00:00:00 (dramatic music)
00:00:02 - Over 12 weeks ago.
00:00:04 - I have been hurt in the past.
00:00:05 I need someone to be 100% in for me.
00:00:09 - Our hopeful singles took an enormous leap of faith.
00:00:13 Marrying a complete stranger.
00:00:16 - I'm so ready to be happy and in love.
00:00:20 - In the search for true love.
00:00:23 - I've dreamt about this moment all of my life.
00:00:25 (beep)
00:00:29 - Was I what you were expecting?
00:00:31 - Yeah, exceeded expectations.
00:00:33 - Really?
00:00:34 Okay.
00:00:34 - Then after three months in the experiment,
00:00:41 our five remaining couples attended their final dinner party.
00:00:46 That led to Eden and Jayden's incredible milestone.
00:00:50 - I love you.
00:00:51 (crowd cheering)
00:00:53 - I mean, bloody hell, in love.
00:00:55 And it was even better that she said it back.
00:00:58 - Cheers to Jono texting Ellie.
00:01:00 - When Jonathan was caught out texting former bride Ellie.
00:01:04 - There is nothing going on there at all.
00:01:06 - Lauren let loose.
00:01:08 - A hundred messages.
00:01:09 - How do you know?
00:01:10 - On my floor.
00:01:12 - You are a joke.
00:01:13 - And the arrival of the honesty box
00:01:15 could not have come at a worse time for Jonathan.
00:01:18 - How do you feel about me right now?
00:01:19 - I think you're a snake.
00:01:20 - Do I live up to your expectations in a pot?
00:01:23 - No.
00:01:24 - Then it was the last chance for our final five couples
00:01:26 to answer the tough questions.
00:01:29 - Are you falling in love with me?
00:01:30 - Do you trust that I'm in this for the long haul?
00:01:32 - How attracted are you to me sexually?
00:01:35 - Before they leave for their final vow ceremonies.
00:01:38 - Do you believe that I am over my ex?
00:01:41 - Oh.
00:01:42 - Tonight, after nearly three months.
00:01:52 - The bridge definitely makes me feel like
00:01:55 I can have my fairy tale.
00:01:58 - It's time for the final vows.
00:02:01 - Anything's on the cards today.
00:02:02 - Where the first three couples will decide.
00:02:06 - But I do worry about my daughter
00:02:08 and whether or not he is mature enough.
00:02:11 - Whether they will stay together beyond the experiment.
00:02:14 - I did feel like I was with someone
00:02:16 that was putting on a bit of a facade.
00:02:18 - And following Jonathan's recent betrayal.
00:02:21 - That's when I start transitioning from being
00:02:23 poor me to now I'm pissed.
00:02:24 - Just what will Lauren say to Jonathan
00:02:26 at their final vows?
00:02:28 - He had the audacity to blame me.
00:02:30 - I don't wanna stay and waste anyone's time
00:02:34 if it's not gonna work out.
00:02:35 But ultimately, I need to do what's right for me.
00:02:37 - If he hurts her, I'll kill him.
00:02:40 - Is this the blind side Tori has been dreading?
00:02:43 - I don't think Jack's going to reject me.
00:02:45 If he did, I don't know what I would do.
00:02:50 - Tori, I'm sorry to say, we are not in love.
00:02:53 So how can I commit to you and ask you to uproot
00:02:56 and move your life to the Gold Coast?
00:02:58 - Today marks the end of the experiment
00:03:15 for our five remaining couples.
00:03:18 (dramatic music)
00:03:21 Aiden and Jaden.
00:03:23 Sarah and Tim.
00:03:27 Tori and Jack.
00:03:32 - Now what?
00:03:33 Now what do I do?
00:03:34 - This yours, babe?
00:03:35 - This is it.
00:03:36 - Jade and Ridge.
00:03:37 - No, it's not mine.
00:03:38 - What other girls have you had in here?
00:03:40 (laughing)
00:03:42 - And Lauren and Jonathan.
00:03:44 (dramatic music)
00:03:47 They have all made the decision
00:03:50 to go all the way to final vows.
00:03:52 And today they will say their goodbyes
00:03:55 and spend time apart to consider the future
00:03:58 of their relationship and whether they will continue
00:04:01 as a couple beyond the experiment.
00:04:04 - Wait a second.
00:04:06 - Oh yeah, we're gonna take one of those, eh?
00:04:08 - They will then reveal their decision
00:04:10 when they meet again at final vows.
00:04:13 - One for you and one for me.
00:04:15 - Ooh, can't forget those.
00:04:17 - The final vows is the last phase of the experiment.
00:04:21 Our couples must now go back to their respective homes
00:04:24 to reflect on their time in the experiment
00:04:27 before they make the life-changing decision
00:04:30 on whether to remain as a couple or go their separate ways.
00:04:33 This time will prove testing for our couples
00:04:36 as they will begin to question if their relationship
00:04:38 will be strong enough to continue
00:04:40 when they leave the bubble of the experiment.
00:04:42 (gentle music)
00:04:44 For Jade and Ridge, the reality of saying goodbye
00:04:48 to the experiment and each other is starting to set in.
00:04:52 - I'm a bit sad.
00:04:55 - How are you gonna cope without me?
00:04:58 - Yeah, look, I think I'll get separation anxiety pretty bad.
00:05:02 - I'm so used to waking up and seeing you there.
00:05:06 - Yeah, I know, 100%.
00:05:08 It's definitely been an unreal experience, babe,
00:05:10 and I'm really happy that I got to do it with you.
00:05:12 Made all the difference.
00:05:14 People have the things they wanna say about the experiment
00:05:18 and they reckon it's all crap.
00:05:19 But having lived through it now,
00:05:23 I can honestly hand over heart say that it does work
00:05:26 because look at us.
00:05:28 You can't fake the feelings that I have for you.
00:05:33 - Yeah, I'm definitely all in with Jade,
00:05:35 and I need to prove that to her.
00:05:37 I'm actually really into her.
00:05:39 I don't really want anyone else but her.
00:05:41 She definitely makes me feel a certain way
00:05:43 that most girls haven't.
00:05:46 So she makes me excited for the future, big time.
00:05:49 - I feel like the honesty box was a good finish
00:05:51 to last night as well.
00:05:53 'Cause obviously, I would never tell you these things
00:05:56 if I didn't have to.
00:05:57 - All right, Ridge and Jade, all attention on you.
00:06:01 - Jade, describe how you feel about me.
00:06:07 - I feel like I like you a lot.
00:06:11 You've made it very hard for me not to get feelings.
00:06:14 But I feel like you've really come in here
00:06:16 and literally swept me off my feet
00:06:19 with everything you've done.
00:06:21 - Do you want me a part of your life, Envies?
00:06:25 - Yes.
00:06:35 - The honesty box made me so horny for you.
00:06:37 - Oh, okay.
00:06:40 - I don't know, like an affection erection.
00:06:42 I got one for you bad last night.
00:06:43 - What is wrong with you?
00:06:47 - What?
00:06:48 It was really wholesome, babe.
00:06:50 - I'll never get used to some of the things he says,
00:06:53 but I do love his stupid, silly side, though.
00:06:58 (laughing)
00:07:00 - You know that melting emoji?
00:07:03 (laughing)
00:07:05 - Obviously I can joke a lot,
00:07:07 but I'm trying to show her another side of me,
00:07:10 you know, the more serious side.
00:07:12 Having a background as a trained psychiatric nurse,
00:07:15 you have to mature quick.
00:07:17 It's a very unique career.
00:07:18 It's not for everyone,
00:07:19 but it's really helped me in terms of my relationships.
00:07:22 I can be serious when it comes down to it,
00:07:27 and I needed her to know that.
00:07:28 I started looking at jobs at Queensland Health this morning.
00:07:31 (laughing)
00:07:33 So I'll be on the lookout for some psych jobs up there.
00:07:37 I've never been in a situation like this before.
00:07:45 I've also never felt this way about a girl before.
00:07:48 - But before they say their goodbyes,
00:07:52 the experts have a surprise for Jade and Rich.
00:07:56 - Look what I got.
00:07:58 - A look back at where it all began
00:08:01 with their wedding video.
00:08:03 - Are you ready?
00:08:04 - Oh, it's our wedding day.
00:08:08 - Hey, how are you?
00:08:18 - Hello, how are you? - Nice to meet you.
00:08:19 - Nice to meet you.
00:08:20 - You look gorgeous.
00:08:21 - Thank you, you too.
00:08:22 - Go for it.
00:08:23 - A few weeks ago, I told my best friend
00:08:27 that I wanted an arranged marriage
00:08:29 and have the love of my life handed to me on a platter.
00:08:32 So here I am, hopefully standing in front of him,
00:08:34 feeling very nervous.
00:08:36 The wedding video definitely made me feel very emotional.
00:08:41 It made me realize how far Rich and I have come
00:08:45 from being complete strangers to where we are today.
00:08:48 - I definitely got a bit choked up seeing that video
00:08:53 just because all the emotion just came back through.
00:08:56 - Yeah, it definitely hit me in the feels.
00:08:58 Such a special day and it's a day we'll both remember
00:09:00 for the rest of our lives.
00:09:02 - Congratulations, you may now kiss.
00:09:04 (group cheering)
00:09:09 - Oh, that was really cute. - Oh, that was so sweet.
00:09:17 Are you good, you're crying?
00:09:18 - No, my eyes are watering.
00:09:20 (laughing)
00:09:22 - I want this to last, babe.
00:09:23 I really do.
00:09:25 - I'm just saying this now.
00:09:26 (beep)
00:09:28 It feels bad, eh?
00:09:30 Oh, shit.
00:09:31 I don't wanna have to imagine a life without you.
00:09:36 That's why I wanna do everything I can to make it work.
00:09:39 Okay?
00:09:41 (laughing)
00:09:43 - Rich means a lot more to me than I expected he would.
00:09:47 I appreciate every second I've spent with him.
00:09:55 - See you soon, all right?
00:09:56 Okay?
00:09:57 Say it's a lot of time, miss you, and get home, okay?
00:10:01 - It definitely is hard saying goodbye.
00:10:04 I feel like it's gonna be a sad fly time.
00:10:08 - Bye, darling. - Bye.
00:10:15 - While Jade and Ridge are dreading their time apart,
00:10:22 it's a very different story with Lauren and Jonathan,
00:10:26 who are spending the last morning of the experiment
00:10:30 in separate apartments
00:10:31 after last night's explosive dinner party.
00:10:35 - Lauren and I are not in a very good place at the moment.
00:10:39 Let's probably putting it lightly.
00:10:41 Last night got really ugly.
00:10:46 - Woke up today feeling shitty.
00:10:52 It's making me sick,
00:10:53 so if you just think about it, to be honest.
00:10:56 - Cheers to Jono texting Ellie.
00:10:58 - Ooh, I like that.
00:11:01 - I really hope that the outcome last night
00:11:04 was that Jono was gonna be accountable to the group,
00:11:07 be accountable to me,
00:11:08 and we could figure out a way around this.
00:11:10 But Jono was not accountable to me or the group,
00:11:16 and it went up in flames.
00:11:19 - You've messaged other people that have left.
00:11:20 You've messaged them to the same extent.
00:11:22 - Not for that, a hundred messages.
00:11:24 - How do you know?
00:11:25 - 'Cause I saw!
00:11:27 - I was just so hurt.
00:11:29 I thought we had good times.
00:11:31 I thought we were doing really well.
00:11:33 I can't believe you were messaging Ellie
00:11:36 after Perth homestays.
00:11:37 I think I've just been completely blindsided.
00:11:42 - Do you think you would have had a better experience
00:11:45 if you were matched with Ellie, in all seriousness?
00:11:47 - If I was matched with anyone else in this experiment,
00:11:50 I feel like I would have had a much easier time.
00:11:53 - Ooh.
00:11:54 - Wow.
00:11:56 I mean, this just puts all of those texts
00:11:58 in a whole new light.
00:12:00 - Yeah.
00:12:00 - Absolutely do not trust you.
00:12:02 I feel like you've completely thrown me under the bus.
00:12:04 - That's your opinion, which I don't care about anymore.
00:12:07 - So you don't care about my opinion?
00:12:09 - No!
00:12:10 - There was no remorse or anything in him.
00:12:19 He was like goddamn Patrick Bateman.
00:12:22 He was like Australian psycho.
00:12:23 This is such a betrayal, like it's...
00:12:29 The most disloyal person I've ever met in my life.
00:12:34 I'm actually just really angry.
00:12:37 I think a lot of things were said
00:12:40 that are pretty hard to come back from.
00:12:43 Especially for someone else that's messaging someone
00:12:47 that's behind my back.
00:12:48 I'm just not going to do that.
00:12:49 I have got a really low tolerance
00:12:53 for bullshit at this point.
00:12:54 - Packed up everything today.
00:13:01 Can't wait to get the (beep) out of this shit show.
00:13:06 That's my honest opinion.
00:13:11 That was the most honest thing I've said.
00:13:16 - But before they leave the experiment,
00:13:18 Lauren and Jonathan's wedding video
00:13:20 has been sent to both apartments
00:13:22 to help them reflect on their time together.
00:13:24 - Oh boy.
00:13:25 - Before they separate in anticipation
00:13:28 of seeing each other again for final vows.
00:13:31 - The music kills me, seriously.
00:13:33 Why are they cute?
00:13:48 (gentle music)
00:13:51 - Oh wow, she's actually good looking.
00:13:55 - She's actually good looking.
00:13:56 - Hi, how are you doing? - Hi, how are you?
00:14:00 - I'm Jonathan. - Nice to meet you.
00:14:02 I actually got these out of the grass
00:14:03 'cause I'm not really okay.
00:14:05 I really do come across as a very (beep) crazy.
00:14:08 - Lauren, I have a big sense of humor
00:14:13 and I love to laugh. - Good.
00:14:15 - I'm fluent in sarcasm. - Great.
00:14:17 - Sometimes I can go too far.
00:14:19 - Oh, that never happened.
00:14:22 - Oh my God, I wrote these when I was drunk, so.
00:14:25 I'm spontaneous, fun, extremely passionate and loyal.
00:14:30 - Loyal, key word.
00:14:31 - Google that word, Jono.
00:14:32 I'm excited to see what this adventure has in store
00:14:36 for the two of us completing our jobs.
00:14:38 (laughing)
00:14:40 - I remember saying,
00:14:42 "God, I think they've actually found me the one.
00:14:44 "I think this could be it."
00:14:46 And to go from that to sort of where we're at now
00:14:51 is really disappointing.
00:14:53 - You did that so well. - Thank you.
00:14:57 - Lauren and Jonathan,
00:14:58 now you have entrusted your hearts to one another.
00:15:02 Your husband and wife, please say your love with a kiss.
00:15:05 (cheering)
00:15:08 - Where do we go now?
00:15:11 We go, all right, see you all soon.
00:15:13 - All right, run.
00:15:14 (laughing)
00:15:17 - You did so good.
00:15:18 - Thank you, so did you.
00:15:19 - Oh, that was lovely.
00:15:25 (laughing)
00:15:28 - What do you think?
00:15:30 - Jono, it was just as boring as ever, but.
00:15:32 - We had the most amazing day.
00:15:42 (sighing)
00:15:44 So sad that things have gone so badly.
00:15:49 But yeah, we had the most amazing day.
00:15:53 It was really nice.
00:15:54 Thank you, experts, for rubbing in my face
00:15:59 how bad it is now.
00:16:00 - It's the last day of living together
00:16:10 for the experiment's most controversial couple,
00:16:13 Tori and Jack.
00:16:15 - Look.
00:16:16 It's us. - I want one.
00:16:19 - Are you gonna put this beside your bed?
00:16:22 - You bet.
00:16:23 - Despite the many questions that have hung over Jack
00:16:26 and if his feelings are genuine towards his wife,
00:16:29 Tori has remained steadfast in her commitment
00:16:32 to their marriage and Jack throughout the experiment.
00:16:36 - Jack and I have come so far.
00:16:38 We've, I feel like we've weathered life's hardest storm.
00:16:43 I know we have absolutely had some lows,
00:16:45 but the lows aren't between him and I.
00:16:49 The lows are him and I versus the experiment.
00:16:53 - What makes their relationship fake?
00:16:55 - The sex thing, you know?
00:16:57 Jack's a sexual person, you're a sexual person.
00:17:00 It's not happening.
00:17:01 - Tori, open your eyes.
00:17:04 Please don't insult my intelligence.
00:17:07 - I don't care how it looks.
00:17:10 We know what it is and we are confident in that.
00:17:12 I'm not an idiot and if I felt like
00:17:14 I was being led down the garden path
00:17:16 and if I felt like Jack wasn't into me,
00:17:19 I promise you I wouldn't be sitting here.
00:17:21 So whatever anyone else has to say,
00:17:24 God bless, that's your opinion.
00:17:25 - Tori, are you for real?
00:17:28 - Am I for real?
00:17:30 - Yes.
00:17:31 - Yeah.
00:17:33 - After what has been going on throughout this experiment
00:17:36 with Jack's behavior towards women,
00:17:38 towards people in the group, towards you.
00:17:40 - Do I accept his wrongdoings?
00:17:42 No.
00:17:43 But I don't hold them against him.
00:17:46 It was like a barrage of shit for 12 weeks.
00:17:53 Every time we did get like a new, you know,
00:17:56 round of grilling and roasting, we banded closer together.
00:18:00 And you know, an attraction comes from
00:18:03 supporting one another.
00:18:05 We have come a long way and I would say
00:18:08 that I am falling in love with Jack.
00:18:10 There's no doubts there.
00:18:11 We've not actually spoken about this.
00:18:14 Final vows.
00:18:15 - Oh yeah.
00:18:16 - What are you gonna say to me?
00:18:17 - I don't know, the next time I see you.
00:18:18 - Do you know what you're gonna say?
00:18:22 - Oh, I think I'm--
00:18:23 - Surely you can give me like a little hint.
00:18:24 Like, am I gonna be like--
00:18:26 - A little bit of a hand.
00:18:27 - Like a--
00:18:28 (kissing)
00:18:30 - Yeah, nah, be wild.
00:18:34 - Oh, Jesus.
00:18:35 I do feel quite infatuated with Jack
00:18:39 and Jack has made me feel really comfortable to
00:18:41 kind of break through a really hard,
00:18:44 stern exterior that I've had.
00:18:46 I've never felt this vulnerable.
00:18:50 This is our first time apart.
00:18:55 Remember being here, being like,
00:19:00 I'm not a codependent person
00:19:02 and I feel like the way I'm acting right now is like,
00:19:05 giving codependency and it's disgusting.
00:19:08 (laughing)
00:19:11 Disgusting.
00:19:12 - Definitely seen a different Tori the last week.
00:19:14 - Okay, so--
00:19:15 - Coming into the end.
00:19:16 Tori has started wigging out a little bit
00:19:19 ever since like, probably a week, a week and a bit ago.
00:19:23 - What you're saying is, if he doesn't reciprocate this,
00:19:27 if he doesn't come back to you--
00:19:28 - I'll close up.
00:19:28 - Yeah.
00:19:29 - You'll close up for good.
00:19:30 - You've never said that, that you would close up
00:19:33 if this didn't work out and I do have concerns
00:19:35 that I'm gonna let you down.
00:19:36 I'm 34 and single, so, you know,
00:19:40 I've let people down before.
00:19:42 Now I've started putting this pressure on me.
00:19:45 - If you wanna go, like, go now.
00:19:46 - I think Tori has a lot of expectation.
00:19:53 It's making me nervous.
00:19:54 Puts more pressure onto me and my decision.
00:19:57 Tori's very sweet and I do care for her.
00:20:00 But ultimately, I need to do what's right for me
00:20:02 and my future, so I've gotta weigh all this up.
00:20:05 The experiment's one thing, but this is real life now.
00:20:08 Like, there's no turning back.
00:20:10 It's a massive decision to make.
00:20:12 Home time.
00:20:13 I've gotta leave ya.
00:20:15 - Saying goodbye to him was not nice.
00:20:21 I've been coexisting so seamlessly in this space
00:20:26 with this human and I'll call myself a human.
00:20:28 And I'll call this human and I'll call my husband
00:20:31 and I'm gonna miss him.
00:20:32 - Thanks for the ride.
00:20:36 - I think it'll hit me when I'm, like,
00:20:40 sitting in the corner of the airport,
00:20:42 bawling my eyes out.
00:20:43 - Bye.
00:20:44 - This is gonna be hard on Tori, but
00:20:47 as much as I love Sky and this experiment,
00:20:51 I can't wait to leave it behind me.
00:20:56 - Absence makes the heart grow fonder, so.
00:21:00 - Let's see.
00:21:00 - With the impending final vows weighing heavily
00:21:11 on their minds, the first three couples
00:21:14 have left Sky Suites for some time alone.
00:21:25 To contemplate whether to continue their relationship
00:21:28 beyond the experiment or leave their marriages for good.
00:21:33 In Sydney, Ridge has wasted no time catching up
00:21:51 for cocktails with his mate, Chris.
00:21:54 - Hiya.
00:21:55 - Who is shocked to see the change in Ridge's maturity
00:21:59 after his time in the experiment.
00:22:01 - If you asked me when I first came into the experiment
00:22:03 if I would move for the girl who I was gonna be matched with,
00:22:05 obviously I would have said, "F, no."
00:22:06 - Yeah, I know you would have.
00:22:07 - Massive no. - Yeah.
00:22:08 - But I can't deny the connection that I do have
00:22:12 with Jade, it's obviously strong.
00:22:13 - It's good.
00:22:14 - I didn't think I was ever gonna go into this experiment
00:22:16 by feeling the way I do for her.
00:22:17 - Really? - Yeah, man.
00:22:19 - What? - Yeah.
00:22:20 - Seriously, wake me up when it's all over.
00:22:21 I've never seen Ridge this way.
00:22:24 And I don't know what she's done to him
00:22:26 or if she's cast a spell over him, but this is strange.
00:22:29 So that's how you know he's really into Jade.
00:22:32 So she's changed your whole outlook on this experiment.
00:22:35 - She changed my whole outlook on our relationship.
00:22:37 - Wow, so you found love.
00:22:39 - Man, I haven't dropped the elbow on me yet.
00:22:43 I was close, man.
00:22:43 - Man, who is this bloke?
00:22:45 (laughing)
00:22:46 - Let her bring me out of this shit.
00:22:48 - Where'd Ridge go?
00:22:49 I've never seen him like this, he's changed.
00:22:51 He's done a full 180.
00:22:53 It's a very different Ridge.
00:22:55 She's even made him change his look.
00:22:56 I mean, he's looking like Tony Montana now with the chains.
00:22:59 (laughing)
00:23:02 - I'm finally in a position where I do like a girl.
00:23:04 And I did say, if I didn't meet a girl
00:23:05 who I was like that into and I could see a future with,
00:23:08 that I'd do everything and anything I could to make it work.
00:23:10 - Seeing my mate's happy is very important to me.
00:23:13 And you know, that's what matters at the end of the day.
00:23:17 If he's happy and if he's confident in his decision,
00:23:20 then I'll back him 100%.
00:23:22 So I just hope he follows his heart.
00:23:24 - I would miss you, I would.
00:23:26 Like we've been best friends for so long.
00:23:28 But it's a sign of us growing up, I guess.
00:23:30 Which sucks.
00:23:31 (laughing)
00:23:33 - Oh God.
00:23:34 - On the Gold Coast, Jade has returned to her family home.
00:23:48 - It definitely feels really good being home.
00:23:51 However, it feels empty without Ridge.
00:23:55 Ridge definitely makes me feel like I can have my fairy tale.
00:24:03 (laughing)
00:24:07 - She's everything that I've wanted in a partner.
00:24:17 She has it all.
00:24:19 - Aw, I love that.
00:24:21 - Just know that you deserve someone to treat you well and.
00:24:25 (laughing)
00:24:28 - You guys are so cute.
00:24:32 - Are you guys still absolutely adoring each other?
00:24:35 - I'm still the love heart emoji every time I see her.
00:24:37 So yeah.
00:24:38 - And like now, I'm just having the best time.
00:24:46 - I don't know what to tell you really.
00:24:48 Like, I would say Ridge and I are basically meant to be.
00:24:53 - With final vows around the corner,
00:25:04 this is Jade's last chance to have a heart to heart
00:25:07 with her mum.
00:25:09 To share the happy news that she thinks Ridge is the one.
00:25:13 - Thank you.
00:25:14 I do see like a future with Ridge.
00:25:20 - Yeah.
00:25:21 - His personality, the affection,
00:25:24 like the playfulness, everything.
00:25:26 He has made me feel like I am the most important person
00:25:31 in his life.
00:25:32 - But bear in mind, it's only been five weeks.
00:25:37 - I know that.
00:25:40 - That's all sunshine and roses now.
00:25:42 You know, you're all in this bubble.
00:25:44 - Yeah.
00:25:45 - What about after the bubble?
00:25:46 - Yeah.
00:25:49 - Then you're back to reality.
00:25:50 Is he ready to walk into a family?
00:25:56 - Still to come.
00:26:00 - I didn't think this was an issue.
00:26:02 - One of the most intense final vows ever seen.
00:26:10 - I know it's not me.
00:26:12 It's you.
00:26:13 - And?
00:26:14 - I'm concerned that our biggest connecting factor
00:26:17 may have been the brutal environment of the experiment,
00:26:20 where our loyal personalities bonded like teammates.
00:26:23 - Is this the blind side Tori has been dreading?
00:26:27 - I'm sorry to say, I didn't commit myself to this process
00:26:29 for a platonic relationship, nor a teammate.
00:26:32 (dramatic music)
00:26:35 - With final vows fast approaching,
00:26:47 Jade is having a last minute catch up with her mum
00:26:50 to discuss her hopes for a future with Ridge,
00:26:53 who she believes is the one.
00:26:56 - I do see like a future with Ridge.
00:27:00 - Yeah.
00:27:01 - His personality, the affection,
00:27:04 like the playfulness, everything.
00:27:07 He has made me feel like I am the most important person
00:27:11 in his life.
00:27:12 - But bear in mind, it's only been five weeks.
00:27:17 - I know that.
00:27:19 - That's all sunshine and roses now.
00:27:21 You know, you're all in this bubble.
00:27:22 - Yeah.
00:27:23 - What about after the bubble?
00:27:24 - Yeah.
00:27:27 - Then you're back to reality.
00:27:29 (dramatic music)
00:27:31 - Mum definitely caught me off guard.
00:27:35 I don't know, I was not expecting her reaction.
00:27:37 - Is he ready to walk into a family?
00:27:41 Because you and Victoria are family.
00:27:44 You come as a package deal.
00:27:45 Is he really ready for that?
00:27:48 That's my biggest concern.
00:27:56 But then I just feel like you don't really
00:27:59 know until like it's put to the test.
00:28:02 - Well, that's what concerns me.
00:28:06 I just don't want you to get hurt again.
00:28:13 Like I've told you that so many times.
00:28:15 I just don't want you to get hurt again.
00:28:18 I just need you to think about this
00:28:24 so desperately that, yeah,
00:28:27 so you know exactly what you're doing.
00:28:29 - I definitely will.
00:28:33 - I've seen Jade get hurt and the pain she goes through.
00:28:40 Yeah, I think that's,
00:28:43 I just don't want to see her like that
00:28:45 because I just think when is it Jade's time
00:28:48 for her to just be happy now?
00:28:50 I just want Jade to have a happy life now
00:28:54 and just move forward.
00:28:56 I just think you need to sit long and hard
00:29:01 and really think about things.
00:29:03 - Yeah.
00:29:06 - Today's the day of final vows
00:29:19 where Jade and Ridge must make a choice.
00:29:22 Will they commit to a future together
00:29:24 beyond the experiment
00:29:26 or walk away forever?
00:29:30 - Final vows is here.
00:29:35 Jade's got everything that I've ever asked for in a partner.
00:29:43 I asked for it from the experts and they gave it to me.
00:29:47 Thank them for my dream girl.
00:29:52 I've grown feelings for this girl very quickly.
00:29:55 I'm starting to feel these things
00:29:57 that I've never felt for a girl before.
00:29:59 It's, yeah, scary.
00:30:01 She does bring out the best version of myself.
00:30:05 I didn't even know this version of myself existed
00:30:07 up until I met her.
00:30:08 Obviously I came from a boys' boys' background
00:30:11 with partying and going out was what I did all the time.
00:30:14 But now I'm starting to think about my future.
00:30:18 She hasn't changed me.
00:30:20 She's adjusted me and refined me,
00:30:22 which I do adore in her
00:30:25 because no one else has been able to tame the beast.
00:30:28 - Today's decision,
00:30:35 I feel like there is a lot to think about.
00:30:38 My feelings for Ridge
00:30:43 are definitely unexpected.
00:30:48 I have never dated anyone like Ridge before.
00:30:51 He has gone above and beyond,
00:30:55 like giving me affection, attention.
00:30:58 He definitely goes the extra mile to make me feel special,
00:31:04 which I've never had from a partner.
00:31:07 But after talking to my mom,
00:31:12 some of the questions I ask myself are
00:31:16 whether or not he is ready to be a good father figure to be.
00:31:20 I do worry about my daughter
00:31:27 and whether Ridge can step up
00:31:29 because I don't want her to get attached to someone
00:31:34 and then have them let her down as well.
00:31:36 (dramatic music)
00:31:39 - Next.
00:31:48 - I've waited 28 years for you
00:31:50 and I don't want to waste any more time
00:31:51 because I can't wait to start our own little fairy tale
00:31:53 together.
00:31:54 - Has Ridge done enough to assure Jade
00:31:57 that he is ready for a lifelong commitment?
00:32:00 - I struggle to understand your childlike humour
00:32:03 and behaviour.
00:32:04 I worry that you'll let me down by running away
00:32:06 because you'll realise you're not ready
00:32:08 and that would break my heart.
00:32:10 (dramatic music)
00:32:13 (dramatic music)
00:32:23 (dramatic music)
00:32:26 (dramatic music)
00:32:38 (dramatic music)
00:32:41 (dramatic music)
00:32:54 (dramatic music)
00:33:07 (dramatic music)
00:33:10 - How you going, Grace?
00:33:19 (dramatic music)
00:33:22 You okay?
00:33:27 - Yeah.
00:33:28 - Are you nervous?
00:33:29 - Yeah.
00:33:30 - Should we start?
00:33:32 Okay.
00:33:35 (sighs)
00:33:36 Here we go, here goes nothing.
00:33:37 Jade, I firstly wanted to thank you
00:33:41 for coming along this wild journey with me.
00:33:43 It's crazy to think how much we've grown as individuals
00:33:48 and together since the day you met the king of the jungle
00:33:50 at Taronga Zoo all those weeks ago.
00:33:52 Standing at the end of the aisle, waiting for you.
00:33:56 My palms are sweaty.
00:34:00 I felt hot.
00:34:04 And this is probably the most nervous I've felt in my life.
00:34:07 Then I turned to face you
00:34:10 and I thought that you were gorgeous.
00:34:13 And I just might give you the chance
00:34:17 to get to know the real me.
00:34:18 Hey, how are you?
00:34:21 - Hello, how are you?
00:34:22 - How are you?
00:34:23 - Are you good?
00:34:24 You look gorgeous.
00:34:24 - Thank you, you too.
00:34:25 Worth the wait.
00:34:26 - Oh yeah.
00:34:27 As we got to the later stages of the experiment,
00:34:34 it became obvious to me that I would have to be the one
00:34:36 to uproot my entire life to make this relationship work.
00:34:39 I would have to give up my job,
00:34:42 move away from my friends and family
00:34:44 and leave the only city I've ever called home,
00:34:46 which is obviously a lot for me.
00:34:48 It did make me question if I did really wanna leave it all
00:34:53 for a girl I met just nine weeks ago.
00:34:54 Jade,
00:35:02 in the time we've spent together,
00:35:04 you've managed to bring out an even better version of myself
00:35:07 one I wasn't even sure existed.
00:35:09 You've helped me mature from a boy's boy
00:35:13 to the type of man I hope you'd be proud to have
00:35:16 not just in your life, but in Vy's too.
00:35:18 You've shown me what it truly means to be vulnerable,
00:35:23 to open up and to allow someone
00:35:24 to make me feel something serious
00:35:26 for the first time in my life.
00:35:31 I remember in your friend's wedding speech,
00:35:34 she said you needed someone who'd be obsessed with you.
00:35:36 When I first heard it, I straight away thought,
00:35:40 well, she isn't gonna be the one for me
00:35:41 because I'd never be like that.
00:35:43 But I can say this from my heart
00:35:48 that I'm 100% obsessed with you.
00:35:50 Coming into this experiment,
00:35:54 I was hesitant and I wasn't expecting much.
00:35:58 However, I'm confident I see a future with you
00:36:01 and I'm so happy that the experts matched us.
00:36:03 I stand here today ready to make the move up
00:36:07 to the Gold Coast for you.
00:36:08 My plan is to move up and be with you
00:36:11 within the next three months.
00:36:12 I've waited 28 years for you
00:36:17 and I don't want to waste any more time
00:36:18 because I can't wait to start our own little fairytale together.
00:36:21 - That was really cute.
00:36:24 - Thanks, honey.
00:36:24 - I really liked what you put in there.
00:36:28 - Did you like it?
00:36:28 - Yeah.
00:36:30 You did well.
00:36:31 - Thanks, babe.
00:36:31 - Oh gosh, does this mean it's my turn?
00:36:35 - Cheer up.
00:36:37 - Okay.
00:36:38 Rich, well, where do I start?
00:36:40 I remember our wedding day.
00:36:44 I was feeling a mixture of emotions,
00:36:46 nerve, excitement, and happiness.
00:36:49 But when you turned around for the first time
00:36:52 and I saw your smile,
00:36:54 I began to feel more at ease.
00:36:58 I thought the ex-husband might've actually got this right.
00:37:01 But at the start of the experiment,
00:37:05 I really struggled to see your true potential.
00:37:09 I questioned your maturity levels at times.
00:37:13 I struggled to understand your childlike humor and behavior.
00:37:19 I really didn't like it.
00:37:22 I came into this wanting a mature partner
00:37:26 to be looked after rather than being a parent to my partner.
00:37:29 So I questioned if we were really suited as a couple.
00:37:34 I came into this experiment as a package deal.
00:37:40 The most important thing in my life is my daughter, Vee.
00:37:43 She's not only my daughter, but also my best friend.
00:37:46 And introducing you to her was a big deal to me.
00:37:49 When you met Vee, it was smooth sailing.
00:37:55 This was huge for me because I don't want another man
00:37:57 coming into Vee's life and leaving again.
00:38:00 I need commitment and reassurance
00:38:02 and a partner in it for the long haul.
00:38:04 I worry that you'll let me down by running away
00:38:10 because you'll realize you're not ready
00:38:12 and that would break my heart.
00:38:13 In the past, I have expected the best
00:38:18 and received the worst.
00:38:19 And the pain I've experienced is something
00:38:21 I never want to feel in a relationship again.
00:38:23 (dramatic music)
00:38:26 I know I'm worth more than that.
00:38:28 I firmly believe that everything happens for a reason
00:38:35 and I have no doubt in my mind
00:38:37 that everything I have been through was worth it
00:38:39 to have you standing here in front of me.
00:38:41 - Oh, that's really cute.
00:38:44 - You have shown me what it's like
00:38:45 to believe in a fairy tale ending.
00:38:47 I am all in on this.
00:38:50 I'm here for you no matter what.
00:38:53 I am confident the experts got it right
00:38:55 and you are my person.
00:38:56 I stand here today, walls down,
00:39:00 and can't wait to continue this wild ride with you.
00:39:03 You're stuck with me now.
00:39:04 I'm ready to take this leap of faith with you.
00:39:07 So don't mess it up.
00:39:08 - I won't.
00:39:09 (laughing)
00:39:11 That was really cute.
00:39:16 - Thanks. - That was really cute.
00:39:18 - I worked really hard on that.
00:39:20 - That was cute.
00:39:22 - No, I won't mess it up.
00:39:23 Hold on.
00:39:24 I adore you, babe.
00:39:27 You know that?
00:39:28 - I know. - I know.
00:39:30 Should we go?
00:39:33 - Yeah. - Let's go.
00:39:34 Don't fall.
00:39:37 - Oh!
00:39:39 - How you feeling?
00:39:42 - Good.
00:39:44 - Obviously she's ready to scoop you,
00:39:45 but yeah, feeling as good as a dog with two dicks.
00:39:47 I got the girl.
00:39:48 (upbeat music)
00:39:51 - Is it too late to change my mind?
00:39:54 (laughing)
00:39:57 - I'm excited for our future, babe.
00:40:00 And I will, I'll be coming up.
00:40:02 I'll come up real quick.
00:40:03 - Obviously we need to plan for the future
00:40:07 and get things moving.
00:40:09 Otherwise you're done.
00:40:12 (upbeat music)
00:40:16 (dramatic music)
00:40:19 - We did it, we made it.
00:40:20 We're playing Marvin Gaye tonight.
00:40:22 Can't wait.
00:40:23 Let's go.
00:40:26 - Still to come.
00:40:30 - Hi.
00:40:31 - You ready for this?
00:40:32 - Hello would have been normal.
00:40:35 - Lauren speaks her mind.
00:40:37 - No, it's not me.
00:40:39 It's you.
00:40:40 - Plus.
00:40:41 - I don't know the guy,
00:40:43 but if he hurts her, I'll kill him.
00:40:46 - Should Tori's mother be worried
00:40:48 as Jack makes his decision
00:40:51 about a potential future with Tori?
00:40:55 (dramatic music)
00:40:57 Away from the experiment,
00:41:07 Lauren is still carrying the scars of the final dinner party
00:41:12 where it was revealed that husband Jonathan
00:41:15 had been texting former bride Ellie.
00:41:18 - So good to be permanently apart from Jono.
00:41:22 When someone that you've been close with
00:41:26 and you've been building something with
00:41:28 for nearly 12 weeks,
00:41:29 turns around and says, I don't even like you,
00:41:32 especially when they've been telling you
00:41:33 the whole time that they do,
00:41:34 is such a kick in the teeth.
00:41:38 I always ignore it.
00:41:41 Like if I see a red flag,
00:41:43 I literally come running on it.
00:41:44 I'm like, yeah, red flag, I'm the worst.
00:41:46 So like, I really did come into this experiment
00:41:51 to break that cycle, that red flag cycle.
00:41:56 Almost like a last ditch effort
00:41:58 to get a really nice guy to go.
00:42:01 And so when I met Jono,
00:42:03 I definitely thought that this person could balance me out.
00:42:07 This could be the person
00:42:08 that could be the calm to my storm.
00:42:12 I really thought that we had a good chance
00:42:14 and I was really excited.
00:42:16 I could really see myself getting along
00:42:19 and making something more long-term.
00:42:22 Throughout the experiment,
00:42:23 there was like a lot of opportunities for us
00:42:25 to be able to like progress into something more.
00:42:27 (group clapping)
00:42:29 - I am taller than you, thank you.
00:42:30 - Party!
00:42:31 - Thanks.
00:42:32 - Party!
00:42:33 (group laughing)
00:42:35 - It's gonna be fun.
00:42:36 - Yeah, it's gonna be fun.
00:42:37 (group cheering)
00:42:38 - For me, you know, when I did like him,
00:42:41 it was genuine, it was real
00:42:42 and I thought we had something good.
00:42:44 But since day one,
00:42:48 we were always lacking a bit of that fire and passion.
00:42:52 - You give me no passion, you give me nothing.
00:42:55 You just give me like autopilot.
00:42:58 - What is going on?
00:43:00 I feel like I'm with a robot.
00:43:02 (dramatic music)
00:43:05 - Being apart from Lauren the last few days
00:43:10 has been amazing.
00:43:11 The further I get away from Lauren, the better I feel.
00:43:15 Throughout the experiment,
00:43:18 Lauren has taken every opportunity
00:43:21 to make things I've done look worse than what they are.
00:43:31 - I've gone over the relationship in my mind
00:43:33 a million times and I realized that like a list of things
00:43:38 that like have kind of sparked my women's intuition
00:43:41 from day one.
00:43:42 Who do you think's hot though?
00:43:45 - Ellie's really lovely.
00:43:48 - And she's got massive titties.
00:43:49 I know you're a titty man.
00:43:51 (group laughing)
00:43:53 And then how hard Jono would go at Ben
00:43:56 in commitment ceremonies and at dinner parties.
00:43:58 - I'm at a stage where I'm ready to settle down
00:44:01 if kids are after that, yeah.
00:44:03 - That's not a yes or no answer.
00:44:05 - Well, it's not a yes or no question.
00:44:06 - It is, it is.
00:44:07 It is.
00:44:08 - I don't understand Ben.
00:44:12 Like he had this beautiful, lovely girl.
00:44:17 I kind of want to slap him.
00:44:19 Like stop ruining this amazing opportunity you've been given.
00:44:24 - And just little looks here and there.
00:44:27 Just a few small examples like that.
00:44:30 I just felt like I didn't trust him.
00:44:35 There was something I didn't trust.
00:44:37 And you know, I think my gut instincts
00:44:40 has turned out to be pretty spot on
00:44:42 because it turns out he was messaging Ellie the whole time.
00:44:46 The next thing he's gonna be asking her for feet pics
00:44:48 and a box shop.
00:44:49 - I hate that she chose to make me look bad.
00:44:57 With the messages with Ellie,
00:44:59 when she knew it was innocent,
00:45:01 she knew there was nothing there.
00:45:04 Ellie and I are barely even friends.
00:45:09 - I did feel like I was with someone
00:45:17 that was putting on a bit of a facade.
00:45:19 But now I'm realizing why he was doing the things
00:45:22 he was doing and saying and acting the way he was acting.
00:45:25 It's because he was like starting a relationship
00:45:28 with someone else.
00:45:29 That's when I start transitioning from being like,
00:45:32 she's her and like, oh, poor me.
00:45:33 It's like, now I'm pissed.
00:45:35 I didn't want to be involved
00:45:37 with this level of absolute (beep)
00:45:40 - Going all black today seemed to be the vibe,
00:45:47 a bit grim.
00:45:48 So yeah, kind of more funeral-esque than wedding,
00:45:53 but it seemed appropriate.
00:45:55 Final Vows is gonna be a horribly awkward experience
00:46:05 that I'm not looking forward to at all.
00:46:09 (dramatic music)
00:46:11 (birds chirping)
00:46:14 (dramatic music)
00:46:17 (dramatic music)
00:46:20 (dramatic music)
00:46:45 (dramatic music)
00:46:47 (clears throat)
00:47:04 (dramatic music)
00:47:07 (dramatic music)
00:47:10 - Hi.
00:47:23 (dramatic music)
00:47:26 - You ready for this?
00:47:34 - Hello would have been normal.
00:47:37 (dramatic music)
00:47:40 (dramatic music)
00:47:53 (birds chirping)
00:47:55 (dramatic music)
00:47:58 (clears throat)
00:48:09 (dramatic music)
00:48:11 - Hi.
00:48:22 (dramatic music)
00:48:25 You ready for this?
00:48:32 - Hello would have been normal.
00:48:34 (dramatic music)
00:48:37 Whatever.
00:48:39 - Okay.
00:48:41 Lauren,
00:48:43 the first day I met you
00:48:47 was one of the best days I've had in years.
00:48:50 I turned around to see a beautiful woman
00:48:52 with striking blue eyes.
00:48:53 You were cracking me up
00:48:56 before you even made it down the aisle.
00:48:58 And I did develop feelings for you instantly.
00:49:01 I came into this experiment
00:49:04 with the feeling that I was gonna be one of the lucky ones
00:49:07 who found a forever partner.
00:49:09 I couldn't believe it.
00:49:11 I kept saying to the experts,
00:49:13 they've actually done it.
00:49:14 They've found my match.
00:49:16 In the following weeks, we had some good days,
00:49:20 but mostly the days were not enjoyable for either of us.
00:49:24 And I felt like your walls were up
00:49:25 and you didn't wanna hear from me.
00:49:28 I feel like you viewed everything I did
00:49:30 through a negative lens.
00:49:32 You would say I wasn't assertive,
00:49:34 that I was boring and robotic.
00:49:36 You said in your vows that you'll support and respect me.
00:49:39 I don't really feel like you ever respected me.
00:49:43 However, I kept trying because I was hopeful.
00:49:49 (dramatic music)
00:49:51 When we went to Perth for homestays,
00:49:53 it was an incredible few days.
00:49:55 I felt closer to you than I had since our wedding day.
00:49:59 I thought from the affection you were showing me
00:50:01 that perhaps I was finally breaking down your walls
00:50:04 and maybe winning you over.
00:50:06 I saw hope and it made me happy.
00:50:08 (upbeat music)
00:50:12 At the next commitment ceremony,
00:50:15 it was mentioned that I'd been messaging Ellie.
00:50:18 I didn't think this was an issue.
00:50:23 You snatched my phone off me
00:50:25 and pretended like the messages with Ellie were flirty.
00:50:29 They were not.
00:50:29 Seeing you so willing to lie like that
00:50:33 to make me look bad astonished me.
00:50:36 And by lying to the whole group to make me look bad,
00:50:39 you showed you don't support me
00:50:42 and it makes me deeply upset.
00:50:44 This is when I knew you weren't the person for me.
00:50:46 (laughing)
00:50:49 - Sorry, that is just laughable.
00:50:51 (dramatic music)
00:50:54 Keep going.
00:50:54 - I do wish you all the best
00:50:58 in this crazy journey we call life.
00:51:00 (dramatic music)
00:51:04 - Great, thanks for sharing.
00:51:05 Jono.
00:51:11 (dramatic music)
00:51:15 I'm going to deviate from my expected acerbic tone
00:51:19 and adopt an approach a little more foreign to me.
00:51:23 I went all out for you today and managed to find my heart.
00:51:26 So in honor of this discovery,
00:51:30 I'm going to speak to you from it.
00:51:32 Our wedding day was magical.
00:51:37 Everything I expected and more.
00:51:40 The chemistry and immediate attraction was palpable.
00:51:43 And I felt like the experts had got it right.
00:51:47 When I saw you standing at the end of the aisle,
00:51:50 all my concerns, reservations,
00:51:52 and outside noise and cynicism melted away.
00:51:55 Although we had our ups and downs,
00:52:00 we were both willing to give it our absolute all.
00:52:02 At least that's what it seemed.
00:52:06 (dramatic music)
00:52:09 Our homestay visit to me
00:52:12 was absolute highlight of our relationship.
00:52:14 I felt like I could truly see some kind of future together
00:52:18 outside of this experiment.
00:52:20 And it was exciting.
00:52:21 And then of course it all came crashing down.
00:52:26 It was brought to my attention
00:52:29 that you had been continuing to build
00:52:31 some kind of relationship with another bride.
00:52:35 One that you hid from me,
00:52:36 then had the audacity to blame me for
00:52:39 when you were exposed.
00:52:42 My world felt like it had come crashing down around me.
00:52:44 Instead of taking accountability at the final dinner party,
00:52:49 you chose to try and flip the script on me.
00:52:52 Blame me for not caring, never liking you,
00:52:56 and not being here for the right reasons.
00:52:58 Although you completely wasted my time
00:53:02 in terms of finding a romantic partner,
00:53:05 you taught me that I should always trust my gut.
00:53:07 Jono, I don't see a future with you.
00:53:11 And no, it's not me, it's you.
00:53:15 (laughing)
00:53:17 That was amazing.
00:53:30 - What was amazing about it?
00:53:34 - I think it was just amazing to get out everything
00:53:36 that I've been thinking and feeling
00:53:38 and all these unresolved feelings of like,
00:53:41 is this my fault or is it his fault?
00:53:43 I realized that it wasn't me, it was all him.
00:53:46 And the part where he was like,
00:53:49 you lied, you lied, it was like,
00:53:51 well actually you lied when you carried on a relationship
00:53:54 with another bride, so don't try and turn it on me, mate.
00:53:57 - Thank God.
00:54:00 I did nothing wrong.
00:54:03 I've apologized, she hasn't accepted it.
00:54:07 I'm tired of apologizing for things I haven't even done.
00:54:11 I don't think Lauren wants to find
00:54:15 a forever partner at all, but I do.
00:54:19 So I'll take a bit of time and then when I'm ready,
00:54:23 I'll start looking again.
00:54:25 I wanna find that special someone.
00:54:27 I think I deserve those things and I'm gonna look for it
00:54:31 and I'm gonna find it.
00:54:33 - Oh, we're at last.
00:54:36 - Next.
00:54:41 Decision day has arrived for Tori and Jack.
00:54:46 - What a day.
00:54:48 - Tori is catching up with her mum, Mel.
00:55:02 - Hello, I'm a baby.
00:55:05 - Who she's not seen since her wedding day.
00:55:08 Where Jack left quite an impression
00:55:11 on the mother of the bride.
00:55:13 - Hello.
00:55:14 - You're brilliant, she's gonna love you.
00:55:18 - Are you mum? - Yes.
00:55:20 - Hello, Jack. - Oh, Giles.
00:55:21 - Jack, nice to meet you. - Welcome.
00:55:23 - Thank God, he's very handsome and very sweet.
00:55:26 I mean, he's charming.
00:55:28 - Wow.
00:55:29 - I do indeed have a crush on Jack.
00:55:31 Do you know what, even if it doesn't work,
00:55:32 you just come home with me.
00:55:34 (laughing)
00:55:36 - You can marry mum instead.
00:55:38 - It's nice to be home.
00:55:40 - That's glad, I'm glad you're home.
00:55:41 How are you?
00:55:43 - I feel good to be back.
00:55:45 - Do you miss him?
00:55:48 - Yeah, I do miss him and I wanted to feel this.
00:55:50 Like this is reassuring for me.
00:55:52 - Because had you have said, not really,
00:55:54 I would've went, well.
00:55:55 - Yeah, he's probably like my absolute equal in a person.
00:56:00 (dramatic music)
00:56:02 And we want the same things in life.
00:56:04 And we are, I would say like pretty closely,
00:56:09 pretty close to perfect match.
00:56:11 It's a really nice feeling.
00:56:13 It's a very secure, like I feel quite secure with him.
00:56:16 - Yeah.
00:56:17 - While Tori deliberates with her mum,
00:56:23 on the Gold Coast, Jack is meeting a client at the pub.
00:56:28 - Hey buddy. - Hey.
00:56:29 - How's it going?
00:56:30 - What's going on man?
00:56:31 - Oh man.
00:56:32 - How you been? - It's been ages.
00:56:32 - Yeah, yeah. - It's been so long.
00:56:34 - So how's it all been going?
00:56:36 - Mate, she definitely has serious feelings.
00:56:39 She's falling.
00:56:40 - Yep. - You know?
00:56:42 She's infatuated.
00:56:43 - Yep.
00:56:44 - And I can tell,
00:56:45 'cause we've been under the bus a fair bit
00:56:47 and she supported and she fought for me
00:56:49 and she fought for us the entire time.
00:56:52 She's never wavered.
00:56:53 - Yeah, wow.
00:56:54 Yeah, that's pretty, pretty strong value.
00:56:56 - Yeah, it's massive.
00:56:57 - I know that's a pretty big one for you.
00:56:58 - Yeah.
00:56:59 - Although we've had a really good three months,
00:57:03 Jack's been involved in some really like,
00:57:04 shitty things that he said and that he's done.
00:57:07 It was the article in week one.
00:57:09 - I've got a disgruntled ex, basically.
00:57:12 - The article said that Jack had a job in America
00:57:15 for three months and you had told her that.
00:57:17 - Which was a lie.
00:57:19 - The shitty comments in week two.
00:57:22 - I'm not talking to you Lauren,
00:57:23 shut your mouth.
00:57:24 Can you muzzle your woman?
00:57:26 - Muzzle your woman.
00:57:28 - Muzzle your woman?
00:57:30 - What are you talking about?
00:57:33 - Then it was the fallout of the shitty comments
00:57:34 in week three.
00:57:36 Why do you think it is that in that moment,
00:57:38 under that pressure,
00:57:38 you went straight to a comment that was degrading to women?
00:57:43 - I've never said muzzle before to a woman in my life.
00:57:46 My family would be appalled.
00:57:47 My sisters would be appalled.
00:57:49 - And then making shitty comments.
00:57:51 - When we were at the pool yesterday,
00:57:53 you had the (beep) audacity to walk in and go,
00:57:56 oh, what are the whales here today?
00:57:59 - Wow.
00:58:00 - The whale comment's kind of a body image attack.
00:58:02 That's just not right.
00:58:03 Like that's not on at all.
00:58:05 - It's been a tough ride.
00:58:09 - So let me ask you this.
00:58:20 So you've told me that at the dinner parties and stuff,
00:58:24 he's copped it.
00:58:24 Like Jack's copped it hard.
00:58:27 Yeah.
00:58:28 And the girls have been saying, you know,
00:58:31 Tori, is he genuine?
00:58:34 Is he this?
00:58:35 Is he that?
00:58:37 Do you think there's any weight in it?
00:58:39 - So when you're like, I guess,
00:58:42 told the same thing or asked the same thing
00:58:44 over and over again,
00:58:45 you do things to yourself like, shit,
00:58:47 like are they on to something?
00:58:49 And I would say I've had like moments of like,
00:58:56 are they on to something?
00:58:57 - Yeah.
00:58:58 - But I always revert back to people in the experiment
00:59:01 aren't really in a position to give me marriage advice.
00:59:04 So I respectfully don't care what they have to say.
00:59:09 I'm not gonna base my final decision off a group of people
00:59:15 that have made it very clear they don't want us,
00:59:19 they don't care for us.
00:59:20 And if we're happy or not.
00:59:26 - My main concern is that she only knows the Jack she knows
00:59:29 and the Jack she's seen for the last three months.
00:59:32 But is it the real Jack?
00:59:35 That's my concern.
00:59:39 - And then like that whole thing around me
00:59:44 actually moving to the Gold Coast.
00:59:47 - Do you know what?
00:59:48 I think about that Tor,
00:59:49 and I think about, you know,
00:59:50 if that's what you wanna do, go for it.
00:59:55 But you're giving up everything.
00:59:56 - Yeah.
00:59:57 - Jack's not giving up anything.
00:59:59 He's giving up half his bed.
01:00:01 That's my concern.
01:00:03 Would he be prepared to do the same as what you're gonna do?
01:00:06 - Yeah.
01:00:07 - Yeah.
01:00:08 That's my concern.
01:00:10 - Would you move down there?
01:00:11 - No, no.
01:00:13 I wouldn't wanna go to Melbourne.
01:00:14 - Yeah.
01:00:15 - You'd understand that.
01:00:16 I come from Victoria.
01:00:18 - Yeah, I know.
01:00:18 - Yeah, you moved away for a reason, yeah.
01:00:20 - If we do continue, we've got long distance ahead of us.
01:00:24 - Yeah.
01:00:25 - And straight away, like,
01:00:26 Tori said, "I'd wanna see you every weekend."
01:00:29 - Oh, wow.
01:00:29 - Do you think about how we'd navigate long distance?
01:00:34 In my mind, it would be like,
01:00:37 like a weekend thing for sure.
01:00:40 - Every weekend?
01:00:41 - I would say most weekends, yeah.
01:00:42 - It's like, that's not practical.
01:00:44 Catch a plane every Friday.
01:00:46 I think that's too much.
01:00:47 - You don't live in (beep) Spain.
01:00:48 - She was starting to get more insecure,
01:00:52 a little bit more needy.
01:00:53 - Okay, yeah.
01:00:55 - I mean, it's sweet, but she wasn't like this prior.
01:00:58 Tori said the other night, if it didn't work out,
01:01:03 she'd be closed off to love.
01:01:05 - Oh, wow.
01:01:06 - And holy shit, I was just like,
01:01:07 (beep)
01:01:08 Oof, you know, like pressure.
01:01:10 - Yeah, that's a lot of pressure.
01:01:11 - A lot of pressure.
01:01:13 - But.
01:01:14 - Ultimately, I've gotta look after myself,
01:01:15 and if it's not gonna be what I ultimately want,
01:01:18 I'm not gonna write, "Stay," you know?
01:01:20 It's gotta end.
01:01:22 (dramatic music)
01:01:25 - I don't know, chick, it's huge.
01:01:30 - Yeah.
01:01:30 - It's huge.
01:01:31 You're giving up everything.
01:01:32 I can't tell you what to do.
01:01:36 I can just support what you decide,
01:01:38 but there's a lot to consider, love.
01:01:41 - Yeah, there is.
01:01:42 - There's a lot.
01:01:43 My concern is that she gets to the Gold Coast,
01:01:46 and she uproots her life, and she gets there,
01:01:48 and, you know, he's not the guy that she thought he was.
01:01:53 And whilst I get along famously with him,
01:01:59 and I think he seems like a great person,
01:02:01 I don't know the guy.
01:02:04 But if he hurts her, I'll kill him.
01:02:11 That's all I've got to say about that.
01:02:13 (dramatic music)
01:02:16 (dramatic music)
01:02:21 - The final vows ceremony has arrived for Tori and Jack.
01:02:40 Today, they will reveal their true feelings for one another,
01:02:44 a decision that could change
01:02:45 the course of their lives forever.
01:02:48 - It's bittersweet to be at this part of the experiment.
01:02:54 I mean, it's a huge decision.
01:02:57 - There's no turning back.
01:03:00 If I commit to this relationship,
01:03:02 I've got to give it my all 100%.
01:03:04 I don't know.
01:03:10 - It's doing my head in a little bit, to be honest.
01:03:13 I'm definitely attracted to the submissive type.
01:03:16 Tori's definitely, you know, showing me her loyalty.
01:03:20 She's had my back.
01:03:22 - I think she can definitely see a future with me,
01:03:27 but I don't want to uproot someone's life
01:03:31 if it's not going to work out.
01:03:33 I don't want to stay and waste anyone's time
01:03:37 if it's not going to work out.
01:03:39 So if I really do not see that future
01:03:42 when I come to the final vows,
01:03:43 I'm not going to waste anyone's time.
01:03:47 It's going to take me down to basically that final minutes
01:03:54 before I do see Tori,
01:03:55 before I know what I want to do.
01:03:58 If I get there and I finally see, you know,
01:04:02 the light or how I really do feel,
01:04:05 I won't be afraid to turn around and change my mind.
01:04:08 (eerie music)
01:04:10 - Coming into the experiment,
01:04:16 I wanted to be matched with someone
01:04:18 who I could really just like sink into life with.
01:04:22 And now I'm in a little bit of disbelief
01:04:27 that like I have quite potentially found like my person.
01:04:32 And holy shit, it's dark.
01:04:38 (eerie music)
01:04:40 There's a lot to love about Jack.
01:04:42 I feel like almost like a giddiness when I'm around him.
01:04:47 I know Jack's not perfect.
01:04:52 You know, he's stubborn.
01:04:56 He's very set in his ways.
01:04:58 He's done some shitty things and said some shitty things.
01:05:01 But he's always looking out for me.
01:05:06 He's always there when I need him.
01:05:08 And that's all I need.
01:05:10 I'm willing and ready to uproot my life and move
01:05:16 because to put it simply,
01:05:19 I would say I'm falling in love with Jack.
01:05:21 (dramatic music)
01:05:25 And I will do whatever it takes for us.
01:05:35 I don't think Jack's going to reject me,
01:05:38 but on the off chance that he did,
01:05:41 I would be super blindsided.
01:05:44 And I think I would,
01:05:46 I don't know what I would do,
01:05:50 but it wouldn't be nice for Jack.
01:05:53 (dramatic music)
01:06:06 (dramatic music)
01:06:09 (dramatic music)
01:06:23 (dramatic music)
01:06:26 - Oh, hi.
01:06:45 - You look amazing.
01:06:46 You look so nice.
01:06:50 - Thank you, you look great.
01:06:52 (laughing)
01:06:55 - What a day.
01:07:00 I thought we were about to get married.
01:07:04 - We're married.
01:07:06 (laughing)
01:07:08 - Tomorrow night.
01:07:21 - I'm in love with Aiden.
01:07:22 - Can one of the experiment's most loved up couples.
01:07:25 - I feel a really strong bond with Jaden
01:07:27 and yeah, I adore him.
01:07:28 - Turn their fairy tale start into a happy ending.
01:07:33 - I now step out of this experiment knowing exactly
01:07:35 what it is that I want in a partner.
01:07:37 - It's okay.
01:07:39 - Tim.
01:07:40 - I know that I hurt Tim and I broke his trust.
01:07:46 - Against all the odds.
01:07:47 - What I'm feeling right now is like positive.
01:07:49 - The pair overcame Sarah's act of betrayal
01:07:52 when she caught up with her ex behind Tim's back.
01:07:55 - What we've been through to get to this place
01:07:57 hasn't been so positive.
01:07:59 - But can their incredible love story.
01:08:01 - He's broken the trust, she's disrespected me.
01:08:03 - Withstand the final test of commitment.
01:08:06 - I don't know, just I'm wigging out.
01:08:09 - I lost trust in you and this relationship.
01:08:11 - And.
01:08:15 - Tori, before I leave today,
01:08:16 I wanna thank you for carving out
01:08:18 this amazing journey with me.
01:08:19 - It's the dramatic conclusion
01:08:23 to Tori and Jack's final vows.
01:08:26 (dramatic music)
01:08:29 (dramatic music)
01:08:31 (dramatic music)
01:08:34 (upbeat music)
