00:00You are the Daily Mail.
00:02Hey, you're Papa Q and N.
00:03But you'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.
00:15And just when we thought things couldn't get any worse,
00:18cue the final dinner party.
00:20If 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.
00:50And he is armed with receipts that are absolutely going to blow your socks off.
00:53Stella and Phillip are going to join us to spill all the behind-the-scenes gossip
00:56that you don't want to miss.
00:58Then, drum roll please.
01:00Pinch yourself!
01:02Because seven attempts later, Gia is finally in the building!
01:08Yeah.
01:09Yeah, you heard right.
01:10Gia's officially here.
01:12Well, 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 they are!
01:47Hello!
01:48Hey!
01:49Welcome to the couch.
01:51Thank you for having us.
01:52Thanks for having us.
01:53Welcome back.
01:54Shall we?
01:54You guys are the shiny 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,
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.
02:16But this dinner party that's just happened
02:18was 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,
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 called to shush for me.
02:41So, 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,
02:46Danny, congratulations.
02:48Was that the most awkward thing ever?
02:50You told Bec you're in love,
02:52and then she goes,
02:54what was so...
02:55That was hilarious.
02:55What?
02:56So 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,
03:02and instead of having rumors 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 Danny 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,
03:30I went to a conversation,
03:30and I 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 was falling in love with me.
03:36That's so nice, baby.
03:38Yeah.
03:39That's so nice.
03:40He said it twice now.
03:41In two days.
03:43Wow.
03:43Tomorrow?
03:44So...
03:44Well, there you go.
03:45That's...
03:46All I asked,
03:46all I wanted was him to drop his guard down.
03:49Let me in.
03:51And, you know,
03:52so, yeah.
03:53Okay.
03:54I'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.
04:01He came in.
04:03I thought there was someone coming in.
04:05Did you say it?
04:06Oh, he's a tripper.
04:08We had a...
04:10We had a conversation.
04:11We're on a boat party.
04:12I think I've been in a...
04:12I'm in a freeze.
04:13You're on a boat party.
04:14Yeah.
04:15Because when little girls talk,
04:16it gets, you know.
04:19Hey, you should see us.
04:20No, not like that.
04:21No, I'm saying, like,
04:22let's get out.
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, like, I think he did.
04:30Yeah.
04:30Like, yeah, I think he did.
04:32And 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?
04:38I...
04:38Yeah.
04:40Danny tried to fall in love with Beck.
04:43It's just every time there was something,
04:45you know, Beck 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,
04:52three steps back.
04:53Yeah, that's exactly what I was going to say.
04:53Big ass that Danny's, like,
04:55two days out from the ceremony
04:56and he's saying,
04:57my feelings are increasing.
04:58Like, that's what he said he said,
05:00verbatim.
05:00Like, he...
05:01It's Elzman and stuff!
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
05:06to sit back on your couch at home
05:07and watch it
05:08because you make so many discoveries
05:10about other couples.
05:11What's it been like
05:12watching Scott and Gia's relationship back?
05:14Look, I didn't know the...
05:16Kind of the mental ringer
05:18Scotty was getting put around.
05:20Like, he was just...
05:20The goalposts were always getting moved
05:22and, you know,
05:23he was always trying to just
05:24meet Gia on, you know,
05:26on her terms
05:26with absolutely everything
05:28and we didn't know
05:28it was that chaotic.
05:29I feel so bad for Scotty
05:30and he just always wanted
05:31to believe, like, blindly,
05:32you know, but yeah.
05:32I do think, though,
05:33that if he was honest about it,
05:35the relationship
05:36would have unravelled
05:37a lot faster.
05:37Absolutely.
05:38And so, like,
05:38not speaking up
05:39is what allowed it
05:40to get to this point
05:41so far in 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
05:55the whole time.
05:56I think Australia was like,
05:57are they going to make it?
05:58I thought he was going
05:59to go back for a second again.
06:00I know,
06:01everyone was yelling
06:01at the screen,
06:02Scott, no!
06:03Yes, yes.
06:04Well, Scott's here tonight
06:05so let's get him out.
06:06Yes!
06:15Hey!
06:16Hello.
06:17Hello.
06:19What a romance.
06:21How are you?
06:22Hello, how are you?
06:24I'm good.
06:24How are you?
06:25I'm good.
06:25Come, get in the sandwich.
06:26Hey, Scott.
06:27Hello.
06:28Welcome.
06:29I've got my family here.
06:31I mean, the whole country
06:32wants to hug you.
06:34Team Scott,
06:35I think everyone
06:36was just hearts broken
06:37for you and like
06:38we'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,
06:45really emotional.
06:46How does it feel
06:47for you now?
06:49It feels good obviously
06:50to get some clarity
06:51obviously
06:51but at the same time
06:53watching it
06:53it brings up
06:54a bit of emotions.
06:55Absolutely.
06:55You said that you
06:56would come onto the couch
06:57but you didn't want
06:58Gia on 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
07:07alongside 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
07:16this now,
07:16I want to move on
07:17with my life
07:17and having that energy
07:18next to me
07:19will make me feel
07:19like 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
07:27as it looked
07:27or was it worse?
07:28Yeah, it was pretty bad.
07:29Like every commitment
07:30ceremony,
07:31every dinner party,
07:31every time I got home,
07:33I'm out.
07:34I'm breaking up with you.
07:35Just repeat.
07:36And 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
07:40the 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 too deep
07:45we've got some footage
07:47of your final week
07:48on the show.
07:49Let's take a look.
07:50Love a good footage.
07:51I don't want you
07:52to be upset.
07:54Okay.
07:55What I'm going to talk about
07:56is feelings
07:57where
07:59I
07:59Take a breath.
08:00I feel like
08:01I can't speak my voice
08:02when I'm ever concerned
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?
08:12Wow, 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
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.
08:27I 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
08:39to finish with you
08:40and I didn't.
08:41Okay.
08:42All the best Scott.
08:44I just don't think
08:45I deserve to 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?
09:00I'm just looking
09:00for the beautiful Gia.
09:01You make a good amount
09:02of money.
09:02Enough.
09:03Because I only date men
09:04that pay for money.
09:05I kind of want to be
09:07like a trophy wife.
09:08I can wait another year.
09:09For what?
09:10I'm literally done in a week.
09:11That's good.
09:12That is disgusting.
09:15I just got fucked
09:17for three months.
09:18I just got fucked.
09:20She just used me.
09:24Gia was meant to go home
09:25to Melbourne
09:25when she left me.
09:28Turns 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 alive.
09:35She never even flew
09:36back to Melbourne.
09:42My heart just
09:43immediately dropped.
09:44I didn't want to look at her.
09:45I feel sick.
09:47Dear Scott,
09:47I came back tonight
09:48to not leave
09:49and to show you
09:49that I'm here
09:51to 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, Gia,
10:03but I can tell you
10:03you're not the one for me.
10:05We are a different calibre
10:09of people.
10:11Sorry, but I'm done.
10:12I'm fucking home.
10:13Scott!
10:14I'm done.
10:16At the end of the day,
10:17it was a showmance.
10:20All he does
10:21is use me for my body.
10:22Come on.
10:23Stop.
10:23He'll have sex with me.
10:24Stop right there.
10:26Can you cut the shit?
10:27My God, can you shush?
10:28You guys don't know everything.
10:33I can see you're getting upset.
10:35How do you feel
10:35watching yourself
10:36in that such a vulnerable situation?
10:40You give up
10:41so much of your time
10:41for someone.
10:42It's not just TV.
10:44I actually gave it a go.
10:46People may say it's fake.
10:47It's not.
10:48That's why
10:49it's just
10:50three full months
10:52every day,
10:5324-7,
10:53trying to make
10:54a relationship work.
10:55And then when you see
10:56things like that...
10:58Can I ask Scott?
10:59Because I know
11:00that there's been
11:00lots of conversations
11:01around it where you said
11:02that you weren't ready
11:03to tell Gia
11:04that you were in love
11:04with 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
11:12on that and in the time
11:12think,
11:13I actually did love her?
11:16I think parts of it,
11:17but there's so many
11:18more things I need
11:19to 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,
11:26I want someone
11:26that pays for everything,
11:27I want someone
11:28that does everything,
11:28I want to be a kept woman.
11:31Were those conversations
11:32she was having
11:32with you as well?
11:33Did you know that
11:33about her?
11:34No,
11:35like 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 just as if
11:40she's a gold digger.
11:41Like I didn't really
11:42want that.
11:43Can I ask how you
11:43feel genuinely
11:44about Gia's feelings
11:45towards you?
11:46Because it was
11:46a very tumultuous ride.
11:48Like sometimes I thought
11:49oh she really feels this.
11:50I don't agree
11:51with a lot of things
11:51she's doing and saying
11:52but I believed
11:53her connection
11:54and feelings for you
11:55were real
11:55and then she would
11:56flip and do something
11:57where I thought
11:57oh hang on
11:58did I get sucked into that?
12:00Did you feel
12:00it was real?
12:01At times definitely
12:02I don't think
12:03you know
12:03she was pretending
12:04I think she genuinely
12:05was 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
12:12you know
12:12look at her right now
12:13she's already in love
12:14within a second.
12:16Like
12:16I don't know
12:18it's so sorry
12:19no no no
12:20it's just like
12:22such a massive wave
12:23because one day
12:24she's so close to me
12:25when we go out together
12:26and you feel
12:27that connection strong
12:28but then the next minute
12:29she'll turn on me.
12:30What did you think
12:31tonight at 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
12:40more clarity.
12:41Yeah.
12:41That show she doesn't love me
12:42look at her body language
12:44look at Bec
12:45look at her
12:45winking at her
12:46look at the game plan
12:46they made.
12:47Like that scene for me
12:48was one of the most
12:49explosive scenes
12:50that I had seen
12:51on Married at First Sight
12:52the scene in the bathroom
12:53where Bec and Jira
12:55conniving on
12:56you 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
13:00Jia says
13:01yes I'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
13:06showing the calculation
13:08it's crazy man
13:09shit's wild
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?
13:18I don't excuse any
13:19of the behaviour
13:19I think it's very clear
13:20that it was all horrible
13:22but 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
13:29write the letter?
13:30why?
13:31yeah
13:31and it was
13:32I needed to say something
13:34because 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
13:41that's it
13:42Julia said that
13:42your relationship
13:43was a showmance
13:45was it real?
13:47it was definitely real
13:48if she's saying
13:49it's a showmance
13:49she said she loved me
13:52I spent so many
13:53weekends with her
13:54I took her daughter
13:55out for her birthday
13:55she was on my show
13:56I was FaceTiming
13:57her mum and her daughter
13:58if I had these
13:59special family 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
14:08to see between
14:08you and Gia
14:09here's some
14:10behind the scenes
14:10audio of you
14:11talking to a producer
14:12right after the call
14:14with Gia
14:14and it's where
14:15we really saw you
14:16open up
14:19you know what it is
14:21it just fucking
14:22hurt me too many times
14:23this experiment
14:24and I keep holding on
14:25and I think
14:25it's too many times
14:27like fuck I've had
14:28some bombs on me
14:29that none of you guys
14:30know about it
14:31like what?
14:32oh what she's
14:33done said to me
14:33and she was
14:35but like
14:36pretty much
14:36I'm like the most
14:37useless mother fucker
14:38you can ever come across
14:38pretty much
14:39I am
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
14:46think of
14:47as if I'm a fucking
14:48piece of shit
14:49and then apologises
14:50and cries on my shoulder
14:51because I know she doesn't mean
14:52that's why I forgive her
14:52because I know she doesn't mean
14:53she doesn't
14:54because she smiles
14:55because I'm in love with her
14:56so she reacts
14:57she responds the wrong way
14:59and then she even
14:59said on the couch
15:00I say this
15:01because when I'm hurt
15:02I've got to make the other
15:02person feel like shit too
15:04and that
15:05she's done the whole experiment
15:07bring lots of it
15:10this 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
15:16I did a lot
15:17yeah
15:17Scott
15:18it's hard
15:18wow
15:19that's a lot
15:20is that part of the reason
15:21that you didn't leave with Gia?
15:24yeah
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 do 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
15:40there's something you need to see
15:41yeah
15:41and which is what?
15:44the video
15:44giving her
15:45that was it
15:46keeping her options open to someone
15:47what was the absolute breaking point?
15:50honestly
15:50probably when I watched that video
15:53and then just went downhill from there real fast
15:55I only date men with money
15:56and you know
15:57you can find me on mass after the show
15:58I'm done in a week
15:59if you have the audacity
16:01to do that on national television
16:02I can only imagine
16:03what you're doing behind closed doors
16:05have you spoken to Gia since
16:06like since you parted ways
16:08after the dinner party
16:09have you spoken?
16:10I was at home
16:11and I get a phone call
16:12hey I'm at the Gold Coast
16:13yeah
16:14and
16:14she moved there
16:16she moved there
16:17yes

16:18tried to find herself
16:19I didn't even know
16:20and said
16:21can we get a coffee
16:21I'm like what?
16:23I rejected her on it
16:24and then she went off at me
16:26and said I 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
16:35so do you think she loved you?
16:37yeah
16:38must have
16:39yeah

16:40it did seem like the final test video
16:42was where you hit the point of no return
16:44however you weren't the only couple
16:46who face hurdles during this task
16:47let's remind ourselves

17:57and I'll give it to her
17:57when she needs it later on
17:58she will
18:03oh
18:05it's insane watching how differently
18:07the men and women
18:08handle that situation
18:09like polar opposites
18:11do you think the women were flirting?
18:12drop your hand
18:13everything they were saying
18:14Alyssa
18:16Beck
18:16Gia
18:18obviously Rachel carried herself well
18:19yourself
18:20you know if a couple of them were
18:21but most of them
18:22how was that experience
18:24described to you
18:25by Gia?
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
18:35all the things that you want to hear
18:36right
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
18:43the 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
19:04hey
19:11well this might
19:12this might be awkward
19:13it's not awkward
19:15because I'm
19:16you can have her
19:16you lived the experience
19:18you were there in the flesh
19:19you've now watched it back
19:21I'm dying to hear your thoughts
19:22do you feel like
19:24the girls and Gia
19:25were flirting
19:26yeah I was getting a vibe
19:27back 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
19:33I 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

19:58confusing to you as well

20:00the sort of A-OK
20:01and then she's like
20:02back off
20:02of course
20:03but look it's
20:04like sales right

21:10she needs someone else
21:11she's already got another
21:12boyfriend for God's sake
21:13look how quick this is
21:14she needs something
21:15was the
21:15was the content of the call
21:17even 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
21:24did mention
21:25Scott didn't want to
21:25leave with 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
21:46the receipts
21:47yeah
21:47Gia was sharing
21:48bikini photos with you
21:49she was
21:50like you said
21:51it 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
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
22:10to the dinner party
22:11and tried to get Scott
22:12back and tried to
22:13rekindle 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
22:23or want
22:23I didn't know
22:24that she was still
22:25in a relationship
22:25with Scott
22:26though
22:26still going through
22:26the process
22:27so if I did
22:28I wouldn't have
22:29carried on with the conversation
22:30so
22:30Scott
22:30when you find out
22:31this type of information
22:33about something
22:33it just shows the level
22:35of lies
22:35and it clearly still
22:36affects you
22:37because it's ridiculous
22:38like I have never
22:40met someone
22:40so bad like this
22:42it doesn't stop
22:43I never knew
22:43this was going to happen
22:44I didn't know
22:44he 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
22:53time and effort
22:54into someone
22:55who's calling me
22:56showmance
22:56take a look at yourself
22:58she will never
22:59take accountability
23:00for her own action
23:00because she thinks
23:01she's fine
23:02James thank you mate
23:04you dropped some pretty
23:04explosive receipts there
23:06can't wait to see
23:07what she has to say
23:08Philip and Stella
23:10excited for your final vows
23:12and Scotty
23:12good luck buddy
23:14it's been pretty hard
23:15watching your journey
23:16but we hope you find
23:18someone you can be
23:18your best self with

23:21Gia has not done a runner yet
23:22and she is still in the building

23:27Scott's had his time
23:28on 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
23:32my turn to speak now
23:34it's been
23:35seven weeks
23:36six no shows
23:37and more complex negotiations
23:39than a NATO peace agreement
23:41Gia is here
23:43and 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
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 that's all
24:00we've seen the whole show
24:01right
24:01that's nothing different
24:02alright well look
24:03let's not waste any time

24:41I can't grow

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 miss that
25:03and so I'm like
25:05I want him to know
25:05that it was real
25:06for me as well
25:07it 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
25:21and that you would
25:21berate 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
25:28you say 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
25:35made me feel a certain way
25:36but I haven't spoken
25:37on any of that
25:37I don't really want to
25:39shit talk him
25:42I 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
25:49tell you what it was
25:49well can we pull up
25:50some Mike moments
25:51of Scott where
25:52he was talking about
25:53the 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 he looked fat
26:01he said he looked fat
26:02yeah
26:02I would love
26:04something shown
26:04of him to look bad
26:05for 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
26:21bring them 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
26:25about so many other things
26:26he wasn't falling
26:27in love with me
26:27I'm not
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
26:36yep
26:38like
26:38it 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
26:45make 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
26:50I 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
26:56why don't you show
26:56those 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 footage
27:09of it
27:09there's no footage
27:09of it
27:10I don't know
27:10what else I can say
27:11do you feel
27:12as 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
27:22talk to us
27:23about though
27:23that moving
27:25like got your
27:25daughter
27:26you moved
27:26to the Gold Coast
27:27you moved
27:28within a very
27:28close proximity
27:29to where Scott
27:30was
27:30what was your
27:31intention
27:31well like 30 minutes
27:32from Scott
27:32the Gold Coast
27:33is small
27:34throughout the experiment
27:35I told my daughter
27:36we'd move back
27:37to the Gold Coast
27:37her dad lives
27:38on the Gold Coast
27:39and then
27:39yeah it was just
27:40too hard
27:41I relied on my mum
27:42and my family
27:43too much
27:43and they're like
27:44you need to be
27:44in 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
27:50with Scott
27:51I definitely did
27:51yeah 100%
27:52but then you just
27:53told us
27:53you said I wish
27:55you could all see
27:55how he treated me
27:56and what he said
27:57to me
27:57what he said
27:57behind closed doors
27:58and the extra footage
27:59pull it up
28:00if he was so bad
28:01why did you want
28:02to go and rekindle
28:03I'm not saying
28:04he 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
28:09with him
28:09I was still in love
28:10with him
28:11but yeah I mean
28:12he said a couple
28:13things here 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
28:19let's go back to Melbourne
28:19when you went back
28:21you went to Melbourne
28:22sorry went to Melbourne
28:23lied
28:24came back
28:25what was the purpose
28:26of you coming back
28:28I don't know if I can say
28:29that production
28:30wanted me to come back
28:31for the dinner party
28:32to confront Scott
28:33did you want to come back
28:34so you didn't
28:35you didn't want to come back
28:36at all
28:36how does production
28:38make you come back
28:39if you don't want to
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 texted
28:45didn't hear anything
28:46from 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
28:55just then
28:55I'm trying to talk
28:56a way around it
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
29:11off that flight
29:12you stayed in Sydney
29:14you 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
29:20go to 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
29:30because they knew I 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
29:58I mean your wish
29:59you could have had that pen 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
30:13yep
30:13and you have a game plan
30:15of out victiming Scott
30:17well
30:17you 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
30:25I was
30:25I 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
30:35like there 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
30:41to make
30:41the group like you
30:43it was like
30:43be a victim
30:44so that he would see that
30:45but it also said
30:46be a victim
30:46so 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
30:52as each other
30:52but Beck literally said
30:53the best thing you can do
30:54is also cry
30:55and you said
30:56oh 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 it came across
31:00it came across as a conversation
31:01that was very manipulative
31:03like
31:04okay
31:04yeah
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 was even
31:11right now
31:12everyone is poor Scott
31:13we need to turn that to poor Gia
31:15so that doesn't play like
31:16somebody that is like
31:17thinks that they lost
31:18the love of their life
31:19that's
31:19fine
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 for 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
31:44you know
31:45use it as a defence mechanism
31:47when I'm
31:48I'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
31:53so I'll just unleash
31:53I've got nothing to lose
31:54he doesn't want me
31:55who cares
31:56like
31:56do you look back now
31:57and knowing how much Scott
31:59did actually feel for you
32:00and this thing that you
32:01you guys got
32:02you got stuck on
32:03like you got stuck on the fact
32:03that he wouldn't say I love you
32:05how do you feel about that now
32:06how do you feel about that now
32:06do you regret
32:07all of this
32:08yeah
32:09yeah
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
32:17you know
32:17say he loves me back
32:18Gia there was a lot
32:19there was a lot with that
32:19the test right
32:21the final test
32:22that was
32:22we all saw
32:23the grass is greener
32:24yeah
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
32:34and act like
32:34it wasn't as bad
32:35as it was
32:35but watching it
32:36I'm like yeah
32:36it was pretty bad
32:38why
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
32:43I 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
32:49like this person
32:49was giving me so much
32:50heavy attention
32:51I was like

35:33yeah
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 wanted
35:42I was so rejected
35:43by Scott
35:43you have no idea
35:44I was begging him
35:46yeah
35:46I 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
36:25that insecurity comes from
36:26oh god
36:27that's so horrible
36:28I don't want to talk about that
36:29I'm sorry
36:30are 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 are 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
36:42you know
36:43I do think that you guys
36:45got into an extremely toxic cycle
36:47like
36:48and I
36:48I don't think you had
36:50big feelings for James
36:51I think it was a
36:52I'm lonely
36:53I'm hurting
36:54so I'm going to get my attention
36:55from someone
36:55somewhere else
36:56I do think that that's what you did
36:58however
36:59I guess the reason why we're holding you so much to account on this
37:02is because
37:03the story changes
37:04as soon as we share a 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 a little bit further
37:11I think you guys just really wanted 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 from 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 that doesn't work
37:27and another friendship that doesn't work
37:29or whatever
37:30like I have to work on things
37:32yeah I'm glad you guys have pushed me to this
37:36because it's made me realise
37:37like I can't do this kind of shit
37:39it's just
37:39and again I'm raising a daughter
37:41like I need to be better
37:44you were given in my opinion
37:47a great groom
37:50you were given someone who was amazing
37:52all the way through to the end right
37:55so my question is
37:57why do you think
37:58he couldn't say I love you
38:00I think it was the outside noise
38:02and all the drama I was involved in
38:03and that behaviour that I was displaying
38:05that was the reason why he couldn't fall in love with me
38:07I think it was just
38:08I really needed to 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 Gia
38:15I have seen on TV in Australia
38:17between you and Bec
38:18and I hate it
38:19I was almost rooting for you from the start
38:21thinking okay she's just had a moment
38:23she'll move past it
38:25but we were three months in
38:26and you just never moved past it
38:27yeah
38:28when you watch this back
38:29how do you feel
38:31because you were like that to the very end
38:33I literally can't watch it
38:35it's too confronting
38:35like I'm extremely embarrassed
38:39yeah I mean it's shown me
38:41sides of myself that I need to grow on
38:43and improve on
38:43definitely I watch it now
38:44and I'm like
38:45I can't you know
38:47facilitate normal friendships
38:49acting this way
38:49or like having a good relationship
38:51this way
38:51like it's
38:52some of the things that 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
39:05I 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
39:11like to think
39:12I'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
39:18but
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
39:27effed up
39:28with the spoilers
39:29you revealed

39:55every week

39:57cut the shit

40:03second thoughts about you
40:05because you'd just been
40:06creating so much drama
40:07and you felt vulnerable
40:09and so you tried
40:10to get ahead of it
40:11by saying

41:03really happy
41:03one day
41:04well beyond Scott
41:05your relationship with Beck
41:06was really what defined
41:08your 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
41:19in some way
41:20when we were going through
41:20shit with our relationship
41:21all we've seen
41:22is truly how horrible
41:24the two of you
41:25have been to each other
41:25yeah
41:26so surely when the cameras
41:27aren't rolling
41:27even if you have to be
41:29in 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
41:36switch into
41:36oh okay now the camera's off
41:38we can be friends babe
41:38like what's going on
41:40we were hanging out
41:41a little bit off 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
41:48situation
41:48it wasn't a friendship
41:49what about now
41:50definitely not
41:51do you trust her
41:53did you trust her
41:54no
41:54nah
41:55I mean you did put your trust
41:57in Beck at the dinner party
41:58and it backfired explosively
42:00yeah
42:00but that might not have been
42:02the case for Beck
42:03so I want you to take a look
42:04at this unseen footage
42:05that she gave
42:06after 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
42:23that was going to get her here
42:24was the only friend she had
42:26was me
42:27oh
42:28oh
42:28oh
42:29oh
42:30yeah she fucked me over
42:31and now you look like a dick
42:32so I see her
42:35oh my god
42:36I feel sick
42:36whoa
42:38her and her husband
42:39who would have thought
42:41absolutely
42:41what do you think
42:42I've kept the
42:42what is
42:43what would have thought
42:44I'm framing them
42:45and selling them
42:47jeez
42:47it's all been
42:49rainbows 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
43:00you'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
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
43:19that's sick
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
43:44so in that moment
43:45you believed
43:45that you were friends
43:46yeah
43:48at that point in time
43:49I did
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
43:57off camera
43:57with the whole Scott thing
43:59and like she acted like
44:00she 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 it would
44:07at that time
44:07but did you really believe
44:09Beck though
44:09you might have believed
44:10that you could have gotten
44:11through to Scott
44:11but surely
44:13surely
44:13of all of the things
44:15that she was doing
44:16and saying
44:16and the way
44:17the drama was unfolding
44:18like
44:19oh that is so fucked
44:19like I don't understand
44:21how you could get
44:21to the end of this experiment
44:22and think
44:24you 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
44:29and 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
44:39what to do
44:40stop telling me
44:40who to be friends with
44:41and I'm like
44:42oh my god
44:43like he knew this
44:44all along
44:45again because I wasn't
44:46focused on my relationship
44:47and Scott
44:48I wasn't able to
44:50take that on 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
44:55and take away from this
44:56is like
44:56it is a very good thing
44:57that you and Beck
44:58are not still
44:59in this frenemies friendship
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
45:09admitted it
45:10you can see that
45:11in yourself
45:12and I think
45:13that's something
45:13that you
45:14I didn't think
45:15I would say this
45:15but I do think
45:16you should be proud
45:16of that
45:17when you look back
45:18on it
45:18and you go
45:18oh I recognise
45:19what I was doing
45:20now
45:20like I was
45:21self-sabotaging
45:22and you've done it
45:23with every single
45:23relationship you've had
45:24in this show
45:26Gia
45:26in your audition
45:27you said you love drama
45:29you certainly brought it
45:30you brought it
45:32and got plenty of it
45:33but secondly
45:34you're still very young
45:36you've got a whole life
45:37ahead of you
45:37and this has given you
45:38some phenomenal life 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
45:53amazing bit of discovery
45:55so was it as bad
45:56as you thought
45:57sitting with us?
45:58Oh no
45:59I appreciate you guys
46:01and I appreciate the feedback
46:02and it's actually helpful
46:03I think
46:04moving forward
46:05now I can recognise more
46:06and seeing that
46:07I need to work on
46:08who I can trust
46:09and stop trying to look
46:10for drama
46:11and look for problems
46:12like there wasn't
46:13any problems with Scott
46:14I 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
46:19that you'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
46:30and we genuinely
46:31we mean it
46:32we do hope
46:32that you get everything
46:33out 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 bring
46:47a tear to your eye
46:48well nothing's ever going to

47:21there are you

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 John Aiken
47:37as they both guided couples
47:38through the joys
47:39and the struggles
47:40of finding love
47:41to honour Mel

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
48:11and
48:13we didn't really know
48:14how to deal with it
48:15Mel 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 I would
48:23come in to see her
48:24she'd squeal
48:25jump up
48:26and come over
48:26and give me a tight
48:27hug
48:28and we would dance
48:31we would
48:32crack jokes
48:34and we'd have a lot
48:35of fun
48:36she loved love
48:38so she was right
48:39into the experiment
48:40wanted every single
48:42couple to get over
48:43the line
48:43I can get impatient
48:45whereas she was
48:45always hopeful
48:46and that was Mel
48:47you know
48:48she was very
48:49compassionate
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
49:03of
49:03of just 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
49:15I 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
49:26be more
49:26compassionate
49:27and patient
49:29because you know
49:30sometimes the
49:30participants get under
49:31my skin
49:33and
49:34I can be very
49:35blunt with them
49:36yeah
49:37she
49:37had
49:38a lot of compassion
49:40which
49:40which I really
49:41adored
49:41and
49:43yeah
49:43I think
49:44she left a
49:45huge
49:47impact on me
49:48sounds like she was
49:49lucky to have you too
49:50John
49:50the outpouring of love
49:51for Mel
49:52since her passing
49:53is a testament
49:53to how much
49:54she was loved
49:55by everyone
49:55in many ways
49:57she was the heart
49:57of this experiment
49:58and her impact
49:59goes far beyond
50:00what we have seen
50:01on the screens
50:01so let's take a look
50:03at all of the love
