Original subtitles

NARRATOR: Previously... Hello!

..Intimacy Week saw Alessandra empower the wives with

a brand-new task.

I want you all to create for your partner,

your ultimate fantasy night.

Some couples became closer than ever.

JAMIE: I'm already feeling a lot more connected.

RHI: I could see myself falling for Jeff.

While others...

Can you do it nicely? I am!

..struggled.

I don't think Billy thought that was sexy.

I thought he thought it was funny.

Am I not doing a good job?

Not really.

How hard is to just be like,

"Hey, I made a mistake, you're gorgeous."?

Like...

For Morena and Tony...

TONY: There's other sides to romance.

She was happy, I was happy.

Laughing, that's what it's about.

..it was a case of one step forward...

I made the mistake.

You told me not to talk. ..two steps back.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC) He can (BLEEP) off.

And when it was the husbands' turn to open up to Alessandra...

And then suddenly, like, the crazy eyes came out.

(LAUGHS)

What?

Ryan's unfiltered comments...

I've got to say, like, she is awesome.

(GASPS)

..sent shock waves through the experiment.

CARINA: I'm just gobsmacked.

What is wrong with some people?

I have no doubt that has to be brought up.

Tonight...

(GLASS DINGS)

MAN: Dinner is served.

..emotions run high.

I'm not done.

I'm not done with you, little boy.

..as Morena reaches breaking point.

Does your girl go home every weekend?

Does anyone here go home every weekend.

No, no, listen. Listen.

You're delusional.

She came in swinging.

While Intimacy Week has worked its magic for most of our couples...

There is a real connection here.

ALESSANDRA: Yeah. There is good, deep communication.

RHI: The more that this experiment goes on,

the more I realise that Jeff is an amazing person.

That's nice. (BOTH LAUGH)

That's lovely.

..the question on everyone's lips...

WOMAN: I'm so confused.

Have you told her about that comment?

Does she know?

I don't know.

JOHN: Everyone at the table is fired up and wants answers.

NARRATOR: Will Ryan... Um...

..own up to those comments?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

WOMAN: To be honest,

you never know what's going to come back to bite you.

(SWEEPING ORCHESTRAL MUSIC)

NARRATOR: It's been three weeks since the couples entered the experiment.

And tonight, they're preparing to attend

the second dinner party.

The way you look, I don't know even know if

I wanna go to the dinner party anymore.

(LAUGHTER)

And, after an eventful Intimacy Week,

Alessandra's tasks have made some of the couples' relationships

even stronger.

You actually look, like, next level.

You look so good. Thank you.

You look good as well.

Look at you...

Thank you. ..in your three piece.

Intimacy Week has had a positive impact on our relationship.

It's allowed me to feel more closer to Paul

in every aspect.

And the good vibes continue down the hallway,

at Jamie and Dave's.

And be careful of those nips.

You've got to tuck me in properly.

No crazy hand gestures, OK?

My relationship with Dave is really good.

I'm just really all icky and shit, it's gross.

I love it.

I'll watch your nips, you get my back.

Always got your back.

Rhi and Jeff, who are taking the slow and steady approach

to their intimacy,

have also been seeing progression after last week's tasks.

RHI: Over the last few weeks,

Jeff and I have just been getting closer and closer.

Intimacy and the romantic side of things,

Jeff and I have been a little bit slower.

But, during Intimacy Week, we shared a kiss.

It was a great kiss, very passionate.

That's obviously brought us closer together.

Everything just feels really right at the moment.

Like, the pace we're moving at,

I can tell we both really like each other a lot.

The more this experiment has gone on,

the more grateful I am that I am with Jeff.

I'm enjoying it.

I want the relationship to go further.

We're in a really good spot at the moment.

While Intimacy Week has solidified many of the couples' bonds,

for Morena and Tony,

it's a different story.

Kind of matching, pink and pink.

Mmm.

The atmosphere is tense between the couple,

after a fiery argument erupted during Intimacy Week.

You told me to stop talking.

So I'm not going to talk.

You then got up and walked off

I won't allow anyone to treat me like that.

You should know how to treat a woman.

I hope you're really happy.

Think about your words that you say to people.

OK. Maybe we need some time off.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC) Give me a breather.

After spending a night in his home in Wollongong,

Tony returned to their apartment,

and has been trying to make peace with his wife Morena.

You look good today, Morena.

Thank you, Tony.

But despite Tony's attempts to

bring the warmth back to their marriage,

the atmosphere remains frosty.

You're so lucky you don't need to do make-up, Tony.

Kind of comb your hair and you're done.

(EDGY MUSIC)

So, this week was very hard for me and I took some time out and,

you know, went home.

I needed some space.

But I am trying.

I've got to bring it back out of her again,

the happiness and smile again.

I want her to feel good, you know?

So, I've got to turn that around a little bit.

What do you think about tonight's centre stage there

on the centre table?

Who do you think's gonna get it?

Yeah, I think it's you and me, Tony.

You reckon? Yep.

(CHUCKLES)

Oh, well.

I feel very undervalued.

So, they're going to probably question that.

Mmm.

You've not wanted to spend time, alone time with me.

Why do you have to just take off?

That's not OK.

(FRAUGHT MUSIC)

Why? What's on your mind?

Where are you? What are you thinking?

Why do you have to just take off?

You can't be hot and cold.

Can't be a switch.

I have a problem with that.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Tony just disappears because he can't cope.

He didn't want to hang out with me

and I don't know why.

What's there not to love about me?

I don't hammer people.

I'm just honest

and I'm extremely considerate of people's feelings.

And there's no awareness there...

Alright. ..with Tony.

He's got a wall this high,

that goes way up there, goes way up there.

What do I do with that?

(FRAUGHT MUSIC)

As Tony and Morena struggle to see eye-to-eye,

Sierah is struggling to move forward in her relationship with Billy.

Billy and I have just got very much a friendly, jokey vibe

at the moment,

so it hasn't progressed further.

But it's just not enough.

Like, I need a bit more physical touch from a romantic partner.

I'm just worried that if we stay too long in the 'friends zone',

that's all it's going to be.

But Sierah's not the only bride feeling

frustrated with the state of her relationship.

I'm not sure.

It's been a bit rocky.

Adrian and I, we do have chemistry

and there's a strong physical connection.

But I do have very real concerns about

whether or not we're compatible outside of this experiment.

I regularly think that Adrian's very selfish in a relationship.

Relationships work both ways.

It needs to be 50/50.

I'm doing things for him and I'm showing him that I care,

but I'm just not getting that same energy in return.

Not sure our lifestyles align.

I know it's premature to be thinking about these things,

but, as a mum, we always look to the future.

As Awhina contemplates her future,

Jamie looks to the heavens for a glimpse into the other couples.

What are you picking up on the cards?

That your husband looks suave or what?

That's exactly what they said.

Like, I'm getting, like, there's a strong male voice.

It's giving me, like...

Like, yeah, like, male kind of coming in strong.

But, like, devil.

The shadow.

Someone's shadow works,

so I think someone's gonna be a bit more exposed.

I've got 'judgement' as well which is like your revelation.

Like judgement day is coming.

So, like, this person can't hide anymore.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

And conviction.

Think it's uncle Ryan.

(CHILLING MUSIC)

Ask him anything and he'll just dig himself a hole.

The words that have come out of Ryan's mouth, at the workshop,

about Jacqui,

were pretty absurd.

And suddenly, like, the crazy eyes came out.

Like... (LAUGHS)

And, like, I was like, OK, this is...

I've got to say, like, she gives, she gives awesome (BLEEP).

I've got to say. Like, that's...

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

I think discussed in a group setting

behind her back,

it's not on.

Think it's disgusting.

That's not how you go about it.

It's a schoolboy sort of mentality

and it's, yeah, it's not great.

I mean there's a lot of questions that I think we should be asking,

just as a group, in a whole.

JEFF: I'm keen to get stuck into Ryan and Jacqui's relationship.

RHI: Yeah, me too.

Yeah. So...

I struggled with a couple of comments Ryan made

when we had our workshop with Alessandra.

And, we don't know if Jacqui knows what he said.

And, yeah, I feel bad for her.

But, yeah, it's gonna come out tonight

so we'll see how he handles the situation.

But Jacqui and Ryan are coming into tonight's

dinner party with a fresh perspective.

After last night,

the pair decided to push the reset button, following

a turbulent Intimacy Week.

RYAN: Yeah,

the last two days have been great, haven't they?

I know. The best thing that could have happened for us.

Yeah, definitely, hey?

I'm really happy walking in with Ryan tonight.

Intimacy Week has had moments where we've both acknowledged

we disagree, but now we're like, you know what,

like, we didn't sign up for an easy task.

We signed up to be here and see this through.

So let's just try and do our best to make

the marriage work.

We've put aside our differences and we're working

really well as a team.

It's going in a positive trajectory.

Like, yeah, we do have a lot of foundations that we're

working on and exploring.

We're in the rebuild stage.

We reset. We're both on the same page.

We're looking for the positives moving forward, and we're

really happy with each other.

So, we're both really enjoying each other's

company and just feel quite strong and united as a team.

I'm looking forward to the dinner party tonight,

because I feel like it's nice to be by your side.

We've stitched it together,

and tonight it's going to pop off a little bit, but...

You think it's going to pop? Yeah, yeah, I don't know.

Not necessarily with us.

There's no big reveal for us.

We've just had nothing to hide.

Like, for example, if we get questioned tonight, like

together, we'll know what the answer is straight away.

Yeah.

Might even say the same thing at the same time.

BILLY: How are you feeling about dinner party?

Yeah. I'm excited, actually. It'll be fun.

How about you?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm looking forward to it.

It'll be good to catch up with everyone, I think.

I want to speak to, like, Ryan and that,

or air what the comment was at the workshop.

I'm going to go with I don't think Jacqui knows.

We've been very honest, which is what the experiment asked for.

I think we're both growing and maturing as a result.

Yeah.

And, that's the advantage of being just as a team.

Open and honest. Yeah. Yeah.

Well, they say honesty is the only policy.

BILLY: So, I don't know if she will like that

Ryan shared that with all the boys.

I'd like to get in there and, you know, make sure that Jacqui

does know about the situation.

Did you know that your that your fella's saying that you've

got crazy eyes but you give (BLEEP).

I don't think you need to be disrespectful to women.

And I think Jacqui needs to know about it.

I'm sure we'll navigate it later.

The dinner party is the best place to get to the bottom

of things, and I think tonight we're going to get

to the bottom of a few things.

That's the thing, like, we've been super honest.

We're trying so hard.

We're working on us.

I think Jacqui and I have really grown this week and we've

pressed the reset button.

We're an open book and I can say that honestly.

Like, we thought Intimacy Week was going to cook our goose,

but instead it made us stronger.

(CAMERA CLICKS)

So, if any questions come at us, we're fully prepared.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

I'm not worried at all right now.

(EDGY MUSIC)

ALESSANDRA: Dinner party number two. JOHN: Mmm.

MEL: Yes.

Intimacy Week has been completed

and we will see how all of these couples are doing

after all those exercises, all of that disclosure.

Ultimate fantasy night, workshops.

A lot went on this week.

And it's exciting, isn't it, because you can see

a change in body language as a result of what you do

with them during the week.

It's one thing when they speak to me, when they see

me at the workshop, but then things happen afterwards.

They have to process back home with their partner,

so, you never know.

(EXPECTANT MUSIC)

OK, here we go.

Oh. Guys, you shouldn't have.

Oh. Hey.

Red hot. Dave and Jamie walking in hand-in-hand.

Thanks for coming.

Cocktail party for two.

JOHN: Well, these two were pretty solid at the Commitment

Ceremony, weren't they?

Absolutely. When we last saw them.

And they seem to remain pretty solid.

Oh, no, you're gonna ask to pop the bottle.

Can you pop it whilst I wait over here, away from the...

Oh, yeah, you scaredy cat. Make it quick 'cause I'm thirsty.

Oh, just don't... Just be careful with it.

Don't let it shoot off in the air or something.

It'll take my eye out. (CHUCKLES)

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

(SOFT POP)

OK. Done? It's all safe now.

I don't know, 'cause what if it kills me or something?

It could shoot up and could hit me in the eye.

Oh. Thank you.

Intimacy Week has definitely brought us closer together.

Dave and I have been very, like, in a fairytale scenario.

Babe, it's gorgeous out there.

We are both people that value loyalty and partnership.

You're gorgeous in here. (CHUCKLES)

Like he has my back, I have his.

That was cheesy, but I liked it.

And we are the same height laying down.

(LAUGHS)

Like, it's been Intimacy Week,

I kind of want to know, like, if any intimacy has happened.

Well, there was a lack of it, that's for sure.

Well, that's why, like I said, if we all were getting laid.

Not for us. Not for us, no.

Why do you think I have a smile on my fatch?

ALESSANDRA: They have a very nice balance between all of

her energy and just his softness and kindness.

It sounds dangerous saying fatch.

It sounds, but it's just your face. It's your face.

ALESSANDRA: They are very connected and how comfortable they

are in their sexuality.

I think that's a part of their relationship that is really

also bringing them together.

You have such a smiley fatch.

I do, a little smile on my fatch.

(LAUGHTER)

(SQUEALING)

Oh, Carina and Paul. Oh.

Thanks, guys. Can you guys stop it?

(LAUGHTER) Can you guys stop it?

MEL: Very loved up. Very relaxed, very connected.

Very happy.

Such a gorgeous couple.

Oh, my god, you look so good.

DAVE: How you been, man?

Yeah, man, we've been good, man. Yeah?

How are you two going, mate?

It's rock solid.

ALESSANDRA: Both sessions of the workshop were really

good for both of them.

Wonderful. They're very positive.

So, you two are in a good place, then?

Yes. It's so nice to hear, honestly.

I think I've been loving spending time with Carina because

it's like, you know, you're like, you just want to, like,

you're celebrating your wins.

You're like, this is so good.

We just want to, like, roll around in the sun

talking about our men.

(LAUGHTER)

ALL: Hey!

Rhi and Jeff.

What's going on? You guys look stunning.

ALESSANDRA: I have such high hopes for these two, you guys.

They're comfortable with each other.

There so many things about them that just gel seamlessly.

Easily. Yes.

They really blend in over there.

Look, if we sat on that couch, you wouldn't see us.

(LAUGHTER)

JOHN: Well, for those two, they're really trying to have

a relationship again after being together a year ago.

MEL: Sure, they've got that prior experience, but they seem to

be bringing a little, a level of caution, I think.

Cheers. Cheers, everyone.

You seemed loved up walking through the door.

No, we're in a good spot.

Every day really,

we're, like, sort of getting better,

strength to strength type things.

We're just trying to, like, take it slow and do everything right.

And hopefully it doesn't fizzle.

There was part of me at the start of the experiment

and I thought, damn it, like I'm matched with someone I've

already been with, but he's done nothing but show me

maturity, respect, and I don't know, everything just feels

really right at the moment.

The pace we're moving at, I feel really happy.

Yeah.

Well, I will ask.

Are you guys having sex?

(RHI AND JEFF LAUGH)

No. No, we're not.

What?

We've already been there and done it.

So it's just, like, a bizarre situation.

Obviously we're building towards that, but there is

a little bit of pressure there.

Like, besides that part of our relationship,

like, we're... We're really good.

..going amazing. Yeah.

ALESSANDRA: They're building, like, emotional connection.

They already know the sex can work.

Yeah. Been there, done that.

And they've had a really good time at it.

It's not the area for them. Yeah, I like that.

JAMIE: But, like, I'm telling you, once you get a bit

freaky in the sheets,

I think that will get you over the hump, literally.

BOTH: Yeah.

Well, maybe after a few drinks tonight.

(LAUGHTER)

Hello! (CHEERING)

Hey.

MEL: Sierah and Billy.

ALESSANDRA: And they walked in at least holding hands for

the first five or six steps.

(OVERLAPPING SPEECH)

Yeah, we'll take it.

Oh, you're popping another bottle, yeah?

I'm an independent woman.

Definitely feel like we have made progress.

We've found a bit more of a deeper connection.

(POP) Got it.

But it's happened more naturally, which I was

worried that it was going to be to be pressurised

because of Intimacy Week.

So, it's coming, but it's just coming slower than maybe usual.

JOHN: Billy and Sierah are really in a very sort of friendly,

awkward zone, but I'm hoping we'll see them back on track.

I'm hoping that's the case. Absolutely.

Hey!

Coming in pink.

ALESSANDRA: Awhina and Adrian. JOHN: Yeah.

MEL: Here we have a couple entering, very much connected.

And then as soon as they've seen the others, they've

gone their separate ways.

What's cooking good looking?

Nah, not much bro. Very good.

Give us an update.

What's going on with Awhina?

Yeah. We're good.

Intimacy Week brought you closer, do you reckon?

Oh, Adrian's pretty much good to go whenever.

It's just I've got to... Initiate it?

Not initiate it. Like, we joke about it.

But if I was laying in bed and we were just laying there

and we were joking, I was like...

And he'd go...

And it's on.

See, that really turns me on. I'm ready to go.

Yeah.

Look, Adrian and I, we've had some frustrating moments, but in

saying that there's chemistry and there's physical connection.

Don't look at each other right now.

Do we align outside the experiment?

I'm not sure.

I'm still unpacking all, but we've chosen to be here.

We knew what we signed up for, so let's embrace it.

Wonder where the conversations are gonna lead today.

Dude, like, last week, I heard Morena honestly screaming

her guts out in the hallway.

I was like, what the hell is going on?

There's obviously a lot going on

between Tony and her.

Oh, Tony and Morena...

Tony and I had a chat quite recently.

He told me a lot about everything that

he has gone through.

Like they are very distant.

Apparently he feels a bit pressured by Morena.

She's quite full-on

and Tony's not used to that, I think.

(EXHALES)

The other day, surely you've seen that too?

Yeah, I know.

Morena looked miserable.

How long do we have to the ride, please?

I think Tony and Morena will probably have a bit more

of a spicier night tonight.

Morena came in really open. Mmm.

But now she's shutting up. But then she also is fiery.

I really want to help them.

Like, I want to try and mediate as best as I can.

Stop. Stop. Stop. Bit more.

Yeah, no, stop.

Because that's the door. OK.

Hey!

Ahh, Morena and Tony.

Yeah. Look at everybody. You look amazing.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Looking straight at the group, not touching.

Not even walking side by side. No.

No.

Hello. Hi. How are you?

Good, good.

MEL: Very separate.

Well, at the grooms' workshop,

Tony spoke about having a breakthrough and about

feeling connected to her.

MORENA: I feel like a red.

ALESSANDRA: But I have not caught up with them since.

So I have no idea what happened after that.

So, just... Just half.

I can't wait to hear about your guys' Intimacy Week

and what you've been up to.

MORENA: It was suitable for where we're at.

You come better from. the painting?

It's gonna be worth a lot of money one day.

It will be, mate. It will be.

Do you think, like, Intimacy Week has brought you closer or not?

Do you feel like you're going backwards

or forwards right now?

I think we're on...

Right now I think we're kind of just...

We do have our ups and downs.

Step by step.

I want to get to that comfortable place with Morena.

It's kind of like a, it's been a bit of a challenge.

You know, the arguing and fighting.

But I'm a positive person.

We need to try and work on communication with Morena.

But for me to sit down and start talking romance and shit?

Yeah, I'm out.

MORENA: Tony doesn't like deep and meaningful conversations.

He just wants to have fun and to be friends with everyone.

So, it's really difficult.

He just doesn't want to grow up.

(SNORES)

All I asked for in this experiment is

give me an alpha man.

I got Tony.

NARRATOR: Still to come...

Has he told her about that comment?

Does she know?

I don't know.

The group want answers.

Jacqui said that you guys aren't intimate.

And then you said to the boys you are.

Is that true or false?

In what way?

(BLEEP) me!

It's not OK at the end of the day to

talk shit about your wife behind their back.

But will Ryan tell Jacqui the truth?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Who are you girls excited to chat to tonight?

Like, you want to get some goss about

what's happening?

I think, well, I think everything's going to

be, like, a bit of a Jacqui and Ryan show at the moment.

Yeah.

Adrian told me he spoke about it quite negatively.

Oh, the sex workshop?

He had many comments at the workshop.

If you went to a room with a bunch of men and called

me crazy-eyed, for example,

but she gives me (BLEEP),

That is not OK.

Like, that's actually something that's not OK.

MEL: And to say something like that to the group of men can be

quite inflammatory, can't it?

Yes.

And then that spreads to their partners and...

That is making these women uncomfortable.

You can't be doing that.

You can't you can't be really negative about

your partner and then talk about them sexually

in the same conversation.

I don't know how they overcome that.

I couldn't come back from it.

I couldn't come back from that.

If I was Jacqui, I would honestly feel so

offended, embarrassed, and I would be angry.

Dave came home pissed the (BLEEP) off after the sex workshop.

He was like, "I regret not saying anything and I let it slide."

That is exactly what Jeff said, as well.

That's what Billy said as well.

(TENSE MUSIC)

There definitely recently has been a...

There's been a shift.

..turn in, turn in energy, yeah.

The Phoenix is reborn.

How did you feel when he sort of mentioned, like,

that crazy-eyed comment?

That was a bit...

Jake said that as an insult.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, 100%. Yeah?

Of course she would, yeah.

Have a fit. Especially if it comes from him.

Everyone's probably going to want to unpack everyone's

relationship, to be honest.

What are we doing? We're all turned up, baby.

And then saying comments about Jacqui.

We didn't even know that they were doing that.

But at a workshop with the boys,

that's like childish shit.

Yeah.

For him to say that about Jacqui, something I wouldn't

say, like you have a lot of respect for women.

That's something I really pride myself on.

So, I think that's why I sort of stewed on it.

I hope if we bring it up, she goes, oh, yeah, we've

talked about it already.

No chance. No chance.

I think it's disrespectful. Yeah.

Yeah, well, he doesn't say that they're in a good place, so it's

very strange for them to say.

Are there any outstanding discussions?

I don't think so, hey.

He said it like it was nothing and then just moved on.

JOHN: What I'm very keen to see is how not just the women are going to

confront him, but how the guys... Yeah.

Because, we've seen in the past, brotherhood is strong.

But I'm hoping that this sort of behaviour, these sort of

comments from Ryan, will actually call him out

and hold him to account tonight.

Yeah.

Your palms are sweaty. Are you nervous?

Just hot. (LAUGHS)

Do you think, when Jacqui comes in, we gotta pull her

aside and maybe, like, suss. what's going on?

JACQUI: Already missed it? RYAN: Yep.

Get out.

I just hope Intimacy Week has maybe

grown them closer together.

My lady. (CHUCKLES)

Hello. Hello.

Hey!

JOHN: Jacqui and Ryan. MEL: Here they are.

Kids.

(SHAKY VOICE) Ahh... Hi!

And Ryan has no idea they're talking about this.

No. So he's clueless at the moment.

Oh, look at this! 24 carat magic.

How are you, bro? The golden couple.

Oh, yeah.

So, I was explaining to all the girls, like,

just, like, some of the comments.

And I said that, like, obviously, like, you're

quite fired up about it.

I think everyone's just confused.

Like, that seems to be the general consensus.

And that's, like, a good opportunity to get them

both in the room and ask the question.

Overall, overall good? We're so good.

We're so happy.

Like, we've bonded up so much.

(OVERLAPPING SPEECH)

I actually want to hear that. OK. Good, good.

That's it. Yeah.

Reset is the theme, bro.

They say they had a reset,

I'm not sure I buy it so much.

PAUL: Pressed the reset button? Yeah.

Yeah, we found it.

It was under the wreckage. Yeah.

It does not match, their words

and what they say about each other behind their backs.

And there's just a lot of up and downs there.

Jacqui! Come sit. Come sit with the girls.

I'll sit here. Thank you.

I say come.

We need We need a filling in on everything that's been going on

since last time we saw you.

Sure. I'm great. Yeah.

So, Ryan and I, we had a reset from, like, last week.

(EDGY MUSIC)

Bro, reset, re-focus, rebuild.

Yeah. Just communicating. so much better, hey.

And, we just decided to stop bickering,

stop arguing,

forget about the past.

Let me tell you something I've learnt.

If you get some of your dirty laundry out and you're real

and honest about it, then you've got all the answers already.

You know? I feel as if it was, like, almost healthy for us to

do that, to be unhealthy first and then get the petty shit

out of the way.

And then now we're just rebuilding.

And focus on the good stuff we've got going for

each other and have fun.

We both are very physically affectionate, so we really like

cuddling each other and kissing.

Are you knocking boots?

Knocking boots?

No, no, we're not having sex.

Are you doing stuff, though?

Not really.

JAMIE: Wait, what?

I'm really confused.

I just want to know if Jacqui and Ryan are doing

the deed or something.

Because one says this, one says that.

And, to be honest, that's what I want to know.

Is there any mouth to penises?

No! No!

Like, we're literally, like, no.

JOHN: The Ryan Jacqui story doesn't add up.

And of course, the girls know this throwaway line

that Ryan has made.

It'll be up to Ryan to own up and clarify, because he

was the one who offered the information.

Nobody was probing him about that.

Yeah. It's just at the stage, we're building

an emotional connection.

Yeah.

I know it's hard to believe.

I know it's hard to believe, but it's the truth.

Yeah.

I'm so confused because there's definitely

something going on here.

Someone's lying. Someone's not telling the truth.

Do you want another drink? I feel like I might, yeah.

Are you gonna come? I'll come with you. Yeah.

(CLEARS THROAT)

I just... That is so (BLEEP) awkward.

Just pretend that you want a drink or something.

Oh, look at the glasses.

That's really (BLEEP) awkward, because he's gone and announced

to everyone that they are, in fact, doing the deed.

And now she just said that they aren't.

The truth will come out because if she's saying no,

he's saying, yeah.

But, like, do they have an agreement not to say anything?

Is that why she's not saying anything?

I'm super trusting.

But it's, like, half a story here.

It ain't aligning.

Jacqui expressed how they weren't intimate.

Ryan said they are intimate, but again in a very lads',

derogatory kind of way, which is not cool.

And that's a whole issue in itself.

Like, what's the truth, because nothing makes sense.

Is she not wanting to say it in front of everyone?

Like, is she a bit uncomfortable, if that's the case?

Or, like, did he just make that up just to literally look cool?

Yeah, exactly. We'll talk about that later, right?

One of them's lying.

Regardless what it is, own it.

I don't like lying.

Be honest, because you never know what's going

to come back to bite you.

Once again, Jacqui and Ryan have confused the (BLEEP) out of me.

(RINGING)

Dinner is served.

(CHEERING)

I'm hungry.

Let's go see where we're all sitting.

Hope we're next to each other. I hope so.

I know, same. I think a lot's brewing here.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Jacqui and I are very prepared for tonight.

I think we're in a healthy place to just keep focusing on

that team energy and supporting each other and putting into

place what we've learnt this week.

Thank you.

Dinner party number two is going to be scintillating.

Feeling good.

Oh, nice.

OK. Have a seat.

JAMIE: Oh, we're on that side, babe.

MEL: There's a little bit of nervous energy around the table.

Of course, there's a lot that's unspoken at the moment.

TONY: Big cheers to everybody. Yeah, cheers, guys.

Cheers.

Second dinner party. Cheers.

Let's go. Let's go.

Cheers. You haven't got wine, Ryan.

(EVERYONE SAYING 'CHEERS') (GLASSES CLINKING)

Mmm.

JOHN: Jacqui and Ryan.

The group is suspicious of them.

Ryan said something inappropriate and disrespectful.

Everyone at the table is fired up and want answers.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

Ryan. Ryan, tell us about the jacket.

The jacket. Talk us through it, mate.

Well, I've never worn gold before.

He was going to supporting his wife tonight.

But she had the gold picked out, like, two weeks ago.

I had to do something, hey. (LAUGHTER)

Yeah, right. OK.

Ryan and Jacqui, they came in quite confident into

the dinner party tonight.

But then there were a few things mentioned.

One of the things that he says is Jacqui gives (BLEEP).

I personally am not someone who would speak really bluntly

about things that my partner and I have done, especially

considering apparently they aren't intimate.

So, where the (BLEEP) does that come from?

How's your week been?

How was your Intimacy Week?

Good, good. Yeah?

Like, a bit apprehensive about it, hey,

but it's turned good.

Yeah? It's turned good, yeah.

What did you guys get up to?

Uh, so, we, uh, had the...

We had the honey bird lingerie task thing.

Ooh, yeah?

We had to go there and pick out, like, a few different

looks and whatnot.

And, yeah, we settled on a red one.

Nice.

I mean, Jacqui would look hot in red.

Yeah. Oh, we established that, hey.

We established that.

WOMAN: By the looks of things, they came in very united.

(FRAUGHT MUSIC)

Has he told her about that comment?

Does she know?

Have they kind of come together?

I don't know.

And they left us this, like, little, Polaroid

camera to take sexy snaps.

I had my Bonds on as well.

That's it.

And I was like, Jacqui, do that and get your hair down and shit.

We literally had a lot of fun.

And like, now we've got this cute little thing next to my bed

that's, like, a private shrine.

It's so cute.

You're not feeling it.

No, I'm not, I'm not feeling it.

He looks nervous to me. He does.

Is he sweating? He is sweating.

What we saw with Jacqui and Ryan on the couch at

the Commitment Ceremony, they were very inconsistent.

For the group,

they're seeing behaviours from them again, which doesn't

really make sense to them.

And that's why the Ryan Jacqui story doesn't add up.

We're so good because we don't bottle stuff either.

We just get it out. Yeah, we just get it out.

We don't let it simmer in the room.

It's always addressed within, like, a few hours.

Hey, like, yeah, like, I believe that you can't have 100% peace

in any sort of marriage, you know,.

Like, the little disagreements are bound to happen.

And I'm a realist, you know.

I didn't come here expecting the perfect, magical,

you know, connection.

I knew there was going to be some turbulence.

And there has been a little.

I feel it's healthy to solve problems early.

She's a lawyer, I'm a project manager,

so it's, like, hard to give ground sometimes.

Those are, like, huge issues. That was it. And they solved.

What was one of the issues?

Was it Ryan saying that you had crazy eyes?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Yeah, I do have crazy eyes. I agree.

I've brought my crazy eyes tonight.

No, but Ryan said it at the workshop.

Yeah, I know. I do have crazy eyes.

I do. (LAUGHS)

Are you OK with him saying that?

Yeah, I'm totally fine.

Gee, Jacqui's really minimising this, isn't she?

Yeah. Letting him off the hook.

Some people find that a compliment to have crazy eyes.

Do you think that's a compliment?

I would love to have crazy eyes.

Why?

It's fun.

The bottom line is, talking like that about a woman in front of

the lads is disrespectful.

It's disrespectful. And it's wrong.

And right now, the group has tried to call out

Jacqui and Ryan.

They're not buying it. They're pushing it back.

They're going to keep trying.

RYAN: You know, like, we can see the humour in things.

Hey, Billy, do you think I have crazy eyes?

No.

I think it's quite disrespectful to call your wife and say that

she's got crazy eyes, to all the boys.

Oh, that's OK, because Ryan had already heard me say that.

But, Billy, that's the difference, mate, is

it first came from Jake and were able to turn it

into a joke, you know?

Yeah, I just didn't take it as a joke then, I guess.

That was a so valuable thing to do.

Like, honestly.

And it's helped us a lot too.

They really seized on the crazy eyes comment.

You shouldn't talk disrespectful of women and this and that.

And I'm like, I didn't say it first.

Literally, there was another groom that said it first.

Jacqui thought it was funny and then I just followed that

sense of humour through.

I don't give a (BLEEP). (LAUGHS)

Jacqui's playing the role of you're all mad,

I'm not mad.

JOHN: Jacqui and Ryan are going to have each other's backs here.

I actually agree I have crazy eyes.

(BLEEP) me!

Jacqui, I think she was just trying to have his

back, but Ryan's comments at the workshop made me feel

really uncomfortable, and it was a remark used to offend her.

Poor girl, sitting at home and he's slagging her off behind her back.

Yeah, I won't let it slide, for sure.

They're not crazy, Jacqui. They're not crazy eyes.

I don't care.

WOMAN: It sounds like another dig.

RYAN: See what I mean?

Like, that's a very dramatic...

I think we're getting... Oh, god.

I think this is a really pathetic conversation.

You know, like, we didn't sign up to have each other's back.

We signed up to work on a marriage and lay

out our issues.

Like, yeah, that is a marriage.

That is a marriage.

We're happy. We're in a good place.

Yeah. Reset. Re-focus. Rebuild.

That's what we're doing. Yeah.

JAMIE: I think it's good that you guys are forming

a partnership, I really do.

Just, the only question I had was, Jacqui said that

you guys aren't intimate.

And then you said to the boys you are.

Is that true or false? In what way?

(HARSH MUSIC)

You said she gives (BLEEP), on the couch in front of the boys.

Ooh, yes, you did.

Like a bomb. Yeah.

(FRAUGHT MUSIC)

JAMIE: The only question I had was, Jacqui said that you

guys aren't intimate.

And then you said to the boys you are.

Is that true or false? In what way?

You said she gives (BLEEP), on the couch in front of the boys.

Oh, yes you did.

You actually denied the fact that you had

any intimacy at all.

Because it's a positive thing.

DAVE: It's disgusting.

The way that he said it, it wasn't (BLEEP) a positive way.

It was a joke, and he was making fun of it.

(EDGY MUSIC)

I just feel like, I don't speak about women like that

and I don't think anyone should.

You know, made me pretty upset

that he didn't recognise that that was a shitty thing to do.

It's not OK at the end of the day to talk shit about

your wife behind their back.

And I took offence to it.

RYAN: I really don't appreciate you guys drilling down on it, because

we have an understanding that you guys don't.

As if you don't understand where we're coming from.

Dave, mate, you're speaking from ignorance, brother.

Ignorance?

It's absolute grandstanding.

And they wanted to divide us.

It didn't work. Sorry, lads.

No-one here speaks about their partner like that.

Do you think he should have said it?

Yes or no?

You're not making any sense.

You said it, and it was uncomfortable for me

and everyone in that room.

You've been at me several times and we've barely

even spoken between this.

So, where's this vendetta come from, mate?

Tell me.

Obviously you're dumb if you don't understand.

You don't speak about women like that.

MEL: Poor Jacqui.

JOHN: They've been arguing all about her.

I think she's taking it all in.

It's very clear that this is uncomfortable for her.

I think she's really embarrassed.

How come you didn't address it with her in the in the last week?

How come you haven't told her that you said it?

You shouldn't be talking badly about me behind my back.

Mmm, definitely. Like, I do agree with that.

It was a risky...

It was a risky thing to say.

The humour was my fault.

I should not have said that in that context.

Yeah.

I'm feeling pretty humiliated and embarrassed.

I really don't think my sex life is relevant to this experiment.

This is not a topic for discussion,

kind of the entire table.

Yeah.

No more intimacy conversations. Done.

He's hopeless in this regard.

Like, how can you not consider the words that

come out of his mouth?

I'm telling you, I think you two are actually compatible

because I think you guys speak the same language.

JACQUI: Like, we had an agreement to shoot down everyone in the room.

And you saw that tonight.

The way I defended my husband when it's really not called for.

I literally came into this experiment saying I need

intelligence and loyalty.

But I think Ryan has not given me the respect I gave him.

JAMIE: You guys just have to work on the comments.

I honestly think you guys should be careful with the words you

say, because surely something like that would trigger me.

I've been triggered.

I was triggered when he told me I was not the most

beautiful woman in the world.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

I think the ranking task is, like, my core value.

Like, I value loyalty above all else.

I'll put you third.

(ECHO) Third. Third.

Tell me I'm beautiful and find me attractive.

I'm being taught to lower my standards is

really how I'm feeling.

I was like this (BLEEP) triggering.

Like, I deserve to be the most beautiful woman in the world.

I'm triggered by that.

And I deserve better.

End of story.

I will never settle for less.

Ever. Ever. Ever.

MAN: Like, well, what the hell is going on?

Instead of just, you know, really talking about

the comments that Ryan made, Jacqui just keeps bringing back

the past and the fact that he didn't put her first, you know,

during the whole ranking task.

But the thing is, how much is enough?

Because, like, when you feel like you're

constantly having to...

No, no, no, no. But what I'm saying is...

Enough is the best. No, no, no, no.

But did you put her fourth or third in the challenge?

Coming back to the line-up again?

Did you put her fourth or third in the challenge?

No. Yeah. No, no, no, no, I had her first.

So, that triggered me. I'm sorry.

So, it was a little bit frustrating for me to see

that our little commitment towards rebuilding

and letting past things go.

Yeah, like, it wasn't exactly honoured from her part.

No, it's not healthy.

Like, I put him first.

Tonight I defended him in front of everyone.

I put loyalty before honesty.

Do you have a sister? I'm just curious.

Do you have siblings or...

I have a younger brother and a younger sister.

Alright. Yeah.

And I'm incredibly close to my parents, they're my best friends.

And they're my idols in terms of relationship.

They're celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary this year.

So, like, they're the gold standard, absolutely.

And what you saying to me was, like,

that comes after trust

and it comes after a more emotional development.

Do you think your sister is beautiful?

My sister? Of course.

She's a beautiful, beautiful woman.

Absolutely. Yep.

If you were to rank her in the room

of a women here, how would you rank her?

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

I don't think that's the right context.

It is. It's a question.

In this challenge we were all given, how would you rate her?

The stuff you guys say is very, like, it's...

We're not compatible.

Like, he is nothing I asked for.

Like, I asked for someone intelligent,

loyal, like, you know.

Like, I can't change that.

Don't patronise. Saying that is not a nice comment to say.

I've given up.

You guys have it at him because I've had this argument five

times with you and I'm done.

(FRAUGHT MUSIC)

JOHN: Their internal chaos as a couple, it always seems

to come to the surface.

ALESSANDRA: They said they were resetting and moving forward.

That clearly is not what we saw tonight.

Jacqui now has broken ranks with Ryan,

and it's all over the photo ranking

and particularly her feeling like she is not adored by him.

Eventually it's going to hit you.

Like, if she feels like she's not the best looking person

in the room by her partner, that affects you.

JOHN: We've had men, unfortunately, in previous experiments, really

drop the ball on this test of emotional intelligence.

She is still very much hung up on what he's said

about her appearance.

She's not been able to let that go.

(TENSE MUSIC)

Jacqui.

JACQUI: What do you want?

Like, this is a challenge.

We just saw you...

What, did your partner put you first in the challenge?

Yeah, he did. Yeah, exactly. Done.

Like, end of story.

Like, I'm never going to settle for this.

Never ever, ever, ever.

That's the conversation.

OK, I'm gonna go to the bathroom.

That was a great conversation.

Coming up...

That stuff sticks with me as a mum.

Old wounds resurface.

She needs to see him as a potential father figure.

Yeah. And he's not behaving like one.

That is so disrespectful.

And... Tony's got the table.

Tony's got the microphone.

No, because I'm not done.

I'm not done with you, little boy.

Morena's emotions boil over.

Does your girl go home every weekend?

Does anyone here go home every weekend?

He knows how he's treated me, and I don't deserve it.

(TENSE MUSIC)

When do compliments stop

and when does it become like a hollow exercise, you know.

So, in that regard, I didn't know how to succeed at it.

And then I got told I failed.

JEFF: Jacqui, just quickly.

So, last night, you guys sounded like you made a call

to restart your relationship, not bring up the past.

And then what we've witnessed is you guys are

bringing up the past again.

Where do you go from here?

Yeah, we drop it and we just let it go.

But...

Yeah, no, we leave it where it is and we move on.

Yeah.

What?

We just have to figure it out later.

Yeah.

Ryan and Jacqui, there's a fair bit going on there.

Actually, I'm not sure if they got any sort of

way forward, to be honest.

They've got a lot of work to do if they're going to continue

on in this experiment.

Hopefully they do put the effort in.

But yeah, there's a fair bit going on with those two.

MAN: I just wanted to give it to you. What do you mean?

MAN: Paul and Carina?

I just want to ask, how is the relationship going?

It can't... Hey, it can't be. It can't be that perfect.

Hold on.

I don't want to hear all the positives.

I want to hear some negatives.

PAUL: No, look, I'll be, I'll be, I'll be, I'll be real.

Things between Carina and I,

obviously, as you guys can see, it's going great.

And there is genuinely nothing major, nothing

negative about her.

We can we can see it's very, very good.

But can you please give us something that you might

have struggled with?

Please, please, please tell us you've struggled with one thing.

No, honestly, like...

Please just give us one thing.

One thing.

He leaves his jocks when he has a shower in the (BLEEP)

in the, in the... (MEN TAUNTING)

I would never do that.

Literally, as bad as it gets.

MEL: It's quite clear that there is a real connection here.

Yes. There is good, deep communication.

There is empathy. There is compassion.

There is understanding between them.

It looks like there is a really strong

foundation being built here.

Sorry there's nothing negative, guys.

I'm sorry. Yeah.

Who's next?

I think it's Jeff and Rhi.

Let's get the hard questions going.

I'm starting to sweat.

So, Ultimate Fantasy Night date went really well.

We had a nice dinner and some nice wine, but I just

wanted to finish it off because on our wedding day, our wedding

dance, I couldn't dance properly because my dress was too long

and I kept tripping over it.

So I put the wedding song on and I said, "Can we please

"redo our wedding dance?"

JOHN: I like that. They're being romantic.

They're getting to know one another.

They're connected emotionally, deeper bonding going on there.

It made me realise, though, that we really can't dance.

I thought I thought it was the dress, but I think it's...

I think it's just us, actually.

I feel like I have Jeff's support all the time,

and I feel like the more that this experiment goes on,

the more I realise that Jeff is an amazing person.

That's nice.

That's lovely. Oh, thanks.

Well, we're going well. We're going well.

ALESSANDRA: I see a lot of progress in them as a couple this week.

I think they're having the correct conversations

and they're being very open and very truthful and very

respectful of the other's process and rhythm and timing.

JOHN: Going in the right direction.

Yeah, yeah.

WOMAN: Ryan?

Ryan!

Ryan?

I'm not done with him.

Ryan?

Excuse me.

(MORENA SLAPS THE TABLE)

Excuse me!

Ryan?

Excuse me.

I want... I'm next in line, I want Ryan.

Ryan! I can hear my name. Hello?

I'm not done with him.

Ryan!

Yes, Morena.

I'm going to tell you from a woman,

from a 57-year-old woman.

You can say, you know, intimacy was fantastic,

but if you were in a room with all these boys and you speak

about Jacqui and she gives (BLEEP).

Are you joking?

JAMIE: I don't know what's going on here, but Morena,

she's on her spicy.

She's coming in hot.

I haven't finished.

MAN: I think Morena's going back to Ryan.

Oh, god. Um. Um.

I thought that was it.

Like, the conversation was over and done with.

Mm-hm.

Do not speak about women like that, at all.

It is out of line.

It is not good.

PAUL: Morena having a go at Ryan, a little bit out of nowhere.

There's a lot of conflict in Morena and Tony.

You know, I want to find out more.

PAUL: Morena?

I've got a question for you.

Because you're giving, like, love advice

and relationship advice.

But talk to us about your relationship.

I want to know what's going on with you,

because I just heard you screaming in the hallway.

I just want to know what was going on, that's all.

I'm sorry?

I screamed in the...

Wow.

I was there. Come on. Don't lie.

You're hilarious.

I heard you and I saw you.

Screaming where?

Screaming where?

You're delusional.

I think Morena felt like she was attacked and she

came in swinging.

I know better than to come at Morena.

You don't come for mama Morena.

What are you talking about.

Paul, good on you,

but you're going to end up with, like, a, you know, a dead fish

outside your door or something tomorrow.

When was I screaming in the corridor?

He's accusing me of being in the hallway screaming, which

is actually disrespectful.

Paul had no right.

He doesn't know me.

I didn't deserve to be spoken to like that.

How dare he.

(FRAUGHT MUSIC)

Paul?

Paul, look at me in the eyes.

Yeah, I'm looking at you in your eyes.

Look at me right in the eyes.

Come a little bit closer.

Yeah, that's fine. I'm close enough.

No, no, you're actually not.

Come a bit closer.

No, 'cause I'm not done.

I'm not done with you, little boy.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

MORENA: Paul, look at me in the eyes.

Yeah, I'm looking at you in your eyes.

Look at me right in the eyes.

Come a little bit closer.

Yeah, that's fine. I'm close enough.

No, no, you're actually not.

Come a bit closer.

'Cause I'm not done.

I'm not done with you, little boy.

JOHN: It doesn't help that when Morena is speaking, she ups

the volume and she points her finger at everyone.

Yes.

Mr.. Mr Wonderful.

I want an apology.

And people wind up as a result of that.

PAUL: Since the beginning,

you two have literally been so disconnected.

You're doing everything separate.

Does your girl go home every weekend?

Do you go home every weekend?

Does anyone here go home every weekend?

Well, maybe ask yourself the right question.

Why is Tony going home every weekend?

I mean, I don't know.

No.

Tony's got the table.

Tony's got the microphone.

It's...

At times I think she's...

very, very loud.

OK. No.

But, do you know what I mean? That's...

No, no.

I'm trying, scared to talk to you because you've got

to talk over me, and I'm scared to offend you.

He knows how he's treated me, and I don't deserve it.

I've been open to this experiment.

I've been trying.

It's not always going to be perfect.

For once, let me tell you how it feels.

Would I saw, what happened.

You know?

Every morning when I bring you a coffee.

I bought your kids tickets to fly here.

Yes, you did. OK?

Why did you do that?

Let him speak. Just let him talk.

This is my way of showing you affection and trying to

make things nice for you.

It's my way.

I'm trying. You did.

But you keep on talking over me.

I just said that I'm scared to tell you and talk to you.

And now I'm the shit guy. Listen.

Hang on.

You've done that because you feel so bad that you

just abandoned me.

I buy about your coffee.

I buy your kids flight tickets here.

I take you to dinner.

I do everything I can in little bits and pieces.

Buy you flowers.

You're not happy.

So, I'm trying.

Morena's communication style, it is aggressive,

it is loud,

it is pointy.

And she will not back down.

And she just keeps yelling. Yeah.

Which pushes everyone further away.

You're out of line.

How dare you!

This is where my problem is.

When it comes to Morena always talking over me.

And I just shut down and it's like I'm talking to myself.

Morena was frustrated, but I don't agree with

her behaviour and how aggressive she was trying to

get her point across.

She can't see that he is wanting to try and work on it.

The fact that he bought your own kids' flights,

that is a praise.

But he doesn't value me as a human being.

I didn't deserve a table of young ones to come at

me with advice.

You gave me the best advice ever.

And you probably understand.

So, we come from ethnic backgrounds and we're stubborn.

We sweep things under the table.

OK?

And she said to me, you know what she said to me?

She said, "Tony, to make things better,

"1% of the day.

"If you can improve on that."

And I thought about.

It made sense to me, mate.

Of course I had Tony's back.

I love him, he's the godfather.

He's delivered the goods.

So...

He's likeable.

But, even though he's likeable, they're not dating him.

Let's cheers to poor Tony.

No, don't cheers to poor me.

No, let's go cheers to Tony.

Can we all do a cheers to Tony?

Cheers.

Let's go to the other end of the table.

How was Intimacy Week for you guys?

Like I said, I mean, Intimacy Week for us wasn't

a challenge, as everyone could probably see, but we did have

a few challenges this week.

Look, I'll be very honest.

Like within this experiment, we're very compatible.

We've got amazing chemistry.

I just... I'm unsure whether or not we will

fit into each other's lifestyles outside the experiment.

Like, I'm a mum, and I'm a realist, and I'm always

looking to the future because guess what?

I was in a relationship for a very long time, 15 years,

and I don't want to do that again where I'm wasting my time.

MEL: Isn't it great that Awhina now is finding her

mum voice here tonight?

She's been really out and proud about

this is who I am... Well, yes.

This is the challenge in our relationship.

I have to date as a mum first.

And whether or not you will fit into my lifestyle with my son.

Of course. And I've never disagreed with that, though.

Though it's hard to open my heart up to someone when

I think that we might not work out in the future.

But being closed off isn't going to open it up, right,?

Adrian? This is what she says to me.

So, I'm sitting there saying, oh, we're not compatible.

But in my head I'm thinking we are compatible.

And now you're saying we're not compatible.

But I also feel that that's like a front for her.

She's trying to convince herself.

It's like a coping mechanism for when it does come to an end.

But I address very real concerns.

Everyone here has concerns.

You've said certain things to me, too, Adrian, that I've held

on to, that you've said about in regards to me being a mum.

In regards to what?

It was in the very early days of our honeymoon.

In regards to what? OK.

When we did our honeymoon, experts' questionnaire,

you made a very real comment how you didn't think...

I could love another kid more than mine.

Yeah.

MEL: She needs to see him as a potential father figure,

and he's not behaving like one.

JOHN: I think the big problem, though, is that on the topic

of will he raise her child and step into that role,

he doesn't answer it.

No. Mmm.

He doesn't say very clearly that he's in.

It just confirms for her,

"I can't let all the walls down and let him in here."

Of course.

How you didn't think... I could love a kid more than mine?

Yeah. That stuff sticks with me.

Yeah, of course it does.

PAUL: Adrian said something really positive, I remember.

I asked him the question.

I said to him,

I said, "Hypothetically, if you guys work out, would you,

"Would you move out of Sydney?

"you know, to go live with with Awhina?"

Yeah.

And then he said to me, he said, "Honestly, if things work

"out between us, I will move out, and then I'll just raise

"her kid like mine, like my own."

You said that to me.

No, I didn't say that.

No, I said... You must have misheard that.

No, I didn't say that.

I didn't say that, what are you talking about?

Don't throw me under the bus.

I'm going to be very real.

I'm showing up for Adrian.

He's not showing up for me.

And if he can't show up for me when we don't have

issues, how is he going to show up for me outside?

Do I not show up for you as a partner?

Yeah, 100%.

All I'm trying to say is I am a mum,

I'm always looking to the future.

And sometimes I say things.

Now it's their turn.

ALESSANDRA: He just cut her off.

Her wants to bounce it to Jeff and Rhi.

Right. OK. Terrible.

(GRIM MUSIC)

AWHINA: All I'm trying to say is, I am a mum.

I'm always looking to the future and sometimes I say things, 'cause...

ADRIAN: Now it's their turn.

They've had enough. Beg your pardon, it's all good.

He just cut her off.

He wants to bounce it to Jeff and Rhi.

Right, OK. Terrible.

ADRIAN: It's all good. Do not close me off like that.

That is so disrespectful.

It seems to be a pattern with he and I when we are

having conversations that Adrian doesn't want to have,

he shuts me down.

You get out of here.

And that hasn't happened once, it happens all the time.

You did. You came at me. It was a true conversation.

See the unity between everyone else and every other couple?

You want to start it now?

(EDGY MUSIC)

(BACKGROUND CHATTER)

MEL: Adrian's just completely shut her down here on

THE most important topic in their relationship.

And she's finally voicing it to the group.

Right.

Yeah, he's being really childish here.

Yeah, I don't even care, mate.

(EDGY MUSIC CONTINUES)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

MEL: Not only did Adrian shut her down,

but then going to the other end of the table

is just showing that he's...

He doesn't have the maturity she's looking for.

JOHN: He really gets very dismissive and he detaches.

Yeah.

If anything, his behaviour has shown that he's not

willing to commit to the relationship,

and will sweep issues under the carpet.

Are you OK?

Adrian shuts me down a lot.

I just need a little bit.

He's clearly just not hearing me.

I think he's so used to receiving, he doesn't

know how to give back.

There's all these things that we're doing for him, but I'm

not getting my needs met.

ADRIAN: I wasn't saying anything back.

I said, they just put the blocks up.

Everyone was talking their issues.

And that's what I said, that's one of our problems.

Yeah, but she says... No, listen, bro.

She says she's getting cooking, yeah, cleaning and cooking.

She's up at 4:30, just like you.

Bro, she doesn't sit still.

AWHINA: I would love to know what his love language is

in terms of giving,

because I'm not, I'm not...

I don't feel like I receive on any of them.

JEFF: Yeah, wow. Besides physical intimacy.

Yes, of course. Yeah. But it's not...

It's definitely not enough.

But, to be fair, Billy and I barely spoke.

I hung out with Adrian most of the day.

But it's true... (INDISTINCT SPEECH)

You were out there

but we were still there together you know?

ADRIAN: Yeah, 100%.

I didn't even see Awhina that day. Was she there?

Yeah, exactly.

As I've been addressing our very real issues,

like, daily, I'm not seeing change or action from him.

And he's not hearing you.

And he's not hearing me. Yeah.

(CHUCKLES)

(INDISTINCT SPEECH) (BLEEP)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(EDGY MUSIC)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

MAN: Yeah, cheers, everybody.

Dinner party number two.

Sunday night...

ALESSANDRA: Sierah,

have you opened up to anybody else in the group?

Uh...

Sierah's shock confession.

Adrian, actually, I had.

(A MAN GASPS)

BILLY: Sorry? What?

(FRAUGHT MUSIC)

Oh, my god!

That's a big F YOU to the face.
