:41:42experiment, to the
00:41:43experts and to the
00:41:44other participants if
00:41:46you don't give it 100%.
00:41:48I don't really care what
00:41:49the experts have to say.
00:41:50I just don't want to put
00:41:51myself in a position where
00:41:53I'm not actually doing
00:41:54anything productive for
00:41:55my relationship.
00:41:56I'm not having a good
00:41:57conversation and getting
00:41:57feedback.
00:41:58I'm just arguing with
00:41:59somebody.
00:42:00And I just don't see the
00:42:01point in doing that.
00:42:04To be honest, I'd
00:42:06probably rather chat to
00:42:07that wall than I would
00:42:08chat to Gia anyway,
00:42:09so.
00:42:14Back at the
00:42:15apartments, Alyssa and
00:42:17David are about to leave
00:42:18for the partner swap.
00:42:20Right, babe, I'm off to
00:42:22get some feedback.
00:42:23And following the shock
00:42:25revelation of Beck's text
00:42:26messages against them,
00:42:28Alyssa has some parting
00:42:29instructions for David.
00:42:31So, just quickly before
00:42:32you go, if you are
00:42:35partnered with Daniel Beck,
00:42:36make sure that you don't
00:42:38bring up the text
00:42:40messages yet.
00:42:41Okay.
00:42:42That is something that I
00:42:43will clear up later.
00:42:45Let's get feedback for a
00:42:47relationship, but let's not
00:42:48bring up text messages
00:42:49till later.
00:42:49Cool.
00:42:50Okay.
00:42:50Easy.
00:42:52David and I are trying to
00:42:53focus on a whole new
00:42:55fresh start to the week,
00:42:56but it's hard because
00:42:59obviously I have mended
00:43:01friendships with both
00:43:02Beck and Gia, but the
00:43:04way that Beck spoke about
00:43:06me in these messages were
00:43:08absolutely vulgar, vicious,
00:43:11and reading that's brought
00:43:12back a lot of hurt from all
00:43:15the bullying at the start
00:43:16of this experiment that went
00:43:17on for weeks and weeks
00:43:18and weeks.
00:43:19No, wait, everyone.
00:43:21Hey, babe, that's why.
00:43:22You roll your eyes.
00:43:24That's why we don't like you.
00:43:26I'm not everybody's cup of
00:43:27tea.
00:43:27Leave me alone.
00:43:29Oh, shut up.
00:43:30I guarantee.
00:43:31Ugh.
00:43:32You talk shit about
00:43:33Alyssa non-stop, babe.
00:43:35So let's pull up the
00:43:36receipts, shall we?
00:43:37Went home for the weekend.
00:43:39Turmoil in the
00:43:39relationship.
00:43:44What?
00:43:46Like, there has been a lot
00:43:48of this going on where
00:43:50she's constantly trying to
00:43:51dig, dig, dig, push,
00:43:52push, push.
00:43:53She's relentless.
00:43:54I just want to let you
00:43:55know there's a bit of
00:43:57chatter around Adelaide
00:44:00about Beck trying to
00:44:01actually dig shit up on
00:44:03Alyssa.
00:44:06Like, it's an active
00:44:08process.
00:44:10There is always
00:44:11something going on.
00:44:14And she hasn't been
00:44:15able to tell me why.
00:44:17What's up to you,
00:44:18Beck, would you say?
00:44:21Why are you talking
00:44:22about their relationship?
00:44:24Do you know what?
00:44:24You're right.
00:44:25And I know I'm right,
00:44:26but what I don't know is
00:44:27why you're doing that.
00:44:30I actually don't have a
00:44:31reason for it.
00:44:32I'm just tired of it.
00:44:35Because it's been an
00:44:36ongoing thing.
00:44:36I've been in the chat.
00:44:37I've been, you know, in
00:44:38Beck's chat in this whole
00:44:39experiment.
00:44:41Enough is enough.
00:44:42So I just personally want
00:44:44to go up to Beck and just
00:44:45address this matter.
00:44:46Say, babe, I've seen the
00:44:47receipts.
00:44:48Like, explain yourself.
00:44:51I'll see you soon.
00:44:52Bye.
00:44:52Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye,
00:44:53bye, bye, bye.
00:44:57With Alyssa's request in
00:44:59mind, David is waiting for
00:45:01his match to arrive.
00:45:06Seeing that we do spend most
00:45:08of our time with the people
00:45:09in this experiment, any feedback
00:45:12will help in our relationship,
00:45:13for sure.
00:45:14But at the same time, I don't
00:45:15trust many people in this
00:45:16experiment.
00:45:18So it's like, yeah, I want
00:45:19some feedback, but at the
00:45:20same time, I'm very, like,
00:45:23wary.
00:45:24So I'll see what I can
00:45:25take on board.
00:45:28I'm a bit nervous, yeah,
00:45:29because I don't know who I'm
00:45:30spending the day with.
00:45:32I'm just going to, like,
00:45:33rock up and be like, yo,
00:45:34we're about to spend a couple
00:45:35hours together, and, yeah,
00:45:37who knows who it is.
00:45:42Oh, no, you're kidding me.
00:45:48Oh, crap.
00:45:50Oh, my goodness, you're
00:45:51kidding.
00:45:52I did not want to see
00:45:53Beck today.
00:46:05Oh, no, you're
00:46:07kidding me.
00:46:09What's up?
00:46:11I'm actually so glad it's
00:46:13you.
00:46:13Oh, crap.
00:46:14I'm so glad it's you.
00:46:16I did not want to see
00:46:17Beck today.
00:46:19How are you?
00:46:20I'm good.
00:46:20How are you?
00:46:21I'm OK.
00:46:22Not too bad.
00:46:23How are you feeling?
00:46:25Yeah, all right.
00:46:26All right.
00:46:27How are you feeling?
00:46:28I'm all right.
00:46:28I'm a bit nervous.
00:46:30Yeah, I'm a bit nervous as
00:46:31well.
00:46:31OK, so we're both nervous.
00:46:33Yeah, I was not, like,
00:46:35expecting it to be you.
00:46:38You're probably like,
00:46:39why is she here?
00:46:40Yeah, low-key.
00:46:42Low-key.
00:46:43I'm feeling very awkward
00:46:44because, obviously, you know,
00:46:47it was fresh in my mind,
00:46:48the text messages that
00:46:49we saw that Beck had sent.
00:46:52But I know that Alyssa
00:46:54wanted to confront Beck
00:46:55herself about the whole
00:46:56situation.
00:46:57so I'll be cordial
00:46:58with Beck
00:46:59and brush it
00:47:00to the side.
00:47:01Yeah.
00:47:02Um.
00:47:06Anyway, like,
00:47:07let's talk about what,
00:47:08what we really,
00:47:09what we're here
00:47:10to talk about.
00:47:12So, yeah,
00:47:13you have some questions
00:47:14for me?
00:47:16Yeah.
00:47:16Do you know what?
00:47:17I was hoping it was you.
00:47:18Why?
00:47:19I wanted to talk
00:47:19to you and Alyssa.
00:47:20I think something
00:47:22that, um,
00:47:24I need to say
00:47:25is obviously
00:47:25I've apologised
00:47:26to you guys, right?
00:47:27But it's,
00:47:29it was,
00:47:30it was from the first week
00:47:31that those messages
00:47:32were written.
00:47:37Make sure that you
00:47:38don't bring up
00:47:39the text messages
00:47:41yet.
00:47:42Yeah.
00:47:43That,
00:47:43that was a group text
00:47:45with Mel,
00:47:45Rebecca,
00:47:46Brooke,
00:47:47Gia and myself.
00:47:48Avoid any conversations
00:47:50since feedback week.
00:47:51Let's get feedback
00:47:52for our relationship
00:47:53but let's not bring up
00:47:54text messages
00:47:55until later.
00:47:55Cool.
00:47:56Okay?
00:47:56Easy.
00:47:57All I'm thinking about
00:47:59is how Alyssa
00:48:00wanted to unpack
00:48:01that with Beck.
00:48:03Gia sent them
00:48:03to Juliet
00:48:04for God knows
00:48:05what reason.
00:48:06This is my worst
00:48:06nightmare.
00:48:07I am,
00:48:10like,
00:48:10I understand
00:48:11that I've been
00:48:12involved in certain
00:48:13aspects.
00:48:13I understand
00:48:14that I take
00:48:15full accountability
00:48:16and responsibility
00:48:16but, like,
00:48:17the person
00:48:18that keeps
00:48:18on bringing it up,
00:48:19keeps on
00:48:20engaging themselves
00:48:20out of that
00:48:21situation
00:48:21and being
00:48:22Alyssa's friend
00:48:23is Gia.
00:48:25I,
00:48:26I had to hold
00:48:27back
00:48:27because Beck
00:48:28is trying to say
00:48:29she's doing
00:48:29nothing and she's
00:48:31just been influenced
00:48:32by Gia.
00:48:33Yeah.
00:48:33But from what
00:48:33I've seen
00:48:34in the text messages,
00:48:36that's obviously
00:48:36not true.
00:48:38And it's like,
00:48:39I get it.
00:48:40Gia has a problem
00:48:41with me
00:48:42but she keeps
00:48:43on making it
00:48:44out like it's me
00:48:44but those
00:48:45conversations
00:48:46started somewhere
00:48:47and it's just
00:48:49a vendetta
00:48:49and I understand.
00:48:52What's a vendetta?
00:48:53Is it against me
00:48:53and Alyssa?
00:48:54No,
00:48:55I'm talking about
00:48:55against me.
00:48:57You guys
00:48:58are always
00:48:59caught in the
00:49:00crossfire
00:49:00which is
00:49:01unfair.
00:49:02Yeah.
00:49:02I am shocked
00:49:03Beck is trying
00:49:04to make herself
00:49:04look like a
00:49:05victim.
00:49:06Like,
00:49:07am I in
00:49:07sleep paralysis
00:49:08right now?
00:49:09It's not a
00:49:10shit on Gia day
00:49:11but,
00:49:12because we've got
00:49:12our relationships
00:49:13to talk about,
00:49:14but,
00:49:15at the centre
00:49:16of everything
00:49:17is Gia,
00:49:18right?
00:49:19So she's
00:49:20sending screenshots.
00:49:21It looks like
00:49:22both you and Gia
00:49:23are the centre
00:49:23of everything.
00:49:24Yeah,
00:49:24listen,
00:49:25but like,
00:49:25I'm being
00:49:26bought into it
00:49:27this time.
00:49:27I'm just finding
00:49:27out more about
00:49:28Gia,
00:49:28but from what,
00:49:29obviously,
00:49:30till this
00:49:30conversation,
00:49:31all I've seen,
00:49:32if I was being
00:49:32completely honest,
00:49:33is Beck is always
00:49:34the centre of
00:49:35staring the pot
00:49:35in every relationship.
00:49:39Beck is very
00:49:40good at manipulating
00:49:41and her lack
00:49:42of accountability
00:49:43makes me sick
00:49:44to my stomach.
00:49:45Look,
00:49:46David is like,
00:49:48well,
00:49:50in those text
00:49:51messages,
00:49:51I didn't,
00:49:52I wasn't rude
00:49:54about you,
00:49:54I wasn't rude
00:49:55about Alyssa,
00:49:56I was just
00:49:57talking about
00:49:57your relationship.
00:50:01Like,
00:50:02right now,
00:50:02I don't know
00:50:03what to do.
00:50:04I feel like
00:50:04I've got ants
00:50:05crawling underneath
00:50:06my skin,
00:50:07and I feel like
00:50:08I want to be
00:50:08outside of my skin
00:50:09and out on the street
00:50:12because I read
00:50:13those text messages,
00:50:15you know,
00:50:15that was vicious,
00:50:16you know,
00:50:17that was disgusting.
00:50:18Beck said,
00:50:20her head is so far
00:50:21up,
00:50:22her f***ing arsehole,
00:50:23she doesn't even
00:50:24realise what a
00:50:25f*** she actually
00:50:26is.
00:50:29I actually
00:50:30look at you
00:50:31and Alyssa
00:50:32and your relationship
00:50:33and I really
00:50:33respect it.
00:50:34Yeah.
00:50:36I do.
00:50:37Rat bitch
00:50:38with her rat
00:50:39husband.
00:50:40You,
00:50:40go through my phone,
00:50:41please.
00:50:42I actually beg of you,
00:50:43go through my phone.
00:50:44The only fake
00:50:46in this place
00:50:47are those two
00:50:50influencer wannabe
00:50:53I've tried to be silent,
00:50:56but this is my
00:50:57opportunity to stick up
00:50:58for my wife,
00:51:00so I have to address it.
00:51:03I mean,
00:51:04obviously the whole,
00:51:06like,
00:51:07I just want you to know,
00:51:08we felt like,
00:51:09felt like the comments
00:51:11were vile,
00:51:12disgusting,
00:51:14and very,
00:51:15like,
00:51:16mean and vicious.
00:51:17But how do you know
00:51:18what they were?
00:51:20Um,
00:51:22we've seen,
00:51:23we've seen it.
00:51:26Did Juliet send them
00:51:28to Alyssa?
00:51:29She did.
00:51:42But I felt like
00:51:43the comments
00:51:43were vile,
00:51:44disgusting,
00:51:47and very,
00:51:48like,
00:51:49mean and vicious.
00:51:49But how do you know
00:51:50what they were?
00:51:52Um,
00:51:54we've seen,
00:51:55we've seen it.
00:51:59Did Juliet send them
00:52:00to Alyssa?
00:52:02She did.
00:52:06Yeah,
00:52:07so,
00:52:07like,
00:52:07obviously you can imagine
00:52:09those comments
00:52:09were f***ing vile.
00:52:10of course,
00:52:11yeah.
00:52:11And it's hard
00:52:12to look past that,
00:52:13you know?
00:52:13Yeah, of course.
00:52:13And I want Alyssa
00:52:14to have her time
00:52:15to talk with you,
00:52:15so I'm gonna not
00:52:16try and dive too deep
00:52:17in that,
00:52:18just to give her
00:52:18the respect of that.
00:52:19Because I know,
00:52:20like,
00:52:21at the end of the day,
00:52:22those were very,
00:52:23very vile columns.
00:52:24Yeah, I understand.
00:52:25And I don't know
00:52:25how you had it in you.
00:52:28You can see how,
00:52:29for us,
00:52:29like,
00:52:30now it looks like,
00:52:31you know,
00:52:31you're manipulating
00:52:32this situation
00:52:34to make yourself
00:52:34look like a victim now.
00:52:38We didn't realise
00:52:39the gravity
00:52:40of what was said.
00:52:41And did you see
00:52:41the other messages
00:52:42and stuff?
00:52:43Gosh,
00:52:43we,
00:52:44only from what we've seen,
00:52:45far out.
00:52:46Did you see,
00:52:46did you see the other messages?
00:52:47I didn't even expect
00:52:47that from you.
00:52:48I don't know
00:52:48what other messages,
00:52:49just the ones we've seen
00:52:50from Julia.
00:52:51Just from me?
00:52:51Yeah.
00:52:52But this is what
00:52:53I'm saying,
00:52:53David,
00:52:54that was a group text
00:52:55with Mel,
00:52:56Brooke,
00:52:56Gia,
00:52:57and myself.
00:52:58And I'm not gonna
00:52:59throw anyone else
00:53:00under the bus
00:53:00because I know
00:53:01what it's like
00:53:01when I've been
00:53:02thrown under the bus
00:53:02and it's,
00:53:03you know,
00:53:03and I have to take
00:53:04responsibility for,
00:53:05you know,
00:53:05my actions,
00:53:06which I do.
00:53:09It pisses me off.
00:53:12It annoys me
00:53:13that Gia,
00:53:15she's the most
00:53:16manipulative person
00:53:17I've ever met
00:53:18in my life.
00:53:19Gia sent them
00:53:20to Julia,
00:53:20even though she
00:53:21wasn't in the experiment.
00:53:24Like,
00:53:25what was the point
00:53:26in sending
00:53:27those messages?
00:53:29Why are you doing that?
00:53:30You want me
00:53:31to be in trouble?
00:53:32Babe,
00:53:33I'm the one
00:53:33that takes
00:53:34accountability,
00:53:35apologises
00:53:35when I'm wrong
00:53:36and moves on
00:53:38to try and
00:53:38be a better
00:53:39human being.
00:53:40For me,
00:53:41it's like
00:53:41you've sent
00:53:42text messages
00:53:43that I've sent
00:53:45but not what
00:53:46you've sent,
00:53:47right?
00:53:47And not what
00:53:48anyone else sent.
00:53:49Like,
00:53:50I get it that
00:53:50Alicia and David
00:53:51are being used
00:53:52as pawns
00:53:53in this
00:53:53vicious game.
00:53:55I just can't
00:53:56believe I've
00:53:56hurt you guys
00:53:57so much.
00:53:58I'm so sorry.
00:54:00Sorry,
00:54:00I don't mean
00:54:00to get emotional.
00:54:01But I kind of
00:54:02feel sorry
00:54:03for myself
00:54:03because
00:54:04it's all
00:54:05coming down
00:54:05on me.
00:54:06I'm sorry.
00:54:07That's all right.
00:54:10It's just
00:54:10tiresome.
00:54:11It's tiresome.
00:54:12And
00:54:13it's like
00:54:16it's taught me
00:54:17never to put
00:54:18anything in
00:54:18text messages,
00:54:19that's for sure.
00:54:29feedback week
00:54:30continues.
00:54:32And Scott
00:54:33is returning
00:54:34to share
00:54:35Stella's advice
00:54:36with Gia,
00:54:37unaware that
00:54:38she has refused
00:54:39to participate
00:54:40in the partner
00:54:41swap.
00:54:45I didn't go
00:54:46on my feedback
00:54:47meeting today.
00:54:49I had a gut
00:54:49feeling and it
00:54:50was Danny.
00:54:51You know,
00:54:52I snapped a little
00:54:53bit and I just
00:54:54needed to regroup
00:54:56and just relax
00:54:57and block things
00:54:58out and wait
00:54:59for Scott,
00:54:59really.
00:55:00So I listened
00:55:01to Coldplay on
00:55:02the balcony
00:55:02like a depressed
00:55:03woman.
00:55:09What are you
00:55:10doing sitting
00:55:10out there?
00:55:15Tell you what,
00:55:16there was a bit
00:55:16of heat in the room
00:55:17when I walked
00:55:17in the door.
00:55:18Oof.
00:55:20Gia has had
00:55:21the doors open
00:55:22and she's just
00:55:23looking outside
00:55:23and I've never
00:55:24seen Gia have
00:55:25the doors open.
00:55:28How'd you go?
00:55:28How'd you go?
00:55:29I didn't go on it.
00:55:30You didn't go on it?
00:55:31No.
00:55:34I didn't do it.
00:55:39I don't really give
00:55:40a fuck for anyone's
00:55:41feedback at this
00:55:41point.
00:55:43There's no one's
00:55:43relationship that I
00:55:44want to copy.
00:55:45There's no one here
00:55:45that I think is
00:55:46doing better.
00:55:46There's no one here
00:55:48that's advice would
00:55:49be better than what
00:55:50I think you and I
00:55:51are doing already.
00:55:52So I just thought
00:55:53fuck that.
00:55:54I'm not doing it.
00:55:56And I feel like it
00:55:57was going to be
00:55:57Danny.
00:55:58So I didn't do it.
00:56:00That's alright.
00:56:02It could have
00:56:03gone two ways.
00:56:03I could have
00:56:03sat down and
00:56:04been fake and
00:56:05been nice and
00:56:06I just know that
00:56:07would have turned
00:56:07into an argument
00:56:10because he thinks
00:56:10I'm a liar.
00:56:11I think he's a liar.
00:56:12It wouldn't have
00:56:12been good.
00:56:13And then I
00:56:14thought if I go
00:56:15and he sees me
00:56:16and then I
00:56:17leave he's going
00:56:18to say oh my
00:56:19God she's so
00:56:19dramatic she can't
00:56:20even have a
00:56:20conversation.
00:56:21So I was like
00:56:21it's best I
00:56:22remove myself from
00:56:23the potential drama
00:56:24that could happen
00:56:25today.
00:56:26To be honest I
00:56:26don't care.
00:56:27It's fine that
00:56:28you didn't go.
00:56:29Scott.
00:56:29I'm not going
00:56:31to hang out
00:56:31with somebody
00:56:31even for two
00:56:33seconds that
00:56:34disrespects me.
00:56:35It's not
00:56:36happening.
00:56:37So.
00:56:38Yeah I agree.
00:56:39Yeah.
00:56:40Yeah the only
00:56:41thing I was
00:56:41surprised was that
00:56:42Gia just didn't
00:56:44attempt the task
00:56:45because for me
00:56:46to be honest it's
00:56:47good to listen to
00:56:48someone else's
00:56:48perspective when
00:56:49you give them
00:56:50you know an
00:56:51overlook on the
00:56:51relationship and
00:56:52where we're
00:56:59sitting.
00:57:00Anyway you
00:57:01go.
00:57:03I saw
00:57:04Stella.
00:57:09Okay what'd

00:57:20the same in the
00:57:20next couple weeks

00:57:21That to me makes
00:57:22me scared and
00:57:23pressured.
00:57:25Ultimatum.
00:57:25Yeah pretty
00:57:26much.
00:57:27Oh dear.
00:57:32Um you know

00:57:40bit nervous to
00:57:40say what was

00:58:25but when I
00:58:26felt there's a
00:58:28bit of tension

00:58:30little bit nervous
00:58:31to say what was
00:58:32said a bit
00:58:34well for starters
00:58:35this was like at
00:58:36the end though

00:58:48what's it
00:58:49called your
00:58:49chakra and

00:58:56well maybe
00:58:57the crystal
00:58:57gives you
00:58:58good energy

00:58:59should I
00:58:59put it
00:58:59between my
00:59:00tits
00:59:00I don't
00:59:00know
00:59:00I need
00:59:01it
00:59:01probably
00:59:02actually
00:59:03thanks Stella

00:59:04take it

00:59:14so um
00:59:16but what else
00:59:18was there

00:59:18I think
00:59:19since at the
00:59:21moment you
00:59:22are not giving
00:59:22her any
00:59:24worries
00:59:24you're not giving
00:59:25her any drama
00:59:26she's seeking
00:59:26that drama
00:59:27outsourcing the
00:59:28drama to
00:59:28fulfil her
00:59:29internal need
00:59:30that's probably
00:59:31a very deep
00:59:32conversation that
00:59:33you probably
00:59:33would need to
00:59:34have
00:59:35to be honest
00:59:36the advice I
00:59:37got was quite
00:59:37reasonable I
00:59:38feel
00:59:39we were just
00:59:40rehashing stuff
00:59:41that you and
00:59:41I have already
00:59:41spoken about
00:59:43you know what
00:59:44I mean I said

00:59:44good now and
00:59:45stuff I said
00:59:45we just found
00:59:46difficult to go
00:59:46through a hurdle
00:59:47where you know
00:59:50you're you're
00:59:50don't want to
00:59:51go through this
00:59:52whole experiment
00:59:52and I haven't
00:59:53met the same
00:59:54feelings yet
00:59:55if that makes
00:59:56sense
00:59:56and she just
00:59:57said go with
01:00:01every day like
01:00:01just not think
01:00:03about or talk
01:00:04about when
01:00:04Scott didn't
01:00:05say he's in
01:00:06love with me

01:00:28manage her emotions
01:00:29and her emotional
01:00:30turmoil what she's
01:00:31experiencing right
01:00:32now which is very
01:00:33secluded it's it's a
01:00:34bubble we spoke a
01:00:37little bit about the
01:00:38outside noise and
