00:00:01You're special and I am in love with you.
00:00:06Philip finally confessed those magic words.
00:00:10Oh God, I feel like I'm going to cry.
00:00:12But Stella was left feeling triggered.
00:00:15Fear of rejection, not rejection, abandonment.
00:00:18So I'm dealing with that right now.
00:00:21Despite Rachel and Stephen's romantic progression.
00:00:25Made second base.
00:00:31They became the butt of the joke at the couple's retreat.
00:00:34Don't even want to be around here anymore.
00:00:37When the group turned on Beck and Danny.
00:00:39Every night you've been the dumbest.
00:00:43The pair made an abrupt exit.
00:00:46And at the dinner party.
00:00:48I've got all this in the screenshots.
00:00:49I've got it in text messages.
00:00:50Gia declared she was sitting on explosive evidence against Beck.
00:00:54I could ruin everything for her right now.
00:00:57She said.
00:00:58Oh.
00:00:59Are you kidding?
00:01:02Tonight.
00:01:04Beck has gotten away with a lot in this experiment.
00:01:07She's done a lot of things wrong by a lot of people.
00:01:10So I think the screenshots, if they are aired out, they help me.
00:01:14Because what I've been saying this whole time is she is a calculated evil person.
00:01:18And those screenshots show that.
00:01:21With only three commitment ceremonies remaining, the stakes have never been so high.
00:01:27I'm just excited for the next four weeks to see where we end up.
00:01:31I do see a future with her.
00:01:33Come forward.
00:01:35I love you.
00:01:36Yeah, put me on the spot a little bit.
00:01:38But are all of our couples on the same page?
00:01:42Um.
00:01:46If you're so terrified of making someone pregnant, maybe just do a snip.
00:01:50It's the sensitive topic.
00:01:52Has anyone heard of condoms?
00:01:54That will leave some divided.
00:01:57It's reversible.
00:01:58But it's a procedure.
00:02:00Before Stella's blindside.
00:02:02It's not fun.
00:02:03Threatens to tear apart the experiment's strongest couple.
00:02:07If I'm being honest with myself and with Philip.
00:02:12This is a breakup.
00:02:14No.
00:02:17Will Gia reveal her evidence against Beck?
00:02:20We do not like you.
00:02:21Don't lie about me then.
00:02:22You're trying to make me look bad.
00:02:23You're interrupting our card session.
00:02:25Shut up.
00:02:26And?
00:02:26I don't think this experiment is for me.
00:02:30What causes not one.
00:02:32Jules.
00:02:33No.
00:02:33Did you just hear that?
00:02:34But two participants to storm out.
00:02:38She's gone.
00:02:53It's the morning of the fifth commitment ceremony of the experiment.
00:02:57And despite the intensity of the week, our couple's connections have become even stronger.
00:03:04Oh gosh, you're torn.
00:03:07I'm really grateful for you.
00:03:13After reluctantly finding themselves in the spotlight at the retreat, last night's dinner
00:03:20party helped Rachel and Stephen regain their strength as a couple.
00:03:24Yeah, I'm feeling good about us.
00:03:26Yeah.
00:03:27And you know, the dinner party wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be.
00:03:31I feel like we came out really, really good.
00:03:33And also a bit of PDA in front of the group, babe.
00:03:43I was a happy girl.
00:03:46Like, yeah.
00:03:47Very, very happy.
00:03:48Last week at retreat, like, it wasn't just one of us coming under like that humiliation.
00:03:55It was our relationship and we had to work through that as a couple.
00:03:59And what that really showed me is when there are trying times, we can work through that.
00:04:05And that's really, really reassuring.
00:04:07Yeah, I'm feeling good about us and hopefully we can move forward and no more hiccups.
00:04:12But at the same time, it feels like there's still like, you know, some awkward tension simmering
00:04:17at the top.
00:04:19I don't know if Juliet maybe wanted to say more to Beck or I hope not.
00:04:24Can I just say, my husband and I are done.
00:04:28We're done talking about retreat.
00:04:30On that note, I think we should make some coffee.
00:04:33Thanks for that.
00:04:33Oh.
00:04:34You want a coffee?
00:04:35Yes, please.
00:04:36No worries.
00:04:37Oh, gosh.
00:04:38He's never done this before.
00:04:46The pressure of the retreat also took a toll on Beck and Danny.
00:04:51Oh.
00:04:52Who came close to leaving the experiment for good.
00:04:56But through it all, they found resilience in their relationship.
00:05:00And to lift spirits, today, Danny has a small surprise for Beck.
00:05:06So I got you a card and your favourite chocolate bar.
00:05:10You're so cute.
00:05:13And it's got a gift in the card.
00:05:18There's two date cards which can be cashed in any time.
00:05:22You're so cute.
00:05:25You're so cute.
00:05:29Me and Beck, we've never been in a better place than at the minute.
00:05:33You know, we're in a really good place.
00:05:34We're really united, really strong.
00:05:37And yeah, things are really progressing well for me and Beck, so it's nice.
00:05:41I am so happy that we didn't leave.
00:05:44I left the retreat thinking there was more hate than there was love.
00:05:48So I'm really glad that we chose to stay.
00:05:51Yeah.
00:05:51Last night, I was really, really anxious before going into the dinner party.
00:05:55I was obviously apprehensive going in, not knowing what I was going to,
00:06:00not knowing what I was getting into.
00:06:01Didn't know if Juliet was going to attack again.
00:06:04And even though Jira and Juliet sat on the couch and didn't come up to us,
00:06:09there was more love in that room for us than there was hate.
00:06:12I think it went well.
00:06:14Like, I was a bit disappointed with the apology.
00:06:16She tried to fluff around it.
00:06:18For me, when it comes to Juliet, I do not want anything to do with her.
00:06:25I accept her apology on the surface, but we will never, ever, ever, ever be friends.
00:06:31I think Juliet apologized because the experts were watching.
00:06:36My delivery and me calling you names was disgusting and vile,
00:06:40and I definitely should have not done that.
00:06:43But in the heat of the moment, I felt angry.
00:06:47Just kind of felt like, you know, you were speaking for Rachel's relationship
00:06:51and saying that they were in a massive fight.
00:06:55The argument at retreat was between Rachel and I.
00:06:58And Juliet's excuse was, I was standing up for Rachel.
00:07:02No, honey.
00:07:03You weren't standing up for Rachel.
00:07:04This is just the crux of who you are.
00:07:08Beck and Danny aren't the only couple reflecting on Juliet's behaviour last night.
00:07:14I'm so stoked and I'm so relieved that Juliet didn't pop off at Beck,
00:07:20otherwise I was going to step in because it was getting a bit too much.
00:07:22So I'm really thankful that we didn't have to get to that point
00:07:25and that Juliet actually articulated herself well.
00:07:28She apologised. She seemed genuine.
00:07:30And, yeah, I'm glad it didn't escalate.
00:07:33Yeah, I thought it went well.
00:07:34Yeah.
00:07:35I wouldn't go as far as saying I'm proud of Juliet.
00:07:37I feel like she f***ed up the exact same way two times back to back
00:07:40and kind of still had a lot of like butts and rebuttals to like...
00:07:44Last night?
00:07:45...everything last night.
00:07:45Yeah.
00:07:45Well, for me, I'm proud of her.
00:07:47She's my friend, so...
00:07:48Yeah, yeah.
00:07:48I'm proud of her.
00:07:50You're allowed to be proud of her.
00:07:50Yeah.
00:07:51I'm just saying that, like, I just feel like I'm going to keep her at arm's length
00:07:55because I still just don't trust her much at the moment.
00:07:58I see it as a small step that she apologised
00:08:00and she didn't go back to the old Juliet
00:08:02and for that reason I'm proud of her, so I'll stick with that.
00:08:05Yeah.
00:08:05Yeah.
00:08:06You don't have to have the same opinion as me.
00:08:08Yeah, no, no, I didn't say I had to.
00:08:09I'm just telling you I'm proud of her.
00:08:10Yeah, yeah.
00:08:10Yeah, cool.
00:08:15Um...
00:08:20I'm just feeling defeated, I guess.
00:08:23Juliet has woken this morning,
00:08:26still upset about last night's intense dinner party.
00:08:31It was just me being empathetic for Rach's situation
00:08:34and feeling it, like, in full force.
00:08:38Like, that's what I do as an empath.
00:08:39I feel people's pain in full force and I take it on.
00:08:45Which, like, I probably should have not done for someone
00:08:47who was just going to help kick me down a bit further.
00:08:51And that's what I felt like Rach did.
00:08:54Like, I feel like I would never, ever, ever help to, like,
00:08:59humiliate and shame someone who stood up for me in any degree, really.
00:09:05I just feel like I've been, like, a rock for so many people this week.
00:09:10And when time came to it, I didn't see those people around me.
00:09:17The only reason I have the situation with Bec right now
00:09:20is because I've been defending others all week over it,
00:09:24feeling their hurt and joining in on it.
00:09:27Like, I'm here to be a rock and an empath to people.
00:09:31I just hope to get the same back sometimes.
00:09:35Have you spoken to Gia since last night?
00:09:38Um, she's checked in on me this morning.
00:09:41Do you think you guys will be okay going into the future?
00:09:44Yeah, I definitely love her.
00:09:45I'm a ride or die for Gia.
00:09:47Do you think Gia's still ride or die for you?
00:09:50Yeah, I mean, her texting me this morning to check in,
00:09:53and I've also got a missed call from her.
00:09:57Like, that's really nice.
00:09:59And I love her and I miss her.
00:10:01And I think when I saw that, like, tease stream down my face,
00:10:03because I really, really, really, really love her.
00:10:08If someone has bitched about Gia, yeah, like, I'm done with them.
00:10:11And obviously that gets me caught in other situations.
00:10:17It's my character, though.
00:10:18I'm a ride or die for my friends.
00:10:29As the commitment ceremony draws closer,
00:10:32our couples are all getting set to face the experts.
00:10:43But for one participant,
00:10:46tonight's focus has been shifted to exposing another bride in the experiment.
00:11:00Gia has been sitting on some damning text messages written by Beck.
00:11:07But instead of planning to reveal the messages herself,
00:11:11Gia has chosen to share the text messages with another participant.
00:11:15The end.
00:11:16If you are...
00:11:24The end.
00:11:30The end.
00:11:35The end.
00:11:39English.
00:11:44My end.
00:11:45You look stunning as always.
00:11:47Thanks, so do you.
00:11:49Give it a bit of a ceremony.
00:11:50I know.
00:11:50A bit interesting at the moment, though, I've got to say.
00:11:53Why? What's wrong?
00:11:55Last night, I was talking to Juliet.
00:11:58I showed her some screenshots of some things that Beck's been saying,
00:12:02using disgusting language.
00:12:05So then I actually was getting my nails done,
00:12:08and when I walked into the nail salon,
00:12:10Beck was leaving the nail salon
00:12:12and started talking shit about Juliet.
00:12:15So I called Juliet, and I said,
00:12:17hey, just letting you know, I ran into Beck.
00:12:18She said this, and she's like, cool.
00:12:19Well, I'm sick of this bitch talking about me.
00:12:22So she's gone and printed out some screenshots
00:12:25so that if the experts come at her for using that language,
00:12:28I'm sure Beck will deny using that language and go,
00:12:30oh, I don't talk like that.
00:12:32Juliet will probably just drop a screenshot
00:12:33of Beck saying language like that.
00:12:37I don't agree with the language Juliet used.
00:12:40I think it was a bit inappropriate and too far,
00:12:42but the screenshots show that Beck is very comfortable
00:12:46using that kind of language.
00:12:49So I don't know.
00:12:50Like, I don't know what way it's going to go tonight.
00:12:52Some things in the message that were really disgusting.
00:12:54Beck has gotten away with a lot of shit in this experiment.
00:12:57She's done a lot of things wrong by a lot of people.
00:12:59Some of them are still unaware
00:13:01that she's done this behind closed doors.
00:13:02So I think the screenshots, if they are aired out,
00:13:07they help me because what I've been saying this whole time
00:13:10is she is a calculated evil person
00:13:12and those screenshots show that.
00:13:15I don't blame Juliet.
00:13:16She's now got them in her hands
00:13:18and she's going to do what she's going to do with them.
00:13:20So if Juliet feels that she needs to do this tonight,
00:13:23then Juliet should do this.
00:13:28I don't know what to expect.
00:13:31Could blow out a proportion, that's for sure.
00:13:35Whatever happens, happens.
00:13:36Yeah.
00:13:37Nothing's going to affect us, so...
00:14:04Good evening.
00:14:05Good evening, gentlemen.
00:14:06Hello.
00:14:07Welcome, gents.
00:14:08Hello.
00:14:09Hello.
00:14:11Good evening, welcome.
00:14:15Oh.
00:14:24Hello, ladies and gents.
00:14:27Hey, guys.
00:14:28Hello.
00:14:29Hello.
00:14:33Hey, bub.
00:14:34Darling, here we go.
00:14:43Welcome, everybody, to the fifth commitment ceremony.
00:14:47Now, it has been a very eventful week for all of you,
00:14:50coming off the back of a couple's retreat.
00:14:55Now, we do this task, and it is a pivotal one every single time during the experiment so that we
00:15:03can see how you operate as couples outside of your normal environment and how your relationship sustains a different type
00:15:13of pressure.
00:15:14Certainly from the dinner party, certainly from the dinner party that occurred last night, the group has experienced some division.
00:15:24We will look at this as well as the individual couples that sit here tonight to find out exactly how
00:15:33you're travelling along, but also, particularly, to get you to think about the very important question of whether or not
00:15:41you can take this relationship from the experiment into the real world.
00:15:48And on that note, let's get our first couple up, Jira and Scott.
00:15:58Great.
00:16:02How you going?
00:16:02Hello.
00:16:03Hello, you two.
00:16:04Hello.
00:16:04Welcome.
00:16:08All right, you two.
00:16:09Well, why don't we kick off with the couple's retreat?
00:16:11How was it?
00:16:13Do you want to talk?
00:16:14Do you want to talk?
00:16:14Yeah, go.
00:16:15Oh.
00:16:18Um, I don't know, it was quite chill for us.
00:16:21Well, throughout the days, obviously, no, throughout the days, I look at the good stuff.
00:16:27Like, it was just a lot, the retreat, to be honest.
00:16:29It was just really emotional.
00:16:30I think a lot of us are drained from it, to be honest.
00:16:33Can you tell us a little bit about what you experienced and how it's affected your relationship?
00:16:40To be honest, it hasn't affected our relationship, any of the drama.
00:16:43It hasn't at all.
00:16:44We've been, like he even said, the last two days, like, we're the closest we've ever been.
00:16:48I think, like, you know, he's called me his soulmate at the dinner party.
00:16:53Like, I just want to focus on, like, the positives because I've been involved in drama too much and it's
00:16:58taken a toll on me, to be honest.
00:17:00I just don't want to focus on it anymore, to be honest.
00:17:03I think we're near the end and everyone's focusing and should be focusing on our relationships and that's what we're
00:17:08doing.
00:17:08And I think when we shut out all that drama, like, it's...
00:17:12We're even better.
00:17:12We're great.
00:17:14That's just other shit.
00:17:16It's got nothing to do with us.
00:17:17It doesn't affect our actual relationship.
00:17:20Because what we have together is real and that's all that matters.
00:17:22So, respectfully for them two, I won't talk to them anymore.
00:17:25That's because I want to carry on my relationship and I think it's not good we interact because all it
00:17:29does is bring drama to us.
00:17:30Were you and Danny friends?
00:17:32We were.
00:17:34Like, it does suck because we had a good friendship, but...
00:17:36Well, that's one of the things that, you know, we need to bring up.
00:17:40What we saw at the dinner party was that you've actually had to lose a friendship as a result of
00:17:47some of the drama.
00:17:48Exactly.
00:17:49When I walked in the dinner party with Bec, Scott didn't get up to even acknowledge we were in the
00:17:54room.
00:17:55I was just a bit disappointed that as a man and as a gentleman you didn't get up to say
00:17:59hello to me and my wife.
00:18:03We're doing that so we aren't involved in drama anymore.
00:18:05It's difficult, you know, at the retreat you yelled out at me that I'm a liar in front of people.
00:18:09So, like, how do you expect my husband's going to react to that?
00:18:12You lied about me as well, Gia.
00:18:13Yeah, but we're trying to move forward and you're interrupting our card session.
00:18:16Shut up.
00:18:30You lied about me as well, Gia.
00:18:32Yeah, but we're trying to move forward and you're interrupting our card session.
00:18:35Shut up.
00:18:41We don't care anymore, OK?
00:18:44Don't lie about me.
00:18:44We didn't say hello to both of you because we do not like you either.
00:18:47That's fine. Don't lie about me then.
00:18:48So we're not going to go say hi, fake, how are you?
00:18:51Not doing it. We're done.
00:18:53All right, let's go back to Scott and Gia.
00:18:56Yes, please. Thanks.
00:18:58I just want to move on my relationship because that's all that matters.
00:19:00That's all we care about. That's what I came here for.
00:19:03I didn't come here for high school shit.
00:19:04I came here to find the love of my life and that's it.
00:19:09But to be fair, your involvement in the drama has been there right throughout the experiment.
00:19:18So we've got to hold you to account and say there is a reason why there's drama swirling around the
00:19:24two of you.
00:19:25What you're saying now is that you're making a concerted decision to move away from it.
00:19:30Right.
00:19:33Do you think you can do that?
00:19:36Last dinner party I didn't say anything and I should have and I didn't.
00:19:39So I wanted to back Juliet and I said to myself, I can't get involved anymore.
00:19:46I can't get involved.
00:19:48So Gia, how's your relationship been able to move forward through this conflict and not collapse under that pressure?
00:19:58I'll just ignore the shit.
00:20:00Also, I feel like our connection is too strong.
00:20:03Like there's no way.
00:20:05And this just proves it to me.
00:20:07All the shit can get thrown at us and our relationship doesn't change.
00:20:11What I do find is that like...
00:20:13And I told you, John, when I met you, what I was after and I said my number one thing
00:20:17is I've never had a man back me in my life.
00:20:19So when he does this, like, yeah, like, this is all I asked for.
00:20:27I've just never had like a soul connection like this in my life.
00:20:30Like I don't think much could waver it, to be honest.
00:20:34So have you fallen in love with him?
00:20:37I'm not saying that, John.
00:20:39What are you waiting for?
00:20:40Him.
00:20:42Yeah, because I feel like he knows where I'm at and I need him to say it first, to be
00:20:48honest.
00:20:51For me, like, I don't know what it is.
00:20:52Like, I don't know whether I'm scared or it's fear.
00:20:55I don't know what it is.
00:20:56Maybe I'm just pressured to force that love quicker than what it should be.
00:21:01For me, I just, there's something in my mind.
00:21:03Like, I just, I need more of this outside world in before I can really give that true love.
00:21:08But I know I'm getting there and I know it'll probably happen.
00:21:10So have you two talked about the future and specifically what your relationship would look like?
00:21:16We've spoken a lot about it.
00:21:17We've been looking at real estate.
00:21:18Oh, we've been looking at houses.
00:21:19And like, I got a quote from a mover already.
00:21:21Like, I'm like, are we doing it?
00:21:23Yeah, we have.
00:21:24Like, we've already looked at areas and places to get a house and stuff because I need to get a
00:21:28bigger place.
00:21:29But I have to say that I really have enjoyed how raw and honest you've been tonight with us.
00:21:38And had each other's back.
00:21:40And you're very invested in one another.
00:21:43And that's what we love to see.
00:21:46So on that note, we're going to go to the decision.
00:21:48I think we're pretty unshakable and I'm really excited to move forward and see what the future holds for us.
00:21:54So, I've got the stay and I've got the Gold Coast.
00:21:57Oh, Judy.
00:21:59Look at that manifesting, aren't you?
00:22:01Yeah.
00:22:02I am, actually.
00:22:03We're just, I don't know, we're so friggin' good.
00:22:05Like, there's not much to say.
00:22:07I just bring on the challenges because we already just hit the end of the road, so.
00:22:10Yeah.
00:22:10I wrote stay with the bath because we had the bath in the retreat.
00:22:14Oh, my God, that's so cute.
00:22:17We won that race.
00:22:18Sorry, guys.
00:22:20This is what we want at these commitment ceremonies.
00:22:23Opening up, getting raw and really exposing yourselves and you've done that.
00:22:27And you've shown who you are and you've also shown particularly that you have strong feelings for one another.
00:22:34So, keep it up.
00:22:36You can go back to the group.
00:22:37Thanks, guys.
00:22:38Well done, guys.
00:22:39Appreciate it.
00:22:49Let's have our next couple up.
00:22:56Danny and Bec.
00:23:01Hello, you two.
00:23:02Yeah.
00:23:03Hello.
00:23:04How are we?
00:23:11Shall we start the couples retreat?
00:23:15And then just move forward from there, Bec?
00:23:18Sure.
00:23:20What's your take on what happened at the couples retreat and how it landed for you?
00:23:27I made a poor choice in words in a speech on the first night.
00:23:32And it was a distasteful joke that was not meant maliciously.
00:23:36And I've apologised to Rachel and Stephen a number of times.
00:23:40Um, I didn't say it expecting to upset Rachel and I understand why it did.
00:23:49And, um, I'm sorry to you both again.
00:23:54From that came a really bad few days for me, personally.
00:24:02Um, it just turned into sort of a pylon a little bit.
00:24:08I was isolated and, you know, one day I was just in bed crying for hours.
00:24:16So, yeah, it was hard for me.
00:24:18It opened my eyes to maybe, you know, when I have been curt and unkind to people in the
00:24:25past at the beginning of this, how that may have felt for Alyssa, for example.
00:24:29And that's just awful.
00:24:32But through that hardship came something so beautiful and I could actually say thank you
00:24:37to those girls.
00:24:39Because what they did was made my relationship tenfold stronger and us so much closer.
00:24:46Because he didn't leave my side.
00:24:49And I could depend on him.
00:24:52So, as a couple, this really pressured situation that you're under has actually taken you to
00:25:01another level.
00:25:03Tell me, how confident are you that, you know, this has the legs to actually go into the real
00:25:09world?
00:25:13Look, I've got to be honest, I'm scared.
00:25:16I am, I'm scared and...
00:25:18What are you scared about?
00:25:20I'm scared that I have, like, my feelings are stronger for Daniel than they, than his
00:25:24are for me.
00:25:25Ah.
00:25:26Sometimes.
00:25:27Sorry, babe.
00:25:28Have you ever said that before to him?
00:25:29No.
00:25:30Okay, so this is a very big moment for you.
00:25:32And I'm scared that...
00:25:33What, what makes you feel that way?
00:25:35I don't know.
00:25:36I just know how, how, how I, I look at him and I think, I don't, I can't imagine my
00:25:43life
00:25:43without him now.
00:25:45And I don't want to.
00:25:47But I don't know whether or not he feels that way about me.
00:25:51Have you asked him?
00:25:53No.
00:25:55Well, now's as good a time as any.
00:25:57Jesus Christ.
00:25:59Put a man on the spot.
00:26:01Um.
00:26:09What's the question?
00:26:13The question is, can you envisage your life without me in it?
00:26:19Because I can't envisage my life without you in it now.
00:26:26Um.
00:26:30I've never thought of your, my life without you in it.
00:26:33Because I'm just going through what we're going through.
00:26:36Do you know what you mean?
00:26:39I think I show, I show you how much I care about you.
00:26:41Yeah, no, I know, I know, yeah.
00:26:42You know?
00:26:42I know that you do.
00:26:44I just, I just, I just look at you and I'm like, you're the best.
00:26:49And I don't know if you look at me and think you're the best.
00:26:53Sometimes.
00:26:54I always do.
00:26:55Do you?
00:26:55That's cute.
00:26:56I just don't say it.
00:26:57Thanks, Beck.
00:26:59So describe your feelings for him.
00:27:01Where are we at right now?
00:27:04Beck, come clean.
00:27:10My feelings are extremely, extremely strong for Daniel.
00:27:18Seriously, seriously strong.
00:27:29I love you.
00:27:30Yay!
00:27:32Yay!
00:27:43That's extreme.
00:27:45Jesus.
00:27:51I don't, I don't even know what to say to that.
00:28:01You don't have to reply.
00:28:03I can't cope.
00:28:10Extreme.
00:28:14Danny, how did it feel to hear that?
00:28:17Yeah, it feels good.
00:28:18I'm shocked that she's just told me in front of everyone, but yeah, it feels good.
00:28:23Sorry, shall I have to save that for a special moment?
00:28:25No, no, of course not.
00:28:26You can say it whenever you want.
00:28:28But yeah, I guess I'm just a bit thrown right now.
00:28:33So, so Danny, I know that you, you're shocked, absolutely, because you weren't expecting that
00:28:38tonight, but in saying that, um, what does it do to you, to hear that?
00:28:48I don't, I don't know how to answer for how does it make me feel.
00:28:52Does it make you feel happy?
00:28:53Does it make you feel scared?
00:28:54Obviously, it doesn't, it doesn't make me feel scared, to be honest with you, because
00:28:58why would it?
00:28:59Do you know what you mean?
00:29:00Like, I think that's a bit of a, it just makes me feel happy, but not, not scared at
00:29:05all.
00:29:05It doesn't make you feel like you want to do a marathon and run, right?
00:29:07No, I'm not the type of bloke to do that.
00:29:10I don't think that Daniel's at that place, but I would be lying if I didn't, if I wasn't
00:29:17honest with you right now.
00:29:18That's how I feel.
00:29:20I'm scared.
00:29:21I'm really scared to feel this way.
00:29:23It's really scary for me.
00:29:27It's really adulting, it's really adult of me, and I, yeah, it's, yeah, and this is why
00:29:34I'm nervous, because my feelings are so strong, and I just want it to work out.
00:29:40It's what I want.
00:29:44Well, look, on that note, it has been an incredibly difficult week for you, but, wow, you've had
00:29:53huge revelations tonight.
00:29:56We want to go to the decision, stay or leave.
00:30:00Bec, I'm pretty sure I know where this is headed.
00:30:03L-E-A-B-E.
00:30:03No, I'm just kidding.
00:30:05Um, yeah, please don't run away from me.
00:30:09I won't.
00:30:10Okay.
00:30:10Well, I wrote stay.
00:30:13Lovely.
00:30:14And I wrote thank you, boo, for his support at retreat.
00:30:18Oh.
00:30:20And for you, Danny.
00:30:23And tonight, I'll put stay with a love heart.
00:30:28That's cute.
00:30:30Well done, guys.
00:30:32Very, very powerful.
00:30:33Well done.
00:30:33Thanks so much.
00:30:33Powerful decision.
00:30:34Have a great week.
00:30:35You can go back to the group.
00:30:36Thanks, guys.
00:30:37Congratulations.
00:30:39Congratulations.
00:30:42Thank you, too.
00:30:45Oh.
00:30:50Put the pressure on me.
00:30:52Why don't you?
00:30:55Oh.
00:30:56I didn't know Bec was going to come out with that.
00:30:59You're in front of the whole experts, the group.
00:31:01Um, yeah, it put me on the spot a little bit, but I think I dealt with it well.
00:31:06You're going to run away, aren't you?
00:31:07I don't know, Bec.
00:31:08I'm going to relax.
00:31:09I don't feel that you should tell someone you love them unless you truly mean it.
00:31:13Um, love's a massive thing, and it's a word that shouldn't be chucked around loosely.
00:31:17Um, so, look, she could tell me 10,000 times.
00:31:19Why don't you feel like I'm not going to say it back?
00:31:31Our next couple up on the couch tonight...
00:31:41Rachel and Stephen.
00:31:47Go, bestie.
00:31:48Go, bestie.
00:31:49Hello.
00:31:51Hi.
00:31:53Oh, yeah.
00:31:56Can't be a lounge.
00:31:59You two had a big week.
00:32:02Oh.
00:32:05Yeah, the retreat.
00:32:06The gift that keeps on giving.
00:32:09And the relationship-going places tell us about everything.
00:32:13Ah, you heard about that, isn't you?
00:32:15We were observing the dinner party and the cocktail party.
00:32:18The word gets around here, doesn't it?
00:32:19Well, yes.
00:32:21Okay.
00:32:22Um, we'll start before the retreat.
00:32:25Um, you know, me and Rachel were, uh...
00:32:30You know, I'm doing well.
00:32:35It was a passionate moment.
00:32:37I felt connected with Rachel.
00:32:39How passionate.
00:32:40It was really nice.
00:32:43It was really nice.
00:32:43I got that part.
00:32:46It was like...
00:32:49I've known, like, Stephen has expressed from many weeks ago that to increase intimacy would
00:32:57mean that he would need to feel more of an emotional connection to me, so it was really special because
00:33:05he obviously felt that with me.
00:33:08So, yeah, it was, it was a nice connecting moment and I just really felt I could just feel our
00:33:17relationship start, like, take this trajectory.
00:33:20It was, yeah, it was really nice.
00:33:23It was really connecting, but we've only increased intimacy that one time.
00:33:39Um, okay, so, um, obviously the next day was sort of the retreat.
00:33:48And this is where it all unfolds a little bit, so, um, Rachel expressed our good news to the group
00:33:59and there was a comment that was made, um, sort of in bad taste and, uh, Rachel, um, was really
00:34:08upset by the comment and it was just three days of carnage, really.
00:34:14Um, the retreat for me and Rachel was meant to be a sort of a getaway and a redemption from
00:34:21our honeymoon and it pretty much deteriorated from day one and, you know, night after night, um, you know, Rachel
00:34:30was, you know, sort of really upset and I guess to answer the question, um, yeah, the last thing I
00:34:37found, you know, I was going to do is pull moves when Rachel was really sort of hurt and I
00:34:41just, yeah, we just didn't, weren't in that mood.
00:34:50So, obviously we did hear from the cocktail and dinner party what the comments made were and I guess my
00:34:56question to you, Rachel, is why did it have such a big impact that it lasted three days?
00:35:04So, we are talking about the comment that Bec made, correct?
00:35:08Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, um, in the moment that the comment was made now, I understand it wasn't made
00:35:15with malice, it wasn't made to make me feel any type of way.
00:35:17However, because I had shared, I chose my language very carefully when I shared with the entire group, that wording
00:35:27right at the end, it just felt like it cheapened it, I felt humiliated.
00:35:32So, it just, it just became, it just became this really big thing and it just didn't mean to be.
00:35:38Looking back and how I feel on that, I definitely was influenced by the information that was given to me.
00:35:46100%.
00:35:46By whom?
00:35:46Um, by Juliet and Gia.
00:35:52After reflection, I feel like I've been used as a pawn in something that is, there's still a rift between
00:36:02Juliet, Bec and Gia and I feel like this situation kind of allowed them to like have something else to
00:36:12fuel up about.
00:36:14That's how I feel now, yeah.
00:36:19So, you feel like Juliet and Gia used you as a pawn as a way to generate more drama with
00:36:26Bec because there's been clearly, um, a rift there in their relationship.
00:36:33To be fair, when Bec did make these comments with me, I said I didn't want any part of it.
00:36:41Bec was coming to me with this stuff.
00:36:43I said I didn't want the drama and she would cover her mic and say even more stuff about it.
00:36:48It's just a fabricated story.
00:36:49It didn't happen.
00:36:50It didn't happen.
00:36:50I can't.
00:36:51I can't.
00:36:52I did not want any of this.
00:36:53I was trying to not engage in it.
00:37:01And so this is, I guess, where I don't know.
00:37:05That's honestly just how I was feeling.
00:37:07I just didn't know what was real and what was real being told to me and what wasn't.
00:37:14And, yeah.
00:37:19With it, it's just been a really emotional time.
00:37:21I call it the retreat hangover.
00:37:23Um, and it's just...
00:37:25That's a pretty good description.
00:37:26It did interfere a little bit with our relationship.
00:37:33It called things off intimacy-wise, but in terms of our relationship, I felt like we got stronger
00:37:41as a couple because it was like, yes, there was a lot happening with our relationship.
00:37:47Like, you know, it felt like there was a lot outside doors about talking about our relationship.
00:37:52But when I was really upset, like, I just wanted my husband and he was there and we were really
00:37:58connected that way.
00:37:59It just wasn't like intimacy.
00:38:04Was it like that for you, Stephen?
00:38:06At the moment, yeah, the intimacy thing is just not there.
00:38:10But I'm still close and connected with Rachel.
00:38:12I'm still comfortable.
00:38:13I mean, we're still having, you know, good dates together and we're having fun together.
00:38:18We're laughing.
00:38:18So, you know, it's still good.
00:38:20But I'm confident we're, yeah, we're, we haven't gone backwards.
00:38:25I love the giggles.
00:38:26Oh, it's gorgeous.
00:38:27Love it.
00:38:33With that, let's go to the decision.
00:38:36Um, Rachel.
00:38:38Yeah.
00:38:39Stay or leave?
00:38:40Um, look, this week was just so easy for me.
00:38:43And there's no way a man can call me a wonderful woman at a dinner party and not have me
00:38:48stick around.
00:38:49Simple as that.
00:38:54And Stephen?
00:38:55Uh, well, um, you know, we've come a long way in this experiment.
00:39:00I'm very happy with, uh, the direction it's, uh, going.
00:39:03And, um, I was going to draw a nice little picture for you to show how much I liked you.
00:39:08But I realized I can't draw.
00:39:10So, all right.
00:39:12Stay.
00:39:13Oh, the little fish.
00:39:15Come fishing with me.
00:39:16She's a good catch.
00:39:19I will say this, big steps in the right direction on many fronts for the two of you this week.
00:39:26That step that you've already taken to getting more physically close and more physically comfortable,
00:39:34you're going to want to repeat.
00:39:35And I really hope that that is a bit of a goal in terms of just really focusing on the
00:39:40things that bind you together
00:39:41and things that will help nourish that bond that you're constructing.
00:39:45So, focus on that in the next week.
00:39:48You can go back to the group.
00:39:50Well done, you guys.
00:39:51Good stuff.
00:40:00Oh.
00:40:03Coming up.
00:40:04And then I just said, look, I love you.
00:40:09Phillip's love.
00:40:11This can't be true.
00:40:14Stella's blind side.
00:40:16At the moment, he doesn't see Sydney as a possibility to move.
00:40:19And in my head, this is a breakup.
00:40:23And then...
00:40:24Express to me what your point is.
00:40:27You should be careful when I have screenshots of what you've said about Alyssa and David.
00:40:35Vile.
00:40:35It was vile.
00:40:49Our next couple tonight...
00:40:55Sam and Chris.
00:40:56Let's go.
00:40:59Hello.
00:41:01Hello.
00:41:02Welcome.
00:41:03How are we doing?
00:41:06Well, how was retreat for you guys?
00:41:08It was good.
00:41:10I was always going into the retreat with the intention that I would make the next move.
00:41:15But there was a lot going on.
00:41:17So, when we got back from the retreat, as he was unpacking, I just went into the bedroom
00:41:21and said, hey, Chris, come in here for a second and, um...
00:41:24Wait, no.
00:41:25I was actually doing my laundry in my underwear.
00:41:27I had all my clothes and he's like, Chris, come here.
00:41:30I was like, yeah, what?
00:41:31And I was like, oh, right.
00:41:33Okay.
00:41:33It's a bit short with me.
00:41:37And he meant business.
00:41:38He meant business, yeah.
00:41:39We broke the friend zone.
00:41:41So, we're out of the friend zone.
00:41:42Excellent.
00:41:44Proud mama.
00:41:46Always, always.
00:41:47Yeah.
00:41:48So, let me ask you this, Sam.
00:41:50Mr. Slowburn.
00:41:52That's not what we call me, is it?
00:41:54No, no, no.
00:41:54Not anymore.
00:41:55No, not anymore.
00:41:57Do you feel you're still burning slow?
00:42:01Right now, there's feelings.
00:42:03I won't deny that because I wasn't going to act on any intimacy until there was.
00:42:07So, that's a clear sign that there was.
00:42:08You know, I turned to you in the retreat and I said, like, I think of you as my boyfriend.
00:42:12And, like, that is what's changed, I guess, or has developed.
00:42:17It's probably a better word.
00:42:18And what about your feelings, Chris?
00:42:21Yeah, so, my feelings for Sam have been pretty strong since I met him.
00:42:25Like, that's who I am.
00:42:26I'm like, yep, cute, you know, tick, six foot, like, tick, blah, blah, blah.
00:42:31So, yeah.
00:42:32Six foot three.
00:42:33Six foot three.
00:42:37And are you starting to think about life outside the experiment?
00:42:42I think what it would probably look like is just, like, say we go well, everything ticks
00:42:45of boxes, we'd have a place in Sydney, so he'd go to Sydney.
00:42:49I would stay primarily at the farm and then maybe we can float back and forth for a bit
00:42:53from Sydney to the farm.
00:42:54Someone's been thinking about this quite a bit of detail.
00:42:57I think that's what it would look like if we are successful and I want us to be successful,
00:43:02but he has a lot of stuff to do in the city, whereas I'm, like, cool to be at the
00:43:05farm full-time.
00:43:06And I'm just excited for the next four weeks on this experiment and see where we end up.
00:43:12Well, we're going to go to a decision.
00:43:13Cool.
00:43:15Today, I wrote, stay.
00:43:18Yes, you did.
00:43:19I'm not yelling.
00:43:20It's just I'm very excited to be here.
00:43:21Too loud.
00:43:22Too loud.
00:43:23Love it.
00:43:23For our second.
00:43:24Loud and proud.
00:43:25Yeah.
00:43:25Beautiful.
00:43:26And you, Chris?
00:43:27Okay.
00:43:27Pretty obvious.
00:43:28I also wrote, stay.
00:43:30Oh.
00:43:31Well, well done.
00:43:32Thank you so much.
00:43:37Thank you guys so much.
00:43:38Thank you, guys.
00:43:38Well done.
00:43:46Well done, guys.
00:43:48Thanks so much, guys.
00:43:49Yeah.
00:43:51Our next couple up on the couch.
00:43:55Alyssa and David.
00:44:00Hello, you two.
00:44:01Hello.
00:44:02Hey.
00:44:02How's it going?
00:44:04We're going well, but we're more interested in how you guys are going.
00:44:08Oh, okay.
00:44:10I can't shake him off.
00:44:10She can't kick me off her leg.
00:44:12Are you trying?
00:44:13I can't.
00:44:14Well, do you know what?
00:44:15I have tested.
00:44:16Yeah.
00:44:17I'm just being honest.
00:44:18I've tested.
00:44:19I've tried to shake him off and he won't leave.
00:44:21So, you know, he likes it.
00:44:23He obviously likes the challenge.
00:44:25I know this is very cute and playful, but do you like it?
00:44:30I'm not going to lie.
00:44:31Anyway, it's not like I won't say I like it, but I can handle it.
00:44:36She is obviously more of a storm and I'm calm.
00:44:41And for some reason, like, you know, I'm just so pulled towards that storm.
00:44:46But I find, like, I'm able to harbor that storm and it doesn't get to me.
00:44:51I even get happy talking about it.
00:44:52So, yeah, I can't explain it.
00:44:56So, Alyssa, you know, when you initially talked about some of the questions you've got around David
00:45:05and whether he challenges you, is it fair to say now that you're seeing his character,
00:45:11his calmness as being something that...
00:45:14It's challenging me.
00:45:15It's challenging you, but also that you're actually responding really well to.
00:45:19It actually is.
00:45:20Like, it's because it's a new thing for me to overcome.
00:45:24And it's a good thing.
00:45:26I know that I, you know, I'm a bit of a menace sometimes, a bit loud,
00:45:31and I can be challenging, but he is a pillar.
00:45:35He's a strong, safe place.
00:45:38It's another reason why I'm still drawn to Alyssa.
00:45:42It's because I know I'm good for her.
00:45:44I think we balance each other out really well.
00:45:47David, how do you feel about Alyssa?
00:45:50I feel like I'm still falling for Alyssa.
00:45:52I don't think anything's changed.
00:45:54Like, I do see a future with her.
00:45:55And I want her to know that she can't scare me off.
00:45:59Like, it doesn't scare me at all.
00:46:01I'm falling for you.
00:46:04Alyssa, how does that feel to hear that?
00:46:06It's really nice.
00:46:07Yeah.
00:46:08Like, it's really nice.
00:46:10Well, with that being the case, let's go to the decision.
00:46:13Like I said, I am falling for you, Alyssa.
00:46:16And, you know, I like every part about you.
00:46:19The bad, the good, the ugly.
00:46:21And the fun.
00:46:22And the fun.
00:46:23The fun.
00:46:23A lot of fun.
00:46:24Everyone can attest to that.
00:46:25She's a ball of fun.
00:46:27And I'm looking forward to seeing how the rest of this goes.
00:46:32So, yeah.
00:46:34Today, great stuff.
00:46:36Alyssa, what you got for us?
00:46:39Oh, well, I can't shake him off.
00:46:41Like, he's just hanging in there.
00:46:43So, I've decided to stick around.
00:46:47Love it.
00:46:47Good day.
00:46:50And on that note, go back to the group.
00:46:52You're welcome.
00:46:52Well done, guys.
00:47:05All right, let's get our next couple up.
00:47:09Stella and Phillip.
00:47:11Yay.
00:47:16Hello.
00:47:20Wow.
00:47:20A pre-emptive tissue grab.
00:47:22I'm coming prepared.
00:47:23Yeah.
00:47:24I'm coming prepared.
00:47:25Noted.
00:47:26I am curious.
00:47:28Why the tissue grab?
00:47:30Um, I'm in a very sensitive, um, mood.
00:47:35Yeah.
00:47:36Yeah.
00:47:37I sense that.
00:47:38So, what's going on for you?
00:47:40Um, it's okay.
00:47:44I think it all kind of unravelled, um, when Phillip confessed his feelings.
00:47:57Um, conversations got really heavy, really, really quick.
00:48:03Uh, so, the last commitment ceremony, Alessandra was saying, look, I don't understand the confusion
00:48:09here.
00:48:09You're dancing around.
00:48:10Talk about how you feel.
00:48:11Well, why don't you just tell her.
00:48:14So, uh, that night I told her, you know, come over here, come sit down.
00:48:19She thought she was in trouble.
00:48:21And then I just said, look, I, I, I, I love you.
00:48:27I'm feeling it, you know.
00:48:30And it felt good saying that.
00:48:32And you're right.
00:48:33You were right.
00:48:33Just express it.
00:48:34Just say it if you're feeling it.
00:48:38Stellar, what specifically did that feel like for you, hearing that?
00:48:45I went into self-preservation mode.
00:48:49Um, and I think my big fear of abandonment came up to play.
00:48:55Okay.
00:48:57And, yeah, I, I don't know, but that reaction surprised me.
00:49:04Stellar, did you tell Philip that you loved him back?
00:49:07I did in my own long-winded way.
00:49:13What does that mean?
00:49:16Um.
00:49:22Philip, did you receive an I love you?
00:49:25She's just, like, sent a long-winded way of saying it.
00:49:30So, Philip has shared to you that he has deep feelings for you.
00:49:36He's falling in love with you.
00:49:37He sees a future with you.
00:49:41What specifically did that feel like for you, hearing that?
00:49:52It felt...
00:49:56This can't be true.
00:50:04What's it going to take for you to believe Philip?
00:50:08I don't know.
00:50:09I, I, I...
00:50:12I think...
00:50:14..I do have an amazing human as my partner who understands me.
00:50:19But the fact that he lives in Melbourne, I live in Sydney,
00:50:24this is going to be an issue for me.
00:50:28At the moment, he doesn't see Sydney as a possibility to move.
00:50:33Then, in my head, this is a breakup.
00:50:41So, from your perspective,
00:50:43Philip needs to move to Sydney or it's off.
00:50:50If I'm being honest with myself and with Philip...
00:51:00..it seems like that.
00:51:03Yeah.
00:51:22So, from your perspective,
00:51:24Philip needs to move to Sydney or it's off.
00:51:31If I'm being honest with myself and with Philip...
00:51:41..it seems like that.
00:51:44Yeah.
00:51:49I, I see it as a catch-22.
00:51:54At the end of the whole experiment,
00:51:56you go back to Melbourne
00:51:57and I feel like I can not love a man that's going to leave with me.
00:52:03So, unless he gives me clarity,
00:52:07I can't be like, yes, I love you too.
00:52:13Philip, how does that feel to hear that?
00:52:17Um, I think that's unfair.
00:52:20Because everything from day dot is,
00:52:22I'm in Sydney, uh, this is what's happening.
00:52:25Just get on my program.
00:52:27This is it.
00:52:28It's like, this needs to happen or it's not going to work.
00:52:30That's a lot of pressure, yeah?
00:52:33The relationships come with conditions straight off the bat.
00:52:37So, it is very difficult for myself, you know?
00:52:45Sometimes she does talk to me in a certain way.
00:52:47That takes me down a peg.
00:52:50Give us an example, for instance.
00:52:53Like, questioning masculinity because, you know,
00:52:55like, me not wanting to go out after a massive week.
00:53:00And to start to turn around just going,
00:53:02well, that's very feminine, what you're saying.
00:53:08That's a very feminine thing to do.
00:53:11Sometimes you just need to go and do what you don't want to do
00:53:14because that is the masculine thing to do.
00:53:16And just saying that I'm not masculine.
00:53:21That's very harsh.
00:53:22Mm-hmm.
00:53:24It's not a masculine energy.
00:53:25It's just a go energy that women and men can have.
00:53:28To tell him that it's feminine and it's really attacking his masculinity.
00:53:33Yeah.
00:53:34I'm not sure if you're aware of the impact that words like that can have.
00:53:39I don't want to push him away, but, like, that's what kind of happens in the background.
00:53:45I start to pick on him.
00:53:47So it's like defense mechanism, I think, for me.
00:53:52I wouldn't like that to, to, I wouldn't like to deal with me in those moments.
00:54:00I have one question that pops to mind that I am curious about.
00:54:05How is the physical intimacy with one another?
00:54:10It's just not happening.
00:54:13Just not happening.
00:54:15Just a few short weeks ago, it was a very different story from both of you in that respect.
00:54:21With all the stuff mentally that was going on, I felt, like, a little bit, um, you know,
00:54:27underappreciated and all this kind of stuff.
00:54:29I'm like, well, why would I want to have sex?
00:54:30Like, I don't feel like it right now.
00:54:35The thing is, um, I'm not on any birth control,
00:54:38and he's terrified for an accident to happen.
00:54:44Oh, that's very easily, uh, solved.
00:54:48Birth control.
00:54:50Um, I don't want to take tablets, personally.
00:54:54I, um, I was, like, I was like, hey,
00:54:57if you're so terrified of, um, making someone pregnant,
00:55:00maybe just do a snip.
00:55:08So, um...
00:55:09Has anyone heard of condoms?
00:55:11Yes, I was going to say, in the meantime,
00:55:12it's very easily solved with a trip to the pharmacy.
00:55:16Condoms, yeah.
00:55:17I, oh, yeah, I don't like it.
00:55:21The reality is that there is quite early
00:55:23to be making a decision such as that,
00:55:25especially if you're thinking you want children in the future.
00:55:28They're reversible.
00:55:29They're reversible, of course,
00:55:31but it's a procedure.
00:55:32Yeah.
00:55:33There are other alternatives where you can make this work.
00:55:36Um, that really shouldn't be the factor
00:55:40to bring you guys apart.
00:55:42So it almost seems like a little bit of an excuse.
00:55:47Maybe.
00:55:48To gloss over the disconnect.
00:55:50Maybe a little bit,
00:55:53because I've just been getting thrown around
00:55:55the mental ringer, so to speak.
00:55:57Yes.
00:55:58And I'm just like, do I even feel appreciated?
00:56:00Is this someone that I should really be attracted to
00:56:02and putting my sexual energy towards?
00:56:04Because I just don't, like, I just,
00:56:06I feel sometimes that I've just taken for granted.
00:56:10That's pretty major to say.
00:56:14For me, it's just,
00:56:15I just need to feel like I'm fully emotionally wanted,
00:56:17like someone's 100% into it,
00:56:19then I can fully give 100% of myself to them.
00:56:22That's exactly what was happening early on
00:56:25from Stella, I felt.
00:56:27And sometimes,
00:56:28as this experiment's been going on,
00:56:30there's just been little glimpses
00:56:31where I've seen that she's not into it,
00:56:33uh, sometimes.
00:56:35And it just kind of gets in my head a little bit
00:56:38and I just withdraw a little bit of that attention,
00:56:40you know,
00:56:41until I get it built back up again
00:56:42and then I feel comfortable to do it again.
00:56:46You guys are at a really crucial stage
00:56:49of your relationship now.
00:56:51And the conversations that you're having
00:56:53are really, really important.
00:56:56Stella,
00:56:57before you say something to him,
00:56:59I want you to think about
00:57:01how's this going to land for him?
00:57:03How's this going to make Philip feel?
00:57:05Yeah.
00:57:06Before you deliver it.
00:57:07Yeah.
00:57:08Because my sense is,
00:57:09you might be having a few regrets.
00:57:12Has that been happening?
00:57:13Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:57:14Yeah, absolutely.
00:57:15After the fact.
00:57:15Absolutely.
00:57:16So let's try and eliminate that
00:57:17through self-awareness,
00:57:18which I know you have.
00:57:19Yeah.
00:57:21You guys have had a strong connection
00:57:23from the beginning
00:57:24and have pretty much coasted
00:57:26through all the couch sessions
00:57:27and there's a lot clearly
00:57:29that you hadn't been feeling
00:57:31like you could open up
00:57:32and talk to us about.
00:57:33So I think it's very productive
00:57:35that you have chosen to do that tonight
00:57:36and I thank you both
00:57:38for that openness.
00:57:40And with all of this to consider
00:57:42and work on,
00:57:44let's go to a decision for this week.
00:57:47Philip?
00:57:47Philip?
00:57:48So,
00:57:50there was a lot to take in.
00:57:51Yes.
00:57:52You know,
00:57:52and I'm glad that you're,
00:57:53you just kind of told me
00:57:54what's on your minds.
00:57:56With that in mind,
00:57:56I'm going to be writing Stay.
00:57:58I love that.
00:58:00And Stella?
00:58:02Do you want to go?
00:58:03Yep.
00:58:04Um,
00:58:06I wrote Stay.
00:58:11We've got work to do.
00:58:12You've got a little work to do, yes.
00:58:14That's all.
00:58:15Have a great week.
00:58:17Thank you, guys.
00:58:17You're welcome, guys.
00:58:18Thank you, guys.
00:58:19Good luck.
00:58:25That's very true.
00:58:26Yeah.
00:58:29Yeah.
00:58:30Self-preservation comes in.
00:58:32Of course.
00:58:33In maybe a little bitch.
00:58:36Sorry.
00:58:49Coming up.
00:58:51Jules.
00:58:52Jules.
00:58:53Tonight's dramatic conclusion.
00:58:56Don't touch me.
00:58:58I'm out.
00:58:59I'm out.
00:59:00I want to go back in and finish the commitment.
00:59:02No.
00:59:02No.
00:59:12Last stop on the couch, Juliet and Joel.
00:59:22Hello.
00:59:24Hello.
00:59:24Hi.
00:59:25Oh, you too.
00:59:25Hello.
00:59:30What's happening?
00:59:34What's happening with you guys?
00:59:36Last time at the commitment ceremony, Juliet, you wrote a stay, and Joel, you had written leave.
00:59:43And there's been quite a turn around.
00:59:47And there's been quite a turn around.
00:59:49Perfect couple alert.
00:59:53Shaky.
00:59:54Shaky last time.
00:59:55It was shaky, yeah.
00:59:56It was really shaky.
00:59:57Um, we hit rock bottom.
01:00:00Um, but, um, I think we've made quite a comeback.
01:00:04I have to say, I, um, I wasn't expecting such a strong, quick turnaround, because the things
01:00:11that were said were so strong, um, that I can see how it would have been difficult to
01:00:17come out of that space, especially for you, Joel.
01:00:21Well, yeah, like, what happened was, the following day, um, Juliet came into my apartment, and
01:00:28she was crying, and she apologised again.
01:00:32And I really felt like it was heartfelt, and, um, I accepted her apology.
01:00:38It was like a reset button.
01:00:41And so, yeah, we went pub crawling.
01:00:45This is what, you know, a couple of beers and a palmy does.
01:00:50Yeah, so, um, as we progressed through the pubs, um, there was a certain warmness that
01:00:57was brewing.
01:00:59And then we went back to the apartment, and vibes were good.
01:01:02One thing leads to another, and, uh, a bit of hooking up, you know?
01:01:07It's a little bit of hooking up.
01:01:08It's a bit of hooking up.
01:01:10Such a go.
01:01:11And that was nice.
01:01:13I think we had a lot of KISS chemistry.
01:01:15The KISS chemistry was strong.
01:01:17Yeah.
01:01:18Yeah, it flipped.
01:01:19Like, I feel like the next day, we both kind of texted each other, and we're like, what
01:01:23was that?
01:01:24Like, I, I, yeah, I completely saw Joel in a completely different line.
01:01:30Started feeling like I could trust him, and I could feel like I wanted to be close with
01:01:34him, and, like, kind of, yeah, touch his leg, and, like, yeah, I guess, when we did
01:01:39retreat, I was like, why don't we give it a crack?
01:01:41Like, why don't we sleep in the same bed and see if there's chemistry inside the bed?
01:01:46And, yeah, it feels like he was, like, giving protector energy, which is another thing I'm
01:01:51attracted to.
01:01:52I think, like, Joel is brilliant in so many ways.
01:01:57There's just, you know, in a time of crisis when I'm feeling like I'm in a situation, I
01:02:06just hope that I would have more of a rock by my side.
01:02:12When did you need that from Joel specifically?
01:02:15When we had the dinner party, um, you know, when I was apologising to Beck and Danny for
01:02:23my crude words, um, I feel like the conversation was going on a lot longer, and I kept trying
01:02:32to apologise, diffuse it, diffuse it, diffuse it, and, um, I just kind of wanted Joel in
01:02:37that moment to just be like, look, she's apologised and taken accountability.
01:02:41Like, I think we can take a pause.
01:02:43And so I just kind of feel like I was fighting for myself a little bit, and I admire how
01:02:49Danny
01:02:49was standing up for his wife and being there by Beck's side, and I see Scott do it for Gia
01:02:55as well, you know, multiple times, and David doing it for Alyssa, and, and I just feel like
01:03:03I just didn't get that.
01:03:09What do you say to that, Joel?
01:03:11I felt like Danny and Beck were respectful to Juliet.
01:03:17I felt like they were giving her a fair shake.
01:03:21So I didn't feel the need to step in.
01:03:24If they were coming at her and attacking her and hurling insults at her, I would have stepped
01:03:30in.
01:03:31I just didn't see that.
01:03:32And I think Juliet has a different perspective on what happened.
01:03:41From everything that happened last week that was called out by Joel, because he was on
01:03:47the receiving end of that, why did you call Beck the names that you called Beck?
01:03:55Why choose again to use very aggressive, very vicious, very vile deliveries towards somebody
01:04:04else?
01:04:08I guess what I saw was the exact same behavior, simply a different target.
01:04:15So why choose to go there again?
01:04:23Honestly, I've seen Beck say much, much worse in the same category multiple times to multiple
01:04:32people here.
01:04:33We're not talking about ex-behavior or about Beck.
01:04:35I know, but that's why I felt comfortable doing it to Beck.
01:04:37I'm talking about your behavior.
01:04:38I know, but that's why I felt comfortable saying it to Beck.
01:04:46Why do you think Beck gets so under your skin?
01:04:51Um, because I think she gets away with a lot of her bad behavior.
01:04:55Um, I haven't seen her take accountability for some of the things.
01:04:59She also claims she'll tell you one thing, and then when you address it, she'll claim you're
01:05:04lying.
01:05:05That gets under my skin, and I explode.
01:05:08Really pisses me off.
01:05:09Sorry, you called me a dumb effing and an effing freak multiple times.
01:05:16There we go.
01:05:16Point, sorry, excuse me.
01:05:18Express to me what your point is.
01:05:21This is why I feel angry.
01:05:22Because you've done the wrong thing, and you constantly say, but, but, but, but, but.
01:05:27Um, you should be careful with how much you are upset about me saying that.
01:05:35When I have screenshots of what you've said about Alyssa and David.
01:05:44Hmm.
01:05:47Vile.
01:05:48It was vile.
01:05:51It was vile.
01:05:52You said.
01:06:01I
01:06:11So I am the most expensive male escort in Sydney straight. I need to clarify straight. It's really important. I
01:06:17clarify that I
01:06:21I
01:06:21Help women of Sydney. That's a good way of describing it. That's what I do. I have a lot of
01:06:26sex
01:06:27Like every day different people every single day
01:06:31Escorting gives me such an amazing life, but it's so much harder than you think when people know you're an
01:06:36escort they just expect you to like
01:06:38Pull out all the stops like it is nothing nicer for me better than sex
01:06:42It's just having a cuddle with a movie if you ask me my sexual desires
01:06:45It's just to watch Shrek and cuddle right now. That's it, mate. That's it
01:06:49Well, I mean I have actually had that a few times where people have been like hey, do you want
01:06:52to just?
01:06:53Come around and watch Netflix
01:06:55They're they're the good jobs. We like them ones
01:06:57First official job female client was like hey, you're available. I'll give you so many dollars. Can you go shave
01:07:02your armpits?
01:07:05There wasn't a shower with a razor and foam just like scrubbing away
01:07:10battling I
01:07:11Went there and I was like, so what do you want to do? Yeah
01:07:13And she's just I just want to smell your armpits, and I'm pretty ticklish. Yeah
01:07:17I'm gonna have to lock in here
01:07:19I like I
01:07:20Anyways, I lay there like my hands on my head. Yeah, I don't know like if you've ever had your
01:07:24armpits like licked and like muscled
01:07:26but that
01:07:28It actually felt really nice
01:07:30Yeah, right
01:07:31I remember walking out the hotel room like is this what it's about because like I can do this
01:07:35And that's not even scratching the surface and the sort of wild stuff that I've done in Sydney
01:07:38I come from this background of farmers and I grew up riding horses and my additional my
01:07:43Grandparents are butchers. Yeah, and all of a sudden I'm getting my armpits smell. I'm just like what's going on?
01:07:49How's it wound up to this way? Like where did it go wrong? Yeah, I get obsessed with it
01:07:53Yeah, so I sort of started studying it and be like how can I be the best give me some
01:07:58pointers. What do you see my reviews online?
01:08:00Oh
01:08:01They come straight up. Yeah
01:08:07I
01:08:07Don't think I've ever met someone with as many tattoos as him. I know yeah, it's a scary look for
01:08:11me though. Just got out of prison vibes
01:08:15They're so expensive to have your full body done like that. It's like tens of thousands of dollars
01:08:20Obviously, he's got a lot of money like he works for one hour and then he makes all that cash
01:08:24like that's crazy
01:08:25Take me a couple weeks. You imagine like it's how much we own in a month in like a couple
01:08:31of hours
01:08:31Don't even talk about it. I'll get sad. What about dating a guy like that?
01:08:34I don't know
01:08:35I think it'd be quite hard to start a family when you know you're doing that sort of work, right?
01:08:39I was brought up in such a traditional family like mama would say no
01:08:46And obviously if you want to meet someone the first thing ever tell them is this is the issue
01:08:52Recently I was dating and when she approached me I was like listen
01:08:55I'm an escort like full-blown escort. Yeah, I can't hide this and she was called it to start with
01:08:59and then when the feelings get involved
01:09:01100% yeah, I need to go to work. Yeah, and I'd come back from work hate myself
01:09:05Be in the shower for an hour for me like sex is like it's like the most intimate thing you
01:09:10can do with someone
01:09:11You know what I mean like you never really?
01:09:14Attached a price tag or something like that such a lonely life. Yeah, do you want to have like a
01:09:19family?
01:09:20I'm looking for the moment. Yeah, I never thought I'd say these words, but like I genuinely
01:09:25Want to find someone maybe stop escorting what's a week sort of look like in terms of the cash
01:09:30I charge $1,000 an hour
01:09:32Wow, yeah, so I give you example last December. I think I made a lot
01:09:42You should be careful with how much you are upset about me saying that when I have screenshots of what
01:09:49you've said about Alyssa and David
01:09:52Vile it was vile it was vile you said
01:10:08It's disgusting they expressed to me that expressed to me why I feel angry
01:10:12This is why I feel angry. What are you trying to prove?
01:10:16You get away with everything. What have I done to you personally do you try to trap me into these
01:10:23conversations?
01:10:23No, it's how you try to get into my head. I'm not I'm not talking to you about it anymore.
01:10:29Thank you guys
01:10:33And I was not part of that
01:10:37Juliet
01:10:39So how do you have screenshots?
01:10:53Gia sent them to me
01:11:00What?
01:11:04Why would you do that Gia?
01:11:06She asked what she was like, so I sent some screenshots of like conversations. I don't look great in them
01:11:11either
01:11:15And then I heard that you were excited that I was going to get up on the CC couch
01:11:20Like that's a that's such an evil thing to hope for
01:11:25She said that to Gia at the nail salon
01:11:30I
01:11:30Didn't say she's gonna get I said you said babe. I said no you said dumb
01:11:36She said you're gonna get in trouble for saying dumb
01:11:41Accountable for the way in which you spoke to me. Yeah, that's such an evil thing to hope for and
01:11:46that's why we came up with a plan of let's address the screenshots then
01:11:52This is the time to use it
01:11:58So it was a plan
01:12:01Just to be clear Gia you sent the screenshots to Juliet with the intent that it be used against back
01:12:07in her argument
01:12:10I said bad things in there too. I didn't really want them out
01:12:14It just shows that
01:12:17Me calling her a DC
01:12:21Is it shouldn't have not been out like blown up into such a big thing when she's done much worse
01:12:27I
01:12:34Wow can I please give you some insight of course
01:12:38You could not be further from the truth
01:12:43It is shocking mm-hmm that you would think that yeah
01:12:49It makes you look so much worse okay for sure then back
01:12:55It's like conscious retaliation with the purpose to hurt
01:13:03I know
01:13:10And again, you know, I'm so I'm cover it. I'm covering up so much
01:13:16I'm covering up so much. I just don't I don't think this experiment is for me. I don't
01:13:26Gia what the f**k
01:13:32Jules
01:13:34Jules
01:13:55Jules
01:13:57Talk to me

01:14:21Where are you going?
01:14:22You just completely threw me under the bus
01:14:23How?
01:14:24Yeah, disgusting
01:14:25I have to be honest
01:14:29I have to be honest

01:15:10Should we check if they're all right?
01:15:12Yeah
01:15:12Should we check if they're all right?
01:15:13Shall we all say something she's off for you?
01:15:17I feel like she's going to come back and come for me because I didn't like her.
01:15:41Screenshot, what was that?
01:15:44You are something else, man.
01:15:48Who, me?
01:15:49It's not nice to hear, but obviously, like, you know?
01:15:55I don't think we should get into it anymore.
01:15:56Bec said this.
01:15:57I'm not, like, me and Bec both said shit like this.
01:16:00This was weeks ago.
01:16:01I don't think it's a pretty gross, but, you know.
01:16:08You're going to laugh while you cry, man.
01:16:12Honestly.
01:16:14If I feel sick.
01:16:16All right.
01:16:20Look, I just don't want to keep getting f***ing light.
01:16:22I know.
01:16:29I'm out of the toilet.
01:16:30Look, I have to pee.
01:16:33I have to pee.
01:16:34Sorry.
01:16:35No, I've got to pee.
01:16:37No.
01:16:38Yep.
01:16:48Where's Juliet?
01:16:52Where's Juliet?
01:16:56Go on.
01:16:58Great.
01:16:59Okay, I'm going.
01:17:00Can you get me an Uber, please?
01:17:03Can you do mic me, please?
01:17:05Unclip this.
01:17:05No, I want to go back in a few seconds.
01:17:07No.
01:17:08No.
01:17:12No, I'm out.
01:17:13I'm out.
01:17:16I want to go home.
01:17:18And not keep copying it, man.
01:17:20I can't.
01:17:21I showed screenshots to a girlfriend who sued me.
01:17:24Like, sorry, I was talking shit about me nonstop to everyone.
01:17:28Focus is never on me and Scott.
01:17:29It's about everyone else around me and Scott.
01:17:31It's not fair.
01:17:34Oh, you're not Gia.
01:17:35Yeah.
01:17:36Yeah.
01:17:36Yeah.
01:17:37Yeah.
01:18:10Oh, you're not Gia.
01:18:14Oh.
01:18:21Come and grab a seat.
01:18:23Yes, Joel.
01:18:25It's all you, Joel.
01:18:28Oh.
01:18:33Did you speak to her?
01:18:36Juliet did what Juliet does.
01:18:38She stormed out.
01:18:40She's gone.
01:18:42Oh.
01:18:43Oh.
01:18:44Hmm.
01:18:46And that's such an extreme decision.
01:18:50Leave the experiment.
01:18:53So that's very revealing.
01:18:56What did she have to say?
01:18:59She called me a dog and a pig.
01:19:02No.
01:19:05I'm really sorry you had to listen to her call you names after you were so clearly enthused
01:19:15with what seemed to be progressed with what seemed to be progress and better direction.
01:19:20I thought I would give her a chance, right?
01:19:25I think you've been incredibly generous to her given how she's behaved.
01:19:30Joel.
01:19:31Not only towards you, but towards others in the experiment.
01:19:34Joel, you are no doubt a flamboyant and charismatic character.
01:19:40And some people might say you're an acquired taste, but what you've done throughout this experiment, you've been yourself.
01:19:48You've never wavered on that.
01:19:49And particularly what I admire about you is that you have owned everything that you've done.
01:19:57Regardless, you've never deflected it.
01:19:59You've just taken it on and said, this is me.
01:20:02I'm proud of who I am.
01:20:03You've been consistent throughout.
01:20:06You have maintained incredible integrity.
01:20:09You're to be commended.
01:20:11Thank you very much.
01:20:11I appreciate that.
01:20:13We've been sitting here watching you week after week thinking, this man is carrying so much.
01:20:21I think it would have been really hard.
01:20:24It's been an absolute pleasure having you in the experiment.
01:20:28We really wish you all the very best for the future.
01:20:33Thank you, Joel.
01:20:38Join the group.
01:20:49Where is she?
01:20:51Where's Gia?
01:20:59Where is she?
01:21:01She's gone.
01:21:03No, she's not.
01:21:05What do you mean?
01:21:07She grabbed her stuff before and she passed her over.
01:21:12You're right.
01:21:13Hmm.
01:21:20I just had a great couch session.
01:21:23Like, we have so much going for one another.
01:21:29But sometimes other girls and their bullshit can interfere.
01:21:34I'm just a bit jittery.
01:21:35I don't know.
01:21:36I don't know.
01:21:40You can't leave like that.
01:21:42Like, we're falling for each other.
01:21:47I'm not going to sit here without her, so...
01:21:49Yeah.
01:21:49I want to go get my wife.
01:22:15I want to go get my wife.
01:22:20It's all here.
01:22:22What I just read was disgusting.
01:22:25What happens when Beck comes face-to-face with David
01:22:28after those text messages?
01:22:31The comments were wild, disgusting, like mean and vicious.
01:22:34But how do you know what they were?
01:22:37We've seen them.
Comments
