00:00:00Ten singles on a quest for love, bravely unknown, and married as complete strangers.
00:00:16Last time.
00:00:17Do you pull out when you're going down?
00:00:20Too fast.
00:00:21Too fast.
00:00:22Too fast.
00:00:23For me, I think this is a way that things can grow.
00:00:26Yeah, you show love by making people laugh.
00:00:31Do you feel like you're ready to be a parent?
00:00:34Yeah, like I've waited 32 years.
00:00:37It's just been so long since I've been with anyone that makes me feel in a place to do
00:00:43that.
00:00:44I do like you, probably more than I should.
00:00:49My text message just sent for you.
00:00:53F*** her.
00:00:54F*** her and f*** you.
00:00:55I'm done.
00:00:56Ellen.
00:00:57You got anything to say?
00:00:58Are you gonna just come in guns a blazing or do you want to have a conversation?
00:01:07A little test.
00:01:11And tonight.
00:01:12You're getting serious.
00:01:15Letter to my departed.
00:01:20You are embarrassing.
00:01:22I wish you nothing but the worst.
00:01:24Man, you guys are starting off on a like on a bad note.
00:01:30This is like grimy, dude, like dirty.
00:01:33I can't wait to talk to David and Madison.
00:01:40Have you been intimate?
00:01:41No.
00:01:42I can't sit here and pretend like this isn't what it is.
00:01:46You're lying.
00:01:53This is Married at First Sight.
00:02:10Hold on a second.
00:02:17You got anything to say?
00:02:18Are you gonna just come in guns a blazing or do you want to have a conversation?
00:02:21A little test.
00:02:22OK, well, do you want to have a conversation?
00:02:25Let's go.
00:02:26Why do you want to like just let's go?
00:02:29Like, why can't you just?
00:02:30I'm mad, Madison.
00:02:31You just lied to my face.
00:02:32Listen, can you listen to me for five seconds?
00:02:35I'm trying to.
00:02:36Go ahead.
00:02:39I like David.
00:02:40OK.
00:02:41And I like her.
00:02:42Got it.
00:02:43I don't need you in it.
00:02:44You need David to protect you?
00:02:47No.
00:02:48Relax.
00:02:49I'm not asking him to protect me.
00:02:50OK.
00:02:51OK?
00:02:52We've gotten to know each other from the gym, from the weekends that we go out.
00:02:56And just the connection is there.
00:02:58The attraction is there.
00:03:00And it's something that we have not explored.
00:03:04But I told him today.
00:03:06And he told me back.
00:03:09And I didn't know that that text message was meant for me.
00:03:12I didn't.
00:03:14And I'm telling you that.
00:03:15She had no f***ing clue because I deleted it.
00:03:17David.
00:03:20I know.
00:03:21I know.
00:03:22I know.
00:03:23Just.
00:03:24OK.
00:03:25I'm done.
00:03:26She had no clue.
00:03:27F*** these people.
00:03:28I'm good.
00:03:41I'm pissed.
00:03:44I'm so sorry.
00:03:47I am shocked to hear that David and Madison have been creeping like TLC.
00:03:51I am stunned.
00:03:53Especially because Michelle just had that gut instinct that that's what was happening.
00:03:58She had no proof whatsoever.
00:04:01And the fact that this is true is mind blowing.
00:04:05I'm so sorry.
00:04:08They were both so dismissive.
00:04:10Yeah, I'm coming in hot.
00:04:11But I'm pissed.
00:04:14He's just like laughing over there, having a good time.
00:04:16He's just like giggling over there.
00:04:17I'm f***ing reeling.
00:04:18Neither one of them can f***ing have the audacity to come tell me what happened.
00:04:22I think that's that nervous laugh.
00:04:24Well, I'm going to f***ing go over there and shut the f*** up.
00:04:29I cannot be calm right now.
00:04:31I'm like shaking.
00:04:32I'm so mad.
00:04:34At least you're keeping it together well.
00:04:37That intuition.
00:04:41Have you spoken to Madison yet?
00:04:43I walked right in there.
00:04:44So do you have anything to say?
00:04:45She's like, are you going to come in hot like this?
00:04:47I'm like, yeah, I'm mad.
00:04:48And for him to keep f***ing interrupting the conversation.
00:04:50She's a big f***ing girl, David.
00:04:52She doesn't f***ing need you to take care of her.
00:04:53Look, I'm going to protect my woman.
00:04:54F*** off.
00:04:56And then she told me they've developed feelings for each other.
00:04:58They decided tonight they want to pursue it.
00:05:02What?
00:05:06Are you going to continue their connection in the primary suite?
00:05:10Yeah, that's what I'm like.
00:05:12Yeah, where does this go from here?
00:05:15I hope she likes living in his parents' basement, I guess.
00:05:17Yeah, I'm getting low.
00:05:18I'm pissed.
00:05:21David texted for a while.
00:05:23Yeah.
00:05:24And that mother f***er was the audacity to say, I wasn't trying.
00:05:26Well, what the hell was he doing?
00:05:28Trying with Madison.
00:05:33F***.
00:05:35What are you thinking?
00:05:37That I don't want to be around them.
00:05:39Yeah.
00:05:44David thinks he's a great guy still.
00:05:46So do you still think you're a great guy?
00:05:48Yeah, I know I'm a great guy, Michelle.
00:05:50And Madison texts me and asks me how my day is.
00:05:52Madison knows more about David than I do.
00:05:54Don't let me know that.
00:05:56Oh, my God.
00:05:59They're texting, you're so damn fine.
00:06:02Can't wait to eat you.
00:06:05Well, did you eat her?
00:06:07Is this something to be physical to be going on?
00:06:09Right.
00:06:11And why are they doing this?
00:06:15And he f***ing portrayed himself as Alan's friend.
00:06:19I mean, she portrayed herself as my friend.
00:06:23Yeah.
00:06:27Oh, it's been a long weekend, y'all.
00:06:31Couples retreat from hell.
00:06:33I just packed up my things.
00:06:36You're gonna go?
00:06:38Oh, yeah.
00:06:40Tensions are high, I'm not gonna lie.
00:06:43It's been a lot.
00:06:47This is a lot.
00:06:54What hurts you most about the whole thing?
00:06:56I'm like more hurt by her.
00:06:58And I hate that I'm doing that because obviously they're both in the wrong.
00:07:02But I just, he's been lying to my face for a long ass time.
00:07:06I didn't think she was.
00:07:08Yeah.
00:07:09I don't even know if she apologized.
00:07:10I think she was like, we have a connection.
00:07:13I like David.
00:07:18They're a waste of my f***ing energy.
00:07:20They've drained all my f***ing energy from me.
00:07:23They're liars and they're pieces of s*** in my opinion.
00:07:26And they can f***ing run off into the sunset.
00:07:28Let's get the f*** out of here.
00:07:31They're not worth my time.
00:07:32Like, get me out of here.
00:07:33This will go nowhere.
00:07:34They don't have remorse.
00:07:35They're not gonna apologize to me.
00:07:36They don't think they did anything wrong.
00:07:38I don't need them.
00:07:39F*** off losers.
00:08:01So, a lot went down last night.
00:08:06Just a big giant s*** show if I'm being honest with you.
00:08:12You know, there are a lot of hearts and a lot of feelings at play right now.
00:08:17And I don't know where Alan's at because I really would like to talk with him.
00:08:21And I know how badly he's hurting.
00:08:23And that's killed me because I do care for him.
00:08:26And I know that it might not seem that way.
00:08:29But I do care for him.
00:08:30And I just feel awful.
00:08:43And I just hope that he's able to somewhat understand.
00:08:48And, you know, will be able to forgive me someday.
00:08:59Last night was a little interesting.
00:09:01Interesting to say the least.
00:09:04Crazy would be a better adjective.
00:09:06I know.
00:09:07Like, after everything kind of settled last night, I just felt like it just got so quiet in here.
00:09:13And I was just glad we got the ADT system to keep us safe and secure.
00:09:19Because honestly, you know, it kind of gave me more peace of mind.
00:09:23It made me sleep a lot better for sure.
00:09:25Yeah.
00:09:26How are you feeling overall?
00:09:27Because I think you're kind of team David or giving him the benefit of the doubt.
00:09:32So what's your thoughts now?
00:09:36I kind of feel like let down.
00:09:39Because I did.
00:09:40I had his back and I was defending him a lot.
00:09:42But it's just like I can't defend him anymore.
00:09:45I kind of feel foolish for stepping out there to his defense and sticking up for him.
00:09:50When clearly it's not what I thought it was.
00:09:53There's a lot of things going on.
00:09:55And I can't take everything that he has to say as a truth anymore.
00:09:58Yeah, that's my thing.
00:09:59Like, based on what it sounds like that text said, I was like, that's what's hard for me to believe.
00:10:04It's just like tonight's the first night they're admitting they even like each other, let alone send something like that.
00:10:10Like, can't wait to eat you.
00:10:12Yeah.
00:10:13Like, that's a passionate message that you send when you are going back and forth with someone, in my opinion.
00:10:19Yeah.
00:10:20I mean, I'm trying to decide how deep it really went.
00:10:24Like, is it a physical thing?
00:10:26Like, to me, again, that like can't wait to eat you part, that's, to me, giving something more intimate than just having feelings for each other.
00:10:38Who would have known one text could just send everything spiraling?
00:10:43Like, you know, with David and Madison, like, is this about to be a thing?
00:10:48Like, I don't even know.
00:10:49Yeah, good question.
00:10:55Good morning, sunshine.
00:11:01Good morning, baby.
00:11:05You hungry, bro? You already eat?
00:11:09I got no appetite if you ever hear that out of my mouth.
00:11:13You want coffee?
00:11:15No, man.
00:11:16Oh, you don't like coffee?
00:11:17No.
00:11:19I'll make the coffee.
00:11:25You might want to start drinking coffee after all this, bro.
00:11:28Yeah.
00:11:29Huh?
00:11:30No, I'm good. I'm going to get a glass of water, though.
00:11:32I've been drinking coffee since I was like five years old, dude.
00:11:35Damn, how you get on coffee at five?
00:11:37Yo, man, I'm Colombian, dude.
00:11:40So, what happens now, David? What's your next step? You know what I'm saying?
00:11:46I don't know, man. You got any advice?
00:11:48Dude, fuck me. I don't know, man.
00:11:52It's like a very complex question.
00:11:56I think you have to be very tactful about whatever you do.
00:12:00I don't know, dude.
00:12:01Like, what I would do is, first of all, listen, I don't think what—
00:12:07I don't think the problem is that you like Madison and Madison likes you back, if that's how it is.
00:12:13I think the problem was the way that you guys did it.
00:12:16Like, we all want you—you know, want each other to be happy, you know?
00:12:20So, like, I can't, like, tell somebody, no, you can't do this, you know?
00:12:24Even if it's my friend, because it's like—
00:12:27That sounds so right. It's just so easy, and it's like, fuck.
00:12:31The way that you guys did it was the fucked up thing.
00:12:33Yeah.
00:12:34So, what you got to do now, man, is, like, you got to own up to it, obviously.
00:12:37You got to give Alan some time.
00:12:39Yeah, no, definitely.
00:12:40And you got to reach out to him and apologize.
00:12:42I want you. I want to do that.
00:12:44But you got to give him time. You got to give him, like, a week or so, you know?
00:12:47And you get together with him, you apologize.
00:12:49And—because, dude, he trusted you, and Alan's a really fucking smart dude.
00:12:54You want him on your team. He adds value.
00:12:56He's a getter, man. He knows what he's talking about.
00:12:59I know he's a good guy. I never meant to hurt him, dude, and I did, but—
00:13:01And then you figure out what you're going to do with Madison, if that's what you really want.
00:13:05And you pursue that, you know?
00:13:08But, man, you guys are starting off on a—like, on a bad note.
00:13:12I mean, listen, there's a big part of me yesterday that I was like,
00:13:15dude, like, I don't know how I can, like, be around these people after, like—
00:13:19you know, because, man, it was, like—it was very disappointing, dude.
00:13:25Like, what are you guys doing here, you know?
00:13:27I think with you saying that you can't be around us, it's kind of, like,
00:13:31leads me to feel like I should take myself out of this situation.
00:13:36I mean, and don't feel, like, all the guilt, because Madison,
00:13:41she played the game, too, with you, you know?
00:13:44If you guys really like each other, go after it.
00:13:47But you guys are going to have some big challenges with trust, dude.
00:13:51That's what I predict.
00:13:53Like, what kind of trust are you guys going to have in each other
00:13:55if this is the way you guys got together?
00:14:06♪♪♪
00:14:13KNOCKING
00:14:24Hello.
00:14:25Sorry. It's like a mile from my bed too.
00:14:29How'd you sleep? Did you sleep?
00:14:32I did, a little.
00:14:38How are you feeling about everything?
00:14:39It's cold as f*** in here.
00:14:40It's freezing, I know, I know.
00:14:48Hey, I was comfortable.
00:14:49Kinda.
00:14:53I'm okay.
00:14:54You all right?
00:14:55It was a long night.
00:14:56Definitely a long night.
00:14:57What are you, what are you planning on doing today?
00:15:03Are you planning on staying?
00:15:06I mean, I'd like to talk to a couple people,
00:15:08probably just in like smaller groups,
00:15:11just to kind of explain a little bit more, like,
00:15:16you can't help how you feel.
00:15:18Yeah.
00:15:19I do want to talk to Alan.
00:15:20I'd like to talk to Michelle again,
00:15:21but like, I just want to make sure that she at least
00:15:23is like open to just like hearing it and not just...
00:15:26I don't know, I didn't even realize that she left.
00:15:29And like, last night I seen the cars gone,
00:15:31but then I was like, oh f***, they're not even here.
00:15:34And then when...
00:15:34Oh, they left?
00:15:35Yeah, after that.
00:15:36Cause I was like, I woke up this morning,
00:15:37I went in the room, all the s*** was gone.
00:15:39Oh, well that's great.
00:15:40Yeah.
00:15:41So it's just Karla, Juan, Camille, and Thomas.
00:15:44Okay.
00:15:45But I don't want to leave you hanging dry by yourself.
00:15:49I'm not gonna do that to you.
00:15:50I'll just hide in the room.
00:15:51I'd say the same thing, just not f***ing go into the cars,
00:15:54but how it went about this situation was a total f*** up.
00:15:58And then I gotta look back at myself and just be like,
00:16:03you know, just gotta keep working.
00:16:06And I do, and I want to keep showing you those sides
00:16:09that, you know, Michelle didn't get to see, unfortunately.
00:16:12Cause things didn't start off on a great thing,
00:16:14but I have a lot inside.
00:16:17I have a lot to offer.
00:16:19I know, and I feel like I got,
00:16:20I did get to know like a really good version of you.
00:16:22Like just with all the conversations,
00:16:25seeing that, you know,
00:16:27heartfelt side and the sentimental side and like.
00:16:30So I can be vulnerable, and I am,
00:16:32and I guess that's what like I connected to,
00:16:37which is like so hard was that,
00:16:38that vulnerability I was able to give you.
00:16:40Because normally I just keep f***ing and it's just like,
00:16:44whatever, you know, I was trying to be patient.
00:16:49But yeah, I got to, he got me to open up.
00:16:52And I appreciate it.
00:16:54And I appreciate it, you just listen.
00:16:58Sometimes somebody just needs somebody to listen to
00:17:00and kick it with, like.
00:17:02Yeah, I don't know.
00:17:04I think I just, I wanted to make things work so badly
00:17:06with Alan because I did sign up for this
00:17:08and I did really f***ing try, like really f***ing try.
00:17:12I know you did, and that's what's going to come off
00:17:13as people think that you gave up or you weren't trying,
00:17:16but I seen you trying.
00:17:17And that was the base of the start of our conversations
00:17:20when we were in the gym was basically talking
00:17:22about our marriages and where we're going
00:17:24and what you were doing.
00:17:25Right, like how to change things or how to like flip it.
00:17:28You know, nobody was there
00:17:29for those conversations but me.
00:17:30So I want to let you know that I know deep down inside
00:17:32that you were trying and you gave all, you're all.
00:17:35And f***ing just happened.
00:17:37You like, like I said, you can't,
00:17:38we couldn't fight it anymore.
00:17:41I just, I want to continue like building our,
00:17:42our like friendship foundation first.
00:17:44And like, I don't want to rush into anything.
00:17:46And like, I know that like we are.
00:17:47100%.
00:17:48Just by admitting the feelings,
00:17:50like it's just putting it out there.
00:17:52Like, I don't want it.
00:17:53Like, we're not jumping into dating.
00:17:55Like we're not, we're, we are still married separately.
00:17:58Like, this is crazy.
00:18:00That is not even close to what's on my mind.
00:18:02And I just want like everyone else to know
00:18:04that you can't help how you catch feelings.
00:18:06You just can't.
00:18:08I definitely caught on hard.
00:18:10♪♪♪
00:18:15♪♪ Got the future in my hands, yeah, yeah ♪♪
00:18:20♪♪ Letting go of all regrets, yeah, yeah ♪♪
00:18:23Do you want some yogurt?
00:18:25No, thank you.
00:18:27What's up?
00:18:28Good morning.
00:18:29Guten Morgen.
00:18:30How's it going?
00:18:31Good, how are you?
00:18:33Oh, you know.
00:18:35How you feeling?
00:18:36Better days.
00:18:37Yeah.
00:18:39Looks like the dust is settling a little bit this morning.
00:18:42Yeah, I just wanted to give some space.
00:18:47Hello, good morning.
00:18:48Welcome to the conversation.
00:18:49You got a good night's sleep?
00:18:50I sure did, and I'm glad.
00:18:52Yeah, it was a lot going on.
00:18:53I heard.
00:18:54A lot going on.
00:18:55There was a lot going on.
00:18:56Yeah.
00:18:57Well, I am curious because I did miss it, so.
00:19:01Do you want to go outside or on the couch or something?
00:19:04Yeah.
00:19:05Carla, do you want a mimosa?
00:19:06Yes.
00:19:07Okay.
00:19:08And a red soda.
00:19:09A little coffee, bro?
00:19:10Mm-hmm.
00:19:11Madison, would you like a coffee?
00:19:12Um, actually, I'm okay.
00:19:17How's that pulpy orange juice?
00:19:23So, I want you to, you know, hear it from me.
00:19:28I do have feelings for David.
00:19:31And they've kind of just developed over the last few weeks,
00:19:38and just him and I have kind of had a chance to, you know,
00:19:42bond over some of our **** from our marriages,
00:19:46and we go to the gym almost every other day,
00:19:49and, you know, going out on the weekends and stuff,
00:19:52and just, we both just really enjoyed each other's company.
00:19:56We were friends.
00:19:59We are friends.
00:20:00Like, we were friends first,
00:20:01and it's something that, you know, feelings did start to develop.
00:20:09I just have to, like, keep it real.
00:20:11Like, hearing this news was, like, really hard and, like, difficult
00:20:15because Michelle opened up to us, like, several times
00:20:19in, like, group, like, the girl group setting
00:20:22of the way she felt or just, like, the disconnect.
00:20:25And I feel like, as a friendship, for this to be done
00:20:29behind, like, closed doors or without, like,
00:20:32there should have been an honest conversation
00:20:34that should have been had so that, you know,
00:20:37one, like, you can live your best life and be happy,
00:20:41and two, Michelle doesn't have to sit here
00:20:44and, like, wonder who this text message was for.
00:20:47And it's just, I mean, I would never cross that boundary
00:20:53of, like, stepping into someone else's relationship
00:20:57in any type of way.
00:20:58I understand that, and to be completely honest,
00:21:00like, and I told them, like,
00:21:01I didn't think that that text message was meant for me.
00:21:04Like, it shouldn't have been meant for me.
00:21:06That's not the level that David and I were at.
00:21:08Yeah, I was building a connection with him
00:21:10that was meaningful to me,
00:21:11but, like, that coming up was a surprise to me,
00:21:15and I didn't know that.
00:21:16And so, like, every, like, piece of advice
00:21:19that I did give to Michelle, like, it was genuine.
00:21:21And, like, you're right,
00:21:22I should have talked to her separately, but...
00:21:24Yeah, I feel like a long time ago, like,
00:21:26especially if this has been developing for a few weeks,
00:21:29I mean...
00:21:30How do you tell somebody that
00:21:31when you don't know the direction that it should go
00:21:34or that you want to go?
00:21:35I don't know.
00:21:36Like, what's the...
00:21:37I just feel like us all hanging out
00:21:38outside of this experience has also just...
00:21:42I'm just trying, you know, I'm being honest
00:21:44with the way that I feel.
00:21:45I know, and I appreciate it. I appreciate it.
00:21:47And, you know, I've built even, like, a friendship with you.
00:21:50And, like, so I feel like out of everyone,
00:21:53I've been the closest with you.
00:21:55It's uncomfortable to now look back
00:21:57that I just went out with you, David, and Alan.
00:22:00And, like, one thing that's, like, super important
00:22:03in all relationships, friendships, like, romantic,
00:22:06is, like, the respect for the other person.
00:22:09It's really tough. It's uncomfortable.
00:22:11It's awkward.
00:22:12This is f***ed up, and this is, like, grimy, dude.
00:22:15Like, dirty.
00:22:20It affects, like, the group
00:22:22and, like, the way that we all hang out.
00:22:24And, like, half of the group left.
00:22:26Yeah.
00:22:27So it's just, like, it's super unfortunate.
00:22:29I'm sure, like, no one feels good right now.
00:22:32Like, everybody, this is, like, icky for everyone.
00:22:34Yeah.
00:22:36I need a sage.
00:22:37I need a Palo Santo, this bitch.
00:22:40Put some... I need to make a crystal crown for myself
00:22:44to protect my energy.
00:22:46Yeah, people are wild.
00:22:48Do you want to, like...
00:22:50So you're going to be a couple now?
00:22:51No, no, and that's not what I'm saying.
00:22:53No, I'm curious.
00:22:54No, like...
00:22:55Are you guys on your honeymoon right now?
00:22:57No, no, like, not even close.
00:22:59Like, I wanted to get through these eight weeks
00:23:01before even attempting to do anything
00:23:03to even look at those feelings more.
00:23:06And that didn't happen.
00:23:09And so having the conversations and talking about it,
00:23:12like, it is just an elevated friendship.
00:23:15And it's, like, it's not supposed to be this, like,
00:23:17oh, I'm just going to jump right into this.
00:23:19Like, we've been dating.
00:23:20Like, that's not what it is at all.
00:23:22Like, I don't even know if it could be something.
00:23:24That's, like, that's where it's at.
00:23:26And it's, like, it's the fact of just being honest
00:23:28of where the feelings are,
00:23:29because what's the point of continuing with Alan
00:23:32if the decision is going to be no for me?
00:23:34And not how I would have wanted this to, like,
00:23:37obviously transpire, but, like...
00:23:40I'm not even anywhere near being able or ready
00:23:42to jump into something else.
00:23:44I think David's thinking it might be something.
00:23:47Right, the way that, like, it was portrayed to me,
00:23:50it was that you guys were exploring.
00:23:52Yeah, I think that's the hard part for me,
00:23:54is, like, especially with David,
00:23:55and I think because he's lied so much already.
00:23:57Like, that is the part I'm hung up on, is that text.
00:24:00It's, like, to me, that's, like, that's not at all a text
00:24:05that's, like, someone I got a crush on.
00:24:07I don't even know if they really like me or not yet.
00:24:10That's why I was like, eat.
00:24:12Yeah, that's what I know. That's, like...
00:24:14Well, and that's why, like,
00:24:15if I would have received that text,
00:24:16I would have said, like, what are you doing?
00:24:18Like, we're not at that level, and I'm not a bad person,
00:24:22and I don't try to hurt people,
00:24:23and I hope that, like, you can see that at some point,
00:24:27and I understand if, like, you are disappointed in me
00:24:32and if, you know, whatever that looks like
00:24:35for a future friendship.
00:24:36Yeah, I feel...
00:24:37Yeah, I definitely, like, need time to, like,
00:24:40think about things because I don't really see both sides.
00:24:43Like, I can't connect with that side, you know,
00:24:46because to me, there's a million men in the world.
00:24:50In this experience, I felt like we were really
00:24:53each other's safety net in, like,
00:24:55being able to confide in one another,
00:24:57and, like, I thought it was truly genuine.
00:25:00And, like, I truly stand by, like,
00:25:03what you do is none of my business.
00:25:05I know, but that's not...
00:25:06Like, your relationship is none of my business.
00:25:08Like, going forward, I don't...
00:25:10I don't want to be involved.
00:25:12There is, like, a certain trust level now
00:25:15that has been broken.
00:25:17At this place of where I am in my life,
00:25:20I wouldn't want to surround myself with women
00:25:23that, like, step that boundary in a relationship.
00:25:27It's a really tough pill to swallow, honestly.
00:25:30Like, I feel awful.
00:25:31Like, I really do feel awful.
00:25:33I know I've only known these girls for a short time,
00:25:35but, you know, I did get close with them,
00:25:37and, like, I hope that in time
00:25:38I can build those relationships back
00:25:40and, you know, have them trust me.
00:25:43I'm gonna head back to the city.
00:25:45You're gonna head back to the city?
00:25:46Yeah.
00:25:47I'm just gonna take some time.
00:25:49Some time?
00:25:50Yeah.
00:25:51That's what you need.
00:25:52That's what you need.
00:25:53Yeah, but, um,
00:25:54obviously you can stay or go,
00:25:56but, um, I'm all packed up,
00:25:58so I'm probably gonna head out here soon.
00:26:00I just wanted to let you know.
00:26:02Give you a hug.
00:26:03I'm gonna give you a hug.
00:26:04It's definitely needed.
00:26:05Yeah.
00:26:07Of course, I'll, you know,
00:26:09if you need anything, I'm here.
00:26:11I will appreciate it.
00:26:12Because we know what it is at the end of the day.
00:26:14Yeah, I appreciate it.
00:26:15Well, get home safe.
00:26:17Yes, yes, you as well.
00:26:18Whatever you do.
00:26:20Just want them to be able to enjoy
00:26:22the rest of the weekend,
00:26:23so I'm gonna head back home,
00:26:25and I need to have a conversation with Alan.
00:26:28He needs to hear from me.
00:26:29He needs to hear my side.
00:26:31He needs to look at me
00:26:32and understand that this was not something
00:26:33that I just went out of my way to do
00:26:36and to hurt him
00:26:37and to be intentionally spiteful.
00:26:39Like, he needs to hear it from my mouth,
00:26:41and he needs to see it from my face.
00:26:44There's a lot of hurt people right now,
00:26:46and that's not what I wanted this weekend to be about,
00:26:48and I'm the reason for part of that hurt,
00:26:51and it sucks.
00:26:53I'm the reason for part of that hurt,
00:26:55and it sucks.
00:26:57♪♪♪♪
00:27:02♪♪♪♪
00:27:07♪♪♪♪
00:27:12♪♪♪♪
00:27:17♪♪♪♪
00:27:20I needed to come back to the retreat house,
00:27:23first and foremost, get my car.
00:27:25I ain't leaving that thing there,
00:27:26but this morning I woke up,
00:27:28and, you know, the pain is still there.
00:27:30You know, the disappointment is definitely there.
00:27:35You know, my whole reality of the past couple weeks,
00:27:41you know, has been, like, completely altered.
00:27:46♪♪♪♪
00:27:51You know, the little things that I was seeing
00:27:53and giving the benefit of the doubt
00:27:55and, you know, trying to understand
00:27:57Madison's perspective and defending her
00:28:00and, you know, having those tough conversations
00:28:04and everything, and it destroyed me.
00:28:08Hello, Alan.
00:28:09Hello.
00:28:10How are you feeling?
00:28:12Is that okay to ask?
00:28:14Yeah, of course.
00:28:15No, I was hoping to...
00:28:16Yeah, I was gonna ask.
00:28:18Can I give you a hug, too?
00:28:20Of course.
00:28:21I'm sorry.
00:28:22No, we're here to...
00:28:23I'm definitely here to support you.
00:28:25Yeah.
00:28:26No, I, uh...
00:28:27You know, from day one, it's like,
00:28:29it shouldn't be so hard to force something,
00:28:32and, you know, putting a...
00:28:33What's the expression?
00:28:35A square hole into a...
00:28:37No, a square peg into a round hole.
00:28:39Yeah.
00:28:40It just doesn't work, and...
00:28:41Yeah.
00:28:42You know, it's a shame.
00:28:43Yeah.
00:28:44Well, I mean, you tried,
00:28:46and you definitely made your efforts,
00:28:48and, like, it's just...
00:28:51I'm so sorry.
00:28:52I just don't understand how...
00:28:55Like, if this has been going on for a couple weeks,
00:28:59the sh... I've been doing and saying and talking...
00:29:02Yeah, dude, that's what we were saying.
00:29:04Honestly, like, I don't want to force a relationship like that,
00:29:08you know, but...
00:29:10if you knew this was going on,
00:29:12and you're sh... on me for the past couple weeks...
00:29:15Great, great.
00:29:16Like, you're sh... on me.
00:29:17Right, dude.
00:29:18Like, you don't like this, you don't like that.
00:29:19You see what I'm going through.
00:29:20You see, like, you know, I'm taking her out for dates.
00:29:23I'm doing, like, why...
00:29:25Just be like, nah, you know.
00:29:26Right.
00:29:27But I'm not going to let something like this get the better.
00:29:30I've always conducted myself this way,
00:29:32but it's that extra little knowledge that I have inside.
00:29:36Like, the next time I do go into something,
00:29:38it's going to hurt knowing,
00:29:40and I don't want to be the guy that asks,
00:29:42who are you out with?
00:29:43But you said you had your instincts,
00:29:46so, like, maybe I think, like...
00:29:48I think just listening.
00:29:49Just listening to your instinct, like, seeing, kind of.
00:29:52I think, like, a huge thing is, like,
00:29:54not romanticizing, like, what's in front of you.
00:29:57You know, I was coming around, I was kind of doing that, you know,
00:30:02but every other day we'd have a conversation, you know,
00:30:05and it led to, like, dangling this carrot of hope.
00:30:10Like, no, no, no, I absolutely, you know,
00:30:12I want to be in this with you.
00:30:13I wouldn't, if I didn't want to be in this with you,
00:30:16I'd be gone long ago.
00:30:17You know, and those are the words that were said to me,
00:30:20and as long as I'm reassured that we're going down the same path,
00:30:25I'll put my all into it.
00:30:27But, yeah, I'm going to go start getting my life back to normal.
00:30:34Mm-hmm.
00:30:35I support that.
00:30:36Mm-hmm.
00:30:37Yeah.
00:30:38Yeah, keep your head up.
00:30:39Just take time to yourself, for sure.
00:30:41There's no desire for me to recover anything with Madison.
00:30:45I would never, I don't want to speak to her.
00:30:48I don't need answers from her.
00:30:51I don't really care.
00:30:54I know my worth, and I know what I've done,
00:30:59and, like I said, I'm proud of myself.
00:31:02You know, I conducted myself in the way that I think a gentleman should,
00:31:07a weird gentleman, nonetheless,
00:31:11but I don't want somebody that has the ability to look at me in the eye,
00:31:18say certain things, directly lie to me if I'm asking specific questions,
00:31:23and string me along.
00:31:25Just tell me.
00:31:27We all joined this to find love.
00:31:29I would have understood, because not everybody's meant for everybody.
00:31:32You know, I fully recognize that, but it was handled disgusting.
00:31:38You know, I did want to, part of the reason was come back and say thank you both.
00:31:42You guys have been there.
00:31:44I am thankful, though, that I don't regret being a part of it.
00:31:48You know, I got to know you guys.
00:31:50You know, now it's time for that revenge body.
00:31:53You got it, dude.
00:31:55I'm going to help you there.
00:31:56But you know what?
00:31:57I'm happy about the way that you handled it last night,
00:32:00because you were the better man.
00:32:02You didn't let your anger get the best of you.
00:32:06It's not even worth it, bro.
00:32:08Right. Integrity.
00:32:09And you know what?
00:32:10At the end of the day, when you guys are going to see each other again,
00:32:15you know, all of us, we're going to see each other again,
00:32:17hold your ground, man.
00:32:19Be the better man.
00:32:20It's not even worth it.
00:32:22It's not worth it, because you're going to come out and reinforce us.
00:32:24Your mind goes places.
00:32:25Like, you know, think about all these times that she's gone.
00:32:28We had a little argument and stuff, and her words were,
00:32:32I'm just going to go make a call.
00:32:34You know, and two and a half hours later, I'm like, where the are you?
00:32:38You know?
00:32:39And then two hours after that, she comes home.
00:32:42You know, David lives right upstairs.
00:32:44You know, they could have went somewhere.
00:32:46They could have done things.
00:32:47You know, they could have.
00:32:49Your mind goes into this unhealthy.
00:32:52Yeah, for sure.
00:32:53You know.
00:32:54You start to perspective.
00:32:55Thinking of things.
00:32:56And honestly, I wouldn't, I would not put it past him.
00:33:00I mean, do I believe that it was just friends?
00:33:05No, it's evolving.
00:33:06It's been evolving.
00:33:07And it's hurtful, man.
00:33:10I mean, dude was my friend.
00:33:12You know?
00:33:13At this point, I don't think I can be Team David,
00:33:17because I'm supporting something that we weren't here for.
00:33:20We're here to be married.
00:33:22So at this point, I'm Team Michelle and supporting her,
00:33:26because, you know, it would have been all good if this happened
00:33:29outside of the confines of this experiment.
00:33:32But it didn't.
00:33:33So it's like it puts me in a difficult position.
00:33:36And the right thing to do, in my opinion, is to be Team Michelle.
00:33:40All right, well.
00:33:41Just curious.
00:33:42Did they end up sleeping in the same room last night?
00:33:44I don't know, to be honest with you.
00:33:45I would say no.
00:33:46I don't think so.
00:33:47I didn't follow them back.
00:33:48Just curious.
00:33:49Yeah.
00:33:50No, you're good.
00:33:51Just dude, don't let that.
00:33:52I know.
00:33:53I mean, the feelings started to develop.
00:33:55They don't just dissipate overnight.
00:33:58The hurt's still there, and it's just processing it,
00:34:00and using it in a constructive way.
00:34:02Told you, revenge body.
00:34:04There you go, dude.
00:34:05I'll be in touch, boys.
00:34:07All right, man.
00:34:08I know that Madison needs her space right there.
00:34:28I was here for just her support more.
00:34:31Like, if there was anything that she needed,
00:34:33I wasn't just going to leave her in a drive for something that,
00:34:35you know, I all started or whatnot.
00:34:37But now that she's not there,
00:34:39I can work on what I need to do and self-reflect
00:34:41and just be at peace.
00:34:45What's up, y'all?
00:34:47Hey.
00:34:48We were literally just like, is he still here?
00:34:50I was.
00:34:51I was in my room.
00:34:52But I'm going to get my space,
00:34:54go watch some Dallas Cowboys football tonight
00:34:57since it's my first Sunday off.
00:34:59I wanted to apologize to y'all for f***ing up your weekend.
00:35:02It was supposed to be more fun than this.
00:35:04It was.
00:35:06I appreciate y'all,
00:35:07and I'm just going to take my time to myself and...
00:35:11Reflect.
00:35:12Definitely.
00:35:13Probably the best thing to do right now.
00:35:14Definitely do it.
00:35:15Yeah.
00:35:16What you feeling?
00:35:17Where you at with it?
00:35:18Where I'm at with it right now is just,
00:35:19we have a strong connection, a strong bond,
00:35:21and that's all it is.
00:35:22There's going to be some judgment on it
00:35:24from the outside and inside, but, you know,
00:35:25at the end of the day, I know my family loves me,
00:35:27I know my friends love me, and some s*** just happens.
00:35:30Mm-hmm.
00:35:33I feel like this should have been a safe space
00:35:35and, you know, that trust was broken in, like, so many areas,
00:35:40so that's what's, like, really...
00:35:44Unfortunate.
00:35:45Yeah, I got some self-reflecting to do,
00:35:48but at the end of the day, I still appreciate y'all.
00:35:51I hope everything goes well for all y'all.
00:35:54You guys enjoy the rest of the evening.
00:35:56Have some f***ing fun, have some drinks.
00:35:58Mm-hmm.
00:35:59You guys are here, and just enjoy.
00:36:02You can reach out if you need anything.
00:36:04Oh, yeah, yeah, definitely.
00:36:05I definitely know I can.
00:36:07I still feel that love from y'all,
00:36:09and y'all seen both sides of the stories,
00:36:11so it's just what I want to say.
00:36:14It's going to take time.
00:36:15Mm-hmm.
00:36:16Yeah.
00:36:17All right, bro.
00:36:18All right, good luck, man.
00:36:19Yeah, get back safe.
00:36:20Shoot us a text when you get home.
00:36:21Yes, I definitely will, guys.
00:36:22Thank you, guys.
00:36:23Yeah, we'll see you.
00:36:24Much love.
00:36:25Much love.
00:36:26This is the Hunger Games.
00:36:29I love you.
00:36:49Hello?
00:36:50Hi, Pastor Cal.
00:36:51It's Michelle.
00:36:52How are you?
00:36:53Michelle, how are you?
00:36:55I've been better.
00:36:57Oh, God.
00:36:58I did just want to call and kind of catch you up
00:37:01since the last time that I saw you.
00:37:04Okay.
00:37:05He had the text message, the you're so damn fine message.
00:37:08Yeah.
00:37:09And he was saying that it was his cousin
00:37:12that sent the food photo.
00:37:15And we all know better than that.
00:37:17Yeah, yes, yes, yes.
00:37:18And in the back of my mind, I had, like,
00:37:20suspicions for a while that it was Madison.
00:37:24Obviously...
00:37:25I'm sorry?
00:37:26In the back of my mind,
00:37:27I had suspicions that it was Madison, Alan.
00:37:31Madison?
00:37:32Yeah.
00:37:33I just kept my, like, I was...
00:37:34Wait a minute.
00:37:35Yeah.
00:37:36Wait, wait, wait.
00:37:37Why were you suspicious that it was Madison?
00:37:39In my mind, there was no photo.
00:37:42It was just, like, him sitting at a bar
00:37:44and seeing a woman, like, at the bar
00:37:47and being, like, damn, she's so fine
00:37:49and, like, wanting to get, like, a rise,
00:37:51like, watching her read the message.
00:37:53And I had, I knew that night
00:37:55that he was with Madison and Carla.
00:37:57And then they admitted it to Alan
00:37:59that they have been messaging each other,
00:38:02they have a connection,
00:38:03and they want to pursue it.
00:38:05I'm sorry?
00:38:06Yeah.
00:38:07They admitted that to Alan?
00:38:08Yep, they told Alan that, and then...
00:38:11Oh, my God.
00:38:13It was actually David.
00:38:14Yeah.
00:38:15It was David who told Alan,
00:38:17and Alan was really upset.
00:38:18He was, he was slamming doors,
00:38:20and he was pissed,
00:38:21and he ended up leaving.
00:38:22And then David, he let me know
00:38:24that Madison gives him attention,
00:38:27and Madison texts him,
00:38:29and Madison asks how his day is,
00:38:31and Madison knows more about him than I do, so...
00:38:33Okay.
00:38:35Oh, God.
00:38:36First of all, how are you?
00:38:38I'm really mad. I'm mad.
00:38:40Yeah.
00:38:41Because Madison was supposed to be your friend.
00:38:43Yeah.
00:38:44I am so sorry.
00:38:45Yeah, thank you.
00:38:46I am so sorry.
00:38:47I really am, and you don't deserve it.
00:38:51I don't care what happened
00:38:53during your adjustment phase
00:38:54early in the relationship.
00:38:56No one deserves this.
00:38:58No one deserves to be cheated on.
00:38:59No one deserves this.
00:39:01Right.
00:39:02If you want to divorce somebody,
00:39:03divorce them.
00:39:04If you want to leave someone,
00:39:06then leave them.
00:39:07Leave them and do what you want to do.
00:39:09Right.
00:39:10But don't stay in a marriage
00:39:11and cheat with someone else's wife.
00:39:13Yeah. Yep.
00:39:15I mean, it's unconscionable.
00:39:16It's really so unfortunate
00:39:18that there's nothing
00:39:19that we ever even expected.
00:39:21But what's even more disturbing
00:39:24is the fact that they could not
00:39:26stick with their commitments.
00:39:28Right.
00:39:29They committed to the process.
00:39:31We're not talking about years here.
00:39:33Right.
00:39:34We're talking about an eight-week marriage.
00:39:36Yep.
00:39:37If you don't make it work,
00:39:38divorce them.
00:39:39Then do what you want to do.
00:39:40Right.
00:39:41But that just shows
00:39:42an incredible lack of integrity.
00:39:44Mm-hmm.
00:39:45And I can't wait to talk to David.
00:39:47Yeah.
00:39:48And Madison.
00:39:49Mm-hmm.
00:39:50And let them know
00:39:51what they're doing is
00:39:52there's just no justification whatsoever.
00:39:53Well, boy, do we have a lot to talk about.
00:39:55Yeah.
00:39:56♪♪♪♪
00:40:00♪ Hell yeah, I got the groove ♪
00:40:03♪ Hell yeah, hell yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah ♪
00:40:05♪ I don't want no whips, I want it on the block ♪
00:40:08♪ Time's up for you suckers, guess who's on the clock? ♪
00:40:11I'm ready.
00:40:14I'm ready.
00:40:16Juan's ready.
00:40:18Where's Carla?
00:40:20Carla's ready, too.
00:40:21Maybe we just get it started with a...
00:40:23Game of horse?
00:40:24Yeah, a good game of horse.
00:40:25We could even do pig.
00:40:26Same thing.
00:40:27Oh, just P-I-G?
00:40:28All right.
00:40:29All right, cool, cool.
00:40:30There's only two couples left.
00:40:31That's it.
00:40:32And we're not weak, you know?
00:40:34We got to be there for each other.
00:40:36And this is not about them.
00:40:37This is about all of us.
00:40:38You know, like, the people
00:40:39that are still hanging in there.
00:40:40And I'm not gonna let that ruin my time.
00:40:43You want to start it off or what?
00:40:44Yeah.
00:40:45Okay, let's see.
00:40:46You know, like, let's have fun, dude.
00:40:48Like, to hell with this...
00:40:50Whoever's after me better look out.
00:40:52All right.
00:40:53That's short.
00:40:55Hubby.
00:40:57You want to go next, Carla?
00:40:58No.
00:40:59Off.
00:41:01We're just getting warmed up, though.
00:41:04I told you.
00:41:06I told you.
00:41:08That's funny.
00:41:10The girls are repping, boy.
00:41:13Aw.
00:41:14I'll just rebound.
00:41:16Holy...
00:41:18What are you repping with?
00:41:22Carla.
00:41:24What's up?
00:41:26Oh!
00:41:27Almost.
00:41:28Only the girls are left.
00:41:30That's big.
00:41:31Oh, okay.
00:41:33Uh, uh, uh, uh.
00:41:35What am I watching?
00:41:40Uh, uh, uh, uh.
00:41:43Oh!
00:41:44This is getting serious.
00:41:45Yeah.
00:41:46Damn, son.
00:41:48I'm just saying.
00:41:50What you say, what you say.
00:41:52Oh.
00:41:53Well, that's it.
00:41:54The winner, and the winner is Camila.
00:41:56Whoo!
00:41:57All right.
00:41:59I think now that the dust has kind of settled a little bit,
00:42:02like, I appreciate you guys still having, like,
00:42:05good outlooks on everything and, you know,
00:42:07from the get-go.
00:42:08That's why I've been trying to take a page out of your book
00:42:11about having a good time,
00:42:12because, like, there's been multiple steps along the way
00:42:15where things could have fallen apart
00:42:17if we leaned into the things that weren't going right.
00:42:20Well, I feel like all of us have been honest.
00:42:22Like, this group here has been so honest
00:42:24with, like, the group and with each other.
00:42:26I feel like you two are super honest with each other.
00:42:29I feel like we're definitely honest with each other.
00:42:31Yeah.
00:42:32And I think, like, the respect is there.
00:42:34Yeah.
00:42:35So I think that mostly what stands out to me
00:42:38is that that's what they were, like, lacking.
00:42:41Yeah, that's true.
00:42:42It was, like, respect for their significant other.
00:42:44Yeah.
00:42:45And I feel like that literally could have been, like,
00:42:47one of the main things that could have avoided all of this
00:42:51was just having some of that, like, yeah, the respect.
00:42:54Respect, honesty.
00:42:55Yeah.
00:42:56Those are big.
00:42:57But I think, really, all of us have taken this seriously
00:43:00and come in with a thirst for knowledge
00:43:03and just trying to understand our partners.
00:43:05Mm-hmm.
00:43:06What I've learned from this is really, like,
00:43:09I'm a very social person, and I think I learned a lesson
00:43:12that you have to definitely, like, protect your home
00:43:17because this is so dynamic.
00:43:19So I think it's key to really take this day by day,
00:43:24little by little, be patient, you know?
00:43:27Yeah, in the end, it could still end up...
00:43:30Yeah.
00:43:31You know, however it's going to end up.
00:43:33We just saw it change in hours.
00:43:35Yeah.
00:43:36Yeah.
00:43:51How are you?
00:43:52Come on in.
00:43:53How's it going?
00:43:54Good, good.
00:43:55Welcome to my place.
00:43:56Beautiful place, actually.
00:43:58Do you want to sit down under the chair?
00:44:00Yeah.
00:44:01You know, I still have the pain, the hurt.
00:44:04You know, my stomach is kind of twisting.
00:44:06However, I'm thankful that, you know,
00:44:08I do have somebody to go through this with
00:44:10that can understand, that lived it.
00:44:12I heard you went home, too?
00:44:14I went home, and then I left probably not that long after you.
00:44:18Okay.
00:44:19Yeah, I don't know how that, like, progressed into.
00:44:22Yeah.
00:44:23So did you talk to people when you went and got your car?
00:44:26Yeah, I definitely felt a lot of, like, sincere support from everybody.
00:44:32Okay, good.
00:44:33You know, I wanted to extend that same graciousness to you.
00:44:36Yeah, thank you.
00:44:38Just that week's worth of holding this in,
00:44:40or a week and a half or whatever, that can really fester.
00:44:45And, you know, the way you approached me yesterday in the kitchen,
00:44:48and to think that your husband is the cause of that and stuff,
00:44:53it, like, I got up, and I'm like, I feel bad.
00:44:58Yeah, I felt bad, too, because, like, I had a week.
00:45:01My speculations kept, like, being, like, more and more, like,
00:45:05like, I'm on to something.
00:45:07Well, that's the sickening part, honestly.
00:45:09Yeah.
00:45:10Because, like, you know, I was putting the message,
00:45:13supposedly his friend's wife.
00:45:16Girl, you're looking so fine, I'm going to eat you up.
00:45:19Right.
00:45:20Like, that's not, like, a friendly.
00:45:21No, that's not like a, hey, how are you?
00:45:22Like, that, there's been messages to develop to that point.
00:45:25Exactly.
00:45:26So this is weeks.
00:45:28Right.
00:45:29And right in front of both of our eyes.
00:45:33Right.
00:45:34You don't think about it in the moment, but now looking back,
00:45:36I'm like, everything is, like, suspicious.
00:45:38Here's to the breezes that blows through the treeses
00:45:41that lifts the girl's skirts above the kneeses.
00:45:43I was sitting at the airport, I was like,
00:45:45that's definitely going to be my gym buddy.
00:45:47Seeing the vein on the bicep, I was like,
00:45:49she definitely works out, she's got them shoulders.
00:45:51I was like, all right.
00:45:52Would have been nice to have my beautiful wife with me,
00:45:54but she's out for happy hour, I think.
00:45:58Actually, I'm super sore from doing legs with Madison
00:46:02the other day at the gym.
00:46:03Today, we're going to struggle.
00:46:04The night that he sent the message, he was with you two.
00:46:07So, like.
00:46:08Oh, he was with y'all?
00:46:09Did you see him on his phone a lot?
00:46:11No, I think he was helping you look for your phone.
00:46:14Well, when my phone was stolen.
00:46:16Last night, actually hung out with Madison and her cousin.
00:46:20We were watching a football game
00:46:21that we made a little side bet on for tacos.
00:46:24What do you prefer to do right after sex?
00:46:27I think about my answer would be eat.
00:46:29I mean.
00:46:30Tacos.
00:46:31I just feel like there's something bigger going on
00:46:34that I'm unaware of.
00:46:35Yeah, it feels like you're protecting something
00:46:37or you're hiding something.
00:46:39We don't spend a lot of time together,
00:46:40so I truly have no idea what he does.
00:46:43He stays out till like three in the morning.
00:46:45Last night, Madison had some dinner plans.
00:46:48I got a text around one saying, you know,
00:46:51I'm going to actually go home.
00:46:53I like to go with my friends, but I come home and.
00:46:55Yeah, whether it's two times, three times a week,
00:46:57whatever it is.
00:46:58Is it three times a week?
00:47:00Um.
00:47:01I don't think so.
00:47:04It pisses me off.
00:47:05The fact that I gave her the safe space to talk.
00:47:10I didn't ask when in any sense.
00:47:13I know.
00:47:14I mean, I could see like this type of builds
00:47:17that hardened way of approaching a relationship
00:47:22in your history.
00:47:23I don't know.
00:47:24I don't know.
00:47:25I don't know.
00:47:26I don't know.
00:47:27I don't know.
00:47:28I don't know.
00:47:29I don't know.
00:47:30I don't know.
00:47:31I don't know.
00:47:32In your history, like.
00:47:33And he used that against me.
00:47:35Like he was like, your walls are up too much.
00:47:37Like, that's why I can't get, I can't get in.
00:47:40That's a dirt bag.
00:47:41Mm hmm.
00:47:42And she knew that type of stuff is hard for me.
00:47:45Yeah.
00:47:46And that.
00:47:47And like no remorse.
00:47:48You know what I mean?
00:47:49Like, well we have a connection, so get over it, Alan.
00:47:51Like, that's like what it feels like.
00:47:52You know what I mean?
00:47:53Like.
00:47:54And I would have.
00:47:55I would have handled it if it was
00:47:56handled properly on their end.
00:47:58Like they're just like, OK, we're the new couple.
00:48:00Everyone has to get on board with it.
00:48:01Like, it's so messed up.
00:48:02You could say nasty things.
00:48:04And you could.
00:48:08I want to.
00:48:09Totally.
00:48:10But it's OK to like feel those.
00:48:11Like, because I.
00:48:12Yeah, no, I feel it.
00:48:13I was like, I stomped right over there
00:48:15and gave them both a piece of my mind.
00:48:17Literally right as I, right as I was pulling up.
00:48:20Mm hmm.
00:48:21Madison texted me.
00:48:22Oh.
00:48:24So what'd she say?
00:48:25So basically she's like, I know words
00:48:27can't do anything right now.
00:48:29And I know I'm the last person you want to hear from.
00:48:31But I need you to know how truly sorry I am for hurting you.
00:48:35It was never my intention for that.
00:48:37And the last thing I wanted.
00:48:39And I hope you're open to hearing it from me.
00:48:42All I said was, don't message me, please.
00:48:44Nothing you say holds any value in my eyes.
00:48:50What goes around comes around.
00:48:51Mm hmm.
00:48:52Like, it just like makes everything so messy.
00:48:54It is.
00:48:55It's just, it impacts more than just.
00:48:57Yeah.
00:48:58Indirect individuals.
00:49:00Yeah.
00:49:01It does boil my blood.
00:49:02Yeah.
00:49:03I, yeah.
00:49:04Like, I like, I'm not, like I haven't even cried about it yet.
00:49:07Because I'm like so mad about it still.
00:49:09Like, I think like eventually I'll be like just, just like.
00:49:12Him, I like expected.
00:49:13But like, she was like trying to like be my friend.
00:49:15Or I thought she was.
00:49:17Honestly, it dodged a bullet.
00:49:18Yeah.
00:49:19You know, and like that's.
00:49:20Right.
00:49:21It just could have been ended.
00:49:23I don't need to go through this.
00:49:24Right.
00:49:25I could have been back out there trying to find somebody.
00:49:27Right, yeah.
00:49:28That I could build a future with.
00:49:30Totally.
00:49:40Would love to stay another night and try and have a good time.
00:49:43But I feel like the energy was kind of thrown off.
00:49:46Like even just waking up this morning it just felt different.
00:49:49And I like to think everyone came in with the right intention.
00:49:53So it's just unfortunate to see how it's all played out.
00:49:55Yeah.
00:49:56There were other things that I was looking forward to that we never got to.
00:49:59You had stated that you were packing that lingerie.
00:50:03And it never came out of the package.
00:50:06I know.
00:50:07Too much stuff started going down.
00:50:09And it's just.
00:50:10Are you just messing with me at this point now?
00:50:11I know.
00:50:12Yeah.
00:50:13Is there even lingerie?
00:50:15Is that what you're saying?
00:50:16Yeah.
00:50:17Yeah, I know.
00:50:18You know, maybe it's just meant for after decision day.
00:50:23Maybe that's that little.
00:50:24That's my incentive.
00:50:26Okay.
00:50:27But thanks for always beating down for the shenanigans.
00:50:30Yeah.
00:50:31And got the matching pajama pants.
00:50:32I know.
00:50:33It was perfect for the campfire.
00:50:35You brought a lot of things out of me that I wouldn't normally do.
00:50:37So I'm going to just keep it going.
00:50:39Hopefully good things.
00:50:40Yes, a lot of good things.
00:50:41Okay, good.
00:50:48That's it? You're all packed up?
00:50:49I think this is the fastest I've ever packed.
00:50:52I've seen that.
00:50:54Usually you're very, like, lethargic with all of your actions.
00:50:57Lethargic.
00:50:59And today, you were like speed demon.
00:51:02I've never seen you work this hard and this fast since I've met you.
00:51:07I was like, what are you doing?
00:51:08I walked in here.
00:51:09You had half your *** back.
00:51:10Got to get the *** up out of here.
00:51:13Let's hit the road, Jack.
00:51:14All right.
00:51:15After you.
00:51:19Whose sneakers?
00:51:20I think those are Thomas'.
00:51:24You guys got everything?
00:51:26Got the guitar all packed up.
00:51:28I got everything packed up.
00:51:29That's important.
00:51:32Goodbye, bad energy.
00:51:35Yeah, bye retreat house.
00:51:37Here's to the final four.
00:51:39Fun while it lasted.
00:51:40Let's go.
00:51:46Yeah, you just throw it in the back.
00:51:54Yeah.
00:52:1924 hours ago, having a great time.
00:52:23I thought it was a good weekend.
00:52:27It's amazing how much your entire mentality and perspective on your entire relationship and marriage and hopes and reality that you've lived in is just all bull****.
00:52:43If you had all these feelings, how would you feel?
00:52:46If you had all these scars, how would you feel?
00:52:50Being back here, it's really, it sickens me.
00:52:56You know, the times that I thought were happy moments, the times that we were communicating genuinely and effectively, were just bull****.
00:53:07If you had all these scars, how would you feel?
00:53:11The nights where I was waiting right here for her ass to get home, and I'm sitting here watching the clock, trying to stay up, watching a movie, you know, and the thought that David's literally right upstairs.
00:53:27And God knows, I mean, they could be at a bar somewhere.
00:53:32I guarantee you, like, they've been out.
00:53:35Now they're going to go have a happy **** sunshine, you know, rainbow kind of the next couple of weeks.
00:53:51I'm just disappointed by the whole outcome.
00:53:55Somebody that I actually really respected and admired.
00:54:00Like, in my eyes, is dog ****.
00:54:05Your conduct.
00:54:06I mean, one little **** decision.
00:54:08Just be honest.
00:54:09You're saying we're being honest this whole time.
00:54:11I was.
00:54:13Like, be honest.
00:54:16You weren't.
00:54:31Watch out.
00:54:32Pull up.
00:54:33They know what I'm about.
00:54:36Look close and show me.
00:54:37Watch out.
00:54:39What's up, baby?
00:54:40What's up?
00:54:43Where it all began.
00:54:45I know, man.
00:54:46I know.
00:54:48How you been?
00:54:49Good, man.
00:54:50Yourself?
00:54:51Oh, you know, just living the dream.
00:54:53Yeah.
00:54:54How's things, man?
00:54:55Things have been crazy, man.
00:54:57I'll be completely honest with you.
00:54:59Since the last time I've seen you, a lot has happened.
00:55:04A lot.
00:55:06Sounding not good.
00:55:09Yes, not good.
00:55:10Hey, how you doing?
00:55:12Let me know if you'd like to order any food.
00:55:17I'm going to probably drop a bomb on you right now.
00:55:21What now?
00:55:22I have fallen for one of the other wives, man.
00:55:27Really?
00:55:28Yeah.
00:55:29Someone that I connect with, that gives me comfort, gives me attention
00:55:33in the aspect of just trying to figure out who the hell I am
00:55:36as a person that sees beyond past, everything,
00:55:39just little things about my family, who I am.
00:55:41And it all started at the gym, bro.
00:55:43We all said, like, you need some life.
00:55:45It's your comfort zone.
00:55:46Bro.
00:55:47And it was just, you know, one gym thing led to another gym thing.
00:55:52And I'm walking on the treadmill for two hours talking.
00:55:54I never walk on the f***ing treadmill, bro.
00:55:56I know.
00:55:57I walk right past them, but I was actually on them.
00:56:00Yeah, chest, arms, back.
00:56:01I get it.
00:56:02Yeah, I know.
00:56:04But, yeah, man.
00:56:07Like, I really have, like, feelings for her,
00:56:10and I feel, like, happy motherf***er, like, to this day.
00:56:14Well, I mean, it's the first time I've seen you, like, really smile
00:56:17since you've been doing this, so I'm not going to lie.
00:56:19It's hard not to smile when I, like, talk about it.
00:56:21And where is she on all this?
00:56:23She's on this, the same page.
00:56:26Like, she likes me.
00:56:29She dropped that bomb on me this past weekend.
00:56:32We knew we had a connection.
00:56:33Yeah.
00:56:34We had a strong friendship, and that's where everything starts,
00:56:36is from that point on.
00:56:38And I honestly could see, like, after all this,
00:56:42whatever the f*** happens is, like, I would like to, you know, pursue that
00:56:46and, like, see where it goes.
00:56:48Because we honestly connect, man.
00:56:50We vibe.
00:56:51Like, she does s***, I do it.
00:56:52It goes to the gym.
00:56:53Like, dude, one time I was just going to compliment her on her physique
00:56:56when she was doing a back workout, but I look over her shoulder,
00:56:59she's literally drafting her fantasy football team.
00:57:02I'm like, get the f*** out of here, dude.
00:57:04I was like, what?
00:57:06You know, she golfs, she plays darts.
00:57:08Like, she's just a fun person to be around.
00:57:11You know my vibes.
00:57:12Like, just want to be around her all the f***ing time.
00:57:15I mean, that's amazing, man.
00:57:16I hope that...
00:57:17I hope it does, too.
00:57:18I hope something more sounds like that, man.
00:57:20But, yeah, so...
00:57:21So, what's the next step, then?
00:57:23That's what I'm trying to figure out, man.
00:57:25Like, I just...
00:57:26I could see being with her and taking...
00:57:29going down that path.
00:57:31Well, I mean, I'm glad you got...
00:57:32I mean, I'm glad you found something.
00:57:34You know, it's like meant to be.
00:57:35Like, everything happens for a reason, and it's just like...
00:57:38Exactly.
00:57:39If I never did this, I would have never, never met her.
00:57:41Yeah.
00:57:42But the one thing when I fell for her, bro,
00:57:45to be completely honest, is when we were on the treadmill.
00:57:48And she's like,
00:57:49David, can I tell you something?
00:57:51And I was like, what's up?
00:57:52And she's like,
00:57:53I don't want you to go back in your old ways.
00:57:55Like, because I was...
00:57:56We talked about my past.
00:57:57Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:57:58I was in my 20s.
00:57:59Those guys get to her.
00:58:00Like, hey, I'm f***ing great.
00:58:01Nobody's told me that I'm not f***ing...
00:58:02not looking good.
00:58:03I haven't heard that in 36 years of my life.
00:58:05But, yeah, when she said that, bro, it hit.
00:58:08Like, she was looking past me.
00:58:10She's seeing who I was for who I am
00:58:14and, like, how genuine I am and how hard I was trying.
00:58:17So that was, like, right there I felt that
00:58:20there was a connection.
00:58:22I was like...
00:58:23And I was like, damn.
00:58:24I can see myself being married to Madison
00:58:27when we get past whatever we're getting past through now.
00:58:32And if she feels the same way, then I'll roll with it.
00:58:35I wouldn't have no regrets on that.
00:58:38But I am scared.
00:58:39I'll be 100% that if I give all this harsh, like, 100
00:58:44to the other wife, like, maybe she's, like, there.
00:58:47Like, a little bit there, but not all the way.
00:58:49You don't want to press it.
00:58:50Yeah, and then it's just, like,
00:58:51then it f***s everything up.
00:58:52And then there goes our friendship, everything,
00:58:53and then I'm back to where I am.
00:58:55All right, let's go.
00:58:57I mean, obviously, you know she has a connection.
00:59:00Yeah, but I don't know if it's as hard.
00:59:02Like, where it's at and stuff.
00:59:03Exactly, because I've been keeping that s*** in.
00:59:04I've been playing it, you know.
00:59:05And she's juggling what she's got going on also.
00:59:08We got a lot of...
00:59:09Yeah, you don't want to press it too much,
00:59:10but you also want to let her know that I am interested.
00:59:13I'm, you know, have you told her
00:59:14that you're, like, interested and stuff like that?
00:59:16I think I've said a little bit,
00:59:18but I genuinely, it all goes back to that friendship,
00:59:22but I don't want to lose that now.
00:59:23And that's the scary part about it,
00:59:25is that we're good right now in our feelings
00:59:29and our friendship, and it's like,
00:59:31you need that to take to the next level.
00:59:33I mean, did you feel like, at all,
00:59:35that, like, Michelle kind of denied you
00:59:37and you don't want to get denied again?
00:59:39Yeah, I don't like getting denied.
00:59:41I know what I'm saying.
00:59:42No, it's f***ing hurtful. I get it, man.
00:59:44That's what I'm saying.
00:59:45I just, like, you know, you came here with one goal,
00:59:47and maybe that goal still comes out of this.
00:59:49But you definitely just got to let her know how you feel.
00:59:53Tell me about it.
00:59:55Yeah.
00:59:56Hey, babe, here we are.
00:59:59Pursue it, man.
01:00:05I don't want to hurt your feelings
01:00:09But you ain't making it easy, so
01:00:12I think you should go
01:00:15I think you should go
01:00:18Okay.
01:00:20I think you should go
01:00:22Oh, boy.
01:00:40Today's a little ominous, I feel like.
01:00:44I feel like there's a little bit of a dark cloud
01:00:46over this building, honestly.
01:00:48And I'm just anxious.
01:00:52I barely slept. I can really barely eat, honestly.
01:00:56I'm anxious about everything that's happened.
01:00:58I haven't talked to Alan. He doesn't want to talk to me.
01:01:01I feel like I'm the person that, you know,
01:01:04should have been the one to explain everything to him first.
01:01:07It's something that should have come from me,
01:01:09but I didn't have enough courage to say it out loud.
01:01:13I never wanted any of this to happen.
01:01:16I really didn't.
01:01:23Hey.
01:01:25I just got to the apartment.
01:01:27I'm just packing up.
01:01:30He ripped up a bunch of s***.
01:01:33Like what?
01:01:34Our wedding book, our vows, my vows.
01:01:39What the f***?
01:01:41Yeah.
01:01:43He, like, burned our photo.
01:01:45What?
01:01:46Yeah.
01:01:47Where did he leave all that?
01:01:49Just in plain sight.
01:01:53That's psycho behavior.
01:01:57Yeah.
01:01:59I know he's hurt, but, like...
01:02:01Right, but that's too far.
01:02:03It's really hard to see everything destroyed.
01:02:05It's hard to think about how he's feeling, you know,
01:02:09while he's doing it, and, you know...
01:02:15Like, it's heartbreaking, you know?
01:02:17I didn't want any of this.
01:02:19I didn't want him to feel this hurt.
01:02:22I don't know what to do. I feel so bad.
01:02:25I just, like, I want to apologize to Alan
01:02:27and, like, get to talk to him,
01:02:29but I don't know how to get him to, like, respond to me.
01:02:32And I feel awful, like...
01:02:35But I can't, like, I can't explain my side
01:02:37unless he talks to me.
01:02:39Right.
01:02:40I mean, he's probably not going to answer a call,
01:02:42but I would just be like,
01:02:44hey, like, I see you are really hurt,
01:02:48and I value you more than I think you realize,
01:02:54or that has been shown over this weekend,
01:02:56and I would love to be able to have a conversation with you,
01:03:00whether you want that to be on camera or off camera.
01:03:04Like, I just want to speak to you as my husband.
01:03:13Like, I feel like he just feels like
01:03:16everything we've been through, like, was a lie,
01:03:19or, like, we haven't experienced anything together,
01:03:21and I think that's just, like, it's so untrue,
01:03:24and it couldn't be farthest from, like...
01:03:26I want him to know that it wasn't just, like,
01:03:28me not, like, giving a...
01:03:31You know, like, obviously,
01:03:32I should have been more honest, like, earlier on,
01:03:34but, like, what do you even do with those feelings?
01:03:36Like...
01:03:37Right.
01:03:38In this situation, like, this is something
01:03:40that, like, nobody understands
01:03:42what it feels like to be in this position.
01:03:45Right.
01:03:49He's going to have to talk to you eventually.
01:03:52At this point, it's whatever he wants to do,
01:03:57you kind of got to go with.
01:03:58Yeah.
01:03:59But just making sure that he knows
01:04:01that, like, you're there to talk
01:04:04regardless of the show and, like, as his wife.
01:04:09Yeah, I know.
01:04:10And, like, I think that's what, like,
01:04:11is killing me the most.
01:04:12It's like...
01:04:14He hasn't been able to hear anything from me,
01:04:16and, like, him and I have been the ones
01:04:17that have, like, been through the most.
01:04:20And, like...
01:04:21Right.
01:04:22Like, just hearing how upset he was this weekend,
01:04:24like, my heart breaks for him.
01:04:26Like, I don't like feeling this way,
01:04:28and I don't like knowing that I hurt him.
01:04:30Like...
01:04:32This wasn't what I wanted.
01:04:34I want to talk to Alan so badly.
01:04:36I want him to look at me in the eye,
01:04:38and I want to tell him, like,
01:04:40everything that I've been feeling
01:04:41and how I, you know, wish I would have told him
01:04:44the moment that I started
01:04:45to catch any type of feeling.
01:04:46Like, we've gotten to know each other.
01:04:47We've spent every single day together almost
01:04:49for the last six or seven weeks.
01:04:51I feel like the worst person in the world right now.
01:04:54Like, I don't feel good at all.
01:04:57I guess this really is a final last goodbye
01:05:00If you don't want me to be the one to comfort you
01:05:04I guess I'm never gonna change your mind
01:05:07I guess we'll break it up now
01:05:10So how you holding up now?
01:05:13I know you're holding back now
01:05:17There's no turning back now
01:05:21I guess we'll break it up now
01:05:25There's no waking up now
01:05:28I guess we'll break it up
01:05:42Hello!
01:05:43Hey!
01:05:44Hello!
01:05:45Hi!
01:05:46Aren't you a vision in orange?
01:05:47Yes!
01:05:48Hello!
01:05:49At this point, we know that M.M. and EKG's marriage
01:05:53has not panned out in the way we had hoped
01:05:56when we matched them.
01:05:57But tonight, we want to get the two of them together
01:06:00and give them a chance to talk through
01:06:03any lingering issues
01:06:04and decide if there's anything worth salvaging
01:06:07or if they want to follow through
01:06:10and get a divorce.
01:06:12How you feeling?
01:06:13I'm feeling good.
01:06:14Are you?
01:06:15Feeling really good.
01:06:16How'd you get to that point?
01:06:17Um, I realized that no matter what I did,
01:06:22it was going to end in something that I did
01:06:27that caused a reaction.
01:06:29So I just kind of got peace from knowing
01:06:33that I tried my hardest.
01:06:34I feel like I was being myself from the beginning of this.
01:06:38I feel like I have tried to give him
01:06:42what he said he needed in those instances,
01:06:45and it was a moving end goal.
01:06:48He has emotionally tried to tear me down,
01:06:51and in the beginning, because I didn't know him,
01:06:54I gave it more weight than it should have had.
01:06:58It's very hard to realize that this person
01:07:01is saying things about you that aren't true.
01:07:04What do you wish for him now?
01:07:06My mom wishes him peace.
01:07:08Your mom wishes him, not as in rest in.
01:07:11That's funny. How much peace?
01:07:14I filled her in, and she's like,
01:07:16I hope that God grants him the peace that he's looking for.
01:07:20You didn't answer his question.
01:07:23Now me, I wish him the worst.
01:07:26Well, that's very human of you.
01:07:28I wish him the worst, okay?
01:07:31Look, whatever, you know what?
01:07:33He's going to lay in his own bed,
01:07:34and he's going to lay in it.
01:07:40Hi, come on in.
01:07:41Hi.
01:07:42Good evening.
01:07:43How you doing?
01:07:51So, we've been talking to your wife,
01:07:56and how would you explain
01:07:58what started to seem like a really nice match
01:08:01at the honeymoon that went cascading down
01:08:04and just kept never resurfacing
01:08:07in the way we might have hoped?
01:08:11Us not knowing each other enough,
01:08:13or just that discovery period just kind of went awry.
01:08:20And from there, it just kept spiraling downhill.
01:08:25You seemed to genuinely like each other in the beginning, no?
01:08:28I mean, it was genuine like.
01:08:31I just think that some events that happened
01:08:35just kind of deterred that like.
01:08:38Okay, there's something that I just want your perception on,
01:08:43because I just wondered how you thought this through.
01:08:46You come to the retreat
01:08:48with some kind of document of divorce,
01:08:51and then when everyone's at dinner, you announce it.
01:08:55Why did you do it that way?
01:08:57Help me understand that.
01:09:01I was...
01:09:02He wanted to embarrass me.
01:09:04I had no intention of coming there to embarrass you.
01:09:07Again, that was not my intention. I apologize for that.
01:09:10I think it's bulls***.
01:09:12That's what's up.
01:09:13Okay, um...
01:09:15I think it is a burning bag of dog s***.
01:09:21I'm sick of it. I don't even want to hear it no more.
01:09:24You should be ashamed of yourself. Really? Really?
01:09:28This is not a healthy way to communicate.
01:09:35And this is why I walk out.
01:09:37I'm trying to tell you he's talking about he walks out because why?
01:09:41I've apologized.
01:09:43It's bulls***.
01:09:45That's her feeling, as I understand it.
01:09:47But I'm about to leave,
01:09:49because being in this marriage doesn't feel good.
01:09:52It doesn't feel healthy.
01:09:53It just feels like it's very tiring.
01:09:57Mm-hmm.
01:09:58You know, as a married man,
01:10:00and I've been married for, you know, a while,
01:10:03I don't have the luxury of leaving when there's pressure.
01:10:08Understood.
01:10:09Because when you leave, you're saying,
01:10:12I don't want to talk about it no more,
01:10:14and I'm going to leave so that you cannot respond to me anymore.
01:10:18Okay.
01:10:22At this point, how do you feel here?
01:10:26Do you want to continue this marriage?
01:10:28No.
01:10:31And amen.
01:10:34I would definitely love a divorce.
01:10:40I wanted to write a letter on the ending of this,
01:10:44and I titled it, Letter to My Departed.
01:10:48I committed to this process and was prepared to see this through.
01:10:52However, you've been unstable this entire marriage.
01:10:56Your perception is your reality.
01:10:58Your reality is not based in fact.
01:11:01You are embarrassing.
01:11:04I would wish you well, but I'm God's favorite,
01:11:07and my well wishes won't be what gets you any further
01:11:09than where you are in your life.
01:11:12I wish you nothing but the worst.
01:11:15As a parting gift, I have prepared a list of therapists local to you.
01:11:19Also attached is documentation on how to properly complete
01:11:23a dissolution of marriage application
01:11:25since your single page was not legitimate.
01:11:28And you can take care.
01:11:37Okay. I guess we're done.
01:11:40Thank you guys, first of all, for participating.
01:11:43It took a lot. It really did.
01:11:46We don't take it lightly.
01:11:48We hope that this could have been successful,
01:11:50but I only wish success and real love in both your futures.
01:11:55I guess at this time you can just, you can leave now.
01:12:00But thank you.
01:12:02Tonight y'all got a taste of what I had to go through.
01:12:05And when I say it don't feel good,
01:12:08imagine like somebody coming at you sideways
01:12:12every opportunity that they got a chance.
01:12:15And yeah, it didn't feel good.
01:12:17It didn't feel good. It doesn't feel good to just sit here and be insulted.
01:12:20It doesn't feel good at all.
01:12:22I knew my decision.
01:12:24I knew that I wanted nothing to do with this marriage.
01:12:26I'd rather be old and single than miserably married.
01:12:31Mm. You know that was a little shady.
01:12:36Somebody had to say it.
01:12:39Someone had to say it.
01:12:41I charge for consultations, but this one's on the house.
01:12:48I wanted marriage,
01:12:50which is why I gave so many chances
01:12:52and so much grace during this process.
01:12:55But he put forth zero effort into this marriage from day one.
01:12:59His apologies were led with,
01:13:01if you felt that way, if you.
01:13:04Not, hey, I'm sorry I did this.
01:13:07So what's next for me will be bigger, better, growth, maturity.
01:13:14I'm looking forward to the next chapter.
01:13:30David and I are meeting with the experts tonight.
01:13:33You know, I don't really know how to feel about it, to be honest.
01:13:37You know, I'm trying to go into this optimistic and, you know,
01:13:43owning myself and my decisions and everything.
01:13:46But, you know, still understanding that this is this is my life
01:13:50and it's my feelings and it's my, you know, happiness.
01:13:54And, you know, I just I don't know exactly
01:13:59how the experts are going to approach this, I guess.
01:14:02And like my fear is I don't want to be berated.
01:14:07Like, I haven't handled the situation in the best way.
01:14:12I get it, but I'm human.
01:14:14And, you know, this isn't an easy thing to put yourself through.
01:14:18And nobody understands what it's like to be put in this situation.
01:14:22I just hope that going into today,
01:14:25the experts, you know, show me grace and compassion.
01:14:28And, you know, they can ask their questions.
01:14:31They can, you know, try to understand where I was coming from and what happened.
01:14:35But at the end of the day, like I'm not walking into this
01:14:39to be told that I did something wrong and to be told that I'm a bad person.
01:14:44I hope that they, you know, can see can see things from my side and from David's side.
01:14:50And not that they have to agree with it, per se, but, you know,
01:14:54want us both to be happy in whatever way that looks like.
01:14:58So I'm not looking forward to it, but I do think that it will be good.
01:15:10Hello.
01:15:11Hi.
01:15:12How's it going?
01:15:13Good, how are you?
01:15:14Oh, I've been better.
01:15:16Yeah, yeah, yeah, I can imagine.
01:15:18Hello there.
01:15:19Hi.
01:15:20Hello.
01:15:21How are you?
01:15:23Infidelity between two couples is unprecedented in Married at First Sight history
01:15:28and not something we condone.
01:15:30But we want to get to the bottom of things
01:15:32and find out how serious Madison and David have become
01:15:35and to discuss what their plans are moving forward.
01:15:40I would be lying to you if I said we weren't personally upset.
01:15:45And so it's extremely important that we get the truth.
01:15:52So you might want to start and tell us where and what happened
01:15:56and what's been going on and where you are now.
01:16:01Where it all started was in the gym,
01:16:05where we've made a connection,
01:16:07actually working out, walking on the treadmill,
01:16:10and literally talking about our marriages.
01:16:15You know, parallelly, you know, I did find myself catching feelings for David.
01:16:20I didn't know what to do.
01:16:21It was easy for us to just vibe with each other.
01:16:25You know, at some point it became like,
01:16:27oh, I'm on the treadmill for 45 minutes talking to David.
01:16:29And, you know, he would confide in me and I'd give him advice
01:16:33and I'd confide in him and he'd give me advice.
01:16:37I mean, it was just like, it was that friendship that we built.
01:16:41It was like, you want to make sure that she's okay.
01:16:43There's a lot going on right now on both sides.
01:16:46So it's, you know, that mental check-in is a big thing.
01:16:49Yeah, I think this last week we've just been making sure the other one's okay.
01:16:53And just to be honest, I'm not saying that we only have a relationship in the gym,
01:16:58but especially this last week, we've just communicated with each other
01:17:03to make sure we're okay and that's kind of where we've left it.
01:17:06And part of it is for that level of respect of keeping the distance
01:17:10and not wanting to, it's not just we're throwing it in people's faces
01:17:13of, oh, we're hanging out every day.
01:17:15That's not what we wanted from this.
01:17:17Have you been intimate?
01:17:19No.
01:17:20There's been no intimacy, just conversation?
01:17:22I mean, if you consider a hug, I mean, intimacy.
01:17:25David, the most you guys have done is a hug?
01:17:29Yes.
01:17:31Then how could you say in a text message that you want to eat her up?
01:17:36I don't shoot my shot, I'm a man.
01:17:38I got needs, haven't gotten any of those.
01:17:40I can't imagine being sent if you didn't know there was a recipient who would like that.
01:17:45It's very sexual.
01:17:47It's gone into that area.
01:17:49Are you telling me it didn't?
01:17:50It did not.
01:17:51I'm sorry.
01:17:52I can't sit here and pretend like this isn't what it is.
01:17:55I just can't.
01:17:57So I have to call you out right here, right now when you're lying
01:18:00about having an intimate sexual relationship with her.
01:18:04Here's where I have a problem.
01:18:06You feel comfortable enough to send that text,
01:18:10and you're saying that there was nothing, you guys were just buddies.
01:18:13Gym buddies.
01:18:14Gym buddies, and I'm going to send you a text saying you so ...
01:18:18Well, I don't think it's a surprise that we were sexually attracted to each other.
01:18:21I think there was definitely flirtation between us both.
01:18:24Right.
01:18:25What kept you from having sex?
01:18:27Because we were married.
01:18:30Why should we, at this point, believe that you're being honest?
01:18:35I mean, you guys can believe whatever you want.
01:18:37I can't make that judgment for you guys.
01:18:40How much do you feel that you guys, that this connection that you guys have,
01:18:45how much do you feel that this is just rebound emotions
01:18:48based on the misery you're experiencing in your marriage?
01:18:53Something else to throw in our pot of thinking.
01:18:56That's not where my mind goes initially, but I mean, I guess anything is possible.
01:19:02When we talked to you during the interview process,
01:19:04there were a few things you said you did not want.
01:19:06We talked to you several times about a person of color.
01:19:10You said no, you didn't.
01:19:12You said you want it.
01:19:13You have always dated white guys, and that's what you wanted.
01:19:16So for race, I've typically dated Caucasians.
01:19:20That's just kind of where I'm normally gone.
01:19:23I think that could expand potentially, but I don't know.
01:19:28Like, I don't want to say ...
01:19:29We don't experiment at that level here.
01:19:31Yeah, yeah.
01:19:32This is marriage.
01:19:33Right, it's marriage.
01:19:34Right? Am I right?
01:19:35No, you're not wrong.
01:19:36Yeah.
01:19:37And so if you were just meeting him on the street and all this was over,
01:19:41he wouldn't have a shot in hell.
01:19:44That's not necessarily ... I mean, not necessarily true.
01:19:47If you didn't know him.
01:19:48Well, I have dated black guys before.
01:19:50Okay, but we're talking about marriage.
01:19:52Yes, and that's why I had mentioned, I was like,
01:19:54if I'm marrying a complete stranger, a white guy would be my preference.
01:19:57Right, but if you were out there looking for a husband,
01:20:01and if your primary goal was to find a husband and you ran upon David,
01:20:07it would not click in your mind, hey, I want him for my husband.
01:20:11He wouldn't be in your top five.
01:20:14That's probably fair.
01:20:15Yeah, but the whole point of marriage is to create boundaries
01:20:18where even if I see someone attractive, I don't act on it.
01:20:23Even though I feel something, I go to my wife with it.
01:20:26I go to my spouse with it.
01:20:28You understand what I'm saying?
01:20:29The idea behind marriage, and you should know this,
01:20:31because your parents have been married forever.
01:20:34The idea is that we create boundaries around ourselves,
01:20:37and we don't allow ourselves to go into those forbidden areas.
01:20:42Did you value the marriage?
01:20:44Because you've gone outside of those boundaries emotionally.
01:20:47Now, I don't know if you have physically or not.
01:20:49It's only been emotionally, but it's like, was it really ever a marriage?
01:20:53Yes, it was. It was a marriage from day one.
01:20:57It was like just a one-way street. It was just me, me, me.
01:21:00And it was just like there was no reciprocation back.
01:21:04But you do know that she was turning the corner, by her own admission,
01:21:08the last time I met with you guys.
01:21:10She was turning the corner, but by that time,
01:21:12you had already developed a strong affinity for Madison.
01:21:16All we're saying here is that we understand feelings,
01:21:19but there's a proper way to do things.
01:21:22This wasn't it.
01:21:25What do you plan to do?
01:21:31I've got heavy, heavy feelings.
01:21:33I have not felt like this in a while.
01:21:35People see my face glow when they bring up your name.
01:21:39I feel that real, genuine connection.
01:21:42I'm submitting.
01:21:45I do have those stomach turns in a good manner.
01:21:51It's just a difficult situation that we're in now,
01:21:55and I would like to see something big turn out of this.
01:22:00I do see something that could be there with David, for sure,
01:22:04but it's not something that I want to rush into.
01:22:07It's not something that I want to focus on.
01:22:11You know, there's still a lot to learn about you.
01:22:15You know, the idea that being a rebound,
01:22:18that sucks.
01:22:19That's not something that I had thought about.
01:22:22But only time will tell.
01:22:36Next time on Married at First Sight.
01:22:39For those couples who haven't decided already,
01:22:42decision day is finally here.
01:22:45I don't even know what to expect.
01:22:47Like, where's this going? What's next?
01:22:50Anything could happen.
01:22:52He was in a nine-year relationship
01:22:54that ended up fizzling out in the end.
01:22:56What if he gets to that point with me?
01:22:59Would you like to stay married?
01:23:01Or do you want to get a divorce?
01:23:08And then...
01:23:09What's up, guys?
01:23:10Oh, hey, y'all.
01:23:13I'm more upset
01:23:14than I thought I would be with them walking in tonight.
01:23:17I think all of us knew that Michelle and David
01:23:19were not going to be together at the end of this.
01:23:22She didn't give a... to David.
01:23:24You want to wait till I get over there?
01:23:26Sure. You want to do this right now, babe?
01:23:28You really do.
01:23:30Take that... out. That'd be crazy.
