00:00:00I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:00:0418 brave singles married a complete stranger
00:00:07as part of Australia's biggest social experiment.
00:00:13The first dinner party
00:00:15I'm pretty happy. Me too. Exposed early tensions.
00:00:20What's your problem? Seems like we got on better than you and your man.
00:00:23He was looking me up and down.
00:00:27Luke was left feeling rejected.
00:00:30I can see how she talks to other people in the room.
00:00:32But it's completely different how she talks to me.
00:00:34And a brand new phase began.
00:00:37When I was bigger, I just got no attention.
00:00:39Hearing things like I starved myself, pained my heart.
00:00:44Revelations week helped peel back the emotional layers of our participants.
00:00:48They're going out the back for me. I loved it.
00:00:51Dangle your head.
00:00:52But left others confused.
00:00:55Ah.
00:00:56And in shock by some uncomfortable truths.
00:00:59What turned you off?
00:01:01Fake team, needy and fat people.
00:01:03Led Brooke to go on the attack.
00:01:06Surely he gets on your nerves at times.
00:01:08No.
00:01:09I don't believe you.
00:01:10I don't believe you.
00:01:11I definitely saw a different side of Brooke.
00:01:14He felt very cold.
00:01:16Tonight.
00:01:19Who will stay and who will leave?
00:01:23At the very first commitment ceremony of the experiment.
00:01:27How's it going?
00:01:29Very happy.
00:01:30Nothing but progress.
00:01:31Steve's positive spin leaves everyone confused.
00:01:35Nothing wrong.
00:01:36Connection.
00:01:37Everything.
00:01:37But the experts aren't buying it.
00:01:40What's going on for you Rebecca?
00:01:43Mel has delivered some tough love.
00:01:46You need a wake up call.
00:01:48Hi.
00:01:50I really like Steven.
00:01:52You are so special.
00:01:53Romantic connections will be celebrated.
00:01:56Things are fantastic.
00:01:58Yeah we're going great.
00:01:59I'm fully into her like I'm kissing her all the time.
00:02:02You think he could be a soulmate for you?
00:02:04If we had him the way we had him.
00:02:06Yes.
00:02:07But I feel like not everyone likes your happiness.
00:02:13Brooke lashes out.
00:02:14You can't blame me for that.
00:02:16Get me out of here.
00:02:17No one can.
00:02:18We'll just bring it back down.
00:02:19Derailing the entire commitment ceremony.
00:02:24She's a fool.
00:02:26End of.
00:02:27We want to see that girl again.
00:02:36It's the night after an explosive brand new Revelations Week task.
00:02:42Oh it was intense.
00:02:43It was intense.
00:02:45Red flag.
00:02:46Green flag.
00:02:47A lot going on.
00:02:48Oh yeah?
00:02:48Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:02:49It's all popping up.
00:02:50It was pretty rowdy.
00:02:50Oh was it?
00:02:51Yeah.
00:02:52And the actions from a particular bride are looming large for many.
00:02:56Brooke surprised me today.
00:02:59She said something quite pointy or direct was it?
00:03:04Red flags.
00:03:05Are there any?
00:03:06Well that's the thing.
00:03:08There has to be.
00:03:09I'm sorry.
00:03:10I'm pulling bullshit.
00:03:12Brooke kept having her two cents.
00:03:15Wow, Brooke.
00:03:16Wow.
00:03:17Yeah, it was a lot.
00:03:18And our communication is second to none.
00:03:21So we...
00:03:22So it's all rainbows and butterflies and new shit that's rainbows.
00:03:26She was calling everyone out.
00:03:27She was, yeah.
00:03:28It was full on.
00:03:29Really?
00:03:31Alyssa is the expert.
00:03:36She went a bit off, yeah.
00:03:37Not at you though.
00:03:38No, she's...
00:03:39I love her.
00:03:40That's good.
00:03:42But it was Steve's shocking revelations to the boys that's left many of our grooms reeling.
00:03:48You know who stood out?
00:03:49Steve and...
00:03:50Steve and Rebecca.
00:03:52Oh shit, what did you hear?
00:03:52You know when he goes, da da da da da, red flag.
00:03:54Like he didn't even get a green flag at all.
00:03:56It was just red flags.
00:03:59Now red flags, there's multiple.
00:04:02Rebecca consistently needs to be talking all the time.
00:04:06I don't understand some of her humour.
00:04:08Her emotions are very high and very low.
00:04:11On top of that, Rebecca's not my usual type.
00:04:15I think her expectations were getting a little bit high with intimacy.
00:04:19But we had an amazing friendship.
00:04:21It actually caught me off guard.
00:04:23I'm thinking what the hell, like that relationship is definitely on the rocks.
00:04:28And as Steve comes home to his bride tonight...
00:04:31Honey, I'm home.
00:04:32Can I just say, I'm so glad to see you.
00:04:37..an excited Rebecca cannot wait to debrief on the day.
00:04:41So, tell me.
00:04:42Red flags, green flags, yeah?
00:04:44Yeah.
00:04:46Well, green flags, I mean...
00:04:48What were the...
00:04:50Do you want me to tell you what they were?
00:04:52Is that what we're doing?
00:04:53Yeah.
00:04:54Are you going to share mine?
00:04:55Only if you want to.
00:04:56No, I'm saying...
00:04:58The red flags, they're not red flags.
00:05:01It's more just teething.
00:05:02Like, as I said to them, I think we just have to get used to each other.
00:05:07Yeah.
00:05:07And our ways, that's all.
00:05:11So, uh, the green flags were pretty simple.
00:05:14Um, you know, you're warm, you're, um, you're caring, you know, you can list more than three.
00:05:19Yeah.
00:05:19That's easy.
00:05:22Did you tell Rebecca about the red flags that you raised with the boys?
00:05:28Uh, I'm trying to think if I told Rebecca about the red flags.
00:05:33Um, oh, I, um, I don't know if I specifically touched on, on them specifically, now that I'm trying to
00:05:45recall.
00:05:48Um, it's nothing personal, it's nothing that needs to be discussed yet.
00:05:54But yeah, it was an interesting, interesting get together.
00:05:58Yeah.
00:05:59He didn't really say the red flags though, did he?
00:06:02I don't know whether he's being genuine.
00:06:04Maybe I'll find them out on the couch.
00:06:06The commitment ceremony, who knows?
00:06:08Oh, I can't wait to get on the couch with the experts.
00:06:11Yeah.
00:06:11The couch is scaring me, to be honest.
00:06:14Yes.
00:06:30It's the morning of the first commitment ceremony of the experiment.
00:06:35Hello.
00:06:37Already?
00:06:38Already.
00:06:39And with two weeks of marriage behind them,
00:06:42our newlyweds are about to face the experts for the first time.
00:06:50Where tonight they must decide whether they want to stay in their relationship or leave.
00:06:57Your fit is hard as hell today.
00:06:59I'm just saying.
00:07:01I don't know if I'm going to be looking at the experts or you the whole time.
00:07:09The first commitment ceremony is a huge milestone of the experiment, as it gives our newlyweds a platform to share
00:07:16their experiences so far.
00:07:18Do you have any questions to the experts?
00:07:20No, we're just, I was going to give them a big clap.
00:07:23Like, I ran them up and steady.
00:07:24Same.
00:07:24Like, you guys nailed it.
00:07:25Not only are we here as experts to support our couples through any issues they're facing,
00:07:31we'll also offer raw and honest feedback, which they'll have to take on in front of the group.
00:07:37Tonight is about holding a mirror up to their relationships, keeping them accountable and ultimately sending them into the next
00:07:44phase of the experiment with the right tools to strengthen their marriage.
00:07:52Are you writing stay or leave?
00:07:54I don't know yet.
00:07:55Oh, don't be rude.
00:07:56I have to work it out.
00:07:58I have to sit down and have a think about it.
00:08:00Which one do you know how to spell?
00:08:02It stays easier to write.
00:08:05S-T-A-Y.
00:08:09Down the hall, it's wedded bliss for Gia and Scott.
00:08:14You look stunning.
00:08:15As they prepare to enter tonight, feeling as strong as ever.
00:08:19I'm actually excited.
00:08:21I'm excited to see the experts, to be honest.
00:08:22Yeah, it's going to be so fun.
00:08:23I love them. I'm excited to see what they have to say, to be honest.
00:08:26I think with me and Scott, the feelings are growing every day.
00:08:29We are so close.
00:08:31Like, the communication and the things that we talk about, I haven't talked about with people I've been with for
00:08:36years.
00:08:37So it's just really, really refreshing.
00:08:39It's strong.
00:08:41Yeah, I think we're just, we just fit well.
00:08:43I think it's obvious what we're both going to say tonight.
00:08:47It's crazy.
00:08:48I never thought I could know and learn so much about someone in such a short period of time.
00:08:53It's a step-by-step thing to, you know, falling for someone.
00:08:57And let's just say everything's going the right way.
00:09:01It's a really big crush.
00:09:02A massive crush.
00:09:04Yeah.
00:09:05All right.
00:09:06All right, well, I'll, um...
00:09:06I'll look plus on, but kiss you anyway.
00:09:08I'll kiss you anyway.
00:09:10I'll see you on the couch.
00:09:11Oh, you look like a princess.
00:09:12Oh.
00:09:15This year, for the first time, our couples went through Revelations Week, a brand new and intense phase of the
00:09:23experiment.
00:09:24It was tough, don't you think?
00:09:25Yeah, it's always good to get below the surface and dig a bit deeper.
00:09:30And for Rachel and Stephen...
00:09:33Fantastic.
00:09:34The tasks were transformative.
00:09:36It was a good week.
00:09:37Yeah.
00:09:38That's exactly how I'm feeling.
00:09:40Like, it's happiness.
00:09:41An emotional auditions video task helped the couple connect over their shared history with dating and body image.
00:09:49I've been single for at least 10 to 12 years.
00:09:52And I've been dating on and off since then.
00:09:55And I had to work my butt off to turn myself into something that I really didn't believe that mattered.
00:10:02You're great the way that you are.
00:10:04You really are.
00:10:06Oh, my...
00:10:06My God!
00:10:09As hard as it is for me to open up to anyone this early into a relationship,
00:10:14where we are stronger and we have come closer,
00:10:18it's going to be interesting to see what the experts are going to say.
00:10:22Like, I reckon it's going to be like, tick.
00:10:25Tick.
00:10:26Off you go.
00:10:28Yeah, no problems here.
00:10:31But as some couples revel in their progress,
00:10:34Stella is still reeling after yesterday,
00:10:37when her relationship with Philip was called inauthentic by Brooke.
00:10:42How are you feeling about tonight?
00:10:43Um, interesting.
00:10:44Yeah.
00:10:45Like, oh, yeah, interesting.
00:10:47Interesting feelings.
00:10:50I have never had that much connection with a person.
00:10:52I have never had that much intimacy.
00:10:57You know what?
00:10:58I think people think it's bullshit.
00:11:01Yeah.
00:11:04I don't believe you!
00:11:05What?!
00:11:05I don't believe you!
00:11:06I don't believe you!
00:11:08I told you what happened yesterday.
00:11:10Yeah.
00:11:10Like, our authenticity was questioned, you know?
00:11:13Mm.
00:11:13And, like, um, it's going to be interesting to see if it's going to be, you know...
00:11:18Yeah.
00:11:18...raise eyebrows in that sense, but...
00:11:20Yeah.
00:11:21It's so interesting to see what people have to say, because I just see, like, from the perspective that everyone
00:11:26judges through their own lens and how they are as people.
00:11:30If they want to bring in, we'll just say what we think, calmly.
00:11:34But we're not bothered.
00:11:35I know that misery lacks company.
00:11:39And happiness, unfortunately, invites people to try to tear you down.
00:11:47So, I want to protect what we have.
00:11:51Anyway, we're happy we're in a good place.
00:11:52That's it.
00:11:53And all that matters.
00:11:55And, um...
00:11:58I'm here for that, for that only.
00:12:03This morning, Brooke isn't wavering in her thoughts on other couples' relationships, nor the opinions she voiced yesterday.
00:12:11I wouldn't even say it's nasty.
00:12:13I actually just think it's girls calling out fake bitches.
00:12:17Mm.
00:12:17And I'm so glad I did, but then at the same time, I still had this inkling in me that
00:12:21I was like, oh, my God, I'm a horrible person.
00:12:23But then I was like, you know what, Brooke, you're f***ing logical.
00:12:27So, I'd like to see what bullshit Alyssa and Dave f***ing whip up today.
00:12:38Honestly, she's got something coming for her.
00:12:40And obviously, we already know, you know, we know our thoughts on Estella.
00:12:45Oh, I didn't have any thoughts until last night.
00:12:49We don't like it.
00:12:50And then all of a sudden, we're blueing with our neighbour.
00:12:52Well, that's fine.
00:12:54I think Stella, like, honestly, she's as fake as that f***ing plant.
00:13:01She is.
00:13:02And I'm sick of it.
00:13:04She couldn't even really say a red flag.
00:13:06Sorry.
00:13:07No one's relationship is perfect.
00:13:10I certainly, mine isn't, and I'm not sitting there telling porkies.
00:13:14That's the fakeness of it that I don't like.
00:13:19I'll let you throw the daggers today.
00:13:20I'll be the backup.
00:13:22With decisions made,
00:13:25our couples head off for what's set to be a revealing night.
00:13:48Greetings, gents.
00:13:49Greetings.
00:13:51Come on in, grab a seat.
00:13:53Hello, welcome.
00:13:55Hi.
00:13:55Welcome.
00:13:56Hello, guys.
00:13:57Hello.
00:13:58How are we going?
00:13:58Very well.
00:13:59Good.
00:14:00Take a seat.
00:14:01How are we doing?
00:14:02Yeah, good.
00:14:03Very, very well.
00:14:04Good.
00:14:05That's comfy.
00:14:07Oh.
00:14:09Well, this side is all right, isn't it?
00:14:20Welcome, ladies.
00:14:22Hello.
00:14:24Good evening.
00:14:28I'm so glad I'm beside you two.
00:14:30How are you doing?
00:14:32Oh, thank you.
00:14:43Welcome, everybody, to your very first commitment ceremony.
00:14:48Now, this is an incredibly pivotal part of the experiment,
00:14:52where each of you get a chance to open your relationship up
00:14:57to allow us insight into what's actually going on.
00:15:02So it is very, very important that you use these
00:15:06and take advantage of them as best you can,
00:15:10because it is here where your relationships can change for the better.
00:15:22All right, let's get our first couple up on the couch.
00:15:30Luke and Mel.
00:15:31Come on.
00:15:41Hello.
00:15:42Hi.
00:15:43Hi.
00:15:55Well, I mean, we can see from body language
00:15:58that things are a little tense between you right now.
00:16:04So let's go back in time to the wedding
00:16:09and go from there.
00:16:12So on the wedding day,
00:16:15I was really hoping for me to walk down the aisle,
00:16:19someone to turn around and me to be like,
00:16:22that's my person.
00:16:26But that isn't what I got.
00:16:28Why?
00:16:31And as I was walking down the aisle,
00:16:33all my friends and family turned around
00:16:36and they were sort of like,
00:16:38what are you doing here?
00:16:40And then I realised that Luke wasn't there.
00:16:47Luke ended up coming ten minutes later.
00:16:52I felt like I didn't get my moment.
00:16:54Like, I feel like that moment just turned into something
00:16:58that was really silly.
00:17:00I felt really embarrassed.
00:17:03I felt like I wanted a fairy tale.
00:17:06Right.
00:17:11And, yeah, it just was a really rocky start.
00:17:22Where were you, Luke?
00:17:26I had left the rings,
00:17:28so we had to turn the limo around and go back
00:17:31and get them and then head back in.
00:17:34But I had the attitude going into the honeymoon,
00:17:37let's just be as positive as we can.
00:17:39Let's try and just, like,
00:17:41make it work on a friends level first.
00:17:44But to be honest, I really struggled.
00:17:47It just felt like Mel was doing whatever she could
00:17:50to just push me away.
00:17:55Yeah, I just found every day I just, for some reason,
00:17:58it just wasn't working.
00:17:59And every day I got a level of, like, coldness from Mel.
00:18:10One of the observations when we were watching the dinner party
00:18:14was that there was really two Mel's in the room.
00:18:19The one that was with the sisterhood or other people in the group,
00:18:25you came alive.
00:18:27You were full of energy and you were charismatic and social and chatty.
00:18:34But as soon as you were placed next to Luke, a spark had gone out.
00:18:39Like, there was disdain that you had for him,
00:18:43which was hard for us to watch.
00:18:46Yeah, it's...
00:18:48The thing is, I shouldn't have been mean about it.
00:18:52It's just that I thought that Luke had feelings for me
00:18:55and because I wasn't feeling the same, I just wanted to push him away.
00:19:05So, you didn't try to get to know him?
00:19:08We still spoke. Like, I know a lot about Luke.
00:19:10I know that Luke is a cattle farmer.
00:19:12He's lived on the farm for 18 months.
00:19:15I know...
00:19:15But did you feel like you gave it a go, Mel?
00:19:21I explained to Luke that usually when I've been with somebody in the past,
00:19:26it's because I've had that instant connection with that person,
00:19:29that instant spark.
00:19:31But I also explained to Luke that I didn't feel it with Luke on the wedding day.
00:19:38You know, when we first met, Mel, you said you wanted a blonde-haired, blue-eyed guy.
00:19:42That's what you've typically gone out with in the past.
00:19:45Were you disappointed when you didn't get that?
00:19:52A little bit.
00:20:02But also the lateness at the wedding.
00:20:05He was chewing gum when we were doing the vows.
00:20:09He hasn't given it a chance.
00:20:12That's why it hasn't worked.
00:20:16I really did want my fairy tale.
00:20:20I just wanted to feel that spark.
00:20:24But I just couldn't feel it with Luke.
00:20:32Yeah.
00:20:33All right.
00:20:34Well, this is why we've asked you these questions, because you need a wake-up call.
00:20:51I really did want my fairy tale, and to feel that spark, but I just couldn't feel it with Luke.
00:21:05Yeah.
00:21:06All right.
00:21:06Well, this is why we've asked you these questions, because you need a wake-up call.
00:21:15Maths isn't about fairy tales.
00:21:18It's about real relationships, real work, real challenges, but most importantly, being open-minded.
00:21:30Your job is to meet a person and go, why have we been matched?
00:21:35I'm going to start to learn.
00:21:38If there's a chemistry now, straight away, great.
00:21:41If there's not, that's fine.
00:21:43I'm going to dig in, and I'm going to learn.
00:21:48And what you did, right from the word go, was say, no.
00:21:54You didn't feel the initial spark at the altar, and you've shut him down.
00:22:01And you've essentially done the very thing that's keeping you single.
00:22:08You've come in with a very preconceived set, ideas about what you want and what you don't want.
00:22:15And what you've got to realise is that you needed someone who was reliable, who had family values.
00:22:23He wants commitment.
00:22:26He's basically able to treat you well.
00:22:29And the real disappointment is that you don't know how good he is, because you haven't let him in.
00:22:38Luke, how did that affect you, being on the receiving end of that?
00:22:43Oh, I'd say, like, it definitely knocked my confidence a lot.
00:22:47And it definitely, like, made me think, you know, what am I doing wrong?
00:22:54Yeah, it's tough. It hurts.
00:23:02Yeah, I was excited to get to know someone and, you know, have fun with them, because I haven't done
00:23:08that for some time.
00:23:11And I really tried to do whatever I could, whether it was give Mel space, be friendly or whatever it
00:23:19was.
00:23:19I genuinely gave it my best shot as a thing.
00:23:37Oh, my God.
00:23:52You okay?
00:23:53Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
00:23:53There's tissues there if you need it.
00:23:54Oh, thank you.
00:24:12Mel, if you had a chance to do anything differently, what would you do?
00:24:18Yeah, I'm not proud of the way I acted. Genuinely, I'm really embarrassed.
00:24:25If I could take it back, I would.
00:24:27And I would treat Luke with more kindness, just more patience, more of an open heart.
00:24:36Yeah, I would do it very differently.
00:24:44Well, I think it's time for us to go to the decision.
00:24:49Let's go with you first, Luke. Stay or leave?
00:24:53So, this was a pretty tough decision for me to make.
00:25:00And I suppose almost an ignorant part of me didn't want to believe that it wasn't ever going to work.
00:25:06And I kind of saw, like, the last light being chatting to you guys and maybe that might potentially do
00:25:16something.
00:25:17Right.
00:25:17So, even though it has been so tough and everything with us, I don't want to leave it on that
00:25:33note.
00:25:35I think that's great.
00:25:37Yep.
00:25:38Oh, my God.
00:25:39Oh, my God.
00:25:41Oh, my God.
00:25:51And what about you, Mel?
00:26:03Obviously, like, this experiment has been a lot harder than I thought it was going to be.
00:26:09And I can see that Luke and I are different people, unfortunately.
00:26:18So, I've decided to right leave.
00:26:28Oh, man.
00:26:29I feel bad.
00:26:36So, as we know, with the rules of this experiment, that if one person says stay, the other says
00:26:42leave, then they stay for another week to see if they can turn it around.
00:26:48Now, Mel, how do you feel about this and about his decision to stay?
00:26:53He's not quitting.
00:26:53I'm really, really shocked, to be honest.
00:27:02But, yeah, I definitely will take your advice on board.
00:27:04And I really want to prove to Luke that I'm not a mean person and I'm not a bad person.
00:27:10We know you're not a mean person.
00:27:12You're not a bad person either.
00:27:14But what's important is that you get curious.
00:27:19You open your mind up.
00:27:21Because from what we're hearing, he really didn't get a chance from the word go.
00:27:28You've got a week now where you can actually find out why he's so compatible and break patterns.
00:27:36Okay?
00:27:37Okay.
00:27:37There's no pressure.
00:27:38Just have fun, enjoy each other's company, and get to know one another.
00:27:41As though this is day one of your relationship.
00:27:46Alright?
00:27:47Tough session.
00:27:48You did well.
00:27:49Back to the group.
00:27:50Well done, guys.
00:27:54Yay!
00:27:55You did it!
00:27:56I was going to say, give me your hope, mate.
00:27:58You're a good man.
00:28:00I see this as my genuine last crack at giving this a shot, so I'm keen to take what they've
00:28:07said on board and get to know Mel again with a good energy.
00:28:11How are you feeling?
00:28:13I'm feeling you fucked.
00:28:14Alright, though.
00:28:16Okay, good.
00:28:17I'm really, really hoping Mel can do the same and put everything in the past behind us.
00:28:24We're going to be positive.
00:28:26Yeah.
00:28:28It's time to get our next couple up on the couch.
00:28:37Gia and Scott.
00:28:39I knew it.
00:28:45First of all.
00:28:46Hello.
00:28:47Thank you so much for doing a good job for my beautiful wife and I.
00:28:51Aww.
00:28:53That's very cute.
00:28:53So let's go to the decision, shall we?
00:28:55I'm a happy guy.
00:28:58Tell us about this happiness and this leg over leg kind of situation.
00:29:03It's been like this since the moment we met.
00:29:05It's crazy.
00:29:07The moment we saw each other at the wedding, both of us straight away were just stoked with
00:29:12who we got.
00:29:13Yeah.
00:29:14It was a feeling I haven't had before.
00:29:15It was pretty crazy.
00:29:15Yeah.
00:29:16Like, I felt this instant connection.
00:29:18Like, our chemistry just went off the bat and it just, yeah, it was unreal.
00:29:24Um, and then she pulled me aside and told me about her daughter.
00:29:29And I just grabbed her hands and I'm like, I'm fully open to bring her into my life.
00:29:33And for me, I just felt something even stronger, like, just from that.
00:29:39Yeah, like, we get along good.
00:29:42Like, I'm happy.
00:29:43Yeah, it's good.
00:29:44I think we can tell you're happy.
00:29:46Great.
00:29:46Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:29:47We're picking up on that.
00:29:49But you want, you want to talk?
00:29:50Because I...
00:29:51Well, I think we're...
00:29:51Oh, no, because we're both...
00:29:52No, because you're like...
00:29:54You want to talk and I want to talk because we've got so much.
00:29:57We want to get into the honeymoon.
00:29:58So, obviously, the wedding was amazing.
00:30:00And then we went to Townsville.
00:30:02We both were, like, not wanting to have sex straight away.
00:30:06But we tried to hold off as much as we could.
00:30:08We tried to hold on, but it was getting intense.
00:30:09It was just like...
00:30:13We just gave in.
00:30:14But it was like...
00:30:14We just gave in.
00:30:14We gave in on the honeymoon.
00:30:16And it was so great.
00:30:17And, like, since then, we've obviously, like, we've slept together literally every day since then.
00:30:19Multiple times.
00:30:23Sorry.
00:30:23You know, when you start, you can't stop.
00:30:25We just...
00:30:26Yeah.
00:30:27We're just...
00:30:28And every day we get closer.
00:30:29Like, it gets better every day, too.
00:30:34Clearly, there's a...
00:30:35Clearly, there's a physical situation.
00:30:38That is very undeniable.
00:30:40The chemistry...
00:30:40Yes.
00:30:40We can feel it from here.
00:30:42Yes.
00:30:42I love that.
00:30:43It's palpable.
00:30:44Like, he just ticks all my boxes and I just feel so comfortable with him.
00:30:48And I feel, like, seen.
00:30:49And, like, that I can be me.
00:30:53I've never had that, to be honest with him, I think.
00:30:55Aw.
00:30:56You're cute.
00:30:57You're cute.
00:31:00I feel like we shouldn't be here right now.
00:31:03I'm telling her right now, I could get out with her right now and we're sweet.
00:31:05I could say that.
00:31:06Yeah.
00:31:10I don't know that at this point we have much more to say.
00:31:14Why don't you show us your decision at the same time?
00:31:17At the same time.
00:31:17One, two, and three, go!
00:31:20Stay a thousand percent.
00:31:21All right.
00:31:22I'm not leaving.
00:31:23I'm not leaving.
00:31:27Beautiful.
00:31:28Honestly, this is not something we see very often.
00:31:31No.
00:31:31This kind of synergy.
00:31:32This kind of just really intense, high-energy enthusiasm.
00:31:36This early on is experiment.
00:31:37So, for now, keep doing what you're doing.
00:31:39Keep being curious.
00:31:40Keep having fun.
00:31:41Yeah.
00:31:41And I hope you have a great week.
00:31:45Well done, guys.
00:31:45Well done, you guys.
00:31:47Honesty is key.
00:31:48Absolutely.
00:31:50Beautiful.
00:31:54Well done.
00:31:56I thought you guys were about to get a bit frisky on the couch.
00:32:00I love it.
00:32:01It's a bit of a bogan.
00:32:01It's great.
00:32:02And our next couple on the couch.
00:32:04Bec and Danny.
00:32:06Woo!
00:32:15Hi, guys.
00:32:17Hello.
00:32:18How's it all going?
00:32:20Look, we, um, it hasn't been easy.
00:32:25We had a beautiful wedding.
00:32:27It was amazing.
00:32:28But in Fiji, we did have a hard time.
00:32:33On the honeymoon, we had one intimate evening.
00:32:36And then, um, Danny stripped it right back.
00:32:42Did that feel like rejection to you?
00:32:44Yeah.
00:32:45Yeah.
00:32:51Um...
00:32:55Like, I thought our sexual chemistry was pretty low.
00:33:03And I was struggling with that.
00:33:05Because in the normal world, if I met a girl like that and there wasn't that chemistry, I'd probably just
00:33:10do a runner. Do you know what you mean?
00:33:13But, um...
00:33:15I sort of, like, for the, uh, rapid resolution...
00:33:19What's the word?
00:33:22Rapid revelation.
00:33:24For the card challenge, I sort of brought it out, and we had a chat about it.
00:33:28That was intense.
00:33:30And Bec had a cry.
00:33:32And it made me feel like shit, because I'd sort of made her cry. Do you know what you mean?
00:33:36But I'd done some reflection, and I was like, it lit a fire in my belly, to be honest with
00:33:40you.
00:33:40But it's getting so much better.
00:33:42So much better.
00:33:44It's been, this has been transformative for us.
00:33:46Mm-hmm.
00:33:46This week.
00:33:47Like, I just have to remember that patience is key, with intimacy.
00:33:52And also, everyone works at a different pace.
00:33:57Well, I've gotta say, you've been faced with a couple of challenges.
00:34:02You've approached them with some maturity, an open mind, willingness to change and to challenge yourself,
00:34:08and to talk about it.
00:34:10Which is so promising.
00:34:14And I love that, Bec, you've shown Danny some real vulnerability.
00:34:18You've opened up, and you've shown him that you trust him to do that.
00:34:23Maybe, Danny, it's your turn to open up a little bit more this week,
00:34:27and to show her some of your soft underbelly.
00:34:30Because there's so much there, and I love that you're starting to sort of create some cracks there in the
00:34:35veneers,
00:34:36and open up to each other a little bit more.
00:34:38That's it.
00:34:40I think we're gonna go to a decision.
00:34:42Let's do it.
00:34:43Let's go first.
00:34:44We'll start with you, Danny.
00:34:48Right, so nice easy one, but yeah, I'll put stay.
00:34:53Brilliant.
00:34:58And to you, Bec.
00:35:01This was an easy one for me, so I said stay.
00:35:04Of course.
00:35:05Of course.
00:35:07Love it.
00:35:09Well done, you guys.
00:35:10Very impressed.
00:35:11Good work.
00:35:18Well done, guys.
00:35:19Thanks.
00:35:20Well done, Danny.
00:35:21Not fake.
00:35:22What?
00:35:24No.
00:35:25No.
00:35:25No one would say that.
00:35:27Who said you guys were fake?
00:35:28Ugh.
00:35:30No.
00:35:32I can't.
00:35:33I cannot stand it.
00:35:40Coming up.
00:35:42I feel like not everyone likes your happiness.
00:35:46Brides go head to head.
00:35:48No one has said that.
00:35:49Don't sit up here and make yourself be the victim.
00:35:53I'm feeling good.
00:36:02Let's get our next couple up on the couch.
00:36:06Rachel and Steven.
00:36:09Ha ha ha.
00:36:10Ha ha ha.
00:36:12Ha ha ha.
00:36:15Ha ha ha.
00:36:15Ha ha ha.
00:36:16Ha ha ha.
00:36:16Ha ha ha.
00:36:17Hello.
00:36:18That was quite the chuckle.
00:36:20There it is.
00:36:22There it is.
00:36:22There it is.
00:36:24Oh, comfy.
00:36:25Comfy lounge.
00:36:26It is comfy.
00:36:26Might take this one back to the apartment.
00:36:28Ha ha ha.
00:36:32How have you two been?
00:36:34Yeah, good.
00:36:35It's been a hell of a ride.
00:36:37The wedding was absolutely fantastic.
00:36:41I mean, I was about to make love to the ground by fainting almost.
00:36:45Ha ha ha.
00:36:46I was just so nervous.
00:36:48Ha ha ha.
00:36:49You know.
00:36:50But as soon as I saw Rachel, my nerves just immediately dropped.
00:36:58And one thing I can definitely say about the ceremony and everything, it was messy.
00:37:03It was unpolished.
00:37:05It was funny.
00:37:05And I wouldn't want it any other way.
00:37:12Yeah, it was just, I don't know.
00:37:14It was like, the goofiness just ensued.
00:37:16It was a lot of fun.
00:37:19So.
00:37:19It was a lot of laughter.
00:37:20A lot of laughter.
00:37:21Like a lot.
00:37:22Ha ha ha.
00:37:23Yeah.
00:37:24Yeah.
00:37:24We started off on a really big high.
00:37:26And even though we had a couple of kick ups on the honeymoon with Revelations week.
00:37:31Can I hold your hand again?
00:37:33Yeah.
00:37:33No.
00:37:35We're getting closer and closer and shown and we're connected emotionally.
00:37:40We've got this relatability as well.
00:37:43And it's a bit heartbreaking too, because we do share a common thing with body image.
00:37:50Yeah.
00:37:51Watching Stephen's audition video brought up a lot of emotion for me.
00:37:56It hurt my heart to hear what he had experienced.
00:37:59And that relatability of like what we've experienced in the dating world.
00:38:05And what we're looking for.
00:38:08It all connects.
00:38:10We can see it there.
00:38:11And we feel it there.
00:38:17And that is a big part of why you're such a good match.
00:38:21So your shared history and, you know, your playfulness is definitely something that we loved about the two of you.
00:38:28Rachel, now it's a good time to ask, how do you feel about this man?
00:38:31How do I feel about my husband?
00:38:39I really like Stephen.
00:38:41And, you know, I think you're really handsome and you are amazing the way that you are.
00:38:47And I will tell you every freaking day if I have to.
00:38:53I'm going to hand it to her.
00:38:54Rachel, I can definitely say is the most selfless person I've ever met.
00:39:00She's my number one fan.
00:39:02Like, you are amazing.
00:39:04You are so special.
00:39:06And I really hope that we're going to move in the right direction and we're going to get there.
00:39:10Oh, my God.
00:39:12Yeah.
00:39:13Yeah.
00:39:15Beautiful.
00:39:17Yes.
00:39:21All right.
00:39:22Well, we're going to go to a decision.
00:39:23Yes.
00:39:25Rachel, we'll go to you first.
00:39:26Okay.
00:39:27I'm following my heart in this moment.
00:39:31Stay in, baby.
00:39:33Wonderful.
00:39:36Excellent.
00:39:37And to you, Stephen.
00:39:39I'm really happy how this week went.
00:39:42So, I've decided to stay.
00:39:45Big old capital!
00:39:47Yay!
00:39:51Thank you, both.
00:39:52Thank you so much.
00:39:54Well done.
00:39:56Well done.
00:39:59That's so strong.
00:40:04Oh, my gosh.
00:40:05I almost died up there.
00:40:07Oh.
00:40:08Well done.
00:40:10Well done.
00:40:18Let's get our next couple up.
00:40:25Steve and Rebecca.
00:40:31Okay.
00:40:32Do you want this side or that's...
00:40:33I don't know.
00:40:33Let's just sit.
00:40:34Let's just go.
00:40:34Okay.
00:40:35Okay.
00:40:35All right.
00:40:36How's it going?
00:40:37Very happy.
00:40:39Nothing wrong with the wedding day, the connection, everything.
00:40:47It's like I had known Rebecca for a very long time.
00:40:49Yeah.
00:40:52We're very solid and comfortable.
00:40:56This is bad.
00:40:58So confused.
00:41:00It's not...
00:41:01Like a ****.
00:41:03Then I think we built a friendship very quickly during and after the honeymoon.
00:41:10So I think we've got nothing but progress.
00:41:15I mean, it's...
00:41:16Yeah, we're all good, I think.
00:41:22Yeah?
00:41:22Yeah.
00:41:23Look, art.
00:41:23Yeah.
00:41:24Yeah.
00:41:25Okay.
00:41:39Look art, yeah.
00:41:41Ah, yeah.
00:41:41Yeah.
00:41:42I know how big of a deal it is for you yeah with your history and the time that you
00:41:48have spent by
00:41:49yourself not being in a relationship the foundation of you got to build friendship very quickly in
00:41:54this experience and I think we built that very quickly I would love to hear from Rebecca
00:42:04well I think at the moment we have a rock-solid foundation and I respect that I get it but
00:42:12I haven't had a relationship or been a relation for eight years the whole reason I'm here is because
00:42:19I want to find my person I'm craving affection and I want to feel like I'm desired by my partner
00:42:28but like I'm very attracted to Steve and we're in such a good place on the wedding and the honeymoon
00:42:34that I was expecting a little bit more from him and with the romance
00:42:41I'm more conservative so it is a slow pace with me
00:42:47but but do you feel that sense of attraction to her of wanting to lean into that romantic
00:42:53feeling with with Rebecca do I now have you since you met her yeah I'm the honeymoon as I said
00:43:00the
00:43:00progress it was a hundred percent we were hitting that way um since you've just made the distinction
00:43:05do you not now yes I do yes I still do
00:43:13yes that's the answer
00:43:22why is he saying it I don't know you pretend that it's all good
00:43:31can I ask Rebecca has Steve made you feel desired
00:43:39don't hold back
00:43:47no
00:44:00no
00:44:17so there is that doubt that Steve does look at me up other than just like I don't want a
00:44:27friend I
00:44:27made another friend I didn't come here to make friends but do you think he looks at you as a
00:44:33friend at the moment
00:44:35yeah absolutely
00:44:42I'm scared now to be honest
00:44:58hey
00:45:00because now I'm freaking yeah I know but now I'm scared of the rejection
00:45:03don't be
00:45:04thank you
00:45:06Keanu that's that's my biggest fear is being rejected
00:45:11like I know that we're both in this position because obviously we're just getting to know each other
00:45:18but I look at him more than a friend
00:45:22now like I'm just like I'm terrified like I'm terrified of rejection from Steve
00:45:31say the truth
00:45:34um I'm just
00:45:36I would like to think I'm being respectful I know this is an experiment
00:45:39but I think we're going as fast well I'm going as fast as I possibly can
00:45:47I don't I don't
00:45:57she has just told you though that she looks at you as more than a friend she's very attracted to
00:46:02you
00:46:05yes
00:46:06and the challenge here Steve is that what you're saying is you're not looking at her romantically
00:46:14it's platonic
00:46:18so what this is all about is now getting onto the same page
00:46:23did you know that you were at a crossroads over this particular issue
00:46:28um
00:46:31I wouldn't call it a crossroads
00:46:33I knew that there was a different speed in which we were both wanting to possibly go
00:46:36but I'm understanding how that's an issue for Rebecca for sure
00:46:41I'm definitely open to progressing that side of things
00:46:53let's go to the decision
00:46:55stay or leave what you're going to do let's go with you first
00:46:58Steve
00:46:59yeah yeah um
00:47:01there's so many amazing qualities to Rebecca
00:47:03so um yeah I'm definitely not going anywhere so yeah stay
00:47:09good and what about you Rebecca what you got for a stay or leave
00:47:16um
00:47:19I'm going to
00:47:21stay
00:47:21you can go back to the group
00:47:29all right well done

00:47:33thanks guys
00:47:36thanks
00:47:38thanks
00:47:38that's a lot
00:47:40it was confronting
00:47:41yeah
00:47:43not easy up there guys
00:47:45like I said I don't need another friend I'm not here for that
00:47:47but I'm also really glad that now he knows that I need more
00:47:51so I'm really excited for the task to come
00:47:53like I hope he'll step up
00:47:55you all right
00:47:56yeah
00:47:56thank you
00:48:03let's get our next couple up
00:48:08Chris and Brooke
00:48:14hello hello hello
00:48:16hello you too
00:48:17how are you
00:48:17hi welcome
00:48:18thank you
00:48:19how are we going hey
00:48:21how are we doing
00:48:22good nervous
00:48:24a little bit
00:48:25a little bit
00:48:27how are you going
00:48:29well yeah nice try
00:48:32we're actually wondering about
00:48:34what you're nervous about
00:48:36I think it's been a pretty
00:48:40bit of a bit of a roller coaster
00:48:43after the ceremony
00:48:45I was not sure about Chris
00:48:49your vows were a little bit
00:48:51naggy at the time
00:48:53he said that
00:48:54there is a 0.0000001% chance
00:48:59that this is going to work
00:49:01wow
00:49:02so I was a bit like
00:49:03what are you doing here
00:49:09so Chris did you not have faith
00:49:11in the match that we had done
00:49:14so I was very pessimistic yes
00:49:18but I've been proven wrong
00:49:21I'm sorry
00:49:23I have been proven wrong
00:49:25interesting
00:49:29we'll take that apology
00:49:32carry on
00:49:33what happened after those vows
00:49:35because it sounds like
00:49:37you were a little unnerved
00:49:39yeah I was
00:49:40and it probably wasn't until day two
00:49:41that like we started to get
00:49:43a deeper connection
00:49:44and I could actually see
00:49:46something that could start to evolve
00:49:48so we went into revelations week
00:49:51thinking that it was going to be so easy
00:49:55but then I watched the audition tapes
00:49:58and there was a lot of things that he said in the video that I don't agree with
00:50:03like what
00:50:05that he hasn't found a connection with girls
00:50:08and the only girls that he gets with are hot and dumb
00:50:12I was being really blunt with my labelling of terms
00:50:15well let me explain what you actually said
00:50:17you said your three X or three red flags were fake tan
00:50:24clingy girls
00:50:26and fat people
00:50:37that's done some big damage
00:50:42how did you explain your way out of this one
00:50:45what did you say to her
00:50:49I didn't
00:50:50how did you handle it
00:50:51I took full responsibility
00:50:53for that video
00:50:57me I've come from a footy
00:51:00I've been playing football my whole life
00:51:03yeah I think that's a cop out
00:51:04I've been in this environment
00:51:07where it sort of promotes
00:51:08this sort of behaviour
00:51:16okay I want to go there with you
00:51:19why is it inappropriate
00:51:22to talk about women in that way
00:51:25it's degrading
00:51:27correct
00:51:29that sends a message to women
00:51:32you're not respecting them
00:51:34you're looking at them as objects
00:51:36that you can use
00:51:37throw away
00:51:45disappointed in myself
00:51:48being with Brooke now
00:51:49the person that I've been the last two weeks
00:51:51it's a dramatic change
00:51:55yeah
00:51:55and that's the thing
00:51:56like I've seen a different side to him
00:51:58and that's why I'm still sitting here
00:52:00and I know that he's trying to
00:52:02be a better person and change
00:52:04I think
00:52:05you know as much as it did set us back
00:52:07I
00:52:08you know I hope that we can progress
00:52:10because we do have a great connection together
00:52:16so let's go to the decision
00:52:18let's go with you first
00:52:19stay or leave
00:52:20Chris
00:52:21I think mine's pretty obvious
00:52:23I'm staying
00:52:24yeah
00:52:25okay what about you Brooke?
00:52:27stay or leave?
00:52:29no I think that there's still definitely more to explore
00:52:32so I've done stay with the poo emoji
00:52:40alright and with that
00:52:41you can go back to the group
00:52:43thanks guys
00:52:44thank you
00:52:49thanks guys
00:52:50thanks
00:52:54so good babe
00:52:56you did so good
00:52:57thank you
00:52:58coming up
00:52:59fool
00:53:01she's a fool
00:53:03a tense end to the first commitment ceremony
00:53:07I don't understand why you're coming at me
00:53:10I'm not coming at you
00:53:11I'm so pissed off
00:53:13she just talked out of her arms
00:53:26let's get our next couple up
00:53:32Julia and Grayson
00:53:38hey guys
00:53:40hello
00:53:40pleasure to meet you
00:53:41hi
00:53:42welcome
00:53:43nice to see you together
00:53:44we're like a rainbow
00:53:46yes
00:53:46look at us
00:53:47technical a dream
00:53:49yeah
00:53:49love it
00:53:51well to look at the two of you
00:53:52you're looking very comfortable together
00:53:54yeah
00:53:55yeah we are pretty comfortable
00:53:56tell us
00:53:57how are things going
00:53:58really positive
00:54:00at the wedding
00:54:01like Jules for me
00:54:03owned the aisle
00:54:04she just had this beaming smile
00:54:06and in that moment
00:54:07everything sort of slowed down for me
00:54:09and put me at ease
00:54:10and I felt safe
00:54:12I love that
00:54:13yeah
00:54:14it was
00:54:15just mind blowing
00:54:17as you know
00:54:18I'm a bisexual woman
00:54:20so I didn't know if there was going to be a woman there
00:54:22a man there
00:54:23what you know
00:54:23who it was going to be
00:54:24but the moment I sort of locked eyes with Grayson
00:54:28I felt at ease
00:54:32we have so many values
00:54:34that are aligned
00:54:35you know
00:54:35he is very open minded
00:54:36and this is something that I really value
00:54:39about Grayson
00:54:41you know
00:54:41he doesn't shy away from new things
00:54:44and that is something that I find really attractive
00:54:48but you know
00:54:50taking it slow is important to me
00:54:52so for us
00:54:54I think it's been about
00:54:55building a foundation of friendship
00:54:57first and foremost
00:55:01and is that what it's about for you too
00:55:04yeah absolutely
00:55:05I think
00:55:05it absolutely is
00:55:07but
00:55:08I
00:55:09you know
00:55:10I don't want to get caught in that space
00:55:12I want to
00:55:13I want to be able to shift into a romantic place
00:55:16and that takes both of us
00:55:18you know
00:55:19Jules made it very clear on our wedding night
00:55:20and said look
00:55:21I'd like to take this slow
00:55:22very slow
00:55:23and I said well if that's what it's going to take
00:55:25I've got all the time in the world to fall in love
00:55:27but
00:55:28I just want to build some form of relationship
00:55:30and create a space of safety and trust for her to flourish
00:55:36and for me that brings up a few questions
00:55:43I love the idea of building a strong foundation of friendship
00:55:46I think that's super important
00:55:49but it's not friendship at first sight
00:55:52it is marriage at first sight
00:55:55and the time here is limited
00:55:58and it is meant to fast track
00:56:00the way a relationship can build that safety and trust
00:56:04and it sounds to me like Julia you set the pace
00:56:08and Grace and then you said oh well okay
00:56:14it has to be both people coming together
00:56:17not one adjusting to the other
00:56:24and so I'm wondering
00:56:25how that feels for you
00:56:29look it's um
00:56:36I am here to fall in love
00:56:38and find someone to fall in love with
00:56:40um
00:56:41so
00:56:42would I have liked it to be
00:56:44a little further down the line
00:56:46yeah
00:56:46but
00:56:46I mean
00:56:49if I see
00:56:51small steps
00:56:52taken daily
00:56:54or you know
00:56:54if I see us
00:56:55sort of
00:56:56you know
00:56:57progressing
00:56:58and
00:56:58so is there progression
00:57:00I wonder
00:57:01is there romance between you
00:57:02um
00:57:04I wouldn't say at this point
00:57:05there's
00:57:06there's been much romance
00:57:07no
00:57:18is that a conscious decision
00:57:20something you decided was not going to happen
00:57:22you're waiting for
00:57:23I'd love to say that like
00:57:25yeah
00:57:27it's really coming across here
00:57:29like I'm the one leading this
00:57:31but
00:57:32I'm just honoring my process
00:57:35I wanted to take it slow
00:57:38moving into a space of romance
00:57:39I really need to feel emotionally
00:57:41safe
00:57:42and connected
00:57:45so
00:57:47yeah
00:57:47I just don't want it to be coming across like
00:57:50I'm the one who's like
00:57:51no
00:57:51it's not like that
00:57:53it's a dance
00:57:54and I think we're both
00:57:56trying to kind of like
00:57:58work each other out
00:58:00he's reading me
00:58:01I'm reading him
00:58:04Grayson is that a fair call
00:58:08no
00:58:09no
00:58:09it's just because I
00:58:10because all the issues
00:58:11and all the conversations
00:58:12we've been having
00:58:13are purely about you Jules
00:58:32I just don't want it to be coming across like
00:58:34I'm the one who's like
00:58:36no
00:58:36it's not like that
00:58:37I think we're both
00:58:38trying to kind of like
00:58:40work each other out
00:58:43he's reading me
00:58:44I'm reading him
00:58:47Grayson is that a fair call
00:58:51no it's just because I
00:58:52because all the issues
00:58:54and all the conversations
00:58:55we've been having
00:58:56are purely about you Jules
00:59:04on a daily basis
00:59:06since the honeymoon
00:59:07it was just all
00:59:08like everything was just compounding on
00:59:11how you were feeling
00:59:12and I just showed up
00:59:14and I was there for you
00:59:15I've been patient
00:59:16open
00:59:19I was doing everything I could
00:59:21to support Jules
00:59:23so
00:59:25look
00:59:25to be honest
00:59:26I think it's been far outweighed
00:59:28in regards to effort
00:59:35I really don't feel that
00:59:37that is fair
00:59:37to be honest Grayson
00:59:38but that's
00:59:39that's a reality for me Jules
00:59:40well I'm just
00:59:42okay
00:59:43so
00:59:43I think that there may have been
00:59:45some sweeping under the rug
00:59:46because
00:59:47I didn't actually know
00:59:48that
00:59:48Grayson was feeling
00:59:50some of these things
00:59:51and
00:59:52I think that's something
00:59:53that we should
00:59:54chat about more
00:59:58at the end of the day
00:59:59it's about really
01:00:00how you each
01:00:01hear what the other is saying
01:00:03and also
01:00:05do your part
01:00:06to lean in
01:00:07not only
01:00:08put walls up
01:00:09and keep the other away
01:00:10because the defensive part
01:00:12you have loads of experience with
01:00:14you've been doing that for years
01:00:16you wouldn't be here
01:00:17if that hadn't been the case
01:00:18in the past
01:00:21I feel that
01:00:22yeah
01:00:22yeah
01:00:23yeah
01:00:24I believe
01:00:25we're both having
01:00:26giving this a good nudge
01:00:28oh and we can see that
01:00:29and I guess that's why
01:00:30we're you know
01:00:31gently
01:00:31challenging you here
01:00:33because there's so much
01:00:34potential here
01:00:37so with that said
01:00:38we're going to go to the decision
01:00:40and we're going to go
01:00:41to you Julia

01:02:16um then the first thing she did when we did our vows is she she said she wasn't going to
01:02:21marry me
01:02:22until i got down on one knee and proposed
01:02:28um straight away it was a big move from you it was a ballsy move it was a ballsy it

01:02:51i know it's early days but i care for alissa a lot you know i definitely have feelings for her
01:02:57the amount of things that we're literally the same in is crazy so you guys literally went
01:03:03ticking like boxes values religion even like in our childhood and our upbringings and it's just
01:03:10not just listening to that it sounds like you've been asking each other a lot of questions
01:03:14we've literally been staying up two late hours just talking getting curious so curious but also
01:03:20like you know just skipping bullshit
01:03:24she sounds like an infomercial selling hair products desperately at 3am when you're to you
01:03:35this is fantastic we're gonna go to the decision let's let's go with you first elisa stay or leave
01:03:42capital stay with a smiley face because i'm really happy oh i love that and david

01:04:42her
01:04:42she's cool i got her and then uh you fast forward to the honeymoon and then we just started to
01:04:47realize that we see the world in the same way family friends are super important we like similar
01:04:52music we eat the same food we go train and do all this kind of stuff and i'm fully into
01:04:57her like i
01:04:58always tell looking at her i'm kissing her all the time and it's kind of helped with you know like
01:05:03there's different levels of intimacy as well like we've given each other full body massages that
01:05:08lasted an hour longer oh yeah god blows
01:05:16can i just make an observation we're sitting here and looking at you two
01:05:21your eye contact is unbelievable yeah we do have a lot of that like you directly stare into his eyes
01:05:28so when you say you've got a high level of intimacy you can see it yeah and it like to
01:05:35be honest i kind
01:05:36also want to protect it in a way um yeah what do you mean just protect it for the time
01:05:45being yeah
01:05:49i feel like um not everyone likes your happiness
01:05:59are you suggesting that some people here find your happiness difficult to swallow
01:06:05it felt in the moment uh yeah are the red and green flags there was questions raised you know
01:06:12as in like it wasn't authentic you know what we had
01:06:16that's me that was me what exactly are they saying you know that me sitting on his lap and giving
01:06:25kisses
01:06:25at the dinner party was like wasn't authentic it was more of a performance yeah yeah and it really
01:06:32is not like i'm here to show up for myself and for my partner what
01:06:39also no one cares and we're not jealous okay who in the group feels like
01:06:46this is a performance and it's not genuine
01:06:53i mean look i'll be honest
01:07:11at the start i did feel like it was a little bit of a performance i mean look i'll be
01:07:21honest
01:07:21at the start i did feel like it was a little bit of a performance because i was like walt
01:07:26this is
01:07:27very hot and heavy very early on so i was like wow like sounds too good to be true it
01:07:34wasn't like i
01:07:35was being like this is fake it was some of the comments of we're looking at baby names and already
01:07:41falling in love with each other that was seemed full on
01:07:47do you know what i i think you guys are gonna have babies and you and you falling in love
01:07:52so
01:07:52let's move with positivity what anyone else thinks because what you guys have you know is real and
01:07:59that's all that matters we're just doing our thing like it's it's good and it should it should be good
01:08:05it should be fun and that's particularly the reason why i feel like i want to protect it
01:08:14i'm freaking fuming
01:08:21she's playing the victim
01:08:24i guess you know it's kind of sad to learn that at the age of 32 i have to relearn
01:08:28that
01:08:29not everyone is wishing you happiness
01:08:36but no one's saying that we're not happy for you like no one has said that no one yesterday said
01:08:42that we're not happy for you
01:08:46so you don't sit up here and make yourself be the victim because that's how it is
01:08:53oh i don't know if she's being the victim i think that she's just trying to express that
01:08:57there can be a bit of mean girl energy sometimes and maybe she's
01:09:00and vice versa mate literally same though
01:09:06don't worry i was called fake yesterday
01:09:08two
01:09:12alissa shut up because all you do is speak with an infomercial voice pipe down
01:09:16okay no i'm just saying there were like names called yesterday
01:09:20we're done with it
01:09:23you called everyone fake
01:09:25you roll your eyes at everyone alissa
01:09:27far out
01:09:30okay guys we'll just bring it back down
01:09:40you know the good thing though stella by bringing this up
01:09:43immediately i watch for philip's reaction
01:09:46and his reaction is he's got your back
01:09:51and that's the thing i like i'm here to match his energy we do align on so many different levels
01:09:57and i said at the end of the day i'm gonna give my heart fully if i get hurt i
01:10:03get hurt that's gonna be a lesson for me
01:10:04but i will not try to self-sabotage myself by playing it safe because i think for myself
01:10:13i'm not looking anything less than a soulmate level connection
01:10:18so you think he could be a soulmate for you
01:10:25i think we if we're heading the way we're heading
01:10:30yes
01:10:34definitely i feel the same as well like yeah i feel really blessed to have been like matched
01:10:38with stella and it's amazing to see you both thriving and growing and doing really what you're meant to do
01:10:45in this experiment which is be curious learn about the other and find a way to come together
01:10:51so having said that let's go to the decision
01:10:58and we're gonna start with philip yes i've got no reason to go anywhere
01:11:04right now we just start we just got here so it's all right starting up thanks that's a strong stay
01:11:09long and stella oh we have a little love heart oh yeah
01:11:19keep doing what you're doing you guys
01:11:35i'm not gonna sit there and be happy for someone when they call out a story that didn't even happen
01:11:45not one person yesterday at the lunch said they were unhappy for your happiness
01:11:50so don't put words in other people's mouths and make it out like we're not happy for you
01:11:55you also went around to everyone in the room having your opinion everyone had their opinion so don't
01:12:01that's what i'm saying playing the victim because you had your opinion as well as everyone
