00:00:01You're special and I am in love with you.
00:00:05Philip finally confessed those magic words.
00:00:09Oh God, I feel like I'm going to cry.
00:00:12But Stella was left feeling triggered.
00:00:15Fear of rejection, not rejection, abandonment.
00:00:17So I'm dealing with that right now.
00:00:21Despite Rachel and Steven's romantic progression.
00:00:25Made second base.
00:00:27And we've had...
00:00:30They became the butt of the joke at the couple's retreat.
00:00:34Don't even want to be around here anymore.
00:00:37When the group turned on Beck and Danny.
00:00:39Every night you've been the dumbest.
00:00:42The pair made an abrupt exit.
00:00:46And at the dinner party...
00:00:47I've got all this in the screenshots.
00:00:49I've got it in text messages.
00:00:50Gia declared she was sitting on explosive evidence against Beck.
00:00:54I could ruin everything for her right now.
00:00:57She said...
00:00:58Oh!
00:00:59Are you kidding?
00:01:02Tonight.
00:01:04Beck has gotten away with a lot in this experiment.
00:01:07She's done a lot of things wrong by a lot of people.
00:01:10So I think the screenshots, if they are aired out, they help me because what I've been saying this whole
00:01:16time is she is a calculated evil person.
00:01:18And those screenshots show that.
00:01:21With only three commitment ceremonies remaining, the stakes have never been so high.
00:01:28I'm just excited for the next four weeks and see where we end up.
00:01:31I do see a future with her, unfortunately.
00:01:35I love you.
00:01:36Yeah, put me on the spot a little bit.
00:01:38But are all of our couples on the same page?
00:01:44Um...
00:01:46If you're so terrified of making someone pregnant, maybe just do a snip.
00:01:50It's the sensitive topic...
00:01:52Has anyone heard of condoms?
00:01:54...that will leave some divided.
00:01:56It's reversible.
00:01:58But it's a procedure.
00:02:00...before Stella's blindside...
00:02:03...threatens to tear apart the experiment's strongest couple.
00:02:07If I'm being honest with myself and with Philip...
00:02:12...this is a breakup.
00:02:14No.
00:02:17Will Gia reveal her evidence against Beck?
00:02:20We do not like you.
00:02:21Don't lie about me then.
00:02:22You're trying to make me look bad.
00:02:23You're interrupting our couch session. Shut up.
00:02:26And...
00:02:26I don't think this experiment is for me.
00:02:30What causes not one...
00:02:32Jules.
00:02:33No.
00:02:33Did you just hear that?
00:02:34But two participants to storm out.
00:02:37She's gone.
00:02:53It's the morning of the fifth commitment ceremony of the experiment.
00:02:57And despite the intensity of the week...
00:03:00...our couple's connections have become even stronger.
00:03:04Gosh, you're torn.
00:03:07I'm really grateful for you.
00:03:13After reluctantly finding themselves in the spotlight at the retreat...
00:03:18...last night's dinner party helped Rachel and Stephen regain their strength as a couple.
00:03:24Yeah, I'm feeling good about us and...
00:03:27Yeah.
00:03:27You know, the dinner party wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be.
00:03:31I feel like we came out really, really good.
00:03:32And also a bit of PDA in front of the group, babe.
00:03:35Happy New Year.
00:03:37Happy New Year.
00:03:38Happy New Year.
00:03:39Yay!
00:03:43I was a happy girl.
00:03:46Like...
00:03:46Yeah.
00:03:47Very, very happy.
00:03:48Last week at retreat, like...
00:03:50It wasn't just one of us coming under, like, that humiliation.
00:03:54It was our relationship and we had to work through that as a couple.
00:03:58And what that really showed me is when there are trying times, we can work through that.
00:04:05And that's really, really reassuring.
00:04:07Yeah, I'm feeling good about us and, uh...
00:04:09Hopefully we can move forward and no more hiccups.
00:04:12But at the same time...
00:04:13It feels like there's still, like, you know, some awkward tension simmering at the top.
00:04:19I don't know if Juliet maybe wanted to say more to Beck or...
00:04:22I hope not.
00:04:24Can I just say, my husband and I are done.
00:04:28We're done talking about retreat.
00:04:30On that note, I think we should make some coffee.
00:04:32Thanks for that.
00:04:34You want a coffee?
00:04:35Yes, please.
00:04:36No worries.
00:04:37Oh, my gosh.
00:04:38He's never done this before.
00:04:46The pressure of the retreat also took a toll on Beck and Danny.
00:04:52Who came close to leaving the experiment for good.
00:04:56But through it all, they found resilience in their relationship.
00:05:00And to lift spirits, today, Danny has a small surprise for Beck.
00:05:05So I've got you a card and your favourite chocolate bar.
00:05:10You're so cute.
00:05:13And it's got a gift in the card.
00:05:18There's two date cards which can be cashed in any time.
00:05:21You're so cute.
00:05:25You're so cute.
00:05:29Me and Beck, we've never been in a better place than at the minute, you know, we're in a really
00:05:33good place.
00:05:34We're really united, really strong.
00:05:37And yeah, things are really progressing well for me and Beck, so it's nice.
00:05:41I am so happy that we didn't leave.
00:05:44I left the retreat thinking there was more hate than there was love, so I'm really glad that we chose
00:05:50to stay.
00:05:50Yeah.
00:05:51Last night, I was really, really anxious before going into the dinner party.
00:05:55I was obviously apprehensive going in, not knowing what I was going to, not knowing what I was getting into.
00:06:01Didn't know if Juliet was going to attack again.
00:06:04And even though Jira and Juliet sat on the couch and didn't come up to us, there was more love
00:06:10in that room for us than there was hate.
00:06:12I think it went well. I was a bit disappointed with the apology. She tried to fluff around it.
00:06:18For me, when it comes to Juliet, I do not want anything to do with her.
00:06:25I accept her apology on the surface, but we will never, ever, ever, ever be friends.
00:06:32I think Juliet apologised because the experts were watching.
00:06:36My delivery and me calling you names was disgusting and vile, and I definitely should have not done that.
00:06:43But in the heat of the moment, I felt angry.
00:06:47Just kind of felt like, you know, you were speaking for Rachel's relationship and saying that they were in a
00:06:53massive fight.
00:06:55The argument at retreat was between Rachel and I, and Juliet's excuse was, I was standing up for Rachel.
00:07:02No, honey. You weren't standing up for Rachel. This is just the crux of who you are.
00:07:08Beck and Danny aren't the only couple reflecting on Juliet's behaviour last night.
00:07:13I'm so stoked and I'm so relieved that Juliet didn't pop off at Beck, otherwise I was going to step
00:07:21in because it was getting a bit too much.
00:07:22So, I'm really thankful that we didn't have to get to that point, and Juliet actually articulated herself well.
00:07:28She apologised, she seemed genuine, and yeah, I'm glad it didn't escalate.
00:07:33Yeah, I thought it went well.
00:07:35I wouldn't go as far as saying I'm proud of Juliet.
00:07:37I feel like she fucked up the exact same way two times back to back, and kind of still had
00:07:42a lot of buts and rebuttals to everything last night.
00:07:45Well, for me, I'm proud of her. She's my friend, so I'm proud of her.
00:07:49You're allowed to be proud of her.
00:07:50Yeah.
00:07:51I'm just saying that, like, I just feel like I'm going to keep her at arm's length because I still
00:07:55just don't trust her much at the moment.
00:07:57I see it as a small step that she apologised, and she didn't go back to the old Juliet, and
00:08:02for that reason I'm proud of her.
00:08:03So, I'll stick with that.
00:08:05Yeah.
00:08:05Yeah.
00:08:06You don't have to have the same opinion as me.
00:08:07No, no, I didn't say I had to. I'm just telling you I'm proud of her.
00:08:10Yeah, yeah.
00:08:10Yeah, cool.
00:08:19I'm just feeling defeated, I guess.
00:08:23Juliet has woken this morning, still upset about last night's intense dinner party.
00:08:31It was just me being empathetic for Rach's situation and feeling it, like, in full force.
00:08:38Like, that's what I do as an empath. I feel people's pain in full force, and I take it on.
00:08:45Which, like, I probably should have not done for someone who was just going to help kick me down a
00:08:51bit further.
00:08:51And that's what I felt like Rach did.
00:08:54Like, I feel like I would never, ever, ever help to, like, humiliate and shame someone who stood up for
00:09:02me in any degree, really.
00:09:04I just feel like I've been, like, a rock for so many people this week.
00:09:10And when time came to it, I didn't see those people around me.
00:09:17The only reason I have this situation with Bec right now is because I've been defending others all week over
00:09:24it, feeling their hurt and joining in on it.
00:09:26Like, I'm here to be a rock and an empath to people.
00:09:31I just hope to get the same back sometimes.
00:09:35Have you spoken to Gia since last night?
00:09:38Um, she's checked in on me this morning.
00:09:40Do you think you guys will be okay going in?
00:09:43Yeah, I definitely love her.
00:09:45I'm right or die for Gia.
00:09:47Do you think Gia's still right or die for you?
00:09:50Yeah, I mean, her texting me this morning to check in.
00:09:53And I've also got a missed call from her.
00:09:57Like, that's really nice.
00:09:59And I love her and I miss her.
00:10:00And I think when I saw that, like, tea stream down my face, because I really, really, really, really love
00:10:05her.
00:10:08If someone has bitched about Gia, yeah, like, I'm done with them.
00:10:11And, obviously, that gets me caught in other situations.
00:10:17It's my character, though.
00:10:18I'm a right or die for my friends.
00:10:29As the commitment ceremony draws closer, our couples are all getting set to face the experts.
00:10:43But for one participant, tonight's focus has been shifted to exposing another bride in the experiment.
00:11:00Gia has been sitting on some damning text messages written by Beck.
00:11:07But instead of planning to reveal the messages herself, Gia has chosen to share the text messages with another participant.
00:11:17That is the end of the film.
00:11:21That is the end of the film.
00:11:22That is the end of the film.
00:11:25That is the end of the film.
00:11:29That is the end of the film.
00:11:31That is the end of the film.
00:11:33That is the end of the film.
00:11:34That is the end of the film.
00:11:35That is the end of the film.
00:11:35That is the end of the film.
00:11:35That is the end of the film.
00:11:36That is the end of the film.
00:11:37That is the end of the film.
00:11:37That is the end of the film.
00:11:38That is the end of the film.
00:11:38That is the end of the film.
00:11:40That is the end of the film.
00:11:45you look stunning as always thanks so to you for that ceremony I know a bit interesting at the
00:11:52moment though I gotta say why what's wrong last night I was talking to Juliet I showed
00:11:58her some screenshot of some things that Bec's been saying using disgusting language so then
00:12:05I actually was getting my nails done and when I walked into the nail salon Bec was
00:12:10leaving the nail salon and started talking shit about Juliet so I called Juliet and I said hey
00:12:16just letting you know I ran into Bec she said this and she's like cool well I'm sick of this
00:12:20bitch
00:12:20talking about me so she's gone and printed out some screenshots so that if the experts come at
00:12:26her for using that language I'm sure Bec will deny using that language and go oh I don't talk like
00:12:31that Juliet will probably just drop a screenshot of Bec saying language like that I don't agree
00:12:38with the language Juliet used I think it was a bit inappropriate and too far but the screenshots
00:12:43show that Bec is very comfortable using that kind of language so I don't know like I don't know what
00:12:51way it's gonna go tonight some things in the message that were really disgusting back has gotten away
00:12:55with a lot of shit in this experiment she's done a lot of things wrong by a lot of people
00:12:59some of
00:13:00them are still unaware that she's done this behind closed doors so I think the screenshots if they
00:13:05are aired out they help me because what I've been saying this whole time is she is a calculated evil
00:13:11person and those screenshots show that I don't blame Juliet she's she's now got them in her hands and
00:13:18she's gonna do what she's gonna do with them so if Juliet feels that she needs to do this tonight
00:13:23then Juliet should do this shit yeah well no I don't know what to expect could blow out proportion
00:13:33that's for sure whatever happens happens yeah nothing's gonna affect us so
00:14:03good evening good evening gentlemen hello welcome gents hello hello good evening welcome
00:14:24hello ladies and gents hello hello hey Bob darling we go
00:14:43welcome everybody to the fifth commitment ceremony now it has been a very eventful week for all of you
00:14:50coming off the back of a couple's retreat now we do this task and it is a pivotal one every
00:14:59single
00:14:59time during the experiment so that we can see how you operate as couples outside of your normal environment
00:15:08and how your relationship sustains a different type of pressure certainly from the dinner party that
00:15:17occurred last night the group has experienced some division we will look at this as well as the
00:15:28individual couples that sit here tonight to find out exactly how you're traveling along but also
00:15:35particularly to get you to think about the very important question of whether or not you can take this
00:15:42relationship from the experiment into the real world and on that note let's get our first couple up
00:15:58how you're going hello hello welcome all right you two well why don't we kick off with the couples retreat
00:16:11how was it
00:16:13do you want to talk do you want to talk yeah go oh um i don't know it was quite
00:16:20chill for us well
00:16:21throughout the days obviously no throughout throughout the days i look at the good stuff
00:16:27like it was just a lot the retreat to be honest it was just really emotional
00:16:30i think a lot of us are drained from it to be honest can you tell us a little bit
00:16:34about what
00:16:35you experience and how it's affected your relationship uh to be honest it hasn't affected
00:16:41our relationship any of the drama i it hasn't at all we've been like he even said the last two
00:16:46days
00:16:46like we're the closest we've ever been i think like you know he's called me his soul mate at the
00:16:52dinner party like i just want to focus on like the positives because i've been involved in drama
00:16:57too much and it's taken a toll on me to be honest i just don't want to focus on it
00:17:02anymore to be honest
00:17:03i think we're near the end and everyone's focusing and should be focusing on our relationships and
00:17:07that's what we're doing and i think when we shut out all that drama like we're even better we're great
00:17:14that's just other it's got nothing to do with us it doesn't affect our actual relationship
00:17:20because what we have together is real and that's all that matters so respectfully for them too i
00:17:24won't talk to them anymore that's because i want to carry on my relationship and i think it's not
00:17:27good we interact because all it does is bring drama to us were you and danny friends we were
00:17:34like it does suck because we had a good friendship but well that's that's one of the things that you
00:17:38know we need to bring up what we saw at the dinner party was that you've actually had to
00:17:44lose a friendship as a as a result of some of the drama exactly when i walked in the dinner
00:17:50party with
00:17:51beck scott didn't get up to even acknowledge we were in the room i was just a bit disappointed that
00:17:57as a man and as a gentleman you didn't get up to say hello to me and my wife we're
00:18:03doing that so we
00:18:04aren't involved in drama anymore it's difficult you know at the retreat you yelled out at me that i'm
00:18:08a liar in front of people so like how do you expect my husband's going to react to that you
00:18:12lied
00:18:12about me as well yeah but we're trying to move forward and you're interrupting our card session
00:18:16shut up
00:18:29you lied about me as well yeah but we're trying to move forward and you're interrupting our card
00:18:34session shut up
00:18:41we don't care anymore okay we didn't say hello to both of you because we do not like you either
00:18:47don't lie about me so we're not going to go say hi fake how are you enough not doing it
00:18:52we're done
00:18:53all right let's go back to scott and jia yes please thanks i just want to move on my relationship
00:18:59because that's all that that's all we care about that's what i came here for i didn't come here for
00:19:03high school i came here to find the love of my life and that's it but to be fair your
00:19:12involvement
00:19:13in the drama has been there right throughout the experiment so we've got to hold you to account and
00:19:20say there is a reason why there's drama swirling around the two of you what you're saying now is that
00:19:27you're making a concerted decision to move away from it right do you think you can do that last
00:19:36dinner party i didn't say anything and i should have and i didn't so i wanted to back juliet and
00:19:41i i
00:19:42i just i said to myself i can't get involved anymore i can't get involved so jia how's your relationship
00:19:50being able to move forward through this conflict and not collapse under that pressure i'll just
00:19:58ignore the shit also our i feel like our connection is too strong like there's no way and this just
00:20:06proves it to me all the shit can get thrown at us and and it our relationship doesn't change
00:20:11well i do like and i i told you john when i met you what i was after and i
00:20:16said my number one thing is
00:20:17i've never had a man back me in my life so when he does this like yeah like this is
00:20:25all i asked for
00:20:27i've just never had like a soul connection like this in my life like i don't think much
00:20:31could waver it to be honest so have you fallen in love with him i'm not saying that john
00:20:39what are you waiting for him yeah because i feel like he knows where i'm at
00:20:45and i need him to say it first to be honest
00:20:50for me like i don't know what it is like i don't know whether i'm scared or it's fear i
00:20:54don't know
00:20:55what it is maybe i'm just pressured to force that love quicker than what it should be for me i
00:21:01just
00:21:01there's something in my mind like i just i need more of this outside world in before i can really
00:21:06give
00:21:06that true love but i know i'm getting there i know it'll probably happen so have you two talked about
00:21:12the future and specifically what your relationship would look like we've spoken a lot about we've
00:21:17been looking on real estate we've been looking at houses and like i got a quote from a mover already
00:21:20like i'm like we're doing it yeah we have like we've already looked at areas and places to get a
00:21:27house and stuff because i need to get a bigger place but i have to say that i really have
00:21:33enjoyed how
00:21:35raw and honest you've been tonight with us and uh had each other's back and you're very invested in
00:21:41one another and uh that's what we love to see so on that note we're going to go to the
00:21:47decision
00:21:48i think we're pretty unshakable and i'm really excited to move forward and see what the future
00:21:53holds for us so i've got the stay and i've got the gold coast look at that manifesting aren't you
00:22:00yeah yeah i am actually we're just i don't know we're so freaking good like there's not much to say

00:23:11uh shall we start the couples retreat and then just move forward from there beck sure uh what's
00:23:21your take on what happened at the couples retreat and how it landed for you um i made a poor
00:23:28choice
00:23:29in words in a speech on the first night and it was a distasteful joke that was not
00:23:35meant maliciously and i've apologized to rachel and steven a number of times um
00:23:43i didn't say it expecting to upset rachel and i understand why it did and um i'm sorry to you
00:23:52both
00:23:52again from that came
00:23:58a really bad few days for me personally um
00:24:05it just turned into sort of a pylon a little bit i was isolated and
00:24:11you know one day i was just in bed crying for hours
00:24:16so yeah it was hard for me it opened my eyes to maybe you know when i have been
00:24:23curt and unkind to people in the past at the beginning of this how that may have felt for
00:24:27alissa for example and that's just awful but through that hardship came something so beautiful
00:24:36and i could actually say thank you to those girls because what they did was made my relationship
00:24:42tenfold stronger and us so much closer because he didn't leave my side and i could depend on him
00:24:52so as a couple this really pressured situation that you're under has actually taken you to another level
00:25:03tell me how confident are you that you know this has the legs to actually go into the real world
00:25:13look i've got to be honest i'm scared i am i'm scared and what are you scared about i'm scared

00:27:52i don't even know what to say to that
00:28:01you don't have to reply i can't cope
00:28:10it's extreme
00:28:14uh danny how did it feel to hear that
00:28:17Yeah, it feels good. I'm shocked that she's just told me in front of everyone, but yeah, it feels good.
00:28:23Sorry, shall I have to save that for a special moment?
00:28:25No, no, of course not. You can say it whenever you want, but yeah, I guess I'm just a bit
00:28:31thrown right now.
00:28:33So, Danny, I know that you're shocked, absolutely, because you weren't expecting that tonight,
00:28:39but in saying that, what does it do to you to hear that?
00:28:48I don't know how to answer for how does it make me feel.
00:28:51Does it make you feel happy? Does it make you feel scared? Does it make you feel nervous?
00:28:55It doesn't make me feel scared, to be honest with you, because why would it? Do you know what you
00:28:59mean?
00:29:00Like, I think that's a bit of a... It just makes me feel happy, but not scared at all.
00:29:05It doesn't make you feel like you want to do a marathon and run, right?
00:29:07No, I'm not the type of bloke to do that.
00:29:10I don't think that Daniel's at that place, but I would be lying if I wasn't honest with you right
00:29:18now.
00:29:18That's how I feel. I'm scared. I'm really scared to feel this way.
00:29:23It's really scary for me.
00:29:27It's really adulting. It's really adult of me, and I... Yeah, it's... Yeah.
00:29:32And this is why I'm nervous, because my feelings are so strong, and I just want it to work out.
00:29:40It's what I want.
00:29:44Well, look, on that note, it has been an incredibly difficult week for you, but, wow, you've had huge revelations
00:29:55tonight.
00:29:56We want to go to the decision, stay or leave.
00:30:00Bec, I'm pretty sure I know where this is headed.
00:30:02L-E-A-B-E. No, I'm just kidding.
00:30:04Um, yeah. Please don't run away from me.
00:30:09I won't. Relax.
00:30:10Well, I wrote, stay.
00:30:13Lovely.
00:30:14And I wrote, thank you, boo, for his support at retreat.
00:30:18Oh.
00:30:20And for you, Danny.
00:30:23And tonight, I'll put...
00:30:26Stay with a love heart.
00:30:28That's cute.
00:30:30Well done, guys. Very, very powerful.
00:30:33Well done.
00:30:33Thanks so much.
00:30:33Powerful decision.
00:30:34Have a great week.
00:30:35You can go back to the group.
00:30:36Thanks, guys.
00:30:37Congratulations.
00:30:42Thank you, boys.
00:30:43Thank you, too.
00:30:45Thank you, too.
00:30:45Oh.
00:30:50Put the pressure on me, why don't you?
00:30:55Oh.
00:30:56I didn't know Bec was going to come out with that.
00:30:59You're in front of the whole experts, the group.
00:31:01Um, yeah, it put me on the spot a little bit, but I think I dealt with it well.
00:31:06No, then run away, right?
00:31:07No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
00:31:09no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:31:09I don't feel that you should tell someone you love them unless you truly mean it.
00:31:13Um, love's a massive thing, and it's a word that shouldn't be chucked around loosely.
00:31:17Um, so, look, she could tell me 10,000 times, but I don't feel that I'm not going to say
00:31:21it back.
00:31:31Our next couple up on the couch tonight.
00:31:40Rachel and Steven.
00:31:47Go, Bestie. Go, Bestie.
00:31:49Hello.
00:31:50Hello.
00:31:53Oh, yeah.
00:31:56Comfy lounge.
00:31:59You two had a big week.
00:32:02Oh.
00:32:05Yeah, the retreat.
00:32:06The gift that keeps on giving.
00:32:09And the relationship-going places tell us about everything.
00:32:13Ah, you heard about that, did you?
00:32:15We were observing the dinner party and the cocktail party.
00:32:18The word gets around here, doesn't it?
00:32:19Well, yes.
00:32:20Okay.
00:32:22Um, we'll start before the retreat.
00:32:24Um, you know, me and Rachel were, uh...
00:32:30You know, I'm doing well.
00:32:34It was a passionate moment.
00:32:37I felt connected with Rachel.
00:32:39How passionate.
00:32:40It was really nice.
00:32:42I got that part.
00:32:45I got that part.
00:32:46It was like, I've known, like, Stephen has expressed from many weeks ago that to increase intimacy would mean that
00:32:57he would need to feel more of an emotional connection to me.
00:33:01So it was really special because he obviously felt that with me, so, yeah, it was a nice connecting moment
00:33:13and I just really felt I could just feel our relationship start, like, take this trajectory.
00:33:19It was, yeah, it was really nice, really connecting, but we've only increased intimacy that one time.
00:33:39Um, okay, so, um, obviously the next day was sort of the retreat.
00:33:48And this is where it all unfolds a little bit.
00:33:52So, um, Rachel expressed our good news to the group and there was a comment that was made, um, sort
00:34:03of in bad taste and, uh, Rachel, um, was really upset by the comment and it was just three days
00:34:12of carnage, really.
00:34:14Um, the retreat for me and Rachel was meant to be a sort of a getaway and a redemption from
00:34:20our honeymoon and it pretty much deteriorated from day one and, you know, night after night, um, you know, Rachel
00:34:30was, you know, sort of really upset and I guess to answer the question, um, yeah, the last thing I
00:34:37felt, you know, I was going to do is pull moves when Rachel was really sort of hurt.
00:34:41And I just, yeah, we just, yeah, we just didn't, weren't in that mood.
00:34:50So, obviously we did hear from the cocktail and dinner party what the comments made were.
00:34:55And I guess my question to you, Rachel, is why did it have such a big impact that it lasted
00:35:01three days?
00:35:04So, we are talking about the comment that Beck made, correct?
00:35:07Yes, yes, yes, yes.
00:35:09Um, yes.
00:35:11In the moment that the comment was made now, I understand it wasn't made with malice, it wasn't made to
00:35:16make me feel any type of way.
00:35:18However, because I had shared, I chose my language very carefully when I shared with the entire group, that wording
00:35:27right at the end, it just felt like it cheapened it.
00:35:30I felt humiliated.
00:35:32So, it just, yeah, it just became this really big thing and it just didn't mean to be.
00:35:38Looking back and how I feel on that, I definitely was influenced by the information that was given to me.
00:35:45By whom?
00:35:46100%.
00:35:46By Juliet and Gia.
00:35:52After reflection, I feel like I've been used as a pawn in something that is, there's still a rift between
00:36:02Juliet, Beck and Gia.
00:36:04And I feel like this situation kind of allowed them to, like, have something else to fuel up about.
00:36:14That's how I feel now.
00:36:16Yeah.
00:36:19So, you feel like Juliet and Gia used you as a pawn as a way to generate more drama with
00:36:26Beck because there's been clearly, um, a rift there in their relationship.
00:36:33To be fair, when Beck did make these comments with me, I said I didn't want any part of it.
00:36:41Beck was coming to me with this stuff.
00:36:43I said I didn't want the drama and she would cover her mic and say even more stuff about it.
00:36:48It's just a fabricated story.
00:36:49While I had her crying to me, I can't, I cannot.
00:36:51I did not want any of this.
00:36:53I was trying to not engage in it.
00:36:55She was coming to me with it.
00:37:01And so, this is, I guess, where I don't know.
00:37:05That's honestly just how I was feeling.
00:37:07I just didn't know what was real and what was real being told to me.
00:37:13What wasn't.
00:37:14And, yeah.
00:37:18Um, with it, it's just been a really emotional time.
00:37:21I call it the retreat hangover.
00:37:23Um, and it's just.
00:37:25That's a pretty good description.
00:37:26And it did interfere a little bit with our relationship.
00:37:32It called things off intimacy-wise, but in terms of our relationship, I felt like we got stronger
00:37:40as a couple because it was like, yes, there was a lot happening with our relationship.
00:37:47Like, you know, it felt like there was a lot outside doors about talking about our relationship.
00:37:52But when I was really upset, like, I just wanted my husband and he was there and we were really
00:37:57connected that way.
00:37:59It just wasn't like intimacy.
00:38:03What's it like that for you, Stephen?
00:38:06At the moment, yeah, the intimacy thing is just not there.
00:38:09But I'm still close and connected with Rachel.
00:38:12I'm still comfortable.
00:38:13I mean, we're still having, you know, good dates together and we're having fun together.
00:38:18We're laughing.
00:38:18So, you know, it's still good.
00:38:21I'm confident.
00:38:22Yeah, we're, we haven't gone backwards.
00:38:24I love the giggles.
00:38:25Oh, it's gorgeous.
00:38:27Love it.
00:38:32With that, let's go to the decision.
00:38:35Um, Rachel.
00:38:37Yeah.
00:38:39Stay or leave?
00:38:40Um, look, this week was just so easy for me and there's no way a man can call me a
00:38:45wonderful
00:38:45woman at a dinner party and not have me stick around.
00:38:49Simple as that.
00:38:54And Stephen?
00:38:55Uh, well, um, you know, we've come a long way in this experiment.
00:38:59I'm very happy with, uh, the direction it's, uh, going and, um, I was going to draw a nice
00:39:05little picture for you to show how much I liked you, but I realized I can't draw.
00:39:10So, I wrote, stay.
00:39:13Oh, the little fish.
00:39:15Come fishing with me.
00:39:16She's a good catch.
00:39:19I will say this, big steps in the right direction on many fronts for the two of you
00:39:26this week.
00:39:27That step that you've already taken to getting more physically close and more physically
00:39:32comfortable, you're going to want to repeat.
00:39:35And I, and I really hope that that is a bit of a goal in terms of just really focusing
00:39:39on
00:39:39the things that bind you together and things that will help nourish that bond that you're
00:39:44constructing.
00:39:45So, focus on that in the next week.
00:39:47You can go back to the group.
00:39:50Well done, you guys.
00:39:51Good stuff.
00:40:00Oh.
00:40:03Coming up.
00:40:04And then I just said, oh God, I love you.
00:40:11This can't be true.
00:40:15At the moment he doesn't see Sidney as a possibility to move and in my head, this is a breakup.
00:40:22And then.
00:40:24Express to me what your point is.
00:40:27You should be careful when I have screenshots of what you've said about Alyssa and David.
00:40:34Vile.
00:40:35It was vile.
00:40:49Our next couple tonight.
00:40:55Sam and Chris.
00:40:57Let's go.
00:40:59Hello.
00:41:01Hello.
00:41:02Welcome.
00:41:03How are we doing?
00:41:05Well, how was retreat for you guys?
00:41:08It was good.
00:41:10I was always going into the retreat with the intention that I would make the next move.
00:41:15But there was a lot going on.
00:41:16So, when we got back from the retreat, as he was unpacking, I just went into the bedroom
00:41:21and said, hey, Chris, come in here for a second.
00:41:24And, um, wait, no.
00:41:25I was actually doing my laundry in my underwear.
00:41:28Yeah, yeah.
00:41:28I had, like, all my clothes.
00:41:29And he's like, Chris, come in.
00:41:30I was like, yeah, what?
00:41:30Like, you know, and I was like, oh, right, okay.
00:41:33It's a bit short with me.
00:41:36Um.
00:41:36And he made business.
00:41:38He made business, yeah.
00:41:39Yeah, we broke the friend zone.
00:41:41So, we're out of the friend zone.
00:41:42Excellent.
00:41:44Proud mama.
00:41:45Always, always.
00:41:47Yeah.
00:41:48So, let me ask you this, Sam.
00:41:50Mr. Slowburn.
00:41:52That's not what we call him, is it?
00:41:53No, no, no.
00:41:54Not anymore.
00:41:55No, not anymore.
00:41:57Do you feel, um, you're still burning slow?
00:42:01Um, right now there's feelings.
00:42:03I won't deny that because I wasn't going to act on any intimacy until there was.
00:42:07So, that's a clear sign that there was.
00:42:08You know, I turned to you in the retreat and I said, like, I think of you as my boyfriend.
00:42:12And, like, like, that has, is what's changed, I guess, or has developed is probably a better word.
00:42:18And what about your feelings, Chris?
00:42:20Um, yeah.
00:42:21So, my feelings, uh, for Sam have been pretty strong since I met him.
00:42:25Like, that's who I am.
00:42:26And I'm like, yep, cute, you know, tick, six foot, like, tick, blah, blah, blah.
00:42:30Um, so, yeah.
00:42:32Six foot three.
00:42:33Six foot three.
00:42:34Um.
00:42:37And are you starting to think about life outside the experiment?
00:42:41I think what it would probably look like is just, like, say we go, well, everything ticks
00:42:45the boxes, we'd have a place in Sydney.
00:42:47So, he'd go to Sydney.
00:42:48I would stay primarily at the farm and then maybe we can float back and forth for a bit
00:42:53from Sydney to the farm.
00:42:54Oh, someone's been thinking about this.
00:42:55Quite a bit of detail.
00:42:57I think, I think that's what it would look like if, if we are successful and I want us
00:43:01to be successful.
00:43:02But he has a lot of stuff to do in the city, whereas I'm, like, cool to be at the
00:43:04farm full
00:43:05time.
00:43:06Um, and I'm just excited for the next four weeks on this experiment and see where we end up.
00:43:11Well, we're going to go to a decision.
00:43:13Cool.
00:43:15Today, I wrote, stay.
00:43:18Yes, you did.
00:43:19I'm not yelling.
00:43:19It's just I'm very excited to be here.
00:43:21Very loud.
00:43:22Love it.
00:43:23Loud and proud.
00:43:25Yeah.
00:43:25Beautiful.
00:43:26And you, Chris?
00:43:27Okay.
00:43:27Pretty obvious.
00:43:28I also wrote, stay.
00:43:30Oh.
00:43:31Well, well done.
00:43:32Thank you so much.
00:43:33You guys.
00:43:34Woohoo!
00:43:37Thank you guys so much.
00:44:00Hello, you two.
00:44:01Hello.
00:44:01Hey.
00:44:02How's it going?
00:44:04We're going well, but we're more interested in how you guys are going.
00:44:08Oh, okay.
00:44:09I can't shake him off.
00:44:10She can't kick me off her leg.
00:44:12Are you trying?
00:44:13I can't.
00:44:14Well, do you know what?
00:44:15I have tested.
00:44:16Yeah, I'm just being honest.
00:44:18I've tested.
00:44:19I've tried to shake him off and he won't leave.
00:44:20So, you know, he likes it.
00:44:23He obviously likes the challenge.
00:44:25I know this is very cute and playful, but do you like it?
00:44:30I'm not going to lie.
00:44:32It's not like, I won't say I like it, but I can handle it.
00:44:36She is obviously more of a storm and I'm calm.
00:44:41And for some reason, like, you know, I'm just so pulled towards that storm.
00:44:46But I find, like, I'm able to harbor that storm and it doesn't get to me.
00:44:50I even get happy talking about it.
00:44:52So, yeah.
00:44:54I can't explain it.
00:44:56So, Alyssa, you know, when you initially talked about some of the questions you've got around David and whether he
00:45:05challenges you,
00:45:06is it fair to say now that you're seeing his character, his calmness as being something that...
00:45:13It's challenging me.
00:45:15It's challenging you, but also that you're actually responding really well to.
00:45:18It actually is.
00:45:20Like, it's because it's a new thing for me to overcome.
00:45:23And it's a good thing.
00:45:26I know that I, you know, I'm a bit of a menace sometimes, I'm a bit loud, and I can
00:45:31be challenging, but he's a pillar.
00:45:35He's a strong, safe place.
00:45:38It's another reason why I'm still drawn to Alyssa.
00:45:42It's because I know I'm good for her.
00:45:44I think we balance each other out really well.
00:45:46David, how do you feel about Alyssa?
00:45:50I feel like I'm still falling for Alyssa.
00:45:52I don't think anything's changed.
00:45:54Like, I do see a future with her.
00:45:55And I want her to know that she can't scare me off.
00:45:59Like, it doesn't scare me at all.
00:46:01I'm falling for you.
00:46:04Alyssa, how does that feel to hear that?
00:46:06It's really nice.
00:46:07Yeah.
00:46:08Like, it's really nice.
00:46:09Well, with that being the case, let's go to the decision.
00:46:13Like I said, I am falling for you, Alyssa.
00:46:16And, you know, I like every part about you.
00:46:18The bad, the good, the ugly, and...
00:46:21And the fun.
00:46:22And the fun.
00:46:22The fun.
00:46:23A lot of fun.
00:46:24Everyone can attest to that.
00:46:25She's a ball of fun.
00:46:27And I'm looking forward to seeing how the rest of this goes.
00:46:31So, yeah.
00:46:34Today, great stuff.
00:46:36Alyssa, what you got for us?
00:46:39Oh, well, I can't shake him off.
00:46:41Like, he's just hanging in there.
00:46:43So I've decided to stick around.
00:46:46Love it.
00:46:47Stay.
00:46:50And on that note, go back to the group.
00:46:51We will.
00:46:52Well done, guys.
00:47:04All right, let's get our next couple up.
00:47:09Stella and Phillip.
00:47:11Yay.
00:47:16Hello.
00:47:16Hello.
00:47:17Hello.
00:47:20Wow.
00:47:20A pre-emptive tissue grab.
00:47:22I'm coming prepared.
00:47:23Yeah.
00:47:24I'm coming prepared.
00:47:24Noted.
00:47:26I am curious.
00:47:27Why the tissue grab?
00:47:30I'm in a very sensitive mood.
00:47:35Yeah.
00:47:36Yeah.
00:47:36I sense that.
00:47:37So, what's going on for you?
00:47:40Um.
00:47:42It's okay.
00:47:44I think it all kind of unravelled when Phillip confessed his feelings.
00:47:58Conversations got really heavy, really, really quick.
00:48:02Uh, so, the last commitment ceremony, Alessandra was saying, look, I don't understand the confusion
00:48:09here.
00:48:09You're dancing around.
00:48:10Talk about how you feel.
00:48:13Why don't you just tell her?
00:48:14So, uh, that night I told her, you know, come over here.
00:48:18Come sit down.
00:48:19She thought she was in trouble.
00:48:21And then I just said, look, I, I, I love you.
00:48:27I'm feeling it, you know.
00:48:30And it felt good saying that.
00:48:32And you're right.
00:48:33You were right.
00:48:33Just express it.
00:48:34Just say it if you're feeling it.
00:48:38Stellar, what specifically did that feel like for you, hearing that?
00:48:45I went into self-preservation mode.
00:48:49Um, and I think my big fear of abandonment came up to play.
00:48:55Okay.
00:48:57And, yeah, I, I don't know, but that reaction surprised me.
00:49:04Stellar, did you tell Philip that you loved him back?
00:49:07I did in my own long-winded way.
00:49:13What does that mean?
00:49:16Um.
00:49:22Philip, did you receive an I love you?
00:49:25She's just, like, sent a long-winded way of saying it.
00:49:30So, Philip has shared to you that he has deep feelings for you.
00:49:36He's falling in love with you.
00:49:37He sees a future with you.
00:49:41What specifically did that feel like for you, hearing that?
00:49:52It felt...
00:49:56This can't be true.
00:50:04What's it going to take for you to believe Philip?
00:50:08I don't know.
00:50:09I, I...
00:50:11I think...
00:50:13..I do have an amazing human as my partner who understands me.
00:50:18But the fact that he lives in Melbourne, I live in Sydney,
00:50:23this is going to be an issue for me.
00:50:28At the moment, he doesn't see Sydney as a possibility to move.
00:50:33Then in my head, this is a break-up.
00:50:41So, from your perspective,
00:50:43Philip needs to move to Sydney or it's off.
00:50:47If...
00:50:50If I'm being honest with myself and with Philip...
00:51:00It seems like that.
00:51:03You know...
00:51:21So, from your perspective,
00:51:23Philip needs to move to Sydney or it's off.
00:51:31If I'm being honest with myself and with Philip...
00:51:41See, it seems like that.
00:51:43Yeah.
00:51:49I, I see it as a catch-22.
00:51:53At the end of the whole experiment, you go back to Melbourne and I feel like I can not love
00:52:01a man that's going to leave with me.
00:52:03So, unless he gives me clarity, I can't be like, yes, I love you, too.
00:52:13Philip, how does that feel to hear that?
00:52:15Um, I think that's unfair because everything from day dot is, I'm in Sydney, uh, this is what's happening, just
00:52:25get on my program, this is it, it's like, this needs to happen or it's not going to work.
00:52:30That's a lot of pressure, yeah?
00:52:32The relationships come with conditions straight off the bat.
00:52:36So, it is very difficult for myself, you know?
00:52:44Sometimes she does talk to me in a certain way, that takes me down a peg.
00:52:49Give us an example, for instance.
00:52:52Like, questioning masculinity because, you know, like, me not wanting to go out after a massive week.
00:53:00And to start to turn around just going, well, that's very feminine, what you're saying.
00:53:08That's a very feminine thing to do.
00:53:11Sometimes you just need to go and do what you don't want to do because that is the masculine thing
00:53:15to do.
00:53:16And just saying that I'm not masculine.
00:53:20That's very harsh.
00:53:23It's not a masculine energy, it's just a go energy that women and men can have.
00:53:27To tell him that it's feminine and it's really attacking his masculinity.
00:53:32Yeah.
00:53:33I'm not sure if you're aware of the impact that words like that can have.
00:53:39I don't want to push him away, but, like, that's what kind of happens in the background.
00:53:44I start to pick on him.
00:53:47So, it's like defense mechanism, I think, for me.
00:53:51I wouldn't like that to, I wouldn't like to deal with me in those moments.
00:53:59I have one question that pops to mind that I'm curious about.
00:54:03How is the physical intimacy with one another?
00:54:09It's just not happening.
00:54:13Just not happening.
00:54:15Just a few short weeks ago, it was a very different story from both of you in that respect.
00:54:21With all the stuff mentally that was going on, I felt like a little bit, you know, underappreciated and all
00:54:28this kind of stuff.
00:54:28I'm like, well, why would I want to have sex like her?
00:54:30I don't feel like her right now.
00:54:35The thing is, I'm not on any birth control, and he's terrified for an accident to happen.
00:54:44Oh, that's very easily solved.
00:54:47Birth control.
00:54:50I don't want to take tablets, personally.
00:54:54I was like, hey, if you're so terrified of making someone pregnant, maybe just do a snip.
00:55:08So, um...
00:55:09Has anyone heard of condoms?
00:55:10Yes, I was going to say, in the meantime, it's very easily solved with a trip to the pharmacy.
00:55:15Condoms, yeah.
00:55:16I, yeah, I don't like it.
00:55:20The reality is that there is quite early to be making a decision such as that, especially if you're thinking
00:55:26you want children in the future.
00:55:27They're reversible.
00:55:29They're reversible, of course, but it's a procedure.
00:55:32Yeah.
00:55:33There are other alternatives where you can make this work.
00:55:36That really shouldn't be the factor to bring you guys apart.
00:55:41So, it almost seems like a little bit of an excuse.
00:55:47Maybe.
00:55:47To gloss over the disconnect.
00:55:50Maybe a little bit, because I've just been getting thrown around the mental ringer, so to speak.
00:55:57Yes.
00:55:57And I'm just like, do I even feel appreciated?
00:56:00Is this someone that I should really be attracted to and putting my sexual energy towards?
00:56:03Because I just don't, like, I just, I feel sometimes that I'm just taken for granted.
00:56:10That's pretty major to say.
00:56:13For me, it's just, I just need to feel like I'm fully emotionally wanted.
00:56:17Like, someone's 100% into it.
00:56:19Then I can fully give 100% of myself to them.
00:56:22That's exactly what was happening early on from Stella, I felt.
00:56:26And sometimes, as this experiment's been going on, there's just been little glimpses where I've seen that she's not into
00:56:32it sometimes.
00:56:35And it just kind of gets in my head a little bit, and I just withdraw a little bit of
00:56:39that attention, you know, until I get it built back up again, and then I feel comfortable to do it
00:56:43again.
00:56:45You guys are at a really crucial stage of your relationship now.
00:56:50And the conversations that you're having are really, really important.
00:56:56Stella, before you say something to him, I want you to think about how's this going to land for him?
00:57:02How's this going to make Philip feel?
00:57:04Yeah.
00:57:05Before you deliver it.
00:57:07Yeah.
00:57:08Because my sense is, you might be having a few regrets.
00:57:11Has that been happening?
00:57:13Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:57:13Yeah, absolutely.
00:57:14After the fact.
00:57:15Absolutely.
00:57:15So let's try and eliminate that through self-awareness, which I know you have.
00:57:19Yeah.
00:57:20You guys have had a strong connection from the beginning, and have pretty much coasted through all the couch sessions.
00:57:27And there's a lot, clearly, that you hadn't been feeling like you could open up and talk to us about.
00:57:33So I think it's very productive that you have chosen to do that tonight.
00:57:36And I thank you both for that openness.
00:57:40And with all of this to consider and work on.
00:57:43Let's go to a decision for this week.
00:57:46Philip.
00:57:47Philip.
00:57:49So, that was a lot to take in.
00:57:51Yes.
00:57:51You know?
00:57:52And I'm glad that you just kind of told me what's on your minds.
00:57:55With that in mind, I'm going to be writing Stay.
00:57:58I love that.
00:57:59And Stella.
00:58:01Do you want to go?
00:58:03Yep.
00:58:03Um, I wrote Stay.
00:58:11We've got work to do.
00:58:12You've got a little work to do, yes.
00:58:14That's all right.
00:58:14Have a great week.
00:58:16Good luck.
00:58:16Very well done.
00:58:18Good luck.
00:58:20Good luck.
00:58:24That's a very good job.
00:58:26Yeah.
00:58:28Yeah.
00:58:30Self-preservation comes in.
00:58:31Of course.
00:58:32In me being a little bitch.
00:58:35Sorry.
00:58:36Sorry.
00:58:48Coming up.
00:58:50Jules.
00:58:52Jules.
00:58:53Tonight's dramatic conclusion.
00:58:55Don't touch me.
00:58:57I'm out.
00:58:58I'm out.
00:58:59I want to go back in a business.
00:59:01No.
00:59:02No.
00:59:12Last stop on the couch.
00:59:14Juliet and Joel.
00:59:21Hello.
00:59:23Hi.
00:59:24You two.
00:59:24Oh, hello.
00:59:29What's happening?
00:59:34What's happening with you guys last time at the commitment
00:59:36ceremony?
00:59:37Juliet, you wrote a stay.
00:59:41And Joel, you had written leave.
00:59:43Then there's been quite a turnaround.
00:59:48Perfect couple alert.
00:59:52Shaky.
00:59:53Shaky last time.
00:59:54It was shaky, yeah.
00:59:55It was really shaky.
00:59:57Um, we hit rock bottom.
01:00:00But, um, I think we've made quite a comeback.
01:00:03I have to say, I, um, I wasn't expecting such a strong, quick turnaround because the things
01:00:10that were said were so strong.
01:00:13Yeah.
01:00:13Um, that I can see how it would have been difficult to come out of that space, especially
01:00:20for you, Joel.
01:00:21Well, yeah.
01:00:22Like, what happened was the following day, um, Juliet came into my apartment and she was
01:00:27crying.
01:00:28And she apologized again.
01:00:31And I really felt like it was heartfelt.
01:00:34And, um, I accepted her apology.
01:00:37It was like a reset button.
01:00:40And so, yeah, we went pub crawling.
01:00:45This is what, you know, a couple of beers and a palmy does.
01:00:49Yeah.
01:00:50So, um, as we progressed through the pubs, um, there was a certain warmness that was brewing.
01:00:58And then we went back to the apartment and vibes were good.
01:01:01One thing leads to another and, uh, a bit of hooking up, you know?
01:01:06It's a little bit of hooking up.
01:01:07It's a bit of hooking up.
01:01:08Mm-hmm.
01:01:09Such a go.
01:01:10And that was nice.
01:01:12Mm-hmm.
01:01:12I think we had a lot of kiss chemistry.
01:01:14The kiss chemistry was strong.
01:01:16Yeah.
01:01:17Yeah, it flipped.
01:01:19Like, I feel like the next day we both kind of texted each other and were like, what was
01:01:23that?
01:01:23Like, I, I, yeah, I completely saw Joel in a completely different line.
01:01:29Started feeling like I could trust him and I could feel like I wanted to be close with
01:01:33him and, like, kind of, yeah, touch his leg.
01:01:35And, like, yeah, I guess when we did retreat, I was like, why don't we give it a crack?
01:01:40Like, why don't we sleep in the same bed and see if there's chemistry inside the bed?
01:01:45And, yeah, it feels like he was, like, giving protector energy, which is another thing I'm
01:01:50attracted to.
01:01:52I think, like, Joel is brilliant in so many ways.
01:01:56There's just, you know, in a time of crisis when I'm feeling like I'm in a situation, I just hope
01:02:06that I would have more of a rock by my side.
01:02:11When did you need that from Joel specifically?
01:02:14When we had the dinner party, um, you know, when I was apologising to Beck and Danny for
01:02:22my crude words, um, I feel like the conversation was going on a lot longer and I kept trying
01:02:31to apologise to defuse it, defuse it, defuse it, and, um, I just kind of wanted Joel in
01:02:36that moment to just be like, look, she's apologised and taken accountability, like, I think we can
01:02:41take a pause.
01:02:43And so I just kind of feel like I was fighting for myself a little bit and I admire how
01:02:48Danny
01:02:48was standing up for his wife and being there by Beck's side.
01:02:52And I see Scott do it for Gia as well, you know, multiple times, and David doing it for
01:02:59Alyssa and, and I just feel like I just didn't get that.
01:03:08What do you say to that, Joel?
01:03:10I felt like Danny and Beck were respectful to Juliet.
01:03:16I felt like they were giving her a fair shake.
01:03:19Like, so I didn't feel the need to step in.
01:03:23If they were coming at her and attacking her and hurling insults at her, I would have stepped
01:03:29in.
01:03:30I just didn't see that.
01:03:32And I think Juliet has a different perspective on what happened.
01:03:40From everything that happened last week.
01:03:42Yeah.
01:03:43That was called out by Joel because he was on the receiving end of that.
01:03:49Why did you call Beck the names that you called Beck?
01:03:54Why choose again to use very aggressive, very vicious, very vile deliveries towards somebody
01:04:04else?
01:04:07I guess what I saw was the exact same behavior, simply a different target.
01:04:13Mm-hmm.
01:04:14So why choose to go there again?
01:04:22Honestly, I've seen Beck say much, much worse.
01:04:28In the same category, multiple times to multiple people here.
01:04:31Does it matter?
01:04:32We're not talking about his behavior or about Beck.
01:04:35I know, but that's why I felt comfortable doing it to Beck.
01:04:45Why do you think Beck gets so under your skin?
01:04:50Um, because I think she gets away with a lot of her bad behavior.
01:04:54Um, I haven't seen her take accountability for some of the things.
01:04:58She also claims, she'll tell you one thing and then when you address it, she'll claim you're
01:05:03lying, that gets under my skin and I explode, really pisses me off.
01:05:09Sorry, you called me a dumb effing and an effing freak multiple times.
01:05:15There we go.
01:05:16Point, sorry, excuse me.
01:05:17Express to me what your point is.
01:05:20This is why I feel angry.
01:05:22Because you've done the wrong thing and you constantly say, but, but, but, but, but.
01:05:26Um, you should be careful with how much you are upset about me saying that.
01:05:34When I have screenshots of what you've said about Alyssa and David.
01:05:47Vile.
01:05:48It was vile.
01:05:50It was vile.
01:05:52You said.
01:06:12You should be careful with how much you are upset about me saying that when I have screenshots
01:06:19of what you've said about Alyssa and David.
01:06:22Vile.
01:06:23It was vile.
01:06:24It was vile.
01:06:26You said.
01:06:37It's disgusting, babe.
01:06:39Express to me.
01:06:40That express to me what your point is.
01:06:42This is why I feel angry.
01:06:43This is why I feel angry.
01:06:44What are you trying to prove?
01:06:46You're trying to make me look bad.
01:06:47You get away with everything.
01:06:49What have I done to you personally to deserve that?
01:06:51You try to trap me into these conversations.
01:06:53No, it's how you try to get into my head.
01:06:57I'm not, I'm not talking to you about it anymore.
01:06:59Thank you guys.
01:07:00You bully me.
01:07:03And I was not part of that.
01:07:07Juliet.
01:07:09So, how do you have screenshots?
01:07:22Gia sent them to me.
01:07:30What?
01:07:34Why would you do that, Gia?
01:07:36She asked what she was like, so I sent some screenshots of, like, conversations.
01:07:40I don't look great in them either.
01:07:43She's so stupid.
01:07:44And then I heard that you were excited that I was going to get up on the CC couch.
01:07:50Like, that's a, that's such an evil thing to hope for.
01:07:54She said that to Gia at the nail salon.
01:08:00I didn't say she's going to get up.
01:08:01I said, she's up, babe.
01:08:03I said, you said dumb.
01:08:06She said, you're going to get in trouble for saying dumb.
01:08:09I said you were going to be held accountable for the way in which you spoke to me.
01:08:13Yeah, that's such an evil thing to hope for.
01:08:16And that's why we came up with a plan of, let's address the screenshots then.
01:08:21This is the time to use it.
01:08:28So, it was a plan.
01:08:31Just to be clear, Gia, you sent the screenshots to Juliet with the intent that it be used against
01:08:37Beck in her argument.
01:08:40I said bad things in there too.
01:08:41I didn't really want them out.
01:08:44It just shows that me calling her a DC is, it shouldn't have not been out, like, blown
01:08:53up into such a big thing when she's done much worse.
01:09:03Wow.
01:09:04Can I please give you some insight?
01:09:06Of course.
01:09:08You could not be further from the truth.
01:09:13It is shocking that you would think that.
01:09:16Yeah.
01:09:19It makes you look so much worse.
01:09:22Okay, for sure.
01:09:23Than Beck.
01:09:25It's like conscious retaliation with the purpose to hurt.
01:09:40And again, you know, I'm still, I'm covering, I'm covering up so much.
01:09:46I'm covering up so much.
01:09:47I just don't, I don't think this experiment is for me.
01:09:50I don't.
01:09:55Gia, what the f***?
01:10:02Jules.
01:10:12Jules.
01:10:18Jules.
01:10:20No, f*** off.
01:10:21Jules.
01:10:22Did you just hear that?
01:10:26Jules, talk to me.
01:10:27F*** off.
01:10:30Jules.
01:10:31Done.
01:10:32You're such a dog.
01:10:34You're actually a pig.
01:10:35You're a dog and a pig.
01:10:37Hey, Jules.
01:10:38That was really, yeah.
01:10:39Jules, what's going on?
01:10:41No.
01:10:42What's going on?
01:10:43I'm going home.
01:10:44What's going on?
01:10:45Why are you going?
01:10:45Because you just literally, don't touch me.
01:10:50I'm going back to Melbourne.
01:10:51Where are you going?
01:10:52You just completely threw me under the bus.
01:10:53How?
01:10:54Yeah.
01:10:55Disgusting.
01:10:55I have to be honest.
01:10:59I have to be honest.
01:11:01I'm so evil.
01:11:02What are you talking about?
01:11:03So evil.
01:11:04F*** off.
01:11:05Jules, come on, stay.
01:11:06We've got to.
01:11:07Oh my God, ew.
01:11:08It's unresolved.
01:11:09You can't just leave.
01:11:10Are you leaving?
01:11:11Yeah, I'm going back to Melbourne.
01:11:13Go away.
01:11:14What do you mean?
01:11:15Come on, come on.
01:11:16Stay at work.
01:11:17Come on.
01:11:18Jules.
01:11:37It's got a cold out of the water.
01:11:40Should I check if they're all right?
01:11:42Hmm?
01:11:42Should I check if they're all right?
01:11:43Sure.
01:11:45To me, I also think she's off of you.
01:11:47I feel like she's going to come back and come for me because I didn't work out.
01:11:49She can't.
01:11:54She can't.
01:12:02She can't.
01:12:11Screenshot what was that you are something else man
01:12:18Who me? It's not nice to hear but obviously like you know
01:12:24I don't think we should get into it anymore

01:13:50I showed screenshots to a girlfriend sue me like
01:13:55Sorry Bec's talking shit about me nonstop to everyone
01:13:57Focus is never on me and Scott
01:13:59It's about everyone else around me and Scott
01:14:01It's not fair
01:14:04Oh you're not Gia
01:14:06You
01:14:51Come and grab a seat.
01:14:53Yes, Joel.
01:14:56It's all you, Joel.
01:15:03Did you speak to her?
01:15:05Juliet did what Juliet does.
01:15:08She stormed out.
01:15:10She's gone.
01:15:14And that's such an extreme decision.
01:15:20Leave the experiment.
01:15:22So that's very revealing.
01:15:25What did she have to say?
01:15:29She called me a dog and a pig.
01:15:32No.
01:15:35I'm really sorry you had to listen to her call you names after you were so clearly enthused
01:15:44with what seemed to be progress and better direction.
01:15:50I thought I would give her a chance, right?
01:15:55I think you've been incredibly generous to her given how she's behaved, not only towards
01:16:01you but towards others in the experiment.
01:16:04Joel, you are no doubt a flamboyant and charismatic character.
01:16:09And some people might say you're an acquired taste.
01:16:12But what you've done throughout this experiment, you've been yourself.
01:16:18You've never wavered on that.
01:16:19And particularly what I admire about you is that you have owned everything that you've
01:16:25done.
01:16:26Regardless, you've never deflected it.
01:16:29You've just taken it on and said, this is me.
01:16:31I'm proud of who I am.
01:16:33You've been consistent throughout.
01:16:35You have maintained incredible integrity.
01:16:39You're to be commended.
01:16:40Thank you very much.
01:16:41I appreciate that.
01:16:43We've been sitting here watching you week after week thinking, this man is carrying so
01:16:49much.
01:16:51I think it would have been really hard.
01:16:54It's been an absolute pleasure having you in the experiment.
01:16:58We really wish you all the very best for the future.
01:17:02Thank you, Joel.
01:17:08Join the group.
01:17:18Where is she?
01:17:21Where's Gia?
01:17:29Where is she?
01:17:31She's gone.
01:17:33No, she's not.
01:17:35What do you mean?
01:17:37She grabbed her stuff before and she passed her over.
01:17:41You're right.
01:17:43Hmm.
01:17:50I just had a great couch session.
01:17:53Like, we have so much going for one another.
01:17:58But sometimes other girls and their bullshit can interfere.
01:18:04I'm just a bit jittery.
01:18:05I don't know.
01:18:06I don't know.
01:18:09You can't leave like that.
01:18:12Like, we're falling for each other.
01:18:17I'm not going to sit here without her.
01:18:18So, yeah, I want to go get my wife.
01:18:48I'm not going to see you.
01:18:49I don't know.
01:18:50I don't know.
01:18:50It's all here.
01:18:51What I just read was disgusting.
01:18:54What happens when Bette comes face to face with David
01:18:58after those text messages?
01:19:01The comments were wild, disgusting, like mean and vicious.
01:19:04But how do you know what they were?
01:19:06We've seen them.
