00:00:00Look at this gorgeous creature.
00:00:04Five weeks ago.
00:00:06I'm in awe.
00:00:07He is perfect.
00:00:08Singles from across the country took the ultimate romantic leap of faith.
00:00:13Experts have rocked it.
00:00:15I feel like this could be it.
00:00:18To say I've been fake, I don't know how that could be.
00:00:23And following the last commitment ceremony.
00:00:25I don't even know where he is.
00:00:27Ben disappeared for 24 hours.
00:00:29I'm not sharing this place with you tonight.
00:00:31Only to return with a list of things he didn't like about his wife.
00:00:36He didn't like that I applied makeup.
00:00:38He didn't like that I was sensitive or emotional.
00:00:41Morning!
00:00:44A catch up with family and friends led to major breakthroughs for some of our couples.
00:00:49Focus on the good things.
00:00:52It's boring.
00:00:53You need to not get your tits in a tangle and put your finger out.
00:00:57I do like your advice.
00:00:58It could be a one night stand, but just try it.
00:01:03Well he should.
00:01:04But for Jack.
00:01:06Put a muzzle on it.
00:01:08I mean it's not the 1950s.
00:01:09He was left feeling the pressure from Tory's best friend Leah.
00:01:14He apologised, hoped it was genuine.
00:01:16But I highly doubt that.
00:01:18And a fiery dinner party.
00:01:20You've always been the grandstander.
00:01:24Led to a brutal public breakup.
00:01:27I do believe we're better off friends.
00:01:32What?
00:01:33He's just broken up with her in front of the whole table.
00:01:38Tonight, at the commitment ceremony.
00:01:41Sorry.
00:01:43It's a side to Sarah.
00:01:45Sometimes that is a lot for some people, so.
00:01:47We've never seen before.
00:01:50On a scale of 1 to 10.
00:01:5110 being you are absolutely in love.
00:01:539.5.
00:01:55As romantic connections deepen for some.
00:01:58All I can do is give it my best.
00:02:00And she's 100% worth trying and changing for.
00:02:02She does it for me in every single way.
00:02:04And I can see a future with her outside of this.
00:02:07For others, the spark is fading.
00:02:10Are you physically attracted to Michael?
00:02:17And.
00:02:18In what world, when I say to you.
00:02:20Do everything you can to win her back.
00:02:22Would you think it's a good idea to give her a list of the things you hate about her?
00:02:25Ben faces intense pressure from the experts.
00:02:29I've sat here hearing this same old script come out of your mouth.
00:02:33Possibly it's an unconscious thing or.
00:02:35Stop it.
00:02:38But it's Jack's confession.
00:02:40Is this a case where Tori is into you a lot more than you're into Tori?
00:02:46Um.
00:02:48That will leave everyone speechless.
00:02:52We've never heard you talk like this on the couch.
00:02:54If you want to go, like go now.
00:02:57Boom.
00:03:13I'll get up, I'll get up.
00:03:15I've got to fix this.
00:03:19It's the morning of the fourth commitment ceremony.
00:03:23How's the gym, darling?
00:03:24Good.
00:03:25Good sesh?
00:03:26Yeah.
00:03:27Good sesh after a big night?
00:03:29Yeah, I know.
00:03:30Needed it this morning.
00:03:32Eden's bowl of tuna and rice.
00:03:35It's stuck together like rock because it hasn't been rinsed out.
00:03:37Um, your pan still has egg on it from yesterday.
00:03:40So don't you be coming at me.
00:03:45Michael and Stephen are just beginning to get into the groove of domestic duties.
00:03:52You know, I used to be a barista back in the day.
00:03:55Wonder if I still got it.
00:03:58What a week that we've actually had.
00:03:59So we've moved in, we've had confessions, which, wow.
00:04:05I've experienced a man who is supposed to love his family unconditionally up and leave.
00:04:15For so many years, I have watched my family put themselves in vulnerable positions only to be disappointed and let down.
00:04:23So slowly, over time, it became heaps easier to just shut off.
00:04:29My dad cheated on my mum when we were kids.
00:04:32I didn't realise that you really had that much weight on you.
00:04:35My part as a partner to carry that with you.
00:04:39I just want to give you a big hug right now.
00:04:40Yeah, really.
00:04:41Brilliant.
00:04:43We really got a lot out of Stephen there and to see that wall come down was actually really rewarding.
00:04:49We get a match today.
00:04:51It feels great to be into our apartment and just feel at home and at ease.
00:04:56I'm really enjoying this company.
00:04:59So it's promising.
00:05:00What do you reckon this is for?
00:05:02Oh.
00:05:03Decorations.
00:05:04I thought it was a longer train.
00:05:05Decorations.
00:05:06Lock you down.
00:05:08We're in our new house.
00:05:09I feel like I've been getting to know him.
00:05:11For us to become comfortable with each other.
00:05:14Look, we've got little pencils and a notepad I can write down every time you annoy me.
00:05:19All I've been doing this week is every day checking in with myself and just trying to figure out my feelings.
00:05:25Which bird do you want to be?
00:05:26I have no idea.
00:05:28But so far, living with Michael, I'm struggling.
00:05:33How are you visualising?
00:05:35At the moment, I'm not feeling comfortable at all.
00:05:37More plants.
00:05:39And I think we'll be good.
00:05:40Yep.
00:05:41Definitely.
00:05:43I think Michael's a lot more feminine than what I'm typically attracted to.
00:05:48A vase, we can get some more flowers to put in that.
00:05:51So that's, I think, really, really growing that seed of doubt.
00:05:57Now go make me some food.
00:05:59I'm just kidding.
00:06:01That's a joke, sorry.
00:06:02That's a joke, sorry.
00:06:03That's, like, humour.
00:06:04See?
00:06:07Even playing along with those jokes feels unorganic and forced.
00:06:12Yeah.
00:06:14Yeah.
00:06:16Should we fist bump?
00:06:22I mean, I might knock you over.
00:06:24I'm, like, 15 kilos heavier than you.
00:06:27It's going pretty shit.
00:06:33After last night's intense dinner party...
00:06:36We're talking about last night, anyway.
00:06:38...Jayden is still reeling from the fight between him and Timothy.
00:06:43Deep down in your heart, Tim, you don't see a future with Lucinda,
00:06:45but you keep saying stay, you're giving her hope, and we don't know why.
00:06:49This relationship is the same as it was on the first date.
00:06:51We're six weeks in.
00:06:52You know what, that's your opinion.
00:06:53You're 27, you've got nothing to say to me.
00:06:55At 27, my relationship is near perfect, so maybe.
00:06:58Call me in three years.
00:06:59Call me in three years.
00:07:02I just feel like Timothy was just big deflecting.
00:07:06He's clutching at straws.
00:07:08All he could bring up was digs at your personality.
00:07:10Every time we did, everyone else shut him down.
00:07:12He doesn't like the fact that maybe my relationship is going very well,
00:07:15and his isn't, he doesn't want to take advice from me.
00:07:17That's understandable, but at the end of the day,
00:07:20all I wanted from him was an answer
00:07:22as to whether or not he sees a romantic future with Lucinda.
00:07:25I like Lucinda, she's a great girl, you know?
00:07:27I don't think she deserves to be let on.
00:07:29Tim's comment about how he thinks
00:07:31that we're not going to last outside the experiment,
00:07:33he's like, give it three years.
00:07:34I'm like, I'd love three years, man, it's three years longer than you.
00:07:37You know what I mean?
00:07:39While the dinner party has created rifts,
00:07:42Lucinda's show of support for her husband Timothy
00:07:46has united the couple.
00:07:48You want a cuppa?
00:07:49Yeah, I do, actually.
00:07:50OK, great.
00:07:51Wow, what a night.
00:07:54I do feel we've shifted energy somewhat.
00:07:58Less combative and more, you know, a team in unity.
00:08:04I will give you props.
00:08:06I really appreciated last night.
00:08:08You actually were really awesome.
00:08:10Oh.
00:08:11You were rock solid.
00:08:13Yeah, you were really, really good.
00:08:15I would just like to say, and I mean this with all my heart,
00:08:19Tim is an awesome person.
00:08:21Yeah, we've heard it, we've heard it.
00:08:22One minute, I haven't finished.
00:08:24It was a bit of a rally up,
00:08:26and I was feeling quite defensive of Tim, to be honest.
00:08:30I want us to be, you know, having each other's back
00:08:35and on the same team.
00:08:37Of course we are.
00:08:39This is my focus.
00:08:41To make it work, to explore a possibility
00:08:45with this gorgeous man that I've been matched with.
00:08:48I've got nothing but praise for you.
00:08:52I feel very defensive of you, actually.
00:08:55Yeah.
00:08:56But I say this from a place just because I care about you.
00:09:00I just think you could leave the personal comments out.
00:09:05I very much appreciate Lucinda at the moment.
00:09:08You know, my biggest thing has been loyalty and trust.
00:09:11And look, I'm not exactly easy.
00:09:14I could see that I'd hurt her by my comments,
00:09:17and I need to just hit the reset button.
00:09:20I am here to change some of those things
00:09:22because she's a solid girl.
00:09:24I'm willing to give it a go.
00:09:27Yeah, it's just everyone loves me.
00:09:29That's the problem.
00:09:31Everyone just wants to talk to me.
00:09:37The countdown is on to tonight's fourth commitment ceremony...
00:09:42..where couples will decide if they stay or leave.
00:09:50The couples are busy getting ready.
00:09:53I feel gorgeous, by the way. You look good too.
00:09:55I know.
00:09:56Some are feeling positive.
00:09:58Some are not.
00:10:04And for Jack, he's been anxious going into the commitment ceremony
00:10:09after meeting Tori's friend Leah,
00:10:11who made it clear how committed Tori has become
00:10:14to her relationship with Jack.
00:10:17I don't know, you definitely seem...
00:10:19I don't even know what the right adjective is.
00:10:21Like, softer?
00:10:23I don't know how to explain that.
00:10:25But, like, you just seem so, like, relaxed.
00:10:30We're just, like, in a really, like...
00:10:33It's like a sweet spot, for sure.
00:10:35I feel like I'm the only person that, like, knows the real Tori.
00:10:38Yeah.
00:10:39And I feel like you're getting a glimpse of it,
00:10:41which obviously means she trusts you.
00:10:44Mmm.
00:10:46I think meeting Leah opened my eyes a little bit.
00:10:49Realising that Tori is well invested in the relationship emotionally,
00:10:53that put a bit of pressure on me.
00:10:56Could be a long night.
00:10:58Yeah, it could be, or it could be really short.
00:11:01We're over halfway now.
00:11:03I have been thinking hard and deep
00:11:05about where we're going to go each week leading forward.
00:11:08I don't know, I just, like, expect the unexpected.
00:11:12You never know how these things are going to turn out.
00:11:15I'm starting to feel a sense of responsibility for, you know,
00:11:19making sure the relationship works.
00:11:21I definitely feel like the seat will get hot
00:11:24when we're chatting with the experts,
00:11:26but I don't feel like there'll be too many people.
00:11:28About what?
00:11:29I don't know, but I'm ready for a hot seat.
00:11:32I'll admit I'm getting nervous in our relationship.
00:11:36I'm confident I know what you're going to say,
00:11:38so just stick to that, please.
00:11:40No blindsiding.
00:11:41You're confident you know what I'm going to say?
00:11:43Yep.
00:11:44What I'm going to say.
00:11:45See?
00:11:47She's showed me pictures of her future and her house
00:11:50and what she wants.
00:11:52So if I turn around and wasn't that guy for her...
00:11:58..she'd be pissed.
00:12:00And, yeah, probably wish she didn't come on the experiment,
00:12:03to be honest.
00:12:11HE SIGHS
00:12:18Greetings, gentlemen.
00:12:20Come and grab a seat.
00:12:34Hello, ladies.
00:12:36Hi. Hi, ladies.
00:12:38Welcome. Welcome.
00:12:52Well, welcome, everyone, to your fourth commitment ceremony.
00:12:58Now, it's been a big week.
00:13:00For those original couples, you've met the family and friends.
00:13:04And for our new couples,
00:13:06you've had a crash course in everything about this experiment.
00:13:10So you have so much to share with us tonight,
00:13:12and we cannot wait to catch up with each and every one of you.
00:13:18Let's get our first couple on the couch tonight.
00:13:24Ali and Ben.
00:13:25Hey, good luck, guys.
00:13:29I'm just nervous.
00:13:34Hi, guys. Hi. Hello.
00:13:37Well...
00:13:39..as you know, we watch the dinner parties very closely.
00:13:44And it's very clear that things have fallen apart with you guys.
00:13:50Ali, what's happened?
00:13:52Well, last week on the couch, I wrote leave.
00:13:56And effectively, John said Ben has seven days
00:14:00to try and turn it around, cos Ben wrote stay.
00:14:03He did?
00:14:04The day after, Ben actually ran away from Sky Suites.
00:14:10We couldn't find him.
00:14:13A few days after that, we decided to have a chat about our relationship,
00:14:17which lasted two and a half hours.
00:14:19And what I got out of that was a list of stuff
00:14:23that he didn't like about me.
00:14:26He didn't like the fact that I was wearing make-up.
00:14:29He said that I was too emotional and too sensitive.
00:14:33He doesn't like that I'm from the Gold Coast.
00:14:36There was poor communication and bad conversation.
00:14:40Wow.
00:14:44I'm just getting confused, mixed messages.
00:14:47You know, the gift-giving and writing songs.
00:14:52I've been trying to explain to the group how I'm feeling,
00:14:55but they probably don't get it,
00:14:57because what Ben's telling them is all kindness and positivity,
00:15:00but you're not seeing what I've been experiencing.
00:15:03We see it.
00:15:05Thank you. I'm not trying to run him into the ground.
00:15:07No.
00:15:08But I am speaking my truth, and I absolutely need to call this out.
00:15:14There you go, girlfriend.
00:15:16I feel like I've been going crazy.
00:15:20That feeling that you're describing, of am I going crazy,
00:15:24is the very definition of being gaslit.
00:15:27Yeah.
00:15:33That's what's going on here.
00:15:36You're not going crazy, and what you're feeling is completely valid.
00:15:46Particularly the confusion.
00:15:48Yeah.
00:15:49And the questioning yourself.
00:15:52Ben, what I really want to know is,
00:15:57how do you feel towards Ellie?
00:16:01Here we go.
00:16:05I think she's terrific.
00:16:08I've never stopped thinking that.
00:16:12Every time.
00:16:13Oh, no, I just, I don't know what to believe anymore.
00:16:16I know, and that's what I mean.
00:16:17Well, then, Ben, you've got to explain that to us.
00:16:21Okay.
00:16:27The connection, I guess, hasn't been as strong as I hoped.
00:16:32What?
00:16:35Ben, you gave her a gift two days ago,
00:16:38trying to ask to be, like, in the relationship again,
00:16:41and then at the dinner table you told all of us that you see her as a friend.
00:16:45Come on, mate, make up your mind.
00:16:47Do you like her or do you not?
00:16:49Yeah, do you see how confused I've been?
00:16:50No, it's f***ing confusing.
00:16:53Like, it was amazing the first few weeks.
00:16:57I was so happy.
00:16:58I remember saying that, like, just feeling happy.
00:17:00Ben, are you listening to yourself?
00:17:04Come on.
00:17:05I know, I'm doing my best, John.
00:17:09We looked high and low for an ideal match for you.
00:17:14We got you one, and you dropped the ball.
00:17:20I guess so.
00:17:24Possibly it's an unconscious thing, or if it's not, I wouldn't be deliberate.
00:17:30Ben, I don't want to hear, I guess I might have done this.
00:17:36Subconsciously, maybe it was that.
00:17:40Stop it.
00:17:42You need to start owning your behaviour.
00:17:52Let me ask you this.
00:17:53In what world, when I say to you, do everything you can to win her back
00:17:58and increase her trust, would you think it's a good idea
00:18:01to give her a list of the things you hate about her?
00:18:12Ben, let me ask you this.
00:18:14In what world, when I say to you, do everything you can to win her back
00:18:19and increase her trust, would you think it's a good idea
00:18:22to give her a list of the things you hate about her?
00:18:31That was a journal of thoughts I had compiled for a while.
00:18:36That was a journal of thoughts I had compiled for a while.
00:18:42Why would you even show that to her?
00:18:46I like you, but here's the things that I really hate.
00:18:50I know that you are an incredible woman, I still believe that, always have.
00:18:54I've never lost sight of that, but it seems no matter what I do,
00:18:59it's just, I don't know what to do.
00:19:01No, no, no.
00:19:05Ben, I'm not letting you get away with that.
00:19:09No, you've got to own it.
00:19:12What do you think your behaviour's done to Ellie over the last five weeks?
00:19:17How do you think it makes her feel on the inside?
00:19:21Oh, um...
00:19:25I'll answer, it destroys my self-esteem.
00:19:29I slept with you, you know what I mean?
00:19:32And you told me you felt so, like, so good about me.
00:19:35So, it makes me feel so shit about myself.
00:19:42Ben, you're sitting there, deadpan, with no emotion.
00:19:47It's because I'm so sick of her.
00:19:50I don't know if you're happy, sad, embarrassed,
00:19:55excited to get out of here, want to stay.
00:19:59It's like there's this flat facade that you put up.
00:20:07Your partner has just told you how belittled she feels about all of this.
00:20:15Is this generally the way in which you receive information like this?
00:20:23I'm lost for words.
00:20:26I don't know what to say.
00:20:28What about showing some emotion towards Ellie and how bad you feel, mate?
00:20:33That wouldn't be a bad thing.
00:20:42You've ruined the experience for me because I came here genuinely.
00:20:46Like, everyone knows that I just, I want to start a family
00:20:49and I want a husband to do that with.
00:20:52And, you know, I've been robbed of that experience.
00:20:55I can understand.
00:20:57No, I don't think you do.
00:20:59You say a lot of words, Ben, but you don't actually know the meaning of them.
00:21:04I don't think you understand.
00:21:06I've sat here for weeks on end hearing this same old script come out of your mouth.
00:21:14You have not been committed to this experiment.
00:21:17You have not tried to give yourself over to the process.
00:21:22What you've done is sidestepped hard questions,
00:21:27had conversations behind closed doors and tried to present a fake self.
00:21:35What we do know for a fact is the way you've treated her
00:21:40has absolutely picked apart her self-esteem.
00:21:45And I don't like seeing that toxic pattern go on.
00:21:49That toxic pattern go on week after week.
00:21:55Frankly, I'm done.
00:22:01Let's get to the decision.
00:22:03Ellie, what have you got? Stay or leave?
00:22:06I'm going to take my new voice and walk out of here with confidence and I'm leaving.
00:22:17Alright, Ben, what have you got?
00:22:20Leave.
00:22:27Now, Ben,
00:22:32what you've done during your time here is played a game with us.
00:22:38And particularly, you've played with Ellie's feelings.
00:22:43I hope what you can say is I've been given some home truths
00:22:51and I'm going to do something different now.
00:22:55And I hope that you do,
00:22:59because this is a one-off opportunity for you and you need to learn.
00:23:06And finally, we as the experts want to thank you, Ellie,
00:23:10because you came in with an open heart, you're looking for love,
00:23:15and you've got a great deal going for you.
00:23:19Thank you very much. I appreciate it.
00:23:23Alright, well done.
00:23:25Thank you. Thanks for that.
00:23:27You won't be single for long.
00:23:29Off you go, guys.
00:23:35I don't have any regrets about coming onto this show.
00:23:38I don't have any regrets about coming onto the experiment.
00:23:41I've walked away with this newfound confidence, I've got my voice back.
00:23:45I didn't get the husband that I came for, but that's okay.
00:23:49Apparently, my DMs will be blowing up according to a few people.
00:23:57I want a future with someone. I hope it's going to be with Jade.
00:24:03On a scale of one to ten, and ten being you are absolutely in love.
00:24:07Nine point five.
00:24:10Before...
00:24:12Where's the intimacy, man? Like, you're not trying, and I said that to Andy.
00:24:15Richard drops an almighty bombshell.
00:24:18I've been in a relationship for five weeks with somebody who has no feelings for me.
00:24:22And...
00:24:24Is Tori into you a lot more than you're into Tori?
00:24:29Jack feels the pressure.
00:24:32I do have concerns that I'm going to let you down.
00:24:36But...
00:24:44Next up on the couch...
00:24:49Jaden and Eden.
00:24:54Who has the better hair tonight?
00:24:59Eden, tell us about this week for you guys.
00:25:02It's been nice.
00:25:04But we are having a little bit of a debate about the family meet-up, though.
00:25:08Okay.
00:25:10So Mitch was there as well. He's Jaden's brother. I'm sure you all know Mitch.
00:25:13I remember Mitch.
00:25:15And Mitch said to me, on a scale of one to ten, one being you can't stand him,
00:25:21and ten being you are absolutely in love, whereabouts are you on the scale?
00:25:25And I said I'm a seven.
00:25:28What did you say?
00:25:30Well, I said...
00:25:329.5.
00:25:38Eden...
00:25:40Do you think that you will be able to get to a 9.5?
00:25:44I do. I have a lot of hope and a lot of...
00:25:47Sweet.
00:25:51There are things that I think that we still need to grow and build
00:25:55in order for me to get to where Jaden says he already is.
00:25:59There's quantity of time, like we're together a lot of the time,
00:26:02but not often is it just quality time.
00:26:05When we are there with each other and talking, that's when it grows for me.
00:26:10Jaden, what she's saying to you is that she misses you and needs you more.
00:26:14Oh, that's so sweet.
00:26:16I do actually say that every time he walks out, I say I miss you.
00:26:19That's true.
00:26:21Alright, so let's go to the decision, you guys.
00:26:24Alright, obviously stay.
00:26:26You've been hard.
00:26:27Yeah.
00:26:29Eden.
00:26:31So I wrote stay as well.
00:26:33With four hearts.
00:26:35Have a great week, you guys.
00:26:37Thank you so much.
00:26:39Well done, guys.
00:26:41Let's get our next couple up.
00:26:43Tristan and Cass.
00:26:48Last week, at the end of your couch session,
00:26:52Cass, you wrote stay and Tristan, you wrote leave.
00:26:55I did.
00:26:57You guys had to really think about what you were going to do and then change it up.
00:27:01Tristan, the last words on this couch was like, I'll make it up to you.
00:27:06And he certainly did.
00:27:09Had a really lovely meet the parents with Tristan's mother and my father.
00:27:14And I said it was a green flag, like he really impressed me.
00:27:18He was confident, he was honest, he was kind.
00:27:21My dad and Tristan were laughing non-stop.
00:27:23I was like, Dad, who did you come to see?
00:27:26Me or Tristan?
00:27:29He tried so hard to make it up to me and he did.
00:27:36All I can do is give it my best.
00:27:38And she's 100% worth trying and changing for.
00:27:41Alright, let's go to the decision.
00:27:43We're going to go with you first, Tristan.
00:27:46I thought there was going to be a bit more of a build up, but I'm terrible at hiding secrets.
00:27:49So at the end of the day, I did write stay.
00:27:51I wrote stay.
00:27:56Kat, what are you going to do, stay or leave?
00:27:58Leave?
00:28:00Let's build this connection further, so I wrote stay.
00:28:07We'll start off with another kiss, come on.
00:28:10There we go.
00:28:12Well done, both of you.
00:28:15Let's get our next couple up.
00:28:18Jade and Richard.
00:28:22Thank you so much.
00:28:24G'day, g'day.
00:28:28Now, you did the crash course this week to catch up with the rest of the group here.
00:28:33How did that go?
00:28:36The confessions letter, like, caught me off guard.
00:28:40Why did the letter catch you off guard?
00:28:42I don't know, I guess, like, it's just hard for me to open up.
00:28:46And, like, I know I'm just, like, in my own head.
00:28:49Because I feel like I have opened up before, and I've just been let down.
00:28:53And, yeah.
00:28:57Is that where this all comes from?
00:28:59The fact that guys have betrayed you in the past, and you can't be sure of yourself now?
00:29:04In the past, I've always competed with other girls, and I've always lost.
00:29:08So then, like, it makes me, like, doubt myself.
00:29:14Rich, what do you make of this?
00:29:15You know, when you hear her, you know, let the walls down, let you in, what do you think?
00:29:21Obviously, I appreciate that she is letting her walls down with me.
00:29:24Obviously, it's not easy for her to do that, given what she's been through.
00:29:28I know she's had a really, really rough time in terms of her previous partners.
00:29:33But I want a future with someone.
00:29:36I hope it's going to be with Jade.
00:29:38She does it for me in every single way.
00:29:41I admire how grounded and strong she is.
00:29:43She's such a good mum.
00:29:45She's such a good friend.
00:29:47She's actually a good person.
00:29:49And I can see a future with her outside of this.
00:29:54Jade, what do you think about it?
00:29:57It makes me happy.
00:30:01Rich's response to my letter is honestly what made me think, like, he's actually being genuine.
00:30:07He got really heartfelt, which was, like, really nice to see.
00:30:10Chemistry felt, you two.
00:30:12It's palpable.
00:30:14Your energy together.
00:30:16Thanks.
00:30:19Alright, with that being said, let's go to the decision.
00:30:23Easy stay.
00:30:25Easy stay. Good.
00:30:30And what about you, Jade?
00:30:32Stay.
00:30:33Great stuff.
00:30:34Yeah.
00:30:36Great stuff.
00:30:40And with that, you can go back to the group.
00:30:47The next couple up on the couch.
00:30:51Andrea and Richard.
00:30:57I forgot to bow.
00:31:00Hello.
00:31:02Hi.
00:31:04Last week, the two of you seemed quite different from what we had experienced earlier in the experiment.
00:31:11How are you doing this week?
00:31:13We had the worst week.
00:31:17We ended up having a fight, our first fight.
00:31:22What precipitated the fight?
00:31:25After the last commitment ceremony, after dinner, I went into the other room and was on the phone to my family, and I shut the door.
00:31:37I was probably about an hour in that room.
00:31:40The next morning, Rich was not happy with me.
00:31:46He explained that he was offended that I went into the room and shut the door, so we butted heads.
00:31:54The fight was that I fell and he wasn't trying.
00:31:59Because she closed the door?
00:32:01No, no, no, because there was no shift since the last time we sat on the couch.
00:32:08We started off very physical, and then there was a pullback on it.
00:32:12Intimacy fell off, when's it going to come back?
00:32:16And this has been going on for weeks.
00:32:18I mean, this is not just something I just felt like that.
00:32:20And I'm like, where's the intimacy, man? Like, you're not trying, and I said that to Andy.
00:32:25That really upset her, because she said, damn, I am trying, but it's telling the story of our relationship.
00:32:36There seems to be a need that you have for Andrea to actively be validating your love language, so that then you can understand that she is into you.
00:32:49The insecurity comes from that I've been in a relationship for five weeks with somebody who has no feelings for me, and I have feelings for her.
00:33:05Richard, there seems to be a need that you have for Andrea to actively be validating your love language, so that then you can understand that she is into you.
00:33:18Richard, there seems to be a need that you have for Andrea to actively be validating your love language, so that then you can understand that she is into you.
00:33:37The insecurity comes from that I've been in a relationship for five weeks with somebody who has no feelings for me, and I have feelings for her.
00:33:48You know, and of course there's an insecurity about that. There's a whole lot of insecurities that come with that.
00:34:00I'm processing the part where you're stating that Andrea has no feelings for you. That, I'm actually quite shocked.
00:34:10That hasn't been my impression. I don't think that's been what Andrea has expressed.
00:34:18So, is that how you feel? Is that your interpretation?
00:34:21No, no, no. That was something that was actually expressed by Andrea to me last week.
00:34:26I don't have the feelings for you.
00:34:30That's what she said.
00:34:34I meant, I'm not feeling the intimacy.
00:34:39Yeah, I know that.
00:34:40Like, I'm not feeling us in you.
00:34:41Oh, yeah, yeah. No, no, no. I get that, yeah. I get that.
00:34:43So, your interpretation of her saying, I'm not feeling it, is I have no feelings for you.
00:34:48In like, my words.
00:34:49I just want to clarify the words, because those were very strong, important, potent words, and you just expressed them out loud to all of us.
00:34:59Of course, Andrea is hearing that, and that is something that she takes with her and is also going to play in her whole process.
00:35:06Yeah.
00:35:08Andrea, how are you feeling towards Richard?
00:35:14Now?
00:35:15Yes.
00:35:18I'm…
00:35:20Because I'm seeing a completely different person, completely different version of you than we saw at the beginning of the experiment, in terms of the way you relate to Richard.
00:35:31You were giddy. You were excited.
00:35:34There was a sense of hope and just illusion met.
00:35:38Yeah, I'm not that anymore.
00:35:43I feel different now because my bubble has been burst a few times, and I just feel a bit flatter.
00:35:51The photo challenge not being the one he liked the most, and the recent one with me trying, trying and not being seen and still fighting and not resolving it and going, how can you not see?
00:36:07But I'm still here and I still like him, so…
00:36:14What do you need from Richard?
00:36:17Validation.
00:36:21And acknowledgement.
00:36:25What do you say to that, Richard?
00:36:31100%.
00:36:34I've always been confident that this relationship has the potential to go long term.
00:36:39I'm in or I'm not in. I'm not a half, kind of on the fence guy, you know? I'm in.
00:36:47Let's go to the decision, you guys. Let's start with Richard.
00:36:52So my decision is stay, of course. I'm still one.
00:36:59Very big, bold statement. We like it.
00:37:02Big, bold statement, smiley face and a kiss.
00:37:04My flame of possibility for us is still there, and I wanted to…
00:37:08And I wanted to…
00:37:14Flame brighter.
00:37:16You're so sexy, my husband.
00:37:20I'm an old guy, man.
00:37:22You take his breath away, Andy.
00:37:26Andrea, let's go to your decision.
00:37:29As Rihanna said, want you to stay.
00:37:32Oh, God.
00:37:35I'll say this to you guys. Focus on the progression. Focus on your intent.
00:37:40And that confidence that you both have that this relation can go for the long haul and really be what you're looking for.
00:37:47Have a great week.
00:37:49Thank you very much.
00:37:52When my bubbles get burst, it's devastating.
00:37:56But I think we're both in a really good place of some realisations and understanding each other's communication style, and that helps moving forward.
00:38:08Let's get our next couple up on the couch.
00:38:11Lucinda and Timothy.
00:38:17Hello.
00:38:19How are we?
00:38:21Well, this is a very different couple to the one we're quite used to.
00:38:25Isn't it?
00:38:27And you were a real team last night.
00:38:29We were.
00:38:32Tim, I've got to be honest with you.
00:38:35It's quite clear for us observing you within this group dynamic, particularly at the dinner parties, that there's a number of people here who have an issue with you.
00:38:46And the relationship that the two of you have.
00:38:51Why do you think that is?
00:38:53I don't know.
00:38:55You know, it's an opinion.
00:38:57I just, you know, they tell it like it is, I tell it like it is, and it doesn't line up sometimes.
00:39:02And in regards to a relationship, it does take me a little bit to warm up to a genuine relationship.
00:39:11So, the slow burn thing.
00:39:15But, you know, the whole slow burning thing is getting old.
00:39:18Like, when does the progress start?
00:39:21Because for us, it doesn't seem like anything has started since day one.
00:39:25No, because you're 27, so you don't know the progress.
00:39:29That's what I'm saying.
00:39:31Well, we're supposed to know the progress, that's why we're all here.
00:39:33It's up with the personal deeds.
00:39:35So, you don't know what's going on?
00:39:37We don't, because you don't tell us anything.
00:39:39We need to know.
00:39:40You know, Jayden, we've actually let go of some really big armour in the last couple of days, genuinely.
00:39:49We are actually willing, and we've got a lot of respect and regard for each other.
00:39:56We're doing it at a pace that Tim's comfortable with, and I'm up for the journey.
00:40:02I'm really happy.
00:40:04Yeah.
00:40:05I'm feeling good.
00:40:07We're happy if you're happy.
00:40:08I'm happy if you're happy.
00:40:09Cool.
00:40:11But, we've clearly had a shift from friends and family, and it did go well.
00:40:19Tell us, what's changed?
00:40:21There was a huge shift with family and friends visits.
00:40:26Particularly my dad, who came with his magic pouch and...
00:40:30It sounds like it.
00:40:31...briefed all over Tim, and gave him a good nudge.
00:40:36Tim just came back with a whole different energy field.
00:40:40You have certain people that can really handle you, and I've never actually had a father say,
00:40:45just have a one night stand with my daughter, see where it goes.
00:40:52You just can't be pissed off around that guy.
00:40:54Even the moment he told you, if you yell at my daughter again, he's got people in Melbourne that he knows can break your leg.
00:41:02Go Dad.
00:41:03He was just a classic.
00:41:06He really stuck it to me for the first ten minutes.
00:41:08Okay.
00:41:09Yeah, he came with a lot of hard hitting questions.
00:41:12Definitely respect where he's coming from, and I definitely listened to his advice.
00:41:19When you and I met at the start of the experiment, and we had that chat,
00:41:24one of the key things that came up was about your walls, wasn't it?
00:41:27Totally.
00:41:28And, you know, knowing that you're coming into this process and going to have some battles with some of those walls.
00:41:33Yeah.
00:41:34Do you think some of them are starting to come down now?
00:41:39I think they sort of, they come and they go.
00:41:45Just little things that she does actually breaks it down.
00:41:48And look, Lucinda's an incredible girl.
00:41:50She's sweet.
00:41:51She's kind.
00:41:52She's never got a bad word to say about anybody.
00:41:55And just really thoughtful.
00:41:58So, you know, there's nothing not to like about Lucinda.
00:42:06And for yourself, it's worth noting that quite often the process of bringing down the walls is not linear.
00:42:13You know, it's not just they're all down in one week and then you're fixed.
00:42:16There can be a bit of up and down and up and down.
00:42:18But I think as long as you guys are talking about this stuff, you know,
00:42:21it sounds like you really are starting to open up to Lucinda.
00:42:25For sure.
00:42:26Keep doing that.
00:42:29Well, why don't we go to the decision?
00:42:31Gosh, we all know mine.
00:42:33All right, Lucinda.
00:42:34It is a humbled stay because, you know, it's one week at a time.
00:42:43And Timothy.
00:42:45I've seen a different side of Lucinda in the last two days.
00:42:49You know, she's definitely got my respect.
00:42:51One hundred percent.
00:42:53So.
00:42:55Exclamation.
00:42:56Yeah, put an exclamation.
00:42:58Brilliant.
00:43:01Well, respect is a very good start.
00:43:04Yeah.
00:43:05All right, back to the group.
00:43:06You can do this.
00:43:07You can do this, guys.
00:43:14Still to come.
00:43:15No, no, no, no, no.
00:43:17Hang on, hang on.
00:43:18Don't come at that.
00:43:20Emotions run high when Tori and Jack get on the couch.
00:43:24I didn't realise how it would make you feel.
00:43:27I'm just trying to be open and honest.
00:43:29If you want to go, like, go now.
00:43:32Before Lauren makes a brutal confession.
00:43:36I've got to be completely honest.
00:43:39Next up, we have.
00:43:46Michael and Stephen.
00:43:52Hello, hello.
00:43:53Hello, boys.
00:43:54Hello.
00:43:55How are you?
00:43:56Welcome.
00:43:58You've had a crash course this week.
00:44:00Yeah.
00:44:01It was a good one.
00:44:02It was a good one.
00:44:03It was a good one.
00:44:04It was a good one.
00:44:05It was a good one.
00:44:06It was a good one.
00:44:07Yeah.
00:44:08It was a great step for us in the right direction.
00:44:12How are your feelings developing?
00:44:14Like, I can see them getting stronger, for sure.
00:44:18We're enjoying each other's company.
00:44:20I think we're great.
00:44:22I'm madly attracted to him.
00:44:25What about you, Stephen?
00:44:31On paper, it is perfect.
00:44:34One of the challenges we did was the qualities,
00:44:37and I think it was pretty much word for word.
00:44:41But are you attracted to him?
00:44:48I definitely can see that he's a great looking guy.
00:44:55But are you physically attracted to Michael?
00:45:04Not yet.
00:45:08No.
00:45:13Are you noticing it building?
00:45:16The physical side of things, probably not so much still.
00:45:21I think that typically Michael's a little bit more feminine
00:45:25than what I am drawn to.
00:45:34How does this sit for you, Michael?
00:45:36Hearing that the physical attraction is not there yet.
00:45:40I mean...
00:45:44I mean, it feels shit.
00:45:49It is hard to hear that I'm not desirable right away.
00:45:55I definitely wanted to be there, for sure.
00:45:58But I thought we were making progress.
00:46:02Like, I've given it my all,
00:46:04but I feel like I've been kind of actually misled now.
00:46:08Stephen, are you confident that the attraction will build with Michael?
00:46:15I can't confidently say.
00:46:19I've never been in this position,
00:46:21and I can't confidently answer that.
00:46:26Yeah.
00:46:28I'm just going to kind of reassess it
00:46:30and not give it that deadline.
00:46:33Michael, are you willing to wait?
00:46:37For this guy, yes.
00:46:39I am.
00:46:41Are you hopeful that that physical attraction is going to get there?
00:46:45I do have hope, yeah.
00:46:46I am definitely hopeful for it.
00:46:50All right, let's go to the decision.
00:46:52We'll start with Michael.
00:46:54Yeah, we're definitely still growing.
00:46:57So, I wrote Stay.
00:47:03Stephen?
00:47:08I'm just going to see if it does progress naturally.
00:47:13I am hopeful.
00:47:16So I wrote Stay.
00:47:20Good stuff.
00:47:22I think it's important for you to acknowledge, Stephen,
00:47:25that Michael really is giving you what you need at this point.
00:47:29Yeah, I feel like I hold all of the chips at the moment.
00:47:32Right, so there's real compromise here.
00:47:34You know, it really is important this, Stephen,
00:47:36that you don't get too comfortable and sit back and go,
00:47:39well, I'm getting everything I need right now, so I'm just going to cruise.
00:47:42Yep.
00:47:43Otherwise, you'll just be mates.
00:47:46No, 100%.
00:47:50Thanks, guys.
00:47:51Thank you, guys.
00:47:52Have a great week.
00:47:53Thank you so much.
00:47:54Thanks for that, guys.
00:47:56It's just kind of upsetting when he was asked if he had the sexual attraction towards me,
00:48:00and he just blankly said no.
00:48:03It did hit at my heart a little bit.
00:48:05Like, it makes me question and self-doubt myself.
00:48:10You're stuck with me for one more week.
00:48:15If he can't get that spark going, if he doesn't want to move forward with me,
00:48:18then it's going to leave me a little bit heartbroken,
00:48:20because I did come here for love, and I stick to that.
00:48:24Our next couple up on the couch,
00:48:28Lauren and Jonathan.
00:48:35Hi.
00:48:39Well, last time we saw you on the couch,
00:48:44things were a bit tricky between you.
00:48:46That's a nice way of saying it, yep.
00:48:49Last week was horrible.
00:48:52Jono and I continued to argue about the muzzle comment,
00:48:57but Jono continued to apologise,
00:49:02and we decided that we're going to put it in the past.
00:49:05I'm going to accept the apology, face value, and leave it there.
00:49:09So you accepted the apology, essentially drew that line in the sand,
00:49:13so we're moving on from here.
00:49:14Yes.
00:49:16Where are you at now?
00:49:22Um, yes.
00:49:24So now, I've got to be completely honest,
00:49:29because it's what we expect from everyone else.
00:49:34I have, um...
00:49:39..like, pretty much...
00:49:43..zero romantic feelings at this point.
00:49:50Um...
00:49:56OK.
00:50:08Where are you at now?
00:50:11Um, yes.
00:50:13So now, I've got to be completely honest,
00:50:19because it's what we expect from everyone else.
00:50:22I have, um...
00:50:26..like, pretty much...
00:50:30..zero romantic feelings at this point.
00:50:39OK.
00:50:49Obviously, on paper, Jono is perfect.
00:50:53Everything I've asked for, you've given to me.
00:50:55But I think I am struggling with, like,
00:50:59that spark with our personalities.
00:51:02I feel like we are missing a bit of that, like, banter,
00:51:05a bit of that back and forth.
00:51:10Yeah, I have kind of felt like it's just your wall up, though.
00:51:16Like, and I know you're saying all the romance is gone,
00:51:19but, yeah, I do think you're amazing.
00:51:23I see you with everyone else, and you literally light up the room.
00:51:27Like, you're the funniest person I've ever met.
00:51:29But I just don't get to see much of that one-on-one.
00:51:35You know, it's just astonishing...
00:51:39..that it's come this far,
00:51:41and you two are telling me you don't really talk.
00:51:46And it's just...it's not good enough.
00:51:50I know. I know.
00:51:55This is making me curious about,
00:51:57have you guys really connected on that deeper level?
00:52:01No. No.
00:52:04Well, any wonder the banter's not there.
00:52:07You know, banter isn't just automatic. Yeah.
00:52:09You know, that comes when you're in rapport with each other. Yeah.
00:52:12You've connected and share stories about your lives,
00:52:15ask each other questions, get curious about each other.
00:52:18Yeah. Yeah, definitely.
00:52:20This is what you need to do together. Yeah.
00:52:23And it is hard, particularly if this is something new for you.
00:52:26It might be uncomfortable.
00:52:30But I think you can see, and certainly you've observed
00:52:32with a lot of the other conversations we've had tonight,
00:52:35that you've got to get uncomfortable. Oh, yeah.
00:52:37You've got to get beyond that little comfort zone...
00:52:41..because you guys both have so much to offer.
00:52:45Is that something you're able to do?
00:52:48If I'm willing to do that, I definitely am.
00:52:52What about you, Jono?
00:52:54I'm 100%. I'd love to try that.
00:52:56I love spending time with Lauren, so, yeah.
00:53:00Hmm. Well, I think we should go to the decision. OK.
00:53:04What have you got for us, Jono?
00:53:07Um, yeah, the last three days have actually been nicer,
00:53:11and I see hope, like, yeah.
00:53:14So, I wrote Steve.
00:53:16Good stuff.
00:53:18And you, Lauren?
00:53:23Um, well, I'm willing to give this a proper shot.
00:53:28And so, Britain's Day.
00:53:30Good work.
00:53:32Pleased to hear it.
00:53:34Well, it's time for those deep conversations, guys.
00:53:37Yeah. Yeah. OK.
00:53:39Thanks, guys. Thanks.
00:53:46Next up on the couch...
00:53:50..Sara and Tim.
00:53:56Hello. Hello.
00:53:58Hello.
00:54:01How are you guys doing?
00:54:03Do you want to go? Sure. Pretty good.
00:54:06Yeah, pretty good. We've had another really good week.
00:54:12Um...
00:54:14Yeah.
00:54:16LAUGHTER
00:54:18It would be great if you could go into more detail, Tim.
00:54:22Here we go.
00:54:24We're in the best place that we've been, I feel like.
00:54:27Definitely the best place we've been the whole experiment.
00:54:31What are your main concerns at this moment?
00:54:36I think my main concern is that I might be too much for Tim.
00:54:43I am a big personality,
00:54:45and I've always wanted someone that's going to match my energy
00:54:48in that sense, and, yeah, I think...
00:54:51..it's hard, because Tim has shown me a confident side of him.
00:54:56He's shown me a confident side to him,
00:54:58but he's not necessarily as big a personality as I am.
00:55:04I wonder, Sara, for you,
00:55:06is it your feeling that you might be too much for Tim,
00:55:10or is Tim perhaps not enough for you?
00:55:17I think in the past I have always felt like I am too much for people.
00:55:23Like, I have had, like, I guess, instances in the past
00:55:29where, like, I have been too big of a personality for people, so...
00:55:36Complete transformation in your face.
00:55:38It made you emotional. Why is that?
00:55:41Sorry.
00:55:45Because I know that I have things to work on, for sure I do,
00:55:48but, like, I am who I am.
00:55:51I'm always going to be opinionated.
00:55:53I might be one of the loudest in the room.
00:55:57And sometimes that is a lot for some people, so...
00:56:01I don't know.
00:56:03I don't know.
00:56:04I might be one of the loudest in the room.
00:56:08And sometimes that is a lot for some people, so...
00:56:14How does that make you feel, Tim, to hear Sara saying this?
00:56:19I don't want her to feel like she's too much for me.
00:56:24That's my type.
00:56:26So it's like an opposite-attract situation, you know,
00:56:29like a yin-yang sort of vibe.
00:56:31I think Sara's showing me pretty much every day, like,
00:56:35that my voice matters and my opinion matters,
00:56:38you know, and that she's listening to me, so...
00:56:41Yeah.
00:56:43Let's get to the decision. Stay or leave?
00:56:45We're going to go with you first.
00:56:47Tim?
00:56:48Best week.
00:56:49Stay.
00:56:50OK.
00:56:54And what about you, Sara?
00:56:56I... Yeah, I've had a really good week with Tim
00:56:59and I'm really positive about the way things are going,
00:57:01so I wrote stay.
00:57:02Good. Stay.
00:57:06OK, guys, you know what you've got to do.
00:57:09Roll the sleeves up and get it done this week.
00:57:12Away you go.
00:57:16Our last couple on the couch tonight...
00:57:20..Tori and Jack.
00:57:23All right.
00:57:25Wow.
00:57:26Eager?
00:57:27Sprinted up.
00:57:28Sprinted up?
00:57:29Cos he wanted to sit where I usually sit.
00:57:34I don't like this side.
00:57:37Let's try it.
00:57:38Big week for you two last week.
00:57:43Probably the longest week in the experiment, I feel.
00:57:46A lot of chat, a lot of discussion,
00:57:48but I think we came out of it pretty good.
00:57:53So, going into last night's dinner party,
00:57:56how did you feel about things?
00:57:58I just wanted to really, like, just coast along last night.
00:58:01Just...
00:58:03..continue laying low.
00:58:07What I saw was the two of you getting fired up.
00:58:13And, Tori, I haven't seen you that fired up before.
00:58:19Out of this experiment,
00:58:21it takes a lot to get me to a point of anger
00:58:25that I was at last night.
00:58:29But Timothy obviously does a pretty good job
00:58:32at getting me to a certain point.
00:58:35And I really did blow up.
00:58:38Oh, yeah, we saw it.
00:58:40And I think everything is so intense in here
00:58:45that it took a minute time to get me
00:58:49to a level where I was, like, feral.
00:58:53What was that trigger?
00:58:55Timothy was sitting at the end of the table
00:58:57with this smug look on his face.
00:58:59It's the only one I've got.
00:59:00And I don't like smug.
00:59:02What's so difficult about someone being smug?
00:59:05Smug is sneaky, and sneaky is disingenuous,
00:59:08and I don't like disingenuous people.
00:59:13He'd said a few things to Jayden that I didn't like,
00:59:16so I was just in a state of, like,
00:59:19You're done, mate.
00:59:22Can I just ask you, what did he say about Jayden
00:59:25that really got under your skin?
00:59:28He said to Jayden that you are nothing.
00:59:35Questioning his character a little bit.
00:59:37Yeah.
00:59:38For me, the comment was low,
00:59:41and it hit a nerve with me,
00:59:43and I didn't like it.
00:59:47That comment there is just as destructive
00:59:50as the comment Jack made last week.
00:59:53But when he made that comment...
00:59:55No, no, no.
00:59:56No, no. Hang on. Hang on. Hang on.
00:59:58Don't come with that.
01:00:12Can I just ask you, what did he say about Jayden
01:00:15that really got under your skin?
01:00:19He said to Jayden that you are nothing.
01:00:23That comment there is just as destructive
01:00:26as the comment Jack made last week.
01:00:31No, no, no.
01:00:33No, no. Hang on. Hang on. Hang on.
01:00:37No, no. Don't come with that.
01:00:41It's so disappointing.
01:00:43I've got to have you up on that, Tori.
01:00:47I've got a problem with that.
01:00:50How is the comment about
01:00:53not having anything or being a nothing
01:00:56the same as the muzzle your woman comment?
01:00:58No, no. It's just as destructive.
01:01:03That's hurtful to me. That's hurtful.
01:01:05That would hurt me. That would cut me deep.
01:01:09Why did the comment about him being a nothing
01:01:15get you more fired up and feral, in your words,
01:01:19compared to what was said by Jack regarding the muzzle?
01:01:25I was angry at that comment. I was disappointed in Jack.
01:01:31And I think anger and disappointment are two very different things.
01:01:39When you look at the reaction of a group when they hear that,
01:01:44I mean, there are women in this group that are like rolling their eyes.
01:01:50And they're not doing that just for fun.
01:01:54Where are you at with everything right now, Jack?
01:01:58Oh, give me a better question. Jesus.
01:02:02Do you want another question?
01:02:04Just shoot me straight up.
01:02:06All right. Well, I'm going to go there because you've asked me.
01:02:09How serious is this relationship for you with Tori?
01:02:19I was going to chat about patterns today and
01:02:21if I had any questions or concerns about me and Tori moving forward.
01:02:30Pattern I have had is like disappointing like previous partners, you know,
01:02:34and what does that mean?
01:02:37I'm getting this soft side from Tori.
01:02:40And it was relevant to a conversation with a friend, Leah, that visited.
01:02:45And that opened my eyes a little bit.
01:02:50Leah had made comment that it is the first time she's seen me be me.
01:02:56It's just like really kind of highlighted to me that I am so exposed right now.
01:03:03No one gets this side of me.
01:03:05And I feel like I'm probably only going to do it once.
01:03:10And if it gets damaged or questioned or anything like that,
01:03:16I'll probably close myself off.
01:03:21Right.
01:03:23What you're saying is the gravity of this is that now that you're exposed
01:03:27and out there, if he doesn't reciprocate this,
01:03:32if he doesn't come back to you, you'll close up for good.
01:03:39We've never heard you talk like this on the couch before.
01:03:45So, Jack, how does that sit with you?
01:03:49I don't know.
01:03:52I'm getting like nervous in our relationship.
01:03:57It's getting like really serious.
01:04:00And I can see Tori's opening up to me.
01:04:06Letting her guard down a lot.
01:04:09I feel like we're starting to develop serious feelings.
01:04:17And I do have concerns that I'm going to let you down.
01:04:21I'm 34 and single, so, you know, I've let people down before.
01:04:29You're not single.
01:04:31You're married.
01:04:32You're married.
01:04:36I feel like her affection is probably surpassing mine.
01:04:43Well, let me put you on the spot then.
01:04:45Well, let me put you on the spot then.
01:04:47Is this a case where Tori is into you a lot more than you're into Tori?
01:05:01Um...
01:05:15Is this a case where Tori is into you a lot more than you're into Tori?
01:05:26Um...
01:05:35Maybe, maybe a little bit.
01:05:40Tori doesn't like that.
01:05:43Now I've started putting this pressure on me.
01:05:48So rather than feel excited and happy and hopeful,
01:05:55you're actually saying you feel very nervous.
01:05:59And you even said to her, I'm scared I'm going to let you down.
01:06:05Frankly, that worries me.
01:06:07That worries me.
01:06:09Because when people say things to their partners like that,
01:06:18they're almost creating a blueprint.
01:06:21I am going to disappoint you.
01:06:27Because you're pre-empting.
01:06:29So this is going to fail.
01:06:31And that's what I think we're worried about.
01:06:34We've never heard you talk that way before.
01:06:36Yeah, well, what if Tori left me?
01:06:40She's not leaving you.
01:06:45She's not telling you that. She's telling you the opposite.
01:06:50I think you know I'm not going anywhere.
01:06:53Do you think I'm going anywhere?
01:06:55Well, I didn't.
01:06:58But now that you've made that comment, I'm like, if you want to go, go now.
01:07:04Boom.
01:07:07You've planted the seed of doubt.
01:07:10Yeah, totally.
01:07:14That's a problem.
01:07:17I didn't realise how it would make you feel.
01:07:21But I'm just trying to be open and honest.
01:07:26This is the first time I've actually really heard the two of you open up.
01:07:31And Jack, you're prepared to admit that you think Tori may be more into you than you're into her.
01:07:39That's a very big thing to say.
01:07:44There's a lot at stake for her.
01:07:48Yeah.
01:07:51And you need to know I have very serious feelings towards you.
01:07:56That's why I'm nervous.
01:07:58And I have a lot at stake as well.
01:08:01And I wouldn't waste your time, as I don't want you to waste my time.
01:08:05Yeah, and I'm on the same page.
01:08:08Yeah, definitely don't waste my time because that would really f*** me off.
01:08:19Keep that in mind.
01:08:21We're going to the decision. Stay or leave. And we're going to go with you first, Tori.
01:08:27Tori.
01:08:30My decision is to stay.
01:08:39And for you, Jack, what have you got for us?
01:08:44Stay or leave?
01:08:47I will stay.
01:08:48Stay.
01:08:54Well, we've seen the real side to you two.
01:08:57And there's a lot more at stake.
01:09:00This is serious.
01:09:02So you've got to take it that way.
01:09:05We look forward to seeing you next time.
01:09:07But for now, you can go back to the group.
01:09:14What? Like, what?
01:09:19What the hell? I just felt blindsided by Jack.
01:09:25I have given up my livelihood to be here.
01:09:29And so there is a lot weighing on this.
01:09:32And whether it was Jack or whether it was someone else,
01:09:36I want to make sure that it's worth my time.
01:09:42That is the God honest truth.
01:09:48Getting away and spending time in a new environment can help break negative patterns
01:09:52and breathe life into relationships.
01:09:55This is the week that will change.
01:10:00We've got to tell her everything.
01:10:03The night has only just begun.
01:10:05Jack's crossed the line. Inappropriate things have happened.
01:10:11This just spells carnage.
01:10:14I have a target on my back every single night.
01:10:16Jack smacked my butt and then kissed my neck.
01:10:20The social experiment.
01:10:22We're supposed to be mates and he's kissing my wife on the neck.
01:10:25Turns the screws and raises
01:10:29You've made my wife feel uncomfortable.
01:10:31The pressure.
01:10:33Oi! Here he goes again.
01:10:36I'm keeping a really big secret.
01:10:38That's probably why it's getting me a little bit stressed.
01:10:40Someone's relationship is going to blow up.
01:10:42Clear your calendar. Four nights of television.
01:10:46Did you say that? You're a sh** person.
01:10:49Can you just relax? No, I'm not going to relax.
01:10:51Worry about your own relationship.
01:10:53I actually can't do this.
01:10:55And our secret. Dynamite.
01:10:58I know what you did last weekend.
01:11:00I'm not protecting you anymore.
01:11:02We will tell him if you don't tell him.
