00:00:01You're special and I am in love with you.
00:00:05Philip finally confessed those magic words.
00:00:09Oh God, I feel like I'm going to cry.
00:00:12But Stella was left feeling triggered.
00:00:15Fear of rejection, not rejection, abandonment.
00:00:17So I'm dealing with that right now.
00:00:21Despite Rachel and Steven's romantic progression.
00:00:25Made second base.
00:00:27And we've had...
00:00:30They became the butt of the joke at the couple's retreat.
00:00:34Don't even want to be around here anymore.
00:00:37When the group turned on Beck and Danny.
00:00:39Every night you've been the dumbest.
00:00:42The pair made an abrupt exit.
00:00:46And at the dinner party...
00:00:47I've got all this in the screenshots.
00:00:49I've got it in text messages.
00:00:50Gia declared she was sitting on explosive evidence against Beck.
00:00:54I could ruin everything for her right now.
00:00:57She said...
00:00:58Oh!
00:00:59Are you kidding?
00:01:02Tonight.
00:01:04Beck has gotten away with a lot in this experiment.
00:01:07She's done a lot of things wrong by a lot of people.
00:01:10So I think the screenshots, if they are aired out, they help me because what I've been saying this whole
00:01:16time is she is a calculated evil person.
00:01:18And those screenshots show that.
00:01:21With only three commitment ceremonies remaining, the stakes have never been so high.
00:01:28I'm just excited for the next four weeks and see where we end up.
00:01:31I do see a future with her, unfortunately.
00:01:35I love you.
00:01:36Yeah, put me on the spot a little bit.
00:01:38But are all of our couples on the same page?
00:01:44Um...
00:01:46If you're so terrified of making someone pregnant, maybe just do a snip.
00:01:50It's the sensitive topic...
00:01:52Has anyone heard of condoms?
00:01:54...that will leave some divided.
00:01:56It's reversible.
00:01:58But it's a procedure.
00:02:00...before Stella's blindside...
00:02:03...threatens to tear apart the experiment's strongest couple.
00:02:07If I'm being honest with myself and with Philip...
00:02:12...this is a breakup.
00:02:14No.
00:02:17Will Gia reveal her evidence against Beck?
00:02:20We do not like you.
00:02:21Don't lie about me then.
00:02:22You're trying to make me look bad.
00:02:23You're interrupting our couch session. Shut up.
00:02:26And...
00:02:26I don't think this experiment is for me.
00:02:30What causes not one...
00:02:32Jules.
00:02:33No.
00:02:33Did you just hear that?
00:02:34But two participants to storm out.
00:02:37She's gone.
00:02:53It's the morning of the fifth commitment ceremony of the experiment.
00:02:57And despite the intensity of the week...
00:03:00...our couple's connections have become even stronger.
00:03:04Gosh, you're torn.
00:03:07I'm really grateful for you.
00:03:13After reluctantly finding themselves in the spotlight at the retreat...
00:03:18...last night's dinner party helped Rachel and Stephen regain their strength as a couple.
00:03:24Yeah, I'm feeling good about us and...
00:03:27Yeah.
00:03:27You know, the dinner party wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be.
00:03:31I feel like we came out really, really good.
00:03:32And also a bit of PDA in front of the group, babe.
00:03:35Happy New Year.
00:03:37Happy New Year.
00:03:38Happy New Year.
00:03:39Yay!
00:03:43I was a happy girl.
00:03:46Like...
00:03:46Yeah.
00:03:47Very, very happy.
00:03:48Last week at retreat, like...
00:03:50It wasn't just one of us coming under, like, that humiliation.
00:03:54It was our relationship and we had to work through that as a couple.
00:03:58And what that really showed me is when there are trying times, we can work through that.
00:04:05And that's really, really reassuring.
00:04:07Yeah, I'm feeling good about us and, uh...
00:04:09Hopefully we can move forward and no more hiccups.
00:04:12But at the same time...
00:04:13It feels like there's still, like, you know, some awkward tension simmering at the top.
00:04:19I don't know if Juliet maybe wanted to say more to Beck or...
00:04:22I hope not.
00:04:24Can I just say, my husband and I are done.
00:04:28We're done talking about retreat.
00:04:30On that note, I think we should make some coffee.
00:04:32Thanks for that.
00:04:34You want a coffee?
00:04:35Yes, please.
00:04:36No worries.
00:04:37Oh, my gosh.
00:04:38He's never done this before.
00:04:46The pressure of the retreat also took a toll on Beck and Danny.
00:04:52Who came close to leaving the experiment for good.
00:04:56But through it all, they found resilience in their relationship.
00:05:00And to lift spirits, today, Danny has a small surprise for Beck.
00:05:05So I've got you a card and your favourite chocolate bar.
00:05:10You're so cute.
00:05:13And it's got a gift in the card.
00:05:18There's two date cards which can be cashed in any time.
00:05:21You're so cute.
00:05:25You're so cute.
00:05:29Me and Beck, we've never been in a better place than at the minute, you know, we're in a really
00:05:33good place.
00:05:34We're really united, really strong.
00:05:37And yeah, things are really progressing well for me and Beck, so it's nice.
00:05:41I am so happy that we didn't leave.
00:05:44I left the retreat thinking there was more hate than there was love, so I'm really glad that we chose
00:05:50to stay.
00:05:50Yeah.
00:05:51Last night, I was really, really anxious before going into the dinner party.
00:05:55I was obviously apprehensive going in, not knowing what I was going to, not knowing what I was getting into.
00:06:01Didn't know if Juliet was going to attack again.
00:06:04And even though Jira and Juliet sat on the couch and didn't come up to us, there was more love
00:06:10in that room for us than there was hate.
00:06:12I think it went well. I was a bit disappointed with the apology. She tried to fluff around it.
00:06:18For me, when it comes to Juliet, I do not want anything to do with her.
00:06:25I accept her apology on the surface, but we will never, ever, ever, ever be friends.
00:06:32I think Juliet apologised because the experts were watching.
00:06:36My delivery and me calling you names was disgusting and vile, and I definitely should have not done that.
00:06:43But in the heat of the moment, I felt angry.
00:06:47Just kind of felt like, you know, you were speaking for Rachel's relationship and saying that they were in a
00:06:53massive fight.
00:06:55The argument at retreat was between Rachel and I, and Juliet's excuse was, I was standing up for Rachel.
00:07:02No, honey. You weren't standing up for Rachel. This is just the crux of who you are.
00:07:08Beck and Danny aren't the only couple reflecting on Juliet's behaviour last night.
00:07:13I'm so stoked and I'm so relieved that Juliet didn't pop off at Beck, otherwise I was going to step
00:07:21in because it was getting a bit too much.
00:07:22So, I'm really thankful that we didn't have to get to that point, and Juliet actually articulated herself well.
00:07:28She apologised, she seemed genuine, and yeah, I'm glad it didn't escalate.
00:07:33Yeah, I thought it went well.
00:07:35I wouldn't go as far as saying I'm proud of Juliet.
00:07:37I feel like she fucked up the exact same way two times back to back, and kind of still had
00:07:42a lot of buts and rebuttals to everything last night.
00:07:45Well, for me, I'm proud of her. She's my friend, so I'm proud of her.
00:07:49You're allowed to be proud of her.
00:07:50Yeah.
00:07:51I'm just saying that, like, I just feel like I'm going to keep her at arm's length because I still
00:07:55just don't trust her much at the moment.
00:07:57I see it as a small step that she apologised, and she didn't go back to the old Juliet, and
00:08:02for that reason I'm proud of her.
00:08:03So, I'll stick with that.
00:08:05Yeah.
00:08:05Yeah.
00:08:06You don't have to have the same opinion as me.
00:08:07No, no, I didn't say I had to. I'm just telling you I'm proud of her.
00:08:10Yeah, yeah.
00:08:10Yeah, cool.
00:08:19I'm just feeling defeated, I guess.
00:08:23Juliet has woken this morning, still upset about last night's intense dinner party.
00:08:31It was just me being empathetic for Rach's situation and feeling it, like, in full force.
00:08:38Like, that's what I do as an empath. I feel people's pain in full force, and I take it on.
00:08:45Which, like, I probably should have not done for someone who was just going to help kick me down a
00:08:51bit further.
00:08:51And that's what I felt like Rach did.
00:08:54Like, I feel like I would never, ever, ever help to, like, humiliate and shame someone who stood up for
00:09:02me in any degree, really.
00:09:04I just feel like I've been, like, a rock for so many people this week.
00:09:10And when time came to it, I didn't see those people around me.
00:09:17The only reason I have this situation with Bec right now is because I've been defending others all week over
00:09:24it, feeling their hurt and joining in on it.
00:09:26Like, I'm here to be a rock and an empath to people.
00:09:31I just hope to get the same back sometimes.
00:09:35Have you spoken to Gia since last night?
00:09:38Um, she's checked in on me this morning.
00:09:40Do you think you guys will be okay going in?
00:09:43Yeah, I definitely love her.
00:09:45I'm right or die for Gia.
00:09:47Do you think Gia's still right or die for you?
00:09:50Yeah, I mean, her texting me this morning to check in.
00:09:53And I've also got a missed call from her.
00:09:57Like, that's really nice.
00:09:59And I love her and I miss her.
00:10:00And I think when I saw that, like, tea stream down my face, because I really, really, really, really love
00:10:05her.
00:10:08If someone has bitched about Gia, yeah, like, I'm done with them.
00:10:11And, obviously, that gets me caught in other situations.
00:10:17It's my character, though.
00:10:18I'm a right or die for my friends.
00:10:29As the commitment ceremony draws closer, our couples are all getting set to face the experts.
00:10:43But for one participant, tonight's focus has been shifted to exposing another bride in the experiment.
00:11:00Gia has been sitting on some damning text messages written by Beck.
00:11:07But instead of planning to reveal the messages herself, Gia has chosen to share the text messages with another participant.
00:11:21That's the fact that the film's her friend is a native character, who really likes to get a new movie.
00:11:22And, of course, I'm not the only player who kicks with a wizard now, but he can be obsessed with
00:11:29something else.
00:11:29And yet, he's always been to me who wants to share the Incredible People'sials of the Day.
00:11:35He's a brave woman but I can tell her.
00:11:35What is the truth?
00:11:35It's not a good one.
00:11:35It's not a good one.
00:11:35It's not a good one.
00:11:35He's a great one.
00:11:36I guess it's not a great one.
00:11:36Can you take a good one?
00:11:37It's not a good one.
00:11:44It's not a great one.
00:11:45You look stunning as always
00:11:47Thanks, how do you give it a ceremony?
00:11:49I know
00:11:50A bit interesting at the moment though, I gotta say
00:11:53Why? What's wrong?
00:11:55Last night I was talking to Juliet
00:11:58I showed her some screenshot of some things that Bec's been saying
00:12:02using disgusting language
00:12:04So then I actually was getting my nails done
00:12:07and when I walked into the nail salon
00:12:09Bec was leaving the nail salon
00:12:12and started talking shit about Juliet
00:12:15So I called Juliet and I said
00:12:16Hey, just letting you know, I ran into Bec
00:12:18She said this and she's like, cool
00:12:19Well, I'm sick of this bitch talking about me
00:12:22So she's gone and printed out some screenshots
00:12:24So that if the experts come at her for using that language
00:12:27I'm sure Bec will deny using that language
00:12:29and go, oh, I don't talk like that
00:12:31Juliet will probably just drop a screenshot of Bec saying language like that
00:12:37I don't agree with the language Juliet used
00:12:40I think it was a bit inappropriate and too far
00:12:42but the screenshots show that Bec is very comfortable using that kind of language
00:12:48So I don't know
00:12:49Like I don't know what way it's gonna go tonight
00:12:52Some things in the message that were really disgusting
00:12:54Bec has gotten away with a lot of shit in this experiment
00:12:57She's done a lot of things wrong by a lot of people
00:12:59Some of them are still unaware that she's done this behind closed doors
00:13:02So I think the screenshots if they are aired out
00:13:07They helped me because what I've been saying this whole time
00:13:10Is she is a calculated evil person
00:13:11And those screenshots show that
00:13:15I don't blame Juliet
00:13:16She's she's now got them in her hands
00:13:18And she's gonna do what she's gonna do with them
00:13:20So if Juliet feels that she needs to do this tonight
00:13:23Then Juliet should do this
00:13:25Shit
00:13:27Uh, yeah
00:13:29I don't know, I don't know what to expect
00:13:32Could blow out a proportion, that's for sure
00:13:34Whatever happens, happens
00:13:35Yeah
00:13:37Nothing's gonna affect us, so
00:14:03Good evening
00:14:04Good evening, gentlemen
00:14:05Hi
00:14:06Hello
00:14:06Welcome gents
00:14:08Hello
00:14:09Experts
00:14:10Hello
00:14:11Good evening, welcome
00:14:14Welcome
00:14:24Hello ladies and gents
00:14:26Hello
00:14:28Hello
00:14:29Hello
00:14:29Hello
00:14:33Hey bub
00:14:33Darling, how are you going?
00:14:39Here
00:14:40Come
00:14:43Welcome everybody to the fifth commitment ceremony
00:14:46Now it has been a very eventful week for all of you
00:14:50Coming off the back of a couples retreat
00:14:55Now we do this task and it is a pivotal one
00:14:58Every single time during the experiment
00:15:00So that we can see how you operate as couples
00:15:06Outside of your normal environment
00:15:08And how your relationship sustains a different type of pressure
00:15:14Certainly from the dinner party that occurred last night
00:15:18The group has experienced some division
00:15:24We will look at this as well as the individual couples that sit here tonight
00:15:30To find out exactly how you're travelling along
00:15:34But also particularly to get you to think about the very important question of whether or not you can take
00:15:42this relationship from the experiment into the real world
00:15:48And on that note
00:15:49Let's get our first couple up
00:15:56Jira and Scott
00:15:58Great
00:15:59How are you going?
00:16:02Hello
00:16:02Hello you two
00:16:03Hello
00:16:04Welcome
00:16:08Alright you two
00:16:09Well why don't we kick off with the couples retreat
00:16:11How was it?
00:16:13Do you want to talk?
00:16:14Yeah go
00:16:14Oh
00:16:18Um
00:16:19I don't know it was quite chill for us
00:16:21Well throughout the days
00:16:22It wasn't chill
00:16:22No throughout
00:16:23Throughout the days
00:16:24I look at the good stuff
00:16:27Like it was just a lot the retreat to be honest
00:16:29It was just really emotional
00:16:30I think a lot of us are drained from it to be honest
00:16:33Can you tell us a little bit about what you experience and how it's affected your relationship?
00:16:39Uh to be honest it hasn't affected our relationship any of the drama
00:16:43I it hasn't at all we've been like he even said the last two days like we're the closest we've
00:16:47ever been
00:16:48I think like
00:16:50You know he's called me his soul mate at the dinner party like I just want to focus on like
00:16:54the positives
00:16:54Because I've been involved in drama too much and it's taken a toll on me to be honest
00:17:00I just don't want to focus on it anymore to be honest I think we're near the end
00:17:04And everyone's focusing and should be focusing on our relationships and that's what we're doing
00:17:08And I think when we shut out all that drama like
00:17:11We're even better
00:17:12We're great
00:17:14That's just other shit
00:17:15It's got nothing to do with us
00:17:17It doesn't affect our actual relationship
00:17:20Because what we have together is real and that's all that matters so
00:17:23Respectfully for them too I won't talk to them anymore
00:17:25That's because I want to carry on my relationship
00:17:27And I think it's not good we interact because all it does is bring drama to us
00:17:30Were you and Danny friends?
00:17:32We were
00:17:34Like it does suck because we had a good friendship but
00:17:36Well that's one of the things that you know we need to bring up
00:17:40What we saw at the dinner party was that you've actually had to lose a friendship
00:17:45As a result of some of the drama
00:17:47Exactly
00:17:49When I walked in the dinner party with Bec
00:17:51Scott didn't get up to even acknowledge we were in the room
00:17:55I was just a bit disappointed that as a man and as a gentleman you didn't get up to say
00:18:00Hello to me and my wife
00:18:02We're doing that so we aren't involved in drama anymore
00:18:05It's difficult you know at the retreat you yelled out at me that I'm a liar in front of people
00:18:09So like how do you expect my husband's gonna react to that?
00:18:11You lied about me as well Gia
00:18:13Yeah but we're trying to move forward and you're interrupting our card session shut up
00:18:29You lied about me as well Gia
00:18:31Yeah but we're trying to move forward and you're interrupting our card session shut up
00:18:41We don't care anymore
00:18:42Okay
00:18:43We didn't say hello to both of you because we do not like you either
00:18:47That's fine don't lie about me though
00:18:48So we're not gonna go say hi fake how are you
00:18:50Enough
00:18:51Not doing it we're done
00:18:53Alright let's go back to Scott and Gia
00:18:56Yes please thanks
00:18:57I just want to move on my relationship because that's all that matters
00:19:00That's all we care about that's what I came here for
00:19:02I didn't come here for high school shit
00:19:04I came here to find the love of my life and that's it
00:19:09But to be fair
00:19:12Your involvement in the drama has been there right throughout the experiment
00:19:17So we've got to hold you to account and say there is a reason why there's drama
00:19:23Swirling around the two of you
00:19:25What you're saying now is that you're making a concerted decision to move away from it
00:19:30Right
00:19:33Do you think you can do that
00:19:36Last dinner party I didn't say anything and I should have and I didn't
00:19:39So I wanted to back Juliet and I just I said to myself I can't get involved anymore
00:19:45I can't get involved
00:19:47So Gia how's your relationship been able to move forward through this conflict and not collapse under that pressure
00:19:57I'll just ignore the shit
00:20:00Also I feel like our connection is too strong like there's no way and this just proves it to me
00:20:07all the shit can get thrown at us and it our relationship doesn't change
00:20:11Well I do like and I told you John when I met you what I was after and I said
00:20:16my number one thing is I've never had a man back me in my life
00:20:19So when he does this like yeah like this is all I asked for
00:20:27I've just never had like a soul connection like this in my life like I don't think much could waver
00:20:32it to be honest
00:20:33So have you fallen in love with him?
00:20:36I'm not saying that John
00:20:39What are you waiting for?
00:20:40Him
00:20:41Yeah, because I feel like he knows where I'm at and I need him to say it first to be
00:20:48honest
00:20:50For me like I don't know what it is like I don't know whether I'm scared or it's fear
00:20:54I don't know what it is
00:20:56Maybe I'm just pressured to force that love quicker than what it should be
00:21:00For me I just there's something in my mind like I just I need more of this outside world in
00:21:05before I can really give that true love
00:21:07But I know I'm getting there and I know it'll probably happen
00:21:10So have you two talked about the future and specifically what your relationship would look like?
00:21:15We've spoken a lot about we've been looking on real estate
00:21:17We've been looking at houses and like I got a quote from a mover already like I'm like we're doing
00:21:21it
00:21:23Yeah, we have like we've already looked at areas and places to get a house and stuff because I need
00:21:28to get a bigger place but
00:21:30Well, I have to say that I really have enjoyed how raw and honest you've been tonight with us
00:21:38And had each other's back and you're very invested in one another and that's what we love to see
00:21:45So on that note, we're gonna go to the decision
00:21:48I think we're pretty unshakable and I'm really excited to move forward and see what the future holds for us
00:21:53So I've got the stay and I've got the Gold Coast
00:21:56Oh wow, Judy
00:21:58Look at that manifesting aren't you?
00:22:01Yeah, I am actually
00:22:02We're just, I don't know, we're so friggin' good
00:22:05Like there's not much to say, I just bring on the challenges because we already just hit the end of
00:22:09the road so
00:22:10Yeah
00:22:10I wrote stay with the bath because we had the bath in the retreat
00:22:13Oh my god, that's so cute
00:22:17We won that race, sorry guys
00:22:20This is what we want at these commitment ceremonies, opening up, getting raw and really exposing yourselves and you've done
00:22:26that
00:22:27And you've shown who you are and you've also shown particularly that you have strong feelings for one another
00:22:34So keep it up, you can go back to the group
00:22:37Thanks guys
00:22:38Thank you
00:22:56Well done guys
00:22:56Bec
00:22:58Respect your hand
00:23:01Hello you two
00:23:02Hello
00:23:03Hello
00:23:04How are we?
00:23:11Shall we start the couples retreat?
00:23:15And then just move forward from there, Bec?
00:23:18Sure
00:23:19Uh, what's your take on what happened at the couples retreat and how it landed for you?
00:23:27Um, I made a poor choice in words in a speech on the first night
00:23:32And it was a distasteful joke that was not meant maliciously
00:23:36And I've apologised to Rachel and Stephen a number of times
00:23:40Um
00:23:43I didn't say it expecting to upset Rachel and I understand why it did
00:23:50And, um, I'm sorry to you both again
00:23:54From that came
00:23:59A really bad few days for me
00:24:01Personally
00:24:02Um
00:24:04It just turned into sort of a pylon
00:24:06A little bit
00:24:07I was isolated and
00:24:11You know, one day I was just in bed crying for hours
00:24:16So yeah, it was hard for me
00:24:18It opened my eyes to maybe, you know, when I have been
00:24:23Curt and unkind to people in the past at the beginning of this
00:24:26How that may have felt for Alyssa for example
00:24:28And that's just awful
00:24:32But through that hardship came something so beautiful
00:24:36And I could actually say thank you to those girls
00:24:39Because what they did was made my relationship tenfold stronger
00:24:43And us so much closer
00:24:45Because he didn't leave my side
00:24:48And I could depend on him
00:24:52So as a couple this really pressured situation that you're under has actually taken you to another level
00:25:03Tell me, how confident are you that, you know, this has the legs to actually go into the real world?
00:25:13Look, I've got to be honest, I'm scared
00:25:16I am, I'm scared
00:25:17And
00:25:18What are you scared about?
00:25:20I'm scared that I have, like, my feelings are stronger for Daniel than they, than his are for me
00:25:25Ah
00:25:26Sometimes
00:25:26Sorry babe
00:25:27Have you ever said that before to him?
00:25:29No
00:25:29Okay, so this is a very big moment for you
00:25:32And I'm scared that
00:25:33What, what makes you feel that way?
00:25:35I don't know, I just know how, how, how I, I look at him and I think I don't, I
00:25:42can't imagine my life without him now
00:25:45And I don't want to, but I don't know whether or not he feels that way about me
00:25:51Have you asked him?
00:25:53No
00:25:54Well now's as good a time as any
00:25:56Jesus Christ
00:25:58Put a man on the sport
00:26:00Um
00:26:03Um
00:26:08What's the question?
00:26:13The question is, can you envisage your life without me in it?
00:26:19Because I can't envisage my life without you in it now
00:26:33Because I'm just going through what we're going through, do you know what you mean?
00:26:38I think I show you how much I care about you
00:26:41I know, I know, I know, I know, yeah
00:26:42You know
00:26:42I know that you do
00:26:44I just, I just, I just look at you and I'm like, you're the best and I don't know if
00:26:50you look at me and think you're the best
00:26:53Sometimes
00:26:53I always do
00:26:54Do you?
00:26:55That was cute
00:26:55I just don't say it
00:26:56Thanks
00:26:58So describe your feelings for him
00:27:01Where are we at right now?
00:27:03Bec
00:27:04Come clean
00:27:10My feelings are extremely, extremely strong for Daniel
00:27:18Seriously, seriously strong
00:27:28I love you
00:27:30I love you
00:27:43That's extreme
00:27:45Jesus
00:27:51I don't, I don't even know what to say to that
00:28:01You don't have to reply
00:28:03I can't cope
00:28:10Extreme
00:28:14Uh, Danny, how did it feel to hear that?
00:28:17Yeah, it feels good
00:28:18Yeah, it feels good
00:28:18I'm shocked that she's just told me in front of everyone
00:28:21But yeah, it feels good
00:28:23Um
00:28:23Sorry, shall I have to save that for a special moment?
00:28:25No, no, of course not
00:28:26You can say it whenever you want
00:28:28But, um, yeah, I guess I'm just a bit thrown right now
00:28:33So, so Danny, I know that you, you're shocked, absolutely
00:28:36Because you weren't expecting that tonight
00:28:39But in saying that, um, what does it do to you?
00:28:43To hear that?
00:28:48I don't, I don't know how to answer for how does it make me feel
00:28:51Does it make you feel happy?
00:28:53Does it make you feel scared?
00:28:54Does it make you feel nervous?
00:28:55It doesn't make me feel scared to be honest with you
00:28:57Because why would it?
00:28:59Do you know what you mean?
00:29:00Like, I think that's a bit of a
00:29:02It just makes me feel happy, but not, not scared at all
00:29:05It doesn't make you feel like you want to do a marathon and run, right?
00:29:07No, I'm not the type of bloke to do that
00:29:09I, I don't think that Daniel's at that place
00:29:13But I would be lying if I didn't, if I wasn't honest with you right now
00:29:18That's how I feel
00:29:19I'm scared
00:29:21I'm really scared to feel this way
00:29:23It's really scary for me
00:29:27It's really adulting
00:29:29It's really adult of me
00:29:30And I, yeah, it's, yeah
00:29:32And this is why I'm nervous
00:29:34Because my feelings are so strong
00:29:36And I just want it to work out
00:29:40It's what I want
00:29:44Well look, on that note
00:29:46It has been an incredibly difficult week for you
00:29:50But, uh, wow
00:29:52You've had huge revelations tonight
00:29:55Uh, we want to go to the decision
00:29:58Stay or leave
00:30:00Bec, I'm pretty sure I know where this is headed
00:30:02L E A B E
00:30:03No, I'm just kidding
00:30:04Um, yeah
00:30:06Please don't run away from me
00:30:09I won't
00:30:09Relax
00:30:10Okay
00:30:10Well I wrote stay
00:30:12Lovely
00:30:14And I wrote thank you boo for his support at retreat
00:30:17Oh
00:30:20And for you, Danny
00:30:23And tonight I put
00:30:26Stay with a love heart
00:30:28That's cute
00:30:30Well done guys
00:30:31Very, very powerful
00:30:32Well done
00:30:33Thanks so much for the session
00:30:34Powerful good stuff
00:30:34Have a great week
00:30:35Uh, you can go back to the group
00:30:36Thanks guys
00:30:37Congratulations
00:30:43You too
00:30:45Oh
00:30:50Put the pressure on me, why don't ya?
00:30:55Oh
00:30:56I didn't know Bec was gonna come out with that
00:30:59You're in front of the whole experts, the group
00:31:01Um, yeah, put me on the spot a little bit but
00:31:04I think I dealt with it well
00:31:06No, then run away, right?
00:31:07Okay, relax
00:31:08I don't feel that you should tell someone you love them
00:31:11Unless you truly mean it
00:31:12Um, love's a massive thing
00:31:14And it's a word that shouldn't be chucked around loosely
00:31:16Um, so, look, she could tell me 10,000 times
00:31:19If I don't feel that I'm not gonna say it back
00:31:46Go bestie, go bestie
00:31:49Hello
00:31:50Hi
00:31:50Hello
00:31:53Oh, yeah.
00:31:56Comfy lounge.
00:31:59You two had a big week.
00:32:02Oh.
00:32:05Yeah, the retreat.
00:32:06The gift that keeps on giving.
00:32:09And the relationship-going places tell us about everything.
00:32:13Ah, you heard about that, did you?
00:32:15We were observing the dinner party and the cocktail party.
00:32:18Word gets around here, doesn't it?
00:32:19Well, yes.
00:32:21OK.
00:32:22Um, we'll start before the retreat.
00:32:24Um, you know, me and Rachel were, uh...
00:32:30You know, I'm doing well.
00:32:34It was a passionate moment.
00:32:37I felt connected with Rachel and...
00:32:39How passionate.
00:32:40It was really nice.
00:32:43I got that part.
00:32:46It was like, I've known, like, Stephen has expressed from many weeks ago that to increase intimacy would mean that
00:32:57he would need to feel more of an emotional connection to me.
00:33:01So it was really special because he obviously felt that with me.
00:33:08So, yeah, it was...
00:33:10It was a nice connecting moment and I just really felt...
00:33:15I could just feel our relationship start, like, take this trajectory.
00:33:19It was, yeah, it was really nice.
00:33:23Really connecting.
00:33:25But we've only increased intimacy that one time.
00:33:32Why has there been no follow-up on that?
00:33:38Um...
00:33:41OK, so...
00:33:42Um, obviously the next day was sort of the retreat.
00:33:48And this is where it all unfolds a little bit, so, um, Rachel expressed our good news to the group
00:33:58and there was a comment that was made, um, sort of in bad taste and, uh, Rachel, um, was really
00:34:07upset by the comment and it was just three days of carnage, really.
00:34:14Um, the retreat for me and Rachel was meant to be a sort of a getaway and a redemption from
00:34:20our honeymoon.
00:34:21Mm-hm.
00:34:22And it pretty much deteriorated from day one and, you know, night after night, um, you know, Rachel was, you
00:34:31know, sort of really upset and I guess to answer the question, um, yeah, the last thing I felt, you
00:34:37know, I was going to do is pull moves when Rachel was really sort of hurt.
00:34:41And I just, yeah, we just didn't, weren't in that mood.
00:34:50So, obviously we did hear from the cocktail and dinner party what the comments made were.
00:34:55And I guess my question to you, Rachel, is why did it have such a big impact that it lasted
00:35:01three days?
00:35:04So, we are talking about the comment that Bec made, correct?
00:35:08Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
00:35:09Um, in the moment that the comment was made now, I understand it wasn't made with malice, it wasn't made
00:35:15to make me feel any type of way.
00:35:17However, because I had shared, I chose my language very carefully when I shared with the entire group, that wording
00:35:27right at the end, it just felt like it cheapened it.
00:35:30I felt humiliated.
00:35:32So, it just, it just became this really big thing and it just didn't mean to be.
00:35:38Looking back and how I feel on that, I definitely was influenced by the information that was given to me.
00:35:45100%.
00:35:46By whom?
00:35:46Um, by Juliet and Gia.
00:35:52After reflection, I feel like I've been used as a pawn in something that is, there's still a rift between
00:36:02Juliet, Bec and Gia.
00:36:04And I feel like this situation kind of allowed them to, like, have something else to fuel up about.
00:36:14That's how I feel now.
00:36:16Yeah.
00:36:19So, you feel like Juliet and Gia used you as a pawn as a way to generate more drama with
00:36:26Bec because there's been clearly, um, a rift there in their relationship.
00:36:33To be fair, when Bec did make these comments with me, I said I didn't want any part of it.
00:36:41Bec was coming to me with this stuff.
00:36:43I said I didn't want the drama and she would cover her mic and say even more stuff about it.
00:36:48It's just a fabricated story.
00:36:49It didn't happen.
00:36:50I can't.
00:36:50I cannot.
00:36:51I did not want any of this.
00:36:53I was trying to not engage in it.
00:36:55And she was coming to me with it.
00:37:01And so this is, I guess, where I don't know.
00:37:05That's honestly just how I was feeling.
00:37:07I just didn't know what was real and what was real being told to me, what wasn't.
00:37:14And, yeah.
00:37:18Um, with it, it's just been a really emotional time.
00:37:21I call it the retreat hangover.
00:37:23Um, and it's just.
00:37:25That's a pretty good description.
00:37:26And it did interfere a little bit with our relationship.
00:37:32It called things off intimacy-wise.
00:37:35But in terms of our relationship, I felt like we got stronger as a couple.
00:37:43Because it was like, yes, there was a lot happening with our relationship.
00:37:47Like, you know, it felt like there was a lot outside doors about talking about our relationship.
00:37:52But when I was really upset, like, I just wanted my husband and he was there.
00:37:57And we were really connected that way.
00:37:59It just wasn't like intimacy.
00:38:03What's it like that for you, Stephen?
00:38:06At the moment, yeah, the intimacy thing is just not there.
00:38:09But I'm still close and connected with Rachel.
00:38:12I'm still comfortable.
00:38:13I mean, we're still having, you know, good dates together.
00:38:16And we're having fun together.
00:38:18We're laughing.
00:38:18So, you know, it's still good.
00:38:21I'm confident.
00:38:22Yeah, we're, we haven't gone backwards.
00:38:24I love the giggles.
00:38:25Oh, it's gorgeous.
00:38:27Love it.
00:38:28Yeah.
00:38:32With that, let's go to the decision.
00:38:35Um, Rachel.
00:38:37Yeah.
00:38:39Stay or leave?
00:38:40Um, look, this week was just so easy for me.
00:38:43And there's no way a man could call me a wonderful woman at a dinner party and not have me
00:38:48stick around.
00:38:49Simple as that.
00:38:54And Stephen?
00:38:55Uh, well, um, you know, we've come a long way in this experiment.
00:38:59I'm very happy with, uh, the direction it's, uh, going.
00:39:02And, um, I was going to draw a nice little picture for you to show how much I liked you.
00:39:07But I realized I can't draw.
00:39:10So, I wrote, stay.
00:39:13Oh, the little fish.
00:39:15Come fishing with me.
00:39:16She's a good catch.
00:39:19I will say this, big steps in the right direction on many fronts for the two of you this week.
00:39:27That step that you've already taken to getting more physically close and more physically comfortable,
00:39:33you're going to want to repeat.
00:39:35And I, and I really hope that that is a bit of a goal in terms of just really focusing
00:39:39on the things that bind you together
00:39:41and things that will help nourish that bond that you're constructing.
00:39:44So, focus on that in the next week.
00:39:47You can go back to the group.
00:39:50Well done, you guys.
00:39:51Good stuff.
00:39:56Good stuff.
00:40:00Oh.
00:40:03Coming up.
00:40:04And then I just said, oh God, I love you.
00:40:09Phillip's love.
00:40:11This can't be true.
00:40:13Stella's blind side.
00:40:15At the moment he doesn't see Sydney as a possibility to move and in my head, this is a breakup.
00:40:22And then.
00:40:24Express to me what your point is.
00:40:27You should be careful when I have screenshots of what you've said about Alyssa and David.
00:40:34Vile.
00:40:35It was vile.
00:40:36It was vile.
00:40:38It was vile.
00:40:40It was vile.
00:40:41It was vile.
00:40:42Vile.
00:40:49Our next couple tonight.
00:40:55Sam and Chris.
00:40:56Let's go.
00:41:00Hello.
00:41:01Hello, hello.
00:41:02Welcome.
00:41:03How are we doing?
00:41:05Well, how was retreat for you guys?
00:41:08It was good.
00:41:10I was always going into the retreat with the intention
00:41:12that I would make the next move,
00:41:15but there was a lot going on.
00:41:16So when we got back from the retreat,
00:41:19as he was unpacking, I just went into the bedroom
00:41:21and said, hey, Chris, come in here for a second.
00:41:24Wait, no, I was actually doing my laundry in my underwear.
00:41:27I had, like, all my clothes, and he's like,
00:41:29Chris, come here.
00:41:30I was like, yeah, what?
00:41:31And I was like, oh, right, OK.
00:41:33Just a bit short with me.
00:41:36And he made business.
00:41:38He made business, yeah.
00:41:39We broke the friend zone.
00:41:41So we're out of the friend zone.
00:41:42Excellent.
00:41:44Proud mama.
00:41:45Always, always.
00:41:47Yeah.
00:41:48So let me ask you this then.
00:41:50Mr. Slowburn.
00:41:52That's not what we call him here, is it?
00:41:53No, no, no.
00:41:54Not anymore.
00:41:55No, not anymore.
00:41:57Do you feel you're still burning slow?
00:42:01Right now there's feelings.
00:42:03I won't deny that because I wasn't going to act on any intimacy
00:42:06until there was, so that's a clear sign that there was.
00:42:08You know, I turned to you in the retreat and I said,
00:42:10like, I think of you as my boyfriend.
00:42:12And, like, that is what's changed, I guess,
00:42:15or has developed is probably a better word.
00:42:18And what about your feelings, Chris?
00:42:20Um, yeah.
00:42:21So my feelings for Sam have been pretty strong since I met him.
00:42:25Like, that's who I am.
00:42:26I'm like, yep, cute.
00:42:27You know, tick.
00:42:28Six foot.
00:42:29Like, tick.
00:42:29Blah, blah, blah.
00:42:30Um, so, yeah.
00:42:32Six foot three.
00:42:33Six foot three.
00:42:34Six foot three.
00:42:37And are you starting to think about life outside the experiment?
00:42:41I think what it would probably look like is just, like, say we go,
00:42:44well, everything ticks the boxes, we'd have a place in Sydney.
00:42:47So he'd go to Sydney.
00:42:48I would stay primarily at the farm
00:42:51and then maybe we can float back and forth for a bit
00:42:53from Sydney to the farm.
00:42:54Ah, someone's been thinking about this quite a bit of detail.
00:42:57Well, yeah.
00:42:57I think that's what it would look like if we are successful
00:43:00and I want us to be successful,
00:43:01but he has a lot of stuff to do in the city,
00:43:03whereas I'm, like, cool to be at the farm full time.
00:43:06Um, and I'm just excited for the next four weeks
00:43:08on this experiment and see where we end up.
00:43:11Well, we're going to go to a decision.
00:43:13Cool.
00:43:15Today, I wrote, stay.
00:43:18Yes, you did.
00:43:19I'm not yelling.
00:43:19It's just I'm very excited to be here.
00:43:21Very loud.
00:43:22Love it.
00:43:23Loud and proud.
00:43:25Yeah.
00:43:25Beautiful.
00:43:26And you, Chris?
00:43:27Okay.
00:43:27Pretty obvious.
00:43:28I also wrote, stay.
00:43:30Aw.
00:43:31Well, well done.
00:43:32Thank you so much.
00:43:36Thank you guys so much.
00:43:38Cheers.
00:43:40Cheers.
00:43:46Well done, guys.
00:43:47Thanks so much, guys.
00:43:49Yeah.
00:43:50Our next couple up on the couch.
00:43:55Alyssa and David.
00:44:00Hello, you two.
00:44:01Hello.
00:44:01Hey.
00:44:02How's it going?
00:44:04We're going well, but we're more interested in how you guys are going.
00:44:08Oh, okay.
00:44:09I can't shake him off.
00:44:10She can't kick me off her leg.
00:44:12Are you trying?
00:44:13I can't.
00:44:14Well, do you know what?
00:44:15I have tested.
00:44:16Yeah.
00:44:17I'm just being honest.
00:44:18I've tested.
00:44:19I've tried to shake him off and he won't leave.
00:44:20So, you know, he likes it.
00:44:23He obviously likes the challenge.
00:44:25I know this is very cute and playful, but do you like it?
00:44:30I'm not going to lie.
00:44:32It's not like, I won't say I like it, but I can handle it.
00:44:36She is obviously more of the storm and I'm calm.
00:44:41And for some reason, like, you know, I'm just so pulled towards that storm,
00:44:46but I find like I'm able to harbour that storm and it doesn't get to me.
00:44:50I even get happy talking about it.
00:44:52So, yeah, I can't explain it.
00:44:56So, Alyssa, you know, when you initially talked about some of the questions you've got around David
00:45:05and whether he challenges you, is it fair to say now that you're seeing his character,
00:45:11his calmness as being something that...
00:45:13It's challenging me.
00:45:15It's challenging you, but also that you're actually responding really well to.
00:45:19It actually is.
00:45:20Like, it's because it's a new thing for me to overcome and it's a good thing.
00:45:26I know that I, you know, I'm a bit of a menace sometimes, a bit loud, and I can be
00:45:31challenging,
00:45:32but he's, he is a pillar.
00:45:35He's a strong, safe place.
00:45:38It's another reason why I, I'm still drawn to Alyssa.
00:45:42It's because I know I'm good for her.
00:45:44I think we balance each other out really well.
00:45:46David, how do you feel about Alyssa?
00:45:49I feel like I'm still falling for Alyssa.
00:45:52I don't think anything's changed.
00:45:53Like, I do see a future with her.
00:45:55And I want her to know that she can't scare me off.
00:45:59Like, it doesn't scare me at all.
00:46:01I'm falling for you.
00:46:04Alyssa, how does that feel to hear that?
00:46:06It's really nice.
00:46:07Yeah.
00:46:08Like, it's really nice.
00:46:09Well, with that being the case, let's go to the decision.
00:46:13Like I said, I am falling for you, Alyssa.
00:46:16And, you know, I like every part about it.
00:46:18The bad, the good, the ugly, and...
00:46:21And the fun.
00:46:22And the fun.
00:46:22The fun.
00:46:23A lot of fun.
00:46:24Everyone can attest to that.
00:46:25She's a ball of fun.
00:46:27And I'm looking forward to seeing how the rest of this goes.
00:46:31So, yeah.
00:46:34Today, great stuff.
00:46:36Alyssa, what you got for us?
00:46:39Oh, well, I can't shake him off.
00:46:41Like, he's just hanging in there.
00:46:43So, I've decided to stick around.
00:46:46Love it.
00:46:50And on that note, go back to the group.
00:46:51We will.
00:46:52Well done, guys.
00:47:00Alright, let's get our next couple up.
00:47:09Stella and Phillip.
00:47:10Yay!
00:47:15Hello.
00:47:19Wow.
00:47:20A pre-emptive tissue grab.
00:47:22I'm coming prepared.
00:47:23Yeah.
00:47:24Coming prepared.
00:47:24Noted.
00:47:26I am curious.
00:47:27Why the tissue grab?
00:47:30I'm in a very sensitive mood.
00:47:35Yeah.
00:47:35Yeah.
00:47:37I've sensed that.
00:47:38So, what's going on for you?
00:47:40Um.
00:47:42It's okay.
00:47:44I think it all kind of unravelled when Phillip confessed his feelings.
00:47:53Um.
00:47:58Conversations got really heavy, really, really quick.
00:48:02Uh, so, the last commitment ceremony, Alessandra was saying, look, I don't understand the confusion
00:48:09here.
00:48:09You're dancing around.
00:48:10Talk about how you feel.
00:48:12Why don't you just tell her?
00:48:14So, uh, that night I told her, you know, come over here, come sit down.
00:48:19She thought she was in trouble.
00:48:21And then I just said, look, I, I, I love you.
00:48:27I'm feeling it, you know.
00:48:30And it felt good saying that.
00:48:32And you're right.
00:48:33You were right.
00:48:33Just express it.
00:48:34Just say it if you're feeling it.
00:48:38You're right.
00:48:39Stella, what specifically did that feel like for you, hearing that?
00:48:45I went into self-preservation mode.
00:48:49Um.
00:48:51And I think my big fear of abandonment came up to play.
00:48:55Okay.
00:48:57And, yeah, I, I don't know, but that reaction surprised me.
00:49:04Stella, did you tell Philip that you loved him back?
00:49:07I did in my own long-winded way.
00:49:13What does that mean?
00:49:16Um.
00:49:22Philip, did you receive an I love you?
00:49:25She's just, like, sent a long-winded way of saying it.
00:49:30So, Philip has shared to you that he has deep feelings for you.
00:49:36He's falling in love with you.
00:49:37He sees a future with you.
00:49:41What specifically did that feel like for you, hearing that?
00:49:52It felt...
00:49:56This can't be true.
00:50:04I don't know.
00:50:09I...
00:50:09I...
00:50:11I think...
00:50:13I do have an amazing human as my partner, who understands me.
00:50:18But the fact that he lives in Melbourne, I live in Sydney,
00:50:23this is going to be an issue for me.
00:50:28At the moment, he doesn't see Sydney as a possibility to move.
00:50:33Then, in my head, this is a breakup.
00:50:41So, from your perspective, Philip needs to move to Sydney, or it's off.
00:50:47If...
00:50:50If I'm being honest with myself and with Philip...
00:51:00It seems like that.
00:51:02It's...
00:51:03You know.
00:51:14It's going to have been very intense.
00:51:20And...
00:51:21So, from your perspective, Philip needs to move to Sydney, or it's off.
00:51:31If I'm being honest with myself and with Philip
00:51:41It seems like that
00:51:43I see it as a catch-22
00:51:53At the end of the whole experiment
00:51:55You go back to Melbourne
00:51:57And I feel like I can not love a man that's going to leave with me
00:52:03So unless he gives me clarity
00:52:06I can't be like, yes, I love you too
00:52:13Philip, how does that feel to hear that?
00:52:17I think that's unfair
00:52:20Because everything from day dot is
00:52:22I'm in Sydney, this is what's happening
00:52:25And just get on my program
00:52:27This is it, it's like this needs to happen
00:52:29Or it's not going to work
00:52:30That's a lot of pressure, yeah
00:52:33The relationships come with conditions straight off the bat
00:52:37So it is very difficult for myself, you know
00:52:44Sometimes she does talk to me in a certain way
00:52:46That takes me down a peg
00:52:49Give us an example, for instance
00:52:52Like questioning masculinity
00:52:54Because, you know, like
00:52:55Me not wanting to go out after a massive week
00:53:00And to start to turn around just going
00:53:01Well, that's very feminine, what you're saying
00:53:08That's a very feminine thing to do
00:53:11Sometimes you just need to go and do what you don't want to do
00:53:14Because that is the masculine thing to do
00:53:16And just saying that I'm not masculine
00:53:20That's very harsh
00:53:23It's not a masculine energy
00:53:24It's just a go energy that women and men can have
00:53:27To tell him that it's feminine
00:53:29And it's really attacking his masculinity
00:53:32Yeah
00:53:33I'm not sure if you're aware of the impact
00:53:36That words like that can have
00:53:39I don't want to push him away
00:53:40But, like, that's what kind of happens in the background
00:53:44I start to pick on him
00:53:47So it's like defense mechanism, I think, for me
00:53:51I wouldn't like that
00:53:52I wouldn't like to deal with me in those moments
00:53:59I have one question that pops to mind
00:54:02That I'm curious about
00:54:04How is the physical intimacy with one another?
00:54:09It's just not happening
00:54:13Just not happening
00:54:15Just a few short weeks ago
00:54:17It was a very different story from both of you in that respect
00:54:20With all the stuff mentally that was going on
00:54:23I felt like a little bit, you know, underappreciated
00:54:27And all this kind of stuff
00:54:28I'm like, well, why would I want to have sex like her?
00:54:30I don't feel like her right now
00:54:35The thing is, I'm not on any birth control
00:54:38And he's terrified for an accident to happen
00:54:44Oh, that's very easily solved
00:54:47Birth control
00:54:50I don't want to take tablets, personally
00:54:54I was like, hey, if you're so terrified
00:54:58Of making someone pregnant
00:54:59Maybe just do a snip
00:55:05So, um
00:55:09Has anyone heard of condoms?
00:55:10Yes, I was going to say
00:55:11In the meantime, it's very easily solved
00:55:14With a trip to the pharmacy
00:55:15Condoms, yeah
00:55:17Yeah, I don't like it
00:55:20The reality is that there is quite early
00:55:23To be making a decision such as that
00:55:25Especially if you're thinking you want children in the future
00:55:27They're reversible
00:55:28They're reversible, of course
00:55:30But it's a procedure
00:55:32Yeah
00:55:32There are other alternatives where you can make this work
00:55:35That really shouldn't be the factor
00:55:39To bring you guys apart
00:55:41So it almost seems like a little bit of an excuse
00:55:46Maybe
00:55:47To gloss over the disconnect
00:55:49Maybe a little bit
00:55:52Because I've just been getting thrown around the mental ringer
00:55:55So to speak
00:55:56Yes
00:55:57And I'm just like, do I even feel appreciated?
00:55:59Is this someone that I should really be attracted to
00:56:01And putting my sexual energy towards?
00:56:03Because I just don't
00:56:04Like, I just
00:56:05I feel sometimes that I've just taken for granted
00:56:10That's pretty major
00:56:11To say
00:56:13For me, it's just
00:56:14I just need to feel like I'm fully emotionally wanted
00:56:17Like someone's 100% into it
00:56:19Then I can fully give 100% of myself to them
00:56:22That's exactly what was happening early on
00:56:24From Stella, I felt
00:56:26And sometimes
00:56:27As this experiment's been going on
00:56:29There's just been little glimpses
00:56:31Where I've seen that she's not into it
00:56:33Sometimes
00:56:35And it just kind of gets in my head a little bit
00:56:37And I just withdraw a little bit of that attention
00:56:40You know
00:56:40Until I get it built back up again
00:56:42And then I feel comfortable to do it again
00:56:46You guys are at a really crucial stage of your relationship now
00:56:50And the conversations that you're having
00:56:52Are really, really important
00:56:55Stella
00:56:56Before you say something to him
00:56:59I want you to think about
00:57:01How's this going to land for him?
00:57:02How's this going to make Philip feel?
00:57:04Yeah
00:57:05Before you deliver it
00:57:07Yeah
00:57:07Because my sense is
00:57:09You might be having a few regrets
00:57:11Has that been happening?
00:57:13Yeah
00:57:13Yeah, yeah
00:57:13Absolutely
00:57:14After the fact
00:57:15Absolutely
00:57:15So let's try and eliminate that through self-awareness
00:57:18Which I know you have
00:57:18Yeah
00:57:47You guys have had a strong connection from the beginning
00:57:49That was a lot to take in
00:57:50Yes
00:57:51You know
00:57:51And I'm glad that you're
00:57:53You just kind of told me what's on your minds
00:57:55With that in mind
00:57:56I'm going to be writing
00:57:57I'm going to be writing Stay
00:57:57I love that
00:57:59And Stella
00:58:01Do you want to go?
00:58:02Yep
00:58:03I wrote Stay
00:58:11We've got work to do
00:58:12You've got a little work to do
00:58:13Yes
00:58:13That's all
00:58:14Have a great week
00:58:15Thank you
00:58:16Thank you
00:58:17You're welcome
00:58:17Good luck
00:58:24It's a very good truck
00:58:25Yeah
00:58:28Yeah
00:58:29Self-reservation comes in
00:58:31Of course
00:58:32In me being
00:58:33A little bitch
00:58:34Sorry
00:58:36It's all
00:58:40Keep going
00:58:41Have a good eyewear
00:58:48Coming up
00:58:49Jules
00:58:51Jules
00:58:52Tonight's dramatic conclusion
00:58:55Don't touch me
00:58:57I'm out
00:58:58I'm out
00:58:58I want to go back in a business
00:59:01No
00:59:01No
00:59:02No
00:59:12Last up on the couch
00:59:14Juliet and Joel
00:59:21Hello
00:59:23Hi
00:59:23Hi
00:59:24You too
00:59:24Oh hello
00:59:29What's happening?
00:59:34What's happening with you guys
00:59:35Last time at the commitment ceremony
00:59:37Juliet
00:59:38You wrote
00:59:39A stay
00:59:41And Joel
00:59:42You had written leave
00:59:43Then there's been
00:59:44Quite a turnaround
00:59:48Perfect couple alert
00:59:50Yeah
00:59:52Shaky
00:59:53Shaky last time
00:59:54It was shaky
00:59:55Yeah
00:59:55It was really shaky
00:59:57Um
00:59:57We hit rock bottom
01:00:00But um
01:00:01I think we've made quite a comeback
01:00:03I have to say
01:00:04I am
01:00:05I wasn't expecting such a
01:00:07Strong quick turnaround
01:00:09Because the things that were said
01:00:11Were
01:00:12So strong
01:00:13Yeah
01:00:13Um
01:00:13That I can see
01:00:15How it would have been difficult
01:00:16To come out of
01:00:18That space
01:00:19Especially for you Joel
01:00:21Well yeah
01:00:22Like
01:00:22What happened was
01:00:23The following day
01:00:24Um
01:00:25Juliet came into my apartment
01:00:26And she was crying
01:00:27And she apologised again
01:00:31And I really felt like
01:00:32It was heartfelt
01:00:33And um
01:00:35I accepted her apology
01:00:36It was like a reset button
01:00:40And so yeah
01:00:41We went
01:00:42Pub crawling
01:00:45This is what
01:00:45You know
01:00:46A couple of beers
01:00:47And a palmy does
01:00:49Yeah
01:00:49So um
01:00:50As
01:00:51We progressed
01:00:52Through the pubs
01:00:53Um
01:00:54There was a certain
01:00:55Warmness
01:00:56That was brewing
01:00:58And then we went back
01:00:59To the apartment
01:00:59And vibes were good
01:01:01One thing leads to another
01:01:03And uh
01:01:04Bit of hooking up
01:01:05You know
01:01:06Just a little bit
01:01:06Of hooking up
01:01:07Just a bit of hooking up
01:01:09Such a go
01:01:09And that was nice
01:01:12I think we had a lot of
01:01:13Kiss chemistry
01:01:14The kiss chemistry was strong
01:01:16Yeah
01:01:17Yeah it flipped
01:01:19Like I feel like
01:01:19The next day
01:01:20We both kind of texted each other
01:01:22And were like
01:01:22What was that
01:01:23Like I
01:01:24I yeah
01:01:25I completely saw Joel
01:01:26In a
01:01:27Completely different light
01:01:29Started feeling like
01:01:30I could trust him
01:01:31And I could feel like
01:01:32I wanted to be close with him
01:01:33And like kind of
01:01:34Yeah touch his leg
01:01:35And like yeah
01:01:36I guess
01:01:37When we did retreat
01:01:38I was like
01:01:39Why don't we give it a crack
01:01:40Like why don't we sleep
01:01:41In the same bed
01:01:42And see if there's
01:01:43Chemistry inside the bed
01:01:45And yeah
01:01:46It feels like he was like
01:01:48Giving protector energy
01:01:49Which is another thing
01:01:50I'm attracted to
01:01:52I think like
01:01:53Joel is brilliant
01:01:54In so many ways
01:01:56There's just
01:02:00You know
01:02:01In a time of crisis
01:02:03When I'm feeling like
01:02:03I'm in a situation
01:02:05I just hope that
01:02:06I would have more of a rock
01:02:09By my side
01:02:11When did you need that
01:02:12From Joel specifically?
01:02:14When we had the dinner party
01:02:18You know
01:02:18When I was apologising
01:02:20To Beck and Danny
01:02:21For my crude words
01:02:25I feel like
01:02:27The conversation was going on
01:02:29A lot longer
01:02:30And I kept trying to apologise
01:02:32To diffuse it
01:02:32Diffuse it
01:02:33Diffuse it
01:02:33And I just kind of
01:02:35Wanted Joel in that moment
01:02:36To just be like
01:02:38Look she's apologised
01:02:39And taken accountability
01:02:39Like I think
01:02:40We can take a pause
01:02:43And so I just kind of feel like
01:02:44I was fighting for myself
01:02:46A little bit
01:02:46And I admire how Danny
01:02:48Was standing up for his wife
01:02:50And being there by Beck's side
01:02:52And I see Scott do it
01:02:53For Gia as well
01:02:55You know
01:02:55Multiple times
01:02:56And David
01:02:58Doing it for Alyssa
01:02:59And
01:03:01And I just feel like
01:03:02I just didn't get that
01:03:08What do you say to that Joel
01:03:10I felt like
01:03:11Danny and Beck
01:03:13Were respectful to Juliet
01:03:16I felt like
01:03:17They were giving her
01:03:18A fair shake
01:03:20So
01:03:21I didn't feel the need
01:03:22To step in
01:03:23If they were
01:03:24Coming at her
01:03:25And attacking her
01:03:26And hurling insults at her
01:03:28I would have stepped in
01:03:30I just didn't see that
01:03:31And I think Juliet
01:03:33Has a different
01:03:33Perspective on what happened
01:03:39From
01:03:40Everything that happened
01:03:41Last week
01:03:42Yeah
01:03:43That was called out
01:03:44By Joel
01:03:45Because he was on
01:03:46The receiving end of that
01:03:49Why did you call
01:03:50Beck
01:03:51The names that you called Beck
01:03:54Why choose again
01:03:56To use very aggressive
01:03:59Very vicious
01:04:00Very vile
01:04:02Deliveries
01:04:03Towards somebody else
01:04:07I guess what I saw
01:04:09Was the exact same behavior
01:04:11Simply a different target
01:04:13Mm-hmm
01:04:13So why choose to go there again
01:04:22Honestly I've seen Beck say
01:04:24Much, much worse
01:04:28In the same category
01:04:29Multiple times
01:04:30To multiple people
01:04:31Does it matter?
01:04:32So
01:04:32We're not talking about
01:04:34Ex-behavior or about Beck
01:04:34I know but that's why
01:04:35I felt comfortable
01:04:35Doing it to Beck
01:04:36I'm talking about your behavior
01:04:37I know but that's why
01:04:38I felt comfortable
01:04:39Saying it to Beck
01:04:45Why do you think Beck
01:04:47Gets so under your skin?
01:04:50Um
01:04:51Because I think
01:04:52She gets away
01:04:52With a lot of her bad behavior
01:04:53Um I haven't seen her
01:04:56Take accountability
01:04:57For some of the things
01:04:58She also
01:05:00Claims
01:05:00She'll tell you one thing
01:05:02And then when you address it
01:05:03She'll claim you're lying
01:05:04That gets under my skin
01:05:06And I explode
01:05:07Really pisses me off
01:05:09Sorry you called me a
01:05:10Dumb effing
01:05:12And an effing freak
01:05:13Multiple times
01:05:15There we go
01:05:15Point
01:05:16Sorry excuse me
01:05:17Express to me what your point is
01:05:20This is why I feel angry
01:05:21Because you've done the wrong thing
01:05:24And you constantly say
01:05:25But but but but but
01:05:26Um you should be careful
01:05:28With how much you are upset
01:05:31About me saying that
01:05:34When I have screenshots
01:05:36Of what you've said
01:05:37About Alyssa and David
01:05:44Mmm
01:05:47Vile it was vile
01:05:50It was vile
01:05:51You said
01:06:11You should be careful
01:06:13With how much you are upset
01:06:16About me saying that
01:06:17When I have screenshots
01:06:19Of what you've said
01:06:20About Alyssa and David
01:06:22Vile
01:06:23It was vile
01:06:24It was vile
01:06:25You said
01:06:38Disgusting babe
01:06:39Express to me
01:06:40Express to me
01:06:41What your point is
01:06:42This is why I feel angry
01:06:44What are you trying to prove
01:06:45Because I'm disgusted
01:06:47You get away with everything
01:06:48What have I done to you
01:06:50Personally
01:06:50You try to trap me
01:06:52Into these conversations
01:06:53No it's how you try
01:06:55To get into my head
01:06:56I'm not
01:06:57I'm not talking to you
01:06:58About it anymore
01:06:59Thank you guys
01:07:00Bully me
01:07:03And I was not part of that
01:07:07Juliet
01:07:09So how do you have screenshots
01:07:22Screenshots
01:07:23Gia sent them to me
01:07:29Gia sent them to me
01:07:30What?
01:07:34Why would you do that Gia?
01:07:36She asked what she was like
01:07:37So I sent some screenshots
01:07:38Of like conversations
01:07:40I don't look great in them either
01:07:43She's so stupid
01:07:44And then I heard that you were excited
01:07:46That I was going to get
01:07:47Up on the CC couch
01:07:50Like that's a
01:07:50That's such an evil thing
01:07:52To hope for
01:07:54She said that to Gia
01:07:56At the nail salon
01:08:00I didn't say she's going to get
01:08:01I said
01:08:02You said
01:08:02Babe
01:08:03I said
01:08:04You said
01:08:05She said
01:08:07You're going to get
01:08:07In trouble for saying
01:08:08Dumb
01:08:09I said you were going to be
01:08:10Hold accountable
01:08:11For the way in which
01:08:12You spoke to me
01:08:13Yeah
01:08:13That's such an evil thing
01:08:15To hope for
01:08:16And that's why
01:08:17We came up with a plan
01:08:18Of let's address
01:08:19The screenshots then
01:08:21This is the time to use it
01:08:28So it was a plan
01:08:31Just to be clear Gia
01:08:32You sent the screenshots
01:08:34To Juliet
01:08:34With the intent
01:08:35That it be used
01:08:36Against Beck
01:08:37In her argument
01:08:40I said bad things
01:08:41In there too
01:08:41I didn't really want them out
01:08:44It just shows
01:08:45That
01:08:47Me calling her
01:08:48A DC
01:08:50Is
01:08:51It shouldn't have not been out
01:08:52Like blown away
01:08:53Into such a big thing
01:08:54When she's done much worse
01:09:03Wow
01:09:04Can I please
01:09:05Give you some insight
01:09:06Of course
01:09:08You could not be further
01:09:09From the truth
01:09:13It is shocking
01:09:14That you would think that
01:09:16Yeah
01:09:19It makes you look
01:09:20So much worse
01:09:22Okay
01:09:22For sure
01:09:23Than Beck
01:09:24It's like conscious
01:09:27Retaliation
01:09:27With the purpose
01:09:29To hurt
01:09:33I know
01:09:40And again
01:09:40And again you know
01:09:41I'm still
01:09:42I'm covering
01:09:42I'm covering up
01:09:43So much
01:09:46I'm covering up
01:09:47So much
01:09:47I just don't
01:09:48I don't think
01:09:48This experiment
01:09:49Is for me
01:09:50I don't
01:09:52I don't think I'm going to do it
01:09:57I don't think I'm going to do it
01:10:02I don't think I'm going to do it

01:14:04oh you're not gia
01:14:05oh
01:14:51Come and grab a seat.
01:14:53Yes, Joel.
01:14:55It's all you, Joel.
01:15:03Did you speak to her?
01:15:06Juliet did what Juliet does.
01:15:08She stormed out.
01:15:10She's gone.
01:15:14And that's such an extreme decision.
01:15:20Leave the experiment.
01:15:22So that's very revealing.
01:15:25What did she have to say?
01:15:29She called me a dog and a pig.
01:15:33No.
01:15:35I'm really sorry you had to listen to her call you names after you were so clearly enthused
01:15:44with what seemed to be progress and better direction.
01:15:49I thought I would give her a chance, right?
01:15:55I think you've been incredibly generous to her given how she's behaved, not only towards
01:16:01you but towards others in the experiment.
01:16:04Joel, you are no doubt a flamboyant and charismatic character.
01:16:09And some people might say you're an acquired taste.
01:16:12But what you've done throughout this experiment, you've been yourself.
01:16:18You've never wavered on that.
01:16:19And particularly what I admire about you is that you have owned everything that you've done.
01:16:27Regardless, you've never deflected it.
01:16:29You've just taken it on and said, this is me.
01:16:31I'm proud of who I am.
01:16:33You've been consistent throughout.
01:16:36You have maintained incredible integrity.
01:16:39You're to be commended.
01:16:40Thank you very much.
01:16:41I appreciate that.
01:16:43We've been sitting here watching you week after week thinking, this man is carrying so much.
01:16:51I think it would have been really hard.
01:16:53It's been an absolute pleasure having you in the experiment.
01:16:58We really wish you all the very best for the future.
01:17:02Thank you, Joel.
01:17:08Join the group.
01:17:19Where is she?
01:17:21Where's Jia?
01:17:24Yeah.
01:17:25Couple of dogs, you.
01:17:29Where is she?
01:17:31She's gone.
01:17:33No, she's not.
01:17:35What do you mean?
01:17:36She grabbed her stuff before and she asked for an Uber.
01:17:41You're right.
01:17:43Hmm.
01:17:50I just had a great couch session.
01:17:53Like, we have so much going for one another.
01:17:59But sometimes other girls and their bullshit can interfere.
01:18:04I'm just a bit jittery.
01:18:05I don't know.
01:18:06I don't know.
01:18:10You can't leave like that.
01:18:12Like, we're falling for each other.
01:18:16I'm not going to sit here without her, so...
01:18:18Yeah.
01:18:19I want to go get my wife.
01:18:44Tomorrow night.
01:18:47All will be revealed.
01:18:50It's all here.
01:18:51What I just read was disgusting.
01:18:55What happens when Bette comes face to face with David after those text messages?
01:19:01The comments were wild, disgusting, like, mean and vicious.
01:19:04But how do you know what they were?
01:19:06We've seen them.
01:19:08YouTube.
01:19:16You're not.
01:19:16They're not sure.
01:19:17You're not.
01:19:18You're not.
01:19:19Right?
