00:00:00Previously...
00:00:01I'm done with this experiment.
00:00:02Stephanie and Tyson's time in the experiment came to a dramatic end.
00:00:09Our couples continued to grow and learn from the experts.
00:00:13You guys showed me that I was in the wrong very, very much.
00:00:17And while romantic progress was on display...
00:00:20You're grinning from ear to ear.
00:00:22Stella and Phillip's stalemate on who will say I love you first continued.
00:00:27A man has to say it first.
00:00:29What is holding you back, Phillip?
00:00:31It's, I don't know. Yeah, we'll see.
00:00:32Feeling hatred at times.
00:00:33Are you even listening to what I'm saying?
00:00:35Don't speak over Alessandra.
00:00:37Show some respect.
00:00:38Juliet was held to account...
00:00:40You talk in a very toxic fight style.
00:00:42You can't say sorry.
00:00:43I apologise.
00:00:44Not very well.
00:00:45And despite her choosing to stay, Joel drew his line in the sand.
00:00:50I will always treat you with kindness and I expect the same treatment back.
00:00:54Giving the couple one more week to turn their marriage around.
00:00:58Tonight.
00:00:59It's hard to say things like this.
00:01:01I definitely haven't been one to kind of lean into my feelings of emotions.
00:01:05Alessandra had a good point, yeah?
00:01:07Why can't you just verbalise it to each other, you know?
00:01:09Will Phillip finally say those magic words that Stella's been dying to hear?
00:01:15His leg is shaking. It's okay, baby.
00:01:18And then...
00:01:19Yeah!
00:01:20It's time for the annual couples retreat.
00:01:23Wee!
00:01:24Woo! Yay!
00:01:25Very, very content right now.
00:01:27How good is this?
00:01:28Our newlyweds are loving the brand new location.
00:01:32Let's get away from it all.
00:01:35And the happy couples are all singing Kumbaya.
00:01:38I feel like the group vibe's quite nice.
00:01:41Ladies and gentlemen!
00:01:42Can I have you guys over here, please?
00:01:44Until...
00:01:45It's the first night of retreat.
00:01:46We've had...
00:01:50One...
00:01:51Bad...
00:01:52Joke...
00:01:53I just wanna leave.
00:01:54Sends the retreat into meltdown.
00:01:57Stop!
00:01:57You called her a liar.
00:01:58I'm not being manipulated by you!
00:02:00What is the punchline...
00:02:02Guys, guys!
00:02:03...that will break bonds...
00:02:05She is a liar!
00:02:06I'm so sick of this.
00:02:07Stop attacking K-pop and walk away.
00:02:09...and derail the course of the experiment...
00:02:12Get me out of here.
00:02:13...forever.
00:02:14It made me feel like a piece of shit.
00:02:16It worked.
00:02:24We've crossed the halfway mark of the 2026 Married at First Sight experiment.
00:02:30And many of our couples are forming strong romantic connections.
00:02:35Working together to overcome relationship hurdles...
00:02:38...and crossing significant milestones in their marriages.
00:02:42One couple in particular...
00:02:44...is waking up after reaching an exciting new milestone of their own.
00:02:52Oh, what's so funny?
00:02:56Why are you gigging?
00:02:58So, mine and Stephen's relationship is really good.
00:03:06This is...
00:03:06Why aren't we clicking today?
00:03:08This is really bad.
00:03:10This is really...
00:03:11We're usually good at this.
00:03:14Yeah.
00:03:15Yeah.
00:03:15I know why.
00:03:17It's because it's something that we don't want to talk about.
00:03:22Big weekend that me and Rachel had.
00:03:25We're definitely moving things along.
00:03:31We haven't...
00:03:32We haven't had sex, but we've started fooling about.
00:03:37So that's fun.
00:03:39We get to talk about it and everyone's going to be asking questions
00:03:42and we're going to be saying, yeah, it was fantastic.
00:03:45What was fantastic?
00:03:50Despite sharing a positive emotional connection,
00:03:53the couple's most significant challenge so far
00:03:57has been forming physical intimacy.
00:04:00And Stephen's reluctance was highlighted during intimacy week.
00:04:10I can kiss you, Rachel.
00:04:13But I'm not too sure if it's going to make you feel something.
00:04:24Meeting with his family,
00:04:25Stephen was presented with some valuable insight
00:04:28from his brother, Dylan, and mum, Anna.
00:04:31I feel like she's like this on Steve
00:04:34and Steve's just sitting here like this.
00:04:35Yes. Yeah.
00:04:37Come on, dude.
00:04:37She obviously is really into you
00:04:40and I feel like maybe you've got to let your wall down a little bit.
00:04:45At last night's commitment ceremony,
00:04:47Stephen's newfound focus on his connection with Rachel
00:04:50didn't go unnoticed by the experts.
00:04:53Oh, look at you two all cuddled up on the couch there.
00:04:56Ooh, that's cosy.
00:04:58We noticed that.
00:05:00What's changed? What's going on?
00:05:02You know, we had a pretty good kiss
00:05:03and a bit of a chat and a cuddle on the bed last night
00:05:06so it's definitely a step in the right direction.
00:05:09Me and Rachel have developed intimacy just a smudgy more.
00:05:14It felt natural.
00:05:16Alessandra did say bring some more romance and stuff to it.
00:05:21And yeah, we both had fun.
00:05:23The girls would be really excited.
00:05:25Interrogating?
00:05:26No, I don't think the girls would be interrogating
00:05:28but there'd better be bottles of champagne or something
00:05:30because we would be wanting to pop some bottles and celebrate.
00:05:34I'm not going to go into detail but yeah,
00:05:36last night we just sat on the bed
00:05:38and we had like a really good chat about intimacy
00:05:41and then essentially Stephen had a shower,
00:05:44came back to bed and I just...
00:05:46took off.
00:05:48Yeah, you can tell the boys.
00:05:49Tell the boys.
00:05:51I can do this, hey boys.
00:05:52I made second base.
00:05:55Jesus Christ.
00:05:57I don't think he understands what the bases are.
00:06:03Stephen said for him to want to increase intimacy
00:06:07and want to go further with someone he has to have that,
00:06:10you know, emotional attraction.
00:06:12So he must have it.
00:06:13Which is really exciting.
00:06:22Very happy girl.
00:06:23Do what I can.
00:06:30Unfortunately, not everyone is happy in their marriage.
00:06:33Joel is feeling the effects from last night's tumultuous
00:06:37commitment ceremony.
00:06:38I've woken up this morning feeling pretty shit.
00:06:41The experts revealed some of the things Juliet said about me
00:06:44and that was like a knife through my heart.
00:06:47Your behaviour last night, it was mean and cruel.
00:06:54You called him a liar.
00:06:55You said he wasn't a man.
00:06:57You called him a little boy.
00:06:59You said he was embarrassing.
00:07:00And you found him unattractive.
00:07:05Is there hope moving forward with Juliet?
00:07:09I actually don't know.
00:07:10The onus is definitely on Juliet to repair the relationship.
00:07:13There's no doubt about that.
00:07:23Hey.
00:07:24Hey.
00:07:25How are you feeling?
00:07:26Been better?
00:07:31What are you feeling?
00:07:31Look, I'm just really sorry.
00:07:35I guess I didn't realise how much you were hurting.
00:07:40When I say words like that, it's when I'm really, really hurting.
00:07:44and I guess I use it as a way of releasing my pain,
00:07:51not recognising who's on the other side of that release.
00:07:55And I'm really sorry for my actions.
00:07:58I feel shit.
00:08:02I was wondering this morning what Juliet's next step would be
00:08:06and I think she took the right one.
00:08:08She came and apologised and it was heartfelt.
00:08:12Well, it was a really, really intense confronting session
00:08:16for both of us last night.
00:08:18We can all say things that we don't mean even to loved ones
00:08:21when we're angry or whatever,
00:08:23but I don't like to see you in pain.
00:08:26I accept your apology.
00:08:28Thanks.
00:08:29It's OK. It's OK.
00:08:32I was expecting him to be a lot more angrier and upset this morning
00:08:38considering how angry he was on the couch last night.
00:08:42I appreciate you forgiving me.
00:08:44I think I just need to take some time to take care of my heart as well
00:08:48in this experiment.
00:08:50It's been very emotional for you and for me too.
00:08:54But we're in this experiment together
00:08:56and I think that the best way forward
00:08:58is just to leave everything in the past, you know,
00:09:01and start fresh.
00:09:04I think this morning showed the compassionate,
00:09:07empathetic side of Juliet
00:09:08and that gives me hope for the future.
00:09:10It's not in my nature to hold grudges
00:09:12and I'm willing to let the past stay in the past.
00:09:15Forgive.
00:09:16Thanks, babes.
00:09:18And move forward.
00:09:19New page.
00:09:20Throw the old book out.
00:09:25Down the hall,
00:09:27David is still feeling blindsided
00:09:29after Alyssa's revelation
00:09:31at last night's commitment ceremony.
00:09:33David, he gives me a lot,
00:09:35but there's some things that he can't give me.
00:09:38I function at a high frequency
00:09:41and I feel like we're six weeks in.
00:09:44I'm missing that stimulation,
00:09:46that high frequency
00:09:47that I would normally get from my relationships
00:09:50to make me happy.
00:09:53Yeah, I don't like the use of the word stimulated.
00:09:56Like, I don't think, you know,
00:09:57that is appropriate
00:09:58when you're explaining that
00:10:00it's because, you know,
00:10:01you miss your friends and family
00:10:02and all the noise in the outside.
00:10:04I mean, we're all here for the same reasons.
00:10:07We all have all the noise in the outside.
00:10:09Your own experience is your experience,
00:10:11but someone on the outside listening in
00:10:13could take it differently
00:10:14because they don't know
00:10:16how you feel inside of being unstimulated,
00:10:18but if they think Alyssa and David
00:10:20are hanging out together,
00:10:21spending every day with each other
00:10:24and Alyssa feels unstimulated,
00:10:26it's like, uh, who else?
00:10:28It's like David's fault
00:10:29because he's being boring.
00:10:31I feel like, babe,
00:10:32I feel like you're overthinking it
00:10:33because I sat down in front of the experts
00:10:35and I literally said,
00:10:36this is a me thing
00:10:37and I don't know why
00:10:38you're dragging yourself into it.
00:10:40I'm really not dragging myself.
00:10:41I'm just having the conversation.
00:10:42This is a me thing, babe.
00:10:43Yeah, I understand.
00:10:44And I'm a more high-functioning person than you.
00:10:47My brain's like,
00:10:48all the time.
00:10:50Like, my frequencies
00:10:51vibrate higher than yours,
00:10:53whereas you're more chill.
00:10:54Yeah.
00:10:54You know, you're the opposite of me.
00:10:56What do you mean by your frequencies?
00:10:57Like, I'm a more louder,
00:10:59outgoing, sort of busy, sort of person.
00:11:01I feel like frequency, again,
00:11:03is the wrong with stimulation.
00:11:05That's something that I'm funny with frequency.
00:11:07You are in a foul mood today.
00:11:09I feel like...
00:11:09You are in a foul mood today, babe.
00:11:11You are taking everything so personally.
00:11:14I feel like I can't get my word across to David.
00:11:17OK, so obviously moving forward,
00:11:19I think for the lack of stimulation
00:11:22that I'm not getting in this, you know,
00:11:25in this environment,
00:11:26then I'm going to do things for myself.
00:11:28Yeah.
00:11:29You know?
00:11:29Like, obviously we do amazing dates together,
00:11:33but for me personally,
00:11:35I feel like maybe that might be
00:11:36a bit of self-care.
00:11:37You know?
00:11:38Massage, facial.
00:11:39There are other ways that I can fill my cup up
00:11:42and, you know,
00:11:44get that stimulation that I need in other ways.
00:11:46But I will always tell you...
00:11:48Yeah, no, I appreciate that.
00:11:50That's good.
00:11:53I feel like David and I are on the same page.
00:11:55I feel like he finally understood
00:11:56what I meant at the table,
00:11:58but it took him a while.
00:11:58We got there.
00:11:59We got there.
00:12:00You are hard work today, boy.
00:12:04Honestly.
00:12:13As a brand new week gets underway...
00:12:16How are you doing?
00:12:17Yeah, good.
00:12:17I'm pumped.
00:12:18Today's the day.
00:12:20I'm packing my activities.
00:12:21Our couples are preparing
00:12:23for the next step in their relationships.
00:12:26Retreat day.
00:12:26Retreat day.
00:12:28The relationship retreat
00:12:29is an exciting and important phase
00:12:31of the experiment.
00:12:32It's a chance for our couples
00:12:34to leave their normal day-to-day
00:12:36and get a fresh perspective
00:12:37on their marriage
00:12:38in a different setting.
00:12:40Getting away
00:12:40and spending time
00:12:41in a new environment
00:12:42will help breathe life
00:12:44into relationships
00:12:45that might be in a rut.
00:12:46It can help break negative patterns
00:12:48and progress the relationship.
00:12:51Going on a retreat.
00:12:52We're getting out of here.
00:12:53Don't get me wrong,
00:12:54this is a palace over here,
00:12:55but we're going to be substituting it
00:12:57for hopefully a little bit of coastline,
00:13:00a lot more sun,
00:13:01and I think it's just going to be a good break
00:13:03from whatever the experiment's been dishing out.
00:13:05I can see you've got all the essentials there.
00:13:07I've got the cards,
00:13:08I've got the games,
00:13:09I've got the football ball,
00:13:10the skipping rope,
00:13:11the booty band.
00:13:12I'm bringing another card as a game.
00:13:14I also packed astrology book
00:13:15to check everyone's mattress too.
00:13:18Yeah.
00:13:21Do you know the magician gets the hat out?
00:13:23It just keeps coming.
00:13:24It just keeps coming.
00:13:26Got uggies,
00:13:27couple warm dresses,
00:13:28couple...
00:13:29Warm, cold,
00:13:31toiletries and stuff.
00:13:31You've got all...
00:13:32Yeah.
00:13:33Got to do that.
00:13:35Oh, my God.
00:13:36Are you excited?
00:13:37I'm super keen.
00:13:39Scott and I are pretty solid,
00:13:40as usual.
00:13:41We had a really good weekend.
00:13:42I just want to get away,
00:13:43have some sun,
00:13:45relax.
00:13:46This is going to be so fun.
00:13:47Who are you looking forward to seeing?
00:13:49I think I'm a chance to meet everyone.
00:13:51I think being a later couple,
00:13:53like, they're all...
00:13:54have bonded with each other a lot.
00:13:56I'm actually excited.
00:13:57Like, when I'm in a social environment with Chris,
00:13:59it's actually when I feel closest to him
00:14:00because we both, like, love that environment
00:14:02and I see the best side of Chris.
00:14:03Yeah, it'll be awesome.
00:14:05I've got no beef with anyone.
00:14:06You've got no beef with anyone.
00:14:09I just want to steer clear of it all.
00:14:12I'm just going to sit back and watch.
00:14:13Danny and I are in a really, really good place at the moment.
00:14:16So, like, you know, I just...
00:14:17I just want to protect our peace.
00:14:19Yeah, no grenades being dropped by me.
00:14:21You sure you're not going to drop any?
00:14:23No.
00:14:23It's been a week.
00:14:24You must be getting...
00:14:25Daniel.
00:14:26Getting the edge.
00:14:27Daniel.
00:14:30No-one thinks you're funny.
00:14:32If there's drama, watch me sink back into the, like, Homer Simpson
00:14:36and into the bush.
00:14:37Like, I don't want to be involved in any of it.
00:14:40Do you reckon there'll be any news?
00:14:41I think the most interesting one will be the dynamic between Juliet and Joel.
00:14:46They might be head over heels in love by now.
00:14:48I'm...
00:14:48You never know what's going to happen on this experiment.
00:14:50Surely not.
00:14:53Across the hall, having packed for the couple's retreat,
00:14:57there's something on Philip's mind.
00:14:59What did you think of last night?
00:15:01It was great.
00:15:02It was a great little chat.
00:15:04What did you think about their feedback?
00:15:06Kind of what they were telling us?
00:15:07I love that I needed to give a high five to Alessandra
00:15:11for the same views that the man needs to say I love you first, so...
00:15:15Oh, really?
00:15:16Yeah, love it.
00:15:17Love that.
00:15:17You agree with that?
00:15:18I...
00:15:21There's something that I've been thinking about for the last few weeks.
00:15:24I think there was one thing that she did kind of say
00:15:27that I was just like...
00:15:29Oh, yeah, you're right.
00:15:30It was kind of brought forth on the commitment ceremony
00:15:33when Alessandra was like,
00:15:34I don't understand the confusion here, what's happening?
00:15:36Like, you guys are obviously feeling it.
00:15:38You were mentioning that you guys feel things
00:15:42and that you know because you know
00:15:44and you're communicating that by Morse code and looks.
00:15:47But no words.
00:15:50Yeah?
00:15:51Yeah.
00:15:51We're tiptoeing around.
00:15:53In this environment, in another environment,
00:15:55if you're feeling, then you're feeling.
00:15:57And I think that needs to be celebrated.
00:16:02It's hard to say things like this.
00:16:04I definitely haven't been one to kind of lean into my feelings,
00:16:06emotions, you know?
00:16:08So there was something that kind of etched in my mind last night.
00:16:12Alessandra had a good point, yeah?
00:16:15You either feel it or not,
00:16:16why can't you just verbalise it to each other, you know?
00:16:19If it's that obvious.
00:16:21So the hesitation was a little bit of fear.
00:16:24His leg is shaking.
00:16:25It's okay, baby.
00:16:28I haven't said this to anyone in six years.
00:16:30What if you're coming on too strong
00:16:32and it's only you feeling it?
00:16:33I had to think about what she said
00:16:36and, yeah, you are different.
00:16:40You're special.
00:16:43And I am in love with you.
00:16:50I knew.
00:16:51What?
00:16:52I knew.
00:16:53Good job.
00:16:56Of course I knew.
00:16:58Yeah.
00:16:58I can tell.
00:16:59It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out.
00:17:02It doesn't bloody take a rocket scientist to figure it out.
00:17:05And I haven't said that in a while, so...
00:17:09Where do you stand?
00:17:11Same spot.
00:17:12So what is that?
00:17:13Being in love.
00:17:15Yeah.
00:17:22Coming up...
00:17:26What's got Stella holding back?
00:17:28When we started to have those chats,
00:17:30it kind of all got very, very serious
00:17:31and that's becoming hard.
00:17:35Oh, God, I feel like I'm going to cry.
00:17:43This year, for the very first time,
00:17:46the annual couples' retreat is heading two hours south of Sydney
00:17:50to the picturesque town of Kiama.
00:17:54Located on a sprawling property,
00:17:56a stone's throw away from the coastline.
00:17:59It will be a chance for our couples to embrace nature
00:18:03and gain further perspectives in a new environment.
00:18:07And, as always,
00:18:09staking claim to a bedroom is top priority.
00:18:23It was chaotic.
00:18:25Oh, I'm fighting.
00:18:28I'm going as hard as I can
00:18:30and they're just pulling away.
00:18:33Me and my short little stumpy legs
00:18:35and everyone's seven foot tall,
00:18:37their one step is equivalent to six of mine.
00:18:43Oh, f**k!
00:18:51Oh, yeah!
00:18:54I've got it.
00:18:56Scott, he's got the...
00:18:57He's got the King's Palace up there,
00:18:59he's got the bathtub looking out here,
00:19:01sun shining through,
00:19:02bed in the middle,
00:19:03he's got a kitchenette.
00:19:05No place to like home.
00:19:06Oh, my room's pretty good.
00:19:10Coming at the perfect time
00:19:12for their intimacy development,
00:19:14Stephen has secured a secluded room
00:19:16for he and Rachel.
00:19:18So we've got the guest house
00:19:20and it's away from everyone as well.
00:19:23Sorry, son!
00:19:24Keep it up for the boys!
00:19:29Your boy did it!
00:19:30You did!
00:19:31I've delivered!
00:19:32I brought in the bacon.
00:19:34In the oven!
00:19:36We got it!
00:19:37Go, go, go, go, go!
00:19:39This is nice.
00:19:40This is so cute!
00:19:41This is a lot.
00:19:42I'm so happy, boo!
00:19:44Babe, you did so good!
00:19:48I can't believe we're on the retreat, guys!
00:19:51Woo!
00:19:52We're a couple's retreat!
00:19:53Yay!
00:19:55There you go!
00:20:00Oh, keep it clean, baby!
00:20:03We got the best room!
00:20:04Oh, this is comfy.
00:20:06Princess.
00:20:07Wow.
00:20:07Best room in the house.
00:20:08Oh, yeah.
00:20:09Very, very content right now.
00:20:11He did very well.
00:20:14Honestly, we're so lucky.
00:20:15I feel like this retreat's gonna keep me and Gia close.
00:20:19Yay!
00:20:20Inseparable, and, like, we're just here to enjoy this retreat as if it's a honeymoon.
00:20:28Hello!
00:20:33Hey, what a nice little area to chill.
00:20:35There's a little swing here.
00:20:37Oh, hiya, daddy.
00:20:38Hiya, daddy.
00:20:39Yeah, it is a pretty sweet pad, though.
00:20:41This is unreal.
00:20:42The view, like, so supported.
00:20:44Cool.
00:20:44Should be a good few days.
00:20:49How stunning is that?
00:20:52Last week was a really, really tough week, and I think this week I'm just focusing on
00:20:58having tunnel vision of just me and Joel.
00:21:01So, that's the goal.
00:21:03This is cute!
00:21:04Yeah, this is a change of events.
00:21:06Yeah, to clear the air.
00:21:08Did you?
00:21:09This is so good.
00:21:11I'm excited for you.
00:21:11No, no, no, no.
00:21:13Joel and Juliet.
00:21:14Um, wow, they've come lengths and bounds.
00:21:17I did not expect to see that.
00:21:19Uh, what is going on there?
00:21:21Are we good at the moment?
00:21:22I love this.
00:21:23Hopefully forever.
00:21:25What you're seeing is, uh, is, is genuine.
00:21:27Okay.
00:21:28Good.
00:21:29So, how are you feeling about, um, you know, a few days of the retreat together?
00:21:32Well, I think it's come at the perfect time.
00:21:34Perfect.
00:21:34I agree.
00:21:34You know?
00:21:35Um, yeah, wow.
00:21:39Yeah.
00:21:39So, this will be the first night in the...
00:21:41Together.
00:21:42...bed in...
00:21:43First night sleeping together since the first night of the honeymoon.
00:21:45Okay.
00:21:45So, uh, I think, uh, this is, uh, honeymoon version two.
00:21:49I already feel like we're very vibey with each other.
00:21:53More power to you, Queen, but, like, I don't know how you've turned it around from that dinner
00:21:56party to now, but, hey, this could be the beginning of a beautiful love story.
00:22:02Perplexed, but could be the beginning of a beautiful love story.
00:22:05Like, it feels completely different, which was what I wanted.
00:22:08It feels natural?
00:22:08It feels natural.
00:22:09Yeah, good, good, good, good.
00:22:11And you feel good?
00:22:12I feel great, yeah.
00:22:12You look good.
00:22:13Oh, good, guys.
00:22:14Yes.
00:22:14It's puzzling to me how you can go from really hating your husband at a dinner party to completely
00:22:19flipping that round.
00:22:22However, if it's genuine, more power to you.
00:22:24We're all here for love, so it might have been to kick up the butt she needed.
00:22:28You can't fake this.
00:22:29You can't fake it.
00:22:30You can't fake it.
00:22:32The bounce back of the century.
00:22:33This is exciting.
00:22:35Put your legs up.
00:22:37Don't set me flying, though.
00:22:39It's so peaceful now, you know?
00:22:41You can only hear the birds singing.
00:22:45No, I don't know what that even was.
00:22:47Was that a kookaburra or a pigeon?
00:22:51Was it a pigeon?
00:22:55As the sun sets on the first day of the retreat, our couples are coming together for the first
00:23:01night welcome drinks.
00:23:03Cheers, guys.
00:23:03Cheers, guys.
00:23:04Great.
00:23:05Woo!
00:23:07Woo!
00:23:08Woo!
00:23:10It is the first night.
00:23:11I am so excited to connect with all the couples.
00:23:14It's like being close to the real world.
00:23:18I wanted to share an update in mine and Stephen's relationship.
00:23:22Woo!
00:23:24Woo!
00:23:24So, I think you all know, like, we've had, obviously, our trying times, but last night
00:23:30as our intimacy levels increased, while we have not banged yet, yeah, we still have.
00:23:38It's really exciting.
00:23:39And, yeah, I just wanted to share that with you all.
00:23:42Yay!
00:23:42Woo!
00:23:43Woo!
00:23:47Cheers!
00:23:48Cheers!
00:23:49I've been rooting for Rachel and Stephen since day one, so I'm so, so happy that they are
00:23:54taking their relationship to the next level.
00:23:56Yeah.
00:23:56Rachel is so happy.
00:23:57Yeah.
00:23:58Like, I feel like you guys are on the right track, and I'm really happy for you both.
00:24:02Oh, great.
00:24:02Thank you so much.
00:24:03Cheers to that.
00:24:04Yeah!
00:24:05I've watched them go through this journey, and they vulnerably sat down with us tonight
00:24:10and said, hey, we're at this stage in our relationship.
00:24:13Me and Stephen, like, we've just hit this really nice trajectory, and I'm, like, I'm
00:24:18really excited about it.
00:24:19So, obviously, that was a huge milestone for Rachel to be intimate with Steve, and she
00:24:25is such a sensitive, beautiful soul.
00:24:27I'm just really happy for them.
00:24:29Yeah, I love it.
00:24:32There is so much love in the air tonight, I feel like it's the country.
00:24:37It brings people together.
00:24:38It's good energy.
00:24:39It's good vibes.
00:24:39I love that.
00:24:41That's why I love the country.
00:24:44Hang on.
00:24:45Has anyone asked how these two are going yet?
00:24:47Hey, Phillip, Stella, we haven't heard from you guys yet.
00:24:51What's going on?
00:24:52What?
00:24:52Phillip?
00:24:53Has everyone heard the news?
00:24:54What news?
00:24:55What are you expecting?
00:24:56So, when we were on the couch at the commitment ceremony, Alessandra was just saying, I don't
00:25:02get what's going on with you guys.
00:25:04You guys seem to keep doing a dance, Phil, like, with your words and stuff like that.
00:25:07Oh, no.
00:25:08And I just said, I've just got something to tell you.
00:25:10I'll go, I don't know how to say this, but I love you.
00:25:15Oh!
00:25:16Oh!
00:25:18Oh!
00:25:19Oh!
00:25:19Yeah!
00:25:20On your back!
00:25:21And you said it first.
00:25:22I said it first.
00:25:23Yes!
00:25:24Yes!
00:25:25Yes!
00:25:25Stella, did you say it back?
00:25:27It's time for Stella!
00:25:29Woo!
00:25:32Yes, Stella!
00:25:34Woo!
00:25:35Woo!
00:25:35What's going on?
00:25:36Everyone's getting along.
00:25:37It's perfect.
00:25:38It's great.
00:25:39It's time.
00:25:39It's time.
00:25:40It's great.
00:25:43It's all very nice.
00:25:45It's a fun night tonight, guys.
00:25:46Yeah.
00:25:46Fun night, yeah, mate.
00:25:49I'm just so telling what you think about.
00:25:57You know, the comment from Beck is, it's just assuming, like, we never went into detail.
00:26:02The comment's like, we did that action, and it's, you know, it's just, yeah, it's just a vulgar thing to
00:26:09say.
00:26:11We don't need to know the details.
00:26:13We don't need to know the details.
00:26:13Yeah, we do.
00:26:14Unless you want to share.
00:26:18Until tomorrow night.
00:26:21Oh.
00:26:24Yeah.
00:26:25That's just the classic.
00:26:29Beck has a very, like, I guess, like, crude sense of humor.
00:26:33To be honest, like, I'd be a bit like, oh, you know, like, a little bit frustrated.
00:26:38Sounds like, I don't want to hear about this.
00:26:40I don't want to hear about heterosexual sex.
00:26:46It made me feel, I guess, a little bit awkward.
00:26:49I mean, I'm not very, you know, open about my, you know, sex life.
00:26:59Yeah, I feel, like, a little bit awkward around Beck.
00:27:05I've felt awkward about Beck since day one, really.
00:27:07Um, look, I don't like the comments, but I, like I said, I feel like I'm just, yeah.
00:27:15I feel like I should have, could have just said to Beck, look, let's not say the, say it that
00:27:22way.
00:27:22Can we just be a bit more respectful and not say it like that?
00:27:27It's just like, we progressed.
00:27:31Ladies and gentlemen!
00:27:37Rach!
00:27:38Can I have you guys over here, please?
00:27:44Guys, I wanted to just sort of call us here tonight.
00:27:48It's the first night of Retreat and we've had I Love Yous.
00:27:52Yes!
00:27:54We've had a couple that I thought could not come back from the brink of hell.
00:27:59Bounce back!
00:28:01And we've had finger bangs.
00:28:03So, like...
00:28:04Oh, my God!
00:28:05Oh, my God!
00:28:09Oh, my God!
00:28:20Oh, my God!
00:28:24Ladies and gentlemen!
00:28:27Thank you!
00:28:30Rach!
00:28:31Rach!
00:28:32Can I have you guys over here, please?
00:28:39Guys, I wanted to just sort of call us here tonight.
00:28:43It's the first night of Retreat and we've had I Love Yous.
00:28:49We've had a couple that I thought could not come back from the brink of hell.
00:28:54Bounce back!
00:28:56And we've had finger bangs.
00:28:58So, like...
00:29:00Oh, my God!
00:29:03Oh, my God!
00:29:04Oh, my God!
00:29:05Oh, my God!
00:29:05Oh, shit!
00:29:07Oh, shit!
00:29:11Anyway, guys, I just wanted to say that I think that this has been a great night of Retreat
00:29:19night one.
00:29:20Jesus!
00:29:22Not okay.
00:29:23Not okay.
00:29:26I think we need to cheers to new friendships and getting to know each other.
00:29:31Drink up, let's go to bed because tomorrow's a big day!
00:29:33Yay!
00:29:34Yay!
00:29:41I didn't think it was funny.
00:29:44She turned something that Steven and I were so excited about telling others about and where
00:29:49we're at into a joke.
00:29:55I get why Rachel got offended.
00:29:59Bec, she speaks like that.
00:30:01It's just...
00:30:03I don't know.
00:30:04Is it necessary?
00:30:06It's not.
00:30:11You know, Rach is a sensitive girl and she opened up and we know that she wouldn't really
00:30:16appreciate that sort of sense of humour.
00:30:18So, it doesn't really matter how you mean to say something.
00:30:22If someone takes it a certain way and doesn't take it the way that you intended by saying
00:30:26it, it deserves an apology.
00:30:29Bec, a quick apology to Rach.
00:30:36Oh, Rach, I'm so sorry.
00:30:37I apologise.
00:30:38No, it's all right.
00:30:38Don't worry about it.
00:30:39No, it's fine.
00:30:40Oh, it was meant to be a bit of fun.
00:30:41Well, it's not funny.
00:30:42Like, I shared with you guys openly that we took intimacy to a new level, which is really
00:30:47important for Steven and I and you just made a joke of it.
00:30:50No, I did make a joke of it.
00:30:52Well, you did.
00:30:53Okay.
00:30:53And everyone laughed.
00:30:57Sorry if I offended you for me laughing, babe.
00:31:00It wasn't you guys who made the joke of it.
00:31:01Becs were there and made the joke.
00:31:03It's not a joke, darling.
00:31:04Yeah, sorry.
00:31:04We all celebrate you and your wins and we've been here through this and I have been here
00:31:09through this.
00:31:10You're very, very quick to turn.
00:31:15No, no, no, no.
00:31:17No, I think it was inappropriate.
00:31:19I'm with Rach.
00:31:20It was inappropriate.
00:31:21I have been here.
00:31:23My husband has been here.
00:31:25Rach, you're very quick to turn.
00:31:27I'm not having this, Bec.
00:31:28I'm not having this, Bec.
00:31:29I'm not having this, Bec.
00:31:30In that moment, she could have, like, come to me and be like, I'm really sorry.
00:31:34But instead, she wanted to turn around and make a fight out of it.
00:31:39Go fight in the mirror, sweetie.
00:31:41You're going to get more joy.
00:31:42I'm not going to scream at you.
00:31:44I have every right to sit there and say, that was not okay.
00:31:47I just made it a joke of my relationship.
00:31:50We're here celebrating you.
00:31:52It wasn't.
00:31:53It didn't, babe.
00:31:54In that moment, it did not feel like a celebration.
00:31:57It never meant to.
00:31:58We celebrate you all the time.
00:32:00That's what we're doing.
00:32:02Please stop talking.
00:32:03Jesus Christ.
00:32:04Rach, Rach, Rach, Rach.
00:32:05Yeah, cool.
00:32:06Anyway, I'm done with tonight.
00:32:08Yeah, thanks guys.
00:32:09Have a good night.
00:32:11I mean, Ho's husband's helped him get there.
00:32:13Mine.
00:32:15How do you think it got to this point?
00:32:17My husband going off the beers with him.
00:32:19Yeah.
00:32:23Get over her.
00:32:25May, she needs to calm down.
00:32:27She pops off so quickly.
00:32:29I'm over her.
00:32:31Look at her, going nuts.
00:32:33She's going off her head nuts right now.
00:32:35When Bec said that, I felt really hurt and disappointed.
00:32:42It felt vulgar and it felt just, like, I just felt like a piece of shit.
00:33:01I was so excited for a retreat.
00:33:05I just don't even want to be around here anymore.
00:33:09It just made me feel like a piece of shit all over again.
00:33:13I just...
00:33:14Don't feel that way, please.
00:33:17I just...
00:33:17We've worked so hard.
00:33:20We've worked so hard in our relationship.
00:33:24And we're on this amazing trajectory.
00:33:26And I was so excited to share it with everyone.
00:33:29I just didn't expect that someone would just stand up there and cheapen it.
00:33:36She needs to relax.
00:33:37Jesus Christ.
00:33:40She's sensitive to her.
00:33:41She's sensitive.
00:33:44Don't push anything more onto it that, do you know what I mean?
00:33:48It's just like she's sensitive to it.
00:33:50Honestly, she's just really hard work sometimes.
00:33:53Oh God, she's going off her head.
00:33:56She's going absolutely off her head right now. Look at her in there.
00:34:00She's going off her head in there.
00:34:02I have supported her all night.
00:34:05My husband is the one sitting with her husband every night,
00:34:08encouraging him to do it.
00:34:13I shouldn't laugh. She's really upset.
00:34:19I shouldn't laugh, but like what planet am I on right now?
00:34:23Like I understand, okay, your feelings are valid.
00:34:26You don't want me to make a joke of it. I'm not.
00:34:28My husband is the one that's encouraged your husband to finger bang you, darling.
00:34:31Okay, so let's just calm down.
00:34:34I'm going to get a t-shirt with finger bang across it.
00:34:36I'm going to wear it everywhere.
00:34:37Like me, who would have known?
00:34:39But I can't be bothered with it.
00:34:41Like...
00:34:46I'm so happy finally you've got some.
00:34:49You know, I'm celebrating you.
00:35:09Okay, well, we'll talk.
00:35:11We'll talk to Beck and we're going to get through it, okay?
00:35:22After last night's welcome drinks ended in emotion, Stephen is supporting Rachel as she tries to understand why Beck made
00:35:31a joke of their intimacy.
00:35:32My personal opinion is that I found Beck's comment just, look, it's disrespectful and vulgar.
00:35:41Um...
00:35:42I don't know if I believe that she was, like, intentionally trying to hurt us.
00:35:46I just think it was a very bad choice of words.
00:35:49And it was disrespectful.
00:35:50She could have just said, I'm happy for, you know, Rachel and Stephen that they've increased their intimacy over the
00:35:58weekend.
00:35:58And I'm very happy for them.
00:36:00Well, it was a big thing for us to share.
00:36:02Like, we're being vulnerable with the group.
00:36:04I shared it as a celebration.
00:36:06And while she didn't do it with malice, we were a punchline in a joke.
00:36:14If Stephen and I were standing there speaking about our relationship in front of everyone in that way, go for
00:36:23it.
00:36:23But we weren't.
00:36:25It made me humiliated to being vulnerable with the group and sharing what I thought was exciting news.
00:36:33Yeah, I'm more than happy to hear what Beck's got to say, but Beck's also got to hear what I've
00:36:37got to say.
00:36:37And she's actually got to listen and understand and put herself in my shoes.
00:36:41When people have said things to her about her relationship and I understand it's completely different from what was said,
00:36:47she was quite upset and that's okay.
00:36:49Last night I got upset and the first thing she wanted to do was turn and try and fight me.
00:36:54I would never stand up in front of a group, ever, and do that.
00:36:59Because if I did that to her and Danny, I'd be six foot under and you wouldn't find the body.
00:37:05I regret telling the group.
00:37:07I regret celebrating something in my relationship.
00:37:13Oh, morning.
00:37:14Morning.
00:37:16How are we?
00:37:17I'm good. How are you?
00:37:19Good, thanks.
00:37:20You slept so good last night.
00:37:21So well?
00:37:22You sleep good in the country, don't you?
00:37:25Yeah, it's beautiful.
00:37:26How funny was last night, babe?
00:37:28It was a funny night, wasn't it?
00:37:29Oh my God.
00:37:30Full blown meltdown.
00:37:32Yeah, obviously there's a little bit of drama now.
00:37:34That drama involves me, unfortunately.
00:37:37Hopefully she can maybe just move past it.
00:37:41You need to calm down.
00:37:42What was said as a joke in jest.
00:37:45I'm a woman.
00:37:46We do that.
00:37:49Oh, what a beautiful day.
00:37:52It's like, get a personality, will you?
00:37:54Oh, hell.
00:37:59Ah!
00:38:06Go ten.
00:38:07Go ten.
00:38:08You do ten?
00:38:09Yeah.
00:38:09Great work, brother.
00:38:12I'm going to perv.
00:38:14Shirt's off, guys.
00:38:15Shirt's off.
00:38:18Yeah, baby.
00:38:19Come on, you two.
00:38:20Chop, chop.
00:38:21Chop, chop.
00:38:22Last one, guys.
00:38:24Last one.
00:38:29Come on.
00:38:31Come on!
00:38:31Cut it!
00:38:39Just the shirts need to come off.
00:38:45After an emotional night, Rachel and Stephen have taken some time away from the group to reconnect.
00:38:52Oh, I can see Rachel and Stephen having a little chit chat over there.
00:38:59Maybe something really bad's actually happened because she's walking around really upset.
00:39:04Maybe she didn't get enough attention from the announcement that she made.
00:39:09And then when I said it, it was like, oh, ding, ding, ding.
00:39:11Here's my chance to get angry at someone.
00:39:14And now everyone's going to be talking about me and there's the attention.
00:39:19You can't walk around like this all day, like...
00:39:23The joke has been amplified that much that it's actually affecting their relationship.
00:39:28Do you think Steve-O wants to be down there trying to cheer her up?
00:39:32Because, like, because he's finger banging.
00:39:34Like, me.
00:39:35It should have, it should have, it should have made her happier.
00:39:39It's made her sadder.
00:39:40He's probably thinking that.
00:39:42I'm not going to finger blast her ever again.
00:39:44I can't take the risk.
00:39:48Nothing bad actually happened.
00:39:49It's a good thing.
00:39:50It's a great thing.
00:39:51It's a good thing.
00:39:52I'm really happy for you.
00:39:53There was a joke made about a good thing.
00:39:55Yeah, a good thing.
00:39:56We just need to move forward.
00:39:57It's going to live on...
00:39:58Forever.
00:39:59Forever.
00:40:01It's just, I don't know.
00:40:03I'm going to get merch.
00:40:04I'm going to get, I'm going to get caps and t-shirts.
00:40:10Anywho, merch coming.
00:40:12I didn't really do anything wrong.
00:40:14Like, everyone knows that I did not mean that with malice.
00:40:18And then all of a sudden, it's World War Three.
00:40:20Like, what is going on?
00:40:21I don't understand.
00:40:23Merch coming February 2026.
00:40:28Oh, my God.
00:40:29Yes, Sam.
00:40:30All right.
00:40:32Will you buy my merch?
00:40:33What is it?
00:40:34What's the merch?
00:40:35It's called finger bang merch.
00:40:36Oh, my God.
00:40:37Absolutely not.
00:40:38Keep me out of that merch.
00:40:40Don't want any bad juju around me, babe.
00:40:43F*** off bad juju.
00:40:44Calm down.
00:40:45Calm your farm, bro.
00:40:48I'll send it to you anyway.
00:40:49You're going to wear it, bitch.
00:40:54I think some girls can just be a lost cause.
00:40:57The shit talking she was doing about rage on the sunbeds.
00:41:01She's already been making jokes about putting that tagline on a t-shirt and selling it as merch.
00:41:06All of it was so unacceptable.
00:41:09This is very Beck behaviour.
00:41:11She kept going on about these disgusting comments and making merch for it.
00:41:15It wasn't nice.
00:41:19I'm literally doing it.
00:41:21You're the main model in the men.
00:41:23You're so good.
00:41:25Bec is not someone I would be friends with in the outside world.
00:41:28I feel like I have a lot of empathy for her.
00:41:30She tries a lot but she just keeps f***ing it up by just thinking about herself.
00:41:36It's really quite selfish.
00:41:38It will be interesting to see how the whole Beck and Rach situation develops.
00:41:43Hopefully it comes to an end.
00:41:45But you definitely never know.
00:41:48Coming up.
00:41:49It was disrespectful.
00:41:50It was disgusting and it wasn't helpful.
00:41:52Do you know what?
00:41:52It was a joke.
00:41:53How will Beck respond to questions from the group?
00:41:58But when are you going to be accountable for repeated behaviour?
00:42:08It's the Married at First Sight retreat on the New South Wales south coast.
00:42:13And our couples are getting ready for their boys and girls nights.
00:42:20And Joel is embracing mother nature to ensure all areas are well maintained.
00:42:27And we're done.
00:42:29Woo!
00:42:31Nice and groomed.
00:42:33A social event separating our couples is an integral part of this retreat.
00:42:38It allows them to speak freely with their peers and gain some outside advice for their relationships.
00:42:45Girls are boys night.
00:42:46Yeah I know.
00:42:47You've chosen the girls.
00:42:49I've been stolen away to the girls for the night.
00:42:51I am excited for tonight.
00:42:52Hanging out with the boys.
00:42:54Whatever happened last night between Rachel and Beck.
00:42:56Do you think that that's...
00:42:57Is that still a thing?
00:42:58Is that something that's going to be spoken about tonight?
00:43:01It's definitely going to be spoken.
00:43:02Okay.
00:43:02Definitely.
00:43:03Yeah.
00:43:03Because they haven't spoken today.
00:43:05All day.
00:43:06Okay.
00:43:06They've been quite frosty with each other.
00:43:09But Beck's been pretty good with you today hasn't she?
00:43:11She has said like a few comments again.
00:43:13About how she wanted to make merch.
00:43:16Oh merch.
00:43:17Yeah she said she wanted to make merch.
00:43:18And I was like...
00:43:19I think she's just joking though.
00:43:20Like she's not actually going to make merch.
00:43:21You know?
00:43:21But it's also just like why are we still talking about this when we obviously know Rachel's
00:43:26so upset.
00:43:27Yeah.
00:43:28I'm wondering if Beck's going to apologise to Rachel.
00:43:32I think she should.
00:43:33But how many times is she going to keep saying sorry and then doing the same thing again
00:43:36to everybody.
00:43:36So like I think people are over it.
00:43:38I think people are too.
00:43:39Yeah.
00:43:41I'm a little nervous going to girls night.
00:43:44We obviously still have the hangover of last night between myself and Beck.
00:43:49I think what I really need to see from Beck tonight is like empathy.
00:43:54Like help me understand that you understand.
00:43:57But standing up for myself for some reason is hard.
00:44:02Oh this is cute.
00:44:05I'm excited for girls night.
00:44:07I think it's going to be a fun night.
00:44:09And I think everyone seems to be in a pretty good place.
00:44:12So I don't know if there's going to be any argy-bargy.
00:44:15Woo!
00:44:16I feel like Rachel has put a bit of a cloud over the day.
00:44:19Like I'm perplexed as to how it has affected her so much.
00:44:24It's very weird to me.
00:44:49And so what's the goss?
00:44:50How is everyone else's relationship going?
00:44:52Good.
00:44:53The double J's?
00:44:54I know the double J's.
00:44:55Which I love.
00:44:56J-J.
00:44:57I love a J.
00:44:59Honestly, like I'm so shocked at the turnaround about our emotional connection.
00:45:04I've only shared a bed with Joel once since starting the experiment.
00:45:08So last night was the second time.
00:45:11Nice.
00:45:13Yeah, so look.
00:45:14Vibe check with Juliet.
00:45:16Vibe is good.
00:45:17Juliet and I had some romance last night.
00:45:19We shared some kisses.
00:45:20Yeah, I was excited when I saw him in his get up tonight and the clean shave.
00:45:24And I was like, hotty-potty.
00:45:26Come on.
00:45:27Yes!
00:45:28Cheers for that.
00:45:29Cheers.
00:45:31Cheers for that.
00:45:32Cheers.
00:45:33Cheers.
00:45:33Let's celebrate Stella and Phillip.
00:45:36Where we are with Phillip, it was obvious obviously how we are.
00:45:39Like we obsessed with each other.
00:45:41We're so affectionate.
00:45:42We do plan our future together.
00:45:44When we started to have those chats, it kind of all got very, very serious.
00:45:47And falling in love, as I realised, when it's a right person and when I think you're
00:45:54ready, it's not that hard.
00:45:56What comes after that's becoming hard?
00:46:00Oh God, I feel like I'm going to cry.
00:46:02Aww.
00:46:04Good.
00:46:06Because the way I look at him, I do want him to be my forever partner and I do really
00:46:10want to work on those things to that level.
00:46:12Yeah.
00:46:13But it's so much more deeper and that's what I'm dealing with right now.
00:46:17Fear of rejection.
00:46:18Not rejection.
00:46:18Abandonment.
00:46:19Right.
00:46:19So I'm dealing with that right now.
00:46:21Okay.
00:46:23My parents had me extremely young.
00:46:26My dad then left to live in the UK.
00:46:32My role models and the people who raised me is my grandmother and my auntie.
00:46:36Growing up in Lithuania shaped me to be quite independent.
00:46:42Even though that I know I'm craving connection.
00:46:46Like I know I'm craving connection.
00:46:52That's me getting teary.
00:46:57You just realise that it's a self-protection preservation.
00:47:02Initially I wanted to kind of distant myself.
00:47:06And I was like, why do I want to distant myself from this human?
00:47:09He's such a beautiful human.
00:47:11Yeah.
00:47:14Why do you think this is coming up here?
00:47:17Is it because things are getting serious with you and Phil?
00:47:21That is the only reason why it's coming up.
00:47:23Because it is getting serious and that is a coping mechanism for me to
00:47:28maybe staying in a protective mode of not getting hurt if, you know,
00:47:33people decide to leave.
00:47:35Yeah, that's I guess my trauma response.
00:47:40So, yeah, it's a lot more than just, oh yeah, I'm in love, you know?
00:47:46Thanks for sharing.
00:47:47We love you.
00:47:47I know.
00:47:48I didn't expect to cry to be honest.
00:47:50I want to give you a hug.
00:47:51I thought I was like, I'm a crier, but when it hits it, it is.
00:47:55You needed it, babe.
00:47:56We love you.
00:47:57We love you.
00:47:58We love you.
00:48:02So, Stephen and I are really good, as I shared with you all last night.
00:48:06And the intimacy with Stephen and I has increased, which is really, really exciting.
00:48:12And even though, you know, last night ended the way that it did,
00:48:15it's actually brought Stephen and I a lot closer even though.
00:48:18That tends to happen.
00:48:19That tends to happen.
00:48:20He really had me.
00:48:21And, like, he could see how upset I was.
00:48:24And just being able to come and support me.
00:48:26And even though I was, like, breaking down, like, he just, he had me.
00:48:31And I've just, I really appreciated that in a partner and, like, you know, going to bed and, like, getting
00:48:36really worked up.
00:48:37What?
00:48:37He's, like, swimming here, like, he's, like, holding my hand and he's just, like, Rach, I just need you to
00:48:42breathe.
00:48:43Just breathe for me.
00:48:45In that moment, I feel like coming here has really helped me value those small moments with Stephen.
00:48:54She's, she's been hysterical, been the same way all day today.
00:48:59And it's, like, what are you on about?
00:49:01Ugh.
00:49:05Everything's really, really good.
00:49:07So I'm, I'm very happy.
00:49:09Stephen makes me really, really happy.
00:49:10We're so mixed.
00:49:12And, like, and silver lining that last night has brought you guys closer together.
00:49:15That's really lovely.
00:49:16That's definitely the silver lining of it.
00:49:18Yeah.
00:49:18While last night should not have happened at all.
00:49:21Um, it is the silver lining.
00:49:23Yeah.
00:49:23And I do appreciate that I have an amazing husband who is able to support me.
00:49:28Give it a rest.
00:49:30Relax, man.
00:49:31Get a personality.
00:49:33She's hard work.
00:49:35Rachel is hard work to be friends with.
00:49:37Being like, aren't you happy I even mentioned you in my speech?
00:49:39Appreciate it.
00:49:41Cheers, guys.
00:49:42Appreciate it so much.
00:49:46I'm going to apologise.
00:49:47She's going to go, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah.
00:49:48And I'm going to go, no worries.
00:49:50Hug her out and be done.
00:49:52Like, I'm, honestly, I'm over it.
00:49:55Yeah.
00:49:55Just, I wish I cared more, to be honest with you.
00:50:03Girls night and boys night is well underway.
00:50:05And the dramatic end to last night's welcome drinks is on everyone's mind.
00:50:10Steve, how did you feel about Bec's comment yesterday?
00:50:14What did it, how did it sit with you?
00:50:16Yeah, so, with Bec's comment last night, everyone saw it really upset Rachel.
00:50:23Yeah.
00:50:24Like, severely.
00:50:25And what made the situation sort of worse was not just the comment, it's just, I think,
00:50:30the reaction of Bec.
00:50:31It really upset Rachel.
00:50:33So, do you think she's blown it a bit out of proportion?
00:50:38Not to put words in your mouth.
00:50:39I'm just genuinely asking.
00:50:41Personally, personally, I didn't think she'd be that upset, to be honest.
00:50:45Like, I understand the walking out.
00:50:46I understand the walking out, because it's in the heat of the moment.
00:50:49I really want to get an answer.
00:50:50Do you think she'd blow it out of proportion or not?
00:50:52Yes or no?
00:50:53I don't think she did, because this means so much to Rachel.
00:50:57And speaking to the group, and getting the feedback from the girls, you guys, this progress
00:51:04means a lot to Rachel.
00:51:07I did need to stress to the boys that Rachel was really upset by this, and this was special
00:51:14for her.
00:51:15Doesn't matter what you think about it, she's upset by it.
00:51:18You gotta take that on board.
00:51:19It's not about, you're the spectator.
00:51:21This was aimed at her, so they need to understand that as well.
00:51:25Steve-O, did you find it funny?
00:51:28Be honest.
00:51:29Be honest.
00:51:31Look, I know that Bec didn't have ill intention.
00:51:36She wasn't attacking the relationship.
00:51:38I believe it was just a case of really poor judgement, poor choice of words, probably
00:51:43looking for a little bit of a laugh.
00:51:45You didn't answer the question, did you personally find it funny, or how did you find
00:51:49it?
00:51:51I didn't, look, I didn't find, me man, I don't find it, I don't find it, I don't
00:51:57find it funny, like it's just, it's just a, you know, poor comment.
00:52:01I just wanted to get your opinion on it, because that's sort of the common theme with Rachel,
00:52:05that she blows things out of proportion.
00:52:13So Rachel, I wanted to obviously address like, I think we should start off with you,
00:52:17tell me how you feel, like towards me, about it, talk to me.
00:52:22Bec, you humiliated me in front of the group last night.
00:52:25Yeah, okay.
00:52:25I felt like, whether it was malicious or not, you built it up, and you made the intimacy
00:52:32progress between Stephen and I, a punchline and a joke.
00:52:36Right.
00:52:37And then I sat there and was like, you've just made a joke of it, babes, like I didn't
00:52:41appreciate that, and you instantly turned.
00:52:43I just kind of said to you like, this hurt my feelings, and I got the I'm sorry, I've
00:52:52got to be honest, I feel like you were just saying sorry because I brushed it off.
00:52:55I left because I was humiliated.
00:52:58Right, okay.
00:52:59And my relationship is not a joke.
00:53:01No.
00:53:02And that's why I was so upset, because I was like, that's my friend up there, and that's
00:53:09why I left, because I was humiliated.
00:53:11I think the thing for me, Rach, is that I thought that you would know, like, it was
00:53:17not meant to be, um, mean towards you.
00:53:21It was actually just a throwaway comment, and it was the wrong wording.
00:53:26And I apologise to you for the wrong wording that was used.
00:53:30I did not think that it would be as big of a deal as it was.
00:53:33I never would have said it.
00:53:34It is a big deal, though.
00:53:35I never would have said it.
00:53:36It's happening to you, Bec.
00:53:37It's happened to me.
00:53:38I understand.
00:53:38I never would have said it.
00:53:40It's a bound to situation, and I do apologise, but you can...
00:53:43It was disrespectful.
00:53:43The word thing about it.
00:53:44It was disgusting, and it wasn't...
00:53:45And do you know what?
00:53:46It was a joke.
00:53:47You know that I support you and Stephen.
00:53:50Do I?
00:53:53You think it's intended with malice, and it wasn't.
00:53:55I never...
00:53:56I have said repeatedly, the joke was not intended with malice.
00:53:59Never.
00:53:59But when I told you you hurt my feelings, you turned on me instantly and wanted to fight.
00:54:04Yeah, because Rach, every two seconds you're angry at me.
00:54:06The majority of our relationship...
00:54:07No, that is a lie.
00:54:07But when are you going to be accountable for repeated behaviour?
00:54:11It's a pattern now.
00:54:12It's like how many times are you going to do the wrong thing and say sorry?
00:54:15Sure.
00:54:17I feel bad for Rach.
00:54:18Thank God us girls are there to listen to her and make her feel validated for her feelings,
00:54:23which are very normal.
00:54:25I think Beck needs to face the music.
00:54:27You can't do the things you're doing and not take accountability for your actions.
00:54:31You can't throw shit that you're throwing and not take the full force of consequences.
00:54:36I just don't think that's fair.
00:54:38Let's call bullshit, because if you support the relationship, why are you going around at the pool
00:54:43with Julia and I saying you want to get merch?
00:54:50It was a joke.
00:54:51No, but you carried the joke on to the next day.
00:54:54That was bad.
00:54:55That part was really...
00:54:56Yeah.
00:54:56You can't be sorry, but then carry it on the next day and like keep going.
00:55:00It's one thing to do the wrong thing last night and apologise, but Beck took it on a whole
00:55:05another level by talking about it all day and she tried to cover her ass saying,
00:55:09Oh, you know, I take accountability. I'm sorry for what I said last night.
00:55:13Okay, but be sorry for what you said continuously throughout the day.
00:55:16You're not sorry.
00:55:17Why did today you kept making jokes about the merch?
00:55:20Because it was a joke.
00:55:21I didn't understand that that was the level of her feelings.
00:55:24I thought she was upset about one word that was used.
00:55:26But you knew that.
00:55:27You said this morning, Rachel's upset and she needs to get the f*** over it.
00:55:31I thought she was overreacting.
00:55:32And you're gonna f*** wear it, b***h.
00:55:34It was a joke.
00:55:35You said that.
00:55:35But be a cannibal for the whole thing.
00:55:37It was said once and it was a joke.
00:55:38It was said once and it was a joke.
00:55:38But be a cannibal for the whole thing.
00:55:40Not just...
00:55:40I didn't know that you were so upset, right?
00:55:43Guys, that's enough.
00:55:46I'm hurt.
00:55:48I'm the one you're talking about and it's disgusting.
00:55:52Stop talking about it.
00:55:54I just...
00:55:58You humiliated me, Bec.
00:55:59Yeah.
00:56:00And I know you're apologising.
00:56:02And honestly, like I said to you...
00:56:04Let's just be civil and you don't have to be my friend.
00:56:05Let her talk.
00:56:06We don't need to have...
00:56:07It's fine.
00:56:07You don't need to worry about it because you would only worry about it if it was your friend.
00:56:11It's fine.
00:56:11Like, I get it.
00:56:12But this has got to stop.
00:56:14We can't keep having these apologies, Bec, around this kind of stuff because...
00:56:18I apologise to Alicia and I apologise to Joel.
00:56:20Yeah, but aren't you sick of apologising, babe?
00:56:24Alyssa, I need to apologise to you because my delivery of what I said to you was unacceptable.
00:56:31The way I spoke to you last night, I need to take accountability for how cruel I was.
00:56:37Obviously, like, I came in really angry last week.
00:56:40Yeah.
00:56:41I was angry.
00:56:42Yeah.
00:56:43And I came in here and I dropped bombs on everyone and I do apologise.
00:56:48I'm genuinely sorry that your name has been brought up because at the end of the day,
00:56:53we shouldn't be talking about your relationship anyway.
00:56:56Bec, this is two weeks in a row.
00:56:58Why are you talking about their relationship?
00:57:01Do you know what?
00:57:01You're right.
00:57:02I know I'm right, but what I don't know is why you're doing that.
00:57:07Thank you for apologising.
00:57:09Thank you for apologising.
00:57:09But again, my concerns is in, sure, the repeat behaviour.
00:57:14Bec's always saying, sorry, I didn't mean it.
00:57:16Rachel's trying to address the reoccurring behaviour.
00:57:20When is she going to wake up and just think before she speaks?
00:57:25I honestly feel like, honestly, last night I was like, my number was up.
00:57:29It was my turn to be put to tears by Bec.
00:57:32Sure.
00:57:32And I'm kind of like, when does this behaviour change?
00:57:35When do the I'm sorry's actually become real?
00:57:42I'm out of here.
00:57:44I am.
00:57:45I don't want to see you.
00:57:46You should have to go.
00:57:47Oh, it's fine.
00:57:47I'm f***ing good.
00:57:49Come back.
00:57:49Can you come back?
00:57:56You can't go around and consistently talk s*** about everybody that you're friends with,
00:58:00and they get mad that they have a reaction to what you're doing.
00:58:03It's not okay.
00:58:04And I think, again tonight, is another example of Bec's new target getting pissed off,
00:58:11and her not handling it and walking off like a PR move.
00:58:13This is what she does.
00:58:14There's nothing more to say.
00:58:18Get me the f***ing card up here now.
00:58:19Don't leave Baba.
00:58:20Get me out of here.
00:58:21Don't leave.
00:58:22Now.
00:58:28Boring s*** s*** s*** s***.
00:58:41Danny, how are you and Bec going?
00:58:43Like, honestly, it's just gone from shramp to shramp.
00:58:46It's proved you can build sexual chemistry.
00:58:48you can work through really hard problems.
00:58:51You can talk for hours and solve complex issues.
00:58:54It's taught me so much that, like, me and Becca,
00:58:58at this moment in time, we're in a really good place.
00:59:00Daniel!
00:59:02Here she is.
00:59:03Oh, what?
00:59:04I'm speaking of the devil.
00:59:05Jesus Christ.
00:59:06She was speaking of the devil!
00:59:08Speaking of the devil.
00:59:09And she's in red!
00:59:11You couldn't make it up.
00:59:12I'm sitting by the fight. It's been peaceful all night.
00:59:14Next thing, a silhouette of Becca comes out of the horizon.
00:59:19And the next thing, ambas start flowing into my face.
00:59:23The smoke's in my eyes, bellowing in my eyes.
00:59:26We all said Becca into the fire three times.
00:59:32What happened, Becca?
00:59:33Wait, I need to grab him for a second, please.
00:59:36Oh, God.
00:59:38Clearly there's been some drama at girls' night.
00:59:41If Becca's rolling up, dragging me out of there, how are we?
00:59:46Not good.
00:59:50You have no idea what I've just gone through.
00:59:53What just happened?
00:59:55What just happened?
00:59:56We just...
00:59:56I was about to hug it out.
00:59:57We just lost a man.
00:59:59Okay, so I'm just going to fill you in quickly,
01:00:01because I've left girls' night, obviously,
01:00:04because it was just, like, a gang up completely.
01:00:08Um, basically, I'm just letting you know, Rachel got up and she goes,
01:00:12last night was the most humiliating night of my life.
01:00:16I have been made to be my relationship is a joke and I have never felt so upset and humiliated
01:00:26in my life.
01:00:28She's just sitting there, like, hysterical, being like, it's you, you need to change your actions.
01:00:34Right, right, I was just like, all right, like, whatever.
01:00:40It was like, the worst thing that's ever happened to anyone.
01:00:43Rachel is still upset, grow up, it was a passing comment, grow up, move past it.
01:00:51And Gia was like a dragon, breathing fire, wouldn't look at me.
01:00:59And Juliet came at me.
01:01:01But, like, it was no point tonight, babe.
01:01:03Like, they were just, it was just all, like, me, at me.
01:01:07And that's fine, like, I can handle it.
01:01:09Like, I'm not upset about it.
01:01:11But I just wanted to tell you what happened and, yeah.
01:01:15I feel a bit frustrated, to be honest,
01:01:17with finding out what's going on at girls' night,
01:01:19because it seems like a gang up.
01:01:22And ganging up on someone, I don't think that's right, to be honest.
01:01:27I'm pissed off at Steve-o.
01:01:29He's a f***ing officer. I've helped her, Blake.
01:01:32He's a cherry case.
01:01:34You don't, you don't need to, you don't need to have an argument with him.
01:01:36Let me have it.
01:01:37No one attacks my wife and gets away with it.
01:01:39Not without me being there.
01:01:40If you're gonna attack her, we'll have the big boss there.
01:01:43What's all that about?
01:01:45Who, it's like someone kicking your little brother.
01:01:47And he kicks me apart.
01:01:50F*** that s*** pisses me off.
01:01:53Like...
01:01:54Oh, she's foul, man.
01:01:59Let's do a chat.
01:02:00Let's do two-on-two.
01:02:01And let's have it like men.
01:02:07Hey, fellas, it looks like there's a storm.
01:02:09Do you want to do it? Let's go, let's go.
01:02:11Great. Let's go, let's go. Get heavier.
01:02:14Let's go, boys! Let's go! Let's go, boys!
01:02:17Quick!
01:02:19Oh, oh!
01:02:19Steve-O, can we have a chat with you, me and Bex?
01:02:22Oh!
01:02:23Sorry, guys, can you all go?
01:02:25Because we're going to have a chat. Is that okay?
01:02:26Oh, I'd love to stay.
01:02:28I guess we'll go.
01:02:28That's okay.
01:02:29What if we should go to the Miranda?
01:02:31Yeah.
01:02:32I really like that.
01:02:33Where's... is... is Rachel... can we get Rachel?
01:02:35But let me just explain to you.
01:02:37I think we get Rachel before you explain.
01:02:39Okay.
01:02:40I think we do.
01:02:40Come on.
01:02:41Go get Rachel.
01:02:42Let's go get Rachel.
01:02:43Okay.
01:02:44Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
01:02:49I'm really happy with girls' night.
01:02:50Yeah.
01:02:51Yeah, it turned around.
01:02:52I just really hate that Bex's not here for this.
01:02:55Yeah.
01:02:55Because I think... I think it would have been...
01:02:56No, no, no, no, no.
01:02:57Regardless of what happened at the start of the night,
01:02:59it's a shame that she missed this bit.
01:03:01And it's really sad that one of us is not here.
01:03:03But, Bex, she chose to leave.
01:03:04No, I get that.
01:03:05But regardless, it would have been nice if she was sitting here
01:03:08having these moments with us.
01:03:09And she can another day when things will feel better.
01:03:13Hey, Rach.
01:03:14Hello.
01:03:15We've got Stephen up at the house,
01:03:17and I think the four of us need to have a chat.
01:03:19Oh, okay, well...
01:03:21Let's go.
01:03:22I guess, guys, I'm leaving girls' night early.
01:03:25That's not my choice.
01:03:26Fantastic.
01:03:27You don't have to go, Rach, if you don't want to.
01:03:29No, it's fine. You guys have pulled me out.
01:03:30I'm coming.
01:03:32Well, I don't think that this is actually really fair.
01:03:34Like, anyway.
01:03:37Hold on a minute, sweetheart.
01:03:38We're coming to get you out of respect
01:03:41because we don't want to talk without you being there.
01:03:43We want to speak, all four of us.
01:03:45We don't want to speak three of us.
01:03:46So cut out the comments.
01:03:48There's no need for the bullshit comments.
01:03:51Just leave the room like a lady.
01:03:53That's fine.
01:03:54Thank you all.
01:03:54Have a lovely evening.
01:03:56Yeah.
01:03:56It's a resolution.
01:03:57Hey.
01:03:58No, well, I just...
01:03:58Anyway.
01:04:00Where's your head at, babe?
01:04:02Just come leave the room.
01:04:03Be respectful.
01:04:05Love you all.
01:04:08I don't know why you've got to make comments like that.
01:04:22The four of us need to have a chat.
01:04:24Oh, OK.
01:04:25Well...
01:04:25Let's go.
01:04:27I guess, guys, I'm leaving girls' night early.
01:04:30That's not my choice.
01:04:32Fantastic.
01:04:33You don't have to go, Rach,
01:04:34if you don't want to.
01:04:35You guys have pulled me out.
01:04:36I'm coming.
01:04:37Well, I don't think that this is actually really fair.
01:04:40Like, anyway, I'm good.
01:04:41I'll just...
01:04:42No, that's fine.
01:04:43Thank you all.
01:04:43Have a lovely evening.
01:04:45Yeah, it can be.
01:04:45It's a resolution.
01:04:47No, well, I just...
01:04:47Anyway.
01:04:48Yeah, babe.
01:04:49Love you all.
01:04:52Love you all.
01:04:53I don't know why you've got to make comments like that.
01:04:54I don't know why you've got to.
01:05:29Firstly, I want to say, Rachel, the comments you just said in there wasn't called for.
01:05:34We brought you here out of respect because we wanted to have a four-way conversation.
01:05:38So comments like that, I'm being dragged away and all that.
01:05:41No, no, no, no.
01:05:41Because of us?
01:05:42It's respect.
01:05:43Can I step in?
01:05:44Can I step in?
01:05:45Rachel, all I'm saying is we came in there polite and said, can we have a conversation?
01:05:50You didn't have to make a big melee out of it when you're leaving the group.
01:05:53We pulled you out there for respect because we didn't want to have this conversation.
01:05:57Everyone just attacked me.
01:06:02I pulled Danny aside tonight and I can hold my own, right?
01:06:05I understand that I made a comment that was a throwaway comment that as we've all agreed,
01:06:12Daniel, you and Rachel and I all agree that the term that I used was not used with malice,
01:06:22but the poor choice of words, but it wasn't done in malice.
01:06:28And you know that, you know that, Rachel knows that, right?
01:06:31No worries.
01:06:34I think what hurt me tonight the most was that you've let everyone attack me, but when
01:06:41it's okay for you because you're being backed up, everyone's allowed to do that to me, that's
01:06:46not okay.
01:06:47You have to practice what you preach, honey.
01:06:50It just felt aggressive.
01:06:52Everything's on their terms.
01:06:54It's got to happen on their time, even though the actions of Beck are what have, you know,
01:07:01caused me to feel this way.
01:07:03I'll be honest, and this is my opinion, I think you've made a mountain out of a molehill
01:07:07because you kicked off in front of everyone.
01:07:10I didn't kick off is a bit of a stretch.
01:07:12In front of the whole, did you or did you not say in front of the whole group?
01:07:15It's on camera.
01:07:16I didn't kick off, though.
01:07:17You shouted, you went to the whole group.
01:07:19I didn't kick off.
01:07:20I was like, okay, saying I kicked off is a bit, I was upset, and I said, hey, you've
01:07:24just made a joke of my relationship.
01:07:25Yeah, but you just said you didn't, what was your words, what you just said?
01:07:27I was like, you've just made a joke of my relationship.
01:07:30She said she didn't make a big deal.
01:07:31Yeah, but you did.
01:07:32Yeah, look, this means a lot to Rachel.
01:07:36It means a lot to me for you guys.
01:07:38It means so much.
01:07:40That's why she brought it up.
01:07:41That's why she sold everyone.
01:07:43That's why she, at the very beginning of the party, she brought this up.
01:07:47Then it turned into attacking.
01:07:49Then Rachel removed herself so she wouldn't make a big deal out of it.
01:07:53She removed herself from the situation.
01:07:56She was incredibly hurt.
01:07:58You guys can say and do whatever you want.
01:08:01I can have a bunch of girls come at me, and I can sit there.
01:08:05I'm sorry, at the end of the day, I'm getting so many different stories, to the point where
01:08:11I'm told I'm a joke because of the things that you've said.
01:08:14Who said that?
01:08:15Gia and Juliet, okay?
01:08:18Gia and Juliet are lying to you.
01:08:19It's a lie.
01:08:20You're saying one thing to me and said another thing to them.
01:08:24I never would have done that.
01:08:26So you've got liars, bullshitting you, and you're going to take it and then attack it.
01:08:30I didn't take any of that and lie.
01:08:31Come on, you know she's a f***ing liar.
01:08:36Steve-O.
01:08:37Do you think that what I said was said with malice because I'm confused?
01:08:42Let's see the answer.
01:08:43I'll answer the question.
01:08:44I said this to Rachel last night.
01:08:47I believe the comment was disrespectful, bad taste, just a poor choice of words and all
01:08:55of the above.
01:08:55I don't believe there was any malice behind it.
01:08:57I don't believe there was malicious content behind it.
01:09:00I said that to Rachel last night.
01:09:02But it doesn't excuse the fact that it was still disrespectful and it was still a poor
01:09:07choice of words and all that.
01:09:08Everything there still stands.
01:09:10100% and I agree with you.
01:09:11I spoke to him this afternoon.
01:09:12I sat down with him in our lounge room and spoke to him and he said, do you know what,
01:09:15Bec?
01:09:16I really love you and I really love Rach and...
01:09:18Why are you talking to my husband off camera?
01:09:23Did I know that you two had a conversation this afternoon?
01:09:26No.
01:09:27Because you didn't tell me.
01:09:29Did you speak to Bec this afternoon?
01:09:34Did you guys speak this afternoon and patch all this up?
01:09:37We didn't patch it up.
01:09:40I just said to her what I thought her comment was, was disrespectful and everything.
01:09:43Exactly everything I said just then, I repeated.
01:09:46The conversation lasted 60 seconds.
01:09:48It doesn't matter.
01:09:50I'm actually feeling a little bit betrayed a bit here, babe.
01:09:53No.
01:09:54I've got to be right.
01:09:54I'm going to stop this conversation right now.
01:09:56I do feel let down by Stephen tonight.
01:09:59I feel really let down.
01:10:00Just like you needed to leave girls' night, I now need to leave this.
01:10:05I feel quite hurt and disappointed.
01:10:08You know, we keep talking how we're united.
01:10:10We've got each other's back.
01:10:12You didn't have my back, babe.
01:10:15You didn't.
01:10:17And so now I'm kind of like,
01:10:21what else are you saying about me behind my back?
01:10:32Tomorrow night.
01:10:34No one's spoken to me at all today.
01:10:36Bec and Danny isolated from the group.
01:10:38A comment has been taken out of proportion so much.
01:10:44Wherever Bec goes, misery follows.
01:10:47And Gia and Juliet seize the opportunity to further stir up the tension.
01:10:52I do not know why she does this.
01:10:54I don't think I could ever, ever, ever trust her again.
01:10:57I respect the victim.
01:10:59Can a romantic beach date help calm Stella's anxiety?
01:11:04Has I love you been sad?
01:11:05I really would appreciate if everyone just dropped it.
01:11:08Do you think that I did this to hurt you?
01:11:11And then at the final night drinks...
01:11:14You're not understanding.
01:11:15That's it.
01:11:15Mic drop. See you later.
01:11:17Tell me you don't accept my apology or accept it and move on.
01:11:21Lingering group tension...
01:11:23You two have both done wrong by me and my wife.
01:11:24How?
01:11:25Send the retreat into turmoil.
01:11:28Let's go. Bring it on.
01:11:29I'm so sick of this.
01:11:30You're the puppeteer.
01:11:32I'm not the puppeteer.
01:11:33I'm done being manipulated.
01:11:35No one knows who you are.
01:11:35Stop manipulating me.
01:11:42You're the puppeteer.
