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.
00:14:05Good.
00:14:05It's comfy.
00:14:07Ooh.
00:14:08Oof.
00:14:09Well, these soaps are all right, aren't they?
00:14:20Welcome, ladies.
00:14:22Hello.
00:14:24Good evening.
00:14:28I'm so glad I'm beside you, too.
00:14:30How are you doing?
00:14:33Oh, 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,
00:15:11because 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 that things are a little tense between you right now.
00:16:04So let's go back in time to the wedding and go from there.
00:16:12So on the wedding day, I was really hoping for me to walk down the aisle, someone to turn around,
00:16:20and me to be like, that's my person.
00:16:27But that isn't what I got.
00:16:28Right.
00:16:31And as I was walking down the aisle, all my friends and family turned around,
00:16:36and they were sort of like, what 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 that 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, so we had to turn the limo around and go back and get them and
00:17:32then head back in.
00:17:34But I had the attitude going into the honeymoon, let's just be as positive as we can.
00:17:39Let's try and just, like, make 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 to just push me away.
00:17:55Yeah, I've just found every day I just, for some reason, it 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 was that there was really two Mel's in the
00:18:16room.
00:18:20The one that was with the sisterhood or other people in the group, you 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, which was hard for us to watch.
00:18:46Yeah, it's, the thing is, I shouldn't have been mean about it.
00:18:52It's just that I thought that Luke had feelings for me and because I wasn't feeling the same, I just
00:18:57wanted 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.
00:19:15But 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, that 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, 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.
00:20:21I just wanted to feel that spark.
00:20:24But I just couldn't feel it with Luke.
00:20:32Yeah.
00:20:33Alright.
00:20:34Well, this is why we've asked you these questions.
00:20:37It's because you need a wake-up call.
00:21:05It's 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.
00:21:40If 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.
00:22:02And 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.
00:23:36Oh, 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 an almost an ignorant part of me didn't want to believe that it wasn't ever going to
00:25:06work.
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.
00:25:18So, even though, like, it has been so tough and everything with us,
00:25:31I don't want to leave it on that note.
00:25:35I think that's great.
00:25:37Yep.
00:25:38Oh, my God. Wow.
00:25:41Oh, my God.
00:25:43I love you.
00:25:46Yes.
00:25:47Oh, 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, I feel bad.
00:26:36So, as we know with the rules of this experiment, that if one person says stay, the other says leave,
00:26:42then they stay for another week to see if they can turn it around.
00:26:47Now, 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 and I really want to prove to Luke that I'm
00:27:07not a mean person
00:27:08and I'm not a bad person.
00:27:10And we 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, you 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.
00:27:36OK?
00:27:37OK.
00:27:37There's no pressure.
00:27:38Just have fun.
00:27:39Enjoy each other's company and get to know one another.
00:27:42As though this is day one of your relationship.
00:27:46All right?
00:27:47Tough session.
00:27:48You did well.
00:27:49Back to the group.
00:27:50Well done, guys.
00:27:54Yay!
00:27:55Give me your hope, mate.
00:27:59I see this as my genuine last crack at giving this a shot.
00:28:04So I'm keen to take what they've said on board and get to know Mel again with a good energy.
00:28:11How are you feeling?
00:28:13I'm feeling shocked.
00:28:15All right, though.
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.
00:28:38Gia 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 good.
00:28:53Let's go to the decision.
00:28:54Shall 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.
00:29:06It's crazy.
00:29:07Like, the moment we saw each other at the wedding, like, both of us straight away were, like, just stoked
00:29:11with who we got.
00:29:13Yeah.
00:29:14It was a feeling I haven't had before. It was pretty crazy.
00:29:15Yeah.
00:29:16Like, I felt this instant connection, like, our chemistry just went off the bat and it just, yeah, it was
00:29:21unreal.
00:29:24Um, and then she pulled me aside and told me about her daughter.
00:29:28Yeah.
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.
00:29:46Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:29:47For picking up on that.
00:29:49But you want, you want to talk?
00:29:50Because I...
00:29:51Well, I think...
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.
00:29:57Well, I'll 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. We gave in on the honeymoon.
00:30:15And it was so great.
00:30:17And, like, since then, we've obviously, like,
00:30:18we've slept together literally every day since then.
00:30:19Multiple times.
00:30:22You know, when you start, you can't stop.
00:30:26Yeah, we'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.
00:30:39The chemistry, yes.
00:30:41We can feel it from here.
00:30:42Yes, I love that.
00:30:43It's palpable.
00:30:44Like, he just ticks all my boxes
00:30:46and 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, for him, I think.
00:30:55Yeah.
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,
00:31:04I could get out with her right now and we're sweet.
00:31:05I can see that, yeah.
00:31:07Yeah.
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.
00:31:22I'm not leaving.
00:31:24I'm not leaving.
00:31:27Beautiful.
00:31:28Honestly, this is not something we see very often,
00:31:31this kind of synergy, this kind of just really intense,
00:31:34high-energy enthusiasm, this early on, this experiment.
00:31:37So, for now, keep doing what you're doing,
00:31:39keep being curious, keep 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, Bec and Danny.
00:32:05Woo!
00:32:08Woo!
00:32:08Woo!
00:32:10Woo!
00:32:16Hi, guys.
00:32:17Hello.
00:32:17Hello.
00:32:18How's it all going?
00:32:20Look, we, um...
00:32:22It 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?
00:32:45Yeah.
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
00:33:08and there wasn't that chemistry, I'd probably just do a runner.
00:33:12Do 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.
00:33:23Yeah.
00:33:24For the card challenge, I sort of brought it out
00:33:27and 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
00:33:33because I'd sort of made her cry.
00:33:35Do you know what you mean?
00:33:35But I'd done some reflection and I was like,
00:33:38it lit a fire in my belly, to be honest with you.
00:33:40But it's getting so much better.
00:33:42So much better.
00:33:44This has been transformative for us this week.
00:33:47Yeah.
00:33:47Like, I just have to remember that patience is key,
00:33:50with intimacy.
00:33:52And also, everyone works at a different pace.
00:33:57Well, I've got to say, you've been faced with a couple of challenges.
00:34:01You've approached them with some maturity, an open mind,
00:34:05willingness to change and to challenge yourself and 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.
00:34:31And I love that you're starting to sort of create some cracks there
00:34:35in the veneers and open up to each other a little bit more.
00:34:38That's it.
00:34:40I think we're going to go to a decision.
00:34:42Let's do it.
00:34:43We'll start with you, Danny.
00:34:48Right, so nice easy one, but yeah, I'll put it straight.
00:34:53Brilliant.
00:34:58And to you, Bec.
00:35:01This was an easy one for me.
00:35:03So I said stay, of course.
00:35:05Of course.
00:35:08Love it.
00:35:09Well done, you guys.
00:35:11Very impressed.
00:35:18Well done, guys.
00:35:19Thanks.
00:35:21Not fake.
00:35:21There it is.
00:35:22What?
00:35:24No.
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.
00:35:47No one has said that.
00:35:49Don't sit up here and make yourself be the victim.
00:35:52I'm f***ing feeling bitch.
00:36:02Let's get our next couple up on the couch.
00:36:07Rachel and Steven.
00:36:09Ha ha ha.
00:36:10Ha ha ha.
00:36:12Ha ha ha.
00:36:16Oh.
00:36:18That was quite the chuckle.
00:36:20There it is.
00:36:22There it is.
00:36:23There 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.
00:36:46I was just so nervous.
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,
00:37:02it was messy, it was unpolished, it was funny,
00:37:06and I wouldn't want it any other way.
00:37:12Yeah, it was just, I don't know, it was like the goofiness just ensued.
00:37:16It was a lot of fun.
00:37:19It was a lot of laughter.
00:37:20A lot of laughter.
00:37:22Like a lot.
00:37:23Yeah, we started off on a really big high,
00:37:26and even though we had a couple of kick-ups on the honeymoon
00:37:30with Revelations Week...
00:37:31Can I hold your hand again?
00:37:33No.
00:37:35We're getting closer and closer
00:37:36and shown and we're connected emotionally.
00:37:40We've got this relatability as well
00:37:43and it's a bit heartbreaking too
00:37:44because we do share a common thing with body image.
00:37:50Yeah, watching Stephen's audition video
00:37:53brought up a lot of emotion for me.
00:37:55It hurt my heart to hear what he had experienced
00:37:59and that relatability of, like,
00:38:02what 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 and 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,
00:38:24your playfulness is definitely something
00:38:26that we loved about the two of you.
00:38:28Rachel, now it's a good time to ask,
00:38:30how 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
00:38:44and 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
00:38:57is the most selfless person I've ever met.
00:39:00She's my number one fan.
00:39:01Like, you are amazing.
00:39:04You are so special.
00:39:06And I really hope that we're going to move
00:39:08in the right direction
00:39:09and we're going to get there.
00:39:10Oh, my God.
00:39:13Come on.
00:39:15Awesome.
00:39:16Beautiful.
00:39:17Yes.
00:39:21All right, well, we're going to go to a decision.
00:39:23Yes.
00:39:25Rachel, we'll go to you first.
00:39:26OK.
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.
00:40:04I almost died up there.
00:40:07Oh, well done.
00:40:10Well done.
00:40:18Let's get our next couple up.
00:40:25Steve and Rebecca.
00:40:31OK.
00:40:32Do you want this high or that's...
00:40:33I don't know.
00:40:33Let's just sit.
00:40:34Let's just go.
00:40:34OK.
00:40:35OK.
00:40:35All right.
00:40:36How's it going?
00:40:37Very happy.
00:40:39Nothing wrong with the wedding day,
00:40:42the connection, everything.
00:40:46It'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 all the ****.
00:41:03Then I think we built a friendship very quickly
00:41:05during 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, I...
00:41:23Yeah.
00:41:24Yeah.
00:41:25Yeah.
00:41:26Yeah.
00:41:26Yeah.
00:41:27Yeah.
00:41:27Yeah.
00:41:39I want to look into this, Rebecca,
00:41:41because I know how big of a deal it is for you.
00:41:45Yeah.
00:41:46With your history and the time that you have spent by yourself
00:41:49not being in a relationship.
00:41:51The foundation of you've got to build friendship very quickly
00:41:54in this experience.
00:41:55Yeah.
00:41:55Yeah.
00:41:55And I think we built that very quickly.
00:41:56I would love to hear from Rebecca.
00:42:04Well, I think at the moment we have a rock-solid foundation
00:42:08and I respect that.
00:42:09I get it.
00:42:12But I haven't had a relationship or been in a relationship
00:42:15for eight years.
00:42:16The whole reason I'm here is because I want to find my person.
00:42:21I'm craving affection
00:42:24and I want to feel like I'm desired by my partner.
00:42:28But, like, I'm very attracted to Steve.
00:42:31And 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
00:42:37and with the romance.
00:42:41I'm more conservative, so it is a slow pace with me.
00:42:47But do you feel that sense of attraction to her,
00:42:51of wanting to lean into that romantic feeling with Rebecca?
00:42:55Do I now?
00:42:57Have you, since you've met her and in this experience?
00:42:59As I said, the progress, it was 100%.
00:43:01And do you not know?
00:43:03Since you've just made the distinction, do you not know?
00:43:08Yes, I do.
00:43:09Yes, I still do.
00:43:13Yes, that's the answer.
00:43:22Why is he saying it?
00:43:24I don't know.
00:43:26You pretend that it's all good.
00:43:31Can I ask, Rebecca,
00:43:33has Steve made you feel desired?
00:43:39Don't hold back.
00:43:48No.
00:44:01Can I ask, Rebecca,
00:44:04has Steve made you feel desired?
00:44:09Don't hold back
00:44:14No
00:44:19So there is that doubt that Steve does look at me
00:44:25Other than just like I don't want a friend
00:44:27I don't need another friend
00:44:28I didn't come here to make friends
00:44:31Do you think he looks at you as a friend at the moment?
00:44:35Yeah, absolutely
00:44:42I'm scared now, to be honest
00:45:00Because now I'm freaking
00:45:01Yeah, I know, but now I'm scared of the rejection
00:45:03Don't be
00:45:05Kiana, that's my biggest fear is being rejected
00:45:11Look, I know that we're both in this position
00:45:14Because 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
00:45:23Like I'm terrified
00:45:25Like I'm terrified of rejection from Steve
00:45:30Say the truth
00:45:31Say the truth
00:45:34I'm just
00:45:36I would like to think I'm being respectful
00:45:38I know this is an experiment
00:45:39But I think we're going as fast
00:45:43Well, I'm going as fast as I possibly can
00:45:57She has just told you though
00:45:58That she looks at you as more than a friend
00:46:01She's very attracted to you
00:46:04Yes
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?
00:46:28I 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
00:46:42I'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?
00:46:57Let's go with you first, Steve
00:46:59Yeah, yeah
00:47:01There's so many amazing qualities to Rebecca
00:47:03So, yeah, I'm definitely not going anywhere
00:47:07So, yeah, stay
00:47:09And what about you, Rebecca?
00:47:12What you got for us, stay or leave?
00:47:17Um...
00:47:18I'm going to...
00:47:21Stay
00:47:21You can go back to the group
00:47:29Alright, well done
00:47:39It was confronting, yeah
00:47:43Not easy up there, guys
00:47:45Like I said, I don't need another friend
00:47:46I'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 alright?
00:47:56Yeah
00:48:03Let's get our next couple up
00:48:08Chris and Brooke
00:48:14Hello, hello
00:48:15Hello
00:48:16How are you?
00:48:17Hi, welcome
00:48:18Thank you
00:48:20How are we going?
00:48:21Hey
00:48:21How are we doing?
00:48:23Good
00:48:23Nervous
00:48:24A little bit
00:48:25A little bit
00:48:27How are you going?
00:48:29Well, yeah
00:48:30Nice try
00:48:32We're actually wondering about what you're nervous about
00:48:36I think it's been a pretty bit of a rollercoaster
00:48:43After the ceremony
00:48:45I was not sure about Chris
00:48:49Your vows were a little bit naggy at the time
00:48:53He said that there is a 0.0000001% chance that this is going to work
00:49:01Wow
00:49:02So I was a bit like, what are you doing here?
00:49:09So Chris, did you not have faith in 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
00:49:25Oh
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 you were a little unnerved
00:49:39Yeah, I was
00:49:40And it probably wasn't until day two
00:49:41That we started to get a deeper connection
00:49:44And I could actually see something that could start to evolve
00:49:48So we went into Revelations week thinking 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 icks 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?
00:50:52I took full responsibility for that video
00:50:58Me, 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
00:51:05I've been in this environment
00:51:07Where it sort of promotes this sort of behaviour
00:51:16Okay, I want to go there with you
00:51:18Why is it inappropriate to talk about women in that way?
00:51:25It's degrading
00:51:27Correct
00:51:29That sends a message to women
00:51:31That you're not respecting them
00:51:34You're looking at them as objects that 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, and 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 be a better person and change
00:52:04I think
00:52:05You know, as much as it did set us back
00:52:07I, you 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, Chris
00:52:21I think mine's pretty obvious
00:52:23I'm staying
00:52:24Yeah
00:52:25Cam, 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
00:52:40All right, and with that, you 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
00:53:15Ops
00:53:26Let's get our next couple up
00:53:32Julia and Grayson
00:53:39Hey guys
00:53:40Hello
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, look at us
00:53:47Technicolor dream
00:53:49Yeah
00:53:49Love it
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
00:53:55Yeah, we are pretty comfortable
00:53:56Tell us
00:53:57How are things going?
00:53:59Really 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
00:54:08Everything sort of slowed down for me
00:54:09And put me at ease
00:54:10And I felt safe
00:54:13I love that
00:54:13Yeah
00:54:14It was just mind-blowing
00:54:17As you know, I'm a bisexual woman
00:54:19So 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 that are aligned
00:54:35You know, he is very open-minded
00:54:36And this is something that I really value
00:54:40About Grayson, you 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 it absolutely is
00:55:07But I, you know
00:55:10I don't want to get caught in that space
00:55:12I want to be able to shift into a romantic place
00:55:16And that takes both of us
00:55:18You know, Jules made it very clear on our wedding night
00:55:20And said, look
00:55:21I'd like to take this slow, very slow
00:55:23And I said, well
00:55:23If that's what it's going to take
00:55:25I've got all the time in the world to fall in love
00:55:28But I 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 how that feels for you
00:56:29Look, it's, 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
00:56:43Would I have liked it to be a little further down the line?
00:56:46Yeah
00:56:46But
00:56:47I mean
00:56:49If I see
00:56:51Small steps
00:56:53Taken daily
00:56:54Or, you know, if I see us
00:56:55Sort of
00:56:56You know
00:56:57Progressing
00:56:58And, and
00:56:59So is there progression?
00:57:00I wonder
00:57:01Is there romance between you?
00:57:03Um
00:57:04I wouldn't say at this point
00:57:05There's, there'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 actually, I'd love to say that like
00:57:25Yeah
00:57:27It, it'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
00:57:40I really need to feel emotionally safe
00:57:42And connected
00:57:45So
00:57:47Yeah
00:57:47I, I 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
00:58:04Is that a fair call?
00:58:08No
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
00:58:13Talking purely about you Jules
00:58:31I 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
00:59:04I on 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
00:59:24Um look
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 so
00:59:43I think that there may have been
00:59:45Some sweeping under the rug
00:59:46Because I didn't actually know
00:59:48That Grayson was feeling
00:59:50Some of these things
00:59:51And
00:59:51I think that's something
00:59:53That we should
00:59:54Chat about more
00:59:55Um
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
01:00:23Yeah
01:00:23Yeah
01:00:24I believe
01:00:25We're both having
01:00:26Giving this a good nudge
01:00:28Um
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
01:00:32Challenging 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
01:00:42Um
01:00:44Well
01:00:44There's so much here
01:00:46That I want to continue
01:00:47To explore
01:00:47So it's a stay
01:00:49Yeah
01:00:50Woohoo
01:00:52Wonderful
01:00:53And to you Grayson
01:00:55Yeah
01:00:55Um
01:00:55Look
01:00:56I have had so much fun
01:00:57And I want to give this
01:00:58Everything I've got
01:00:59And so yeah
01:01:00I chose to
01:01:02Stay
01:01:02Yay

01:01:40Hello
01:01:41Hello
01:01:42Hello
01:01:42Hello
01:01:42Hello
01:01:43Welcome to meet you guys
01:01:44I see
01:01:45Yes
01:01:47Get a little snuggle
01:01:48Prepare yourself to be here for two hours
01:01:56All right
01:01:57Where are we going to start
01:01:57How are things right now
01:02:00Things are fantastic
01:02:02I don't know how you guys did it
01:02:04You guys are wizards
01:02:05But like
01:02:06You guys nailed everything
01:02:08Ah
01:02:09When I saw her walking down the aisle
01:02:11Straight away I was like
01:02:12You nailed the look
01:02:14What is her personality like
01:02:16Um
01:02:17Then the first thing she did
01:02:18When we did our vows
01:02:19Is she
01:02:19She said she wasn't going to marry me
01:02:22Until I got down on one knee
01:02:24And proposed
01:02:28Um
01:02:29Straight away
01:02:30Sorry
01:02:30It was a big move from you
01:02:31It was a ballsy move
01:02:33I know
01:02:33It was a ballsy move
01:02:34It was
01:02:35But
01:02:36I love that because
01:02:37She just showed me that
01:02:39She's direct
01:02:39She's sharp
01:02:40She's honest
01:02:45And that's something I've asked for
01:02:47She
01:02:49I didn't know that
01:02:50I know it's early days
01:02:53But I care for Alyssa a lot
01:02:54You know I definitely have feelings for her
01:02:57The amount of things that
01:02:59We're literally the same in
01:03:01Is crazy
01:03:02So you guys literally went
01:03:03Aligned
01:03:03Ticking like boxes
01:03:05Values
01:03:05Religion even
01:03:07Yeah
01:03:07Like in our childhood
01:03:08And our upbringings
01:03:09And it's just nuts
01:03:10And just listening to that
01:03:11It sounds like you've been asking each other
01:03:13A lot of questions
01:03:14We've literally been staying up
01:03:15Yeah
01:03:16Late hours just talking
01:03:17Getting curious
01:03:18So curious
01:03:19But also like
01:03:20You know
01:03:21Just skipping bullshit
01:03:24She sounds like an infomercial
01:03:26Selling hair products
01:03:29Desperately at 3am
01:03:30When you're TV
01:03:35This is fantastic
01:03:36We're going to go to the decision
01:03:37Let's
01:03:38Let's go with you first
01:03:39Alyssa
01:03:40Stay or leave?
01:03:42Capital stay
01:03:43With a smiley face
01:03:44Because I'm really happy
01:03:45Oh I love that
01:03:46And David
01:03:48Oh this was very tough
01:03:53Yeah I went with stay
01:03:56Fabulous

01:03:59You can go back to the good
01:04:00Okay
01:04:01Well done guys
01:04:13And last up on the couch
01:04:16Stella and Phillip
01:04:21Hello
01:04:22Hello
01:04:23How are you going?
01:04:23Hello guys
01:04:24Hello you two
01:04:25Hi
01:04:26Welcome
01:04:27Thank you
01:04:28How are you both going?
01:04:31Yeah we're going great
01:04:33The wedding was unreal
01:04:35I saw her and I was just like
01:04:37Wow
01:04:38So instant attraction
01:04:41And I told her
01:04:42She's cool
01:04:43I got her
01:04:44And then
01:04:45Fast forward to the honeymoon
01:04:46And then we just started to realise
01:04:48That we see the world
01:04:49In the same way
01:04:49Family and friends
01:04:50Are super important
01:04:51We like similar music
01:04:52We eat the same food
01:04:54We go train
01:04:55And do all this kind of stuff
01:04:56And I'm fully into her
01:04:58Like I always tell
01:04:58Looking at her
01:04:59I'm kissing her all the time
01:05:01And it's kind of helped
01:05:02With you know
01:05:03Like there's different levels
01:05:04Of intimacy as well
01:05:05Like we've given each other
01:05:06Full body massages
01:05:07That have lasted an hour
01:05:08Longer
01:05:09Yeah
01:05:09God
01:05:12Blows
01:05:16Can I just make an observation
01:05:18We're sitting here
01:05:19And looking at you two
01:05:21Your eye contact
01:05:22Is unbelievable
01:05:24Yeah we do have a lot of that
01:05:26Like you directly stare
01:05:28Into his eyes
01:05:28So when you say
01:05:29You've got
01:05:30A high level of intimacy
01:05:32You can see it
01:05:33Yeah and like
01:05:35To be honest
01:05:35I kind of also
01:05:36Want to protect it
01:05:37In a way
01:05:38Yeah
01:05:40What do you mean?
01:05:43Just protect it
01:05:44For the time being
01:05:46Yeah
01:05:49I feel like
01:05:53Not everyone
01:05:54Likes your happiness
01:05:56Mmm
01:05:57Ooh
01:05:59Are you suggesting
01:06:00That some people here
01:06:01Find your happiness
01:06:03Difficult to swallow?
01:06:05It felt in the moment
01:06:07Yeah
01:06:08Are the red and green flags?
01:06:10There was questions raised
01:06:12You know
01:06:12As in like
01:06:12It wasn't authentic
01:06:13You know
01:06:14What we had
01:06:16That's me
01:06:19That was me
01:06:21What exactly are they saying?
01:06:23You know
01:06:23That me sitting on his lap
01:06:25And giving kisses
01:06:25At the dinner party
01:06:26Was like
01:06:27Wasn't authentic
01:06:29It was more of a performance
01:06:30Yeah
01:06:31Yeah
01:06:31And it really is not
01:06:33Like I'm here to show up
01:06:34For myself
01:06:34And for my partner
01:06:35Sure
01:06:36What?
01:06:39Also no one cares
01:06:40And we're not jealous
01:06:42Okay
01:06:42Who in the group
01:06:44Feels like
01:06:47This is a performance
01:06:48And it's not genuine
01:06:49I mean
01:07:17I mean look
01:07:20I'll be honest
01:07:23Feel like it was
01:07:24A little bit of a performance
01:07:25Because I was like
01:07:26Whoa
01:07:26This is very hot
01:07:27And heavy
01:07:28Very early on
01:07:30So
01:07:31I was like
01:07:32Wow
01:07:32Like
01:07:32Sounds too good
01:07:33To be true
01:07:34It wasn't like
01:07:35I was being like
01:07:35This is fake
01:07:38It was some of the comments
01:07:39Of we're looking at baby names
01:07:41And already falling in love
01:07:42With each other
01:07:43That seemed full on
01:07:47Do you know what
01:07:48I think you guys
01:07:49Are going to have babies
01:07:50And you're falling in love
01:07:52So let's move with positivity
01:07:54What anyone else thinks
01:07:56Because what you guys have
01:07:58You know is real
01:07:59And that's all that matters
01:08:02We're just doing our thing
01:08:03Like it's good
01:08:04And it should be good
01:08:05It should be fun
01:08:06And that's particularly
01:08:07The reason why
01:08:08I feel like
01:08:09I want to protect it
01:08:14I'm freaking fuming
01:08:21She's playing the victim
01:08:24I guess
01:08:25You know
01:08:25It's kind of sad to learn
01:08:26That at the age of 32
01:08:27I have to relearn
01:08:28That not
01:08:29Everyone is wishing you happiness
01:08:36But no one's saying
01:08:37That we're not happy for you
01:08:39Like no one has said that
01:08:41No one yesterday said
01:08:42That we're not happy for you
01:08:46So you don't sit up here
01:08:48And make yourself be the victim
01:08:49Because that's how it is
01:08:53Oh I don't know
01:08:54If she's being the victim
01:08:55I think that she's just
01:08:56Trying to express that
01:08:57There can be a bit of
01:08:58Mean girl energy sometimes
01:08:59And maybe she's just
01:09:01And vice versa
01:09:01Literally same though
01:09:06Don't worry
01:09:06I was called fake yesterday
01:09:08Two
01:09:12Alyssa shut up
01:09:13Because all you do
01:09:14Is speak with an infomercial voice
01:09:15Pipe down
01:09:16Okay
01:09:17No I'm just saying
01:09:18There were like
01:09:18Names called yesterday
01:09:20We're done with it
01:09:23You called everyone fake
01:09:25You roll your eyes
01:09:26At everyone
01:09:27Alyssa
01:09:27Far out
01:09:30Okay guys
01:09:31We'll just bring it back down
01:09:40You know the good thing though
01:09:41Stella
01:09:42By bringing this up
01:09:43Immediately
01:09:44I watch for Philip's reaction
01:09:46And his reaction is
01:09:48He's got your back
01:09:51And that's the thing
01:09:52I'm like
01:09:52I'm here to match
01:09:54His energy
01:09:55We do align
01:09:56On so many different levels
01:09:57And
01:09:58I said at the end of the day
01:09:59I'm going to give
01:10:00My heart
01:10:01Fully
01:10:01If I get hurt
01:10:03I get hurt
01:10:03That's going to be a lesson for me
01:10:04But I will not try
01:10:05To self-sabotage myself
01:10:07By
01:10:08Playing it safe
01:10:09Because I think
01:10:12For myself
01:10:14I'm not looking
01:10:14Anything less
01:10:15Than a soulmate
01:10:16Level connection
01:10:17So
01:10:18You think
01:10:19He could be
01:10:20A soulmate
01:10:21For you
01:10:25I think
01:10:26If we're heading
01:10:27The way we're heading
01:10:30Yes
01:10:34Definitely
01:10:34I feel the same as well
01:10:35Like yeah
01:10:36I feel really blessed
01:10:37To have been like
01:10:37Matched
01:10:38With Stella
01:10:38And it's amazing
01:10:40To see you both
01:10:41Thriving
01:10:42And growing
01:10:43And doing really
01:10:44What you're meant to do
01:10:45In this experiment
01:10:46Which is
01:10:47Be curious
01:10:48Learn about the other
01:10:49And find a way
01:10:50To come together
01:10:51So having said that
01:10:54Let's go to the decision
01:10:57And we're going to start with
01:10:59Philip
01:11:00Yes
01:11:01I've got no reason
01:11:02To go anywhere
01:11:03Right now
01:11:05We just got here
01:11:06So it's all right
01:11:07Starting up
01:11:08Thanks
01:11:08That's a strong state
01:11:09And Stella
01:11:11Oh
01:11:12We have a little
01:11:13Love heart
01:11:14Yeah
01:11:19Keep doing what you're doing
01:11:20You guys
01:11:21Thank you
01:11:34I'm not going to sit there
01:11:36And be happy for someone
01:11:37When they call out
01:11:37A story that didn't even happen
01:11:45Not one person
01:11:46Yesterday at the lunch
01:11:47Said they were unhappy
01:11:48For your happiness
01:11:50So don't put words
01:11:51In other people's mouths
01:11:52And make it out like
01:11:53We're not happy for you
01:11:55You also went around
01:11:56To everyone in the room
01:11:57Having your opinion
01:11:58Everyone had their opinion
01:12:00So don't
01:12:01That's what I'm saying
01:12:01Playing the victim
01:12:04Because you had your opinion
01:12:05As well as everyone
01:12:07Um
01:12:08Look
01:12:09I
01:12:09Think
