NARRATOR: Previously...

I've written, "Leave."

I can leave knowing that I really
did give it my best shot.

NARRATOR: Veronica and Eliot
left the experiment.

We wanted to see a different Eliot.

We are thrilled at the progress
and the self-development.

Thank you.

NARRATOR: Paul received
some hard truths.

You're lacking emotional
intelligence.

There seems to be a sensitivity chip
missing.

After our time apart,

I did realise that, you know,
I do care for Awhina.

NARRATOR: And as some couples
blossomed...

I definitely am all in.

It's growing stronger
every single day

and it is becoming
really special for me.

You've got some explaining to do.

You were detached, you were cold.

Do you understand
the way you're behaving

to this woman who has given you
everything?

NARRATOR: Dave was put on notice.

This is real

and yes, the romantic side,
I should've worked harder on it

and I'm sorry.

I don't believe you right now.

But I will humour him
with another week.

NARRATOR: Tonight...

Welcome to my humble abode.

..it's homestays week...

Welcome!
Thank you.

I'm home!

Oh, my god!

NARRATOR: Over two big nights,

our couples get a taste
of what their married lives

might look like outside
of the experiment.

And for Paul, it's a religious
experience.

They're married, but not in the eyes
of the church.

When they come into the family home,
they need to be separated.

NARRATOR: Then...

Your shoes are not allowed
on my bed.

..it's Jacqui's house,
Jacqui's rules.

Jacqui is the most difficult person.

NARRATOR: Jacqui asks
the big question.

Your beard isn't very manly.

NARRATOR: To beard
or not to be beard.

It's a beard, Jacqui!

So, are you falling in love
with Jamie?

NARRATOR: Protective sisters
demand answers.

NARRATOR: Adrian, once again, faces
off with Awhina's twin sister.

I don't have a very good opinion
of Adrian,

or his family or his friends.

Why don't you go inside so me
and Adrian can have a chat?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(LIVELY MUSIC)

NARRATOR: It's the morning after
an intense commitment ceremony...

Dave copped a bit of a spray.

He did, didn't he?
Yeah.

..where the recent collapse

of one of the experiments
strongest couples,

Jamie and Dave,

has everyone feeling unsettled.

Sitting there and listening
to Jamie, she is amazing.

Yeah, she's so well spoken.
She's really good.

She's so strong.
Yeah.

She's been giving a lot
to that relationship.

Yeah. She does so much.

NARRATOR: After a strong
and steady start,

in which Jamie declared
she was in love with her husband,

Jamie and Dave's marriage
began to abruptly unravel

in the space of a few short days.

The last conversation we had,
you said that your feelings

are in the same place and
I questioned your attraction to me.

It's because they're not there,
the feelings aren't there

as much as I thought they would be.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

NARRATOR: With the couple
now living apart,

it was left to the experts to unpack

why Dave had continued an intimate
relationship with his wife

when he knew his feelings
were in question.

I don't understand it.

Neither does she and neither does
the whole group.

You've got some explaining to do.

When Jamie told me she loved me,
I freaked out a little bit.

I'm not there yet
and it's scary for me.

Seeing him explain himself,

like, he's obviously
the kind of person

that when it does kind of get
too serious, he runs away.

You know, he admitted that,
so I think, I hope

that's something he can overcome.

Everyone shows their feelings
in a different way

and maybe he just doesn't express
them like Jamie does

but at the same time, like, yeah,
it was hard to watch

like how he was acting.

Yeah.

I know Dave really well.

But the Dave I've seen
over the past few days

isn't the Dave I know.

You know, the way he's treated Jamie
is a real shock to me.

But I'm glad to see them
both write, "Stay."

Yeah, 100%.
Yeah.

I'm glad they're giving it
another week

and, you know, hopefully Dave
can pull his finger out.

Obviously, last night, he told Jamie
that he's willing to stay

and willing to give it a shot.

So, I really hope
that he just, you know,

does what he needs to do this week

and gets their relationship
back on track.

DAVE: The commitment ceremony,
as hard as it was last night...

Yeah, it needed to be done.

Coming out of feedback week was...

..wasn't quite who I am as a person.

Jamie questioning my feelings,
touched a nerve for me.

On top of that, when she said
that she loved me,

yeah, I just put my walls up.

Last week, I was in my own
head a lot.

I just didn't care about much going
on around me.

I just tried to block
everything out.

And in doing that, I've forgot about
everything

that we worked on here
and how special it is.

Yeah, I need to show Jamie
that I care and help Jamie feel

not rejected and that she does
matter.

I want to make her feel wanted
and needed, so clear as day,

I know what I need to do.

NARRATOR: But Dave
isn't the only groom

scrambling to fix his relationship
this morning.

So? How are you feeling
after last night?

Um, I'm going to lie,
I'm not feeling the best.

That's for sure.

NARRATOR: Paul has
some making up to do, too,

after publicly sharing a comment

wife, Carina, made to him
in confidence.

So, when I told Carina,
"Oh, look, I know Awhina

"because I used to date
her twin sister."...

NARRATOR: Having already shared
what was said with Awhina

and caused an awkward rift
between the two wives,

Paul's actions were called out
by the experts.

The whole thing could have
been avoided

if you simply had spoken
to your wife

about what was bothering you
about her comment.

Yeah, I really do regret
bringing that up.

I should have just had that
one-on-one conversation with you.

Yeah.

Hearing that I've lost your trust,

so now you have your walls up,
yeah, it's...

It is my fault but yeah, it's...

It was a bit of a hard pill
to swallow, I think.

It's pissing me off that we sort of,
yeah, that we sort of,

you know, that it ended up this way.

Yeah.

Yeah, it's made me feel like shit.

I regret the way everything
went down,

the way I sort of raised
that issue was wrong.

I genuinely feel bad for it.

Like, I've been trying my hardest,
I've been trying my best.

I'm feeling like I've just put
my whole self into this experiment.

This isn't easy, this whole thing
isn't easy.

I'm just, yeah...

You're allowed to feel
how you're feeling right now.

Paul is quite upset.

And I'm still processing everything

but there's only so long
I can be angry at him for.

Because I still adore him.

I guess we just have to, um, yeah,
try and reconnect

and just be understanding
of each other's feelings

and how sensitive we both are.
Yeah, I want to do that.

I need to focus on the future
and move forward with my partner.

So, I just have to let things go.

I guess it's feedback and advice
we can learn from.

Yeah.

(UPLIFTING MUSIC)

NARRATOR: With the end of the
experiment drawing ever nearer...

OK, I'm coming!

Hey! Oh, shit!

..our couples are preparing...

The clothes are spawning.

..for one of the most revealing
phases of all.

I cannot wait to go home.

Oh, same. I'm so excited.

I feel like this feels like home,

so it's going to be weird
actually going back to Melbourne.

Yeah, it will actually.

NARRATOR: Homestays will be
an opportunity

for our brides and grooms
to bring their partner home

and introduce them to their families,
friends, and daily routines...

I can't wait for you to meet my dog.

He's going to love you.
Is he going to like me?

Yeah.
..and in Beth's case,

it will be for the first time ever.

It is very strange to be taking a
guy to my home, meeting my family.

It's weird 'cause, like, I've never
had a boyfriend,

I've always been single.

It is a very odd feeling.

Alright, let's get out of here.

Let's go home, babe.

Homestays allow our participants

valuable insight into
their partner's world.

There's Ryan everywhere, so I've got
my antique samurai sword.

This week is also the perfect
opportunity

for our couples to put into practice
all that they've learned

from this experiment so far

before they make their final
decision

whether or not to commit beyond
the experiment.

It's decorated in like a bit of
a lone wolf style of things.

I've got all my souvenirs,
you know?

NARRATOR: For Jacqui and Ryan,
any hope of blending their lives

outside the experiment

rests on overcoming their recent
difficulties with compromise...

She came back in after the task
and said,

"How do you feel about being
a stay-at-home dad?"

I'm sorry, but I just don't...
I don't want that.

If I get an opportunity

where I can go to New York
for six months and work,

I want to be able to take
that opportunity.

If I'm in a coma...

..I need to know that my husband
is going to step up to the plate.

..and while negotiations
about future scenarios

of all kinds can wait,

a more immediate concern is the
pair's vastly different lifestyles.

You're going to southwest Sydney.

There'll be my dog there.

NARRATOR: From Ryan's bachelor
pad in the outer burbs...

We'll do some tanning
in the backyard.

..to Jacqui's coastal retreat
in Sydney's northern beaches.

Do you have nice, like, blue clothes
for the beach?

I'll just be topless the whole time,
getting a tan.

It's not topless.

(LAUGHS)
It's, yeah, beachy.

My biggest concern is that Ryan is
not open to compromising on living.

I like finer things in life

and currently, Ryan and I live
about an hour and a half apart,

so realistically, if Ryan and I
want to build a future,

someone's going to have to move.

Would you be open to moving to Manly
if you really liked it?

Like, are you going to go
into this, like, thinking,

like, "This is Jacqui's hometown."?

Um, you know, like,
"I need to consider myself

"seriously living here."

Is that the mindset you've got?

Well, it's going to be
a lot of things.

It's going to be a lot of things

'cause obviously, I've always
grown up with plenty of land,

a backyard for a dog.

That's great.
Yeah.

So, Jacqui is very adamant about
the potential of me moving to Manly

but I do have a mortgage, I do have
a dog that needs an open space.

This is a taste of life
outside the experiment.

It's really important to me
that we can be cohesive

and just down to earth,

you know, if these things can't
match up

then yeah, like, the future looks
uncertain.

A croquet - no, I do not.

So, the quicker we get in,
the quicker we get out.

Sounds about right, you being quick,
in and out. (CHUCKLES)

NARRATOR: For Awhina and Adrian,
a homestays experience

with her family back in Perth
is coming at a pivotal time.

I'm actually looking forward to it.

It's no secret Adrian and I
had a really rough patch

there for a little bit.

There was a point where I chose
to leave.

But since deciding to stay,
and we've been building

on our relationship again, we're
actually starting to better for it.

However, I'm still not feeling
great.

Like, I feel like there's
some work to do.

So, unfortunately, like, as much
as I would have loved

to have introduced my partner
to my son,

we're not in a place
where we're ready for that.

How far from the beach
do you live in Perth?

Five minutes.
Yeah?

NARRATOR: While the decision
has been made

that Adrian will not meet
Awhina's son,

he will be seeing
her other loved ones

including one of her most protective
family members.

You are focusing a lot
on the negatives

because from what...
He hasn't even up.

From what I've heard...
So, let's just stop it there.

He has not even shown up.
From what I'm heard...

Not even once.

NARRATOR: During family
and friends week,

Awhina's twin, Cleo,
went head-to-head with Adrian,

his twin sisters and friend,

over reasons why Awhina
was so unhappy in her marriage.

I was talking.
He has not even - I don't care.

He has not shown up,
not even once.

It was three against one.

Awhina deserves a kind, loving
partner who's going to support her.

You nervous about anything?

Um..

No, I'm actually not.

I'm really not.

I think your sister
should be nervous but.

I don't think my sister
should be nervous, Adrian.

Um, yeah, I don't know how
I'm going to go with seeing Cleo.

I'm going to put you in a good mood
before we go there.

That is one of my biggest issues
that we have.

I'm not sure, I should be fine.

She will be fine
and you will be too.

Yeah.
Yeah.

I'm feeling good
about our relationship

but homestays is going
to be big for us.

Because we both
are so big on family.

I feel like you want to go to war
with me.

In my mind, if it goes the way
it went last time I met Cleo...

If our families can't be together,
then we can't be together.

You ready?

It's as simple as that.

(LAUGHS)

NARRATOR: Our couples are heading
to each other's homes

to begin homestays...

I'm going to have to come back
for that one. It's too heavy.

I've got it.

..a chance to road-test
their relationships

in the outside world

ahead of decision time at final vows.

(INDISTINCT) (BLEEP) kill us.

NARRATOR: But as two of our couples
are already arriving

on the other side of the country
in Perth,

one has yet to even leave
the apartments in Sydney.

Yeah, I think it's important to have
a chat with Jamie this morning.

You know, we're both from Melbourne

but I don't know if we're still
going there for homestays.

Someone order a husband?

These are for you.

Flowers.

That's... And that one too.

All I do know is I need to take
charge and sort of step up

and make her feel wanted
and needed and not rejected.

I need to show Jamie that I care.

Very pretty.

Very pretty.

Thank you. That's nice of you.

Um...

You know, obviously,
the last commitment ceremony,

was hard for both of us...

Yeah.

..and I know that you've
been hurting

and I know that I've hurt you
as well.

I showed up, I wrote, "Stay",
I want to try and I want to fight.

That's why I'm here.

It's just... It's hard right now.

In the last couple of days,

I feel like I kept giving you
an opportunity

and you just kept throwing it
in my face...

Yeah.
..and it was, like,

repeatedly hurting me
and repeatedly breaking my trust

and repeatedly letting me down.

When you said you loved me,
it felt like a big deal,

and it was a lot. I just...

Yeah, it was all imploding
in my head, it felt like,

and I was just - couldn't express
the emotional side of things

because I was scared
and I had my walls up.

The feelings are there.

And as much as I didn't show
them yesterday or the day before,

I think it was because there was
so much going on

and I'm sorry for that.

I understand feeling overwhelmed.

But it's gone from one extreme
to the other

and I feel like my head
is a bit everywhere.

I'm just very hurt.
Yeah.

Like, I'm in a place where,
like, trust is, like, severed.

Yeah.

It's just really hard, the whole
conversation, being in his presence,

I'm still very uncomfortable.

It makes me anxious,
makes me unsettled.

I don't really want to go
to Melbourne.

I don't want to mesh our worlds
together.

Like, there's so much, like, hurt.

Up until 12 hours ago, I wanted to
murder you with my bare hands.

I think I really need some more time
to think about homestays.

I just, like, he doesn't feel
like my safe space.

I'm really, like, just my feels
are in a box somewhere right now.

(UPLIFTING MUSIC)

No, I actually painted that wall
myself and put the wood things on.

And then Cleo and I have matching
signs, neon signs that we bought.

NARRATOR: In Perth,

having dropped her son
to his grandparents for the day,

Awhina is making the most
of an empty house

to give Adrian a tour.

It's my son's 'cause he does MMA.

I'm just glad to be home.

Like, I really just hope
we have a great week.

It'll be nice for Adrian to see me
in my own soil.

But yeah, I don't know, like,
I'd be lying

if I said I wasn't
a little bit worried.

That was another Bali painting.

We are going to be seeing
my twin sister

and I don't know how he's going
to react.

I'm hoping so.

Like, we're in a healthy place
right now.

I don't see a reason for him to want
to stir things or stir the pot.

NARRATOR: With a family lunch
scheduled for tomorrow,

Awhina has decided some baked treats
might help keep the mood sweet.

Are you looking forward to seeing
my sister?

No.

As if I'd be looking forward
to seeing your sister.

Obviously, we all had a little bit
of a disagreement. (CHUCKLES)

I wouldn't say disagreement, but...

My twin sister never usually would
voice up like that

but she's seen
that I was struggling,

I just felt so little
and she jumped in.

I still believe your sister owes me
an apology, but...

Yeah, I mean,
unless I'm delusional here

and I'm completely in the wrong...

You know, it's just...

You just like to piss me off.

Plus, I'm not grumpy over it
anymore.

I'm grumpy when you're still
grumpy over it.

I'm not grumpy over it.

When you say things...
Like I said, I still believe

she should apologise.
I don't think she should though.

Why should she apologise?

For screaming and yelling
at someone. Just like...

OK, I really wasn't
in a happy place then.

That doesn't give you
the right to...

No, but you actually had treated me
really poorly prior to that.

No, I hadn't.
Yeah, you did.

Oh, BS. It hadn't even really
happened at this point, OK?

I don't think she owes him
an apology.

If anything, I think I deserve
an apology.

Because of the end of the day,
I went through some real shit,

I was really upset.

I mean, you're just going to see
my sister.

It doesn't really matter, OK?
Yeah.

Stop mentioning the apology.

I'm asking for one.

I'm not going to listen to it
anymore about my sister.

Maybe I'm a little bit stubborn.

I still think, you know, Cleo was
the cause of the problem.

Like, last time, it was ugly
and I was uncomfortable.

I still want her to take
some accountability.

I won't be happy
until Cleo apologises.

NARRATOR: Coming up...

(RELIGIOUS MUSIC)

No, so, like, so, I am,
like, not religious.

NARRATOR: As homestays shines
a light on life's deepest topics...

What's wrong with clean-shaven,

particularly if your wife
will find you more attractive?

..one couple gets stuck
at the surface.

It's a beard, Jacqui!

It's so sad that I was given someone
who's not open to anything.

NARRATOR: And later...

I didn't agree with the comments

and how aggressive they were coming
at my sister.

..will Adrian get his apology...

You've dismissed her feelings
on multiple occasions.

..when he comes face-to-face
with Awhina's twin, Cleo?

I felt how I behaved was valid.

NARRATOR: In Perth, Carina and Paul
are using homestays

as an opportunity to put their recent
challenges behind them

and focus on something important
to them both.

Welcome to my humble abode!

(LAUGHTER)

My family is everything to me

and since my last relationship
ended,

I did move back to my parents'
house.

So, yes, Paul is going to be
staying under their roof as well.

He is, yeah, in for a treat.

He loves a big family and that's
exactly what he's getting.

Oh! Hey!

(OVERLAPPING GREETINGS)

You look gorgeous, Carina.

You look so pretty!

You bought flowers!

(OVERLAPPING DIALOGUE)

How have you been?
How are you?

Hello! Good to see you again!
Hi, son-in-law.

(LAUGHS)

It was so great to see her.

I missed her so much.

She's our baby.
She's our little girl.

I know she's a married
woman now

but it feels great
to have her back home.

This is so pretty.

Thank you.
Oh, you're welcome, Carina.

You deserve them.

Yeah, my parents
are quite welcoming.

Hello!
Oh, my gosh!

My little boy! You smell so clean!

However...

A male under their roof
that's my husband,

yeah, that's another story.

Cartier!

They're going to be quite protective
and strict.

Almost done with the pasta.

Being from a very traditional family
like I am,

my family's faith is very important
to them.

That looks amazing.

Growing up, my parents
had a family business

and we did have it hard.

They raised five kids,
all by juggling,

and I think religion provided
some validation or guidance.

I'll sit over here.

It's a sense of community,
and it was the glue

that holds our family together.

I'll just say a very quick prayer.

Father, son, holy spirit,

thank you for the blessings
you empowered onto this family.

We ask you to continue
to bless us all.

We're catholic.

We believe in the sanctity
of marriage.

And that's probably something that's
a little bit of an issue for me

at the moment.

You honestly have
such a beautiful home.

Oh, thank you.

Because they're married, but not
in the law of the church,

in the eyes of the church,
they're not married.

This is my room

and this is your room.

Separate rooms.
OK.

So, they need to learn that when
they come into the family home,

they just need to be separated

until they decide what their future
is going to hold.

(RELIGIOUS MUSIC)

This is a nice... This is a
nice bedroom.

This is what you have as well.

(LAUGHTER)
Next to your bed.

(LAUGHS) I don't know
who put the crucifix!

I feel like my mum
would have done that.

Do I have to go to bed
every night and...

You have to pray to Mother Mary
and thank you, Jesus,

for bringing you into my family.

I love that.

I do think Mum is definitely trying
to send Paul a message.

The next one will probably be going
to visit a church

and maybe get him baptised.
Who knows? (LAUGHS)

He actually has no idea
what else is coming.

So, hopefully, he doesn't get
a fright.

NARRATOR: Back in Sydney,

Jacqui's hoping to sell the merits
of her Northern Beaches lifestyle

to husband, Ryan.

I really, really need Ryan
to actually consider

moving to Manly.

He never puts my needs first.

Here we are!
Ooh! Jacqui's kingdom.

And I really hope that despite
the weather,

Ryan can kinda get a sense
of what's important to me.

So, welcome to Manly.

You can smell the lifestyle.
Casa de Jacqui.

(CHUCKLES)

Yeah, this week, homestays,
it's make or break.

It is, it is.

I like Manly.
Yeah?

Yeah, I've been here numerous times.
I've always liked it, hey?

You do?
Yeah.

Have you seen the bedroom?

What it needs to make it work this
week is fun, light-heartedness.

Oh! (LAUGHS)

We're going into each other's
environment,

so yeah, I want to see
if the bickering in the apartment

is the same here. No. (LAUGHS)

This is a great bed.

Your shoes are not allowed
on my bed.

This is why I don't let you
on the bed...

I stopped right there.
..because it's a nice white duvet.

I stopped right there.

Um, the worst-case scenario
is that we're in Jacqui's apartment

and we're just chilling and we find
something new to argue about.

(LAUGHS) You know?
Or even something old.

You know what, something old
is worse.

Something old is worse.

Did you tell me
that you liked cleaning?

I've always liked cleaning.

You never clean the apartment.
I do!

The kitchen?
Don't you dare.

I (BLEEP) cleaned the house
so many times.

Did you?
Yes!

I've used the vacuum cleaner
so many times.

I don't think you've picked it up
once.

No, I have used it
a couple of times.

I don't believe you.

But anyway, that was teasing you.

(LAUGHS) You just...

You don't get sarcasm sometimes,
do you?

Well, I'm a fan of it.

I'm already feeling quite annoyed
by him.

Ryan, like, in his tone,
he doesn't connect with me,

he's not coming to my level,

he's not picking up on the cues.

My beard?
It's not very manly...

(LAUGHS) See, I can laugh at that.
..and tonight...

I'm going to shave it off.

Oh, right.
I'm going to shave it off.

If you do, then just be prepared
for an immediate divorce.

What's wrong with clean-shaven?

There's nothing wrong with it,

absolutely nothing wrong
with clean-shaven,

but you threatening to shave
a man's beard...

OK, why?
..is dangerous ground,

It's very dangerous ground.
OK, why?

Why don't you want
to give it a shot,

particularly if your wife
will find you more attractive?

What's wrong with clean-shaven?

There's nothing wrong with it
for certain guys

but I love having a bit
of stubble at the very least.

Ryan's beard is kind of annoying me

because I have experienced
an unwillingness to compromise

on every single thing that's ever
popped up in our relationship

and I'm really frustrated
about the way

that Ryan is so attached
to his identity as a man.

Why?

You know how you would never go
brunette? It's not what I want.

Why?

See, now you're being a child.

At that very, very beginning
of the experiment,

Jacqui asked me to shave my beard

and I said,

"You know what, I'll trim it
for you, I'll reach a compromise,

"but I do enjoy having it."

This is my preference

and you're entitled
to every preference you want

about your appearance and I haven't
tried to change it a single time,

but you continually...

This isn't a conversation
about preferences.

You continually harass - yes, it is!

This is a conversation about...
Yes, it is.

..why you wouldn't consider
being clean-shaven.

Jacqui is the most difficult person

I have ever tried to date
in my life.

The most difficult.

But it's something as simple...
But I can't have a conversation...

..as a beard...
..with you about anything

'cause your brain is so small.

My brain is small?
Yeah.

Oh, my lord.
I can't conversate with you.

You're so condescending
and pretentious and judgemental.

I can't have a conversation
with you, Ryan.

Like, you drive - like, literally.

Not only does she pick fights,

she badgers you when you don't agree
with her,

like, "Why, why, why, why?"

Doesn't respect the reasons
that you give.

It's really antagonistic.

If you're just going to sit there
and go, "Why, why, why, why, why?"

that annoys the shit out of me.

"Oh, your small brain."

Let me tell you what small brain

is asking someone to change
their physical appearance

for the 50th time

and not respecting that perhaps
they don't want to.

It's a beard, Jacqui!

Just enough, enough.

(UPLIFTING MUSIC)

I didn't come to your home
to argue with you.

For me, that's worst-case scenario.

I didn't bring you here to listen
to your bullshit either.

I didn't come here to be badgered
about my beard

and be called a small brain either,
so you're bullshit.

I'm not bullshit.

I just wanted to give you
an opportunity

to have some diverse thinking.

I don't want your opportunities,
alright?

All your opportunities are
condescending, coachable moments.

It's so sad that I was given someone
who's not open to anything.

Please.

Like, not even a budge, you know,

like, I can't even nudge him
into anything.

He's so stubborn
and stuck in his ways

on absolutely everything.

Jacqui, you seem to think
you're constantly a victim here.

I'm not.
You've got this victim mentality.

I don't have a victim mentality.
It shits me up the wall, honestly.

You do!

I don't.

When have I ever called myself
a victim?

The way... The way you act.
Ever? Ever?

I never call myself a victim.
So, do not say that to me.

The way you're acting right now,

like, "I didn't come here -
I didn't bring you here

"for your bullshit, you've got
a small brain."

Like, all that kind of stuff,

like, what is, what are you trying
to do?

What are you trying to do
with remarks like that?

Yeah, this week, as I said,
it's make or break, it is,

and you know, I've come to her home

and the first thing we did
was confirm my worst fear

about having a stupid, pathetic
argument about beards.

If we're talking about small brains
and intellectual discussions

and teachable moments
and blah, blah, blah, blah,

then this is the break week
not the make week.

So, I wanted a tour of your place.

I gave you a tour.
Alright?

I wanted a tour and I wanted
to just embrace

this whole part of the experiment.

Instead we're talking about
my (BLEEP) beard and my brain.

It (BLEEP) pisses me off.

For me right now, it's looking
like it's (BLEEP) game over.

(OMINOUS BELL TOLLS)

(UPLIFTING MUSIC)

NARRATOR: With homestays week
now officially under way,

the first of our couples
are settling in

to their new surroundings,

and their new sleeping arrangements.

Good morning! (LAUGHS)
Oh! Good morning.

Oh! (LAUGHS)

How did you sleep?

Honestly? Do you want me
to be honest?

What?
I've had the best sleep I've had

in the last two months.

Yeah, waking up at Carina's
family home today

was actually really nice.

Hello, good morning.
Hey!

Morning.

Yeah, I reckon little Jesus
was looking over me

and I feel really relaxed
because of it, so... (LAUGHS)

Shall we get ready and go?
Yeah. Let's get ready.

Let's do that.
Yeah.

NARRATOR: But Carina and Paul
aren't the only couple

in separate beds this morning.

After agreeing to a last-minute
homestays compromise,

Jamie is waking up at her place
in Melbourne

with Dave relegated
to his own apartment

on the other side of the city.

Jamie didn't want to stay here,
so...

Um...

Yeah, it's...

Yeah. It's a pretty...

..pretty sad moment.

Come here.

It's been a rough week,
so coming into this,

I was hoping that we could
sort of reconnect

and sort of get back into sharing
a bed together.

You know, it's shattering
a bit, like...

Yeah.

Staying at Dave's apartment,
mentally, I just couldn't cope.

I've had my heart broken

and he's the one that's done
this to me.

It's one of those things, it's hard

because, like, I was upset
last night.

Coming home, it wasn't, like,
exciting.

Like, you think it's going to be
really exciting.

Kind of come in and it's all really
like alone.

You may now kiss each other.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

I wish like I could just go back
to the start for like a minute.

Yes!

Like, it is was, like, we just had
the best time.

Like, we really did.

(LAUGHS)

It's like shit right now.

Nothing feels right anymore.

NARRATOR: Coming up...

Are you falling in love with Jamie?

I'm not falling in love at
the moment, no. Love's not there.

NARRATOR: Jamie's sister, Georgia,
intervenes.

How can you see a future
with someone

you don't have a love connection
with?

NARRATOR: But has Dave got what
it takes to get things back on track?

I mean, I don't know,
like, I just want to...

Like... Um...

I see the glimpses of the romantic
things there.

That's (BLEEP) grim.

Oh, am I wearing this?

Yeah, of course.
Oh, great. Perfect.

You can be sous chef.

(LAUGHTER)

NARRATOR: In Perth,
at Carina's family home...

That is so fitting!

I've got the apron.
Welcome to the family.

(LAUGHS)
And I've got to fatten you up.

..one of Paul's biggest fans
is joining the family for lunch.

Yes.

In the past, my Auntie Maria

has definitely given the tick
of approval for Paul.

So, I'm feeling confident
that this is going to be success.

Is he as good-looking as you two?

(LAUGHTER)

NARRATOR: From the very beginning
of the experiment...

Hello!

..Carina's Auntie Maria has taken
a keen interest

in her niece's new husband.

Obviously, you sleep together?

(LAUGHTER)

You know, he's French.
I want to know how good he is.

You look very happy, Carina.

Do I?
Yes, you do.

They're glowing.

Living together is a breeze.

Is it?
Honestly, living together is just...

So, Paul, you're telling me
she's you're amore?

(LAUGHS)
She's mi amore.

(LAUGHS)
She's amore. That's right.

It's still early days

but I'm developing some really
strong feelings for her,

no, but it's true.

We got to know each other
like so well, so much,

we know so much about each other.
Yeah. So easily.

Actually, I've only seen you
three times

and I'm already in love with you.

(LAUGHTER)

Yes, absolutely I can see Paul
in the family.

Bon appetit, everybody.

Stop, stop, we need to have a grace.

Oh, yes. Sorry.
Oh, gosh!

But we're a very close-knit family.

We usually say grace
before a family meal.

Right into going to church

and I don't know if Paul
is comfortable with that.

Dear lord, we thank you
for this wonderful meal,

which we are about to eat.

We also thank you for bringing
Paul into our family

and we bless Carina and Paul,

and dear lord, please shower them
with graces and your blessings

on this new journey
that they are embarking on.

I'm quite open to asking Paul
what his thoughts are on religion

and how his beliefs will be in time.

I'm hoping he will be willing
to go down that path as well.

We thank everyone here
for coming today

and please bless our families
and amen.

Thank you. Thank you for coming.

Yeah, it's kind of funny. You know,
like, obviously,

Carina's mum just started doing
the prayer.

(LAUGHS) It's not something
I'm used to.

Everyone's looking down
and I'm the only one looking around.

I'm like, I don't know what to say.

I don't know what to do, but OK.

(LAUGHS)

(SIZZLING)

So, Paul, you don't have a religion
that you belong to?

No, so, like, so, I am, like,
personally not religious...

..like my parents are.

But on my dad's side, like,
obviously, like, some of them are,

catholic, I guess.

Excellent.

We are very religious

and that is an important part in life

because it brings you together
as well as a family, as a unity.

God is very important.

And Carina knows this.

So, you know, if that's something
you would anticipate down the line,

that's great.

Yeah, absolutely.

Because I think that plays a big part
on Carina's mind as well.

I'm very open-minded, you know,

and that's something, like,
I've always tried new things,

I've always wanted to try
new things,

I'm not someone
who's just closed off.

Of course, yeah, absolutely I would
be open to religion, of course.

It's not something
that I'm familiar with.

But look, it's a compromise
that I have to make

in order to be a bit more accepted
by Carina's family,

100%, no problem.

We're very happy to have
you as part of our family, Paul.

Oh, thank you.

Yeah, Mum, she said
some hard-hitting questions

but he handled them well.

And just remember,
communication, perseverance,

and forgiveness. You need to forgive.

He definitely gave me
the reassurance,

he was very understanding.

Honestly, I have to keep counting
my blessings.

You know, we've both had our little
hiccups during the experiment

but right now, we're in
a really good place.

I could not be happier.

The experts have done a great job
in putting you two together.

Yes, they have. My ideal type,
I promise you guys,

I'm literally just describing
Carina to a tee.

(LAUGHTER)

NARRATOR: On the other side
of Perth...

Hi! How are you, darling?

Adrian and Awhina are arriving
at mum, Vanessa's, for lunch...

Come through. Come through.

..where Adrian is meeting twin, Cleo,
for the first time

since their blow-up at family
and friends week.

The last time we saw each other,

there was obviously quite a lot
of drama.

I've been crying all morning.

I know you have 'cause I can see it
in your eyes.

I'm very surprised
that they're still together.

If I was dating a man and his best
friend was coming at me

and my husband wasn't in my corner,

I would've squashed it, I would've
ended it, I would've walked away.

(TENSE SOUNDTRACK)

So, how have you been getting along,
the pair of you?

'Cause I haven't seen you since,
like, together since the wedding.

We actually have had a good couple
of weeks.

We've had a good few weeks.

I do think, like...

We do have a lot of fun.

Well, the best thing is just to be,

you know, friends in a relationship,
isn't it?

I think for us, too, we're still
getting to know each other

and like with such strong
personalities,

'cause I'm a strong personality,
we all know that.

Adrian's a very strong personality
as well.

We were just...

We were...
Butting heads.

Yeah, we were butting heads
constantly.

Yeah.

Also, Adrian and I are both
stubborn.

Yeah. Well, that's being
the oldest twin, you see?

Yeah. Bossy?
(LAUGHS)

Stubborn? I'm not stubborn.
Are you bossy?

You're very stubborn.
Yeah?

In fact, any time we have got
into a disagreement,

there really hasn't ever been
a resolution.

'Cause we're both, like, so stubborn
that we eventually just like...

You are stubborn.

Like, I don't know much
about your guys' relationship.

And I wish that you guys were here
so I could see more.

But just so far, I'm just filled
with negative emotions.

I just feel like...

..this is a fake relationship.

Why?

It doesn't feel real to me.

It doesn't feel like
this is something

that's going to turn into something
after this ends.

Again, it's really hard for me
because I've only heard negatives.

But see, the thing is though,

you just said you've heard
all the negatives

but you haven't heard any positives
that I've done.

Adrian, are you willing to move
to Perth?

Is she willing to move to Sydney?

(TENSE SOUNDTRACK)

My nephew's life is here.
And my life's in Sydney.

Are youse willing to do
long distance

for the rest of your lives?

(TENSE SOUNDTRACK)

Don't know how it's going to work.

That's right, that's right.

I definitely think Adrian
has a way with words.

Well, these girls are used to moving.

(LAUGHS)

I think he's charmed my mum

but I can tell he's still not
showing up for her enough.

I can see that they are happier

but I don't think my sister
has been telling him enough

about what he's done wrong.

So, I'm going to help her
have a voice today.

Mum, why don't you and Awhina go
inside and get the cheesecake ready

so me and Adrian can have a chat?

It's going to be me and her
and that's fine,

but I'm here for a good lunch.

I'm not here to sit there
and get yelled at.

I don't accept that behaviour

and a wouldn't tolerate it again.

It goes the way it went last time,

then that could potentially
be a deal-breaker

or the ending of the relationship
with Awhina.

(TENSE SOUNDTRACK)

Mum, why don't you and Awhina
go inside

and get the cheesecake ready,
so me and Adrian can have a chat?

How are you?

I'm good. How are you?

Happy to see me?
Yeah, I'm good. How do you feel?

50-50.
50-50?

Yeah.
I thought you'd be cheering

to see me again after last time.

Yeah, definitely not.

Obviously, from last time,
it was ugly, let's be real.

Personally, I didn't agree
with you yelling at me

and calling my friends names.

Yeah.
Yeah, that was wrong.

I mean, I understand
why you're upset.

I get that.
Personally, I didn't agree

with the comments
they made about myself,

and how aggressive they were coming
at my sister

and that can only stem from
what they've obviously heard.

And I could see that my sister
had been crying.

The reality, your sister
wasn't crying.

And your sister hadn't cried up
until that point for the last week.

She told me she had been crying.

Yeah, but also you've got
to remember, too,

just because someone
looks visibly upset,

it doesn't mean that you have
the right.

Like, everyone can cry,
everyone can be upset

but it doesn't mean, like,
you're upset for certain reasons.

I do feel like you've dismissed
her feelings on multiple occasions.

You just said she was sleeping.
She was crying that morning.

She sent me messages that morning.
She wasn't. Well, it wasn't with me.

So, she was crying.

Secondly, I can tell when my sister
has been crying.

Like, it's very apparent to me
when she's been crying.

I don't know you, Adrian.
That's what I'm saying.

But you saying
that she wasn't crying,

you're disregarding the fact
that she was.

My sister was upset.
It was as clear as day.

His family did come at her
pretty heavily

but he's only seeing his side
of the story.

I just wanted to tell her the truth,

like, "Hey, I don't accept
your actions."

And I still don't, but whatever.

I'm protective of my twin sister

and I will come that way
every single time

when it comes to my family.

I mean, for me, the way I see it,

my sisters were just asking
questions.

I felt how I behaved was valid.

I didn't appreciate how Adrian

was just kind of trying to twist
the whole scenario.

Yeah, it was just...

Overall, I didn't like that whole
interaction.

Me and Fee look at life
as a book, we both read.

I'm looking at you as a chapter
in her life.

I just don't see you as the ending.

(TENSE SOUNDTRACK)

I don't have a very good opinion of
Adrian or his family or his friends.

And I don't think he's my sister's
person.

NARRATOR: In Manly, after taking
some time to cool off,

Ryan has suggested he and Jacqui
take some time out from arguing...

Skinny-dipping?

(LAUGHS)
No way!

..and finally, start exploring
the Northern Beaches lifestyle

he's heard so much about.

This week is cactus
unless we can find common ground

and find the fun,

so we're going to the flower shop.

Jacqui's love of flowers,

I'm not even going to try
and understand it.

It's just one of those things

where obviously, it lifts her mood
and, you know, I need a mood lifter

and I can't get her vodka,
then I'll get some flowers,

you know? (LAUGHS)

After being away, it's the one thing
I noticed was missing

with that big plant board.
There's no colour.

No, you didn't notice
what's missing.

I'm taking you to get flowers.
We're in my homestays. OK?

That's just what I noticed.

Yeah, he thinks he's taking me
to get flowers

but it's the other way round.

So, this is the local flower shop
that I love.

You know, like, I said,
"We're going to get flowers",

and then he said,
"We're going to get flowers!"

Like, he decided that
instead of just agreeing with me.

He decided to make it his idea.

Do you have a colour in mind or...

I like the hydrangeas,
I like the orange.

Do you want something more brighter?

Yeah, something with a bit of pop.
These ones are quite cool as well.

So, these are roses.

Oh, they're roses?
Yeah.

OK, we definitely need
to get one of those.

I think the best-case scenario

is that Ryan stops trying to make
this about the Ryan show

and just appreciates me.

Like, I want him to care
about what I think

and I want him to buy me flowers.

Oh, careful. They're delicate.

Yeah.

I don't think he will though.

Literally, if he offers to buy
me flowers, I'm shocked.

So, including the vase,
that's $113 altogether.

(HAUNTING MUSIC)

OK.

Put that on card.

Here we go.
Yeah, OK.

You don't need to pay for it.
It's OK.

Hmm.
Why?

Yeah. I want to get you a present.

I haven't got you new flowers
for the apartment

'cause we're not there.
OK.

So, I'll get you these.
Thank you.

(MACHINE BEEPS)

Today's been a bit fried,
today's been a little bit cooked

because like the bickering
over silly shit,

there's like the real issues,

but like we've just got throw
our pride out the window

and realise that we still care
about each other.

More than happy

to get you this.
Thank you, thank you.

You're welcome.

Thank you.

It's just, yeah, it's difficult
to relate sometimes.

A lot of the time. (LAUGHS)

Thank you.

Hey.

NARRATOR: Coming up...

Hey, you've got to look me
in the eyes.

Seven years of bad sex
or no sex, hey?

..Jamie and Dave's homestays
comes to a head.

I see the glimpses
of the romantic things there.

Yeah, that's, that's...
That's (BLEEP) grim.

Look, it's confusing, it is.

It's (BLEEP).
Confusing?

I think it's really (BLEEP) simple.

You've got great things,
great respect for her,

you've got a great love for her,
not romantic.

NARRATOR: In Melbourne, having,
so far, spent homestays apart,

Jamie has agreed to meet Dave
at her local Greek restaurant.

Oh, yum.
Oh, amazing.

NARRATOR: But given the crisis
in their relationship,

she's also invited her sister,
Georgia,

to help make sense of the events
of the past few days.

I'm excited to see Georgia.

I bet you are.

I'm a bit nervous though.

We haven't seen anyone really
since we've had a rough patch.

Yeah.

There's a massive disconnect.

Like, we haven't bounced back
from last week at all.

I 100% still question
Dave's feelings.

It's like he's saying he wants
to work on it

but I think he's just trying
to say everything he can

to, like, smooth it over.

I need Georgia to figure out
if Dave is being genuine.

I think she'll be able to tell.

Like, she's someone who can always
see what's best for me

and, you know, she is always going
to protect me

when it comes to cases
of the heart.

NARRATOR: Already up to speed
on Dave's erratic feelings,

Georgia is coming armed
with some difficult questions.

Last I saw Jamie and Dave,
everything was going really well,

I felt like it was
very 'Brady Bunch' vibe.

So, overall, like, you guys
are happy?

Yeah, no, we are, we are.

We've been so honest and had
the hard conversations

that sort of make these experiments
so much easier.

But I think it's blaringly obvious
Dave wasn't fully honest.

How are you going?
Good.

If he was fully honest,
they would both be on the same page,

understanding where they're going.

There wouldn't be one person
falling in love

the other person watching
them fall in love.

What's going on, guys?

I don't really understand
their relationship right now.

I don't understand
the back-and-forth.

I just want to feel some honesty
with Dave.

So, I would love today,
to actually walk out

understanding what they're doing

and if he actually sees a future
outside of this experiment.

Cheers.
Cheers.

How are you going with a coffee?

Hey, you've got to look me
in the eyes.

Seven years of bad sex
or no sex, hey?

So, what's going on, guys?

Wow, lots since the last time
we've seen you.

I'm sure there has been.
Fill me in.

Yeah, I think...

Yeah, we sort of had such a good run
for a while there

and it then it sort of just got
pretty intense

with the whole experiment
and just the feelings

and, you know, just figuring out
where I'm at as well.

OK. So, are you falling in love
with Jamie?

Like... Um...

I'm not falling in love
at the moment.

No, love's not there.

(PENSIVE MUSIC)

But, you know, I really care
about your sister.

And I really, you know, I look
forward

to opening up and compromising
our lives together after this.

I feel like there's stuff
to build at.

That doesn't make sense to me.

How can you see a future
with someone

you don't have a love connection
with?

Well, that's where I'm confused.

But I want to, but I want to get
there and I want to...

Like... I'm not the best at doing
that,

so I want to work on that.

For me, personally, romantic
feelings are instant.

Not feelings of love,
but romantic feelings

of knowing that you want
to be around them

and whatnot, it's instant.

You know if they're a friend
or they're more.

You know like instantly.

You don't have romantic feelings?
You don't have romantic feeling?

But I want to build on that.

I see the glimpses of the romantic
things there. I do.

That's (BLEEP) grim.

It's very clear he doesn't have
those feelings right now

but he's optimistic they will grow.

Yeah.

But like that concerns me

because we're so far
into the experiment.

Like, I want to lift that game
and I feel like...

Yeah, but how are you going
to develop feelings for me?

It's...

How do you think you're going
to get there?

I feel like, like, it's...

I just want to move forward
and just show you

that I can do this.

I don't know. I've just obviously
got like concerns.

Like, I don't know what to do
with that

'cause we've spent almost
three months together,

living with each other,
doing challenges, like dating,

like saying all these, like, things
and planning a future,

and you don't have romantic
feelings.

So, I'm like, where do I -
and I don't know how you think

they're going to progress.

You've only got a couple
of weeks left.

He's trying to do the right things.

I respect that he is trying
to make an effort

but you can't try and create
feelings.

I now understand why Jamie's
more confused

and I understand why she's a bit
more up and down with everything.

I think Dave's definitely hoping
for the best

but he's missing the point.

I don't think he really knows
how to face the facts

that his feelings aren't there.

It's confusing, it is.

I don't think is confusing. I think
it's really (BLEEP) simple.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

You've got great things,
great respect for her,

you've got a great love for her,
not romantic.

And I think if you don't know by now
if you could fall in love with her,

I don't think you ever know.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

It's confusing, it is.

I don't think it's confusing.

I actually think
it's really (BLEEP) simple.

You've got great things,
great respect for her,

you've got a great love for her,
not romantic.

And I think if you don't know by now
if you could fall in love with her,

I don't think you ever know.

They obviously do have
a great connection

but it's just not romantic.

I think in order for this
relationship to turn around

and go back to a positive place,

Dave has to be very raw
with his emotions.

I think used got to just
slam it out,

say what he's got to say.

He's got to rip the Band-Aid off.

I mean, I don't know.
Like, I just want to...

Like, um...

It's easy to say,
"It's not going to work,

"let's go our separate ways",

but I don't want to just give up
either.

She's an amazing person.

I've never met anyone like her.

She brings out the absolute best
in me, like no one has before

and that makes me feel something
special towards your sister.

Like, obviously, I have to work on
expressing romantic feelings better.

That's the issue
that was brought up.

'Cause I feel like I've been
a really good partner throughout,

apart from those certain bits.

No, you've been a really good
partner to me. 100%.

No one is taking that away.

We're talking about the things
that take it from...

We're talking about emotion.

We're not talking about being
a good partner.

..like, a friendship
to a relationship.

I want to...
Do you see more of a friendship,

like a really good best-friend
friendship?

You don't have to do
all the romantic stuff.

'Cause let's be honest, that's the
only thing you're struggling with.

This ain't a relationship.
This is a friendship.

It's a really good one.

It's a solid, really connected one,

but I don't think you want to get
her home and take her clothes off.

I don't think you want
to jump her bones.

I think your traumas are coming
to the surface completely.

Because he's literally shown up,
like, 20%

and you're like love.

I don't think I can handle watching
you in another relationship

where you're struggling like that.
I can't watch that again.

What, has that happened
before or what?

Is that why you're saying that?

It's her putting more effort
into relationships.

And she's always just someone
that can convince herself

she is in a good situation
when she's not.

It's kind of concerning

that I've, like, put back
past trauma into this.

I want things to work so bad
that, like, you know,

I'll do all the heavy lifting
and it is a pattern.

When my rose-coloured glasses
are off

and I take a step back,
I'm like, "What have I done?"

Like, I've fallen for someone

who doesn't even show up
in, like, you know,

the romantic sense.

Like, am I a sucker for punishment?
I dunno, I don't get it.

'Cause this man doesn't even have

baseline romantic feelings
for me yet.

NARRATOR: Tomorrow night...

Welcome!
Thank you!

I'm home!

..homestays continue...

..and some couples continue
to deepen their connection...

There is a key to my apartment.

Oh, that's so cute! Thank you!

..as Jeff unlocks his future
with Rhi.

How are you?

I'm finally meeting you.
I know!

NARRATOR: Dave introduces Jamie

to the most important person
in his life.

I was wrapped to finally meet Jamie
and she's wonderful.

He's very happy, you can tell.

I care so much for Beth, so...

I care about my dog.

NARRATOR: But it's not all
smooth sailing

as Teejay comes face-to-face
with Beth's family.

If it all ended abruptly tomorrow,

is my daughter going to get
heartbroken?

Um...

NARRATOR: And...
Alright, welcome.

..Ryan's house...

Ryan's rules.

NARRATOR: Jacqui's eye-opening
experience...

Your answer is not valid.
Asking about me that you're not -

you're talking over me.

Well, you've done that to me
last time, hon.

Stop being rude.
How does it feel?

..sees emotions
reach breaking point.

Your behaviour, it's not OK!
That's not true.

I'm going to tell you
exactly how I feel.

I think he's been absolutely
gypped of this experiment

by being put with you.
