00:00:29minutes but the final crash course task gay guys coming up to me I don't like that
00:00:33saw he and Stephanie clash you like gay people I'm not gay myself you know each
00:00:39to their own but um I know that I hope so what I need more from you is space the
00:00:48eye gaze not gonna stand to your devil eyes and following a disastrous move-in
00:00:53week you don't see the star in me you don't see the light in me it's metaphor
00:01:00Juliette vented her rage at Joel at a fiery dinner party very disgusted by
00:01:05you I'm not I'm not married to a man I actually like the teddy more than I like
00:01:11Oh my god I am absolutely disgusted tonight welcome everybody to the fourth commitment ceremony love is in
00:01:26the air my husband told me last night you look sexy our couples continue to make significant progress
00:01:34we share that first patch thanks to you guys we love a patch so what's the issue with
00:01:38the words of the feelings are there Philip's moment of truth man has to say it first
00:01:43that's a Puerto Rican opinion too I get it is this the night he drops those magic words first of
00:01:53all I'm not
00:01:53against gay people I just feel like that whole topic can can really be pushed on us Tyson's unfiltered
00:01:59opinions I think you have much empathy cause tension amongst the group having awareness is
00:02:05not pushing anything I need but is this the hill he is willing to die on I'm done with this
00:02:10experiment
00:02:12and all we are hearing our excuses sorry seems to be the hardest word you were giving me devil eyes
00:02:20you should apologize to me Juliette's version of events leaves the whole room speechless I certainly
00:02:27understand what that means okay are you even listening to what I'm saying over Alessandra show some respect
00:02:57what's the fact of having an a sneeze or an orgasm what's happening
00:03:03it's the morning of the fourth commitment ceremony all right here give me a cuddle
00:03:09how's that coffee it's all right like a drink I'm drinking it
00:03:16another week following a successful family and friends week for Rachel and Stephen the pair are on
00:03:22cloud nine thanks for the pancakes you're very welcome coffee soothes the soul I don't think
00:03:30there's much to soothe this morning though their family and friends lunch was a huge step forward
00:03:36for the couple with Stephen receiving some much-needed advice from his family about his levels of
00:03:42affection towards Rachel feel like when they were sitting this she's like this on Steve and Steve's
00:03:48just sitting here like this like come on dude she obviously is really into you let your wall down a
00:03:55little bit and equipped with mum's words of wisdom Stephen is now seeing Rachel in a whole
00:04:00new light even like I feel like we've just shot forward in our relationship in a really great way like
00:04:07last night when we were going to bed Stephen was so happy pretty fun it was delightful that was a
00:04:15bit
00:04:15funny it's amazing what you when you just have a glass of wine and you talk for a few hours
00:04:20how you
00:04:21can feel about someone or you just have a little moment or bantering on you go oh you're awesome
00:04:28well I think we've had the best work we've had to be honest yeah you know that's why I'm sort
00:04:32of
00:04:32really looking forward to the commitment ceremony I want John to be like yeah good on you mate
00:04:39despite Rachel and Stephen's positivity last night's dinner party left many of the couples reeling
00:04:46as tensions between Juliet and Joel reached breaking point
00:04:50you see the way she speaks to me this is how it is I mean right now I'm like disgusted
00:04:57I'm not married to a man is what we're trying to say I actually like the teddy more than I
00:05:02like Joel
00:05:09Joel and Juliet that was a disaster it was it was chaos that was bad the way they communicated
00:05:15was horrible last night I felt really sorry for Joel yeah for her to just disrespect him like that in
00:05:23front of a whole group I think was out of order to be honest no I agree she was nasty
00:05:28she was so
00:05:29nasty to him yeah and like he was never ever ever disrespectful last night he didn't even say to
00:05:36her you know your braids at the front of your head are stupid like he didn't say anything I reckon
00:05:41the
00:05:41experts are gonna have a bit to say to Juliet yeah she's gonna get more heat than a sauna yeah
00:05:46but
00:05:47I think she's gonna have a lot of regret to be honest with you good I felt bad for Joel
00:05:52for him to
00:05:53be attacked that badly by his partner that would be tough I hope he's okay
00:06:02waking up alone the effects of Juliet's words are taking their toll on husband Joel yeah feeling a bit
00:06:09dazed and confused and perplexed and my heart is hurting the biggest impact coming from Juliet being
00:06:20adamant that Joel declared himself the star of married at first sight fine you're getting all
00:06:26of that from me no you're not getting a you know okay you don't understand I'm gonna give you you
00:06:30don't see the star in me you don't see the light in me yeah literally it's a metaphor he looked
00:06:39at me
00:06:39like deadpan me in the eyes and said well I'm the star Juliet has behaved appallingly I came into this
00:06:51experiment with an open heart and an open mind and it's very clear that we have hit rock bottom
00:07:01um um I'm not really feeling good about seeing Juliet at the moment the way Juliet is treating me
00:07:10right now it makes me feel less than and it makes me feel like I'm not valued so things have
00:07:15to change
00:07:15for sure going into this commitment ceremony I really hope that Juliet has been able to reflect
00:07:24on her behavior I'm hoping that Juliet can apologize to me yeah I don't deserve to be treated like this
00:07:35everyone's got their limit and I'm close to mine
00:07:45down the hall in a separate apartment Juliet remains convinced that Joel said he was the star
00:07:51of the show and questions his authenticity in the experiment well yeah I'm not apologizing for last
00:07:58night no way what I saw of Joel at the dinner party I was completely disgusted by you um he
00:08:10just
00:08:10completely gaslit me in front of the whole entire group and then tried to create a smear campaign to
00:08:16paint me out to be some crazy bitch and by the way you're gonna get crazy bitch when you're giving
00:08:21me
00:08:21crazy bitch idiot I think my anger was fair for what I was faced with yeah so tonight I'm hoping
00:08:35that experts see Joel for what he truly is he wants to be perceived as like the star of the
00:08:44DM show and he
00:08:46was not giving stardom he was giving loser he was giving meanie poop he was not behaving like a man
00:08:54he
00:08:55was behaving like a scared little boy he didn't have his teddy bear with him this morning the atmosphere
00:09:07is tense in Stephanie and Tyson's apartment with Stephanie feeling a growing distance
00:09:16between her and husband Tyson just like just a few little things that have like been bottling up I
00:09:23suppose I'm a bit upset by some of his comments some of his views on things like the whole submissive
00:09:31topic and this whole submissive role that Tyson says he wants which he brought up again last night at the
00:09:37dinner party like I look at it this way I'm the writer I'm the protector like I'm the one that's
00:09:42bringing in
00:09:43the money I'm the one that's protecting for my family and my wife should stay home you know clean
00:09:48look after my kids she can't multitask with three kids like she needs a focus on the kids who says
00:09:53that you can't like my husband my husband says I can't he's the most raging man I've ever met in
00:10:01my
00:10:02life but every time I have spoken up he's always like so listen Steph this is how it is Steph
00:10:09so I
00:10:11feel like I'm somewhat suppressing my emotions in order to not have arguments with Tyson how did you
00:10:16feel like we went to last night um I feel like we weren't pretty good um it's really good just
00:10:25to I
00:10:26know be amicable and go in as a united front um opposed to you know having a heated debate with
00:10:33you over something silly this week's dinner party was successful for Tyson and I because I didn't speak
00:10:47out if I had spoken up we would have argued you know Tyson doesn't like to be challenged this week
00:10:54I think um yeah it was a lot more mature environment do you what do you think about David mentioning
00:11:01the
00:11:01submissive thing yeah the whole submissive thing like I just don't think it was something that
00:11:08necessarily had to get you know brought up once again like we've spoken so much about that so yeah
00:11:16let's just get on with that not even I'm not even gonna bother talking about that anymore but um yeah
00:11:22look I think with Danny um he's actually quite a nice guy so I feel a bit at my wits
00:11:35end everything
00:11:36it's Tyson's way out of the highway I will raise a few issues with the experts this evening it seems
00:11:41that the only person he listens to is John not even Mel and Alessandra because they're women
00:11:50stay positive Steph and um yeah yeah going into this commitment ceremony I'm feeling good I think
00:12:00me and Steph are definitely at a more a better place I'm looking forward to speaking to most of
00:12:06be John um Alessandra's she's a sexologist so it's kind of irrelevant Mel Mel's Mel but I'm all ears
00:12:15for John yeah it's going to be interesting yeah
00:12:29the countdown is on to tonight's fourth commitment ceremony yeah which marks the first time that our
00:12:36three new couples can decide whether to stay you're looking sharp ah thank you you too thank
00:12:42you so much or leave the experiment I was going to try not ruin your lipstick yeah you're wearing it
00:12:55on your cheek now babes no badge of honor
00:13:14greetings gentlemen hello guys come on in looking fabulous all ears
00:13:33greetings gentlemen welcome ladies hey hello ladies hello
00:13:44how are you put that pillow behind you so
00:14:02welcome everybody to the fourth commitment ceremony the honeymoon is absolutely over now
00:14:12this week has been a big week for our original couples of course you've had the opportunity to
00:14:18meet with friends and family and our new couples who have just moved in of course just went through
00:14:24crash course week we'll be here tonight to go over everything that happened what didn't happen
00:14:30and what should be happening moving forward first up on the couch
00:14:42philip and stella
00:14:48hello hello how are you two going yeah we're going we're going great how did this week go with friends
00:14:56and
00:14:57family and family and everything i went great um but we've got a heart hitting question asked by one
00:15:05of philip's good mates straight away he's like oh guys i have an important question to ask did you
00:15:12already said i love you and i was like okay i need to get a drink i was like i
00:15:16need to get away
00:15:17how did you manage that we just said that we do communicate without
00:15:22words but we do both agree like the feelings are there for sure so what's the issue with the words
00:15:29if the feelings are there i have an opinion
00:15:34that man has to say first oh that's a puerto rican opinion too i get it
00:15:40yeah yeah yes yes yeah her belief system is that you know if it's going to come out of anyone
00:15:45first
00:15:46so i'm gonna have to say it so just for my own clarification just so that i understand this well
00:15:54you were mentioning that you guys feel things and that you know because you know and you're
00:16:00communicating that by morse code and looks but no words yeah yeah we're tiptoeing around like we ask
00:16:10some random questions like i guess do you think i love you and she's like yeah and i'm like
00:16:14oh yeah he's using it in a sentence yeah he started to use word love it's been dusted off
00:16:21i'm not allergic to say yeah yeah so we're just alluring i guess around it
00:16:26we're in a good place the friends and family when i was sitting there i was like looking around
00:16:31everyone's getting along and like a dream everyone's eating and stuff i'm like yeah but
00:16:34we this could totally work in the the real world you know it just just it feels right you know
00:16:40and
00:16:41we're still in the experiment but i'm like yeah this is this is for me you know what do you
00:16:45think
00:16:45yeah i agree it's beautiful yeah it's just easy so what is holding you back philip from telling her
00:16:53how you feel uh the feelings are super strong but i know that sometimes you can get caught up in
00:17:01the
00:17:01whole experiment and um i want it to be genuine like i personally like i've only said i've only
00:17:08said it to someone just living in the outside world like not in an experiment i understand that he is
00:17:12real this is real have you ever been an experiment i don't know all right i don't know in this
00:17:21environment in another environment if you're feeling then you're feeling and i think that needs to be
00:17:27celebrated now there's definitely yeah there's good vibes around it with us yeah it's i don't
00:17:32know yeah we'll see no yeah we'll get back to this that's right well i don't think we're going to
00:17:40be
00:17:40very surprised then no we should go to the decision stella you go ahead i adore him he's beautiful and
00:17:46um
00:17:46yeah up uh upwards and up uh whatever the saying is stay brilliant uh this week's been great and um
00:17:57just it all leads to this is gonna work you know so i'm i'm loving it i'm gonna be hanging
00:18:03around here
00:18:04loving it staying we're loving it too for you guys well done have a great week appreciate you cheers
00:18:09thanks thanks thank you thanks love all right let's get our next couple up joel and juliet hello you
00:18:29two come and grab a seat how was your week it was okay
00:18:42that's putting it mildly we've had a few a few nice moments
00:18:51apart from that it's been really bad
00:18:59okay tell us uh joel what has been the the difficult moments through the week
00:19:13i said to her juliet i'm not a fake person you just don't see the real me you don't see
00:19:19the light in me and you don't see the star in me
00:19:26and she's like aha see you think you're the star of the show and i'm like juliet it's a metaphor
00:19:32it's a
00:19:32figure of speech i'm what i mean by that is you don't see the true essence in me so she
00:19:39has twisted
00:19:40that whole thing no yeah juliet i remember the exact words i used so you've misinterpreted my words and
00:19:48used them against me to publicly slander me can i speak thanks you are painting me out to be a
00:19:55liar
00:19:56you said you are the star and you definitely don't see me as the wife you see me as your
00:20:02way onto this
00:20:03show because you again want to be the star of the show no no that's not true i never said
00:20:09that
00:20:12there's just constant reputation savaging like last night the way she talks down to me in public in front of
00:20:22everyone it shows that she has no respect for me last week we did the physical intimacy challenge that
00:20:31was set and i read out the first envelope and i read step one stare into each other's eyes for
00:20:38three
00:20:39minutes and then she screamed at me i'm not staring into your devil eyes that was very hurtful did you
00:20:45say that yeah it does feel like i'm getting the devil vibes from him sometimes
00:20:52sorry gonna call it how i feel are you not apologetic about that do you know i'm not
00:20:58apologetic at that moment you were giving me devil eyes
00:21:05all you've done is is is degrade me and demean me and disrespect me and put me down
00:21:09and i've never retaliated once not once in two weeks not once have i said i have said one mean
00:21:16thing to you not one not one insult wow honestly like feels like i'm always at fault for everything
00:21:25you haven't earned up to anything you should apologize to me
00:21:55i think i should have apologized after the dinner party last night yeah 100 percent
00:22:08so just to be clear you would hope for joel to apologize tonight to you
00:22:19i would hope that he takes accountability um
00:22:25i don't think joel thinks he has done anything wrong like i don't think he thinks he's hurt me in
00:22:31any way i think he thinks he's the the realest one here
00:22:37and the one that's the most evolved and there's nothing he's ever done wrong in his life
00:22:45but i feel like last night was just very uncalled for um felt like we were doing a um smear
00:22:53campaign
00:22:54against me at the end of the table with the guys and tried to make me look bad like that
00:23:01doesn't
00:23:01seem like a good husband to me what were those specific moments what were those things that he
00:23:07was saying or doing to you that really was designed to make you look bad
00:23:18i don't know i guess maybe when we were talking about like the star comment
00:23:40and he just kept gaslighting me and lying me saying that i was the one that was lying that i
00:23:46was one
00:23:47making up all of that stuff but we've already established that i use the word star to describe
00:23:52a metaphor you said you are the star um and you know you are the theatrical man it's like it
00:23:59just
00:23:59feels like i'm not talking to a human being joel you're shaking your head in disbelief what's going
00:24:05on for you i think at the core of it juliet does not accept me for who i am you
00:24:12think i'm fake i'm
00:24:13not a fake person juliet i've treated you this vibe feels very character right now no it's not character
00:24:18i'm not a character i've worked hard to become this man and i have a very strong sense of self
00:24:24and
00:24:24i'm happy i'm joyful i spread positivity wherever i go and i make people feel better about themselves
00:24:32you think you do that is what i do i spread love and i spread joy you haven't been doing
00:24:36that with me
00:24:37i've been trying but you push me away juliet you've been pushing me away and you've been putting me down
00:24:42you've been rejecting me and you've been very nasty are you actually listening to yourself
00:24:49the way you speak is is vicious and with venom you know the way you speak is condescending and
00:24:55belittling no no it's not yes it is no it's not juliet yes it is okay
00:25:03we've heard enough we know from what we saw last night and from what we see on the couch that
00:25:12it's
00:25:12time particularly for you juliet to listen this is something that you need to take on board
00:25:23i find it breathtaking that you juliet want an apology from joel for last night
00:25:36your behavior last night towards joel was ugly
00:25:46and if i'm being totally honest it was mean and cruel
00:25:57we're not sure if we've ever seen someone on the attack in such a way as you did to joel
00:26:03last night
00:26:05you called him a liar you said he wasn't a man
00:26:12you said he was embarrassing
00:26:16and you found him unattractive
00:26:25you said actually tonight that he launched a smear campaign against you last night
00:26:34and what we saw was you going around to different groups of people and destroying his character
00:26:43and at no point did he say anything derogatory about you and yet you sit here saying i want an
00:26:52apology
00:26:53from him
00:26:55do you see how unusual that request is yeah i don't think you understand the magnitude of it yeah
00:27:06no no i'm telling you this because you need to learn that regardless of whether there's a he said
00:27:13she said going on in a relationship regardless of whether you feel like there's an injustice
00:27:21you can never talk to your partner in that way because that is absolutely inappropriate and unacceptable
00:27:31to happen in a relationship yeah
00:27:38i'll tell you what my concern is and it is one among many what we witnessed last night was so
00:27:44incredibly vile
00:27:46if that is the way that you dare to speak to joel in public i shudder to think how you
00:27:51can speak to him
00:27:52behind closed doors it was shocking
00:27:56yeah i mean i definitely was unkind last night unkind is really really throwing a lot of sugar on top
00:28:06of
00:28:07it but yesterday it feels like i was fully crashing out yeah if you saw what i was saying the
00:28:14fact that
00:28:14you're justifying any of it and still still have not with profound shame and remorse turned to your
00:28:25partner and apologized is beyond me no i definitely think i was unkind for sure because i was angry
00:28:31i was hurt like you know when we're fighting i do say mean things in the heat of the moment
00:28:37but like
00:28:38that's that's normal like everyone does that all we are hearing right now are excuses you are not
00:28:46taking any of this feedback on board yeah um you're sitting there and you're saying yep yeah and you're
00:28:52saying okay but you're sitting there with your arms crossed absolutely closed off to anything that we are
00:29:00saying look i have not heard a word of acknowledgement and not an apology yeah absolutely not an apology
00:29:06okay i'll do that now if i can
00:29:23um
00:29:27look last night i obviously involved all of you guys
00:29:36i'm very sorry honestly like not one to be dragging every single person down
00:29:51i don't think you need to apologize to us you need to apologize to him julia i'm about to i'm
00:29:56about to
00:29:57so we'll get back to you
00:29:59um
00:30:11i don't know why but i've been holding people here and i'm about to let me shoot you
00:30:24Tôi laundry wisdom
00:30:25single person down I don't think you need to apologize to us you need to
00:30:35apologize to him Julia I'm about to I'm about to ah I thought I would be first
00:30:44um Joel I have always said definitely the wrong thing um and I don't feel that much hatred towards
00:31:07you I guess maybe I just felt watered down and tired and exhausted and it just came out in a
00:31:13disgusting way and I really apologize for hurting your feelings you're definitely a man
00:31:23you're not you're not you're shaking your head I don't accept your apology I think it's insincere
00:31:33okay I guess when I was feeling so hurt I completely didn't see how much hurt and
00:31:39pain I was giving to you you've been doing that from day one no I haven't yeah this is how
00:31:43it's
00:31:44been from day one behind the scenes no it has not Juliet what I'm saying to you feedback that you
00:31:51need to hear is you talk in a very toxic fight style you can't say sorry I apologize not really
00:32:02I'm confused why you think that I can give you a really good example just now you were apologizing
00:32:08and your apology part of the words you used where I don't even feel that much hatred towards you
00:32:16yeah no because there's been moments I don't even feel that much hatred there's definitely it's not my
00:32:23first language but I certainly understand what that means okay I have been feeling hatred are you
00:32:28even listening to what I'm saying over Alessandra show some respect you're proving our point sure I'm sorry
00:32:38guys let's go to the decision we're gonna go with you first Joel
00:32:56I have too much respect for myself
00:33:03uh Juliet what do you got for us
00:33:07um
00:33:14I'm really sorry but I did write state
00:33:25I'm really sorry I didn't obviously realize how
00:33:34awful and vile my actions have been um I've always liked the glimpses we've had I've seen why
00:33:44the experts connected us like we've we have the best time sometimes and so those were the bits where
00:33:53I'm like okay I want to work towards that more um I obviously didn't realize to the extent I was
00:34:00hurting you
00:34:02so I'm hoping that I can make it up to you
00:34:11I guess we have another week together and you set boundaries with me on the second night of the honeymoon
00:34:18so
00:34:20it's my time to set boundaries sure and I will not be disrespected like that again
00:34:27I will not tolerate it I will always treat you with kindness and respect and I expect the same
00:34:33treatment back of course so that's my boundaries yeah and it's a one strike policy there's no
00:34:42second chances so that's it now Joel has very clearly laid out his boundaries
00:34:50to you are you able to respect those this week definitely do you want to re-say them
00:35:03I mean it was the bare minimum I don't quite know how you've forgotten we're talking about respect
00:35:11basic respect yeah I mean we can I guess have a chat about it tomorrow
00:35:18my biggest worry is that everything that you've heard from us
00:35:24it's fallen on deaf ears definitely not well there's only one person that's going to be able
00:35:31to prove us wrong understood yeah you can go back to the group thanks

00:36:56Rachel and Steve-o
00:37:02hello you two
00:37:03get rid of that negative energy there's a bit of bit of drama on this lounge today shake it off
00:37:13being aЕ будто
00:37:13oh look at you two all covered up on the couch there
00:37:16Oh that's rosy we notice that
00:37:19oh
00:37:19oh
00:37:20Oh
00:37:22Previously we haven't seen any real physical affection between
00:37:25you two
00:37:26So, what's changed? What's going on?
00:37:30Well, we had a good family and friends day.
00:37:36My brother, you know, gave me some wise words.
00:37:39He was observing the body language between me and Rachel.
00:37:44And he goes, well, I'm watching Rachel.
00:37:46She's really leaning into you and giving these cuddles
00:37:48and you're just standing there like a stunned mullet.
00:37:51And he goes, do you realise how this could be making Rachel feel?
00:37:55Like, you're sort of subtly rejecting her.
00:38:00Wow.
00:38:01So, took that on board and sort of, you know,
00:38:04my brother's holding the mirror up to me going,
00:38:06look what you're doing.
00:38:09Go, brother. This is good.
00:38:11It's amazing.
00:38:12That small little bit of advice can really change things around.
00:38:15I feel like now I'm starting to change my ways
00:38:19and I'm showing a bit more, you know, affection towards Rachel.
00:38:22You know, we had a pretty good kiss
00:38:24and a bit of a chat and a cuddle on the bed last night,
00:38:27so it's definitely a step in the right direction.
00:38:29Oh, my God.
00:38:33That's a big step forward.
00:38:35That's a different approach from you.
00:38:39Yeah, it's a good feeling.
00:38:44Can I brag for a second?
00:38:46Just a love me, a subtle brag.
00:38:48My husband told me last night before we went to sleep,
00:38:51had a little kiss afterwards,
00:38:53I said, you look so handsome tonight,
00:38:55and he's like, and you look sexy.
00:38:58I love it.
00:39:01It's one thing for your man to call you beautiful, right?
00:39:04It's another to be called sexy.
00:39:07Oh, yeah.
00:39:08I was like, OK, OK.
00:39:11Love it.
00:39:16Gotta love that laugh, eh?
00:39:18And your smile, Steve-o.
00:39:21My smile?
00:39:21You're grinning from ear to ear.
00:39:24Yeah, awesome.
00:39:25It's really good to see.
00:39:27And on that note, Rachel Sparrow-Lim.
00:39:31I shock.
00:39:33I'm going to shock you all.
00:39:34I'm going to stay.
00:39:37Shock, shock.
00:39:39Love that.
00:39:43Do I need to make a speech before I say it,
00:39:45or should I just blurt it out?
00:39:46I wrote stay.
00:39:50There's some exclamation points.
00:39:52Take note.
00:39:54Three.
00:39:54Nice one.
00:39:59It really feels that you are connected this week.
00:40:04And now we want to see the romance grow.
00:40:07Yes.
00:40:08So go back to the couch,
00:40:09and next week, keep working on that.
00:40:12Have a great week.
00:40:15Nicely done, you two.
00:40:16Good stuff.
00:40:17Yes.
00:40:21Oh, my gosh.
00:40:22I've got to stop smiling.
00:40:24My jaw starts to hurt.
00:40:28Nice.
00:40:29Our next couple up on the couch,
00:40:32Chris and Sam.
00:40:33Woo-hoo.
00:40:39Hello, boys.
00:40:40Hello.
00:40:42Welcome.
00:40:43Hi, yeah.
00:40:44A couple of big smiles.
00:40:47Yeah.
00:40:47How are we?
00:40:48Well, we're very well,
00:40:50but we're more interested in how you two are doing.
00:40:52No, we're going well.
00:40:54The crash course was good.
00:40:56Great.
00:40:58Yeah, we really opened up,
00:41:00and we're vulnerable with each other
00:41:02and just threw ourselves in.
00:41:03I think that's why we shared our first Pash,
00:41:06thanks to you guys.
00:41:07We love a Pash.
00:41:09The three minutes was a bit crazy, guys.
00:41:12We opted for just the normal...
00:41:13I think it was like 25, 30 seconds.
00:41:15Yeah, it's like...
00:41:15Yeah, keep practising.
00:41:17Yeah, keep practising.
00:41:19I'm really enjoying the playfulness
00:41:22that's developing between the two of you.
00:41:24It's a sign that, you know,
00:41:26you're starting to drop the walls
00:41:27and starting to build some trust.
00:41:29Every day, the tasks that you guys gave us
00:41:31brought us so much closer together,
00:41:33which is probably something I wouldn't do in the real world.
00:41:36So, thank you, and I need that.
00:41:39And we do have a lot of fun together.
00:41:41Yeah.
00:41:42And as you know,
00:41:43we're always watching the dinner parties.
00:41:46And we saw, Chris,
00:41:48that you shared some pretty big news.
00:41:51I did, yeah.
00:41:53So, obviously, I shared the news
00:41:54that I've got children coming.
00:41:57The group received it so well,
00:41:59and they were so supportive.
00:42:00So, I just want to say thank you guys so much.
00:42:02It was really amazing to have that support.
00:42:05Congratulations.
00:42:10Yeah, they just took it so well,
00:42:11which was really great.
00:42:13And Sam took it great as well.
00:42:15Some people may see that as a red flag
00:42:17or, you know, a bit of an inconvenience.
00:42:19I don't know.
00:42:20So, the fact that Sam was really supportive
00:42:21of my decision to do that
00:42:24meant the world to me.
00:42:25I just feel so proud of him.
00:42:28You know, he's wanted something in his life,
00:42:31and he's made it happen,
00:42:32which is really cool.
00:42:33I'm, like, always been open to kids,
00:42:35and kids are saying that I possibly want in the future.
00:42:37And so, at the end of this experiment,
00:42:39if we are together,
00:42:40which I hope we are,
00:42:41then we can look at how that's going to look.
00:42:43I love the maturity that the two of you are using
00:42:46in your approach here.
00:42:49You know, you've set yourselves up
00:42:50for a positive experience,
00:42:52regardless of what the outcome is.
00:42:54Yeah.
00:42:57Well, look, I think we will go to the decision.
00:43:00Yeah.
00:43:00We'll go with you first, Sam.
00:43:02I wrote...
00:43:06..stay.
00:43:06And a big smile.
00:43:08Love it.
00:43:09And Chris.
00:43:10Well, funny that, because...
00:43:13I also wrote...
00:43:14Oh, with a smiley face.
00:43:15With a smiley face.
00:43:16What the hell?
00:43:17Matchy, matchy.
00:43:21Very cute.
00:43:24I think that you guys really have found your groove
00:43:27and what is actually working for you,
00:43:29so I will encourage you to keep doing some more of that.
00:43:32And I would highly, highly, highly stress
00:43:34how important it is
00:43:35that you continue having fun with one another.
00:43:38Yeah.
00:43:38Have a great week.
00:43:41Thank you, guys, so much.
00:43:42Enjoy.
00:43:44Thank you for everything.
00:43:49That's right.
00:43:50Good to you.
00:43:51Our next couple up on the couch...
00:43:56Gia and Scott.
00:43:57Yes.
00:44:01Welcome to the couch.
00:44:03How have you guys been this week?
00:44:05We had our first little run-in.
00:44:07We did.
00:44:08We're all good.
00:44:09We survive.
00:44:09We're good.
00:44:11Yeah.
00:44:11What happened?
00:44:13So we had family and friends.
00:44:16Overall, it was good.
00:44:18There was one hiccup on the way.
00:44:20It was a bit of a smart comment my friend made
00:44:22in regards to comparing Gia to my ex.
00:44:26What was the comment?
00:44:28He kind of said, like,
00:44:30well, how do you compare to his ex?
00:44:32How are you different to his ex?
00:44:34And I'm like, whoa.
00:44:38Knowing you have had struggles
00:44:40with feeling insecure at times in your past,
00:44:44I'm wondering what that brought up for you, Gia.
00:44:48Um, it just made me feel like
00:44:50I wasn't good enough, to be honest.
00:44:53How?
00:44:54Ugh.
00:44:55I don't know.
00:44:56Like...
00:44:58It just hurt because...
00:45:01Um, I've had this happen before
00:45:03with my ex-partner where it's like...
00:45:06A certain type of looking girl
00:45:08was, like, always brought up
00:45:09and, like, I'd be finding out
00:45:10he'd been looking at this and looking at that
00:45:11and it's like, I just felt like, oh, my God.
00:45:14Am I in the same situation again
00:45:16where I'm being compared?
00:45:18Like, it just made me feel, like,
00:45:20honestly, like I'm less than.
00:45:23So, I had all these things in my mind
00:45:25and then the next step was very upsetting.
00:45:29I'm sitting in the car,
00:45:31there was a song on that, like, we didn't like
00:45:33and I was like, oh, he's like, I'll change my...
00:45:35change the song.
00:45:36I do that.
00:45:37You know how your phone comes up
00:45:38with a camera roll memory?
00:45:40Came up with his ex-partner, like, in lingerie.
00:45:44And I'm like, oh, my God, what's going on?
00:45:47Why does he have them?
00:45:48Like, I'm being compared.
00:45:50So I said, if you want to be with me
00:45:52and you want this relationship to work,
00:45:54I need you to delete all those photos.
00:45:55And he said no.
00:46:01After what happened with the friends,
00:46:02I thought, oh, my God, I'm not hurt at all.
00:46:05I'm not seen.
00:46:06I'm not important.
00:46:07I just felt...
00:46:09gross.
00:46:12There's no excuse.
00:46:13I'll take full accountability for this.
00:46:16At the time, I was lazy.
00:46:18I was stubborn.
00:46:18I have 71,000 photos on my phone.
00:46:20I don't go digging for that stuff.
00:46:23But I wasn't putting myself in her shoes.
00:46:25And I didn't think through it enough.
00:46:28So once she was just explaining her full emotions,
00:46:30it obviously made me realise
00:46:33these photos need to go.
00:46:36I raised every single one of them,
00:46:37and then we hugged it, we kissed,
00:46:39and it was the best thing that we felt.
00:46:41We both moved on from it straight away.
00:46:45And I think the biggest lesson...
00:46:47Well, just on that.
00:46:49I don't know if you have moved on.
00:47:05We both moved on from it straight away.
00:47:09And I think the biggest lesson...
00:47:11Well, just on that.
00:47:13I don't know if you have moved on.
00:47:18Cos tonight, what I'm watching with you two
00:47:20is a different energy.
00:47:22Previously, you'd been very much a team,
00:47:25and you've been very present on the couch,
00:47:27whereas tonight, particularly you, Gia,
00:47:29you seem flat,
00:47:31as though you've got a lot on your mind.
00:47:44I think Scott's kind of grazing over it.
00:47:51Like, for me, it was very hard.
00:47:55He came to the realisation too late for me, you know?
00:47:59I've let you into my whole world, my whole life,
00:48:02and, like, you can't just delete some photos.
00:48:05I just...
00:48:06For me, it was, like, I felt like shit.
00:48:10And I just started rethinking everything.
00:48:14I was prepared to leave the whole experiment.
00:48:22Scott, did you know that she was so rattled by this
00:48:26that she was thinking about leaving the experiment?
00:48:31I'll be honest.
00:48:32I thought everything was right.
00:48:34Like, I didn't know.
00:48:37That's why we're going there.
00:48:38Yeah.
00:48:38Because you need to see this, and you need to hear this.
00:48:42Yeah.
00:48:43I personally didn't know that,
00:48:44because I feel like when we talk through things,
00:48:46I feel like we've talked through enough
00:48:48of what the problem is.
00:48:50We hug, we kiss it out, we move on with the date,
00:48:52and we're actually smiling and we're happy.
00:48:53So I didn't know Gia felt this hurt.
00:48:56I personally didn't.
00:48:58Or else I would cater and do anything I can
00:48:59to bring the smile on her face.
00:49:02The thing with Scott is, like,
00:49:03we'll have this disagreement,
00:49:04and, like, I'll voice how it's made me feel,
00:49:07and we'll resolve it.
00:49:09But there's residual feelings, like,
00:49:10the next day where I still might feel
00:49:11like I need just a check-in,
00:49:13because I feel like, yes, we apologise,
00:49:16and we moved on, but, like,
00:49:17I can't just forget how I felt,
00:49:20because it was quite deep for me.
00:49:21And I'll vouch for that.
00:49:22I haven't been the type that checks in the next day
00:49:24on an argument or something that's happened before,
00:49:26which I now know, like,
00:49:28it's something I need to work on.
00:49:31I'm all in for this,
00:49:32and I want to continue this and grow together.
00:49:35I'm glad this has happened.
00:49:37Like, we need this,
00:49:38because we've understood each other more now.
00:49:40Like, I've learnt something tonight.
00:49:42So, mark my word,
00:49:43if something happens like this again,
00:49:44I'll be checking in the next day
00:49:45and making sure you're OK.
00:49:48I want you to feel as comfortable as possible.
00:49:50Like, that's my goal.
00:49:51If you're happy, I'm happier.
00:49:54Gia, what's your feelings towards Scott right now?
00:49:59Um, yeah, I really like Scott.
00:50:02Like, I want to continue being with Scott.
00:50:05This wasn't enough for me
00:50:06to throw the whole relationship in the bin.
00:50:08In fact, before the dinner party,
00:50:10I introduced him to my daughter.
00:50:11Wow.
00:50:12That's huge.
00:50:13Seeing the mother she is
00:50:15draws me more towards her,
00:50:16because she's such a good, bloody mum.
00:50:20Her daughter is so freaking beautiful.
00:50:22She comes up and hugs me,
00:50:23says please and thank you.
00:50:25The mannerism I see
00:50:26is from the upbringing
00:50:27of what Gia's given her.
00:50:29I just, I really like her,
00:50:31and I didn't think I could walk in.
00:50:33I didn't know I was going to come in this experiment
00:50:35when I was going to have a kid,
00:50:36and I fully accept it.
00:50:37Like, um, it makes me a bit upset.
00:50:38No, I want to cry,
00:50:40because I love that.
00:50:41No, because you're a good mum.
00:50:45Gia, how do you see Scott
00:50:47fitting in with you and your daughter
00:50:49and your world after the experiment?
00:50:52Um,
00:50:55I see it working.
00:50:58I've never introduced my daughter
00:51:00to a guy before ever,
00:51:02and I've checked in with my daughter
00:51:03a million times.
00:51:04I was like, do you like him?
00:51:05Um, and she's like,
00:51:06I love Scott Dogg, mum.
00:51:08He's so fun.
00:51:08Scott Dogg.
00:51:09She calls him Scott Dogg.
00:51:11So, yeah, he did fit in well.
00:51:13All my friends and family love him, so.
00:51:15Wow.
00:51:15That is fantastic to hear.
00:51:19You've been through a lot this week,
00:51:22but we're going to need to go to a decision
00:51:23to find out whether you want to stay on or not.
00:51:27Go with you first, Scott.
00:51:30Well, yeah, it was a very tough week,
00:51:32but we always resolve our issues,
00:51:34and I like to draw little things
00:51:37that give memory and feedback from the past week,
00:51:39so I put stay with me, Gia, and the daughter.
00:51:41Oh, that's so cute.
00:51:43Oh, that's beautiful.
00:51:44That's so cute.
00:51:46Oh, my God.
00:51:47What about you, Gia?
00:51:48What have you got for it?
00:51:49Stay with him.
00:51:51Yeah, like, we had a big hiccup,
00:51:53but I think he gets a better understanding
00:51:55of me through this,
00:51:56and it's forcing us to have a deeper connection
00:51:59that I wanted.
00:51:59I didn't want easy surface level.
00:52:01I really like Scott, and I'm glad we got through this.
00:52:04So, with that, I'm going to stay.
00:52:09Thank you, Scott.
00:52:11It's lovely.
00:52:13That's why we have these commitment ceremonies,
00:52:15to open up your relationship
00:52:17and to essentially get you looking at things,
00:52:20sometimes for the first time.
00:52:22So, that's a very important moment for you tonight.
00:52:24Well done.
00:52:25You can go back to the group.
00:52:27Thank you so much.
00:52:28Appreciate it.
00:52:28Good work.
00:52:30Woo!
00:52:32Oh, goodness.
00:52:34Little stick figures.
00:52:35That's cute.
00:52:35They're so cute.
00:52:37I don't know how to actually draw,
00:52:38so stick figures as it is.
00:52:39Hey, that's pretty cute, but...
00:52:41Still to come...
00:52:42David ticks so many boxes,
00:52:44but there's some things that he can't give me.
00:52:48Alyssa's jaw-dropping confession...
00:52:50I'm missing that stimulation to make me happy.
00:52:55And later...
00:52:57I'm done with this bickering.
00:52:58I'm done with this bullshit.
00:52:59Tyson is at breaking point.
00:53:02I'm done with this experiment.
00:53:15Next up on the couch...
00:53:24Alyssa and David.
00:53:29Hello.
00:53:30Hello.
00:53:31Hello.
00:53:32How are you?
00:53:32Oh, good evening.
00:53:33Well, you two are looking rather happy and relaxed.
00:53:36Yeah.
00:53:36Yeah.
00:53:38David and I are getting stronger and stronger.
00:53:40He ticks so many boxes in my life.
00:53:47He's the calm.
00:53:48He is my home.
00:53:51But there's some things that he can't give me.
00:53:56I function at a high frequency.
00:53:59And sometimes I feel like I'm missing that stimulation,
00:54:03that high frequency that I would normally get from my relationships
00:54:07to make me happy.
00:54:12I feel like Alyssa, she's used to past relationships where the guys are louder,
00:54:17probably more chaotic, a lot of noise.
00:54:20I'm calm, not reactive.
00:54:21Like, I'm not going to, like, cause drama.
00:54:24And I feel like deep down you might be sort of, like, uneasy
00:54:28because it's not something that's natural to you.
00:54:32Maybe David's onto something there.
00:54:34When you were coming into this experiment,
00:54:36you talked about past relationships and all the arguments that happened.
00:54:40Yeah, there were a lot.
00:54:41And maybe because you're now in a relationship that is healthier,
00:54:45that's not full of arguments,
00:54:47I just wonder if the thing that's missing is actually the toxicity
00:54:50that comes with drama in a relationship.
00:54:52Yeah, maybe I'm just not used to it.
00:54:53Yeah.
00:54:54I wonder if there's something about sitting in that discomfort
00:54:59because there's something about that calm and that peace
00:55:02that's actually really probably quite good for you.
00:55:07Okay, I'm going to work on it.
00:55:09We're going to sit in it.
00:55:10Brilliant.
00:55:12All right, well, let's go to the decision.
00:55:13Let's kick off with you, Alyssa.
00:55:15I'm giving this thing a real crack.
00:55:18I'm staying for the long haul.
00:55:20David.
00:55:21I'm going to stay.
00:55:22Love it.
00:55:23Yeah.
00:55:25Well done, you two.
00:55:27Sit in the uncertainty.
00:55:28We're sitting in it for another week.
00:55:30Well done, you two.
00:55:31Enjoy.
00:55:35Our next couple on the couch.
00:55:41Bec and Danny.
00:55:44Let's do it.
00:55:46How are we?
00:55:46Hello, you two.
00:55:48Hello.
00:55:50Well, I've got to say, I've been enjoying glancing over
00:55:53and looking at the two of you tonight,
00:55:55looking very cuddly, very relaxed together
00:55:58and very supportive of each other.
00:56:00It's like a whole different view.
00:56:03Yeah.
00:56:04The realities I got from you guys
00:56:07at the last commitment ceremony
00:56:08showed me that I was in the wrong very, very much.
00:56:14You don't need to be angry.
00:56:15You don't need to be vicious.
00:56:17That behaviour's just not acceptable.
00:56:20Yeah.
00:56:21You've learnt some big lessons.
00:56:22I have.
00:56:23And then family and friends came along.
00:56:27We both agreed that in order to get the most out of this,
00:56:30we had to be very, very honest.
00:56:33So I sort of expressed to Dad
00:56:36some of the adversities that we'd faced
00:56:38and my father instantly turned to Danny,
00:56:40looked him in the eye and said,
00:56:41Did you say Gia was your type?
00:56:43And Danny just looked at him and was just like,
00:56:45No.
00:56:48So I'm moving forward.
00:56:53So I really do want to commend you both
00:56:55for just really putting in the time,
00:57:00the focus and the work
00:57:02and having the conversations you needed to have.
00:57:06So just kind of highlighting
00:57:08the huge difference it makes
00:57:11when you actually really do go deep in conversation.
00:57:15Yeah.
00:57:16Maybe in past relationships,
00:57:18that's where I'll be doing the Usain Bolt
00:57:21and sprinting off.
00:57:23But, yeah,
00:57:24bit down on the gum shield
00:57:25and sort of fought our way through it, didn't we?
00:57:28And, yeah, now we're in a really good spot.
00:57:32I feel the most stable I've felt
00:57:34in this whole experiment right now.
00:57:37For sure.
00:57:39Amazing, amazing.
00:57:40Let's go to the decision.
00:57:42Let's start with you, Danny.
00:57:44Yeah, we're in a really good spot.
00:57:47So I'll see you once, though.
00:57:50Strong statement.
00:57:52Um, yeah,
00:57:54I don't think I felt more secure
00:57:55in this relationship
00:57:56out of the whole time in this experiment.
00:57:59So, of course,
00:58:01I wrote stay,
00:58:02and then I wrote
00:58:03I love him all.
00:58:04My love being great.
00:58:06Beautiful.
00:58:07Thanks, guys.
00:58:09I think right now
00:58:11you guys are listening to one another,
00:58:14and I really think
00:58:15that you need to continue focusing on that.
00:58:18Have a great week.
00:58:19Thank you, guys.
00:58:20Thanks, guys.
00:58:20Thanks to you.
00:58:28All right, let's get our next couple up.
00:58:33Tyson and Stephanie.
00:58:35Here we go.
00:58:40Hello.
00:58:41Alexandra, it's looking fabulous.
00:58:45Well, where do we begin?
00:58:47You start.
00:58:49What about the crash course?
00:58:50How was that this week for you?
00:58:52It was interesting.
00:58:54Um, we did the tasks.
00:58:56Um, yeah.
00:58:59And what about you, Tyson?
00:59:00How was this week for you?
00:59:02I think, for me,
00:59:03it was actually quite good, John.
00:59:05Um, I, uh,
00:59:06took your advice, John.
00:59:07So, you said to get curious about Steph,
00:59:10and I did get curious.
00:59:11I, uh,
00:59:12I took her to lunch,
00:59:13I took her to dinner,
00:59:15got her some flowers.
00:59:15I was feeling a bit cheeky
00:59:17and saw a set of flowers there,
00:59:18bought them,
00:59:19gave them to her.
00:59:19I think she appreciated that.
00:59:20Hmm.
00:59:22And he paid for dinner,
00:59:23and he paid for lunch.
00:59:25I'm the gift that keeps on giving.
00:59:32Steph,
00:59:33you're sitting on the couch right now
00:59:35and you're pretty distant.
00:59:39So, tell us
00:59:40what's going on for you, Steph.
00:59:43Um,
00:59:45yeah, look,
00:59:46like, I do have a few things on my mind.
00:59:48Like, I won't,
00:59:48I won't lie.
00:59:51But,
00:59:51I'm very conscious of the progress
00:59:53that we have made,
00:59:54and I'm very conscious
00:59:55that I don't want to unravel all of that.
01:00:00And I understand that.
01:00:01But at the same time,
01:00:02what that does then
01:00:03is it doesn't allow us to understand
01:00:05what's on your mind,
01:00:06what's getting in between
01:00:07for the two of you.
01:00:09Because you never know
01:00:09when you discuss it,
01:00:10open it up,
01:00:11you may be able to resolve it.
01:00:16Um,
01:00:18quite often when I
01:00:19attempt to have
01:00:20a constructive conversation,
01:00:22it,
01:00:23I feel like it falls on deaf ears.
01:00:25I feel like we go around in circles.
01:00:27We never come to an agreement.
01:00:28It's always he said,
01:00:29she said.
01:00:30So I feel like I've started
01:00:32to kind of
01:00:35suppress
01:00:36the things that I normally would say
01:00:39because I can't be bothered
01:00:40to have an argument.
01:00:41Hmm.
01:00:43It's those difficult conversations
01:00:45that take so much courage
01:00:46and are so hard to have
01:00:47that once they're had,
01:00:49they really bring you closer together.
01:00:51Indeed.
01:00:52So,
01:00:52let's just talk about this
01:00:54and navigate it together
01:00:55as a team.
01:00:56Tell us,
01:00:57what are the key issues
01:00:58that you want to bring up?
01:01:03I just want Tyson to be a bit more aware
01:01:05of, like,
01:01:06the things that he says
01:01:07and the impact that the words have.
01:01:12two of my closest friends
01:01:15are gay.
01:01:17We've got Chris and Sam
01:01:18in the experiment.
01:01:20And something that came
01:01:21from Tyson's
01:01:23video interview
01:01:25was,
01:01:27um,
01:01:28I'm happy for you guys,
01:01:30be whoever you want to be,
01:01:30but, you know,
01:01:31you just keep it behind closed doors.
01:01:35Oh, brother.
01:01:52Something that came
01:01:53from Tyson's
01:01:55video interview
01:01:57was,
01:01:58um,
01:01:59I'm happy for you guys,
01:02:01be whoever you want to be,
01:02:02but, you know,
01:02:02you just keep it behind closed doors.
01:02:06Oh, brother.
01:02:13First of all,
01:02:14I'm not against gay people.
01:02:16I just feel like
01:02:17that whole topic
01:02:17can really be pushed on us.
01:02:22Um,
01:02:23and, I don't know,
01:02:23just for me,
01:02:24I come from a traditional family
01:02:25and it's just,
01:02:26I'm not really comfortable
01:02:28with, like,
01:02:29with it.
01:02:29I'm just being brutally honest.
01:02:32Sorry, man,
01:02:33having awareness
01:02:33is not pushing anything on you.
01:02:35Like, just being here,
01:02:36like...
01:02:37But I'm aware, though.
01:02:40We're just,
01:02:40we're just here.
01:02:43It is hurtful
01:02:43to our community
01:02:44to hear that.
01:02:45Um,
01:02:46it's like us
01:02:46telling straight people
01:02:47to go,
01:02:47to do it behind closed doors.
01:02:49It's not right.
01:02:51I don't think
01:02:52you have much empathy
01:02:53and you're not really
01:02:54putting yourselves
01:02:55in anyone else's shoes.
01:02:56You can't say stuff like,
01:02:58do it behind closed doors.
01:02:59Like, it just doesn't make me
01:03:00feel like a person.
01:03:02Well, no,
01:03:02not that.
01:03:03I don't know.
01:03:03It's just,
01:03:04maybe it came out wrong.
01:03:06I don't mean it to.
01:03:10The comment you made
01:03:11suppresses our people
01:03:12and therefore,
01:03:13we feel like
01:03:14we need to stand up
01:03:15and create awareness
01:03:15and until that stops happening,
01:03:17there will be pride
01:03:18and all these things
01:03:19will still happen
01:03:20because we're still
01:03:21getting suppressed
01:03:21all the time
01:03:22and you're an example
01:03:23of that it still exists
01:03:24out there.
01:03:29I don't mean to come here
01:03:30and offend people
01:03:32but, you know,
01:03:32I am very black and white
01:03:33with my approach
01:03:34to communication.
01:03:37Have you always been
01:03:38in this way
01:03:38where you essentially
01:03:40don't have a filter
01:03:41and you just,
01:03:42you know,
01:03:43say exactly
01:03:43what comes to your mind?
01:03:48So there is a filter there,
01:03:49John,
01:03:50but I just,
01:03:51I've got to be honest
01:03:52as well
01:03:53with what I believe in.
01:03:54And that's fine
01:03:55but I just want Tyson
01:03:57to be a bit more aware
01:03:58of like words have impact.
01:04:01Like, again,
01:04:02like the submissive thing
01:04:03still rings in my mind.
01:04:05Oh my God.
01:04:06Haven't said that
01:04:06in ages
01:04:08but anyway.
01:04:08Well,
01:04:09a dinner party last night
01:04:10but okay,
01:04:11let's keep going forward.
01:04:14Um,
01:04:15you know,
01:04:15I stand by
01:04:16that that is what Tyson wants.
01:04:18He wants a wife
01:04:19to sit down,
01:04:20look pretty,
01:04:21speak when spoken to,
01:04:23don't have an opinion
01:04:24unless you're asked.
01:04:27Oh, true.
01:04:28True.
01:04:29I completely disagree.
01:04:30Um,
01:04:30he's only addressed you tonight,
01:04:32John,
01:04:32have you noticed that?
01:04:35I actually said tonight,
01:04:36Alexandra is looking beautiful
01:04:37so what,
01:04:38where I don't understand.
01:04:40Last week he said,
01:04:42oh,
01:04:42that Johnny,
01:04:42he's a great bloke,
01:04:43isn't he?
01:04:43He's a great bloke.
01:04:45And I said,
01:04:45oh,
01:04:45what about
01:04:46Mel and Alessandra?
01:04:48Oh yeah,
01:04:49but you know,
01:04:50John,
01:04:50la la la.
01:04:51So,
01:04:51you very easily
01:04:52disrespect women,
01:04:53Tyson,
01:04:54you have no regard
01:04:55for my feelings.
01:04:55and sorry,
01:04:56I'm not going to take that shit
01:04:57because I do not
01:04:57disrespect women at all.
01:04:59I've got a lot of respect
01:05:00for women,
01:05:01but right now,
01:05:02but look how you fly off
01:05:03the handle so easily.
01:05:04Because it's disgusting.
01:05:05She's putting words in my mouth
01:05:06saying I disrespect women
01:05:07just because I said
01:05:08John's a good guy.
01:05:08That's how I feel treated.
01:05:10I did not say anything bad
01:05:10about you guys at all
01:05:11and I actually said
01:05:12you look beautiful tonight.
01:05:14Like,
01:05:15she's making out
01:05:16I hate women
01:05:16and that's absolutely
01:05:17such a disgusting thing to say.
01:05:19I'm very close with my sister
01:05:20and my mum.
01:05:21They're two people
01:05:21that mean the world to me.
01:05:23But I just feel like
01:05:24she's putting words in my mouth.
01:05:26She's trying to make me look
01:05:26like this bad person
01:05:27when I'm actually not.
01:05:29I don't hate gay people.
01:05:31She's making out
01:05:31I hate gay people.
01:05:32No, I'm not.
01:05:34But I don't hate gay people.
01:05:35You did not say that.
01:05:36I do like gay people.
01:05:37I've got gay friends.
01:05:38I do.
01:05:39I like women as well.
01:05:41The thing is,
01:05:42is I'm not a bad guy
01:05:43and she's portraying me
01:05:44as a bad guy.
01:05:45No.
01:05:46I try to have
01:05:47a constructive conversation
01:05:48with you
01:05:48and it always ends up this way.
01:05:50When I just want to have
01:05:51like a chill conversation
01:05:53and share my point of view.
01:05:55But that's never okay with you.
01:05:57I disagree.
01:05:59I feel like
01:05:59any time things get hard
01:06:01Tyson's just like
01:06:03alright, well that's me.
01:06:04I'm out of here.
01:06:06I feel like it's
01:06:07Tyson's way or the highway.
01:06:10Honestly,
01:06:10I do not see a future here
01:06:12with this person at all
01:06:14and quite frankly
01:06:15after tonight
01:06:16I'm going back
01:06:16to the Gold Coast
01:06:18because I'm done with this.
01:06:20I'm done with this bickering.
01:06:21I'm done with this bullshit.
01:06:23I'm done with this experiment.
01:06:35I'm done with this experiment.
01:06:36I feel like it's
01:06:37Tyson's way or the highway.
01:06:39Honestly,
01:06:39I do not see a future here
01:06:41with this person at all
01:06:42and quite frankly
01:06:44after tonight
01:06:44I'm going back
01:06:45to the Gold Coast
01:06:46because I'm done with this.
01:06:48I'm done with this bickering.
01:06:50I'm done with this bullshit.
01:06:52I'm done with this experiment.
01:06:59There's nothing here
01:07:00between Steph and I.
01:07:01She's not a traditional
01:07:02wife in my eyes.
01:07:04She's a go-getter
01:07:05which is great
01:07:06but
01:07:08I don't like
01:07:09her attitude towards me.
01:07:10She's always acting snobby
01:07:13and
01:07:13I just don't see
01:07:14a future there, John.
01:07:16I really don't.
01:07:20This whole conversation
01:07:21just blew out of proportion
01:07:22which it shouldn't have
01:07:23but it did
01:07:24and
01:07:25there's no fixing this, John,
01:07:27for me.
01:07:30I don't know how
01:07:31it blew out of proportion though
01:07:32because all you were doing
01:07:34you know
01:07:35was bringing up
01:07:36some of your worries
01:07:37about a relationship.
01:07:39Yeah.
01:07:39Essentially over language
01:07:41and that's it.
01:07:42That's normal
01:07:44couple
01:07:44dynamics.
01:07:46This is not about
01:07:47personality attacks
01:07:48it's just talking about
01:07:50problem patterns
01:07:52and what we've identified
01:07:54tonight
01:07:54and previously
01:07:55is that
01:07:56sometimes
01:07:57the language that you use
01:07:58can be polarising
01:08:00it can hurt
01:08:02but it is certainly
01:08:04something that you can work with.
01:08:05No.
01:08:05I do agree
01:08:06in that regard.
01:08:08So
01:08:08what's happened tonight
01:08:09that's changed your mind?
01:08:11I can tell you
01:08:12look
01:08:14I open my mouth.
01:08:15Oh come on.
01:08:18We bicker
01:08:18when I speak up
01:08:20and share my opinion
01:08:21and you don't like it.
01:08:22So am I supposed to be quiet?
01:08:24Am I supposed to be quiet?
01:08:27I'm seriously
01:08:28just going to bounce
01:08:29because
01:08:29I just don't want to beat you guys.
01:08:31I'm finished
01:08:32okay?
