All language subtitles for Married at First Sight (AU) - S12E17 - Episode 17.en

Wow.

ELIOT: She looked breathtaking.

NARRATOR: Previously,

Lauren and Eliot were married
at first sight.

ELIOT: I wanted someone
that was younger than me,

someone that's right into exercise
like me.

But Eliot left his wife
after three days

and exited the experiment.

LAUREN: A grown man
throwing a tantrum

because he didn't get
exactly what he wanted.

The experts decided to give them
both a second chance at love.

ELIOT: Oh, my god.
Veronica, she's beautiful.

LAUREN: I think Clint's way better
than I was expecting.

And the final couple
to enter this year's experiment,

Beth and Teejay
formed an instant connection.

BETH: He's everything
that I have asked the experts for,

so I could not be any happier.

But their special day
was overshadowed

by Jacqui and Ryan's relationship.

She'd written a rap sheet of every
single grudge that had happened

since the wedding day.

Jeff got a text message from Jacqui
asking to catch up without me there.

(SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY, CRIES)
RYAN: No...

Jacqui... Jacqui, stop.
It's not your wedding.

Adrian called it quits.

I'm asking you to come back.

And after his shock return...

Why were you out for dinner
with Sierah Saturday night?

..it was revealed that he and Sierah
went out for a secret dinner

behind their partners' backs.

WOMAN: Why did you guys catch up?

Like, why were you not
with your wife?

I did ask her to come out.
No, you didn't.

And Lauren and Eliot
went head to head.

That didn't happen.

You had about five margaritas,
so you might not remember.

WOMAN: Oh, my god.
MAN: No.

Tonight...

We've been intimate.
Oh!

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
..love is in the air...

I'm, like... I'm just...
I ride or die for people I love.

He's someone
that I do have love for.

PAUL: It's been amazing.
ALESSANDRA: Oh, you guys!

But not for all, as the experts ask
the hard questions.

Going to dinner with Adrian
and breaking Billy's trust,

is that something you regret?

Um...

Will Eliot apologise to Lauren
for his behaviour?

You had a chance to say, "You know
what, I regret that. I'm sorry."

Eliot, what do you say to this?

And then...

Adrian, I've got it
on good authority

that you gave an ultimatum -

either put me in the promo
or I'll leave.

..Adrian is held to account
for his actions.

You threw the toys out of the cot.

You left her.
Everyone reacts different.

But it's Awhina
who leaves the room speechless.

MAN: Oh, my god.

(BRIGHT MUSIC PLAYS)

The countdown is on
to the third commitment ceremony.

It's good vibes.
It's good vibes.

Commitment ceremony day.

I quite like you
with the shaved 'fotch'.

Baby face.

And after last night's
explosive dinner party,

many are eager to see the experts.

I hope tonight's commitment
ceremony is not gonna be as...

(EXHALES) not gonna be as hectic
as last night.

Mmm.

So much to unpack.

I definitely think there's gonna be
a few surprises.

JEFF: Jacqui and Ryan
will both write 'stay'.

RHI: They always do the opposite
to what...

Yep.
..what we think they should do.

And across the hall, it's wedded
bliss for Jacqui and Ryan...

I want to do something fun.
Are you ready?

What?
Alright?

We're gonna do our own little thing.

..as he has decided to take
her list of grievances on board

and make it up to her
for his wedding dance faux pas.

You haven't really taken
any personal accountability.

Like, when you dropped me,
I did hit my head.

I'm gonna dip you. Are you ready?
OK.

Wait, wait.
Left.

You're gonna have to catch me,
though.

(SHRIEKS)
(THUD)

(OTHERS EXCLAIM)

I'm so sorry.

Ready? We'll do a dip.
We'll do a dip. Ready?

OK. Ready?
Mm-hm.

(LAUGHS)
Ready?

Oh, that way?
No, not at the table.

It's too dangerous.
Oh, you're ready?

Are you ready?
Yeah. Ready. (LAUGHS)

That was fun.
That's it. Redemption.

Redemption.
(LAUGHS)

Now you've got 99 times to go.
Actually, 90...

99.
99.

Who's counting?
95. I'm counting.

Morena and Tony are also
in high spirits this morning

after taking the experts' advice
last week to hit the reset button.

You look nice.
Thank you. You look lovely as well.

(LAUGHS)
Mmm.

Really looking forward to tonight,
actually.

Me and Morena are in a good place
at the moment.

We've blossomed this week.

(CONTESTANTS EXCLAIM)
MAN: Jesus! The ethnics!

Look at that!
Smell the roses, baby!

We're back!

And the budding romance
between the two

was obvious at the dinner party.

(LAUGHS)

You know, I've put my 50%
and more in.

We've been having fun
and spending time together.

She's happy, she's a bit more
relaxed, so, yeah, it's been nice.

We're going smoothly
at the moment, I think.

I'm looking forward to seeing
what the experts...

It'll be interesting to hear
what they say this time around

when we speak.

But as most of our couples
look forward to tonight,

it's a different story for Awhina
and Adrian,

who have moved
into separate apartments

after they failed to come
to a resolution last night.

And in his solitude,
Adrian has been reeling

over the way he was received
by the group and his wife.

You heard one side
and you all come at me

and I was trying to speak
and get a word in,

but it didn't matter what I said.

It was always gonna be wrong
according to everyone.

Me and Tony were going out to dinner
as well as Sierah.

On that night, Sierah,
she looked upset.

I was just trying to help.

TONY: All there was
was a friendship.

Why were you not with your wife?
Your wife is your priority.

AWHINA: I was sad too, but.

ADRIAN: I know, Awhina, she's hurt.

But again, this is
a two-way relationship.

I'm getting used to this now.

There's things
that I'm upset about.

Everyone's there on the promo
but me.

And then she saying
"You left. It was wrong."

No, it was right. It was right.

Being excluded made me feel like
I wasn't good enough.

And not once
has she checked in, like,

"Adrian, hope you're feeling
better."

It's been about just her,
how she feels.

I think she owes me an apology,

so, yeah, I'm gonna try
and talk to her, for sure.

Hopefully
she's had a minute to sleep on it,

think about it
and, you know, and say sorry.

Hey.

Didn't know you were
gonna answer the door.

(TENSE MUSIC)
Forgot what our place looks like.

Hmm?

I said I forgot what our place
looks like.

It's my place now.
Yeah.

How are you feeling
after last night?

(SIGHS)

Mm-mm.
Get your hand away from me.

How do you feel after last night?

Um...

Yeah, I mean, it was...
It was obviously a bit intense.

I wasn't happy how that went.

I want to ask a question.

Do you think... Do you think
that in the last two weeks,

the way I've acted had nothing to do
with how you acted?

My god, Adrian.

I have... You honestly...

So you have...
Do you listen to your question?

I'm asking.

You're asking me whether or not

to validate your behaviour
towards me due to my actions?

That is not OK, Adrian.
I'm saying certain times.

Why are you getting defensive?
That is not OK.

It's so frustrating to me

that you are still trying to pin
your actions on me.

You actually left.

Let's be very real here.
Yes.

And I felt hurt and unseen by you...
Oh, also, though...

..like I have done for six weeks...
Also, though...

..throughout this environment.
You're not in the wrong any time.

Adrian...
You're not in the wrong any time.

OK. Now you're trying to
deflect on me again.

(SCOFFS)

He doesn't actually hold himself
accountable for any of his actions.

And I've had enough.

The reality is,
he should just be here for me.

That's what this experiment's about.

But he left because he wasn't
included in a 30-second promo.

Not only that, he went to dinner
with Sierah.

I'm giving you a platform again.
I'm over it.

Deflecting, deflecting, deflecting.

I really didn't know
how I was gonna approach

the commitment ceremony tonight,

but now I've got more clarity.

Deflecting, deflecting, deflecting.

Adrian...
This is all I'm copping, deflecting.

Yeah.

You haven't said one thing
that you're doing wrong

to why you're understanding
how I'm feeling.

You're not taking any accountability
in there.

That's why I'm getting frustrated.

I'm taking accountability
and I'm sorry...

No, you haven't.

Your actions right now show
that you're not accountable at all.

(SIGHS) OK.

(DOOR CLOSES)

Down the hall, Billy is also shaken
from the events of last night.

BILLY: Yeah, mixed emotions
this morning.

I feel hurt and really, really
let down by Sierah.

The couple have been
living separately

since the last commitment ceremony,

where Billy was blindsided

after Sierah revealed she had
opened up to Adrian about her past.

His sense of betrayal only worsened
at the dinner party.

BILLY: Yeah, Adrian and Sierah
caught up for dinner.

And Sierah's failure
to acknowledge him...

I did the wrong thing by Awhina.

I'm really sorry that
I wasn't forthcoming with it.

..unsettled Billy even further.

BILLY: What about me?

I just kind of wanted Sierah
to hold herself accountable

for what actually happened
and just go, "Look, OK, sorry.

"I did go out to dinner
with Adrian."

She did it to Awhina
but she didn't do it to me

and surely I should be
the first person.

It makes me very, very disappointed

because I've dropped everything
to be here.

(GROANS)
(BLEEP).

(SIGHS)

I've tried putting myself the
whole way through this experiment...

I've been open, I've been honest
but I just feel so lost with Sierah.

Like, I...I just feel so confused
by her actions.

She doesn't want to open up to me

and I'm still trying to understand
as to why

because I've put everything
on the table for her.

While Billy remains confused,

Sierah is still coming to terms with
Billy's shocking wife-swap comment.

Billy, what about when you called me
on Thursday...

No, no. ..on Thursday and said you
want to do a wife swap.

(OTHERS EXCLAIM)

MAN: Oh, my god.

I'm open now. I said that.

I was fuming with
what I've heard.

SIERAH: I'm sorry, but I'm not
a commodity that you can trade,

first of all.

Second of all, why would you
want a wife swap

if you were so happy?

If you actually liked me,
you'd want me for yourself.

And now he's clung onto this dinner
with Tony and Adrian.

Tonight also marks
the first commitment ceremony

for the experiment's
three new couples.

TEEJAY: I'm excited to see
how the experts think we're going.

BETH: I know.
I feel a little bit nervous.

You are?
Yeah.

'Cause you just don't know
what they're gonna say.

You can't?

Um...

It is somewhere. I have seen it.

This is really bad, isn't it?
Oh, my god. You've sold it.

You've gone to Cheap As Chips...
I've got it. Found it.

I'm just glad it just means so much
to you.

It does. It's the most precious
thing in the world.

(LAUGHS)

And for Lauren and Clint,

the anticipation for tonight
is at an all-time high,

as Lauren processes her reunion
with ex-husband Eliot.

If last night's dinner
is any indication

of how tonight's gonna go,

I'm scared.

Yeah. It wasn't nice,
what happened to you.

That's not OK.
Mmm.

That's not how you treat someone.

Last night was the first time exes
Lauren and Eliot came face to face

after he abandoned her
and their marriage on the honeymoon.

(PEOPLE EXCLAIM)

WOMAN: Oh, my god!

That's Eliot!

And their reunion
was not a happy one.

You wanted someone who was 25
and said I wasn't into fitness

because I only go to the gym
once a week.

Also that I liked handbags.
What?

No.
Yes, you did.

CLINT: So you deny that?
Yes.

I was perfectly consistent
from the beginning. I said...

Consistently shit.
(MOCKINGLY) Bro, consistently shit.

Yeah, I think him denying everything
that he said was quite funny.

I mean, why would you come
to this experiment

if you weren't willing to
learn anything, you know.

CLINT: Yeah, well,
that's a good question.

It was actually just repulsive.

Like, he thinks he's just
so perfect and wonderful

and doesn't need to take
any accountability.

To learn, you need to have,
like, self-reflection

and I think that's something
that he definitely lacks.

Yeah, it was... It was just
embarrassing, really.

Lauren isn't the only person

disappointed by Eliot's behaviour
last night.

Yeah.

I'm not impressed.

Last night, I saw a side to Eliot
that I've not seen before.

When Eliot exited the experiment,

it highlighted his questionable
relationship habits.

The person I was matched with was
nothing like what I was looking for.

I had to get out of there.

This is a pattern

and it is time to decide
what you want to do with it.

And this feedback from the experts

prompted Eliot to reflect
on his behaviour.

I want to do better this time.

I'm gonna try to not just tick
the boxes.

I'm gonna stick around.

And after getting a second chance
at love,

he was blown away
by his new bride Veronica.

Wow.

Hi.
Hey.

Oh, my god. She's beautiful.
(LAUGHS)

And despite the fact
that one of his non-negotiables

is to have a large family...

I've actually got endometriosis.
Yeah.

So there is, like, a 50% chance
I probably am infertile.

Mmm.

..Eliot stayed true to his word
and remained open-minded.

It's not a concern for me.

I kind of felt for her there,
you know, in that moment.

The lack of accountability

and the way that he was responding
to everybody last night

is probably my biggest red flag
at the moment.

But I really want to believe

that the Eliot that I've seen over
the last five days is really Eliot.

So, in the commitment ceremony
tonight,

I really just need him to be
completely open and honest

about the way that he handled
the situation.

He needs to take accountability
of his behaviour

if he wants this to work.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Hello there again.

JOHN: Greetings, gents. Come on in.

Hi, John. Hi, Mel.

ALESSANDRA: Welcome.

MEL: Hello, hello.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)

Hello, ladies.
Hi. Welcome.

Come on in. Take a seat.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)

Welcome, everybody,
to the third commitment ceremony.

Now, before we kick off,

we would like to welcome our three
new couples into the experiment -

Teejay and Beth,
Lauren and Clint

and Veronica and Eliot.

Now, I'm sure, for all of you,
last night was an eye-opener.

Dinner parties can get explosive.
This was one for the ages.

There are certain things
that have deeply concerned us

and this
we will be shining a light upon.

There's no hiding tonight.

Be completely prepared to lay
everything out on the table,

because for some of you, you're in
deep crisis and you need help.

Our first couple up on the couch...

Eliot and Veronica.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

(LAUGHS)

LAUREN: It's time to face the music.

I look forward to seeing the experts

finally call him out
on his bullshit.

JOHN: Greetings, you two.
Eliot, we meet again.

And there's no running
for the hills this time.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Eliot, we meet again.
How we doing?

We're doing well.
And greetings to you, Veronica.

Hi.
MEL: Welcome.

Here we go.

JOHN: It was a bit of a baptism
of fire, wasn't it,

last night, at the dinner party.

Yes.
Yeah.

To say the least.
To say the least. Definitely.

Tell me about what it was like
for you.

Veronica, why don't you kick it off?

Yeah, it was very confronting.
Mmm.

What was so confronting about it
for you?

Well... Well, we had
a great honeymoon.

We had... We had a lot of fun.

But, yeah, I mean, obviously,
hearing Lauren's side of the story,

what she went through, is not a side
of Eliot that I've ever seen.

And then, I guess, the way that he
was kind of responding to everybody

was disappointing.

Lauren was very clearly upset
and hurt by what had happened

and, like, I just didn't really feel
like Eliot was empathetic

or open to it.

There was a lot of rebuttal,

a lot of, you know, kind of mocking
at one point.

There was, like... He was kind of
putting Lauren down,

at another point, like, shaming her
for having a few drinks,

saying to her
that it wasn't possible

that she could recount events
because she had five margaritas.

Yeah.

Just the general way
that he handled himself

didn't really sit well with me...
Mmm.

..at all.

I mean, there's no doubt that
you copped a lot of heat last night.

But in saying that, you know,

you had a chance to say,
"You know what, I regret that.

"I could do that better. I'm sorry."

And unfortunately
you doubled down on it.

So, Eliot, what do you say to this?

I'll take ownership of that.

I guess my kind of defences went up
a little bit

when the fire turned towards me

and I 100% think that that's wrong.

Like, you know, I should be able to
sit there and, you know...

say I'm sorry

because I 100% have regrets about
how I handled the whole situation.

What specific regrets have you got
for Lauren?

Well, number one,
the manner in which I left.

I think that's quite clearly
a mistake.

When I did that,
it was a bit of a panic decision.

I didn't feel any kind of connection

and then I was trying to clumsily
rationalise it with checkboxes...

and I was wrong.

Lauren,

I didn't fully consider
your feelings in that process

and I made a mistake.

It might not ever be something
that you'll forgive...

but I'm sorry nonetheless.

Like, I mean that sincerely.

LAUREN: Thanks.

(BRIGHT MUSIC PLAYS)

Mmm.

VERONICA: Good job!

Why does that mean so much to you,
Veronica?

Because it's an acknowledgement.
Like, "I'm sorry."

And what's the problem
when someone can't do that?

You'll just never move forward.

Eliot, I'm curious.
Where is that checklist for you now?

In the bin.

(BRIGHT MUSIC PLAYS)

Obviously
people can have preferences

but being so rigid in them
I don't think is productive.

Wow.

So this is a different guy...
MEL: Mmm.

..that I'm speaking to right now.

What has brought about this change?
When did this happen?

Probably the biggest thing is,
you know,

I've got someone by my side
kind of talking sense into me.

Mmm.

So, do you really like Veronica,
Eliot?

Yeah.

Mmm.
Yeah, I think it's pretty obvious.

(LAUGHS)
(OTHERS LAUGH)

You know, one thing that is
very important for you to realise

is that this wasn't
an easy decision...

No.

..you know, bringing you back
into this experiment.

But we felt like you,

among all the people that we've seen
over the years,

could absolutely benefit...
Mmm.

..and we are all very pleased

to see you apologise to Lauren.

I didn't know
whether you had it in you.

But tonight...
MEL: Mmm.

..we like what we see.

Alright, well, we're gonna go
to the decision now.

We'll go with you first, Eliot.

Alright, so... (LAUGHS)
I will be staying.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
Staying. There we go.

Veronica, are you gonna stay
or leave?

It's a tough one.

No, I'm kidding. (LAUGHS)
I'm staying. (LAUGHS)

There we go.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

MEL: Lovely.

You can go back to the group.
VERONICA: Thank you.

Well done.
(APPLAUSE)

Our next couple up on the couch...

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

..Lauren and Clint.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

MEL: Well, hello.
JOHN: Hello, you two.

CLINT: Hello.
Welcome back.

LAUREN: Thank you.
Well, hello.

MEL: And welcome.
Hello.

Lauren, it is so lovely
to see you again.

LAUREN: Thank you. You too.

You're with Clint now.

How has this experience been for
you, Lauren, a second time around?

It's definitely been an upgrade
of an experience from the get-go.

I think Clint has pretty much
all the qualities that I look for.

Like, one of the main things
that I really want

is, like, a masculine energy,

which is just, like,
innately in him.

Like, he's actually curious about
my life and family and work

and he just straight away
is like my teammate

and I feel like
we have each other's back.

And, like, with Eliot's vows,

it's like he talked a lot about
certain things,

like, traits that I asked for,

but his actions were
completely different...

whereas Clint is showing it
in his actions

just in the short time
that I've known him.

You see that alignment.
Yeah.

OK.
Definitely.

Yeah, I think you guys
have done a great job.

Mmm.

I think she ticks a lot of boxes,
for sure.

And no offence to anyone in here,
I look around the room

and I think she's just the most
stunning person in the room, so...

OTHERS: Aw!

No offence.

Sorry, guys. But she's... Yeah.

That's amazing.

And on that note,
let's go to the decision.

And we're gonna start with Clint.
OK.

It's such a tough decision, but...

(LAUGHTER)
..I did get there with that one.

MAN: Go, boy!
And Lauren?

LAUREN: Well, it was an easy
decision for me too.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

JOHN: Go back to the group.
MEL: Well done, you two.

LAUREN: Thank you.
Have a great week.

After you.
Whew.

(LAUGHS)

WOMAN: Good job.

Ooh, sorry.
That's OK.

Whew.

Our next couple up...

Jacqui and Ryan.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

RYAN: Good evening, guys.
MEL: Hello.

(EXHALES)

Here we go.

Alright. Well, Jacqui and Ryan.

Where are we gonna start tonight
with you two?

Where do we start?
So, the week that was...

Beginning with Teejay
and Beth's wedding.

It definitely wasn't
our finest hour.

I just want to apologise
to you guys as well

if there was any kind of...
Yeah, we're sorry.

..disruption to that.
Thanks, guys. Appreciate it.

The morning of the wedding,
Jacqui did pull out her laptop...

and she said she had a rap sheet

of everything
that she was holding onto -

like, little grudges and whatnot.

Mmm.

Like, we went as far back
as the wedding with the blooper

and then we went onto
the shoes on the bed thing

and the air conditioning
and whatnot,

so immediately I did feel
quite persecuted by that.

Mmm.
I felt like I was on trial.

And I didn't feel like it was
a healthy or productive way

to keep moving forward,

particularly after we pressed
the reset button

after the last commitment ceremony.

OK.

So, Jacqui, why was
that important for you

to have written that...
I think...

..and then to show Ryan?

Yeah. I don't know.

I just felt like Ryan's behaviour
was a bit disappointing.

I felt like, as my husband,

I would've hoped that
he would've understood my needs.

But I was trying to be so optimistic

and still, like, give this man
the best chance I could.

So I was trying to find a solution
that worked for both of us.

I actually brought it,
in case I needed it.

MEL: Oh.
WOMAN: What?

(LAUGHTER)
(BLEEP).

(LAUGHS)

NARRATOR: Still to come,
Adrian faces the consequences.

I've got it on good authority
that you gave an ultimatum.

"Either put me in the promo
or I'll leave."

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

I actually brought it
in case I needed it.

(LAUGHTER)
Oh!

(LAUGHS) No, yeah,
there's a lot that, like,

I've really been trying to process.
Do you think...

I prefer we didn't go through that
again.

No, some of it's good, though.

There's a lot of it
you've improved on.

But, like, the main thing for me
was...

So, everyone here knows

that on my wedding day
Ryan dropped me.

Oh, my god. Are we still gonna...
(LAUGHS)

So I was really struggling

because he never really did anything
to make it up to me.

Like, I mentioned it would be really
fun if we dance every night

and then you dip me 100 times
and make it up to me so I know...

I did dip you again after that
just to...

Yeah, I know. I know. No...

We did do some things
to make it better. We did.

You did three dips.
But you didn't do enough.

I felt like...
MEL: Oh...

(LAUGHS) Yeah, I felt like as well,
like...

You've got a quota now. (LAUGHS)

No, no, this is how I felt
and I was upset

because, like, I just wanted more.

More of what?

Because I did ask you...
I just told you, like, again.

I just told you, I would've wanted
you to dance me 100 times

and dip me so I never feel like
you're gonna drop me again

or buy me flowers or, you know...

Yeah.

I fully acknowledge that you had
a need to get your feelings out

and what I should've done was
just listened to the entire thing

and then myself come back to you
with how I was going to improve

because I recognise you were trying
to help me grow as a man...

Mmm.
..and I respect that.

Yeah, and I think he does listen.

Like, it does take a few days after
he's kicked and screamed, but...

(LAUGHS)

..like, he does get there
eventually.

Um...

Well, look, I'm confused.

It may, for many people, seem like
writing down all your grievances

is not something that's very healthy

but in a strange, bizarre way,
it worked for you two.

You figured out, well,
we just have to listen differently

to feel validated.

Did you expect that?

Didn't expect it, but I believe
that's exactly the case, yeah.

Alright.
We're gonna go to the decision now.

And we're gonna go with you first,
Ryan.

OK.

I really am committed
to bringing out the best in us

and it can be chaotic,
it can be catastrophic,

can be whatever adjective
you want to give it

but at the end of the day,
I really want to stay and find out.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
Yay.

Like that.
Oh...

Right, up to you, Jacqui.

What have we got?
Stay or leave?

Yeah, like, I feel like I owe it
to Ryan to also, like,

give him the chance to be the man
I know he could be.

So I said 'stay'.
OK.

(LAUGHS) Yeah.
(APPLAUSE)

You can go back to the group.
Well done, guys.

Thank you so much, guys.
Thank you.

MAN: Well done, guys.
Oh...

Thank you.

Thank you.

Our next couple up on the couch,
Rhi and Jeff.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

MEL: Hello.
Hey, guys.

JEFF: Hey, guys.
Hiya.

Hello.
How is it going?

What have you been dealing with?
Any issues?

What's been going on?
RHI: Yeah.

So, over the past week,
there was a little bit of drama

around another couple...

and it flustered me.

But Jeff always just has my back.

What happened? I don't know.
The heaviness came from what?

So, Jacqui and Ryan

have obviously had some troubles
in their relationship...

and Jacqui reached out to Jeff
to catch up for a coffee

without me there.

I just feel like it's not girl code
to do that, personally.

And considering this experiment
is about, like, marriages,

like, I don't know, I just think
it's a little bit disrespectful.

Jacqui...

Jacqui...

Yeah.

..do you understand why Rhi felt
the way she felt?

(TENSE MUSIC)

Um...

Yeah, so I think, like,
I mean, from my perspective,

like, I was in
a really, really bad place

and I just needed to have,
like, some more people

kind of have my back a little bit
so that when they, you know, like...

they see the behaviour going on in
front of them, they can call it out.

Like, I'm in a position where
I can't handle Ryan on my own

because it's just constant.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

That just makes me sound terrible.

It's true, though, Ryan! It's true!

But you're both here together.
Oh...

You're happy together.

Anyway, so, yes, yes,
I can relate that she felt,

like, excluded, I guess,
or left out.

Yeah.
ALESSANDRA: Mmm.

I didn't mean to make her
feel that way.

Thank you, Jacqui.

And I apologised
and I am sorry again, Rhi.

That's OK.
She did apologise.

You did feel the support from your
partner in the whole entire thing?

Yeah, I did.

Like, I'm not sure
how I would've dealt with that

if I didn't have
a supportive partner like I do.

I feel really heard

and I'm really grateful
that we are in such a great place.

Mm-hm.
And so, we've been intimate...

Oh!
..which is exciting.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
Good news!

It is really exciting, especially
with the history that you guys have,

that you chose at this point
to go there.

Yeah, I am really glad that we did
just take our time this time around.

JEFF: Yeah. And I agree with that.

I think it was important for us,
like Rhi said.

The foundations were really solid
before we did that

and now that it's happened, yeah,
it's a great feeling

and I think we're in a really good
spot at the moment.

I love that.

Let's go to the decision, you guys.
(LAUGHS)

I don't think we're gonna be
too surprised.

(LAUGHS)
But... (LAUGHS)

Stay.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

MEL: Lovely.
Stay.

I love it.
Thank you. (LAUGHS)

What about you, Jeff? Surprise me.
I'm staying.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

(LAUGHTER)

Thank you so much.
Thank you, guys.

MEL: Well done.
Thanks, guys.

JOHN: Well done, guys. Great work.
(APPLAUSE)

MEL: Our next couple
up on the couch...

(TENSE MUSIC)

..Sierah and Billy.

(APPLAUSE)

JOHN: Hello, you two.
MEL: Hello.

BILLY: Hey, guys.
ALESSANDRA: Hi.

MEL: Well, there's clearly a lot
to unpack from last night.

It was an incredibly chaotic
dinner party.

And in amongst the chaos, we saw two
individuals, certainly not a couple,

who were very separate, disconnected
and fractured

and really confiding in other people
rather than each other.

So, we want to understand
what's happened and what led to this.

Why don't we start with you, Sierah?

Um...

I mean, obviously I made a mistake
and wronged people

so I guess...
So, just so we're really clear...

Yeah.

..what do you see
as the mistake you made?

So, the mistake I made
was lying to Awhina, I think,

or not being forthcoming.

Like, went out with Tony and Adrian
for dinner. It was so innocent.

Like, we just went
for a plate of meat.

But then, when I was doing that,

I didn't realise that Awhina and I
were gonna go for a walk.

We hadn't organised it yet.

So when I went for a walk
with Awhina, I didn't mention it

because I knew her and Adrian
weren't in a good place

and I didn't want to upset her.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Obviously, any time Adrian
and my name are mentioned

in a sentence together,
everyone's, "Oh!"

And what made you hold back
from telling Billy about this?

I haven't spoken to Billy at all.

So there's been no communication
at all?

No communication whatsoever.
No, there's been no communication.

But I do feel like
it might have been quite nice for me

to have the same kind of,
I don't know, just conversation.

I felt like I was maybe owed that.

(TENSE MUSIC)

AWHINA: Sierah,
I'm not trying to jump in here,

but I do feel like Billy felt...

We'd only just found out.
Yeah.

And you saw my face.
Yeah.

I was, like... I was hurting.

Yeah.

But this is why I think I probably
feel a bit worse towards Awhina,

because I was actually with her.

So I feel like it was more of a lie
to her face,

if you know what I mean.

I know you're worried about
Awhina here

but I just want you to focus on
going to dinner with Adrian

and breaking Billy's trust.

Is that something you regret?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Um...

MEL: Going to dinner with Adrian
and breaking Billy's trust,

is that something you regret?

Um...

I guess maybe
I could've addressed him.

Yeah. I don't know.

I'm gonna go to you, Billy.

What's your response to everything
Sierah's saying here?

I have to be honest.
I feel, like, frustrated.

Sierah, can I just ask...
Yeah.

..do you feel a deeper connection
with Adrian than you do with Billy?

I just find him easy to talk to...
AWHINA: Yeah.

..for sure.

And Adrian, do you feel
a deeper connection with Sierah

than you do with Awhina?

No, I don't.

Nothing happened
between Adrian and I.

I just don't believe
that Billy likes me.

And then the things I hear,
like, you want a wife swap...

Why would you say that
if you liked me?

You would want me all for yourself.

JOHN: Well, Billy, just on that...

(TENSE MUSIC)

..it really troubled me

when I heard that you had mentioned
the possibility of a wife swap.

Doesn't matter
how do you say that,

that is poor form.

You cannot be treating a woman
like a piece of meat.

And when we heard it,
we were shocked.

That's not the Billy we know.
No.

I think this is as well,
like you say,

the Billy you know,
he's not here right now.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Them comments, it's not acceptable.
I hold my hands up.

It's wrong.

And I'm deeply sorry.
It's fine.

I'm sorry to the other girls in here
as well.

You shouldn't have to hear that.

I am.

I think I just built up frustration

and that was me,
being a huge shadow of myself.

That was not me at all.
That is not the person I am.

I just feel like
I've really retreated, you know.

I've said multiple times that I need
more of an emotional connection.

I've had a physical touch...

I got literally no deep connection
from you.

I got nothing...
You took a step further backwards.

All I've ever wanted
was a deeper connection.

And I've got nothing,
however many weeks we're in now.

I've tried to give you
what you needed

but you don't give me what I need.

And I don't know why,

because I've expressed
every part of my life to you.

My mum doesn't even know
some of the things that I've said.

I've tried, because I've come into
this experiment open and honest

because I haven't been like that
in previous relationships.

I've got nothing from you, Sierah.
Absolutely sweet FA.

MEL: Well, certainly for us
as observers

sitting back and watching
the two of you,

it's a real shame
how things have really shifted

and you've gotten to this point.

And with that said,
we're gonna go to the decision.

But we'll go to you first, Billy.

Yeah, so, can't see us really coming
back from anything, so...

Yeah, I've wrote 'leave'.

Oh. OK. Thank you.

And to you, Sierah.

Yeah.

I just wrote 'leave'.

It's OK.

We're all very sorry
that this is how things have ended up

for the two of you.

Billy, is there anything you'd like
to say to Sierah at this point?

I think, Sierah, obviously you are
a beautiful person inside and out

and in that first couple of weeks
of getting to know you, I seen that.

And it genuinely was nice.

I guess going forward

maybe just don't maybe try and go
too in yourself sometimes

when someone's trying
to speak to you...

'cause I feel like
I'm a pretty easy person to talk to

and when I've tried to talk to you
in them moments,

you could've opened up to me
and talked to me

and trusted me in them moments.

I just wish that we had
had this conversation before this

because now that I've heard you out

and we've sat here
and we've spoken like this,

I wish we could stay.

(SOLEMN MUSIC)

Do you regret writing 'leave'?

Yeah, I feel
actually quite full of regret.

I wish we could stay.

Yeah, I feel
actually quite full of regret.

Does this feel like
a missed opportunity?

Yeah, I think a little bit now,
because just hearing him out,

I think I was just treating him
like the enemy.

I should've tried harder.
We could've spoken about it.

But I was just so inside myself,
I think.

I actually feel really awful.

What about you, Billy?

I don't regret my decision.

I'm honest and open, like I've been
in this whole experiment.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

And this is the thing.

We could've had these discussions
on numerous occasions

but I felt like
you don't really want to talk,

so it's been very, very hard,
you know.

Yeah, I'd shut off.

Well, obviously the rules
of the commitment ceremony

is that if both partners say 'leave',
you both leave the experiment.

You know, I think, in a small way,

the two of you have made
a little breakthrough

just as two humans tonight,
not necessarily as a couple,

but, you know,
if there is an opportunity

for the two of you to keep talking,

I think that would be really valuable
for both of you.

Thank you.
Thanks, guys. Take a seat.

JOHN: Good luck, guys.
Thank you.

Thank you.
(APPLAUSE)

And our next couple up tonight...

Beth and Teejay.

Oooh!
(APPLAUSE)

Hello, you two.
TEEJAY: G'day, g'day.

Welcome.
COUPLE: Thank you.

First time on the couch.
First time on the couch.

I know. It's our first one, innit?
Yeah.

(LAUGHS)

We are very interested
in how things are going for you.

I mean, we're smooth sailing.
Yeah.

We're like two cups of still water.
(LAUGHS)

From the wedding,
I think we connected really well

and just bantered off each other
and honestly, we've just been

taking the piss out of each other
ever since.

Yeah.

Obviously when I saw him
in the aisle, yeah,

like, saw them beautiful eyes
light up, you know...

(LAUGHS) Stop it.
Joking.

(LAUGHS)
No, it was just...

He knows how to play
to his strengths.

(LAUGHTER)
Yeah, no, it was just great.

I really wasn't expecting to kind of
click this quickly with someone.

Yeah.

And obviously this is
really new to me

'cause, obviously, as I've shared,
I've never had a relationship, so...

Never had a boyfie?

Never had a boyfie in my life, yeah,
which I'm...

That does embarrass me a lot.
So I did share that with Teejay.

But he said that he's so fine
with me

coming to him with my emotions
and he's ready to listen

and he's happy for me to share
how I'm feeling.

So that was really big for me.

She mentioned that
when she gets close to someone,

it's easier to just sort of
pull away rather than to open up

and be vulnerable,

so being able to gain her trust

in order for her to be vulnerable
with me

is something that I'm sort of
putting a big emphasis on.

And you're gonna have plenty of
opportunities for building the trust.

Yeah. I'm really ready
for the experiment.

Let's go to the decision.
Beth, we'll start with you.

Stay.
Oh, it's a clear stay.

Yeah.
Wonderful.

With a smiley face. Thank you.
And to you, Teejay.

Me, I did a big old 'stay' too.
Confident.

(APPLAUSE)
Yeah.

CONTESTANT: Whoo!
I like it.

Well, all the best
for the crash course

that's coming up in the next week.

(LAUGHS)
All the best with moving in together.

Yes.
Enjoy it.

I'm excited.
Open up and go for it.

Let's get cracking.
Thank you!

Come on, Tush.
Good on you, guys.

JOHN: Well done, guys.
Thank you.

Thanks, guys.
Great to see you.

(LAUGHS)
(APPLAUSE)

Our next couple up on the couch,
Jamie and Dave.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

DAVE: Hey, guys.
MEL: Well, hello there.

ALESSANDRA: Hello.
Hello.

JOHN: Greetings.
How you going?

MEL: We're going very well.
How are you going?

Oh, it just feels unreal, honestly.

Like, I'm just... I ride or die
for people I love

and the fact that he's just
backed me from the get-go...

Mmm.
..like, means the most to me...

'cause that's, like, one of my,
like, biggest values.

Mmm.

So if we just go rewind...
Mmm.

..and look at that sentence
that you just shared with us...

(LAUGHS)

.."I'm ride or die for people I..."

Well, OK...
.."love."

Ooooh!
..can I just clarify?

I'd like to clarify.

Like, in love
is a different thing for me,

but of course, like, 100%, he's
someone that I do have love for.

Mm-hm.
Yes.

Mm-hm.

And is that love for him developing
into falling in love with him?

I think we're on a good path.
(LAUGHS)

I like it.

And what about you, Dave?
Where are you at feelings-wise?

Yeah, tell us.
(LAUGHTER)

Are you in love?
(CLEARS THROAT)

Just...
(LAUGHTER)

No, yeah, well, I care about her
so much...

Mmm.

..and, yeah, I mean, those feelings
are definitely there.

They're, like...
It's such an exciting feeling.

Mmm. Brilliant.

Well, let's go to the decision,
shall we?

OK. Who do you want?

I think we're gonna start with you,
Jamie.

Alright. I have chosen to stay.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

And big Dave.

I'm staying.
Oh!

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
JOHN: Well done, team.

You can go back to the group.

MEL: Good on you, guys.
Well done.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
Thank you.

Our next couple up on the couch,
Carina and Paul.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

Hello.
Hi. Hi.

Hello.
Where do you want to sit?

Up to you.
(LAUGHTER)

Sit down.
(COUPLE LAUGH)

So, Carina and Paul.

How are you, Carina?
Let's start with you.

Where are you at?
I'm doing good.

I feel content in the relationship.

I feel like we've had a good ride
and it's still continuing that ride.

And, yeah, really, we're blossoming.

PAUL: It just flows.
I just feel comfortable.

I just feel at ease.

I feel at peace when I'm around her,
you know.

We're talking about life goals
and just talking about the future.

So I've been enjoying
every single...every second of it.

It's been amazing.

(LAUGHTER)
MAN: Aw.

ALESSANDRA: Let's go
to the decision, you guys.

We're gonna go to Carina.

Me? OK.

Stay.
JOHN: Good to see.

Yeah.
(CARINA AND PAUL LAUGH)

Mr Paul.

Well, I'm also, for the third time,
staying.

(LAUGHS)
Very well. Stay, stay, stay.

MAN: Hey!
Oh, you guys.

MEL: Our next couple
up on the couch...

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

..Morena and Tony.

(APPLAUSE)

Hello, you two.
TONY: We'll get smiles happening.

So much enthusiasm. We love it.
(LAUGHS)

Hi, guys. How are you?
JOHN: Good.

MEL: We're very well.

And I've gotta say, we enjoyed
your matching outfits last night.

(LAUGHS)

The flowers, the matching suit...
We blossomed.

It was extravagant.

And you talked about
the blossoming,

which makes us very curious about
what's been going on between you.

Well, we listened to your advice

and we...you know, 1% a day
and I sort of stopped Houdini-ing

and decided to spend some more time
with Morena

and, you know, do some dates
and stuff like that.

So, our first date was
we went to dinner.

And I'm sure you've all heard of
Tina Turner.

Meet Morena Turner.

(LAUGHTER)
Mate, I've never...

I walk into a restaurant
and this lady's singing.

It's, like, "What are you doing?"
But that's Morena.

You sang?
That's who I am.

Mmm.
It was so beautiful.

(BRIGHT MUSIC PLAYS)

And then the next day
we had a game of bowls.

I let her win.
(LAUGHTER)

Well, it sounds like you've been
having a lot of fun together,

that you've dropped
some of the seriousness,

perhaps the overthinking

and just started getting playful
and curious with each other,

which is wonderful.

Yeah. We've had a good time.

All in all,
listening to your advice,

it's kind of, you know, been good.

I hope it has. On my side it has.

Now, hopefully the same thing
for Morena.

MORENA: It's...

It's really lovely to hear that.

But I don't feel it.

(TENSE MUSIC)

So, we've had a good time.

Really nice to hear that.
But I don't feel it.

(TENSE MUSIC)

OK. What would it take to feel that?

I just want him to be a gentleman.

But I've asked him, "Do not
fist-pump me" and he still does it.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

I've ask him, "Stop headlocking me"
and he still does it.

And he'll grab her and go, "Kkhhh!"
on the head, you know. (LAUGHS)

Now, I'm sorry,
I'm so sorry that I'm not fun.

And I'm so glad you're all laughing.
(LAUGHTER)

You've never, ever stopped me
from doing that.

It's just my fun thing
I do with you.

That's how I show sometimes
my affection

and my touch and things like that.

A headlock is affection?
(LAUGHTER)

(TENSE MUSIC)

Morena, sorry, can I just ask,
what does... What, like...

I feel like it's just a jovial
little thing, you know I mean?

BETH: Playful.

RHI: Jeff and I have a hand...

Like, we fist-pump all the time
and have a handshake.

I actually can't believe you guys
are asking me that.

But how would you like me
to compliment you?

How would you like me
to show you?

How do you want to feel?
Just be a gentleman!

Stop headlocking me,
stop fist-pumping me...

Alright, I'll stop. I will stop.
I will stop. I will stop.

I'm sorry.

We had a good week this week.
We changed, you know.

We took it step by step.

But I think it's time to step it up
a little bit

and get to that stage, so...

MEL: Aw!
(CHEERING)

(WOMAN LAUGHS)

I can't head...
It's not a headlock.

It's a hug.
A hug.

Oh, not a headlock. No, no.
It's a headlock-free zone.

No, that was actually a hug.
It was.

And you know what, I actually think
that's... I think...

No headlock.
Oh, that's beautiful.

Literally...

It's very clear that the two of you
are starting to develop

a good foundation of friendship here.

But there needs to be progress.
And there is hope.

We can see it in the two of you, in
your faces, in your body language,

worlds apart from where you were at
last week.

So, let's just try and focus on
the good stuff that's here

and have those conversations
with each other

about what you are comfortable with
and not comfortable with.

That's really positive, healthy stuff
in relationships.

We're going to go to the decision.

Morena, we'll start with you, please.

Stay.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

And, Tony, your decision, please?

Oh.

(LAUGHS)

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

Thank you, both.

ALESSANDRA: Have a great week.

WOMAN: Good job, babe.
MAN: Well done, guys.

Good job.
Well done, guys.

Our last couple up on the couch,
Adrian and Awhina.

(APPLAUSE)
(TENSE MUSIC)

MEL: Hello.
JOHN: Come and grab a seat.

ADRIAN: Hello.

Literally.

Awhina, where do you want to start?

Let's get it all out on the table.
Why did Adrian leave on Friday?

So, Adrian wasn't included
in one of the promo shoots.

And I've gone back
to an empty apartment

and his ring was left
on the counter...

and then I've texted him,
"Where are you?"

And I got back...
"I left. I've gone home.

"Can you pack my bag?"

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

So, Awhina, just so I understand,
Adrian left

because he wasn't going to be a part
of the promo for the show?

No, I left
because I was frustrated.

Adrian, I've got it on good authority
that you gave an ultimatum.

"Either put me in the promo
or I'll leave."

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

JOHN: Just so I understand,
Adrian left

because he wasn't going to be
a part of the promo.

No, I left
because I was frustrated.

Adrian, I've got it on good authority
that you gave an ultimatum.

"Either put me in the promo
or I'll leave."

I did.

Was that any reason to hold
the production or Awhina to ransom?

I didn't hold to ransom.
Ransom's not the right word.

Um...
Well, I think it is.

I mean, you gave an ultimatum.
Yeah.

I was frustrated. I was upset.
And I had every right to be.

Why?
Because I felt disrespected.

I'm, like, "No, (BLEEP) this.
This is, like... This is not fair."

You know, I reacted in emotions,
you know.

I'm a man. I make mistakes.
I'm upset.

And what about Awhina?
Pardon?

MEL: Yeah.
What about Awhina?

Wow.

You left her. She was devastated.

No, I said I (BLEEP) up.
But, like, "I (BLEEP) up."

No, where's your care?
You left her!

Everyone reacts different.

Yeah, but anyways,
like I said, on that day...

You left me, Adrian.
Yeah.

You left your ring.

You told me
you were only coming back

if you were a part of that promo

and now you're deflecting once again
what I'm telling you how I felt.

I'm trying to talk here.

Like I said, I'm human
and we all make mistakes. Like...

Adrian, I've got to jump in

because the way in which you are
saying this is a real problem.

You're not showing empathy.

You're not giving her a sense
that you understand.

The bottom line is you weren't
involved in the promo and you left.

You threw the toys out of the cot
and took off.

You then left her hanging
and didn't contact her.

You went to dinner with Sierah
and she didn't know about it.

You then came into
the dinner party all fired up

and got defensive

and essentially tried to go at anyone
that came at you.

And you're certainly getting
defensive now.

So, what I'm feeding back to you,
Adrian,

is that you're not good
at saying sorry.

And that's a problem,

because when things hurt your
feelings, you get on attack mode.

Your fight style is to get aggressive
and to win.

And I pointed this out to you
before - it's a pattern

and you've gotta change it up

because Awhina is not gonna be able
to get close to you.

It's also contributing to why
she's dancing around

saying her true feelings

'cause she's afraid of your reaction,

which is to get on the defence
and to put her in her place.

It's destroying your intimacy.

It's destroying your bond.
Yeah. I'm aware.

Awhina, how did it land for you

when you found out
that Adrian had left?

What did it do to you?
What impact did it have?

It was kind of just like
really validating

how I felt for quite some time,
where I felt invisible...

Because I don't feel like
you considered me at all.

The fact is,
it is just a promo video

and you should be here for me,

but these actions show me
that I'm not your priority.

Yeah, like...
Yeah, I just messed up.

I've done that in my past.

I just go in this mode, like,
I self-sabotage

and I don't give a shit about
anything or anyone.

I was heated
and I reacted on emotion.

Us men can react heavily
on emotions

and we're not good with emotions.

Then we make dumb decisions
and that's what I done.

I would like to jump in.

Being a man
has nothing to do with it.

Yeah, yeah, did I say a man?
Yes.

Any person...
Of course, of course.

..can have difficulty...
Yeah.

..and all of us...
Mmm.

..every single human
is an emotional being...

Yeah.
Period.

That is what defines us
as human beings.

So, unless you're not human...
Mmm.

..that capability is in you

and it has nothing to do with
man and woman.

DAVE: Yeah, I'm not coming for you,
Adrian, at all,

but, like, wouldn't you love
to learn how to be so open

with someone like Awhina?

Like, she's...
Yeah, of course. Of course.

She'll love you
till the end of the days, mate.

She's so gorgeous.
Yeah.

(AWHINA CRIES)
(SOLEMN MUSIC)

(CRIES)

DAVE: You've got a good opportunity

and I really feel like
you need to open up to her, man,

because she'll show you the way.

And I agree.

(AWHINA CRIES)

'Cause I care for her.
I genuinely do care.

And I know that I'm doing wrong
and I need to do better.

So, I guess there's only one way
to prove it.

OK. You want to go there?
Let's do it.

You know, I heard everything
Awhina had to say tonight.

She wasn't being seen
and she was unheard

and the only way to fix that
was to say 'stay'.

OK.
(APPLAUSE)

Awhina, can we have
your decision, please?

No, we don't need it. Don't worry.

(TENSE MUSIC)
(CLEARS THROAT)

Um...

You know, like, confessions week
we all had to write letters?

Adrian didn't write one line.
He didn't do it.

Anyways, I went through my drawer
today and I've read through it.

And a big thing in all of this

was my most significant milestones
as a mum...

and I think at the end of it,
I wrote

how "being a mum,
you have to put your child first.

"And now, here I am, being selfish,
missing out on real milestones

"in the pursuit of love.

"I guess time will tell if I made
the right decision or not.

"And coming on this experiment,
how I felt today didn't work...

"in a away, from those
very real milestones."

(SOLEMN MUSIC)

So, yeah, I'm...

Yeah, I wrote...
I wrote 'sorry, leave'.

(SOLEMN MUSIC)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

So, yeah, I wrote...
I wrote 'sorry, leave'.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

JOHN: So, as we know,
with the rules of this experiment,

if one person to stay,
the other says leave,

then they stay for another week
to see if they can turn it around.

Now, Awhina, do you hear Adrian
saying he wants to improve?

I heard him say it.

Do you believe it?

I feel like...

Tonight was definitely, like,

a big whack-in-the-face moment
for Adrian...

and he probably does truly believe

that he wants to start showing up
for me.

But I'm not sure he's able to.
Yeah.

So, it's out on the table.
The challenge is there.

It's on your shoulders to really do
some big-time lifting.

Yeah.

You know, learning a lot about
myself and taking it on board

and listening to it and hearing her.

And I'm well aware she's taking time
from her son...

Yeah.
..so it's, like, need to show up.

I think you've got it in you, but...

we can only see from what you do
on a day-to-day basis.

Yeah.

You've got seven days
to turn it around

and let's see some big change.

Go back to the group now.
Thank you, guys.

(APPLAUSE)
MEL: Well done, guys.

(KISSES)

Yeah, it's a tough one.
Like, I wasn't expecting that.

I'm actually quite shocked.

But I took accountability
and I hope Awhina heard me.

Well, so we're rooting for you now.
I appreciate it.

You know, I know I can show up,

so I am positive
that we can work things out...

and get back to where we were.

NARRATOR: Tomorrow night...
CLINT: Wow. Here we go.

..our three newest couples
move into the apartments.

Oh, how cute is that!
Oh, my god! Look!

..as they get a crash course
in married life.

Well, obviously
this dirty, stinky rat goes there.

I just kind of want to hear, like,
your side.

I feel so sorry for you.

Eliot's about as shallow
as a pond in a desert.

But is Lauren poisoning Veronica
and Eliot's well?

Eliot is a narcissist.

It is really disheartening to hear
that insight into Eliot.

Run.

And then, the next phase
of the experiment begins.

Where are our guests?

(SCREAMING AND LAUGHTER)

Over two big nights...

Hi, guys.

..family and friends week returns.

You guys are happy?
We are, we are.

Our couples get
much-needed perspective...

You've gotta have
each other's back.

..from their partners' loved ones.

This is gaslighting.

That's your interpretation of it,

but that doesn't mean
that it's true.

But for Awhina and Adrian...

You are focusing a lot
on the negative because...

He hasn't even shown up,
so let's just stop it there.

I was talking.
I don't care.

..when their families
come together...

How dare you!

..all hell breaks loose.

I actually...
I don't need to listen to this.

Goodbye.
Pointless conversation.

I'm done.
