00:00You are the Daily Mail.
00:02Hey, you're a puppet to you and then.
00:03Papa!
00:05You're not coming for my husband.
00:08Dinner is served.
00:10Welcome to MAPS.
00:11After the dinner party, I'm Jules, here with Laura and Brittany.
00:14And just when we thought things couldn't get any worse,
00:18cue the final dinner party.
00:19If you thought that was wild, just 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.
00:31And a guest that is here that we never thought we would see on this couch.
00:35Well, get ready because tonight the 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
00:49and he is armed with receipts that 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 that you don't want to miss.
00:57And then, drumroll please, pinch yourself because seven attempts later,
01:06Gia is finally in the building.
01:08Yeah.
01:09Yeah, you heard right.
01:10She is officially here.
01:11Well, actually, whether or not she makes it those 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.
01:23So, yeah, good luck to us, hey?
01:25Well, that dinner party had everything tonight.
01:27We've seen drama within the group before,
01:29but tonight couples cracked and one even fell apart for good.
01:33But amongst the chaos, one couple remained unshakable.
01:36And that's Stella and Phillip.
01:38Let's bring them out.
01:46Here we are.
01:47Hello.
01:48Hey.
01:49Welcome to the couch.
01:51Thanks for having us.
01:53Welcome back.
01:54Do you know what?
01:54You guys are the shining beacon of light in 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 because 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,
02:16but this dinner party that's just happened was pretty intense.
02:20And 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,
02:25and you really kind of called people into line.
02:27Why do you feel in this instance that you had to speak up?
02:31We always had something to say, but 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.
02:39You know, everyone just called to shush for me.
02:41So I'm like, you know, whatever.
02:42One thing we saw tonight, which I absolutely loved,
02:44is when you put your foot in it and you said,
02:45Danny, congratulations.
02:48Was that the most awkward thing ever?
02:50You're in love.
02:51You told Becky you're in love.
02:52And then she goes, what was so hilarious?
02:55So what was going on?
02:57You know, when you see and hear things
02:58and they're just like, in which world it matches?
03:02And instead of having rumours going back and forth,
03:05I'm always like, just have a chat about it.
03:07Well, about that falling in love comment,
03:09we have some unseen footage of what both Bec and Danny
03:13were saying at the dinner party
03:14that didn't quite make the cut.
03:16So we're going to have a little...
03:17Oh, my God.
03:17Cue the popcorn.
03:18Let's go.
03:19Let's go.
03:21Since that commitment ceremony,
03:23he has stepped up, it's changed.
03:24Because after that commitment ceremony,
03:26I've run away for a little while.
03:29And I'm coming back into the conversation.
03:30I just said to him, I don't know if I can do this.
03:33He begged me.
03:34He begged me.
03:35He told me he's falling in love with me.
03:36That's so nice.
03:39That's so nice.
03:40He said it twice now.
03:41In two days.
03:43Wow.
03:44Well, there you go.
03:45That's progress.
03:46All I asked, all I wanted,
03:47was him to drop his guard down.
03:49He let me in.
03:50And, you know, so, yeah.
03:53Okay.
03:53I'm just really glad that we've kind of been
03:55pretty open and honest throughout
03:56the 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 it?
04:06Oh, he's a tripper.
04:09We had a...
04:10We had a promise.
04:11We're on a both party.
04:12I think my feelings are in the freeze.
04:13You're the best man.
04:14Yeah.
04:15I know girls get silly.
04:17So...
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 Bec?
04:29Yeah, like, I think he did.
04:30Like, yeah, 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 and the strength of it?
04:38I...
04:38Yeah.
04:40Danny tried to fall in love with Bec.
04:43It's just every time there was something,
04:45you know, Bec was being back.
04:47Yeah, for sure.
04:48And it was just like, whoa.
04:49And it's just...
04:50They almost had to...
04:51Two steps forward, three steps back.
04:52That's exactly what I was going to say.
04:53Bec ass that Danny's, like, two days out from the ceremony
04:56and he's saying, my feelings are increasing.
04:58Like, that's what he said he said, verbatim.
05:00Like, he...
05:01Salesman, it's so...
05:02Yeah, exactly.
05:03What's it been like watching it back?
05:04Because it's one thing to live it
05:06and it's another thing to sit back on your couch at home
05:07and watch it.
05:08Because you make so many discoveries about other couples.
05:11What's it been like watching Scott and 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, he was always trying to just meet Gia
05:25on, you know, on 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, like, blindly, you know?
05:32But, yeah.
05:32I do think, though, that if he was honest about it,
05:35the relationship would have unravelled a lot faster.
05:37Absolutely.
05:38And so, like, not speaking up
05:39is what allowed it to get to this point so far in the experiment.
05:42He protected her so much.
05:44Well, the cracks started to show for Scott and Gia
05:46the last couple of weeks.
05:47We've seen that.
05:48But tonight we saw it absolutely implode.
05:50The relationship is very obviously completely done and dusted.
05:54I was holding on for dear life the whole time.
05:56I think Australia was like, are they going to make it?
05:58I thought he was going to go back for a second again.
06:00I know.
06:01Everyone was yelling at the screen, Scott, no!
06:03Yes, yes.
06:04Well, Scott's here tonight, so let's get him out.
06:06Yes!
06:15Hey!
06:16Hey!
06:16Hey!
06:19What a bro, man!
06:21Hello.
06:22How are you?
06:24I'm good.
06:24I'm good.
06:25Come, get in the sandwich.
06:26Hey, Scott.
06:27Hello, guys.
06:28Welcome.
06:29We're air hug.
06:30I've got my family here.
06:31Yes.
06:31I mean, the whole country wants to hug you.
06:34Team Scott.
06:35I think everyone was just hearts broken for you.
06:37And, like, we've obviously known that there have been cracks for a while.
06:41But seeing how the dinner party played out, it was...
06:45That was really, really emotional.
06:46How does it feel for you now?
06:48Um, it feels good, obviously, to get some clarity, obviously.
06:52But at the same time, watching it brings up a bit of emotions.
06:54Absolutely.
06:55You said that you would come onto the couch, but you didn't want Gia on here with you.
06:59We're not doing that to you.
07:00But she is here.
07:01And she is watching the conversations that we're having.
07:04That's fine.
07:04Why didn't you want to sit on the couch and do it alongside her?
07:10Just, no matter what I do or say, she's going to try and make an excuse for it.
07:13So nothing will come good out of it.
07:14Like, I've moved past this now.
07:16I want to move on with my life.
07:17And having that energy next to me will make me feel like crap.
07:20So I don't need that.
07:21We never in a million years could have predicted that it would turn out exactly the way that it has
07:25turned out.
07:26Was it as bad as it looked or was it worse?
07:28Yeah, it was pretty bad.
07:29Like, every commitment ceremony, every dinner party, every time I got home, I'm out.
07:34I'm breaking up with you.
07:35Just repeat.
07:36And I don't know what it was.
07:37Like, watching it, I'm like, what was I doing?
07:38But at the same time, the emotional manipulation behind her, she's so good at it.
07:42It made me feel like she was always in the right.
07:43Before we dig into it too deep, we've got some footage of your final week on the show.
07:49Let's take a look.
07:49Love a good footage.
07:51I don't want you to be upset.
07:54Okay.
07:54What I'm going to talk about is feelings where I...
07:59Take a breath.
08:00I feel like I can't speak my voice when I'm concerned.
08:03It's a weakness of mine.
08:05This is your opportunity to ask yourself, is the grass greener on the other side?
08:12Wow, 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, but I'm in a good relationship right now.
08:19I just...
08:21I'm probably just going to go.
08:23Where are you going?
08:24Jill.
08:26Stop.
08:26I just want to go home.
08:28To see my child and my mum and get the fuck out of here and be out of this fake
08:31reality.
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, because I just wanted to finish with you and I didn't.
08:41Okay.
08:42All the best, Scott.
08:44I just don't think I deserve to get a phone call giving me an ultimatum to just leave this experiment.
08:49Oh, fuck's sake.
08:55I'm just speechless.
08:58Yo!
08:58Hey, what's happening, girls?
09:00Just looking for the beautiful Gia.
09:01You make a good amount of money.
09:02Enough.
09:03Because I only date men that pay for money.
09:05I kind of want to be like a trophy wife.
09:07I can wait another year for that.
09:09For what?
09:10I'm literally done in a week.
09:12That is disgusting.
09:15I just got fucked for three months.
09:18I just got fucked.
09:20She just used me.
09:23Jill was meant to go home to Melbourne when she left me.
09:28Turns out she wasn't even there.
09:29She was in Sydney the whole time saying that her daughter was upset, crying with her when
09:33all of it was a lie.
09:35She never even flew back to Melbourne.
09:42My heart just immediately dropped.
09:44I didn't want to look at her.
09:45I feel sick.
09:47Dear Scott, I came back tonight to not leave and to show you that I'm here to bare my soul,
09:52not for the cameras, but for you.
09:57It's my time to talk.
10:00I'm not sure what it is that you're looking for, Gia, but I can tell you you're not the
10:04one for me.
10:05We are a different calibre of people.
10:11I'm sorry, but I'm done.
10:12I'm fucking...
10:14I'm done.
10:16At the end of the day, it was a showmance.
10:20All he does is use me for my body.
10:22Come on.
10:23Stop.
10:23Stop right there.
10:23He'll have sex with me.
10:24Stop right there.
10:26Can you cut the shit?
10:26I thought, can you shush?
10:28You guys don't know everything.
10:33I can see you're getting upset.
10:35How do you feel watching yourself?
10:36That's okay.
10:37But in that such a vulnerable situation.
10:40You give up so much of your time for someone.
10:42It's not just TV.
10:44Yeah.
10:44I actually gave it a go.
10:46People may say it's fake.
10:47It's not.
10:48It's not.
10:48Like, that's why it's just three full months every day, 24-7, trying to make a relationship
10:54work, and then when you see things like that...
10:57Can I ask Scott?
10:59Because I know that there's been lots of conversations around it where you said, you know, that you
11:02weren't ready to tell Gia that you were in love with her.
11:05Your reaction was so big, and it was the reaction of someone who I would say was in love with
11:11someone.
11:11Like, do you look back on that and in the time think, I actually did love her?
11:16I think parts of it, but there's so many more things I need to see in a woman before
11:20I could say I love them.
11:21How did you feel when you were watching those things Gia said, like, I want someone that
11:26pays for everything.
11:27I want someone that does everything.
11:28I want to be a kept woman.
11:30Were those conversations she was having with you as well?
11:33Did you know that about her?
11:34No.
11:35Like, I did say at the start of the experiment, you know, I want to be a man to provide
11:37her,
11:37but not exactly in that sort of way, like, just as if she's a gold digger.
11:41Like, I didn't really want that.
11:42Can I ask how you feel genuinely about Gia's feelings towards you?
11:46Because it was a very tumultuous ride.
11:48Like, sometimes I thought, oh, she really feels this.
11:50I don't agree with a lot of things she's doing and saying, but I believed her connection and
11:54feelings for you were real.
11:55And then she would flip and do something where I thought, oh, hang on, did I get sucked into
11:59that?
11:59Did you feel it was real?
12:01At times, definitely.
12:02I don't think, you know, she was pretending.
12:04I think she genuinely was there, like, had her best interest at heart for me.
12:08But also, too, there was a bit of an act in terms of forcing me to tell her I love
12:11her.
12:12You know, look at her right now.
12:13She's already in love within a second.
12:16Like, yeah, I don't know.
12:18It's so...
12:19Sorry.
12:19No, no, no.
12:20There's just, like, such a massive wave because one day she's so close to me when we go out
12:26together and you feel that connection strong, but then the next minute she'll turn on me.
12:30What did you think tonight at the dinner party when she was emotive and then the moment
12:35you stormed off, she went on the attack very quickly?
12:39It just gives me more clarity.
12:41Yeah.
12:41That shows she doesn't love me.
12:43Look 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 was one of the most explosive scenes that I had seen on Married
12:51at First Sight.
12:52The scene in the bathroom where Bec and Jira conniving on, you know what you've got to
12:56do, Australia's watching, you've got to out-victim him and make sure you cry.
13:00Jia says, yes, I'll make sure I cry.
13:02I felt sick.
13:03Like, I just...
13:04I didn't know there's people like that out there.
13:06It's just showing the calculation.
13:08It's crazy, man.
13:09Shit's wild.
13:10Yeah, manipulation.
13:11Where I'm confused in the sense of, what, did she love me or is she trying to...
13:15The biggest thing was to out-victim him?
13:17Like, what?
13:18I don't excuse any of the behaviour.
13:19I think it's very clear that it was all horrible.
13:22But I do think that there was emotions and feelings there as well.
13:26Definitely.
13:26I don't think you can fabricate that.
13:27No, no, 100%.
13:28Scott, why did you write the letter?
13:30Why?
13:31Yeah.
13:32And it was...
13:32I needed to say something because I've been quiet.
13:35And I just...
13:36I had to have my ending.
13:38And the closure.
13:38Yeah.
13:38Like, I need my closure.
13:39No, it's fine.
13:40To let her know it's done.
13:41Yeah.
13:41That's it.
13:42Jia said that your relationship was a showmance.
13:45Was it?
13:45Was it real?
13:46It was definitely real.
13:48If she's saying it's a showmance, she said she loved me.
13:52I spent so many weekends with her.
13:54I took her daughter out for her birthday.
13:55She was on my show.
13:56I was FaceTiming her mum and her daughter.
13:58If I had these special family moments without cameras,
14:02is that showmance, is it?
14:03Come on.
14:04There is so much, obviously, going on behind closed doors
14:07that we don't get to see between you and Jia.
14:09Here's some behind-the-scenes audio of you talking to a producer
14:12right after the call with Jia,
14:14and it's where we really saw you open up.
14:19You know what it is?
14:21She's fucking hurt me too many times, this experiment.
14:24And I keep holding on, and I've been just too many times.
14:27Like, fuck, I've had some bombs on me,
14:29but none of you guys know, do I?
14:31At what?
14:32Oh, what she's done, said to me, and she won't.
14:35But, like, pretty much, I'm, like, the most useless
14:37motherfucker you can ever come across.
14:39Pretty much, I am.
14:40Like, crumbs, I'm not, like, if you're secure,
14:42I'm not a man, I'm a bitch.
14:43Everything, just everything, when she spoils.
14:46Everything she can think of
14:47is if I'm a fucking piece of shit.
14:49And then apologises and cries on my shoulder,
14:51because I know she has a man,
14:52and that's why I forgive her, because I know she has a man.
14:53She does it, she smiles,
14:55because I'm in love with her.
14:56So she reacts, she responds the wrong way.
14:59And then she even said on the couch,
15:00I say this because when I'm hurt,
15:02I'm going to make the other person feel like shit too.
15:04And that, she's done the whole experience.
15:08Pretty much of it.
15:10This will be her out of the world too.
15:12You can't, that's it, that's her.
15:15Oh man, I didn't even know I did a lot.
15:17Yeah.
15:18Scott.
15:18It's hard, hard to watch.
15:19Wow, that's a lot.
15:20Is that part of the reason that you didn't leave with Gia?
15:24Yeah.
15:25Like, we didn't know that.
15:27We didn't know that that was going on,
15:28or that you felt like that.
15:29I'm a personal guy.
15:30I keep things to myself.
15:31Gia was wanting to leave the experiment,
15:33but for a little while there,
15:34you were going to leave with her.
15:36What happened for you?
15:37So something in my gut said,
15:39do not leave, there's something you need to see.
15:41Yeah.
15:42And which is what?
15:43The video.
15:44What?
15:45That was it.
15:46Keeping her options open to someone.
15:47What was the absolute breaking point?
15:50Honestly, probably when I watched that video,
15:53and then just went down here from there real fast.
15:55I only date men with money,
15:57and you know, you can find me on mass after the show.
15:58I'm done in a week.
15:59If you have the audacity to do that on national television,
16:02I can only imagine what you're doing behind closed doors.
16:04Scott, have you spoken to Gia since,
16:06like, since you parted ways after the dinner party?
16:09Have you spoken?
16:10I was at home, and I get a phone call.
16:12Hey, I'm at the Gold Coast.
16:13Yeah.
16:14And...
16:15She moved there.
16:16She moved there...
16:17Yes!
16:17What?
16:17...with her trying to find herself?
16:19I didn't even know,
16:20and said, can we get a coffee?
16:21I'm like, what?
16:23I rejected her on it,
16:24and then she went off at me and said,
16:26I moved here for you, yadda yadda yadda.
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.
16:35So, do you think she loved you?
16:37Yeah!
16:38Must have.
16:39Yeah, she loved you.
16:40Scott, it did seem like the final test video
16:41was where you hit the point of no return.
16:44However, you weren't the only couple
16:46who faced hurdles during this task.
16:48Let's remind ourselves of what went down.
16:52Oh, no.
16:53What is going on here?
16:55Oh, my God!
16:56Oh, my God!
16:56Oh, my God!
16:57I feel like I'm going to pass out.
16:59None of us are here to cheat.
17:01We talk to the girls about our relationships
17:03and then just tell them about our wives
17:04and get some feedback.
17:05It's a business meeting.
17:07It's a business meeting.
17:08James?
17:09Can I borrow your face?
17:10I don't want to do this at all.
17:12Yeah, yeah.
17:13Instagram's greener.
17:15I'm in every relationship.
17:16I just feel like I'm with you right now.
17:17You know, it was lovely to meet you,
17:19but I don't feel like I can't engage.
17:21I'm going to just exit.
17:22Cheers.
17:26I actually don't care.
17:27Do you have any tattoos?
17:28I can't show you where, though.
17:29Do you want to drop your pants?
17:30Yeah.
17:31I'm here for my girl, Stella.
17:32I'm here.
17:34Sit down, Antoni.
17:35Put your hand up if you're circumcised.
17:38Oh, dear God.
17:39You are literally my perfect woman.
17:41In the real world, yes, I would date you.
17:44Do you make a good amount of money?
17:46You know.
17:46If I was single, yeah, I'd eat that up.
17:48She has met her husband now.
17:49She doesn't need to go back to him.
17:50She should come home with me.
17:51I'm done in a week.
17:52I'm literally done.
17:53Can I have that pen, please?
17:54You're getting his number.
17:56James, give it to me,
17:57and I'll give it to her when she needs it later on.
17:58She will.
18:03Oh.
18:05It's insane watching how differently
18:07the men and women handle that situation.
18:09Like, polar opposites.
18:11Do you think the women were flirting?
18:12Drop your pants.
18:13Everything they were saying,
18:15Alyssa, Beck, Gia,
18:18obviously, Rachel carried herself well,
18:19yourself, you know,
18:20if a couple of them were,
18:21but most of them.
18:22How was that experience
18:24described to you by Gia?
18:27Like, how she came home
18:29and said to me
18:30everything that a guy wanted to hear.
18:32This guy's all over me.
18:33I told him to get off me.
18:34Like, all 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.
18:41Well, Scott,
18:41it seems that Gia
18:42didn't tell you the full story.
18:43There are many twists and turns.
18:46So, James,
18:47Gia's alternate match
18:49is here to shed some light
18:50on the details
18:51that none of us knew about.
18:54No way.
18:55Oh, here we go.
19:04Hey!
19:05Hello.
19:06Oh, you can have her, bro.
19:08What?
19:08Oh, it's like that way.
19:11Hello.
19:11Well, this might be awkward.
19:14It's not awkward,
19:15because you can have her.
19:16You lived the experience.
19:18Yeah.
19:18You were there in the flesh.
19:19You've now watched it back.
19:21Yeah.
19:21I'm dying to hear your thoughts.
19:22Do you feel like
19:24the girls and Gia were flirting?
19:26Yeah, I was getting a vibe
19:26back from her, so...
19:27So what was the vibe
19:28you were getting back,
19:29that she's ready to mingle?
19:30She was flirtatious, yeah,
19:32straight 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 interaction
19:37with Gia,
19:38and you were leaving,
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?
19:43If it goes in,
19:44but I was going to follow up
19:45and follow through
19:46with my side,
19:47so I sent a message
19:48on Instagram,
19:49got a message back,
19:50saying,
19:50sorry, I'm happily married,
19:51and a photo of Scott
19:52with his top off
19:53with his finger up, so...
19:54You swapped details,
19:56and she said,
19:56I'm free in a week,
19:57so that must have been
19:58confusing to you as well,
19:59because you've gotten
20:00the sort of A-OK,
20:01and then she's like,
20:02back off.
20:03Of course,
20:03but look,
20:04it's like sales, right?
20:05And you get 10 notes
20:06before you get a yes,
20:07so you have to be persistent.
20:09I don't know.
20:10Did you continue
20:10with the persistence
20:11at that point?
20:12Yeah, I 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.
20:19So, OK.
20:21James,
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 1.20 p.m.,
20:36Gia left your final date
20:37to go back to the apartment
20:38and leave the experiment.
20:40Now,
20:4030 minutes later,
20:41at 1.55 p.m.,
20:43Gia rang you
20:44with an ultimatum.
20:45You either leave
20:46or it's done.
20:48James,
20:48according to your screenshots,
20:50Gia did call you
20:51three times that day.
20:52Now,
20:52you missed her call
20:53at 3.06 p.m.,
20:55but she calls you
20:55straight after that
20:56again at 3.07 p.m.
20:58This time,
20:59you do answer.
21:00Then at 3.19,
21:01she calls you
21:01for a third time
21:02and you speak
21:03on the phone
21:04again.
21:05Gia doesn't know
21:06this bloke.
21:06Yeah,
21:07you're not friends.
21:07Why is she calling
21:08him that many times
21:09straight after she leaves me?
21:10She needs someone else.
21:11She's already got
21:11another boyfriend,
21:12for God's sake.
21:13Look how quick this is.
21:14She needs something.
21:15Was the content
21:16of the call,
21:17even though it was brief,
21:18was it flirty banter?
21:20Not really.
21:20It was more anger
21:21of I'm leaving.
21:23I think she actually
21:24did mention Scott
21:25didn't want to leave
21:25with her,
21:27so I'm leaving,
21:28I'm going here,
21:28I'm doing this.
21:29She's called you
21:30multiple times.
21:31There would have been
21:31a conversation
21:32about something else.
21:33Really?
21:34Fuck yeah.
21:35You're not just
21:35calling up having a yarn.
21:37I've obviously said
21:37a good first impression.
21:39She wanted to ring me,
21:40so I can't help it
21:41if she rung me.
21:42James,
21:43you're the one
21:43who gave us
21:44those text messages.
21:45You're the one
21:45who gave us the receipts.
21:47Yeah.
21:47Gia 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
21:52bikini photos to anyone
21:53that I'm not flirty with.
21:54Oh, the text messages
21:54were flirty.
21:55Conversations afterwards
21:56were flirty.
21:57It weren't flirty immediately.
21:58That scene of Gia and Scott
22:00on the street
22:01having the breakdown
22:02in their relationship
22:03that was so public,
22:05she called you an hour
22:06after that.
22:06One hour.
22:07It's crazy.
22:10And then she came
22:10to the dinner party
22:11and tried to get Scott back
22:12and tried to rekindle
22:13that relationship.
22:14Oh, look,
22:16if it was my missus,
22:17I would be very upset.
22:20It's not behaviour
22:22I would tolerate or want.
22:23I didn't know
22:24that she was still
22:25in a relationship with Scott
22:26and I was still
22:26going through the process,
22:27so if I did,
22:28I wouldn't have carried on
22:29with the conversation.
22:30Scott, when you find out
22:31this type of information
22:33about something,
22:34it just shows the level of lies
22:35and it clearly still affects you.
22:37Because it's ridiculous.
22:39Like, I have never met someone
22:40so bad like this.
22:42It doesn't stop.
22:43I never knew this was going to happen.
22:44I didn't know he was going to come here.
22:45Didn't know she called him.
22:46I 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
22:55who's calling me showmance.
22:57Take a look at yourself.
22:58She will never take accountability
23:00for her own action
23:00because she thinks she's fine.
23:02Well, James, thank you, mate.
23:04You dropped some pretty
23:04explosive receipts there.
23:06Can't wait to see
23:07what Gia has to say.
23:08Philip and Stella,
23:10excited for your final vows.
23:12And Scotty, good luck, buddy.
23:14It's been pretty hard
23:15watching your journey,
23:16but we hope you find someone
23:18you can be your best self with.
23:20OK, 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
23:25here on this very couch.
23:27Scott's had his time
23:28on the couch over and over,
23:30getting his voice out there,
23:31but I've got a lot to say,
23:32so I think it's my turn
23:33to 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.
23:43And honestly,
23:44out 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
23:47to answer to.
23:48And I mean,
23:49I for one think
23:50it's quite puzzling.
23:50She has been watching
23:52Scott's interview
23:53as it played out.
23:54I hear that she's
23:55pretty 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,
23:59that's all we've seen
24:00the whole show, right?
24:01That's something different.
24:02All right, well, look,
24:03let's not waste any time,
24:04not another second.
24:05Let's bring Gia out.
24:20Hi.
24:21Hi.
24:21I'm here.
24:23You're here.
24:24I'm here.
24:25You made it.
24:26It's like meeting Santa.
24:28I know.
24:29Santa's real.
24:30So, Gia,
24:30we know you've been watching.
24:31Why have you decided
24:32to come on now?
24:34You know,
24:34you guys have spoken
24:35about me every 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 the music, really.
24:45Okay.
24:45So when you say accountability,
24:47you've just watched
24:48that conversation with Scott.
24:50Yeah.
24:51How 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,
24:59he was falling for me.
25:00Like,
25:00I was self-sabotaging
25:01and running away
25:02and I'd maybe missed that.
25:04And so I'm like,
25:05I want him to know
25:05that it was real for me as well.
25:07It was real.
25:07I do believe
25:08that there were feelings there.
25:09Like,
25:09I see those moments.
25:11But 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
25:22berate him a lot
25:23behind closed doors.
25:24I don't think it was
25:25to the degree
25:25that 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,
25:34you know,
25:35made me feel a certain way.
25:36But I haven't spoken
25:37on any of that
25:37and I don't really want
25:38to shit 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,
25:47well,
25:47he did things
25:48but I don't want
25:48to tell you what it was.
25:49Can we pull up
25:50some Mike moments
25:51of Scott
25:51where he was talking
25:52about the other women
25:53of the experiment
25:54and telling me
25:54that he hates my hair curly
25:56and he doesn't want
25:56my hair up
25:57and that I look a bit fat?
25:58Can we show any of that?
26:00He 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,
26:11I didn't want to make him
26:12look bad
26:12because you said
26:13probably the worst thing
26:14that you could say
26:14about a guy
26:15which was that they
26:15used you for sex.
26:17Right.
26:17So you did go there.
26:19So if he had said
26:20those things
26:20why didn't you
26:21bring them up there?
26:22So I didn't want to.
26:22I just didn't want to.
26:23I felt like he already
26:24was so mad
26:25about so many other things.
26:26He wasn't falling
26:27in love with me.
26:27I'm like I'm not
26:28going to throw
26:28more shit on 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
26:35that's not speaking
26:35well about him.
26:37Yep.
26:38Like it just doesn't
26:39make 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, yeah
26:47I mean it doesn't
26:48make sense.
26:48I wish you could
26:49see more
26:50but you couldn't.
26:51I mean I don't know
26:51I don't know
26:52what else to say.
26:52I guess what we're
26:53trying to ascertain
26:54is when you're saying
26:55like you know
26:55why don't you
26:56show those videos
26:57we actually don't
26:58have them.
26:59They do not exist
27:00to us.
27:00So are you
27:01potentially
27:03trying to find
27:04things to justify
27:05the behaviour
27:06that we've seen?
27:07No.
27:08If there's no
27:08footage of it
27:09there's no footage
27:09of it.
27:10I don't know
27:10what else I can say.
27:11Do you feel
27:11as though we're
27:12not seeing
27:12the real Scott
27:13then?
27:14I think you're
27:15seeing the real Scott
27:16I just think
27:16there's some moments
27:17that I wish
27:19was shown more
27:20like I don't know
27:21how else to put it
27:22like.
27:22Talk to us about
27:23though that
27:24moving like
27:25got your daughter
27:26you moved to
27:26the Gold Coast
27:27you moved within
27:28a very close
27:29proximity to
27:29where Scott
27:30was.
27:30What was your
27:31intention?
27:31Like 30 minutes
27:32from Scott
27:32the Gold Coast
27:33is small
27:34throughout the
27:35experiment I
27:36told my daughter
27:36we'd move back
27:37to the Gold Coast
27:37her dad lives
27:38on the Gold Coast
27:39and then yeah
27:40it was just too
27:41hard.
27:41I relied on my
27:42mum and my
27:42family too much
27:43and they're like
27:44you need to be
27:44in Melbourne
27:44so we can help
27:45you.
27:46That's fair
27:46and I get that
27:47but at that time
27:48did you also try
27:50and rekindle things
27:50with Scott?
27:51I definitely did
27:51yeah 100%
27:52but then you

27:58doors and
27:58the extra
27:58footage
27:59pull it up
28:00if he was so
28:01bad why did
28:02you want to
28:02go and rekindle?
28:03I'm not saying

28:05person I don't
28:06think he was
28:08horrible I still
28:08wanted to be with
28:09him I was still
28:09in love with him
28:11but yeah I mean
28:12he said a couple
28:13things here and
28:13there that were
28:14bad I don't
28:14think he was as
28:15bad as me I'm
28:15not saying that

28:25what was the
28:25purpose of you

28:30production wanted
28:31me to come back
28:31for the dinner
28:31party to confront
28:32Scott.
28:33Did you want to
28:33come back?
28:34No.
28:35You didn't want
28:36to come back
28:36at all?
28:37How does
28:37production make
28:38you come back
28:39if you don't
28:39want to?
28:40It's not make
28:41me it's the
28:42only opportunity
28:42I could see
28:43Scott though
28:43I'd reached
28:44out called
28:45texted didn't
28:45hear anything
28:46from Scott
28:46basically I
28:47thought I
28:47don't know
28:48what else to
28:48do I'm
28:48still in
28:49Sydney the
28:49dinner party's
28:49tomorrow night
28:50I'm like
28:50fuck it
28:51I'll go to
28:51the dinner
28:51party.
28:52You just
28:52said to us
28:52the production
28:53made you
28:54was that
28:54bullshit
28:54just then?
28:55I'm trying
28:56to talk
28:56away
28:58around it.
28:59I'm genuinely
28:59trying to
29:00understand this
29:00so production
29:02took you to
29:03the airport
29:03they booked
29:04you a flight
29:05they took
29:06you to the
29:06airport
29:06you got
29:07dropped off
29:07they sent
29:08you off to
29:09Melbourne
29:09you got
29:10your bags
29:10off that
29:11flight
29:11you stayed
29:12in Sydney
29:13you didn't
29:15go home and
29:15see your
29:15daughter who
29:16you said
29:16that was the
29:16reason why
29:17you wanted
29:17to go home
29:18but now
29:18you're saying
29:19production made
29:19you go to
29:20the final dinner
29:20party
29:21production doesn't
29:22sound like they
29:22made you do
29:22any of that
29:23no they thought
29:24I was going to
29:24be in Melbourne
29:25obviously then I
29:25turned around and
29:26stayed in Sydney
29:27so then how did
29:28they make you go to
29:29the final dinner
29:30party?
29:30because they knew I
29:30was in Sydney
29:30because I went to
29:31the apartment
29:31so regardless
29:33you're in a car
29:35you're going to the
29:36dinner party
29:38why?
29:39to confront Scott
29:40and I wanted
29:41another chance
29:42confront him
29:43or get another
29:44chance
29:44because they're
29:45two different
29:45things
29:45I either wanted
29:46closure or another
29:47chance
29:47I didn't know
29:48how it was going
29:48to pan out
29:49because you know
29:50I had Beck
29:50telling me
29:51oh he's at the
29:52gym with Danny
29:53and you know
29:53there's probably
29:54a shot there
29:54and so I'm
29:55thinking okay
29:55I'm going to
29:55write a letter
29:56I'm going to
29:56do this
29:56so if you had
29:57one
29:58I mean
29:58your wish
29:59you could have
30:00had that pan
30:00out any way
30:01you want
30:01was it to get
30:02back with him
30:02yep
30:03100%
30:04at that time
30:05talk me through
30:06the scene
30:06that we saw
30:07in the bathroom
30:08where you are
30:09talking to Beck
30:10and you obviously
30:10think you're off
30:11camera
30:11but you're very
30:12much mic'd up
30:13and you have
30:14a game plan
30:15of out victiming
30:16Scott
30:16you have to
30:17out victim him
30:18you have to
30:18make yourself
30:19seem like
30:20you're more
30:21hurt than he is
30:22anyone who was
30:23there would know
30:24I was
30:24I mean
30:25I wish you
30:26would play some
30:27footage of that
30:27of how I was
30:29but anyway
30:29but someone who's
30:30a victim
30:30doesn't have to
30:31out victim someone
30:32you never have
30:32to say that
30:33you don't have
30:33to hey can you
30:34cry
30:34can you do this
30:35there was a
30:36strategy to it
30:37Beck was telling
30:37me that I should
30:38and it wasn't
30:39in the way of
30:40like be a victim
30:41to make the
30:42group like you
30:43it was like
30:43be a victim
30:43so that he
30:44would see that
30:45but it also said
30:46be a victim
30:46so Australia
30:47I mean Australia
30:48was put in there
30:48as well
30:49look I think
30:50in that situation
30:51you were both
30:51as bad as each
30:52other but Beck
30:52literally said
30:53the best thing
30:54you can do
30:54is also cry
30:55and you said
30:55oh babe don't
30:56worry I'll be
30:57crying
30:57well I was going
30:57to cry
30:58I was crying
30:58all day
30:58but that's not
30:59how it came
31:00across
31:00it came across
31:01as a conversation
31:01that was very
31:02manipulative
31:03like okay
31:05shit
31:05they know
31:06that I lied
31:07about it
31:07what am I going
31:08to do here
31:08I'm going to
31:09have to outplay
31:09him
31:09you know the
31:10conversation was
31:10even right now
31:12everyone is poor
31:12Scott we need
31:13to turn that
31:14to poor Gia

31:18lost the love
31:18of their life

31:20perception

34:55go to the airport
34:56yeah
34:56I rang him
34:59on 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 going to leave with me
35:05he's not leaving with me
35:06like what do I do
35:07I asked him literally as a
35:08like a male friend
35:10but why James
35:10you don't know him
35:11because he was giving me good advice
35:12it just doesn't check out that
35:14you have had this
35:15break up with someone
35:16that you love
35:17you actually wanted him to chase you
35:19yeah
35:19then you call this random stranger
35:21you met the day before
35:22that was there to be set up with you
35:23that you flirted with
35:23and said I'll be available in 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 under the bus
35:33yeah
35:33and then storm out
35:34and then rekindle it with
35:37James
35:37make it make sense
35:38I was like
35:40fuck it
35:40I wanted to feel wanted
35:42I was so rejected by Scott
35:43you have no idea
35:44I was begging him
35:45no no but that's
35:47I was begging him
35:48like it's actually fucked
35:49I was begging him
35:51to just even sleep with me
35:52I needed something from him
35:53and I wasn't getting anything
35:54like I wasn't
35:55like
35:55and 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
36:07past 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 it's because
36:20you were really 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
36:30yeah
36:31it's just
36:31I don't want to excuse any of this
36:33like I'm taking on what you guys
36:34are saying
36:35but like you know
36:36there's always more to a story
36:38like
36:38there's reasons
36:39I didn't just wake up
36:40and decide to
36:41act like this
36:43I do think
36:44that you guys
36:44got into an extremely
36:46toxic cycle
36:47and I don't think
36:49you had big feelings
36:51for 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
36:57that'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
37:08we 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
37:22you 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
37:33I'm glad you guys
37:34have pushed me to this
37:36because it's made 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
37:57why 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
38:15I 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
38:22okay she's just had a moment
38:23she'll move past it
38:24but we were three months in
38:26and you just never
38:27moved past it
38:27yeah
38:28when you watch this back
38:29how do you feel
38:31because you were like that
38:32to the very end
38:33I literally can't watch it
38:35it'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
38:49acting 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
38:59yeah I mean
39:00it's embarrassing
39:02I don't know what else to say
39:03like I'm humiliated
39:04I don't think I 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 of a good person
39:13I'm not just a horrible person
39:14every single day of my life
39:16I wish
39:16more of the good was shown
39:17but
39:18you know
39:19it is what it is
39:19all I can do is grow from
39:20the show
39:21I do have another little bone to pick
39:24I really love this show
39:25as an audience member
39:26and you

39:28with the spoilers

39:54we were so worried
39:55every week
39:56that it was going to be leaked
39:57cut the shit
39:57the reason you did it
39:58is because you had a guy that you loved on TV
40:02who was having second thoughts about you
40:05because you'd just been creating so much drama
40:07and you felt vulnerable
40:09and so you tried to get ahead of it
40:11no
40:12by saying hey
40:12I've got someone better
40:14no
40:14and you optically wanted to look like you had already moved on
40:18no
40:18and this
40:19this really
40:19this really pisses me off
40:21how people are going on about it being a PR thing
40:23of course
40:24no I just
40:25am in love with my boyfriend
40:26and I was like
40:26fuck it

40:27I don't want to keep pretending I'm with Scott
40:29that was literally it
40:30so you did leak it
40:30you just admitted it
40:31yeah
40:31well

40:59I hope he finds happiness
41:00I
41:00he's got a beautiful heart
41:02and he'll make someone really happy
41:03one day
41:04well beyond Scott
41:05your relationship with Bec
41:06was really what defined your time in 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 in some way
41:20when we were going through shit with our relationship
41:21all we've seen
41:22is truly how horrible the two of you have been to each other
41:25yeah
41:26so surely when the cameras aren't rolling
41:27even if you have to be in the same room as each other
41:29even if you do catch up with other people
41:31surely that hatred is still there
41:33or that dislike for each other is 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
41:39we were hanging out a little bit off camera
41:42and so I didn't know
41:43half the time before friends
41:44or if we weren't friends or 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?
41:53did you trust her?
41:54nah
41:55I mean you did put your trust in Bec at the dinner party
41:58and it backfired explosively
42:00yeah
42:00but that might not have been the case for Bec
42:03so I want you to take a look at this unseen footage
42:05that she gave after the dinner party
42:09everyone was like
42:09why are you friends with her?
42:10why are you friends with her?
42:11what are you doing?
42:12my husband was like
42:12what's going on?
42:13she's not your friend
42:14she's not your friend
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 that was going to get her here
42:24was the only friend she had
42:26was me
42:27oh
42:28oh
42:29oh
42:29oh my god
42:30yeah she fucked me over
42:31and now you look like dicks
42:32I see her
42:35oh my god I feel sick
42:36whoa
42:37what
42:38what
42:39what
42:39what
42:39what
42:39what
42:39what
42:40what
42:40what
42:40what
42:41what
42:41what
42:41what
42:41what
42:43what
42:43what
42:43who would have thought
42:44and framing them
42:45and selling them
42:47jeez
42:48it's all been
42:48oh
42:49rainbows and lollipops
42:50the whole time
42:51and then you run away
42:52no no no
42:53you come back and show
42:54what your relationship really was
42:55because I've worked on my relationship
42:57you've worked on your relationship
42:58but you've come for mine
42:59you've come for yours
43:01you'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 was me
43:06mic drop
43:09mic drop
43:11bitch
43:13that's how we started that's how we're gonna end isn't it
43:18oh yeah that's so savage how do you feel watching that
43:24well i feel like an idiot
43:31i genuinely thought she was my friend at that point that's fucked
43:34it is like i wish i didn't like outside of the show i continue to try and be a friend
43:39she was
43:39at my birthday like you guys know that that's fucked that's fucked but in that moment you
43:45believed that you were friends yeah at that point in time i did yeah you still said you didn't trust
43:51her as well was it yeah it didn't i didn't fully trust her but you know we had so many
43:55conversations
43:57off camera with with the whole scott thing like she acted like she had my back and was telling me
44:02it would be a good thing to write the letter and that it would work and that i'd get through
44:05to
44:05him i really believed it would at that time and but did you really believe beck though you might
44:10have believed that you could have gotten through to scott yeah surely surely of all of the things
44:15that she was doing and saying and the way the drama was unfolding like oh that is so fucked like
44:20i don't
44:20understand how you could get to the end of this experiment and think you know who whose advice
44:25i'm gonna trust bex that's the person who i'm going to put my trust and confidence in like it
44:31doesn't make sense i don't know i don't know what i was thinking scott and i would have so many
44:35conversations where he'd be like i'm trying to protect you she's not your friend she's not this
44:38and i'm like oh stop telling me what to do stop telling me who to be friends with and i'm
44:42like oh
44:42my god i'm like he knew this all along again because i wasn't focused on my relationship and scott
44:48i wasn't able to take that on board i was focused on all the other girls in the drama
44:52look i think that the biggest thing to take home and take away from this is like it is a
44:56very good
44:57thing that you and beck are not still yeah in this frenemies friendship because that behavior
45:03is so deeply toxic but you were also very much in self-sabotage mode like i think and it's one
45:09thing i know you've admitted it you can see that in yourself and i think that's something that you
45:14i didn't think i would say this but i do think you should be proud of that when you look
45:17back on it
45:18and you go oh i recognize what i was doing now like i was self self-sabotaging and you've done
45:22it
45:23with every single relationship you've had in the show gia in your audition you said you love drama
45:29you certainly brought it you brought it and got plenty of it but secondly you're still very young
45:36you've got a whole life ahead of you and this has given you some phenomenal life lessons it's made
45:41you more aware of some of your blind spots you've shared them with us today and lo and behold at
45:46the
45:47end you said i do not trust beck and all along i should have trusted scott yeah and that is
45:52a pretty
45:53amazing bit of discovery so was it as bad as you thought sitting with us
45:59no i appreciate you guys and i appreciate the feedback and it's actually helpful i think moving
46:04forward now i can recognize more and seeing that i need to work on who i can trust and stop
46:10trying to
46:10look for drama and look for problems like there wasn't any problems with scott i was looking for them
46:14but just to reiterate what jules just said it's never too late to start fresh to realize that
46:19you've learned things to put them into play be a better person be a different person and be the
46:22person that you want your daughter to see as well yeah and thank you for coming on and taking that
46:27accountability and look we know that you are in a new relationship and we genuinely we mean it we do
46:32hope that you get everything out of this relationship that you have always wanted and take the lessons from
46:37this whole thing and are able to implement them in your new relationship yep yep trying to thank you so
46:42much
46:43well we're entering the final phase of the experiment final vows and if this doesn't bring a tear to
46:48your eye well nothing's ever going to i came into this experiment looking for love i definitely found
46:56what i've come here for here we go
47:05i know this might be hard to hear
47:24it's been a devastating time for the maffs family after losing mel shilling who fought so bravely against cancer
47:31for over a decade she sat next to her colleague and more importantly her friend john aiken as they
47:38both guided couples through the joys and the struggles of finding love to honor mel and her memory
47:43john is here tonight john welcome back how you going uh well i won't i won't lie it's been a
47:51very
47:51very difficult time i mean she's been incredibly important to the show you know she's she was the heart
47:59of the whole thing uh of the whole thing what did this family mean to her well i mean she
48:04she was there
48:05with me from series two and so she saw it grow into this juggernaut and uh we didn't really know
48:14how
48:14to deal with it mel and i when it when it started to explode other than to lean on one
48:19another um and
48:20it became our lives really and every time i would come in to see her she'd squeal jump up and
48:26come over
48:26and give me a tight hug and give me a tight hug and we would dance uh we would um
48:32crack jokes uh and
48:34we'd have a lot of fun um she loved love so she was right into the experiment wanted every single
48:42couple to get over the line i can get impatient whereas she was always hopeful and and that was mel
48:47you
48:47know she was very compassionate uh and so when she you know tragically passed you know there was so
48:55much uh love that came towards uh her and uh you know just an outpouring of of just admiration for
49:05her
49:05she left a huge um i guess legacy you know and and i you know mass it's not going to
49:14be the same
