00:00:00So excited to show David around. My hopes are...
00:00:03They're here.
00:00:05When the couples took off across the country,
00:00:08they tasted married life beyond the experiment.
00:00:12You've always told me, don't come here to Sydney for me.
00:00:15Well, I'm open to moving now.
00:00:17And for Stephen...
00:00:18Must admit, I kind of like holding a rod and getting kissed.
00:00:21He gave Rachel the reassurance she needed
00:00:24to begin their next chapter together.
00:00:26What I see is a wife outside the experiment
00:00:29It really reaffirms the feelings are real,
00:00:32the feelings are neutral.
00:00:35My feelings are, like, they're pretty gone.
00:00:39Emotions ran high for some...
00:00:41You should be able to say something nice
00:00:43and be genuine about it.
00:00:44And despite winning over her nearest and dearest...
00:00:47David is everything that you've asked for.
00:00:50I don't know, I feel like I'm getting overwhelmed with it.
00:00:52David still felt he wasn't able to be the calm to Alyssa's storm.
00:00:57She still sees negatives.
00:00:58There's nothing else I can do.
00:01:00What's that?
00:01:01Why is it pink?
00:01:02Is it your ex's or something?
00:01:03And on the Gold Coast...
00:01:05I see you being pressured.
00:01:06Like, you need to be able to voice your concerns.
00:01:07Like, are you scared about her reaction?
00:01:09Pretty much.
00:01:10Scott struggled to voice his issues with Gia.
00:01:13I feel like sometimes I'm walking on eggshells.
00:01:15Do you know what I mean?
00:01:15I mean, like, no, no, no, what I'm saying is, like...
00:01:17I didn't know you wanted to argue today.
00:01:20Tonight.
00:01:22In just a short time, you have one of the biggest decisions
00:01:25that you're going to have to make.
00:01:27Whether or not you can take this relationship
00:01:30into the real world and make it a success.
00:01:34Welcome.
00:01:35It's the last commitment ceremony of the experiment.
00:01:39This is a very pivotal night.
00:01:41And after two months of marriage,
00:01:43uncomfortable truths will be exposed.
00:01:46I want a partner who can have
00:01:48a constructive conversation with me about an issue.
00:01:51I can't mind reading.
00:01:52It's not mind reading.
00:01:52It's not mind reading.
00:01:53Oh, my gosh, I can't.
00:01:54I cannot.
00:01:54Boom.
00:01:55David reveals what's really going on
00:01:57in his relationship with Alyssa.
00:01:59You did mention I was a weak man.
00:02:01She called you a weak man?
00:02:02Yeah.
00:02:03So that's a problem.
00:02:05No, no, no, do not blame me.
00:02:07After weeks of giving her heart to Danny...
00:02:09I'm not going to walk down to final vows
00:02:12with someone that's a maybe about me.
00:02:15Is this the night Beck finally calls it quits?
00:02:18I'm not doing it.
00:02:20I'm not.
00:02:21And then...
00:02:22What I'm seeing here is fake.
00:02:25I'm going to call you out.
00:02:26I've seen it the entire experiment.
00:02:29If you don't let us in, you're not going to last.
00:02:32It's Scott's moment of truth.
00:02:35I'm getting a bit nervous.
00:02:40What I'm going to talk about tonight is
00:02:42I don't want you to be upset.
00:02:44What I'm going to talk about is feelings
00:02:46where I...
00:02:49Take a breath.
00:02:52Breathe.
00:03:10It's the morning of the final commitment ceremony.
00:03:14Yummy.
00:03:16Get some caffeine.
00:03:17Cheat.
00:03:18Yeah.
00:03:19And after eight weeks in the experiment,
00:03:21tonight marks the last time
00:03:23the couples will come face-to-face with the experts.
00:03:27How'd you sleep?
00:03:28Yeah, I slept really well.
00:03:29Really, really well.
00:03:30I love our little midnight make-out sessions.
00:03:33Some people have chats.
00:03:34We have make-out sessions.
00:03:35We have make-out sessions.
00:03:36Yeah.
00:03:37I love it.
00:03:38This week, during homestays,
00:03:40the couples were tested
00:03:41as they prepare for a life outside the experiment.
00:03:45It was good.
00:03:45I'm just enjoying the last couple of weeks.
00:03:48Stella and Philip continue to evolve as a couple,
00:03:51having said,
00:03:52I love you.
00:03:55Rachel and Stephen have been slower to open their hearts.
00:03:59But day by day, their connection grows.
00:04:02It was really good to tell everyone about our homestays
00:04:05and even reflecting on it,
00:04:07like, after last night's dinner party.
00:04:09Do I dare say that we're one of the strongest in the group now?
00:04:15Dare to say it, babes,
00:04:16cos I've been saying it.
00:04:19Oh!
00:04:22For Alyssa and David,
00:04:25homestays has exposed cracks in their relationship.
00:04:30I feel like David and I
00:04:32have been a strong couple throughout this experiment.
00:04:35I still believe we are
00:04:36because we have each other's back.
00:04:38It's just hard to be careful.
00:04:39It's just...
00:04:39You know, we have been honest with each other
00:04:41about a lot of things.
00:04:42But since homestays, it's taken a turn.
00:04:45We have had deep conversations, big conversations,
00:04:48and David's maybe held back
00:04:51from saying what he really felt in that moment
00:04:53or questioning what I meant in that moment.
00:04:55And now, towards the end of the experiment,
00:04:57it's all coming out.
00:04:59How are you feeling?
00:05:01Um, I'm feeling...
00:05:05like...
00:05:07we've got a lot going on right now at the moment.
00:05:09Just, uh, we're not really understanding each other.
00:05:12Yeah.
00:05:13I feel like we have a lot to unpack
00:05:14and a lot to, you know, break down.
00:05:17And, yeah, there are some cracks.
00:05:19And, you know, the pressure of the experiment ending,
00:05:21it's definitely taken its toll on me.
00:05:27I felt in homestay that I'm like,
00:05:29OK, he's keen to move to Adelaide.
00:05:31Wait, haven't met his family.
00:05:32Wait, haven't met his friends.
00:05:33Oh, wait, I don't even know he's got multiple jobs.
00:05:35Like, I don't know if he's stable.
00:05:37I want to have a family.
00:05:38Like, this is me spiralling
00:05:39because I'm like, this is too good to be true.
00:05:42Obviously, homestays is quite late,
00:05:43but it's brought up a lot of other things
00:05:45that we should have dealt with a long time ago.
00:05:47Like, have the conversations if you don't agree with something
00:05:51or have the conversation or ask the questions
00:05:52when you don't understand something that I've said.
00:05:54Well, all I'm going to say is...
00:05:56We should have gone there, but we haven't.
00:05:58And I haven't felt, like, challenged enough.
00:06:02You need to break through that softness and be strong with me
00:06:04because I want to be a team with you
00:06:06and talk things through and, um, you know, like...
00:06:10It's so frustrating to sit here
00:06:12trying to express my side of the story
00:06:15and I can hardly get a word in.
00:06:17I feel like there are holes.
00:06:18I think there was a...
00:06:19All I'll say is...
00:06:20There are cracks.
00:06:20There was a bit of, like...
00:06:23The last couple of days, what I've been struggling with
00:06:26is I haven't been as, like, willing to have those...
00:06:30Hard conversations.
00:06:31Hard conversations with you about how I was feeling.
00:06:33But, babe, like, if you don't talk to me
00:06:35about your reservations, that's not healthy, babe.
00:06:38Yeah.
00:06:39Talk to me.
00:06:40We need to voice.
00:06:42And that's what I need in this relationship.
00:06:43And that's... You're not fulfilling that need for me.
00:06:46And I believe that it's right to put it all out on the table.
00:06:50I don't ever want to have to hold back.
00:06:52I don't think it's that you hold back,
00:06:53but I think one thing about you is you hold on too much...
00:06:57Babe, I know, but...
00:06:57Babe, you sleep.
00:06:58Babe.
00:07:02You're spiralling within yourself.
00:07:03No, I'm not.
00:07:04Are you done?
00:07:05You know what I mean?
00:07:05I can't even get a word in.
00:07:08I feel like it's a slap in the face.
00:07:11Alyssa says she wants a hard, challenging conversation
00:07:14and she's wanted this for a long time,
00:07:15but it's not just like that with Alyssa.
00:07:18It's not.
00:07:18Respect is only on her terms
00:07:20and the relationship only goes her way or the highway.
00:07:24So that is a big deal break for me as well.
00:07:26It is the first time where I feel like
00:07:28both of us are very disconnected
00:07:31a lot more than we ever have
00:07:33going into a commitment ceremony.
00:07:36And tonight, I'm just going to be completely honest
00:07:38because I've hit my limit
00:07:39and I'm not going to, like, hold back.
00:07:43I'm just going to put it all on the table.
00:07:49As for Danny,
00:07:51his controversial views
00:07:53resulted in a tense argument with Bec
00:07:55at last night's dinner party.
00:07:58It makes you feel like a bit of a bitch
00:08:00moving in with a woman.
00:08:02What are you on about?
00:08:04He's talking about feeling emasculated
00:08:06if she was the one who owned the house.
00:08:10F*** me!
00:08:14And this morning,
00:08:15they are still struggling to resolve the issue.
00:08:18People can feel how they want to feel.
00:08:20You know what I mean?
00:08:21Whether other people agree with it or not,
00:08:23like, it's not up to them.
00:08:25This is how I feel.
00:08:26I feel like moving in with a woman
00:08:28just doesn't feel very manly of me,
00:08:31you know?
00:08:31Yeah.
00:08:33You don't understand.
00:08:34I do understand.
00:08:35I get what you're saying.
00:08:36But I suppose
00:08:39if we're talking about
00:08:41creating a life together
00:08:42after this experiment,
00:08:44then you're going to have to get over that.
00:08:48Am I right or am I right?
00:08:51The funny thing is with Bec,
00:08:53when she feels a kind of way,
00:08:54it's a completely valid feeling.
00:08:56That's how she feels.
00:08:58But when I say,
00:08:59it makes me feel this way,
00:09:01oh, nah, but that's not right.
00:09:03It's not actually to do with you being a woman.
00:09:05I wouldn't move in with anyone
00:09:06and just, like, freeload often.
00:09:09You pay the bills,
00:09:09I'll pay the mortgage,
00:09:10you'll be done.
00:09:10Easy.
00:09:12Finito.
00:09:14Other than that,
00:09:14we had a great night.
00:09:16It's, uh, yeah.
00:09:17And whilst Bec and Danny
00:09:20continue to disagree,
00:09:22our other couples are preparing
00:09:24for the final commitment ceremony
00:09:26of the experiment.
00:09:28You look great.
00:09:30You too.
00:09:31Yep.
00:09:32Yeah.
00:09:33Very pure, you know?
00:09:35Yeah.
00:09:36Yeah.
00:09:36Very appropriate.
00:09:37Very appropriate.
00:09:39As our couples face the experts
00:09:41for the last time,
00:09:43a defining choice awaits.
00:09:47Tonight,
00:09:48they must decide.
00:09:50Stay in the experiment
00:09:52through to final vows,
00:09:54or walk away
00:09:55from their marriages
00:09:57for good.
00:10:01For Scott,
00:10:02the pressure is mounting.
00:10:04He feels it is now or never
00:10:06to reveal his true feelings
00:10:08to his bride, Gia.
00:10:10Final commitment ceremony tonight.
00:10:13Crazy, isn't it?
00:10:15Yeah, can you believe
00:10:16that we've made it this far?
00:10:20Yeah, I definitely
00:10:21didn't imagine it.
00:10:25I do think
00:10:26we had a great week.
00:10:27I don't think
00:10:28we're going to have
00:10:29too much feedback tonight.
00:10:30I think
00:10:31it was great.
00:10:32Like, I can't fault
00:10:33homestays.
00:10:34It went really well.
00:10:35Positive,
00:10:36good vibes, you know?
00:10:37So hopefully
00:10:38not getting grilled
00:10:39hard tonight.
00:10:40I feel like
00:10:41I've been hit a bit
00:10:43throughout this experiment
00:10:44from the experts.
00:10:46Yeah.
00:10:47Yeah.
00:10:55I get nervous
00:10:56going to the
00:10:57commitment ceremony
00:10:59because
00:10:59I still can't be
00:11:01100% myself
00:11:02and I feel like
00:11:03I just can't have a voice
00:11:05sometimes
00:11:05because she thinks
00:11:06we're going to have an argument
00:11:07and I want her to be able
00:11:08to understand that
00:11:08we need to speak
00:11:09anecdotally
00:11:09knowing that
00:11:10if I have a concern
00:11:11or she has a concern
00:11:12we can talk
00:11:12and it's not going to
00:11:13lead to a disaster.
00:11:14You've got to be able
00:11:15to communicate.
00:11:16So you ready for tonight?
00:11:18I don't like
00:11:19commitment ceremonies,
00:11:20you know that?
00:11:21Yeah.
00:11:22I feel like
00:11:23we're at the point
00:11:23where, you know,
00:11:25we're almost falling in love.
00:11:26Yeah.
00:11:28Then I feel like
00:11:29if she feels more than me
00:11:30and she doesn't get
00:11:31anything back from me
00:11:31she'll start spiralling
00:11:32and start saying
00:11:33harshful things to me.
00:11:36Very harshful things.
00:11:39And so then I feel like
00:11:40I can't talk
00:11:42and I go quiet
00:11:44and I go flat.
00:11:46That retracts me
00:11:47every time
00:11:48and that's what pushes me
00:11:49away from falling in love
00:11:50and I don't think
00:11:50she understands that.
00:11:52So you just got to look
00:11:53at the positives, you know?
00:11:57Personally,
00:11:58I love to speak up
00:11:59and share everything
00:11:59because it's good
00:12:00to get feedback.
00:12:02But there's another side
00:12:03of me where I feel like
00:12:04I want to present
00:12:05to protect my wife.
00:12:06I don't want to feel
00:12:07unstable, upset
00:12:08or, you know,
00:12:08get nervous
00:12:09or have a breakdown.
00:12:10So, you know,
00:12:11I think how is she
00:12:12going to react
00:12:12if I say these things?
00:12:13All right.
00:12:15See you in there.
00:12:17Bye.
00:12:18Sometimes I'm like,
00:12:19well, I'm just not
00:12:20going to talk about it.
00:12:22I'm just in the air.
00:12:23I don't know what to do.
00:12:24Bye.
00:12:25Bye.
00:12:45Hello.
00:12:46Hi.
00:12:47How are you guys?
00:12:49Very well.
00:12:50Welcome.
00:12:51Hello, guys.
00:12:52Hi.
00:12:53Hello.
00:12:53Good evening.
00:12:54Welcome.
00:12:54Hi.
00:12:58Hi.
00:13:17Hello, ladies.
00:13:18Hello.
00:13:18I'm Chris.
00:13:19Hi.
00:13:30Welcome, everybody,
00:13:31to the very final
00:13:33commitment ceremony
00:13:34of this experiment.
00:13:36Now, this is a very,
00:13:38very pivotal night
00:13:40because it is the very
00:13:41last time
00:13:42that you get to sit
00:13:43in front of the experts
00:13:45and to hear the feedback
00:13:47that we have for you.
00:13:50Now, in just a short time,
00:13:51you have one of the
00:13:52biggest decisions
00:13:53that you're going
00:13:53to have to make,
00:13:54whether or not
00:13:55you can take
00:13:56this relationship
00:13:57in the experiment
00:13:58into the real world
00:13:59and make it a success.
00:14:02And as we know
00:14:03as experts,
00:14:04if you are not
00:14:06completely vulnerable
00:14:07with your partner
00:14:08at this stage
00:14:09of the experiment,
00:14:10then your relationship
00:14:12will crumble
00:14:13on the outside.
00:14:15it will not last.
00:14:18Now, with that being said,
00:14:21let's get our first couple up.
00:14:27Alyssa and David.
00:14:38Hello.
00:14:40Hello.
00:14:42So, how are things?
00:14:45Um, you know what?
00:14:47Last time we were on the couch,
00:14:50things were moving
00:14:52in the right direction.
00:14:52They still are,
00:14:53but we do have
00:14:54some hiccups
00:14:55that we're trying
00:14:57to work through
00:14:57at the moment.
00:14:58Okay.
00:14:59Um,
00:15:00obviously,
00:15:01I'll start by saying,
00:15:02you know,
00:15:03Alyssa is an amazing girl,
00:15:05but personally,
00:15:06I feel like
00:15:08I have, you know,
00:15:09carried a lot
00:15:10of the emotional weight
00:15:11in the relationship.
00:15:12This is just how I feel.
00:15:15What do you mean
00:15:16when you say
00:15:16carry most of the emotional weight?
00:15:19I feel like
00:15:19there has been times
00:15:20where I personally
00:15:22put my emotions aside
00:15:24just to make sure
00:15:25that there was
00:15:27just peace.
00:15:29And this is a thing
00:15:30where, like,
00:15:31I have tried
00:15:32to bring something up
00:15:33at the start
00:15:34of the relationship
00:15:34to Alyssa
00:15:35and I felt like
00:15:35she was not receptive
00:15:37to it.
00:15:38So what that ended up
00:15:39doing for me
00:15:40was making me
00:15:41be more cautious
00:15:42of bringing stuff
00:15:43up to her?
00:15:44Mm-hmm.
00:15:48It was more
00:15:48the reaction of,
00:15:49is it going to
00:15:50become an argument
00:15:51that was going
00:15:52to go out of hand?
00:15:54So what happened
00:15:55with all of that
00:15:57emotion
00:15:57as you describe it?
00:15:58If you weren't
00:15:59expressing that
00:16:00to Alyssa,
00:16:01what were you doing
00:16:02with it?
00:16:06Well,
00:16:07anything little
00:16:08that I didn't
00:16:09really care about
00:16:10didn't really affect me,
00:16:10so I'd brush over it.
00:16:11But what happened
00:16:13in Homestays was
00:16:14I feel like
00:16:15it triggered me.
00:16:16Okay.
00:16:17I was saying
00:16:17Adelaide is a livable place,
00:16:19but I felt like
00:16:20Alyssa was being
00:16:21a bit negative
00:16:23about the move.
00:16:25I feel like
00:16:25she was pointing out
00:16:26all of the reasons
00:16:27why it won't work,
00:16:28which are all valid.
00:16:29We all know
00:16:29that there is things
00:16:30to work out
00:16:31in the real world.
00:16:32But it felt like
00:16:33for me,
00:16:34she was too in her head
00:16:35about it
00:16:36that it's affecting
00:16:37me right now.
00:16:42Do you know why?
00:16:43Because I'm feeling
00:16:44very frustrated
00:16:45at this part
00:16:46of the experiment.
00:16:47This is our last
00:16:48couch session
00:16:49and I'm feeling like
00:16:50there has been
00:16:50some holdback
00:16:52and some of our
00:16:53couch sessions
00:16:53could have been
00:16:54things that we could
00:16:54be working through
00:16:55if we had more
00:16:56open conversations.
00:16:58I feel like
00:16:58he doesn't want
00:16:59to have, like,
00:17:00conflict.
00:17:01But I feel like
00:17:02there is healthy
00:17:03conflict resolution.
00:17:04Otherwise,
00:17:04my relationship
00:17:05in my eyes,
00:17:05this is too good
00:17:06to be true.
00:17:07Can I just stay?
00:17:10I want a partner
00:17:11who can have
00:17:12a constructive
00:17:13conversation with me
00:17:14about an issue.
00:17:16But a partner
00:17:17that shuts you down
00:17:18and tells you
00:17:19what they're saying
00:17:19is Bible,
00:17:21it is an issue.
00:17:22Why have I actually
00:17:22spoken down on you
00:17:23in a bad way?
00:17:25Like, I don't...
00:17:25Well, there's things
00:17:26you've said.
00:17:27I don't want to,
00:17:28I don't want to, like...
00:17:29Well, an example
00:17:30could be helpful
00:17:31for Alyssa here.
00:17:32Well, she has...
00:17:33You did mention
00:17:35that I was a weak man
00:17:35at one point.
00:17:37She called you
00:17:38a weak man?
00:17:39Yeah.
00:17:42So that's a problem.
00:18:07So that's a problem.
00:18:14What was the context around that?
00:18:18It was in one of our talks
00:18:19about, like, she's got assets,
00:18:21she's ahead in life
00:18:23and she wants a guy
00:18:24that can match that.
00:18:25So financially weak.
00:18:26Yeah.
00:18:27How did it feel
00:18:28when she said that?
00:18:29Well, I just thought,
00:18:30where's this coming from?
00:18:31And the thing about me
00:18:32is, like,
00:18:33I pick what I want to,
00:18:34like, get upset about
00:18:36and I didn't.
00:18:37Maybe I should have
00:18:38combated that at the time.
00:18:44Alyssa, what was going on for you?
00:18:45What did you want to achieve
00:18:46from saying that to him?
00:18:49I was getting frustrated
00:18:50because I'm wanting
00:18:51more from David.
00:18:52I'm wanting to see
00:18:53more from him.
00:18:54And I feel like
00:18:55I want to be strong
00:18:57together as a couple.
00:18:58I think where I'm struggling
00:18:59is it's...
00:19:00She wants me to be strong
00:19:02on her timeline.
00:19:03And that's where
00:19:04it feels like
00:19:05it is your way
00:19:07or you're not happy.
00:19:10David,
00:19:10do you feel like
00:19:11you're enough for Alyssa?
00:19:12I feel like I'm 100% enough.
00:19:17Do you think
00:19:17she thinks you're enough?
00:19:19I think she does,
00:19:20but the questions
00:19:21that I'm getting
00:19:22are, like,
00:19:23they are confusing me.
00:19:24So what are these questions
00:19:25that are confusing you?
00:19:27Well,
00:19:28the first thing
00:19:29is she's wondering,
00:19:30like, you know,
00:19:30energy,
00:19:31like, in five years
00:19:32or whatever.
00:19:33Is that going to be enough
00:19:33to sustain her?
00:19:34And she has said to me,
00:19:35if I'm not getting
00:19:37the fix I need,
00:19:39I'll go look elsewhere,
00:19:40essentially.
00:19:41No, I didn't say that.
00:19:42She said,
00:19:43I'm hungry,
00:19:44you need to feed me,
00:19:44you need to feed me.
00:19:45I've taught you more
00:19:46in this relationship
00:19:47than you've taught me.
00:19:47I'm wanting to,
00:19:48like, open-ended
00:19:49conversations and stuff.
00:19:50I'm wanting to go deep.
00:19:52Like, I'm putting
00:19:53all my cards on the table,
00:19:53I'm very direct.
00:19:55Like, I'll talk about stuff.
00:19:57I need some sort of fuel.
00:19:58Like, it's just,
00:19:59it's what I like.
00:20:00But I don't know
00:20:01if our relationship
00:20:03is going to last
00:20:05in the real world,
00:20:05if this is the gap.
00:20:09I don't know
00:20:10if we're going to be
00:20:11a good match long-term
00:20:12if this is the energy
00:20:13because I need to see
00:20:14David in his element.
00:20:16I need to see David
00:20:16with his family.
00:20:17I need to see David
00:20:18with his friends.
00:20:18I need to see what he does.
00:20:20Like, I want to have a family
00:20:21in the next few years.
00:20:28And, like,
00:20:29if we want to talk
00:20:30about me seeing things
00:20:31work in the real world,
00:20:32what I need to see as well
00:20:33is if someone says
00:20:34they want to have
00:20:35open-ended conversations,
00:20:36that has to be it.
00:20:37What's happened
00:20:38in this relationship
00:20:38is I've done a lot
00:20:39of listening.
00:20:40Alyssa has done
00:20:40a lot of talking.
00:20:43That's the fact.
00:20:44You need to speak up.
00:20:45No, no, no.
00:20:46But, like, it's,
00:20:47I don't,
00:20:47one thing about me
00:20:48is I think
00:20:49we're both adults
00:20:50and I want to see
00:20:51that in her,
00:20:52that she has the ability
00:20:53to listen.
00:20:54I can't mind read.
00:20:55It's not mind reading.
00:20:55It's not mind reading.
00:20:56Oh, my gosh.
00:20:56I can't.
00:20:56I cannot.
00:20:57I know.
00:20:58I can't mind read, babe.
00:20:59You're frustrating me
00:21:00because I can't read your mind.
00:21:01When something,
00:21:02when she,
00:21:02when I start saying something
00:21:04that she's not getting,
00:21:05I'm frustrated.
00:21:05I don't want to deal
00:21:06with this anymore.
00:21:07No, I'm not dealing with it.
00:21:08I'm just saying.
00:21:08You're now talking in circles.
00:21:10So I'm going to,
00:21:11I'm going to pull you up there.
00:21:12I mean, this has been
00:21:13very enlightening,
00:21:16I think,
00:21:16for us to get a glimpse inside
00:21:18what's really going on
00:21:20in the relationship.
00:21:22So an observation
00:21:23from,
00:21:23from us here
00:21:25is that
00:21:26you've both
00:21:28made missteps,
00:21:29I think,
00:21:30in terms of your communication
00:21:31and what you've brought
00:21:32to the couch here
00:21:33because,
00:21:35Alyssa,
00:21:35you were aware
00:21:36that he was withholding.
00:21:37You knew he was not
00:21:38being up front with you.
00:21:39So you could have
00:21:40brought that up.
00:21:41And so,
00:21:42David,
00:21:42for you,
00:21:43you were choosing
00:21:44not to speak up.
00:21:47You haven't arrived
00:21:48at an outcome.
00:21:49No.
00:21:50But you've helped us see
00:21:51what's going on inside.
00:21:53So thank you for that
00:21:54to this point.
00:21:56So now let's look forward
00:21:58because,
00:21:59as you know,
00:21:59this is the last
00:22:00commitment ceremony.
00:22:01This is almost
00:22:02the end of the experiment
00:22:04for you two.
00:22:05Where to from here?
00:22:08Yeah.
00:22:14Well,
00:22:15I'm sitting here
00:22:15because I want that help.
00:22:18I guess what we need
00:22:19to do is look beneath
00:22:20the arguments here
00:22:22because
00:22:23there's a reason
00:22:24that you have been
00:22:26avoiding
00:22:27bringing these issues up.
00:22:28Yeah.
00:22:29Here's an opportunity
00:22:30to now say,
00:22:31OK,
00:22:31we're going to come
00:22:32at this as equals.
00:22:33Not one putting
00:22:34the other down,
00:22:35not one avoiding
00:22:36and running away.
00:22:36We are coming here
00:22:37together
00:22:38to have this
00:22:39open,
00:22:40honest,
00:22:40mature conversation
00:22:42about what you
00:22:43both want
00:22:43post-experiment
00:22:44because otherwise
00:22:46the last couple
00:22:47of months
00:22:48has been a waste
00:22:48of time.
00:22:50You've got that
00:22:51opportunity now.
00:22:52It's not too late.
00:22:55Can you do that?
00:22:57Yeah.
00:22:58Alyssa?
00:23:00Yeah.
00:23:03You OK?
00:23:06I never,
00:23:07you know?
00:23:09I do believe that
00:23:10the things we have
00:23:11gone through
00:23:12are significant
00:23:13and I believe that
00:23:14there are genuine
00:23:15feelings here.
00:23:16I do feel
00:23:17strong feelings
00:23:18towards Alyssa.
00:23:18That's why I'm still here.
00:23:20OK.
00:23:22All right.
00:23:22Well, on that note,
00:23:23we're going to go
00:23:23to a decision.
00:23:25Alyssa,
00:23:25we'll start with you.
00:23:27I didn't come here
00:23:29for three months
00:23:30to waste it
00:23:30and, like,
00:23:32I came here
00:23:32to find my person.
00:23:35I want to settle down.
00:23:36I want to have a family.
00:23:37I want the happy ending
00:23:38and that is why
00:23:41I want to move forward
00:23:42as a teen
00:23:45and no holding back
00:23:47and because
00:23:48there's so many feelings
00:23:49involved
00:23:50and, like,
00:23:51I really care about
00:23:51this relationship
00:23:52so much,
00:23:53I've decided to stay.
00:23:55OK.
00:23:57And to you, David.
00:24:00Yeah.
00:24:07I'll take your advice
00:24:08on board
00:24:08and, yeah,
00:24:09I'll rock stand.
00:24:14Pleased to see that.
00:24:17This could be
00:24:18make or break
00:24:18for you guys.
00:24:20You're about to make
00:24:21the decision
00:24:22of this experiment.
00:24:24The thing that is
00:24:25going to determine
00:24:25which way you go
00:24:27in your future.
00:24:29Good luck, guys.
00:24:38Good luck, babe.
00:24:39Good luck.
00:24:40Good luck.
00:24:40You're good.
00:24:41You're good.
00:24:43Good luck, guys.
00:24:45Good luck.
00:24:56Good luck.
00:24:56Coming up...
00:24:57You do not have to
00:24:58tell me you love me,
00:24:59but I'm not going to
00:25:00walk down to final vows
00:25:02with someone that
00:25:03I may be.
00:25:04Bec hits her limit.
00:25:06I'm not doing it.
00:25:09And...
00:25:10I...
00:25:10Take a breath.
00:25:11One minute.
00:25:13Breathe.
00:25:14Will Scott speak up?
00:25:18When I care about
00:25:19someone so much,
00:25:20I feel like I can't
00:25:21speak my voice
00:25:22when I'm overconcerned.
00:25:23And it's a weakness of mine.
00:25:35All right,
00:25:36let's have our next couple up.
00:25:40Rachel and Stephen.
00:25:42Hey.
00:25:46Hello.
00:25:47Hello.
00:25:48Hello.
00:25:49How are you?
00:25:50Hi, Anna.
00:25:51I love this energy.
00:25:53Can I just say,
00:25:53Steve,
00:25:54are you got a bit of a swagger?
00:25:55Oh, he sure does.
00:25:57Oh, don't flatter me, John.
00:26:00Especially coming from you.
00:26:05Where do you two
00:26:05want to begin?
00:26:07Homestays.
00:26:07I guess.
00:26:08I mean,
00:26:08it seems like it's had
00:26:09a big impact on the two of you.
00:26:10Yeah.
00:26:13Homestays was
00:26:14a big success for me.
00:26:16And I believe Rachel as well.
00:26:18It's sort of changed
00:26:20the relationship
00:26:21in many ways.
00:26:22Oh, in what way?
00:26:24For me,
00:26:25Rachel was fantastic.
00:26:26She...
00:26:27I showed her my passions
00:26:28and she went out on the boat
00:26:30and she enjoyed herself
00:26:31with a smile ear to ear
00:26:32and we had lots of banter,
00:26:34laughing.
00:26:34It was a really
00:26:36super sweet time.
00:26:37But it's not that
00:26:38she's in the fishing.
00:26:39It's the independence.
00:26:41I can go...
00:26:42I feel like I can rely on Rachel.
00:26:44If something happens
00:26:45in the world
00:26:45where I'm like,
00:26:46geez, can you, you know,
00:26:47help me out with this?
00:26:48Rachel's going to go,
00:26:48got your back.
00:26:49Yeah.
00:26:50And she's just going to get it done.
00:26:51So as a result of that,
00:26:53how do you feel about her?
00:26:56Well,
00:26:58I feel like I can see myself
00:27:00falling in love with Rachel.
00:27:02Woo-hoo!
00:27:04That's massive.
00:27:07Hmm.
00:27:10Rachel, uh...
00:27:12Yeah.
00:27:12These are tears of happiness,
00:27:13I swear.
00:27:14Let's just take a moment,
00:27:15shall we?
00:27:15Just a little bit overwhelmed.
00:27:17Mm-hmm.
00:27:17In a good way.
00:27:21So I feel the same.
00:27:23You know,
00:27:23I can definitely see myself
00:27:24falling in love with you too.
00:27:27There's something going on
00:27:28for you right now, Rachel.
00:27:30What is it?
00:27:30Yeah.
00:27:31This is a very significant
00:27:32moment for you.
00:27:33Yeah.
00:27:34Um,
00:27:35I think I shared with you,
00:27:36John,
00:27:36before I came in here
00:27:37the last time
00:27:39someone told me
00:27:40that they loved me,
00:27:41the very next day
00:27:42they told me
00:27:43that I don't remember
00:27:44saying it.
00:27:47Um,
00:27:48that was after seven years
00:27:49of a...
00:27:51a toxic situationship.
00:27:53And so,
00:27:55um,
00:27:56it's a hard thing.
00:27:57My barriers go up.
00:28:01And so,
00:28:03having this journey
00:28:04with Stephen
00:28:05and knowing,
00:28:06you know,
00:28:07how he feels
00:28:08about vulnerability
00:28:08and when he says
00:28:10something,
00:28:10he means it.
00:28:11So,
00:28:11for him to be
00:28:13sitting here
00:28:13and saying that
00:28:14to me,
00:28:15it,
00:28:16yeah,
00:28:17bam,
00:28:17right in the fields
00:28:18in a really beautiful way
00:28:19because I'm like,
00:28:20yeah,
00:28:21I believe him.
00:28:25And I don't think
00:28:26that I thought
00:28:27that I would believe
00:28:29a man again
00:28:30in that one.
00:28:32You're welcome.
00:28:34And you know what?
00:28:35He said that
00:28:36holding your hand,
00:28:37sitting next to you,
00:28:38and showing you
00:28:41his family.
00:28:42Yeah.
00:28:42All the things
00:28:43that signal
00:28:45he's not going anywhere.
00:28:47Yeah.
00:28:49It's different.
00:28:50It is very different.
00:28:52Is it scary?
00:28:53It's petrifying.
00:28:58What are you scared of
00:28:59the most?
00:29:01I'm scared that Stephen
00:29:03will go back
00:29:03to his life in Sydney
00:29:06and it's just
00:29:07going to be easier
00:29:08for him to let me go
00:29:10because he is
00:29:11high and poor
00:29:12and he has his business.
00:29:14And so,
00:29:15it might be a burden
00:29:18to try and maintain
00:29:19our relationship
00:29:20with me.
00:29:21So,
00:29:22he might just
00:29:22let me go.
00:29:25So,
00:29:26yeah,
00:29:28that's,
00:29:28that's my fear.
00:29:31I feel hurt.
00:29:33Well,
00:29:33how does that land
00:29:34for you,
00:29:35Stephen,
00:29:35when you hear her
00:29:36say that?
00:29:37Um,
00:29:37yeah,
00:29:38it makes me feel
00:29:38helpless at times
00:29:39and I just don't
00:29:40know what to say
00:29:41because I,
00:29:42when I see
00:29:43Rachel in these
00:29:44states,
00:29:44the first thing
00:29:45I want to do
00:29:46is try and comfort her
00:29:47and try to fix
00:29:48the situation
00:29:48or reassure
00:29:49or at least,
00:29:50at least take
00:29:51the edge off
00:29:52a bit.
00:29:53So,
00:29:54if you don't
00:29:54have to fix it
00:29:55and you just sit
00:29:55with it
00:29:56and validate it,
00:29:57can you do that?
00:29:58I can do that.
00:29:59I can't say
00:30:00I'm happy with that
00:30:01but,
00:30:02I mean,
00:30:02it's,
00:30:03it is what it is.
00:30:03It makes you feel
00:30:04a bit uncomfortable?
00:30:05It does.
00:30:05Yeah,
00:30:06good.
00:30:06It does.
00:30:07Good.
00:30:07It does.
00:30:08And the only thing
00:30:09I can say to her
00:30:09is that the only thing
00:30:11that I feel like
00:30:11that's going to fix
00:30:12this is actually
00:30:13go out there
00:30:13in the real world
00:30:14and put it into practice
00:30:15and prove it wrong
00:30:17pretty much.
00:30:18Well,
00:30:19haven't you changed?
00:30:21You know,
00:30:21all the both of you
00:30:22sitting in front of us
00:30:23today.
00:30:24This was all,
00:30:25all done at homestays.
00:30:26It was amazing
00:30:27what homestays
00:30:28did for us.
00:30:29We love it.
00:30:30We love it.
00:30:31All right,
00:30:31let's go to the decision.
00:30:33Start with you first,
00:30:35Steve-O.
00:30:36There was a big
00:30:37question mark with me
00:30:38before homestays.
00:30:39I'm like,
00:30:39this could make
00:30:40or break us
00:30:41but it's just only
00:30:43brought me
00:30:44closer to Rachel.
00:30:45So I'm going to
00:30:47stay.
00:30:48Beautiful.
00:30:49Brilliant.
00:30:50And what about you,
00:30:52Rachel?
00:30:52What have you got?
00:30:53Stay or leave?
00:30:54I know this is going
00:30:54to shock everyone
00:30:56but I wrote stay
00:30:58and that's us
00:30:59on a boat fishing.
00:31:02Beautiful.
00:31:04We have loved
00:31:06watching you
00:31:07through this experiment.
00:31:08You've had some
00:31:09difficult moments
00:31:10along the way
00:31:11but you've grown,
00:31:12you know
00:31:13and the way
00:31:14in which you're
00:31:15together now
00:31:16really
00:31:17it's on display.
00:31:19Everyone sees it.
00:31:20You're a unified
00:31:21couple.
00:31:22It's fantastic.
00:31:23What I would say
00:31:23to you
00:31:24in this final week
00:31:26is don't get
00:31:27inside your head
00:31:27too much.
00:31:29You need
00:31:30to be
00:31:31enjoying
00:31:32this final week
00:31:34rather than
00:31:35thinking too far
00:31:36ahead
00:31:37because that's
00:31:38something that
00:31:38I think in the
00:31:39past
00:31:40you've been
00:31:41a bit guilty
00:31:41of doing
00:31:43and on that
00:31:43you can go
00:31:44back to your
00:31:44group.
00:31:45Come in.
00:31:47Yes.
00:31:48Good start.
00:32:00You made me cry.
00:32:02Oh, you're welcome.
00:32:03Yeah.
00:32:04Yeah.
00:32:16Let's get our
00:32:17next couple
00:32:18up on the couch
00:32:21Bec and Danny.
00:32:25Hey guys.
00:32:26Hello.
00:32:27How are you?
00:32:28Good.
00:32:28Very well.
00:32:31Homestays.
00:32:32Let's start with you
00:32:33Bec.
00:32:34What were they like?
00:32:35They were great.
00:32:37I was in my own
00:32:38estate.
00:32:39I was in my own
00:32:39home with my dog.
00:32:42We saw my family
00:32:43at my auntie's
00:32:44beach house
00:32:45and that was great.
00:32:47Dad and Daniel
00:32:48get along really well
00:32:49which is great.
00:32:51So good start.
00:32:52Great start.
00:32:56What else happened
00:32:57at the homestay?
00:32:59We met Bec's friends.
00:33:01That went pretty good
00:33:02didn't it?
00:33:02Like just like the
00:33:03tough questions.
00:33:04And then that night
00:33:06we went back to Bec's
00:33:08and we were sitting
00:33:09around like having a
00:33:10having a fire
00:33:12and then I cracked
00:33:14a joke
00:33:15like about her
00:33:16cousin fancying me
00:33:19and it landed poorly.
00:33:24What did he say
00:33:25with the joke?
00:33:26Can you just tell us?
00:33:28We were having a bit
00:33:29of an emotional moment
00:33:30with one another
00:33:30talking about our
00:33:31feelings and how
00:33:32it's been on
00:33:33homestays
00:33:34and Daniel said
00:33:35if all else fails
00:33:36at least Daniel
00:33:37fancies me
00:33:37type thing.
00:33:42And I lost it.
00:33:46And why?
00:33:48Because
00:33:48it makes me feel
00:33:50like when we're
00:33:51having this conversation
00:33:52that means so much
00:33:54to me
00:33:54that it diminishes
00:33:56it and it makes
00:33:57it a joke.
00:33:59I get it.
00:34:00I shouldn't have
00:34:01said it but I feel
00:34:02that our fight styles
00:34:03don't really match
00:34:04too well.
00:34:06What scared me was
00:34:08we couldn't rectify
00:34:09it too quickly
00:34:10and where I'm
00:34:12sort of holding
00:34:12back a little bit
00:34:13is I don't
00:34:16I wouldn't want
00:34:16to move
00:34:17and then we have
00:34:18an argument like that
00:34:19and I feel really
00:34:19isolated and alone.
00:34:21I don't want to do that.
00:34:22So arguing is
00:34:23something that scares
00:34:24you when it comes
00:34:26to beg.
00:34:26Why?
00:34:27I think for both
00:34:28of us it just
00:34:29doesn't work.
00:34:33Wow.
00:34:34Okay.
00:34:35What am I saying
00:34:35wrong?
00:34:37Just to use the words
00:34:39for both of us
00:34:39it doesn't work.
00:34:44I'm not saying
00:34:45we don't work
00:34:45I'm saying
00:34:46our fight style
00:34:47doesn't work.
00:34:47Oh yeah
00:34:48that no okay.
00:34:50So this is what
00:34:51happens sometimes
00:34:52I try and say
00:34:53something and
00:34:54Bec takes it
00:34:54in completely
00:34:55the wrong way.
00:34:57Bec what's going
00:34:58on inside of you
00:34:59right now?
00:35:01Um I suppose
00:35:02I'm fearful
00:35:02because I've
00:35:03let every wall
00:35:04down.
00:35:05So what happens
00:35:06to you when
00:35:07he says that?
00:35:08Just
00:35:10kills my soul
00:35:11a little bit
00:35:11to be honest
00:35:12with you.
00:35:16Because I'm like
00:35:17well
00:35:19why haven't
00:35:19you said
00:35:20this to me?
00:35:22Because
00:35:22because what
00:35:23I've been fearful
00:35:23to say it
00:35:24because I don't
00:35:24want to upset you.
00:35:28No no no
00:35:29do not blame me.
00:35:30I'm not blaming you.
00:35:31Don't say
00:35:31you're fearful
00:35:32to tell me
00:35:33because you're
00:35:33going to upset me.
00:35:35I'm here
00:35:36in love with you.
00:35:38We're at the end
00:35:38of this experiment.
00:35:42You're making it
00:35:43seem like
00:35:43I've been holding
00:35:44onto this
00:35:44for six months.
00:35:45Honestly
00:35:45I noticed it
00:35:46in Adelaide
00:35:47when I felt
00:35:47isolated.
00:35:48Up until then
00:35:49I haven't noticed it.
00:35:53Bec I look
00:35:54at your face
00:35:56you seem
00:35:57very concerned.
00:36:02I think
00:36:03he's got
00:36:03more reservations
00:36:04than he lets on.
00:36:05Oh really?
00:36:06I do yeah.
00:36:07I do.
00:36:08I do.
00:36:09I do.
00:36:15Danny
00:36:16Danny
00:36:16look at me.
00:36:18there really
00:36:18is no time
00:36:19for you
00:36:19to make light
00:36:20of the situation
00:36:22because when you
00:36:23add things up
00:36:24Danny
00:36:25it's not making
00:36:26her feel secure.
00:36:27You know
00:36:27you haven't said
00:36:28your feelings
00:36:29back to her.
00:36:30You've gone
00:36:31to the family
00:36:31and they've
00:36:32validated you
00:36:33and then
00:36:34you're not
00:36:35bringing up
00:36:35issues because
00:36:36you're afraid
00:36:36of the fight
00:36:37style.
00:36:38It starts
00:36:39to add up
00:36:40and it makes
00:36:41her feel
00:36:43what?
00:36:43Bec?
00:36:48like he's
00:36:48just not
00:36:48that into
00:36:49me.
00:36:54So that's
00:36:55a problem
00:36:57because this
00:36:57far into
00:36:58the experiment
00:36:58you don't
00:36:59want your
00:37:00partner
00:37:01to be
00:37:01thinking
00:37:03he's just
00:37:03not that
00:37:04into me.
00:37:07Yeah
00:37:07but I am.
00:37:09I've told you
00:37:10that I am.
00:37:11You know
00:37:11I am.
00:37:14So why
00:37:15is she
00:37:15not believing
00:37:15it?
00:37:17I don't
00:37:18know
00:37:18I can't
00:37:18speak for
00:37:19Bec.
00:37:22I'm
00:37:22asking
00:37:24for you
00:37:25to sit
00:37:26there
00:37:26and say
00:37:27to me
00:37:28Bec
00:37:28this is
00:37:28how I
00:37:29feel
00:37:29about
00:37:29you
00:37:29just
00:37:30once.
00:37:33You know
00:37:34how I feel
00:37:34about you.
00:37:35You know
00:37:35I care
00:37:36about you
00:37:36so much.
00:37:37I do
00:37:38know
00:37:38you care
00:37:38about me
00:37:38but
00:37:39where
00:37:39is
00:37:40the passion
00:37:42I see
00:37:42tiny glimpses
00:37:43of it
00:37:44but
00:37:46I feel
00:37:47like you
00:37:47are holding
00:37:47back.
00:37:49You said
00:37:50to me
00:37:50once
00:37:50at the
00:37:50beginning
00:37:51of this
00:37:51experiment
00:37:51and I'll
00:37:52never forget
00:37:52it
00:37:52and it's
00:37:53probably
00:37:54ruined
00:37:54me.
00:37:56Daniel's
00:37:57like
00:37:57well

00:51:28like
00:51:29I guess
00:51:29I'm surprised
00:51:31and like
00:51:32I guess
00:51:33what really
00:51:33sucks
00:51:33is that
00:51:34I was
00:51:35out on
00:51:35the farm
00:51:35and I
00:51:35was like
00:51:36hurting

00:51:38and the
00:51:39kids thing
00:51:39never bothered

00:51:41always something
00:51:41I've wanted
00:51:41in my life
00:51:43and I was
00:51:44just like
00:51:44it was so
00:51:45annoying
00:51:45that everything
00:51:45else would
00:51:46have worked
00:51:51this is
00:51:52this is really
00:51:52disappointing for

00:51:55much hope
00:51:56for the
00:51:57two of
00:51:57you

00:51:59so unfortunate
00:52:00that along
00:52:01the way
00:52:02with all of
00:52:02the pressure
00:52:03that the
00:52:03experiment
00:52:04brings
00:52:04that the
00:52:05wheels
00:52:05have fallen
00:52:06off

00:52:11to find
00:52:11love
00:52:12and
00:52:12you

01:00:13a concern
01:00:14it's a weakness
01:00:14of mine

01:00:17what I find so far
01:00:18is I haven't been
01:00:19able to address
01:00:20a concern
01:00:20without Gia
01:00:21and I having
01:00:22an argument
01:00:22or her spiraling
01:00:25let's say that
01:00:26you want to bring
01:00:26something up
01:00:27and Gia
01:00:27is not in the
01:00:28mood to hear
01:00:28for whatever
01:00:29reason
01:00:31you find yourself
01:00:32simply cowering
01:00:33away from that
01:00:34and not returning
01:00:34to that topic
01:00:38pretty much
01:00:40what have you
01:00:41observed about
01:00:42Gia's behavior
01:00:42that leads you
01:00:43to have that
01:00:44reaction
01:00:46what kind of
01:00:47things could she
01:00:48say
01:00:55can I please
01:00:56just say
01:00:57things that can
01:00:58make someone
01:00:59feel pretty
01:01:00defeated
01:01:00and let down
01:01:01it's not chess
01:01:07honestly
01:01:09if you can't
01:01:10speak honestly
01:01:11in front of
01:01:11Gia
01:01:12about the things
01:01:12that she does
01:01:13and say
01:01:14that hurt you
01:01:14or scare you
01:01:15or make you
01:01:15feel off
01:01:16well he has
01:01:21then I'm really
01:01:22really really
01:01:23concerned about
01:01:24the possibility
01:01:24of this relationship
01:01:26surviving
01:01:26outside the experiment
01:01:42Scott
01:01:42yeah
01:01:44we've got all
01:01:44night
01:01:45I know
01:01:46we're not going
01:01:46anywhere
01:01:47we're going to
01:01:47sit here and ask
01:01:48you uncomfortable
01:01:49questions until
01:01:50you come clean
01:01:52okay
01:01:53I just
01:01:53so
01:01:54if you don't
01:01:55let us in
01:01:57you're not
01:01:58going to last
01:02:00what I'm seeing
01:02:01here is fake
01:02:03I'm going to
01:02:03call you out
01:02:04I've seen it
01:02:05the entire
01:02:05experiment
01:02:07you talk about
01:02:08things
01:02:09in a way
01:02:10where you
01:02:10don't give us
01:02:11any of
01:02:12the information
01:02:13you skirt around
01:02:14the issues
01:02:15I get it
01:02:16you're trying to
01:02:17fly under the
01:02:18radar
01:02:18but what we're
01:02:19saying tonight
01:02:20is that ends
01:02:21yeah
01:02:21okay
01:02:23you sat down
01:02:24here
01:02:24you're petrified
01:02:25of Gia
01:02:25and you're not
01:02:27answering the
01:02:28questions
01:02:32so I'm going to
01:02:33ask you again
01:02:34Scott
01:02:34what kind of
01:02:36things
01:02:37could Gia say
01:02:38that would
01:02:38make you feel
01:02:40fearful of
01:02:40speaking up
01:02:42so this is
01:02:43probably the
01:02:43most magic
01:02:44concern
01:02:45it could happen
01:02:46probably on average
01:02:47once a week
01:02:47I feel like
01:02:49there's a bit of
01:02:49pressure of me
01:02:49to say I'm in
01:02:50love and when I
01:02:51don't say it
01:02:52Gia will tend
01:02:53to spoil and
01:02:54say things like
01:02:55you're a crime
01:02:56you're not a man
01:02:57you're not a provider
01:02:58you don't give me
01:02:59reassurance
01:03:02pretty much every
01:03:03name under the sun
01:03:03right
01:03:05every name under the sun
01:03:06is wild
01:03:07Gia
01:03:08babe
01:03:09the reason why I'm
01:03:10here is because
01:03:11I know she doesn't
01:03:11intentionally mean it
01:03:13it's because it comes
01:03:13from a place of her
01:03:14I'll explain that
01:03:15you talk for yourself
01:03:16and I just
01:03:18will explain babe
01:03:19like listen to
01:03:21what you're saying
01:03:21I know you don't
01:03:23mean it like
01:03:23where's this coming
01:03:24from and like
01:03:25I don't know
01:03:25what it is
01:03:25I just don't know
01:03:27when you're having
01:03:29that situation
01:03:30and there are things
01:03:30that are being said
01:03:31how do you feel
01:03:32in that moment
01:03:34in these moments
01:03:35that you're describing
01:03:35now that
01:03:36where she's coming
01:03:37at you
01:03:37personally
01:03:39I just feel like
01:03:40when it's
01:03:41I just feel
01:03:42completely destroyed
01:03:43like I'm worthless
01:03:45that's pretty major
01:03:47but I just want
01:03:48Gia to know
01:03:49that I care so much
01:03:50about her
01:03:51my feelings are strong
01:03:52I'm falling for her
01:03:53but when these things
01:03:54happen
01:03:54it pulls me back
01:03:55and it holds me back
01:03:58and so Gia
01:04:00what do you think
01:04:01when you're feeling
01:04:03threatened
01:04:03or not happy
01:04:05with what Scott says
01:04:07that you attack him
01:04:09what is that about
01:04:10for you
01:04:11this is a man
01:04:12that you're falling
01:04:13in love with
01:04:14from every indication
01:04:15I've had
01:04:17well I'll just
01:04:18say it out loud
01:04:22this wasn't on camera
01:04:23I told him
01:04:24I'm in love
01:04:24with him yesterday
01:04:27so this is a man
01:04:28you love
01:04:30so where does
01:04:31that come from
01:04:31so for me
01:04:35I've felt this way
01:04:36for Scott
01:04:37for the last
01:04:37few weeks
01:04:39and there's been
01:04:40so many moments
01:04:41where like
01:04:42I wanted to say it
01:04:43and I'm like
01:04:44you can't be the girl
01:04:45who says it first
01:04:45usually it's been
01:04:47the guy who said it first
01:04:48so this is weird
01:04:49for me
01:04:49and I wanted him
01:04:50to know why
01:04:51I've been spiraling
01:04:52it's because of this
01:04:53like I've been wanting
01:04:54to say it
01:04:54and I know he's not there
01:04:55and it's frustrating
01:04:55for me
01:04:56because I feel rejected
01:04:57to be honest
01:04:59the leading up to
01:05:00where you're having
01:05:01these big feelings
01:05:02and that's what's
01:05:02making you feel like
01:05:03oh my god
01:05:03he's gonna reject me
01:05:05why go hurt him
01:05:08because I felt hurt
01:05:10and I was like
01:05:11let me hurt him
01:05:13that's the truth
01:05:18that's a pretty big
01:05:20revelation
01:05:21and also
01:05:23hurdle for Scott
01:05:24to have to handle
01:05:25and walk around
01:05:26eggshells
01:05:27trying to not
01:05:28have you had
01:05:30this reaction
01:05:30I just think
01:05:31this is very new
01:05:32for me
01:05:32I haven't ever been
01:05:33in this situation
01:05:35before
01:05:35but in the situation
01:05:36of saying that
01:05:38you're hurt
01:05:38and therefore
01:05:38you're choosing
01:05:39to hurt back
01:05:41is that the way
01:05:42that you normally
01:05:42are?
01:05:48I'm gonna insist
01:05:49and underline this
01:05:50because I really
01:05:51want you to
01:05:52take in Gia
01:05:53that we can
01:05:55absolutely see
01:05:56how strong
01:05:56your relationship
01:05:57with Scott is
01:05:58but it is a pattern
01:05:59that you're bringing
01:06:00to the table
01:06:00that you need to break
01:06:02because it will be
01:06:03the thing
01:06:04that makes him
01:06:05run the other way
01:06:18the leading up
01:06:19to where you're
01:06:20having these big
01:06:20feelings
01:06:21and that's what's
01:06:22making you feel
01:06:22like oh my god
01:06:23he's gonna reject me
01:06:25why go hurt him?
01:06:28because I felt hurt
01:06:30and I was like
01:06:31let me hurt him
01:06:34that's the truth
01:06:37I'm gonna insist
01:06:38and underline this
01:06:39because I really
01:06:40want you to
01:06:41take in Gia
01:06:42but it is a pattern
01:06:44that you're bringing
01:06:44to the table
01:06:45that you need to break
01:06:47because it will be
01:06:48the thing
01:06:48that makes him
01:06:49run the other way
01:06:57do you feel secure
01:06:58in your relationship
01:06:59with Scott?
01:07:03um
01:07:07like yes and no
01:07:10why no?
01:07:13I don't know
01:07:14because like
01:07:15sometimes I can't
01:07:16bring something up
01:07:17because I'm
01:07:18argumentative
01:07:18or so I don't feel
01:07:19like I'm secure
01:07:20with him
01:07:21and I can be myself
01:07:22so that
01:07:23and like he doesn't
01:07:24feel as strong
01:07:24as I feel
01:07:26like well
01:07:27he could just leave
01:07:29am I gonna move
01:07:30for like?
01:07:31am I gonna take
01:07:31my daughter
01:07:32out of her school
01:07:33in Melbourne
01:07:33and move
01:07:33to the Gold Coast
01:07:34if he just
01:07:34likes me?
01:07:38just don't feel
01:07:39as secure
01:07:39as maybe I could
01:07:41in the relationship
01:07:43so there's still
01:07:44room there
01:07:44for you to grow
01:07:45in terms of security
01:07:46in the relationship
01:07:49how does it make you
01:07:50feel to hear
01:07:52Gia say that
01:07:53she doesn't feel
01:07:53secure in the relationship?
01:07:58I'm confused
01:07:58because Gia tells me
01:07:59that she feels secure
01:08:01I try and tickle
01:08:03the boxes
01:08:04to make a note
01:08:05and reassure
01:08:06that I'm all in
01:08:07on this
01:08:07and like
01:08:07when we have
01:08:08tough times
01:08:09like I just
01:08:10keep telling you
01:08:10I'm here for you
01:08:11I want you to be
01:08:11the shoulder to cry on
01:08:12and like
01:08:12you know
01:08:13whenever there is
01:08:14bad things
01:08:15maybe sometimes
01:08:16I say
01:08:16oh like
01:08:17I don't want to hear
01:08:18it or something
01:08:18like that
01:08:19but you know
01:08:19well that's why
01:08:20I don't feel secure
01:08:23because I'm like
01:08:24well I can't bring
01:08:26that up
01:08:26so like
01:08:27how can I
01:08:28be vulnerable
01:08:28and feel safe
01:08:29because it's swept
01:08:30under the rug
01:08:31you know
01:08:32you shut down
01:08:33my feelings
01:08:34a lot of the time
01:08:35I'm going to say
01:08:35myself
01:08:35I've never shut down
01:08:36your feelings
01:08:36Gia
01:08:37never
01:08:37well
01:08:38that's my perception
01:08:39and I feel like
01:08:40sometimes we'll
01:08:41talk about something
01:08:42and you just
01:08:43don't listen
01:08:44and so then I just
01:08:45stop talking about it
01:08:46because he says
01:08:47I'm arguing
01:08:48and I'm like
01:08:48okay well I just
01:08:48like
01:08:49I'll just forget
01:08:50my feelings
01:08:50let's just leave it
01:08:51because then my brain
01:08:53is like
01:08:53oh my god
01:08:54you're arguing again
01:08:55he's not going
01:08:55to fall in love
01:08:56with you
01:08:56and it's like
01:08:58it's like
01:08:59I can't win
01:08:59to be honest
01:09:00that's how I feel
01:09:06well at last

01:09:09Scott and Gia
