FunTranscript
00:00:02it's the morning after the last dinner party of the 2026 experiment and our
00:00:09couples are still processing the shocking exit of Gia and Scott who have
00:00:14left the experiment and will not continue to final vows I can unpack it
00:00:20in one word carnage I'm not sure what it is that you're looking for Gia but I
00:00:24can tell you're not the one for me we are a different caliber of people it was a
00:00:41pretty epic crash and burn yeah all she had to do was be honest be genuine and
00:00:48focus on their relationship but I didn't think they'd crash out that hard so all
00:00:54of that time in the commitment ceremonies that they could have had working on
00:00:58their relationship they if he would have spoke up earlier they probably would have
00:01:03split up earlier because reality is Gia can't take any criticism she thinks
00:01:09every time it's her being thrown under the bus I did what I needed to do I got Gia to
00:01:14that dinner party on purpose got her there got them got them to have it out with
00:01:21each other I'm very proud of myself actually
00:01:27two can play at that game honey
00:01:32I came into this experiment looking for love I definitely found what I've come here for
00:01:39after three intense months it all comes down to the final vows the four remaining couples must make the life
00:01:52-changing decision
00:01:56here we go will they take their relationship into the outside world or will they say goodbye forever
00:02:07I know this might be hard to hear
00:02:12before
00:02:13hi
00:02:15one of the most magical moments the experiments ever seen
00:02:22Stella I love you more than I ever thought possible
00:02:26but you
00:02:52With the experiment ended, the time for final vows is almost here for our remaining couples.
00:02:59Stella and Philip, Rachel and Stephen, Bec and Danny and Alyssa and David.
00:03:12They'll now separate and spend time weighing up if they'll continue their relationship
00:03:17after the experiment.
00:03:23The next time they meet, they'll reveal their decision at final vows.
00:03:31Our couples must now go back to their respective homes to reflect on their time in the experiment
00:03:36before they make the life-changing decision on whether to remain as a couple or go their
00:03:43separate ways.
00:03:44This time will prove testing for our couples, as they will begin to question if their relationship
00:03:50is strong enough to continue when they leave the bubble of the experiment.
00:03:58Before everyone leaves their apartments, they're reflecting on last night's final dinner party.
00:04:05What about Dave and Alyssa?
00:04:06That was hard to watch.
00:04:08I saw a man coming in there, being vulnerable and getting rejected multiple times.
00:04:14It just doesn't sit well with me.
00:04:16Oh, I'm hurt.
00:04:17I'm hurt.
00:04:17Why?
00:04:18Why?
00:04:18Yeah.
00:04:19He hasn't said or done anything wrong.
00:04:21It's a rejection.
00:04:22It's like finding one little thing that can be pinned on him and just focus on it.
00:04:31Like, come on.
00:04:33To take your ring off, that is a red flag for me.
00:04:36That, to me, is toxic.
00:04:38I never once took my ring off.
00:04:41Yeah, I think Alyssa's checked out.
00:04:43It was a hard watch, you know, seeing him like that.
00:04:45Like, he's actually really, really hurt.
00:04:49But poor David is there desperately trying to win her back and Alyssa's like, no.
00:04:57I actually feel bad for David.
00:04:59I think David's a good bloke.
00:05:00I think he's wore his heart on his sleeve.
00:05:03Alyssa's proven his point as to why he stayed quiet for so long because the second he spoke
00:05:07up, look at how it's gone.
00:05:09The poor bloke can't win.
00:05:11It's a dictatorship.
00:05:12It's not a relationship.
00:05:13Do you know what?
00:05:14I think in time, Alyssa might look back and regret that because David's a good bloke.
00:05:18She's got herself a good bloke there and they're hard to come across.
00:05:21And she's just shutting him out for something pretty minor, in my opinion.
00:05:29It's a lonely last morning for David.
00:05:32After the final dinner party, Alyssa and David retired to separate apartments, both spending
00:05:39their last night in the experiment alone.
00:05:45Today is such a sad day.
00:05:47I'm moving out alone, you know, without my wife.
00:05:54I'm devastated at where we're at.
00:05:57There's been so much pain that I've experienced the last two weeks.
00:06:02Do you have any tattoos?
00:06:02Yeah, I can't show you where that is.
00:06:04It's on your arm?
00:06:05Drop your pants?
00:06:06Yeah, if I have to.
00:06:07Let me do some squats first.
00:06:08So who's, the question is though, who's going to get in trouble by the husbands?
00:06:11I actually don't care if my husband comes for me.
00:06:14He can come for me, but he ain't coming for me.
00:06:16That's right, you know I'm boxing out first.
00:06:17He ain't coming for me.
00:06:18I'm like, show you.
00:06:19Oh.
00:06:21Far out, man.
00:06:22I just gave you my feelings and you said lighten up.
00:06:25Prime example.
00:06:26No, that's just a joke, babe.
00:06:27It's all right, but that's how I feel.
00:06:29We were all just talking, getting to know each other.
00:06:31It was just, you know, chit-chat.
00:06:33We all had a great day.
00:06:35No, I deserve more than that.
00:06:39I'm done too.
00:06:40Here you go.
00:06:43I'm done.
00:06:46Despite everything that's happened, I believe in our relationship and I wanted to fight
00:06:51for it.
00:06:52Last night, I put everything on the line, unashamedly chasing her, trying to get her back and show
00:06:59everyone that I wanted to fight for this relationship.
00:07:02And I'm here because I want to fight for this.
00:07:05I want you to know how much you mean to me.
00:07:07I walked away from someone that was the love of my life.
00:07:10I literally cannot walk away knowing that.
00:07:16She's giving him nothing.
00:07:18You're giving him nothing?
00:07:19It's just sad that I felt like no matter how hard I fought, she didn't want this.
00:07:24I'm literally here because I love this woman.
00:07:26Too late, doll.
00:07:27I understand.
00:07:28Too late.
00:07:28I understand, but it's not too late.
00:07:30It's only too late if you want to throw three months down the drain.
00:07:33I feel like this dinner party's done.
00:07:35Babe, no.
00:07:36Honestly, it's done.
00:07:42Alyssa, last night was someone I don't remember.
00:07:45Someone I don't recognize.
00:07:46She was cold.
00:07:48It felt like the relationship meant nothing to Alyssa.
00:07:52Like, I meant nothing to her.
00:07:56Right now, I'm questioning whether she ever wanted this to start with.
00:08:01No, I'm not going to marry you until you get one down on the air and ask me to marry
00:08:04you.
00:08:04I can't tell if you're being serious.
00:08:07No, I am.
00:08:08So we're not doing the vows until I get down?
00:08:13Alyssa loves to be in control.
00:08:14She loves to be in the driving seat, and I was shut down.
00:08:19I function at a high frequency,
00:08:21and I feel like we're six weeks in.
00:08:24I'm missing that stimulation,
00:08:26that high frequency to make me happy.
00:08:31I'm a more high-functional person than you.
00:08:34Your experience is your experience,
00:08:35but someone on the outside listening in
00:08:37could take it differently.
00:08:39This is a me thing,
00:08:40and I don't know why you're dragging yourself into it.
00:08:42I'm really not dragging myself.
00:08:43I'm just having the conversation.
00:08:45This is a me thing, babe.
00:08:46She says she wants me to challenge her,
00:08:48but when I do challenge her,
00:08:50she doesn't like it.
00:08:51Looking back on it,
00:08:53every time I challenged Alyssa,
00:08:54she shut me down.
00:08:56I can hardly get a word in.
00:08:58Talk to me.
00:08:59Well, I think I...
00:09:00Because, like, we need to voice,
00:09:02and that's what I need in this relationship,
00:09:04and you're not fulfilling that need for me.
00:09:06Well, all I'm going to say is...
00:09:08We should have gone there, but we haven't,
00:09:10and I haven't felt challenged enough.
00:09:14Well, she has...
00:09:15You did mention I was a weak man at one point.
00:09:17She called you a weak man?
00:09:19Mm-hmm.
00:09:20Yeah.
00:09:20So that's a problem.
00:09:23What's happened in this relationship
00:09:24is I've done a lot of listening.
00:09:25Alyssa's done a lot of talking.
00:09:27We're both adults,
00:09:27and I want to see that in her,
00:09:29that she has the ability to listen.
00:09:31I can't mind-read.
00:09:32It's not mind-reading.
00:09:33It's not mind-reading.
00:09:33Oh, my gosh, I can't.
00:09:34I cannot.
00:09:35I know.
00:09:35I can't mind-read, babe.
00:09:39I can't even explain the hurt from last night.
00:09:42You know, getting to bed after that dinner party
00:09:45was the hardest thing that I've had to do
00:09:47this whole experiment,
00:09:48just knowing and replaying those moments
00:09:51where I heard Alyssa say things about me
00:09:54that showed she didn't care about me.
00:09:55It almost felt like she looked down on me
00:09:59for trying to fight for our relationship.
00:10:01I think, you know,
00:10:02you couldn't have asked for anything worse.
00:10:08Feeling much better today.
00:10:10Got a good night's sleep.
00:10:12I've woken up feeling much more relaxed,
00:10:15and, yeah, I'm really looking forward to going home.
00:10:19The day's finally arrived where we're moving out.
00:10:23It's finished.
00:10:24The experiment is officially done and dusted.
00:10:29To see David take his ring off,
00:10:31it really hurt me,
00:10:32because in real life you don't do that.
00:10:34Like, I've never once taken my ring off.
00:10:37Even though they might be little things,
00:10:38they're big things for me.
00:10:40Yeah, I came here for love,
00:10:42and I was falling in love with this person,
00:10:44and then my feelings have changed
00:10:46because of the events that have unfolded this week.
00:10:49I know that he's sorry,
00:10:51but, yeah, there's a lot to process
00:10:53before making this decision in a few days.
00:10:58Down the hall,
00:10:59an emotional Rachel and Stephen
00:11:01are saying their goodbyes.
00:11:04About to burst our little bubble, babe.
00:11:13Knowing that I'm going back to Melbourne
00:11:16and we'll be walking into an empty apartment tonight,
00:11:19it's just tough because Stephen's not going to be there,
00:11:21and, you know, we are 900 kilometres apart.
00:11:24That concerns me
00:11:27because long distance, it's a hard one.
00:11:30Think of it as the next chapter starting.
00:11:32I know.
00:11:35Oh, goodbye.
00:11:42This is it.
00:11:43I know.
00:11:46Oh, don't cry.
00:11:48I know.
00:11:56I'm really lucky to have been able to do this,
00:11:59and I'm really lucky to have met Stephen.
00:12:01Yeah.
00:12:04It's a couple of days.
00:12:06It's so sad that we're saying goodbye.
00:12:08We've built this little nest for ourselves,
00:12:10and we've got to dismantle it
00:12:12and move apart and make a massive decision.
00:12:15Long distance is one of our biggest challenges.
00:12:18Going into final vows, that's definitely considered.
00:12:21I'm going to have some serious thinking to do.
00:12:23Oh, you're shaking.
00:12:25Oh, I know.
00:12:27See you soon.
00:12:28See you soon.
00:12:30Take travels.
00:12:31Bye.
00:12:52With the upcoming final vows weighing heavily on their minds,
00:12:56Alyssa and David have headed home to contemplate their decision.
00:13:01They'll spend the week apart,
00:13:03reflecting on whether to continue their relationship outside the experiment
00:13:08or leave their marriages for good.
00:13:11Coming home to Brisbane solo,
00:13:13it feels like a part of me has been taken away.
00:13:16There is so much good,
00:13:18there's so much light that has come out of this relationship.
00:13:22But I've still got the last week of our relationship looming over me.
00:13:30That last week of the experiment,
00:13:32I wore my heart on my sleeve,
00:13:34and I felt like I kept getting pushed back and knocked back.
00:13:38This is one of the most uncertain places I've ever been in my life.
00:13:44I do love and care for this woman deeply.
00:13:47But at the same time, I have to decide whether I can forgive her.
00:13:56And in Adelaide, Alyssa is deliberating
00:13:59over whether to continue her relationship with David after the experiment.
00:14:04David has been so supportive.
00:14:06He's always had my back, and I love that about him.
00:14:10But the last couple of weeks has taken a turn for us.
00:14:14It's the fact that as soon as he felt like it got hard,
00:14:18he took his ring off.
00:14:20I have to be able to see past this
00:14:22to be able to move forward into the real world.
00:14:26And my gut's telling me now,
00:14:28like, the little things are actually big things for me,
00:14:31and they are deal breakers for me.
00:14:34David being upset with that final test date
00:14:37was a big red flag for me.
00:14:40Taking your ring off at the first sight of a...
00:14:42You know, seeing me having a good time
00:14:45socialising with other people...
00:14:47..it's toxic.
00:14:48And I was like, nah, in the bin.
00:14:54If that moment didn't happen,
00:14:57maybe our relationship would be in a way better place right now.
00:15:02Maybe I would be in love right now.
00:15:05There's been a world of emotions lately.
00:15:07And I know that he's willing to fight for me.
00:15:10He got down on one knee, for God's sake,
00:15:11like, put my ring back on my finger.
00:15:15He's wanting this to work.
00:15:19But I am feeling the pressure of...
00:15:21..pressure of that.
00:15:34The moment has come for Alyssa and David
00:15:37to declare their feelings at final vows.
00:15:52I came into this experiment hoping to find love.
00:15:55I found love.
00:15:56And I was hoping to leave here, you know,
00:15:58with a woman of my dreams
00:15:59and build a life and a family together in the future.
00:16:01So this decision today...
00:16:05..will be the start of the next stage.
00:16:12I love Alyssa.
00:16:13My feelings haven't changed for Alyssa.
00:16:17Coming into this decision,
00:16:18it's just finding that balance
00:16:19between my head and my heart.
00:16:21And I also don't know what's going to happen to me
00:16:24when I'm there, stood right in front of Alyssa.
00:16:28I don't know how I'm going to feel,
00:16:29so I'm a bit anxious.
00:16:32I've put everything into this relationship.
00:16:34I haven't held back.
00:16:36I did fall in love.
00:16:38When you love someone,
00:16:39you can't just switch off your feelings.
00:16:41That's the truth.
00:16:52David has made his intentions clear
00:16:55that he wants to make this work in the outside world
00:16:58and that he does love me
00:17:00and he doesn't want to lose me.
00:17:03So I feel like...
00:17:05..I feel like he will be committed to the cause
00:17:08and he'll want to see this through into the real world.
00:17:13But today's going to be tough for David.
00:17:21He missed the mark because he was a yes man.
00:17:29He told me he loved me.
00:17:31The ball is in my court today.
00:17:41And he breaks my heart
00:17:43knowing that I'm going to be breaking his heart
00:17:46at the end of this.
00:18:12Hello?
00:18:16Hello.
00:18:16How are you?
00:18:18I'm good, how are you?
00:18:20Beautiful.
00:18:24You're handsome.
00:18:26All right, see?
00:18:28I've convinced you.
00:18:32All right.
00:18:37Here we go.
00:18:43Alyssa, here we are.
00:18:46From the very beginning, our wedding day was something I'll never forget.
00:18:52The chemistry was instant.
00:18:54The banter, the laughs, the spark.
00:18:58It all felt effortless.
00:19:00And of course, how could I forget the moment when you looked me dead in the eye and said,
00:19:05I don't think I can marry you until you get down on one knee.
00:19:12What I saw wasn't just a bold woman making a big entrance.
00:19:16But someone who clearly wanted commitment, love, and something serious.
00:19:20The exact same things I came here for.
00:19:25You were strong, fiery, unapologetically yourself.
00:19:30And that energy instantly put my mind at ease.
00:19:35We never backed away from the challenges and our connection deepened.
00:19:39Getting intimate and building trust.
00:19:42And week by week, it felt like we were just getting stronger and stronger.
00:19:46You reminded me what it felt like to care again.
00:19:49You broke down walls I didn't even realize that I built.
00:19:52You made me laugh, challenged me, and you opened up my heart to love.
00:20:02From the very beginning, you told me that the moment a man tries to control you, you run.
00:20:08So I listened.
00:20:10I did everything you said you wanted.
00:20:13I gave you space.
00:20:14I let you lead when you needed to.
00:20:17And I never tried to change you.
00:20:20But it was the final commitment ceremony where everything changed.
00:20:25I finally spoke up.
00:20:26I told you how at times I'd held back in this relationship.
00:20:29Not because I didn't care.
00:20:31But because I was scared that being honest would push you further away.
00:20:36You accused me of blindsiding you.
00:20:38And in that moment, I realized something important.
00:20:41I wasn't being heard.
00:20:43You couldn't see that I wasn't attacking you.
00:20:46I was finally standing up for myself.
00:20:48It wasn't about proving a point.
00:20:51It was about finding my voice.
00:20:54Despite your frustrations, I still wanted to fight for us.
00:20:58I vowed to let my walls down.
00:21:01Be vulnerable.
00:21:02And express how I truly felt.
00:21:07I told you that I loved you.
00:21:11Something I'd wanted to say for a very long time.
00:21:15And although you couldn't say it back,
00:21:17I left feeling confident that there was still hope for us.
00:21:22Watching you back on the final test without alternate matches,
00:21:26you flirted, made inappropriate jokes,
00:21:29and spoke poorly about me behind my back.
00:21:32I felt betrayed and disrespected by what I saw.
00:21:37On our wedding day, you stated that you wanted to be challenged in this relationship.
00:21:41So that is what I did.
00:21:42I challenged you, I challenged you, and you shut me down.
00:21:45It felt as though you wouldn't take any accountability for how I had felt.
00:21:52We've had moments of laughter and deep affection, but we've also had moments where I felt shut down, controlled, and
00:22:01unheard.
00:22:03There have been times when I tried to express myself, but was met with criticism or correction, instead of curiosity.
00:22:11What I've come to understand is that with you, there was no version of me that could win.
00:22:18If I pushed harder, I would have been called controlling.
00:22:22If I held back, I was labeled disconnected.
00:22:26I've realized I can't be the man who constantly fights to be heard, or to constantly fight to prove his
00:22:32worth to someone who is still deciding if I'll be enough.
00:22:38Throughout all this, I've been patient, and I've done a lot of the listening, but I'm done listening.
00:22:50So today, I'm not walking away because I've stopped loving you, Alyssa.
00:22:59I'm walking away because loving you shouldn't mean losing myself.
00:23:25You're not going to listen to my vows?
00:23:33That's a name.
00:23:39Wow, I just wasted three months of my life and he won't even listen to me.
00:24:00David, wow, I can't believe we're here at the end
00:24:04of this experiment.
00:24:06Three months ago we were complete strangers standing at an altar saying I do.
00:24:12The choice to walk away from final vows today for me was all about choosing myself in this
00:24:18relationship and making my voice heard.
00:24:22So much of this relationship has been about Alyssa and me putting her first.
00:24:26I ordered to myself to make my voice heard because most of the relationship I was the
00:24:31one listening.
00:24:33I feel like I put all my cards on the table and all I was wanting from Alyssa was some
00:24:39accountability, some wanting to fight for this.
00:24:44Then came our homestays.
00:24:47That's when the real world came crashing in.
00:24:49The pressure of my home, my business, my cat, my life in Adelaide and how I can't just pack
00:24:55up and leave in three months like we initially discussed.
00:25:00You said you'd move, that we'd make it work.
00:25:02It sounded perfect, but something in my heart felt off.
00:25:09There's been so much pain that I've experienced the last two weeks.
00:25:14You know, you can't love someone and unfortunately, sometimes they're not ready to let you in.
00:25:22I feel tremendously heartbroken.
00:25:25She knew I wanted her and still it felt like I was fighting for a relationship that someone
00:25:32wasn't willing to fight for.
00:25:39David, you are everything I wanted and more.
00:25:42You are strong.
00:25:43You are kind.
00:25:44You are compassionate.
00:25:46You are a leader.
00:25:47But standing here today, I can only be honest.
00:25:50I love you, David, for who you are, but not for me.
00:26:05I love you, David, for who you are, but not for me.
00:26:34In Melbourne, Rachel has returned home where she will reflect on her relationship with
00:26:39Stephen ahead of the final vows.
00:26:42Being here at the end, it's great.
00:26:44It is a really nice feeling.
00:26:45I feel really united with Stephen and there's this really nice closeness, playful floatiness
00:26:51that we have in our relationship.
00:26:54I feel like we're both as goofy as each other.
00:26:56Oh my God, I might be good at this game.
00:27:01Yes, yes, better make sure that's done.
00:27:06We have grown so much together and we have both been vulnerable.
00:27:11I do like you and I have caught up in my feelings for you.
00:27:18I've never had a deeply emotional connected relationship before and I've got one, but Stephen
00:27:28can't leave Sydney because of his business.
00:27:31We have grown together through this experiment, but moving out of the bubble into the real world
00:27:38concerns me.
00:27:40What are you scared of the most?
00:27:43I'm scared that Stephen will go back to his life in Sydney and it's just going to be easier
00:27:50for him to let me go because he is time poor and he has his business.
00:27:55And so it might be a burden to try and maintain our relationship with me, so he might just let
00:28:04me go.
00:28:06So, yeah, that's my fear.
00:28:14I am concerned that we're going back to our lives, he might evaluate things and he might
00:28:22just see that as a, well, it's actually easier without you.
00:28:25And his decision could be, no, thank you.
00:28:31So, yeah, I am concerned.
00:28:42In Sydney, Stephen is looking back on his time in the experiment with Rachel.
00:28:51Despite sharing a strong emotional connection within the bubble of the experiment, Stephen
00:28:57is contemplating if that bond is strong enough to last the distance in the outside world.
00:29:04Rachel's patience and kindness and I've got to hand it to her.
00:29:09I feel like Rachel really saved the relationship.
00:29:14Reflecting on the relationship, I haven't always been the greatest husband.
00:29:21I don't remember getting a compliment from you on how I look today.
00:29:25You do look gorgeous and I'm really sorry that I didn't say it when it mattered.
00:29:29Do you think Stephen is affectionate enough?
00:29:36No.
00:29:41We've had our ups, we've had our downs.
00:29:44There's quite a large part of the relationship where I was sort of dragging the chain and my
00:29:50feelings started quite late for Rachel.
00:29:52I look back at intimacy week and how I sort of rejected Rachel and one of the tasks there.
00:30:01I can kiss you Rachel, but I'm not too sure if it's going to make you feel something.
00:30:07I need to feel that romantic connection and unfortunately I haven't felt that romantic connection as of yet.
00:30:21I've realised that I've just been a little bit lacking in the relationship wise.
00:30:26I've probably just got to be a little bit more proactive in my emotions.
00:30:33Being away from Rachel, I've realised that, yeah, I do have deep feelings for her.
00:30:40But at the same time, I guess my biggest fear is that I will not meet Rachel's expectations within our
00:30:48relationship in the real world.
00:30:51There's a lot more other challenges outside the experiment.
00:30:55Rachel's from Melbourne, I'm from Sydney.
00:30:57I've started a business here and fortunately for now I'm being a real pain in the arse and I'm saying
00:31:02to Rachel I can't move from Sydney.
00:31:05When Rachel mentioned that she's going to move to Sydney, I am worried that she might regret it later.
00:31:11But I can't see our future together, but it will not excuse the feelings of doubt that I've got, that
00:31:21we may not just make it because of these challenges that lie ahead of us.
00:31:32After nearly three months in the experiment, the time has come for Rachel and Stephen to decide whether to continue
00:31:42their relationship outside the experiment or part ways forever.
00:31:50I'm nervous because we've had a few hiccups along through the experiment and I haven't really been the greatest of
00:31:59husbands either.
00:32:07We've come so far and I've got someone I can be comfortable around and they like me for being me.
00:32:18I've missed Rachel.
00:32:19I'm excited to see her.
00:32:23But, you know, there is that thought in the back of my head going long distance, potential career changes.
00:32:30I've got these concerns that are polluting my head.
00:32:39It is a concern for me that we left on good terms, but during our time apart, Stephen's life has
00:32:46been.
00:32:46Pulled into focus again of, like, what he has left behind.
00:32:53It scares me that Stephen's going to brush it off and then he's going to go, you know what, this
00:32:57is just too hard.
00:33:02But at the same time, I've never had a guy make me feel as special as Stephen does.
00:33:11I've never had a guy make me feel as though I'm okay just being me.
00:33:17I am loud.
00:33:19I am a big personality.
00:33:22But Stephen's never asked me to be anything else.
00:33:27That's so rare to find in a partner.
00:33:30I'm hoping that I walk out of my final vows with Stephen hand in hand and we move forward and
00:33:37it all comes together for us.
00:33:47Still to come.
00:33:52Will Rachel get the commitment she's always wanted from Stephen?
00:33:57I won't lie.
00:33:59There have been moments in this experiment where I seriously questioned everything.
00:34:03An outpouring of emotion.
00:34:06You've made me believe in love against Stella.
00:34:09You've shown me what kindness, loyalty and genuine care look like.
00:34:15And Beck and Danny's final vows.
00:34:18But what will Danny decide?
00:34:24Beck.
00:34:25Beck.
00:34:25Beck.
00:34:29Beck.
00:34:32Beck.
00:34:33Beck.
00:34:34Beck.
00:34:42Beck.
00:34:42Beck.
00:34:45Beck.
00:35:07Oh
00:35:09My god, wow
00:35:29I feel like let's get into it. You ready? Oh
00:35:37All right, as ready as I'm ever gonna be you're not gonna lie. I'm a little bit nervous myself
00:35:41All right, okay
00:35:44Alrighty
00:35:48Okay, dear steven
00:35:51Showing up to this experiment. I had experienced hurt in the dating world
00:35:55Never been the chosen one and always left wondering why I wasn't enough. I came in knowing i'm not always
00:36:02easy
00:36:03i'm strong independent and sometimes emotional
00:36:08Which meant I also had some learning to do but I was willing to do the work
00:36:14I showed up with an open heart and a deep hope that I might find real love
00:36:18And have my very own rom-com ending with a new leading man. Our journey hasn't been smooth sailing
00:36:30During the honeymoon I questioned your humor some jokes made me feel bad about myself
00:36:35I started questioning my self-worth
00:36:37Ultimately, I started to question our match
00:36:41Affection was a big struggle intimacy week was one of the hardest moments in this experiment for us
00:36:52I bravely opened my heart in such a vulnerable way
00:36:56I felt exposed and rejected when you pulled away. It didn't kiss me
00:37:07Then at retreat when I was excited about our progress
00:37:10Everything came crashing down
00:37:13And because of that I became emotionally raw unraveling in front of you
00:37:25But despite that you stuck around you supported me
00:37:30You didn't try to fix it. You didn't walk away. You simply stayed with me
00:37:35In that moment my feelings for you deepened
00:37:40I usually keep those parts of me guarded covering the fears and hurt I carry to avoid being a burden
00:37:46to someone else
00:37:48Because I have always believed that I might be too much to love
00:37:53The final test without alternate matches made me anxious my insecurities of never being chosen began to resurface
00:38:05But you proved me wrong with your words and your loyalty
00:38:10It has been a slow burn
00:38:13But it's allowed something rare to grow between us a deep emotional connection
00:38:19One I've never had with a man before
00:38:22You've accepted me in ways I didn't know I needed
00:38:26From getting emotionally attached to our fish
00:38:29To singing the same line of a song on repeat
00:38:33You've never asked me to tone it down be less or shrink myself to fit beside you
00:38:40You've let me be me completely and that's all I've ever wanted
00:38:47I choose you stephen
00:38:50No hesitation no holding back
00:38:55I want to walk out of this experiment hand in hand with you
00:38:58Ready to keep building something messy something beautiful something real
00:39:04And entirely out
00:39:06I've never felt for anyone what I feel for you
00:39:10And even with all the fears that whisper in the background
00:39:14I want this
00:39:16I want you
00:39:17Stephen
00:39:33I've missed that laugh though
00:39:35It calms me down I love hearing it
00:39:43Here we go
00:39:46Rachel on our wedding day I turned around we locked eyes there was lots of laughter
00:39:54A lot of laughter
00:39:58But then the experiment kicked in and wow it's been one wild ride
00:40:04We had moments that felt like pure magic laughing until our cheeks hurt
00:40:09And discovering that we actually enjoy each other's weird messy chaotic cells
00:40:16Those days were full of curiosity and exploring what it meant to be open vulnerable and willing to give this
00:40:24a real chance
00:40:26But of course not everything was easy
00:40:32I won't lie
00:40:34There have been moments in this experiment where I seriously questioned everything
00:40:38There were times where I spent nights lying away thinking can I really do this
00:40:45Am I out of my debt
00:40:50When the experiment began I told myself I'd be open but the truth is old habits die hard
00:41:01I was holding back and afraid of not being enough
00:41:07But you challenged me
00:41:09I wasn't used to someone expecting more from me
00:41:12I remember the moment things shifted it was the way you looked at me when I finally let my guard
00:41:18drop
00:41:19The way you stood by me when I thought I didn't deserve it
00:41:22I stopped trying to protect myself from being hurt and holding back in fear of rejection
00:41:29You saw me
00:41:31You accepted me
00:41:33All of me
00:41:34Steve-o
00:41:36You've taught me that love isn't about perfection
00:41:40It's about being real
00:41:41Coming into this experiment
00:41:43I had convinced myself that I was unlovable
00:41:46Too stubborn, too guarded and too complicated
00:41:50I had hope
00:41:51But I also found it hard to imagine anyone ever loving someone like me
00:41:58Rachel, you really changed that for me
00:42:03You taught me that my heart wasn't broken
00:42:06It was just waiting for the right person to see it
00:42:09And that person is you, Rachel
00:42:14So today
00:42:15I'm standing here to tell you
00:42:18That I choose you
00:42:22I choose your smile, your laugh, your fire
00:42:29And I promise from this day forward to show up for you
00:42:32Take every risk with you and to never stop choosing you
00:42:39I am falling for you
00:42:43Rachel, I choose you
00:42:46And I'm diving in
00:42:47Head first
00:42:49Fearless
00:43:06Like a fairytale ending, isn't it?
00:43:09Like to hear Rachel say, I choose you
00:43:11It made me really happy
00:43:13Oh my gosh, oh my gosh
00:43:16I feel really good
00:43:18I'm like, I'm very, very happy
00:43:23Oh, you want to be my girlfriend?
00:43:24Yes, I want to be your girlfriend
00:43:26Oh, there we go
00:43:26Now it's official
00:43:30Oh my gosh, oh my gosh
00:43:32All right
00:43:33Well
00:43:35Wait to be from here, you two
00:43:38Probably more passion
00:43:46Rachel and Stephen are leaving the building
00:43:48Or bush
00:43:50Oh my gosh
00:43:51Yeah, we've worked hard in our relationship
00:43:53I feel like I've got massive, you know, personal development from the experiment
00:43:58And I'm walking out with, well, a girlfriend
00:44:04Go through
00:44:17There'll be more of that later
00:44:33With the experiment coming to an end
00:44:36One of this year's most tumultuous couples is packing up and leaving the apartment
00:44:42Bec and Danny will now individually head back home
00:44:46And weigh up whether they want to continue their marriage beyond the experiment
00:44:51No, don't leave
00:44:54No, no, you're not allowed to go
00:44:56Shut up
00:44:57Shut up
00:44:58You're not allowed to go
00:44:59Moving out today, it's bittersweet
00:45:02Bitter because I just want to be in my love bubble with my husband
00:45:06I don't like this
00:45:08Shut up, you'll be all right
00:45:11By far the best thing I've ever done
00:45:14It's so sad
00:45:15I don't like it
00:45:20It's our place, you know
00:45:22We've had some of the best memories in here
00:45:25Some of the worst ones too, but some of the best memories
00:45:29Babe
00:45:31Can you help me? I can't lift this off the bed
00:45:34No
00:45:36Over time
00:45:38Being with Danny, being married to him, living with him
00:45:40I've seen that he is just such a sensitive soul
00:45:44Bye, see you later
00:45:48Your face
00:45:50And that whilst we both were a bit out of our depth in this experiment at times
00:45:55the effort that he's put in and worked with me and us together on this relationship
00:46:01just shows that he's really serious about it
00:46:07F***ing hell
00:46:07What have you got in there, dead body?
00:46:11Probably the last couple of weeks has been really, really tough
00:46:13I'll be honest
00:46:15Nearing the end of the experiment
00:46:16And I feel like pretty drained
00:46:19But look, I wouldn't change it for the world
00:46:20It's been a once in a lifetime experience
00:46:23We've had some amazing times here
00:46:25We've had some horrendous times here
00:46:27We've gone through stress together
00:46:29Happy times, sad times, tears, everything together
00:46:33So it's been a roller coaster, so to speak
00:46:36But we're here, which is amazing, you know
00:46:40I'm really going to cherish the next few days to actually sit down
00:46:45Go for some long walks
00:46:46Drink some coffee and see what's the right move for me moving forward, you know
00:46:53I've got a business meeting to go to
00:46:56Some bird with a massive tits
00:46:58Well, Daniel
00:47:00It just reminds you of the journey
00:47:02Like, three months ago we were strangers
00:47:05And today we're like
00:47:07Like, love has come up and
00:47:10I am obsessed with him
00:47:12I love him
00:47:15I'll see you later
00:47:19We'll speak anyway
00:47:20All right
00:47:21See ya
00:47:29After a few days apart
00:47:32Bec and Danny are reflecting on their relationship
00:47:35Before they head to final vows
00:47:38I think Danny loves me
00:47:40I think he does
00:47:41I think that he is going to take this time away
00:47:47And realise that we make each other better people
00:47:52I think he does love me
00:47:53But I need to hear it from him
00:47:56And I think final vows is the place I need to hear it
00:47:59I want to be loved
00:48:01And I want to be adored
00:48:02And I deserve it
00:48:04While Bec is crystal clear in her decision
00:48:07In his hometown of Melbourne
00:48:09Danny is not entirely convinced
00:48:11Of the decision he'll be making
00:48:13About his future with Bec
00:48:14At the final vows ceremony
00:48:16I came here looking for the Bonnie to my Clyde
00:48:19And Bec has characteristics what I'm looking for
00:48:22Some of the best memories I've ever had in my life
00:48:25How do you feel about the words I wrote?
00:48:28I love what you wrote
00:48:29That's so cute
00:48:30But when me and Bec is very much like that
00:48:33It's very much up and down
00:48:35The hardest thing in the experiment's definitely been conflict
00:48:38One of the major doubts for me is when there's a problem
00:48:42Which isn't even a big problem
00:48:44It can escalate into a big problem
00:48:46Because I don't feel I can really talk to Bec
00:48:48Sometimes I'm met with
00:48:50With like aggression
00:48:52And sometimes she can sort of get her back up pretty easily
00:48:56Just take it on board and
00:48:58I'm taking it on board
00:48:59And take what I'm saying
00:49:01Thank you
00:49:03Don't say thank you
00:49:04It's not about saying thank you
00:49:05But take what I'm saying
00:49:08I seriously stop saying thank you
00:49:12Yeah, I'm done
00:49:15It's fine
00:49:18This is what I mean
00:49:20Yeah, good luck for me for the rest of my getting crucified
00:49:25Daniel come and sit next to me
00:49:32Daniel stand here and look united with me
00:49:36Don't tell me what to do
00:49:38Bec does like drama
00:49:39She's been involved in a lot of drama with the group
00:49:42You've given me the ick
00:49:43If you can't read the situation accurately
00:49:45And you misinterpret words
00:49:47Like that's not really on me
00:49:48That's on you
00:49:49Oh honey, you're the one that wrote them and read them
00:49:52It ain't me
00:49:53I'm reading them how you said them
00:49:55When we went to dinner party free
00:49:57And Bec went off at everyone
00:49:58I felt so uncomfortable
00:50:00I was embarrassed of her behaviour
00:50:02Just stare at me with your evil eyes
00:50:05Danny looks embarrassed
00:50:06Because neither of you have got any friends here anymore
00:50:12And then trying to talk to her about it
00:50:14I had to be very careful with the way I was worded in my words
00:50:18Seeing her behave that way, how did you feel?
00:50:22It's a tough question to answer
00:50:24He's scared of her
00:50:25I don't know
00:50:26Just answer honestly
00:50:27Were you proud?
00:50:28Were you embarrassed?
00:50:29Um
00:50:32You were what?
00:50:33Maybe slightly embarrassed, yeah
00:50:37We have been through hell and high water together
00:50:40We've had each other's backs
00:50:41There's been good points
00:50:43But there's also been some really, really bad times
00:50:46So I have to sit down as a man
00:50:49Assess if Bec's the right person for me
00:51:06I cannot believe that I've come into this experiment
00:51:10Fallen in love and
00:51:12I'm standing here at final vows
00:51:15Today could be absolutely life-changing for me
00:51:17It could literally be the beginning of the rest of my life
00:51:34Me and Bec get along so well, we care about each other
00:51:42Honestly, that I've given this experiment everything I've got
00:51:47But I do have to make the correct decision for my life and my future as well
00:52:18I am manifesting that it's going to be the best day ever
00:52:23And that I'm going to hear exactly what I hope to hear and
00:52:26We run off into the future together
00:52:30I love Danny
00:52:32Even though we argue that doesn't diminish the feelings that I have for him
00:52:37We have overcome so many hurdles together and
00:52:42I can't imagine my life without him now
00:52:44I aminate somebody
00:53:03And I can't imagine my life without him
00:53:14I'm completely 50 people
00:53:14guy body odor when they just smell disgusting yeah yeah yeah no not a vibe yours guys in cars
00:53:21that have the loud engine when they're like revving it you need that much attention on

00:53:33i do not care what you drive me okay you don't like the revs you don't like the don't care
00:53:37don't care another one for me is those no-show socks like those socks that just go around the
00:53:43toes and the heel yeah that is no way when me and my boyfriend started dating he had some in
00:53:49his drawer literally got them through the mouth i was like there's no way you're wearing that
00:53:52there's no way actually you know this is a funny one that you won't expect from me i'm an athlete
00:53:56but i don't like guys that do organized sport if they're in a footy team or whatever oh you don't
00:54:01like that because it basically just like takes up get a life you get a life mate y'all guys
00:54:08in cars
00:54:08this is yeah okay big egg when guys yell at you from their car yeah that's disgusting but
00:54:14because it takes us their whole weekend and it's like oh sorry i'm with the boys
00:54:19it's not only oh i'm going to put in your voice in that one now i've got drinks
00:54:30all right shall we let's do it oh my gosh daniel coming to this experiment when i first met you
00:54:40with the end of the aisle i'll be honest here we go i didn't feel an instant spark i remember
00:54:48thinking
00:54:49you weren't quite my type and maybe even that you're a bit of a boy
00:54:54but as the days went on i started to see something different someone kind someone grounded and quietly
00:55:01protective our honeymoon we had moments of laughter connection and excitement when we moved into our
00:55:09apartment i felt hopeful it started to feel like we were building something real but then you told me
00:55:15we had low sexual chemistry but we chose our relationship and instead of running away we
00:55:22worked on it and tried to reconnect one kiss every morning and one kiss every night
00:55:29in intimacy week the fantasy night changed everything for the first time i felt like
00:55:34we truly connected emotionally physically and spiritually it was a moment i realized this
00:55:38wasn't just an experiment anymore it was something real and something worth fighting for
00:55:43of course it hasn't all been smooth sailing we've had our arguments
00:55:48at the third dinner party i let my emotions get the better of me and i could see the disappointment
00:55:54in your eyes when you said that i embarrassed you i was crushed because your opinion of me actually
00:56:01matters so much you are without a doubt the funniest man i've ever met and i love that about you
00:56:09you light up every room and every day with you bring smiles and laughter
00:56:14love isn't just about the good moments it's about who you choose to stand beside when things get hard

00:56:58man i want to build a life
00:56:59with a man who has made me see a future for myself that i didn't see before the man who
00:57:04makes me laugh
00:57:04challenges me and reminds me that love can grow in the most unexpected places
00:57:09so today standing here i'm choosing you and i promise to choose you every day from here on out because
00:57:18simply put i love you
00:57:26oh thanks so much i was beautiful
00:57:39okay should i join me to go now
00:57:56beck
00:57:58first and foremost i want to start off by saying
00:58:01how much of an honor has been to do this crazy experiment with you
00:58:05i came on to this experiment looking for the bonnie to my client
00:58:11our wedding day was beautiful we instantly seemed to get on shared the same sense of humor it put my
00:58:18mind at ease then we went to our honeymoon to beautiful fiji it felt like the experts had found
00:58:25me someone who aligned with me in so many ways we could talk and laugh for hours
00:58:32it was also where we had our first stumbling block you accused me of looking at another woman
00:58:40i felt like you were seeking out a negative
00:58:44but i realized your insecurities were at play and realized how important it was to reassure you
00:58:50moving through the experiment we struggled aligning on intimacy it took me longer to find that spark
00:58:56but through that i was so proud of the way you and i dived headfirst into intimacy week
00:59:02and i have to say the night we painted each other's bodies was one of my favorite nights of the
00:59:06experiment it brought out an emotional side of me that i didn't even know was there
00:59:10and attraction grew i was so glad i stuck around and i thank you for that
00:59:18we spent the next few weeks really getting to know each other peeling back the layers
00:59:23laughing non-stop and feeling more and more comfortable around one another
00:59:27it started to feel like we were building something really special
00:59:32then at the third dinner party i saw a different side of you
00:59:36you were on the attack you were vulgar it seemed like you were seeking out drama i will admit
00:59:43i was embarrassed and uncomfortable i questioned everything and whether this was the relationship i
00:59:48wanted but still i chose to stand by your side i knew that we had so many good qualities worth
00:59:54fighting
00:59:55for i was so proud of the way that you worked on yourself after that dinner party you were kind
01:00:02you
01:00:03were honest and you made a real effort to make amends with everyone in the group that you had hurt
01:00:09from there we went from strength to strength we had each other's backs and everything felt right
01:00:13you told me you loved me when although i couldn't say it back in that moment it didn't scare me
01:00:18away
01:00:19it truly meant the world to me to hear how you were feeling in that moment
01:00:24going to adelaide and seeing you in your home with your with your beautiful dog coco showed me an even
01:00:29softer side of you i could see us living together in adelaide as a couple
01:00:35it felt like everything was falling into place and i felt excited for what our future could be
01:00:43then on the final night in adelaide i cracked the joke that landed wrong
01:00:49in hindsight perhaps i shouldn't have made that joke and for that i apologize again
01:00:53oh my babe but but you couldn't let it go rarely highlighted to me how our fight styles didn't
01:01:00align suddenly all of the good energy from adelaide disappeared and put major doubts into my head
01:01:06as to whether the move to adelaide would be smart because if these things were to happen outside the
01:01:10experiment it would make me feel more isolated than ever at the final task where where we met our
01:01:18alternative matches i approached it in a respectful manner however when i watched the video back of
01:01:24you you ridiculed me for the shirt i was wearing and said that i'm not intimate enough with you in
01:01:30a
01:01:30vulgar way to a group of males that were strangers you told me after the task that geostate basically
01:01:38forced you to take his number but watching the video back i saw that was a complete lie
01:01:45when i tried to bring this up with you in a calm and respectful manner i was met with conflict
01:01:50in
01:01:50you storming out it was a stark reminder that our fight styles don't match in important discussions
01:01:58i've always said that i want to start thinking about having kids soon and when i think of bringing
01:02:02kids into the world i want to bring kids into a stable relationship and a stable loving home
01:02:07the same as i had when i was a child stepping away from the experiment in the last week i
01:02:14rarely
01:02:15thought about how i felt having space on my own again and as much as it breaks my heart to
01:02:21say this
01:02:22i felt a weight come off my shoulders particularly at a time where i knew i should have been missing
01:02:27you
01:02:31i believe you can have multiple soul mates in life some who are your best friends and some who are
01:02:36your
01:02:36lovers beck i believe you're my soul mate as a friend but i've come to realize there's doubt in
01:02:41my mind that if you are my soul mate as a lover
01:02:50it's not only oh i'm going to put you with voices like oh now i've got drinks for the boys
01:02:53okay whatever with the boys i'm not sure where i fit in that okay okay it's making sense it's not
01:02:58the
01:02:58organized sport it's that do you even have time to see me everything's for the boys i'm like i think
01:03:03you might want to date the boys yeah actually yeah another ick is like the guy for sure needs to
01:03:09be
01:03:09over six foot so you're not a short king no i don't like a short king i'm obviously incredibly
01:03:13short but yeah i too like a tall guy what's your cut off do you have a cut off i'm
01:03:18sorry if you're
01:03:19close to my heart but i don't i mean being close to your heart would be pretty hard but like
01:03:23guys from
01:03:23my heart i'm just like i don't want to look at you in the eye you know what i mean
01:03:26like i want to be
01:03:27looking up yeah that's why yeah yeah i've always said that i want to start thinking about having
01:03:42kids soon and when i think of bringing kids into the world i want to bring kids into a stable
01:03:47relationship and a stable loving home the same as i had when i was a child stepping away from the
01:03:54experiment in the last week i rarely thought about how i felt having space on my own again
01:04:01and as much as it breaks my heart to say this i felt a weight come off my shoulders
01:04:05particularly at a time where i knew i should have been missing you
01:04:11i believe you can have multiple soulmates in life some who are your best friends and some who are
01:04:16your lovers beck i believe you're my soulmate as a friend but i've come to realize there's doubt in
01:04:22my mind that if you were my soulmate as a lover honestly from the bottom of my heart i'm so
01:04:28sorry
01:04:28to do this to you but i can't be your husband anymore i know this might be hard to hear
01:04:33but i think we

01:08:01Oh, my God.
01:08:01Oh, my God.
01:08:04Oh, my God.
01:08:09Oh, my God.
01:08:27Still to come, the most romantic moment of this year's experiment.
01:08:33Stella, I love you more than I ever thought possible.
01:08:47Stella and Philip have proven to be this year's strongest couple.
01:08:52I can't believe we're at the end here, like, just...
01:08:54Yeah.
01:08:55And the final day of the experiment is stirring up emotions for the pair.
01:09:02Everything that we've been through, every kind of awkward moment, I'm glad to have done
01:09:08it with you, no-one else.
01:09:11It's crazy, like, I actually do not want to spend a day without him.
01:09:16He truly became a part of me.
01:09:21We fell in love.
01:09:22We built a beautiful relationship.
01:09:23Leaving the apartments is, like, stepping into the new chapter.
01:09:30Stella and I have been joined at the hip these last 12 weeks, so it feels a little bit surreal
01:09:35to be moving out of this home.
01:09:37It's been the place where Stella and I have been able to work on our relationship.
01:09:41A lot of good things have come out of this.
01:09:42We've got some really fond memories.
01:09:44Yeah, it was...
01:09:45It was amazing.
01:09:47Oh, being alone is so nice.
01:09:50Before they part ways, the experts have one last surprise for Stella and Philip.
01:09:57OK.
01:09:58I'm going to hold the chat.
01:09:59A look back at where it all began with their wedding video.
01:10:03Oh, stop it.
01:10:04I'm going to cry.
01:10:05Are you ready?
01:10:06No.
01:10:08OK.
01:10:10Hmm.
01:10:14Hmm.
01:10:15Hmm.
01:10:16Hmm.
01:10:17Hmm.
01:10:24What's going on?
01:10:25Hi.
01:10:27Hi.
01:10:27Hi.
01:10:27I'm Phil.
01:10:28Hi, Phil.
01:10:29Hi, Phil.
01:10:29What's your name?
01:10:30Stella.
01:10:31Stella.
01:10:31Nice to meet you.
01:10:32Nice to meet you.
01:10:33Hi.
01:10:38You got this.
01:10:39You got this.
01:10:40Oh, it get me so emotional.
01:10:41You got that.
01:10:41Hey, you got this.
01:10:42Such a cry, baby.
01:10:43It's ridiculous.
01:10:44You're right.
01:10:45You're good.
01:10:45It's all good.
01:10:46I'm here.
01:10:47All good.
01:10:49Hi.
01:10:50I'm Aister.
01:10:51But please call me Stella.
01:10:52In my language, we say,
01:10:57which translates,
01:10:58to you hold the wheel and I'll bring peace to our journey.
01:11:01To me, that's real love.
01:11:02Balance.
01:11:04Safety.
01:11:04Freedom.
01:11:05And fire.
01:11:06Today, I don't just marry a stranger.
01:11:08I marry a possibility.
01:11:09A possibility of something real.
01:11:11One last thing.
01:11:12I cry.
01:11:13A lot.
01:11:18No shit.
01:11:19No shit, man.
01:11:22To understand me fully, it's worth understanding my family.
01:11:25I actually came to Australia from a small country in Europe called Croatia,
01:11:28at eight months of age.
01:11:30It's something that I admire about my parents.
01:11:33To leave their hometown, their family, their friends,
01:11:36starting over to give us kids a better life.
01:11:39Their 40-year commitment of teamwork, love and patience,
01:11:43have shown me that hard work does pay off.
01:11:47Just know that you can relax and unapologetically be yourself with me
01:11:51and lean into those things that light you up,
01:11:53because I promise I will.
01:11:55And let's hear your biggest cheers as I present to you for the very first time
01:11:58as newlyweds.
01:11:59Stella and Phyllida!
01:12:17Yay!
01:12:21It felt very surreal watching back at the wedding,
01:12:25and meeting Phyllida for the first time.
01:12:28Seeing the sparks in both of our eyes and hearing the vows.
01:12:33It was a very beautiful, special moment.
01:12:35A special, special day.
01:12:38It was amazing watching the wedding video.
01:12:42It just made me realise how far Stella and I have come,
01:12:45how special that day really was.
01:12:48It just brought back a lot of good memories,
01:12:50because that was the start of something really, really special for Stella and I.
01:12:54So, say hi to your mum and dad.
01:12:56Will do.
01:12:57Give hugs, give a letter.
01:12:58Will do.
01:12:58And I'll see you soon.
01:12:59See ya.
01:13:00I feel great going to the final vows.
01:13:03Love you.
01:13:04Love you.
01:13:04I do see us being old and holding the hands and walking together.
01:13:10Like, this is my person.
01:13:18I'm gonna cry again.
01:13:24No.
01:13:28Oh.
01:13:34Before revealing his decision at final vows,
01:13:39Philip returns home to Melbourne.
01:13:42I came into this experiment looking for love.
01:13:45I definitely found what I've come here for.
01:13:48I always thought that vulnerability was a weakness,
01:13:50but every single time I've opened up,
01:13:52whether it be in front of Stella or the experts,
01:13:55I've always been rewarded with, like, a stronger bond with Stella.
01:13:59I asked the question of, like,
01:14:00alright, if we go outside of the experiment,
01:14:02how quick would you expect, like, a proposal or something like that,
01:14:05just to, like, fully escalate things?
01:14:06And Stella was just, like, ASAP.
01:14:09So, it's just kind of like...
01:14:10I say the sooner the better.
01:14:11The sooner the better.
01:14:12Wow.
01:14:12This is the start of something pretty special.
01:14:15I can't believe I'm walking out with the love of my life.
01:14:18In Sydney, Stella is counting down the minutes
01:14:21until the final vows ceremony
01:14:24as she looks back on her magical journey with Philip.
01:14:28I asked the experts to be the love story,
01:14:31and I got it.
01:14:34My wish got granted.
01:14:35Quite early on, I realised that I am forming strong feelings for Philip.
01:14:41And I think the time and the guidance that we got from the experts,
01:14:45we started to feel that pure, unconditional love.
01:14:49Philip, I want you to turn to Stella and tell her how you feel.
01:14:53You're going to make me cry.
01:14:56You 100% know that I am in love with you?
01:15:00I know, baby.
01:15:00And that you shouldn't doubt anything?
01:15:02No.
01:15:02The decision process for the final vows is non-existent for me.
01:15:06I have very clear writing on the wall.
01:15:08He's my man.
01:15:09That's it.
01:15:29Of all the decisions that I had to make in my life, this seems seamless.
01:15:34It doesn't cause me any stress, any anxiety.
01:15:37I know what we have is extremely beautiful, rare, real.
01:15:43It's magical.
01:15:46I thought that I was never going to experience a love like this.
01:15:50I am 100% in love with Stella.
01:15:54And I want to be with her for the rest of my life.
01:15:57I look at him and I see us growing all together.
01:16:00When I look at her, I'm like, you could be the mother of my children.
01:16:10We came as singles and we're coming out as a beautiful couple.
01:16:16I'm very, very hopeful for the future.
01:16:20Walking out of here today, I could be in a position that I never thought I would be in.
01:16:25It's going to change the course of my life, definitely.
01:16:45You look amazing.
01:16:49Hi.
01:16:49How are you doing, baby?
01:16:55You look great.
01:17:00Ready?
01:17:03Let's go.
01:17:10You're good, you're good, you're good.
01:17:15Let's go.
01:17:16My dearest Philip, when I stood before you on our wedding day,
01:17:22there was an instant spark, a pull, a sense of home that I couldn't and I didn't want to resist.
01:17:28Our chemistry wasn't deniable.
01:17:30And from the moment I saw you, effortlessly, it grew into something deeper.
01:17:35We became inseparable, not because we had to, but because it felt impossible to be apart.
01:17:41Through every challenge, every tear and every argument, we kept choosing each other.
01:17:48We had to look at one another and say, I'm human.
01:17:52I'm flawed.
01:17:59But will you accept me as I am?
01:18:05And you did, every time.
01:18:09You gave me safety and vulnerability and showing me what true partnership looks like.
01:18:14One, build on respect, trust, care and the deepest emotional intimacy.
01:18:21You have this rare ability to make me feel both held and free.
01:18:27To be truly myself, whilst constantly inspiring me to grow.
01:18:33Now, standing here at the end of this incredible experiment, I can say with absolute certainty that we're soulmates.
01:18:42I feel it in every heartbeat, in every look, in every moment I get to share with you.
01:18:48As we step into our next chapter, I promise to keep choosing you every day.
01:18:53To meet your strength with softness, your ambition with encouragement.
01:18:57And to keep laughing with you, learning from you and loving you in all your forms.
01:19:02You are my partner, my safe space, my adventure and my greatest gift.
01:19:06I came here to look for love and what I found was far more profound.
01:19:10I found home in you.
01:19:12And I cannot wait to build the rest of our life there, with you.
01:19:16I love you.
01:19:19I love you too.
01:19:22That was beautiful.
01:19:27Stella, what a journey these last three months have been.
01:19:32I never expected to fall in love.
01:19:35I'd watch friends around me find it and thought maybe it was only reserved for other people.
01:19:41But the moment I turned around on our wedding day and saw those piercing blue eyes, that smile and your
01:19:47tiny shaking hands, I knew my life was about to change.
01:19:51Your vows showed me your warmth, kindness and heart from that moment.
01:19:56I felt a connection that's only grown stronger with every day that's passed since.
01:20:01On the honeymoon, learning about each other, sharing values and realising how naturally we fit, it all confirmed that what
01:20:09we had was real.
01:20:10But it hasn't been all smooth sailing.
01:20:14I told you I loved you.
01:20:16I'll never forget that simple, perfect moment.
01:20:19I hadn't said I loved you in years, and I meant it with absolute certainty.
01:20:24When you pulled back, I struggled, wondering if maybe I wasn't, wasn't enough.
01:20:30I felt helpless, unsure of what more I could do to convince you that this was real.
01:20:35But when you said you were in love with me too, I realised I was actually worthy of someone's love.
01:20:41And more importantly, it was coming from a person I was in love with myself.
01:20:48Through every struggle we ever encountered, we have communicated, we have listened and we have worked together.
01:20:54Ultimately, every struggle saw us come out stronger than ever.
01:20:58I have never wanted to move somewhere for someone, but now I realise home is simply wherever you are.
01:21:07You've made me believe in love against Stella.
01:21:09You've shown me what kindness, loyalty and genuine care look like.
01:21:13With you, I feel seen, accepted and inspired to be better every single day.
01:21:20Being with you is like nothing I've ever felt before.
01:21:23I see our future so vividly, a family, a home and a beautiful life together.
01:21:30You have empathy for everyone you meet.
01:21:32You're loving and accepting.
01:21:35Every day you bring out the best version of me and it reminds me of what love truly is.
01:21:50Stella, I love you more than I ever thought possible.
01:21:58And have never felt more certain of anything.
01:22:02I know what my heart wants.
01:22:09Something just for us.
01:22:12Something that is truly ours.
01:22:20There are you.
01:22:28Stella.
01:22:36Stella.
01:22:38I love you more than I ever thought possible.
01:22:46And have never felt more certain of anything.
01:22:49I know what my heart wants.
01:22:56Something just for us.
01:22:59Something that is truly ours.
01:23:09There are you.
01:23:13Stella.
01:23:14What?
01:23:18Will you marry me?
01:23:26Will you marry me?
01:23:45Yes.
01:23:51Oh my God.
01:23:53Oh my God.
01:23:56Oh my God.
01:23:56Come here.
01:24:07Let's do this.
01:24:08Let's do it.
01:24:09Let's do this.
01:24:20Are you shaking?
01:24:21Yeah.
01:24:36I love you too.
01:24:40You're the best.
01:24:43You're the best honestly.
01:24:44Oh.
01:24:45I can't believe this.
01:24:48I feel like I have an out-of-board experience.
01:24:51Oh.
01:24:52God.
01:24:54No.
01:25:06It all makes sense why it didn't work out in the past.
01:25:10I waited for this person for 32 years of my life.
01:25:14Did you think that I would?
01:25:17I did.
01:25:17I knew I will marry you.
01:25:19Yeah.
01:25:19I knew this is it for me.
01:25:21But I didn't think that you will do it here, right here, right now.
01:25:26No.
01:25:26But I knew you are my person.
01:25:28No.
01:25:28From very early on I knew.
01:25:30Yeah.
01:25:31Likewise.
01:25:32Some would say that in three days I knew.
01:25:36I do love you.
01:25:37I love you too.
01:25:37It's like it's ridiculous.
01:25:39I knew I knew my soul was waiting for you for 32 years.
01:25:42Mm-hmm.
01:25:43Yeah.
01:25:45It's hard to put words to the mind at the moment.
01:25:49Yeah.
01:25:49And I think I need to kind of just.
01:25:53I told you I'm a person.
01:25:55I'm a soul mate.
01:25:58I can't wait for this.
01:26:00I can't wait.
01:26:01It's just the beginning.
01:26:05Three, three months ago I was single, pringle, doing the most unhinged thing in my life
01:26:11that I never thought I would go on.
01:26:13Absolutely.
01:26:13Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:26:14I can't believe it.
01:26:14On TV and try to find a husband because I couldn't.
01:26:19Like as soon, yeah.
01:26:20As soon as I jumped into this like I didn't know that this would be the avenue.
01:26:24Like I knew, I knew in the crazy way that this would actually work but I just didn't
01:26:27know that I would be gifted this person.
01:26:32Are we doing it?
01:26:33No.
01:26:38Let's go.
01:26:49For my kids and my family.
01:26:50Yeah, absolutely.
01:26:51Like kids and family.
01:26:52Like I want to be a dad more than ever.
01:26:54Like I've got all the dad jokes queued up.
01:26:55They're ready to go.
01:27:04Yay.
01:27:10Sunday night.
01:27:13The participants return.
01:27:17For the traditional reunion dinner party.
01:27:24Legitimately, yeah, I got down on one knee.
01:27:28True love.
01:27:29True love.
01:27:32And Beck is demanding answers.
01:27:36Who do you think you are?
01:27:39Who do you think you are?
01:27:41All right, we did.
01:27:42Who do you think you are?
01:27:44The season abuser.
01:27:46Yeah it looks.
01:27:47What do you think you are?
01:27:48From what Noap.
01:27:51To the actions.
