00:00:00Previously, Sierra and Billy both chose to leave the experiment and their marriage.
00:00:09You had a chance to say, you know what, I regret that, I'm sorry.
00:00:13And when the experts held Elliot to account, Elliot, what do you say to this?
00:00:18He apologised for abandoning Lauren.
00:00:20It might not ever be something that you'll forgive, but I'm sorry nonetheless.
00:00:26Thanks.
00:00:27Good job.
00:00:29I will be staying.
00:00:30I'm staying.
00:00:33Love blossomed for most of our couples.
00:00:36Those feelings are definitely there.
00:00:37I care about her so much.
00:00:39I really wasn't expecting to kind of click this quickly with someone.
00:00:42We've been intimate.
00:00:43Good job.
00:00:44I wrote sorry, leave.
00:00:49Athena drew her line in the sand with Adrian.
00:00:52Stay.
00:00:53With the rules of this experiment, one person says stay, the other says leave, they stay
00:00:57for another week to see if they can turn it around.
00:01:00It's on your shoulders to really do some big time lifting.
00:01:05Tonight.
00:01:06Wow, here we go.
00:01:10Our three newest couples move into the apartments.
00:01:13Oh, look, here is her.
00:01:15Oh my God, look.
00:01:17As they get a crash course in married life.
00:01:19Well, obviously this dirty, stinky rat goes there.
00:01:23I just kind of want to hear like your side.
00:01:25I feel so sorry for you.
00:01:27Elliot's about as shallow as a pond in a desert.
00:01:30But is Lauren poisoning Veronica and Elliot's well?
00:01:33Elliot is a narcissist.
00:01:34It is really disheartening to hear that inside into Elliot.
00:01:38Run.
00:01:40And then the next phase of the experiment begins.
00:01:44Where are our guests?
00:01:47Over two big nights.
00:01:50Hi guys.
00:01:51Family and friends week returns.
00:01:54You guys are happy.
00:01:55We are, we are.
00:01:56Our couples get much needed perspective.
00:01:58You've got to have each other's back.
00:02:00From their partner's loved ones.
00:02:02This is gaslighting.
00:02:05That's your interpretation of it, but that doesn't mean that it's true.
00:02:09But for Afina and Adrian.
00:02:11You are focusing a lot on the negatives because he hasn't even shown up.
00:02:15So let's just stop it there.
00:02:16I was talking to you.
00:02:17I don't care.
00:02:18When their families come together.
00:02:20How dare you?
00:02:22All hell breaks loose.
00:02:24Actually, I'm just.
00:02:25I don't need to listen to this.
00:02:26Goodbye.
00:02:27Pointless conversation.
00:02:28I'm done.
00:02:39Today marks an important milestone in the experiment.
00:02:42Hopefully we've got enough wardrobes.
00:02:44Thanks for all your luggage.
00:02:45With our newest couples moving into their apartments.
00:02:49We have Abutnevibeth and TJ.
00:02:53I think it was the penthouse or something like that.
00:02:55Starting over four weeks behind the others.
00:02:58Wow, here we go.
00:02:59It's the medal that we've been waiting for.
00:03:01Congratulations, you made it.
00:03:03They'll now be taking a crash course in the experiment.
00:03:06To help fast track their relationships.
00:03:09And get them to the same level as the other couples.
00:03:15Oh wow.
00:03:16How good's this?
00:03:17Oh wow.
00:03:18So spacious.
00:03:19Oh my gosh.
00:03:23Oh cute.
00:03:26Moving in together after a matter of days will be challenging.
00:03:30Oh my god, look.
00:03:34What?
00:03:35But it's a great way for our newest couples to learn.
00:03:38How the relationship could work in the real world.
00:03:41I'm so glad they got the shoes in.
00:03:43Those shoes are so cute.
00:03:44Do you reckon?
00:03:45Yeah, yeah.
00:03:46Look at us.
00:03:48I can't believe this.
00:03:50This has the potential to help them deepen their bonds.
00:03:53Build trust and create some much needed intimacy.
00:03:58See look, you don't need much space in the bed.
00:04:03Oh there's a picture of us in the bed.
00:04:05Oh my god, I love it.
00:04:06Oh my god.
00:04:07Where is that?
00:04:08That's really nice.
00:04:09Oh how pretty.
00:04:11Oh you look so cute.
00:04:12School formal.
00:04:13Remember that day like it was yesterday.
00:04:15Oh my god, this is so nice.
00:04:16This is so nice.
00:04:17Feels amazing.
00:04:18Like seeing our names on the door.
00:04:20I'm so happy to be here.
00:04:21I think we'll go very well living together.
00:04:27Don't drop me.
00:04:28That was good wasn't it?
00:04:29That was very good.
00:04:32Right?
00:04:33He makes me laugh so much.
00:04:35Like I honestly, I have so much fun with him.
00:04:38He makes me laugh and I literally have tears coming out of my eyes.
00:04:40So he's just so much fun to be around.
00:04:42So I just love living with him.
00:04:44He's great.
00:04:45Is it hot?
00:04:46Of course it's hot.
00:04:47Huh?
00:04:48Yeah, of course it's hot.
00:04:49Me?
00:04:50Ah.
00:04:51He's smacking me bum.
00:04:52He calls me sugar tush.
00:04:53He loves my little tushy.
00:04:54I think we'll be great.
00:04:56Green flags everywhere.
00:04:59Oh this is so nice isn't it?
00:05:00This is luxury living.
00:05:01It is.
00:05:02I love it.
00:05:03Let's go home.
00:05:06Can we open the door?
00:05:07Get some fresh air in?
00:05:08Yeah.
00:05:12You're not going to do us one?
00:05:17We could have balcony parties.
00:05:19Yeah.
00:05:20Well.
00:05:21There we go.
00:05:22Hopefully you're better at being a husband than you are at opening doors.
00:05:26We just moved into the apartment.
00:05:28Which is further than I got with Elliot.
00:05:31I need to do actually quite a bit of washing.
00:05:33I actually enjoy washing.
00:05:35Do you?
00:05:36Do you like washing?
00:05:37Yeah, I think it's a girl's job.
00:05:39Really?
00:05:40Yeah.
00:05:41What are you saying?
00:05:43I'm saying just leave the washing to me.
00:05:46Um, I actually really want to do the washing.
00:05:50Oh God.
00:05:52I mean I've never met a man that wants to do washing.
00:05:55For me gender roles are very important.
00:05:58I want to look after and like serve my husband.
00:06:00That makes me happy.
00:06:02So, um, we'll see.
00:06:09Not this again.
00:06:12As our newlyweds are just settling in.
00:06:16Elsewhere an original groom is moving out.
00:06:22What the f***?
00:06:24That is the most aggressive knock.
00:06:31Hey guys!
00:06:34Honey, I'm home!
00:06:37Who's this?
00:06:38These are my kids.
00:06:39And I've got one last favour to ask.
00:06:42Can you look after my kids please?
00:06:44Yes.
00:06:45They need to be looked after.
00:06:47We need this.
00:06:48You need to look after Myla and Penny.
00:06:51Come on.
00:06:54Billy came and dropped us off fish and now I'm a fish mum.
00:07:01A bloody fish mum.
00:07:03This is filthy.
00:07:04It is.
00:07:05This is probably why.
00:07:06There's been shitting all over the place.
00:07:07This is the epitome of yours and Sierra's relationship.
00:07:10It's just a f***ing bowl of shit.
00:07:12A dirty tank.
00:07:13What the f*** is this?
00:07:14I mean I'm not going to argue with you there.
00:07:16And if I come home and the fish is dead.
00:07:17Because I don't know how to look after a fish.
00:07:18And also I'm out to look after a fish.
00:07:19And now I'm going to have two dead fish.
00:07:21And I feel like also he's a bad juju.
00:07:24Like this was Sierra and Billy's babies.
00:07:26And look what happened to their relationship.
00:07:28I'm going to miss you bro.
00:07:29I'm going to miss you brother.
00:07:30Thanks for everything.
00:07:31Appreciate you loads.
00:07:33See you later.
00:07:34Alright.
00:07:35And I'm rooting for both of you guys.
00:07:38On a positive note my relationship is going really well.
00:07:42Are you going to be okay?
00:07:43Yeah I'll be alright.
00:07:44I'm just sad.
00:07:45I'm great mates with Billy.
00:07:46And I'm going to miss him so much.
00:07:47But also I'm pretty proud of Jamie and I to be honest.
00:07:53Like I said coming into this experience.
00:07:55It's sort of you don't know which way you're going to go.
00:07:58And you don't know lots up in the air.
00:08:00All the extras just smile when we talk.
00:08:02Look back at our friends in the group.
00:08:03And sort of you know show them that it can work.
00:08:07You've got to just put in the time.
00:08:09I think you sort of from the start.
00:08:11I had Jamie's back.
00:08:12You know she's let me know that she's got mine.
00:08:14So it's really blossomed into this relationship.
00:08:18And they say we're like the strong couple.
00:08:21Leading from the front.
00:08:22Yeah we're the leaders of the pack.
00:08:25While Jamie and Dave continue to move forward with ease.
00:08:29You're the only one Tony.
00:08:30Marenna and Tony are simply retreading familiar ground.
00:08:34I don't think any of them any of them headlock their women.
00:08:39I've asked him to stop headlocking me.
00:08:42And he still does it.
00:08:43And you remember how well on the head he does it.
00:08:45That's how I show sometimes my affection and my touch and things like that.
00:08:49A headlock is affection.
00:08:53Okay.
00:08:54I don't like that.
00:08:56That's my way of just being nice to you.
00:08:58I don't hurt you.
00:08:59What I've got from the couch is that.
00:09:03I'm going to keep my comments down to a bare minimum.
00:09:05Like still going to be myself.
00:09:07And still be Tony.
00:09:09And see how she handles it with the less comments and the jokes and the hug locks.
00:09:15And the fist pumps.
00:09:20Down the hallway.
00:09:21Athena and Adrian are still very much staying in separate rooms.
00:09:26Following a tumultuous commitment ceremony.
00:09:30You know I heard everything Athena had to say tonight.
00:09:33She wasn't being seen and she was unheard.
00:09:36And the only way to fix that was say.
00:09:40Say.
00:09:49You know at Confessions Week we all had to write letters.
00:09:52I went through my drawer today and I read through it.
00:09:55And at the end of it I wrote.
00:09:57Now being a mum you have to put your child first.
00:10:00And now here I am being selfish.
00:10:02Missing out on real milestones in the pursuit of love.
00:10:05I guess time will tell if I made the right decision or not.
00:10:10And coming on this experiment.
00:10:13How I felt today didn't feel worth being away from those very real milestones.
00:10:19So yeah I'm.
00:10:22Yeah I wrote.
00:10:24I wrote sorry leave.
00:10:28Now as per the rules of the experiment.
00:10:31Athena will continue in the relationship.
00:10:34Following her husband Adrian's decision to stay.
00:10:37Giving them another week to work on their relationship.
00:10:43Hey.
00:10:44What's happened?
00:10:47Not a lot. How about you?
00:10:49Give me a hug.
00:10:51I wrote stay for a reason.
00:10:52And I'm willing to put in the effort.
00:10:54She should be grateful I wrote stay.
00:10:58How are you feeling after last night?
00:11:01Feeling pretty flat.
00:11:03Are you feeling the same?
00:11:05Yeah.
00:11:06Just like tired?
00:11:07Yeah.
00:11:09How are you feeling about us?
00:11:12I haven't really got any.
00:11:16Feelings on it right now.
00:11:18During last night obviously feelings don't necessarily change overnight.
00:11:22But I mean looking forward to the future.
00:11:25And today and onwards.
00:11:27Do you think you know we can come back together?
00:11:29Do you think you know we can come back from the past few days?
00:11:34You know?
00:11:35If I'm willing to put the effort in like I said last night.
00:11:37I need to know you're willing to do the same.
00:11:41Because it takes two to tango.
00:11:43You know what I'm saying?
00:11:45Yeah it definitely does take two to tango.
00:11:48I'm sorry but you don't just go to a
00:11:51commitment ceremony and sit down and just be like
00:11:53okay my feelings that I was feeling are now gone.
00:11:56And I completely forgive you.
00:11:57And let's just go back to how we were before
00:11:59where I was doing 85% of the work and you were doing 15%.
00:12:02Because I heard them say it takes two to tango.
00:12:04I know because I've been tangoing on my own for the last four weeks so.
00:12:08I think the last past few weeks
00:12:11not just the weekend in itself
00:12:13we've been speaking a lot
00:12:14about the past and obviously the issues
00:12:16and I think we just need to be more transparent
00:12:18and more open and understanding most importantly
00:12:20of why we are feeling the way we're feeling
00:12:22on both ends.
00:12:24And accepting that.
00:12:27Mmm.
00:12:29What are you thinking?
00:12:31Do you know what I would have really loved?
00:12:33You walked in this morning and said
00:12:35hey I know last night went the way it did
00:12:39but I truly am sorry.
00:12:42Like I truly didn't see how me leaving Friday
00:12:45my ring on the counter, going out for dinner
00:12:47Saturday night for Sierra
00:12:49not telling you about it for 24 hours
00:12:51not texting you, not checking in on you
00:12:53and then coming in expecting an apology.
00:12:55I truly didn't see how that
00:12:57could come across as a bad
00:12:59thing for you.
00:13:01I would have really appreciated an apology.
00:13:04Honestly I'm really struggling to have this conversation right now.
00:13:08Or even just talk about feelings in general.
00:13:10I'm not even talking about feelings.
00:13:12I don't even want to talk about it.
00:13:14I'm literally just talking about going forward.
00:13:16I'm not talking about feelings
00:13:18I'm not talking about
00:13:20they have to relive what we already know and speak about.
00:13:22I'm not wanting to relive anything.
00:13:24Like hear me right now
00:13:26I don't want to talk about anything right now.
00:13:32It's been intense.
00:13:34A few weeks.
00:13:40He doesn't cater to me at all.
00:13:42He doesn't ask me questions.
00:13:44Also, at the end of last night's
00:13:46commitment ceremony
00:13:48he ended it with
00:13:50I understand Athena's giving up a lot to be here
00:13:53because she's got her son back home.
00:13:55My son who I
00:13:57he has not asked me one time
00:13:59since I've met him
00:14:01how my son is. Not once.
00:14:03I mean I think
00:14:05we've both got some work to do
00:14:07and that's pretty much it really.
00:14:09We're both on a similar page
00:14:11to where we stand right now.
00:14:13And moving forward
00:14:15I think I have some hope
00:14:17that we can get back to
00:14:19how we were.
00:14:21Don't get too excited.
00:14:25Hi!
00:14:27Coming up, friends and family
00:14:29week gets underway.
00:14:31Can I be downstairs?
00:14:33And things go
00:14:35from bad. Have you been crying?
00:14:37No. Just been sleeping actually.
00:14:39To worse for Athena and
00:14:41Adrian. You deserve more
00:14:43than this. Actually I'm just
00:14:45I don't need to listen to this shit. Goodbye. Pointless conversation.
00:14:47It is. It really is. You can't breeze it.
00:14:49Very ridiculous. I'm done.
00:14:57With the start of a new week
00:14:59our original couples
00:15:01are about to enter the next
00:15:03exciting stage of the experiment.
00:15:05Family and friends week.
00:15:07Excited? I'm excited
00:15:09to see everyone.
00:15:11How do you think it's going to go?
00:15:13I don't really know.
00:15:15Usually when I hang out with family
00:15:17I just sit down and have a really good time.
00:15:19In the past
00:15:21we have seen this week
00:15:23make or break some of our couples.
00:15:25The opinions and influence
00:15:27of loved ones can sometimes have a
00:15:29positive and constructive impact
00:15:31or a devastating one
00:15:33on our couple's relationships.
00:15:35Where are we at?
00:15:37This is what I'm thinking. Where's it going?
00:15:39But the goal remains the same
00:15:41for our couples to reflect on the journey
00:15:43so far and to identify
00:15:45and address any issues that may have
00:15:47come up during their time in the experiment
00:15:49with the help and support
00:15:51of the people who know them best.
00:15:53Hi!
00:15:55Hi guys!
00:15:57Rhi and Jeff are meeting Rhi's cousin Shana
00:15:59Hello!
00:16:01Mum Cheryl
00:16:03and sister Emily.
00:16:05Hi, nice to meet you.
00:16:07Nice to meet you.
00:16:09All any parent ever wants is for their child to be happy.
00:16:11That's all we ever want.
00:16:14So um
00:16:16hopefully I'll get down to the nitty gritty with her.
00:16:18Tell mumma.
00:16:20And Jeff's mates Lachlan and Cameron.
00:16:22Hey brother!
00:16:24Good to see you mate.
00:16:26This is Rhi and this is Cameron.
00:16:28I think it would be good to find out
00:16:30if they've got a connection first and foremost
00:16:32I think that's important
00:16:34how they've been going, living together.
00:16:36How are you guys going with the experiment?
00:16:38Yeah, we're actually going really good
00:16:40considering obviously we knew each other
00:16:42and like turning around and knowing each other
00:16:44was a bit of a shock
00:16:46because you think you're going to marry a stranger.
00:16:48That's actually wild.
00:16:50Do you feel like it took away from the day at all for you though?
00:16:52For me personally I was like expecting a stranger
00:16:54so like it was no disappointment
00:16:56that it was Rhi by any means
00:16:58but it was like I was expecting that
00:17:00I had my mind fixated on that
00:17:02and then that didn't happen
00:17:04and I was a bit like oh.
00:17:06But now where we're at I'm like
00:17:08I couldn't be more thankful
00:17:10It was an experiment, like a lot of struggling
00:17:12and like we've just really had no struggles
00:17:14Nah, it's been good.
00:17:16Are you both glad now that you didn't get matched with a stranger?
00:17:18Like are you glad that it's each other?
00:17:20Now we are.
00:17:22Like I've said this before
00:17:24But not in terms of just being comfortable
00:17:26like in terms of finding love?
00:17:28Thank you for making it so deep so quickly
00:17:30Shay Chay
00:17:32We've got loads of time guys, come on
00:17:34When we were on our honeymoon
00:17:36we were like quite separate
00:17:38We slept in the same bed
00:17:40but we weren't obviously affectionate
00:17:42or anything like that
00:17:44and I remember in the honeymoon thinking
00:17:46I don't know if there's ever going to be
00:17:48anything more than this friendship
00:17:50but then we had to do Confessions Week
00:17:52and then we had to do Intimacy Week
00:17:54So those two weeks of Confessions Week
00:17:56and Intimacy Week progressed our relationship
00:17:58quite a lot because we had to really open up
00:18:00It's just like what you said
00:18:02it's taken us to a new level
00:18:04and advanced our relationship by like light years
00:18:06It's sort of pushed it a year forward
00:18:08almost, that's how it feels
00:18:10Rhi knows me better than a lot of people
00:18:12in my life
00:18:1499% of people in my life
00:18:16I've said things to Rhi that people don't know
00:18:18Do you struggle getting Noel alone time?
00:18:20I guess alone time for us is
00:18:22we don't have a lot
00:18:24Getting your hair cut and getting my nails done
00:18:26But even then I'm happy
00:18:28to spend literally every second with Rhi
00:18:30and when I'm by myself
00:18:32I'm just like, where is she?
00:18:35She's pretty lovely
00:18:37Yeah, extremely lucky
00:18:39Eyes tell everything, you can look in someone's eyes
00:18:41and when you've got children and you're so invested in their future
00:18:43when you've got someone sitting next to them
00:18:45you really, you listen
00:18:47and you observe and I think he's lovely
00:18:49Honestly, I do
00:18:51You know, they're warming
00:18:53and loving and caring
00:18:55and they just want what's best for Rhi
00:18:57and the vibe I've got of family is at the moment Rhi's happy
00:18:59and that's all they care about
00:19:01and they want to know that she's been taken care of
00:19:03which I feel like I'm doing
00:19:05so yeah, I feel like I've passed the family test
00:19:07So you guys have had no issues
00:19:09throughout the experiment at all?
00:19:11Not with us
00:19:13Like there was a bit of drama with another couple
00:19:15The couple together
00:19:17or like the girl or the boy?
00:19:19Um
00:19:21So she reached out to Jeff
00:19:23and wanted to catch up with Jeff
00:19:25for a coffee without me there
00:19:27What?
00:19:29Yeah
00:19:31Ha ha ha ha
00:19:33Ha ha ha ha
00:19:35Ha ha ha ha
00:19:45I'm feeling great about having some mates over
00:19:47Yeah
00:19:49They're from completely different areas
00:19:51completely different backgrounds
00:19:53Alright, there's going to be like
00:19:55a lot of different energies around
00:19:57Can't wait to get my bro a beer
00:19:59Where are our guests?
00:20:01Oh, I don't have a watch
00:20:03Yeah, can you get cracking?
00:20:05Who is it?
00:20:07Trick or treat
00:20:09Ahhhh
00:20:11Ha ha ha
00:20:13Oh sorry
00:20:15Ha ha ha
00:20:17Jackie deserves
00:20:19someone who's
00:20:21worthy of her, she's 100% in
00:20:23you know, she opens her heart
00:20:25she just fears it all
00:20:27She's so truthful and honest
00:20:29Oh Gorgeous
00:20:31L.A.V. Nuts
00:20:33The beacons are lit
00:20:35Oh my brother
00:20:37Usually he's the most
00:20:39happy, positive guy you'd meet
00:20:41Always
00:20:43It's next level, you know
00:20:45and just a few times I've spoken to him on the phone
00:20:47that spark in his voice is in there, 100%
00:20:49like he's like dealing with shit, stuff, sorry
00:20:51Let's have a toast
00:20:53to everyone coming together
00:20:55Cheers
00:20:59Mmm
00:21:01That's a tasty job that one
00:21:03It is
00:21:05Hey, how are you two been getting along?
00:21:07Ha ha ha
00:21:09I wanna know
00:21:11Our relationship was probably
00:21:13we started off, we were probably
00:21:15the second strongest couple coming into
00:21:17after the honeymoons
00:21:19How was the honeymoons?
00:21:21It was the most luxurious place in Australia
00:21:23Where did you guys go?
00:21:25It was in Adelaide Hills
00:21:27Oh beautiful
00:21:29We mixed things up too, I did my first ever yoga set
00:21:31Oh right
00:21:33Didn't fall over
00:21:35Speaking of fall over, how was your concussion after the wedding?
00:21:37Ha ha ha
00:21:39Ha ha ha
00:21:41Oh my god
00:21:45I'm so sorry
00:21:47He just ruined everything
00:21:49Ha ha ha
00:21:51You wanna talk Brian or should I?
00:21:53He redeemed himself really well after that though
00:21:55Did he?
00:22:09How was your concussion after the wedding?
00:22:11Ha ha ha
00:22:13He redeemed himself
00:22:15really well after that though, did he?
00:22:17How was your concussion after the wedding?
00:22:19He didn't actually do anything
00:22:21to make it up to me
00:22:23Yeah but it's not something he should grovel over
00:22:25Like I thought that was hilarious
00:22:27You should just turn around and be like
00:22:29that was pretty funny
00:22:31I felt really horrible for her as well
00:22:33cause first dance is so undignified, you know what I mean?
00:22:35It would've been bad if he just kinda
00:22:37left it at that
00:22:39Don't interrupt her
00:22:43The reason why I was crying is because
00:22:45that night I was seen by a paramedic
00:22:47to check on my head
00:22:49It wasn't the drop
00:22:51It was the fact that you didn't find out
00:22:53I was seen by a paramedic until a week later
00:22:55when I told you because you didn't ask
00:22:57That's why I was crying
00:22:59I can't believe we're talking about
00:23:01the wedding drop still
00:23:03Man, that's some bullshit
00:23:05Ha ha
00:23:07Don't have these massive hangups about it
00:23:09Don't keep pulling things back to that moment
00:23:11to try and make a point
00:23:13Um, I cry about it
00:23:17I cry about a lot of things
00:23:19That's what makes Jackie so special
00:23:21Agree to disagree
00:23:23No, this is gaslighting
00:23:29That's your interpretation of it
00:23:31but that doesn't mean that it's true
00:23:33Are you feeling hurt and are you feeling hurt
00:23:35or is it just one of those I need to be hurt
00:23:37and that's the end of the story
00:23:39cause that's what it sounds like
00:23:41Well, I think as we went along
00:23:43we did have some difficulties
00:23:45communicating with empathy
00:23:47and trying to find emotional common ground
00:23:49Yeah, absolutely
00:23:51and that threw some spanners in the works too
00:23:53We were doing the intimacy session
00:23:55with Alexandra, right
00:23:57and I got a little bit too comfortable
00:23:59a little bit too candid
00:24:01with the other gentlemen sitting around
00:24:03so I made a little follow-on joke
00:24:05about what one of the other grooms
00:24:07had said about Jackie
00:24:09and his name was Jake
00:24:11and he was actually making jokes
00:24:13pretty disrespectful ones about all the other brides
00:24:15and he actually told Jackie in front of everyone
00:24:17he said, oh Jackie, I said you had crazy eyes
00:24:25I'll take it
00:24:27Yeah, I loved it
00:24:29But then, what did you say?
00:24:33One thing I was about to be called out
00:24:35I've got to take ownership of
00:24:37I said, oh you know, it's not all bad
00:24:41She gives awesome s***
00:24:49They obviously
00:24:51were a little bit shocked by it
00:24:53and like, as most people would be
00:24:55For me, a gentleman
00:24:57doesn't kiss and tell, it's kind of a marker
00:24:59Yeah, I don't think
00:25:01I've ever had partners that would talk about
00:25:03you know, all of that
00:25:05That's personal
00:25:07I apologised in front of everybody
00:25:09and yeah, that's on me
00:25:11That's a goose moment
00:25:13That's a goose moment
00:25:15Thank you
00:25:17Yeah, I don't mind owning my mistakes
00:25:19I've got no problem at all
00:25:21One thing to remember when we first had our friendship
00:25:23Jackie said to me, by the way
00:25:25I'm a friend that needs, I need constant reassurance
00:25:27and I'm like, that's okay, I can give that
00:25:29and you said that's a friend
00:25:31let alone a partner
00:25:33Have you spoken about your difference?
00:25:35Yeah, constant reassurance is
00:25:37I think, can be very difficult
00:25:39But also
00:25:41you've also got to understand
00:25:43from his perspective, he hasn't been in a relationship
00:25:45for a while, he hasn't needed to do that sort of stuff
00:25:47so he's trying to learn and evolve
00:25:49into being in a relationship
00:25:51so with these sorts of things
00:25:53you need to also help him, give him a little
00:25:55kick up the arse, say where's my compliments today?
00:25:57She does
00:25:59She goes, how's my arse look today?
00:26:01Yeah, babe
00:26:03Yeah, that's true
00:26:05To just get the most important points
00:26:07out from Carla and Adam has been
00:26:09helpful because it allows me to connect more deeply
00:26:11with Ryan and understand, see him
00:26:13for who he is and understand
00:26:15where he's coming from and maybe just
00:26:17appreciate his actions for what they are
00:26:19So like we said to everyone, we're going to
00:26:21press the reset button, we're going to be a team, we're going to stand united
00:26:23and have I not cheered you up on
00:26:25multiple, multiple occasions, given you hugs
00:26:27especially when you haven't been crying and whatnot
00:26:29A lot of the times that's what I do
00:26:31There's like a lot of good things
00:26:33I love that, that makes me happy
00:26:35There's a lot of good things and there's a lot of things we're working through
00:26:37And they're the things that you need to really focus on
00:26:39because like yeah, you're trying to navigate and figure
00:26:41each other out and I'm not saying you're always wrong
00:26:43in everything that you're trying to get across and nor is
00:26:45Ryan, it's just you're literally trying to navigate
00:26:47and it's really nice to see that you can
00:26:49acknowledge and appreciate that and so can he
00:26:51Like that's a really good start
00:26:53I've been struggling to understand
00:26:55him, where he's coming from
00:26:57Like I've always known from the beginning
00:26:59he's got the right intentions but I've never really understood
00:27:01why he's behaving the way he is and now
00:27:03listening to Adam and Carla actually explain
00:27:05where Ryan's coming from, it was really
00:27:07helpful in a weird way
00:27:09Should we do one last cheers?
00:27:11Alright Edgy, toast!
00:27:13Cheers big ears, let's get over the bullshit and be happy yeah?
00:27:15Yeah, cheers
00:27:17Cheers, thanks for coming guys
00:27:19Thank you, you're very welcome
00:27:21For our newest couples
00:27:23it is their first night
00:27:25staying in their apartments
00:27:27Hi!
00:27:29And original brides
00:27:31Rhi and Karina are taking this
00:27:33opportunity to welcome Beth
00:27:35into her new home
00:27:37Come on in
00:27:39Donny, not for you though babe
00:27:41It's girls night, you need to go
00:27:43You're joking
00:27:45Not for you
00:27:47Sorry babe
00:27:49Sorry babe
00:27:51Bye
00:27:53Yum
00:27:55I am
00:27:57so keen for all of this
00:27:59Well isn't this
00:28:01a cute little ladies night?
00:28:03Cheers
00:28:07I'm obsessed, I went straight
00:28:09for the chicken
00:28:11Oh my god
00:28:13How are you and TJ?
00:28:15Yeah I feel like you do compare yourself
00:28:17to everybody else in the experiment
00:28:19and it's hard because it's even more fast paced for us
00:28:21because we've come in late
00:28:23but sometimes you kind of do have to take a step back
00:28:25and be like okay we're actually doing well
00:28:27in the amount of time we've been here
00:28:29I have been initiating more like touching
00:28:31like we've cuddled on the couch, we had a nap together
00:28:33it's felt nice today
00:28:35like it's felt really comfortable
00:28:37That's good
00:28:39I'm now just being myself and I feel confident
00:28:41so I'm feeling really good now
00:28:43While Beth continues to relish
00:28:45the successful start
00:28:47to her relationship with TJ
00:28:49down the hall
00:28:51new bride Veronica
00:28:53is struggling with some concerns
00:28:55she has about her marriage
00:28:57and has decided to reach out
00:28:59to the one other person in the experiment
00:29:01who has first hand experience
00:29:03with Elliot
00:29:05his ex-wife Lauren
00:29:07I thought it would be humorous
00:29:09to take her some margaritas
00:29:11because we learnt at the last dinner party
00:29:13so much
00:29:15we had a whole conversation
00:29:17that we agreed that we weren't right for each other
00:29:19and that didn't happen
00:29:21you had about five margaritas so
00:29:23oh my god
00:29:25don't even mate
00:29:27well it's the truth
00:29:29the way that Elliot
00:29:31communicated with Lauren at the dinner party
00:29:33that's obviously a massive red flag
00:29:35for me
00:29:37okay I bought you these
00:29:39they're margaritas
00:29:41I would really appreciate a chat with Lauren
00:29:43she's the only other person who's ever had
00:29:45any time with him
00:29:47who can really say
00:29:49what her first hand experience was with him
00:29:51because I really don't feel
00:29:53like I know the real Elliot
00:29:55that's actually
00:29:57part of the reason why I
00:29:59come here
00:30:01I just kind of want to hear your side
00:30:03fully
00:30:05so I can better understand what I'm dealing with
00:30:07when I met you at the dinner
00:30:09I was like you're awesome
00:30:11but I feel so sorry for you
00:30:13I feel like you can do a million times better
00:30:15it's like he's a difficult person
00:30:17he's just so full of shit
00:30:19like
00:30:21I just
00:30:23okay at the dinner party
00:30:25when he said that to you I was furious
00:30:27like that's a huge issue for me
00:30:29and then at the commitment ceremony
00:30:31he was really
00:30:33doing his absolute best
00:30:35to try and put his best foot forward in front of the group
00:30:37I just don't think it's going to last long
00:30:39because I don't know how long Elliot can
00:30:41keep up the facade
00:30:43I don't know why he's here
00:30:45I do feel sorry for her
00:30:47but it's just the truth
00:30:49like Elliot's about as shallow as a
00:30:51pond in a desert
00:30:53he has literally no depth to him
00:30:55I think he's very narcissistic
00:30:57and she's going to find out very quickly
00:30:59even more so if she doesn't already know that
00:31:01she probably should
00:31:03run
00:31:05I just thought like
00:31:07coming back he would be trying to
00:31:09save face or like redeem himself
00:31:11like one of my friends was in a relationship
00:31:13with a narcissist for like 10 years
00:31:15and what I have learnt from her
00:31:17is that like they don't actually have real
00:31:19feelings so I do
00:31:21feel like Elliot is a narcissist
00:31:23okay
00:31:25but yeah I really
00:31:27was hoping that he would be different
00:31:29for you I really was
00:31:31even though
00:31:33she has her own experience
00:31:35with him it is really disheartening
00:31:37to hear that inside into Elliot
00:31:39and so
00:31:41I don't feel good
00:31:45how's everything going with you
00:31:47my husband's lovely
00:31:49he got me flowers yesterday
00:31:51oh my god

00:33:23next up with the photo ranking task
00:33:25are Lauren and Clint
00:33:27Lauren would rather they didn't have to use
00:33:29photos at all
00:33:31I'd actually rather they brought the people
00:33:33and we can line them up against the wall
00:33:35rather than using photos
00:33:37nervous
00:33:39not at all really
00:33:41you seem so confident
00:33:43I'm just a confident person
00:33:45Marina
00:33:47she's actually lovely
00:33:49it's just age
00:33:51Beth I just don't know her
00:33:53so what about her boobs
00:33:55it's probably not something
00:33:57I even noticed to be honest
00:33:59Jamie
00:34:01Jamie was quite vocal at dinner party
00:34:03maybe that would be
00:34:05a bit too much for me
00:34:07Jackie
00:34:09physically on appearance
00:34:11I actually would have ranked her higher
00:34:13really do you think she's more
00:34:15attractive than Jamie? I do
00:34:17she's quite natural
00:34:19I think she looks rough
00:34:21really
00:34:23I think she's very driven in her career
00:34:25something like that's very attractive
00:34:27to me
00:34:29I would even put Marina in front of Jackie
00:34:31she should go in for
00:34:33Jackie
00:34:35I heard that
00:34:37he likes scruffy women
00:34:39who have a
00:34:41strong driving career
00:34:43top
00:34:45three
00:34:47I've gone with kindness
00:34:49I think that elevates their attractiveness
00:34:51cool
00:34:53can I reveal the big one now?
00:34:55yeah
00:34:57do you want to move out the way so you can put it down here
00:34:59I could pretend to go back and forth
00:35:01all over the place but
00:35:03it's pretty easy for me and it's
00:35:05not even putting you here it's actually putting you
00:35:07like up here
00:35:09aww that's so nice
00:35:11yeah I think
00:35:13there's only one place
00:35:15it's daylight between you and the rest
00:35:17Clint has
00:35:19voiced many times that he
00:35:21is attracted to me so
00:35:23I would have expected him to put me first
00:35:25can I keep this?
00:35:27yeah
00:35:29obviously this
00:35:31dirty stinky rat goes there
00:35:33worst character
00:35:35worst smell
00:35:37hasn't washed his hair in five years
00:35:39this guy I don't know
00:35:41his name he looks like a bit of a thumb
00:35:43I don't
00:35:45know how Lauren will rank me
00:35:47she's a very direct person
00:35:49Pony?
00:35:51I feel nothing
00:35:53like she's very honest she's 100% honest
00:35:55what you see with Lauren is what you get
00:35:57Dave?
00:35:59normally like you know neck tats
00:36:01would not be my thing
00:36:03don't like try and go after throat tats now
00:36:05as much as you think we've got a connection
00:36:07and we're getting along and she does like me
00:36:09you never know what surprises could come up
00:36:11a bit nerve wracking now
00:36:13ooh
00:36:15um
00:36:17ooh
00:36:19you're the winner
00:36:21really right up there
00:36:23well your like traits of you know making sure
00:36:25I'm okay all the time just being like a
00:36:27really great partner you know you obviously
00:36:29dress well you've got clean teeth
00:36:31you don't smell
00:36:33um
00:36:35that could have been a curve ball but luckily
00:36:37thankfully
00:36:39I was up the top
00:36:41you're number one
00:36:43the nerves have dropped
00:36:45oh that's good yeah
00:36:47Clint gives you like a good
00:36:49feeling when you're around him
00:36:51it maniples
00:36:57down the hall the last of the
00:36:59newlyweds are about to tackle the
00:37:01photo ranking task and
00:37:03Veronica is approaching it with caution
00:37:05so
00:37:07after that conversation
00:37:09with Lauren yesterday it just
00:37:11really helped me to understand what I
00:37:13should be looking out for today
00:37:15I think Elliot has a lot
00:37:17of sides I'm learning
00:37:19I'm curious to see what side this
00:37:21one this challenge brings out in him
00:37:23like
00:37:25I don't know this guy
00:37:27alright
00:37:29yeah let's go
00:37:31so okay
00:37:33so first up uh Jackie
00:37:35yeah okay
00:37:37that's a surprise to me
00:37:39like I'm just not attracted to
00:37:41her look physically
00:37:43purely physical
00:37:45for me like
00:37:47attraction is so much more than just what someone
00:37:49physically looks like
00:37:51but if you want to just maintain just physical
00:37:53then we can just do that
00:37:55yeah for this exercise anyway
00:37:57next up
00:37:59Lorena
00:38:01not someone that I'm drawn to
00:38:03I just feel like
00:38:05he focused on
00:38:07like the same exact point
00:38:09for every single person
00:38:11I don't find her really that
00:38:13physically attractive
00:38:15not attractive not attractive not attractive
00:38:17physically speaking not really attracted to her
00:38:19of course
00:38:21Karina
00:38:23attractive
00:38:25yeah
00:38:27but didn't give me any insight into what it was that he
00:38:29found attractive about each of those individual people
00:38:31next Lauren
00:38:33she's beautiful
00:38:35um
00:38:37yeah
00:38:39I think she's an attractive girl
00:38:41personally
00:38:43I don't really feel like I learnt anything
00:38:45he just wasn't
00:38:47coming at the
00:38:49exercise from a place of trying to
00:38:51really help me to understand
00:38:53what it is that he finds attractive in the opposite sex
00:38:55so then we
00:38:57have
00:38:59um
00:39:01yeah
00:39:03I would put you up here
00:39:05really
00:39:07interesting
00:39:09yeah I don't know how to describe it
00:39:11very diplomatic answers
00:39:15I don't feel like I have any further
00:39:17insight into Elliot as a person
00:39:19you're free to like
00:39:21discuss other elements of what you find attractive
00:39:23in people as well
00:39:25the task was on a physical attractiveness basis
00:39:29I'm not sure
00:39:31if I read that are you supposed to do it
00:39:33just strictly physical attractiveness or
00:39:35okay
00:39:37last on the board
00:39:39our dearest Adrian
00:39:41that's really surprising
00:39:43we haven't really had much of a
00:39:45conversation but I just know that
00:39:47he and I would clash
00:39:49my list is
00:39:51based on
00:39:53what I know
00:39:55of the people that I've met so far
00:39:57Clint and the effect
00:39:59that meeting them
00:40:01has had on me
00:40:03in terms of like
00:40:05whether or not I find them attractive
00:40:07Paul
00:40:09I think it's really sweet that he's
00:40:11you know fallen in love with Karina
00:40:13the fact that he's being so vulnerable
00:40:15is so attractive
00:40:19we kind of did the exercise a little bit
00:40:21differently different metrics
00:40:23I guess you could say
00:40:25and then we've got Dave
00:40:27he's very emotionally available
00:40:29he's tall
00:40:31gorgeous, funny, loves a joke
00:40:33he's respectful
00:40:35it's pretty hard to top
00:40:37so yeah
00:40:39okay
00:40:41so you're, I'm putting you
00:40:43here
00:40:49so you're obviously physically gorgeous
00:40:51we can all see that
00:40:53but the reason why I put these guys
00:40:55ahead is just because
00:40:57I feel that there's like
00:40:59a level of openness and a level
00:41:01of vulnerability that I haven't seen from you
00:41:03yet
00:41:05so that's the reason for my decision
00:41:07yeah, that's great
00:41:09not upset?
00:41:11no, no, I'm not upset at all
00:41:13I'm glad I'm not
00:41:15last, obviously
00:41:17back it up?
00:41:19yeah, sure
00:41:25yeah
00:41:35our newest couples are continuing
00:41:37with crash course week
00:41:39someone smells nice in here
00:41:41that's me, it's my new one
00:41:43Lauren and Clint's next task is designed
00:41:45to give them an insight into what
00:41:47their partner was looking for
00:41:49before entering the experiment
00:41:51by watching their audition videos
00:41:53how exciting
00:41:55let's go
00:41:57should I get my notepad out?
00:41:59alright, Clint Bryce
00:42:0143, from Launceston
00:42:03Tasmania, and I'm
00:42:05a professional golfer
00:42:07turned entrepreneur
00:42:09so I've achieved a lot of things in my life
00:42:11and career, and getting married
00:42:13is definitely one I've always wanted to do
00:42:15and if
00:42:17I could find someone spontaneous
00:42:19active
00:42:21someone that just
00:42:23doesn't want to sit on the couch
00:42:25and watch Netflix every day
00:42:27let's go hiking this weekend
00:42:29or let's go walk the dogs
00:42:31I hate hiking
00:42:33just have fun, not take life too seriously
00:42:35that's pretty fair
00:42:37even though you watch Netflix
00:42:39I love Netflix and I hate hiking
00:42:41well, they're kind of
00:42:43not must haves, they're like
00:42:45oh, ok Elliot
00:42:47I personally hate hiking
00:42:49I like going on walks with
00:42:51my friends, but certainly I wouldn't go
00:42:53make a whole day of it
00:42:55so, are you ready?
00:42:57go for it
00:42:59Lauren Hall, I'm
00:43:01I think I'm 37, from Brisbane
00:43:03and I'm a business owner
00:43:05I'm very like
00:43:07gender role specific
00:43:09I want to have someone that
00:43:11I can take care of, I can look up to
00:43:13they would need to be
00:43:15established, like
00:43:1750-50 at all
00:43:19I just don't want to like
00:43:21have to have my business
00:43:23they would need to have a house or a couple of properties
00:43:25have to be able to afford
00:43:27to go to Europe
00:43:291 million plus
00:43:31in the bank?
00:43:33no, like, earning
00:43:35if I was much
00:43:37with someone who wasn't successful, I would probably
00:43:39hate them
00:43:41that's all accurate
00:43:43yeah, ok
00:43:45fair enough
00:43:47it falls into what you were saying about
00:43:49your traditional values, where you want
00:43:51a husband to be
00:43:53more provider, more protector
00:43:55it's more like, yeah
00:43:57protector, provider and alpha
00:43:59I'm not worried
00:44:01with what Lauren wants from a man
00:44:03I like the fact that
00:44:05I can have the space to provide
00:44:07and protect
00:44:09just understanding the whole alpha male thing
00:44:11to see where that actually
00:44:13where that sits and
00:44:15where I fit in that whole scheme of things
00:44:17I guess
00:44:19so would you say I'm masculine enough
00:44:21for you?
00:44:23I'd say you're definitely masculine
00:44:25I don't know if you're like
00:44:27an alpha
00:44:31I feel like with Clint
00:44:33he definitely isn't an alpha male
00:44:35he shaves his chest
00:44:37he shaves his chest
00:44:39even things like this morning
00:44:41he's wanting to book in a spray tan
00:44:43he got a spray tan and had
00:44:45the paper g string thing on
00:44:47I just don't think that that's masculine
00:44:49I know that you feel like
00:44:51I'm a bit of a dominant personality
00:44:53whereas with an alpha male
00:44:55I wouldn't feel that way
00:44:57it kind of softens me
00:44:59maybe just let your chest hair grow out
00:45:01let the tan wash off
00:45:03I don't know
00:45:05just be really
00:45:07secure in your
00:45:09manhood
00:45:11do you like to share
00:45:13decision making?
00:45:15I want to trust
00:45:17the person enough that I know
00:45:19that I would respect the decision
00:45:21and that I'd be happy with the decision
00:45:23really?
00:45:25yeah
00:45:27I'd like to grab a big beer
00:45:29and
00:45:31start drinking beers
00:45:33and maybe smash some beer cans over my head
00:45:35I don't know if that's an alpha male
00:45:37I'd probably have to look up the definition
00:45:39and see completely what it is
00:45:41yeah that's good
00:45:43good chat
00:45:45As Lauren and Clint
00:45:47continue to understand each other's
00:45:49expectations through crash course
00:45:51week, our original
00:45:53couples are in the middle of friends and
00:45:55family week, and for
00:45:57Athena and Adrian, tensions
00:45:59are at an all time high
00:46:01ahead of their catch up with their loved
00:46:03ones. You looking forward to seeing
00:46:05them? Yeah I am actually
00:46:07I'm looking forward to having a sit down
00:46:09chat with everyone
00:46:11me too
00:46:13I don't really know what to expect
00:46:15but it'll be good to see everyone regardless
00:46:17yeah I can't wait to see Cleo
00:46:19Cleo means the world to me
00:46:21you know she's my twin sister
00:46:23and usually I'm
00:46:25her support person
00:46:27but I feel like with this roundabout that Adrian and I
00:46:29keep going around, it's just gonna
00:46:31be the same story
00:46:33my concerns are that
00:46:35it'll be Adrian
00:46:37his twin sisters and Jasmine
00:46:39three more people backing him up
00:46:43as if he hasn't had a voice this
00:46:45whole time like
00:46:47here we go, here we go
00:46:49from my
00:46:51understanding from Adrian
00:46:53sounds like there's a lot of challenges and obstacles
00:46:55in their relationship and whether or not
00:46:57they can overcome them
00:46:59we'll see
00:47:05the type of family that we are, we're supportive
00:47:07no matter what
00:47:09I think that can be difficult for people
00:47:11I don't have any grave concerns
00:47:13I mean we're all adults
00:47:15so yeah
00:47:17you guys are
00:47:19actually kind of matching
00:47:21was that on purpose? No
00:47:27I think we're here for you guys
00:47:31what's been going on, how was this morning?
00:47:33this morning?
00:47:35it was alright
00:47:37I did observe an icy
00:47:39greeting
00:47:45we've obviously had
00:47:47a few problems and issues in the last
00:47:49couple of weeks. Yeah let's go into it
00:47:51what happened
00:47:53we spoke about it a little bit yesterday but we're both so tired
00:47:55from the last couple of days which is fair enough
00:47:57so we sort of left it. We just said let's bed
00:47:59for the night. Let's bed what?
00:48:01what happened?
00:48:03oh my gosh
00:48:07I feel like we should have had food
00:48:09or something first
00:48:11what happened?
00:48:15just had
00:48:17a bit of a rollercoaster for a few weeks
00:48:21but what's the issue, like what is the challenges
00:48:23you know
00:48:25why is it so up and down
00:48:29what's your point of view?
00:48:31because obviously we talked to Adrienne and we have somewhat of an idea
00:48:33but obviously we want to hear you out too
00:48:35because I think it's important for
00:48:37you know, both of us, all of us
00:48:39to hear you out
00:48:41I feel like that's why we're here also
00:48:47like this environment, like it definitely fast tracks
00:48:49a relationship, you know
00:48:51and you're pushed to ask questions
00:48:53and maybe you don't like the answers to those questions
00:48:57I think Adrienne and I just really struggle to communicate
00:48:59to each other what we want
00:49:03you're in each other's space 24-7
00:49:05and you've got different living habits
00:49:07and you've got different ways of acting in a relationship
00:49:09well no one's perfect in a relationship
00:49:11let's not forget that
00:49:17while Adrienne chose to welcome three guests
00:49:19to lunch
00:49:21Athena has opted to invite just one
00:49:23her twin sister Cleo
00:49:27Cleo first met Adrienne and his family
00:49:29on his wedding day
00:49:31where the twin pairing caused quite the stir
00:49:37these are our sisters here, Aiden and Nicola
00:49:39twins as well
00:49:41you're going to be surprised
00:49:43they're twins
00:49:45twins on twins
00:49:47twins, double trouble
00:49:49but despite observing
00:49:51Athena and Adrienne immediately hitting it off
00:49:53hey how you going, I'm Adrian
00:49:55you're actually way too hot
00:49:57I'm actually not happy
00:49:59Cleo also witnessed the first hiccup
00:50:01in the couple's relationship
00:50:03if you haven't noticed, which you have
00:50:05I'm an identical twin
00:50:07and so are my sisters
00:50:09also you should know, I'm not a one man package still
00:50:13I do come with a beautiful six month old
00:50:17Aussie Shepherd
00:50:21don't worry, I don't have kids
00:50:25Cleo has since been kept up to date
00:50:27with the recent developments in the experiment
00:50:29through regular contact with her sister
00:50:33my sister and me have a really close relationship
00:50:35so we talk
00:50:37most nights about what's currently
00:50:39happening in her life
00:50:41how she's feeling, how she's coping
00:50:43right now she's been away from her friends and family
00:50:45for several weeks
00:50:47and she's been struggling, just having that distance from her son
00:50:49hello
00:50:51hi
00:50:53we're matching
00:50:55this isn't meant to be like this
00:50:57we're matching
00:50:59and she's been telling me some pretty unsettling things
00:51:01about her husband Adrian
00:51:03she's told me regularly that he doesn't show up
00:51:05for her the way a husband should
00:51:07she tells me that he
00:51:09regularly puts her down to make himself look better
00:51:11and that she doesn't feel seen
00:51:13she feels invisible
00:51:15you've missed out on it
00:51:17everyone's straight into the questions
00:51:19asking how Adrian and I are
00:51:25yeah, how are we?
00:51:29so obviously Adrian, just before you continue
00:51:31your eyes are swollen
00:51:35have you been crying?
00:51:43you know you should say
00:51:45hi
00:51:47she's been in a bad way
00:51:49talking to you
00:51:51and not being nice
00:51:53with you
00:51:57all the times
00:51:59like two hours
00:52:01of having your back to me
00:52:05the things a man can or can't do
00:52:07without you
00:52:09but today
00:52:11So obviously Adrian just before you continue
00:52:14Your eyes are swollen
00:52:16Have you been crying? No, it's been sleeping actually
00:52:22But um
00:52:25Oh food
00:52:29What is it you want any ball there's peas in it though, I'm not sure you'll eat it
00:52:34You
00:52:39Know I've been it seems to have most of the problem. So I want you guys to hear it out first. I agree
00:52:46Because someone right leave and I'll stay but you want to tell him why you were at leave I
00:52:55Think when starting a relationship with anyone it's like you don't expect grand while things in the beginning. It's the little things that are important
00:53:04Not about the little things like that. Tell me what the real problem is. They haven't
00:53:09Little things also matter. See don't forget that
00:53:13You know little things paint a whole picture. I
00:53:18Don't think a theme is happy in her relationship with Adrian she looks tired exhausted and sad
00:53:24She's given a lot to be here. She's given up time away from her son. She's giving up important milestones
00:53:29Athena deserves a kind loving partner who's going to support her
00:53:36Like obviously I want a shot for Adrian
00:53:38Like that's why I said to him. Let's have a conversation where we say what you need from me and what I need from you
00:53:45We didn't even have that conversation because it started off we got to a disagreement and ended but what is showing up look like for
00:53:52you
00:53:53Honestly, just acknowledge that I exist would be really nice
00:53:59From
00:54:01Day one I felt like I'm constantly asking questions or I'm constantly complimenting even just asking him questions about what food he likes
00:54:07You know like because I want to know I don't get to know him and I just haven't felt the reciprocation of my end
00:54:12Okay
00:54:12So what I'm hearing is is this is all about Adrian right now
00:54:15So you can confidently sit here and say that you don't partake in any of this problem every time we have a conversation
00:54:21I sugarcoat it. I'm very much
00:54:25That's you not communicating properly no actually no, it's actually ridiculous
00:54:32I'm overwhelmed right now
00:54:35He has three more people backing him up
00:54:38And so I don't know how to explain my point of view to them
00:54:42that anytime I addressed any real hurt you'd get on the defense and he'd shut me down and
00:54:49I've struggled to have a voice with him. It's just difficult
00:54:54It's hard
00:54:57You just keep revalidating that you don't see me or you're not hearing me
00:55:01We have these conversations every single day two three times a day. That's me hearing you out
00:55:07There's hearing Adrian and listening and understanding yeah and actually reassuring me
00:55:14Hey, and you and then there's hearing and then just shutting me down. I heard you out. I've heard you up any times
00:55:20I've definitely have
00:55:22So I'm making an effort is what I'm saying, I'm just gonna say something thing you look really drained your eyes are swollen
00:55:32That's not from sleeping that's from crying
00:55:43Have you cried in front of me I've cried in front of you before Adrian
00:55:46I don't know you did after the last commitment ceremony and
00:55:50I was visibly upset
00:55:53When I've told you I feel a certain way when I've said I'm upset. Do you know what you say afterwards?
00:55:58every time
00:56:01That's a new problem something I just say something
00:56:03I think it's really it's really hard for anyone not just Adrian
00:56:08But to continuously show up for someone when you are focusing a lot on the negatives
00:56:12Because
00:56:15He hasn't even shown up so let's just stop it from what I've not even shown up what I'm her not even once I was told
00:56:21He has not even showed up. I don't care. He has not shown up not even once
00:56:27Coming up
00:56:31Serious family matters turn into a family feud they are not good enough to be in your life
00:56:37He is definitely not good enough to be in my nephew's life
00:56:40I'm done. It's like good. Make sure you leave the apartment
00:56:52There's hearing Adrian and listening and understanding yeah, and actually reassuring me
00:56:59And you and then there's hearing and then just shutting me down
00:57:03Can I just say something I think it's really it's really hard for anyone not just Adrian
00:57:10But to continuously show up for someone when you are focusing a lot on the negatives
00:57:17Because he hasn't even shown up so let's just stop it
00:57:21Showing what I'm not even once I was told he has not even showed up. I don't care. He has not shown up
00:57:26Not even once
00:57:28You were that way yeah, I was that
00:57:31Okay, Jasmine was speaking and Cleo just started speaking
00:57:37Where you feel like you haven't been shown up, but I haven't even told you how I haven't been shown up for you
00:57:42I've asked you so many times, and you just but I was trying to come around the situation
00:57:47Well Cleo cut Jasmine off when she was trying to get the answer from you, that's not how a husband shows up
00:58:01Actually you know what I'm not going to lie
00:58:03We just had intruders move in right intruders
00:58:06I've been asked by one of the intruders more questions about my life and my son
00:58:11Then I've been asked by Adrian in the entire experiment. What have you asked me one time?
00:58:16everything
00:58:18When we went to Fiji she said to me
00:58:22Because when I'm ready to talk about my son, I will talk about her son
00:58:26We had this conversation we agreed I said to everyone that's not exactly how the conversation everyone okay, let me finish I
00:58:34Said everyone I feel like this is obviously a special person in her life when she's ready to talk and comfortable to talk about her
00:58:40Son, I will talk and that's what she said to me so why I don't know step my ground
00:58:44It's just what she said to me. I have to agree someone with a son if I had said to someone
00:58:48I don't want to speak of my son. I would hope that they would take that very seriously
00:58:53I've not been once asked by you how my son is. It's just true. You've never even asked me
00:58:57Can I stop you there for a second?
00:58:59So initially you said when the time is right, you'll open up about that's not the conversation
00:59:08This is a roadblock for us, so when you're ready, you'll open up about it right that's fine
00:59:13I come naturally it was coming. I've been naturally mentioning my son
00:59:17You said when you were ready you would speak about him
00:59:20I actually brought up my son a few times just randomly you're in there, and that's actually true
00:59:29Actually of course she did she's a fantastic mother, so how about we lose that attitude about her being a mother
00:59:34All the only one yeah
00:59:39You just know she's the best freaking mom there is
00:59:43How dare you I make comments about my son all the time just lower the decibel now how dare you
00:59:53She is the best mom there is
00:59:57You are ratchet
01:00:00So you're fighting fighting fighting with these people, and it's never gonna get you're a fantastic mother
01:00:06You're a beautiful person you give give give give on a daily basis
01:00:10You had so much light that you share with everyone, and I don't see any of that light in you today
01:00:16They are not good enough to be in your life. He is definitely all good enough to be in my nephew's life
01:00:20No, no
01:00:27Actually, I'm just I don't need to listen to this when this conversation. It really is. I think this is very ridiculous. I'm done
01:00:37Good make sure you leave the apartment
01:00:40And actually
01:00:46They sat there the entire time making snarky remarks because you know what they planned it they planned I did
01:01:01It's time for you to come home I
01:01:04Thought I would come in alone because obviously I don't think anything is gonna resolve itself with everybody
01:01:10But I thought like you know I would come in and have a conversation because you know as a mother
01:01:15I know what you've given up
01:01:16But you know I've given up time with my son for these four days to come here and to feel this attack number one
01:01:22At us right let alone my brother, so that's a really difficult situation to be in
01:01:28I think there's like a lot of finger-pointing
01:01:32But you know I think you did have an opportunity to leave
01:01:36Your brother actually asked me to stay to my face
01:01:39I think you know you're only looking at yourself you literally sat then you think that like that was me attacking your brother
01:01:44I barely needed to point a finger at him
01:01:46I'm sorry, but you guys came in very aggressive Jasmine was simply asking
01:01:49How do you perceive showing up right and you couldn't even answer that question so my god?
01:01:54It's like do you know why because when I said I just want to be seen just the littlest bit
01:01:58I mean
01:02:01Different ways of showing up. I think you know you have a
01:02:04Situation no actually I had zero expectation. You've not been there the last few weeks, and I will not have this conversation
01:02:09Do you know why I won't have this conversation?
01:02:11There's like no no reasoning unreasonable people back at you babe. I'm gonna tell you right now
01:02:16I'm not gonna tolerate this kind of behavior anymore, okay?
01:02:21Goodbye, babe. You're just not worth it honey. You are not worth it trust me you your brother no one
01:02:29I
01:02:37Think you know you have this expectation
01:02:39No, actually I have zero expectation. You've not been there the last few weeks, and I will not have this conversation
01:02:44Do you know why I won't have this conversation?
01:02:46There's like no no reason these unreasonable people back at you babe. I'm gonna tell you right now
01:02:51I'm not gonna tolerate this kind of behavior anymore, okay?
01:02:54Oh, you're just not worth it honey. You are not worth it trust me you your brother no one
01:03:02She came in here, I know I said straight off the bat sure fly straight off the bat
01:03:06She said you could have left. Why are you here? You could have left at the end of the day
01:03:13You said leave if he sat there giving you empty promises and false
01:03:17Hope of course you say it was three against one
01:03:21And I just wish that fee had more support there to defend her you know every time she opened her mouth they tried to
01:03:30Make her look bad, or they were condescending
01:03:35It's gonna be a nice lunch
01:03:37It was never going to be I actually feel quite embarrassed and upset actually I feel embarrassed for Fina and her sister
01:03:45mainly Cleo
01:03:47And I feel I've set up with my sisters and Jasmine in that situation
01:03:51The fact that she even made a hump about you being a mom you are the best mom in this world
01:03:56Please stop. I know it does
01:04:03I hate seeing you like this. I've been crying all morning. I know because I can see it in your eyes
01:04:12Not only has Adrian
01:04:15Treated me really poorly throughout this experiment and treated me as such an afterthought and had very conditional affection
01:04:24He's gaslit me
01:04:26But he's also tried to
01:04:29Shine a very horrible light on me any chance he gets I gave up a lot to be here in Sydney away from my child
01:04:36Now I'm just mad, and I'm pissed off and how's clear
01:04:40You've left so much behind if you don't have a life of your own also
01:04:44We all gave up something and it's not just because you have a son that you've given up
01:04:48Yeah, I've given up just as much as her. I've given up time away from my job
01:04:52I've given up time away from my dog I
01:04:56Don't think he knows your son's name. I don't think he pays any attention to you, and it's sad to see
01:05:02If you weren't staying genuinely tried like you deserve
01:05:08You are asking for so little
01:05:11when you deserve so much more I
01:05:13Just keep giving him all these opportunities to show me that he's a nice person or that he actually has
01:05:20Just the tiniest bit of care to me
01:05:23But there's
01:05:25There's nothing
01:05:27Listen you've done what you can
01:05:28But at the same time you know what I did right stay
01:05:31So it's only fair for me and the man that I am to stay to the end
01:05:34Like I'm saying second mirror ceremony because that's me showing up again
01:05:38You know I'm a twin my sister's the twins I understand like you defensive for your sister
01:05:43She's going off her head like even though I feel like pulling up Cleo
01:05:48But at the same time I just want to let her embarrass herself
01:05:51She can't polish it
01:05:54What are you 10 years old like?
01:05:57Look you can put a ribbon on a garbage bin, but what is that? It's all trash
01:06:03Let's just be honest
01:06:06Tomorrow night
01:06:09Friends and family we continues we can see the way Karina looks at you
01:06:14Yeah, you look happy you really do you can tell the chemistry is definitely there
01:06:19And I do see a future the new beginnings of family
01:06:24You are being unreasonable, and I will not tolerate what causes Veronica to lash out at Elliot
01:06:30Do not raise your voice at me which pattern off. This is so civil
01:06:33I've had enough emotions reach breaking point as they navigate the first week of married life
01:06:43And in an unexpected turn of events which couple will announce their exciting baby news
01:06:59You
