00:00 and invested themselves into sweat.
00:02 Sorry to hear that, Sneha. I don't want to do this anymore.
00:10 Do you know we're copying the wedding dance?
00:13 Awesome. Just about to shoot myself then. Sounds great.
00:15 Hi. Hello.
00:22 Hi, I'm Tanya. Nice to meet you.
00:25 Oh my god.
00:29 I'm Dan. Nice to meet you, I'm Sandy.
00:31 I'm Lightning. Nice to meet you.
00:34 You're fantastic.
00:35 Do we hold? Yes, we do.
00:37 I literally took my breath away.
00:40 I'm Hugo. My goat is called Hugo.
00:44 How are you feeling? I'm good, I'm good.
00:49 You have great teeth.
00:52 Evelyn.
00:56 (Laughs)
00:57 My wife, my partner and my new best friend.
01:06 You're probably wondering what's at the get up, but please don't take this as a giant red flag.
01:11 I believe marriage is built on trust and nothing worth having comes easy.
01:16 Today I'm pulling all my walls down because I've learnt that a life lived in fear is a life half lived.
01:24 And I don't know what more I can do to make my life any easier with the love to find.
01:27 Big rewards require big risks. What better reward is there than love?
01:33 I want someone who hugs the tightest, who waves goodbye from the driveway and cheers the ladders from the sidelines.
01:39 We will find comfort in each other and I hope you fall in love too.
01:44 I would say that you have managed to look like a unicorn.
01:48 You may now kiss the bride.
01:51 (Cheering)
01:53 He was such a beautiful guy. I'd do that again and again and again.
02:10 (Cheering)
02:14 I should have brought lots of tissues.
02:19 (Applause)
02:20 Well, let's get our first couple up on the couch.
02:24 Tani and Oli.
02:27 (Applause)
02:29 Hello.
02:32 Hi you two.
02:33 Hello.
02:34 Aww.
02:35 Should we ask, are we curious, what's the status of this relationship?
02:37 The status? We are very happy. Yeah, incredibly happy.
02:42 How do you feel about Tani?
02:48 After that final hour, yeah, we did say that we love each other.
02:50 So, you're in love with Tani?
02:53 Yeah, yeah.
02:54 We're in love.
02:55 And Tani, how do you see the future?
03:01 Yeah, I'm excited for the future.
03:04 You know, after this we're going on a little holiday together.
03:07 I'm going to go to Perth for a couple of weeks.
03:09 We've kind of just been planning everything and letting things just flow nice and naturally.
03:12 Obviously the long distance thing can be a challenge.
03:15 Is there a move on the cards?
03:18 Yeah, there is.
03:19 I'm going to be moving to New South Wales.
03:21 I'm going to have Sydney.
03:22 Wow, there he is people.
03:23 Making the move.
03:25 I've got a couple of friends that are in the area.
03:26 Amazing.
03:28 Yeah, so it's daunting as hell, but there's a part of me definitely in Sydney now and that's Tani.
03:32 So, yeah, you want to pursue that.
03:34 We have so much confidence looking at you now and that your future is so incredibly bright.
03:40 That you both have this attitude that means when you do come up against challenges, you're going to be open to it.
03:45 You're going to tackle it together because you are this unbeatable team.
03:47 And please stay in touch because we want to hear about all the babies in the future.
03:51 Right.
03:53 Of course.
03:54 We love having you in this experiment.
03:55 Thank you so much.
03:56 Thank you.
03:57 Thank you.
03:58 Our next couple.
04:05 Sandy and Dan.
04:08 Sandy and Dan.
04:09 Hello.
04:16 Hi.
04:17 Hi.
04:18 How are you two?
04:19 Well, the three of us are incredibly disappointed, aren't we, about where this has landed for you guys.
04:23 Things got pretty heated between you two during this experiment.
04:26 In the beginning, there was potential.
04:30 And you know what?
04:32 When we matched you and we thought long and hard about the two of you, there were a lot that we liked about it.
04:35 We were excited.
04:36 Yeah.
04:37 Sandy, why do you think this relationship broke down?
04:39 Because it was so strong in the beginning.
04:41 Dan never came here with the right intentions.
04:46 I feel he never gave me...
04:47 Look, I never said you have to love me.
04:50 I didn't say that.
04:51 I didn't say, "I might not be his type, that's fine.
04:53 At least give me a chance."
04:54 No.
04:55 I disagree with that.
04:56 I did come into the experiment with the right reasons.
04:58 I categorically can say that hand on heart that I did.
05:00 I don't believe that because I never felt it.
05:04 Because if I thought you did, you would have actually given it a chance.
05:06 You would have spent time with me.
05:08 You would have done all those things a person would do to try and make a relationship work.
05:11 I felt quite isolated because to everyone else, Dan seemed amazing.
05:16 But I was getting someone else behind closed doors.
05:18 See, I disagree with that.
05:20 Sandy, we've got a lot of differences, okay?
05:22 And I think that's the ultimate reason why the wheels fell off.
05:25 Look, there is one pivotal moment in this experiment for the both of you that is important to examine right now.
05:32 And it involved a night out with the boys when there was an unintentional phone call made that Evelyn received.
05:40 And she was privy to certain information on that boys' night.
05:44 It implicated two grooms in the situation.
05:48 And it has carried on throughout the experiment.
05:51 Let's take a moment now to examine that in greater depth.
05:56 Oh, damn it.
05:59 Yes.
06:00 Last night, the boys went out and I got a butt dial from Rupert.
06:09 I did listen in and I unfortunately heard what two of the husbands were saying about their wives.
06:17 Who?
06:19 Hugo.
06:20 Yeah.
06:21 And Dan.
06:22 Specifically Dan.
06:23 I heard it so clear.
06:24 [Music]
06:29 I know you haven't been saying some very nice things about your wife.
06:32 I want you now to own up to it before I have to take it further.
06:36 Um, I've got no problems with being honest.
06:40 Did I see Dan showing me pictures of his ex?
06:43 I did.
06:44 Dan, did you hold up your phone and show your ex-girlfriends?
06:49 No, no, no, don't say shit like that to me.
06:51 Don't swear, no one's swearing here.
06:52 There was nothing at all that was said with any kind of ill intent, right?
06:55 Or any kind of, um, anything that was like malicious or anything like that.
06:57 I heard the entire conversation.
06:59 No, no, no, we were talking about Korea and lifestyle.
07:01 That's all you spoke about, Korea and lifestyle?
07:03 Absolutely.
07:04 Okay, you're lying.
07:05 The fact that you even showed photos of your ex-girlfriends, that's pretty disrespectful to me.
07:08 Why would you do that?
07:09 Why? Why? Why?
07:10 What did you say? You haven't said it.
07:11 This whole thing is s***.
07:17 I don't, I don't want to throw any of the boys under the bus.
07:22 You had, you know, like, Dan being like, I can't stand her, but we just say yes to, you know, try and make it to the end.
07:28 You know, like, she is the last person that I'd be attracted to.
07:35 Like, she's 100% not my type.
07:39 Like, dude, all that kind of stuff.
07:41 F*** me.
07:48 Oh my god.
07:49 Oh my god.
07:50 Holy s***.
08:13 You had, you know, like, Dan being like, I can't stand her, but we just say yes to, you know, try and make it to the end.
08:19 You know, like, she is the last person that I'd be attracted to.
08:24 Like, she's 100% not my type.
08:26 Like, dude, all that kind of stuff.
08:28 Oh my god.
08:37 Holy s***.
08:38 Holy s***.
08:39 Stop looking at Hugo. I know what you're doing.
08:48 Stop intimidating him.
08:50 No, I'm not. I'm just, no, no.
08:51 I see it in your eyes, Dan. I've dealt with you for two months full time. I know exactly what you do.
08:55 You're doing it to me right now. You're giving me those eyes.
08:58 Stop trying to intimidate me and stop me from speaking as well.
09:00 Nothing he does surprises me anymore. I've spent enough time with him.
09:02 That honestly didn't surprise me. To be honest, there's probably much worse things that have happened during the experiment that I don't know about.
09:08 Hugo.
09:09 Yeah.
09:11 When did Dan say these things to you?
09:13 Look, this was, we were down at an opera bar and, to be honest, I kind of led the charge with having my big rant and my big vent.
09:25 And, you know, the guys kind of, you know, supported me.
09:29 And, Dan, you mentioned that it's friends at first sight, you know, stuff like that.
09:36 And you might have felt a bit done by.
09:38 Did you say the things at the boys' night that Hugo is suggesting he heard from you?
09:50 I don't recall saying them.
09:53 So I don't remember.
09:57 Dan, when you say, when you say you don't recall.
10:00 Word for word.
10:01 That suggests that it absolutely could have happened.
10:05 [Music]
10:11 Yep.
10:13 What upsets me is, like I said, the manipulation, like to my face.
10:19 Everything's fine. I'm all in. This is amazing. But then behind my back he's doing something else. That's the issue.
10:24 Even the sleeping with me, I still don't understand that because you said you weren't sexually attracted to me.
10:29 So when I pulled away, you ruled me back in.
10:31 No, we both agreed that we both felt connected.
10:34 You know, and we were two consenting adults at hand.
10:36 You know exactly what that meant for me in that moment.
10:38 I thought that you could see a future there.
10:40 And then you completely pulled away after that.
10:42 You made me feel like shit.
10:43 The night before, before we went to bed, he was saying things like, I don't understand why you only want to get intimate in the dark.
10:48 I'm vibing with you, Sandy.
10:50 I date girls who walk around in skimpy clothes.
10:52 Saying those sorts of things to me is not going to make me feel comfortable in your presence.
10:55 Absolutely not. I absolutely.
10:56 You said all those things.
10:57 No way I did not say anything.
10:58 No, I did not.
10:59 Claire, say sorry. Take some accountability.
11:01 You're a grown ass 48 year old man. Act like it.
11:03 Claire, this is our time on the couch, please.
11:05 She is entitled to speak.
11:07 Sandy, I absolutely was attracted to you at the beginning, okay?
11:13 And as we continued to get to know each other, that attraction plateaued and the wheels fell off and it sort of ended pretty quickly and brutally.
11:20 I still don't understand why did you continue the relationship?
11:25 Why did you sleep with me?
11:26 Why did you stay every week?
11:27 I just... Just to lead me on because you just wanted to stay.
11:29 No. No.
11:30 And then...
11:31 I disagree with that.
11:32 No.
11:34 Dan, I've sat here tonight and been counting the amount of times no comes out of your mouth.
11:44 And it is a lot.
11:50 It means as a result of anything she says, the first reaction from you is no.
11:57 It dismisses her, it invalidates her opinion, her feelings and it makes her feel small and insignificant.
12:07 I thought I better tell you that because I don't know whether you know that.
12:11 It's got to stop.
12:13 I didn't realise.
12:15 This is a pretty hard watch tonight, Dan.
12:19 Mm.
12:20 I want it to be a wake up call for you.
12:24 It's much better off taking a different approach.
12:27 Rather than trying to protect yourself, lower the walls and be more vulnerable.
12:31 Sandy, you came into this experiment without the blessing of your parents.
12:43 Any regrets in joining us?
12:47 No. I mean, I wish things went differently, obviously.
12:50 Again, if you learn something from an experience, I think that's important.
12:54 And I certainly did.
12:55 I think one of the biggest takeaways, as much as my parents don't always support my decisions because they don't understand,
13:01 and it comes from a place of love,
13:03 but going back to them and seeing the love that they poured back into me to help me build myself back up,
13:09 just reminded me how important it is to have your family in their support.
13:12 And how truly blessed I am that I have that.
13:14 Yeah, well...
13:15 Sandy, this experiment is absolutely for someone like you.
13:21 It literally says, "I don't care how many people I might disappoint or the risks I take to come onto it.
13:28 I'm going to do it anyway because I want to find love."
13:30 And you had zero relationship experience.
13:33 But you took the risk.
13:36 And we absolutely love that about you.
13:39 Thank you.
13:43 Alright, well, the two of you, we do wish you both all the best in your future relationships.
13:47 And thank you so much both for being here.
13:49 Thank you guys.
13:51 Coming up...
14:02 I didn't mean to say that.
14:03 A slip of the tongue puts Taylor and Cam under the spotlight.
14:08 And now...
14:09 Our next couple up...
14:17 Melinda and Lita.
14:20 How are you?
14:25 Well, if it's not the power couple...
14:26 I was about to ask how things are going, but it kind of looks self-explanatory.
14:31 Really good.
14:33 Things are really good.
14:34 So Mel, you went from not really liking him, maybe judging him a little bit, to liking him, to like liking him, to loving him.
14:43 Yeah.
14:44 Before I did come in here, my guy didn't really exist.
14:48 That's why my expectations were so high.
14:50 And even though I came in for that spark, I kind of thought, well, it's not going to be there.
14:54 Because my guy doesn't exist.
14:56 But he does.
14:58 He does.
14:59 He does.
15:00 Well said.
15:02 Why don't we take a look at their very journey?
15:04 Jesus Christ.
15:05 You can do it.
15:08 They say that when you find your soulmate, you just know.
15:13 So I feel like I'm just going to know instantly.
15:15 He better be damn good.
15:18 I'm just coming in for one more kiss there.
15:21 Kiss on the lips there.
15:22 He was trying to like stick some tongue in there.
15:25 Lita, I can't do that!
15:29 I can't, I'm so uncomfortable.
15:31 I'm so uncomfortable.
15:32 I was like, not there yet.
15:33 Feel a little flex.
15:34 So late night, I actually like bonding.
15:37 This is called relationship struggles.
15:40 The problem for me is that I'm an analytical thinker, an illogical thinker, and Mel's quite emotional.
15:45 There's going to be situations that will come up where I really will disagree with something that Mel might say.
15:48 Leighton, Leighton, you're taking me back to the boardroom.
15:50 You're getting into a lot of analysis here.
15:52 You've got to go to a vulnerable place.
15:54 I don't feel comfortable moving into a different apartment with someone else's wife.
15:59 And you're sitting here with Harrison, the person you said is your most hated person, and you're not supporting me and your partner.
16:03 I don't feel comfortable guys.
16:05 I don't feel comfortable doing that.
16:07 Now I feel like I'm being put on the spot.
16:08 I feel like I'm being challenged on it.
16:09 You're impossible.
16:11 You're actually acting like a Harrison right now.
16:12 Mel, there were moments when you needed me and I wasn't there to support you.
16:22 And so I'm sorry for all those times.
16:24 Our relationship is hard and us being together is a risk.
16:29 So I'm ready to take that risk with you today.
16:31 I am falling in love with you Mel.
16:33 I need you.
16:45 Ah, Lara.
16:53 How did it feel watching that?
16:54 It's a lot.
16:56 It's a lot.
16:57 It's a lot to watch.
16:58 It's not a linear journey for you guys, is it?
17:00 It's been tough.
17:01 Could you have ever imagined that this was the journey that you were about to embark on?
17:06 Absolutely not.
17:08 What did you expect?
17:09 I was looking for a soulmate.
17:11 And I thought from everything I'd learned growing up that a soulmate is like instant.
17:15 I just thought I was going to walk down and be like, that's my man.
17:18 This is the guy I've been waiting for.
17:19 And when I didn't feel that initial spark, I was really kind of let down.
17:22 Like I felt like this isn't going to be my person.
17:25 And I was like hoping it was.
17:27 You know, we talk a lot in this experiment about the slow burn.
17:30 And we meet so many people like you who come into the experiment expecting that initial spark.
17:34 And you know, that Hollywood moment.
17:36 But I think the two of you are such a great example that although that initial, bam, moment might not be there.
17:44 If you persevere and do the work, and you guys really have done the work, then you can actually get that happy ending.
17:53 What have you learned from being in this experiment?
17:55 I think I'm very logical in terms of what I think.
17:59 John, you've pointed that out many a time.
18:01 Yeah, I mean, I went hard at you several times.
18:03 You bounce back, you pick yourself up and you went for it.
18:05 You changed.
18:06 And that was really impressive.
18:07 I've got to ask, what happened with that gridlock being two CEOs stuck in a boardroom together?
18:12 What did you do with that?
18:13 It's still somewhat there, but we're sort of getting better at navigating it.
18:17 Through agendas, which we set.
18:18 We sat down at the table and took some meeting minutes afterwards.
18:20 I love that.
18:23 It's just so amazing to see you two together.
18:25 And the fact that you were able to fight through your communication style that frankly was so rigid for so long.
18:32 It's just inspiring.
18:33 It's nice. Thanks, John.
18:35 Certainly pushes.
18:36 Johnny particular.
18:39 Mel, in your mind, what does the future look like for you and Leighton?
18:43 Whatever happens, I just want Leighton there.
18:48 So, I mean, hopefully children, hopefully marriage, hopefully all of that.
18:51 Five children.
18:52 I just see him always with me, wherever we go.
18:55 You guys, I have to say, we are collectively so thrilled.
19:02 We wish you the very best, all the love, all the sparkles and magic and everything.
19:07 Thank you.
19:08 And lots of happiness and just lots of love that you came here searching for.
19:12 So we're happy for you.
19:13 Congratulations.
19:14 Thank you very much.
19:15 Thank you.
19:16 Thank you.
19:17 All right, let's get our next couple up.
19:31 Lyndal and Cam.
19:35 All right.
19:36 Here we go.
19:42 Well, guys, I've got to say, we had such high hopes.
19:46 There was so much riding on this.
19:49 We didn't expect the way it turned out.
19:53 And we saw last night, particularly for the both of you, there's some open wounds.
19:58 There's a lot of pain still there.
20:00 Lyndal, how do you feel sitting here next to Cam right now?
20:04 It's pretty hard.
20:08 Yeah.
20:11 I think so much has happened and, you know, I've been home and I've felt so grounded and happy and big and like...
20:19 My life is so good.
20:22 And so it's just really weird being back in this place where, like, all this stuff is coming back up and reminding me of how not good things feel.
20:30 I don't know. It's painful. Yeah.
20:33 What about for you, Cam, sitting right next to Lyndal now?
20:37 How do I feel?
20:39 We're doing this again, are we?
20:40 It never stops, can it?
20:42 Yeah, no.
20:43 No surprises here, mate.
20:44 How does it feel?
20:45 Being out of the experiment, I felt good.
20:48 I loved being back home. I loved having... getting back into the routine.
20:51 But being here now, yeah, obviously things left on really bad, bad terms.
20:56 It wasn't a... wasn't really a good feeling.
20:58 But it didn't start off this way.
21:00 You guys were one of our strongest couples to begin with.
21:05 I think now's a great time to take a look back on how your relationship began.
21:09 Oh my God.
21:10 F***.
21:12 Hi.
21:24 Cam.
21:25 Lyndal.
21:26 Nice to meet you.
21:27 Gorgeous. Very gorgeous.
21:28 Let's do this, hey?
21:29 Let's do it.
21:30 Yeah, I can't look. It's all off my face. This is ridiculous.
21:33 I have a chronic illness called cystic fibrosis.
21:35 I know about it.
21:37 You know about it?
21:38 Yeah. I've got you.
21:39 Oh my God, I got you.
21:42 Every day we're getting closer, for sure.
21:49 That was such a good kiss.
21:54 That was a good kiss.
21:55 Wedding, amazing. Honeymoon, amazing.
21:59 So Cameron, this is your first time on the show.
22:01 So Cameron, this is your first relationship.
22:03 How serious is this getting?
22:04 It's getting very serious, like how we're going at the moment.
22:06 I feel very comfortable in this relationship.
22:08 Yeah.
22:11 Are you a country man?
22:12 I'm interested now.
22:13 What's your staff like?
22:16 They're great.
22:17 Taylor, she's very lovely.
22:19 What type of music do you listen to?
22:21 Yeah, Chennai Twain. Love Chennai Twain.
22:23 What's going on?
22:29 So my mum, I think she just said, "Oh, come on, Cameron, give her a hug."
22:33 Cameron was like, "No, I feel uncomfortable," and kind of got up and left.
22:36 I felt uncomfortable. I felt awkward.
22:40 It was really weird. I found that weird.
22:42 It wasn't natural.
22:43 Honeymoon shouldn't feel unnatural. Not a month in here.
22:45 Not a month into this.
22:46 So, I'm dead safe.
22:49 The affection and wanting the cuddles could be insecurity.
22:53 For me,
22:56 for me,
22:58 Yeah.
22:59 I'm not asking for a hundred. I'm asking for like one.
23:03 It's not that much.
23:04 I ask for pretty much less than their minimum.
23:09 And I'm sitting here having to justify that I'm not insecure.
23:12 Like I did not wait my whole life
23:17 to be begging someone for hugs and kisses.
23:24 You want me to be this all affectionate?
23:26 I honestly don't think that I'm the right person for you.
23:29 And that's where I'm at.
23:30 I just feel like I've been done for the third f***ing time in a week.
23:33 I've been thinking about when I first met you.
23:38 On our wedding day, you were warm, welcoming, funny and sweet.
23:41 Unfortunately, at one point or another, the man I met at our wedding started fading away.
23:46 Over the last few weeks, I've realised that there was never anything I could do to be the partner you wanted
23:50 because you simply don't want one.
23:52 This entire relationship has been on your terms and yours alone.
23:55 I want to build a life I'm proud of and that life does not include you.
23:59 - Well said. - Thank you.
24:03 - Before you start. - Yeah?
24:05 Just on that.
24:06 I just feel like no matter what you say today,
24:09 it's only going to disappoint me again.
24:12 I think I'm just done.
24:15 - So, I'm leaving. - You can have them then.
24:18 - Okay. - Okay.
24:19 - Okay. - Okay.
24:20 Oh, Jesus Christ.
24:32 How was that for you, Lyndall? Reliving your relationship?
24:38 I mean, the worst part was, like, watching the start.
24:41 All the affection stuff.
24:44 Like, it was there.
24:47 And then when it wasn't, it felt really obvious.
24:49 And when I asked for it, it was like, no, it was never there, never going to be there.
24:54 I had a lot of hope for us. I had a lot of, um...
24:59 I don't know, it was like we met and I was just like, yeah, I get it.
25:02 I get why we're put together. Yeah. So...
25:04 Was that how it was for you, Cam?
25:10 I felt like the pressure of the experiment was...
25:12 I don't know, maybe I was being someone that I wasn't.
25:16 I felt pressured to be this affectionate person, all this and that.
25:19 Which I think we all know by now, which I'm not really that affectionate person.
25:22 I think affection and intimacy, especially affection, it all flows naturally when you're going down the path of falling in love with someone.
25:27 And I'm sorry to say it, but... I wasn't.
25:33 If you felt pressured, you should have told me.
25:38 Yeah, I should have.
25:40 Because all that stuff at the honeymoon did not feel pressured at all to me.
25:43 I thought we had the best time and it's actually incredibly hurtful to hear that a lot of that affection was because you felt pressured.
25:48 It had nothing to do with wanting to be close to me or wanting to be with me.
25:51 And there is a part of me that really doesn't believe that.
25:55 Because that is not how my experience went.
25:57 It's incredibly hard to hear.
26:02 Guys, we were watching you last night, of course, at the dinner party and there was something that came up...
26:11 that we'd like a little bit of clarification on. Particularly from you, Cam.
26:14 I got my dick out at a nightclub.
26:17 Oh, wow. That is disgusting.
26:21 Yes, so we understand. That wasn't my question. But thanks for sharing.
26:27 What I'm actually interested in...
26:32 is the nature of your relationship with Taylor.
26:38 Yeah, there's nothing going on there. It was a piss-take after the final vows.
26:41 I got naked in a nightclub whilst my phone was on FaceTime to Taylor and one of the boys was holding it.
26:47 So, just so we can understand the context, why were you on FaceTime to Taylor?
26:52 Because I'm mates with Taylor.
26:55 I think he's just trying to dig up. There's nothing. Nothing there.
27:00 Taylor, how would you describe your relationship with Cam?
27:08 I really like Cam as a friend. We get along really, really well.
27:13 There's not much to it. He's up in Darwin, I'm down in Tassie.
27:18 It hasn't been explored yet. Not that it is going to be explored.
27:24 Oh, no.
27:33 Taylor, how would you describe your relationship with Cam?
27:36 I really like Cam as a friend. We get along really, really well.
27:42 There's not much to it. He's up in Darwin, I'm down in Tassie.
27:47 It hasn't been explored yet. Not that it is going to be explored.
27:52 I think it's a good thing that we're friends.
27:58 It hasn't been explored yet. Not that it is going to be explored.
28:02 F***.
28:06 Oh, no.
28:10 I didn't mean to say that. I, um...
28:14 I thought you did.
28:16 Shut up, Rupert.
28:17 I said that if Cam was in Tassie, then perhaps.
28:27 But he's not.
28:28 He's on the other side of Australia, which makes it really hard, so...
28:33 F***.
28:39 I think that's where it ends, eh? Now in the coffin.
28:44 Listening to you last night, Lyndall, it seemed you were under the impression
28:49 that perhaps something had happened between Cam and Taylor.
28:52 It just... It was something, like it was this little missing piece.
28:56 That just made the whole thing make sense to me.
28:59 A lot of what I experienced, a lot of what I witnessed from both of them
29:02 throughout the experiment, lots of little moments that never really made sense before
29:05 started to make sense. Yeah.
29:07 I just... It was something that...
29:10 When I heard it was like, yeah, look, my gut's telling me there's something in that.
29:13 For sure.
29:14 Yeah, I just obviously wasn't ready to be in a relationship.
29:18 That's the core of the issue right there.
29:23 I so wish we'd all known that...
29:25 before going down this road, for Lyndall.
29:28 So why did you stay as long as you did?
29:32 See, there were times where I did want to go home and I wanted to stay.
29:38 The part where the final vows, where I didn't get my say, is really said a lot.
29:43 Cam, that's at the end.
29:45 That's what, sorry? That was at the end.
29:46 We're talking about why did you stay as long as you did.
29:48 If you had left earlier because you weren't falling for me,
29:50 we wouldn't have had to go through the entire final vows.
29:52 There was parts of it that I wanted to stay and parts where I didn't.
29:54 And when I got to the final vows, I just knew I should have left when I did.
29:57 Mate.
29:58 None of this makes any sense to me.
30:01 It's incredibly hurtful.
30:04 And I went through so much crap thinking that you were in this
30:08 or that eventually you would be in this.
30:10 I think not falling in love with someone is perfectly fine.
30:13 It is perfectly fine, but your behaviour wasn't fine.
30:18 Sitting here watching the two of you tonight and listening to
30:21 the depth of experience that you've described, Lindor,
30:24 and watching your response here, Cam,
30:26 I can't help but feel you have a very casual reaction
30:30 to something that is quite deep and meaningful here for Lindor.
30:34 And it just, it feels a little bit decisive.
30:37 What, how I'm sitting?
30:39 No, not the way you're sitting, mate.
30:42 You're saying things like, "Could have done better.
30:45 Maybe I wasn't ready. Felt a bit of pressure."
30:48 Pretty low-key, casual reactions to something that Lindor has described
30:52 as really quite significant in her life.
30:55 There's a lot of pain here.
30:57 Well, I'm sorry for the way that I acted, but I...
31:00 Yeah, it's just... Are you?
31:02 Well, I can sit here and say sorry.
31:04 You can say whatever you want.
31:06 You have never once acted like you have much care at all
31:08 for how much you hurt me.
31:09 So where does that leave me? What do I say?
31:12 I can sit here and apologise, but it's not...
31:13 I'm not saying say anything, Cam. I'm telling you, do better.
31:16 And you should have done that the whole experiment.
31:19 Be better.
31:22 Have some integrity.
31:24 Righto. Gotcha.
31:26 Cam, Lindor's just giving you a gift.
31:31 You know, it's not often that we see a couple that have broken up
31:34 sit on this couch and have one partner give the other
31:37 some real advice for their next relationship.
31:39 So I'd really heed that.
31:41 It's good advice.
31:43 If you can take that advice on board,
31:46 you'll be in a much better place next time round.
31:48 What I want to say to you, Lindor, is you are at a significant turning point
31:54 in your life.
31:55 You know, you've been given this incredible new lease on life.
31:58 You've had this experience with Cam.
32:00 But you've got this amazing future now laid out in front of you.
32:04 And I think you're a person who's going to make an incredible difference
32:06 in this world.
32:07 And I cannot wait to observe that.
32:10 Thank you.
32:11 Thank you both.
32:12 We've really enjoyed having you here and wish you both all the best.
32:15 Cheers guys.
32:16 Thank you.
32:17 Appreciate it.
32:18 Alright, let's get our next couple up.
32:28 Alyssa and Duncan.
32:31 Hi.
32:37 Hi.
32:39 Hi.
32:40 Well, last night was a huge night for you both, wasn't it?
32:42 Yeah.
32:45 A lot of emotion in the air.
32:46 You were very angry last night.
32:49 I was very angry.
32:50 And had a lot of hurtful things to say about Duncan.
32:53 Have you had a chance to reflect on what happened last night
32:57 and process all of that emotion?
33:00 Um...
33:01 Well, last night was a huge night for you both, wasn't it?
33:12 Yeah.
33:14 A lot of emotion in the air.
33:15 Alyssa, you seemed to have a lot to get off your chest last night.
33:17 Um...
33:19 Yeah, I definitely did.
33:20 I'm clearly shocked of our ending and, you know, really heartbroken.
33:25 You were very angry last night.
33:26 I was very angry.
33:28 Yeah.
33:29 Duncan, last night, was that confronting for you?
33:32 I don't hold anything against Alyssa for wanting to vent or to explain,
33:38 I guess, how she felt about the end of the experiment.
33:41 I still think there was some things said last night that was around, like, my character
33:46 and not around the relationship, which I don't think is fair.
33:49 What kind of things specifically?
33:51 Alyssa said, "Take your mask off."
33:55 Take your mask off?
33:56 Why did you say that, Alyssa?
34:04 I feel like Duncan led me through this experiment saying,
34:08 "I want to work through this together with you."
34:10 And then at the end for him to say, "No, it's not for me."
34:13 I just didn't expect it.
34:16 So I feel like...
34:17 Yeah, I feel like I didn't know who he was.
34:23 I don't think that that's right.
34:25 That is not fair.
34:28 Relationships are not black and white.
34:32 Like, my heart was in it.
34:35 I wanted it to work.
34:36 I didn't come here to go to the end and then not be in love.
34:39 And it sucks, right, that it didn't work out.
34:43 Well, there's no question that the two of you started off very strong
34:48 and for the most part, really remained stable.
34:52 But then in the experiment later on, there was a real shift.
34:55 So let's take a look at your relationship throughout this experiment.
35:01 Hi!
35:06 Alyssa.
35:07 Duncan.
35:08 Okay, let's get married.
35:09 I think it's pretty clear that I'm falling for Duncan.
35:15 How's your wedding in New York City?
35:17 One week.
35:18 I made it.
35:20 So how are things going with you guys?
35:22 Why would somebody like Duncan want to date a single mom?
35:26 Like when there's other women that don't have kids.
35:28 I just have a lot of baggage of like...
35:30 I guess it's like a bit of self-sabotage.
35:32 I just have a really hard time of like feeling deserving of it.
35:35 What? No, let's talk about it.
35:38 Give me attention. I need attention.
35:40 Because I haven't had any.
35:41 Can I hug you?
35:44 No.
35:45 I need a lot from Duncan.
35:47 I need to be checked in all the time.
35:49 Hey, I need attention.
35:50 I do feel like I'm banging my head against the wall.
35:52 It feels like a bit of self-sabotage.
35:55 Because I have a child.
35:57 I'm available every other weekend and on every Wednesday.
35:59 Yeah.
36:01 I guess the reality of it all will really come when we're spending time with each other outside of the...
36:04 So you're not... you can say that you're okay with it, but then like you really don't know.
36:06 Yeah.
36:08 I think it's a deeper-seated issue that sort of manifests itself into picking apart my behaviour, which is not fair.
36:15 So what do you think about that, Alyssa?
36:18 I have a child.
36:19 Oh, babe.
36:22 I see you in it.
36:24 I want to be there for you.
36:25 I really want to go. I really want to go. I'm so excited.
36:28 Do you not want me to come?
36:31 Come on.
36:32 I feel more rejected in this relationship than in a relationship I've had.
36:41 I'm literally f***ing crying.
36:44 I'm literally f***ing crying.
36:45 I realise that relationships aren't always easy.
36:52 But I'm just not used to this much conflict in a relationship.
36:55 I don't want to hurt you, and I don't want to continue getting hurt.
36:59 So I have to say goodbye.
37:11 It's okay. It's okay.
37:13 I should have known. I should have f***ing known.
37:16 That was a lot.
37:22 Alyssa, when you watch that back, what goes through your mind?
37:31 It's hard, right?
37:33 Not every day you can watch a whole relationship kind of crumble in front of your face.
37:38 In the beginning, we just had such a connection.
37:44 I was so ready to share everything with him.
37:48 But watching it back, I should have seen it coming.
37:52 I absolutely should have seen it coming.
37:54 There were a lot of times where I probably shouldn't have just walked away.
37:59 And I shouldn't have been emotionally charged and been able to sit in a conversation
38:03 and really hash things out with Duncan and give him what he needed.
38:06 And I think I am very emotional.
38:08 I do regret a lot of things through this experiment,
38:14 and I never wanted to hurt Duncan, and so I really am sorry.
38:17 I'm sorry.
38:19 Duncan, any final words for Alyssa?
38:23 I'm sorry that it didn't work out.
38:29 I truly am.
38:31 You know, I'm sorry.
38:34 You know, we're broken up, but I still want to say, like, I think that you're an amazing woman,
38:38 and I think that you should, like, hold yourself with the confidence that you should have about yourself.
38:43 What would you like to say to Duncan now, in part?
38:54 Um...
38:56 I hope you do, you know, find that person.
39:03 And, um...
39:04 Yeah, I'm sorry.
39:06 Alright, guys, well, this has been an incredibly difficult time for you.
39:10 It wasn't the outcome that either of you wanted when you first started.
39:13 Try to take some learnings away from it.
39:16 In a strange way, sitting on a couch, discussing and unpacking a breakup with us,
39:22 while it is hard, you can get a lot out of it.
39:25 And I'm hoping tonight it's going to send you on your way, much better equipped,
39:29 to cope with your next relationship.
39:32 Alright, guys, we wish you all the best.
39:33 Thank you.
39:34 Thank you.
39:35 Good luck, guys.
39:36 Thanks.
39:37 Well, let's get our last couple up on the couch.
39:48 Jessie and Cliff.
39:50 Hello, you two.
39:57 Hi.
39:58 I'm so nervous.
39:59 Alright.
40:01 Let's do this.
40:02 I have to say that for a couple of the part of ways in this experiment,
40:10 it's so refreshing and so lovely
40:12 to feel and see the energy and the respect.
40:16 I don't want to say love because it's not like being in love, but love.
40:19 Yeah, it's big love.
40:21 Absolutely.
40:22 Tell us how you've come to this place in your relationship.
40:26 You've gone through so much.
40:27 Help us understand how you got here.
40:30 I have to credit Jessie.
40:31 I think he said forgiveness is a choice.
40:34 And even though I disrespected Jessie in the betrayal,
40:38 I think it was clear that he respected me enough back to try and rebuild and move forward.
40:46 And I guess I'm so grateful that I was matched with someone like Jessie.
40:51 Yeah.
40:58 Jessie, you seem to be a different guy sitting on the couch here tonight
41:02 than what you were like in the beginning.
41:04 Sometimes words landed quite hard on Claire.
41:07 How do you think you've changed now in terms of moving forward into a next relationship?
41:11 I think I put it short a bit more before speaking.
41:15 I'm not perfect either.
41:20 I know I upset Claire a couple of times on the honeymoon.
41:22 I had this silly mindset coming in.
41:24 When I look back in hindsight, we always...
41:26 We had these freaking standards, you know?
41:28 How's anyone supposed to get through that?
41:32 It's really cool that you picked up on that and brought it to yourself.
41:36 It's definitely been a rollercoaster ride, your relationship.
41:40 I think we should take a look.
41:41 Let's do this.
41:43 I'm sorry, Donna.
41:46 Oh my god!
41:52 She's ungodly hot.
41:55 [laughter]
41:56 Oh my god, we are so weird.
41:59 That is great.
42:00 We are so cute.
42:01 I don't know where love has been hiding all these years.
42:04 I swear I'm shining so brightly.
42:06 F*** you are.
42:07 Oh my god, look at the water.
42:11 Oh my god, amazing.
42:12 Yeah, no, you're not my person.
42:13 I'm f***ing done here.
42:15 A bunch of us decided to go out to a pub.
42:20 Santa's here!
42:22 Throughout the night I'm noticing the leaning in from Claire to Adam and the touching of his arms.
42:27 The point where it became home for me was when the two of them left the table to be alone.
42:33 Claire goes missing.
42:35 I'm thinking, this f***ing Adam dog.
42:37 What do you want from me?
42:39 To stroke your ego and tell you, "Oh, you have nothing to worry about, Jessie."
42:42 "Oh, I wasn't on the phone to anybody."
42:43 What do you want from me?
42:44 I got an order from him coming here trying to see my phone.
42:46 Do you think that's normal behaviour?
42:48 We're out of line.
42:49 You're paranoid, mate.
42:51 You come through my door and you said, "Show me your phone."
42:53 Because of your own insecurity.
42:54 Like, what you did on Saturday night was not on.
42:57 Would Jessie have any reason to think that you might go home with him?
43:00 No, absolutely not.
43:01 What I did was wrong.
43:03 I need to bring back the trust.
43:06 I like this one.
43:07 I feel so guilty.
43:08 Yeah, it's true.
43:09 How hot you look.
43:10 He doesn't know the truth.
43:11 Alright, stay.
43:13 I'm carrying this big secret.
43:15 Thank you.
43:16 I just can't hold it.
43:17 I don't know what to do.
43:19 [SIREN]
43:20 Don't know.
43:22 Let me go in now.
43:23 I don't know.
43:24 We kissed.
43:25 I just, I knew it, you know.
43:28 That Adam, I want a dog.
43:30 I thought you were bringing me out here to like, to call it off.
43:33 To break up with me.
43:34 No.
43:37 I couldn't imagine anything worse than that.
43:40 And then you actually said something worse than that.
43:42 [MUSIC]
43:48 [BLEEP]
43:49 You're a [BLEEP] idiot.
43:50 [BLEEP]
43:52 [BLEEP]
43:55 I can feel the adrenaline already starting to move from my body when I think of Adam.
44:03 He is an absolute dog of dogs.
44:07 I didn't know it would happen.
44:08 What do you mean how did it happen?
44:09 How did this happen Adam?
44:10 Do you even know?
44:11 Tell me.
44:12 All I know is that you hooked up with her.
44:14 Yeah, there's a lot more to it than that isn't there?
44:16 Holy shit.
44:17 I feel really awful for hurting Janelle.
44:20 And for hurting Jesse.
44:25 I've chosen to leave.
44:29 I chose to stay and try and earn back Jesse's trust and forgiveness.
44:34 See you later.
44:37 Well this is a very different couple.
44:41 Come here you.
44:42 What has allowed us to take us from where we were last week to where we are this week?
44:45 With Jesse and I moving forward, anything is possible.
44:48 Claire Bronte said that you're only here to repair your image after what you did to Jesse.
44:55 Bro, shut the [BLEEP] up Harrison.
44:56 Seriously, shut the [BLEEP] up.
44:57 Do you know what you need to do?
44:59 You need to take off that shirt and stick it on the pole and wave it around.
45:01 Because you're a giant red [BLEEP] flag.
45:02 I'm sorry Claire.
45:06 I'm sorry to say this.
45:07 Thanks.
45:08 How can I trust that the reason you wanted to stay was to build a connection with me and not to repair your image?
45:13 And this is the problem that cheating does.
45:17 I chose to leave.
45:20 I also really feel awful.
45:24 I'm talking to all of you, but particularly Harrison.
45:28 When you throw grenades like that, they can do untold damage.
45:31 [EXPLOSION]
45:33 [MUSIC]
45:46 How was that to watch back?
45:47 Claire?
45:49 It was really hard to watch.
45:51 I, um, I feel really disgusted in myself and embarrassed by some of my behavior.
45:58 By lying.
46:00 By gaslighting Jesse and telling him he has nothing to worry about when I knew that he did.
46:05 Yeah, it's pretty shit.
46:08 Jesse, where are you right now?
46:13 Yeah, just, you know, like, going back through it all mentally.
46:18 It's a tough watch.
46:21 Yeah.
46:22 This has been really difficult for us to watch as well.
46:28 Because you two were a very, very exciting couple that we put together.
46:33 And just the potential that you both had.
46:36 And so to see it unravel the way that it did was heartbreaking.
46:41 What sort of feelings did you develop, Jesse for Claire, during the experiment?
46:45 Well, yeah, you know, I liked it.
46:50 I liked her enough to get jealous.
46:57 Yeah.
46:58 I liked her enough to, you know, cry over the bad news.
47:01 I liked her enough to, you know, I guess forgive her to the point which I did.
47:07 Adam.
47:13 Oh no.
47:15 When you watch that back, the betrayal, the deceit, what does that do you?
47:21 [Music]
47:23 Adam.
47:36 Oh no.
47:38 When you watch that back, the betrayal, the deceit, what does that do you?
47:46 Um, yeah, like, yeah, sorry about the whole thing.
47:51 Like, I've had time to think about it all.
47:53 And the fact of the matter is, man, I did you wrong, did you dirty.
47:57 Same with Janelle.
47:58 And yeah, I really, like, understood it all now.
48:00 And it's definitely hit home.
48:02 Accept the apology, Jesse.
48:04 I do.
48:16 Appreciate it.
48:17 I would also like to say to Adam that I wish you the best, you know.
48:23 And I'm not going to let what happened hang over my head like a dark cloud and take this, you know, drag it around like an anchor.
48:30 Yeah, like, we might not be full buds going forward.
48:34 But I wish you the best.
48:36 Same bro.
48:37 Cheers, man.
48:38 Jesse, this experience, I know has not been easy, the journey for you.
48:44 What have you learned from being in this experiment?
48:46 What have I learned? Oh my God, I've learned so many things.
48:50 Wish I had something prepared for ya.
48:52 Whatever comes to mind.
48:53 I've learned to trust my intuition.
48:57 I've also learned to know that I can be better.
49:05 To know that there's more of myself to realize and grow into.
49:11 Because I thought coming into this I was like a good guy, you know.
49:17 But now I feel like I'm an even better guy.
49:19 Are you clear? Any regrets?
49:25 Oh, just one.
49:26 One particular night.
49:28 But I think that it's shone a light on me and my behaviors.
49:36 Seeking validation from outside sources when I'm not happy in myself.
49:40 Maybe that's not the way to go about it.
49:42 I regret hurting Jesse.
49:45 I'm so grateful for the respect that he's given back to me.
49:48 You know that, you know how sorry I obviously am for everything.
49:53 And I feel like this, the end of the experiment was the beginning of a new leaf.
49:58 And I want to be able to continue that.
50:00 Yeah, well said.
50:01 Yeah.
50:02 Yes, indeed.
50:03 How do you feel about Jesse being sitting here now with him?
50:05 Oh, I don't know if it's fair to say, but I really like, I love who Jesse is as a person.
50:10 I love his uniqueness, his quirkiness, his stay metal.
50:14 You know, I have a lot of kind, happy, great feelings about Jesse.
50:21 Jesse, have you got any parting words for Claire?
50:27 Um, no I don't.
50:31 Because she's coming with her.
50:35 What?
50:36 Whoa.
50:37 Yeah.
50:39 So my parting words now are, see you in a bit.
50:43 Watch this space.
50:53 I love it.
50:54 I'm gonna cry.
50:55 Good luck, and we look forward to seeing what happens to you in the future.
50:58 Thank you so much.
50:59 I love you.
51:00 I love you too.
51:01 I love you too.
51:02 Well that brings our reunion to an end.
51:11 Thank you so much for being brave enough to come into this experiment and try and find the fairy tale.
51:16 For a number of you, you were able to find true love.
51:19 For others, you didn't get what you came for.
51:24 However, this has been an incredible process.
51:27 You've faced challenges that most couples typically get over several years in a very short, intense space of time.
51:34 You've embraced the experiment.
51:36 You've come through it.
51:38 You've been raw, and we are so grateful for that.
51:41 And for those of you that are still searching for love, we hope that you find that special someone in the future.
51:46 For now, good luck, and thank you.
51:48 Thanks everyone.
51:49 Thank you so much.
51:55 Oh my God.
