00:00:01You're special and I am in love with you.
00:00:05Philip finally confessed those magic words.
00:00:09Oh God, I feel like I'm going to cry.
00:00:12But Stella was left feeling triggered.
00:00:15Fear of rejection, not rejection, abandonment.
00:00:17So I'm dealing with that right now.
00:00:21Despite Rachel and Steven's romantic progression.
00:00:25Made second base.
00:00:27And we've had...
00:00:30They became the butt of the joke at the couple's retreat.
00:00:34Don't even want to be around here anymore.
00:00:37When the group turned on Beck and Danny.
00:00:39Every night you've been the dumbest.
00:00:42The pair made an abrupt exit.
00:00:46And at the dinner party...
00:00:47I've got all this in the screenshots.
00:00:49I've got it in text messages.
00:00:50Gia declared she was sitting on explosive evidence against Beck.
00:00:54I could ruin everything for her right now.
00:00:57She said...
00:00:58Oh!
00:00:59Are you kidding?
00:01:02Tonight.
00:01:04Beck has gotten away with a lot in this experiment.
00:01:07She's done a lot of things wrong by a lot of people.
00:01:10So I think the screenshots, if they are aired out, they help me because what I've been saying this whole
00:01:16time is she is a calculated evil person.
00:01:18And those screenshots show that.
00:01:21With only three commitment ceremonies remaining, the stakes have never been so high.
00:01:28I'm just excited for the next four weeks and see where we end up.
00:01:31I do see a future with her, unfortunately.
00:01:35I love you.
00:01:36Yeah, put me on the spot a little bit.
00:01:38But are all of our couples on the same page?
00:01:44Um...
00:01:46If you're so terrified of making someone pregnant, maybe just do a snip.
00:01:50It's the sensitive topic...
00:01:52Has anyone heard of condoms?
00:01:54...that will leave some divided.
00:01:56It's reversible.
00:01:58But it's a procedure.
00:02:00...before Stella's blindside...
00:02:03...threatens to tear apart the experiment's strongest couple.
00:02:07If I'm being honest with myself and with Philip...
00:02:12...this is a breakup.
00:02:14No.
00:02:17Will Gia reveal her evidence against Beck?
00:02:20We do not like you.
00:02:21Don't lie about me then.
00:02:22You're trying to make me look bad.
00:02:23You're interrupting our couch session. Shut up.
00:02:26And...
00:02:26I don't think this experiment is for me.
00:02:30What causes not one...
00:02:32Jules.
00:02:33No.
00:02:33Did you just hear that?
00:02:34But two participants to storm out.
00:02:37She's gone.
00:02:53It's the morning of the fifth commitment ceremony of the experiment.
00:02:57And despite the intensity of the week...
00:03:00...our couple's connections have become even stronger.
00:03:04Gosh, you're torn.
00:03:07I'm really grateful for you.
00:03:13After reluctantly finding themselves in the spotlight at the retreat...
00:03:18...last night's dinner party helped Rachel and Stephen regain their strength as a couple.
00:03:24Yeah, I'm feeling good about us and...
00:03:27Yeah.
00:03:27You know, the dinner party wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be.
00:03:31I feel like we came out really, really good.
00:03:32And also a bit of PDA in front of the group, babe.
00:03:35Happy New Year.
00:03:37Happy New Year.
00:03:38Happy New Year.
00:03:39Yay!
00:03:43I was a happy girl.
00:03:46Like...
00:03:46Yeah.
00:03:47Very, very happy.
00:03:48Last week at retreat, like...
00:03:50It wasn't just one of us coming under, like, that humiliation.
00:03:54It was our relationship and we had to work through that as a couple.
00:03:58And what that really showed me is when there are trying times, we can work through that.
00:04:05And that's really, really reassuring.
00:04:07Yeah, I'm feeling good about us and, uh...
00:04:09Hopefully we can move forward and no more hiccups.
00:04:12But at the same time...
00:04:13It feels like there's still, like, you know, some awkward tension simmering at the top.
00:04:19I don't know if Juliet maybe wanted to say more to Beck or...
00:04:22I hope not.
00:04:24Can I just say, my husband and I are done.
00:04:28We're done talking about retreat.
00:04:30On that note, I think we should make some coffee.
00:04:32Thanks for that.
00:04:34You want a coffee?
00:04:35Yes, please.
00:04:36No worries.
00:04:37Oh, my gosh.
00:04:38He's never done this before.
00:04:46The pressure of the retreat also took a toll on Beck and Danny.
00:04:52Who came close to leaving the experiment for good.
00:04:56But through it all, they found resilience in their relationship.
00:05:00And to lift spirits, today, Danny has a small surprise for Beck.
00:05:05So I've got you a card and your favourite chocolate bar.
00:05:10You're so cute.
00:05:13And it's got a gift in the card.
00:05:18There's two date cards which can be cashed in any time.
00:05:21You're so cute.
00:05:25You're so cute.
00:05:29Me and Beck, we've never been in a better place than at the minute, you know, we're in a really
00:05:33good place.
00:05:34We're really united, really strong.
00:05:37And yeah, things are really progressing well for me and Beck, so it's nice.
00:05:41I am so happy that we didn't leave.
00:05:44I left the retreat thinking there was more hate than there was love, so I'm really glad that we chose
00:05:50to stay.
00:05:50Yeah.
00:05:51Last night, I was really, really anxious before going into the dinner party.
00:05:55I was obviously apprehensive going in, not knowing what I was going to, not knowing what I was getting into.
00:06:01Didn't know if Juliet was going to attack again.
00:06:04And even though Jira and Juliet sat on the couch and didn't come up to us, there was more love
00:06:10in that room for us than there was hate.
00:06:12I think it went well. I was a bit disappointed with the apology. She tried to fluff around it.
00:06:18For me, when it comes to Juliet, I do not want anything to do with her.
00:06:25I accept her apology on the surface, but we will never, ever, ever, ever be friends.
00:06:32I think Juliet apologised because the experts were watching.
00:06:36My delivery and me calling you names was disgusting and vile, and I definitely should have not done that.
00:06:43But in the heat of the moment, I felt angry.
00:06:47Just kind of felt like, you know, you were speaking for Rachel's relationship and saying that they were in a
00:06:53massive fight.
00:06:55The argument at retreat was between Rachel and I, and Juliet's excuse was, I was standing up for Rachel.
00:07:02No, honey. You weren't standing up for Rachel. This is just the crux of who you are.
00:07:08Beck and Danny aren't the only couple reflecting on Juliet's behaviour last night.
00:07:13I'm so stoked and I'm so relieved that Juliet didn't pop off at Beck, otherwise I was going to step
00:07:21in because it was getting a bit too much.
00:07:22So, I'm really thankful that we didn't have to get to that point, and Juliet actually articulated herself well.
00:07:28She apologised, she seemed genuine, and yeah, I'm glad it didn't escalate.
00:07:33Yeah, I thought it went well.
00:07:35I wouldn't go as far as saying I'm proud of Juliet.
00:07:37I feel like she fucked up the exact same way two times back to back, and kind of still had
00:07:42a lot of buts and rebuttals to everything last night.
00:07:45Well, for me, I'm proud of her. She's my friend, so I'm proud of her.
00:07:49You're allowed to be proud of her.
00:07:50Yeah.
00:07:51I'm just saying that, like, I just feel like I'm going to keep her at arm's length because I still
00:07:55just don't trust her much at the moment.
00:07:57I see it as a small step that she apologised, and she didn't go back to the old Juliet, and
00:08:02for that reason I'm proud of her.
00:08:03So, I'll stick with that.
00:08:05Yeah.
00:08:05Yeah.
00:08:06You don't have to have the same opinion as me.
00:08:07No, no, I didn't say I had to. I'm just telling you I'm proud of her.
00:08:10Yeah, yeah.
00:08:10Yeah, cool.
00:08:19I'm just feeling defeated, I guess.
00:08:23Juliet has woken this morning, still upset about last night's intense dinner party.
00:08:31It was just me being empathetic for Rach's situation and feeling it, like, in full force.
00:08:38Like, that's what I do as an empath. I feel people's pain in full force, and I take it on.
00:08:45Which, like, I probably should have not done for someone who was just going to help kick me down a
00:08:51bit further.
00:08:51And that's what I felt like Rach did.
00:08:54Like, I feel like I would never, ever, ever help to, like, humiliate and shame someone who stood up for
00:09:02me in any degree, really.
00:09:04I just feel like I've been, like, a rock for so many people this week.
00:09:10And when time came to it, I didn't see those people around me.
00:09:17The only reason I have this situation with Bec right now is because I've been defending others all week over
00:09:24it, feeling their hurt and joining in on it.
00:09:26Like, I'm here to be a rock and an empath to people.
00:09:31I just hope to get the same back sometimes.
00:09:35Have you spoken to Gia since last night?
00:09:38Um, she's checked in on me this morning.
00:09:40Do you think you guys will be okay going in?
00:09:43Yeah, I definitely love her.
00:09:45I'm right or die for Gia.
00:09:47Do you think Gia's still right or die for you?
00:09:50Yeah, I mean, her texting me this morning to check in.
00:09:53And I've also got a missed call from her.
00:09:57Like, that's really nice.
00:09:59And I love her and I miss her.
00:10:00And I think when I saw that, like, tea stream down my face, because I really, really, really, really love
00:10:05her.
00:10:08If someone has bitched about Gia, yeah, like, I'm done with them.
00:10:11And, obviously, that gets me caught in other situations.
00:10:17It's my character, though.
00:10:18I'm a right or die for my friends.
00:10:29As the commitment ceremony draws closer, our couples are all getting set to face the experts.
00:10:43But for one participant, tonight's focus has been shifted to exposing another bride in the experiment.
00:11:00Gia has been sitting on some damning text messages written by Beck.
00:11:07But instead of planning to reveal the messages herself, Gia has chosen to share the text messages with another participant.
00:11:15Oh, thank you again.
00:11:19Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.
00:11:45you look stunning as always thanks how do you give it a ceremony I know a bit
00:11:51interesting at the moment though I gotta say what's wrong last night I was
00:11:56talking to Juliet I showed her some screenshot of some things that Bec's been saying using
00:12:02disgusting language so then I actually was getting my nails done and when I walked into
00:12:09the nail salon Bec was leaving the nail salon and started talking shit about Juliet so I called
00:12:16Juliet and I said hey just letting you know I ran into Bec she said this and she's like cool
00:12:19well I'm sick of this bitch talking about me so she's gone and printed out some screenshots so
00:12:25that if the experts come at her for using that language I'm sure Bec will deny using
00:12:29that language and go oh I don't talk like that Juliet will probably just drop a screenshot of
00:12:33Bec saying language like that I don't agree with the language Juliet used I think it was a bit
00:12:41inappropriate and too far but the screenshots show that Bec is very comfortable using that
00:12:46kind of language so I don't know like I don't know what way it's gonna go tonight some things in
00:12:53the
00:12:53message that were really disgusting Bec has gotten away with a lot of shit in this experiment she's
00:12:57done a lot of things wrong by a lot of people some of them are still unaware that she's done
00:13:01this
00:13:02behind closed doors so I think the screenshots if they are aired out they helped me because what I've
00:13:09been saying this whole time is she is a calculated evil person and those screenshots show that I don't
00:13:16blame Juliet she's she's now got them in her hands and she's gonna do what she's gonna do with
00:13:20them so if Juliet feels that she needs to do this tonight then Juliet should do this shit yeah well
00:13:29I don't know what to expect could blow out a proportion that's for sure whatever happens happens
00:13:35yeah nothing's gonna affect us so
00:14:03good evening good evening gentlemen hello welcome gents hello hello good evening welcome
00:14:24hello ladies and gents hello hello hey Bob darling we go
00:14:43welcome everybody to the fifth commitment ceremony now it has been a very eventful week for all of
00:14:50you coming off the back of a couple's retreat now we do this task and it is a pivotal one
00:14:58every single
00:14:59time during the experiment so that we can see how you operate as couples outside of your normal environment and
00:15:09how your
00:15:09relationship sustains a different type of pressure certainly from the dinner party that occurred last night the group has
00:15:20experienced some division we will look at this as well as the individual couples that sit here tonight
00:15:30to find out exactly how you're traveling along but also particularly to get you to think about
00:15:37the very important question of whether or not you can take this relationship from the experiment into the real world
00:15:48and on that note let's get our first couple up
00:15:56Gere and Scott
00:15:58great
00:15:59how are you going hello hello you two hello welcome
00:16:08all right you two well why don't we kick off with the couples retreat how was it
00:16:13do you want to talk or do you want to talk
00:16:14yeah go
00:16:14oh
00:16:18um
00:16:19I don't know it was quite chill for us well throughout the days obviously
00:16:22chill
00:16:22no throughout the days I look at the good stuff
00:16:27like it was just a lot the retreat to be honest it was just really emotional
00:16:30I think a lot of us are drained from it to be honest
00:16:33can you tell us a little bit about what you experience and how it's affected your relationship
00:16:39uh to be honest it hasn't affected our relationship any of the drama I it hasn't at all we've been
00:16:44like he even said the last two days like we're the closest we've ever been I think like
00:16:50you know he's called me his soul mate at the dinner party like I just want to focus on like
00:16:54the positives
00:16:54because I've been involved in drama too much and it's taken a toll on me to be honest
00:17:00I just don't want to focus on it anymore to be honest I think we're near the end and everyone's
00:17:05focusing and should be focusing on our relationships and that's what we're doing
00:17:08and I think when we shut out all that drama like
00:17:11we're even better
00:17:12we're great
00:17:14that's just other shit it's got nothing to do with us
00:17:17it doesn't affect our actual relationship
00:17:20because what we have together is real and that's all that matters so
00:17:23respectfully for them too I won't talk to them anymore that's because I want to carry on my relationship
00:17:27and I think it's not good we interact because all it does is bring drama to us
00:17:30were you and Danny friends?
00:17:32we were
00:17:34you know
00:17:34like it does suck because we had a good friendship but
00:17:36well that's one of the things that you know we need to bring up
00:17:40what we saw at the dinner party was that you've actually had to lose a friendship as a result of
00:17:46some of the drama
00:17:47exactly
00:17:49when I walked in the dinner party with Bec Scott didn't get up to even acknowledge we were in the
00:17:54room
00:17:55I was just a bit disappointed that as a man and as a gentleman you didn't get up to say
00:17:59hello to me and my wife
00:18:02we're doing that so we aren't involved in drama anymore
00:18:05it's difficult you know at the retreat you yelled out at me that I'm a liar in front of people
00:18:09so like how do you expect my husband's going to react to that?
00:18:11you lied about me as well Gia
00:18:13yeah but we're trying to move forward and you're interrupting our card session
00:18:16shut up
00:18:41we don't care anymore okay
00:18:43don't lie about me
00:18:44we didn't say hello to both of you because we do not like you either
00:18:47don't lie about me
00:18:48so we're not going to go say hi
00:18:49how are you?
00:18:51not doing it we're done
00:18:53alright let's go back to Scott and Gia
00:18:56yes please thanks
00:18:57I just want to move on my relationship because that's all that matters
00:19:00that's all we care about that's what I came here for I didn't come here for high school shit
00:19:04I came here to find the love of my life and that's it
00:19:09but to be fair your involvement in the drama has been there right throughout the experiment
00:19:17so we've got to hold you to account and say there is a reason why there's drama swirling around the
00:19:24two of you
00:19:25what you're saying now is that you're making a concerted decision to move away from it
00:19:30right
00:19:33do you think you can do that?
00:19:35last dinner party I didn't say anything and I should have and I didn't
00:19:39so I wanted to back Juliet and I said to myself I can't get involved anymore
00:19:45I can't get involved
00:19:47so Gia how's your relationship been able to move forward through this conflict
00:19:55and not collapse under that pressure?
00:19:58I'll just ignore the shit
00:20:00also I feel like our connection is too strong
00:20:03like there's no way
00:20:05and this just proves it to me all the shit can get thrown at us and our relationship doesn't change
00:20:11what I do find is though like
00:20:12I told you John when I met you what I was after and I said my number one thing is
00:20:17I've never had a man back me in my life
00:20:19so when he does this like
00:20:22yeah like
00:20:24this is all I asked for
00:20:27I've just never had like a soul connection like this in my life like I don't think much could waver
00:20:32it to be honest
00:20:33so have you fallen in love with him?
00:20:36I'm not saying that John
00:20:39what are you waiting for?
00:20:40him?
00:20:41yeah because I feel like he knows where I'm at and I need him to say it first to be
00:20:48honest
00:20:50for me like I don't know what it is like I don't know whether I'm scared or I'm it's fear
00:20:54I don't know what it is
00:20:56maybe I'm pressured to force that love quicker than what it should be
00:21:00for me I just there's something in my mind like I just I need more of this outside world in
00:21:05before I can really give that true love
00:21:07but I know I'm getting there and I know it'll probably happen
00:21:10so have you two talked about the future and specifically what your relationship would look like?
00:21:15we've spoken a lot about it we've been looking at real estate
00:21:17we've been looking at houses and like I got a quote from a mover already like I'm like we're doing
00:21:21it?
00:21:23yeah we have like we've already looked at areas and places to get a house and stuff because I need
00:21:28to get a bigger place but
00:21:30I have to say that I really have enjoyed how raw and honest you've been tonight with us
00:21:37and had each other's back and you're very invested in one another and that's what we love to see
00:21:46so on that note we're going to go to the decision
00:21:48I think we're pretty unshakable and I'm really excited to move forward and see what the future holds for us
00:21:53so I've got the stay and I've got the Gold Coast
00:21:56Judy
00:21:58look at that manifesting aren't you?
00:22:01yeah I am actually
00:22:02we're just I don't know we're so friggin good
00:22:05like there's not much to say I just bring on the challenges because we already just hit the end of
00:22:09the road so
00:22:10yeah

00:23:20what's your take on what happened at the couples retreat and how it landed for you?
00:23:27I made a poor choice in words in a speech on the first night
00:23:32and it was a distasteful joke that was not meant maliciously and I've apologised to Rachel and I've
00:23:38seen Rachel and Stephen a number of times
00:23:43I didn't say it expecting to upset Rachel and I understand why it did
00:23:50and I'm sorry to you both again
00:23:54from that came
00:23:58a really bad few days for me personally
00:24:02um
00:24:04it just turned into sort of a pylon
00:24:06a little bit
00:24:07I was isolated and
00:24:11you know one day I was just in bed crying for hours
00:24:16so yeah it was hard for me
00:24:18it opened my eyes to maybe you know when I have been
00:24:23curt and unkind to people in the past at the beginning of this how that may have felt for Alyssa
00:24:28for example
00:24:29and that's just awful
00:24:32but through that hardship came something so beautiful and I could actually say thank you to those girls
00:24:39because what they did was made my relationship tenfold stronger
00:24:43and us so much closer
00:24:45because he didn't leave my side
00:24:48and I could depend on him
00:24:52so as a couple this really pressured situation that you're under has actually taken you to another level
00:25:03tell me how confident are you that you know this has the legs to actually go into the real world
00:25:13look I've got to be honest I'm scared
00:25:16I am I'm scared and
00:25:18what are you scared about?
00:25:20I'm scared that I have like my feelings are stronger for Daniel than they than his are for me
00:25:25ah
00:25:26sometimes
00:25:26sorry babe
00:25:27have you ever said that before to him?
00:25:29no
00:25:29okay so this is a very big moment for you
00:25:32and I'm scared that
00:25:33what makes you feel that way?
00:25:35I don't know I just know how
00:25:37how
00:25:38how
00:25:38I
00:25:39I look at him and I think I don't
00:25:42I can't imagine my life without him now
00:25:45and I don't want to
00:25:46but I don't know whether or not he feels that way about me
00:25:51have you asked him?
00:25:53no
00:25:54well now's as good a time as any
00:25:56Jesus Christ

00:26:13the question is
00:26:14can you envisage your life without me
00:26:17in it?
00:26:19because I can't envisage my life without you in it now
00:26:33because I'm just going through what we're going through

00:30:59you're in front of the whole experts the group
00:31:02yeah it put me on the spot a little bit but
00:31:04I think I dealt with it well
00:31:08I don't feel that you should tell someone you love them unless you truly mean it
00:31:13love's a massive thing and it's a word that shouldn't be chucked around loosely
00:31:17so look she could tell me 10,000 times if I don't feel that I'm not going to say it

00:32:09And the relationship going places tell us about everything
00:32:13Oh you heard about that
00:32:14We were observing the dinner party
00:32:17Word gets around here doesn't it
00:32:18Well yes
00:32:20Okay
00:32:22Um we'll start before the retreat
00:32:24Um
00:32:26You know me and Rachel were uh
00:32:30You know
00:32:31I'm doing well
00:32:34It was a passionate moment
00:32:36I felt connected with Rachel
00:32:39How passionate
00:32:40It was really nice
00:32:42I got that part
00:32:44It was like
00:32:49I've known
00:32:50Like Steven has expressed
00:32:52From many weeks ago
00:32:54That to increase intimacy
00:32:56Would mean that he would need to feel
00:32:58More of an emotional connection
00:33:00Yes
00:33:01To me
00:33:01So it was
00:33:03Really special
00:33:05Because
00:33:05He obviously felt that with me
00:33:08So yeah
00:33:09It was
00:33:10It was a nice connecting moment
00:33:13And I just really felt
00:33:14I could just feel
00:33:16Our relationship start
00:33:18Like take this trajectory
00:33:19It was
00:33:20Yeah
00:33:21It was really nice
00:33:23Really connecting
00:33:25But
00:33:26We've only
00:33:28Increased intimacy that one time
00:33:32Why has there been
00:33:34No follow up on that
00:33:36Um
00:33:40Okay so
00:33:42Um
00:33:43Obviously the next day
00:33:44Was sort of the
00:33:45Retreat
00:33:48And this is where it all
00:33:50Unfolds a little bit
00:33:52So
00:33:52Um
00:33:55Rachel expressed
00:33:56Our good news
00:33:57To
00:33:57The group
00:33:58And
00:33:59There was a
00:34:00Comment that was made
00:34:01Um
00:34:02Sort of in bad taste
00:34:05And
00:34:05Uh
00:34:05Rachel
00:34:06Um
00:34:07Was really upset
00:34:08By the comment
00:34:08And it was just
00:34:11Three days of
00:34:12Carnage really
00:34:14Um
00:34:14The retreat for me and Rachel
00:34:16Was meant to be a
00:34:18Sort of a getaway
00:34:19And a redemption
00:34:20From our honeymoon
00:34:21Mmhmm
00:34:21And it pretty much
00:34:23Deteriated from
00:34:24Day one
00:34:25And
00:34:27You know
00:34:27Night after night
00:34:28Um
00:34:29You know
00:34:30Rachel was
00:34:30You know
00:34:31Sort of really upset
00:34:32And I guess to answer
00:34:33The question
00:34:34Um
00:34:35Yeah the last thing
00:34:36I found
00:34:37You know
00:34:37I was gonna do
00:34:38Is pull moves
00:34:39When Rachel was
00:34:40Really
00:34:40Sort of hurt
00:34:41And I
00:34:41Just
00:34:42Yeah we just
00:34:42Didn't
00:34:43Went in that mood
00:34:50So obviously
00:34:51We did hear
00:34:52From the cocktail
00:34:53And dinner party
00:34:53What the comments
00:34:54Made were
00:34:55And I guess
00:34:56My question to you
00:34:57Rachel is
00:34:57Why did it have
00:34:59Such a big impact
00:35:00That it lasted
00:35:01Three days
00:35:04So
00:35:04We are talking
00:35:05About the comment
00:35:06That Bec made
00:35:07Correct
00:35:07Yes
00:35:08Yes
00:35:08Yes
00:35:09Yes
00:35:09Yes
00:35:09Um
00:35:11In the moment
00:35:12That the comment
00:35:13Was made
00:35:13Now
00:35:13I understand
00:35:14It wasn't made
00:35:14With malice
00:35:15It wasn't made
00:35:16To make me feel
00:35:16Any type of way
00:35:17However
00:35:18Because I had
00:35:19Shared
00:35:21I chose my language
00:35:22Very carefully
00:35:23When I shared
00:35:24With the entire group
00:35:26That wording
00:35:27Right at the end
00:35:28It just felt like
00:35:29It cheapened it
00:35:30I felt humiliated
00:35:31So it just
00:35:32Bec
00:35:33It just became
00:35:34This really big thing
00:35:35And it just
00:35:36Didn't mean to be
00:35:38Looking back
00:35:38And how I feel
00:35:39On that
00:35:40I definitely
00:35:41Was influenced
00:35:42By the information
00:35:43That was given
00:35:44To me
00:35:45100%
00:35:46By Juliet and Gia
00:35:52After reflection
00:35:55I feel like
00:35:56I've been used
00:35:56As a pawn
00:35:58In something
00:35:59That is
00:36:00There's still a rift
00:36:01Between Juliet
00:36:02Bec
00:36:03And Gia
00:36:04And I feel like
00:36:06This situation
00:36:08Kind of allowed
00:36:10Them to like
00:36:10Have something else
00:36:11To fuel up about
00:36:14That's how I feel now
00:36:16Yeah
00:36:19So you feel like
00:36:20Juliet and Gia
00:36:21Used you as a pawn
00:36:22As a way to
00:36:25Generate more drama
00:36:25With Bec
00:36:26Because there's been
00:36:27Clearly
00:36:28A rift there
00:36:31In their relationship
00:36:33To be fair
00:36:36When Bec did
00:36:37Make these comments
00:36:38With me
00:36:39I said
00:36:39I didn't want
00:36:40Any part of it
00:36:41Bec was coming
00:36:42To me
00:36:42With this stuff
00:36:43I said
00:36:44I didn't want
00:36:44The drama
00:36:44And she would
00:36:45Cover her mic
00:36:46And say even
00:36:47More stuff about it
00:36:47It's just a fabricated story
00:36:49It didn't happen
00:36:50I can't
00:36:50I cannot
00:36:51I did not want
00:36:52Any of this
00:36:53I was trying
00:36:53To not engage in it
00:36:55I cannot
00:36:55She was coming
00:36:56To me with it
00:37:01And so this is
00:37:02I guess
00:37:02Where I don't know
00:37:05That's honestly
00:37:06Just how I was feeling
00:37:07I just didn't know
00:37:09What was real
00:37:11And what was real
00:37:12Being told to me
00:37:13And what wasn't
00:37:14And yeah
00:37:18With it
00:37:19It's just been
00:37:19A really emotional time
00:37:21I call it
00:37:21The retreat hangover
00:37:24And it's just
00:37:25A pretty good description
00:37:26It did interfere
00:37:27A little bit
00:37:28With our relationship
00:37:32I call things off
00:37:34Intimacy wise
00:37:35But in terms of our relationship
00:37:38I felt like we got stronger
00:37:41As a couple
00:37:43Because it was like
00:37:45Yes there was a lot
00:37:46Happening with our relationship
00:37:47And like you know
00:37:48It felt like there was a lot
00:37:49Outside doors
00:37:49About talking about
00:37:50Our relationship
00:37:51But when I was really upset
00:37:54Like I just wanted my husband
00:37:55And he was there
00:37:56And we were really
00:37:57Connected that way
00:37:59It just wasn't like
00:38:02Intimacy
00:38:03Was it like that
00:38:04For you Stephen
00:38:06At the moment
00:38:07Yeah the intimacy thing
00:38:08Is just
00:38:08Not there
00:38:09But I'm still
00:38:10Close and connected
00:38:11With Rachel
00:38:12I'm still comfortable
00:38:12I mean
00:38:13We're still having
00:38:14You know
00:38:15Good dates together
00:38:16And we're having fun together
00:38:17We're laughing
00:38:18So you know
00:38:19It's still good
00:38:21I'm confident
00:38:22We're
00:38:22Yeah we're
00:38:22We haven't gone backwards
00:38:24I love the giggles
00:38:25Oh it's gorgeous
00:38:26Love it
00:38:28Yeah
00:38:32With that
00:38:33Let's go to the decision
00:38:35Um
00:38:36Rachel
00:38:37Yeah
00:38:39Stay or leave
00:38:40Um
00:38:40Look this week
00:38:41Was just so easy for me
00:38:43And there's no way
00:38:44A man can call me
00:38:45A wonderful woman
00:38:46At a dinner party
00:38:46And not have me stick around
00:38:49Simple as that
00:38:54And Stephen
00:38:55Uh well
00:38:56Um
00:38:57You know
00:38:58We've come a long way
00:38:59In this experiment
00:38:59I'm very happy
00:39:00With the direction
00:39:01It's going
00:39:02And
00:39:03Um
00:39:04I was going to draw
00:39:05A nice little picture
00:39:06For you to show
00:39:06How much I liked you
00:39:07But I realised
00:39:08I can't draw
00:39:09So
00:39:11I wrote
00:39:12Stay
00:39:12Oh the little fish
00:39:15Come fishing with me
00:39:16She's a good catch
00:39:19I will say this
00:39:21Big steps
00:39:22In the right direction
00:39:24On many fronts
00:39:25For the two of you
00:39:26This week
00:39:27That step
00:39:27That you've already
00:39:28Taken
00:39:28To getting more
00:39:29Physically
00:39:30Close
00:39:31And more
00:39:31Physically
00:39:32Comfortable
00:39:33You're going to
00:39:34Want to repeat
00:39:35And I really hope
00:39:36That that is a bit
00:39:37Of a goal
00:39:37In terms of
00:39:38Just really focusing
00:39:39On the things
00:39:40That bind you together
00:39:41And things that
00:39:42Will help nourish
00:39:43That bond
00:39:44That you're constructing
00:39:45So focus on that
00:39:46In the next week
00:39:47You can go back
00:39:48To the room
00:39:50Well done you guys
00:39:51Good stuff
00:40:03Coming up
00:40:04And then I just said
00:40:05Look I love you
00:40:09Phillip's love
00:40:11This can't be true
00:40:14Stella's blind side
00:40:15At the moment
00:40:16He doesn't see Sydney
00:40:17As a possibility
00:40:18To move
00:40:19And in my head
00:40:19This is a breakup
00:40:22And then
00:40:24Express to me
00:40:25What your point is
00:40:26You should be careful
00:40:29When I have
00:40:30Screenshots
00:40:31Of what you've said
00:40:32About Alyssa and David
00:40:34Vile
00:40:35It was vile
00:40:49Our next couple
00:40:50Tonight
00:40:55Sam and Chris
00:40:56Let's go
00:40:59Hello
00:41:00Hello
00:41:01Hello
00:41:01Welcome
00:41:02How are we doing?
00:41:05Well how was retreat
00:41:07For you guys?
00:41:08It was good
00:41:09I was always going
00:41:11Into the retreat
00:41:12With the intention
00:41:12That I would make
00:41:13The next move
00:41:15But there was
00:41:16A lot going on
00:41:16So when we got
00:41:17Back from the retreat
00:41:18As he was unpacking
00:41:19I just went into
00:41:21The bedroom
00:41:21And said
00:41:22Hey Chris
00:41:22Come in here
00:41:23For a second
00:41:23And um
00:41:24Wait no
00:41:24I was actually
00:41:25Doing my laundry
00:41:26In my underwear
00:41:27I had all my clothes
00:41:29And he's like
00:41:29Chris come in
00:41:30I was like
00:41:30Yeah what
00:41:31And I was like
00:41:32Oh right
00:41:32Okay
00:41:33It's a bit short
00:41:33With me
00:41:36And he made business
00:41:37He made business
00:41:39Yeah
00:41:39We broke the
00:41:40Friend zone
00:41:41So we're out of
00:41:42The friend zone
00:41:42Excellent
00:41:44Proud mama
00:41:45Always
00:41:46Always
00:41:47Yeah
00:41:48So let me ask you this
00:41:49Then
00:41:49Mr. Slowburn
00:41:52That's not what
00:41:52We're calling me
00:41:53Is it
00:41:53No no no
00:41:54Not anymore
00:41:55No not anymore
00:41:57Do you feel
00:41:58Um
00:41:58You're still
00:41:59Burning slow
00:42:01Um
00:42:01Right now
00:42:02There's feelings
00:42:02I won't deny that
00:42:03Because I wasn't
00:42:04Going to act
00:42:05On any intimacy
00:42:06Until there was
00:42:06So that's a clear
00:42:07Sign that there was
00:42:08You know
00:42:08I turned to you
00:42:09In the retreat
00:42:10And I said
00:42:10Like I think of you
00:42:11As my boyfriend
00:42:11And like
00:42:13Like that has
00:42:14Is what's changed
00:42:15I guess
00:42:15Or has developed
00:42:17Is probably a better word
00:42:18And what about
00:42:19Your feelings Chris
00:42:20Um
00:42:21Yeah
00:42:21So my feelings
00:42:23For Sam
00:42:23Have been pretty strong
00:42:24Since I met him
00:42:25Like that's who I am
00:42:26I'm like
00:42:26Yep cute
00:42:27You know
00:42:28Tick
00:42:28Six foot
00:42:29Like tick
00:42:29Blah blah blah
00:42:30Um
00:42:31So I've
00:42:31Yeah
00:42:31Six foot three
00:42:33Six foot three
00:42:34Um
00:42:37And are you starting
00:42:38To think about
00:42:38Life
00:42:40Outside the experiment
00:42:41I think what it would
00:42:42Probably look like
00:42:43Is it just like
00:42:44Say we go well
00:42:44Everything ticks the boxes
00:42:46We'd have a place in Sydney
00:42:47So he'd go to Sydney
00:42:48I would stay
00:42:49Primarily at the farm
00:42:51And then maybe we can
00:42:51Float back and forth
00:42:52For a bit
00:42:53From Sydney to the farm
00:42:54Ah someone's been
00:42:55Thinking about this
00:42:55Quite a bit of detail
00:42:56Well yeah
00:42:57I think that's what
00:42:58It would look like
00:42:59If we are successful
00:43:00And I want us to be successful
00:43:01But he has a lot of stuff
00:43:03To do in the city
00:43:03Whereas I'm like
00:43:04Cool to be at the farm
00:43:05Full time
00:43:06Um
00:43:06And I'm just excited
00:43:07For the next four weeks
00:43:08On this experiment
00:43:09And see where we end up
00:43:11Well we're going to go
00:43:13To a decision
00:43:13Cool
00:43:14Today
00:43:15I wrote
00:43:16Stay
00:43:17Yes you did
00:43:19I'm not yelling
00:43:19It's just I'm very excited
00:43:20To be here
00:43:21Very loud
00:43:22Love it
00:43:23Loud and proud
00:43:24Yeah
00:43:25Beautiful
00:43:26And you Chris
00:43:27Okay
00:43:27Pretty obvious
00:43:28I also wrote
00:43:29Stay
00:43:31Well done
00:43:32Thank you so much
00:43:33You guys
00:43:36Thank you guys so much
00:43:37Thank you guys
00:43:38Well done
00:43:39Thank you
00:43:46Well done guys
00:43:47Thanks so much guys
00:43:48Yeah
00:43:50Our next couple
00:43:52Up on the couch
00:43:55Alyssa and David
00:44:00Hello you two
00:44:01Hello
00:44:01Hey
00:44:02How's it going
00:44:04We're going well
00:44:05But we're more interested
00:44:06In how you guys are going
00:44:07Oh
00:44:08Okay
00:44:09I can't shake him off
00:44:10She can't kick me off her leg
00:44:12Are you trying
00:44:13I can't
00:44:14Well do you know what
00:44:15I have tested
00:44:16Yeah
00:44:17I'm just being honest
00:44:18I've tested
00:44:19I've tried to shake him off
00:44:20And he won't leave
00:44:20So
00:44:21You know
00:44:21He likes it
00:44:23He obviously
00:44:23Likes the challenge
00:44:24I know this is very cute
00:44:26And playful
00:44:28But do you like it
00:44:29I'm not going to lie
00:44:31It's not like
00:44:32I won't say
00:44:33I won't say I like it
00:44:34But I can handle it
00:44:36She is
00:44:37Obviously
00:44:37More of the storm
00:44:39And I'm the calm
00:44:41And for some reason
00:44:43Like you know
00:44:43I'm just so
00:44:44Pulled towards that storm
00:44:46But I find like
00:44:47I'm able to
00:44:48Harbour that storm
00:44:49And it doesn't get to me
00:44:50I even get happy
00:44:51Talking about it
00:44:52So
00:44:53Yeah
00:44:54I can't explain it
00:44:55So Alyssa
00:44:57You know
00:44:58When you initially
00:44:59Talked about
00:45:00Some of the
00:45:02Questions you've got
00:45:03Around David
00:45:04And whether he
00:45:05Challenges you
00:45:06Is it fair to say
00:45:08Now that
00:45:08You're seeing
00:45:09His character
00:45:11His calmness
00:45:12As being something
00:45:13That
00:45:13It's challenging me
00:45:14It's challenging you
00:45:15But also
00:45:16That you're actually
00:45:17Responding really well to
00:45:18It actually is
00:45:20Like
00:45:20It's because
00:45:21It's a new thing
00:45:22For me
00:45:22To overcome
00:45:24And it's a good thing
00:45:26I know that I
00:45:27You know
00:45:28I'm a bit of a menace
00:45:29Sometimes
00:45:29I'm a bit loud
00:45:30And I can be challenging
00:45:32But
00:45:33He's
00:45:33He is a pillar
00:45:34He's a strong
00:45:35Safe
00:45:36Place
00:45:38It's another reason
00:45:39Why I
00:45:40I'm still drawn to Alyssa
00:45:42It's because
00:45:43I know I'm good for her
00:45:44I think we balance each other out
00:45:45Really well
00:45:46David how do you feel about
00:45:48Alyssa
00:45:50Feel like
00:45:50I'm still falling for Alyssa
00:45:52I don't think anything's changed
00:45:53Like I do see a future with her
00:45:55And I want her to know that
00:45:57She can't scare me off
00:45:59Like it doesn't scare me
00:46:00At all
00:46:01I'm falling for you
00:46:04Alyssa how does that feel
00:46:05To hear that
00:46:06It's really nice
00:46:07Yeah
00:46:08Like it's really nice
00:46:09Well with that being the case
00:46:11Let's go to the decision
00:46:13Like I said
00:46:13I am falling for you Alyssa
00:46:15And
00:46:16You know
00:46:17I like every part about it
00:46:18The bad
00:46:19The good
00:46:19The ugly
00:46:20And
00:46:21And the fun
00:46:22And the fun
00:46:22The fun
00:46:23A lot of fun
00:46:24Everyone can attest to that
00:46:25She's a ball of fun
00:46:27And
00:46:27I'm looking forward to seeing
00:46:29How the rest of this goes
00:46:31So yeah
00:46:34Today
00:46:34Great stuff
00:46:36Alyssa
00:46:36What you got for us
00:46:39Oh well I can't shake him off
00:46:41Like he's just
00:46:42He's just hanging in there
00:46:43So I've decided to
00:46:44To stick around
00:46:46Love it
00:46:47Amazing
00:46:47And on that note
00:46:51Go back to the group
00:46:51Well done guys
00:46:53Thank you
00:46:53Thank you
00:47:05Alright let's get our next couple up
00:47:09Stella and Phillip
00:47:10Yay
00:47:15Hello
00:47:16Hello
00:47:19Wow
00:47:20Pre-emptive tissue grab
00:47:22I'm coming prepared
00:47:23Yeah
00:47:23Come prepared
00:47:24Noted
00:47:25I am curious
00:47:27Why the tissue grab
00:47:29I'm in a very sensitive
00:47:33Mood
00:47:34Yeah
00:47:35Yeah
00:47:36I've sensed that
00:47:37So what's going on for you
00:47:40Um
00:47:42It's okay
00:47:43I think it all kind of
00:47:45Unravelled
00:47:46Um
00:47:47When
00:47:48Phillip
00:47:48Confessed his feelings
00:47:53Um
00:47:58Conversations got really heavy
00:47:59Really quick
00:48:03So
00:48:04The last commitment ceremony
00:48:06Alessandra was saying
00:48:07Look I don't understand the confusion here
00:48:09You're dancing around
00:48:10Talk about how you feel
00:48:13Why don't you just tell her
00:48:14So
00:48:15That night I told her
00:48:16You know
00:48:17Come over here
00:48:18Come sit down
00:48:18She thought she was in trouble
00:48:21And then I just said
00:48:23Look I
00:48:24I love you
00:48:27I'm feeling it
00:48:28You know
00:48:30And it felt good saying that
00:48:32And you're right
00:48:33You were right
00:48:33Just express it
00:48:34Just say it
00:48:35If you're feeling it
00:48:38Stella
00:48:39What specifically
00:48:41Did that feel like
00:48:42For you
00:48:43Hearing that
00:48:45I went into
00:48:46Self-preservation mode
00:48:49Um
00:48:51And I think
00:48:52My big fear of
00:48:53Abandonment
00:48:53Came up
00:48:54To play
00:48:54Okay
00:48:57And yeah
00:48:58I don't know
00:48:59But that reaction
00:49:00Surprised me
00:49:04Stella
00:49:04Did you tell Phillip
00:49:05That you loved him back
00:49:07I did in my own
00:49:08Long-winded way
00:49:13What does that mean
00:49:15Um
00:49:22Phillip did you receive
00:49:23And I love you
00:49:25She's just like
00:49:25Sent a long-winded way
00:49:27Of saying it
00:49:29So
00:49:31Phillip has shared to you
00:49:32That he has
00:49:34Deep feelings for you
00:49:36He's falling in love with you
00:49:37He sees a future with you
00:49:41What specifically
00:49:42Did that feel like
00:49:44For you
00:49:45Hearing that
00:49:51It felt
00:49:55This can't be true
00:50:04What's it going to take
00:50:05For you to believe
00:50:06Phillip
00:50:08I don't know
00:50:09I
00:50:09I
00:50:11I think
00:50:13I do have
00:50:14An amazing human
00:50:15As my partner
00:50:16Who understands
00:50:17Me
00:50:18But
00:50:19The fact that he lives
00:50:20In Melbourne
00:50:21I live in Sydney
00:50:23This is going to be
00:50:24An issue
00:50:25For me
00:50:28At the moment
00:50:29He doesn't see Sydney
00:50:30As a possibility
00:50:31To move
00:50:33Then in my head
00:50:34This is a breakup
00:50:41So from your perspective
00:50:42Phillip needs to move
00:50:44To Sydney
00:50:44Or it's off
00:50:50If I'm being honest
00:50:51With myself
00:50:52And with Phillip
00:51:00It seems like that
00:51:02You know
00:51:21So from your perspective
00:51:23Phillip needs to move
00:51:24To Sydney
00:51:24Or it's off
00:51:31If I'm being honest
00:51:32With myself
00:51:33And with Phillip
00:51:41It seems like that
00:51:43Yeah
00:51:49I see it
00:51:50As a catch-22
00:51:53At the end
00:51:54Of the whole experiment
00:51:55You go back to Melbourne
00:51:57And I feel like
00:51:58I can not
00:52:00Love a man
00:52:01That's going to leave
00:52:02With me
00:52:02So unless he gives me clarity
00:52:06I can't
00:52:08Be like
00:52:09Yes I love you too
00:52:12Phillip
00:52:13How does that feel
00:52:14To hear that
00:52:16I think that's unfair
00:52:20Because everything
00:52:21From day dot
00:52:21Is
00:52:22I'm in Sydney
00:52:24This is what's happening
00:52:25Just get on my program
00:52:27This is it
00:52:27It's like
00:52:28This needs to happen
00:52:29Or it's not going to work
00:52:30That's a lot of pressure
00:52:31Yeah
00:52:32The relationships
00:52:33Come with conditions
00:52:34Straight off the bat
00:52:36So
00:52:37It is very difficult
00:52:38For myself
00:52:39You know
00:52:44Sometimes she does
00:52:45Talk to me
00:52:46In a certain way
00:52:46That takes me
00:52:48Down a peg
00:52:49Give us an example
00:52:51For instance
00:52:52Like questioning
00:52:53Masculinity
00:52:54Because
00:52:54You know
00:52:55Like me not wanting
00:52:56To go out
00:52:56After a massive week
00:53:00And for Stella
00:53:00Turn around
00:53:01Just going
00:53:01Well that's very feminine
00:53:03What you're saying
00:53:08That's a very feminine
00:53:09Thing to do
00:53:11Sometimes you just
00:53:11Need to go
00:53:12And do
00:53:12What you don't want
00:53:14To do
00:53:14Because that is
00:53:15The masculine thing
00:53:15To do
00:53:16And just saying
00:53:17That I'm not masculine
00:53:20That's very harsh
00:53:23It's not a masculine energy
00:53:24It's just a go energy
00:53:25That women and men
00:53:27Can have
00:53:27To tell him
00:53:28That it's feminine
00:53:29And it's
00:53:29Really attacking
00:53:31His masculinity
00:53:32Yeah
00:53:33I'm not sure
00:53:34If you're aware
00:53:35Of the impact
00:53:36That words like that
00:53:37Can have
00:53:39I don't want
00:53:40To push him away
00:53:40But like that's
00:53:41What kind of happens
00:53:42In the background
00:53:44I start to pick on him
00:53:47So it's like
00:53:48Defence mechanism
00:53:48I think for me
00:53:51I wouldn't like that
00:53:52To
00:53:53I wouldn't like
00:53:54To deal with me
00:53:55In those moments
00:53:59I have one question
00:54:01That pops to mind
00:54:02That I'm curious about
00:54:04How is the physical intimacy
00:54:06With one another
00:54:10It's just
00:54:11Not happening
00:54:13Just not happening
00:54:15Just a few short weeks ago
00:54:17It was a very different story
00:54:19From both of you
00:54:20In that respect
00:54:21With all the stuff
00:54:22Mentally that was going on
00:54:23I felt like a little bit
00:54:25You know
00:54:27Underappreciated
00:54:27And all this kind of stuff
00:54:28I'm like
00:54:29Well why would I want
00:54:29To have sex
00:54:30I don't feel like it right now
00:54:35The thing is
00:54:36I'm not on any birth control
00:54:38And he's terrified
00:54:40For an accident to happen
00:54:44Oh that's very easily
00:54:46Salt
00:54:47Birth control
00:54:50I don't want to take tablets
00:54:51Personally
00:54:54I was like
00:54:56I was like
00:54:56Hey if you're so terrified
00:54:58Of making someone pregnant
00:54:59Maybe just do a snip
00:55:05So um
00:55:09Has anyone heard of condoms?
00:55:10Yes I was going to say
00:55:11In the meantime
00:55:12It's very easily solved
00:55:14With a trip to the pharmacy
00:55:15Condoms yeah
00:55:17Yeah I don't like it
00:55:20The reality is that
00:55:21There is quite early
00:55:23To be making a decision
00:55:24Such as that
00:55:25Especially if you're thinking
00:55:26You want children in the future
00:55:27They're reversible
00:55:28They're reversible of course
00:55:30But it's a procedure
00:55:32Yeah
00:55:32There are other alternatives
00:55:34Where you can make this work
00:55:35That really shouldn't be
00:55:38The factor
00:55:39To bring you guys apart
00:55:41So it almost seems like
00:55:43A little bit of an excuse
00:55:46Maybe
00:55:47To gloss over the disconnect
00:55:50Maybe a little bit
00:55:52Because I've just been
00:55:54Getting thrown around
00:55:54The mental ringer
00:55:55So to speak
00:55:56Yes
00:55:57And I'm just like
00:55:58Do I even feel appreciated
00:55:59Is this someone
00:56:00That I should really be attracted to
00:56:01And putting my sexual energy towards
00:56:03Because I just don't
00:56:04Like I just
00:56:05I feel sometimes
00:56:06That I've just
00:56:07Taken for granted
00:56:10That's pretty major
00:56:11To say
00:56:13For me it's just
00:56:14I just need to feel like
00:56:15I'm fully emotionally wanted
00:56:17Like someone's 100% into it
00:56:19Then I can fully give
00:56:20100% of myself to them
00:56:22That's exactly what was happening
00:56:24Early on
00:56:24From Stella I felt
00:56:26And sometimes
00:56:27As this experiment's been going on
00:56:29There's just been little glimpses
00:56:31Where I've seen that
00:56:31She's not into it
00:56:33Sometimes
00:56:35And it just kind of
00:56:36Gets in my head a little bit
00:56:37And I just withdraw
00:56:38A little bit of that attention
00:56:40You know
00:56:40Until I get it built back up again
00:56:42And then I feel comfortable
00:56:43To do it again
00:56:46You guys are at a really
00:56:47Crucial stage
00:56:48Of your relationship
00:56:50Now
00:56:50And the conversations
00:56:52That you're having
00:56:52Are really really important
00:56:55Stella
00:56:56Before you say something
00:56:58To him
00:56:59I want you to think about
00:57:01How's this going to land for him
00:57:02How's this going to make Philip feel
00:57:04Yeah
00:57:05Before you deliver it
00:57:07Yeah
00:57:07Because my sense is
00:57:09You might be having a few regrets
00:57:11Has that been happening?
00:57:13Yeah
00:57:13Yeah
00:57:13Yeah
00:57:13Absolutely
00:57:14After the fact
00:57:15Absolutely
00:57:15So let's try and eliminate that
00:57:17Through self-awareness
00:57:18Which I know you have
00:57:18Yeah
00:57:20You guys have had a strong connection
00:57:23From the beginning
00:57:23And have pretty much
00:57:25Coasted through all the couch sessions
00:57:27And there's a lot clearly
00:57:28That you hadn't been feeling
00:57:30Like you could open up
00:57:31And talk to us about
00:57:32So I think it's very productive
00:57:34That you have chosen
00:57:35To do that tonight
00:57:36And I
00:57:36Yeah
00:57:37Thank you both
00:57:37For that openness
00:57:40And with all of this
00:57:41To consider
00:57:42And work on
00:57:43Let's go to a decision
00:57:45For this week
00:57:46Philip
00:57:48So
00:57:49That was a lot to take in
00:57:50Yes
00:57:51You know
00:57:51And I'm glad that you're
00:57:53You just kind of told me
00:57:54What's on your minds
00:57:55That in mind
00:57:56I'm going to be writing
00:57:57Stay
00:57:57I love that
00:57:59And Stella
00:58:01Do you want to go?
00:58:03Yep
00:58:03Um
00:58:05I wrote Stay
00:58:10We've got work to do
00:58:11You've got a little work to do
00:58:13Yes
00:58:13That's all
00:58:14Have a great week
00:58:15Thank you guys
00:58:16You're welcome
00:58:17Good luck
00:58:23Good luck
00:58:29Self-preservation comes in
00:58:31Of course
00:58:32In me being
00:58:33No bitch
00:58:34Sorry
00:58:36It's all
00:58:40Keep going
00:58:41You've got the time
00:58:48Coming up
00:58:49Jules
00:58:51Jules
00:58:52Tonight's dramatic conclusion
00:58:55Don't touch me
00:58:57I'm out
00:58:58I'm out
00:58:58I want to go back in
00:59:00I'm just going to
00:59:01No
00:59:02No
00:59:11Last up on the couch
00:59:14Juliet and Joel
00:59:21Hello
00:59:23Hi
00:59:23Hi
00:59:24You too
00:59:24Oh hello
00:59:29What's happening
00:59:33What's happening with you guys
00:59:35Last time at the commitment ceremony
00:59:37Juliet you wrote a stay
00:59:41And Joel you had written leave
00:59:43And there's been quite a turnaround
00:59:48Perfect couple alert
00:59:52Shaky
00:59:53Shaky
00:59:53Shaky
00:59:53Shaky last time
00:59:54It was shaky
00:59:55Yeah
00:59:55It was really shaky
00:59:58We hit rock bottom
01:00:00But I think we've made quite a comeback
01:00:03I have to say
01:00:04I have to say I wasn't expecting such a strong quick turnaround
01:00:09Because the things that were said were so strong
01:00:13Yeah
01:00:13That I can see how it would have been difficult to come out of that space
01:00:19Especially for you Joel
01:00:21Well yeah
01:00:22Like what happened was the following day Juliet came into my apartment
01:00:26And she was crying
01:00:27And she apologised again
01:00:31And I really felt like it was heartfelt
01:00:33And I accepted her apology
01:00:36It was like a reset button
01:00:40And so yeah
01:00:41We went pub crawling
01:00:45This is what you know
01:00:46A couple of beers and a palmy does
01:00:49Yeah
01:00:50So as we progressed through the pubs
01:00:55There was a certain warmness that was brewing
01:00:58And then we went back to the apartment
01:00:59And vibes were good
01:01:01One thing leads to another
01:01:03And a bit of hooking up
01:01:05Just a little bit of hooking up
01:01:07Just a bit of hooking up
01:01:09Such a go
01:01:09And that was nice
01:01:12I think we had a lot of KISS chemistry
01:01:14The KISS chemistry was strong
01:01:16Yeah
01:01:17Yeah it flipped
01:01:19Like I feel like the next day
01:01:20We both kind of texted each other
01:01:22And were like
01:01:22What was that?
01:01:23Like I yeah
01:01:25I completely saw Joel
01:01:26In a completely different light
01:01:29Started feeling like I could trust him
01:01:31And I could feel like I wanted to be close with him
01:01:33And like kind of yeah
01:01:34Touch his leg
01:01:35And like yeah
01:01:36I guess when we did retreat
01:01:38I was like why don't we give it a crack
01:01:40Like why don't we sleep in the same bed
01:01:42And see if there's chemistry inside the bed
01:01:46And yeah
01:01:46It feels like he was like giving protector energy
01:01:49Which is another thing I'm attracted to
01:01:52I think like Joel is brilliant in so many ways
01:01:56There's just
01:02:00You know
01:02:01In a time of crisis
01:02:03When I'm feeling like I'm in a situation
01:02:05I just hoped that I would have more of a rock
01:02:09By my side
01:02:11When did you need that from Joel specifically?
01:02:14When we had the dinner party
01:02:18You know
01:02:18When I was apologising to Beck and Danny
01:02:21For my crude words
01:02:25I feel like
01:02:27The conversation was going on
01:02:29A lot longer
01:02:30And I kept trying to apologise
01:02:32To diffuse it
01:02:32Diffuse it
01:02:33Diffuse it
01:02:33And I just kind of wanted Joel in that moment
01:02:36To just be like
01:02:38Look she's apologised
01:02:39And taken accountability
01:02:39Like I think
01:02:40We can take a pause
01:02:43And so I just kind of feel like
01:02:44I was fighting for myself a little bit
01:02:46And I admire how Danny was
01:02:48Standing up for his wife
01:02:50And being there by Beck's side
01:02:52And I see Scott do it for Gia as well
01:02:55You know
01:02:55Multiple times
01:02:56And David
01:02:58Doing it for Alyssa
01:02:59And
01:03:01And I just feel like
01:03:02I just didn't get that
01:03:08What do you say to that Joel?
01:03:10I felt like
01:03:11Danny and Beck
01:03:13Were respectful to Juliet
01:03:16I felt like
01:03:17They were giving her a fair shake
01:03:20So I didn't feel the need to step in
01:03:23If they were coming at her
01:03:25And attacking her
01:03:26And hurling insults at her
01:03:28I would have stepped in
01:03:30I just didn't see that
01:03:31And I think Juliet has a different perspective
01:03:34On what happened
01:03:40From everything that happened last week
01:03:42Yeah
01:03:43That was called out by Joel
01:03:45Because he was on the receiving end of that
01:03:49Why did you call Beck the names that you called Beck?
01:03:54Why choose again
01:03:56To use very aggressive
01:03:59Very vicious
01:04:00Very vile
01:04:02Deliveries towards somebody else?
01:04:07I guess what I saw
01:04:09Was the exact same behavior
01:04:11Simply a different target
01:04:13Mm-hmm
01:04:14So why choose to go there again?
01:04:22Honestly, I've seen Beck say much, much worse
01:04:28In the same category multiple times to multiple people here
01:04:32Does it matter?
01:04:33We're not talking about X behavior or about Beck
01:04:35I know, but that's why I felt comfortable doing it to Beck
01:04:36I'm talking about your behavior
01:04:37I know, but that's why I felt comfortable saying it to Beck
01:04:45Why do you think Beck gets so under your skin?
01:04:50Um, because I think she gets away with a lot of her bad behavior
01:04:53Um, I haven't seen her take accountability for some of the things
01:04:58She also claims
01:05:00She'll tell you one thing
01:05:02And then when you address it
01:05:03She'll claim you're lying
01:05:04That gets under my skin
01:05:06And I explode
01:05:07Really pisses me off
01:05:09Sorry, you called me a dumb effing
01:05:12And an effing freak
01:05:13Multiple times
01:05:15There we go
01:05:15Point
01:05:16Sorry, excuse me
01:05:17Express to me what your point is
01:05:20This is why I feel angry
01:05:21Because you've done the wrong thing
01:05:24And you constantly say but, but, but, but, but
01:05:26Um, you should be careful
01:05:28With how much you are upset about me saying that
01:05:34When I have screenshots of what you've said about Alyssa and David
01:05:44Mmm
01:05:47Vile
01:05:47It was vile
01:05:49It was vile
01:05:51You said
01:06:11You should be careful
01:06:13With how much you are upset about me saying that
01:06:17When I have screenshots of what you've said about Alyssa and David
01:06:22Vile
01:06:23It was vile
01:06:24It was vile
01:06:25It was vile
01:06:26You said
01:06:37It's disgusting, babe
01:06:39Express to me
01:06:40Express to me what your point is
01:06:42This is why I feel angry
01:06:43This is why I feel angry
01:06:44What are you trying to prove?
01:06:46You're trying to make me look bad?
01:06:47You get away with everything
01:06:48What have I done to you personally
01:06:50You try to trap me into these conversations
01:06:53No, it's how you try to get into my head
01:06:56I'm not, I'm not talking to you about it anymore
01:06:59Thank you guys
01:07:00Bully me
01:07:03And I was not part of that
01:07:07Juliet
01:07:09So how do you have screenshots?
01:07:23Gia sent them to me
01:07:30What?
01:07:34Why would you do that, Gia?
01:07:36She asked what she was like
01:07:37So I sent some screenshots of, like, conversations
01:07:40I don't look great in them either
01:07:43She's so stupid
01:07:44And then I heard that you were excited
01:07:46That I was going to get up on the CC couch
01:07:50Like, that's such an evil thing to hope for
01:07:54She said that to Gia at the nail salon
01:08:00I didn't say she's going to get
01:08:01I said
01:08:02You said
01:08:02Babe
01:08:03I said
01:08:04You said
01:08:05She said
01:08:07You're going to get in trouble for saying
01:08:08Dumb
01:08:09I said you were going to be held accountable
01:08:11For the way in which you spoke to me
01:08:13Yeah
01:08:13That's such an evil thing to hope for
01:08:16And that's why
01:08:17We came up with a plan of
01:08:18Let's address the screenshots then
01:08:21This is the time to use it
01:08:28So it was a plan
01:08:31Just to be clear, Gia
01:08:32You sent the screenshots to Juliet
01:08:34With the intent that it be used against Beck
01:08:37In her argument
01:08:40I said bad things in there too
01:08:41I didn't really want them out
01:08:44It just shows
01:08:45That
01:08:47Me calling her a DC
01:08:50Is
01:08:51It shouldn't have not been out
01:08:52Like blown up into such a big thing
01:08:54When she's done much worse
01:09:03Wow
01:09:04Can I please give you some insight
01:09:06Of course
01:09:08You could not be further from the truth
01:09:13It is shocking
01:09:14That you would think that
01:09:16Yeah
01:09:19It makes you look so much worse
01:09:22Okay
01:09:22For sure
01:09:23Than Beck
01:09:24It's like conscious retaliation
01:09:27With the purpose to hurt
01:09:33I know
01:09:40And again
01:09:40You know
01:09:41I'm still
01:09:42I'm covering up so much
01:09:46I'm covering up so much
01:09:47I just don't
01:09:48I don't think
01:09:48This experiment
01:09:49Is for me
01:09:50I don't
01:09:56Gia

01:10:12Jules

01:10:16And she bolts
01:10:18Jules
01:10:19No
01:10:20Jules
01:10:21Did you just hear that?
01:10:25Jules

01:10:41No
01:10:42What's going on?
01:10:43I'm going home
01:10:44What's going on?
01:10:45Why are you going?
01:10:45Because
01:10:46You just literally
01:10:48Don't touch me
01:10:49I'm going back to Melbourne
01:10:51Where are you going?
01:10:52You just completely
01:10:52Threw me under the bus
01:10:53How?
01:10:54Yeah
01:10:55Disgusting
01:10:55I have to be honest
01:10:59I have to be honest
01:11:00I'm so evil

01:11:03So evil
01:11:03F*** off

01:11:10Are you leaving?
01:11:11Yeah

01:11:13Go away

01:11:38Cool down
01:11:40Should I check if they're alright?
01:11:42Yeah
01:11:42Should I check if they're alright?
01:11:43She's alright
01:11:45To me I also think she's off here
01:11:47I feel like she's going to come back and come for me
01:11:48Because I didn't like her
01:11:49She can't
01:11:50She can't
01:11:50She can't
01:12:11Screenshot
01:12:11What was that?
01:12:14You are something else man
01:12:18Who me?
01:12:19It's not nice to hear
01:12:20But obviously like
01:12:22You know
01:12:24I don't think we should get into it anymore
01:12:26I was hoping
01:12:27I'm not
01:12:27Like me and Bec both said shit like this
01:12:30This was weeks ago
01:12:30I don't think
01:12:31It's a lot
01:12:31It's a pretty gross
01:12:32But you know
01:12:38You're going to laugh while you cry man
01:12:41Honestly
01:12:43I feel sick
01:12:52I'm in the toilet
01:13:01I have to pee
01:13:03I have to pee
01:13:04Sorry
01:13:05No
01:13:06I've got to pee
01:13:06No
01:13:19Where's Juliet?
01:13:25Go on
01:13:28Great
01:13:28Okay I'm going
01:13:30Can you get me an Uber please?
01:13:33Can you do mic me please?
01:13:34Unclip this
01:13:35You don't want to go back in a cruise cruise
01:13:36Is that right?
01:13:37No
01:13:38No
01:13:41No
01:13:42No I'm out
01:13:42I'm out
01:13:45I want to go home
01:13:48And not keep copying it man
01:13:50I can't
01:13:50I showed screenshots to a girlfriend
01:13:53Sue me
01:13:54Like
01:13:55Sorry
01:13:55Bec's talking shit about me
01:13:56Non-stop to everyone
01:13:57Focus is never on me and Scott
01:13:59It's about everyone else around me and Scott
01:14:01And it's not fair
01:14:04Oh you're not Gia
01:14:33Yeah
01:14:51Come and grab a seat.
01:14:53Yes, Joel.
01:14:56It's all you, Joel.
01:15:03Did you speak to her?
01:15:06Juliet did what Juliet does.
01:15:08She stormed out.
01:15:10She's gone.
01:15:15And that's such an extreme decision.
01:15:19Leave the experiment.
01:15:22So that's very revealing.
01:15:26What did she have to say?
01:15:28She called me a dog and a pig.
01:15:32No.
01:15:35I'm really sorry you had to listen to her call you names after you were so clearly enthused
01:15:44with what seemed to be progress and better direction.
01:15:50I thought I would give her a chance, right?
01:15:55I think you've been incredibly generous to her, given how she's behaved, not only towards
01:16:01you, but towards others in the experiment.
01:16:04Joel, you are, no doubt, a flamboyant and charismatic character.
01:16:09And some people might say you're an acquired taste, but what you've done throughout this
01:16:15experiment, you've been yourself.
01:16:18You've never wavered on that.
01:16:19And particularly what I admire about you is that you have owned everything that you've
01:16:25done.
01:16:27Regardless, you've never deflected it.
01:16:29You've just taken it on and said, this is me.
01:16:31I'm proud of who I am.
01:16:33You've been consistent throughout.
01:16:36You have maintained incredible integrity.
01:16:39You're to be commended.
01:16:40Thank you very much.
01:16:41I appreciate that.
01:16:43We've been sitting here watching you week after week, thinking, this man is carrying so much.
01:16:51I think it would have been really hard.
01:16:53It's been an absolute pleasure having you in the experiment.
01:16:58We really wish you all the very best for the future.
01:17:02Thank you, Joel.
01:17:08Join the group.
01:17:19Where is she?
01:17:21Where's Jia?
01:17:24Yeah.
01:17:25Couple of dogs, you.
01:17:29Where is she?
01:17:31She's gone.
01:17:33No, she's not.
01:17:35What do you mean?
01:17:36She grabbed her stuff before and she asked for an Uber.
01:17:41You're right.
01:17:43Hmm.
01:17:50I just had a great couch session.
01:17:53Like, we have so much going for one another.
01:17:59But sometimes other girls and their bullshit can interfere.
01:18:04I'm just a bit jittery.
01:18:05I don't know.
01:18:06I don't know.
01:18:10You can't leave like that.
01:18:12Like, we're falling for each other.
01:18:16I'm not going to sit here without her, so...
01:18:18Yeah.
01:18:19I want to go get my wife.
01:18:44Tomorrow night.
01:18:47All will be revealed.
01:18:50It's all here.
01:18:51What I just read was disgusting.
01:18:55What happens when Bette comes face to face with David
01:18:58after those text messages?
01:19:01The comments were wild, disgusting, like mean and vicious.
01:19:04But how do you know what they were?
01:19:06We've seen them.
01:19:16We've seen them.
