00:00:00After an intense commitment ceremony last night, one bride has been unable to locate
00:00:16her husband.
00:00:40Having spent the night in a separate room, Ellie is returning to their apartment to
00:00:45search for Ben.
00:00:48It took a lot for me to get up last night, sit on that couch in front of the experts
00:00:52and the entire group and kind of air this issue that we've been having.
00:00:57I feel like you're trying to control the narrative and in turn you're kind of controlling me.
00:01:07I came here looking for the most genuine experience and I'm halfway through and I haven't
00:01:12got that yet, so I'm really sorry but I wrote leave.
00:01:21John said last night on the couch that this is seven days notice for Ben to turn it around
00:01:27and I don't even know where he is.
00:01:36Hello?
00:01:37Hello?
00:01:38Hello?
00:01:39He's not here, he's literally left.
00:02:02I feel good that I've said my piece and I've said what I truly think but I'm feeling very
00:02:08confused, a bit angry, I don't see a way forward at the moment because he's not here, he's
00:02:15hiding away and he just doesn't want to face it.
00:02:22He said put a muzzle on your woman.
00:02:24Previously, the experts called out bad behaviour.
00:02:29I've never heard a man talk to a woman like that.
00:02:32If someone said that to me about my wife, I would not back down.
00:02:38Leave.
00:02:39It was one of the most emotionally charged commitment ceremonies I've literally ever
00:02:46seen.
00:02:47I felt disrespected, I felt like my bubble burst.
00:02:50I'm really sorry but I wrote leave.
00:02:53Ben, that is you being put on notice.
00:02:57While for other couples...
00:02:59I just can't get enough of him, I honestly can't, he's the best.
00:03:01Last night was a chance to celebrate their deeper connections.
00:03:05I am very happy at the moment.
00:03:06You seem to be smiling very happily over there.
00:03:09So you're giggling like a little girl?
00:03:11Oh, because we haven't seen this before.
00:03:15Before expert Mel, do you find him offering you up to other men a joke, held up a mirror
00:03:20to Tori.
00:03:21When you put it like that, that actually makes me feel physically sick.
00:03:26It sounds like a really nice friendship.
00:03:29Yep, spot on.
00:03:30Just the reciprocation, like I don't feel too desired or whatever.
00:03:35And when Lucinda spoke her truth...
00:03:37Why you silent me under the bus?
00:03:39A frustrated Timothy was left feeling blindsided.
00:03:43You alright?
00:03:44Don't talk to me.
00:03:47Don't say a word.
00:03:50Tonight...
00:03:51We have seen this week make or break some of our couples.
00:03:55The next exciting phase of the experiment...
00:03:59Completely caught me off guard.
00:04:00I am nauseous.
00:04:02It's family and friends week.
00:04:05We're like doing really well at the moment.
00:04:07Tim said he was counting the days.
00:04:09Blink twice.
00:04:11Where over two nights...
00:04:13And he's not into me at all anymore.
00:04:15Our couples will seek much needed guidance from loved ones.
00:04:19I'm trying to work on the good things and focus on the good things.
00:04:23Lasting love.
00:04:24Take time.
00:04:25And as some bonds deepen...
00:04:28So you falling in love Jayden or what?
00:04:32Tori's friend Leah will not hold back.
00:04:36Put a muzzle on it.
00:04:37I mean it's not the 1950s.
00:04:39Sex is important.
00:04:41What's that like?
00:04:45This guy's hiding something.
00:04:47Plus...
00:04:48How would you like to go into this?
00:04:50Just walk in the bloody door.
00:04:51Lucinda and Timothy reach breaking point.
00:04:55Woah!
00:04:56But this unforgettable father of the bride...
00:04:59Wow you're getting down too low here.
00:05:01Woah!
00:05:02Will give Timothy...
00:05:04He's a bit repetitive I think and a bit boring.
00:05:06A no-nonsense reality check.
00:05:08It's a high wall, it's a brick, I can't, you know...
00:05:12It's boring.
00:05:13You need to not get your tits in a tangle and put your finger out.
00:05:17It could be a one night stand but just try it.
00:05:19Well he should.
00:05:25It's the official halfway point of the experiment for our original couples.
00:05:31And some are reflecting on their journey so far.
00:05:37Regardless of like all the, I guess, downs that we've had.
00:05:41I'm glad that we're like in a good place.
00:05:43Yeah.
00:05:44Yeah it's been good.
00:05:46Like the commitment ceremony was definitely our best one yet.
00:05:51We went in as a team, united front and we had each other's backs and we smashed it.
00:05:56So it was really nice.
00:06:00It's gone so quickly.
00:06:01But it's halfway.
00:06:02Yeah I know it's insane.
00:06:04Already halfway through.
00:06:05And we've got three halfway unscathed as well.
00:06:07More or less.
00:06:08Pretty much.
00:06:09Yeah.
00:06:10It's wild because I feel like I've known him for like years and years at this point.
00:06:14Got the lottery boyfriend here.
00:06:16Lottery boyfriend.
00:06:18Got the lottery boyfriend here.
00:06:20Lottery husband.
00:06:22Yeah it's husband.
00:06:24Thank the experts.
00:06:25Yeah.
00:06:28Down the hall, this morning one groom is feeling particularly remorseful.
00:06:35Welcome back.
00:06:37I got you your old juice.
00:06:40Last night, Tristan made a startling admission on the couch.
00:06:46I'm a bit nervous that we're just going to be, we're in the friend zone.
00:06:50And I don't want to waste any more of your time.
00:06:53And in a highly emotional moment, revealed his shocking decision.
00:06:58Sadly, I have already left.
00:07:02I'm sorry.
00:07:03I'm sorry.
00:07:05But insight from the experts.
00:07:07Tristan, is there a possibility that this is you getting in your own head?
00:07:13Helped the couple to turn their marriage around.
00:07:16She's so new.
00:07:17She really likes you.
00:07:18I know.
00:07:19Do you hear that?
00:07:20Yes, I do.
00:07:21This week is about you doing the work, Tristan.
00:07:23Yes, boss.
00:07:24100%.
00:07:27Do I regret writing leave?
00:07:29There's three things I regret in life.
00:07:31I try not to regret anything.
00:07:32And that is now one of them.
00:07:33Everyone can tell I care about her so much, you know.
00:07:36And everyone can tell she cares about me so much.
00:07:38Right, we're just a bit lost.
00:07:40I was in my own head.
00:07:42Self-sabotage at its finest.
00:07:43Oscar over here for the self-sabotage king.
00:07:45You know I care about you.
00:07:47I need you to understand, it was probably the hardest thing I've done the whole thing.
00:07:50Seeing Tristan Wright leave last night, it hurt like hell.
00:07:55Because other than the intimacy, Tristan is everything I want and need in a man.
00:08:01I think Tristan finally realised how much I care for him and care about him.
00:08:07And that's what maybe he needed.
00:08:11I'm sorry that I did do it.
00:08:12And I think it's actually, weirdly enough, put us way far forward.
00:08:16I feel like we're in a really relaxed place now, which is good.
00:08:20A lot of my own insecurities have been washed away.
00:08:22I've got a lot of grovelling to do this week, honey.
00:08:24I've got a lot of grovelling to do.
00:08:27I honestly think we will just be moving forward from now on.
00:08:35But not all of our couples have been able to move forward from the events of the past week.
00:08:41So you backed me up, but you didn't back me up.
00:08:43I heard you say, man, that's not appropriate or whatever you said about the muzzle comment.
00:08:47Forget that.
00:08:49I'm sorry, one comment, oh man, come on, you can't say that, is not enough.
00:08:53When some dude with a tight man bun and jeans three sizes too small was going at me.
00:09:01Don't climb my hair.
00:09:02I'm not talking to you, Lauren.
00:09:03Shut your mouth.
00:09:04Can you muzzle your woman?
00:09:07Muzzle your woman.
00:09:09Muzzle your woman?
00:09:11I don't talk to her like that, man.
00:09:13She needs it.
00:09:14Lauren's feelings were compounded at the commitment ceremony.
00:09:18Do you think you had her back?
00:09:21No.
00:09:22With Jonathan's apology rubbing salt into the wound.
00:09:29I apologise.
00:09:30I really love you guys, you're amazing.
00:09:32What the ****?
00:09:34What did you apologise to Jack for?
00:09:37Jack and Tori had a really rough night and I felt responsible that, you know, they came under fire.
00:09:47And this morning, Lauren is struggling to move past feeling unsupported by her husband.
00:09:54There was multiple chances to stand up for me against Jack and the choice was made repeatedly not to.
00:10:01It wasn't like it was a one-off mistake, you know, and I'm still pissed off about it.
00:10:06I just think it was like almost like you just put the knife in and like turned it.
00:10:10It's disappointing to see that in a group dynamic when it comes up against like his alliance with the boys.
00:10:19Or with me.
00:10:20He hung me out to dry.
00:10:24Like, I know you said it's not the case, but I really do feel like your priority is your friendship with Jack.
00:10:32I don't expect him to get loud and confrontational and I don't want that, that's not who he is.
00:10:38But I need to feel like I am his number one priority.
00:10:42And that he has the ability to stand up for a woman when a man is degrading her like that.
00:10:48I ****ed up, I stuffed up so bad.
00:10:51She's really hurt and I do get that.
00:10:54I feel really annoyed at myself.
00:10:57I feel like I let Lauren down.
00:11:00My partner is someone that you're meant to support and now we're back.
00:11:04I'm sorry.
00:11:06You know, it sucks because I think we were doing, doing really well.
00:11:11And then I feel like I've just gone and really stuffed that up too.
00:11:16I'll do better, I promise.
00:11:23It was a big night.
00:11:24It was a huge night and I don't ever want to have a night like that again.
00:11:28Blas, that was a lot for me, like a lot.
00:11:31You got roasted.
00:11:32Yeah, we, I got roasted.
00:11:36You think you can talk about a woman in that way?
00:11:40It's not going to happen on our watch.
00:11:43And after the experts pointed out Jack's questionable behaviour,
00:11:47do you find this idea of him offering you up to other men a joke?
00:11:54Tori's steadfast support for her husband faltered for the very first time.
00:11:59When you put it like that,
00:12:03that actually makes me feel physically sick.
00:12:09This morning, Tori has responded to the events of the past week
00:12:14with a bold and permanent statement.
00:12:17Are you nervous?
00:12:18Getting a matching tattoo with her husband.
00:12:22I just think it'll be a bit of like a f*** you to everyone.
00:12:27What do you think, babe?
00:12:28I'm pretty stoked.
00:12:29Pretty stoked?
00:12:30Yeah.
00:12:31Don't get me wrong, like the comment was woeful,
00:12:34but you can't rewind life.
00:12:38So let's move on.
00:12:40We are past arguments now.
00:12:42We are at a point where we're like just living La Vida Loca.
00:12:46So here we are.
00:12:49This is the best date ever.
00:12:51This is like a very nice date.
00:12:57Only love can hurt like this.
00:13:01We're getting along so well and we want to leave the experiment together
00:13:04and having a crack at the future together.
00:13:06So if anyone's questioning like our connection
00:13:09and how we feel about each other,
00:13:11I think this will help answer that as well.
00:13:14My turn.
00:13:16Your turn.
00:13:19Tattoos are for life.
00:13:20Mm.
00:13:21Um, and like they're a statement.
00:13:24That tattoo will just be a constant reminder of one another.
00:13:29And the fact that it's like on his inner side, I'm like,
00:13:33he'll always be thinking of me.
00:13:35Yeah.
00:13:38I'm gonna need some cream rubbed into this later.
00:13:41Say less.
00:13:43Say less.
00:13:44Every shit show that Jack and I are a part of,
00:13:46it just makes us stronger.
00:13:51I feel as though it's gonna be okay.
00:14:07Back at Ellie and Ben's apartment,
00:14:10there has been a development.
00:14:12There has been a development
00:14:14in the search for missing groom Ben.
00:14:17Do we hunt him down?
00:14:18Like...
00:14:19Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:14:22Hello?
00:14:23Hello?
00:14:24Yeah, where are you?
00:14:29Um, just, yeah.
00:14:33Beside the building.
00:14:36Are you gonna come back up?
00:14:40Are you with the producers?
00:14:42Yeah.
00:14:43Good.
00:14:44Can they hear what I'm saying?
00:14:45Yeah.
00:14:46Awesome.
00:14:48Um, Ellie, I really want to come back.
00:14:51Yes.
00:14:52Um, I just need, need some sleep.
00:14:54I've just had one hour's sleep.
00:14:56Um, yeah.
00:14:59He doesn't want to chat.
00:15:00He wants to chat when he's ready.
00:15:02I'm tired too.
00:15:03I think maybe you just like rip the Band-Aid off.
00:15:05Can you just like manage it for like 30 minutes even?
00:15:09Uh...
00:15:10I've been ready to chat since 8 o'clock this morning.
00:15:14So, like, why do I have to keep waiting for him?
00:15:18I've come into this experiment
00:15:20because I'm wanting to build a future with someone,
00:15:22but if that person's not here, I can't do that.
00:15:26Um, I have to go.
00:15:28Bye.
00:15:29Bye.
00:15:30Bye.
00:15:38Another night on my own.
00:15:41It just kind of cements what I said last night on the couch.
00:15:45This relationship is just on Ben's terms.
00:15:48He never makes me feel like I am his priority.
00:15:51And, yeah, I am a bit sick of it.
00:15:53I'm literally just laughing.
00:15:55Like, I'm actually, like, exhausted from him.
00:15:57Like, I just...
00:15:59If you don't laugh, you cry, right?
00:16:17Lucinda and Timothy are waking up in separate apartments
00:16:21following a tense session on the couch last night.
00:16:24The couple went into the commitment ceremony
00:16:27brimming with positivity.
00:16:29We have been very much focused on fun,
00:16:32including ending up at the stripper's bar.
00:16:36Me having all sorts of tits and arse in my face.
00:16:41But when Alessandra shone a spotlight
00:16:43on their slow-burn relationship style,
00:16:46it led to an unexpected confession.
00:16:49So it sounds like a friendship.
00:16:51Yep, spot on.
00:16:54Like, I don't feel too desired or whatever.
00:16:57And when Timothy was put under the microscope...
00:17:00Do you believe it's possible to fall in love with Lucinda, Timothy?
00:17:04I believe it. It really doesn't sound like it.
00:17:06I don't get any kind of vibe. Yeah, I'm not convinced.
00:17:09..leaving the groom feeling betrayed by his wife.
00:17:12You're actually throwing me under the bus?
00:17:15Yeah.
00:17:20I haven't seen Tim since the commitment ceremony.
00:17:27There's a part of me that cared or had a crush
00:17:30and has felt rejected and hurt and fractured.
00:17:34I think I got on the couch
00:17:36and just sort of gave the good and the bad and the ugly
00:17:39because I'm a big believer in being honest,
00:17:41just getting it out on the table.
00:17:43But I also understand
00:17:45that lots of people in his life have let him down
00:17:48and knowing Tim,
00:17:50I know he will have put his walls up massively now.
00:17:55Yeah, it's tough.
00:18:01She completely blindsided me.
00:18:04I felt really good going into it.
00:18:07We had a good weekend
00:18:09and then she started sort of saying,
00:18:11sort of saying, it's going nowhere.
00:18:13And then Jayden arcs up at me.
00:18:16So she had everyone on her side.
00:18:19My number one thing in life and love
00:18:23is trust and loyalty.
00:18:25But it was just a straight attack.
00:18:27There was no team.
00:18:29I am pissed off.
00:18:31I am angry.
00:18:33No, I've got no trust.
00:18:35Loyalty? She doesn't have any.
00:18:41MUSIC
00:18:51Today marks an important milestone in the experiment.
00:18:57With our newest couples moving in to their apartments.
00:19:01This way.
00:19:03The newlyweds are four weeks behind the original couples
00:19:06and will be taking part in a crash course.
00:19:10Oh, we look so cute, darling.
00:19:12Designed to help them fast track their relationship.
00:19:15Wow. This looks chic.
00:19:17Beginning with moving in together.
00:19:19Very intimate place.
00:19:21Yeah, we're going to be spending a lot of quality time together.
00:19:26Moving in together is a real test in any relationship.
00:19:30OK, so what side of the bed do you want?
00:19:32Let's establish this first. This side.
00:19:34It allows for them to create a space together
00:19:37and ultimately see if they can get along
00:19:40and develop a deeper connection.
00:19:45Moved in today with the old bed to the new apartment.
00:19:48Lucky me. Welcome home, darling.
00:19:50Excited? I'm excited.
00:19:52Yeah, it is the first time I live with a partner
00:19:54but that doesn't really worry me
00:19:56because things are going good with Jade.
00:19:58You're stuck with me the rest of the time.
00:20:00That's all right. I'm happy with that, darling.
00:20:02I'm happy with that.
00:20:04It's a very warm, fuzzy feeling.
00:20:06Oh, God. What's going on here?
00:20:08But no, it's nice.
00:20:09I think we're in a good position
00:20:11considering seeing a lot of other couples.
00:20:13I'm like, oh, Jesus.
00:20:17A couple yet to move into their apartment are Ash and Madeline.
00:20:21At last night's commitment ceremony,
00:20:24the couple were not united
00:20:26in their decision to stay or leave the experiment.
00:20:30I said...
00:20:32stay.
00:20:34OK.
00:20:36I'm going to leave.
00:20:39But despite writing stay,
00:20:41this morning Ash has had a change of heart
00:20:44and the pair have come to an amicable agreement to leave.
00:20:48I wrote stay.
00:20:50I should have wrote leave, but that's on me.
00:20:52And I reflected and 24 hours later I'm here
00:20:55and I'm like, no, it wasn't the right choice.
00:20:57I need to get out of this.
00:20:59If I can reflect, it was absolutely doomed from the start, yeah.
00:21:04I mean, the warning signs were there.
00:21:06Hold on a sec.
00:21:08Things are good and then she started hearing voices.
00:21:10I love you beyond.
00:21:13I don't know what is going on.
00:21:17I honestly came here, like, with my heart on my sleeve.
00:21:20Ready to find love.
00:21:21I still want to have a wife.
00:21:23I still want to have, like, a family that doesn't change.
00:21:26The path's been skewed, but I know which way I'm going.
00:21:30I know I'll get those things eventually.
00:21:34MUSIC
00:21:41While our remaining newlyweds embark on Crash Course Week,
00:21:45for our original couples,
00:21:47the experiment is about to enter the next exciting phase.
00:21:56Oh, my God.
00:21:58Are you excited?
00:21:59Yeah, it should be a good day.
00:22:00Today, Dad and Mum coming down.
00:22:03Typically, in this experiment,
00:22:05we have seen this week make or break some of our couples.
00:22:08The opinions and influence of loved ones
00:22:11can have a positive and constructive impact
00:22:13or a devastating one.
00:22:15You hungry?
00:22:16Not really.
00:22:17I've got, like, a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach.
00:22:20But the goal remains the same,
00:22:22for our couples to reflect on their journey so far
00:22:25and to identify and address any issues
00:22:27that may have come up during their time in the experiment
00:22:30with the help and support of the people who know them best.
00:22:34The first couple to receive a visit from their loved ones
00:22:38are Tori and Jack.
00:22:40Flower's a bit dead.
00:22:42That's OK.
00:22:43Adds a bit of character.
00:22:45Tori is anxious about the arrival of her best friend, Leah...
00:22:49Sorry.
00:22:50..who she hasn't seen since the wedding day.
00:22:54There is something about him that is, like, reserved and guarded.
00:22:58And Leah was not shy in voicing her concerns about Jack.
00:23:02When it comes to Jack, I just have this weird feeling.
00:23:05It's just an intuition that I have.
00:23:08There is something.
00:23:09I can feel it in my...bones.
00:23:11But there is something.
00:23:14It might be, like, um...
00:23:17It could be something like a misogynistic thing.
00:23:19I mean, you don't know.
00:23:20You won't know until it comes out.
00:23:24The aim of today is to not tell Leah to put a muzzle on it.
00:23:27Let's not do that.
00:23:28Let's...
00:23:29Not do that.
00:23:30Let's not do that.
00:23:32Noted.
00:23:33Be nice for Leah to see where we're at now.
00:23:38Because Jack and I are in a really good place.
00:23:40Really good place.
00:23:41But when it comes to Leah, I'm sure she's got a treat to say.
00:23:45I don't know how today's going to go.
00:23:47I've only spent a brief, you know,
00:23:49couple of minutes with Leah at the wedding,
00:23:52and apparently she had a couple of questions about me then,
00:23:55so today I want to impress her
00:23:57and, yeah, I hope I can win her over a little bit today
00:24:00and, yeah, we have, like, a nice relationship moving forward.
00:24:04I think you're pretty close to perfect.
00:24:08Is that Leah, dog?
00:24:10Ooh!
00:24:12Oh.
00:24:15Ah!
00:24:19Oh, my God!
00:24:21That's so nice.
00:24:22Tori and Leah just had this massive embrace.
00:24:29It was special and...
00:24:33I felt emotional.
00:24:35I really did.
00:24:36Yeah.
00:24:42That just, um...
00:24:43That blew me away.
00:24:44I definitely think, uh...
00:24:49That was amazing.
00:24:52I think he knows the right things to say.
00:24:55I'll leave it at that.
00:24:56Can I get you a drink of anything?
00:24:58Yes, please.
00:24:59First impressions of Jacob at the wedding wasn't fantastic.
00:25:02He was a little bit stand-offish.
00:25:04I just felt like he was a bit of a weirdo.
00:25:06He was a bit of a weirdo.
00:25:07He was a bit of a weirdo.
00:25:08He was a bit of a weirdo.
00:25:09He was a bit of a weirdo.
00:25:10He was a bit of a weirdo.
00:25:11He was a bit of a weirdo.
00:25:12He was a bit of a weirdo.
00:25:13I just felt like we didn't click.
00:25:15I walked away thinking,
00:25:16who is this guy?
00:25:17What are his intentions?
00:25:19Champagne?
00:25:20Yes, please.
00:25:21Is this genuine?
00:25:24Who is my friend married?
00:25:27Going into today,
00:25:28I just want to know if Tori's OK.
00:25:31I think I've got a pretty good read.
00:25:33I think we are so connected
00:25:35that she knows when I'm with a dud.
00:25:37I know when she's with a dud.
00:25:39So I think I'll be able to tell right away
00:25:42if she's OK.
00:25:46The last time we saw each other
00:25:47was at the wedding.
00:25:48Like literally.
00:25:50How did that day make you feel?
00:25:54It was intense.
00:25:55It was surreal.
00:25:56It was good.
00:25:57It was good until it wasn't.
00:26:00You were so reserved with me
00:26:02that I was like,
00:26:04this guy's hiding something.
00:26:05And you do look like a f***ing boy.
00:26:07Sorry.
00:26:10You're right.
00:26:12Like honestly,
00:26:14after the wedding,
00:26:15I was so nervous
00:26:16and all of my suspicions
00:26:18kind of came to a head
00:26:19when T mentioned
00:26:21like the dinner,
00:26:22the dinner party,
00:26:23the most recent dinner party.
00:26:25The muzzle comment
00:26:26was absolutely disgusting.
00:26:28The fact that
00:26:30that comment was Jacob's knee-jerk reaction
00:26:32tells me that
00:26:34at the root of his soul
00:26:36he is a misogynistic person.
00:26:39We need to unpack it.
00:26:40We need to unpack it.
00:26:42We need to unpack it.
00:26:45Next
00:26:46as some bonds deepen
00:26:48You have everything
00:26:49I've ever wanted
00:26:50in a partner.
00:26:51You had no issue
00:26:52throwing me under the bus.
00:26:54Lucinda and Timothy
00:26:56implode.
00:26:57Obviously I was pissed
00:26:58because everyone jumped
00:26:59on your bandwagon.
00:27:00in an awkward family lunch.
00:27:03Ever since I've
00:27:04been here today
00:27:05I hear the same thing
00:27:06going on
00:27:07about being pissed off
00:27:08and this and that
00:27:09and blah blah blah.
00:27:10He's a bit repetitive
00:27:11I think
00:27:12and a bit boring.
00:27:22Family and Friends Week
00:27:23is underway
00:27:25and Jack
00:27:26is being interrogated
00:27:27by Tory's
00:27:28best friend Leah
00:27:29for his
00:27:30controversial
00:27:31comment.
00:27:34The muzzle comment?
00:27:35Right.
00:27:36We need to unpack it.
00:27:37We need to unpack it.
00:27:39I'm always
00:27:40nervous to bring that up
00:27:41because
00:27:42it's not my finest moment
00:27:43but
00:27:44I want her to hear
00:27:45my side
00:27:46and sort of
00:27:47I don't know
00:27:48work my way
00:27:49out of the hole
00:27:50I've put myself in.
00:27:51So what happened?
00:27:52I had a go
00:27:53with a girl
00:27:54at the dinner party
00:27:55we were having
00:27:56an hour at the table
00:27:57we were under fire
00:27:58she was questioning
00:27:59our relationship
00:28:00and yeah
00:28:01I'm really protective
00:28:02so basically
00:28:03I snapped
00:28:04and said
00:28:05put a muzzle on it.
00:28:07Wow okay.
00:28:08And at the end
00:28:09of the day
00:28:10I'm going to
00:28:11defend my territory
00:28:12my family
00:28:13you know
00:28:14to the wits end.
00:28:16I don't regret
00:28:17I'll always
00:28:18protect my family
00:28:19you've got to
00:28:20have someone
00:28:21that has that
00:28:22kind of
00:28:23strong
00:28:24protective
00:28:25dominant role
00:28:26so that's me.
00:28:27That's how I got there.
00:28:28Mate.
00:28:30I would laugh
00:28:31it's you know
00:28:32it's like
00:28:33one of those responses
00:28:34where you know
00:28:35you laugh at something
00:28:36but it's not funny
00:28:37like so
00:28:40you know
00:28:41it's confronting.
00:28:42Yeah I apologised.
00:28:45It's kind of
00:28:46disgusting
00:28:47that he would say that
00:28:48wonderful that he apologised
00:28:49hope it was genuine
00:28:51but
00:28:52I highly doubt that.
00:28:57Are all aspects
00:28:58of your relationship
00:28:59great?
00:29:03I guess like
00:29:05like intimacy
00:29:06Speak girl.
00:29:08I don't know what I can say
00:29:09what I can't say.
00:29:10Whatever you want to
00:29:11dive into
00:29:12let's go for it.
00:29:13I just want to know
00:29:14if
00:29:15like one
00:29:16they're being intimate
00:29:17and two
00:29:18if it's good
00:29:19I would be concerned
00:29:20if they're not being
00:29:21physically intimate
00:29:23sex is important.
00:29:26Like
00:29:27what's that like?
00:29:30I've been dying
00:29:31to know.
00:29:33We haven't had sex.
00:29:34Yeah we haven't had sex today.
00:29:35So we haven't had sex yet.
00:29:38Um
00:29:40yeah I come into this
00:29:42sex wasn't even like
00:29:43I don't know
00:29:44at the forefront of my mind
00:29:45it was all about
00:29:46matching someone's energy
00:29:47and compatibility
00:29:48and values
00:29:49and then obviously
00:29:50that would all come.
00:29:51Yeah right.
00:29:54Is this a red flag for you?
00:29:57It
00:29:59it's an orange flag.
00:30:00It's an orange flag.
00:30:02Let's say that
00:30:03it's an orange flag.
00:30:06It's like
00:30:07unusual.
00:30:08Different for me.
00:30:09Yeah I mean
00:30:10it is really different for you.
00:30:11Yeah.
00:30:12You know me
00:30:13very sexual person
00:30:14means a lot.
00:30:15Coming into this
00:30:16I wanted to make sure that
00:30:17what we had as people
00:30:19and a foundation
00:30:20and a connection
00:30:21was like bulletproof.
00:30:23I was kind of
00:30:24shocked to hear
00:30:25that they haven't
00:30:26been intimate.
00:30:27I'm actually shook.
00:30:28I've been
00:30:29like this is her way
00:30:31and she's been
00:30:32reciprocating
00:30:33and yeah like
00:30:34it's so awkward
00:30:35to be like yeah
00:30:36I'm like ready to do it
00:30:37but yeah
00:30:38I'm ready
00:30:39like there's nothing
00:30:40holding me back now.
00:30:41Right.
00:30:42Okay.
00:30:43But just like in a really
00:30:44like
00:30:46it's like a sweet spot
00:30:47for sure.
00:30:48Yeah right.
00:30:49Like super united.
00:30:52They're probably like
00:30:53the strongest in here.
00:30:55You're different.
00:30:56You even look different.
00:30:57Thanks.
00:31:00Her whole demeanour
00:31:01has shifted completely.
00:31:02This is something
00:31:03that's very foreign
00:31:04for me to observe
00:31:05Tori in that way
00:31:06because she's always
00:31:07kind of
00:31:08boss on it
00:31:09controlling the situation.
00:31:11This is the first time
00:31:12on God
00:31:13that I've ever seen you
00:31:15literally
00:31:16just like relinquish control.
00:31:17I'm shook.
00:31:19I really am like
00:31:22This just happened so
00:31:23organically and naturally
00:31:24she just like submitted
00:31:25some of that control
00:31:26to the man I suppose
00:31:27like they're your words
00:31:28and I haven't had to
00:31:29push anything
00:31:30force anything.
00:31:33I definitely think
00:31:34he's a good talker
00:31:36but
00:31:37I've just got to have
00:31:38faith and trust
00:31:39in what Tori's telling me.
00:31:41Well it's been good
00:31:42to have you here.
00:31:43Let's take good care of her.
00:31:44Before you go
00:31:45I'm going to give you something.
00:31:46Oh my God.
00:31:50Do you trust Jack?
00:31:51I've known him
00:31:52for five minutes.
00:31:54How much can you really
00:31:55trust somebody
00:31:56after five minutes?
00:32:04I buy tricks
00:32:05and
00:32:06that was a perfect
00:32:07way to get her on side.
00:32:12She's had a sit down
00:32:13with me and Tori now
00:32:14and yeah
00:32:15she's
00:32:16ticked all the boxes
00:32:17for me.
00:32:18I think she's a great person.
00:32:22I think Leah
00:32:23came in here
00:32:24with a few questions.
00:32:26Alright
00:32:27I'm out.
00:32:28Thanks for coming
00:32:29and I feel like
00:32:30Leah was leaving
00:32:31with
00:32:32everything resolved.
00:32:37Collectively
00:32:38we're all singing
00:32:39from the same hymn book
00:32:40and I don't think
00:32:41it could have gone any better.
00:32:42Wow.
00:32:43Wow.
00:32:53A loved up Eden and Jaden
00:32:55have travelled to Queensland
00:32:56to meet with their families.
00:32:58Cheers.
00:32:59Meeting the fam
00:33:00and marrying strangers.
00:33:03Joining them are
00:33:04Eden's father Phil
00:33:06Jaden's coach Mark
00:33:08and brother Mitch.
00:33:10Mitch did the experiment
00:33:11two years ago as well
00:33:12so the same thing
00:33:13that we did.
00:33:14A bit of deja vu
00:33:15yes I remember
00:33:16meeting their parents
00:33:17and it's
00:33:18it's nerve wracking.
00:33:19So I think today
00:33:20I just want an update
00:33:21on their relationship
00:33:22just to sort of see
00:33:23how they're going.
00:33:24So you fall in love Jaden
00:33:25or what?
00:33:29He sounds like
00:33:30the expert.
00:33:32You sound like John
00:33:33you honestly sound like John.
00:33:34He's been trying to get
00:33:35that word out of me
00:33:36every week.
00:33:38Are you getting there?
00:33:40Yeah 100%
00:33:41we are easily
00:33:42the strongest couple
00:33:43and we're doing really well
00:33:44like we're starting to plan
00:33:45our life outside the experiment.
00:33:47She's got the lottery partner
00:33:48so
00:33:49how's this place?
00:33:51Oh my God.
00:33:53Do you think Eden
00:33:54seems happy?
00:33:55Very
00:33:56very.
00:33:57I think Eden
00:33:58and Jaden are a great match.
00:34:00I'm happy that she's happy
00:34:01and that's all you want
00:34:02for your kids.
00:34:03I'm stoked
00:34:04things are going good you know.
00:34:06It looks like you two guys
00:34:07are falling in love.
00:34:09Getting there.
00:34:10When I did the experiment
00:34:11obviously I was a little bit
00:34:12sceptical
00:34:13and I think that's where
00:34:14I went wrong
00:34:15but
00:34:16I definitely think Jaden
00:34:17is 100% committed
00:34:18in this experiment.
00:34:19He's going to go all the way.
00:34:21I think the experts
00:34:22have got it pretty
00:34:23pretty spot on.
00:34:24I mean that says enough
00:34:25for itself.
00:34:26Here we go guys
00:34:27cheers to that.
00:34:31Back in Sydney.
00:34:35Second day in the apartment babe.
00:34:38Feeling settled in?
00:34:39I am.
00:34:40Newlyweds Jade and Ridge
00:34:42are settling into
00:34:43their new reality
00:34:44of life in the experiment.
00:34:47I feel good.
00:34:49And the challenges
00:34:50it entails.
00:34:51Someone's at the door.
00:34:54What is it?
00:34:56Having come into the experiment
00:34:57at the midway point
00:34:59our newest couples
00:35:00have some catching up to do.
00:35:02A relationship crash course.
00:35:04Our crash course
00:35:05is specifically designed
00:35:06for them to fast track
00:35:07their marriages
00:35:08and to get their relationship
00:35:09on the same level
00:35:10as their peers.
00:35:12To do this
00:35:13they will need to tackle
00:35:14some of the same tasks
00:35:15the original newlyweds undertook.
00:35:18Yeah I definitely feel like
00:35:19we know a lot about each other
00:35:20in a short amount of time.
00:35:22Although the couple
00:35:23shared an instant
00:35:24physical attraction
00:35:25on their wedding day.
00:35:26As soon as I saw her
00:35:27I was just like
00:35:28yeah
00:35:29days.
00:35:31Ridge's mischievous
00:35:32sense of humour
00:35:33raised concerns for Jade.
00:35:36There's like joking around
00:35:37and then there's like
00:35:38joking around
00:35:39because you're immature.
00:35:40But Ridge surprised everyone
00:35:42with his level of maturity
00:35:44after Jade told him
00:35:45that she is a mum.
00:35:47I have a daughter.
00:35:50Oh do you really?
00:35:51Yeah.
00:35:52What's her name?
00:35:53Victoria.
00:35:54Thought I'd better throw that in.
00:35:55I appreciate the honesty
00:35:56but yeah that's sick
00:35:57I can't wait to meet her.
00:35:58And after a strong start
00:35:59to their marriage
00:36:01the young couple
00:36:02are about to be tested
00:36:03with the next task
00:36:05in the crash course.
00:36:07For this next part
00:36:08of the experiment
00:36:09we are setting an important task
00:36:10to explore your vulnerabilities
00:36:12your fears
00:36:13and your deepest thoughts.
00:36:14For this task
00:36:15you must write a letter
00:36:16to your partner
00:36:17revealing a significant experience
00:36:19you've had in your life.
00:36:21It could be something
00:36:22you've never told anyone before
00:36:23or perhaps something
00:36:24you deeply regret.
00:36:28I definitely did come here
00:36:29to let someone in
00:36:32and let the walls down.
00:36:36But
00:36:37it is very hard for me
00:36:39to open up
00:36:40because I feel like
00:36:41I've opened up before
00:36:42and I've just been let down.
00:36:52Okay.
00:36:56Dear Rich
00:36:57I'd like to give you
00:36:58a little insight on my life
00:36:59that made me the person I am today.
00:37:03Falling pregnant at 18
00:37:04was hard for me.
00:37:11During my pregnancy
00:37:12I had a lot of stress
00:37:13going on with my partner.
00:37:16He told me he wanted a family
00:37:18but then he wasn't there for me.
00:37:20I was alone.
00:37:22I later found out
00:37:23he was cheating on me.
00:37:25I felt like
00:37:26they took away
00:37:27my daughter's chance
00:37:28at a family.
00:37:30Looking back now
00:37:31I really regret
00:37:32the anger I felt every day
00:37:34and the feeling
00:37:35like I didn't deserve
00:37:36the situation
00:37:37because I felt like
00:37:38I never got to enjoy
00:37:39being pregnant
00:37:40or being happy.
00:37:42But she has been
00:37:43the biggest blessing
00:37:44in my life
00:37:46and every day
00:37:47I'm thankful for her.
00:37:57One sec.
00:37:59Where's the tissues at?
00:38:00They're here somewhere.
00:38:03It's a lot for a 19 year old
00:38:04to go through
00:38:05especially on her own.
00:38:06Cheating
00:38:07while she was pregnant.
00:38:08Like what a dickhead.
00:38:11He needs to have
00:38:12a good hard look at himself
00:38:13and give himself an uppercut.
00:38:16I'm so sorry
00:38:17that you had to go through that.
00:38:19You're essentially on your own.
00:38:21Like that's scary for anyone.
00:38:23I do appreciate you
00:38:24opening up to me like that though.
00:38:25It was definitely
00:38:26the deepest we've gotten
00:38:27since we've been together.
00:38:29It was pretty full on.
00:38:30A lot to unpack.
00:38:32It's never a nice feeling
00:38:33seeing someone you care about
00:38:34cry and be upset.
00:38:36I don't like seeing you cry.
00:38:37That's...
00:38:38Nah, not for me.
00:38:39I don't like that.
00:38:42Bridge was very sweet
00:38:43about my letter
00:38:45and I did feel
00:38:46very thankful
00:38:47that he was able
00:38:48to get to that
00:38:49deep connection level
00:38:51with me
00:38:52because he was
00:38:53that deep connection level
00:38:54with me
00:38:55because it's something
00:38:56I've not seen from him
00:38:57yet.
00:39:00You did good.
00:39:01Thanks babe.
00:39:02It's brought us closer together
00:39:03even though
00:39:04it will probably
00:39:05always be an insecurity
00:39:06for me.
00:39:11Thanks for taking care.
00:39:24This week
00:39:25our newest couples
00:39:26are taking part
00:39:27in a crash course
00:39:28designed to expedite
00:39:29their progress
00:39:30in the experiment.
00:39:32Are you uncomfortable?
00:39:34A little bit.
00:39:35Yeah.
00:39:36For Michael and Stephen
00:39:37it will be an opportunity
00:39:39to get their relationship
00:39:40back on track.
00:39:42Although the couple
00:39:43shared an instant connection
00:39:45on their wedding day
00:39:46Stephen was quick
00:39:47to put his walls up
00:39:48after Michael revealed
00:39:49he was pregnant.
00:39:50Stephen was quick
00:39:51to put his walls up
00:39:52after Michael revealed
00:39:53that his initial match
00:39:54had chosen
00:39:55to leave the experiment
00:39:5748 hours
00:39:58after the Bucks
00:39:59and Hens night.
00:40:01I have been
00:40:02previously matched
00:40:03in this experiment before.
00:40:05I felt sick.
00:40:06I just felt
00:40:07am I just
00:40:08his fill in?
00:40:10And the couple
00:40:11are starting the new week
00:40:12hopeful that
00:40:13the crash course tasks
00:40:14will help
00:40:15reawaken
00:40:16their initial connection.
00:40:18Nothing beats
00:40:19a hug.
00:40:20Allow yourself to melt
00:40:21into your partner's hug
00:40:22for three minutes
00:40:23and I guarantee
00:40:24in that moment
00:40:25you'll experience
00:40:26a true genuine connection.
00:40:27Happy hugging.
00:40:28Alessandra.
00:40:29I like feeling
00:40:30connected and physical touch.
00:40:31That's my way of bonding.
00:40:33I manifested this.
00:40:34Yeah.
00:40:35I manifested this.
00:40:36So hopefully
00:40:37he wants to put his arms
00:40:38around me
00:40:39and he wants to get
00:40:40closer to me
00:40:41because I want to
00:40:42move forward
00:40:43and hopefully
00:40:44the hug moment
00:40:45will keep it going.
00:40:46Timer on.
00:40:47Stretch.
00:40:48Timer on.
00:40:49And go.
00:40:50I feel like I can feel
00:40:51your heartbeat.
00:40:52Probably.
00:40:56That's a pretty
00:40:57intense thing to do
00:40:58with someone
00:40:59because of
00:41:00where I'm at.
00:41:06You smell good.
00:41:07That's promising.
00:41:13You're comfortable.
00:41:15Yeah, I am.
00:41:19And...
00:41:20I think we're done.
00:41:21Are we?
00:41:22Yeah.
00:41:23Good hug.
00:41:25That was a good hug.
00:41:27For me, the hug
00:41:28was incredible.
00:41:29I enjoyed it.
00:41:30It was pleasant
00:41:31to just feel him
00:41:32around me
00:41:33and be warm.
00:41:34I feel more comfortable
00:41:35with you.
00:41:36Well, thank God.
00:41:37Yes, definitely.
00:41:38And I feel
00:41:39like everything
00:41:40that we're doing
00:41:41is heading
00:41:42in that direction.
00:41:44I feel so much
00:41:45more comfortable
00:41:46with you.
00:41:47I feel so much more
00:41:48like I'm
00:41:49indescribably
00:41:50comfortable with him now.
00:41:51I don't feel like
00:41:52I need to keep
00:41:53putting my wall up.
00:41:55It's a good step.
00:41:56I'm liking what I see.
00:42:03It's a brand new day
00:42:04in the experiment.
00:42:06And the newlyweds
00:42:07Jade and Ridge
00:42:08are waking up
00:42:09after a challenging
00:42:10crash course
00:42:11task last night.
00:42:13Where Jade
00:42:14opened up
00:42:15about her
00:42:16relationship history
00:42:17leaving her
00:42:18feeling vulnerable
00:42:19this morning.
00:42:21How are you feeling?
00:42:23Fine.
00:42:24Last night was a lot.
00:42:27The confessions letter
00:42:28brought up
00:42:29a lot of feelings
00:42:30for me.
00:42:32After everything
00:42:33that I've been through
00:42:34I always expect
00:42:35the worst from guys.
00:42:38I'm worried
00:42:39that it's going
00:42:40to happen again.
00:42:42Obviously I do
00:42:43like him a lot
00:42:44so it is
00:42:45scary letting him in.
00:42:50So honey
00:42:51why are you crying?
00:42:52Come here.
00:42:55Talk to me.
00:42:58Talk to me.
00:43:01Why are you crying?
00:43:02I don't know.
00:43:04You're crying for a reason.
00:43:05Tell me.
00:43:07Forget everything else.
00:43:08Talk to me.
00:43:16Talk to me honey.
00:43:19Like I just feel like
00:43:20we are good
00:43:21and so like
00:43:22it does make me like
00:43:24nervous.
00:43:27And I just get
00:43:28in my own head
00:43:29because I feel like
00:43:31I don't really deserve
00:43:32to like have someone
00:43:33like being real good to me.
00:43:37So I'm like
00:43:38kind of waiting for you
00:43:39to up and leave.
00:43:41Hello.
00:43:42Leave?
00:43:43I'll leave.
00:43:48I'm not going anywhere.
00:43:49Okay?
00:43:50Alright?
00:43:52I understand
00:43:53that you've had a rough go.
00:43:54I don't plan to go anywhere
00:43:55and I definitely see
00:43:56potential in us.
00:43:58You have everything
00:43:59I've ever wanted
00:44:00in a partner.
00:44:01You know literally
00:44:02everything I asked for
00:44:03they gave me right here.
00:44:05You really are.
00:44:07It's never easy
00:44:08hearing somebody
00:44:09care about Cry.
00:44:10Obviously that stems
00:44:11from the trauma
00:44:12she's had in the past
00:44:13with previous partners.
00:44:14I really do care about her
00:44:15and I really do like her.
00:44:16And I need to prove
00:44:17that to her as well
00:44:18this week.
00:44:19So that's
00:44:20that's our little homework
00:44:21for the week.
00:44:22So just work with me.
00:44:24Okay?
00:44:25I'm not going to get up
00:44:26and leave.
00:44:27I have never had anyone
00:44:28treat me like
00:44:29Rich is treating me.
00:44:30Just know that you deserve
00:44:32someone to treat you well
00:44:33and
00:44:36yeah.
00:44:38I feel like he's
00:44:39reassured me so much
00:44:40I didn't expect
00:44:41for someone
00:44:42to care for me
00:44:43the way Rich does.
00:44:44I do feel very thankful
00:44:45to have been matched
00:44:46with you.
00:44:54Next
00:44:55Come on Tim
00:44:56it's time to move on.
00:44:57He's a bit repetitive
00:44:58I think
00:44:59and a bit boring.
00:45:00Lucinda's dad
00:45:01Wow
00:45:02you are a brick I'm sure
00:45:03does not hold back.
00:45:05I'm all bricks
00:45:06I can't
00:45:07you know
00:45:08it's boring.
00:45:10Ah
00:45:20With family
00:45:21and friends week
00:45:22in full swing
00:45:24Lucinda and Timothy
00:45:25are getting ready
00:45:26in separate apartments
00:45:27to meet their loved ones.
00:45:30It's a new day
00:45:31catching up with
00:45:32friends and family.
00:45:33We're in
00:45:34a bit of
00:45:35no-man's-land.
00:45:36Tim obviously
00:45:37is
00:45:38very disappointed
00:45:39in me. He thinks I pushed him under the bus at the commitment ceremony and the
00:45:45walls have gone up again. This relationship with Tim has not been
00:45:50smooth sailing. This is not a sail trip on the Greek Isles. This is a sail trip
00:45:58in the rough waters of, I don't know, the Baltic Oceans on a windy old stormy
00:46:06night. I'm not sure where this relationship's going. What I am
00:46:10committed to is not giving up on her. So I hope that we can move through and get
00:46:16beyond our differences. Best case scenario is that Tim and I would feel
00:46:23more connected with the support of our loved ones that maybe some more walls
00:46:29would come down. That would be the best case scenario I think. So that's what I'm
00:46:34manifesting. Today I've got a little extra protection on. I've got my crystal
00:46:39quartz as a big, you know, just as a bit of a filter around this like heart
00:46:45chakra area. But I am hopeful that we can work through it. But down the hall
00:46:52Timothy is not feeling so hopeful. The commitment ceremony, it was a shit show.
00:47:00We haven't seen each other since then. She threw me under the bus. We had a good
00:47:06weekend but she then started sort of saying I'm wasting her time here and
00:47:11just it's going nowhere. I'm still pissed off. The whole thing really hurt me.
00:47:17Every time I do drop that wall a little I seem to get burnt and the more times
00:47:23you get burnt the more you don't want to let anyone in.
00:47:31Meanwhile in the inner west of Sydney, Lucinda's parents Michael and Susan have
00:47:38flown in from Melbourne for lunch and are eager to catch up with their daughter.
00:47:43We're looking forward to grilling the two of them and see what's happening.
00:47:48Yeah, it'll be very exciting. It will be very exciting.
00:47:53Wow, you're getting down too low. Oh my goodness.
00:47:59Lucinda, we love Lucinda. We miss her. We've been waiting all day to give her a hug.
00:48:04We have been. She is the most beautiful, loving person. Lucinda and Tim's
00:48:11relationship, we don't know a lot. We would hope that, you know, it's going
00:48:17along reasonably well and that they're happy.
00:48:22MUSIC PLAYS
00:48:46How would you like to go into these? Just walk in the bloody door.
00:48:52MUSIC PLAYS
00:48:56Well, I would like to feel connected.
00:49:02I'm happy to move on and it's not, I don't want to harp on about it and
00:49:08that's all, that's all I want to say. I'm happy to move on.
00:49:10Duly noted.
00:49:13It's been a rocky week and I suppose let's just be honest.
00:49:17But like, okay, the rocky week is you had no issue throwing me under the bus at the CC.
00:49:26And I think you relished in the fact that I was getting my arse handed to me.
00:49:30I don't, I don't agree with that.
00:49:32MUSIC PLAYS
00:49:47Can we get out?
00:49:51MUSIC PLAYS
00:50:03She loved the fact that John handed me my arse.
00:50:06She loved the fact that old frigging Fabio jumped in.
00:50:10She loved it.
00:50:12This is a shit way to walk in.
00:50:14MUSIC PLAYS
00:50:17MUSIC PLAYS
00:50:23What's up?
00:50:25I wouldn't love it if we, you know, did go in as a team and I'm sorry.
00:50:33I f***ed up on the couch, you're absolutely right.
00:50:36But there's also been hurts and pains on my side.
00:50:40I felt really good going into it and then you just started piling it on.
00:50:45There was no team.
00:50:46And it's almost like you like the fact that that f***ing dickhead Jayden spoke up.
00:50:51I actually didn't.
00:50:52I just got caught up.
00:50:53I've explained that.
00:50:54I don't, you know, I'm trying my best here.
00:50:56I am, you know, and I get where you're coming from too.
00:51:04Okay, well, how are we going to go in here?
00:51:07We're going in, like, just like, let's shake it out.
00:51:10Come on.
00:51:11Let's just go in there.
00:51:13But I just would like to, I'd like us to be okay before we go in.
00:51:17We're fine.
00:51:18We're fine.
00:51:19Yeah.
00:51:20Are you going to be honest about what's going on with you guys today to friends and family?
00:51:24Brutally honest.
00:51:26Lucinda's parents, Susan and Michael, are being joined by Timothy's close friends, Rachel and Brett, as part of family and friends week.
00:51:47I was really hopeful on the wedding day.
00:51:50Tim doesn't let people in easily at all.
00:51:54And Lucinda seems very deep, very connected.
00:51:57I thought maybe she's exactly what Tim needs and maybe Tim's exactly what she needs.
00:52:02And I thought they could hold a mirror up to each other and that he could soften a little bit.
00:52:06So I really can't wait to see how it's going.
00:52:09I'm a bit nervous.
00:52:10I'm waiting for them to come through that door.
00:52:12It's been a long wait.
00:52:13We hope their marriage is going along well.
00:52:15Yes, we do.
00:52:16We are wondering.
00:52:18We are wondering.
00:52:21Okay.
00:52:24Okay.
00:52:31Yeah, we want to hear what Lucinda's got to say, obviously.
00:52:33And Tim.
00:52:34Yeah, advice first.
00:52:35Yeah, 100%.
00:52:36Whoa.
00:52:37Hi.
00:52:38Hello.
00:52:39How are you?
00:52:40I'm so happy to see you.
00:52:43I can't believe how much you've helped me.
00:52:46It's so good.
00:52:48Long time no see, both of you.
00:52:50It's been a while, hasn't it?
00:52:52How are you doing?
00:52:53I love that suit.
00:52:54Well, I did orange for you.
00:52:55All right.
00:52:56That looks good.
00:53:00So I suppose we should get down to the nitty gritty.
00:53:02Let's do it.
00:53:03Shouldn't we?
00:53:04How are you two guys going?
00:53:05Tell us a few things.
00:53:06You start.
00:53:12We've had a bit of a rough drop this week.
00:53:14A little bit of a rough drop.
00:53:17So what's happened?
00:53:18What's made it rough?
00:53:20The commitment ceremony was my badge.
00:53:22Like in the commitment ceremony, I gave the good, the bad and the ugly, rather than celebrating
00:53:27the lovely little things that Tim was doing, is doing.
00:53:31Well, it wasn't so much that.
00:53:33It was, it was, we had a good couple of days and we were actually having a lot of fun.
00:53:39And then the experts said, is it going to move forward?
00:53:42And you said, am I wasting my time here?
00:53:46And then everyone seemed to jump on that comment and that bandwagon.
00:53:49So how did you feel about that?
00:53:51It pissed me off.
00:53:53Yep.
00:53:54I feel like I got into the spiral of the ceremony where they're asking you questions and I was
00:53:59in there, yeah, like, you know, and it was too much.
00:54:02I regret how I behaved.
00:54:05Well, at least you're honest.
00:54:07That's good.
00:54:08But maybe you had reasons to behave like that, didn't you?
00:54:11What has, I suppose, what has Tim done that, because we want to hear both sides of everything.
00:54:19We want to hear the truth.
00:54:20We want to get it out today.
00:54:21I suppose for me, it's managing my own expectations.
00:54:25I think Tim is a great bloke.
00:54:27I do have a bit of a crush on Tim.
00:54:31Definitely the first couple of weeks was very forward and forthright about that.
00:54:36And then it was sort of like, oh, he doesn't, you know, find me sexually attractive.
00:54:48So on the couch, I opened up and said, you know, I'll be honest, I don't feel assured.
00:54:56I just haven't felt celebrated or seen or that I'm beautiful or, you know, kind of like
00:55:02led.
00:55:07Honestly, have you tried to work on that sexual attraction?
00:55:17Yes.
00:55:18We were just having a good time with no expectation.
00:55:22And that's what I got so shitty about.
00:55:24We went out and had a couple of really good days.
00:55:26Like we went to shows and we did this and we're actually having a lot of fun.
00:55:31But then when we went to that CC, I just felt like all that good time was just thrown under
00:55:36the bus and everyone's having a dig at me.
00:55:41I felt I was blindsided.
00:55:43We went into that a certain way.
00:55:45And then what you came out with on the couch was a complete blindside.
00:55:49It pissed me off.
00:55:52When I was getting grilled at that CC, when that other idiot jumped in, you weren't there.
00:55:58You were quite happy to watch me get frigging just hammered.
00:56:01Why do you think she was happy?
00:56:03Well, because everyone was on your side.
00:56:11I could just see it in his eyes.
00:56:13I could just tell Tim was just angry.
00:56:18Obviously, I was pissed because everyone jumped on your bandwagon.
00:56:22If you really know Tim, he's got an exterior and he's got an ego and he's got pride.
00:56:27I'm just sort of thinking back at the situation and it's just...
00:56:32But she's apologised.
00:56:37I'll tell you what, if I had have known that's what she was going to go in there with,
00:56:41I would have gone, done.
00:56:45Finished.
00:56:46You've made your point?
00:56:47Yeah, pretty clear.
00:56:48Yeah?
00:56:49Yeah.
00:56:50He's very stubborn and sometimes he'll find fault and run away.
00:56:58Why do you think Tim is that way?
00:57:04Um, I think he's had a lot of trauma.
00:57:11And I think that's how he deals with it.
00:57:27Sorry.
00:57:33Sorry.
00:57:34I think he shuts down and I think he just, you know, he's got nowhere to direct his feelings.
00:57:42And I just think that he's just got a lot of demons because a lot of bad stuff's happened to him.
00:57:52Yeah.
00:57:53Yeah.
00:57:56Yeah.
00:57:57At the end of the day, it's been a gone, is it worth having a blue about it?
00:58:01No.
00:58:03You can see there's a lot of butt and heads here.
00:58:05Very much so.
00:58:06And it's not something to hang on to.
00:58:07Yeah, I agree.
00:58:08You've got to push it aside and be done with it.
00:58:10Let it go.
00:58:14Do you think you can move forward?
00:58:16Like, what are your honest...
00:58:17Yeah, where are you at with that?
00:58:18Yeah.
00:58:20Look, it's pretty shaky right now.
00:58:29I would say more out than in.
00:58:34Oh, Luke.
00:58:39Oh, Luke's...
00:58:40I know you're trying.
00:58:41You're such a...
00:58:42And you do love parts of him, don't you?
00:58:44Very much.
00:58:45I can see that.
00:58:49Yeah.
00:58:57My true thoughts on Tim is that I don't think he knows how to move on.
00:59:02I think he's stuck in the past.
00:59:05I think he's very stubborn.
00:59:08Sometimes I feel as though you maybe get pissed off a little bit too much.
00:59:11Ever since I've been here today, I hear the same thing going on
00:59:15about being pissed off and this and that and blah, blah, blah.
00:59:19Come on, Tim, we've heard about all that.
00:59:21You've got to... It's time to move on.
00:59:23He's a bit repetitive, I think, and a bit boring.
00:59:27He's got my lovely daughter there, and what have you done
00:59:31to, you know, zooz things up a bit?
00:59:34Following a disastrous start to their family and friends' lunch,
00:59:39with Timothy unable to move past the events of the last commitment ceremony,
00:59:45Lucinda's dad, Michael, has taken him aside for a chat.
00:59:51I know I'm a bit bastard to my beautiful daughter,
00:59:53but I think one of the most important things is respect for the other person.
00:59:57And I don't think you give a great deal of respect for Lucy.
01:00:04It's like she's...
01:00:06It's like she's got this beautiful little black beard,
01:00:08and I just don't like it.
01:00:10It's like, I don't like it.
01:00:12But I love her.
01:00:14But I'm not...
01:00:16I'm not...
01:00:18of respect for Lucy?
01:00:20No, I do respect her.
01:00:23I do.
01:00:24It's just, I get pissed off.
01:00:26Yeah, I mean, that's what we've been talking about
01:00:29ever since we've arrived.
01:00:30That's a cop-out, I'm sorry.
01:00:34Do you think it's time maybe not to get pissed off
01:00:36so easily?
01:00:37Change a few of your little habits?
01:00:41You can do it.
01:00:42It's a tough one.
01:00:44No, it's not, come on.
01:00:46It's a tough one.
01:00:47For me, it's a tough one.
01:00:48Wow, you are a brick, aren't you?
01:00:52You're a wall.
01:00:53You can't jump over that wall, can you?
01:00:55It's just a tough one.
01:00:59It's a hard wall, it's a brick, I can't, you know.
01:01:02It's boring.
01:01:05Yeah.
01:01:08You know, and I'm getting pissed off
01:01:10for listening about that, you know what I mean?
01:01:13From my point of view, you need to sort of
01:01:17not get your tits in a tangle, maybe sometimes,
01:01:21and put your finger out.
01:01:27He made me laugh, and when I laugh, I drop my walls.
01:01:31Yeah, there's a little bit of key information for you.
01:01:36I do like your advice.
01:01:37I sometimes can hold a grudge.
01:01:40Don't.
01:01:40I want Lucy to be happy.
01:01:42I know she's not happy at the moment,
01:01:44and because she's trying, in her way, so hard,
01:01:47and I don't know whether you are or not, you know?
01:01:54You know there's a time frame on this show.
01:01:55Yeah, and that's why.
01:01:56You know, and you can't keep lingering, can you?
01:02:00You know what I mean?
01:02:01No, you can't, and I get it.
01:02:04What, four or five weeks
01:02:05since you've been in this relationship.
01:02:07So hey, you know, come on.
01:02:09You've got a lovely lady that's attracted to you,
01:02:13and you need to maybe try a little bit harder.
01:02:22Yeah, he thinks I'm not stacking up,
01:02:25and it's tough to hear.
01:02:26It's really tough to hear.
01:02:28I know I'm not easy.
01:02:30I do feel that she could have got somebody easier.
01:02:34I guess the difference between you and Lucinda right now
01:02:38is that she's got quite an open heart,
01:02:40whereas you're very guarded and defensive.
01:02:44100%, yeah, you're completely right.
01:02:48She looks for the good in people,
01:02:51and she looks for the good in every situation.
01:02:54I look for the negative.
01:02:56I've got walls up everywhere.
01:02:58I've got more baggage than Qantas.
01:03:00Could you possibly find anyone better equipped
01:03:05at dealing with the baggage that you carry?
01:03:10No, you actually couldn't.
01:03:18I know.
01:03:20It takes a special sort of person
01:03:22that wants to be with me,
01:03:24so I know how special she is.
01:03:27Yeah.
01:03:29Look, I'm not perfect, I know that, but-
01:03:31No one's perfect.
01:03:33We've all got our failings,
01:03:35but are you going to try with Lucinda?
01:03:40I'm gonna have a chat with her this afternoon.
01:03:42A nice chat, no being pissed off?
01:03:44No. Good.
01:03:45I'm gonna have a chat.
01:03:47Good. Deal.
01:03:48Please, I'd like that.
01:03:51And hey, it's not for me to tell you what to do,
01:03:53but we'd love to see a little bit more
01:03:55sort of action on your behalf.
01:03:57Yeah.
01:03:58Could be a one-night stand or could be anything,
01:04:00but just try it.
01:04:03Did I miss hearing you say,
01:04:04you need to have a one-night stand with my daughter?
01:04:06Yes, I do.
01:04:13Well, you should.
01:04:14Great advice for a father to give to a potential whatever.
01:04:19I mean, where do you go with that?
01:04:21Like, where do you go?
01:04:23To my beautiful daughter.
01:04:25There.
01:04:26I'll cheers to that.
01:04:27You cheers to that, look her in the eye,
01:04:28she is beautiful, you know that.
01:04:29I really feel as though I had a good talk to him.
01:04:32I think there is a certain amount of love there,
01:04:35I really do.
01:04:35She is a beautiful girl, there's no question.
01:04:38Yeah.
01:04:39He's quite a pleasant sort of a guy,
01:04:40but he's gotta make a go of it, or try, at least try.
01:04:44And I hope he does.
01:04:49Hey boys.
01:04:50How'd we go?
01:04:52It was a good chat.
01:04:53It was a good chat.
01:04:55The chat with Michael has made me realize
01:04:58that I've been a bit of a dickhead.
01:05:01Hopefully we've come to some new happy conclusions.
01:05:03Nice.
01:05:04That's good.
01:05:05Onward and upwards.
01:05:06Yeah, that's good.
01:05:08I can tell you've softened a little bit.
01:05:10Yeah.
01:05:11Listen, it deserves more.
01:05:13I need to let go of the anger.
01:05:15Just let it go and move on.
01:05:17I think it's a reset, and yeah, and I'm,
01:05:21yeah, I'm sorry, Tim.
01:05:24Look, I can get pissy, I know that.
01:05:26We're not gonna use, do that anymore, remember?
01:05:29And.
01:05:31What?
01:05:31Lucinda said some big words just then.
01:05:33What's that?
01:05:34She said, I'm sorry.
01:05:35Oh.
01:05:36I'm genuinely sorry.
01:05:38And I know that, I know.
01:05:40Yeah.
01:05:43I thought my dad was gonna, you know,
01:05:46get up on the grill.
01:05:47I was like, oh my God, where is this going?
01:05:49But actually, in the end, it turned out okay.
01:05:53He can definitely soften you up.
01:05:54Yeah, he's good.
01:05:56So we'd like to make a toast to the happy couple.
01:05:59Cheers, yeah.
01:06:01Happy couple.
01:06:02Happy couple.
01:06:03Cheers.
01:06:03It's beautiful.
01:06:04Tim is a hard egg to crack.
01:06:07But I do think he's worth it.
01:06:13I've still got more in me.
01:06:17Yeah, I'm not ready to give it up yet.
01:06:25Tomorrow night.
01:06:26Maudie!
01:06:28Cassandra's dad, Maudie, is back.
01:06:31Love, love, Maudie.
01:06:33As family and friends week continues.
01:06:35Obviously I want all the goss, the drama, the tea.
01:06:40But will Tim's friend.
01:06:41Are you feeling the tension?
01:06:43Do you need to relax?
01:06:45Undo all of Sarah and Tim's recent progress.
01:06:49Without you.
01:06:50Without me.
01:06:51Without me.
01:06:54And.
01:06:55Welcome back.
01:06:56Ben's shock return.
01:06:58I've been on a way.
01:07:01But can he sing his way into Ellie's heart?
01:07:05I'm not sharing this place with you tonight.
01:07:08He's just wasted my time.
01:07:09Before.
01:07:11Never had an issue.
01:07:12And you shouldn't.
01:07:12And I shouldn't.
01:07:13And I've never had an issue with it.
01:07:14I'll be right back to zero again.
01:07:16A dramatic turn for one of the experiment's
01:07:19strongest couples.
01:07:21Can their loved ones get them back on track?
01:07:25I don't understand what's going on.
01:07:26Or is it too little, too late?
01:07:29Annie's not into me at all anymore.
01:07:34Pa.
