00:00:00 Previously, you've helped me grow and strengthen up and attune to what is true
00:00:05 and I'm holding space now for a really gorgeous husband and it's no surprise
00:00:10 that we're through. Lucinda and Timothy, the time has come,
00:00:14 gracefully bowed out of the experiment. We are probably in the best place we've
00:00:20 been in. Yeah I think we're really happy. Are you falling in love with Jay? Yeah I
00:00:25 could say that yeah. The final commitment ceremony, you said you were here to
00:00:29 learn. Saw a critical breakthrough for Jayden. Your fight style is toxic. Giving
00:00:37 himself and Eden much-needed perspective. Yeah I didn't realize that. Eden do you
00:00:42 feel like Jayden's good enough for you? 100% he's good enough. He's more than
00:00:46 enough. Jonno, you had been texting Ellie. But shocking information. Are you serious?
00:00:55 Um we have, it's just. Saw Jonathan exposed. I'm really really sorry.
00:01:02 Confessing he was messaging former bride Ellie. I feel hurt and betrayed. I feel like I've
00:01:08 been lied to. Leaving Lauren line-sided. What the actual f***. Tonight. At the end of the day
00:01:17 I'm saying you're gonna be here for me. It's the final dinner party of the
00:01:20 experiment. I'm done. There's no one else. It's just gonna be you for the rest of my
00:01:25 life. And true love will be celebrated. That was cute.
00:01:30 The honesty box. Oh gosh. Here we go. It's our couple's last chance to answer the
00:01:38 hard questions. Are you falling in love with me? Do you trust that I'm in this
00:01:43 for the long haul? How attracted are you to me sexually? Before the all-important
00:01:48 final vows. Do you believe that I am over my ex? Oh. He'll have no fury. Cause I saw. Like
00:01:57 Lauren scorned. How do you feel about me right now? I think you're a snake. Do I
00:02:02 live up to your expectations? No. Do you trust me? Absolutely do not trust you.
00:02:07 There is nothing going on there at all. Lauren was on a warpath. Can I just pipe
00:02:13 in there? Brand new information comes to light. You said that. About her husband's
00:02:20 text messages with Ellie. This puts those texts in a whole new light. Do you have
00:02:25 feelings for Ellie? Yes or no? Yes or no? Yes or no? Yes or no? I...
00:02:33 It's the morning after the final commitment ceremony of the experiment.
00:02:48 And there's one topic on every couple's mind. Lauren and Jono. Yeah what the heck?
00:02:56 Yeah how crazy was that? Oh. The infilatory kind of. Lauren's face though
00:03:03 tell that she was very surprised. What's going on? He talks shit. He's been caught out.
00:03:10 Plot twist. Jono the cheater. Jono the dog. He's got Ellie in the DMs.
00:03:20 Hey how you doing? You know what Lauren's like. Lauren's gonna go in. And you know what
00:03:24 Lauren has every right to go in. I'm not gonna tell Lauren to calm down.
00:03:31 In my head I was like well I don't get why you'd be messaging other girls. Like even
00:03:36 if it's not bad intentions or whatever. Like it just... I was a bit disappointed that that
00:03:42 came out that Jono was suing her. Yeah. You know personally. Yeah.
00:03:51 So this curls it that way. That curls it that way. So obviously Jono has been texting Ellie.
00:04:01 Bombshell. Hypocrite. Do you know what this is? A little sucky thing. So I'm like okay
00:04:07 Jono like this is your time. How the tables have turned. Jono is in his way quite vocal
00:04:15 about you and everyone else at the table. Of course. But here we are again. Like he's
00:04:22 got his own little you know little thing that he's sitting on. So yeah. Oh man. Nah he's
00:04:33 f***ed up. He's got caught. Yeah. He really has. I didn't want the next dinner party.
00:04:39 I said last night. I'm not looking forward to it. But now. I wouldn't even put on a red
00:04:44 lip for the night. Who knows?
00:04:48 But while Tori is excited for the final dinner party, the same cannot be said for Lauren
00:04:54 who is still reeling from last night's revelation.
00:04:59 Jono texting Ellie hurts me. The fact that it's behind my back it hurts me. It really
00:05:06 is going to depend on the content of the messages. I've had past relationships where it. This
00:05:14 has absolutely happened. It's going to be just so triggering for me. F*** this situation
00:05:21 honestly. The last situation I expected to be in this far. Like we're so close to the
00:05:26 end and we were doing so well. We have been. We've gone back to our like intimate place.
00:05:33 Like if he's been messaging her while we've been in Perth. Like that would actually kind
00:05:39 of hurt. I'm not going to lie.
00:05:43 Bride Ellie originally entered the experiment with groom Ben. But as the couple struggled
00:05:49 to connect.
00:05:50 I'm under the impression that he definitely wants children.
00:05:53 I'm at a stage where I'm ready to settle down. If kids are after that. Yes.
00:05:58 That's not a yes or no answer.
00:06:00 It's not a yes or no question.
00:06:01 It is. It is.
00:06:04 Ben sat me down for two and a half hours and listed everything that he has not enjoyed
00:06:09 about this relationship.
00:06:11 They failed to find common ground and Ellie entered the fourth dinner party alone.
00:06:16 Remember the first time I saw him on the couch I'm like what is he even saying? These are
00:06:19 just like pre-planned stories.
00:06:22 I'm leaving.
00:06:23 Ellie.
00:06:24 Before bowing out at the next commitment ceremony.
00:06:27 Sorry to interrupt.
00:06:28 Meanwhile, Jonathan has been outed for texting Ellie since she left the experiment.
00:06:33 Jono had been texting Ellie.
00:06:36 But he claims his relationship with Ellie is purely platonic.
00:06:40 There's absolutely nothing there.
00:06:45 If you want to show me that'd be great.
00:06:47 And this morning, after requests from Lauren for full transparency over his and Ellie's
00:06:54 communications, Jonathan has agreed to surrender his phone.
00:06:58 I need to know.
00:06:59 If I see the messages, I can make an assessment for myself on the content, the volume, all
00:07:08 that kind of like who initiated what.
00:07:11 You know, you reached out to her.
00:07:22 Messages aren't just relaying information that have happened the night before.
00:07:27 This is like more than that.
00:07:29 And it was like my stomach kind of dropped.
00:07:37 I don't feel great.
00:07:44 There are lots of messages.
00:07:45 Yeah, I know.
00:07:46 I can see there's lots of messages.
00:07:49 This is stupid.
00:07:53 Stupid decision that I made.
00:07:54 I know, but it's not like a one decision.
00:07:56 It's like about 100 decisions.
00:07:59 Yeah.
00:08:00 I mean, the messaging her about the experiment and stuff.
00:08:04 It's humiliating, Jono.
00:08:05 I know.
00:08:06 And there are a lot of messages.
00:08:09 It's constant.
00:08:10 From what I've glanced over, there is absolutely no like, "How's Lauren?"
00:08:15 Like not once.
00:08:16 Like my name literally was not mentioned.
00:08:19 You know how it has been.
00:08:21 You do know that, don't you?
00:08:24 Maybe.
00:08:25 I don't know.
00:08:26 I'd have to go and look through the-
00:08:27 Oh, it's always a maybe or I don't know.
00:08:28 Well, I don't remember-
00:08:29 You don't remember anything.
00:08:30 Every message I've sent over seven weeks.
00:08:31 No, I don't remember every message I've sent in a week.
00:08:32 Do you remember any message mentioning me?
00:08:35 Did you mention me once?
00:08:36 Okay, let's say no.
00:08:37 Yeah.
00:08:38 I think you know the answer is no.
00:08:41 So that's what also hurts.
00:08:43 Because you are in this experiment with me.
00:08:45 Yeah.
00:08:46 Honestly, I just, I mean, like you mentioned to her there like, "Oh, I turned 40 a week
00:09:01 ago.
00:09:02 Like, where were you?"
00:09:03 There was no like, "Lauren took me out for like dinner" or anything like that.
00:09:07 It was just like, "Where were you?"
00:09:12 I did read a couple of things about like him turning 40 and asking where she was and like
00:09:17 that wasn't about the experiment.
00:09:20 And there was no mention of like me taking him out for his birthday or anything.
00:09:24 There's actually no mention of me at all.
00:09:26 Like not even once.
00:09:29 So.
00:09:30 Cool.
00:09:31 I think that's the part that actually hurts me the most is that like, why wouldn't you
00:09:36 mention your wife maybe one time out of possibly a hundred messages?
00:09:52 Yeah.
00:10:04 I mean, I've looked through all the messages and she didn't see any issue with any of them.
00:10:12 After seeing that, I would describe the relationship with Jono and Ellie as inappropriate as f***.
00:10:19 Did you guys message at all while we were in Perth?
00:10:23 I don't remember.
00:10:24 Sorry.
00:10:25 We were in Perth last week.
00:10:26 Do you remember taking a phone and messaging Ellie while we were in Perth?
00:10:31 No, I don't.
00:10:32 You don't remember or you didn't?
00:10:35 I wouldn't remember.
00:10:36 I'm going to say no, but I would have to look.
00:10:40 I don't know because it was just, it's just little messages.
00:10:42 It's just like, hey, how's the commitments going?
00:10:44 How's Jack?
00:10:45 Jack's f*** up again.
00:10:46 Okay, so while we were in Perth for four days, did you message Ellie?
00:10:50 I don't really want to read that.
00:10:51 I mean, there's a lot here and I don't really particularly want to read them.
00:10:54 I want to say no, but I don't want, I don't remember.
00:11:00 I can't believe we're here at this point.
00:11:02 Like was he messaging her while I was in f***ing surgery?
00:11:05 Like in hospital, like was he messaging her then?
00:11:09 Probably.
00:11:11 Did he mention that to her?
00:11:14 Oh, Lauren's in f***ing hospital having surgery.
00:11:17 What a piece of shit.
00:11:24 Um, I might go get some food.
00:11:30 Do you want anything?
00:11:31 I'm just going to go get some food.
00:11:32 Thanks.
00:11:33 It's a bit of a slap in the face to me.
00:11:36 I'll talk to you soon, okay?
00:11:42 All right, bye.
00:11:48 Down the hall, Jade and Ridge are getting ready for the final dinner party of the experiment
00:11:54 after another big revelation at last night's commitment ceremony.
00:11:58 Honestly, I could see why.
00:12:00 This could be it for me.
00:12:03 I was like this close to dropping the L-bomb.
00:12:06 Are you falling in love with Jade?
00:12:09 Yeah, yeah, I could say that, yeah.
00:12:13 I haven't felt this way about a girl ever.
00:12:18 So you've got nothing to worry about, like at all.
00:12:24 But with final vows just around the corner, Jade still has some lingering doubts around
00:12:30 Ridge's maturity.
00:12:32 The one thing that I struggled with coming into this was I felt like Ridge had a really
00:12:36 young mind.
00:12:38 He's definitely a lot more mature than he was at the start, but there's still times
00:12:44 that he'll like just do stupid things.
00:12:46 So Jade's changed you for the better?
00:12:49 Well, they say every good girl's going to tame a beast.
00:12:52 She has.
00:12:54 You're a beast.
00:12:58 Beast from the east, baby.
00:12:59 Found her from down under.
00:13:00 Sydney Harbour Bridge ain't no big thing coming from Sydney.
00:13:04 I need someone really mature, like I need you to step things up.
00:13:08 I need a man.
00:13:10 I need you to show me that you're not a little kid.
00:13:13 I never thought in my 28 years I'd be wearing pink.
00:13:16 And look at you now.
00:13:17 The girlfriend glow-up is doing you wonders.
00:13:19 You think so?
00:13:20 Yeah, I've done well.
00:13:21 You think it's all you?
00:13:22 Let's go.
00:13:23 For Sarah and Tim, the final dinner party is arriving at an ideal time as their relationship
00:13:42 continues on an upward trajectory.
00:13:45 Oh my damn.
00:13:46 You look fine as hell, lady.
00:13:47 I feel good, like I feel like Tim and I are really in a good place, like we're stronger
00:13:57 than ever.
00:13:58 Who is this couple?
00:13:59 What has happened here?
00:14:00 What has happened?
00:14:01 I don't know.
00:14:02 We're having a ball.
00:14:03 Yeah, we're having the best time.
00:14:04 It's been great.
00:14:05 She's really shown me that she wants to be here and she wants to give me what I need
00:14:12 out of the relationship.
00:14:13 Yeah, it's just like very positive vibes.
00:14:16 Oh, we can see it.
00:14:20 It's nice to see that the experts validated Tim and I in how we're feeling.
00:14:25 We're pretty united at the moment.
00:14:27 I think the honesty box is coming out tonight as well.
00:14:32 True.
00:14:33 Nothing but honesty coming your way.
00:14:37 Yup.
00:14:39 I do feel like I'm quite wary because I'm still not fully over what she's done to me.
00:14:46 I still haven't fully been able to 100% forgive her.
00:14:50 And I'm wondering if there's going to be some questions around that.
00:14:53 But yeah, I think the main topic of tonight is going to be Jona and Lauren.
00:14:59 See how they sort of address it, you know.
00:15:02 We can just be in our own little bubble again.
00:15:04 We can have our own party.
00:15:08 Love it.
00:15:11 And while Sarah and Tim are heading into the final dinner party on an all-time high, Tori
00:15:16 and Jack are simply relishing the fact that for once, they won't be the centre of attention
00:15:22 at a dinner party.
00:15:23 Oh, can you believe we've made it?
00:15:26 Well done.
00:15:28 We're making it.
00:15:30 Very proud of you.
00:15:32 Thank you.
00:15:33 Genuinely proud.
00:15:34 I've bonded with you over all the controversy as well.
00:15:38 For the most part, yeah.
00:15:39 Like, you and I have been amazing.
00:15:40 But like, the journey to get here...
00:15:43 It has been wild.
00:15:44 ...has been crazy.
00:15:45 It has.
00:15:46 Me and Tori are in a really good place.
00:15:49 We've gotten through so much.
00:15:50 I mean, I kind of feel like we're impenetrable at this point.
00:15:54 Dinner party tonight, there's going to be some tasks and some questions.
00:15:58 And yeah, we won't shy away from it.
00:16:00 We'll just take it head on.
00:16:02 I feel like we've built enough resilience, we can handle most things.
00:16:06 I think I can handle a few questions out of an honesty box.
00:16:10 Pretty happy and excited that it's the final dinner party.
00:16:12 We kind of feel like the heat's not directed towards us tonight for once, which would be
00:16:17 nice.
00:16:18 All the battles we've had at the dinner party.
00:16:21 Jono in the background.
00:16:24 He's thrown me under the bus multiple times.
00:16:26 Yeah.
00:16:27 Multiple times.
00:16:28 But he's not in the background anymore.
00:16:31 True.
00:16:32 Jono is like the main character.
00:16:35 Look, he's very quick to pass judgment and throw stones.
00:16:41 And I'm just like, now it's your time.
00:16:45 Like buckle up, brother.
00:16:47 It's your time.
00:16:52 Final dinner party, honestly, like I can't believe we're at the end.
00:16:56 I was really hoping to end it on a good note.
00:16:59 Unfortunately, it's not what's happening tonight.
00:17:03 We're walking in separated.
00:17:05 I think tonight is going to be the night where just like everything needs to be laid out
00:17:09 on the table and we all need to be accountable to each other.
00:17:15 I didn't feel like I had to let her know every time I sent someone a message.
00:17:20 I know that what I did was innocent.
00:17:22 I've apologized if it offended her.
00:17:25 She found a way to weaponize the innocent text messages.
00:17:33 And if she wants to continue on, then bring it on.
00:17:41 We had a great homestay.
00:17:42 We were getting along really well.
00:17:44 We missed each other while I was away in Perth, but like turns out he was messaging Ellie
00:17:47 the whole time, so he couldn't have been missing me that badly.
00:17:52 I've been nothing but loyal and had Lauren's back through this experiment.
00:17:57 Like she got grilled by the experts a few times and both times I just said it's not
00:18:02 her fault.
00:18:03 It takes two in a relationship.
00:18:06 And I had her back.
00:18:07 I don't want to fight with anyone.
00:18:09 I hate having animosity between people.
00:18:11 But Lauren loves it.
00:18:14 So I'm assuming she's gonna be real fired up tonight and ready to go.
00:18:19 If he tries to dance around things and gaslight me, I will lose my goddamn shit.
00:18:24 If you dance around me, if you try and fluff around and filibust, I will lose it.
00:18:30 I will cut you straight to the core so you can get straight to the point.
00:18:32 If it's a yes or no question, give me a yes or no answer.
00:18:35 I don't want you to talk in circles.
00:18:37 It never lands well.
00:18:39 Like I know you want to be with Ellie, but like don't try and be like Ben.
00:18:42 Like we've already had Ben.
00:18:43 Well, we have made it.
00:19:10 The final dinner party for the entire experiment.
00:19:14 And it's one to look out for too, because we have prepared questions for them that are
00:19:18 very hard hitting.
00:19:19 And they're going to all have to open up tonight at the table.
00:19:27 What's so unique about the honesty box is that the questions that we've written for
00:19:31 them tonight are tailor made for each couple to really make them come clean about what
00:19:36 they really want from the relationship and whether their intimate partner is compatible
00:19:40 or not.
00:19:41 We want them leaving nothing on the table tonight.
00:19:46 Absolutely.
00:19:49 Up the first one.
00:19:58 We must be finally boring.
00:19:59 12 weeks to enter first.
00:20:00 Ooh, Tori and Jack.
00:20:05 Can we take in the silence?
00:20:07 Well done, babe.
00:20:09 Well done.
00:20:10 We made it.
00:20:11 We made it.
00:20:12 Never in doubt.
00:20:13 You know, these two may, dare I say it, enjoy some of the dinner party tonight because they
00:20:20 won't be coming in with targets on their backs.
00:20:23 It's a first for them pretty much in the whole experiment.
00:20:25 They've been consistently coming in with a lot of drama following them.
00:20:29 Oh, who would have thought, eh?
00:20:31 I think we rocked up first week last into the dinner party.
00:20:36 You walk in, there's no like awkward like chatter or looks or like shit.
00:20:41 We were just talking about them.
00:20:43 It was just really nice and I think it was like the perfect start to the final DP.
00:20:50 It has been a roller coaster and I don't think we would have survived it if it wasn't for
00:20:59 one another.
00:21:00 Very proud of you.
00:21:01 I'm proud of you.
00:21:02 It was nice.
00:21:03 It was almost like a reassuring feeling that like we're like, wait, wait, guys, we're good.
00:21:10 Like Jack, like it's okay.
00:21:12 Like this dinner party is going to be low key.
00:21:14 Like we didn't need to worry about anything.
00:21:16 But I feel like I've said that about a few dinner parties and shit's absolutely hit the
00:21:20 fan.
00:21:21 So I'm not going to hold any comfort in that thought.
00:21:24 Obviously the peaceful vibes won't last.
00:21:28 No.
00:21:29 They never do.
00:21:30 Jono and Lauren.
00:21:31 Yeah, that'll be the, that'll be the tea.
00:21:35 I'm very hypocritical of Jono.
00:21:38 He's very vocal about you.
00:21:42 All the whilst he's being dodgy.
00:21:45 Message to Ellie.
00:21:46 We did make mention of it at the last committment ceremony, how interesting it was that when
00:21:51 Jack has displayed poor behavior, they've really come after him.
00:21:55 Whereas when Jono engaged in this texting with Ellie, he kind of almost went under the
00:22:01 radar.
00:22:02 He wasn't held to such account.
00:22:06 So these two might have a real issue with Jono tonight.
00:22:09 No, he's f***ed up.
00:22:10 Like this won't sweep under the rug for sure.
00:22:13 I'm curious to find out like who sent the first text message.
00:22:16 Lauren will be pissed.
00:22:19 Yeah.
00:22:20 Yeah.
00:22:21 Yeah.
00:22:22 Yeah.
00:22:23 I'm gonna flip it.
00:22:24 Hello.
00:22:25 How are you going?
00:22:26 Oh my gosh, you look incredible.
00:22:27 So good.
00:22:28 I had a whole bunch of mixed emotions going in.
00:22:29 I was happy, I was sad, I was nervous, I was excited.
00:22:30 Yeah, there was a lot going on.
00:22:31 Look at the suit.
00:22:32 Eden and Jaden.
00:22:33 He's coming strong, Jaden, tonight.
00:22:34 He wants to make a statement.
00:22:35 It's good to see Jaden with his arm around Eden, offering that little bit of support
00:22:36 in the social environment.
00:22:37 I'm so excited to see you.
00:22:38 I'm so excited to see you.
00:22:39 I'm so excited to see you.
00:22:40 I'm so excited to see you.
00:22:41 I'm so excited to see you.
00:22:42 I'm so excited to see you.
00:22:43 I'm so excited to see you.
00:22:44 I'm so excited to see you.
00:22:45 I'm so excited to see you.
00:22:52 I just feel like it's a little bit nerve-wracking, like, being in a dinner party environment
00:22:58 and not having, like, a partner, like, someone that you know is gonna back you.
00:23:03 We got into such a good place, and then now it's all kind of just crumbled.
00:23:08 I, for me, I don't know what's gonna happen, so it's a little bit nerve-wracking, but at
00:23:13 the end of the day, I can hold my own.
00:23:17 Oh, my God, hello.
00:23:31 This is Lauren by herself.
00:23:33 You look amazing.
00:23:34 Well, she was certainly very upset on the couch.
00:23:37 Embarrassed.
00:23:38 She was.
00:23:39 Humiliated.
00:23:40 Cheers, girls.
00:23:41 Cheers.
00:23:42 Cheers.
00:23:43 I'm so excited to know what's going on, and they can back me, and it doesn't need to be
00:23:46 of me in the group versus Jono, but it can just be, like, the support of everyone else.
00:23:51 Obviously, on the couch, you guys heard Jono say that, you know, like, I could have a look
00:23:55 through the messages.
00:23:56 So I did a little...
00:23:58 But just from a...
00:23:59 It just kept going.
00:24:00 Oh.
00:24:01 It just...
00:24:02 For days.
00:24:03 Like, I literally needed, like, a f****** wrist.
00:24:04 Like, a...
00:24:05 RSI in the wrist.
00:24:06 Literally.
00:24:07 And there was about a hundred.
00:24:10 Oh.
00:24:11 A hundred texts between Ellie and Jono.
00:24:14 A hundred.
00:24:15 A hundred.
00:24:16 Yep.
00:24:17 So that's a relationship.
00:24:18 That's certainly at least a really, really, really, really close friendship that his spouse
00:24:25 should know about.
00:24:26 And let's be honest, he did not tell us about that on the couch.
00:24:29 No, he did not.
00:24:30 He downplayed all of that.
00:24:32 Yes.
00:24:33 It was a lot of f****** messages, and, like, there was no message about, like, me being
00:24:37 in hospital or having surgery.
00:24:40 It was a lot of, like, him talking about, like, getting together on the Gold Coast.
00:24:44 Wait, wait.
00:24:46 Like, meeting up?
00:24:48 Yeah.
00:24:49 Oh, bonga.
00:24:50 What?
00:24:51 So when we talked on the couch, I actually said, you know, I'm really annoyed that she
00:24:54 reached out.
00:24:55 He didn't correct me on the couch.
00:24:58 And so then I felt like it was me, almost like a me ragging on Ellie's session, which
00:25:01 I...
00:25:02 Well, he should have corrected you and said, "No, that's not your fault."
00:25:05 He should have corrected you.
00:25:06 Like, what are they talking about, though?
00:25:08 Is it just, like, get to know you chat?
00:25:09 The tone and, like, the context, because there were so many.
00:25:12 I wasn't going and reading them all, but, like, I kind of stopped on one, and he...
00:25:15 I asked...
00:25:16 I think he asked how old she was, and she asked how old he was.
00:25:20 That's get to know you chat.
00:25:21 That's full get to know you chat.
00:25:24 He said, "Oh, I just turned 40."
00:25:26 Like, yikes.
00:25:27 Like, something.
00:25:28 And she's like, "Oh, my God, happy birthday."
00:25:29 Like, and he was like, "Yeah, like, where were you, dot, dot, dot?"
00:25:35 And I was like, "Well, I know where you were."
00:25:36 Out to dinner with you.
00:25:37 Out to dinner with me.
00:25:38 You know, we were lied to by Jono at that commitment ceremony.
00:25:44 The thing about that was that I was a bit perturbed about was that there was no mention
00:25:48 of me.
00:25:49 Like, Ellie never said, like, "How's Laura?
00:25:50 How are you and Laura?"
00:25:51 Like, I...
00:25:52 Like, my name literally didn't get brought up by him much once.
00:25:55 Yeah.
00:25:56 There was no mention of me.
00:25:57 Right.
00:25:58 We know what's going on.
00:25:59 So, yes, it's about them.
00:26:00 There's just so much to this, because I've given him little jokes about...
00:26:03 Jokes about Ellie throughout the experiment.
00:26:04 I've said, "I think she's got a little crush on you."
00:26:06 I remember even saying in front of Sarah one time, I was like, "Oh, what a scandal if Jono
00:26:09 ran off with Ellie."
00:26:10 And he kept being like...
00:26:11 He got angry at me.
00:26:12 Don't say that.
00:26:13 Yes.
00:26:14 Yes.
00:26:15 It was very much like that.
00:26:16 And it was like, "She's not my type."
00:26:17 And...
00:26:18 Now I look back on it, it was too much.
00:26:19 Too defensive.
00:26:20 Too offensive.
00:26:21 Too defensive.
00:26:26 It's definitely not how I envisaged the last dinner party to be walking in by myself, but
00:26:32 I'm gonna come under a lot of fire, but that's OK.
00:26:35 I'm a big boy and I know who I am.
00:26:41 And I know what I did was innocent.
00:26:48 I love dinner parties normally, they're like my favourite time of week.
00:26:52 I loved sitting beside Lauren and watching her just unload on everyone and having a good
00:26:59 laugh.
00:27:00 But tonight, unfortunately, it looks like I'm the one in the firing line.
00:27:05 Like normally it's...
00:27:06 Normally it's Jack.
00:27:07 Who have you messaged over 100 times since you've been here?
00:27:12 Like...
00:27:13 Probably not even...
00:27:14 Probably no one yet.
00:27:15 Like, who's got the time?
00:27:16 Not even one.
00:27:17 Everyone gets their time and this time is mine.
00:27:22 OK, so the other thing is, he did send her a message the morning of the commitment ceremony,
00:27:27 but I haven't...
00:27:28 I haven't seen him read it.
00:27:35 So how often are they speaking?
00:27:38 It's every day.
00:27:39 It's pretty...
00:27:40 It looks like pretty much of it.
00:27:42 Hey.
00:27:43 Oh, wow.
00:27:44 Oh, he's Jaden Ridd.
00:27:45 Hey.
00:27:46 Howdy, howdy, howdy.
00:27:47 I really didn't want to read them.
00:27:48 I was like kind of freaking out.
00:27:49 Yeah.
00:27:50 It's almost like I didn't want to see something that was going to be really bad, that I didn't
00:27:51 really have to read.
00:27:52 I think that it's a lot of people that are going through this.
00:27:53 I think it's a lot of people that are going through this.
00:27:54 Yeah.
00:27:55 I think it's a lot of people that are going through this.
00:27:56 I think it's a lot of people that are going through this.
00:27:57 I think it's a lot of people that are going through this.
00:27:58 - Let's get rid of it. - Text number or text Instagram?
00:28:01 - It's DM.
00:28:02 - Here we are. - Hey.
00:28:05 - Hey, wowee.
00:28:06 - Sarantin.
00:28:08 - Sarah Ant. - Another strong week.
00:28:11 Big smiles, very together, looking lovely.
00:28:15 - Very happy looking.
00:28:16 What have we missed?
00:28:19 - Well, I've just been filling them in.
00:28:20 Like after the couch session,
00:28:21 John offered to look at his phone and that's what we did,
00:28:24 and we just discovered there was quite a,
00:28:26 the volume of messages was what was concerning.
00:28:28 - There's a lot going on in that message.
00:28:30 - It was the quantity. - Yeah.
00:28:32 - I'm so shocked by this.
00:28:34 - Yeah, I'm shocked too. - 'Cause obviously
00:28:35 it's my mate, but at the same time,
00:28:35 I didn't know, like what the heck?
00:28:38 - It was just the volume of messages,
00:28:41 or about a hundred. - I know.
00:28:43 - Over a hundred messages to another female.
00:28:48 In the experiment, behind your wife's back,
00:28:51 there's a lot going on.
00:28:52 (dramatic music)
00:28:55 - I am pissed off.
00:29:01 I mean, there's no doubt about that.
00:29:02 Like, I can't do this half-ass shit.
00:29:06 I am who I am.
00:29:07 I have been who I am since day one.
00:29:09 It's like, you (beep) up here, mate.
00:29:12 You need to walk in and like talk to me
00:29:14 and make sure I'm okay.
00:29:15 Like every other dude here has done.
00:29:17 Everything needs to be said tonight.
00:29:20 Everything needs to be laid on the table.
00:29:23 Jono has a lot of explaining to do.
00:29:25 - Hey. - Yo.
00:29:31 - Oh, here he is.
00:29:34 - Oh, he's Jono.
00:29:37 - Oh.
00:29:38 - And you can cut the tension with a knife
00:29:40 with this entrance.
00:29:41 I mean, clearly.
00:29:42 - How's he gonna greet Lauren?
00:29:44 This is the key.
00:29:45 - Hey, mate, how you doing?
00:29:47 - Good to see you.
00:29:48 - You're in it. - Hey, Tori, how you doing?
00:29:49 - Good to see you. - Good to see you.
00:29:51 - What's up, man?
00:29:52 - Looking tight, bro.
00:29:53 - How you doing?
00:29:53 - How you doing?
00:29:54 - Yeah, I'm good, man.
00:29:55 - Yeah. - Hello.
00:29:56 - Hi, Sarah. - How are you?
00:29:57 - Good, you? - Oh, you too.
00:29:58 I'm gonna go to the bar and get a drink.
00:30:04 - Have fun.
00:30:05 - So Jono walks in.
00:30:09 I think he hugs like Tori, Jack, like Eden, Ridge.
00:30:14 - Hey, Jono.
00:30:15 - How you doing, bro? - Sweet.
00:30:16 - I'm good, I'm good.
00:30:17 - Sarah, Tim.
00:30:18 - Hey, man.
00:30:19 - How you doing?
00:30:20 - Jade.
00:30:20 And by then I well and truly made myself comfortable
00:30:26 by the champagne bottle.
00:30:27 Oh, shit.
00:30:29 We have a problem.
00:30:31 I was a little bit perturbed when he didn't come over to me.
00:30:36 I thought he might've made that effort
00:30:38 and I was sitting at the very end of the last couch,
00:30:40 so I certainly wasn't gonna like line up
00:30:43 to hug my own husband.
00:30:45 How are you feeling, by the way?
00:30:46 - Good.
00:30:47 - You feel all right? - Yeah.
00:30:48 - This is epic.
00:30:49 - Thanks, bro, that's my brother's.
00:30:50 - Yeah, great.
00:30:50 - Oh, is it?
00:30:51 - Yeah, he wore it to the one.
00:30:53 - Really?
00:30:54 Oh, that's cool that you both got to wear it.
00:30:56 - It kind of set the tone for the evening,
00:30:58 like he's not making any effort with me
00:31:00 or to say sorry to me.
00:31:02 - Cheers.
00:31:03 - You freaking out?
00:31:04 - No.
00:31:05 And that's kind of how it's been for the last few days,
00:31:07 so good to know that's how he's gonna proceed.
00:31:14 And now I can recalibrate
00:31:17 and figure out how I'm gonna proceed.
00:31:20 It's like a game of chess.
00:31:21 - How's everyone been?
00:31:26 I'm not an asparagus guy, but that's all right.
00:31:37 - You're good.
00:31:38 - Oh, I don't think I've seen something quite so awkward
00:31:43 like that for some time.
00:31:45 - You look hot.
00:31:46 - Thanks.
00:31:49 - Ladies and gentlemen, dinner is served.
00:32:00 (dishes clattering)
00:32:03 - I've got this.
00:32:16 - Put me on the end, all right?
00:32:22 I'm on the end, you gotta take it easy.
00:32:24 - My goodness.
00:32:29 (Loren clears throat)
00:32:32 - Well, this would be the closest
00:32:37 Jono and Loren have sat all night.
00:32:40 - Jono looks like he's got a head full of thoughts.
00:32:43 - Yes, he looks tense.
00:32:45 - Well, he should be because he's got some answering to do
00:32:49 and Loren will be the one to make him squirm,
00:32:52 I think, tonight.
00:32:53 - Absolutely.
00:32:57 - The vibe between Loren and I is not great at the moment.
00:33:00 I told her, I messaged Ellie, completely innocent,
00:33:05 but she, the day after the commitment ceremony,
00:33:07 has turned it into something that's bad.
00:33:11 And so the vibe's not good.
00:33:14 - Who wants to do a toast?
00:33:16 - I'll do a toast. - Jaden?
00:33:17 - But we're all gonna do this together.
00:33:19 We're gonna go around the room
00:33:20 and we're gonna say something about the experiment, all right?
00:33:23 It could be about someone or something that's happened
00:33:25 that has to be just off the top of your head.
00:33:27 - I'm gonna be corny.
00:33:27 Cheers to the friendship.
00:33:28 - Oh, yeah.
00:33:29 - I'm gonna make it spicy.
00:33:31 Come on, guys.
00:33:32 - Cheers to Jack's big mouth.
00:33:33 - Yes.
00:33:34 - Cheers to Jono texting Ellie.
00:33:39 - Ooh. - Ooh.
00:33:42 - I like that.
00:33:43 - Oh, that's cold.
00:33:45 - That's (beep) locked in.
00:33:47 - Make sure the feet are held to the fire.
00:33:49 Yes, Sarah.
00:33:51 - I mean, that didn't take long for Jono
00:33:55 to get into the crosshairs.
00:33:56 - Oh, Jono did not find the humor.
00:33:58 - No.
00:33:59 - All right, you guys, cheers, guys.
00:34:00 Someone-- - Cheers.
00:34:01 - Cheers. - Cheers.
00:34:03 - You knew it was gonna be Sarah, you know, the best friend.
00:34:05 - Yeah.
00:34:06 - Now that we're on the topic,
00:34:08 I just wanted to make it really clear
00:34:09 that I messaged Ellie, she didn't message me.
00:34:13 - Let's be very clear.
00:34:20 At the commitment ceremony, we asked
00:34:23 and he said Ellie text him first.
00:34:26 - Yes. - Yes.
00:34:27 - Yeah, but I'm sure there's gonna be lots of questions
00:34:30 directed at me tonight,
00:34:31 but I just wanted everyone to know that first.
00:34:34 - What was the nature of your first message?
00:34:36 How come you did that?
00:34:39 - I think it was, "Did you make it home okay?
00:34:43 "Is it amazing to be out of Sky Suites?"
00:34:46 Just, I've reached out to most people
00:34:49 and checked in, talked to probably six or seven people
00:34:54 regularly, it's all very banter, laughing about
00:34:58 the experiment and dinner parties and how crazy it all was.
00:35:02 I'm surprised that he's come in
00:35:04 with a justification mentality,
00:35:06 I'm gonna minimize this,
00:35:08 and there's really nothing to see here.
00:35:11 I honestly can't believe this has all come of this.
00:35:14 - There's a lot of messages.
00:35:17 - How many messages is there,
00:35:18 like if it was over six weeks?
00:35:19 - About a hundred.
00:35:21 - There's not a hundred.
00:35:21 - That's what Warren said.
00:35:22 - There's not a, I would, okay,
00:35:24 I'd have to go back through and count them, mate.
00:35:26 - But let's give a genuine idea,
00:35:28 how much do you, how many do you reckon?
00:35:30 There's a lot.
00:35:31 - I would have thought it'd be closer to 50 than 100,
00:35:33 but I have to go back and count them.
00:35:34 - So the other people you message though,
00:35:35 do you message the same volume amount of messages?
00:35:38 - Like I message Steven more, I message Tristan more.
00:35:40 - Are they all the same context though?
00:35:42 Like are you talking to Steven about the same things
00:35:44 you're talking to Ellie?
00:35:45 - 100%.
00:35:45 - What about the birthday text?
00:35:48 - It wasn't a birthday text.
00:35:50 - What did that one say?
00:35:51 - What I'll tell you, it said,
00:35:53 "When you turn 40, come and get some Botox."
00:35:55 And I was like, I actually turned 40 three weeks ago.
00:35:58 Where were you?
00:35:58 And she was like, "Ha ha ha,"
00:35:59 and made a joke about me being old.
00:36:01 That was the birthday text.
00:36:03 - Where were you is a bit flirty.
00:36:05 - I was gonna say, in the past I've had a like,
00:36:07 "Ha ha ha, where were you?"
00:36:08 - Where were you, are you kidding?
00:36:08 - And it's been very flirty.
00:36:10 - It was, "Where were you?"
00:36:11 With like all these laughy faces,
00:36:13 as in, how did you not know it was my birthday already?
00:36:18 - Of course, you know, Jono tried to dance around it,
00:36:21 but like the group was not letting that happen.
00:36:23 - How would she know?
00:36:24 She's not in the experiment, it hasn't been for weeks.
00:36:27 - True, I thought she would've known.
00:36:29 - Jono wasn't really owning it.
00:36:35 He was kind of half-assed apologizing,
00:36:38 but he was still trying to justify it,
00:36:40 make excuses as to why he did it,
00:36:42 which is no good enough.
00:36:43 He should just be saying sorry and leave it as that.
00:36:45 - So when we went through your messages,
00:36:47 I really didn't wanna read them,
00:36:48 'cause I've been through this.
00:36:50 I did not come here to do this again.
00:36:52 And I trusted you.
00:36:53 My name was not mentioned.
00:36:57 If it's friends talking about the experiment,
00:37:00 I'm the experiment with you.
00:37:02 - Were there any?
00:37:04 - There were.
00:37:07 - No, there weren't.
00:37:09 - Okay.
00:37:10 - There weren't a single one.
00:37:11 - You didn't read them all.
00:37:12 - We had this conversation.
00:37:14 Jono was gaslighting me and talking in circles
00:37:17 and just not telling the truth.
00:37:19 What does it say?
00:37:20 - There's stuff saying about--
00:37:22 - You spend a lot of time like this.
00:37:24 It's like you need a goddamn wristband
00:37:26 while you're looking.
00:37:27 - It was not that long.
00:37:29 - I thought he would at least fall on his sword
00:37:31 and go, "You know what?
00:37:32 "There's no excuse for any of this.
00:37:34 "I misled you all.
00:37:34 "I lied to the experts, to the group.
00:37:36 "I'm wrong."
00:37:37 He's not doing that.
00:37:39 - Jono, how do you feel about Ellie, complete honesty?
00:37:41 Is there any kind of attraction physically or emotionally
00:37:44 or anything there at all?
00:37:45 - I think Ellie is a good-looking chick, of course,
00:37:48 but there is nothing going on there at all.
00:37:51 - So you'd put that to bed,
00:37:52 like you and Ellie in the future?
00:37:54 You don't think it'd ever be a thing, wouldn't pursue it?
00:37:56 - Yeah, 100%.
00:37:58 Things change in the future.
00:38:00 - Can I just pipe in there?
00:38:02 There's a, hmm.
00:38:06 Based on the things that you've said
00:38:08 in your cute little safe space at the gym,
00:38:10 Jack bought me some info.
00:38:13 Then you were like, "Yeah, I would've loved
00:38:15 "to have been with Ellie."
00:38:17 - What?
00:38:18 - You said that.
00:38:19 - When Laura and I were fighting, yeah, okay, sure.
00:38:28 - Jack bought me some info.
00:38:38 Then you were like, "Yeah, I would've loved
00:38:40 "to have been with Ellie."
00:38:42 - What?
00:38:43 - You said that.
00:38:45 - When Laura and I were fighting, yeah, okay, sure.
00:38:49 - This is a whole new level.
00:38:52 He's made a statement that he would've preferred
00:38:54 to have been matched with Ellie.
00:38:57 I mean, this just puts all of those texts
00:38:59 in a whole new light.
00:39:00 - Yeah.
00:39:01 - It's there.
00:39:02 - Yeah.
00:39:03 - We've got a witness.
00:39:04 There's no other way to look at it.
00:39:06 - It's a, it was a joke, and again,
00:39:08 I feel like you should just apologize to Lauren for that.
00:39:11 - I, um.
00:39:13 - Did you actually say that?
00:39:14 - I'm not sorry.
00:39:16 - I came in and I felt like I was gonna give him a chance
00:39:18 and I wasn't gonna throw him under the bath.
00:39:20 And now it's just like.
00:39:21 It's like, it's embarrassing.
00:39:27 - What's your past pretext?
00:39:29 - I don't know.
00:39:30 I.
00:39:31 - You don't remember anything.
00:39:33 - It's interesting that in this group dynamic now,
00:39:36 Jonah has been friends with everybody in the group.
00:39:39 Not one person is standing by him on this situation.
00:39:43 - Yeah.
00:39:44 - I've done nothing wrong.
00:39:47 It was completely innocent.
00:39:49 And I know there's nothing there.
00:39:52 Jonah didn't see himself.
00:39:53 He seems very,
00:39:55 a little cringy.
00:39:58 - Jonah was very sly.
00:39:59 He'll say one thing to another person
00:40:01 and then do another thing in person.
00:40:03 - I'm feeling confused and weird.
00:40:07 - I a hundred percent think
00:40:09 that this has been blunt out of proportion.
00:40:12 - Jonah was kind of deflecting,
00:40:13 not really owning his part.
00:40:15 But then the black box comes out.
00:40:22 - Oh God.
00:40:23 - Here we go.
00:40:25 - There's gonna be some hard questions for Jonah
00:40:28 because he's not really being honest about the situation.
00:40:31 - Mystery box.
00:40:35 - What we see tonight is five couples
00:40:38 who have actually really bonded.
00:40:41 They've been through a shared experience
00:40:43 and this is a time for them,
00:40:45 not only to answer our questions,
00:40:46 but also to reminisce the highs and lows,
00:40:49 get some support and hopefully figure out,
00:40:51 you know, where they're headed with these final vows.
00:40:55 - All right, let's go.
00:40:56 - All right, kick it off guys.
00:40:57 - All right.
00:40:57 - Tim, ask Sarah.
00:41:00 Okay, go for it.
00:41:02 - This is a novel for the telenovela
00:41:04 that we've been living.
00:41:05 (laughing)
00:41:08 - I'm expecting some tough questions.
00:41:13 I'm expecting still some questions about our struggles
00:41:17 and whether or not Tim can see a future with me.
00:41:20 - Do you have any regrets
00:41:24 about how you've been in this relationship?
00:41:26 - I have a lot of regrets.
00:41:32 I regret lying to you and I regret hanging out with my ex
00:41:37 and I regret hurting you.
00:41:38 Like, I think that's the biggest thing.
00:41:39 I regret hurting you.
00:41:41 - They've come such a long way, these two, haven't they?
00:41:43 Tim and Sarah, from where we saw them,
00:41:46 you know, not that long ago, three weeks ago,
00:41:48 they were after this betrayal.
00:41:50 She had to really do some heavy lifting
00:41:53 and it appears she's been able to do it.
00:41:55 - I regret not giving Tim more of a chance at the beginning.
00:42:00 Through all of this, I'm like, I'm happy I stuck it out.
00:42:04 I feel like my feelings and my mind have changed
00:42:06 about the experiment, about Tim, about us
00:42:09 and what our future holds.
00:42:11 - Are you falling in love with me?
00:42:21 - What?
00:42:27 - As everyone in here knows,
00:42:28 we've had a really rocky start,
00:42:32 but if things continue the way
00:42:35 that they have been continuing,
00:42:37 I can see myself falling in love with you.
00:42:39 - Aww, cute.
00:42:40 - Do you say anything to that, Tim?
00:42:47 - I like hearing it.
00:42:48 Angola.
00:42:49 - I'm not ready to say, I love you,
00:42:53 but if we continue down this path,
00:42:57 we could definitely fall in love with each other.
00:42:59 - Okay, now I gotta ask Tim.
00:43:01 What is one thing you like best about me
00:43:03 and one thing you like the least?
00:43:05 - I love that you're so upfront
00:43:08 and that you can just like,
00:43:09 you just know exactly how you feel
00:43:11 because not many people that I've ever met
00:43:13 have been able to just be like, boom, I feel like this,
00:43:16 I like this, I'm like this,
00:43:18 and like stay to it like the whole way through.
00:43:20 So I really do like that about you.
00:43:23 What I like least about you is,
00:43:26 I think the fight style of just kind of trying to be right
00:43:29 and having your point and proving the point,
00:43:32 but I've definitely seen an improvement,
00:43:34 which is been very nice.
00:43:37 - What I'm seeing in Sarah is actually growth.
00:43:39 I feel like she is taking what I'm saying on board
00:43:41 and she is making improvements.
00:43:43 Like the last couple of weeks have been unreal.
00:43:46 We've been very much on the same page,
00:43:48 very much like just enjoying each other's company.
00:43:50 - Okay.
00:43:52 Uh-oh.
00:43:56 Oh my God, okay.
00:43:58 Do you believe that I am over my ex?
00:44:05 - Oh.
00:44:06 - Come on, Timmy.
00:44:25 - I feel like I wanna choose my words carefully here.
00:44:27 - Do you believe that I am over my ex?
00:44:43 - Oh.
00:44:43 - Do you believe that I am over my ex?
00:44:46 - Oh.
00:44:47 - Do you believe that I am over my ex?
00:44:50 - Oh.
00:44:51 - Do you believe that I am over my ex?
00:44:54 - Oh.
00:44:55 - Do you believe that I am over my ex?
00:44:58 - Oh.
00:44:59 - Do you believe that I am over my ex?
00:45:02 - Oh.
00:45:03 - Do you believe that I am over my ex?
00:45:06 - Oh.
00:45:07 - Do you believe that I am over my ex?
00:45:10 - Oh.
00:45:11 - Do you believe that I am over my ex?
00:45:13 - Oh.
00:45:14 - Do you believe that I am over my ex?
00:45:17 - Oh.
00:45:18 - Do you believe that I am over my ex?
00:45:21 - Oh.
00:45:21 - Do you believe that I am over my ex?
00:45:24 - Oh.
00:45:25 - Do you believe that I am over my ex?
00:45:29 - Oh.
00:45:29 - Do you believe that I am over my ex?
00:45:33 - Oh.
00:45:33 - Do you believe that I am over my ex?
00:45:37 - Oh.
00:45:37 - Do you believe that I am over my ex?
00:45:41 (dramatic music)
00:45:43 - I'm definitely, I've definitely got a little thang for ya.
00:45:47 (laughing)
00:45:50 - Oh, he's so cute.
00:45:51 - Oh, I'm gonna be wet.
00:45:53 (laughing)
00:45:55 - Oh, that was cute, I didn't expect that.
00:45:58 - It feels amazing, like I feel like we've come
00:46:03 such a long way and hearing his like answers
00:46:06 just like, yeah, reassures me that like we're going
00:46:10 in the right direction.
00:46:11 - Sweet.
00:46:13 - Sweet.
00:46:14 - Incredible.
00:46:15 - Yeah.
00:46:16 - Thank you.
00:46:17 - That was great, guys.
00:46:19 - All right, next box, let's get into it.
00:46:21 (coughing)
00:46:31 - All eyes on you, Jack.
00:46:33 - First question.
00:46:40 How could I have been a better partner to you
00:46:43 over the last couple of months?
00:46:44 - Jack has got a long list of poor choices.
00:46:48 - Okay, where do we start?
00:46:50 - We're gonna be here all goddamn night.
00:46:54 - I think you could have exercised like a certain amount
00:46:58 of thought before you speak.
00:47:00 We would be in a very different place.
00:47:04 - Thank you.
00:47:09 - How do you feel about me right now
00:47:11 and describe your feelings?
00:47:12 - I feel super close to you.
00:47:17 I think I would classify how I'm feeling about you
00:47:22 as like, there's like an infatuation almost.
00:47:28 - Do you think I'll put in the effort needed
00:47:37 to make a long distance relationship work?
00:47:40 And are you confident I'll be faithful during that time?
00:47:44 - I feel like, truthfully, in the past week,
00:47:48 I've like wigged out, but there is like an anxiety
00:47:53 about being outside of this experiment
00:47:55 where we're like forced to live together
00:47:57 and forced to be together.
00:47:58 That makes me quite anxious.
00:48:01 And it is like getting to me more than ever.
00:48:04 - It is.
00:48:06 - Yeah, you're having a moment.
00:48:07 Next question.
00:48:13 Are you falling in love with me?
00:48:14 - If we keep going the way we're going,
00:48:21 I could absolutely fall in love with you.
00:48:23 - I actually wanna know this.
00:48:28 How many guys have you been in love with?
00:48:30 - None.
00:48:34 - Oh, shit.
00:48:36 - So it's a big thing then.
00:48:37 - Zero.
00:48:38 - Tori hasn't been in love before.
00:48:41 She hadn't met me yet.
00:48:44 - Tori, ask Jack.
00:48:50 - Give me an easy one to start.
00:48:53 - What worries you most about us
00:49:03 after we leave the experiment?
00:49:05 - I've got concerns about like how you're feeling
00:49:08 about long distance 'cause you're being different
00:49:10 the last week and a bit.
00:49:11 I've seen a different side to you, I think.
00:49:14 We've discussed it a couple of times.
00:49:16 - She really has invested in this relationship
00:49:19 and she probably is going to move to the Gold Coast
00:49:23 to be with Jack.
00:49:24 I think she is incredibly nervous.
00:49:27 - And I've seen like, all I've seen from you
00:49:29 is like strong, assertive, confident.
00:49:34 And I'm worried how you're gonna go
00:49:36 when we are doing our own thing, doing long distance.
00:49:38 - How do you feel about me right now?
00:49:44 Describe your feelings.
00:49:45 - Proud.
00:49:50 Did he just say that?
00:49:58 - How attracted are you to me sexually?
00:50:01 - Didn't have a sexual connection
00:50:08 from day one, the wedding.
00:50:10 I reckon a month ago,
00:50:11 I was definitely sexually attracted to you.
00:50:15 Couple of weeks ago or a week ago after homestays,
00:50:17 I was at 9.5 out of 10 attracted to you sexually.
00:50:21 And we've had a couple of goes
00:50:22 and I feel like we align in the bedroom
00:50:24 and it's a good time, so.
00:50:27 - Okay, good answer.
00:50:28 Are you falling in love with me?
00:50:33 - Look, I'm not in love with you.
00:50:46 But...
00:50:55 I could be falling, yeah.
00:50:57 - I could be, if not, I am.
00:51:00 - I wouldn't still be here.
00:51:01 I wouldn't be rocking out to these dinner parties
00:51:03 if I didn't see potential future with you, you know?
00:51:06 I do believe in you.
00:51:17 - Kiss me.
00:51:22 Just fake it.
00:51:23 (dramatic music)
00:51:26 - All right, let's move it on.
00:51:32 Let's go Ridge and Jade, eh?
00:51:34 - All right, Ridge, all attention on you.
00:51:37 - Okay.
00:51:39 Jade, describe how you feel about me.
00:51:47 - I feel like you've made it very hard for me
00:51:52 not to get feelings.
00:51:54 I was not expecting to fall for someone so quick.
00:51:59 I feel like little things that you've done for me,
00:52:04 I've never had anyone do for me.
00:52:06 I feel like you've really come in here
00:52:08 and like literally like swept me off my feet
00:52:11 with everything you've done.
00:52:13 You have done more than live up to the expectations.
00:52:18 I feel like--
00:52:19 - Kate!
00:52:21 Stop doing that!
00:52:22 I'm not gonna say nice things if you do that!
00:52:24 - All right, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.
00:52:28 - I have no idea what he's thinking in those moments.
00:52:38 I need someone really mature.
00:52:39 Like I need you to step things up.
00:52:41 I need you to show me that you're not a little kid.
00:52:45 He has come so far, but when he does things like that,
00:52:50 like I know he's trying to bring the fun,
00:52:51 playful, joking side, but it's not the time.
00:52:54 - Do you have any reservations about me
00:52:58 or anything I've said?
00:53:00 Be honest.
00:53:00 - Well, I feel like the immaturity thing
00:53:06 was a big one at the start where I was like,
00:53:08 I don't know where the line is.
00:53:10 I got past that and I was like, you're a better person.
00:53:14 Two minutes ago, you displayed that same behavior.
00:53:20 I couldn't help it.
00:53:22 Again, my mouth gets me in trouble.
00:53:23 - I'm fine with like, I want playful fun,
00:53:27 but like don't act like a kid.
00:53:29 - Thing is though, the reason why is because hearing you say
00:53:39 that sort of thing to me just makes me think like,
00:53:42 like you're gonna be it for me.
00:53:44 You make me feel a kinder way.
00:53:45 And obviously I'm gonna be vocal about it,
00:53:49 vocal about that because that's not an easy thing to say.
00:53:52 At the end of the day, I'm saying
00:53:53 you're gonna be it for me.
00:53:55 That's why, okay?
00:53:58 I'm done.
00:53:59 There's no one else.
00:54:00 It's just gonna be you for the rest of my life.
00:54:02 Okay, and if that doesn't make me him, nothing will.
00:54:04 - Jade, you're trying so hard to be angry at him.
00:54:09 I can see it.
00:54:10 You like him so much.
00:54:11 - Ridge definitely does annoy me,
00:54:16 but deep down the feelings are definitely strong.
00:54:20 - They asked me on the honeymoon
00:54:21 if I've ever liked anyone more than you.
00:54:24 And I said, no.
00:54:24 I've never looked at anyone the way I look at you.
00:54:32 And I've never felt the way I have for anyone else,
00:54:35 the way I feel about you.
00:54:36 And that's a genuine thing.
00:54:38 And it sort of scares me a lot.
00:54:43 I am the best version of myself
00:54:46 since I've been with this girl.
00:54:47 - Yeah, man. - That's a fact.
00:54:48 It is a fact.
00:54:49 - We can see the growth.
00:54:50 - Scary about my feelings is that like, yeah,
00:54:53 essentially I'm vulnerable to be hurt.
00:54:55 But then also it made me realize how in this I am
00:54:58 and how serious we actually are.
00:54:59 - Okay.
00:55:01 - Okay.
00:55:02 (laughing)
00:55:03 - Okay, she's so cute.
00:55:04 - She's literally blushing.
00:55:09 - Jade's turn.
00:55:15 - Are you prepared to commit to being present
00:55:18 in V's life after the experiment?
00:55:20 - 100% I'm.
00:55:27 There's not even a hesitation about it.
00:55:31 'Cause I don't get you without V.
00:55:33 And I want you more than anything.
00:55:35 I'm keen and I'm ready to be that person for V.
00:55:38 As long as V wants me to be there
00:55:42 and you wanted me to be a part of V's life, of course.
00:55:45 - You'll be a good dad, man.
00:55:46 - For sure.
00:55:47 - You'll be a good dad. - For sure.
00:55:48 - Oh.
00:55:51 Beautiful, beautiful soul.
00:55:54 - Do you have a timeline in mind after the experiment
00:56:04 when you will move to the Gold Coast?
00:56:05 Be specific.
00:56:06 - So doing long distance with a seven year old daughter
00:56:14 makes it really difficult.
00:56:16 If he's not willing to move to the Gold Coast,
00:56:18 I feel like that would be the end.
00:56:20 - So on our last date nights,
00:56:22 when we were talking about this
00:56:23 and he kept saying six months,
00:56:25 I was like crying and I was like,
00:56:26 this is our last date night.
00:56:27 Like, we're just gonna be done.
00:56:29 - Is it because in your mind
00:56:30 you wanted it earlier than six months?
00:56:32 - Yes. - Okay.
00:56:33 - If you're gonna be in it,
00:56:37 you need to be in it 100% and you can't wait.
00:56:39 So in three months, I'm gonna be in the Gold Coast.
00:56:44 - Well, hey man.
00:56:45 - You gonna move to the Gold Coast?
00:56:50 - 100%, yeah.
00:56:51 It's set in stone, 100%.
00:56:53 - That's awesome.
00:56:54 - I don't care about anything else.
00:56:55 I'm filling my car up with 98 and we are going straight.
00:56:58 - Okay. - Okay, good.
00:57:00 - From frat boy to husband.
00:57:03 - Straight up.
00:57:04 - Yeah, look, Jade and I
00:57:09 have honestly boxed really, really well.
00:57:12 She hit me right in the feels
00:57:14 and I think I did the same.
00:57:15 Like the way she was looking at me and smiling at me,
00:57:17 I was just like, yep, this girl could be it for me.
00:57:19 - Next.
00:57:30 - Let's get ready to rumble.
00:57:32 Let's go.
00:57:35 - All right, show me those questions.
00:57:36 - How do you feel about me right now?
00:57:38 - I think you're a snake.
00:57:39 - Do I live up to your expectations in a pot?
00:57:41 - No.
00:57:43 - Do you have feelings for Ellie?
00:57:45 - Yes or no? - Yes or no?
00:57:49 - I, I, I, I'm--
00:57:50 - Yes or no? - Yes or no?
00:57:52 - Now, Lauren.
00:58:05 - You're up, mate.
00:58:07 - Let's get ready to rumble.
00:58:11 - Let's go.
00:58:12 - This should be fun.
00:58:13 (Lauren grunts)
00:58:14 - Shut up. - Oh, this'll be good.
00:58:16 - I don't know why Lauren has viewed everything
00:58:20 I've done so negatively.
00:58:21 I really don't.
00:58:22 - Okay, what is, oh.
00:58:24 What is the one thing you like best about me?
00:58:28 And the one thing you like least?
00:58:33 - You're on the fire.
00:58:38 - I've always said your,
00:58:41 your energy that you bring to a room.
00:58:44 The one thing you like least
00:58:47 would just be your argument style
00:58:51 on how long you've been--
00:58:52 - Right, okay, argument style.
00:58:53 Looking back, do you think you could have been
00:58:58 a better partner to me in how?
00:59:00 - I definitely, I have so many regrets in this relationship.
00:59:05 - What's the biggest regret?
00:59:06 - It's texting Ellie.
00:59:08 - If I didn't know, you'd keep doing that.
00:59:10 - My biggest regret is that--
00:59:12 - Not telling me?
00:59:13 - I never meant--
00:59:14 - But you did, like a hundred times.
00:59:17 - Yeah, sure.
00:59:18 - So a hundred times over, you're like,
00:59:20 that's gonna hurt, that's gonna hurt.
00:59:21 - I didn't realize it would hurt you,
00:59:22 and then now that I've found out it did hurt you,
00:59:23 that's my biggest regret.
00:59:24 - Okay.
00:59:25 - I know it was innocent.
00:59:30 I know there's nothing there.
00:59:32 If there was something else there,
00:59:35 I wouldn't have told her that.
00:59:37 - If I didn't know, would you have continued it,
00:59:39 and it would have become something?
00:59:42 - It wouldn't have ever become something
00:59:43 would I have continued it, yes.
00:59:45 - Well, I didn't expect that.
00:59:49 Nothing justifies that, and it wasn't on.
00:59:52 - Jono, tonight was an absolute train wreck.
00:59:56 It's hard to watch.
00:59:59 Jono's, you know, first person to jump
01:00:03 on someone else's relationship, or their issues,
01:00:05 or basically throw people under the bus.
01:00:08 I've been on the end of that many, many times,
01:00:11 so it was kind of nice to just sort of sat back
01:00:13 and watched it all unfold.
01:00:15 - Am I up to your standards
01:00:18 as a potential life partner, explain?
01:00:20 We all know the answer to that.
01:00:21 - So at the moment, no,
01:00:23 things would definitely need to change.
01:00:26 - Explain why I'm not potential as a life partner,
01:00:31 because when we sit on the couch,
01:00:32 you say, "Lauren inspires me, Lauren does this,
01:00:35 Lauren does that, I love all these things about Lauren."
01:00:38 All that's happened is that we've found out about Ellie.
01:00:41 - It has.
01:00:42 - So what's the difference?
01:00:43 - The difference is,
01:00:46 I thought that what I did,
01:00:53 I apologized the next day,
01:00:57 and you just went off at me again.
01:01:01 - How did I go off at you in that conversation?
01:01:03 - That's how I felt.
01:01:04 I felt like you were really upset at me.
01:01:06 - I was upset, so I went off at him.
01:01:08 - Ooh, now he's making it Lauren's fault.
01:01:11 He's essentially blaming Lauren for his behavior.
01:01:15 - So in that conversation, did I go off at you?
01:01:17 How?
01:01:18 - You're like, "There's not many messages
01:01:20 about me in here, are there?"
01:01:22 - He's making it Lauren's fault.
01:01:25 - It's not him taking account.
01:01:27 - No.
01:01:27 - You've messaged other people that have left.
01:01:29 You've messaged them to the same extent.
01:01:30 - Not to that 100 messages.
01:01:32 - How do you know?
01:01:33 - 'Cause I saw!
01:01:35 - You actually haven't owned your shit.
01:01:37 - No, I love it!
01:01:38 - You have tried to deflect this whole time.
01:01:40 She's in such a vulnerable place
01:01:43 where it brings her back to her ex-boyfriend
01:01:45 and texting girls behind her back,
01:01:48 and Jono wasn't really taking ownership.
01:01:51 It was like he was sitting there
01:01:52 trying to defend his part through and through.
01:01:55 I've realized I actually have no leg to stand on,
01:01:58 but at least I'm happy to take ownership for what I did.
01:02:01 - I told you I messaged her.
01:02:04 - Not one time!
01:02:05 Like, Jono, babe, you gotta shut your mouth
01:02:09 'cause you are talking some shit.
01:02:11 Jono, just look at her and say, "I'm sorry."
01:02:16 Like, stop trying to deflect on everything else
01:02:18 that's been happening.
01:02:19 - If you're talking to a girl and you've got a partner,
01:02:22 A, you don't message her 100 times,
01:02:24 B, you talk about your partner and how good you guys are.
01:02:27 So Jono definitely has some intention there
01:02:29 regardless if he thinks it or not.
01:02:32 - All right, Jono's questions.
01:02:33 - How do you feel about me right now?
01:02:36 - I think you're a snake.
01:02:37 - Sweet.
01:02:38 - Next question, next question.
01:02:39 - What do you need more of from me in this relationship?
01:02:42 - I need more honesty and more loyalty,
01:02:45 and I feel like I'm not getting it from you.
01:02:48 - Do I live up to your expectations in a partner?
01:02:50 - No.
01:02:51 - Lauren was on a warpath.
01:02:54 - Do you trust me?
01:02:56 Why, why not?
01:02:57 - I absolutely do not trust you.
01:02:59 I feel like you've completely thrown me under the bath
01:03:01 at every chance you've had.
01:03:02 Our homestay, right?
01:03:05 Did you not have a good time?
01:03:06 - I did.
01:03:07 - On the homestay, we were intimate and we reconnected,
01:03:11 and then to find out, like, you're messaging another girl.
01:03:15 That's so hurtful because we have had a good time together.
01:03:19 - So can I just ask you,
01:03:21 so on our homestays, when you initiated sex with me
01:03:25 and we had a good homestay,
01:03:26 what is the difference between then and now?
01:03:28 Your values all of a sudden appeared
01:03:30 in some goddamn epiphany.
01:03:31 - Looking back, do you think you could have been
01:03:33 a better partner to me?
01:03:34 - I'm asking you a question.
01:03:36 - Yeah, I heard your question.
01:03:37 - This is shocking.
01:03:40 - Answer then.
01:03:41 - I heard your question.
01:03:42 - But can you just answer that?
01:03:43 It's like, the fact that like--
01:03:46 - Answer the question.
01:03:47 - Oh, oh.
01:03:48 - You've had sex with me, are you serious?
01:03:52 I felt like we were in a really good place,
01:03:54 and then all of a sudden it's like,
01:03:56 stuff about Ellie's come up,
01:03:57 and it's like, he's almost trying to throw me under the bus.
01:04:00 - You treat people like shit.
01:04:02 - That's your opinion, which I don't care about anymore.
01:04:05 - You don't care about my opinion?
01:04:07 - No.
01:04:08 - Jono's so cold tonight, isn't he?
01:04:10 And dismissive and unfeeling about what's going on.
01:04:15 There's not a sense that he's embarrassed at all,
01:04:19 or sheepish.
01:04:21 - Do you have feelings for Ellie?
01:04:23 - No, I don't.
01:04:25 I don't believe him.
01:04:27 - Do you think Ellie would think the same thing
01:04:29 that you're thinking right now?
01:04:31 - That we don't have feelings for each other?
01:04:32 - Yeah. - 100%.
01:04:33 - You think so?
01:04:34 - 100%.
01:04:35 - Okay, well that's something we'll discuss
01:04:36 at the reunion then.
01:04:38 - From everything I saw and heard from Lauren and Jono,
01:04:40 I think Jono's definitely in the wrong.
01:04:42 He just needed to own his shit,
01:04:43 and not say sorry, but.
01:04:44 - You've made comments that would allude to the fact
01:04:46 that you are interested in Ellie.
01:04:48 You haven't made any of those comments
01:04:50 about any of the other women.
01:04:52 - Yeah.
01:04:52 - So, is there an alignment there?
01:04:55 - It was completely innocent,
01:04:58 and I can't wait for the reunion,
01:05:00 'cause Ellie can say the same thing.
01:05:02 - Do you think you would've had a better experience
01:05:04 if you were matched with Ellie, in all seriousness?
01:05:07 - Yes or no. - Yes or no.
01:05:10 - Yes or no. - Yes or no.
01:05:11 - Do you think you would've had a better experience
01:05:22 if you were matched with Ellie, in all seriousness?
01:05:24 - Yes or no. - Yes or no.
01:05:27 - Yes or no. - Yes or no.
01:05:28 - If I was matched with anyone else in this experiment,
01:05:33 I feel like I would've had a much easier time, yes.
01:05:36 - Ooh. - Ooh.
01:05:36 - Wow.
01:05:39 - Easier time.
01:05:40 - That's a direct dig.
01:05:43 - With Ellie. - Ellie.
01:05:44 - That includes her.
01:05:46 - Hey, let's, okay.
01:05:47 - Okay.
01:05:48 - That is a strong dig,
01:05:49 especially for somebody who was just talking
01:05:51 a couple of weeks ago about missing Lauren,
01:05:53 how great they were doing.
01:05:54 - What a back flip.
01:05:56 - So which is it?
01:05:57 He's been lying then, week after week?
01:05:58 - This is the guy that's just lied to everyone
01:06:01 and deceived his partner.
01:06:03 - You're the fakest person I've ever met in my entire life.
01:06:06 Honestly, you are a joke.
01:06:12 - Bullshit, Lauren.
01:06:13 - Enough, this is not going anywhere.
01:06:14 - You're such a fake person.
01:06:16 - This is not how I wanted tonight to go, no.
01:06:21 - At this point towards dawn,
01:06:22 I'm feeling annoyed and pissed off.
01:06:26 I'm just like, yeah, nothing, to be honest.
01:06:30 - Okay, let's move on.
01:06:31 You've done so well, Lauren.
01:06:33 - I 100% think that this has been blunt out of proportion.
01:06:37 I was completely innocent.
01:06:40 I have no plans to see Ellie outside the experiment.
01:06:44 I don't think I've done anything sinister or malicious.
01:06:47 - All right, let's move it on.
01:06:48 - Okay, okay.
01:06:49 - Let's see them.
01:06:50 - I'm first. - Let's go.
01:06:51 - Okay, go. - Let's go.
01:06:52 - How do you feel about me right now?
01:06:56 Describe your feelings.
01:06:57 - I love you.
01:07:04 (all cheering)
01:07:06 - At last, some love.
01:07:14 Thank you, Jaden.
01:07:16 - Eden will love you right now.
01:07:16 - I think Eden's pretty happy.
01:07:17 - Eden is very happy.
01:07:20 (all cheering)
01:07:22 - I was not expecting that.
01:07:26 What the hell?
01:07:27 - Aw, that's gorgeous.
01:07:32 - That is very sweet.
01:07:33 - Was that the first time he said that?
01:07:35 Oh my God.
01:07:36 - I've been wanting to say it for so long.
01:07:40 (all gasping)
01:07:42 I've been so scared.
01:07:43 - So cute.
01:07:44 - Aw, do I know how cute?
01:07:48 - I was not expecting, I just froze.
01:07:49 I was like, what?
01:07:52 - I mean, why are you, okay.
01:07:54 I'm just saying, she said it back in my ear.
01:07:55 - Yeah, I whispered it back in his ear.
01:07:57 (all gasping)
01:08:00 - I've been waiting so long,
01:08:02 literally been keeping me up at night
01:08:03 trying to think about it.
01:08:03 - Aw.
01:08:04 - I'm in love, and it was even better
01:08:06 that she said it back, you know?
01:08:07 She kind of whispered it in my ear
01:08:08 as soon as I said it.
01:08:09 She said, "I love you too," but that was good to hear.
01:08:11 - Oh my God, that's so cute.
01:08:13 - I was not expecting that.
01:08:15 I honestly was like, that took my breath away.
01:08:19 - I think that's a bit of a toast moment, buddy.
01:08:22 - Yeah!
01:08:23 - I mean, it's a massive turnaround for these two,
01:08:25 isn't it? - Yes.
01:08:26 - Because it was only a matter of a week ago
01:08:28 that they were really struggling with how they argued
01:08:31 and the gridlock they were in.
01:08:32 And now he's come away from that,
01:08:34 and maybe it's shaken him up.
01:08:35 - Yeah.
01:08:36 - And he's realized what he's got.
01:08:37 - Glad she said it back.
01:08:38 - Congratulations. - Holy shit.
01:08:40 - Jaden told Eden he loved her,
01:08:42 and then she whispered in his ear
01:08:44 that she loved him too.
01:08:45 And then it's like, we're all in love.
01:08:48 - I love that that was the first question.
01:08:50 Do we just throw the rest away now?
01:08:52 We don't need to worry about them.
01:08:53 - He just took my drink.
01:08:55 (laughing)
01:08:56 - Yeah, straight up.
01:08:57 - Sunday night.
01:09:06 After nearly three months.
01:09:10 - Ridge definitely makes me feel like
01:09:13 I can have my fairy tale.
01:09:16 - It's time for the final vows.
01:09:19 - Anything's on the cards today.
01:09:20 - Where the first three couples will decide.
01:09:23 - But I do worry about my daughter
01:09:26 and whether or not he is mature enough.
01:09:29 - Whether they will stay together beyond the experiment.
01:09:32 - I did feel like I was with someone
01:09:34 that was putting on a bit of a facade.
01:09:36 - And following Jonathan's recent betrayal.
01:09:39 - That's when I start transitioning
01:09:40 from being poor me to now I'm pissed.
01:09:42 - Just what will Lauren say to Jonathan
01:09:44 at their final vows?
01:09:46 - He had the audacity to blame me.
01:09:48 - I don't wanna stay and waste anyone's time
01:09:52 if it's not gonna work out.
01:09:53 But ultimately, I need to do what's right for me.
01:09:55 - If he hurts her, I'll kill him.
01:09:57 - Is this the blind side Tori has been dreading?
01:10:01 - I don't think Jack's going to reject me,
01:10:03 but if he did, I don't know what I would do.
01:10:07 - Tori, I'm sorry to say, we are not in love.
01:10:11 So how can I commit to you and ask you to uproot
01:10:14 and move your life to the Gold Coast?
