00:00You are the Daily Mail.
00:02Hey, you're puppeteering them.
00:03Papa!
00:04You're not coming for my husband.
00:08Dinner is served.
00:10Welcome to MAPS.
00:11After the dinner party, I'm Jules,
00:13here with Laura and Brittany.
00:15And just when we thought things couldn't get any worse,
00:18cue the final dinner party.
00:19If you thought that was wild,
00:21just wait until you see what we've got planned.
00:24Receipts that were never meant to be seen,
00:26another calculated move revealed,
00:28bulk unseen footage that explains it all,
00:30and a guest that is here
00:32that we never thought we would see on this couch.
00:35Well, get ready, because tonight,
00:37the truth is all coming out.
00:39Scott's here following his tragic breakup.
00:41His tears are dried, and, well, he's not holding back.
00:44Plus, we have a very special guest, James.
00:47Gia's alternate match is going to join us tonight,
00:50and he is armed with receipts
00:51that are absolutely going to blow your socks off.
00:53Stella and Phillip are going to join us
00:55to spill all the behind-the-scenes gossip
00:56that you don't want to miss.
00:58Then, drum roll, please.
01:01Pinch yourself,
01:03because seven attempts later,
01:06Gia is finally in the building.
01:08Yeah.
01:09Yeah, you heard right.
01:10Gia's officially here.
01:11Well, actually, whether or not she makes it
01:13those final steps to the couch,
01:15if she knows what we know, she may not.
01:18I will believe it when I see it.
01:19I want to make sure everyone locks down the bathrooms, too,
01:21because we know she loves to make a beeline.
01:22She does love a runner, so, yeah, good luck to us, hey?
01:24Well, that dinner party had everything tonight.
01:27We've seen drama within the group before,
01:29but tonight, couples cracked,
01:31and one even fell apart for good.
01:33But amongst the chaos,
01:34one couple remained unshakable.
01:36And that's Stella and Phillip.
01:38Let's bring them out.
01:46Here they are.
01:47Hello.
01:48Hey.
01:49Welcome to the couch.
01:51Thank you for having us.
01:51Thanks for having us.
01:53Welcome back.
01:54Okay, shall we?
01:54You guys are the shiny beacon of light
01:56in this whole thing at the moment.
01:57Congratulations on the key exchange.
01:59How does that feel?
02:00It feels amazing.
02:02Like, this is everything that I wanted,
02:03and it was just going all in and going,
02:04you know what, this is it.
02:05Like, let's go.
02:06It really was a double whammy,
02:07because Stella not only gave you the key to her house,
02:10but the key to her heart.
02:13We are rooting for you guys,
02:15and all of Australia is rooting for you guys,
02:17but this dinner party that's just happened
02:18was pretty intense,
02:19and I think something that we saw from you guys,
02:22which we haven't really seen a lot,
02:23is that you had a lot to say,
02:24and you really kind of called people into line.
02:27Why do you feel, in this instance,
02:30that you had to speak up?
02:31We always had something to say,
02:32but no one was listening.
02:35There's too much chaos going on.
02:37I'm like, I want to have a game.
02:38No one was listening.
02:39Everyone just told to shush for me,
02:41so I'm like, you know, whatever.
02:42One thing we saw tonight,
02:43which I absolutely loved,
02:44is when you put your foot in it,
02:45and you said,
02:45Dani, congratulations.
02:48Was that the most awkward thing ever?
02:51You told Bec you're in love,
02:52and then she goes,
02:54what was so...
02:55That was hilarious.
02:55So what was going on?
02:57You know, when you see and hear things,
02:58and they're just like,
02:59in which world it matches,
03:01and instead of having rumours going back and forth,
03:05I'm always like,
03:06just have a chat about it.
03:07Well, about that falling in love comment,
03:09we have some unseen footage
03:11of what both Bec and Dani were saying
03:13at the dinner party
03:14that didn't quite make the cut,
03:16so we're going to have a look.
03:17Cue the popcorn.
03:18Let's go.
03:19Let's go.
03:21Since that commitment ceremony,
03:23he has stepped up,
03:24it's changed,
03:24because after that commitment ceremony,
03:26I've run away for a little while,
03:29and then coming back,
03:29I went to the conversation,
03:30I just said to him,
03:31I don't know if I can do this.
03:32Mmm.
03:33Mmm.
03:33He begged me.
03:34He begged me.
03:35He told me he was falling in love with me.
03:36That's so nice.
03:37Yeah.
03:39That's so nice.
03:40He's had it twice now.
03:41In two days.
03:42Wow.
03:43Tomorrow?
03:44Well, there you go.
03:46That's progress.
03:46All I wanted was him to drop his guard down.
03:49Let me in.
03:51And, you know, so, yeah.
03:53Okay.
03:53I'm just really glad
03:54that we've kind of been pretty open and honest
03:56throughout the couch sessions and stuff,
03:58because if it wasn't for the expert's help,
04:00I don't think we would be here.
04:03I thought there was someone coming in.
04:05Did you say?
04:07Oh, he's a tripper.
04:09We had it.
04:09We had it.
04:10We had a promise.
04:11We're on a boat, buddy.
04:12I think I've been in the freeze.
04:13You're the best man.
04:14Yeah.
04:23When you look at that back,
04:25who do you think is telling the truth?
04:27Do you think that he actually said it to Beck?
04:29Yeah, I think he did.
04:30Yeah.
04:30Yeah, I think he did.
04:31And she took it in a certain way
04:33and she was convinced.
04:34Have you ever been suspicious
04:35of their relationship
04:36and the strength of it?
04:38Yeah.
04:40Danny tried to fall in love with Beck.
04:42It's just every time there was something,
04:45you know, Beck was being Beck.
04:47Yeah, for sure.
04:48And it was just like, whoa.
04:49And it's just two steps forward,
04:52three steps back.
04:52Yeah, that's exactly what I was going to say.
04:53Big ass that Danny's like two days out
04:55from the ceremony
04:56and he's saying,
04:57my feelings are increasing.
04:58Like, that's what he said he said verbatim.
05:00It's an Elzman and Star.
05:02Exactly.
05:03What's it been like watching it back?
05:05Because it's one thing to live it
05:06and it's another thing to sit back
05:07on your couch at home and watch it.
05:08Because you make so many discoveries
05:09about other couples.
05:11What's it been like watching Scott
05:13and Gia's relationship back?
05:14Look, I didn't know the kind of mental ringer
05:18Scotty was getting put around.
05:20Like, he was just,
05:20the goalposts were always getting moved
05:22and, you know,
05:22he was always trying to just meet Gia
05:24on, you know,
05:26on her terms with absolutely everything.
05:28And we didn't know it was that chaotic.
05:29I feel so bad for Scotty.
05:30And he just always wanted to believe,
05:31like, blindly, you know?
05:32But, yeah.
05:33I do think, though,
05:33that if he was honest about it,
05:35the relationship would have
05:36unravelled a lot faster.
05:38And so, like,
05:38not speaking up
05:39is what allowed it to get
05:41to this point so far
05:42in the experiment.
05:42He protected her so much.
05:44Well, the cracks started to show
05:45for Scott and Gia
05:46the last couple of weeks.
05:47We've seen that.
05:48But tonight,
05:48we saw it absolutely implode.
05:50The relationship is
05:51very obviously
05:52completely done and dusted.
05:54I was holding on
05:55for dear life the whole time.
05:56I think Australia was like,
05:57are they going to make it?
05:58I thought he was going to go back
05:59for a second again.
06:00I know.
06:01Everyone was yelling
06:01at the screen,
06:02Scott, no!
06:03Yes, yes.
06:03Well, Scott's here tonight
06:05so let's get him out.
06:06Yes!
06:15Hey!
06:16Hello!
06:16Happy!
06:19What a romance!
06:21Oh, thanks.
06:22How are you?
06:22Hello, how are you?
06:24I'm good, how are you?
06:24I'm good.
06:25Come, get in the sandwich.
06:26I'm on the sandwich.
06:27Hello, how are you guys?
06:28Welcome!
06:29We're air hug.
06:30I've got my family here.
06:31Yes!
06:31I mean, the whole country
06:32wants to hug you.
06:34Team Scott!
06:35I think everyone
06:36was just hearts broken for you
06:37and we've obviously known
06:39that there have been cracks
06:40for a while
06:41but seeing how
06:42the dinner party
06:43played out
06:44that was really, really emotional.
06:46How does it feel for you now?
06:48It feels good obviously
06:50to get some clarity obviously
06:51but at the same time
06:52watching it
06:53brings up a bit of emotions.
06:55Absolutely.
06:55You said that you would
06:56come onto the couch
06:57but you didn't want Gia
06:58on here with you.
06:59We're not doing that to you
07:00but she is here
07:01and she is watching
07:02the conversations
07:03that we're having
07:04and why didn't you
07:05want to sit on the couch
07:06and do it alongside her?
07:08Just
07:10no matter what I do
07:11or say
07:11she's going to try
07:12and make an excuse for it
07:13so nothing will come
07:13good out of it.
07:14Like I've moved past this now
07:16I want to move on
07:16with my life
07:17and having that energy
07:18next to me
07:19will make me feel like crap
07:20so I don't need that.
07:21We never in a million years
07:22could have predicted
07:23that it would turn out
07:24exactly the way
07:25that it has turned out.
07:26Was it as bad as it looked
07:27or was it worse?
07:28Yeah it was pretty bad.
07:29Like every commitment
07:30to my roomie
07:31every dinner party
07:31every time I got home
07:33I'm out
07:33I'm breaking up with you
07:35just repeat
07:35and I don't know
07:36what it was
07:37like watching it
07:38I'm like what was I doing
07:38but at the same time
07:39the emotional manipulation
07:41behind her
07:41she's so good at it
07:42made me feel like
07:43she was always in the right.
07:44Before we dig into it
07:45too deep
07:45we've got some footage
07:47of your final week
07:48on the show
07:49let's take a look.
07:49Love a good footage.
07:51Don't want you
07:52to be upset
07:54what I'm going to talk about
07:55is feelings
07:57where
07:58I
07:59I feel like
08:01I can't speak my voice
08:02when I have a concern
08:03and it's a weakness of mine.
08:05This is your opportunity
08:07to ask yourself
08:08is the grass greener
08:10on the other side?
08:12Well I can't do this
08:13I don't want to do this
08:14I instantly felt sick
08:16and thanks for coming out here
08:17but I'm in a good relationship
08:18right now
08:19I just
08:21I'm probably just going to go
08:23Where are you going?
08:24Gia
08:26Stop
08:26I just want to go home
08:27to see my child
08:28and my mum
08:29and get the fuck out of here
08:30and be out of this fake reality
08:31I want to go home
08:33I can't be here anymore
08:35I would like you to come with me
08:37It's not happening
08:38because I just wanted to finish with you
08:40and I didn't
08:41Okay
08:41All the best Scott
08:44I just don't think I deserve
08:45to get a phone call
08:46giving me an ultimatum
08:47to just leave this experiment
08:49Oh fuck's sake
08:55I'm just speechless
08:58Yo!
08:59Hey what's happening girls?
09:00Just looking for the beautiful Gia
09:01You make a good amount of money?
09:02Enough
09:02Because I only date men
09:04that pay for money
09:05I kind of want to be like
09:07a trophy wife
09:07I can wait another year
09:08For what?
09:10I'm literally done in a week
09:12That is disgusting
09:15I just got fucked
09:17for three months
09:18I just got fucked
09:20She just used me
09:23Gia was meant to go home
09:25to Melbourne
09:25when she left me
09:27Turns out she wasn't even there
09:29She was in Sydney
09:30the whole time
09:30saying that her daughter
09:32was upset
09:32crying with her
09:33when all of it was a lie
09:34She never even flew back
09:36to Melbourne
09:42My heart just
09:42immediately dropped
09:43I didn't want to look at her
09:45I feel sick
09:46Dear Scott
09:47I came back tonight
09:48to not leave
09:49and to show you
09:49that I'm here
09:50to bare my soul
09:52not for the cameras
09:52but for you
09:57It's my time
09:58to talk
10:00I'm not sure
10:01what it is
10:01that you're looking for
10:02Gia
10:02but I can tell you
10:03you're not the one for me
10:05We are a different calibre
10:09of people
10:11Sorry but
10:13I'm done
10:14I'm done
10:16At the end of the day
10:17it was a showmance
10:19All he does
10:20is use me for my body
10:22Come on
10:22Stop
10:23He'll have sex with me
10:24but he'll never fall in love with me
10:26Can you cut the shit?
10:26My God
10:27Can you shush?
10:28You guys don't know everything
10:33I can see you're getting upset
10:34How do you feel
10:35watching yourself
10:36That's okay
10:36But in that
10:37such a vulnerable
10:39situation
10:39You give up
10:41so much of your time
10:41for someone
10:42It's not just TV
10:44I actually gave it a go
10:45People may say
10:46it's fake
10:47it's not
10:47Like that's why
10:49it's just
10:50three full months
10:52every day
10:5224-7
10:53trying to make a relationship work
10:54and then when you see things
10:56like that
10:57Can I ask Scott
10:58because
10:59I know that there's been
11:00lots of conversations around it
11:01where you said
11:02that you weren't ready
11:03to tell Gia
11:04that you were in love with her
11:05Your reaction
11:06was so big
11:08and it was the reaction
11:09of someone
11:09who I would say
11:10was in love with someone
11:11Do you look back on that
11:12and in the time
11:12think
11:13I actually did love her?
11:16I think parts of it
11:17but there's so many more things
11:19I need to see in a woman
11:20before I could say
11:21I love them
11:21How did you feel
11:22when you were watching
11:23those things Gia said
11:24like
11:25I want someone
11:26that pays for everything
11:27I want someone
11:27that does everything
11:28I want to be a kept woman
11:30Were those conversations
11:31she was having
11:32with you as well
11:33did you know that about her?
11:34No
11:34like I did say
11:35at the start of the experiment
11:36I want to be a man
11:37to provide her
11:37but not exactly
11:38in that sort of way
11:39like
11:39just as if
11:40she's a gold digger
11:41like I didn't really want that
11:42Can I ask how you feel
11:44genuinely about
11:44Gia's feelings towards you
11:46because it was
11:46a very tumultuous ride
11:47like sometimes I thought
11:48oh she really feels this
11:50I don't agree with a lot of things
11:51she's doing and saying
11:52but I believed her connection
11:54and feelings for you were real
11:55and then she would flip
11:56and do something
11:57where I thought
11:57oh hang on
11:58did I get sucked into that?
11:59Did you feel it was real?
12:01At times definitely
12:02I don't think
12:03you know
12:03she was pretending
12:04I think she genuinely was there
12:06like had her best interest
12:07at heart for me
12:08but also too
12:09there was a bit of an act
12:10in terms of forcing me
12:11to tell her I love her
12:11you know
12:12look at her right now
12:13she's already in love
12:14within a second
12:15like
12:16I um
12:17yeah I don't know
12:18it's so sorry
12:19no no no
12:20there's just like
12:21such a massive wave
12:23because one day
12:24she's so close to me
12:25when we go out together
12:26and you feel that connection strong
12:28but then the next minute
12:29she'll turn on me
12:30what did you think tonight
12:31at the dinner party
12:32when she was emotive
12:34and then the moment
12:35you stormed off
12:36she went on the attack
12:38very quickly
12:39it just gives me more clarity
12:40yeah
12:41that show she doesn't love me
12:42look at her body language
12:44look at Bec
12:45look at her winking at her
12:46look at the game plan they made
12:47like that scene for me
12:48was one of the most explosive scenes
12:50that I had seen
12:51on Married at First Sight
12:52the scene in the bathroom
12:53where Bec and Gira
12:55conniving on
12:55you know what you've got to do
12:57Australia's watching
12:58you've got to out victim him
12:59and make sure you cry
13:00Gia says yes
13:01I'll make sure I cry
13:02I felt sick
13:03like I just
13:04I didn't know there's people
13:05like that out there
13:06it's just
13:06show the calculation
13:08it's crazy man
13:09shit's warm
13:10yeah manipulation
13:11where I'm confused
13:12in the sense of
13:13what did she love me
13:14or is she trying to
13:15the biggest thing was
13:15to out victim him
13:16like what
13:17I don't excuse any of the behaviour
13:19I think it's very clear
13:20that it was all horrible
13:21but I do think
13:23that there was
13:24emotions and feelings
13:25there as well
13:26I don't think you can
13:26fabricate that
13:27no no 100%
13:28Scott why did you write the letter
13:30why
13:31yeah
13:31and it was
13:32I needed to say something
13:33because I've been quiet
13:35and I just
13:36I had to
13:37have my ending
13:38like I need my closure
13:39to let her know
13:40it's done
13:41yeah
13:41Gia said that your relationship
13:43was a showmance
13:45was it
13:45was it real
13:46it was definitely real
13:48if she's saying it's a showmance
13:49she said she loved me
13:52I spent so many weekends with her
13:54I took her daughter out
13:55for her birthday
13:55she was on my show
13:56I was facetiming her mum
13:57and her daughter
13:57if I had these special
13:59family moments
14:01without cameras
14:02is that showmance
14:03is it
14:03come on
14:04there is so much
14:05obviously going on
14:06behind closed doors
14:07that we don't get to see
14:08between you and Gia
14:09here's some behind the scenes
14:10audio of you
14:11talking to a producer
14:12right after the call
14:14with Gia
14:14and it's where we
14:15really saw you open up
14:19like you know what it is
14:21she's fucking hurt me
14:22too many times
14:23this experiment
14:24and I keep holding on
14:25and I think
14:25just too many times
14:27like fuck up
14:28had some bombs on me
14:29that none of you guys
14:30know what it is
14:31like what
14:32oh what she's done
14:33said to me
14:33and she was
14:35like for you
14:36I'm like the most
14:37useless motherfucker
14:37you can ever come across
14:38pretty much like
14:40like crumbs
14:41I'm not like
14:41if you're secure
14:42I'm not a man
14:42I'm a bitch
14:43everything
14:43just everything
14:44when she smiles
14:46everything she can think of
14:47is if I'm a fucking
14:48piece of shit
14:49and then apologizes
14:50and cries on my shoulder
14:51because I know she doesn't mean
14:51and that's why I forgive her
14:52because I know she doesn't mean
14:53she does it
14:54because she smiles
14:55because I'm in love with her
14:56so she reacts
14:57she responds the wrong way
14:58and then she even sits on the couch
15:00I say these
15:01because when I'm hurt
15:02I'm going to make the other person
15:03feel like shit too
15:04and that she's done
15:05the whole experiment
15:09this will be her
15:10out of the world too
15:11you can't
15:12that's it
15:13that's her
15:15oh man
15:16I didn't even know
15:16what to do
15:16like
15:17yeah
15:17Scott
15:18it's hard
15:18hard to watch
15:19wow
15:19that's a lot
15:20is that part of the reason
15:21that you didn't leave with Gia
15:23yeah
15:25like we didn't know that
15:26we didn't know
15:27that that was going on
15:28or that you felt like that
15:29I'm a personal guy
15:30I care things to myself
15:31Gia was going to leave
15:32the experiment
15:33but for a little while there
15:34you were going to leave
15:35with her
15:36what happened for you
15:37so something in my gut said
15:38do not leave
15:40there's something you need to see
15:41yeah
15:41and which is what
15:43the video
15:44that was it
15:45keeping her options open to someone
15:47what was the absolute breaking point
15:49honestly
15:50probably when I watched that video
15:51hmm
15:52and then just went down here
15:54from there real fast
15:55I only date men with money
15:56and you know
15:57you can find me on mass
15:58after the show
15:58I'm done in a week
15:59if you have the audacity
16:00to do that on national television
16:02I can only imagine
16:03what you're doing behind closed doors
16:05Scott
16:05have you spoken to Gia
16:06since
16:06like since you parted ways
16:08after the dinner party
16:09have you spoken
16:09I was at home
16:11and I get a phone call
16:12hey I'm at the Gold Coast

16:20and said
16:20can we get a coffee
16:21I'm like what
16:23I rejected her on it
16:24and then she went off at me
16:25and said
16:26I moved here for you
16:27yada yada yada
16:28when originally she said no
16:30but the moment I rejected her
16:31she went off again
16:32and then within a week
16:33within two weeks
16:34she moved back to Melbourne

16:37yeah
16:38must have
16:38yeah

16:41the final test video
16:41was where you hit
16:42the point of no return
16:43however you weren't the only
16:45couple who faced hurdles

18:04aww
18:05it's insane watching
18:06how differently
18:07the men and women
18:08handle that situation
18:09like polar opposites
18:10do you think
18:11do you think
18:11the women were flirting?
18:12drop your pants
18:13everything they were saying
18:14Alyssa
18:15Bec
18:16Gia
18:18obviously Rachel
18:18carried herself well
18:19yourself
18:20you know
18:20a couple of them were
18:21but most of them
18:22how was that
18:24experience

18:27like how
18:28how she came home
18:29and said to me
18:30everything that a guy
18:31wanted to hear
18:32this guy's all over me
18:33I told him to get off me
18:34like
18:34all the things
18:35that you want to hear right
18:36obviously what she told me
18:38was complete opposite
18:38to what I witnessed
18:39and that's my turning point
18:40well Scott it seems that
18:42Gia didn't tell you
18:42the full story
18:43there are many twists
18:44and turns
18:45so James
18:47Gia's alternate match
18:48is here to shed some light
18:50on the details
18:51that none of us
18:53knew about
18:53no way
19:03hey
19:05hello
19:05oh you can have her bro
19:08what
19:08oh it's like that way
19:11hello
19:11well this won't
19:12this won't be awkward
19:13it's not awkward
19:15because I'm
19:15you can have it
19:16you lived the experience
19:17you were there in the flesh
19:19you've now watched it back
19:20I'm dying to hear your thoughts
19:22do you feel like
19:23the girls and Gia
19:25were flirting
19:25yeah I was getting a vibe
19:26back from her
19:27so
19:27so what was the vibe
19:28you were getting back
19:29that she's ready to mingle
19:30she was flirtatious
19:31yeah straight away
19:32so I was talking to her
19:34giving some riz
19:34like I would
19:35so James
19:36after you've had this
19:37interaction with Gia
19:38and you were leaving
19:39yep
19:39were you thinking
19:40wham bam thank you ma'am
19:41like I'm in
19:41I have a solid chance
19:42with this girl
19:43didn't think I was in
19:44but I was going to follow up
19:45and follow through
19:46with my side
19:46so I sent a message
19:48on Instagram
19:49got a message back
19:50saying sorry I'm happily married
19:51and a photo of Scott
19:52with his top off
19:53with his finger up
19:53so
19:54you swapped details
19:55and she said I'm free in a week
19:57so that must have been
19:58confusing to you as well
19:58because you've gotten
19:59the sort of A-OK
20:01and then she's like
20:02back off
20:02of course
20:03but look
20:04it's like sales right
20:05and you get 10 no's
20:06before you get a yes
20:06so you have to
20:07you have to
20:08be persistent
20:09I don't know
20:10did you continue
20:10with the persistence
20:11at that point
20:12I followed up
20:13asked how his date was
20:14because I knew
20:15that they were doing
20:15something similar
20:16so I got a phone call
20:17about four or five phone calls
20:18the next day
20:18so
20:20okay
20:20James
20:21you've given the team
20:22copies of your receipts
20:23which they have cross-checked
20:25with the timestamps
20:26on footage
20:27and Gia's travel itinerary
20:29to build a picture
20:29of what exactly went down
20:31on the final date day
20:32Scott
20:34at 1.20pm
20:35Gia left your final date
20:37to go back to the apartment
20:38and leave the experiment
20:39now 30 minutes later
20:41at 1.55pm
20:43Gia rang you
20:44with an ultimatum
20:45you either leave
20:46or it's done
20:48James
20:48according to your screenshots
20:49Gia did call you
20:51three times that day
20:52now you missed her call
20:53at 3.06pm
20:54but she calls you
20:55straight after that
20:56again at 3.07pm
20:58this time
20:59you do answer
20:59then at 3.19pm
21:01she calls you
21:01for a third time
21:02and you speak on the phone
21:03again
21:04Gia doesn't know this bloke
21:06yep
21:07why is she calling him
21:08that many times
21:09straight after she leaves me
21:10she needs someone else
21:11she's already got another boyfriend
21:12for God's sake
21:12look how quick this is
21:13she needs something
21:14was the content of the call
21:16even though it was brief
21:17was it flirty banter?
21:20not really
21:20it was more anger
21:21of I'm leaving
21:22like
21:23I think she actually did mention
21:25Scott didn't want to leave with her
21:27so I'm leaving
21:27I'm going here
21:28I'm doing this
21:29she's called you multiple times
21:31there would have been a conversation
21:32about something else
21:33really?
21:34fuck yeah
21:35you're not just calling up
21:35having a yarn
21:36I've obviously said
21:37a good first impression
21:39she wanted to ring me
21:40so
21:40I can't help it
21:41if she rung me
21:42James
21:43you're the one who gave us
21:44those text messages
21:44you're the one who gave us
21:46the receipts
21:46Gia was sharing
21:48bikini photos with you
21:49she was
21:50like
21:50you said it wasn't flirty
21:51but I don't send bikini photos
21:53to anyone that I'm not flirty with
21:54oh the text messages were flirty
21:55conversations afterwards
21:56were flirty
21:56it weren't flirty immediately
21:57that scene of
21:59Gia and Scott
22:00on the street
22:01having the breakdown
22:02in their relationship
22:03that was so public
22:04she called you an hour
22:06after that
22:06one hour
22:07it's crazy
22:09and then she came to the dinner party
22:11and tried to get Scott back
22:12and tried to rekindle that relationship
22:14oh look
22:15if it was my missus
22:17I would be very upset
22:20it's not behaviour
22:22I would tolerate
22:22or want
22:23I didn't know
22:24that she was still
22:25in a relationship with Scott
22:26though
22:26still going through the process
22:27so if I did
22:28I wouldn't have carried on
22:29with the conversation
22:30Scott
22:30when you find out
22:31this type of information
22:33about something
22:33it just shows the level of lies
22:35and it clearly still affects you
22:37because it's ridiculous
22:38like I have never met someone
22:40so bad like this
22:42it doesn't stop
22:43I never knew this was going to happen
22:43I didn't know he was going to come here
22:44didn't know she called him
22:45I gave him the finger
22:47popped him off
22:48and then I didn't know
22:49this was happening after
22:50I'm like frustrated
22:51because I put so much time
22:53and effort into someone
22:54who's calling me showmance
22:56take a look at yourself
22:58she will never take accountability
23:00for her action
23:00because she thinks
23:01she's fine
23:02James thank you mate
23:03you dropped some pretty explosive receipts there
23:05can't wait to see what Gia has to say
23:08Philip and Stella
23:10excited for your final vows
23:11and Scotty
23:12good luck buddy
23:13it's been pretty hard
23:15watching your journey
23:16but we hope you find someone
23:18you can be your best self with
23:19okay well don't go anywhere
23:21Gia has not done a runner yet
23:22and she is still in the building
23:24and is about to join us here
23:25on this very couch
23:27Scott's had his time on the couch
23:29over and over
23:29getting his voice out there
23:31but I've got a lot to say
23:32so I think it's my turn to speak now
23:34it's been seven weeks
23:36six no-shows
23:37and more complex negotiations
23:39than a NATO peace agreement
23:41Gia is here
23:42and honestly
23:43out of all the weeks
23:44to choose to come
23:45she chose this one
23:46which is the week
23:47that she has the most to answer to
23:48and I mean
23:49I for one think
23:50it's quite puzzling
23:50she has been watching
23:51Scott's interview
23:53as it played out
23:54I hear that she's pretty fired up
23:56and she's ready to come out
23:57and hear and tell us
23:57what she thinks of it all
23:58Gia fired up
23:59I mean that's all we've seen
24:00the whole show right
24:01that's nothing different
24:02alright well look
24:03let's not waste any time
24:04not another second
24:04let's bring Gia out
24:20hi
24:21I'm here
24:23you're here
24:24I'm here
24:24you made it
24:26it's like meeting Santa
24:27I know
24:28Santa's real
24:29so Gia we know you've been watching
24:31why have you decided
24:32to come on now
24:33um you know
24:34you guys have spoken about me
24:36every now and then
24:37and I'm like
24:37I've just got to take ownership
24:39and be accountable
24:39and show up
24:40like at the end of the day
24:41I can't grow
24:42unless I face
24:43the music really
24:44okay
24:45so when you say
24:46accountability
24:47you've just watched
24:48that conversation with Scott
24:50yeah
24:50how do you feel about that
24:52um
24:53it was really difficult
24:54because
24:55you know
24:56I was in love with him
24:57watching it now
24:58I'm like
24:59oh he was falling for me
25:00like I was self-sabotaging
25:01and running away
25:02and I'd maybe missed that
25:03and so I'm like
25:05I want him to know
25:05that it was real for me as well
25:06it was real
25:07I do believe
25:08that there were feelings there
25:09like I see those moments
25:10but Scott had a lot to say
25:12in the interview
25:12as you saw
25:13yeah
25:13I guess calling a bit of BS
25:15on the whole relationship
25:16he said he doesn't believe
25:17anything you said
25:18he was saying that
25:19it was a showmance for you
25:20and that you would
25:21berate him a lot
25:23behind closed doors
25:24I don't think it was
25:25to the degree that he's saying
25:26what I said
25:27but we've even seen you
25:28say these things
25:29like last week
25:30saying that he's dumb
25:31illiterate
25:32there's also things
25:33that he would say
25:33that you know
25:34made me feel a certain way
25:36but I haven't spoken on any of that
25:37I don't really want to
25:39shit talk him
25:41I don't know
25:43if I believe that
25:44and I say this
25:45because
25:46sit here and say
25:47oh well he did things
25:48but I don't want to tell you
25:49what it was
25:49well can we pull up
25:50some Mike moments
25:51of Scott
25:51where he was talking
25:52about the other women
25:53in the experiment
25:54and telling me
25:54that he hates my hair curly
25:55and he doesn't want my hair up
25:57and that I look a bit fat
25:58can we show any of that
25:59he said you looked fat
26:01he said you looked fat
26:02yeah
26:02I would love something
26:04shown of him
26:05to look bad for once
26:06because I feel like
26:07but why did you never
26:08bring that up
26:08in the experiment
26:09you cannot sit here
26:10and say
26:10I didn't want to
26:11make him look bad
26:12because you said
26:13probably the worst thing
26:14that you could say
26:14about a guy
26:15which was that
26:15they used you for sex
26:16right
26:17so you would
26:18you did go there
26:19so if he had said
26:20those things
26:20why didn't you bring
26:21them up there
26:21so I didn't want to
26:22I just didn't want to
26:23I felt like he already
26:24was so mad about
26:25so many other things
26:26he wasn't falling in love
26:27with me
26:27I'm not
26:27I'm not
26:27I'm like
26:28I'm not going to
26:28throw more shit
26:29on this
26:29I guess it's hard
26:30because in all the footage
26:32he speaks really well
26:33about you
26:34it's actually you
26:34that's not speaking
26:35well about him
26:36yep
26:38like
26:38it just doesn't make sense
26:40okay
26:41but can you see
26:42can you understand
26:43why from the outset
26:44it just doesn't make sense
26:46it
26:46yeah
26:47I mean
26:47it doesn't make sense
26:48I wish
26:48you could see more
26:50but you couldn't
26:50I mean
26:51I don't know
26:51I don't know what else to say
26:52like
26:52I guess what we're trying
26:53to ascertain is
26:54is when you're saying
26:55like you know
26:55why don't you show those videos
26:57we actually don't have them
26:59they do not exist to us
27:00so are you
27:01potentially
27:03trying to find things
27:04to justify
27:05the behaviour
27:06that we've seen
27:07no
27:08if there's no footage of it
27:09there's no footage of it
27:09I don't know what else I can say
27:11do you feel as though
27:12we're not seeing the real Scott then
27:13I
27:14I think you're seeing the real Scott
27:16I just think there's some moments that
27:18I wish was shown more
27:20like
27:20I don't know how else to put it
27:22like
27:22talk to us about though
27:23that
27:24moving
27:25like got your daughter
27:26you moved to the Gold Coast
27:27you moved
27:28within a very close proximity
27:29to where Scott was
27:30what was your intention
27:31well
27:31like 30 minutes from Scott
27:32the Gold Coast is small
27:34throughout the experiment
27:35I told my daughter
27:36we'd move back to the Gold Coast
27:37her dad lives on the Gold Coast
27:39and then
27:39yeah
27:40it was just too hard
27:41I relied on my mum
27:42and my family
27:43too much
27:43and they're like
27:44you need to be in Melbourne
27:44so we can help you
27:45that's fair
27:46and I get that
27:47but at that time
27:48did you also try
27:50and rekindle things with Scott
27:50I definitely did
27:51yeah 100%
27:52but then
27:52you just told us
27:53you said
27:54I wish you could all see
27:55how he treated me
27:56and what he said to me
27:57what he said behind closed doors
27:58and the extra footage
27:59pull it up
28:00if he was so bad
28:01why did you want to go
28:02and rekindle
28:03I'm not saying he was so bad
28:05he's not a bad person
28:06I don't think
28:07he was horrible
28:08I still wanted to be with him
28:09I was still in love with him
28:10but yeah
28:11I mean
28:12he said a couple things
28:13here and there
28:13that were bad
28:14I don't think
28:14he was as bad as me
28:15I'm not saying that
28:16I'm not saying
28:17he's just as bad
28:18definitely not
28:18let's go back to Melbourne
28:19when you went back
28:21you went to Melbourne
28:22sorry
28:23went to Melbourne
28:23lied
28:23came back
28:25what was the purpose
28:26of you coming back
28:28I don't know if I can say
28:29that production wanted me
28:31to come back
28:31for the dinner party
28:32to confront Scott
28:33did you want to come back
28:34so you didn't
28:34no
28:35you didn't want to come back
28:36at all
28:36no
28:37how does production
28:38make you come back
28:39if you don't want to
28:40well
28:40it's not make me
28:41it's the only opportunity
28:42I could see Scott though
28:43I'd reached out
28:44called text
28:45didn't hear anything from Scott
28:46basically I thought
28:47I don't know what else to do
28:48I'm still in Sydney
28:49the dinner party's tomorrow night
28:50I'm like fuck it
28:51I'll go to the dinner party
28:51you just said to us
28:52the production made you
28:54was that bullshit
28:54just then
28:55did you just lie to us
28:56I'm trying to talk away
28:57a way around it
28:58no you can be honest
28:58I'm genuinely trying
28:59to understand this
29:00so production
29:02took you to the airport
29:03like they booked you a flight
29:05they took you to the airport
29:06you got dropped off
29:07they sent you off to Melbourne
29:09you got your bags
29:10off that flight
29:11you stayed in Sydney
29:13you didn't go home
29:15and see your daughter
29:15who you said
29:16that that was the reason
29:17why you wanted to go home
29:18but now you're saying
29:19production made you go
29:20to the final dinner party
29:21production doesn't sound
29:22like they made you
29:22do any of that
29:23no they thought
29:24I was going to be in Melbourne
29:25obviously then I turned around
29:26and stayed in Sydney
29:27so then how did they make you
29:29go to the final dinner party
29:30well because they knew
29:30I was in Sydney
29:30because I went to the apartment
29:31so regardless
29:33you're going
29:34you're in a car
29:35and you're going
29:35to the dinner party
29:38why?
29:39to confront Scott
29:40and I wanted another chance
29:42confront him
29:43or get another chance
29:44because they're two different things
29:45I either wanted closure
29:47or another chance
29:47I didn't know how
29:48it was going to pan out
29:49because you know
29:50I had Beck telling me
29:51oh he's at the gym
29:52with Danny
29:53and you know
29:53there's probably a shot there
29:54and so I'm thinking
29:55okay I'm going to write a letter
29:56I'm going to do this
29:56so if you had one
29:57I mean your wish
29:59you could have had that pan out
30:00any way you want
30:01was it to get back with him?
30:02yep
30:03100% at that time
30:05talk me through
30:06the scene that we saw
30:07in the bathroom
30:08where you are talking to Beck
30:10and you obviously think
30:11you're off camera
30:11but you're very much mic'd up
30:13and you have a game plan
30:15of out victiming Scott
30:16you have to out victim him
30:18you have to make yourself
30:19seem like
30:20you're more hurt
30:21than he is
30:22anyone who was there
30:23would know I was
30:24I mean
30:24I wish you would play
30:26some footage of that
30:27of how I was
30:29but anyway
30:29but someone who's a victim
30:30doesn't have to out victim someone
30:32you never have to say that
30:33you don't have to
30:33hey can you cry
30:34can you do this
30:35there was a strategy to it
30:37Beck was telling me
30:38that I should
30:38and it wasn't in the way
30:39of like
30:40be a victim to make
30:41the group like you
30:43it was like
30:43be a victim so that
30:44he would see that
30:45but it also said
30:46be a victim so Australia
30:47I mean Australia
30:48was put in there as well
30:49look
30:49I think in that situation
30:51you were both as bad
30:51as each other
30:52but Beck literally said
30:53the best thing you can do
30:54is also cry
30:55and you said
30:55oh babe don't worry
30:56I'll be crying
30:57well I was going to cry
30:58I was crying all day
30:58but that's not how
30:59it came across
31:00it came across
31:01as a conversation
31:01that was very manipulative
31:03like
31:04okay
31:05shit
31:05they know that I lied about it
31:07what am I going to do here
31:08I'm going to have to outplay him
31:09you know the conversation
31:10was even
31:11right now
31:11everyone is poor Scott
31:13we need to turn that
31:14to poor Gia
31:14so that doesn't play
31:16like somebody that is like
31:17thinks that they lost
31:18the love of their life
31:19that's fine
31:20that's your perception
31:21he was
31:21and I did love him
31:23so
31:23it's just interesting though
31:25the moment you realise
31:26that the
31:29letter didn't land
31:30and you couldn't win him back
31:31he walked away
31:32and then you
31:33cut sick
31:34saying he was using you
31:35for sex
31:36and it was a showmance
31:37yep
31:38you can understand
31:39why we're confused
31:40so tell us about
31:42why you would do that
31:44I
31:45you know
31:45use it as a defence mechanism
31:47when I'm hurt
31:48and I don't feel like
31:49you know
31:50I'm protecting myself
31:51I'm like
31:51okay well he doesn't want me now
31:52so just unleash
31:53I've got nothing to lose
31:54he doesn't want me
31:55who cares
31:55like
31:56do you look back now
31:57and knowing
31:58how much Scott
31:59did actually feel for you
32:00and this thing that you
32:01you guys got
32:02you got stuck on
32:02like you got stuck on
32:03the fact that he wouldn't say
32:04I love you
32:05how do you feel about that now
32:06do you regret
32:07all of this
32:08yeah
32:08yeah
32:09I just
32:11just think I was self-sabotaging
32:12and I was projecting
32:13and I'm trying to
32:14I was insecure
32:14and I'm
32:15I'm trying to make him
32:16you know
32:17say he loves me back
32:18yeah
32:18there was a lot with that
32:19um
32:20the test right
32:20the final test
32:22that was
32:22we all saw
32:23the grass is greener
32:23yep
32:24do you look at that now
32:26and think you were flirting
32:28I
32:29denied that I did to Scott
32:31I'll admit that
32:32I was trying to
32:33soften the blow
32:33and act like
32:34it wasn't as bad
32:35as it was
32:35but watching it
32:36I'm like
32:36yeah it was
32:37it was pretty bad
32:37why
32:38why were you flirting
32:39like that
32:40I feel like
32:41I'd reached a point
32:41in my relationship
32:42where I
32:42I was spiralling
32:44way too hard
32:45I didn't feel
32:46that he felt the same
32:47about me
32:48and I was just
32:48like this person
32:49was giving me
32:50so much heavy attention
32:51I was like
32:52alright
32:52you said to James
32:54and the grass is greener
32:55I'll see you in a week

33:06and I just gave Scott my phone
33:07I was like
33:07oh my god

33:09we ended up blocking him
33:10so he tried to
33:11he tried to like
33:12slide back into your DMs
33:13and reignite something
33:13and you just put it to bed

33:19we spoke to James earlier
33:21and
33:23we actually know
33:24that you were
33:25having
33:26more contact
33:28with him
33:28when I had left Scott
33:29and I was on the Gold Coast
33:30actually
33:31on the final date
33:33when you stormed off
33:35from Scott
33:36yeah
33:36we know that
33:37you called
33:38James and spoke to him
33:39that day
33:40why did you just
33:41lie to us
33:43well
33:43Scott and I were done
33:44when I was with Scott
33:46I wasn't
33:46no
33:47you said you blocked him
33:48and you weren't done
33:49no I unblocked him
33:50100%
33:51okay so you've unblocked him now
33:52well I don't talk to him now
33:54but it was a day after
33:55so you've had
33:56a date with him
33:57at the final test
33:58yeah
33:59and then the next date
34:00you've got the final date
34:01yeah
34:02and so
34:02you've blocked him
34:03for a single night
34:04in other words
34:05you've blocked him
34:06in front of Scott
34:07yeah
34:07and now the next day
34:08you're in with Scott
34:10we're going to the airport
34:11Scott goes
34:12no
34:13we're two days out
34:14let's see this through
34:15I want to hold your hands
34:16and I want to express
34:17my commitment to you
34:19yeah
34:20and then
34:20instead of you saying
34:21I'll stay with you Scott
34:23you unblocked James
34:25and you called him
34:26three times
34:26what are you talking about
34:28what was your reason
34:29I called him
34:30because we had just
34:31had the final date
34:32Scott didn't leave with me
34:33so this was like
34:33two three days later
34:34no
34:34it was one hour later
34:36you called James
34:37was it
34:37okay
34:38we had the grass is greener
34:39then the very next day
34:40is the final date
34:41well I don't remember
34:42with filming
34:42what day exactly it was
34:43but I know you might not remember
34:45but it's
34:45you've had a one hour break up
34:46like you've literally
34:47just had an argument
34:48on the street
34:48why call him
34:49not your mum
34:50not your best friend
34:51not Chris
34:52I did call mum first
34:53because mum and my daughter
34:53flew to Sydney
34:54so I called them
34:55and said go to the airport
34:56yeah definitely called him
34:57so why
34:57a random guy
34:58that you didn't know
34:58I rang him on Instagram
35:00he didn't have my number
35:01rang him on Instagram
35:01and I said to him
35:03this guy said he was
35:04going to leave with me
35:05he's not leaving with me
35:06like what do I do
35:07I asked him literally
35:08as a male friend
35:10but why James
35:10you don't know him
35:10so why would you call him
35:11because he was giving me
35:12good advice
35:12it just doesn't check out
35:14that you have
35:15had this break up
35:16with someone that you love
35:16and you actually wanted him
35:18to chase you
35:18then you call this
35:20random stranger
35:21you met the day before
35:22that was there
35:22to be set up with you
35:23that you flirted with
35:23and said I'll be available
35:24in a week
35:25only to then
35:26fakey 180 at the airport
35:28get your luggage back off
35:29not tell anyone
35:30and go back to fight for Scott
35:31throw Scott back
35:32under the bus
35:33and then storm out
35:34and then rekindle it
35:36with James
35:37make it make sense
35:38I was like
35:40fuck it
35:40I wanted to feel
35:41wanted
35:42I was so rejected
35:43by Scott
35:43you have no idea
35:44I was begging him
35:46yeah I was begging him
35:47like it's actually fucked
35:49I was begging him
35:50to just even sleep with me
35:52I needed something from him
35:53but I wasn't getting anything
35:54like I wasn't
35:55like and at that time
35:56this person was giving me attention
35:58and I took the attention
36:00I think
36:01that's the truth
36:02I understand
36:03and I think
36:04you know look
36:04I say this as someone
36:06who in a very past life
36:08used to monkey branch
36:09if I got rejected here
36:11I would have something else
36:12to back up
36:13like I know what that feeling's like
36:14I've done that
36:15and so I actually
36:17I can recognise it
36:18when I see it
36:18and I don't think
36:19it's because you were
36:20really into James
36:21even necessarily
36:22but it filled a hole
36:23not at all
36:24where do you think
36:24that insecurity comes from?
36:26oh god
36:27that's so horrible
36:28I don't want to talk about that
36:29I'm sorry
36:29are you okay?
36:31yeah
36:31it's just
36:31I don't want to excuse any of this
36:33like I'm taking on
36:34what you guys are saying
36:35but like you know
36:36there's always more to a story
36:38like there's reasons
36:39I didn't just wake up
36:40and decide to
36:41act like this
36:42you know
36:43I do think that you guys
36:44got into an extremely toxic cycle
36:47like
36:48and I don't think
36:49you had big feelings for James
36:51I think it was a
36:52I'm lonely
36:53I'm hurting
36:53so I'm going to get my attention
36:55from somewhere else
36:56I do think that that's what you did
36:58however
36:59I guess the reason
37:00why we're holding you
37:00so much to account on this
37:02is because
37:02the story changes
37:04as soon as we share
37:05a little bit more information
37:06you said you blocked him
37:07then when we say we know more
37:08then we
37:09the story stretches
37:10a little bit further
37:11I think you guys just really
37:12wanted me here to grill me
37:13and just call me a liar
37:14and it's just like
37:15we didn't
37:16I don't know what else to say guys
37:17like I fucked up
37:18you've got to remember
37:19this was last year
37:20I'm trying to move on
37:21from this
37:22it's like I don't
37:23you know
37:23I don't want to be that person anymore
37:25I don't
37:25otherwise I'll have another relationship
37:27that doesn't work
37:27and another friendship
37:29that doesn't work
37:29or whatever
37:30like I have to
37:31work on things
37:32yeah I'm glad
37:34you guys
37:34have pushed me to this
37:36because it's
37:36made me realise
37:37like I can't
37:38do this kind of shit
37:39it's just
37:39and again
37:40I'm raising a daughter
37:41like I need to be
37:43better
37:43you were given
37:45in my opinion
37:47a great groom
37:50you were given
37:51someone who was amazing
37:52all the way through
37:53to the end
37:54right
37:55so my question is
37:56why do you think
37:58he couldn't say
37:59I love you
38:00I think it was
38:01the outside noise
38:02and all the drama
38:02I was involved in
38:03and that behaviour
38:04that I was displaying
38:05that was the reason
38:06why he couldn't
38:06fall in love with me
38:07I think it was just
38:08I really needed
38:09to focus on Scott
38:10and not all of that shit
38:12and I just
38:12I couldn't
38:13it was some of the worst behaviour
38:14Gia I have seen
38:15on TV in Australia
38:17between you and Bec
38:18and I hate it
38:19I was almost rooting
38:20for you from the start
38:21thinking okay
38:22she's just had a moment
38:23she'll move past it
38:24but we were three months in
38:26and you just never
38:26moved past it
38:27yeah
38:28when you watch this back
38:30how do you feel
38:31because you were like that
38:32to the very end
38:33I literally can't watch it
38:34it's too confronting
38:35like I'm
38:37extremely embarrassed
38:39yeah I mean
38:39it's shown me
38:41sides of myself
38:42that I need to grow on
38:42and improve on
38:43definitely I watch it now
38:44and I'm like
38:45I can't
38:46you know
38:47facilitate normal friendships
38:48acting this way
38:49or like having a good
38:50relationship this way
38:51like it's
38:52some of the things
38:53that I've done
38:53I've done
38:54I realise
38:55that's not okay
38:56and I'm in therapy
38:58working on all that now
38:59but yeah
39:00I mean
39:00it's embarrassing
39:02I don't know
39:02what else to say
39:03like I'm humiliated
39:04I don't think
39:05I act like that
39:06all the time
39:07I mean
39:08I'm also a mum
39:09I also
39:10like to think
39:11I'm somewhat
39:12of a good person
39:13I'm not just
39:13a horrible person
39:14every single day
39:15of my life
39:15I wish
39:16more of the good
39:17was shown

40:03second thoughts about you
40:05because you'd just been
40:06creating so much drama

41:03one day
41:04well beyond Scott
41:05your relationship with Bec
41:06was really what defined your time
41:08in the experiment
41:09you guys just hated each other
41:10the entire time
41:12yeah
41:12this week your besties
41:13what happened
41:15I don't know
41:16I've no answer for that
41:17I think both of us
41:18wanted to relate to each other
41:19in some way
41:20when we were going through shit
41:21with our relationship
41:21all we've seen
41:22is truly how horrible
41:24the two of you have been
41:25to each other
41:25so surely
41:26when the cameras aren't rolling
41:27even if you have to be
41:28in the same room as each other
41:29even if you do catch up
41:30with other people
41:31surely that hatred
41:33is still there
41:33or that dislike for each other
41:34is still there
41:35like you don't just switch into
41:36oh okay now the camera's off
41:37we can be friends babe
41:38like what's going on
41:39and we were hanging out
41:41we were hanging out a little bit
41:41off camera
41:42and so I didn't know
41:43half the time before friends
41:44or if we weren't friends
41:45or what
41:45so it was just a messy situation
41:48it wasn't a friendship
41:49what about now
41:50definitely not
41:51do you trust her
41:52did you trust her
41:54so nah
41:55I mean you did put your trust
41:57in Beck at the dinner party
41:57and it backfired explosively
42:00but that might not have been
42:02the case for Beck
42:02so I want you to take a look
42:04at this unseen footage
42:05that she gave
42:06after the dinner party

42:15I don't want to sit at a dinner party
42:17and have issues with people
42:18I want to see Jira and Scott
42:20have it out with each other
42:23the only person
42:23that was going to get her here
42:24was the only friend she had
42:26was me
42:27oh

42:30yeah she fucked me over
42:31and now you look like a dick

42:43what would have thought
42:44I'm framing them
42:45I'm selling them
42:47jeez
42:48it's all been
42:48oh rainbows and lollipops
42:50the whole time
42:51and then you run away
42:52no no no
42:53you come back
42:53and show what your relationship
42:55really was
42:55because I've worked
42:56on my relationship
42:57you've worked on your relationship
42:58but you've come for mine
42:59you've come for yours
43:00you've come for everyone else's
43:02let's see what the reality
43:03of the situation is
43:05the only way to get her there
43:06was me
43:06mic drop
43:09mic drop
43:11bitch
43:13that's how we started
43:14and that's how we're going to end
43:15isn't it
43:18oh my god
43:19I feel sick
43:19Jira that's so savage
43:20how do you feel
43:21watching that
43:24wow
43:25I feel like an idiot
43:31I genuinely thought
43:32she was my friend
43:32at that point
43:33that's fucked
43:34it is
43:35like I wish I didn't
43:36like outside of the show
43:37I continue to try
43:38and be her friend
43:39she was at my birthday
43:39like you guys know that
43:41that's fucked
43:43that's fucked
43:44but in that moment
43:45you believed
43:45that you were friends
43:46yeah
43:48at that point in time
43:49I did
43:49yeah
43:49but you still said
43:50you didn't trust her as well
43:51was it
43:52yeah
43:52I didn't fully trust her
43:54but you know
43:55we had so many conversations
43:56off camera
43:57with the whole Scott thing
43:59and like she acted
44:00like she had my back
44:01and was telling me
44:02it would be a good thing
44:03to write the letter
44:03and that it would work
44:04and that I'd get through to him
44:05I really believed her would
44:07at that time
44:07but did you really believe
44:09Beck though
44:09you might have believed
44:10that you could have
44:10gotten through to Scott
44:11yeah
44:12surely
44:13surely
44:13of all of the things
44:15that she was doing
44:15and saying
44:16and the way
44:17the drama was unfolding
44:18oh my god
44:19that is so fucked
44:19like I don't understand
44:21how you could get
44:21to the end of this experiment
44:22and think
44:23you know whose advice
44:25I'm going to trust
44:26Bex
44:26Bex the person
44:27who I'm going to
44:28put my trust and confidence in
44:30like it doesn't make sense
44:31I don't know
44:32I don't know
44:33what I was thinking
44:33Scott and I would have
44:34so many conversations
44:35where he'd be like
44:36I'm trying to protect you
44:37she's not your friend
44:37she's not this
44:38and I'm like
44:38oh stop telling me what to do
44:39stop telling me
44:40who he'll be friends with
44:41and I'm like
44:42oh my god
44:43I'm like
44:43he knew this all along
44:45again because I wasn't
44:46focused on my relationship
44:47and Scott
44:48I wasn't able to take that
44:50on board
44:50I was focused on
44:51all the other girls
44:52and the drama
44:52look I think that
44:53the biggest thing
44:54to take home
44:54and take away from this
44:56is like
44:56it is a very good thing
44:57that you and Bex
44:58are not still
44:59in this frenemies
45:00friendship
45:01because that behaviour
45:03is so deeply toxic
45:04but you were also
45:06very much
45:06in self-sabotage mode
45:08like I think
45:08and it's one thing
45:09I know you've admitted it
45:10you can see that
45:11in yourself
45:12and I think that's
45:13something that you
45:14I didn't think
45:15I would say this
45:15but I do think
45:16you should be proud of that
45:17when you look back
45:18on it and you go
45:18oh I recognise
45:19what I was doing now
45:20like I was
45:20self-sabotaging
45:22and you've done it
45:23with every single
45:23relationship you've had
45:24in this show
45:26Gia in your audition
45:27you said you love drama
45:29you certainly brought it
45:30you brought it
45:31and got plenty of it
45:33but secondly
45:34you're still very young
45:36you've got a whole life
45:36ahead of you
45:37and this has given you
45:38some phenomenal
45:39life lessons
45:40it's made you more aware
45:42of some of your blind spots
45:43you've shared them
45:44with us today
45:44and lo and behold
45:46at the end
45:47you said
45:47I do not trust Bec
45:48and all along
45:49I should have trusted Scott
45:51and that is a pretty
45:52amazing bit of discovery
45:55so was it as bad
45:56as you thought
45:56sitting with us?
45:58Oh no
45:59I appreciate you guys
46:00and I appreciate
46:01the feedback
46:02and it's actually
46:03helpful I think
46:04moving forward
46:05now I can recognise more
46:06and seeing that
46:07I need to work
46:08on who I can trust
46:09and stop trying
46:10to look for drama
46:11and look for problems
46:12like there wasn't
46:13any problems with Scott
46:13I was looking for them
46:14but just to reiterate
46:16what Jules just said
46:17it's never too late
46:17to start fresh
46:18to realise that
46:19you've learned things
46:20to put them into play
46:21be a better person
46:21be a different person
46:22and be the person
46:23that you want
46:23your daughter to see as well
46:25and thank you for coming on
46:26and taking that accountability
46:27and look we know
46:28that you are in a new relationship
46:29and we genuinely
46:31we mean it
46:32we do hope that you get
46:33everything out of this relationship
46:34that you have always wanted
46:35and take the lessons
46:37from this whole thing
46:38and are able to implement them
46:39in your new relationship
46:40yep
46:40yep
46:41I'm trying to
46:42thank you so much
46:43well we're entering
46:44the final phase
46:44of the experiment
46:45final vows
46:46and if this doesn't
46:47bring a tear to your eye
46:48well nothing's ever going to
46:52I came into this experiment
46:53looking for love
46:55I definitely found
46:56what I've come here for
46:58here we go
47:05I know this might be hard to hear
47:13I know what my heart wants
47:25it's been a devastating time
47:26for the Maffs family
47:27after losing Mel Schilling
47:29who fought so bravely
47:30against cancer
47:31but over a decade
47:33she sat next to her colleague
47:35and more importantly
47:36her friend
47:36John Aiken
47:37as they both guided couples
47:38through the joys
47:39and the struggles
47:40of finding love
47:41to honour Mel
47:42and her memory
47:43John is here tonight
47:44John
47:45welcome back
47:47how you going
47:48well I won't
47:49I won't lie
47:50it's been a very
47:51very difficult time
47:52I mean
47:53she's been
47:55incredibly important
47:56to the show
47:56you know
47:57she was the heart
47:58of the whole thing
48:00what did this
48:01family mean to her
48:03well I mean
48:04she was there
48:05with me
48:06from series two
48:07and so she saw it
48:09grow into this juggernaut
48:10and we didn't really know
48:14how to deal with it
48:14Mel and I
48:15when it started to explode
48:17other than to lean
48:18on one another
48:20and it became our lives
48:21really
48:22and every time
48:23I would come in
48:23to see her
48:24she'd squeal
48:25jump up
48:26and come over
48:26and give me a tight hug
48:28and we would dance
48:30we would crack jokes
48:34and we'd have a lot of fun
48:36she loved love
48:38so she was right
48:39into the experiment
48:40wanted every single couple
48:42to get over the line
48:43I can get impatient
48:44whereas she was always hopeful
48:46and that was Mel
48:47you know
48:48she was very compassionate
48:50and so when she
48:51you know
48:52tragically passed
48:53you know
48:54there was so much
48:55love
48:56that came towards
48:59her
48:59and
49:00you know
49:02just an outpouring
49:02of
49:03just admiration
49:05for her
49:05she
49:06left a huge
49:08I guess
49:09legacy
49:10you know
49:11and I
49:11you know
49:12maths
49:13it's not going to be
49:14the same without her
49:14I feel like you guys
49:16are here to impart
49:16your knowledge
49:17on all the participants
49:18what's something
49:19that Mel taught you
49:20over your time together
49:22I think
49:23Mel taught me
49:24to
49:25be more
49:26compassionate
49:27and patient
49:29because you know
49:29sometimes
49:30the participants
49:31get under my skin
49:32and
49:34I can be very blunt
49:35with them
49:36yeah
49:37she
49:37had
49:38a lot of compassion
49:40which
49:40which I really adored
49:41and
49:43yeah
49:43I think
49:44she left
49:45a huge
49:46impact on me
49:48sounds like she was lucky
49:49to have you too
49:50John
49:50the outpouring of love
49:51for Mel
49:52since her passing
49:52is a testament
49:53to how much
49:54she was loved
49:55by everyone
49:55in many ways
49:57she was the heart
