00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:04,320
MAN: Let's go!
2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:08,360
NARRATOR: Our newlyweds
went on the annual couples' retreat.
3
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:10,440
It was just perfect
to just have a little reset.
4
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:11,440
(WOMAN YELPS)
5
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:12,960
And the mini coastal getaway...
6
00:00:13,040 --> 00:00:15,800
AWHINA: It's been good having
that chance to connect again.
7
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:19,240
..proved to be the remedy
some desperately needed.
8
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:22,680
We're back to our old selves,
where we're having fun together.
9
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:25,920
JAMIE: The thing is, like,
you are so lucky.
10
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:30,160
But when Jamie put Lauren and Clint's
marriage under the microscope...
11
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,760
In real life, I would not come
to you for relationship advice.
12
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,000
..Lauren did not hold back...
13
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:36,360
You're a bunch of wild animals.
14
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:38,440
You actually ambushed me
last night.
15
00:00:38,480 --> 00:00:40,880
No, no, no, don't even go there.
16
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:42,640
..and left Jamie feeling betrayed
17
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,240
by the lack of support
from friends Rhi and Carina.
18
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:47,360
RHI: I'm a Switzerland.
19
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:48,480
I want everyone
to come together.
20
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,320
Then stand up for me too, Carina!
21
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,760
I'm so sick of being the bad guy
22
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,680
because I speak up,
but where is my defence?
23
00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:59,280
And then...
(TINKLES GLASS)
24
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,800
(TINKLES GLASS)
Dinner is served.
25
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:07,040
..a MAFS world first saw
two dinner parties on the same night.
26
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:08,640
What do you reckon's going on
over there?
27
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,640
How are you going to defend Lauren?
You were my friend!
28
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,560
I am your friend!
There's no apology.
29
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,880
While Rhi made amends with Jamie...
30
00:01:16,960 --> 00:01:19,720
I am sorry in that moment
I didn't stand up for you.
31
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:21,120
Bingo. Thank you.
32
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:25,440
..a defiant Carina felt
the full force of Jamie's tirade.
33
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,640
Don't you call me 'amiga'...
You're attacking me!
34
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,880
Stop. Stop.
No, don't tell me to stop!
35
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:32,120
Carina, shut your mouth.
36
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:33,400
MEL AND ALESSANDRA: Oooh!
37
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:36,200
NARRATOR: Tonight...
38
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,240
ALESSANDRA: You're smiling, Adrian.
That doesn't always happen.
39
00:01:39,320 --> 00:01:43,280
..Awhina and Adrian's
extraordinary turnaround.
40
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,160
I'm happy, you know.
We're at a great place right now.
41
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,520
We're also talking about
our next moments together.
42
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:51,680
Love is on full display
at the commitment ceremony.
43
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:53,400
Can you see yourself falling in love
with Rhi?
44
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,080
Yeah.
And how does that feel?
45
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,120
It feels very good.
It feels very good.
46
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,200
CARINA: It was like
a mean girls 2.0 environment.
47
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,120
A friendship in tatters...
48
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,000
JAMIE: You keep on doubling down
and insulting me.
49
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,040
..with neither Jamie nor Carina
backing down.
50
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,800
I defended you and your husband...
When? When?
51
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,800
Can the experts mend deep wounds?
52
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,040
You're embarrassing.
Please, just stop talking to me.
53
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,120
You talk as though
you're above them.
54
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,640
Lauren held to account.
55
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,760
You've thrown some words around
tonight - 'psycho', 'animals',
56
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:28,760
"I don't associate with this type."
57
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,280
The experts deliver some hard truths.
58
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,080
I think you're giving yourself
a little bit too much credit here,
59
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:36,120
personality-wise.
60
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:37,640
Oh, dang.
61
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,720
That's the problem, though.
That's your problem.
62
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,840
NARRATOR: It's the morning
of the fifth commitment ceremony
63
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:55,120
of the experiment.
64
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,880
Our couples are still feeling
the impact
65
00:03:00,920 --> 00:03:03,040
of last night's dinner party.
66
00:03:04,640 --> 00:03:06,040
TEEJAY: Last night
got pretty hectic, didn't it?
67
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:07,960
BETH: Mm-hm. It did.
68
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,440
It really did.
69
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:13,600
I didn't expect Jamie and Carina
to now be on different sides either.
70
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,080
I did.
That didn't get resolved at all.
71
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,160
AWHINA: Lauren walked off calling us
a bunch of losers. Like...
72
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,400
Like, Jamie was just expressing
how she felt
73
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,000
and they couldn't see
her perspective,
74
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,440
so it just went round
and roundabouts.
75
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,760
And I'm still confused as to why
we're all arguing over a couple
76
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,360
who just don't care enough
to even show up.
77
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,000
This morning, Jamie has woken up
feeling the hangover
78
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:41,080
of her intense fight with Carina
at the dinner party.
79
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,240
DAVE: Oh!
80
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:44,840
Oh...
81
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,160
That's such an unpleasant way
to start the day.
82
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,920
Carina is certainly not my friend,
that is for damn sure.
83
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,080
If that is her being a friend,
well, she's no friend of mine.
84
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,000
No, she's not...
She's not my cup of tea.
85
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,640
You would say the rest of the group
were mean girls.
86
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:01,480
Asking questions
and we're mean girls.
87
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:02,480
And we're mean girls...
88
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,880
Because if I was in that situation,
I would feel the same way!
89
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,520
Exactly how I am now!
I'm being defensive of myself!
90
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:13,120
You're feeding into this narrative
and you are validating delusion!
91
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,320
I don't validate what she said,
Jamie!
92
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,400
I can't fight with someone
who has no logic!
93
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,880
You keep saying things
that validate her behaviour.
94
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:24,840
DAVE: Mmm.
Don't call me a mean girl.
95
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,240
Like, you want to start the night
with mean girl,
96
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:29,960
I'm gonna be
the biggest (BLEEP) bitch here.
97
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,960
(SIGHS)
That conversation was painful.
98
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:35,680
Talking to her was painful.
99
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,920
Sitting in that chair facing her
was painful.
100
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,600
Hearing the words
come out of her mouth, painful.
101
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,680
Don't... Don't put your hands
in the lion cage, babe.
102
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,560
Don't do it.
103
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,920
Doubling down
and calling me a mean girl.
104
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,040
Like, you know what I mean?
I'm, like...
105
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:52,960
Oh...
106
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:54,880
Why would I want to be friends
with that?
107
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,120
I definitely got my words out.
You got your apology from Rhi.
108
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,160
Yeah, well, that's...
That's what I wanted.
109
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,360
I'm really sorry I hurt you in
that moment when I didn't stand up.
110
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,680
Bingo. Thank you.
That's all I needed.
111
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:13,320
I came in hoping
that you would come like this.
112
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,040
You're not meeting me
with this stupidity.
113
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,880
That's why I put you
in very different categories.
114
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,280
She was genuine, she was remorseful,
115
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,200
she was, like, empathetic
to my feelings, she validated me.
116
00:05:23,280 --> 00:05:25,520
I was really hoping to
resolve things with Rhi.
117
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,160
She is someone, like,
I'm quite close with,
118
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:29,720
and so that would've been
really hard
119
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,000
if her and I, like,
couldn't resolve this.
120
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,240
I wanted clarity on where I stand
with everyone else.
121
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,800
Yeah.
And the clarity I did get.
122
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:40,440
I know exactly where I stand
with Carina.
123
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,520
I literally dropped enough F-bombs
124
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,440
to fill up quite a few swear jars.
125
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:51,440
Am I proud of my behaviour? No.
126
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:57,960
I feel like Ryan now has to give
the title of 'classless' to my mouth
127
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,480
because it was brutal.
128
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,440
I've been the person
to have good relationships
129
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,440
with pretty much everyone.
130
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,680
Like, people do mean
something to me
131
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:09,440
and friends do mean something to me.
132
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:14,040
But, like, if you actually do manage
to hurt me,
133
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,480
I am gonna be, like,
nothing short of ruthless.
134
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:23,040
The absence of Lauren and Clint
was remarkable for many reasons.
135
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:27,120
One, I didn't have to look
at her face for a second longer
136
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,560
or break bread with this bitch.
137
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:34,640
Two, it was, like, case in point.
138
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,160
Where is your mate?
139
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:41,800
After her confrontation with Jamie
at last night's dinner party,
140
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:46,960
Carina is feeling let down by
how their disagreement unfolded.
141
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:51,560
CARINA: Yeah, I'm quite disappointed
how the outcome was last night.
142
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:55,000
Feeling deflated, yeah.
Just a bit hurt.
143
00:06:55,080 --> 00:07:00,240
I obviously cried
and I'm so confused about everything
144
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,640
and how it got
so blown out of proportion.
145
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,640
PAUL: Yeah.
It just was so unnecessary.
146
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,080
Yeah.
It was not needed at all.
147
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,720
Didn't realise last night
was going to pan out the way it did.
148
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,160
Jamie just attacked me
so quickly, before I could even...
149
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,720
Yeah.
..give myself a piece of bread.
150
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:19,320
But why do you have to say
151
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,400
those types of quick,
like, narky comments?
152
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,200
Mmm.
That's what I don't like about...
153
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:25,960
Yeah.
..Jamie's presence and aura.
154
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,760
She just says such narky comments
155
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,480
and, like, how she was instantly
shutting me down.
156
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,240
Just what comes out of her mouth,
I'm just, like...
157
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:39,360
Right now, I feel Jamie
doesn't want to be a friend of mine
158
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,480
and maybe the same goes for me.
159
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,560
I do not agree with what Lauren said
160
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:48,760
but how Jamie has gone about
this whole situation,
161
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,000
it was probably the most hurtful.
162
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,120
I have my own voice.
163
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,360
I found it hard to stand up
for myself,
164
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:02,680
so, yeah, I'm nervous
about facing Jamie tonight.
165
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:08,920
Feeling so isolated
and just attacked, to say the least.
166
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,520
NARRATOR: As our couples prepare
for the evening ahead...
167
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,600
there is one question
on everyone's lips.
168
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,640
Lauren and Clint,

if Lauren and Clint come.

I don't know.

We'll find out tonight, though,
won't we, love?

Yeah.
174

Lauren and Clint
are gonna get roasted.

show up tonight?
178
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,880
I don't want to have to look at her.
Like, I really, really don't.
179
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:03,640
I just want to hear the experts'
perspective on her behaviour.

for today.
181

I'm really hoping the experts
can go,
182
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,840
"Yeah, like, Lauren,
your behaviour's shit. You're shit.
183
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:18,440
"Stop being a bitch. You're rude.
Get out of here."
184
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:19,840
And I'd be, like, "Yes."
185
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,640
I just want the experts
to let her have it.
186
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,240
That would be really, like,
orgasmic.
187
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:31,080
It's, like, my version
of, like, auditory porn.

The experts can't teach them
anything, so why bother?

You had the couples' retreat

which left us, frankly, speechless.

tonight.

Alright.
Well, let's cut straight to it.

Last night, what happened?
Where were you?
229
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,240
We had a dinner party
in our apartment.
230
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,400
A cocktail party and a dinner party.
231
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:45,680
A party of two.

BETH: Just the both of you?
ADRIAN: Where was the invite?
233
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,080
Didn't you get it?
No, must've missed it.
234
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:53,800
I'm sure you don't get invited
to a lot of parties, Adrian.
235
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:01,080
This is a huge reason
why we don't enjoy this environment,
236
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:02,840
because of the peanut gallery.
237
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:04,720
The chips and the cheap comments.
238
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:11,480
So, explain
what was behind your decision
239
00:13:11,560 --> 00:13:15,040
not to come to
the group dinner party.
240
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,040
I can... Do you want me to go?
Yeah.
241
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:22,920
Yeah, I... For me, it's about
a lot of the standards and values
242
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,480
that I know I live too and we share.
243
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,520
We align on those sort of values
244
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,520
and what we've experienced
in the social environments,
245
00:13:31,560 --> 00:13:35,000
dinner parties, couples' retreat
246
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,760
aren't the values that I know
I don't stand for and live for.
247
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:42,560
We just find it
an absolute embarrassment,
248
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,840
so we just chose not to turn up
last night and endure that again.
249
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,360
So, Lauren,
what happened on the retreat?
250
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:57,800
Basically, I just got attacked
by Awhina, Jamie and Beth
251
00:13:57,840 --> 00:13:58,960
at girls' night.
252
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,120
Tell me some of the things
that were said to you.
253
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:06,720
They are asking me things
about Clint,
254
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,120
like, you know, what I did
and didn't like about Clint
255
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,560
and it upset me
because there's, like...
256
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:16,560
Clint is literally the nicest person
probably on this entire planet
257
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,280
and for me to have to bring up
things and talk about things
258
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,760
that, you know, might be hurtful
or upsetting
259
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:25,320
or, you know, just something
that's not positive
260
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,600
didn't make me feel good
to talk about those things
261
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:29,000
and so that's when I started to cry.
262
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:32,880
Like, I do feel shut down
a lot of the time...
263
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:36,400
in a group dynamic,
264
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:40,320
especially when that lady
keeps flapping her mouth constantly.
265
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,320
So, being rude to us...
266
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:43,880
Shut up, Jamie, for god's sake.
267
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:47,640
Oh...
Shut the (BLEEP) up for once.
268
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:49,200
By the time we got back...
JEFF: Wait, wait, wait.
269
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:50,800
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
270
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:52,560
At the start, right, we gave you
the benefit of the doubt.
271
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,000
We welcomed you with open arms.
272
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,040
The reason you're met with this,
I guess...
273
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:58,680
Frustration.
274
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:02,800
..frustration is because we welcomed
you in, we put our arms around you,
275
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:06,480
we went into bat against Eliot
for you,
276
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,600
so, like, you had every opportunity
to open yourself up to the group...
277
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,760
Oh, god.
278
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:13,960
..and get more out of this experiment
than anyone else.
279
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,040
But I've explained to you
multiple times
280
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,720
that we are not, like,
extroverted personalities.
281
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,800
We are like not all of them.
282
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,200
And when we've tried to remove
ourselves in social situations,
283
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:29,200
it's created more drama
and more psycho behaviour.
284
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:30,880
Like...
BETH: Psycho behaviour?
285
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:35,160
Honestly, the behaviour
at social settings is boganic.
286
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,360
There is no other way
to describe it.
287
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:41,520
JOHN: What does that mean?
288
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:44,640
It is bogan behaviour.
289
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:47,560
Classless.
290
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,960
It's, like, just... It's just
lacking class, I would say.
291
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,240
I do feel like the behaviour
at dinner parties,
292
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,080
which is usually led by
the four of you in the corner there,
293
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:57,880
is boganic behaviour.
294
00:15:57,920 --> 00:15:59,400
And I stand by that.
295
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,080
It's 'cause of your behaviour.
JACQUI: Yeah, the irony is...
296
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:04,520
It's your behaviour.
297
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:08,080
Dealing with this absolute circus
is just honestly mentally draining,
298
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:09,880
so there's absolutely no point in me
299
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:11,200
even having a discussion
with any of you.
300
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:12,880
I'm done. Don't even...
We're just saying...
301
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:14,440
Don't even cut me.
I'm literally done talking.
302
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,120
You are so rude to us all.
You're embarrassing.
303
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:18,800
Please, just stop talking to me.
304
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:20,480

that we can pull across?
305
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:24,520

and they're way below you.
313
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,480
Do you think you're better than them?
314
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:00,880

Mm-hm.
315
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,560

some words around tonight -
316
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:08,360

322

Because that's what you're saying
to them.
323
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,040
I feel...
Boganic behaviour...
324
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:33,880
Mm-hm.
325
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,560
..is essentially
"You've got no class.
326
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,120
"I don't have time for you peasants."
327
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,040
That's what I'm getting tonight
328
00:17:45,120 --> 00:17:47,160
and that's what I've heard
from this group.
329
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:53,240
And I'm challenging you and I'm
saying to you, is this how you feel?
330
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:56,400
Because that's what's coming across.
331
00:17:59,120 --> 00:18:02,240
At the dinner parties
and at the couples' retreat,
332
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:05,480
I definitely do feel like
I would not behave
333
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,000
the way that they behave
in social situations.
334
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,600
So, for that reason, yes, I do feel
like my behaviour is better.
335
00:18:13,120 --> 00:18:14,080
How's your behaviour?
336
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:15,920
I don't know, Adrian.
Why don't you tell me?
337
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,400
The fact that you can't see
your attitude is wild to me.
338
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,240
Like, the fact that you cannot see
what you are saying is crazy,
339
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:25,440
I think, to everyone.
340
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,520
Adrian, pipe down.
Guys...
341
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:31,560
Do you know
what's quite interesting to me,
342
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,560
is that when it all went down
with Eliot
343
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:38,480
and you came back to say
your piece, Eliot had gone,
344
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,280
the group really rallied around you.
345
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,680
And now they're sitting here tonight
throwing daggers at you.
346
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:52,520
How do you explain the fact that the
group's turned on you particularly?
347
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:59,400
Yeah, I definitely have a cold,
hard exterior, that is for sure.
348
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,760
Like, it does take me a long time
to drop my walls
349
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,040
and to get to know someone
and to let them get to know me.
350
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:08,320
And, you know, people think
351
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,240
that, you know,
I'm a bitch or something
352
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,080
because I, you know, maybe...
353
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,200
I don't know, I have
resting bitch face, apparently.
354
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,680
And I feel like I get taken
the wrong way a lot of the time
355
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:23,200
and then, like, people get
their back up and then I react.
356
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,160
Why do they get their back up?
357
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:26,920
Probably 'cause they think
that I'm being rude
358
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,040
or that I don't like them,
359
00:19:29,120 --> 00:19:31,360
when it's really just the case
that I am shy,
360
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,840
I am very closed off to begin with.
361
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,520
MEL: No, this time
I've got to jump in.
362
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,160
There is a clear difference
between being shy...
363
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,440
Mm-hm.
..and being rude...
364
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,080
or being disrespectful.
365
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,560
I think you're giving yourself
a little bit too much credit here...
366
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:51,360
personality-wise
367
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,040
because what we're seeing
368
00:19:54,120 --> 00:19:56,080
in terms of the pattern
that you're displaying here
369
00:19:56,120 --> 00:19:57,520
is rudeness, Lauren.
370
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:02,000
You know, John asked you earlier
371
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:05,720
if you see yourself
as above the rest of the group.
372
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,080
Well, certainly as outsiders
observing you,
373
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,560
even just your non-verbal
communication,
374
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,040
we would say
that it's a resounding yes.
375
00:20:13,120 --> 00:20:15,320
But I think that's the problem,
though,
376
00:20:15,360 --> 00:20:16,480
that is how I'm perceived...
377
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,000
That's your problem.
It is my problem, yes.
378
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:20,280
Yes.
379
00:20:20,360 --> 00:20:22,480
So, what I think would be
really helpful here for you
380
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:26,000
in terms of your own development
is to start asking yourself,
381
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:30,040
"What am I doing that's making
them feel that way toward me?"
382
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:33,680
I mean, you've acknowledged
some of the words,
383
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,080
the bogans, the losers and so on
384
00:20:36,120 --> 00:20:38,000
but apart from that, I mean,
385
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:41,840
are you aware of some of the
throwaway comments, for example,
386
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:46,280
the passive-aggressive barbs
that you're throwing out to the group
387
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,840
or the eye rolling or the, you know,
388
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:50,800
the really looking down
on these people?
389
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,760
I feel like in the same
conversations, though,
390
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:55,280
they're calling me names as well.
391
00:20:55,360 --> 00:20:57,960
Again, you're blaming them.
I'm only talking about you.
392
00:20:58,040 --> 00:20:59,640
But it's in the same conversations,
so why is it just...
393
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:01,760
As a mature adult,
one of your jobs
394
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,920
is to take accountability
for what you do and say.
395
00:21:06,360 --> 00:21:07,720
So my concern here
396
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:11,360
is that you're choosing not to look
at that stuff at the moment.
397
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:14,760
I mean, are you able to do that now?
398
00:21:19,120 --> 00:21:22,120
Yeah, it's definitely something
that I can work on.
399
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,320
ALESSANDRA: Lauren, do you feel like
the group conflict
400
00:21:26,360 --> 00:21:28,120
has been a distraction to you
401
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,120
focusing on a relationship
with Clint?
402
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:31,480
Yep.
403
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:35,040
It's definitely been a major
negative part of the experience,
404
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,080
is the group.
405
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,520
Clint actually said that when there
was conflict, that you guys...
406
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,640
your relationship got stronger...
OK, Jeff. Sure. Yep.
407
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:43,760
..'cause you turned into each other.
408
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,160
Did you not say that?
OK. Yep. Uh-huh. Yep.
409
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,240
We definitely united much more
when you guys had your carry-on.
410
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,560
ALESSANDRA: To soothe my curiosity,
what's going on with you two?
411
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:58,240
What is the relationship?
412
00:21:58,280 --> 00:21:59,920
We get along really well.
413
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,240
Like, day-to-day living,
we actually get along fine.
414
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,120
But we are really...
We are friends, like...
415
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,640
We did speak last time about
the fact that it was a friendship...
416
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:12,800
Mm-hm.
Yep.
417
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:16,120
..and it was very clear to me,
Clint, at least from your side
418
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,040
that you did want to pursue
something more than a friendship.
419
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,240
So, what has happened
and what has been done
420
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,080
to progress the relationship?
421
00:22:25,120 --> 00:22:27,120
I don't know.
422
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:32,000
We just have been getting along,
enjoying company but haven't...
423
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:33,760
But that wasn't your goal.
424
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:35,760
No, definitely not.
425
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:37,680
Definitely came in here
to find someone
426
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,400
to be intimate
and affectionate with, for sure.
427
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:41,920
But in the last couple of weeks,
no...
428
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:43,880
Do you think you were impacted
by her
429
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,600
not wanting to meet you
at that level?
430
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:49,680
I probably got my guard up
a little bit.
431
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:54,400
Not sure if there was something
that I wanted to keep advancing.
432
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:56,680
I would need...
433
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,640
I think we're on the same page
434
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,440
but we probably need to spend
more time as friends
435
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:03,760
to see if it would be something...
436
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,640
Like, I don't feel like I want to
jump into bed with Lauren.
437
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:10,000
No, I don't feel like
I want to just...
438
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:13,320
Yeah, I don't feel that right now,
no.
439
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:17,480
RYAN: Clint, can I just say
something as your mate?
440
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,520
I'm sitting here and I'm sad,
brother,
441
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:24,120
because you said you like Lauren,
she's attractive.
442
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:25,560
You've gone into bat for her.
443
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:27,360
You still put your balls
on the line.
444
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,440
You said at the boys' night
you had hope for the relationship
445
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:34,120
and now I just...I want you to speak
from the heart, mate.
446
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:35,920
Like, what do you want from this,
447
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,840
because I've not seen her give you
a single thing.
448
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,960
No support, no emotional connection,
no physical touch.
449
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,880
So, just... It makes me sad, mate.
450
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:47,600
ADRIAN: You can like her, Clint.
That's the thing.
451
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:48,960
Sorry, mate?
You can like her.
452
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:50,400
You can say you do like her.
Oh, yeah.
453
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:51,960
It's clear as day...
Listen, it's clear as day
454
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:53,600
Lauren doesn't like you
and that's OK
455
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:55,840
but you can also say, you know what,
I actually do like her as a person
456
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,200
and I do like her
and I want to pursue things
457
00:23:58,240 --> 00:23:59,360
and if she says no, that's alright.
458
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,680
Like, I don't know why
you're beating around the bush.
459
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:07,800
And again, it's OK to like her, man.
460
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,720
LAUREN: But why do you all think
that I've convinced him to say this?
461
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,520
We've said we are friends.
We've been friends...
462
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:14,800
ADRIAN: That's all good.
LAUREN: ..from the beginning.
463
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:16,760
DAVE: That's all good as hell.
..continue to be friends outside.
464
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,040
That is what we've discussed.
465
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:23,680
BETH: Oh, I know.
I feel so sorry for him.
466
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:31,400
ALESSANDRA: I don't know.
I get a sense that it's different.
467
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,400
This is my sense.
CLINT: Mmm.
468
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:36,840
From observing you not just tonight
469
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,520
but since you've arrived
to the experiment,
470
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:43,040
that if she had allowed or
had opened a window or a door,
471
00:24:43,120 --> 00:24:46,520
maybe there's something here,
you would've been very game.
472
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:48,760
Probably. Early on, yeah, for sure.
473
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:54,040
Lauren, do you feel like
you've put everything you can
474
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,400
into this relationship
475
00:24:56,480 --> 00:25:00,680
or into attempting to build
a relationship with Clint?

Um...

Look, Clint and I have been
living together for a few weeks now.
482
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:27,240
We've done the tasks,
we've gone on the retreat,
483
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:30,120
we've had long conversations,
we've gone on dates.
484
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,840
We've, you know,
spent a lot of time together.
485
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:41,240
And we've both agreed
that it's just not...
486
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:42,560
it's just not there.

Oh, that's horrible.

Bro, I actually feel embarrassed
for you.

If you had this again, this decision
512
00:27:33,120 --> 00:27:34,720
and you wanted to write down
something...
513
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:36,400
Mm-hm.
..on the card...
514
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:43,480
that wasn't condescending
and sarcastic and demeaning,
515
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:44,720
what would it be?
516
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:46,360

For you, Clint,
what have you got for us?
519

Well, it's been
a challenging few days.
520
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,320
I think...
521
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,920
Yeah, I think the best thing
right now is to also leave.
522
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:04,400
OK.

What we're really curious about
525
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:14,440
is where to from here
as a couple, as a friendship?
526
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,560
What are you gonna do?
What are your plans?
527
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:21,640
Invite her to Tassie, maybe.
I would definitely go to Tassie.
528
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:26,920
OK.
Fantastic.
529
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,640
Clint, do you hope
there might be something more?
530
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:34,920
Well, I think if I saw Lauren
outside of here...
531
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:36,320
Or when... When I see Lauren
outside of here...
532
00:28:36,360 --> 00:28:37,720
Yes.
533
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:40,280
It's also about me seeing if
Lauren's the right person for me.
534
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,200
It's not just me waiting there
for Lauren to just jump up...
535
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:44,240
I get it.
536
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:47,800
So if it did look like she was,
like, the right person for me
537
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:49,960
and our worlds could actually work,
538
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:51,600
absolutely, I'd love to explore
a future.
539
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:53,040
What about you, Lauren?
540
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:54,280

Sure, I hope that it does blossom
into something.

then that's OK too.

No, we're OK. Thank you.

You're smiling, Adrian.

00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:48,360
Yeah, I know.
First time in a minute.
573
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:49,760
That doesn't always happen.
574

No, I'm always smiling,
but not on this couch here, no.

He's always smiling.
576
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:55,400

something naughty

and I'm, like, "Shit."

How was the couples' retreat
for you?
580
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,040
I really enjoyed
the couples' retreat
581
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:06,720
and I left with a smile on my dial.
582
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:08,360
I left and I was having a perk
to my step.
583
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:12,920
And I feel bad because there was
so much turmoil within the group
584
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,680
and I was sad for that,
but I'm here for Adrian
585
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:17,480
and our relationship is stronger
after leaving.
586
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:24,040
This is really nice to see you
having so much lightness again.
587
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:27,680
How are you feeling about that,
Adrian?
588
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:29,840
I'm feeling good, you know.
589
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,720
We started off strong and then
obviously went downhill from there
590
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:36,960
but we're back on...you know,
back on the bike, going up the hill
591
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:38,320
and I'm happy, you know.
592
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,480
We're at a great place right now.
593
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:43,240
We're also talking about
our next moments together...
594
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:44,440
Yay!
595
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:46,320
..so, like, on the weekend
just gone,
596
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:47,720
Adrian was already discussing
597
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,280
what he wanted to do with me
the following weekend
598
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,200
and I really loved hearing that
599
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:55,560
because it made me hear "I want to
spend more time with you."
600
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:57,360
You know, he could just even say
601
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:02,360
"I want to go to the tip with you
on the weekend,"
602
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:04,840
but I'm still hearing
"I want to spend time with you."
603
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:09,120
So you've had some validation?
604
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:12,200
Loads of validation.
Loads.
605
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:14,120
Yeah.
Mmm. That's wonderful.
606
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:22,960
So, you feel comfortable enough
to be physically attentive, I guess.
607
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:26,240
Has that now progressed
back into the sexual realm?
608
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:27,520
Within 24 hours.
609
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:29,840
Within 24 hours.
(LAUGHTER)
610
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:36,720
I think we should go to the decision.
So do I.
611
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:40,040
That was the quickest
couch session in, like, ever.
612
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:44,120
Yeah, it's obviously obvious
that I'm staying.
613
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:47,360
It's obviously obvious
that Adrian is staying.
614
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:48,760
Alright.
615
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:50,920
Awhina, what about you?
616
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,080
I'm also staying.
617
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:55,440
That's an enthusiastic big stay.
618
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:57,200

We love it.

JOHN: How are you two?
631
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:29,360
Well, oh, OK, so, Ryan has started
complimenting me
632
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:32,200
on the thing that's most important
to me, which is my intellect.
633
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,080
And he hasn't...
And fashion sense.
634
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:35,640
I mean, look.
Oh, yeah, fashion as well. Yeah.
635
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:37,200
(LAUGHS)
That too?
636
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:38,520
Yeah. Yeah.
637
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:40,440
She's brilliant, you know, and...
Yeah.
638
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:42,120
..it's nice to meet someone who...
639
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,920
She's probably even slightly above
my intellectual level
640
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:46,680
and it's really refreshing,
you know.
641
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:48,320
Like... Yeah.
(COUPLE LAUGH)
642
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:51,920
That was big for me.
643
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,240
Like, on my letter writing,
like, I wrote about that,
644
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:56,480
how I felt like I never get seen
by anyone
645
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:59,920
because I get assumed
I'm a model or, like, hot
646
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:04,000
and I never get seen for who I am
as a person deep down inside
647
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:05,880
and so, like,
that's really important to me.
648
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:09,360
So do you feel like you're on
the same page as one another?
649
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:13,120
So, Ryan and I started getting
sexually intimate...
650
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:17,640
and I think we've done it, like,
maybe twice or three times...
651
00:34:17,720 --> 00:34:19,080
There's been more than that.
Come on.
652
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:19,920
Again, I... I...
(LAUGHS)
653
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:23,720
One morning, we woke up
654
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:25,400
and I was, like, "Oh, shall we..."
you know...
655
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:29,760
And Ryan said, "Oh, no.
656
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,840
"Like, sorry,
I can't before the gym."
657
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:40,360
Then he explained to me that
he would prefer to... (LAUGHS)
658
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:46,000
save his testosterone for the gym.
659
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:47,640
(LAUGHS)
660
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,160
MEL: I wasn't expecting you
to go there.
661
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,200
You're saving it for the gym?
662
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:57,200
He likes to save his testosterone
for dinner parties and curls.
663
00:34:57,240 --> 00:34:59,720
(LAUGHTER)
664
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:07,560
And I actually really respected it,
right?
665
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:10,640
It shows discipline in a man and
it shows that he's got self-control.
666
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:17,280
He obviously values his lifestyle
and fitness and body very highly,
667
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,600
which is actually a huge priority
for me, so I said to him...
668
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:21,120
Not at the expense of your needs.
Yeah.
669
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:22,320
That needs to be said.
Yeah.
670
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:24,520
But it was at the expense
of my needs.
671
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:26,920
(LAUGHTER)
672
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,000
Anyway... Anyway...
Alright.
673
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:30,400
(BOTH LAUGH)
674
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,360
At the retreat, I had a girls' chat
675
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:36,880
and everyone's sharing
how their relationship's going
676
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,520
and I was, like, "Has anyone dated
a gym boy before?
677
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:41,560
"Like, is it true?"
678
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:44,120
And what was the feedback, Jacqui?
679
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:46,920
The feedback was that
no-one's ever heard of it before.
680
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:50,520
No-one's ever dated a guy who
saves his testosterone for the gym.
681
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:53,640
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
682
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:58,760
ALESSANDRA: I have a question
on this whole morning situation...
683
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:03,400
and your testosterone,
you know, holding onto.
684
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:11,000
Why were you not
just pleasuring her?
685
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:13,320
Um...
(LAUGHS)
686
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:14,360
I'm not sure.
687
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:16,560
Oh, dang.
688
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:18,880
In what situation, sorry?
689
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:29,720
I have a question on
this whole morning situation.
690
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:34,440
Why were you not just pleasuring her?
691
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:36,960
In what situation, sorry?
692
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:38,280
In the morning situation
693
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:42,000
that you wanted to maintain
your testosterone in your body.
694
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:46,520
You can totally do that
and still super pleasure her.
695
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:47,960
Um...
(LAUGHS)
696
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:49,960
I'm not sure.
Oh, dang.
697
00:36:51,240 --> 00:36:54,600
So, what's up with modern man?
Where did he go?
698
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:58,240
BETH AND TEEJAY: Oooh!
699
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:00,720
BETH: Alessandra!
700
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:01,800
So, are you saying
701
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:03,840
at that particular morning
that you're talking about...
702
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:08,360
Any morning that you want to
maintain your testosterone
703
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:11,840
and not be active yourself,
you can still pleasure your partner.
704
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:13,120
Yeah, for sure.
705
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:15,920
There has to be a balance
between our two sets of needs
706
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:17,040
and, like, they're not identical.
707
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:22,120
We're all making light
because it is funny.
708
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:26,040
But, yeah,
you can get really frustrated
709
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:28,200
if when you have your moment,
710
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:31,120
your partner isn't available because
of something that he's choosing
711
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:35,640
and there ways that you can come to,
you know,
712
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:38,000
both of you being satisfied.
713
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:41,080
There's no reason for her
to be not satisfied
714
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:42,920
just because you haven't been
to the gym.
715
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:45,640
Yeah, absolutely.
716
00:37:45,720 --> 00:37:47,440
And I don't want to classify that
in those terms.
717
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:52,080
I would never prioritise "gym"
over my partner's needs. Never.
718
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:57,240
It seems like you did that morning,
though.
719
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:07,480
It's not even about, like, the sex.
Like, I honestly don't care.
720
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:11,440
But, like, I feel like often
there's just no willingness
721
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:14,200
to compromise, you know.
722
00:38:14,240 --> 00:38:15,960
Which is my point.
723
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:20,120
But there has been compromise.
724
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:22,640
There has been. From both sides.
725
00:38:22,720 --> 00:38:25,880
JOHN: Ryan, do you hear yourself
when you say that?
726
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:29,720
Because it's quite telling.
727
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,640
She's saying, "I don't feel like
there's a lot of compromise."
728
00:38:35,240 --> 00:38:37,240
And you're saying
"That's simply not true."
729
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:40,800
It does confuse me a little bit
730
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:42,400
'cause she has made
a lot of comments
731
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:44,280
about "You've changed
your behaviour so much
732
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:45,920
"and now
you're the most supportive husband
733
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,640
"that you've never been before..."
and all these positive things
734
00:38:48,720 --> 00:38:50,680
and then say
I'm not compromising at all...
735
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:52,480
No, but there's different...
No, listen, listen...
736
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:55,800
'Cause if I wasn't, then there'd be
no change to our energy
737
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:57,080
and we wouldn't be in a good place,
738
00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:58,800
so I just need you to think
more carefully
739
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:00,400
when you make these statements
740
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:03,080
because then John
rightly jumped on that
741
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:05,320
and it's not 100% the case, is it?
742
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:07,520
Ryan, I'm getting uncomfortable
with how you're talking to her.
743
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:12,800
You're saying to her
"You need to think more carefully
744
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,520
"about how you bring up
these things."
745
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:20,760
You're saying, when she speaks,
"That's simply not true."
746
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:23,760
Your response is to shut her down
747
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:25,640
and talk to her
like she's a little schoolgirl.
748
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:32,760
Oh, do you think?
Yes.
749
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:34,280
You're like the school principal...
WOMAN: Yes.
750
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:35,600
..telling her off.
751
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:38,760
Oh, I'm sorry.
That wasn't my intention.
752
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:40,880
How do you go about expressing that
753
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:44,120
in a way that doesn't make me
come across as the school principal?
754
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:49,480
(JACQUI CRIES)
755
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:52,920
BETH: Wait, is she crying
or laughing? Oh...
756
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:54,520
(TEARFULLY) I don't know.
What's wrong?
757
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:02,240
(CRIES)
758
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:06,520
RYAN: What's wrong?
759
00:40:09,720 --> 00:40:11,880
I just feel like it's hopeless.
760
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:15,880
You've just, like,
never really tried.
761
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:20,160
It's not hopeless.
(CRIES) It is.
762
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:22,400
It's not, babe. It's not.
763
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:27,320
Like, I feel like I'm met
with so much, like, resistance
764
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:29,640
and it's just so hard for me
to just push through
765
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:31,560
and, like, try and, like...
766
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:33,440
I feel like I'm wading through
an ocean
767
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:34,920
where the current's
just coming back at me
768
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:35,960
with the relationship, you know.
769
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:39,880
Yeah.
770
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:42,040
I am confused and...
Yeah.
771
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:43,200
..honestly a little bit hurt.
772
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:45,160
Yeah, well, there's,
like, obviously good stuff.
773
00:40:45,240 --> 00:40:47,400
That doesn't discredit
all the, like, fun
774
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:48,960
I've been having with you.
775
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:51,480
You're right, there has been growth.
Yeah.
776
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:54,360
You're absolutely right.
Mmm.
777
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:58,120
You are a couple that has made
huge strides.
778
00:40:58,160 --> 00:40:59,440
Yep.
779
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:00,880
Is it perfect? No.
780
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:06,480
Are you both trying completely?
Yes.
781
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:09,920
You're a very different couple.
782
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:12,200
But you've gotta be more open-minded.
783
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:16,400
When people bring things up,
get curious as opposed to defensive.
784
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:22,520
What we're gonna do now
is go to the decision.
785
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:25,560
Jacqui.
786
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:28,760
For me, like,
I genuinely mean it when I say,
787
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:32,360
Ryan, I am enjoying
spending time with you.
788
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:34,240
I do still want to work
on this relationship.
789
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:35,720
I want it to be the best it can.
Lovely.
790
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:38,800
And that's why I said stay.
(LAUGHS) Yeah.
791
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:40,680
Ryan.
792
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:43,840
OK. I want to keep chatting.
793
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:45,480
I want to keep seeing where it goes.
794
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:47,200
Good.
Alright. Thank you, guys.
795
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:48,440
Well done.
Appreciate it.
796
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:50,400
Well done.
(APPLAUSE)
797
00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:57,120
Ow!
Sorry.
798
00:41:57,160 --> 00:41:59,120
You just hit her in the head.
799
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:02,080
Are you OK? Are you alright?
(LAUGHS) Yeah...
800
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:05,640
I went to put the arm up
and her head went back.
801
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:07,320
I'm so sorry. (KISSES)
802
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:09,040
(LAUGHS) Sorry, gang.
803
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:13,520
Let's get our next couple up.
804
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:20,360
Eliot and Veronica.
805
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:23,360
(APPLAUSE)
(TENSE MUSIC)
806
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:28,320
Well...
MEL: Hello.
807
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:29,840
VERONICA: How are you?
ALESSANDRA: Hello.
808
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:31,160
Well, we're doing well.
809
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:35,080
Who wants to kick it off?
810
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:43,640
We had a great retreat as a couple.
811
00:42:43,720 --> 00:42:48,160
But now I'm feeling really unsure
about my choices this week.
812
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:50,040
In what way?
813
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:53,440
I guess maybe holding back
a little bit
814
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:57,440
to what my normal communication
would look like
815
00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:02,160
in order to fit in with Eliot.
816
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:06,920
So, does that mean
at the couples' retreat...
817
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:08,240
Yes.
818
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:12,480
..that it was a filtered version
of you that Eliot saw?
819
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:18,840
Yes, I have held back
on certain areas
820
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:21,160
that are very big parts
of my personality
821
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:22,760
in my relationship with you
822
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:27,320
because I don't want to
overwhelm you
823
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:29,040
and I don't feel like
824
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:31,920
we're at that point
of comfortability with each other
825
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:36,520
and emotional openness
that it will be received well.
826
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:39,960
Are you saying that the reason
why we're getting along
827
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:43,680
is because you were changing
your personality?
828
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:46,720
Like, that to me
is a really big accusation.
829
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:50,720
It feels like from my perspective
we had a great week.
830
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:52,600
Total disconnect here.
Yeah.
831
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:57,560
Like, it's just baffling to me.
832
00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:02,280
Like, it just seems like
I'm in this experiment
833
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:04,280
with someone
that doesn't really like me.
834
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:05,320
Like...
835
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:07,120
Do you think I feel that way
as well?
836
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:11,480
I'm gonna ask you, Veronica,
to let him finish...
837
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:13,080
I apologise.
..before you go on.
838
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:19,320
It just feels like this constant,
constant uphill battle
839
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:23,920
and, like, it doesn't feel like
I can just, like, relax.
840
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:26,720
Do you feel judged?
Yeah, 100%.
841
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:31,240
Like, the other thing that came out
at the dinner party
842
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:35,200
which, you know,
kind of blindsided me
843
00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:37,840
was that when we did have
our kind of worst week
844
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:39,680
after the first dinner party,
845
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:43,440
Veronica chose to go and confide
in Lauren.
846
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:48,800
I admit now that going to Lauren
probably was not the best choice.
847
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:50,640
Why?
848
00:44:50,720 --> 00:44:55,120
Well, because she obviously has
her own motivations, opinions.
849
00:44:57,160 --> 00:45:00,920
But I understand why you would be
hurt by that and I apologise.
850
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:02,600
It's not about being hurt.
851
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:06,920
It's about me questioning, like,
what your priorities are here.
852
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:08,800
Mmm.
853
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:14,360
And if we're modifying
our personalities,
854
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:17,320
we're not truly engaging
in the experiment.
855
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:22,600
Let's sum this up.
Mmm.
856
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:28,520
That even after a good week away
as a couple at the couples' retreat,
857
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:32,440
you're basically saying
that neither one of you feel desired
858
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:34,120
or really liked by the other person.
859
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:36,240
Mmm.
860
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:37,560
That's a bit sad.
861
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:39,440
Mmm.
862
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:41,120
But I think we're gonna need to go
to the decision.
863
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:46,920
Sadly, the way that you're talking
right now about one another,
864
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:51,760
we kind of feel like
we know where this is headed.
865
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:56,000
So let's find out.
Stay or leave?
866
00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:58,200
Let's go with you first...
867
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:02,200
Veronica.
868
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:09,600
So, obviously I have made
a lot of adjustments
869
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:12,000
that I thought would be beneficial
for the relationship
870
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:14,160
and I realise that maybe
they're not.
871
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:16,680
And so...
872
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:21,560
no more moderated personality.
(LAUGHS)
873
00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:25,280
I said stay.
You're gonna stay? OK.
874
00:46:27,240 --> 00:46:29,160
Alright.
875
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:31,280
Eliot.
876
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:34,600
Yeah. I... I was definitely
in two minds.
877
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:35,760
I...
878
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:37,840
I...
879
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:41,960
have decided...
880
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:45,320
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
881
00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:47,800
..I was gonna give it another week
882
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:51,040
and then if we write stay,
we write stay,
883
00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:52,640
if we write leave, we write leave.
884
00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:58,160
Alright, I'm glad
that you've done this.
885
00:46:58,240 --> 00:47:01,440
It's completely confused me,
but I love it.
886
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:07,280
The fact that you've decided to
stay means we can deal with that.
887
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:11,040
And the way
you're gonna deal with it, Veronica,
888
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:12,840
you're gonna start by
just being yourself...
889
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:16,400
and you're gonna embrace her.
890
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:19,720
But give him a chance to do it.
891
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:21,160
You're gonna have to do
this differently.
892
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:25,080
And with that,
you can go back to the group.
893
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:27,880
(APPLAUSE)
894
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:33,760
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
895

NARRATOR: Coming up...
896
00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:42,320
I'm so sorry, I will cut you off.

..Jamie gets called out
for her behaviour
898
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:49,440
at last night's dinner party.
899
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:52,000
Mama bears don't do this
to their cubs.
900
00:47:53,720 --> 00:47:55,800
They just don't.
901
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:11,240
Our next couple up on the couch,
Rhi and Jeff.
902
00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:12,920
MAN: Hey!
(APPLAUSE)
903
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:15,560
RHI: Hello.
ALESSANDRA AND MEL: Hello.
904
00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:17,160
JEFF: Hello.
JOHN: Hey, you two.
905
00:48:17,240 --> 00:48:20,120
MEL: Welcome.
COUPLE: Thank you.
906
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:22,600
How has the week been for you two?
907
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:26,000
(LAUGHS)
It's been a big week.
908
00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:27,200
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
909
00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:30,960
Yeah, obviously, as we've heard,
there's been a lot of drama.
910
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:38,920
And, yeah, it's taken a little bit
of a toll on probably Rhi
911
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:41,120
more so than myself.
912
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:44,280
Seeing Rhi, how she's been,
you know, a bit off
913
00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:46,920
and not her normal self,
914
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:49,200
it's hard for me to see
and it actually hurts me inside.
915
00:48:49,240 --> 00:48:50,680
Yeah.
916
00:48:50,720 --> 00:48:52,240
I guess it's demonstrated to me
917
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:54,280
how much I actually
genuinely do care for Rhi.
918
00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:58,200
I want to help her as best I can
919
00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:00,480
and I really do care about
how she feels
920
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:02,840
and I do truly hate
seeing her upset.
921
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:04,680
Yeah, it just...
It did really affect me
922
00:49:04,720 --> 00:49:06,280
when I saw her like that.
923
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:12,120
Listening to you describe
your experience this week, Jeff,
924
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:14,840
and the way that you're caring
for Rhi,
925
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:19,040
it's really throwing out signs of,
926
00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:21,760
you know, this relationship's
got legs.
927
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:23,960
It's gonna go somewhere.
It definitely has legs.
928
00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:27,400
Can you see yourself falling in love
with Rhi?
929
00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:29,760
(LAUGHS) Oh, hard-hitting.
930
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:32,280
Um...
931
00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:33,960
Yeah. (LAUGHS)
932
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:35,520
Um...
933
00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:40,440
Yeah, I think I'm on the right path
to feeling that way, yeah,
934
00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:42,760
especially over the last, like,
two or three weeks, like,
935
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:44,600
the feelings are getting
a lot deeper
936
00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:46,760
and last week definitely
demonstrated that for me,
937
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:50,040
so, yeah, I'm optimistic about it.
938
00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:51,720
(LAUGHS)
939
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:54,520
ALESSANDRA: He's blushing.
MEL: Yeah.
940
00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:56,200
Why couldn't you look me in the eye
and say that?
941
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:03,000
Rhi, did you hear what he just said,
942
00:50:03,080 --> 00:50:06,600
that he does see himself
falling in love with you?
943
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:09,520
Yes, I did hear that.
And how does that feel?
944
00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:10,800
It feels very good.
(LAUGHS)
945
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:13,120
It feels very good.
946
00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:14,920
I kind of didn't know
where to look, to be honest.
947
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:16,880
I'm, like...
Yeah.
948
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:18,680
(LAUGHS)
949
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:21,000
Have you heard him say
anything like that before?
950
00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:23,880
No.
Wow.
951
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:25,520
It's pretty crazy to hear it
as well,
952
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:27,040
considering obviously
where we came from...
953
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:29,360
Yeah.
..and having dated before.
954
00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:32,480
I just thought that, you know,
we'd go through the experiment,
955
00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:35,360
figure out that we're friend-zoned
and that was it.
956
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:37,520
I didn't realise
that we would be here, right...
957
00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:39,840
like, at this point
in the experiment.
958
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:42,240
So, Rhi, what about
from your perspective?
959
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:44,200
Can you see yourself
falling in love with Jeff?
960
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:47,360
I can.
961
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:52,280
Jeff is still blushing.
I know!
962
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:55,200
I am. Oh...
(LAUGHS)
963
00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:59,680
(LAUGHS)
I've gotta say, this is really cute.
964
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:01,560
My smile is really wide
and I can't...
965
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:03,240
Yes, it is. It's a huge smile.
966
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:06,200
And we are so happy
for the two of you as well.
967
00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:08,880
I think it's time
to go to the decision.
968
00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:10,000
Perfect.
969
00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:12,720
I am writing stay.
Fabulous.
970
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:15,080
No surprises here. Stay.
971
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:16,960
There's some kisses
and hugs for you.
972
00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:18,840
Oh, thanks.
Well done, you guys.
973
00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:20,520
Thank you so much. Thanks, guys.
Awesome.
974
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:29,360
Our next couple up on the couch,
Beth and Teejay.
975
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:33,640
(APPLAUSE)
BETH: Oooh, thank you.
976
00:51:33,720 --> 00:51:35,520
TEEJAY: Hey, hey, hey.
Hello.
977
00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:38,000
How you going?
JOHN: Very good.
978
00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:39,480
MEL: Good to see you guys.
You too.
979
00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:41,480
Hello.
Where are you at?
980
00:51:41,560 --> 00:51:44,360
How are you going?
I'll start.
981
00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:47,760
He's amazing.
I feel so comfortable with him.
982
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:50,640
And we've established
a really good friendship,
983
00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:53,400
but I feel...
984
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:58,200
that Teejay's maybe
not attracted to me.
985
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:04,960
It's not really anything
that he's doing.
986
00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:09,920
I think obviously we did sleep
together a few weeks ago...
987
00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:13,600
and I think because we kind of
ripped the Band-Aid off
988
00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:16,920
and we were intimate
and then it stopped,
989
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:21,080
for me, I'm thinking,
"Oh, maybe he's not attracted to me
990
00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:22,200
"and he doesn't want to
do that again."
991
00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:26,600
I always wait for the guy
to initiate everything
992
00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:31,800
because I've got this belief
about myself
993
00:52:31,880 --> 00:52:33,320
that I won't be good enough
for someone.
994
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:38,720
I try to ignore the voice in my head
and, you know, hype myself up, like,
995
00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:40,640
"You are pretty, you are worthy,"
you know,
996
00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:42,560
and tell myself all those things
997
00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:45,080
but I think it still kind of
lives in my head a little bit.
998
00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:49,440
ALESSANDRA: Teejay, do you feel
sexual chemistry with Beth?
999
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:52,200
It does confuse me, hearing Beth say
1000
00:52:52,280 --> 00:52:53,840
that she doesn't think
that I'm attracted to her
1001
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:57,240
because I felt like
I was doing those things,
1002
00:52:57,320 --> 00:53:00,160
like, active service, affirmation...
doing all these things.
1003
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:01,280
I make it known to Beth
1004
00:53:01,360 --> 00:53:03,880
that I'm particularly
a big fan of her backside.
1005
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:04,920
(LAUGHS)
1006
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:06,480
I like smacking her on the butt
any chance I get.
1007
00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:09,520
It's one thing to admire
a beautiful woman...
1008
00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:10,560
Of course.
1009
00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:13,680
It's a very different thing to be
attracted to that beautiful woman.
1010
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:16,840
You can admire and not necessarily
want to... (EXCLAIMS) go.
1011
00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:20,200
I don't think that I would be
as touchy-feely with Beth
1012
00:53:20,240 --> 00:53:21,520
if I wasn't attracted to her.
1013
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:22,960
Like, I just wouldn't do that.
1014
00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:24,280
Why do you not just grab her
and kiss her?
1015
00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:29,240
I've taken, I guess,
a step back in that aspect
1016
00:53:29,320 --> 00:53:31,520
because I feel like
the reciprocation wasn't there,
1017
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:34,200
because I crave
a sense of being wanted.
1018
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:37,200
I want my partner to equally want me
as much as I want them.
1019
00:53:37,240 --> 00:53:38,520
And I hope that it's aware to you
1020
00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:40,320
that I definitely am attracted
to you as well too...
1021
00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:43,200
OK.
..by the things that I do.
1022
00:53:43,240 --> 00:53:45,240
I do not know a single human
1023
00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:47,360
who doesn't want to feel desired
by their partner.
1024
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:53,400
It is important, Beth,
that you are able to let Teejay know
1025
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:56,000
about how desirable you find him.
1026
00:53:56,080 --> 00:53:59,440
Don't make it a bigger deal
than it needs to be,
1027
00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:01,400
if it's just confusion
and communication.
1028
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:02,880
Yeah.
1029
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:05,960
I think it's time for the decision.
1030
00:54:07,560 --> 00:54:09,520
I'm staying.
MEL: Staying.
1031
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:11,160
With a smiley face
and a little kiss.
1032
00:54:11,240 --> 00:54:13,720
I'm not done with you yet, love.
(BOTH LAUGH)
1033
00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:17,760
Yeah, it was an easy stay for me.
Yay.
1034
00:54:17,840 --> 00:54:20,200
Just to see where the connection
can take us as well.
1035
00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:21,760
Great.
Thanks guys.
1036
00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:23,320
Thank you so much.
1037
00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:24,280
(APPLAUSE)
Great.
1038
00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:25,920
Thank you.
1039
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:28,960
As I say, S is for staying
and sexy time.
1040
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:30,640
JEFF: Just keep it down tonight.
1041
00:54:30,720 --> 00:54:33,360
We'll put a sock on the door knob
or something. (LAUGHS)
1042
00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:36,480
Our next couple up on the couch...
1043
00:54:38,440 --> 00:54:39,480
Carina and Paul.
1044
00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:41,360
(APPLAUSE)
1045
00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:49,080
So, we're gonna go
straight to last night.
1046
00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:55,400
Carina, we certainly observed
quite a level of tension
1047
00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:57,080
between yourself and Jamie
1048
00:54:57,160 --> 00:55:00,480
based on your differing opinions
about Clint and Lauren.
1049
00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:03,520
CARINA: Mm-hm.
What was going on for you?
1050
00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:08,800
Somehow, I've been caught
and brought into
1051
00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:11,600
the crazy drama that's happening.
1052
00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:15,280
(TENSE MUSIC)
1053
00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:19,960
The behaviour that I saw
1054
00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:23,520
at the girls' night
was something I don't stand for,
1055
00:55:23,600 --> 00:55:30,360
from both ends, but it was like
a mean girls 2.0 environment.
1056
00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:35,880
It was like one girl
against a few girls.
1057
00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:38,920
I don't stand by
that behaviour.
1058
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:42,360
You're still suggesting
that I'm a mean girl?
1059
00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:45,160
I didn't specifically say
that you're a mean girl.
1060
00:55:45,240 --> 00:55:47,680
The environment was
a mean-girl environment, Jamie.
1061
00:55:47,720 --> 00:55:49,840
Oh, good lord!
1062
00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:51,880
Make sense of this, 'cause I can't.
1063
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:53,320
It's actually frustrating
speaking to you.
1064
00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:56,280
You keep on doubling down
and insulting me.
1065
00:55:56,360 --> 00:55:58,400
But I don't understand
how she's insulting you, though.
1066
00:55:58,480 --> 00:56:00,880
The only reason
I was in confrontation
1067
00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:03,720
is because your mate made comments
1068
00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:05,520
saying "I don't care
about your opinion."
1069
00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:07,240
She's going,
"I'm so bored of this."
1070
00:56:07,320 --> 00:56:09,920
Why am I getting involved in that?
I'm not...
1071
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:10,800
And I defend all that.
1072
00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:13,520
I defended you and your husband
who are in this experiment.
1073
00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:15,760
When? When? Jamie, when?
1074
00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:19,080
I can't... I actually can't be
a part of this.
1075
00:56:19,160 --> 00:56:23,200
I really can't, I promise you.
It's so frustrating.

I really can't, I promise you.
It's so frustrating.
1081
00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:49,000
I'm friends with everyone,
so for some reason,
1082
00:56:49,080 --> 00:56:54,040
because I didn't agree with how some
of the girls reacted towards Lauren,
1083
00:56:54,120 --> 00:56:59,800
I'm now getting accused
or I'm not a good friend to Jamie.
1084
00:56:59,840 --> 00:57:02,800
Whew. Jesus Christ.
1085
00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:05,440
I'm sorry that I offended you
and hurt you,
1086
00:57:05,520 --> 00:57:08,440
but I don't want this animosity
between anyone.
1087
00:57:08,520 --> 00:57:12,560
I'm trying to make everyone
be friends. That's it.
1088

(SIGHS)
MEL: OK.
1089
00:57:20,040 --> 00:57:22,040
You found yourself in a situation
1090
00:57:22,120 --> 00:57:24,840
where you had offered support
to Lauren...
1091
00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:26,000
Yeah.
1092
00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:27,480
..and the group's
turning against you.
1093
00:57:27,560 --> 00:57:30,360
Mm-hm.
What was that like for you?
1094
00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:33,080
It was hard.
1095
00:57:33,160 --> 00:57:35,080
It was really tough
because I didn't want it...
1096
00:57:35,160 --> 00:57:37,320
I didn't want it
to turn out that way.
1097
00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:40,640
I just felt like everything was
completely blown out of proportion
1098
00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:45,440
and somehow I got involved
for trying to mend everything.
1099
00:57:46,920 --> 00:57:48,400
I'm coming from a good place.
1100
00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:50,400
I'm not the one
throwing words out there.
1101
00:57:52,120 --> 00:57:57,680
And last night, I felt like I...
I was, like, cornered...
1102
00:57:57,720 --> 00:57:58,880
Yeah.
1103
00:57:58,960 --> 00:58:01,320
..and it was
a very uncomfortable feeling
1104
00:58:01,360 --> 00:58:02,760
and I did not want to be there.
1105
00:58:05,160 --> 00:58:10,080
I felt really, like, sad
and I felt uncomfortable.
1106
00:58:10,120 --> 00:58:15,840
And I felt, like, less worthy.
1107
00:58:15,880 --> 00:58:17,240
Mmm.
1108
00:58:18,440 --> 00:58:19,680
Less worthy.
1109
00:58:19,720 --> 00:58:22,680
(HALF-LAUGHS) Yeah.
1110
00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:29,720
And I'm not intelligent enough,
to say the least...
1111
00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:31,720
PAUL: No, don't say that.
1112
00:58:35,120 --> 00:58:39,320
Last night at the dinner party, did
you feel like your voice was heard?
1113
00:58:40,960 --> 00:58:42,320
Not really.
1114
00:58:42,360 --> 00:58:44,440
I tried to express my feelings
1115
00:58:44,520 --> 00:58:50,400
and I felt like my feelings
are invalid or they're dumbed down
1116
00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:53,720
and I don't feel confident
in that environment
1117
00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:57,320
because maybe I express
my words differently
1118
00:58:57,360 --> 00:58:58,880
to some of the other girls,
1119
00:58:58,960 --> 00:59:01,800
maybe I'm not as quick to the mark
as some of the other girls are,
1120
00:59:01,880 --> 00:59:04,480
maybe I take time to digest
how I feel
1121
00:59:04,560 --> 00:59:07,640
and then I make the executive
decision to open my mouth.
1122
00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:14,280
Carina, I'm noticing in your voice
that this is really upsetting you.
1123
00:59:16,200 --> 00:59:18,440
It's not a nice feeling.
(HALF-LAUGHS) It's not.
1124
00:59:18,480 --> 00:59:20,400
Why is it so distressing?
1125
00:59:20,440 --> 00:59:22,640
Because I guess...
1126
00:59:22,720 --> 00:59:25,720
Yeah, I don't know, like,
growing up,
1127
00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:27,960
I'm a baby of five,
1128
00:59:28,040 --> 00:59:31,760
so it was hard
to get your voice across
1129
00:59:31,840 --> 00:59:36,240
and, you know,
that's just how it goes
1130
00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:38,360
and how it went, so, yeah,
1131
00:59:38,440 --> 00:59:42,000
it's kind of like bringing back
a little bit of trauma,
1132
00:59:42,080 --> 00:59:44,400
so I just want to, like,
abort the situation.
1133
00:59:44,480 --> 00:59:48,080
And that's why I think
I try and preach, like,
1134
00:59:48,160 --> 00:59:51,680
what you give is what you'll get
in return
1135
00:59:51,720 --> 00:59:53,440
and just being kind to everyone
1136
00:59:53,520 --> 00:59:55,680
or if you have nothing nice to say,
don't say it at all.
1137
00:59:57,880 --> 01:00:03,480
I did not sleep last night
and I kept thinking about Jamie
1138
01:00:03,520 --> 01:00:05,360
and I kept thinking about everyone
1139
01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:08,240
and I was racking my brain
1140
01:00:08,320 --> 01:00:11,400
as to how, like...
how did it get to this point,
1141
01:00:11,480 --> 01:00:14,600
because I don't think that's how
friends act towards one another,
1142
01:00:14,640 --> 01:00:16,000
if we're friends.
1143
01:00:17,120 --> 01:00:22,400
And I wish I could change it
but, yeah, I don't know how.
1144
01:00:22,440 --> 01:00:24,400
Mmm.
1145

well done.

Thank you.
1148
01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:45,560
Because it is difficult to
stand up against the group,
1149
01:00:45,640 --> 01:00:48,880
to go against the grain
and you did that.
1150
01:00:48,920 --> 01:00:51,560
So, well done. That took courage.
1151
01:00:55,560 --> 01:00:56,720
Thank you.
1152

It's great that you've got that
support here in Paul.
1153
01:00:59,200 --> 01:01:00,240
Yeah.
I can see that.
1154
01:01:00,320 --> 01:01:03,000
Yeah, I'm very lucky
because last night I was, like,
1155
01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:05,160
I just want to koala-bear him
in bed...
1156
01:01:05,200 --> 01:01:06,360
Mm-hm.
1157
01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:08,600
..and I wrap myself around him
like a little kid.
1158
01:01:08,680 --> 01:01:11,280

Seeing Carina

and, like, literally hearing
the thing that she just said,
1161
01:01:14,600 --> 01:01:16,520
that makes me feel extremely sad,
1162
01:01:16,600 --> 01:01:18,680
but sometimes things happen
for a reason
1163
01:01:18,760 --> 01:01:22,880
and it just make me, you know,
appreciate her even more.

to the decision now.

01:01:55,080 --> 01:01:57,920
Yes, well... I'm, like,
did you copy me?
1179
01:01:58,000 --> 01:01:59,240
(BOTH LAUGH)
Oooh!
1180
01:01:59,320 --> 01:02:01,560
(OTHERS EXCLAIM)
Two hearts.
1181
01:02:01,600 --> 01:02:03,280
Love it.
1182
01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:04,560
JOHN: Have a great week.
Thank you.
1183
01:02:04,640 --> 01:02:05,720
(APPLAUSE)
Thank you.
1184
01:02:12,840 --> 01:02:17,760
Our last couple up on the couch,
Jamie and Dave.
1185
01:02:17,800 --> 01:02:21,920
(APPLAUSE)
1186
01:02:23,120 --> 01:02:25,240
Hello, you two.
DAVE: Hey, guys.
1187
01:02:25,280 --> 01:02:28,120
Oh, I know I'm in trouble.
1188
01:02:28,160 --> 01:02:29,640
Why do you say that?
1189
01:02:29,720 --> 01:02:32,560
Because I know... I know how
I conducted myself last night.
1190
01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:35,360
So, take us there, then,
to last night.
1191
01:02:35,400 --> 01:02:38,680
What was it that took you
1192
01:02:38,760 --> 01:02:41,640
into this completely different
version of Jamie?
1193
01:02:43,560 --> 01:02:46,840
Like, so, obviously,
after girls' night,
1194
01:02:46,920 --> 01:02:51,080
there was, like, a clear, like,
issue that we had with Lauren
1195
01:02:51,160 --> 01:02:54,680
the night that I got into
that garden party argument.
1196
01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:57,200
It felt like no-one
was speaking up for me
1197
01:02:57,240 --> 01:02:58,520
when I've always had people's backs
1198
01:02:58,600 --> 01:03:01,960
and I feel like I have defended
so many people
1199
01:03:02,040 --> 01:03:05,720
and in that moment,
I felt so much pain.
1200
01:03:05,800 --> 01:03:12,120
Lauren sat there, smug, going,
"Where are your mates?"
1201
01:03:12,160 --> 01:03:14,120
And that killed me.
1202
01:03:14,200 --> 01:03:19,040
So, Lauren shamed you?
Humiliated you?
1203
01:03:19,080 --> 01:03:21,400
I felt very humiliated.
1204
01:03:21,480 --> 01:03:25,040
Like, I don't remember the last time
I felt pain like that, to be honest.
1205
01:03:25,120 --> 01:03:29,960
I know I'm strong
but, like, I'm very sensitive
1206
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:31,840
and my heart is very big
1207
01:03:31,920 --> 01:03:35,240
and unfortunately, like,
when I feel that kind of pain
1208
01:03:35,320 --> 01:03:38,680
that I never want to feel,
I come out swinging.
1209
01:03:38,720 --> 01:03:40,120
Yeah.
1210
01:03:40,200 --> 01:03:44,000
I'm someone that you've probably
seen time and time again,
1211
01:03:44,040 --> 01:03:46,400
I defend the cub.
1212
01:03:46,480 --> 01:03:51,040
I'm, like, a mother bear
with her cubs.
1213
01:03:53,040 --> 01:03:55,520
I'm very protective
over the people around me.
1214
01:03:58,400 --> 01:04:02,400
I just... I don't know, I've just
naturally taken this role.
1215
01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:06,080
It's like a part of, I guess, like,
my personal values.
1216
01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:10,600
Like, you know, I see bad behaviour
and I call it out.
1217
01:04:10,680 --> 01:04:15,920
ALESSANDRA: I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry, I will cut you off.
1218
01:04:18,320 --> 01:04:20,560
Mama bears don't do this to
their cubs.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
1220
01:04:26,120 --> 01:04:27,520
They just don't.
1221
01:04:39,360 --> 01:04:43,040
JAMIE: I see bad behaviour
and I call it out.
1222
01:04:43,120 --> 01:04:47,880
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry,
I will cut you off.
1223
01:04:50,320 --> 01:04:52,960
Mama bears
don't do this to their cubs.

(TENSE MUSIC)
1225
01:04:56,160 --> 01:04:58,760
They just don't.
1226
01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:03,800
So the self-description of mama bear
as an excuse...
1227
01:05:05,480 --> 01:05:07,040
not flying.
1228
01:05:08,200 --> 01:05:10,000
If what happened at the retreat
1229
01:05:10,080 --> 01:05:15,800
was anywhere near the vicinity
of what we saw last night,
1230
01:05:15,880 --> 01:05:21,720
I can certainly see how your friends
were intimidated by you
1231
01:05:21,760 --> 01:05:24,960
and did not want to step in.
1232
01:05:25,040 --> 01:05:27,800
You know, there's a saying
in Spanish...
1233
01:05:27,840 --> 01:05:29,920
(SPEAKS SPANISH)
1234
01:05:32,720 --> 01:05:39,240
What that means is the road to hell
is paved by good intentions.
1235
01:05:39,320 --> 01:05:43,880
I don't doubt your good intentions,
Jamie. I really don't.
1236
01:05:43,960 --> 01:05:47,160
But people need to be able to have
differing opinions.
1237
01:05:47,200 --> 01:05:48,480
They need to be able to be heard,
1238
01:05:48,560 --> 01:05:51,800
they need to be able to not feel
drowned out and shut up.
1239
01:05:54,480 --> 01:05:57,920
It is interesting
in the entire situation
1240
01:05:58,000 --> 01:06:03,560
that the woman who was
originally hurtful, Lauren,
1241
01:06:03,640 --> 01:06:07,440
clearly didn't end up being the
person most hurt in this situation.
1242
01:06:12,040 --> 01:06:14,160
And she's not even here in the room.
1243
01:06:16,600 --> 01:06:18,720
She wasn't here last night
1244
01:06:18,800 --> 01:06:20,320
when everybody
was chewing each other out.
1245
01:06:22,640 --> 01:06:25,680
Seems almost like her goal
was achieved.

(TENSE MUSIC)
1247
01:06:27,400 --> 01:06:29,720
She won.
1248
01:06:32,160 --> 01:06:34,680
She came out on top, no?
MEL: Mmm.
1249
01:06:39,040 --> 01:06:41,120
How do you feel at this moment
1250
01:06:41,200 --> 01:06:44,000
about everything
that's been said here tonight
1251
01:06:44,080 --> 01:06:46,840
about your behaviour
and your choices?
1252
01:06:48,240 --> 01:06:52,560
I think it's just, like,
now I'm feeling embarrassed.
1253
01:06:54,280 --> 01:06:55,920
Like, ashamed.
1254
01:06:55,960 --> 01:07:00,760
I feel like I've let Dave down...
1255
01:07:03,400 --> 01:07:05,160
like I've let myself down.
1256
01:07:05,240 --> 01:07:07,040
I was on, like,
such a good trajectory.
1257
01:07:07,120 --> 01:07:12,360
Like, essentially, I'm calling out
bad behaviour
1258
01:07:12,440 --> 01:07:14,880
and then I took it
and multiplied it by 1,000.
1259
01:07:14,960 --> 01:07:18,600
It's like, well, if you can be that,
I can do it better, essentially.
1260
01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:27,640
And because I just couldn't process
the hurt in a healthy way,
1261
01:07:27,720 --> 01:07:31,560
it came out in a really nasty way
towards other people.
1262
01:07:35,440 --> 01:07:38,480
Carina, especially.
1263
01:07:39,680 --> 01:07:42,080
I said...
1264
01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:49,040
The things I did say to you
were completely unacceptable
1265
01:07:49,080 --> 01:07:50,240
and I know that.
1266
01:07:50,280 --> 01:07:53,040
My behaviour was unacceptable.
1267
01:07:54,720 --> 01:07:57,000
1,000%.
1268
01:07:57,040 --> 01:08:01,720
I'm sorry how I spoke to you,
1269
01:08:01,760 --> 01:08:04,680
conducted myself, my aggression,
1270
01:08:04,760 --> 01:08:07,680
just everything,
the comments, the demeanour.
1271
01:08:07,760 --> 01:08:12,280
And I'm sorry I made you feel
stupid, less than,
1272
01:08:12,360 --> 01:08:16,200
unimportant or small
or you wanted to remove yourself.
1273
01:08:19,200 --> 01:08:21,520
That is... That is my behaviour
that was wrong.
1274
01:08:21,560 --> 01:08:22,680
And I'm sorry.
1275
01:08:22,720 --> 01:08:24,440
Thank you, Jamie.
1276
01:08:32,280 --> 01:08:36,000
I really appreciate
that apology to Carina.
1277
01:08:36,040 --> 01:08:37,880
I'm in the wrong.
1278
01:08:37,920 --> 01:08:39,520
Like, I'm in the wrong
1279
01:08:39,600 --> 01:08:43,080
and as much as I wanted
to walk out last night,
1280
01:08:43,120 --> 01:08:44,960
like, you know, big ego...
1281
01:08:45,040 --> 01:08:47,080
And that's the thing,
unfortunately -
1282
01:08:47,160 --> 01:08:51,200
like, my hurt does put me in
a corner where I come out swinging.
1283
01:08:53,560 --> 01:08:55,440
I've been hurt so many times
1284
01:08:55,520 --> 01:08:58,800
that my natural response
is to come forward with aggression
1285
01:08:58,880 --> 01:09:03,640
and protect myself and hurt someone
as much as I can that's hurt me.
1286
01:09:03,680 --> 01:09:05,200
And it's wrong.
1287
01:09:05,280 --> 01:09:08,080
And it's something
I haven't had to do in years
1288
01:09:08,160 --> 01:09:11,880
and, like, the fact
that I'm even in this place...
1289
01:09:13,840 --> 01:09:16,560
is just really disappointing.
1290
01:09:17,840 --> 01:09:21,960
Lauren said
some really, really horrible things.
1291
01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:25,160
That is not lost on me.
1292
01:09:25,240 --> 01:09:28,440
It's not lost on any of us.
Of course. It's not.
1293
01:09:28,520 --> 01:09:33,640
I do understand and also like many
people in the group,
1294
01:09:33,720 --> 01:09:36,600
do not agree with the things
that Lauren was saying.
1295
01:09:36,680 --> 01:09:39,520
I understand how that can get under
someone's skin.
1296
01:09:39,600 --> 01:09:44,320
I understand how offended many of you
must have felt.
1297
01:09:44,360 --> 01:09:48,920
Of course, that is understandable.
1298
01:09:48,960 --> 01:09:52,760
She was conducting herself horribly.
1299
01:09:54,160 --> 01:09:57,400
But when you see somebody
conduct themselves horribly
1300
01:09:57,480 --> 01:10:01,160
and are impacted by
that horrible behaviour,
1301
01:10:01,240 --> 01:10:05,880
perhaps emulating that
and bringing it to the nth degree
1302
01:10:05,920 --> 01:10:07,360
is not the way to go.
1303
01:10:11,320 --> 01:10:15,240
In that fight, simply because of
the way that you were doing things,
1304
01:10:15,280 --> 01:10:18,200
the point is missed.
1305
01:10:19,960 --> 01:10:21,400
You never win.
1306
01:10:24,240 --> 01:10:26,560
You become worse
than the perpetrator.
1307
01:10:35,720 --> 01:10:40,080
Jamie, when it comes to
your relationship with Dave...
1308
01:10:41,840 --> 01:10:44,640
and I guess the experiences
that you've had this week
1309
01:10:44,680 --> 01:10:46,640
which have been very intense...
1310
01:10:49,120 --> 01:10:51,680
how are you feeling at the moment?
1311
01:10:51,760 --> 01:10:55,440
Well, even though this has, like,
been a really tough couch session,
1312
01:10:55,520 --> 01:10:58,640
I still have loved this experiment
with him.
1313
01:10:58,680 --> 01:11:00,840
And not to sound cliched
1314
01:11:00,920 --> 01:11:04,040
but, like, the retreat
has brought us closer together,
1315
01:11:04,080 --> 01:11:06,360
because you saw me with so much hurt
1316
01:11:06,400 --> 01:11:11,040
and your instinct was to protect me
1317
01:11:11,120 --> 01:11:14,040
and I appreciate everything
you've done for me
1318
01:11:14,080 --> 01:11:15,880
and the support I've received.
1319
01:11:15,960 --> 01:11:18,520
So I think,
for the first time in my life,
1320
01:11:18,560 --> 01:11:20,920
I just get to feel the good feels
1321
01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:25,240
and keep on experiencing
all this amazing joy that we have
1322
01:11:25,320 --> 01:11:27,880
within our little home
and within this experiment.
1323
01:11:27,960 --> 01:11:30,760
Like, we truly are having
the best experiment.
1324
01:11:32,640 --> 01:11:37,800
And so, I kind of saw
an opportunity...
1325
01:11:40,280 --> 01:11:42,720
I covered his mouth and I said,
"I'm gonna say something"
1326
01:11:42,800 --> 01:11:44,000
"and I don't want you
to say anything..."
1327
01:11:47,000 --> 01:11:49,520
and I said "I love you.
Like, I really love you.
1328
01:11:51,160 --> 01:11:53,200
"Now, goodnight."
And I told him to go to bed.
1329
01:11:54,640 --> 01:11:56,000
That's very big.
1330
01:11:57,880 --> 01:12:00,160
I was trying to keep it
buried inside me.
1331
01:12:02,080 --> 01:12:04,160
But I'm not gonna suppress
how I feel.
1332
01:12:17,880 --> 01:12:19,720
So, you haven't said it back?
1333
01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:25,320
No.
1334
01:12:27,320 --> 01:12:30,640
Do you feel that's a place
where you can see yourself landing?
1335
01:12:30,720 --> 01:12:35,400
I mean, this experiment, like,
we've really done it properly.
1336
01:12:35,480 --> 01:12:40,360
Like, we have. And I don't think
you can do this...
1337
01:12:40,440 --> 01:12:42,800
you can do this properly
and not fall in love.
1338
01:12:48,240 --> 01:12:49,840
Um...
1339
01:12:49,880 --> 01:12:51,880
I want to own my feelings...
1340
01:12:53,640 --> 01:12:58,240
and I'm...
I am in tune with his emotions.
1341
01:12:58,280 --> 01:13:00,480
I understand what's going on here.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
1343
01:13:05,600 --> 01:13:10,880
And so, he gives me enough assurance
and security
1344
01:13:10,960 --> 01:13:15,600
where I know that
that is within him
1345
01:13:15,640 --> 01:13:17,800
and it is gonna come to the surface,
1346
01:13:17,880 --> 01:13:19,840
but I'm also patient
and understanding.
1347
01:13:21,760 --> 01:13:24,760
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
1348
01:13:38,200 --> 01:13:40,160
I think we're gonna go
to the decision.
1349
01:13:43,760 --> 01:13:46,960
I'm so pleased. (LAUGHS)
I want to get off this couch.
1350
01:13:47,000 --> 01:13:48,800
Let's see.
1351
01:13:48,840 --> 01:13:52,760
(TENSE MUSIC)
1352
01:13:55,360 --> 01:13:56,760
Yeah, I'm staying.
1353
01:13:58,800 --> 01:14:02,240
I also have decided to stay,
which may come as a shock.
1354
01:14:02,280 --> 01:14:04,320
Um...
1355
01:14:04,360 --> 01:14:05,760
So, yeah.
1356
01:14:05,840 --> 01:14:08,400
Have a great week.
Thank you, guys.
1357
01:14:08,480 --> 01:14:09,920
You can go back to the group.
Thank you.
1358
01:14:09,960 --> 01:14:12,800
(APPLAUSE)
1359
01:14:12,840 --> 01:14:15,840
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
1360
01:14:32,480 --> 01:14:34,800
NARRATOR: Tomorrow night...
(KNOCKING)
1361
01:14:34,880 --> 01:14:37,840
Oh, my god.
What?
1362
01:14:38,720 --> 01:14:41,800
Are you... Are you lying?
What's happening?
1363
01:14:41,880 --> 01:14:45,720
..the experiment enters
a critical new phase.
1364
01:14:45,760 --> 01:14:47,480
We have decided to bring back
1365
01:14:47,560 --> 01:14:50,840
a polarising element
of feedback week.
1366
01:14:50,880 --> 01:14:52,360
The partner swap.
1367
01:14:52,440 --> 01:14:57,360
Over two big nights, feedback week
will see temporary new pairings...
1368
01:14:57,400 --> 01:14:58,520
Honey, I'm home.
1369
01:14:58,600 --> 01:15:01,400
RHI: "Jacqui will pack her bags
and move in with Jeff."
1370
01:15:01,480 --> 01:15:05,160
TEEJAY: "Beth will pack her bags
and move in with Ryan."
1371
01:15:05,240 --> 01:15:08,480
..as these new combinations
offer fresh perspective.
1372
01:15:08,560 --> 01:15:11,800
ELIOT: Rhi and Jeff, I see them
as kind of a model couple.
1373
01:15:11,880 --> 01:15:13,440
Maybe there's something
I can learn from this.
1374
01:15:13,520 --> 01:15:16,800
While some embrace feedback
week and the partner swap...
1375
01:15:16,840 --> 01:15:18,680
That's really constructive.
1376
01:15:18,760 --> 01:15:23,600
"Do you honestly think Dave and I
will last beyond this experiment?"
1377
01:15:23,640 --> 01:15:24,720
No.
1378
01:15:26,480 --> 01:15:29,640
..others will be put
to the ultimate test.
1379
01:15:29,720 --> 01:15:31,840
CARINA: I don't want to be
doing this.
1380
01:15:31,920 --> 01:15:35,560
What threatens to derail
Paul's marriage to Carina?
1381
01:15:35,640 --> 01:15:38,160
Wow.
That is so wrong!
1382
01:15:41,400 --> 01:15:43,360
PAUL: I'm quite scared
of how she's gonna react.
1383
01:15:47,440 --> 01:15:50,400
