00:00:00Previously...
00:00:01You stay single, there's no-one out there that can ever measure up
00:00:04because you're scared of letting them in.
00:00:07The experts gave Tyson the perspective he desperately needed.
00:00:12Even just looking into her eyes, I can tell, you know, she's a beautiful person.
00:00:15Leading to an incredible turnaround.
00:00:18I really need to give this a red-hot crack,
00:00:19and I've given myself seven days to really give it my 100% all.
00:00:24Family and Friends Week saw protective loved ones...
00:00:27Is G a better version of your ex?
00:00:30...ask some hard-hitting questions.
00:00:32Is that true?
00:00:33Didn't happen?
00:00:34Never happened.
00:00:34How do we know it didn't happen?
00:00:38I am going to be a, um, done.
00:00:41Congratulations.
00:00:42As some took a massive step forward...
00:00:45I completely understand why he's doing this wonderful thing.
00:00:49You answer this one.
00:00:50So there's nothing you want to tell me?
00:00:51No.
00:00:52Juliet was left frustrated with husband Joel.
00:00:55What I need more from you is...
00:01:00And when Scott refused to delete a photo of his ex-girlfriend...
00:01:05Gia packed her bags and left the apartments.
00:01:12Tonight...
00:01:12I just want to know if you two have said I love you to each other.
00:01:18Advice from their nearest and dearest...
00:01:20I feel like you've got to let your wall down a little bit.
00:01:24...brings one couple closer than ever before.
00:01:27Coming up the other side, feeling lighter.
00:01:29It's good vibes now, yeah.
00:01:31Go on, give me the low down.
00:01:32Alyssa's friend drops a bond shell about another bride in the experiment.
00:01:37There's been a lot of chat about her trying to dig up dirt on you.
00:01:42This girl, I don't trust her.
00:01:44She has to stay away.
00:01:45Put the shoe on the other foot, Tyson.
00:01:48How would that make you feel as a man?
00:01:50What's Tyson's secret confession that threatens to undo all his hard work?
00:01:55It all just feels very wrong.
00:02:00And then...
00:02:01Look at her, stunning.
00:02:03It's like he's trying to antagonize me.
00:02:06Juliet's mood goes from bad...
00:02:08The eye gaze.
00:02:09Not gonna stand to your devil eyes.
00:02:11...to worse...
00:02:12Cause it's a performance!
00:02:13It's a metaphor!
00:02:14Cause it's a performance!
00:02:15Will one comment from Joel see her quit the experiment?
00:02:34It's the break of dawn and a lonely Scott is up early after a fight with Gia.
00:02:41She saw a photo of his ex on his phone.
00:02:45And after Scott refused to delete it, she packed her bags and left the apartment.
00:02:52Gia's pretty much just walked out.
00:02:55I haven't heard from her all night.
00:02:57I obviously thought overnight having those photos is wrong.
00:03:00I did the wrong thing.
00:03:02I really messed up.
00:03:03And there's no excuse.
00:03:04I take full accountability for this.
00:03:06I was just being stubborn.
00:03:08I wasn't thinking in Gia's behalf.
00:03:10I wasn't thinking about putting myself in her shoes, which I normally am good at that.
00:03:13So, I just went through everything I possibly could find of my past, selected, deleted 547 photos, and I got
00:03:20rid of them all.
00:03:23And despite Scott telling Gia he's deleted the photos of his ex, he is still yet to hear from her.
00:03:36As this year's Family and Friends Week approaches the halfway point, more of our original couples will be connecting with
00:03:45their loved ones.
00:03:46I'm excited.
00:03:47I'm ready to mingle.
00:03:48Yeah.
00:03:49Yeah.
00:03:53It's time for our couples to get some feedback from the people closest to them.
00:03:58Their family and friends.
00:03:59But I'm going to put the earplugs in when you, uh, met your friends.
00:04:03Not that loud, Steve.
00:04:05Oh, it's an exciting moment.
00:04:07The couples have been living in the bubble of the experiment.
00:04:10So, hearing the perspectives of their loved ones will help solidify their feelings and force them to re-evaluate the
00:04:17future of the relationship when they leave the experiment.
00:04:21All right, shall we?
00:04:25Today, the first couple to see their loved ones is Stella and Phillip.
00:04:31So, how are you feeling about...?
00:04:33I'm excited!
00:04:35It's going to be so much fun.
00:04:37Joining them are Phillip's friends Ryan and Bents.
00:04:41Hey, thanks for making it out.
00:04:43Hey, good to see you.
00:04:44Hi!
00:04:45And Stella's bridesmaid, Layla.
00:04:48Look at you!
00:04:48Look at you!
00:04:49Oh, sorry, thank you everyone!
00:04:52I know!
00:04:52Look, blue, blue, blue!
00:04:54Layla, you did grill Phillip, didn't you?
00:04:56Can you tell me what happened?
00:04:58I did!
00:04:58I feel so bad.
00:04:59I grilled Phillip so bad at the wedding.
00:05:03During Phillip's vows, Stella's best friend Layla had concerns.
00:05:07I'm a carpenter, but I'm also an online health coach, a YouTuber.
00:05:12And Layla pulled Phillip aside to understand his intentions.
00:05:17The fact that you've come here and made mention of your beautiful online business and how big your presence is
00:05:22online.
00:05:23It's not big.
00:05:24It's just my outlet.
00:05:25Correct.
00:05:26But Stella didn't come here and talk to you about her business.
00:05:29It just adds to my story as how I changed my life.
00:05:31I don't care.
00:05:33I don't care.
00:05:35I'm telling you right.
00:05:35I'm going to stop you just for a second.
00:05:36You're irritated.
00:05:37Okay.
00:05:38It's okay.
00:05:39I'm just listening to what you're saying.
00:05:41No, no, no.
00:05:41It's okay, breathe.
00:05:43No, I'm relaxed.
00:05:44I'm breathing.
00:05:44No, you're getting really worked up.
00:05:46I can feel it.
00:05:46I can feel it.
00:05:47I can feel it.
00:05:48You don't have to tell me.
00:05:49I feel your energy.
00:05:50You are agitated.
00:05:52So we haven't seen you guys since the...
00:05:54Since the wedding.
00:05:55Since the wedding.
00:05:55Since the, yeah.
00:05:56Since that day.
00:05:57Yeah.
00:05:59From conversations that I've had with Stella since the wedding.
00:06:04I don't have too many concerns because from what I hear, they're incredibly happy.
00:06:08They're really getting on.
00:06:10I can't be more excited for them, which is great.
00:06:13Stella.
00:06:14Yes.
00:06:15Just in regards to Phil.
00:06:17Yes.
00:06:17How many boxes are you ticking?
00:06:19How many green ticks?
00:06:19Okay, so before coming onto this experiment, I had this note in my phone.
00:06:26Like two, three weeks in, like I literally read the list and I was like, it's ticking.
00:06:32A lot.
00:06:33Oh.
00:06:33Yeah, yeah.
00:06:33She's very, she's a very deep human being.
00:06:35And whenever she talks about anything, I tend to agree a lot.
00:06:39I'm super aligned, like with a lot, with a lot of her core beliefs and stuff like that,
00:06:42about family, where she's going, what she wants from life.
00:06:45I just keep flipping out.
00:06:46I'm like, I say something, she's like, yeah, me too.
00:06:48And then I'm, she says something, I'm like, yeah, me too.
00:06:49So it's happened like that many times.
00:06:51It's crazy.
00:06:52Yeah.
00:06:53Yeah.
00:06:54We intertwine, like.
00:06:57Incredible.
00:07:00I love, I love what just happened.
00:07:04They look happy.
00:07:05I'm, I'm really happy.
00:07:08Just, yeah.
00:07:09I love that.
00:07:09This is a question for both Stella and Phil.
00:07:12I just want to know, if you two have said, I love you, to each other.
00:07:21You can start.
00:07:23Oh!
00:07:25Yeah, yeah, alright.
00:07:27Where's that, where's that, where's that, where's that?
00:07:30I definitely feel it.
00:07:32And I say that I'm definitely starting to fall for you.
00:07:36Definitely.
00:07:37But we haven't really fully the, we're just like.
00:07:41You haven't said those words.
00:07:43We're tiptoeing around.
00:07:43But it's, it's definitely there.
00:07:45We've got a really good solid base.
00:07:46So, alright.
00:07:47And I definitely feel it.
00:07:48But no, we haven't.
00:07:50I think that we, we both know, right?
00:07:53But it's, it's just someone's, someone's holding out.
00:07:55We're both holding out.
00:07:56But look, it can, it's obvious.
00:07:58There's a lot to love about Stella.
00:08:00But I don't want to just throw that willy-nilly.
00:08:02Oh, I love you.
00:08:03I haven't said it in six years, you know?
00:08:05And when I say it, I just want to, I just want to meet it.
00:08:08We both have the power to hurt each other.
00:08:09We understand that it's serious and it's getting there.
00:08:12Who do you think will say it first?
00:08:15I think he has to say it first.
00:08:16Oh, he has to.
00:08:17It doesn't matter.
00:08:17I think he does.
00:08:18Personally.
00:08:19I'm sorry.
00:08:20I don't think there should be men should do this, women should do that.
00:08:22There is, Leila.
00:08:23We can have different opinions.
00:08:25Of course.
00:08:25Like the way I'm being brought up, that's what I learned.
00:08:28I grew up in Lithuania.
00:08:30So our life growing up is way different than people growing up here.
00:08:34Because of that, I am quite a traditional person.
00:08:38And I am expecting Philip to say it first and confess his feelings.
00:08:42Because a man should take the lead.
00:08:45I will shut my mouth until it's time.
00:08:49Hey, by the way, cheers.
00:08:50Thank you for coming.
00:08:51Thank you for coming.
00:08:52Thanks heaps for coming.
00:08:53I appreciate it.
00:08:55We feel appreciated by our closest people and looked out for as well.
00:09:01So it's a great confirmation that Philip and I, we have amazing base for family and for growth and building
00:09:09a beautiful, solid relationship.
00:09:12Yeah, it's beautiful.
00:09:20Our three newest couples have been spending this week participating in the Crash Course, which has been designed to fast
00:09:28track their relationships to catch up with the original couples.
00:09:40But for Joel and Juliet, they've had a very difficult moving in period.
00:09:46A video popped up of you that my friend sent me.
00:09:49What video?
00:09:50You playing the drums with dildos.
00:09:53That's kind of pushed me over the edge of whether or not I find Joel attractive.
00:09:59So, do you think we should go to Woolies and get some things for the apartment today?
00:10:03No.
00:10:04You just do your stuff.
00:10:04I'll do my stuff.
00:10:06She's been more moody than pleasant.
00:10:10Something you don't know about me is...
00:10:14What about you?
00:10:15You answer this one.
00:10:16So there's nothing you want to tell me?
00:10:18No.
00:10:18I know like the more I get to know Joel, the more I'll probably get the ick.
00:10:23I think you're quite cruel to me and you don't really, you know, you put me down a lot and
00:10:28you, um, I don't think you have a lot of respect for me.
00:10:31Feeling battered, I'm feeling bruised.
00:10:32I, like, I don't know what to do.
00:10:35And today the experts have given them another task to complete.
00:10:40Got a little candle going?
00:10:42Yeah.
00:10:46I feel like Joel's personality is just aggravating at this point.
00:10:50It's hard to move past him playing the drums with the dildos and really manage to piss me right off.
00:10:57Joel was so theatrical and performative.
00:11:00Definitely find it embarrassing.
00:11:02And I've been fighting the ick all week and it's doing my head in.
00:11:09I'm feeling a bit apprehensive about this task because of Juliet's lack of warmth to me.
00:11:15What's your favourite candle scent?
00:11:19I'm, I'm huge on vanilla.
00:11:25I've been treading on eggshells and nothing's working.
00:11:28She hasn't really made any attempts to grow a connection with me.
00:11:32Um, but maybe today will be the turning point.
00:11:36Maybe today will be the turning point.
00:11:39Juliet and Joel, physical intimacy can take time.
00:11:42Sometimes there is power in taking small steps to deepen a connection.
00:11:46This task invites you to build trust and grows physical connection, partaking in small steps through the eyes, the body,
00:11:52and if you're, and if you're both ready, the lips.
00:11:55Hmm.
00:11:56Hmm.
00:11:57No.
00:12:00I think it's like, inappropriate for sure.
00:12:07Yeah, I just haven't seen a lot of effort from you to grow the friendship.
00:12:11Are you serious?
00:12:13Yeah.
00:12:14There's been so much effort.
00:12:15All you've done is pushed me away since we started this experiment.
00:12:19Mm-hmm.
00:12:19Totally.
00:12:20You're pissing me off.
00:12:22Um, literally.
00:12:24I'll, I'll leave actually.
00:12:25I'm gonna go in this room.
00:12:26I'm done with ya.
00:12:31Uh, Juliet?
00:12:39Can we just read the second page together?
00:12:41Maybe it's not that bad.
00:12:42Rita, I can hear you from here.
00:12:43Sorry?
00:12:44I can hear you from here.
00:12:46I think it's better if we talk face to face.
00:12:49Why don't you just come sit down and let's read the second page?
00:12:51Cause you aggravate me, doll.
00:12:54There's no need to be aggravated.
00:12:55Yeah, say that to you before you aggravate someone.
00:12:58Okay, I'm gonna read the task.
00:13:00I'm gonna read it outside your door.
00:13:03So, step one.
00:13:07The eye gaze.
00:13:08No, not doing that.
00:13:10Don't trust ya.
00:13:12Not gonna stand to your devil eyes.
00:13:16That's not very nice, Juliet.
00:13:18I don't feel comfortable looking into your eyes
00:13:20when you've pissed me off so much.
00:13:22I've got very soft eyes, Juliet.
00:13:24Ew, stop it.
00:13:26It felt very undignified, actually, speaking to her through a door.
00:13:29Now, next.
00:13:30What's the next one?
00:13:33Step two.
00:13:34The hug.
00:13:35Absolutely not.
00:13:37You don't get the privilege to touch me right now.
00:13:39So, should we do the eye gaze?
00:13:41No.
00:13:41You don't even get the privilege to look at my eyes.
00:13:44Just don't come near me anymore.
00:13:46You've pissed me off.
00:13:52You don't get the privilege to touch me right now.
00:13:56You've pissed me off.
00:14:06You've pissed me off.
00:14:07As usual, I respect your boundaries, and, um...
00:14:09Then why do you manage to always upset me, Joel?
00:14:12If you wanna go for a walk or...
00:14:13You purposely say mean things to try upset me, and it's really f***ed up.
00:14:17Okay.
00:14:21I cannot do anything right.
00:14:23I've been so kind to her, so patient, and I think she's shown me the worst of her so far.
00:14:29And I'm done today.
00:14:30I was just trying to get to the bottom.
00:14:31We can try again after you've apologised.
00:14:33Bye.
00:14:35I'm taking everything she's dishing out, but how much more can I take?
00:14:51Our next original couple to meet their family and friends is Rachel and Stephen.
00:14:55Despite their emotional connection going strong, intimacy between them has been slow to build,
00:15:02with difficulties arising in Intimacy Week.
00:15:08I can kiss you, Rachel.
00:15:11I'm not too sure if it's gonna make you feel something.
00:15:14I would need to feel that romantic connection.
00:15:17And, unfortunately, I haven't felt that romantic connection as of yet.
00:15:22And to sit here and say you feel no spark for me.
00:15:25Nothing.
00:15:26What a slap in the face.
00:15:31Despite the couple overcoming that hurdle, the pair are still facing issues with progressing their intimacy.
00:15:38I think today's gonna be really great for Stephen and I.
00:15:41I think what we both need is to see our loved ones and both hear perspective from them.
00:15:48The relationship between Stephen and I is going really well.
00:15:52But we've been here now for a few weeks and I am concerned about the lack of intimacy.
00:15:57Best outcome for today is that Stephen and I walk away from this stronger and like feel like we're both
00:16:03moving forward in this.
00:16:08Friends and family I think has come at a good time for us as well.
00:16:10I know.
00:16:11It's so great.
00:16:12I miss them.
00:16:13Here to meet Rachel and Stephen are Stephen's mother Anna and brother Dylan.
00:16:18I actually haven't spoken to him at all.
00:16:21So, yeah, that's why I'm excited to actually see what's going on.
00:16:24Oh, my God.
00:16:25It's so good to see you both.
00:16:27Steve doesn't like getting advice from me too much.
00:16:30He thinks I'm telling him what to do.
00:16:33But look, I know Stephen.
00:16:35I think sometimes he really needs my advice.
00:16:38Also joining them today are Rachel's friends Bernardo and Keturah.
00:16:43Oh, my God.
00:16:48Let's toast Rach and Stephen and we'll find out all the goss.
00:16:58What did you first think when you saw Stephen?
00:17:02Honestly, I saw Stephen and I was like, there he is.
00:17:05There's my cute little husband.
00:17:06Look at him. He's so dashing.
00:17:07You know, honestly, I was just like, there he is.
00:17:10It was amazing.
00:17:11As soon as Stephen like grabbed my hands at the altar and he could feel me shaking.
00:17:15So, I don't know, there's something calming about it.
00:17:17Like, you know, he's like, he had me in that moment.
00:17:19He's like, we're going to get through this together.
00:17:21It's really nice. Yeah.
00:17:23I felt that shaking was calming for me too.
00:17:28I think you calmed Stephen down actually.
00:17:30You did, she did.
00:17:31She did.
00:17:32And, yeah, felt like I was very comfortable around Rachel.
00:17:35That's good.
00:17:36You like that.
00:17:37So, cute.
00:17:39But I'm seeing good vibes here. Look at this.
00:17:41Holding hands.
00:17:41I'm a toucher.
00:17:43I'm a hold on.
00:17:44I like a hug.
00:17:47Do you think Stephen is affectionate enough?
00:17:55No.
00:17:56No.
00:17:58Yeah, so, um, the answer is no.
00:18:02Um, I'm a very affectionate person, as you can probably see.
00:18:07You should love that, Stephen.
00:18:09Mm-hmm.
00:18:10Yeah.
00:18:11Somebody, you know, loves you and it's really affectionate.
00:18:14You should love that.
00:18:17It's really nice to see Rachel so affectionate.
00:18:19I just don't know if Stephen's there yet to meet her.
00:18:24Let's go have a chat.
00:18:26Oh.
00:18:26Get all the goss.
00:18:27I want to check in on her, see how she's doing.
00:18:31What have you done so far?
00:18:34Like, um, we've literally just, like, kissed a little bit.
00:18:39Like, not like the passion.
00:18:40No.
00:18:40No tongue.
00:18:41And, like, cuddles.
00:18:42And so this is where I'm, like, I'm trying not to push him at any speed.
00:18:45Yeah.
00:18:46I just need to know if he's romantically connected to me or not.
00:18:53I really like her.
00:18:56Yeah.
00:18:56She'd be a fantastic part of the family.
00:18:59That's why I asked the question about the affection thing.
00:19:02Because I feel like when they were sitting there,
00:19:05she's like this on Steve and Steve's just sitting here like this.
00:19:08Yes.
00:19:09Like, seriously.
00:19:10Yeah.
00:19:11Come on, dude.
00:19:13Imagine if you were, like, all over someone
00:19:15and they're, like, just sitting there going like this.
00:19:17Yeah.
00:19:19How would you feel?
00:19:21Yeah, that would suck.
00:19:24My brother's advice was an eye-opener.
00:19:27Oh, you're right.
00:19:28Saying you've been a bit closed off and that's not really fair on Rachel.
00:19:33You guys know me better than anyone.
00:19:35I've always seen my brother as a straight shooter.
00:19:38I respect his opinion.
00:19:40It's good advice.
00:19:41She obviously is really into you
00:19:44and I feel like maybe you've got to let your wall down a little bit.
00:19:50Now I realise I'm not getting those feelings because I'm holding back.
00:19:55This is all so new to me.
00:19:57I've been single for a long time and I'm not a perfect guy.
00:20:01It's getting more and more clear.
00:20:03I've got my guard up because it's a bit scary being vulnerable.
00:20:07I feel like I've fallen short.
00:20:10Am I willing to fight for it?
00:20:13Yeah, I am.
00:20:16If I keep going the way I'm going, we're never going to go anywhere.
00:20:19We're stuck at this stagnant part of our relationship.
00:20:22I need to let my guards out.
00:20:24I need to let Rachel in to make this work.
00:20:28Please disclose the wall.
00:20:29Oh, mate, we've got to fill that up.
00:20:31That's right.
00:20:32That's right.
00:20:35I want to say a few things.
00:20:39I do like Rachel because me being here now is I'm fighting for the relationship.
00:20:46I wish I was a little bit further ahead and I feel like I've discovered why.
00:20:50I need to bring these walls down.
00:20:51I need to communicate more.
00:20:53I need to be me and I need to express my feelings more.
00:20:56And I feel like Rachel will be more reassured of where I'm at, how I sort of feel.
00:21:00Okay.
00:21:01Hearing him say, I do like Rachel and like, he's going to let me in.
00:21:05That means a lot to me because for me, I'm like, okay, so there's something romantic there
00:21:10because you're fighting for a relationship.
00:21:13Very genuine what I'm seeing right here.
00:21:15Yeah.
00:21:16I actually love it.
00:21:17I love you.
00:21:19The most that it costs!
00:21:25I love Rachel's banter.
00:21:27I just love her vibe, her personality.
00:21:30She's bubbly.
00:21:34So, I hope Stephen takes the advice.
00:21:38And I really do hope it works out.
00:21:41I feel like we've got what it takes to make it as a couple.
00:21:45Great!
00:21:47Cheers to that!
00:21:48Cheers to that!
00:21:53Coming up...
00:21:54Oh, wow!
00:21:57Alyssa and David's friends visit for an update.
00:22:00Cheers, girls!
00:22:02And boys.
00:22:03And bring news of their own.
00:22:05There's a bit of chatter around Adelaide, um, about Bec trying to actually dig shit up on Alyssa.
00:22:13What the hell?
00:22:15A little bit of a kick in the guts, to be honest.
00:22:18And...
00:22:20Stephanie and Tyson's cute date...
00:22:22Date day.
00:22:23Mmm.
00:22:24...takes a sour turn.
00:22:25You're here with me and you're talking to your ex.
00:22:28It all just feels...
00:22:31...very...
00:22:31...wrong.
00:22:40As Family and Friends Week continues, our original couples are already feeling the positive impact of having met with their
00:22:48loved ones.
00:22:49You and Dad got along so well, like...
00:22:52It was good, wasn't it?
00:22:53Makes me happy.
00:22:53And for Rachel and Steven, their lunch has brought a renewed confidence and perspective to their relationship.
00:23:01Mum and my brother, they know me best.
00:23:03Mm-hmm.
00:23:04And having the little private chat and he's going,
00:23:06Steve, Rachel's opening up to you and you're dropping the ball.
00:23:12Didn't even realise that.
00:23:14Today was a good day for our relationship.
00:23:16We got some good advice.
00:23:18Dylan's words stuck with me.
00:23:19Just to hear it from him is...
00:23:21They're gonna ring-ringing Dylan every week.
00:23:24Like, Dylan.
00:23:26Doven.
00:23:27Dole's work.
00:23:29If I keep going the way I'm going, we're never gonna go anywhere.
00:23:31Rachel's trying and I'm holding back.
00:23:34I need to let my guard down and I need to express my feelings.
00:23:39Coming up the other side, feeling lighter.
00:23:42It's good vibes now, yeah.
00:23:51As for Stella and Phillip, today open discussions about the next exciting and major step in their relationship.
00:23:59It's refreshing to get people coming in from outside the bubble and they see it and then they're looking at
00:24:03it in and going,
00:24:04OK, yeah, that makes sense, you know.
00:24:05Yeah.
00:24:05It's important.
00:24:07So who's gonna say I love you first then?
00:24:10That's the big question.
00:24:12That's a big question.
00:24:13Apparently...
00:24:13I'm not.
00:24:14I'm not.
00:24:15I am.
00:24:16You don't have to tell...
00:24:17You've already told me without telling me.
00:24:18You've already told me without telling me.
00:24:20Stella's not adamant.
00:24:21She's not dropping the album first.
00:24:23But then when we're looking at each other on the bed, it's just...
00:24:26It's there.
00:24:30Why are you smiling?
00:24:31Why are you smiling?
00:24:32Why are you smiling?
00:24:32Why are you smiling?
00:24:32I'm just fading off your energy.
00:24:34I'm fading off your energy.
00:24:35You just got that love energy going on around.
00:24:36I think it's gonna be said sooner rather than later.
00:24:39It's gonna be.
00:24:40Mm-hmm.
00:24:42Mm-hmm.
00:25:00Following the expert's advice and wanting to discover why he was matched with Stephanie...
00:25:07...Tyson has been putting in the effort during Crash Course Week.
00:25:10A day.
00:25:11A little day-day.
00:25:12Mmm.
00:25:12Yeah, it's nice.
00:25:14Yeah.
00:25:14John said, I do need to be a little bit more curious in regards to our relationship.
00:25:17I really am taking his advice seriously.
00:25:20I wanna get to know you more.
00:25:22Here you go.
00:25:24Beautiful tea for a beautiful girl.
00:25:25With his efforts, proving little gestures can go a long way.
00:25:29I think I appreciate you making a cup of tea though.
00:25:31That's very kind.
00:25:32It's the effort though, right?
00:25:33Yeah, absolutely.
00:25:33You give me an A for effort, right?
00:25:34And some of the more intimate tasks help them find a place of softness they've been lacking.
00:25:40You know, even just looking into her eyes for that three minutes, I can tell, you know, she's a beautiful
00:25:44person.
00:25:45She's got a beautiful heart.
00:25:46But one thing's for sure, you've got beautiful eyes.
00:25:47And, um, yeah.
00:25:50It was, um, it was good.
00:25:53So we're making progress and it feels so good.
00:25:56Progress is progress, baby.
00:25:57Come on.
00:25:57Let's go.
00:25:58Yay!
00:26:00And today, Tyson's gone one step further and is taking Stephanie on a date to nurture their connection.
00:26:08Thanks for that.
00:26:08I'm thinking as well, maybe, um, tomorrow we can hit the gym or might even go out for dinner or
00:26:13something tomorrow.
00:26:14We'll play it by ear.
00:26:15I decided to take Steph on a date today.
00:26:17Um, I'm all for doing nice things for my partner.
00:26:21Even with my ex-wife, every Friday night we go out to dinner.
00:26:24It sort of kept that spark there and it kept that, um, I guess it didn't, we got divorced a
00:26:28year later.
00:26:29But, but I do want to give this 100%.
00:26:32Where would you typically take a girl on a first date?
00:26:35A coffee date or maybe like a beach date, like a walk on the beach.
00:26:40I don't know, it's just something more chilled.
00:26:42Yeah, yeah.
00:26:43It is good progress that he, you know, asked me on a date.
00:26:45He arranged it.
00:26:47I'm genuinely impressed.
00:26:50What's the, like, what's the worst date you've been on?
00:26:54I mean, it's been a long time since I've been on a date.
00:26:58I guess I'm just getting to know Steph more and...
00:27:00Thank you so much.
00:27:01My lovely husband.
00:27:03Mmm.
00:27:04I think she's pretty satisfied with the size of that snizzle.
00:27:07Unfortunately, like, in this generation of dating, it's hard to connect on the same wavelength.
00:27:13I've been on a lot of dates and sometimes I reflect on that.
00:27:17I remember in the past I dated this Brazilian girl.
00:27:25I remember she's probably the only one besides my wife where I actually have those feelings of love for.
00:27:37Oh my shit, you know, if I wasn't so stubborn, where would I be with her now, you know what
00:27:43I mean?
00:27:45It makes you wonder.
00:27:49What the hell is going on?
00:27:51Why bring up his ex-girlfriend now?
00:27:56Do you ever keep in touch with a Brazilian girl?
00:28:02Mm-hmm.
00:28:02I keep in touch with a Brazilian girl.
00:28:04I won't lie, I do.
00:28:06We, um, still talk quite a lot.
00:28:08Really?
00:28:12She wasn't just, like, a partner.
00:28:14She's like my best friend as well.
00:28:19Have you spoken to her whilst you've been here?
00:28:21I have, yeah.
00:28:24I've got nothing to hide.
00:28:26The fact that he is still in contact with her, it all just feels very wrong.
00:28:34I just find it interesting that you'd be speaking to an old flame whilst you're here.
00:28:41We're friends.
00:28:42Nothing wrong with that.
00:28:44Do you think she still has feelings for you?
00:28:47Potentially.
00:28:48Potentially.
00:28:49And that's what makes it.
00:28:50Well, that's why I find it a little inappropriate.
00:28:53Do you feel like you're even out of love with her?
00:28:56I'll be honest with you, probably not fully.
00:29:07To be honest with you, it just made me question a little bit his commitment to this entire
00:29:12process.
00:29:12If he's speaking with a girl who he once had love for, he thinks he could very easily fall
00:29:17in love with her again.
00:29:19It feels very wrong.
00:29:20And I think every single girl in a relationship in this experiment would feel the exact same
00:29:26if that was coming from their partner.
00:29:28But are you friends with any of your exes or no?
00:29:31Well, I guess you've never been, but you know what I mean.
00:29:32Like anyone that you've seen.
00:29:33I'm friendly with them, but I don't talk to them.
00:29:35You don't talk to them?
00:29:36No.
00:29:37Oh.
00:29:51So...
00:29:59Why did you bring up the conversation about your ex?
00:30:05I'm not too sure why I brought that up.
00:30:07I don't know why I brought up my ex.
00:30:09Somehow, yeah, that got brought up about the Brazilian girl I was seeing.
00:30:16How do you think Steph felt hearing that you're sort of your ex?
00:30:23And that you still have feelings for her?
00:30:27Um...
00:30:27Obviously, Steph, yeah, look.
00:30:30I think, yeah.
00:30:33Yeah.
00:30:34I guess when you look at it like that, I guess, yeah.
00:30:37It's probably not the right thing to do, to probably talk to her.
00:30:41Um...
00:30:43I opened up a can of worms there.
00:30:45I can see how it's a very controversial topic, and I can see how it looks, and it doesn't
00:30:49look good, and I 100% admit that.
00:30:52Um...
00:30:54I just wanted to talk to you just regarding the whole ex-ing.
00:30:57I feel like I crossed the line a little bit.
00:30:59The fact of the matter is, I did say, you know, I was talking to my ex, and it came
00:31:03across
00:31:03inappropriate, and it does.
00:31:05It seems like it is inappropriate, but...
00:31:07It is appropriate, Tyson.
00:31:09Like, it's...
00:31:09And it's so disrespectful to me.
00:31:10Like, I'm actually...
00:31:11The more and more I think about it, I'm quite off, to be honest.
00:31:15I just think it's through.
00:31:16It's just...
00:31:17The thing is...
00:31:17And you're talking to your ex that you love, like...
00:31:20But the thing is, I don't necessarily, like, love her.
00:31:22It's hard to explain, Steph.
00:31:23If you put the shoe on the other foot, Tyson, how would that make you feel as a man?
00:31:30I...
00:31:31I think I just feel disrespected, the fact that you're talking to her.
00:31:34I feel like you're obviously, like, comparing.
00:31:37It makes me question if I'm wasting my time.
00:31:40Am I good enough?
00:31:41Is he comparing me to her?
00:31:43I'm sure he is.
00:31:44I feel insecure.
00:31:45I'm not comparing at all.
00:31:46Please don't think that.
00:31:47In a way, like...
00:31:48Not comparing at all.
00:31:49Yeah, I just...
00:31:49I don't know.
00:31:50Not comparing at all.
00:31:55I think we just leave the conversation now.
00:32:14As Family and Friends Week continues,
00:32:17there's been an unexpected turn of events.
00:32:20I came back.
00:32:23Gia has made a surprise return to the experiment
00:32:26after she stormed out last night.
00:32:32It's been an intense 24 hours for the couple,
00:32:36following a grilling at their family and friends' lunch.
00:32:40Is Gia a better version of your ex?
00:32:42I don't think you can compare because I would never start an OnlyFans.
00:32:45Like, I felt a little bit attacked.
00:32:47Don't compare me to his ex-girlfriend.
00:32:49And then later that night,
00:32:51Scott refused to delete photos of his ex,
00:32:54resulting in Gia walking out.
00:32:57After a night apart, Scott told Gia he deleted the photos.
00:33:03Explain to me, Gia,
00:33:04when did you first discover these photos of the ex?
00:33:07Yeah, so, we were driving in the car
00:33:12and there was a song on that I didn't like
00:33:13and I said,
00:33:15can I change that song?
00:33:16And he's like,
00:33:17well, go on my phone.
00:33:17This is my passcode.
00:33:19I put the passcode in and it literally came up.
00:33:22Your memory from 2000 blah, blah, blah.
00:33:25And it's literally a photo of her in lingerie.
00:33:28And they're not normal photos.
00:33:30They're not him and her at a beach having lunch.
00:33:32It's her bending over in lingerie next to him on a couch.
00:33:36I don't want to see that.
00:33:38I literally said,
00:33:39I think you should delete these photos.
00:33:42And he just said no.
00:33:44And that was it.
00:33:45No.
00:33:47So, I had to leave because
00:33:49he, by saying no to me and giving me no explanation,
00:33:54was telling me that those photos and that person
00:33:57is more important than what we have.
00:34:01What's important to you in a relationship?
00:34:05That I feel like I get the same energy back
00:34:08in terms of loyalty.
00:34:10I want to feel safe
00:34:12and like I can rely on him.
00:34:14Like, I want to feel like he's got my back.
00:34:17I want to feel like if some shit storm comes our way,
00:34:20he's going to back me.
00:34:21And I'm not...
00:34:22I always have to back myself
00:34:23and I'm always that one
00:34:24and then my wall goes up.
00:34:25So, you want someone to play that role
00:34:27and have your back?
00:34:28Yeah.
00:34:29You've not had that in the past?
00:34:30Never.
00:34:31Ever.
00:34:32No.
00:34:35I felt like what you were saying when you said no
00:34:38was that these photos were more important than me to you.
00:34:43And I felt like, shit, honestly.
00:34:47I felt like, you know, I'm not good enough.
00:34:51You're not that into me.
00:34:53Like, how is this more important than me?
00:34:56Like, that's how I felt.
00:34:57And I just snapped.
00:34:58And when you said no, I was sure you were going to say,
00:35:00yeah, I'll delete the photos.
00:35:02Like, I was sure you were going to do it.
00:35:03And when you didn't, I was so shocked.
00:35:05It's like, I felt so less than.
00:35:09And the way that Matthew was comparing me to her
00:35:12and saying like, well, how do you compare to his ex?
00:35:14Like, you think you're better in that?
00:35:16It's like, don't compare women, first of all.
00:35:18That was really inappropriate.
00:35:19But I was coming off the day of that happening
00:35:21and him talking about that and then the photos
00:35:24and I'm like, this is painting a picture
00:35:26that something is going on with the ex.
00:35:28And I know there isn't.
00:35:30But it made it look like that.
00:35:32And then when you were like, also like,
00:35:33I'm not going to delete the photos,
00:35:34I'm like, what the hell?
00:35:39I fully get it.
00:35:41And that's why I ended up removing it.
00:35:43Because I had time to digest it all and realise,
00:35:46you know what, that could make someone feel uncomfortable like that.
00:35:49Because I didn't realise how much it affected you.
00:35:51So I'm like, that's why I'd spent ages on there,
00:35:54finding everything I could
00:35:55and then I showed you the deleted album.
00:35:56And I'm like, look, there's 547 photos
00:35:59and I raised them.
00:35:59And that was a promise to myself that I would make
00:36:02because I want to make sure our relationship stays healthy.
00:36:05You know, at the time of the walking out part,
00:36:07like, yeah, I should have gone in more depth
00:36:10and explaining it all and just accepted and gone, yeah, I will.
00:36:12Because something like this, yeah, it's a big problem,
00:36:14but it's something that shouldn't break.
00:36:16You know what I mean?
00:36:17Yeah.
00:36:18It was an easy thing to fix.
00:36:20And like I said, I should have...
00:36:21I know I shouldn't have it there now.
00:36:24I definitely appreciate you deleting the photos.
00:36:29It's alright.
00:36:30I didn't think enough on her behalf
00:36:32and I appreciate that Gia came back.
00:36:35To have Gia's forgiveness, there's a lesson I've learnt
00:36:38and I'm grateful for it
00:36:39and we just problem solved it straight away
00:36:42and we're happy again.
00:36:44It's our biggest, pretty much only fight we've had.
00:36:47Yeah.
00:36:48We're okay, I think.
00:36:49But he needs to learn to put himself in my shoes
00:36:53and not just be so quick to have a man response of,
00:36:56oh my God, she's attacking me.
00:36:57No.
00:36:58Really think about what I'm saying.
00:37:00I'm trying to make you see what you're doing is wrong.
00:37:02I held my own and I was not going to tolerate that.
00:37:05And I think he knows that now.
00:37:08All right, I'm sorry.
00:37:12All right, we're sorry.
00:37:23Down the hall things are still tense between Juliet and Joel
00:37:27after she refused to take part in the intimacy task.
00:37:31But after a change of heart,
00:37:33she has reluctantly decided to tackle the photo ranking task.
00:37:41Um, how are you feeling about doing this challenge?
00:37:46Um...
00:37:46Yeah, I'm feeling a little...
00:37:51..apprehensive, perhaps? Mm-hm.
00:37:53Juliette and I have had a really rough couple of days.
00:37:57The previous challenge, Juliette stormed off,
00:38:00and I had to read out the task through the door.
00:38:04I suspect this challenge, Juliette,
00:38:06is not going to take it well at all.
00:38:10I'll use it as an opportunity
00:38:13to show you what I find attractive.
00:38:16Yeah, which I'm curious about,
00:38:17cos apparently it's not me.
00:38:20Yeah, I guess so.
00:38:23Shall I go in?
00:38:26See how low you rank me?
00:38:29OK, well, number one, least attractive for me is Tyson.
00:38:33Yep.
00:38:34Just a bit of a dumbass to me.
00:38:36I also think he's definitely misogynistic.
00:38:39Yep, OK. Why would I want to date someone like that?
00:38:42Then, beautiful Steve-o.
00:38:44He's just a bit too old for me.
00:38:46Yep.
00:38:47Danny, just, like, not really my type.
00:38:50I just, like, wouldn't really go for him.
00:38:54And then I will put you here.
00:38:58OK, fourth lowest, eh?
00:39:03Mainly about how I feel towards you,
00:39:07that it's just not an attractive vibe at the moment.
00:39:11Yeah.
00:39:12You know?
00:39:12Am I your type, physically?
00:39:14No.
00:39:14No?
00:39:15No.
00:39:16What is your type?
00:39:17Um, my type is just to, like, someone more my age.
00:39:25I feel like it's a dig at me, even though I'm 31, but I look older.
00:39:30And since, yeah.
00:39:33I've got a silver fox look.
00:39:34And I think that's what makes me unique.
00:39:36And I think that's what makes me attractive.
00:39:39I've dated Indians.
00:39:41I've dated...
00:39:44British people, Brazilians.
00:39:48What did your ex look like?
00:39:51He had black hair, a beard.
00:39:55What was his background?
00:39:56Maltese.
00:39:57Maltese.
00:39:58So Mediterranean.
00:40:00Mediterranean.
00:40:01Tick.
00:40:01British.
00:40:02Tick.
00:40:03Indian.
00:40:03Tick.
00:40:04So she's describing what she's attracted to,
00:40:07but when it comes to me, no.
00:40:08Apparently, none of these criteria matters.
00:40:11Number one.
00:40:13David.
00:40:14Physically, he's definitely extremely attractive.
00:40:19I think it's a shame that you're not that attracted to me.
00:40:21Mm-hmm.
00:40:23That's the way it is, right?
00:40:25It's a challenge.
00:40:27Yep.
00:40:28No problem.
00:40:28Juliet's been hurting my feelings and telling me that I'm unattractive.
00:40:32So, we'll see where she ranks, but she's not first.
00:40:37So, Beck, I can't get past the way she attacks people.
00:40:43Interesting.
00:40:44Now, I'm gonna put Steph.
00:40:49Okay.
00:40:50She's a really nice person.
00:40:52Mm-hmm.
00:40:52She's really sweet.
00:40:54So next, we have the beautiful Juliet.
00:40:57Look at her.
00:40:58Stunning.
00:41:00Third place, not bad.
00:41:03I didn't really think that he would manage to, like, piss me off anymore.
00:41:07But, nah.
00:41:09The way he, like, went about how he was doing it was so theatrical and performative.
00:41:14It's like he's trying to antagonize me.
00:41:17Now, as you can see, you were rated higher than what you rated me.
00:41:22And you have a problem with that?
00:41:23No.
00:41:24I'm just making an observation.
00:41:25That's all right.
00:41:26You have a massive problem with that.
00:41:27No, no.
00:41:27It was just a joke, honestly.
00:41:28It was just a joke.
00:41:31I'm just being honest.
00:41:32You didn't do it with your funny, comedic side.
00:41:33Sorry?
00:41:33You didn't do it with your funny, comedic voice.
00:41:36Well...
00:41:36That's okay.
00:41:37But I...
00:41:39I'm just having banter with you.
00:41:41So next, we have...
00:41:43We have Alyssa.
00:41:49She's got a great nose.
00:41:50She's got great everything, really.
00:41:55So...
00:41:56Yeah.
00:41:57Stella.
00:41:58Whenever I see her around, she looks really good.
00:42:01She's got a beautiful heart.
00:42:04Someone's gotta come last and someone's gotta get first, you know?
00:42:07Yeah.
00:42:08That's the name of the game.
00:42:11I'm really not doing well with him.
00:42:13Like, I want something a bit more real and genuine and honest.
00:42:16And I guess he was just a butthurt where I placed him.
00:42:19Even though, very aware, I'm not attracted to him.
00:42:23I think I was still quite nice with where I ranked him.
00:42:26And then, with his side of it, he was just then trying to rub it in my face where I
00:42:31was.
00:42:31Can't even fathom being in the same room with him right now.
00:42:41Coming up...
00:42:42What about same-sex marriage?
00:42:44The rollercoaster of Stephanie and Tyson continues.
00:42:48Tell me about gay people.
00:42:51Gay people?
00:42:52Do you like gay people?
00:42:54I'm not gay myself.
00:42:56You know, each to their own.
00:42:56But, um...
00:42:57I know that.
00:42:58Yeah.
00:42:59I hope so.
00:43:00And later, Joel's attempt to confront Juliet ends in a showdown.
00:43:04You don't see the star in me.
00:43:05You don't see the light in me.
00:43:07See the star in you!
00:43:07Yeah, literally.
00:43:08Because it's a performance!
00:43:10It's a metaphor.
00:43:11Because it's a performance!
00:43:12Thank you!
00:43:19As the crash course continues for our new couples...
00:43:24What's behind the door?
00:43:26Chris and Sam's bond has deepened after Chris revealed his plans to become a father.
00:43:32Well, they don't waste any time.
00:43:33And now they're about to undertake the rapid revelations task, designed to help them open up further.
00:43:40Do you want me to go first?
00:43:41Uh, you can go first.
00:43:43The thing I'm most scared about in this experiment is?
00:43:46Uh...
00:43:47Not falling in love.
00:43:49Really?
00:43:50Yeah.
00:43:53Okay.
00:43:53Interesting.
00:43:56I am most insecure when?
00:43:59Um...
00:44:00When I'm...
00:44:01When I don't get reassurance.
00:44:03Yeah.
00:44:03Yeah.
00:44:04The task is great.
00:44:05I love when they give us these tasks because we don't talk like that normally.
00:44:08The last time I had friends with benefits was?
00:44:12I'm gonna say a couple...
00:44:13A few years.
00:44:14I don't...
00:44:15I don't usually do that.
00:44:16I never have.
00:44:16Yeah.
00:44:17Okay.
00:44:17I like the, like, no thinking and just, like, firing off answers.
00:44:22Something I'd change about our relationship is?
00:44:25Um, I would like to start being, like, close to you.
00:44:29Yeah.
00:44:30Yeah, okay.
00:44:32Can I have the same answer?
00:44:33Sure.
00:44:34I'll let you off now.
00:44:35Am I allowed to have the same answer?
00:44:36Yeah.
00:44:37We make the rules.
00:44:38Yeah.
00:44:38Is it you?
00:44:39Yeah.
00:44:40While spirits are high in Chris and Sam's apartment...
00:44:48Across the hall, things are frosty between Stephanie and Tyson,
00:44:53after Tyson regrettably revealed on their lunch date
00:44:55that he has been in touch with an ex during the experiment.
00:45:04Genuinely went there just to try to have a nice dinner,
00:45:06you know, a nice lunch date with you.
00:45:09I was just trying to be as transparent as possible.
00:45:12As you know, like, I'm not trying to hide anything,
00:45:14I'm just trying to be brutally honest.
00:45:16I'm not going to talk to her anymore just out of respect.
00:45:19So if I hurt your feelings, I do apologise.
00:45:26I just feel a bit disrespected,
00:45:29but I appreciate your apology.
00:45:31I do, genuinely.
00:45:32I'm not just saying that.
00:45:33And it's nice that you've said you're not
00:45:36going to keep talking to her.
00:45:39I obviously feel a bit insecure about that.
00:45:43So I think that's nice,
00:45:45that whilst you're here
00:45:46and whilst you're trying to be committed to me
00:45:48that you've said you're not going to keep speaking to her.
00:45:50So I appreciate that.
00:45:57Well, thanks for, uh...
00:45:59Thanks for understanding, Steph.
00:46:00I do appreciate it.
00:46:03Um...
00:46:04It...yeah.
00:46:05You know, you are who you are,
00:46:06you say what you think,
00:46:08and I think that's great.
00:46:12But I just want to see you be a bit more in tune
00:46:14with how what comes out of your mouth.
00:46:18Maybe you thinking,
00:46:19actually, you know what,
00:46:20if I say this,
00:46:21how's that going to make someone else feel?
00:46:29Yeah.
00:46:33Look, um...
00:46:34As you know, like I've said,
00:46:35I'm a very direct person,
00:46:36and sometimes I need to...
00:46:38It's okay to be direct.
00:46:38Apply. I know.
00:46:39But I'm just saying,
00:46:40sometimes I need to maybe apply a filter
00:46:41on certain words I use.
00:46:43I admit that.
00:46:44I'm not perfect.
00:46:46Um...
00:46:47So, yeah, I'll take what you said on board
00:46:49as constructive criticism.
00:46:52See if I can take your feelings
00:46:54a little bit more into account
00:46:55with the things I say.
00:47:01I don't think he behaves out of malice.
00:47:05Can we hug you down?
00:47:09Come on, big boy.
00:47:11I think Tyson has listened to what I've said
00:47:13about the repercussions of his actions,
00:47:15and I just want to keep moving forward.
00:47:18I'm not going to throw in the towel.
00:47:20Wow.
00:47:27Our original couples are continuing
00:47:29Family and Friends Week.
00:47:31Oh, my gosh.
00:47:33Oh, wow.
00:47:34And Alyssa and David are meeting
00:47:36with Alyssa's friend Adriana,
00:47:38and David's friends Jasmine and Melissa,
00:47:41who were all at their wedding.
00:47:43Calm and sit down.
00:47:45The wedding day,
00:47:46my first impression of Alyssa
00:47:47is that she did come off quite strong.
00:47:49to start off with.
00:47:51I'm really, really sorry.
00:47:53What's she saying?
00:47:54I don't think I can marry you.
00:47:57I completely understand.
00:48:00Not until we get on one knee
00:48:01and propose to me first.
00:48:06But David has told us
00:48:08that it's been going really good.
00:48:10Cheers, girls!
00:48:12And boys.
00:48:14I think it will be really good
00:48:16to get to know her
00:48:17more of a casual setting today.
00:48:19Cheers to really catching up.
00:48:21I know.
00:48:24So tell us,
00:48:26what's been going on?
00:48:28Where do we start?
00:48:29Where do we begin?
00:48:29It's been a lot.
00:48:31Yeah.
00:48:32Wedding day, obviously, fantastic.
00:48:33Yeah.
00:48:33It was an amazing wedding.
00:48:35I'm so glad I came in the experiment
00:48:37because here we go.
00:48:38I met her.
00:48:39But, yeah.
00:48:41Even though you had to get down on one knee.
00:48:42Yeah, I know.
00:48:43It was worth it.
00:48:44Like, from there, I think, yeah,
00:48:46we just hit it off straight away.
00:48:48Yeah, we did.
00:48:48We have had, obviously, smooth sailing, pretty much.
00:48:52I am so happy to see that they have continued on
00:48:56what we all felt on the wedding day,
00:48:58which is undeniable chemistry,
00:49:00which has then flourished into something so much more
00:49:03and so much more real.
00:49:05So, yeah, it's been pretty wild.
00:49:08And there's a lot of noise, as well,
00:49:10with the other couples.
00:49:11Yeah.
00:49:11Trying to drag us down.
00:49:13We're in the firing line, as well.
00:49:15It gets so much.
00:49:17And then we're just like...
00:49:18Like, it's hemorrhaging.
00:49:19Why are you guys in the firing line?
00:49:23Well, the experts actually asked that
00:49:26to the main perpetrators,
00:49:28or the main perpetrator.
00:49:30Yeah.
00:49:30This one girl, Beck.
00:49:37There's a mean bitch.
00:49:38There's a couple of mean girls.
00:49:40So, she's obviously...
00:49:41Things aren't going well in her relationship.
00:49:45I'm a little bit anxious,
00:49:46because I've got some information
00:49:48to share with the both of them.
00:49:51There's been a lot of chat back in Adelaide
00:49:54about a girl named Beck.
00:49:56And I think that we need to be aware
00:49:58of what's been happening back home.
00:50:02I just want to let you know, as well,
00:50:06there's a bit of chatter around Adelaide
00:50:10about Beck trying to actually dig shit up on Alyssa.
00:50:16Like, it's an active process.
00:50:19Wow.
00:50:23Why?
00:50:25What the hell?
00:50:27I'm pissed you're going to read out my face.
00:50:30Like...
00:50:31Yeah, it's a little bit of a kick in the guts, to be honest.
00:50:34I'm not sure what her agenda is,
00:50:36or why she has it out for Alyssa so bad.
00:50:41But, yeah.
00:50:43That you guys actively have people out for you.
00:50:46Yes.
00:50:47And I think it's just...
00:50:48I think it's disgusting.
00:50:50To hear that Beck is actively trying to tear me down back home.
00:50:54This is actually disgusting.
00:51:04It's Alyssa and David's family and friends meet.
00:51:07And Alyssa's friend Adriana has pulled her aside
00:51:11for a private chat about the alleged actions of a fellow bride.
00:51:15Go on, give me the lowdown.
00:51:17So, in Adelaide, there's been a lot of chats
00:51:19from mutual friends about Beck.
00:51:26And about her trying to dig up dirt on you.
00:51:29And your ex-partner.
00:51:32Which is all non-relevant to you.
00:51:35Have you heard what's been said?
00:51:37No.
00:51:40But I know that we do have mutual friends back in Adelaide.
00:51:43Yeah.
00:51:44Look, all I know is that she's bringing a lot of opinions
00:51:48and a lot of...
00:51:50It's not cute.
00:51:51Yeah, it's not a good look.
00:51:52I wouldn't expect anything less from Beck
00:51:54because she's proven over and over again
00:51:57she can't be trusted
00:51:58and she's throwing herself under the bus ultimately.
00:52:01Her behaviour has been pretty absurd to me
00:52:03and it's not just her.
00:52:06What's been going on with these girls?
00:52:08Because I'm, like, super mad.
00:52:09A lot of mean girl behaviour.
00:52:10I mean, these wives are pretty confronting, actually.
00:52:15It is not appropriate to rip down other females
00:52:19and make them feel less than.
00:52:21Do you know what the funniest thing was?
00:52:23Like, Beck has been remorseful
00:52:25and she's apologised for her behaviour
00:52:28and then goes and still talks behind my back.
00:52:31What a dickhead.
00:52:33Although I don't know Beck personally, I'm not impressed.
00:52:36Alyssa is my best friend.
00:52:38I don't want to see her get hurt
00:52:39and definitely don't want any girls talking shit about her.
00:52:43Obviously, Beck, she's just bored.
00:52:45When you're focused on your life and what you're doing,
00:52:47then you're not hating on other people.
00:52:48You're focused and you're in your lane.
00:52:50I'm sorry.
00:52:51I feel sorry for her.
00:52:53What's their problem?
00:52:54Babe, do you know what? I think it's just jealousy.
00:52:56We have a lovely relationship, David and I,
00:52:58and they're obviously, they've got so much time on their hands
00:53:02that they want to interrogate every other relationship
00:53:04but focus on their own.
00:53:05They're not watering their own garden.
00:53:06And basically, they're miserable.
00:53:09I just wanted to check in
00:53:10to make sure none of it was a concern to you.
00:53:12Look, I haven't really...
00:53:13Babe, I've been so busy and caught up in the experiment.
00:53:15But, babe, you know in the real world,
00:53:17they're not my people.
00:53:18They're not your people.
00:53:19They're not my people.
00:53:20Moving forward in this experiment,
00:53:21I'm already keeping Beck at arm's length
00:53:23because I don't trust her.
00:53:25It's just reaffirmed that I cannot keep this girl close to me.
00:53:30She has to stay away.
00:53:32Hello.
00:53:33Hello.
00:53:35How are you guys?
00:53:36Welcome back.
00:53:37Aw, does that mean we have to say goodbye?
00:53:39I don't want to.
00:53:40I know neither do I.
00:53:41David and I seeing our friends today
00:53:43has really reassured us and our relationship.
00:53:46Our feelings are valid.
00:53:47It's a crazy experiment.
00:53:50And, yeah, it's so comforting
00:53:53knowing that our friends have our backs as well.
00:53:56That was fun.
00:53:57That was actually fun.
00:54:06For Stephanie and Tyson, the crash course to accelerate their relationship continues.
00:54:13We've got Mel here, Steph.
00:54:15And their next challenge, the audition's video task, has just arrived.
00:54:19iPads.
00:54:20I love it.
00:54:21After their last date was derailed by an admission that Tyson was still in contact with his ex,
00:54:27this task may be the perfect opportunity to get their relationship back on track.
00:54:32This year, in your crash course, you'll be watching your partner's audition video.
00:54:36You may hear things you've never heard before.
00:54:39You may like what you see or you may not.
00:54:42I'm excited for this task.
00:54:45We've had a very rocky lunch date, but the fact that he apologised and he took accountability really meant a
00:54:52lot to me.
00:54:53There's lots of things that we're compatible on.
00:54:55And moving forward, I want to see where it goes.
00:54:58Watch closely, listen carefully, and then be ready to come back together in debrief.
00:55:04So, I'm hoping I might see a bit more of a sensitive side to him.
00:55:08Maybe?
00:55:09Is there anything in yours that you might be worried about?
00:55:14I've said a lot.
00:55:15I think I know about your red flags already, and I'm still here.
00:55:18So, I'm not, like, worried about anything.
00:55:20I'm very confident with my audition tape.
00:55:23I think Steph will like what she sees.
00:55:25Should I stay here and you toddle off to your room?
00:55:30Toddle off?
00:55:31How about you toddle off?
00:55:33I feel like I've already, you know, I'm getting to know Steph even more.
00:55:37And I'm pretty sure I know what the, uh, what the video is going to say.
00:55:42I think it's going to say something along the lines.
00:55:44She's after someone that takes care of their fitness, someone that's like-minded.
00:55:48Um, yeah.
00:55:50It's a pretty simple task.
00:55:53Let's see what we're dealing with here.
00:55:56I am Stephanie. I'm 32.
00:55:59I come from Queensland, and I'm a real estate agent.
00:56:01I like to think of myself as, like, the simple, non-fancy girl next door.
00:56:06I think I'd make a cool mum.
00:56:09I know it's not the same, but I'm very loving with my dog.
00:56:12She's my first priority.
00:56:13And I just think, I think overall, I just have so much love to give.
00:56:19I love to have intelligent conversations.
00:56:22Um, and I mean, I am a huge Trump fan.
00:56:27Yeah.
00:56:28Say traditional relationships are you referring to, like, woman stays at home, man goes out and works.
00:56:34Look, I'm not against it.
00:56:35I think it is, it's what works for the couple, right?
00:56:38Hmm.
00:56:40I like it, quite frankly.
00:56:42I like what she had to say.
00:56:44Steph and I do connect on a lot of levels.
00:56:46We have similar political views.
00:56:49I actually really like that video.
00:56:50It's made me like Steph a lot more.
00:56:52And while Tyson reflects on his compatibility with his wife, in the lounge room, Stephanie is learning more about Tyson.
00:57:00I've got no issues with actually picking up women.
00:57:02That's not an issue.
00:57:03I can't seem to find a good quality woman that has all the traits I want.
00:57:06I'd probably say maybe 60% to 70% of the women, you know, I've had things with were sort
00:57:13of anti-Trump.
00:57:14Like I said, I'd wear the hat right now, if I couldn't make America great again, hat.
00:57:19A lot of people say, oh, he said this is racist.
00:57:22But he's not, though.
00:57:23If they actually look at his policies, he's doing a good job.
00:57:25I agree with that.
00:57:27What about same-sex marriage?
00:57:29Same-sex marriage?
00:57:30Well, in my opinion, if they love each other, then let them get married.
00:57:34What bothers me is they're trying to push on to me.
00:57:36Or even gay guys coming up to me.
00:57:37I don't like that, you know?
00:57:38I'm not gay.
00:57:41Of course!
00:57:42Why does he think a gay guy would come up to him?
00:57:45I don't know.
00:57:46He's pretty much just said, if you're gay, don't do it in front of me.
00:57:51Do it behind closed doors.
00:57:53You know, and we've got...
00:57:55I had two...
00:57:56I had gay guys at my wedding.
00:57:58They're, like, my closest friends, my nearest and dearest.
00:58:00We've got gay guys in the experiment.
00:58:01Like, they're such amazing people.
00:58:03Why did they not get the same opportunity to share their love?
00:58:08See, he was so outdated.
00:58:10You know, I'm happy for you.
00:58:12Be whoever you want.
00:58:13Don't come on to me.
00:58:14Like, why the f*** would they be coming on to you, Tyson?
00:58:18You're not God's gift.
00:58:24Stephanie and Tyson have come to the end of their audition videos.
00:58:30What's going on?
00:58:35How did you go?
00:58:37Um...
00:58:38I think it went quite well.
00:58:39Like, I looked at that and I said,
00:58:41Well, Steph, you know, she's got substance.
00:58:44It was nice to know, essentially, that we, um...
00:58:48We can both agree on something.
00:58:49Yeah.
00:58:49I mean, I wasn't, like, particularly shocked with anything in your video.
00:58:54The thing that I just, like...
00:58:56I don't know.
00:58:57I just, like...
00:58:59Tell me about gay people.
00:59:01Gay people?
00:59:02Do you like gay people?
00:59:04I like gay people.
00:59:05I'm not gay myself, you know, each to their own, but, um...
00:59:08I know that.
00:59:09Obviously.
00:59:10I hope so.
00:59:12Steph, sometimes I wonder if she wants to create a little bit of drama.
00:59:17Because of what he told her about the whole gay thing,
00:59:19about how if you're born gay, you're gay.
00:59:21And, um, you know, credit to you.
00:59:23If that's what you like, then that's on you.
00:59:25Like, in the video, how you worded it was, again,
00:59:29like, talking down to them like they're inferior.
00:59:31Like, a comment that you made was, like,
00:59:34just don't do it in front of me.
00:59:36You don't like it when gay people come up to me,
00:59:38come up to you, like...
00:59:40And hit on me.
00:59:41And hit on you.
00:59:42Yeah.
00:59:42I don't believe that any gay person would be coming up to you
00:59:44and hitting on you.
00:59:45Gay people don't do that.
00:59:46What the hell does that mean?
00:59:49So, are you saying I'm ugly or something?
00:59:51Because they do.
00:59:51Did those words just come out of my mouth?
00:59:53Well, I'm just saying.
00:59:54I have had gay people come up to me.
00:59:57But you also did say,
00:59:59I'm happy for them to be whoever they want to be,
01:00:01they deserve to be happy, blah, blah, blah.
01:00:03But keep it behind closed doors.
01:00:06With Steph, I just feel like
01:00:08sometimes she kind of does twist the words
01:00:10and I notice she, just from what I've seen,
01:00:12I could be wrong,
01:00:13but it just feels like she wants to start a bit of drama.
01:00:16Like, she didn't have to bring up the gay thing.
01:00:18Hits hard because I've just been supporting
01:00:20one of my best friends in her wedding
01:00:22and she's gay.
01:00:23Yeah.
01:00:23We had gay guys at our wedding.
01:00:25Mmm.
01:00:26We've got Chris and Sam in the experiment.
01:00:27I have very close gay friends,
01:00:31lesbians and gay men.
01:00:33And I would hope that we're all just humans
01:00:35having our own experience in this world
01:00:38and I'm just here for harmony.
01:00:39I just want everyone to have their own harmonious experience.
01:00:42Like, love is love.
01:00:43Why should they not be allowed to, like,
01:00:46show their affection in public?
01:00:49I'm not anti-gay, okay?
01:00:52I like gay people
01:00:55and I think there are actually a lot of gay people
01:00:57very friendly and very nice.
01:00:59For me, it was just,
01:01:00I'm not calling you anti-gay.
01:01:02I've never thought you were anti-gay.
01:01:03Those words did not come out of my mouth about you.
01:01:05I didn't even give that a second thought, really.
01:01:08It was just about, again,
01:01:10kind of your words
01:01:11and the way that you word things
01:01:13can sometimes come across
01:01:14really insensitive to other people.
01:01:17Yeah.
01:01:18Yeah.
01:01:22It's been an intense crash course
01:01:24for our three new couples.
01:01:26And the mood is tense between Juliet and Joel.
01:01:35I'm feeling pretty hopeless at the moment.
01:01:37Pretty hopeless.
01:01:38The way Juliet has been reacting to me,
01:01:40it's like as if I've been mistreating her.
01:01:43But I've been the opposite to her.
01:01:45I've treated her with kindness and respect and patience
01:01:48and all she does is spit in my face.
01:01:50I'm trying to avoid drama
01:01:53by being the perfect little angel she needs me to be.
01:01:57But I can't do anything right.
01:02:00Nothing.
01:02:03So...
01:02:03I think we should have a chat.
01:02:06You're able to put your bowl down.
01:02:10I don't think you accept me for who I am.
01:02:13And I don't think you treat me very well.
01:02:16Okay.
01:02:17Continue.
01:02:18You don't value me.
01:02:19Yeah.
01:02:20You devalue me.
01:02:21Okay.
01:02:22You don't say nice things about me.
01:02:24Yes.
01:02:24I've lost myself the past few days.
01:02:26I felt very quiet, very sad.
01:02:28Haven't been able to stop my emotions
01:02:30from getting the best of me.
01:02:31It's because I have been feeling genuinely smothered
01:02:35from the extremeness.
01:02:37Your personality.
01:02:38I'm getting an extremely theatrical performative side.
01:02:42Yeah.
01:02:43That makes me very recluse.
01:02:45So basically I'm to blame for everything, right?
01:02:48Did I even say that I'm blaming you for anything?
01:02:50That's what it sounds like.
01:02:52Do you make me think that the problem lies with you?
01:02:55Why?
01:02:55What am I...
01:02:56What problem am I doing?
01:02:57All you do is ridicule me.
01:02:59You say that I'm theatrical, I'm this, I'm that.
01:03:01How about just...
01:03:01You are.
01:03:02Extremely.
01:03:02That is my personality.
01:03:03So you either like it or you don't.
01:03:05It's...
01:03:05It's smothering.
01:03:07It is smothering.
01:03:08Yeah, so...
01:03:09So me being myself is smothering you.
01:03:12That isn't your true self.
01:03:14How do you know who I am?
01:03:14I don't know why you're trying to hide it.
01:03:16How do you know who I am?
01:03:16Because I've seen this...
01:03:17You think you know me after a week?
01:03:19We've hardly been in the same room together.
01:03:21She's not once tried to get to know me.
01:03:25She hardly wants to talk to me.
01:03:27I want to re-evaluate why I came here.
01:03:32Why did you come here?
01:03:33For love and for something real.
01:03:35Yeah.
01:03:36Mm-hmm.
01:03:37Yeah.
01:03:37I'm not getting either of that from you.
01:03:39Yeah.
01:03:39And I want to find...
01:03:40You're getting...
01:03:41You're getting all of that from me.
01:03:41I'm getting a performance.
01:03:42No, you're not.
01:03:43I'm getting a performance.
01:03:44You don't understand me.
01:03:45I'm gonna give you...
01:03:46You don't see the star in me.
01:03:47You don't see the light in me.
01:04:05You don't see the star in me.
01:04:16You don't see the light in me.
01:04:18See the star in you.
01:04:18Yeah.
01:04:19Literally.
01:04:19Because it's a performance.
01:04:20It's a metaphor.
01:04:22Because it's a performance.
01:04:23He was like, well, I'm the star.
01:04:25Because deep down, he thinks he's the star in this.
01:04:29What I mean by that is you don't see the true essence in me.
01:04:33My big personality has always been a feature of me.
01:04:37I think you're an impossible woman to please.
01:04:39My core identity has never changed.
01:04:41I've always been this big personality.
01:04:42And that's what people love about me.
01:04:44Except Juliette.
01:04:45I don't think anything makes you happy.
01:04:47I'm done.
01:04:48I'm done right now.
01:04:49I'm done.
01:04:50I'm done.
01:04:51Okay?
01:04:52I'm done.
01:04:54This is so stupid.
01:04:56This is a joke, babe.
01:04:59I want to leave.
01:05:08Yeah, I'm very disappointed.
01:05:09Yeah.
01:05:11This is not how I envisaged my first marriage to go.
01:05:15Joel, I did not want to end like this.
01:05:18I wanted us to just find some space.
01:05:21And I wanted you to realise that whatever you've been doing
01:05:26isn't really connecting.
01:05:29I'm disappointed to be mistreated like I'm some sort of demon
01:05:32when I've been treating her so well.
01:05:34I'm crashing out because you're not real with me.
01:05:37No, I'm actually the most real person you'll ever meet in your life.
01:05:39It was psychotic.
01:05:41I haven't come this far to be with a woman who doesn't value me.
01:05:47Yeah.
01:05:55Tomorrow night.
01:05:57I'm going to be a dad.
01:05:58Woo!
01:06:00Chris's major update.
01:06:02Cheers guys!
01:06:03Cheers!
01:06:05Will leave some at the table confused.
01:06:08I'm not really used to that whole gay thing with the kids or...
01:06:14I don't know what the hell's going on quite frankly.
01:06:17I came in here and I dropped bombs on everyone.
01:06:19Bec embarks on her apology tour.
01:06:22I am genuinely sorry.
01:06:24But David remains sceptical.
01:06:26Bec's apology means Jack.
01:06:28Back in Adelaide you were digging up some stuff about Alyssa.
01:06:31You're not digging up information.
01:06:34It doesn't mean they're human.
01:06:36I'm talking like you do a madman out there.
01:06:39And while some couples celebrate their love...
01:06:42So together.
01:06:43So in sync.
01:06:44You'd think they'd been together for 10 years.
01:06:46Yeah.
01:06:46You've created a deranged girl.
01:06:48You've been very disgusted by us.
01:06:50I'm not, I'm not married to a man.
01:06:53One marriage implodes.
01:06:55He said...
01:06:56I'm the star.
01:06:58I didn't say it.
01:06:59Again, done talking to this liar in my face.
01:07:03It's a shocking tirade that will leave everyone speechless.
01:07:07I actually like the Teddy more than I like Joel.
01:07:10Teddy is not a...
01:07:13Oh my God.
01:07:14Oh.
01:07:14Did she just say that?
01:07:17I am absolutely disgusted.
