00:00:00Leave.
00:00:02Previously...
00:00:04Good riddance.
00:00:05Lorena and Tony's dramatic exit from the experiment.
00:00:09You're leaving.
00:00:12I punched a hole in the bedroom door.
00:00:15This is toxic and unacceptable behaviour.
00:00:19In their darkest hour...
00:00:21I want to stay.
00:00:22...Karina and Paul remained committed to their marriage.
00:00:26Obviously, I'm going to have to make that up to Karina.
00:00:28I really do care about this woman.
00:00:30I want to leave that in the past and I want to move forward.
00:00:33We progressed our relationship intimately.
00:00:38Our couple's romantic progress was on full display.
00:00:42It's really taken me by surprise at how comfortable I feel around him.
00:00:45I love spending basically every minute of the day with Rhea.
00:00:48I've never felt like this before.
00:00:50I felt like my feelings just went...
00:00:53Clint was doing the dishes.
00:00:54But it was Lauren who left the room speechless...
00:00:58I come home and my laundry's folded.
00:01:00My ideal relationship, it would be the other way around.
00:01:03...when she questioned her husband's masculinity.
00:01:06With Clint, that alpha male, I just don't feel like it's fair.
00:01:14Tonight...
00:01:17...the next exciting phase of the experiment begins.
00:01:23Let's go!
00:01:25Our newlyweds head off to the annual couples retreat.
00:01:29Welcome home for the next four days.
00:01:31Where over two big nights, some much needed R&R will strengthen bonds.
00:01:38I think coming on the Byron retreat was exactly what we needed.
00:01:45I feel like my soul is leaving my body more and more every day.
00:01:49But not everyone is enjoying the group environment.
00:01:54It's Bathma Retreat. It's actually like school camp.
00:01:58Extremely loud people acting like buffoons.
00:02:01Do you think you're the man that she says she wants though?
00:02:04And when the group questions Lauren's feelings for Clint...
00:02:08You are so lucky.
00:02:10You actually have no idea what you're talking about.
00:02:12Lauren doesn't hold back.
00:02:14I'm actually so done with, like, your opinion means nothing to me, Jamie.
00:02:18And a new rivalry is formed.
00:02:21Don't! Don't! Watch your tone.
00:02:23What the hell? That is so rude.
00:02:25You know what? This conversation is so boring.
00:02:27I'm over it.
00:02:30Losers.
00:02:48OK.
00:03:06This morning, the mood is sombre,
00:03:08as Karina and Paul are feeling the effects
00:03:11of last night's commitment ceremony.
00:03:14Drained.
00:03:15Drained would be the first thing that pops into my head, yeah.
00:03:18Mentally and emotionally drained.
00:03:24I completely lost control.
00:03:31And I...
00:03:37I...
00:03:39I...
00:03:42Punched a hole in the bedroom door.
00:03:47This is not normal behaviour.
00:03:51This is deeply troubling.
00:03:55Now, I want you to tell us
00:03:58why the three experts
00:04:01should not kick you out of the experiment right now.
00:04:09OK.
00:04:11The thing I did goes against, completely against, you know,
00:04:14like, how I got brought up and the things I got told.
00:04:17And it just...
00:04:22Yeah, it's OK.
00:04:28I see that in you.
00:04:29Like, I wouldn't be here right now if I didn't see that
00:04:33and those characteristics in you as a human.
00:04:38You know, I don't condone that behaviour one bit.
00:04:42My trust has been broken with Paul and I do have my walls up,
00:04:45so he has to just gain that back.
00:04:48He's going to need to really prove himself
00:04:52for us to get back to being...
00:04:56..the happy Paul and Karina that we have been.
00:05:03Yeah, it's just trying to move on from here
00:05:07and just, yeah, owning it, which you've done,
00:05:12and just focus on us moving forward.
00:05:19She's my number one priority right now
00:05:21and I just want to make it up to her.
00:05:24I want to make her feel special again, you know,
00:05:26cos she's been so special to me since day one, you know.
00:05:30We'll get through this. It's OK.
00:05:37We'll get through this.
00:05:47You making coffee? Cos I made you a coffee.
00:05:49Did you? Yeah.
00:05:54Oh, you missed it.
00:05:56With the fourth commitment ceremony behind them,
00:05:59our couples are ready to embrace a new day of the experiment.
00:06:04I did.
00:06:06OK, don't smile.
00:06:08But one couple has left everyone feeling confused.
00:06:14Athena and Adrian had a tumultuous meet with their loved ones
00:06:18during family and friends week.
00:06:22You are a fantastic mother. You're a beautiful person.
00:06:25You give, give, give, give on a daily basis.
00:06:27They are not good enough to be in your life.
00:06:29He is definitely not good enough to be in my nephew's life.
00:06:31Well, no, you expectantly...
00:06:33We don't like people that...
00:06:35They are eliminated in a dramatic exit.
00:06:38I actually am decidedly to listen to this show.
00:06:41It's a bit of a pointless conversation.
00:06:43It really is.
00:06:44And the threat of their relationship coming to an end.
00:06:47You guys can have a chat.
00:06:48Make sure you leave the apartment.
00:06:50Happening.
00:06:51Despite their blow-up, when choosing to leave or stay,
00:06:55last night Athena made a shock decision.
00:06:59I wrote stay.
00:07:05Following Athena's surprise decision to stay,
00:07:09the couple have spent another night apart.
00:07:13Yeah, last night CC was pretty rough.
00:07:16Choosing to stay after last week was a big decision
00:07:20and I wasn't sure if I'd made the right choice.
00:07:25But I stayed because despite all of our issues,
00:07:28there is sexual chemistry.
00:07:30There's a physical attraction.
00:07:32Hello.
00:07:33Hey.
00:07:34What's happening?
00:07:35A lot.
00:07:36Can I give you a hug?
00:07:37Yeah.
00:07:38And I'm not ready to give that up just yet.
00:07:40Nice and clean.
00:07:42Cleaner than my bachelor pad.
00:07:44I actually haven't done...
00:07:45I just feel like you're not here.
00:07:47Invading my space.
00:07:49I don't think it'd take a lot of work.
00:07:51I think it's just about focusing on the positives
00:07:53and what we like about each other.
00:07:55And, yeah, having fun and quality time.
00:07:57That's it.
00:07:58Are you looking forward to having me back?
00:08:00Absolutely not.
00:08:01No, I'm not.
00:08:02I've quite enjoyed having this place to myself.
00:08:04I'm happy to be back, yeah.
00:08:06I'm just having all my clothes.
00:08:08I'm just being in Athena's presence.
00:08:10I'm just having Athena in the bed.
00:08:12Actually, don't, because she snores.
00:08:14OK.
00:08:15It did feel nice that we could naturally get into...
00:08:19even, like, be physical with each other
00:08:21and not feel forced.
00:08:22Like, that's all I wanted.
00:08:23I wanted things to just come naturally.
00:08:25Did you have a coffee this morning?
00:08:27Yeah.
00:08:28I'm feeling positive right now.
00:08:30But it's day one.
00:08:32I'm optimistic.
00:08:33But only time will tell
00:08:35when I'm going to see what the next week looks like.
00:08:39Another couple who left a lasting impression on everyone
00:08:43at last night's commitment ceremony was Lauren and Clint.
00:08:47I was...
00:08:48I was baffled by what Lauren was saying on the couch last night.
00:08:51On the couch, Lauren voiced her concerns
00:08:54over Clint not living up to her ideal version of an alpha male.
00:08:59I think an alpha is a leader in the relationship.
00:09:04Someone that will organise everything
00:09:06and, like, take control of everything.
00:09:08But in our house, like, Clint does the washing
00:09:12and, like, I come home and my laundry's folded,
00:09:15whereas my ideal relationship, it would be the other way around.
00:09:20She was literally having a dig at Clint for doing nice things.
00:09:24Oh, he does the dishes, he does the washing,
00:09:27he puts my clothes away, he makes dinners,
00:09:29he goes to the shops for me.
00:09:30I'm like, what are you complaining about?
00:09:32He's trying to take care of her.
00:09:33Yeah.
00:09:34And she's literally complaining about it.
00:09:35Yeah.
00:09:36I'm like, oh, I was gobsmacked by that.
00:09:38Yeah.
00:09:39But no, you look great.
00:09:40Thanks.
00:09:41The alpha male comment kind of peed me off
00:09:43because describe an alpha male.
00:09:45Like, do you want someone not doing the dishes
00:09:47and being lazy around the house?
00:09:49I don't know what a stereotypical alpha male is.
00:09:51Does Clint have to wear tank tops around the house or go to the gym?
00:09:54I don't know.
00:09:55He does go to the gym.
00:09:56And he's a pro golfer.
00:09:57Like, that's a man to me.
00:09:59Clint seems like a really good partner.
00:10:02He's lovely.
00:10:03Yeah, he's really lovely.
00:10:04I'd date Clint.
00:10:05Seriously.
00:10:06I think she's very petty.
00:10:08Do you want Elliot, who's an arsehole,
00:10:10or do you want Clint, who's a f***ing keeper?
00:10:12Like, what do you want?
00:10:13Yeah.
00:10:14Oh, my God, I'm covered in fluff from this f***ing blanket.
00:10:18Do you want my leg roller?
00:10:27Having passed the halfway point of the experiment,
00:10:30it's time for the couples to prepare to enter
00:10:33the next exciting phase of their journey.
00:10:36Let's pack.
00:10:37A married at first sight tradition,
00:10:40the annual couple's retreat.
00:10:42We're going away!
00:10:44The relationship retreat is an exciting and crucial phase
00:10:47of the experiment.
00:10:48Are you fine?
00:10:49Yeah, yeah, perfect.
00:10:50Take that for sure.
00:10:51Getting away and spending time in a new environment
00:10:55can help breathe life into a relationship that's in a rut.
00:10:59It can also bring stronger couples even closer.
00:11:03I can't wait.
00:11:04Oh, yes.
00:11:05I'm really, really excited.
00:11:07For me, this is exactly what we need as a couple.
00:11:11You know, a few days away from the bubble.
00:11:13We're getting some sun.
00:11:15It'll just be a nice reset for everyone.
00:11:18The couples will be travelling to the coastal paradise of Byron Bay,
00:11:23located on the north coast of New South Wales.
00:11:27We're going to Byron Bay.
00:11:29I'm so excited.
00:11:30I can't wait.
00:11:31It's going to be so much fun.
00:11:32Love it.
00:11:33Yeah?
00:11:34We're going to Byron Bay.
00:11:35And I'm so excited.
00:11:36I know that Byron has a lighthouse,
00:11:38and it has Chris Hemsworth.
00:11:40So, I don't know, will I see him there?
00:11:43Hopefully.
00:11:44We're going to Byron, baby.
00:11:45Woo!
00:11:46We're going to Byron.
00:11:47We're looking forward to some sunshine with Ryan.
00:11:49Yeah.
00:11:50I'm excited.
00:11:53Are you?
00:11:54Yeah.
00:11:55The apartment's good, but we need to switch it up.
00:11:57Byron Bay.
00:11:58Yeah, I think we're going to flourish there, you know?
00:12:01I've got no doubt someone will bring some kind of drama into it,
00:12:04but it's nice going into that environment with Jackie and I
00:12:07being on the same page,
00:12:09and really feeling strong.
00:12:11Woo!
00:12:12All right, let's go.
00:12:14Do you want a hand?
00:12:17Woo!
00:12:20I don't know if you've seen my hamstrings,
00:12:22but we just put them to really good use.
00:12:25Sitting down with the experts at the commitment ceremony last night,
00:12:28I was given some hard truths about my behavior over this last week.
00:12:32I really put my heart and soul into it.
00:12:37I really put myself out there,
00:12:39and I wrote about the most traumatic memory that I have.
00:12:44Saria, I've just got to jump in here.
00:12:46Veronica, are you aware of the way you're responding non-verbally?
00:12:50I am, yeah.
00:12:56It actually feels like you're being quite judgmental here.
00:12:59In a relationship, you must be able to work together.
00:13:05And if you're going to actually move forward here,
00:13:07you've got to empathize.
00:13:09That's got to be a big, key part of it,
00:13:11and there's not enough empathy.
00:13:14I've definitely taken on board the feedback
00:13:16that was given to me last night.
00:13:18I just want to, like, reset
00:13:20and just kind of come to Elliot in a different way.
00:13:23All right, packing all the leather.
00:13:29Do you have anything else?
00:13:31No.
00:13:32Gotcha.
00:13:33Things haven't been the best between me and Veronica,
00:13:35but the retreat will be a good chance for us to turn a new leaf
00:13:39and try to move forward.
00:13:41We're going on a holiday.
00:13:43We're going on a holiday.
00:13:45Ooh, ooh.
00:13:47Everybody's spirits are high.
00:13:49All right, let's do it.
00:13:51Let's go.
00:13:52Going to Byron.
00:13:55Except for one person.
00:13:58I am not looking forward to this retreat.
00:14:02I'm not looking forward to being in close quarters
00:14:04with these people.
00:14:06Lauren's reluctance to bond with the other girls
00:14:09began all the way back at the hen's night.
00:14:12Oh, oh, oh.
00:14:14Jamie's in the house.
00:14:16Um, the girl in the pink short dress.
00:14:19I just want to let everyone know that I'm here, I've arrived.
00:14:22She's just a bit boganic.
00:14:24And she's not one to hold back her opinion...
00:14:27Jackie.
00:14:28..of others in the group.
00:14:30Physically, on appearance, I actually would have ranked her higher.
00:14:34Really?
00:14:35But...
00:14:36I think she looks rough.
00:14:37Really?
00:14:38Yeah.
00:14:39Oh.
00:14:41After last night's commitment ceremony,
00:14:43I'm honestly feeling a bit drained.
00:14:45After listening to the other couples speaking up on the couch session,
00:14:49their opinions are making me dumber by the second.
00:14:52I don't want to be dealing with these people at the retreat.
00:14:56I just want to be left alone.
00:14:58It doesn't exactly sound like a retreat to me.
00:15:01A retreat sounds like blissful times.
00:15:04Mm.
00:15:05Quiet.
00:15:06Yeah.
00:15:07Peaceful.
00:15:08Good friends.
00:15:09Learning, growing, connecting.
00:15:11Yeah.
00:15:12These people are just not my cup of tea.
00:15:14I think there's going to be so much more to it.
00:15:18Athena's going to be screaming.
00:15:20Her nylon hair extensions are going to be blowing in the wind.
00:15:23Hopefully, Athena brings Dyson to the trip
00:15:26so she can, like, do a once-over on her head
00:15:29so we don't end up with nylon hair extensions
00:15:31all through the hallway like we have here.
00:15:33Adrian's probably going to be attempting to speak.
00:15:36I can't wait to hear more Adrian trying to talk without his tongue.
00:15:40I have no interest in getting to know, really, anyone else in here.
00:15:45It's embarrassing, honestly, to be associated with them
00:15:48and to be included in the conversations that they have.
00:15:53Um...
00:15:55I've got to be honest.
00:15:56Um...
00:15:57I'm actually looking forward to the couples' retreat.
00:16:00Um...
00:16:01Yeah.
00:16:03What positives can we take from it?
00:16:05Yeah, I think it could be really fun.
00:16:08The other couples, they've actually all been so warm and friendly,
00:16:11so I actually get along really well with everyone.
00:16:14Maybe we could go for a morning walk or something.
00:16:16I just think it's going to be a lot of drama
00:16:18that I've absolutely no interest in.
00:16:20Really? Mm.
00:16:22Mm.
00:16:23But my focus is to support Lauren,
00:16:26make sure that she's OK.
00:16:31Excited?
00:16:33It's going to be me hiding under the bed,
00:16:35trying to get away from these freaks.
00:16:37Let's go. Let's go.
00:16:42MUSIC
00:16:45The next phase of the experiment has begun,
00:16:48and the group is on their way to coastal paradise Byron Bay
00:16:53for the annual couples' retreat.
00:16:58For the next four days,
00:17:00the group will be living together under one roof.
00:17:04Me and the boys thought we'd decide we'd race up the hill.
00:17:09Oh, my God!
00:17:13It was a sprint to the front door and find the best route.
00:17:19I've never seen men run so fast in my life.
00:17:23Let's go!
00:17:26Hey, beauty.
00:17:29Dave and Jamie got the best room, hands down.
00:17:32They've got bed, lounge, bath, everything.
00:17:37All done.
00:17:40Oh, my God.
00:17:42I feel like racing to try and get a bedroom is a lot of fun.
00:17:46It's a lot of fun.
00:17:48It's a lot of fun.
00:17:50It's a lot of fun.
00:17:53I feel like racing to try and get a bedroom is embarrassing for your soul.
00:17:58I was waiting for the bellboy to come down, but no-one came.
00:18:02We're out here.
00:18:05Oh, my God.
00:18:07Is this a kids' room?
00:18:09Hang on. Hang on.
00:18:11Oh, this is the shoe cupboard.
00:18:13They just happen to have a bed in here.
00:18:15I think our accommodation's fantastic.
00:18:18Small room, but it's good.
00:18:20It might help bring us closer.
00:18:24Welcome home for the next four days.
00:18:26Yeah. Can't wait to get in that pool, though.
00:18:30Feeling excited. This place is beautiful.
00:18:33The house is my vibe. The location is my vibe.
00:18:36But...
00:18:38I want a kitchen.
00:18:4216 extremely loud people is not my vibe.
00:18:45Who do you think is going to get on everyone's nerves?
00:18:49I think just, like, in general, like, the noise.
00:18:52Like, there's so many people here.
00:18:54Oh, yeah. There's a lot of big personalities.
00:18:56Jamie and Athena will definitely be the loudest.
00:18:58Oh, gel!
00:19:00Yeah, we're making a cheese board.
00:19:02They're just a lot.
00:19:04It is offensive to my ears sometimes.
00:19:06Do you guys want skin on or skin off?
00:19:08No, I'm always a skin off kind of girl.
00:19:10Personally.
00:19:13I don't know how peaceful this weekend's going to be.
00:19:15Are you guys excited for it?
00:19:17It's going to be hectic, like, just a three-day dinner party.
00:19:19I'm hoping there's not going to be too much drama, bro.
00:19:21I don't think there's going to be any.
00:19:23Everyone's just going to get along, singing kumbaya, hugging.
00:19:28Everyone's getting along, having fun.
00:19:30Doesn't seem to be any, you know, bad blood or anything like that.
00:19:35That's just going to be the whole time, yeah.
00:19:42While the boys are settling in...
00:19:44Nice.
00:19:45..the girls are having a deep philosophical chat.
00:19:48How many times a week would you want to be having sex?
00:19:51I think, like, a good amount for me would be, like,
00:19:55at least three times, maybe four, at least a week.
00:19:58Yeah, I'm like that. I could have sex every day, though.
00:20:00Same. Yeah. OK.
00:20:02So, can I ask a question?
00:20:03So, with Ryan, he, like, really cares about training all the time.
00:20:07He only wants to have sex if he's not training.
00:20:12Like, as in, he'll only have sex after training and never in the morning.
00:20:16It has to be at night, after training,
00:20:18because he wants to, like, save his test, he says.
00:20:21What? Wait, what?
00:20:24Apparently testosterone helps you work out.
00:20:26As in, he wants to save his stamina for the gym?
00:20:29Yeah. Instead of f***ing you?
00:20:31Yeah! What?!
00:20:33Is this real?
00:20:35I've never heard that and can no-one tell my husband,
00:20:37because I don't need him savouring his testosterone for the gym.
00:20:40I don't... I want all this testosterone, please.
00:20:43I've never been with a guy who cares so much about their gym,
00:20:46so I wasn't sure if maybe it's normal.
00:20:48That's annoying to me.
00:20:49I don't know. I actually thought it was a gym boy thing.
00:20:51No way. I've never heard of it, though.
00:20:53No. No.
00:20:55I'm just genuinely curious.
00:20:57Like, I've never been with a gym boy before.
00:20:58Never, ever in my life.
00:20:59And so I'm like, is this normal?
00:21:01Like, it's just his gym training.
00:21:03I'd be like, no.
00:21:04You can shag me instead of going to the gym.
00:21:06That's what I was thinking. I was like, are you serious?
00:21:08You need to sort that out. Actually, he needs to sort that out.
00:21:11Surely that kind of release is a lot more exciting than hitting the gym.
00:21:15I don't know. That's just me personally.
00:21:18That's whack.
00:21:20It is, eh?
00:21:24To celebrate their first night together in Byron...
00:21:28You excited for tonight?
00:21:30Yeah, yeah. It's been good already.
00:21:32..the couples are getting ready for some welcome drinks.
00:21:35Are you ready to go?
00:21:37Always love the red on you.
00:21:39Yeah, everyone likes the red on me, eh?
00:21:41Yeah, some colour.
00:21:43And after Jackie's earlier revelation to the girls
00:21:46about Ryan prioritising gym over intimacy,
00:21:50there's only one topic of conversation on everyone's lips.
00:21:55On the days that Ryan is training and going to the gym,
00:21:59he will not have sex with Jackie.
00:22:01What?
00:22:02So she was asking us all, because she was like,
00:22:04Ryan and I don't have sex,
00:22:06because he saves his testosterone for the working out.
00:22:09I mean, I wouldn't be saying no just because I'm going to the gym, but...
00:22:13It's never spontaneous.
00:22:15It's always when he can...
00:22:16basically when he can fit her into the schedule.
00:22:19What the hell?
00:22:20The Ryan not having sex with Jackie
00:22:22because he's saving his testosterone for the gym.
00:22:25Mate, you're not going for an AFL grand final.
00:22:27Like, relax, it's the gym.
00:22:29Like, if you don't want to have sex in the morning, just say that.
00:22:32Don't come up with some ridiculous testosterone theory.
00:22:36Have you ever had any mates who are that way inclined?
00:22:38Like, has that ever come up before?
00:22:40Well, it's funny you should say that.
00:22:41Usually the night before a golf tournament, he's off the card.
00:22:46Really?
00:22:47And mid-round's never a good idea either.
00:22:49Yeah, no, I wouldn't imagine so.
00:22:51Grass is a bit prickly.
00:22:55Are you actually happy to be here with me?
00:22:57Yeah.
00:22:58Do you actually like me?
00:22:59Yeah.
00:23:00Do you?
00:23:01Do you actually?
00:23:04Yes.
00:23:05Me and Jackie, we've endured so much,
00:23:07and now we're in a really good place.
00:23:09Trust is number one, and I do feel Jackie has my back.
00:23:14Yeah, I do.
00:23:15And I've said this a few times as well, I love where we are right now.
00:23:19Oh, look at this.
00:23:23Oh, yes.
00:23:25Nice.
00:23:27Oh, my God.
00:23:30What are you having?
00:23:31Red.
00:23:32We've got the red.
00:23:34Cheers to Boren Bay!
00:23:35Cheers!
00:23:36Woo!
00:23:37Yeah!
00:23:41I'm so excited.
00:23:42I'm so excited.
00:23:43I'm so excited.
00:23:44I'm so excited.
00:23:45I'm so excited.
00:23:46I'm so excited.
00:23:48We're doing really well, guys.
00:23:50We had a really great weekend.
00:23:52I know you had a good weekend.
00:23:54I know.
00:23:56Adrian and I are actually in a good place right now.
00:23:59We've had sex, so things are good.
00:24:02They're great.
00:24:03No, no, we are actually going really well.
00:24:06I'm so grateful to be here in Tropical Paradise with my man.
00:24:10We're a big fire, and we all just sit around and tell silly stories.
00:24:15I know, I'm looking forward to hanging out with everyone.
00:24:18Are you all right, TJ, with that?
00:24:20It's all right.
00:24:21It's like 600 kilos.
00:24:25That's my husband.
00:24:28That's my man.
00:24:30I'm so glad that you guys have been solid.
00:24:33I want to have a bunch of his little babies.
00:24:35Yeah.
00:24:36That's so cute.
00:24:37They'll be really big babies.
00:24:38I don't know where I'd house them.
00:24:40But I do.
00:24:42So beautiful.
00:24:43Did you like click immediately?
00:24:45No.
00:24:46I've literally only ever been with walks.
00:24:48Have you?
00:24:49Me and Matt.
00:24:50I'm like, this man is so Australian.
00:24:51I'm like, I can't even f***ing deal.
00:24:53And I'm just like, every week, it's just like I can't even explain.
00:24:56I've never felt like this before.
00:24:58That is so gorgeous.
00:25:08She said the L word.
00:25:11Are you telling me?
00:25:12Yeah, yeah.
00:25:13Did you say it back, or was it just like...
00:25:14I literally, I covered his mouth.
00:25:15I'm like, don't say anything.
00:25:17I'm going to say this, and I'm going to bed.
00:25:21Guys, so wholesome.
00:25:23You can see how much you care for him and how much he cares for you.
00:25:26Yeah.
00:25:27So yeah, their relationship is beautiful.
00:25:29I'm so here for it.
00:25:31It's gorgeous.
00:25:32They're in love.
00:25:33I love it.
00:25:34I want to have all his little babies.
00:25:37They're just gorgeous.
00:25:38I'm so happy for you both, honestly.
00:25:40Where's your drink?
00:25:41It's her.
00:25:42Cheers, babes.
00:25:48Hey, hey, hey, Ryan, where are you going?
00:25:50Getting wood.
00:25:52God damn it.
00:25:54Do you have testosterone for that, or?
00:25:56Yes.
00:26:00Adrian's curious.
00:26:03So we said about before,
00:26:07a fair conversation is Ryan prefers to withhold his testosterone
00:26:13for the gym rather than house deck.
00:26:15No.
00:26:16No, no.
00:26:18Yes.
00:26:19Yes, that's what she said.
00:26:21That's what she said.
00:26:23What the **** just happened?
00:26:25Thanks, Jackie.
00:26:27Thanks, Jackie, for not keeping that private.
00:26:29Thanks, Jackie.
00:26:30Thanks, Jackie, for not keeping that private.
00:26:32It was girl chat.
00:26:33First night in, and, yeah, I can't believe we're talking about
00:26:36our sex life and intimacy and all that.
00:26:39Yeah.
00:26:41It's not what I wanted at all.
00:26:43If it is concerning our sex life,
00:26:45I just want to say, like, private intimate details
00:26:48are not really for a group setting, I prefer...
00:26:51Yes, they are.
00:26:53I prefer that setting.
00:26:55Everything's in the group.
00:26:58What is your connection between testosterone and sex and the gym?
00:27:02I don't... I feel ridiculous.
00:27:04I feel ridiculous talking about this, right?
00:27:06Say it, because it is ridiculous.
00:27:10Ryan, can you please tell me, for you,
00:27:13what the connection is between sex, gym and your testosterone?
00:27:23I just don't want to talk about our sex life.
00:27:28No, I just want to make that clear.
00:27:31I don't want to discuss it.
00:27:33We're figuring things out our own way.
00:27:35It's not really for a group discussion.
00:27:37Answer the question!
00:27:44Next...
00:27:45No, this is important to me.
00:27:47Why is it important to you?
00:27:48Ryan issues Jackie a warning.
00:27:50I'm only going to say this once, all right?
00:27:52I'm only going to say this once.
00:27:55This relationship's over.
00:28:04What is your connection between testosterone and sex and the gym?
00:28:12I feel ridiculous.
00:28:14I feel ridiculous talking about this, right?
00:28:16Say it, because it is ridiculous.
00:28:18Tuesday or Thursday.
00:28:20That's a man's thing.
00:28:22I want to know how it was brought up to begin with.
00:28:28I'm feeling definitely frustrated.
00:28:32How I approach my lifestyle,
00:28:34no-one else has to agree with, no-one else has to understand.
00:28:37Do you make the choice every day
00:28:40between having sex and going to the gym?
00:28:43Is that a differential?
00:28:44Do you need to make that decision?
00:28:46That's not the right question.
00:28:47What's the question then?
00:28:48It's not going to make sense to a few people,
00:28:50but a lot of my mates are athletes
00:28:51and a lot of guys do train the same way
00:28:53and have the same sort of mentality and whatnot.
00:28:55If you do have goals and you do want to perform a certain way,
00:28:58then sex every day is not conducive to that.
00:29:00In terms of going to the gym and whatnot,
00:29:03I prefer to train before having sex
00:29:06because saving my testosterone enhances performance.
00:29:10It's served me very well for, like, 15, 20 years.
00:29:13All I said was I don't feel like having it every single day.
00:29:16It's not a need of mine, it's not a desire of mine either.
00:29:20All of you guys go to the gym.
00:29:22Would you savour your testosterone for training?
00:29:25No, you pat my leg, I'm ready to go.
00:29:29Ryan's controversial gym protocol.
00:29:35Self-imposed blue balls.
00:29:37Yeah, that's an interesting one.
00:29:39I think that's like Olympic athletes the night before the race.
00:29:42That's not like going to the gym to, like, do bench press and, like...
00:29:50Really?
00:29:52Talking about everyone's sex lives as a group.
00:29:55Disgusting.
00:29:57It's just not a normal scenario.
00:29:59Long story short, Jackie wants more sex.
00:30:02That's the long story short.
00:30:04No, I'm just curious about his world view and beliefs...
00:30:07No, honestly, guys, seriously, I don't really want to get into it now.
00:30:10Jackie, do you feel like sex is on Ryan's terms?
00:30:14That's not a fair question.
00:30:16Chair, that's not a... You can answer it.
00:30:18Just answer it.
00:30:19Ryan wasn't too happy with Jack talking about their sex life.
00:30:24I don't want to discuss it.
00:30:26I just want to make that clear.
00:30:28It's not really for a group discussion.
00:30:30Ryan gets embarrassed.
00:30:33He does care about what others do think of him or the public opinion.
00:30:38And he doesn't like when Jackie brings up any, like, sides
00:30:42that can be counted as negative.
00:30:46Can we go have a chat?
00:30:48Yeah, sure.
00:30:51She betrayed me.
00:30:52Let's go sit over here.
00:30:54You know, like, my trust is a hard thing to regain.
00:30:59She's taken what I said to her in confidence
00:31:01and thrown it into a group setting, and what's happened?
00:31:03Like, we're now worse off than when we started.
00:31:05After that conversation, it's really important I need to address this with you.
00:31:10OK.
00:31:11So I really would appreciate it, and this is something I need from you, OK?
00:31:16Is the trust that if we do have a very personal, intimate conversation,
00:31:20that you won't blurt it out to the group.
00:31:24Trust, to me, is a big part of getting through a relationship
00:31:30and seeing if there is a long-term future there.
00:31:32So, like, if I'm going to trust you moving forward,
00:31:36the sex life should be between the two people.
00:31:40Well, you need to tell yourself that,
00:31:42because you're the one who's brought it up in front of everyone over and over again.
00:31:47I've got to say, like, she gives awesome...
00:31:50I'm just going to say, like, that's...
00:31:54..hell.
00:32:01Ryan saying, hey, don't talk about sex,
00:32:04notwithstanding the fact he's talked about sex so many times.
00:32:07And I felt that was something to celebrate and not go into too much detail.
00:32:11Yeah, so maybe I was celebrating
00:32:13that you were the one who made our sex life an open forum.
00:32:17And now I have a problem and I want to bring it up with my...
00:32:20..like, with the girls.
00:32:21What problem is there?
00:32:23I've never met anyone who's said
00:32:26that they have to save their testosterone for jamming.
00:32:30That's not all the time, either.
00:32:34I just wanted to ask the girls, because maybe one of them has dated a guy...
00:32:37When we discussed it... Yeah, this is normal.
00:32:40..you said, OK, I've never heard that before,
00:32:42but I understand that's how you live your life.
00:32:45That's where it should have stayed.
00:32:48I've definitely taken a step back.
00:32:50I'm not happy about it at all.
00:32:53Like, it's taken a long time for us to get to this point.
00:32:56Like, don't damage it.
00:32:58Your whole approach to intimacy isn't natural
00:33:01because you're saving the one thing that gets you to get intimate for Jim.
00:33:07And therefore, intimacy is second-hand.
00:33:09That's how I feel.
00:33:10If it was second-hand, why have we done it that many times, then?
00:33:14We haven't done it that many times.
00:33:16We did it last Friday night.
00:33:18We've only had sex three times, to be fair, honestly.
00:33:21You're keeping track. Don't.
00:33:23I'm just questioning.
00:33:25Cos you care about your Jim more.
00:33:27Bullshit. Bullshit.
00:33:30Bullshit I care about my Jim more.
00:33:32I confided in you about how I live my lifestyle, all right?
00:33:35And if that lifestyle's never going to coincide with yours,
00:33:38I'm not the man for you.
00:33:39It's not going to coincide.
00:33:40It's just that I want to have a conversation about it
00:33:43and you just don't conversate.
00:33:45You're just like, this is my life.
00:33:47I'm this man. This is how I do it.
00:33:49No, this is important to me.
00:33:50Why is it important to you?
00:33:53I'm only going to say this once, all right?
00:33:55I'm only going to say this once.
00:33:58If it happens again, this relationship's over.
00:34:06Ah!
00:34:17I'm only going to say this once, all right?
00:34:19I'm only going to say this once.
00:34:23If it happens again, this relationship's over.
00:34:29Ryan's really pissed that Jackie spoke about their sex life.
00:34:33Just hearing Jackie and Ryan talk seemed like it was getting nowhere.
00:34:36They were butting heads.
00:34:37Guys, are you okay?
00:34:39Because I feel like...
00:34:40I think we can resolve this a little bit.
00:34:43I think we need to.
00:34:44Are you pissed off at the fact that Jackie spoke about your sex life?
00:34:48Because I feel like she did have every right to.
00:34:50We all talked on our sex life.
00:34:52All the girls were talking about their sex life.
00:34:54I understand that, right?
00:34:55But this is one of those topics where I said, like,
00:34:57people aren't going to understand.
00:34:59From what I gather from the conversation before,
00:35:01and obviously correct me if I'm wrong, is...
00:35:04It's rather save your energy for the iron than her...
00:35:08Excuse my... language.
00:35:11No, well, you'd better be excused, because that's like,
00:35:13come on, man, that's not...
00:35:14Where's your class?
00:35:18Where's your class?
00:35:19That's really classless, Beth.
00:35:23I'm feeling definitely frustrated.
00:35:25It's just become this public wane again,
00:35:27and, like, Beth jumping in with a foul language
00:35:30and, like, being really aggressive and saying things
00:35:33that have no class, no dignity and whatnot.
00:35:35It doesn't help.
00:35:36All right, so concerning the sex life,
00:35:37it's going to stay between me and her.
00:35:41It's not for a group discussion.
00:35:42Ryan's got a big ego.
00:35:44He does not want to be portrayed in a negative light.
00:35:47And it's even more difficult in group settings
00:35:49because he gets so sensitive about that.
00:35:53Like, it's almost easier to just sweep the problems under the rug
00:35:55because you don't have to deal with them.
00:35:57I was fine with it. I was fine with it.
00:36:00So it's not an issue then?
00:36:02Yeah.
00:36:03They're just confusing to me.
00:36:05I can't work them out.
00:36:06I tried to work them out tonight in trying to honestly try
00:36:09to defend Jackie a bit tonight and say, like, you know,
00:36:11it's not really right that you only have time for her pleasure
00:36:15when you're not weight training,
00:36:17but it just backfired because Jackie said that she didn't mean that.
00:36:20I've only been here a short time,
00:36:22but I can see that they're very up and down.
00:36:24So you guys don't have an issue?
00:36:25Everyone's good?
00:36:26I definitely don't have an issue.
00:36:28Fantastic!
00:36:51I really feel for Clint.
00:36:54He's such an open, honest and fantastic guy
00:36:57and he has his heart in his sleeve.
00:36:59But right now, I don't think Lauren sees what we see.
00:37:02Do you want to go for a swim?
00:37:04Why?
00:37:05You're not going to propose or something, are you?
00:37:08Some of the comments Lauren made in the commitment story last week
00:37:11were a little bit personal.
00:37:13Like she said multiple times that Clint doesn't show alpha traits,
00:37:17but what's her interpretation of an alpha male?
00:37:20He's a business owner. He's an ex-pro golfer.
00:37:22He stands up for Lauren when she needs.
00:37:24I just think that Lauren needs to see him in a different light
00:37:26because he is such a great guy.
00:37:29I did want to ask from the commitment ceremony,
00:37:32you mentioned that you're an alpha male,
00:37:33someone like that, assertive kind of thing.
00:37:35I'm genuinely curious.
00:37:36I just want to know what your description is.
00:37:40I think in my life, in my company, I'm the leader.
00:37:44At home, I live by myself.
00:37:46I'm the leader in kind of every aspect of my life.
00:37:49So in a partner, I want them to be the leader.
00:37:54A leader for me is like a leader of a pack.
00:37:57I want to see someone hungry for doing deals.
00:38:01What about dishes and stuff?
00:38:10For me, I like to be the homemaker,
00:38:12but I want to be the homemaker for someone
00:38:15who's out there doing deals and hustling.
00:38:18Someone that I look up to and I respect.
00:38:25If someone were saying that to me,
00:38:27it'd actually be emasculating.
00:38:28Like, why are you telling them I'm an alpha?
00:38:30That's just the excuse to say, I don't like you.
00:38:32I feel like she's sort of maybe made up her mind
00:38:34and maybe Finn's not the guy for her.
00:38:37I feel for the guy because his personality isn't like,
00:38:40he's not going to bang his chest like a gorilla.
00:38:42Like, that's just not how he is.
00:38:44But that doesn't mean that he doesn't have those attributes.
00:38:49Like, cut the guy some slack.
00:38:52Yeah.
00:38:53Do you think that there's a chance
00:38:54that maybe Clint is an alpha male
00:38:56and maybe the fact that he's seeing what you need
00:38:59and compensating in your relationship
00:39:01by doing the things that maybe don't seem as masculine
00:39:04is actually alpha male behaviour?
00:39:08It worked, babe.
00:39:09Yeah, it's great, babe.
00:39:10That was a really good way to put it.
00:39:11Seriously.
00:39:12One thing I will say, like, don't come at Loz.
00:39:14Like, ask questions, but don't, don't come at her.
00:39:17Like, that's not OK.
00:39:19Alpha male.
00:39:20The one thing...
00:39:21That's an alpha.
00:39:22That's alpha male behaviour.
00:39:23Oh, that's a real man there, Lauren.
00:39:25Honestly, sometimes I just feel like
00:39:26just protecting her from everyone.
00:39:28Like, I know it's a tough...
00:39:29She went through a shit time to start this experiment.
00:39:32Elliot, I'm kidding.
00:39:34Thanks, man.
00:39:35No, I empathise with that.
00:39:37And it's like, that's a tough time to come back in
00:39:39and do it all over again.
00:39:40And that's huge for Loz to do that.
00:39:42Do you think you're the man that she says she wants, though?
00:39:51Do you think you're the man that she says she wants, though?
00:40:00I'm the last person to be cocky about that sort of thing,
00:40:02but I actually think I'm really good for Lauren.
00:40:07So, I guess I'm trying to figure out
00:40:09what it is I want, too.
00:40:10Like...
00:40:11I don't know.
00:40:12I don't know.
00:40:13I don't know.
00:40:14I don't know.
00:40:15I don't know.
00:40:16I don't know.
00:40:17I don't know.
00:40:18I don't know.
00:40:20The things that I find attractive,
00:40:22he's not able to do in this environment.
00:40:25Oh.
00:40:26I don't think Lauren's giving everything to Saran at the moment.
00:40:29I don't think she's really given Clint a fair go.
00:40:33You know, I did sell my company last year and it's like,
00:40:35yeah, Loz probably doesn't see me at my best, maybe.
00:40:40I wish I could be like,
00:40:41Clint's so amazing, just give him the chance.
00:40:44Lauren, I can relate.
00:40:45Coming into this experiment,
00:40:47it was very similar.
00:40:48I wanted that, like, more toxic masculine role.
00:40:52But for me, that was the, like, realising,
00:40:54like, a true masculine man
00:40:57is someone that is so confident and comfortable within
00:41:00that they can help around the house,
00:41:02that they can be, like, sensitive and everything like that.
00:41:09I feel like don't get too caught up on all these words,
00:41:11masculine and alpha.
00:41:12Yeah, I know what you mean.
00:41:13Just take Clint for who he is.
00:41:18Everyone's literally just spewing garbage.
00:41:22It's just like a pimple that just has endless pus.
00:41:26If you all came here with these expectations
00:41:28of what this person looks like,
00:41:29well, you've got to take Clint, me, Athena, as you are.
00:41:33It's definitely not my style to be talking loudly
00:41:36about my relationship in a group setting of ferals.
00:41:42You really need to, like, surrender yourself.
00:41:46For the sake of your partner,
00:41:48you have to, like, try to make the most out of it.
00:41:52It's honestly, it drains me.
00:41:54Just exhausting.
00:41:57Yeah.
00:42:08Good morning.
00:42:11How'd you sleep?
00:42:12I slept good.
00:42:13I feel great.
00:42:14Couldn't be happier, to be honest.
00:42:16This place is insane.
00:42:17It's so nice.
00:42:19I'm really happy to be here.
00:42:21I feel like it's been really positive vibes so far.
00:42:24It's hard to be in a bad mood in this place.
00:42:26Yeah.
00:42:29Well, I'm, like, awake.
00:42:30Yeah?
00:42:31It's, like, I'm so tired.
00:42:32Yeah.
00:42:33The noise.
00:42:34Oh, my God.
00:42:35From the corridor.
00:42:38Oh, my God.
00:42:46I woke up to the sounds of what I assumed,
00:42:48like, a goose was getting strangled
00:42:50or an ostrich was getting strangled,
00:42:52because all I hear is...
00:42:55It's Karina.
00:42:56Have you heard that woman?
00:42:59Her voice is travelling.
00:43:01Travelling into my ears.
00:43:03Travelling into my ears.
00:43:06It's bad when I can't hear Afina and I can only hear Karina.
00:43:16Good morning.
00:43:17Two.
00:43:18Three.
00:43:19Four.
00:43:20Hello.
00:43:21It's the morning before the traditional boys' and girls' night.
00:43:26Tonight, the group will divide along gender lines
00:43:29for the first time since their bucks and hens.
00:43:34I'm excited for tonight.
00:43:35Feeling bueno.
00:43:38Feeling good, yeah.
00:43:39I'm a lad's lad, I'm a boy's boy.
00:43:41It's always good to get that camaraderie around the guys.
00:43:46Oh, my God, the sun's actually hot.
00:43:49I'm excited for girls' night.
00:43:50I think it's going to be good,
00:43:51but, like, it is a super full moon tonight,
00:43:54so someone's going to be crying tonight.
00:43:58Emotions are going to run rampant.
00:44:00Someone's getting tossed in the Bay of Byron.
00:44:03LAUGHTER
00:44:07But not everyone is revelling in the spirit of the retreat.
00:44:12After last night's group chat around the campfire,
00:44:16Lauren has decided that this will be her last day in the experiment.
00:44:22There is no part of me that wants to go and sit in that group right now.
00:44:27Going and sitting in a group of lad people,
00:44:29trying to get a word in,
00:44:31and conversations I really don't even care about.
00:44:34It's a social experiment and I feel experimented on
00:44:36and I'm happy to leave now.
00:44:40Like, Clint and I woke up completely drained from last night.
00:44:44I was attacked with a barrage of awful opinions.
00:44:48They're very interested in Clint and my situation.
00:44:51Don't know why.
00:44:53I just can't do the relationship chat any longer.
00:44:59Yeah, no, I hear you.
00:45:00I don't want to talk about other people's relationships.
00:45:03I don't really want to be talking about mine.
00:45:06Yeah, no, I hear you for sure.
00:45:09Yep.
00:45:16Mixed feelings about Lauren wanting to leave.
00:45:19I feel a little bit disappointed.
00:45:25I'm here to get to know Lauren
00:45:27and really work on our relationship.
00:45:31But I'm hopeful and positive we're in a good place
00:45:35to advance our connection.
00:45:38Lauren and I just need to remove ourselves and have some quiet time.
00:45:46I made that my name in bowling, where we went bowling.
00:45:50I'm worried about Lauren.
00:45:52She's removed herself from the group.
00:45:54So I'm hoping to have a chat with her,
00:45:56just check in there.
00:45:57Hello.
00:45:58Hello.
00:45:59How are you?
00:46:00Good, how are you?
00:46:01I'm good.
00:46:02I wanted to come and talk to you.
00:46:03I guess, yeah, I just wanted to see if you're OK.
00:46:06Yeah, I appreciate that.
00:46:09What's wrong?
00:46:12We just, like, we just can't do it anymore.
00:46:14Even Clint doesn't want to do it either.
00:46:16Clint is the one that brought it up this morning.
00:46:19Really?
00:46:20Yeah.
00:46:21What's going on?
00:46:23Having to talk about everyone's relationships all the time,
00:46:26like, I feel like it's just like high school.
00:46:30Not having a good time.
00:46:31No.
00:46:32And Clint said the exact same thing.
00:46:34Yeah.
00:46:36I was surprised this morning how much Clint was like,
00:46:38I don't want to be here.
00:46:40Yeah.
00:46:42Yeah.
00:46:43I didn't realise it was that bad with Lauren
00:46:46to the point where she wanted to completely leave.
00:46:50It's a little bit disappointing to hear.
00:46:52Obviously, you know, I thought the second time around
00:46:54and seeing Lauren and Clint together,
00:46:56I feel like there is potential for such a great relationship there.
00:47:01You know, it's sad.
00:47:06Lauren wants to leave, her and Clint.
00:47:08Really?
00:47:09Yeah.
00:47:10I just had, like, a one-on-one with her
00:47:12and they just both want to leave the experiment.
00:47:14Are you kidding?
00:47:15No.
00:47:16What's their reason? They just don't want to be here?
00:47:18They're not enjoying it.
00:47:19They don't like the social environment of it.
00:47:22Where is she?
00:47:23As in staying in the experiment or as leaving the experiment?
00:47:26I think... No.
00:47:27They, like, want to leave everything.
00:47:29Wow.
00:47:30Yeah, she's just, like, not having fun at all.
00:47:34Like, why would you pack up and leave now?
00:47:36I feel like it's a massive waste and a huge missed opportunity.
00:47:39Like, give it a red-hot shot.
00:47:43I do feel sorry for Clint, to be honest,
00:47:45because I think it's Lauren who's really driving the leave.
00:47:49And he's just going along for that.
00:47:52Trying to be a good husband.
00:47:54Are you sure?
00:47:56Like, 100% want to go?
00:47:58Yeah.
00:47:59Sure?
00:48:00Yes.
00:48:11Lauren wants to leave, her and Clint.
00:48:13Really?
00:48:14Yeah.
00:48:15I just had, like, a one-on-one with her,
00:48:17and they just both want to leave the experiment.
00:48:19Are you kidding?
00:48:20No.
00:48:23I can see that this environment doesn't make her comfortable,
00:48:26but I didn't realise to the extent of actually leaving the experiment.
00:48:31From what I see, an outsider looking in,
00:48:34I think Clint is into Lauren.
00:48:36That is obvious.
00:48:39But then he wants to leave?
00:48:41That doesn't make sense to me.
00:48:42Lauren, Lauren was thinking of leaving.
00:48:45No!
00:48:47What happened?
00:48:49Where is she?
00:48:50Yeah, Rhi can explain.
00:48:51No.
00:48:52Rhi can explain.
00:48:53She's trying to do it.
00:48:54Yeah.
00:48:55I don't want, like, her to feel attacked,
00:48:57because she already feels, like, overwhelmed in, like, group settings.
00:49:00But she really, really is really struggling.
00:49:03That's a bullshit excuse.
00:49:05It is overwhelming for everyone.
00:49:08And this is why you chose to be here,
00:49:10and you have to sit here and, like, deal with it.
00:49:13To be honest, she got a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity twice.
00:49:16Not once, twice.
00:49:17And, um, she's been ungrateful.
00:49:21Lauren said that Clint wants to leave as, like, as well.
00:49:24I honestly think it's just bullshit.
00:49:26So, Rhi, is he leaving to show solidarity?
00:49:29Yes.
00:49:30He shut everyone down last time I asked him the question.
00:49:31Is he doing it because of her,
00:49:33or is he doing it because that's how he feels?
00:49:36To me, it definitely feels like Lauren's driving this.
00:49:38It's such a shame, because, like, Clint is so lovely,
00:49:42and he's got so many amazing attributes,
00:49:44and Lauren was so fortunate to get a second chance.
00:49:47And now she's ready to give up and leave.
00:49:51Yeah.
00:49:52I feel bad for Clint.
00:49:54He's so considerate of Lauren's feelings.
00:49:57He's considerate of her to the point he loses himself.
00:50:00I feel bad for Clint.
00:50:01I don't know.
00:50:02I feel like she's blaming a lot of external factors.
00:50:05She actually asked for another husband.
00:50:07She wanted to come back.
00:50:08Well, you're back.
00:50:10Give Clint a chance.
00:50:11Give this experiment a chance,
00:50:12because he's obviously trying really hard.
00:50:15And if you're feeling overwhelmed in this environment,
00:50:17put yourself in Clint's shoes.
00:50:20How do you feel?
00:50:21Just more and more drained by the second.
00:50:25I'm sure he doesn't want to leave.
00:50:26Let's be real.
00:50:27He's having a good time.
00:50:28It's me or get along.
00:50:29He doesn't want to leave.
00:50:30But he was saved because she saved him.
00:50:33I kind of agree with Akred, to be honest.
00:50:35Me and Jamie have seen it eye to eye.
00:50:36I'm like, I'm liking this.
00:50:39Me and Jamie see Lauren and Clint's situation exactly the same.
00:50:42And it's actually quite nice to have Jamie on my side as well.
00:50:44You know, I feel like together we're a good team.
00:50:47Unlikely duo.
00:50:49This is her second chance.
00:50:50Yeah.
00:50:51And she got so mad at Elliot
00:50:53for like not giving it a go and leaving.
00:50:55And like, yeah, she's been here longer,
00:50:56but is she giving it a go?
00:50:58Yeah, that's right.
00:50:59It doesn't look like she's giving it a go.
00:51:01You came in and you had a go at Elliot for leaving.
00:51:03But you're willing to do what Elliot done to you and leave.
00:51:06Which is not fair.
00:51:08Worst part is, you know what that felt like.
00:51:10Now you're doing it to someone else.
00:51:12You know, she had a cry at Elliot for what he'd done
00:51:14and she's doing the same.
00:51:17She's just pushing him over and he's allowing it.
00:51:19And I don't like that.
00:51:21I don't think anyone is OK with it.
00:51:22And I think it's all going to come up tonight, to be honest.
00:51:26If Lauren and Clint are planning on leaving the next 24 hours,
00:51:30it's really important tonight
00:51:31that I do make sure that we're using this opportunity
00:51:34to really, like, save their relationship.
00:51:37I think this is why the brilliance of Boys and Girls Night.
00:51:40Luckily, tonight is Boys and Girls Night.
00:51:43We'll get us girls to, like, talk to her
00:51:46and you guys can actually get to the core of what's going on with him.
00:51:50The guys really need to understand how Clint's feeling.
00:51:53They need to find out how it's really going, how he feels.
00:51:56You know, I feel like he's been just trying to cater to her needs
00:51:58and his needs have been left behind.
00:52:02On our end, we need to stop enabling Lauren, I think.
00:52:07We need to give Lauren more some home truce.
00:52:10Yeah, she should be reminded
00:52:11that you are being a bit of a spoiled brat right now, you know?
00:52:15Well, look, we've got good intention,
00:52:16cos at the end of the day, we're trying to, like, you know,
00:52:19shake her and be like, you got a good beard?
00:52:21Like, give it a go.
00:52:22Oh, my God, are we joining forces?
00:52:24I don't know.
00:52:25What's happening?
00:52:27I feel dirty.
00:52:30I think hell's frozen over
00:52:32and we're all skating back to Sydney after this
00:52:35because Adrian and I have joined forces.
00:52:38I love how we're in this position, Adrian.
00:52:41Adrian and Jermia, two Greeks in this little maths world,
00:52:45are coming in to bring order in the kingdom.
00:52:52Coming up...
00:52:53The Bogans just keep boganing with their boganic ways.
00:52:57They can't help it.
00:52:58Lauren doesn't hold back.
00:53:01Do you know what? This conversation is so boring.
00:53:03I'm over it.
00:53:04Lauren, don't be rude.
00:53:06The attitude is just unreal right now.
00:53:14It's the couple's retreat in Byron Bay.
00:53:18What am I allowed to talk about tonight?
00:53:22And tonight is boys' and girls' night.
00:53:25Girls' night, you ready for it?
00:53:27Yeah.
00:53:28I am so excited for tonight.
00:53:30I think it's going to be so good for the ladies
00:53:31to just have some gal time,
00:53:33just debrief on the week,
00:53:35how we're feeling with our relationships with each other.
00:53:37How do you reckon your girls' night's going to go?
00:53:39Yeah, I have quite a few questions for Lauren.
00:53:43I don't know, I just don't want his time to be wasted
00:53:45because he's such an amazing person.
00:53:46He's a really nice guy.
00:53:47And I don't know, I just feel like...
00:53:49I mean...
00:53:50She's stringing him along.
00:53:51Clint's a really great guy
00:53:52and he's been really, like, patient
00:53:54and understanding with Lauren
00:53:56and I just feel like it's a little unfair
00:53:58that she hasn't really given this experiment a shot.
00:54:01Honestly, she sounds like a bit of a printer.
00:54:04I'm actually, like, really nervous about it, to be honest.
00:54:08She doesn't love the group setting.
00:54:09She finds it intimidating.
00:54:11She finds it uncomfortable.
00:54:13And then, obviously, the girls' night.
00:54:17And I feel like a lot of people have a lot to say and ask her.
00:54:27For this evening's girls' night,
00:54:30the brides have arrived at an off-site location.
00:54:35Girls' night!
00:54:39Well, this is nice, isn't it?
00:54:41I think I might go the rosé.
00:54:44It's really nice.
00:54:45Oh, gosh, no.
00:54:46It smells like tequila.
00:54:49It's girls' night in Byron Bay.
00:54:51Bring out the champagne.
00:54:53We need a girls' night just to have some fun.
00:54:56Cheers, cheers.
00:54:57All of us under one roof without our men.
00:55:01Cheers to no men being around.
00:55:03No men.
00:55:04Just the ladies.
00:55:05Let it all out.
00:55:06OK, guys, so the conversation worked last night.
00:55:09So, yeah, we had sex this morning.
00:55:15Good. Fantastic.
00:55:17I'm about to say, Jackie, now you're going to be like,
00:55:18oh, my plan worked all along.
00:55:20That's not what I wanted.
00:55:25It absolutely hurts my soul from the moment I wake up
00:55:27knowing I have to deal with these people.
00:55:29Bench press me, baby.
00:55:32I genuinely do not give a flying bat's poo about these people.
00:55:42This is lovely.
00:55:44Cheers, eh?
00:55:45I'm feeling good going to boys' night.
00:55:47Hey.
00:55:48Hey, boys.
00:55:50I'm super pumped.
00:55:51I'm one of those guys that, you know, live for the boys.
00:55:53Cheers, cheers, cheers.
00:55:54Cheers, boys.
00:55:55Cheers.
00:55:56Where is everyone?
00:55:57Where's Clint?
00:55:59I haven't seen Clint all day.
00:56:01Yeah, I mean, I have a few questions I want to ask Clint.
00:56:05Hey, what's going on here?
00:56:08I think it's a great opportunity to ask Clint how he feels
00:56:10and if he wants to be here.
00:56:13Hey, TJ.
00:56:14I just want to address something with you, man-to-man.
00:56:17Do you feel comfortable with your wife saying things like,
00:56:22oh, you'd rather go to the gym than f*** your wife's b****?
00:56:30I was really offended by that.
00:56:32You know, like, my sexual relationship shouldn't have been put forth in those terms.
00:56:37You know, like, that was...
00:56:38Hold on, do you feel comfortable, like, commenting on your wife giving good b****?
00:56:43Yeah, like, I've taken accountability for that.
00:56:45That was a mistake, 100%.
00:56:46So, you could have a mistake, but someone else can't have a mistake.
00:56:49No, I'm just saying, how do you feel about that?
00:56:51Well, I didn't know at the time and only found that out today.
00:56:53But, Ryan, are you having a go at TJ for what Beth said?
00:56:55Yeah, that's...
00:56:56Is that what's happening here?
00:56:57Like, why are you having a go at TJ for what Beth said?
00:56:59I'm not having a go, I'm just asking.
00:57:00You just sat down and had a go at him.
00:57:01Yeah, I'm just asking you, man-to-man, if you were in my position
00:57:04and that was your discussion about your intimate life
00:57:06and then someone sat down and said that, how would you feel about that?
00:57:09Probably wouldn't call your wife classless.
00:57:11Probably wouldn't call your wife classless.
00:57:15Beth told me that Ryan said that she was classless, which isn't right.
00:57:19It makes me pretty frustrated.
00:57:21I understand, like, she could have used different words,
00:57:23but you're calling someone classless?
00:57:25Like...
00:57:27If he said that to my wife, I wouldn't have been as cool and calm as he has been.
00:57:31So, I'd be a bit more careful trying to call him out on his wife's behaviour.
00:57:35Beth could have used different words, but you saying classless is just not a...
00:57:38I don't think...
00:57:39Yeah, I'm sorry for calling her classless.
00:57:43It's good that Ryan has apologised to me, but he needs to apologise to Beth.
00:57:47Just, yeah, it was a charged scenario, yeah.
00:57:49Yeah.
00:57:50I mean, Ryan and TJ were talking about...
00:57:53I didn't even know.
00:57:54Things got heated in that moment and, yeah, I was just shocked.
00:57:57I was sitting there going,
00:57:58I don't want to talk about my wife's vagina in that way, like...
00:58:01Forget that.
00:58:02Let's get to, you know, the real problem here.
00:58:05Clint, why don't you tell us, like, where you guys are at?
00:58:08And we're hearing you're leaving.
00:58:10I'm just curious.
00:58:11Why are you thinking about leaving this morning?
00:58:14Yeah, yeah, so...
00:58:15Yeah, no, good question.
00:58:17So, this morning, we woke up and it was like...
00:58:21We both checked out.
00:58:22We just both...
00:58:23Not checked out with each other, but...
00:58:24Yeah, yeah.
00:58:25We probably both worked out that we're more introverted than we thought.
00:58:31None of us are, like, coming out to get you,
00:58:33but it's more like we're watching this kind of unfold.
00:58:35And you say, like, you had this conversation with Lauren this morning.
00:58:38You came to this agreement.
00:58:39Like, was it both of you or was it her kind of...
00:58:42Yeah.
00:58:43It looks like you want to be here to me.
00:58:47Not quite.
00:58:48It sounds like she's doing what I did, but she's managing you.
00:58:52Yeah, exactly.
00:58:53That's what we're trying to say, yeah.
00:58:54Manipulation, right?
00:58:56I don't know, Elliot.
00:58:57That's a big call.
00:58:59She is dragging Clint along for the ride.
00:59:02She wants to make herself look better, leaving this experiment with someone.
00:59:05Because if she left on her own accord,
00:59:07after bagging the shit out of Elliot for doing that to her,
00:59:10she would look like an idiot.
00:59:12She reassures me every single time she says she wants to leave,
00:59:14she always says, just so you know, it's not about you.
00:59:19I definitely think that Lauren's running the show.
00:59:22She's controlling him like a puppet.
00:59:25Like, you're a f***ing catch, man.
00:59:26Yeah.
00:59:28100%.
00:59:29That's why we're essentially all upset, bro,
00:59:31because we can see you're a great guy.
00:59:32I appreciate that.
00:59:34And you're putting her first.
00:59:35But we're just like, we all know you want to stay, man.
00:59:38And that's it.
00:59:44Lauren, how are you feeling?
00:59:47I heard that you wanted to leave.
00:59:50Yeah.
00:59:53We probably aren't going to stay.
00:59:55Why is that?
00:59:56It's the environment and the experiment for us.
00:59:58I feel like in this environment, with so many big personalities,
01:00:02I'm like going into my shell.
01:00:05And then this morning, Clint woke up and said,
01:00:07I do not want to be here.
01:00:14I think it's more so because you want to leave
01:00:16and he wants to make you feel comfortable.
01:00:18Yeah.
01:00:19I feel like he's such a genuine guy and he wants it to work
01:00:22and I just feel like you've wasted his time a little bit
01:00:25by not trying hard enough.
01:00:28She doesn't care about Clint.
01:00:29She doesn't care about the experiment.
01:00:31We're all trying really hard, but you're not willing to try.
01:00:36You're not going to give this experiment a proper go.
01:00:38I'm not trying to call you out or anything,
01:00:40but I just feel like maybe you're just blaming external factors
01:00:44and really, I actually feel like maybe you're just not interested in Clint.
01:00:48That's how I feel.
01:00:49I think that's what it is.
01:00:50I can't say it enough times.
01:00:51I don't care about these people.
01:00:53I don't care what they think.
01:00:55I appreciate everyone has their opinion,
01:00:57but it just doesn't really have a lot of impact on how I feel.
01:01:05Your opinions, it just has very little impact on how I feel.
01:01:08I'm not trying to impact you in my opinion.
01:01:10I'm just voicing it.
01:01:11I'm trying to understand you.
01:01:12The thing is, you are so lucky to have been given a second opportunity
01:01:16with someone that you're saying is so much better
01:01:19than your first match for your personality or whatever.
01:01:24I appreciate everyone has their opinion,
01:01:26but it just doesn't have a lot of impact.
01:01:34Who is this person?
01:01:35She has been so cold and reserved from the get-go,
01:01:39and I've consistently gone, maybe she's just reserved.
01:01:43I really, I don't need to have this conversation.
01:01:46I think I've realised what the issue is.
01:01:50I think Lauren is a bitch.
01:01:55I just don't feel like I need to share it with all of you.
01:01:58I think Lauren thinks she's better than us.
01:02:00She acts like she's the Queen of England.
01:02:05Like, she just looks down and yells at everyone.
01:02:08I feel like you need to say that for yourself.
01:02:11I don't feel like I owe you any explanations.
01:02:14She essentially told us our opinion didn't matter to her.
01:02:18She doesn't actually care.
01:02:20It's almost like I can feel the hatred coming off her.
01:02:31The Bogans just keep boganing with their Boganic ways.
01:02:36They can't help it.
01:02:37But just remember...
01:02:39No, you know what, we just want you to...
01:02:41I'm sorry.
01:02:44Just another night in paradise
01:02:46with these absolute feral people.
01:02:58We still don't know what's going on.
01:03:00What are you unsure of? What do you think?
01:03:02She said, like, positive things about you?
01:03:04Yeah, absolutely.
01:03:06What does she like about you?
01:03:07She said I'm the nicest guy she's ever met.
01:03:10She said she hated that at the dinner party.
01:03:12I know.
01:03:14So, um...
01:03:15Like, obviously you're saying
01:03:16that you would pursue a relationship with Lauren?
01:03:18Yeah, absolutely. I would give it the opportunity.
01:03:20And that's why I'm...
01:03:21But would she give it the opportunity?
01:03:22No, she won't.
01:03:23I'm not trying to say anything, but, like,
01:03:25what I see and I think what everyone else here can agree,
01:03:27there's no way, bro.
01:03:28Once she's gone, she's gone from you.
01:03:31Mate, that's your opinion. No problem.
01:03:33You can have your opinion.
01:03:35I don't agree with it.
01:03:37I can see in Lauren her intentions
01:03:41and you guys might not see that.
01:03:43And that's OK. I'm here.
01:03:45And I believe in her.
01:03:47What happens if you get out, you're never here from her again?
01:03:50And that's OK. I'm willing to take that risk.
01:03:52Cos, you know what, I'm in here,
01:03:54and my mindset is that I'm going to back her and I
01:03:57till the day we leave.
01:04:01Everyone's been bonding.
01:04:02Like, we didn't see your Clint at all today.
01:04:04Yeah.
01:04:05You know what I mean?
01:04:06Like, there was no issues with any of us.
01:04:08Listen, but we signed up to be matched with someone,
01:04:10not to come and, like, discuss our relationship openly
01:04:13with people that we have that we need to do.
01:04:15We're here for that.
01:04:16That's why you're here and that's why you want to stay.
01:04:18Actually, Lauren, you had a lot of fun doing it
01:04:20when you were talking about Elliot to all of us.
01:04:22Not going to lie.
01:04:23It just doesn't make any sense why you do this.
01:04:25We all backed...
01:04:26You know what, this conversation is so boring.
01:04:28I'm over it.
01:04:29Lauren, don't be rude. Don't do that.
01:04:31Cos we've all backed you and you're going to look really silly.
01:04:33That attitude is just unreal right now.
01:04:35She's such a snob.
01:04:37Absolutely, Lauren thinks she's too good for us.
01:04:40She's bored of this conversation.
01:04:43And she doesn't want to have to have this conversation.
01:04:46And she doesn't want to have to talk about me...
01:04:54I knew that was going to happen.
01:04:57The ice queen cracked.
01:04:59I knew that would happen. I called it.
01:05:01I knew she'd walk out.
01:05:02We actually just want the best for her as well.
01:05:04They're f***ing losers.
01:05:06And she's still going and now she's leaving now.
01:05:09Like, we're all sitting here trying to understand her f***ing side.
01:05:13Honestly, I kind of expected that reaction from Lauren.
01:05:17Like, you can dish it out but you can't take it.
01:05:19We just want honesty.
01:05:20We want her to stay.
01:05:21I'm just bored with these people.
01:05:22They're just such losers.
01:05:23I don't want to spend another minute with them.
01:05:28Tomorrow night.
01:05:31Tomorrow night.
01:05:35The retreat continues.
01:05:37I'm feeling very re-energised right now.
01:05:40And it's exactly what our couples need to deepen bonds.
01:05:44This retreat's incredible for us.
01:05:46Just perfect to just have a little reset.
01:05:49And mend wounds.
01:05:51I think the retreat has been the turning point.
01:05:53We're back to our old selves where we're having fun together.
01:05:57Sorry, man. I just want to chat, man.
01:06:00Dave drops an almighty truth bomb on Clint.
01:06:03Lauren, she's been saying that there's no spark.
01:06:06She's not interested.
01:06:07And then...
01:06:08You're a bunch of wild animals.
01:06:10That's what it felt like.
01:06:11No, no, no. No, no, no.
01:06:12Don't, don't even go there.
01:06:14At the final night drinks...
01:06:16Rhi and Karina both said that they felt like I was attacked.
01:06:20What?
01:06:21Loyalties will be tested.
01:06:23Don't defend her.
01:06:25Chill out.
01:06:26Don't back her up.
01:06:27As friendships hang by a thread.
01:06:30When it serves you well, when I'm yelling for you, then it's OK.
01:06:35But where is my defence?
