00:00:01Do you see me as the mother-father of your children? Yes, I do see you as a
00:00:04father of my children. After seven weeks of marriage, Feedback Week brought some
00:00:10couples closer together. Only the best for my wife. Thank you for setting tasks that
00:00:16really understand Stephen and I and what we needed. But for others... Sure, I'll take
00:00:22that on board. Even now, I feel like you're getting defensive. I'm not getting defensive
00:00:25having a conversation. Tensions were at an all-time high. I'm not doing it. No
00:00:31thanks. It was just... As Scott avoided any critical feedback, opting to keep the
00:00:40peace in his marriage. I knew if I went too deep, I'd be over the balcony. You're
00:00:47absolutely pissing me off. Danny struggled to give Beck a straight answer. Do you
00:00:52think you will fall in love with me and why? At the dinner party, after weeks of
00:00:59being caught in the crossfire, Alyssa tried to put a full stop to the feud
00:01:05between Gia and Beck. Stop using me! Stop using me as a pawn. And Beck and Danny
00:01:12spiralled. I want you to be wary about what you text people. Two months ago, Daniel.
00:01:17Okay, that was ten years ago. I want out now. I'm wasting my time at a dinner party talking
00:01:23about abusive text messages. I'm here for a wife and a relationship. I'm not here for
00:01:27drama. Do not sit there in front of everyone and not show solidarity to me. Just pretend
00:01:32for two minutes. Tonight, it's the second last commitment ceremony. You ask the question
00:01:41of like, alright, if we go outside the experiment, how quick would you expect, like, a proposal?
00:01:46I say the sooner the better. Wow. And some are already locking in plans for married life
00:01:52outside of the experiment. The man is leaving and he is actually starting to show me what
00:01:57my life here in Sydney could look like. And then... So last week you said that the noise from
00:02:03the group and around Gia doesn't affect your relationship. Do you still believe that?
00:02:10Will Scott speak up and confess how he feels in front of Gia? I will admit, like...
00:02:20The question, what was it? Like, it was a bit... Could you see yourself falling in love with me?
00:02:24Why is Danny dodging the question?
00:02:29Um...
00:02:30Cool.
00:02:34In one of the most confronting couch sessions ever seen.
00:02:38It's a pretty black and white question.
00:02:44Before the blind side...
00:02:49That will leave the room speechless.
00:02:52I just can't believe it.
00:03:08It's the morning of the second-last commitment ceremony of the experiment.
00:03:13And despite a tense ending to last night's dinner party,
00:03:17one couple continued to shine bright.
00:03:22Good morning.
00:03:24Good morning.
00:03:26Good morning.
00:03:27Good morning.
00:03:27Hopefully you don't burn the roof of your mouth.
00:03:29No, she'll be fine.
00:03:30You know?
00:03:31Last night for Stella and I, yeah, it was great.
00:03:34We were just sitting there, united, chilling out, smooching whilst the drama's happening.
00:03:39We tend to do that when people are kicking off, we're just kissing each other.
00:03:43And then, yeah, we're staying out of it for the most part.
00:03:45I think we are out of the trenches with the drama.
00:03:49I doubt it, but I'm very, very hopeful.
00:03:52I'm very hopeful.
00:03:52Some people cannot help themselves.
00:03:54I see the blokes like Danny and Scott, and they're just ready to not talk about high school shit.
00:04:02Like, Scott is not his usual self.
00:04:05He was just...
00:04:06His light was dimmed.
00:04:08He was just not there.
00:04:09He's dimmed.
00:04:09Yeah, he's dimmed at the moment.
00:04:11He's just not there.
00:04:12Danny as well, definitely.
00:04:13Yeah.
00:04:14I always look at him and he's just so withdrawn and just...
00:04:16They dissociate.
00:04:17They just dissociate and they just go to another realm.
00:04:20They just leave the place.
00:04:21They're just like this.
00:04:22Yeah.
00:04:25I just wish that people like Becca and Gia can stop saying sorry and just don't do it from now
00:04:32on.
00:04:33Don't be sorry and go, I take accountability and just don't do it.
00:04:37How about we try that and then we don't have to keep talking about this BS.
00:04:46While our couples are putting on the final touches for tonight's commitment ceremony,
00:04:52one participant who is not looking forward to seeing the experts is Gia.
00:04:57Last one, I walked out.
00:05:00I don't like commitment ceremonies one bit because I hate being vulnerable and talking
00:05:04about my feelings and commitment ceremonies don't go great for me all the time.
00:05:09Last week, I feel like I was getting in so much trouble for the screenshots.
00:05:12They didn't at all question back.
00:05:15It was just me for sending them.
00:05:16I just felt like I was just attacked and it was unfair last week.
00:05:19It's not fair that I'm always taking the heat for that sort of stuff.
00:05:23I admit I was wrong for sending them,
00:05:25but I'm not the one who said the vulgar things in those screenshots back was.
00:05:29I think it's just going to be more of a rehash of like what you're saying.
00:05:32Feedback week.
00:05:33Feedback week.
00:05:33Also, why'd you walk out?
00:05:34Which it'll just be a discussion of that.
00:05:37Yeah.
00:05:38I adore and I really am falling for Gia, but like this whole experiment has been very
00:05:45tough in regards to the drama side of things.
00:05:47There was so many days where there was just so much heat and heaviness.
00:05:52Tonight, like I'm nervous seeing the experts because this is something that I find a problem
00:05:57and I'm going to address it.
00:05:59I'm not looking forward to how she's going to feel about it, but I can only be honest.
00:06:09One couple that everyone will have their eyes on tonight is Beck and Danny,
00:06:13who had a tense argument at the end of last night's dinner party.
00:06:18Don't sit here and say, I want us to have a good relationship,
00:06:23but we don't because of drama at dinner parties.
00:06:26I just want you to be wary about what you say.
00:06:30I'm very wary.
00:06:31I want you to be wary about what you text people.
00:06:35I'm done.
00:06:36I'm not going back in.
00:06:37I'm done.
00:06:38He says, oh, we're ride or die.
00:06:40We're ride or die.
00:06:41We're not.
00:06:42Just pretend for two minutes.
00:06:44And this morning, there has been yet another unexpected development in their relationship.
00:06:51How are things with you and Danny after last night's dinner party?
00:06:55Really good.
00:06:58There's so much love and adoration within this relationship.
00:07:03We had like a tiny little bit of crosswords last night.
00:07:06Danny sort of had a little wibble wobble.
00:07:08He was like, I'm sure of the drama.
00:07:10And at the end of the day, we've actually come out on top, you know, even though it's kind
00:07:14of crappy for a little while, we always come back together, talk about it and end up with
00:07:23a better understanding of each other and in a stronger place in our relationship.
00:07:27Do you agree?
00:07:28Hmm.
00:07:29I became a girlfriend as well.
00:07:31Still happy with that decision, boo?
00:07:33Still happy with the decision.
00:07:35I feel great.
00:07:35I feel absolutely fantastic.
00:07:37Like, I'm not only a wife, I'm a girlfriend.
00:07:39And I know that everything's hunky dory.
00:07:42Me telling you at the commitment ceremony that I love you.
00:07:46And obviously, I'm in my own head as well, because it's like, shit, like, that's a lot for me
00:07:52to do.
00:07:53Ever.
00:07:54Like, you're the first man I've ever told that I love first.
00:07:57Ever.
00:07:58Feedback week, Danny.
00:07:59How's it been?
00:08:01Been an alright week, to be honest.
00:08:03Like, alright is how I'd describe it.
00:08:04Not amazing.
00:08:06Just alright.
00:08:07Obviously, the question to ask, Bec was just overreacting a little bit there.
00:08:12We know that.
00:08:13That's a fact.
00:08:14Do you think you will fall in love with me?
00:08:17And why?
00:08:18Probably.
00:08:20I'd assume I will, yeah.
00:08:22Am I there yet?
00:08:23No.
00:08:27So, it has sort of scared me that she's got stronger feelings to me than I have to her.
00:08:34Um, up until last week, when she told me she loved me, I didn't realise she was feeling
00:08:37that strongly towards me.
00:08:39She'd never even told me, like, little soft things to, like, soften it.
00:08:43It was just like, that come out of nowhere.
00:08:46That's why when she told me on the sofa, on the couch, I was a bit, like, shocked.
00:08:50My feelings are extremely, extremely strong for Daniel.
00:09:01I love you.
00:09:02Yay!
00:09:06Yay!
00:09:09Woo!
00:09:09Woo!
00:09:12Do you think that you will get there, or are you still not sure?
00:09:15It's hard to tell, to be honest.
00:09:17It's very hard to tell.
00:09:19In regards to intimacy, it's not like I don't want to do it, but it's not like I'm, like,
00:09:27craving to do it as well.
00:09:29Like, I'm United, I mean.
00:09:31Because of constant drama with Beck.
00:09:34Um, so, yeah, that's probably one of the things, the main reason that's holding me back.
00:09:37...
00:09:54...
00:09:55...
00:09:55...
00:09:59Greetings, gents.
00:10:01Hello, come on in.
00:10:03Good to see you all.
00:10:04Good evening.
00:10:05Good evening.
00:10:06Hey, guys.
00:10:21Hi.
00:10:21Hello, welcome.
00:10:25Settling.
00:10:30Well, greetings, everyone, to the second-last commitment ceremony.
00:10:35We are very much nearing the pointy end where you have to size up your relationship
00:10:42and really drill down on whether or not you can see a future outside of this experiment
00:10:49with the person that you've been matched with.
00:10:52Now it gets real.
00:10:55Now in saying that, next week, it is homestays.
00:11:00This is done so that all of you can have a look at your partner's life as it exists outside
00:11:06of the experiment.
00:11:08And it gives you an understanding, a glimpse of whether you can fit into it.
00:11:13This is really a reality check.
00:11:17In fact, it is absolutely pivotal for you when it comes to your final decision.
00:11:25Take it very seriously.
00:11:27Now the past week, of course, has been feedback week.
00:11:30It's been a real test of how each and every one of you responds to feedback, but also how each
00:11:37of you gives feedback, so we'll be really interested to drill down into how that's gone for each of you
00:11:43and to see what's been the impact on your relationships.
00:11:47And of course, we saw some of that last night at the dinner party.
00:11:51It was actually quite shocking to see some of the behaviours that occurred at last night's dinner party.
00:11:58And we certainly want to get into all of that.
00:12:03Well, let's get our first couple up, Jira and Scott.
00:12:09Mmm, good to see you both.
00:12:12Yes, John, I'm still here.
00:12:13Are you happy about it?
00:12:15I'm very happy.
00:12:16Oh, I thought you wouldn't be.
00:12:18Yeah, particularly because last time you actually walked off.
00:12:22I did.
00:12:25So, let's go back to what actually happened there, because we didn't get a chance to talk to you about
00:12:32that.
00:12:33Because we were talking about your relationship and where you're at and what a good place you're in,
00:12:38and it was positive, but then something happened.
00:12:42What was it?
00:12:47I was getting in trouble for the screenshots involving Alyssa,
00:12:51but the other person wasn't getting in trouble for what was written in the screenshots.
00:12:55It felt very against me.
00:12:59And I just felt like attacked.
00:13:05And I just felt like it was a bit unfair, to be honest.
00:13:09I just felt like, oh, what about the screen?
00:13:11What was she was saying?
00:13:12Like, just me, me, me.
00:13:13I just cannot.
00:13:16So, I had to remove myself.
00:13:17I didn't want to have another argument.
00:13:19I didn't want any more volatile situations.
00:13:22I just, I had to remove myself.
00:13:26All right, so let's break it down.
00:13:28There are two parts to this.
00:13:31One part is what was said in the text,
00:13:36which came out at the dinner party last night, the specifics of it.
00:13:42And there's no getting around that.
00:13:45It's abhorrent.
00:13:47Those words, those phrases,
00:13:52towards another member in this experiment,
00:13:56was appalling.
00:13:59I mean, Beck, the hits keep coming.
00:14:16What was said in the text,
00:14:19which came out at the dinner party last night,
00:14:22the specifics of it.
00:14:26And there's no getting around that.
00:14:28It's abhorrent.
00:14:30Those words, those phrases,
00:14:35towards another member in this experiment,
00:14:39was appalling.
00:14:42I mean, Beck,
00:14:44the hits keep coming.
00:14:51Regardless of what bad place you were in,
00:14:53the way in which you did that
00:14:56was malicious
00:14:57and extremely hurtful.
00:15:00And we don't condone it.
00:15:06That's the first part.
00:15:08The second issue
00:15:11is how they were used.
00:15:13And that's where you come into this, Gia.
00:15:15Yep.
00:15:17It was very high school,
00:15:21trying to really get at somebody
00:15:24while hurting another person in the process.
00:15:30It's about choices.
00:15:32It's about choices
00:15:33in terms of what you write in the text.
00:15:36Then it's choices about
00:15:37what you want to do with that
00:15:39in terms of sending it on or not.
00:15:42I know I was wrong.
00:15:45Looking back now,
00:15:46I wish I never sent the screenshots to Juliet.
00:15:48I was doing the wrong thing.
00:15:50I mean, it was like
00:15:51something happened to me
00:15:54that affected me
00:15:55and to defend myself,
00:15:56I was like,
00:15:56or let me send some screenshots
00:15:58to do something to that person.
00:16:00And it was just like
00:16:01childish behaviour, to be honest.
00:16:02So it was an eye for an eye.
00:16:03Yeah.
00:16:04Yeah.
00:16:05OK, we do not want to revisit this
00:16:08ever again.
00:16:10And I'm sure Alyssa
00:16:11doesn't want to either.
00:16:13It is being put to bed
00:16:15as of right now.
00:16:20But, Gia,
00:16:21one of the things I wanted to ask you was
00:16:23when you left last week,
00:16:25Scott was sitting here
00:16:27kind of not really knowing
00:16:29what was going on.
00:16:30And I just wondered
00:16:32whether he was featured
00:16:34in your thinking in that moment.
00:16:37I told him before I ran out,
00:16:39I said,
00:16:40I feel sick,
00:16:40I'm going to leave.
00:16:41Scott, how did you feel
00:16:45when you realised Gia had left?
00:16:50Well, at the time,
00:16:51I was sitting there
00:16:51and going to myself,
00:16:53she's not left me.
00:16:54I just,
00:16:55because I know how close we are.
00:16:56So I'm like,
00:16:56there's no excuse for her
00:16:56to just bail.
00:16:57But then obviously,
00:16:59the only thing I was just
00:17:00a little bit annoyed
00:17:01was just not being told
00:17:01what was going on.
00:17:04Just communication,
00:17:04that's all.
00:17:08But deep down,
00:17:09I knew she didn't run away
00:17:10from me.
00:17:10So,
00:17:12yeah.
00:17:14So last week,
00:17:15you said that the noise
00:17:17around your relationship
00:17:18from the group
00:17:19and around Gia
00:17:20doesn't affect
00:17:21your relationship.
00:17:23Do you still believe that?
00:17:28Last week was probably
00:17:29one of the most heaviest weeks
00:17:30we've had in this whole experiment.
00:17:32More so for Gia.
00:17:33She's had a lot
00:17:33to take on herself,
00:17:35not wanting to be here
00:17:38for a few reasons.
00:17:40There's only so much
00:17:42you know,
00:17:43I'm here to protect her
00:17:44and cater for her
00:17:44and make sure she's okay
00:17:45and give her reassurance.
00:17:46But there was a lot
00:17:47that happened pretty much
00:17:47every day.
00:17:48And I will admit,
00:17:49like,
00:17:51it does make me
00:17:54not be myself.
00:17:58What do you mean?
00:18:00My energy dropped
00:18:01and I just,
00:18:03because I'm just
00:18:04trying to be positive.
00:18:05And
00:18:07it's hard sometimes.
00:18:09But feedback week,
00:18:10yeah,
00:18:10it was pretty hard.
00:18:11What was hard
00:18:12about feedback week?
00:18:13Obviously the commitment
00:18:14ceremony was,
00:18:15you know,
00:18:15I walked out
00:18:15and I wasn't good.
00:18:17You know,
00:18:18and I just,
00:18:19I was just feeling off.
00:18:20Right?
00:18:21So then I get told
00:18:22I have a feedback date
00:18:24and I'm like,
00:18:25oh my God,
00:18:25I can't do this.
00:18:27I cannot put myself
00:18:29in a situation like this again
00:18:30where I'm arguing
00:18:31with somebody
00:18:32and I'm like,
00:18:32you know what,
00:18:33I don't want to go on the date.
00:18:35So what did you choose to do?
00:18:36I didn't go on the date.
00:18:40With these challenges
00:18:41that we set,
00:18:44you are
00:18:45certainly taken
00:18:46out of your comfort zone
00:18:47but they're done
00:18:47for a reason.
00:18:49Here we go.
00:18:50It's alright.
00:18:51It's not.
00:18:52Always about everything
00:18:53but our relationship.
00:18:57God,
00:18:58like,
00:18:58how many more times
00:18:59am I going to get,
00:19:00like,
00:19:00attacked?
00:19:02It's not.
00:19:02It's not.
00:19:03That's what the vibe
00:19:04I'm getting.
00:19:04It's not.
00:19:06I've been apologising,
00:19:07I've been accountable,
00:19:08I've been changing
00:19:09my behaviour.
00:19:10I just feel like
00:19:11the feedback letter,
00:19:14I felt like
00:19:15it was an attack on me.
00:19:16The tasks
00:19:17that we received
00:19:18to do,
00:19:19I just found
00:19:20were just like,
00:19:21like,
00:19:21not nice.
00:19:23Number one
00:19:24is Gia,
00:19:25remove yourself
00:19:25from any group chats
00:19:26that you're in.
00:19:28Number two,
00:19:30detox from all social media
00:19:31till final vows.
00:19:33Number three,
00:19:34no physical touch
00:19:35for ten days.
00:19:37And I was like,
00:19:38I took it,
00:19:40this is how I took it,
00:19:41he took it different,
00:19:42I took it as
00:19:42an attack of like,
00:19:44oh my God,
00:19:44like,
00:19:45another thing against me.
00:19:50Why do you feel
00:19:50like people are
00:19:51attacking you?
00:19:52I don't know.
00:19:54You have no idea?
00:19:55Well,
00:19:55that was Stella
00:19:56and Phillip,
00:19:57so I'm not sure why.
00:20:00There's just one thing
00:20:01I like to outlay
00:20:03is like,
00:20:03whether something's
00:20:04negative or bad
00:20:05or like something
00:20:06you don't want to hear
00:20:07or see,
00:20:07we don't need to hold
00:20:08on to it.
00:20:10Because sometimes
00:20:11I feel it does hurt you
00:20:13in a way deep down
00:20:14where it's got to be
00:20:16said out loud
00:20:16or people need to know
00:20:17I hate it all.
00:20:18Sometimes I feel like
00:20:19you hold on to it
00:20:20with a bit of power
00:20:21behind you
00:20:21and you want to
00:20:22deliver it back
00:20:23to someone.
00:20:25And I feel
00:20:26if we can let go
00:20:26of things a lot easier,
00:20:28we can move past that
00:20:29and then just focus
00:20:30on the other stuff.
00:20:33Because I see the light
00:20:34in everything
00:20:34all the time.
00:20:35Like these things
00:20:36that are said,
00:20:36that is,
00:20:37it doesn't matter
00:20:37how bad it is.
00:20:38It's not like
00:20:39we're bad people.
00:20:40People just see
00:20:41what they have
00:20:41an opinion for.
00:20:42Right, this is your
00:20:42perception though.
00:20:43For me,
00:20:45for my own personal reasons
00:20:47and what I've been through
00:20:47in life,
00:20:48I felt attacked.
00:20:56I walked into this
00:20:57experiment,
00:20:57I said even my audition,
00:20:58I don't like negative
00:20:59stuff,
00:21:00I don't like drama,
00:21:01I don't like any of that,
00:21:01I don't want in my life
00:21:02and I know Gia's been
00:21:04involved in some of it
00:21:05and we had an agreement.
00:21:06Can you make a promise
00:21:07to me not involve yourself
00:21:08in drama for the rest
00:21:09of this experiment?
00:21:11There's been a few
00:21:12difficult things
00:21:12inside the experiment
00:21:14and I have to know
00:21:16whether it's the pressure
00:21:17in here or whether this
00:21:18is outside as well.
00:21:21Nothing's really
00:21:22affected me in this
00:21:22experiment,
00:21:23the only thing is
00:21:23just the drama stuff,
00:21:24I just,
00:21:24I don't like it.
00:21:26And I just want to make
00:21:27sure and be reassured
00:21:27there's not going to be
00:21:28that shit outside this
00:21:29because I won't tolerate
00:21:29it, that's it.
00:21:32For me,
00:21:32I don't want someone
00:21:33who's going to retaliate
00:21:33in really bad behaviour,
00:21:35that's what I mean.
00:21:37It's about how you
00:21:37carry yourself.
00:21:38It's common knowledge,
00:21:39I would never do that.
00:21:40That's what I'm saying
00:21:40from the stuff that's
00:21:41in the experiment,
00:21:42I don't want to see
00:21:43that outside the experiment,
00:21:44that's all it is.
00:21:44I'm not saying anything bad,
00:21:45it's just what I've seen.
00:21:46Yeah, just,
00:21:46you don't know me
00:21:47well enough then.
00:21:49Babe, I'm only helping.
00:21:50It's just not who I am,
00:21:51I just do not do that
00:21:52in life.
00:21:54I do nursing,
00:21:55like,
00:21:55I'm a kind person,
00:21:57I would never,
00:21:57but anyway.
00:21:58I'm not saying
00:21:58you're like that,
00:21:59I'm trying to just say
00:22:00what I'm feeling.
00:22:06She's not going
00:22:07to be happy
00:22:07with him saying that,
00:22:08I guarantee you.
00:22:12Scott's just talking
00:22:13about his experience
00:22:15with you,
00:22:16what he's seen.
00:22:17He can only work
00:22:18with what he's seen
00:22:19and he has seen you
00:22:21rise to the drama.
00:22:22So he's not saying
00:22:24he knows that that's
00:22:26what you're going to do
00:22:26on the outside,
00:22:27he's saying he knows
00:22:28that that's what you have
00:22:29done within the experiment.
00:22:31So surely that's reasonable.
00:22:33Yep.
00:22:38No, we're getting
00:22:39slammed, Chris.
00:22:40Yeah.
00:22:41You're not getting slammed,
00:22:42babe.
00:22:42It's nothing.
00:22:45No, I'm all good.
00:22:46I'm sorry,
00:22:47I'm all good,
00:22:47all good.
00:22:47I don't like to cry,
00:22:48you know,
00:22:49just, I'm fine.
00:22:51Let's just finish this,
00:22:53please.
00:22:53Yep.
00:22:54Mm-hmm.
00:23:08You're all right.
00:23:09Sorry, I'm all good.
00:23:11Gia, do you feel secure
00:23:12in this relationship?
00:23:14Yeah.
00:23:16What makes you say that?
00:23:18Um, because even when I say
00:23:21I'm going to leave,
00:23:21he's like,
00:23:22no, you can't leave.
00:23:24Um, like,
00:23:25when I, like,
00:23:26lose my mind
00:23:27and, like, spiral,
00:23:28he's always there
00:23:29to, like,
00:23:30be positive
00:23:31and try and turn
00:23:32my mood around
00:23:33and I feel like
00:23:34he's got me
00:23:35and I can feel like,
00:23:37yeah, I feel secure
00:23:37in this relationship.
00:23:39What about you, Scott?
00:23:42Well,
00:23:44the thing is, like,
00:23:45yes, we face
00:23:45these hard things
00:23:46and we're not
00:23:48perfect people
00:23:49but I see
00:23:50so many good things
00:23:52about you
00:23:53and that's why I'm here.
00:23:54Like, you're such
00:23:54a beautiful person.
00:23:55Like, we've had a rough week
00:23:57but we always come back
00:23:58to each other.
00:23:58So you feel secure
00:23:59in this relationship?
00:24:00100%, yeah,
00:24:01I feel secure.
00:24:03We just have
00:24:04these little hurdles
00:24:04to get through,
00:24:05understand one another,
00:24:06you know,
00:24:07and keep pursuing
00:24:08our life together.
00:24:12All right,
00:24:13well, let's go
00:24:13to the decision.
00:24:14Uh, let's go
00:24:15with you first, Scott.
00:24:18I'm grateful
00:24:18that we're still here together
00:24:20and then we got through
00:24:20and we're still smiling
00:24:21and I cannot wait
00:24:23for home stays.
00:24:24It's all right to stay
00:24:25and happy two months
00:24:26to my beautiful wife.
00:24:27Aw,
00:24:27that's cute.
00:24:29Gia, stay or leave?
00:24:31Um,
00:24:31I know I need to work
00:24:32on some things
00:24:33and I'm committed
00:24:34to doing that
00:24:34because, like,
00:24:35he's worth it
00:24:36and I need to, like,
00:24:37grow as a person.
00:24:38I can't keep doing
00:24:39these behaviours
00:24:40that I've been doing
00:24:41and I know I'm wrong
00:24:41for that.
00:24:42So, um,
00:24:43I'm just going to be
00:24:44positive this week
00:24:45and move forward
00:24:45and we're going to be
00:24:46in our swimsuits
00:24:47at the beach
00:24:48on the Gold Coast.
00:24:50Little boys.
00:24:52I've got square boobs,
00:24:53I don't know why,
00:24:53but that's a bikini.
00:24:54That's a bikini.
00:24:56OK, well,
00:24:57I know that that was
00:24:57a very intense session
00:25:00and it's so important
00:25:01for you guys
00:25:02to not brush things
00:25:05under the carpet.
00:25:06I know, Scott,
00:25:07you've mentioned
00:25:07that you like to look
00:25:08on the bright side
00:25:10of life,
00:25:11move forward
00:25:12as fast as you can,
00:25:13leave the past behind.
00:25:14Problem is,
00:25:15if you do that
00:25:16all the time,
00:25:17you don't address
00:25:18the issues that are there.
00:25:20And rather than saying,
00:25:21it's just going to be OK,
00:25:22forget about it,
00:25:24actually instead go,
00:25:25well, tell me more.
00:25:27And for you, Gia,
00:25:28what's really important
00:25:29is that if there's an issue
00:25:30that comes up from Scott
00:25:32that you stay with it
00:25:34rather than look at it
00:25:35as a personal attack.
00:25:36This is just feedback
00:25:38about a behaviour.
00:25:40And I can sit here
00:25:41and talk about that behaviour
00:25:43and then as a team
00:25:44we can do something different
00:25:45moving forward.
00:25:47That'll help us a lot
00:25:48to be honest.
00:25:49Because like sometimes
00:25:50I want to bring things up
00:25:52and then I get a bit scared
00:25:53because I don't want you
00:25:54to get the wrong ideas
00:25:55if I'm trying to attack you.
00:25:57It's because I genuinely care
00:25:59and I just want to fix
00:26:00a few little things
00:26:01that'll help both of us.
00:26:02Yep.
00:26:02So I really love
00:26:03what you just said.
00:26:04Now with that,
00:26:05have a great week
00:26:06and we'll see you next time.
00:26:07Thanks, guys.
00:26:08Well done, guys.
00:26:09Cheers.
00:26:10Have a great week.
00:26:27Still to come,
00:26:30what has Sam in tears
00:26:35and later...
00:26:36Did you see yourself
00:26:37falling in love with me?
00:26:39Danny is put in the hot seat.
00:26:42I think I misinterpreted
00:26:43the question
00:26:44because it's a pretty
00:26:45black and white question.
00:27:02Next up,
00:27:05Rachel and Stephen.
00:27:10Hello.
00:27:11Welcome.
00:27:12Hi.
00:27:12Welcome, welcome.
00:27:13It's nice to see you.
00:27:16Feedback Week.
00:27:17Tell us about Feedback Week.
00:27:19Um, I actually think
00:27:21Feedback Week
00:27:22was great for Stephen and I.
00:27:24We started off
00:27:25with the first tasks
00:27:26with questions.
00:27:27The question of, you know,
00:27:29saying,
00:27:29can you see yourself
00:27:31falling in love with me
00:27:31at some point?
00:27:34We both had a big
00:27:35resounding yes.
00:27:36And so that was really nice
00:27:38because in terms of
00:27:41the way we view our lives
00:27:43in the future,
00:27:44they very much align.
00:27:46And so,
00:27:47yeah, it was really good.
00:27:49It was just a really great task.
00:27:52Feedback Week has been,
00:27:53you know, amazing.
00:27:56I got some really good advice
00:27:58from Alyssa
00:27:59of trying to be
00:28:00a bit more of a leader.
00:28:01Which we saw.
00:28:03We saw,
00:28:03we were very impressed.
00:28:05Oh, you saw that?
00:28:06At the dinner party.
00:28:08You did have a moment
00:28:09at the dinner party
00:28:10where you stood up
00:28:11to the group
00:28:12and you spoke
00:28:13on behalf of the relationship
00:28:15in such a mature,
00:28:17such a take charge,
00:28:19such a masculine,
00:28:20such a
00:28:21all there.
00:28:22All there
00:28:23kind of wave.
00:28:25We were very impressed
00:28:27and we were
00:28:27literally cheering that on.
00:28:29It was a really,
00:28:30really good moment
00:28:32to see Rachel
00:28:32beaming
00:28:33because you were
00:28:35beaming,
00:28:35you were so proud
00:28:36of your man
00:28:37speaking up
00:28:38to the group.
00:28:41Setting those boundaries
00:28:43for the group
00:28:43and for the two of you.
00:28:45Well, I'm going to
00:28:45implement that
00:28:46not just for one day.
00:28:47It's going to be
00:28:47just in the relationship.
00:28:49I've got to put
00:28:49my captain's socks,
00:28:50undies and hat on
00:28:53and take a bit
00:28:54of charge
00:28:54and leadership.
00:28:57Captain.
00:28:58I like it.
00:28:59Captain Steve-O.
00:29:01I'm going to get
00:29:01a hat for him.
00:29:05How did it feel
00:29:06in the moment
00:29:06to speak to the group
00:29:08the way that you did
00:29:09and to ascertain
00:29:10those boundaries
00:29:10and make yourself
00:29:12be heard so clearly?
00:29:15I know I'm pretty quiet
00:29:16in the dinner parties
00:29:17and I sort of like
00:29:17to keep things
00:29:18to myself
00:29:19because I feel like
00:29:20it's just a little bit
00:29:21easier to keep
00:29:22your mouth closed.
00:29:24In some situations,
00:29:26I guess it was good
00:29:27to, you know,
00:29:28finally be heard.
00:29:30I can imagine so.
00:29:34You guys have really
00:29:36been a bit of a slow burn
00:29:38but every week
00:29:40we start to see
00:29:41something emerge.
00:29:42The intimacy,
00:29:44the speaking up,
00:29:45there's a lot of change
00:29:46in the two of you
00:29:47that I see
00:29:48and it's on a week
00:29:49by week basis.
00:29:51What's it doing
00:29:52to you, Steve-O,
00:29:54in terms of how
00:29:54you're feeling
00:29:55about this lovely woman?
00:29:59I feel really connected
00:30:00to Rachel.
00:30:01We're getting closer.
00:30:03I feel like as well,
00:30:04saying to Rachel,
00:30:05I feel like I've come
00:30:05such a long way
00:30:06from the wedding
00:30:07and the ups and downs
00:30:09that we've had.
00:30:09so feeling, yeah,
00:30:11really good.
00:30:12Rachel,
00:30:13for you towards him,
00:30:15what's going on
00:30:16inside of you?
00:30:17So I really like Stephen.
00:30:20I've been very clear
00:30:21about that.
00:30:21I'm very connected
00:30:22with Stephen.
00:30:24It's just so comfortable
00:30:25to be ourselves
00:30:26and have fun
00:30:28and, you know,
00:30:29it's just amazing.
00:30:30And so I'm at the point
00:30:32now where
00:30:33my man is leaving
00:30:34and he is actually
00:30:35starting to show me
00:30:36what my life here
00:30:37in Sydney
00:30:38could look like.
00:30:42That really shows
00:30:44through your body language
00:30:45is just how
00:30:46close
00:30:48and comfortable
00:30:49you are
00:30:49with one another
00:30:51and
00:30:52loving,
00:30:54dare I say it.
00:30:55Are we reading
00:30:56this correctly?
00:30:57Does it feel comfortable
00:30:58to be sitting like that?
00:31:00This is all,
00:31:01this is common,
00:31:01you know,
00:31:02in the apartment.
00:31:03Now you're showing off.
00:31:06Mate.
00:31:10So with that in mind,
00:31:11we're going to go
00:31:11to a decision.
00:31:12Yeah.
00:31:13Let's kick it off
00:31:14with you,
00:31:15Rachel.
00:31:17This is a huge shock,
00:31:19I know,
00:31:19but I've written
00:31:20stay
00:31:21and I put, like,
00:31:22the sun and, like,
00:31:23that's water
00:31:24from our little beach days.
00:31:27Cute.
00:31:28And Steve-O.
00:31:29I like where this is going,
00:31:31so
00:31:31why would I do
00:31:32anything else
00:31:33besides stay?
00:31:38Good on you guys.
00:31:40Thank you so much.
00:31:41Well done.
00:31:42Great.
00:31:42Thank you so much.
00:31:49Hi-fives.
00:31:52It's a nice one.
00:32:08Our next couple on the couch
00:32:12Chris and Sam
00:32:18Hello you two
00:32:19Howdy, hi
00:32:20Hello guys
00:32:21How we doing?
00:32:24Well, I've got to say this is a very different energy from the two of you, not what we're
00:32:30used to at all, you're like a very different couple right now
00:32:34Yeah
00:32:37Do you want to let us in?
00:32:42Chris you don't look very happy
00:32:43No, I'm just like um, like first of all, you asked me a question last week, are you starting
00:32:50to envision a life outside of the experiment?
00:32:52I thought it was admirable that I was actually thinking after the experiment and I said
00:32:55perhaps potentially Sam based himself in Sydney, it came from a really good place but Sam was
00:33:02upset that I didn't consult him before answering the question that you asked me and then he
00:33:07said to me 10 minutes prior to the dinner party, your three apologies weren't genuine enough,
00:33:11I'm going to bring it up in front of the group. We could have facilitated that in the apartment in
00:33:16a more private controlled environment.
00:33:20I feel like I've um, you know, been dragged through the coals and
00:33:23Alright, I'm just going to go to Sam because there's something I just want to clarify here.
00:33:27Why was it that you felt the need to bring this up in that group context?
00:33:32I wanted feedback from the group. I can go talk to my friends
00:33:36you can go talk to your friends and we can try and like see if we can move past this
00:33:41because I just couldn't see getting to a conclusion with just the two of us because I was just getting
00:33:45shut down
00:33:47That's why
00:33:50There are some pretty big lifestyle changes ahead of the two of you
00:33:56Chris has got children coming
00:33:57Yeah
00:33:57You know, Chris has the farm
00:33:59Yeah
00:34:00And, you know, clearly life's going to be very much rooted around Chris's existing world
00:34:06Yeah
00:34:06And a lot of movement and compromise on your part, Sam
00:34:11Is this the elephant in the room here for the two of you?
00:34:17Does it feel like it'll be you making all of the sacrifice?
00:34:23I'll be making big moves. Yeah, so 90% of the sacrifice would be on me to like fit into
00:34:29Chris's life
00:34:29Which is fine. Like I know that
00:34:32I'm prepared to do that if we fall for each other
00:34:34But I just didn't want to feel like I had no say in even how that would look
00:34:40I just feel like there could be a bit more empathy around the fact that there's a lot that I
00:34:44have to change
00:34:45And I would have really liked if you discussed that with me before
00:34:50How does that sit with you, Chris?
00:34:52Yeah
00:34:55My answer to you was coming from a good place
00:34:58That question that you asked me
00:35:00Are you thinking about life outside of this experiment?
00:35:03Which I thought was such a cute question
00:35:05That question has now like spiralled into something so much bigger than what we had anticipated
00:35:11And it's um put a huge rift between us obviously
00:35:14And um yeah
00:35:15Sam
00:35:18I've been watching you and you look a bit withdrawn
00:35:23What has all this do you feel Sam done to your relationship?
00:35:28To be honest like it's
00:35:30It's really sad because you guys saw me at the last commitment ceremony
00:35:33And I even wrote in my journal afterwards that a life with Chris could be magical and amazing
00:35:38Um and it's just like taking the feet out from underneath me
00:35:42Um yeah
00:35:45It sucks
00:35:49Chris one of the things I said to you very curious
00:35:51Because essentially you were in a great place a week ago
00:35:55And then Sam has brought something up gently to just say you know I felt a little bit excluded
00:36:01I thought that would have brought you closer
00:36:05But in fact the reaction he got pushes him away rather than brings him close
00:36:12Yeah
00:36:14And one of the things I went to is did you take Sam's reaction as some something of a rejection
00:36:25Because what I'm thinking
00:36:27Is that your anger was coming from hurt and fear and it often does
00:36:33You've taken it very personally and I want to put that to you
00:36:37If that's the case what might that be about
00:36:43Maybe just unsuccessful relationships um in the past you know like yeah and I have been hurt a lot
00:36:52Here's the thing
00:36:54He's bringing this conversation up in front of the group
00:36:59Not because he wants to throw you under the bus
00:37:01But because he wants to be able to talk to you and he feels like he can't
00:37:05To the point where he's too scared to bring up a conversation with you and he needs to take it
00:37:10to a larger group
00:37:12That has got to get you starting to look at yourself and how you're talking
00:37:19This is a real moment of truth for you
00:37:23Because a communication style has contributed to the real crisis that you're in now
00:37:33That doesn't mean that you can't recover
00:37:35And tonight is one of those absolute key crossroads for you chris
00:37:40Mm-hmm. Yeah
00:37:46All right, let's go to the decision
00:37:49Let's go with you first chris stay or leave
00:37:52I've been going back and forth the last couple of days
00:37:54Um, and I've actually decided that I need and I want to go put my dad hat on and I
00:38:00would like to leave
00:38:18All right
00:38:18Let's go to the decision
00:38:19let's go with you first chris stay or leave
00:38:22I've been going back and forth the last couple of days and I've actually decided that I need to
00:38:28and I want to go put my dad hat on and I would like to leave.
00:38:53It's a huge turnaround from last week.
00:38:57Yeah.
00:39:00I just think that I need to concentrate on this next thing that's coming and he's an amazing guy
00:39:07and he'll be amazing for someone. I just don't think it's me for the moment.
00:39:23Sam, what's going on for you right now?
00:39:31I just didn't see that coming. I thought...
00:39:38I thought, you know, this is the first hiccup we've had and we'd both come into this ready to take
00:39:43on feedback
00:39:46and then try and implement that and see if that could help.
00:39:50And it just hurts to be like, you've just given up.
00:39:56Because it got tough for a few days.
00:40:01So yeah, I just can't believe it.
00:40:06Let's go to your decision then, Sam. What have you got?
00:40:09As much as Chris gave up a lot to be here, I gave up a lot and I was...
00:40:12I wanted to leave here with absolutely no regrets either way.
00:40:16Like 100% knowing if Chris was the guy for me.
00:40:20Right now I feel like I would have regrets and I wouldn't know completely if we could have made it
00:40:24work.
00:40:26Like I was prepared to take on anything you guys had to say and try and put it into work.
00:40:39Well, as you know, in this experiment the rules are if one person says stay and the other person says
00:40:44leave,
00:40:45the couple stays for another week and they work on the relationship.
00:40:50It might seem like a lost cause, but frankly we see couples absolutely turn things around in one week.
00:41:02But it will require some heavy lifting from the both of you.
00:41:11I mean the one thing about you two right now is that it's not friendly.
00:41:15So when you think about how you're going to take on this week,
00:41:19to start talking to one another in a respectful way and acting in a considerate way.
00:41:24And from there you can start to see how it changes your relationship.
00:41:31Let me remind you it was only a week ago that you were loved up on that couch, excited about
00:41:36the future.
00:41:41But with a weenus can come change.
00:41:46And all you've got to do is treat each other in a friendly way.
00:41:53All right.
00:41:54Thank you both.
00:41:56Good work tonight. Well done.
00:41:57That was hard.
00:42:06Well done darlings.
00:42:11Well done guys.
00:42:16I just want a guy.
00:42:22Okay, our next couple on the couch.
00:42:25Alyssa and David.
00:42:26Oh.
00:42:30Hello you two.
00:42:31Hello.
00:42:32Welcome.
00:42:35How was feedback week for you guys?
00:42:38So obviously feedback week started with some receipts from Juliet.
00:42:42Um, from last couch session that we had.
00:42:45That was the start of our feedback week.
00:42:48Which was kind of negative.
00:42:50You hear about, oh just the messages, but they were actually really vicious.
00:42:55Yeah, it wasn't okay.
00:42:57It was, it definitely was a fresh, it was fresh hurt for David and I.
00:43:01Yeah, look, um, seeing those text messages just reopened wounds that were obviously closing over.
00:43:09Obviously it was a negative vibe to feedback week.
00:43:12We didn't want to see that, but it came to us.
00:43:14So, yeah, um, yeah, moving on from that.
00:43:19Feedback week actually went really well.
00:43:21Because we managed to talk about, um, some things.
00:43:25Yeah, we talked about a plan for when we left the experiment.
00:43:27What that was going to look like, you know, a bit of long distance maybe.
00:43:31And then, uh, figure out like if we're moving to maybe Adelaide.
00:43:37So obviously, you know, getting to an age in the next couple of years I want to have a family.
00:43:43And I want to be in Adelaide for that.
00:43:46And that was something that I hadn't talked to David about, but he was amazing.
00:43:50He was like, I understand if you need to be with your family and you need extra support, then we're
00:43:54going to move to Adelaide.
00:43:56And I understand raising kids is not an easy task.
00:43:58So, you know, she's obviously got her family there, her mom and her mom's a legend.
00:44:04Alyssa would be a fantastic mother.
00:44:06She notices everything about me.
00:44:08You know what I'm saying? Like she, she helps me a lot.
00:44:11I did say though, I did say, I did say though, she reminds me of my mother.
00:44:17She might be like, don't wear that shirt.
00:44:19It doesn't like, it doesn't look good on you.
00:44:21Like just straight to the point and direct.
00:44:23That's what my mother would do.
00:44:25So that's what makes me know that she's got deep feelings and she cares.
00:44:28Cause like, she tells me things that challenge me, you know, and she doesn't just settle.
00:44:33Like she's always looking to grow.
00:44:35She brings out the best in me as well.
00:44:37And I think that's someone I need in my life.
00:44:39Someone who's always going to push me to be better.
00:44:41Hmm. So you're in a good place guys.
00:44:44I feel like we're, we're the strongest we've ever been.
00:44:48Yeah. I would agree.
00:44:49Like right now. We are. We definitely are.
00:44:51That's great.
00:44:52Yeah.
00:44:52Brilliant. Let's go to the decision.
00:44:55Alyssa, what'll it be?
00:44:56Well, obviously got an exciting week coming up.
00:45:00Homestay.
00:45:00Homestay.
00:45:01I'm about to convince you that you might like Adelaide, so.
00:45:06Stay.
00:45:06What was that?
00:45:07Fabulous.
00:45:08Show you around.
00:45:12So I wrote stay.
00:45:14I go on a little plane.
00:45:15Oh.
00:45:16Flying.
00:45:16Flying Adelaide.
00:45:18Take me home baby.
00:45:19Yep.
00:45:20I love it.
00:45:21Ready to go.
00:45:21Yeah.
00:45:21Yeah.
00:45:22There has been some really tough times for you guys.
00:45:27And you've just turned toward each other, backed each other and supported each other like a real team.
00:45:33Thanks guys.
00:45:35Well done.
00:45:44Thanks.
00:45:45Coming up.
00:45:46Frankly, when I watch you on the couch, you seem uncomfortable.
00:45:50The experts apply the pressure to Danny.
00:45:53If you could do it over again, how would you answer it?
00:45:57I'd just say yes.
00:45:59Yes what?
00:46:00I could see myself all in love with you.
00:46:02Yeah.
00:46:02That's as simple as that.
00:46:04And would that be the truth?
00:46:19Our next couple up on the couch, Philip and Stella.
00:46:25Ooh.
00:46:29Hello.
00:46:30Hello, hello.
00:46:31Hi.
00:46:32Welcome.
00:46:33Hi.
00:46:34Last week was a little bit tough for you two on the couch.
00:46:39I see such a different energy just walking up to the couch.
00:46:45I really want to thank Mel for her advice.
00:46:48To focus on the emotional safety that he's providing and giving me.
00:46:52And it's such a simple thing when you think, but I didn't think about it.
00:46:56And that was just like a penny drop moment for me.
00:46:59I really, I really want to thank you guys because I think if not the confinements of the experiment probably
00:47:05would be different story at the end of the day.
00:47:07So yeah, thank you.
00:47:09It's these uncomfortable chats that need to happen.
00:47:11It's not, you're having a go.
00:47:13It's just.
00:47:13Yeah.
00:47:14Yeah.
00:47:14It helps.
00:47:15It helped us this week.
00:47:16Tremendously.
00:47:17Yeah.
00:47:18Great to hear.
00:47:19Yeah.
00:47:19We ended up having a good week.
00:47:20Like she was, she was a lot more gentler.
00:47:22Like, you know, coming and leading with kindness.
00:47:24She's just been a little bit more gentle just with her delivery.
00:47:27I can see sometimes she just, as she sometimes starts talking, she'll just stop and then she'll just go a
00:47:32little bit softer.
00:47:33But just things like that, you know, I can just little subtle differences that you can tell.
00:47:37Like, yeah, don't get me wrong.
00:47:37Stella's still Stella, but, you know, but she's a little bit, yeah, she's a little bit different energy.
00:47:44And we actually had a really, really good week.
00:47:46Go ask the question of like, all right, if we go outside the experiment, how quick would you expect like
00:47:51a proposal or something like that?
00:47:52Just to like fully escalate things.
00:47:54You know, you're just asking randomly, just throw it out there.
00:47:56It's a free question.
00:47:58I said six to 12 months and Stella was just like ASAP.
00:48:03So it's just kind of like.
00:48:04I said the sooner the better.
00:48:05Wow.
00:48:08Sometimes I thought that like I was fully over invested and I was showing too much because that's a general
00:48:13trade of mine.
00:48:14I just go all in, you know, I show all my cards.
00:48:16Here they are, you know, I never really hold back.
00:48:18That's kind of like a trade of mine, but it was good to get the reassurance.
00:48:22I just point out something that's quite stark for you, Stella.
00:48:28Last week you were essentially pushing him away and creating that space.
00:48:33And this week you're saying you want a real life proposal ASAP.
00:48:38Well, let's put it that way.
00:48:39I didn't say I would like a proposal.
00:48:41That was a free question.
00:48:42Let's clarify.
00:48:43And I got really shy.
00:48:45I got really uncomfortable and I said the sooner the better, you know.
00:48:48The sooner the better.
00:48:49Yeah.
00:48:49But still, the stark contrast I guess from last week.
00:48:52Yeah.
00:48:52How does that feel from your perspective?
00:48:55Like I'm crazy.
00:48:56I'm trying to make sense of it.
00:48:57It's a bit confusing.
00:48:58No, it's not being crazy.
00:48:59But it's just, it's extreme.
00:49:00Can't really give up.
00:49:01It's extreme.
00:49:02And it has an emotional impact.
00:49:04Nah.
00:49:04It's good.
00:49:05How that feels for you.
00:49:06It's good.
00:49:07It shows that she's forward thinking.
00:49:09She sees me in her future and that she's like the real deal, you know.
00:49:12When you think about the future, is this something that you can see for the two of you?
00:49:17Yeah, yeah.
00:49:18Definitely.
00:49:18Most definitely.
00:49:19So, yeah.
00:49:20Pretty, pretty confident.
00:49:23Got it.
00:49:23I guess it's interesting tonight that the first thing I noticed was the way you looked
00:49:27at him again.
00:49:28Aww.
00:49:29Yeah, I'm in love again.
00:49:31Because you were back into that.
00:49:31You were back into that sort of starry-eyed interaction where you gaze at him in extended
00:49:37ways.
00:49:37Oh, you're going to make me cry.
00:49:39We lost.
00:49:39Well, yeah.
00:49:41We just.
00:49:41No, but we just.
00:49:42We lost that last week.
00:49:43Yeah.
00:49:44I would say I just fell back into my feelings, into my body, into showing up for myself
00:49:49and then showing up for him.
00:49:50Because if I don't show up for myself, I can't show up for him.
00:49:53Yeah.
00:49:54And that's the main difference.
00:49:55And ultimately I think you had to get out of your head.
00:49:58Yeah.
00:49:58And into your heart.
00:50:00Which is ultimately what we were trying to get you to do.
00:50:03Mm.
00:50:04All right.
00:50:05Well, with that being the case, let's go to the decision, stay or leave.
00:50:09The decision is very simple and being back into my heart.
00:50:13Aha.
00:50:14Another beautiful stay.
00:50:15Excellent.
00:50:16Look at that, eh?
00:50:17Perfect.
00:50:18And fill it.
00:50:19It's a stay.
00:50:21Strong.
00:50:22It's a strong stay.
00:50:23Strong stay.
00:50:24Strong stay.
00:50:25Strong stay.
00:50:25Strong stay.
00:50:26Well, thank you.
00:50:27We really.
00:50:27I personally really appreciate the advices that you guys gave.
00:50:31Good work.
00:50:32You will do.
00:50:33Thanks again.
00:50:42And our final couple up on the couch, Bec and Danny.
00:50:48Ooh, I'm scared.
00:50:56Right.
00:50:57Feedback week.
00:50:58How was it?
00:51:00Do you want to talk?
00:51:01I'll talk.
00:51:01It's been good.
00:51:02It was challenging to begin with.
00:51:05But it ended really, really well.
00:51:07Why was it challenging?
00:51:12So, obviously, like, I told Danny that I'm in love with him.
00:51:16The last commitment ceremony.
00:51:18You certainly did.
00:51:20It's how I feel.
00:51:21It's how I feel.
00:51:22So, I'm going to say it.
00:51:25And I meant it.
00:51:28But when we sort of did the questions, there was one question that came up was, can you
00:51:33see yourself falling in love with me?
00:51:36And Danny didn't say no, but he sort of um-denied a little bit and I just spiralled.
00:51:44So, what was his exact answer?
00:51:47Uh, potentially, yes.
00:51:49I assume so.
00:51:52So, how did that feel?
00:51:54Um, I was upset.
00:51:55I was hurt and I was kind of embarrassed.
00:52:03I thought that he would have said, no, I'm not there yet, but yes.
00:52:08I just thought that it, that he would be a little bit further along than potentially,
00:52:14yes, I assume so.
00:52:15But I need to allow Daniel to be on his journey in this relationship and I'll be on mine and
00:52:24don't regret it.
00:52:26Be me.
00:52:28I'm in love.
00:52:30He's not there yet.
00:52:32Don't allow that fact to ruin how good it feels for me.
00:52:40Sorry, sorry.
00:52:45Danny.
00:52:49Let's go to that discussion, shall we?
00:52:51And when the question got asked, tell us again what you said and then why you said it.
00:52:59Well, the question's asked sometimes I struggle with, to be honest.
00:53:03I think I misinterpreted the question.
00:53:09But the question, what was it like?
00:53:11It was a bit-
00:53:11Could you see yourself falling in love with me?
00:53:14It was a pretty black and white question.
00:53:36Could you see yourself falling in love with me?
00:53:40Because it's a pretty black and white question.
00:53:51It, from my point of view, I don't feel, as a man, like, if I give back my word on
00:53:58something, I'm always going to stand to that.
00:54:02And I don't think saying, yes, I can 100% fall in love with you would be the right thing
00:54:08to say, because it's almost making a promise, which I don't think you can promise that before you're in love
00:54:13with someone.
00:54:16But let's just remind ourselves, the question wasn't, do you promise that you will fall in love with me?
00:54:23Yeah, I know, John, 100%.
00:54:24It was, can you see yourself falling in love with me?
00:54:30Yeah.
00:54:31And do you know what?
00:54:32Like, I can't sit here and make excuses.
00:54:34I just answered the question shockingly.
00:54:37You know what I mean?
00:54:40It was a mistake.
00:54:41I made a mistake.
00:54:42I'm only human.
00:54:44Like, I didn't, I didn't mean to make Bec feel like that.
00:54:47It wasn't my intention.
00:54:50When, when we revisited it, I, um...
00:54:54We talked about it.
00:54:55Yeah, we talked about it.
00:54:57And we patched it up, you know?
00:55:01Um, yeah, I just, I made a mistake.
00:55:06It's alright, baby.
00:55:10Danny, I've got a question, because I'm curious.
00:55:14Frankly, when I watch you on the couch, you seem uncomfortable.
00:55:21I do find this uncomfortable, to be honest.
00:55:23It's not something I'm good at.
00:55:24What's uncomfortable about it?
00:55:26Just sitting here talking about your feelings.
00:55:29I turn up and do it, because, obviously, it's more for Bec.
00:55:33If I had it my way, I wouldn't be here, no chance.
00:55:36But we need this, babe.
00:55:37But is it more for Bec?
00:55:41100%.
00:55:45Like, a lot of blokes do things they don't want to do because of their...
00:55:48Hold on a second, doll.
00:55:49One second, babe.
00:55:51Adore you so much.
00:55:53I love you, actually.
00:55:55But...
00:55:56This is not all for me, darling.
00:55:58No, I know that they're like...
00:55:59You're being, you're, they're helping you too.
00:56:01Trust me!
00:56:04These couch sessions are not just for Bec.
00:56:06You signed up to the experiment on your own.
00:56:10Saying that you wanted to break some patterns.
00:56:13So this is the chance for you to do that.
00:56:15And that's your part where you have to rise to the occasion
00:56:18and choose to do that with enthusiasm.
00:56:22Enthusiasm, thank you.
00:56:23Thanks, Alessandra.
00:56:24You're welcome.
00:56:25No, but it's true.
00:56:26You want your partner to want to.
00:56:29And that's the game changer.
00:56:30When somebody really wants to be there for you
00:56:33and chooses to make your priority day in and day out,
00:56:36wow, that's the game changer.
00:56:38It would be for you.
00:56:40It certainly will be for Bec.
00:56:44And what you know now is when you're particularly talking
00:56:48about commitment, future, feelings,
00:56:53you do have to choose your words very carefully.
00:56:58You do indeed.
00:57:00If you could do it over again, how would you answer it?
00:57:04I'd just say yes.
00:57:08Yes what?
00:57:09I could see myself wanting in love with you.
00:57:11Yeah.
00:57:12That's as simple as that.
00:57:14And would that be the truth?
00:57:18Of course.
00:57:19I wouldn't say if it wasn't the truth.
00:57:21So yeah.
00:57:23I just answered it wrong.
00:57:25That was my answer.
00:57:28I think the best thing with Daniel and I, and I've learnt,
00:57:32is that, you know, we always come out better and stronger.
00:57:35Because now, moving forward, we're in this together.
00:57:39And it makes me feel like I'm not going to get hurt.
00:57:44It means so much.
00:57:47And like, for example, he planned this date and I walked into our apartment
00:57:51and there was candles lit everywhere.
00:57:54And all over the apartment was post-it notes telling me how he felt about me.
00:58:02So he's learning, guys.
00:58:04He's learning.
00:58:04I'm not all bad, am I?
00:58:06And then, we went up and he asked me to be his girlfriend.
00:58:14I know you're married, but what inspired you to ask Beck that question?
00:58:19Uh, I'm trying to think.
00:58:22Like, it was important to Beck, you know, because like, obviously...
00:58:26Why was it important to you?
00:58:33Um...
00:58:34Well, because it gives back security.
00:58:38But why is it important to you, Danny?
00:58:43Well, I'm married to Beck.
00:58:44Do you know what you mean?
00:58:45So it's like, but, but, like, I think it, it was more...
00:58:52Um, yeah, I think Beck just wanted that added security that, like, do you...
00:58:57But why was it important to you to ask her that?
00:59:02F***.
00:59:19F***.
00:59:20For sure.
00:59:21Yeah, I think Beck just wanted that added security that, like, do you...
00:59:24But why was it important to you to ask her that?
00:59:29F***.
00:59:30F***.
00:59:36Because I know it would be special to back.
00:59:40But why was it important to you?
00:59:48Um, well, because I wanted to be my girlfriend, like, you know?
00:59:58Um, yeah, that's why I've done it.
01:00:02Cute.
01:00:09How did it feel?
01:00:10So good.
01:00:16It's really special to me.
01:00:20Alright, well, on that note, we're going to go to a decision.
01:00:23Beg.
01:00:24I wrote stay and then I wrote boyfriend hee hee.
01:00:28Oh.
01:00:30Yeah, boyfriend.
01:00:33Danny.
01:00:35Leave, can you imagine?
01:00:37Yeah.
01:00:39So I've just done a cheeky stay.
01:00:42That's lovely.
01:00:43Where's the love part this week?
01:00:45It was in a rush.
01:00:45Oh, okay.
01:00:49This week, I think, for you, Danny, clearly and plainly, let her know how you feel about her.
01:00:59Everything that you wrote on those post-it notes, translate that into your verbal communication with her this week.
01:01:05Because it worked.
01:01:06It should be the best week of my life.
01:01:10You got a big thumbs up for that.
01:01:12So do more of that.
01:01:14Make her that priority.
01:01:21Thank you both.
01:01:22Thanks so much.
01:01:23Appreciate you.
01:01:42Tomorrow night.
01:01:45The experiment goes across the country.
01:01:48Welcome home.
01:01:50Wow.
01:01:51Home stays week has arrived.
01:01:54Over two big nights, our couples get a glimpse of what married life will look like.
01:01:59Yeah.
01:02:00Beyond the experiment.
01:02:02Woo, passenger princess.
01:02:04Steven sets sail on an exciting new future with Rachel.
01:02:08This is such a special place for him.
01:02:10How lucky am I for him to have welcomed me into this?
01:02:13I kind of like holding a rod and getting kissed.
01:02:16Oh, hang on.
01:02:20My vibes on the wedding day weren't really positive.
01:02:23And I'm here to protect her.
01:02:25Stella's outspoken guests from her wedding day are back.
01:02:28So like, I've bought information.
01:02:31I'm getting, sorry to interrupt you.
01:02:32I'm getting some not so confident vibes from over here.
01:02:36And then.
01:02:37Welcome.
01:02:38Scott shows off to Gia his waterside home.
01:02:41Oh, it's a bit messy.
01:02:43So random.
01:02:45Weird.
01:02:45This wouldn't be big enough.
01:02:47It would be better if that wasn't there.
01:02:48Is Gia the most high maintenance house guest Scott's ever seen?
01:02:52Um, my house is way cleaner.
01:02:55Yeah, I couldn't, I couldn't live here.
01:02:57If the roles were reversed and I was at Gia's house, I wouldn't say anything but nice things.
01:03:00O
01:03:01.
01:03:01.
