00:00:00Previously, after seven intense weeks in the experiment, the next phase of the
00:00:13experiment began. Feedback week saw our couples receive fresh perspectives on
00:00:21their marriages from their peers. Did you see the commitment ceremony when he was
00:00:25like, Sam will come to Sydney and then we'll do this. We had not spoken about that plan.
00:00:31Sam was able to express his concerns about Chris making future plans for the pair
00:00:36without consultation. I just feel like I didn't get a say or a voice at all.
00:00:40Alyssa warned David not to discuss those messages. The comments were vile,
00:00:46disgusting. But how do you know what they were? We've seen them. And...
00:00:52Gia. She done a runner. I'm gonna rename her Usain Bolt.
00:00:56Danny was stood up. I'm not doing it.
00:00:59When Gia refused to participate in the partner swap.
00:01:02This experiment is for sh...
00:01:04I think Gia, you're not giving her any drama. She's seeking that drama to fulfill her internal need.
00:01:09And after receiving direct feedback from Stella...
00:01:12The advice I got was quite reasonable, I feel. I just need to deliver it the right way for her
00:01:16to not feel offended.
00:01:17Fingers crossed it goes the right way.
00:01:19I just don't really care for her feedback.
00:01:21Scott was hesitant to share his findings with Gia.
00:01:27Um...
00:01:27If I knew if I went too deep, I'd be over the balcony.
00:01:34Tonight...
00:01:35Oh, my God!
00:01:37It's Alyssa and Stephen's turn to get some fresh feedback.
00:01:41Maybe this is your opportunity to jump right, Joe.
00:01:44Take the lead, Stephen.
00:01:45Alright, that's it.
00:01:47But not all our participants will see this week as constructive criticism.
00:01:51You just, like, made a decision on how this is going.
00:01:53Well, no, actually, no.
00:01:55That's not true.
00:01:56As a tense standoff ensues for one of our strongest couples...
00:02:00Even now, I feel like you're getting defensive.
00:02:02I'm not getting defensive. I'm having a conversation.
00:02:04I am sad. I'm disappointed.
00:02:07Do you see me as the mother-father of your children?
00:02:10Yes, I do see you as the father of my children.
00:02:13And as Feedback Week continues...
00:02:16No, thanks.
00:02:19Bye.
00:02:20..what's in the anonymous letter...
00:02:23If we just get through this...
00:02:24Oh, I want to get out of here, Bill.
00:02:25..that pushes Gia to breaking point.
00:02:28Gia wants to leave.
00:02:37It's Feedback Week, and across the city our couples are partaking...
00:02:42..in an anonymous one-on-one partner swap task...
00:02:45..set by the experts.
00:02:46The partner swap allows couples to gain an outside perspective...
00:02:51..on their relationships.
00:02:53But it was nice to just talk freely.
00:02:54Week after week, our couples get critical feedback from us as experts.
00:02:59But this week is all about feedback from those within the bubble...
00:03:02..of the experiment, their peers.
00:03:06And despite a devastating 24 hours...
00:03:09..Alyssa is putting on a brave face...
00:03:12..and is ready to participate in this task.
00:03:15Obviously, David and I, we've come off the back...
00:03:17..of, like, some pretty heavy times.
00:03:22Tonight, Juliet felt passionate enough to send me the receipts...
00:03:27..about the language that was used behind my back.
00:03:31What I just read was...
00:03:34..disgusting.
00:03:36But today, I just want to focus on the task.
00:03:39You know, I'm here for David and our relationship, so, yeah.
00:03:42I'm really excited and I'm always open to feedback.
00:03:44..and I'm not sure who I'm going to be partnered with today...
00:03:47..but I feel like it's really hard to take feedback...
00:03:50..from people that have burnt you.
00:03:52So, hopefully, it's not, Bec.
00:03:54Do I look or do I not look?
00:04:03MUSIC PLAYS
00:04:05Oh, hello there!
00:04:07Oh, my God!
00:04:09Hello!
00:04:10Hi!
00:04:11Oh, I walk in and I see Alyssa.
00:04:14But I was wondering who I was going to meet.
00:04:15I'm like, who is it going to be?
00:04:17I actually feel really good.
00:04:18If I want advice and feedback,
00:04:19it's probably the best that it comes from Rachel's best friend...
00:04:22..because they talk like crazy.
00:04:25Alyssa knows everything.
00:04:26Probably if I fart in my sleep or something, who knows?
00:04:29I've been wanting to talk to you.
00:04:30Oh, fantastic!
00:04:33How's your attraction?
00:04:35Are you getting...
00:04:35..is that attraction-building with Rachel?
00:04:38I can definitely say yes.
00:04:39What is holding you back?
00:04:41LAUGHTER
00:04:42Um, nothing's really holding me back.
00:04:44Um, intimacy-wise, it's taken a while to get there.
00:04:47You've made such progress,
00:04:49and I feel like maybe this is your opportunity to jump Rachel.
00:04:54LAUGHTER
00:04:55You just need to build up that confidence more
00:04:58and take the lead, Steve-o!
00:05:01All right, that's it.
00:05:02How are you and Dave going?
00:05:04I feel like David and I are in such a good place right now
00:05:08in our relationship,
00:05:08and I feel like we're on the same page in a lot of areas.
00:05:12Um, the thing I wanted to ask is,
00:05:15what do you see from the outside?
00:05:17Um...
00:05:17I can definitely tell you this.
00:05:19I've seen Dave at those dinner, um, parties,
00:05:22and when you're not around,
00:05:25he...
00:05:25..he's got your back.
00:05:28He's got me?
00:05:29Uh, he's got your back.
00:05:31It's amazing.
00:05:31He has your best interests at heart,
00:05:33and he's... Yeah, it's just amazing.
00:05:35Um, he's so calm and collected,
00:05:37and he respects you so much,
00:05:39and there's such a... and there's a connection.
00:05:40I've seen you two at the retreat,
00:05:42the connection you two had.
00:05:44It's super sweet.
00:05:46You are a match. Yeah.
00:05:46There's no doubt about it.
00:05:47All I can say is, keep going.
00:05:50Thank you, Stephen.
00:05:51You're a match.
00:05:53Look, Steve-O, I feel like he really took on board
00:05:56the feedback that I had for him,
00:05:57and I'm so happy about the feedback that Stephen gave me.
00:06:00It was really reassuring to hear that we are a strong couple.
00:06:04Cheers.
00:06:04Cheers to that.
00:06:05Cheers to us and our relationship.
00:06:08Cheers. 100%.
00:06:08And hurry up and jump, Rach.
00:06:10Ah!
00:06:12The first phase of Feedback Week has come to a close.
00:06:16And while Alyssa is feeling reassured
00:06:19in her relationship with David,
00:06:22back at the apartments,
00:06:25David is feeling nervous about his catch-up with Bec.
00:06:31I am nervous sitting here waiting for Alyssa to walk in
00:06:34because I don't know how she's going to take the fact that
00:06:38I had to talk to Bec about text messages that Bec sent,
00:06:42and I did not want to talk about it,
00:06:44but Bec obviously brought it up,
00:06:45so I couldn't shy away from it, you know?
00:06:48Do you know what?
00:06:48I wanted to talk to you and Alyssa,
00:06:50but obviously I couldn't, about those messages.
00:06:52I wasn't rude about you.
00:06:54I wasn't rude about Alyssa.
00:06:55I was just talking about your relationship.
00:06:58I don't want to take away from Alyssa's part.
00:07:00I'm sure she will talk to you in a long time,
00:07:02but I felt like the comments were vile, disgusting.
00:07:05But how do you...
00:07:06And very, like, mean and vicious.
00:07:08But how do you know what they were?
00:07:11Did Juliet send them to Alyssa?
00:07:14She did.
00:07:15It's hard to look past that.
00:07:19Hello, Mark.
00:07:20What it do?
00:07:21Hello.
00:07:23Hi.
00:07:23How are you?
00:07:24Good, how are you?
00:07:25I'm good.
00:07:26How was your day?
00:07:27Good.
00:07:28How was you?
00:07:29Yeah, I was good.
00:07:30It was good.
00:07:33Who did you catch up with today?
00:07:35Who did I catch up with today?
00:07:41Oh, I caught up with Bec.
00:07:44Where do I begin?
00:07:46I sat there and I was thinking...
00:07:48How did you hold your breath?
00:07:50Because we spoke about it before you left.
00:07:52I was like, do not mention the messages.
00:07:55Well, I went in thinking...
00:07:57Did you mention them?
00:07:58She brought it up.
00:08:00Babe, no!
00:08:00She brought it up.
00:08:02Yeah.
00:08:03The one thing I said to David today before he left was, please do not bring up the text messages.
00:08:15And it was brought up and it upset me because I'm like, I'm really disappointed because that is something I
00:08:20wanted to address.
00:08:23Because she was like, she was apologizing and then she tried to say, you should have seen the other side
00:08:28of Gia and she's like, it's all Gia's fault.
00:08:31Gia has a problem with me, but she keeps on making it out like it's me, but Gia sent them
00:08:37to Juliet to try and throw me under the bus, but hurt you.
00:08:40At the center of everything is Gia.
00:08:43I don't know what to believe anymore, but I don't care how many sorries I get.
00:08:47Oh yeah, I'm with you 100%.
00:08:49How many sorries it needs to be addressed?
00:08:52She knows that you're kind, she's leaning into you and she is manipulating you.
00:08:57But I don't...
00:08:58I don't believe it.
00:08:58No, but all I did was I said, look, you and my wife can sort it out, is essentially what
00:09:03I said.
00:09:03I said, Alyssa, I'm not going to take away from Alyssa, but I said I wasn't cool with you.
00:09:08But babe, I asked you, like, not to.
00:09:10How do you think I felt sitting there and the first thing that comes out of her mouth is the
00:09:14situation?
00:09:15What did you want me to do?
00:09:16You should have said, I'm not, this is not for me to step in, like, I don't agree with...
00:09:21Well, like, that's what I said, I said you will...
00:09:24No, but don't you went there.
00:09:24I asked you one thing.
00:09:26I feel like David should have just shut it down completely.
00:09:30Bec just wants a leg to stand on because as soon as Gia obviously brought it up on the couch,
00:09:34she was shitting herself.
00:09:36You should be careful with how much you are upset about me saying that
00:09:41when I have screenshots of what you've said about Alyssa and David.
00:09:47It was vile.
00:09:54She wanted to make sure she addressed it with David to try and back herself somewhat.
00:09:59But, yeah, I'm pretty upset because, like, that is something that I wanted to address girl to girl.
00:10:04I understand you're upset and I heard you loud and clear before I left today, but it's not something
00:10:10that I'm gonna, that I wanted to address. It's something that you can address with her.
00:10:15At the end of the day, I am very protective of Alyssa. And even though I didn't want to talk
00:10:20about
00:10:20the situation at all, when Bec brought it up, I felt like I had no choice.
00:10:25Because it was, I, the last person I wanted to see was that, was her.
00:10:29I know that you're pissed, just as pissed as me.
00:10:32Yeah, 100%.
00:11:02I know that you are.
00:11:22I don't know what to believe anymore.
00:11:34And down the hall, Bec is awaiting Danny's return from his partner swap task.
00:11:42Hello, babe. Hello, darling. How are you? Good. How was your day?
00:11:49My day was amazing. Who did you see? How was yours?
00:11:53Good. Who did you see?
00:11:56The, the better question would be, who did I not see?
00:12:01What? I was meant to see Gia, but she stood me up.
00:12:06First time I've ever been stood up in my life, and it's by Gia.
00:12:09So funny. The streak is over.
00:12:14Well, that's hilarious. So did you speak to anyone?
00:12:15No, no one. I just had, had a couple of beers in Bondi, chilled out,
00:12:20walk on the beach, done my thing, come back here.
00:12:24So I started tracking birds when I was 14. I'm now 34, 20 years,
00:12:28I've never been stood up once. So it had to happen, had to happen eventually.
00:12:32Out of interest, why do you reckon she didn't show up?
00:12:36Honestly, I think she probably thought it could be you.
00:12:39And if you've lied about someone, and then you have to sit there face to face with them,
00:12:43where you can't run away. It's confronting, isn't it?
00:12:45It's confronting. When you've lied about someone,
00:12:48right? And you've lied about someone, and you've gone at them.
00:12:51Only the other night at the commitment ceremony, she told me to shut the up.
00:12:56She probably thought there's a slim chance I could get Daniel, and I can't, I can't do that.
00:13:02Even if it was a 10% chance, she couldn't risk it.
00:13:05I also truly believe that she's not interested in showing any flaws in her relationship.
00:13:13She's not keen on that. And I think that would be why she's probably refused to do it.
00:13:21Do you know what I think is funny though? She hasn't disrespected me, because she doesn't owe me
00:13:27nothing, but she's actually disrespected Scott. Because this task, she could have brought them
00:13:33closer together, if she got some genuine feedback. But because she didn't show up,
00:13:37she's got no feedback. Who'd you have, by the way? David, yeah. How'd you go?
00:13:43When Juliet left the commitment ceremony, she sent Alyssa and David all of the text messages.
00:13:50David read the messages? David and Alyssa, yep. Oh God. Yeah. And so...
00:13:54What did they say, obviously, because I don't even know what they said.
00:13:56Babe, I don't remember what they said.
00:14:12I did apologise to him for the messages. I'm just apologising over and over and over and over and over.
00:14:20And I get it, I've done the wrong thing. But I just feel like it's just something, it's just never
00:14:27ending.
00:14:29Honestly, like, how much more apologising can I do? Like, and I will, because I have to,
00:14:37and I'm in the wrong for writing them, but like, I'm just, I'm on empty.
00:14:45Things that happened two months ago, Gia keeps bringing up to the forefront of
00:14:52issues, and Alyssa and David... Juliet brought them up,
00:14:55like, by sending the messages. But Gia sent them to Juliet.
00:14:58And they were sent two months ago. I'm actually just so tired, babe.
00:15:03You say you're tired of it. Imagine how David feels.
00:15:06Yeah, I know.
00:15:07He'd be so sick of it.
00:15:08Yeah, of course.
00:15:09And I know, like, you're saying that Gia sent the messages to Juliet, but the reality is, if you
00:15:17didn't send them messages in the first place, she wouldn't have no screenshots to send.
00:15:22I don't care what someone had done to me or how I was feeling. I don't send abusive messages.
00:15:28Like, that's just me. You can't condone it. She's, like, trying to say,
00:15:32ah, Gia sent them to Juliet. But I'm like, but you sent them in the first place. Without you sending
00:15:37them, there is no screenshots. So that doesn't really fall with me. It all does go back to Beck.
00:15:43So, yet again, our relationship is just, like, almost smurred with all this other stuff.
00:15:50Like, what about that conversation was about us?
00:15:54She's worried about the screenshots that are going to be brought up at the next dinner party. But it's,
00:15:59like, they probably will be. So if people want to say a few things to her and to call her
00:16:05out of
00:16:05order and stuff like that, then she has to just take that on the chin, to be honest.
00:16:08So you've just got to run up and apologise in front of the group again, and then move on from
00:16:13it.
00:16:14Yeah. And just don't do no dumb shit like that in future.
00:16:44I just regret sending messages two months ago.
00:16:50I just regret it so much.
00:16:56I just feel like, for the past couple of weeks,
00:17:00retreat and Gia's just non-stop for months, and I've told Daniel I love him,
00:17:08and then this week has been intense, because it's intensified it.
00:17:12And there's pressure, and I never wanted that.
00:17:16I'm just really scared of getting hurt.
00:17:20I can't make someone fall in love with me.
00:17:25I just feel like a fool.
00:17:27I just feel silly.
00:17:31That's how I feel.
00:17:43With the partner swap phase finished, Chris is waiting for Sam to return.
00:17:51Sam was left feeling pressured after Chris revealed at the commitment ceremony that he had a firm plan for
00:17:58the pair outside of the experiment.
00:18:01I think what it would probably look like is, just like, say we go, well, everything ticks the boxes,
00:18:05we'd have a place in Sydney. So he'd go to Sydney, I would stay primarily at the farm,
00:18:10and then maybe we can float back and forth for a bit from Sydney to the farm.
00:18:14Oh, someone's been thinking about this quite a bit of detail.
00:18:17I think that's what it would look like if we are successful, and I want us to be successful,
00:18:21but he has a lot of stuff to do in the city, whereas I'm cool to be at the farm
00:18:24full-time.
00:18:26But after a constructive chat with Philip about the need to discuss this issue with Chris...
00:18:31Like, I just feel like I didn't get a say or a voice at all.
00:18:34If we'd come to that decision together, it would have landed a lot better.
00:18:39Right now, you don't feel like you're writing your story.
00:18:41You really need to verbalise what your plans are, because this is our partnership, you know?
00:18:47Sam is returning to the apartments feeling encouraged.
00:18:51Coming off the back of talking to Phil, I feel like I can take a step forward
00:18:54in finding a resolution from Chris.
00:18:57I really hope that we work through it together and that he can open up a little bit
00:19:03to my point of view of things.
00:19:06Yeah, it was good chatting with Phil, but one thing that did come up with him is that,
00:19:11like, when we sat on the Commitments ceremony couch, and the experts were like,
00:19:17what's the plan for us?
00:19:20And you sort of said, like, oh, this is how it works, and we moved to Sydney,
00:19:23and we can go here, and we can go here.
00:19:25Like, that's the first time I heard that plan.
00:19:28Yeah.
00:19:28And it was kind of like, you've just, like, made a decision on how this is going.
00:19:31No, actually, no.
00:19:33That's not true.
00:19:35I said, if we were to work, and if we survive outside of this experiment,
00:19:39I said the most ideal plan would look like us getting a place in Sydney and then living at the
00:19:44farm.
00:19:45Just being like, that's not how it happened.
00:19:46Like, that's how it happened for me.
00:19:48Yeah.
00:19:49So, like, disregarding that.
00:19:51Like, I sat there and, like, this is what I heard you saying,
00:19:52and it felt like you were saying this is the only way.
00:19:59Um...
00:20:00I'm just, I'm shocked.
00:20:02Like, he's instantly defensive when I tried to bring up something that didn't feel nice for me.
00:20:08It just, like, I don't know, it just, I'm not used to being spoken to that sharply, I guess.
00:20:15Yeah, that's just a conversation I would have rather had the two of us
00:20:20before, like, any sort of plan was, like, suggested.
00:20:22No, it wasn't a plan, it was a suggestion.
00:20:25It was, um...
00:20:26Well, a plan is a suggestion, right?
00:20:28Well, it would be, like, this is the most ideal scenario.
00:20:31Can you empathise at all?
00:20:32That might have felt, like, a bit like...
00:20:34No, but they asked a question.
00:20:35They said, you know, are you looking at the future?
00:20:36And I answered it.
00:20:43Already, I don't feel like I have much leeway or, like, input into how this can work,
00:20:50because it's kind of like, if it is going to work with us, it's got to work your way.
00:20:55Because you have heaps on, but it doesn't mean that, like, I don't...
00:20:59Like, it would be nice for you to maybe, like, mention sometimes
00:21:05that it is a big weight on my shoulders.
00:21:12I think it's ridiculous. I'm 38. I've got a kid coming.
00:21:15I don't need to argue about coming up with an idea for us after the experiment.
00:21:19When I got asked a question and I answered it,
00:21:21I just feel like it's a bit ridiculous, to be honest. Yeah.
00:21:27If someone said that and I was in Sam's position,
00:21:30to me, I'd be like, oh, my God, that's so cute.
00:21:33They're coming up. He's thinking outside the experiment.
00:21:36I wouldn't have taken it the way that he's taken it.
00:21:39Also, he said, like, you're not showing me a lot of empathy.
00:21:42I get called an empath all the time.
00:21:44Well, I said that you'll be giving up a lot.
00:21:46That's a big change for you as well, but it wasn't, like, a set plan.
00:21:50Like, you could have just, um, chimed in.
00:21:53Yeah. I mean, yeah.
00:21:56I feel like you're getting really, like, defensive with me now.
00:21:58I'm not getting defensive at all.
00:21:59Or even, like, a little sorry it felt like that way.
00:22:01I'm sorry that it felt that way.
00:22:02Okay, cool.
00:22:03Yeah, I'm sorry that it felt that way, but it was just...
00:22:05Lead with that.
00:22:06Yeah.
00:22:08Um, I can't even remember what language I use,
00:22:10but, yeah, it's not a big deal.
00:22:12Yeah.
00:22:14Yeah.
00:22:15Yeah.
00:22:18I don't know how I feel.
00:22:21When someone tells me that something I did hurt them,
00:22:26I'll always lead with apology.
00:22:29But instead, he was like, nah, that's not what I said,
00:22:31and cut me off when he did that,
00:22:33and then proceeded to tell me what he said.
00:22:37Um...
00:22:38I was just looking for, just to be heard.
00:22:49Um...
00:22:56It's a brand-new day.
00:22:59How'd you sleep?
00:23:01Great.
00:23:02And whilst Feedback Week is bringing some of our couples closer...
00:23:06There we go. You did great, sweetie.
00:23:12Following their first fight last night,
00:23:15Chris is feeling offended with the comments Sam made
00:23:18about him not being empathetic.
00:23:26I'm feeling like, uh, it's...
00:23:28It's awkward because there's, like, a bit of tension between us.
00:23:32It's not been like this.
00:23:33Yesterday, he said that I have no empathy.
00:23:36That is so hurtful.
00:23:38So, this morning, I've got a clear head, I've slept on it.
00:23:42Um, I want to just try and clear it up and move forward.
00:23:46How are you feeling after yesterday?
00:23:48Yeah, good.
00:23:49Yeah, cool.
00:23:50Yeah, I said everything I wanted to say.
00:23:52Mm-hm.
00:23:53Um, yeah.
00:23:54Yeah, I just feel like, um...
00:23:56I'd just like to revisit it quickly,
00:23:58just so that I can, like, move forward.
00:24:00Yeah.
00:24:00So, as hard as it was for you is equally as hard for me.
00:24:04And I think you said, like,
00:24:05I wasn't showing any empathy or whatever,
00:24:07so that's kind of hurt me a little bit,
00:24:09because, um, you know, everyone knows me as an empath.
00:24:12Like, I am quite empathetic to people,
00:24:14and I didn't realise that you felt like
00:24:16I was not showing any empathy.
00:24:18Like, I felt like I needed more empathy around that situation.
00:24:21Mm-hm.
00:24:22So, you need more empathy about the moving situation?
00:24:24Yeah, I just feel like you're maybe, like,
00:24:26sweeping under the rug a little bit how big a deal it was.
00:24:29That's what it felt like.
00:24:30Okay.
00:24:31Yeah.
00:24:31Yeah.
00:24:32When Mel asked me that question,
00:24:33it was just a throwaway thought that I had while I was on a run.
00:24:36I do feel like, um, yeah, maybe that comment was maybe misconstrued or whatever.
00:24:42I'm happy to, like, just, like, move forward from it.
00:24:46Even now, I feel like you're getting defensive.
00:24:47I'm not getting defensive. I'm having a conversation.
00:24:49Okay.
00:24:49I'm just sitting here listening to you.
00:24:51I think the saying that he didn't give me empathy comment hurt him,
00:24:54I guess, because he sees himself as quite an empath.
00:24:56But I think asking for more empathy shouldn't really be met with defensiveness.
00:25:02He's still defensive, but, again, he didn't like me saying that today.
00:25:06Yeah.
00:25:06I'm super sensitive to, like, to sharp talking, I guess.
00:25:10I'm not used to it at all.
00:25:11Mm-hmm.
00:25:11It's not how I, like, ever communicate.
00:25:13Yeah.
00:25:14So maybe just, like, if, yeah, you could be a little bit wary of that.
00:25:19Sure. I'll take that on board.
00:25:21Um, I am sad.
00:25:24I'm disappointed.
00:25:26This has all stemmed from the comment that I made on the couch.
00:25:30Sam's upset that I didn't consult him prior to thinking about this.
00:25:33Um, I thought it was cute.
00:25:34I thought it was admirable that I had thought ahead of the experiment.
00:25:38He obviously feels different.
00:25:39He also feels that I was too defensive.
00:25:44I disagree.
00:25:45I think I just tried to communicate with him this morning.
00:25:48It doesn't seem to be going anywhere.
00:25:50Yeah.
00:25:51So, yeah, unfortunately, it's a bit orcs.
00:25:57As Feedback Week continues...
00:25:59Oh, I hate these boxes.
00:26:01...Bec and Danny receive a familiar task.
00:26:04The honesty box.
00:26:05What is one dream or goal of yours that you wouldn't be willing to give up for me?
00:26:13But will it derail their relationship again?
00:26:16It's not just all fun and games.
00:26:18It's just not.
00:26:19I don't know why I'm laughing.
00:26:21I'm sorry.
00:26:22I'm sorry.
00:26:25Don't touch me.
00:26:26I'm joking.
00:26:26I'm joking.
00:26:27You're pissing me off.
00:26:29You're absolutely pissing me off.
00:26:48As Feedback Week continues, the experts have prepared another task for our couples.
00:26:57That's the gift that keeps on doing.
00:27:00Yo.
00:27:04As the experiment enters its final weeks, it's time for the couples to think about taking their
00:27:09relationships outside the experiment and consider any hurdles they may face.
00:27:17Oh, I know that box.
00:27:19I remember it well.
00:27:21I've seen that before.
00:27:22One of the tools we use to assist this process is the honesty box, which will ask our couples to
00:27:29face
00:27:29these hard issues.
00:27:31As you all know, life outside the experiment may come with some pretty hefty hurdles.
00:27:36We hope that you can tackle these hard topics head on together.
00:27:40Not only answering the questions honestly, but providing feedback, framework and insight.
00:27:47For our couples, these questions will test whether they are able to align on their futures.
00:27:54Stella and Philip jump straight into the challenge.
00:27:57Shall we?
00:27:58Yeah.
00:27:59Do you see me as the mother-father of your children?
00:28:01Yes, I do see you as a father of my children.
00:28:03You have great genes, stud.
00:28:06We both align on so many things.
00:28:09Yes, it would be definitely awesome on that front.
00:28:13And you'd be a really good milf.
00:28:22If we had to do long distance for a while, how much contact do you expect?
00:28:27Once every fortnight, at least for three months.
00:28:32And then we move to Sydney.
00:28:34I like that.
00:28:36For Rachel and Stephen, this task offers an opportunity to open up.
00:28:41Can you see yourself falling in love with me?
00:28:45Can I see myself falling in love with you?
00:28:48The way things are going, yes, I can.
00:28:51You're accepting me for my flaws.
00:28:54You're leaning into my hobbies.
00:28:56You're just an amazing woman.
00:28:58Ah, it makes me feel really good.
00:29:00It really does.
00:29:01And it makes me really excited for the future.
00:29:04I'm going to swipe this box.
00:29:06It's good.
00:29:07Keep all sorts of things in here.
00:29:09Keep all our trinkets.
00:29:10Keep some lures in there.
00:29:17For Bec and Danny,
00:29:20the honesty box is bringing back some memories.
00:29:25So, was it like another, like, like the box?
00:29:27Honesty box.
00:29:28Like the box on the honeymoon?
00:29:30Yeah.
00:29:30That one went well, didn't it?
00:29:32Do you feel any sexual chemistry with me?
00:29:38Not too much, to be honest with you.
00:29:40No.
00:29:50What?
00:29:51That f***ing box.
00:29:53Oh, every time I've done one of these, it's gone bad.
00:29:56Do you know what I'd rather have done?
00:29:57I'd rather have someone go whack, kick me straight in the bollocks.
00:30:00I would.
00:30:02It's so hard for me to sit there and answer questions and talk about my feelings.
00:30:08I'm not the type of guy to be like, oh, I feel like this.
00:30:12Like, who's like that?
00:30:13I want to know, because I'm not.
00:30:15You ready?
00:30:18I'm excited for this task, because we haven't talked about how nice it, that I, you know,
00:30:25realised that I was in love with him on a commitment ceremony couch in front of the experts
00:30:28and all of our friends.
00:30:30I love you.
00:30:40Jesus.
00:30:46I don't even know what to say to that.
00:30:50I know that he's not at that, that place yet.
00:30:53And when it comes to these sorts of tasks, like, I know it gets uncomfortable, because
00:30:58he's a man and, you know, talking about his feelings and stuff is hard, but I'm hoping
00:31:02we can be super vulnerable and honest, because there's a whole life outside of this that we
00:31:08need to be thinking about.
00:31:10What is one dream or goal of yours that you wouldn't be willing to give up for me?
00:31:17Um.
00:31:24I'll be honest.
00:31:27One would, one would hope you've always been honest.
00:31:30Me and the boys, right, we had a little trip to Rio planned.
00:31:34Yeah.
00:31:35There's a boys trip.
00:31:37And?
00:31:38I'm going on that.
00:31:41Daniel.
00:31:44I'm joking.
00:31:48What's the question?
00:31:49One goal.
00:31:53One goal of yours that you wouldn't, that you wouldn't be willing to give up for me?
00:32:00Oh, kids.
00:32:02Yeah?
00:32:03Yeah, I want to be a father.
00:32:05Do you know what you mean?
00:32:05Mm-hmm.
00:32:06Maybe because I've just been called daddy for years.
00:32:13I'm joking.
00:32:15But yeah, do you know what you mean?
00:32:19I just expected him to take it a little bit more seriously.
00:32:23I mean, look, like, I love him the way he is.
00:32:27He's a jokester.
00:32:28Like, every day is hilarious and fun.
00:32:31Don't touch me.
00:32:32I'm joking, I'm joking.
00:32:33But there's a time and a place for joking around.
00:32:36You're pissing me off.
00:32:38You're absolutely pissing me off.
00:32:41Why?
00:32:42This isn't just a task that the experts have given us, and it's a he-he-ha-ha.
00:32:48And by him acting like that, it makes me feel like he's not serious about this relationship.
00:32:56It's not just all fun and games.
00:32:58It's just not.
00:33:01Just sometimes it's like there's a place for humans.
00:33:03Sometimes you want me to drop the jokes.
00:33:06Yeah, I want you to, to, like...
00:33:09Like, today, I feel like...
00:33:11I don't know why I'm laughing.
00:33:13I'm sorry.
00:33:14I'm sorry.
00:33:15Because I'm trying not to.
00:33:17She weren't finding me funny.
00:33:20Oh, she didn't find it funny, did she?
00:33:24I try and crack some jokes to, like, make light of it, and just have some fun with it,
00:33:29because I find them a bit awkward, and I don't know.
00:33:32A lot of these questions I've never thought about, so I'm thinking on my feet,
00:33:35and then I start to give her an answer, and, like, it's, like, the wrong answer.
00:33:42Back to Danny.
00:33:44Do you think you will fall in love with me, and why?
00:33:54Do I think I'll fall in love with you, and why?
00:33:59I want to be very careful how I answer this question.
00:34:10Um...
00:34:16Back to Danny.
00:34:18Do I think I'll fall in love with you, and why?
00:34:33I want to be very careful how I answer this question.
00:34:37Um...
00:34:40I'd assume I will, yeah.
00:34:43Am I there yet? No.
00:34:46Do I think it's gonna go there? Probably.
00:34:56Doesn't make you feel too good.
00:35:01OK.
00:35:02What do you mean? What's that face for?
00:35:05I knew that he wasn't at that stage, right?
00:35:08I knew that.
00:35:10But using the words of potential, I assume, maybe, it's like,
00:35:14no, I'm here, I'm in this, I want to make this work,
00:35:17and this is how we're gonna do it.
00:35:19Like, that's what I need.
00:35:21Not, ha-ha, jokey-jokey,
00:35:24I might love you, I might not, whatever.
00:35:27That's not, it's not gonna work for me.
00:35:31Good job, buddy.
00:35:34Why are you feeling like that?
00:35:37Oh, I hate these boxers.
00:35:39You know, who does he think he is?
00:35:41How dare you not think that you could fall in love with me?
00:35:43I'm the best thing that you'll ever get.
00:35:45The end.
00:35:47Like, anyway.
00:35:57The couples are about to be set a new task,
00:36:00which will allow the feedback they give to be taken to the next level.
00:36:06Do you want me to get it?
00:36:07Yeah.
00:36:08Ah, look what it is.
00:36:10I hope it's an apology from the experts for setting me up with Danny yesterday.
00:36:14It's time for the anonymous feedback letter.
00:36:19As the participants move through the experiment together, they have had a front row seat to each
00:36:25other's relationships. This year, we have devised a new task which will ask our couples to think
00:36:31long and hard outside of their own relationships.
00:36:34For this task, you will write an anonymous, honest and constructive letter to another couple in the
00:36:40experiment.
00:36:42Anonymous.
00:36:42Anonymous.
00:36:43Anonymous.
00:36:44I said anonymous.
00:36:46Is he saying it right?
00:36:47I know.
00:36:47This is your chance to tell them what you really think about their relationship,
00:36:51where you see the positives.
00:36:53But also where you believe they need to make changes if they want to succeed outside the experiment.
00:36:58By staying anonymous, they can be completely honest with any critical feedback.
00:37:02Include a clear suggestion they can work on together. This may be a ritual, a conversation,
00:37:08a task or something else you think they could benefit them.
00:37:13Alyssa and David are writing their anonymous feedback letter to Rachel and Stephen.
00:37:19Now we just get a brainstorm.
00:37:21This is the best possible outcome because David and I are very close to Rachel and Stephen,
00:37:26and Rachel's my best friend. And I've given Stephen some great feedback yesterday.
00:37:32And it's even better that I get to put it in writing with my husband.
00:37:36What are you hoping that Rachel and Stephen get out of this?
00:37:39Um, I'm just going to be straight shooting and say Steve-O needs to put on his captain's hat today
00:37:44and run the show.
00:37:47Be the boss for the day.
00:37:48Yeah.
00:37:48Rachel needs to allow Stephen to lead.
00:37:50Yeah, she just sits back and let him run the day, run the show.
00:37:54The goal of me and Alyssa's anonymous letter today to Rachel and Stephen is to hopefully get
00:37:59Stephen to take the lead so that they can get closer together, can get intimate.
00:38:04And then I feel like, oh my gosh, this is my brain now.
00:38:10What? Is there something, Rachel?
00:38:12I don't think Stephen's going to want to do this, but it's an idea.
00:38:15Davo and I have the surprise for Stephen. He's going to die.
00:38:19I'm so excited for Rachel. She's going to love this task today.
00:38:25This is the golden product.
00:38:27Because it's about time we cracked the whip on Stephen and I feel like the task we've
00:38:32given him today is a really good one. It's going to make Rachel feel special and he'll feel good
00:38:36about it. We've got to seal the deal, babe.
00:38:38Seal the deal, all right? We're going to fold it up. Oh, you're going to kiss it.
00:38:41Okay, ready?
00:38:42Are you going to headbutt it?
00:38:44We're going to headbutt it.
00:38:47Great.
00:38:48Wait.
00:38:49I've got to put some, oh my god, it looks so beautiful in you.
00:38:55Okay, wrap them together. Give them a kiss. Go on.
00:38:59I don't want my dog.
00:39:00Kiss it like you mean it.
00:39:02God damn it.
00:39:03Kiss it.
00:39:04Hey Stephen, you better take this seriously. I even had to put on lipstick for you.
00:39:11Like, what more do you want, bro? Get down and dirty with your wife.
00:39:28Oh, my.
00:39:36I don't know what this is.
00:39:39What do you know? There's a piece of paper with some red markings on and an interesting looking instrument.
00:39:46What do you mean an interesting looking instrument?
00:39:49Well, I've been around the block a few times and I believe I've seen these things before.
00:39:56This is not what I think it is, is it?
00:39:58It's an actual lipstick, babe.
00:40:00I thought this was a sex toy for a minute there.
00:40:04Why do they have to shape it like that for?
00:40:09Um, Rachel and Steve-o.
00:40:12It's Alyssa.
00:40:14You reckon it is?
00:40:15Yeah, it's Alyssa.
00:40:17She's the only one who calls me Rachel.
00:40:19She's so cute.
00:40:20Oh my gosh.
00:40:20I don't know you.
00:40:22Rachel and Steve-o.
00:40:24Hey guys, it's your secret admirers who have been watching and observing your relationship from the beginning.
00:40:31Your connection is undeniable and we can see you guys taking the experiment out into the real world.
00:40:39Rachel, it's your turn.
00:40:41It's time to be a passenger princess.
00:40:46It's time to let Steve-o put his captain hat on and lead for the day.
00:40:52Also, your task is to give Rachel 20 kisses.
00:40:57The red lipstick needs to be used, Steve-o, so Rachel can count her kisses.
00:41:06This is for you, babes.
00:41:09It was lipstick.
00:41:12For me, I kind of wish it was a vibrator now.
00:41:17At least it smells alright.
00:41:18We are not doing that right now.
00:41:19No, I'm not.
00:41:23That's for Rachel and Steve-o time.
00:41:25This is a really great opportunity for us to progress our intimacy.
00:41:29So I want it to be, I would like Steve and I to do this in a private setting because
00:41:34I want it to be taken seriously.
00:41:35I want this to be a really nice, romantic, intimate moment.
00:41:41That's just for us.
00:41:43Yeah.
00:41:44I actually think it's a really respectful task.
00:41:48I'm really happy for Stephen to take the lead and Alyssa knows that I want that from him.
00:41:53But she also knows her girl pretty well.
00:41:56Like, I will very easily fall into, like, taking the lead.
00:42:01Okay, let's do this.
00:42:01Let's do that.
00:42:02Like, you know, so I feel like both tasks are really good.
00:42:08It's all you, boo.
00:42:11It's all you.
00:42:14Ay-yi-yi.
00:42:19Still to come.
00:42:22Are you making me work away from you?
00:42:28I kind of went heavy on the cheese.
00:42:30Oh, well, that's not a bad thing.
00:42:32Only the best for my wife.
00:42:36And...
00:42:36Has the shine of your relationship...
00:42:40Here, let me read it.
00:42:41Dimmed.
00:42:41It's all right, yep.
00:42:43No, thanks.
00:42:47Bye.
00:42:48It all becomes too much for Gia.
00:42:50Let's just get through this.
00:42:51Oh, I want to get out of here, bro.
00:42:55Gia wants to leave.
00:43:07It's Gia and Scott's turn to write the anonymous letter to Alyssa and David.
00:43:12And after refusing to participate in the partner swap task, Gia's mood hasn't improved.
00:43:20We can start, um, getting our hands to work and start writing.
00:43:30Feedback week has been tough for us.
00:43:33So we had an argument this week and we were feeling a little bit off each other.
00:43:38Yesterday's task was an ideal.
00:43:39I didn't end up going on the task on the feedback meeting because I just didn't want to.
00:43:45So, so just want to get my letter done and I'm ready for this week to be over, to be
00:43:50honest.
00:43:51I'd say positives is how Dave's very understanding.
00:43:58Calm and collective is good to lean on.
00:43:59Like, so just say one positive at a time.
00:44:02Um, understanding.
00:44:04Um, Dave is understanding.
00:44:05Yeah, he's, um, not all about him.
00:44:08We're going to do one for her now.
00:44:10Oh, yeah.
00:44:11She brings the energy into their, into their relationship.
00:44:14So that's how they match into this even level, like.
00:44:17Okay, negatives.
00:44:20Um, can David long-term handle and sustain Alyssa's energy?
00:44:25And also, um, Alyssa needs to give her more reassurance.
00:44:29Yeah, well, I'll get to that.
00:44:32So the energy is a bit low.
00:44:34I think she's just really on the edge of just, yeah.
00:44:38I think any, all the tasks we've had this week, it's just, she doesn't want to do them.
00:44:44Is David the type that can always be up for Alyssa's challenges?
00:44:49Well, no, just no.
00:44:55There's one thing that...
00:44:56Yeah, hold on, hold on, hold on.
00:44:57All right, I'm just trying to help.
00:44:59I'm trying to think.
00:44:59Hold on, David.
00:45:02Um.
00:45:04Yeah, like, whatever I say doesn't matter.
00:45:08A suggestion they can work on or a task.
00:45:11What's a task then?
00:45:13Something different?
00:45:13I don't know, Scott.
00:45:14I have no idea.
00:45:14Like, I, I can't, I'm sorry.
00:45:24Feedback week really getting to you, babe.
00:45:26You've got all this tension built up in your traps.
00:45:32Oh, you're kidding.
00:45:33Is that you?
00:45:34I'll go, I'll go.
00:45:35All right.
00:45:35You chill?
00:45:36Okay.
00:45:37I'm so excited to get feedback.
00:45:39I always think that any feedback is good, even if it's from someone that, you know,
00:45:44you don't even really want to receive feedback from.
00:45:47So, I'm hoping there's some golden nuggets in there.
00:45:51David and Alyssa.
00:45:52Oh, wow.
00:45:53All right.
00:45:54Let's read it.
00:45:56Dear David and Alyssa, we think you two are a really strong couple.
00:46:00David, you are calm, collected and understanding.
00:46:03Alyssa, you bring so much energy and fun into the relationship.
00:46:08However, David has mentioned that in this relationship, he needs more reassurance.
00:46:13Alyssa, we think that's something that you could work on.
00:46:15David, we know you love Alyssa's energy, but do you think long term you can handle it?
00:46:21Our task, we are giving you that you both write an open and honest letter with one another,
00:46:26discussing the things written in this letter.
00:46:31I don't, that does not make sense.
00:46:33That makes no sense.
00:46:34Hang on.
00:46:37They honestly just want us to write a letter about a letter that they've just given us.
00:46:41They want us to write a letter about a letter.
00:46:45A letter about the letter with the things that are in this letter.
00:46:55It's all slanted and it's not straight.
00:47:00Okay.
00:47:00It's Gia and Scott.
00:47:01Gia and Scott for sure.
00:47:02David and I believe that Gia and Scott wrote our letter today.
00:47:05That is definitely Gia's handwriting and that is definitely Gia to the T.
00:47:11It was a lazy effort, they didn't even think outside the box.
00:47:13Yeah.
00:47:14I would like something fun or something to spice things up or, you know, make us connect.
00:47:20What we did for Rachel and Stephen was fun.
00:47:23That was fun.
00:47:23That was nice and well thought of.
00:47:28It's kind of killed my buzz.
00:47:30Yeah.
00:47:31The fact that Gia has been putting all this effort in recently to build back some trust
00:47:35and a friendship with me and the fact that she only put not much energy into that letter,
00:47:41that feedback letter, just goes to show that she's obviously not invested in this friendship
00:47:47or David and I's relationship and that goes for Scotty too.
00:47:54What do you want to do about that?
00:47:55Do you want to write a letter to each other or do you want to take a pass?
00:47:59I'll be honest and say we'll just take a pass.
00:48:01Me too.
00:48:02Yeah, there's no point.
00:48:04I feel like me and Alyssa not taking part in this letter's task and doing something ourselves
00:48:10will actually bring us closer together than this letter ever will.
00:48:14In fact, I mean, is Joel anywhere around?
00:48:17Because I think Teddy might give me and Alyssa way better feedback on our relationship.
00:48:21Put it in the bin.
00:48:23Yeah, Alyssa will be in the bin.
00:48:25Might as well...
00:48:26He just stole the paper.
00:48:30Sorry, we don't want to waste the trees.
00:48:34Oh, that was probably not my glamorous moment.
00:48:45And down the hall, armed with a strict task to take the lead,
00:48:50Stephen has taken it upon himself to plan a romantic date.
00:48:55How you going over there, babe?
00:48:56Good.
00:48:57And is pulling out all of the stops.
00:49:00All right.
00:49:03Don't you look at what I'm doing.
00:49:06Oh, look, I'm a little bit of a hopeless romantic and a little bit of a dope with this
00:49:11taking the lead thing.
00:49:14So, how are you feeling, passenger queen?
00:49:16Excited for one of my old ancient recipes.
00:49:21I'm intrigued.
00:49:30You know what, screw it.
00:49:32Are you making me work away from you?
00:49:34Only the best of my life.
00:49:39Damn it.
00:49:41You just sit tight at the end.
00:49:44Keep looking at the wall?
00:49:45Yeah, I'm almost ready.
00:49:48Pro tip from Steve-o.
00:49:51There's two ways to a woman's heart.
00:49:54Either it's chocolate or cheese.
00:49:57I may well...
00:50:00You know what, the thought is there.
00:50:02What did you make?
00:50:04I kind of went heavy on the cheese.
00:50:05Oh, well, that's not a bad piece.
00:50:10Well, I thought, quick evening nachos.
00:50:14Cute.
00:50:16Yeah, the cheese kind of fell out.
00:50:18I love it.
00:50:22He made me some really bad nachos, and I'm really, really happy about it.
00:50:27I just think it's really sweet, you know?
00:50:30It's something so simple and so sweet.
00:50:32No one makes nachos like me, though, do they?
00:50:36No.
00:50:37And maybe they shouldn't.
00:50:49Don't judge the nachos just because they look sad.
00:50:52They were still delicious made with love.
00:50:55My love.
00:50:56I thought this could be like a little sample of what's to come.
00:50:59It's me trying to take the lead.
00:51:00I know I murdered the nachos, but I actually do want to take you out on a proper day and
00:51:05not just be in the apartment.
00:51:06I'm excited, you know, by you taking the lead.
00:51:11It means a lot to me when you do, so I'm very excited.
00:51:15Oh, good.
00:51:16It seems that this is only a taste, taking the lead.
00:51:19It's only a taste.
00:51:20It's only a dibble.
00:51:22Just the fact that he's organising a day and thinking about me, it just excites me.
00:51:26Because it reminds you that you are appreciated.
00:51:32Want a nacho kiss?
00:51:33Yeah, why not?
00:51:38Tasty.
00:51:40These things are a bit a serious topic in our relationship, but fun and playfulness is
00:51:46actually how we're going to get there.
00:51:47So, yeah, I'm really grateful to my secret admirer.
00:51:53Cheers, anyway.
00:51:55I know I'm a bit of a dork, but I like it.
00:52:08As Gia and Scott await their anonymous feedback letter, Gia's mood has only worsened.
00:52:15Can you please not do that right near me right now with the floss?
00:52:19It's going to send me into a rage.
00:52:25Um...
00:52:32The energy is...
00:52:38Like at the moment, yeah, it's a little bit tiring.
00:52:43But I care about her and I want this to work.
00:52:45Because I don't want to have any more conflict or strain our relationship.
00:52:49So I'm trying to help as much as possible to get through it.
00:52:52There's only so much I can do.
00:52:56Can you read it?
00:52:57Can I?
00:52:59Yeah.
00:52:59Do you want it?
00:53:00Well, it's long.
00:53:02Jesus.
00:53:04Give it to me.
00:53:05Give it to me.
00:53:19Can you read it?
00:53:26You can read it.
00:53:34You can read it.
00:53:34Dear Scott and Gia.
00:53:36It's been great to see how your marriage and connection has flourished in this experiment.
00:53:40From the outside looking in, we see that you have a great physical connection and physical intimacy.
00:53:45You're both committed and united.
00:53:48This is a great foundation for a long-lasting marriage.
00:53:53But Gia, do you take notice as to how much effort reassurance Scott gives you?
00:53:59Do you give the same reassurance to Scott?
00:54:02Another thing to consider has the shine of your relationship...
00:54:08Here, let me read it.
00:54:09Dimmed.
00:54:10It's all right, yep.
00:54:11It's all right, I'm just trying to read it.
00:54:12Another thing to consider has the shine of your relationship...
00:54:17Yeah, they've written it wrong.
00:54:18Has the shine of your relationship has been dimmed by external distractions?
00:54:23Our suggestion would be Gia, fully remove yourself from group chats, all the gossip and so-called
00:54:28drama and just 100% focus on your relationship.
00:54:30I have Bec, don't worry about that.
00:54:33This will totally block out any unwanted distractions, need for external validation,
00:54:37hopefully the need for drama.
00:54:40Focused on the emotional connection.
00:54:42We challenge both of you to withhold physical intimacy for 10 days.
00:54:47To hold physical intimacy?
00:54:49To not have sex for 10 days.
00:54:51No.
00:54:52No.
00:54:53I thought the letter was stupid.
00:54:54I didn't get anything good from that.
00:54:57It would have been better if they gave us actual advice that was based on facts.
00:55:01It was just stupid and pointless.
00:55:03And like, no physical touch for 10 days.
00:55:06If we're moving towards final ballots and I'm going to move into state for this man,
00:55:09I'm not going to not touch him for 10 days.
00:55:11I just think that's just stupid advice.
00:55:13And yeah, I'm not going to take it.
00:55:17We're not going to not be physical because that's healthy in a relationship.
00:55:21That's not good advice.
00:55:23And also, I'm not part of any group chats.
00:55:26I was only ever in a group chat with Bec and I don't think Bec would write that
00:55:29because she knows I'm not in it.
00:55:30So now I'm like, who was that?
00:55:32How do you think that the letter went down?
00:55:34I just think that she and Scott are just cackling to themselves.
00:55:39It's someone who doesn't know us well.
00:55:42It's someone who doesn't know us well.
00:55:43I have no idea who wrote it.
00:55:46I thought it was Bec initially because the way that it was written,
00:55:49it seemed a bit harsh and a bit like something that she might say to try and piss me off.
00:55:55But if it was Bec, she'd know I'm not in any group chats anymore.
00:55:58So yeah, I have no idea who it is.
00:56:01I mean, it could very well be her and she's trying to push my buttons.
00:56:04I have no idea, but I'm not going to sit here and conspire all day.
00:56:06No idea.
00:56:08I didn't get anything out of that.
00:56:11Well, it wasn't useful really.
00:56:12Did you take anything from it?
00:56:14Mine's just more covering what they've said a bit more in terms of
00:56:17the detox and removing ourselves from trouble.
00:56:20We've already spoken about that.
00:56:21So it's something that I find would help us the most.
00:56:24I just don't want to be involved in anyone's shit anymore.
00:56:26That's it.
00:56:27Because I find when everything else...
00:56:29Yeah, but we've said that.
00:56:29We've done that.
00:56:32Anyway, this letter can...
00:56:33I won't with the envelope because it's cute.
00:56:36No thanks.
00:56:39Bye.
00:56:43Don't care.
00:56:45Whoever it is, you don't know us.
00:56:48I think today Gia was not open to feedback whatsoever.
00:56:52She is not interested.
00:56:53She has no interest in what anyone has to say.
00:56:57For me, I like take everything with a grain of salt.
00:57:00And how the letter was describing, I could see it.
00:57:03But for me, I didn't say too much.
00:57:06Because I know if I'm going to say something, Gia's not going to respond well.
00:57:10So I feel backed off.
00:57:13I feel like I can't really talk much later to be honest.
00:57:14And yeah, that does suck.
00:57:15And I should be able to speak in my feelings and show all that.
00:57:18But I feel, yeah, I think this is a part of what's starting to affect the relationship.
00:57:23I feel like I'm starting to not be able to get my point out there.
00:57:26Because I know if I speak, she'll probably just start defending.
00:57:31She's a very passionate woman.
00:57:33She's fiery.
00:57:34And I know it can come out a bad way.
00:57:36And sometimes I think it shouldn't.
00:57:39So that's one thing I need to either adjust to or be able to have a conversation with her
00:57:43without her taking offense to it.
00:57:46But right now, I can't.
00:57:50Yeah.
00:57:52That's pretty much it.
00:57:54Well, it is it.
00:57:55The bloody letter's torn.
00:58:06After a disappointing honesty box challenge,
00:58:11Dani wants to apologize for upsetting Bec by creating a romantic surprise for her.
00:58:18Obviously, I've been dubbed the King of Romance before.
00:58:21They call me Romeo in a past life.
00:58:24So I've been reborn.
00:58:26I'm back in the 21st century, but not much has changed.
00:58:30So I'm still the King of Romance.
00:58:40All right.
00:58:45Hello, sweetheart.
00:58:47Hello, Pat.
00:58:47I got you these.
00:58:49Thanks, baby.
00:58:50That one's a bit wet because it's been in my mouth.
00:58:54So I'm going to lead you.
00:58:55I'm going to lead you the way.
00:58:57Turn around.
00:58:58Come this way.
00:59:00First stop.
00:59:01Don't look at the notes.
00:59:02Okay.
00:59:02First stop.
00:59:03What does this one on the table say?
00:59:06Enjoy a glass of red.
00:59:07No problem.
00:59:08You're so cute.
00:59:11She's obviously been upset because I didn't take the box task serious.
00:59:15But, like, I didn't really know how to react.
00:59:18Talking about my feelings is so, so hard for me.
00:59:21So there we go.
00:59:22Bye.
00:59:24Here's a glass.
00:59:25Thanks, baby.
00:59:27Maybe in hindsight, I could have worded things different or said things different, but I was trying to just be
00:59:31as truthful as I could.
00:59:33Also, I want to apologize for upsetting her because I don't ever want to upset her.
00:59:38So what I'd done for Bec was post-it notes around the place with compliments and things I like about
00:59:44her.
00:59:45Just so she knows how I feel about her, essentially.
00:59:49There we go.
00:59:50Bye, babe.
00:59:51I'm going to lead you around the room.
00:59:53I want you to read these out loud because I don't give you enough compliments, so I'll give you some
00:59:59notes.
01:00:00I love being married to you.
01:00:02You're an amazing wife.
01:00:03Thanks, babe.
01:00:06You looked amazing in the French maid's outfit.
01:00:10I heard someone ordered a French maid to clean this place up.
01:00:15I don't know if I ever told you, so I was like...
01:00:17You didn't.
01:00:18I should write it down.
01:00:19Thanks, baby.
01:00:20Sometimes I don't say it, but I'm thinking it, so that's what these notes are for.
01:00:24Oh, my God, I don't feel like I deserve this.
01:00:28Oh, yeah, that's a nice one to end it on as well.
01:00:31I've given a softer side to you than I've ever given anyone more for you.
01:00:35Have you?
01:00:36Yeah.
01:00:39Thanks.
01:00:41He was so cute.
01:00:43The notes just mean, like, everything.
01:00:47To hear he loves being married to me, and also I'm serious about us and our relationship.
01:00:54It's everything you want to hear.
01:00:57It's nice, isn't it?
01:01:00It's so cute.
01:01:03I just, like, hearing them and reading them is just, like, it makes me feel really good.
01:01:09Sometimes I need to hear this.
01:01:11Yeah, I know.
01:01:11That's why I've done it.
01:01:12Yeah.
01:01:14Sometimes when he jokes in the tasks and stuff, I'm like, it hurts.
01:01:20Because Danny doesn't articulate his feelings.
01:01:24So I've been questioning him.
01:01:26And if I had told him that I loved him too soon, because he's not set it back.
01:01:32But then he does things like this for me.
01:01:35And it's just, like, reminds me, this is how he feels.
01:01:39I think I need to get rid of my insecurities and just trust that you're here for a reason.
01:01:45I'm so scared of getting hurt now, but I just have to let that go, don't I?
01:01:49And just trust.
01:01:50Promise, I will.
01:01:53Let's cheers to that.
01:01:55Cheers.
01:01:55You're the best.
01:02:00After ripping up their anonymous feedback letter from Stella and Philip,
01:02:06Gia has reached her breaking point.
01:02:09If we just get through this...
01:02:10No, I want to get the out of here, man.
01:02:13I'm not coming back.
01:02:14No, I just...
01:02:15I want...
01:02:15No, I don't want to talk on mic, man.
01:02:17Everyone listens to everything.
01:02:23Why don't you just wait on the couch?
01:02:24I'll be there in a minute, OK?
01:02:26I'll be there in a minute.
01:02:27I'll walk in.
01:02:39I don't think Gia's enjoying it anymore.
01:02:41I think she just wants to get out of here.
01:02:43And I will say that Gia has said, like, we want to leave together.
01:02:49So, at the moment, we both have said, like,
01:02:52Gia wants to leave.
01:02:54And I said, I'll go with her.
01:02:55So, I don't know when this would happen.
01:02:57I'm leaving the ball in her court, because I'm happy to face anything.
01:03:00And if we decide to go, we go.
01:03:02We go together.
01:03:13If we just get through this...
01:03:14No, I want to get the out of here, man.
01:03:17I'm not coming back.
01:03:18No, I just...
01:03:19I want...
01:03:19No, I don't want to talk on mic, man.
01:03:21Everyone listens to everything.
01:03:23Gia wants to leave.
01:03:24And I said, I'll go with her.
01:03:25So, if we decide to go, we go.
01:03:28We go together.
01:03:30We go together.
01:03:59Jira and Scott are leaving.
01:04:01What?
01:04:01I just saw them with their bags.
01:04:03I don't know what is going on.
01:04:05The fact that Jira and Scott are walking out with their bags.
01:04:12They've obviously got to be somewhere and they've got more.
01:04:15Better priorities to go to, obviously.
01:04:19That's wild.
01:04:20They're leaving.
01:04:22That's insane.
01:04:23I'm like lost for words.
01:04:26That's just a cop out.
01:04:28We are in this experiment to find love and to work together as couples and to grow and
01:04:35we're only here for three months.
01:04:36Like we're nearing to the end.
01:04:39But they would rather pack their bags and walk off.
01:04:42And I'm like, well, have they checked out of the experiment?
01:04:51Tomorrow night.
01:04:52I feel like I have been caught up in the Jira and Beck war.
01:04:56It's been toxic from the start.
01:04:58I refuse to play the game anymore.
01:05:01Alyssa's reached her limit and is standing her ground.
01:05:05I've had enough.
01:05:06And it's the first time she'll come face to face with Beck after those text messages.
01:05:12The vibe with Alyssa was icy cold.
01:05:14It was vile and vicious.
01:05:16Very different vibe tonight, Alyssa, doesn't she?
01:05:18Hang on, hang on a minute.
01:05:19Hang on, hang on.
01:05:20Oh, God.
01:05:21Stop using me.
01:05:24Why are you laughing?
01:05:25What bombshell has Sam dropped on Chris right before the dinner party?
01:05:29I'm fuming.
01:05:30I feel uncomfortable.
01:05:31I feel betrayed.
01:05:33I've never had someone do this to me.
01:05:36And then...
01:05:37That needs to stop.
01:05:38That needs to stop.
01:05:39Has Danny reached his breaking point?
01:05:42I want you to be wary about what you text people.
01:05:44Two months ago, Daniel.
01:05:45Two months ago.
01:05:46I don't care if it was ten years ago.
01:05:48You know, I'll be sorry.
01:05:48Bye-bye.
01:05:55Bye-bye.
