All language subtitles for Married at First Sight (AU) - S12E26 - Episode 26.en

WOMAN: Previously...

You talk as though
you're above them.

..the experts delivered
some hard truths

at the Commitment Ceremony...

That's your problem.

..as Lauren and Clint

chose to leave the experiment.

MAN: I'm actually pretty embarrassed
for you.

Can you see yourself falling in love
with Rhi?

Yeah.

Love and happiness
were on full display...

Can you see yourself falling in love
with Jeff?

I can.

..as relationships continued

their positive progress.

I'm happy, you know.
We're in a great place right now.

I'm also staying.

ALESSANDRA: That's an enthusiastic,
big 'stay'.

We love it.

I defended you and your husband.

When? When?

Alessandra called out
Jamie's fight style.

I'm like a mother bear.

Mama bears don't do this
to their cubs.

When you somebody
conduct themselves horribly,

emulating that, you become worse
than the perpetrator.

And thanks to
the experts' intervention,

a friendship was rekindled...

How I spoke to you,

conducted myself,

that was wrong, and I'm sorry.

Thank you, Jamie.

..before Jamie's bold declaration
to Dave.

I said, "I love you.
Like, I really love you."

OK, so you haven't said it back.

(PENSIVE MUSIC)

No.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Tonight...

(KNOCK AT DOOR)

Oh, my gosh.

What?!
(LAUGHS)

Are you lying?

What's happening?

..the experiment enters
a critical new phase.

We have decided to bring back
a polarising element

of Feedback Week,

the partner swap.

Over two big nights,

Feedback Week will see
temporary new pairings...

Honey, I'm home.

RHI: 'Jacqui will pack her bags
and move in with Jeff.'

TEEJAY: 'Beth will pack her bags
and move in with Ryan'. (LAUGHS)

..as these new combinations
offer fresh perspective.

ELIOT: Rhi and Jeff - I see them
as a kind of model couple.

Maybe there's
something I can learn from this.

While some embrace Feedback Week
and the partner swap...

That's really constructive.

Do you honestly think Dave and I
will last beyond this experiment?

No.

..others will be put to
the ultimate test.

I don't wanna be doing this.

What threatens to derail
Paul's marriage to Carina?

Yeah.
Wow. That is so wrong.

I'm quite of how she's gonna react.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

(JAUNTY MUSIC)

It's the morning after
the fifth Commitment Ceremony,

and everyone is still processing

Lauren and Clint's
confrontational couch session...

..which saw them face off
with the group...

I do feel like the behaviour
at dinner parties,

which is usually led by
the four of you in the corner there,

is boganic behaviour.

..and resulted
in the couple's abrupt exit

from the experiment.

JOHN: 'Leaving the zoo.'

And another barb.

I just feel like
she still couldn't see

what was wrong with her behaviour.
TEEJAY: Yeah.

She didn't have a spark
with her husband,

she didn't care about
anyone's opinion,

She couldn't learn anything
from the environment,

and I'm really glad she's left,

because she caused a rift
amongst all my friends.

And the rift Lauren
created at the retreat

came to a head last night
during Carina's couch session.

The behaviour that I saw
at the girls' night,

it was like
a 'Mean Girls' 2.0 environment.

JAMIE: You're still suggesting
that I'm a mean girl.

I defended you and your husband.

And, in front of the experts,

Jamie doubled down on her defence.

I defend the cubs.

I'm like a mother bear.

ALESSANDRA: Mama bears
don't do this to their cubs.

Your friends
were intimidated by you.

And Alessandra's stern words
helped Jamie to see the light.

Carina, that is my behaviour
that was wrong, and I'm sorry.

Thank you, Jamie.

(THOUGHTFUL MUSIC)

I could see on your face
that you're feeling a lot better.

Like, yeah, it's good. I'm glad.

Yeah, I feel like a massive weight
has just lifted off my shoulders.

Yeah.

At the end of the day, like,
I am here for you

and our relationship.
Yeah, exactly.

So it feels so much lighter already
between you and me,

knowing that that's sorted.
Yeah.

And it means so much to me...
Yeah.

..that you were
literally by my side.

And that's all I could hope for.

Paul and I just got through
a really tough time,

so now I'm feeling very energised.

I'm feeling really good
in my relationship with Paul.

I feel like we are so connected

and we are on the same page,

like we were at the very beginning,

and we, yeah,
couldn't be any better.

While Carina and Paul are ready
to look ahead...

(JAMIE SIGHS)

..Jamie remains remorseful.

I took the retreat
as, like, an opportunity

to just release

and say nasty things
and hurt people with my words.

I was aggressive,
like, all these things,

like,
that I personally don't agree with.

But, like,
I'm really trying to remind myself

that that's not who I am.

DAVE: You are a good person,

and you do have a good heart.

And I know that,
because I know who you are.

(GENTLE MUSIC)

Thank you.

The only silver lining
in this is Dave and I -

we've come closer together.

He was like, you know,
just reassuring me,

and he comforted me the whole time.

It was the couple's strong bond

that prompted Jamie
to reveal her true feelings.

Yeah, I covered his mouth.

I said, "I'm gonna say something,

"and I don't want you
to say anything."

And I said, "I love you.
Like, I really love you.

"Now goodnight,"
and I told him to go to bed.

OK, so you haven't said it back.

No.

I obviously have stronger feelings
for Dave than he has for me.

I've said I loved him,
and he hasn't.

But I do think
he's got real feelings,

and we are talking a life beyond
this experiment.

Just because he's not
right where I am right now

doesn't mean he's not on his path
to get there.

Jamie saying that she loves me
six weeks in here

sort of caught me by surprise.

I'm not there yet
with the love side.

I normally take a lot longer to...
to say those words.

Jamie wasn't the only one
to confess her love last night.

Our couch session was a bit cute.

(LAUGHS) It was a bit cute.
Wasn't it?

Can you see yourself falling in love
with Rhi?

(LAUGHS) Real hard-hitting.

Um...

Yeah. (LAUGHS)

Yeah.

So, Rhi,
what about from your perspective?

Can you see yourself
falling in love with Jeff?

I can.

I'm glad that happened,
because, you know,

we haven't even talked about that
ourselves, and...

..you know, I think without
Mel sort of drawing that out...

Yeah.
It wouldn't have probably...

It probably wouldn't have
come out of my mouth otherwise.

(LAUGHS)

You know, Mel brought
that out of Rhi last night,

and I didn't have to do it,
so it made my job pretty easy.

I'm blushing again.

(CHUCKLES)

You know, I don't wanna
get too far into the future,

but if it is like it is now,
then it's gonna be awesome.

Ah! (GRUNTS)

(BOTH LAUGH)

Mwah.

(UPLIFTING MUSIC)

This morning marks a major milestone
for our couples...

..as they embark on
one of the most important phases

of the experiment...

..Feedback Week.

And this year, our couples
are in for a major surprise.

It just... It just...
(KNOCK AT DOOR)

Oh. (LAUGHS)

Baby, go get it.

(LAUGHS) Yay!
Haven't heard a knock for a while.

I know.

Oh, my gosh.

Don't read it in your head.
Read it out loud.

Ooh.

What?
(LAUGHS)

No, what's happening?

'Carina and Paul, as the experiment
enters its final weeks...'

'..may be contemplating
whether your bond with your partner

'is strong enough to withstand
life away from the experiment.'

'Sometimes the best perspective
is an outsider's point of view'.

We have decided to bring back
a polarising element

of Feedback Week,

the partner swap.

'For the next three days,

'Veronica will pack her bags
and move in with Dave...'

What?

'..while Rhi will move into
your apartment with Eliot.' (LAUGHS)

This is not about trading partners.

That's crazy.

This is designed to give
a fresh perspective

to the relationship.

TEEJAY: 'Beth will pack her bags
and move in with Ryan...' (LAUGHS)

Are you joking?

'..while Carina will move into
your apartment with Teejay.'

(LAUGHS)

Are you... Are you lying?
(LAUGHS) That's...

What the hell am I gonna learn
from Ryan?

His relationship's a shitshow.
What's he gonna do,

tell me to stop speaking
and silence me?

I don't think so, mate.

If he does serve you up
a large serving of bullshit...

..you can bite your lip.

I will absolutely not be
biting my lip with Ryan.

'For the next three days,

'Jacqui will pack her bags
and move in with Jeff

'while Beth will move into
your apartment with Ryan.'

(LAUGHS)

(COUGHS AND LAUGHS)

You got Beth.
Good lord.

She's gonna be such a nightmare
for you.

No!

So, Beth's gonna be telling you
what to work on.

You've gotta tell Beth
what to work on.

I'm not seeing Beth
help any relationship so far.

She's kind of, like,
just been explosive or vulgar.

And if she's asking about
our relationship,

it's gonna be, you know,
sunshine and rainbows

as far as she's concerned.
(CHUCKLES)

Thankfully, it's gonna be easy,

because Jacqui and I are in
a really good spot.

How are you gonna go with Jeff?

I don't wanna go into their room.
It's apparently...

Well, it's a studio.

I've been in it before. It's tiny.

So that's your biggest issue -
is the size of the room?

Well, I'm a bit worried about Rhi.

She thinks, yeah...

Oh, can you imagine
her reading the letter now?

She will be freaking out.

They'll be having a conversation now
about it, like... (GASPS)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

'For the next three days,

'Rhi will pack her bags
and move in with Eliot...

'..while Jacqui will move into
your apartment with Jeff.'

What?!
(LAUGHS)

(LAUGHS)

Jacqui?

(SLURPS)

(LAUGHS)
Oh, my god.

Well, she thinks you're a bit cute,

so that makes sense.
(GROANS)

I don't think Jacqui
has any feelings for me.

Well,
I hope she has no feelings for me,

because, yeah, that would be
very strange and uncomfortable.

Either way,

Jacqui's quite a lot.

This three days is gonna feel like
three years, seriously.

(LAUGHS)

I'm really confident
in mine and Jeff's relationship,

so I personally
don't feel bothered by it.

I think it'll be very interesting.

She's not gonna wanna move back in
with Ryan after living with you.

(LAUGHS)

While Rhi is finding some humour
in the task...

..Eliot is looking at the positives.

I was not expecting this.

But it might be good for us.

It might be good
to get some outside perspective

on day-to-day living.

Looking at Rhi and Jeff,

I see them as
a kind of a model couple.

They have
a really good understanding

of each other.

You contrast that with
my relationship with Veronica.

I really find that there's
kind of very little understanding.

Maybe there's something
I can learn from this.

I'm curious to see how much reading
you're gonna get done with Rhi.

(CHUCKLES)

I'm looking forward to seeing
if Dave gets through the three days.

You think he
might get...?

Why would he wouldn't get through
the three days?

(LAUGHS) Why can't you...?

Why would you say that?
You just...

What's a criticism, though?

You just had a dig at me
because I'm always reading.

I'm not digging. I'm observing.

Yeah, no, I... So I can...
It's an observation.

I read sometimes,
and sometimes I don't read.

You read very often.

Yeah. OK.
You do read a lot.

I'm not criticising.

I would say
I spend less time reading

than you spend in the bathroom.

(TENSE MUSIC)

That's just...
That's really just being honest.

OK, babe.

You are always negative towards me,
and I don't know how to, like...

You literally just said...
..navigate it.

.."All you do is read."

I'm just addressing the things
that you're saying...

No, you read all...
..that aren't true.

I said I under... I wonder
if you'll read as much with me

as you will with Rhi.
That's a snide remark.

It's not a snide remark.
Of course I'm gonna...

BOTH: Obviously...
No, it's not.

I'm allowed to address things.

Veronica didn't really tell me much
about...

..what she's expecting.

It felt like
she was just more focused on

trying to criticise me.

You never have anything positive
to say to me.

Everything is so negative with you.

You know,
I'm at the point where it's like

I need someone to move in here
with us, basically,

to have a functional relationship
with Veronica.

I'm done with this conversation now,
Eliot.

I'm gonna go start packing my bags
to move in with Dave.

Hopefully he's able to have
a normal conversation with me.

I find that hard to believe.

I think Rhi will be
much more reasonable,

like I'll know what...

..you know, Rhi is thinking,
what she's trying to tell me.

(TENSE MUSIC)

While Eliot is looking forward to
Rhi's perspective...

..across the hall,

Awhina is apprehensive.

Three days.

Adrian.
It'd be weird for you, to be honest.

Why? What am I doing?

(CHUCKLES)

'Awhina will pack her bags
and move in with...

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

'..Paul.'

That is weird.
That's weird.

(TENSE MUSIC)

Not really, though.

(TENSE MUSIC)

'..while Awhina moves into
your apartment with Paul.'

(LAUGHS) What the (BLEEP)?
No!

I don't like that.

No, I don't wanna do that.

Why Awhina out of all the girls?

A few weeks ago...

..Paul told me that he had
a little fling back in the day...

..with Awhina's twin sister.

(TENSE MUSIC)

So, yeah...

You've already
slept with her sister.

Now you're gonna sleep
in the same bed as her.

(TENSE MUSIC)

Yeah, obviously thought... Yeah.

'Cause, like, your sister dated,
like...

It is a bit odd.

He and my twin sister have a history
prior to this experience.

Beautiful.

But they're both from Perth,

and they were very casual
a couple of years ago.

I can't really remember
the timeframe.

It was very short-lived.

But she had nothing bad
to say about Paul,

so I feel like it'll be a breeze
for me.

My twin sister and I
speak every day,

maybe, like, two, three,
four times a day.

She knows that...

I've spoken to her in regards
to Paul being here

and saying
that we've actually become,

like, good friends.

Paul's a really nice guy...

..so this doesn't need to be
a big deal.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

My heart's racing.
(CHUCKLES)

What's up?
My heart is actually racing.

(TENSE MUSIC)

Look, I mean... (SIGHS)

..no hard feelings towards Awhina,
but...

..Awhina and her sister
look identical.

So I don't want
Awhina moving into our apartment

and sleeping in our bed
with my husband.

(TENSE MUSIC)

WOMAN: Our couples are in shock...

JEFF: Don't leave me.
(LAUGHS)

Please?

No!

Do I get conjugal visits?

..after learning that,
for the first stage

of Feedback Week,

the experts are reintroducing
the partner-swap task.

Are you writing me a little letter?

That will be cute
when I read that later.

The partner-swap task
will allow our couples

to gain an outside perspective
on their relationships

so they can make informed decisions
when deciding their future

beyond the experiment.

JACQUI:
What if she cuts our photos in half?

This is our shrine,
and no-one's gonna touch it.

While this is unconventional
and confronting,

it could also be the very thing

that gives our couples
some much-needed clarity

over their relationships.

While Awhina's twin sister shares
a past romance with Paul,

Awhina's been quick
to embrace the idea

of moving into Paul's apartment.

How do you think
it's gonna be living with Paul?

I actually reckon
it's gonna be very easy.

Like, he and I have, like,
formed a friendship here.

He seems pretty quiet.

Paul's a really nice guy.
We are friends.

I'm telling you,
I survived my husband

for the last eight weeks.
I can survive anyone for three days.

(LAUGHS)

Do you think Carina and Paul
are on the same page?

They seem pretty smitten
with each other.

And they seem in a good place.

Are you gonna miss me? (LAUGHS)

No.
(LAUGHS)

Yeah, me and Awhina
are in a good place right now.

I think maybe she'll realise
maybe she does miss me.

Maybe she might realise
how good she has it.

Oops. (SNORTS)

Do not help me, please.

Thanks, babe. No, thanks.

(LAUGHS)

But down the hall...

..Carina's still struggling
to come to terms with the idea

of Awhina moving in.

Are you OK?
No, I'm not OK.

Oh.

I'm uncomfortable.

Oh, baby.

(DOWNBEAT MUSIC)

Oh, hey.

Sit down.

I'm just thinking about the fact

that I have to actively
loan my husband out to Awhina

when Paul has history
with her twin sister.

It's just weird.

Look at me. What's going on
through your head at the moment?

Everything.
I'm trying to process it all...

Yeah, I get it.

..and how, like,
uncomfortable I am with it.

I get a bit protective
and possessive,

and sharing my husband
with another woman...

..it's like a form of cheating.

(SNIFFLES)

It completely goes against
my values,

my religion,

the way I was raised.

(PENSIVE MUSIC)

So, before we start,
I'll just say a very quick prayer.

Father, Son, Holy Spirit.

Amen. Dear Lord,

we thank you for...

I was born and raised as a Catholic.

I see it as a sense of community,

and it brings out
the good in people.

Guys, help yourself, please.

(LAUGHTER)

Everyone dig in.

Yes, like,

I can be very conservative
and traditional, but, you know,

from seeing my parents being married
for almost 45 years,

and they met
when they were 15 and 16.

I just think of marriage
as like a fairytale -

you know, being married once
and once only,

so that's where I come from.

For me, like, loyalty is everything.

I don't wanna do it.

(SIGHS) I don't.
But...

(VOICE BREAKS)
I don't agree with it.

Like, I don't wanna be doing this.

Like, this doesn't feel like
it's gonna bring me closer to you.

Is there something that scares you?
Are you scared of anything?

I'm not... No, I just...
I just wanna...

..think it's very weird.
It's like...

Yeah, maybe.

..the fact that, you know,

like, you'll be having a shower,
and then she's, like, in the room.

I can't. It's just (BLEEP) weird,

and they're our... It's our bed.

(TENSE MUSIC)

The thing I've had
with Awhina's twin sister, Cleo,

was two years ago,

and Carina has absolutely nothing
to worry about.

It is weird.

I'm feeling hell awkward and weird
about the whole thing as well.

I feel like Carina's just gone for
a little holiday with Teejay.

That's it. (LAUGHS)

Yeah, honestly, I'm OK.
Yeah, I'm fine with it. Yeah.

(TENSE MUSIC)

(KNOCK AT DOOR)

(SIGHS)

What the hell is that?

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

AWHINA: Hi. (LAUGHS)

Oh shit.
(LAUGHS)

How are you?

Carina's just there.

Hi. Are you OK?
(LAUGHS)

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm OK.
Are you... Have you been crying?

Yeah, I just don't like this.
Yeah.

She's... Yeah.
Oh, mate.

Carina's feeling
really uncomfortable

with the whole...
Carina.

Carina and I were just having a chat
about it,

and then, yeah,
next minute Cleo walked in.

It was very awkward.

Kind of like didn't know
where to stand.

I was like, "Oh." (CHUCKLES)

No.

(LAUGHS)

(BLEEP) Cleo, Awhina. Sorry.

You know what?

Adrian practically
threw me out of the room.

(LAUGHS)

He was like, "Get out!"

(LAUGHS) He even told me
he'll pack my bags.

(LAUGHS)

Oh, my gosh. (LAUGHS)
He did.

(LAUGHS)

And you know what I was like?

I literally was like,

"This is gonna be
a cruisy three days for me."

Like, it's a long time.

One night is fine.

A sleepover, no worries. But...
Babe, sweetie, three days.

Saturday, we'll be back.
(SIGHS)

Kind of understand
where Carina is at with this task.

But I'm used to
being in relationships

where my partner worked away,

so I don't think
it's such a big deal.

Is Carina sad
'cause she's gonna miss you

or she feels uncomfortable
living with someone else?

Well, she feels uncomfortable
with the whole situation.

(TENSE MUSIC)

Literally from day one, you know,

I haven't done anything for Carina
to not trust me.

So it does come across as Carina's,
you know,

a little bit jealous
about the situation.

All good?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

OK, bye.

Bye, babe.
Have fun.

You have fun with Teejay.

Yes, thank you.

Um, yeah...

I'll see you...
See you, baby.

Come here.
..in three days.

(TENSE MUSIC)

(GROANS) This is...
Oh...

Well, this is weird. (CHUCKLES)

(CHUCKLES)

(CHUCKLES)

I kind of just feel like
it's like a friend sleepover now.

Yeah, legit.

But our reaction
was definitely different

to yours and Carina's. (LAUGHS)

(TENSE MUSIC)

(CARINA SNIFFLES)

(CRIES)

(DOWNBEAT MUSIC)

Feeling overwhelmed with emotion...

..Carina's requested
a temporary room to go to

until she decides whether or not

to participate
in the partner-swap task.

I wouldn't be doing this
in the outside world.

Like, you don't, like, sleep...

..do sleepovers.

Like, imagine if my husband
was doing, like,

a sleepover with another woman,

like, that's just (BLEEP) weird.

Even if they're just friends,

like, it's...

Like, he'll be showering,
and then she's, like,

in the room next door.

Like, that's just weird to me.

Like, I don't feel comfortable
with that. (SNIFFLES)

(SIGHS) I trust him a lot,
but it's just like...

..this doesn't seem right in my gut.

Like, I feel off about it.

(SOBS)

(POIGNANT MUSIC)

(UPLIFTING MUSIC)

WOMAN: The partner-swap stage
of Feedback Week

has officially begun...

Time to go.

OK. Oh!

..and our brides are preparing
to move into their new apartments

for the next three days.

Rhi is moving in with Eliot...

(LAUGHS)

Hey, hey.
Hey.

Oh, my god.
How are you?

How's it going?
Good.

Oh, my goodness.

..and Jamie's
going to be living with Adrian...

Oh, that is so cute.

I can't believe this is...
You guys have sex on this bed.

..while Veronica moves in with Dave.

How fun, huh?

I was a bit nervous.
I'm not gonna lie.

I was like, "Jamie loves me."
(LAUGHS)

From what I've seen,
Dave's quite a nice guy,

so I think this is gonna be
a really chill couple of days.

But while the other participants

are settling into
their temporary new homes,

Beth is taking her time packing
to delay her move-in with Ryan.

I just feel like it's never been

a productive conversation
with him at all, so...

Yeah.

The two of them clashed
at the retreat

when Beth confronted Ryan
for prioritising the gym

over intimacy with his wife.

You'd rather save your energy
for the...

..the iron than her (BLEEP)?
(JACQUI LAUGHS)

Excuse my language.
Jeez Louise. No, well,

you better be excused...
But like...

..because that's like... Come on,

you're being really, really blunt
and offensive about it.

That's offensive.

I'm, like...
I'm open to learning things,

but I'm like... I...

I hope I learn something.

So, Beth's gonna be telling you
what to work on.

You've gotta tell Beth
what to work on.

It could be a disaster
when she comes in,

she's argumentative, she's rude,

and she could be on
a reconnaissance mission

to try get up dirt
on our relationship.

You know what? Jeff's gonna ask you
a lot of questions as well,

you know?
About you?

About me, about the relationship.

I think he's gonna be like,

"Jacqui, do you see, like,
living forever with this guy?"

Are you nervous?

Well, I mean, not nervous,

but I know that you don't have
much of a filter. (CHUCKLES)

Interesting.

Some people
might wanna sort of dig in

and create a more divisive angle
for this task,

but we've discussed it, like,
four or five times already.

I've got faith
that she's gonna speak on the work

that we've put in day in, day out
to be better.

Just remember, like,
outside opinions,

outside 'advice' has...

Is not helpful.
..has been helpful 1% of the time.

(LAUGHS)
Yeah, I hear you.

I've discovered that Ryan has
an extreme sense of masculine pride.

Ryan wants me to stay silent
and just, like, put on a happy face.

But I do wanna get Jeff's opinion

and maybe even help Ryan understand
gender equality and that, like,

traditional notions of masculinity
are a little bit outdated.

But I don't want it to be like,

"Ryan,
you need to be more like Jeff."

That would
really destroy Ryan's pride and ego.

I can't even... (LAUGHS)

(KNOCK AT DOOR)

(LAUGHS)
(SIGHS) I'll get it.

I'll get it. You stay here.
I've got it.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

Oh, hi.
Hi. You're still here.

Yeah.
Hi.

(TENSE MUSIC)

Hi.
Welcome.

Thanks.

Wow.

You guys have a lot of pictures.

Yeah.

Don't you?
So that's the shrine over there.

Stunning.

Well, very interesting.
Yeah.

When I walk into their home,

there's photos everywhere.

Like, they've got a shrine.
They've got a shrine.

It's not the Jacqui and Ryan
that we see, is it?

Yeah, welcome to our place.

Their relationship
seems lovey-dovey.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

But when I see them together

at cocktail parties
and dinner parties

and at the retreat,
completely different relationship.

That's really shocked me,

so I wanna get to the bottom
of the issues that they're having.

What did you feel when you saw
the names on the note, on the task?

Um, it was 100% horror.

And I'm sure I probably wasn't
your first choice either.

No, no.
Yeah.

So, yeah...

I think about this with glee.

When Teejay and Beth
open the envelope and saw my name,

how they squirmed.
You know, it's delicious.

What?

Oh, yeah, um... (CHUCKLES)
We might be...

We might be putting out a swear jar.

Yeah.
(LAUGHS)

You've got to be (BLEEP) joking.

(COUPLE LAUGH)

The swear jar was like
a bit of a gag,

but if she starts swearing at me,
like, that'd be the end of it.

You can piss off out of here.

Well, I've already broke it.
(COUPLE LAUGH)

That's OK.
We can give you one warning.

(LAUGHS)

I won't be here to enforce
the rules,

so I'll leave it in my...
trusted hands of my husband,

who'll enforce the rules.
Mm.

(TENSE MUSIC)

Beth's spent a lot of time
judging our relationship,

just throwing out pure ignorance
and vulgarity and swearing,

all that type of stuff.

So she's gonna get an insight
into it

and hopefully maybe
shut the (BLEEP) up as well.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

OK, well, I guess I'm going now.

Alright, I'll give you a hand.
Thanks, Ryan.

Have fun.
Thank you.

Enjoy my hubby.
Bye.

(RYAN LAUGHS)
I will.

(LAUGHS)
I'll get the door for you.

Thank you.

While Beth puts on a brave face,

Jacqui has her own concerns over
what she's walking into.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

Never had any hard feelings
towards Jeff,

but I know Rhi
is probably extra anxious.

Even just a friendly coffee
triggered her

to react in this insane way.

Like, the smallest thing
can upset her.

I reached out for support.

It was that I wanted a man's opinion
about some of the things...

But you could have a man's opinion
with me there.

A lot of girls can experience
envy and jealousy,

and I wouldn't be surprised
if Rhi's going through that.

(KNOCK AT DOOR)

So I know she's probably gonna
take it out on me a little bit,

so I have to walk across eggshells
while I'm in Jeff's apartment,

because everything I do

will probably be interrogated
by Rhi.

Who could this be?

Hello, Jac.
(LAUGHS)

Come in.
Hello.

Who would have thought?

Who would have thought?
How are you?

Good.
Let me help you with your bag.

Thank you. Oh, very nice of you.
(GRUNTS) Nah, all good. It's heavy.

I brought you something.

A dress to iron.

Sorry, to steam. (LAUGHS)
(LAUGHS)

I need this steamed
before the next DP,

so it's like, "Why not?"

I can steam that for you.
Yeah, that'd be great. Thanks.

No issues. Come in.

Thank you.

Come, come.

Yeah, it's a... (LAUGHS)

I did find that quite funny,
that Jacqui's walked in the door

and gone, "I've got a dress
for you to steam."

I was like,
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. #

Hopefully she settles in
and chills out a little bit.

Hope you like salmon.

I love salmon.
I actually brought my own salmon.

Oh, did you? Don't worry. I'll...
I brought...

I'm gonna cook you a dinner tonight.

Yay! Oh, my god.
Yeah.

I was like, "OK, I'm gonna show up
with my dress ready to be steamed,

"my belly empty and..." (LAUGHS)

Jeff has been incredibly welcoming.

Salmon's my favourite,
and it'll be the first time

that someone's cooked for me
on this experiment.

(LAUGHS)

(TENSE MUSIC)

(CLEARS THROAT) Um...

I'm looking forward to

understanding more about
your relationship.

You know, like, obviously,

you're probably gonna be curious
and whatnot.

Yeah.

And I'll be as open
as I choose to be.

We made a promise to each other

that we wouldn't get
other people's opinions

and divulge details about
our relationship.

So I trust Jacqui completely
in that regard.

So,
who has Jacqui gone to stay with?

She's going to be shacking up
with Jeff.

Interesting.

And you're feeling fine about her
going to Jeff's?

Yeah, absolutely.
OK, that's good.

Yeah, yeah.
That's great.

I think they're just gonna tiptoe
around each other.

Yeah, OK.
Yeah.

(LAUGHS)

Look at this.
Put me on the tools straight away.

Do you enjoy doing this?

It's soothing.

I feel like I've been struggling
to connect with Ryan

on certain levels,

and Jeff is just so hospitable.

(LAUGHS)

So I think the next few days
with Jeff are gonna be great.

(LAUGHS)

I should have brought
all my dresses. (LAUGHS)

Still to come,

Beth and Ryan go head-to-head.

If I've seen shit behaviour,
I'm going to call it out...

Mm-hm.
..whether you like it or not.

We don't give a shit any more.

And Paul drops a bombshell.

When I told Carina about Cleo,

she said...

Wow.

(TENSE MUSIC)

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC)

WOMAN: The partner-swap phase
of Feedback Week continues.

And for Eliot, the thought
of getting another perspective

on his relationship has him
buzzing with excitement.

I know that you're into health
and fitness,

so I was like, "I'll run down
and make a little fruit bowl."

Oh, thank you. That's so nice.

There's a lot of things about
Jeff and her that work.

It's something to look to aspire to.

We really haven't spoken much,

but I know that you like
health and fitness, so...

Thank you.

I really want to get to know Eliot
a little bit

and see how he lives day to day

and if I can help
their relationship in any way.

Do you want a hand with anything?

Nah, that's so fine. Thank you.

I won't be a sec.
I honestly didn't pack that much.

As the new pairings settle in...

..the experts are hopeful
the tasks they've devised

will help facilitate discussion
and feedback.

Oh, what?
PAUL: Is there... Oh. (LAUGHS)

Another bloody letter!
Another letter.

It say 'Rhi and Eliot' on it?

(BOTH LAUGH)

'Beth and Ryan, a fresh set of eyes
on your relationship

'can help you to explore
the reasons why

'things are going wrong
or build on what's going well.'

'In this task,

'you will each be required
to write tough questions

'about your relationship...

'..seeking your new pairing's
opinion.'

'These questions must be
well considered and hard-hitting.'

MEL: For our participants,

the hard-hitting questions

will allow them to learn
how others view their relationship -

the good and the bad.

'Be - underlined - brutally honest.'

'Don't waste this opportunity
to face the hard truth head-on.

'The experts.'

By seeking
their new pairing's opinions,

our hope is that they will learn
some strategies to implement

into their own relationships.

I'm a very honest person,
so I'm ready for it.

You are?
Oh, god, yeah.

I had no idea.
Oh, god, yeah.

(BOTH LAUGH)

WOMAN: And the first pairing

to take on
the 'hard-hitting questions' task

are Rhi and Eliot.

ELIOT: Looking at Rhi and Jeff,

I don't think there's a lot
I can really lend

to their relationship,

but I see them as
a kind of a model couple.

Yeah, I look forward to finding out
more about what's going on

in their relationship.

Alright, you ready?
Ready.

Jeff and I dated for a month
last year, and it fizzled out.

Can you see that happening again
this time around?

Was it like,

um,

you were moving away from each other
or...?

So, both of us had just come out
of long-term relationships.

OK.
And we were both the first person

that each other had dated.
Oh.

So, if I'm being honest...

..the fact that you have
kind of found each other before

tells me
that there's a lot of suitability

between you two.
Yeah.

Do you know what I mean?
Yeah.

And now that
you're in a better position...

..I don't think it'll fizzle out.

Like, watching you two together,

I can tell you kind of understand
your differences and accept them.

I think that that's beautiful, yeah.

If I was gonna bet, I'd probably bet
that it is gonna continue...

OK. Yeah.
..after this, right?

That's good to hear.

As much as Jeff and I are amazing,

we get on and I can't fault
our relationship right now,

it feels great
to have that confidence

from an outsider's perspective.

It's really nice to hear.

Alright, so, my turn.

To be honest,
since the Commitment Ceremony,

I've had Veronica's motivations
in question.

When we did have our worst week,

Veronica chose
to go and confide in Lauren

and speak to her
about the situation.

Just seems like...

..like I'm in this experiment

with someone
that doesn't really like me.

(TENSE MUSIC)

And sometimes with Veronica,

it feels like
she absolutely hates my guts.

So, like, the fact
that Rhi is friendly with Veronica,

she can kind of give me
a bit of a window

into what Veronica might be feeling.

Then, you know, maybe there's
some hope that we can connect.

Based on the conversations
that you've had with Veronica...

..what is your impression
of what she thinks about me?

She mentioned that, you know...

..when she's walked into a room
a couple of times,

like, you haven't made eye contact
with her and...

OK.
..and you're a bit more closed off.

Right.

Look, I, like, switch off,
read my book

and, like, have a bit of silence.
Like...

Oh, definitely, yeah.
Yeah.

She did mention that she wished

that you were
a little bit more open.

I feel like
there's the smallest things

that you would need to do
to help that.

Yeah.

And it could just be that,

now that she's mentioned
the eye-contact thing,

maybe just, yeah...
Yeah.

..upping your game
a little bit there.

Yeah.
Seeing how you go.

That's really constructive.
(CHUCKLES)

While Eliot opens himself up
to Rhi's advice...

..Veronica's eager
to raise her own concerns with Dave.

Do you think Eliot and I
are emotionally compatible?

DAVE: It's clear to see
that there's a disconnect

with you and Eliot.

From what I hear
from your couch sessions,

you've been a lot more open
than he has.

Yeah, it's been challenging.

Like, he doesn't tell me much
about just even his day.

After what happened with Lauren,
I think he's super, super cautious.

And until he's 100%,
120% sure about someone,

I don't think he's gonna let 'em in,

because he's actually probably
pretty scarred.

He just isn't willing to hear
that I've apologised,

and it does feel like
he's not really overly excited

to, like, hear my opinion.

(TENSE MUSIC)

In any relationship,

whether it's a friendship
or anything, you need to have...

Yeah.
..that sort of comfort in,

"Oh, you're gonna open up?
I'll open up."

Yeah.
If you're not getting that back,

then how are you gonna
express yourself?

That's it.

Dave is very easy to talk to.

He offers his opinions openly.

We could talk all day long probably.

(TENSE MUSIC)

Do you think Veronica and I
are a good match?

Um,

obviously, at the moment,

your couch sessions -

they're hard to watch,

because you can see that both of you
mean well.

And, actually, if you did find
that middle ground...

..I think that you and Veronica
definitely have potential.

(GENTLE MUSIC)

I think that's a great way
to look at it.

It's like we are a good match
if we can learn to...

Yeah.
..speak each other's language.

Being able
to have these conversations with Rhi

I think has been really helpful.

It kind of shows you
that there is a path forward...

..and also maybe Veronica
has picked up from Dave that...

..she has been a little bit
too critical of me in certain ways.

Is Eliot your type?

(PENSIVE MUSIC)

Like, in terms of a relationship
that I would wanna be in,

it's probably like you and Jeff.

I can see that, like,

you guys are considering
your partners' needs.

Eliot wouldn't even know,

'cause he's not interested.
That's..

You know?
That's nice for you to say, though.

Yeah.
That's good. That's cool.

Unfortunately,
Eliot's not able to reach in

and talk about things that are,
like,

a little bit more important
or vulnerable.

And, therefore,

communication with Eliot
is far more difficult.

(TENSE MUSIC)

I honestly feel like I've had
more conversation with you

than I've had with him
the whole time I've known him.

Yeah, I do feel like

I probably would have been
better matched with Dave.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

But I'd also be better matched

with probably almost every person
on this floor.

(CHUCKLES)

I have PTSD from this paper.
(BOTH LAUGH)

(TENSE MUSIC)

(JAUNTY MUSIC)

WOMAN:
The experts have reintroduced

the partner-swap task
as part of Feedback Week.

And despite her serious reluctance
this morning,

Carina has decided to participate
and move into Teejay's apartment.

(KNOCK AT DOOR)

Hi! (LAUGHS)
Hey, roomie. How are you, darling?

Good. How are you?
Good, thank you. Welcome.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)
Wow. Isn't this...?

Isn't this a pleasant encounter?

Right?
Your Airbnb for the next few days.

I know. This is so cool.
Welcome. Make yourself at home.

Do you want a coffee or a tea
or something?

I'm OK. Thank you.
OK.

I've taken a bit of time
to digest all of this

and process my many, many emotions

and feelings
that are going on inside me.

Yeah, I'm trying to embrace more
of what has come my way.

I'm, like, shook...
Yeah?

..at all of this.

I'm just still trying
to process everything,

to be honest with you.

I think I'm trying to look at this
from a perspective of,

like, learning.
Beth and I have obviously had issues

with that connection kind of thing,
which you and Paul are super...

like, you guys are great at.
Yeah.

So... it would be cool to see,
I guess, a different perspective.

Although they've had a little bit
of a tumultuous past,

they do have
a really beautiful connection,

and that's something
that I want Beth and I to build on.

Hopefully Carina opens up
a bit to me,

and maybe then I can give
a little bit of advice too.

I guess I didn't see it
from that point of view.

I was coming from a place of, like,
maybe, protection.

I think, maybe,
I am falling for him more

than I thought...
Yeah.

..because I am, like,
very protective.

That's beautiful.
I'm like, "That's my man."

Yeah.

Well, look, let me show you around.

(BOTH LAUGH)

You're currently in the lounge room.
Wow. Yeah.

That, way over there,
is the dining room.

I hope she feels more comfortable,
you know, having the bed, and...

I'm gonna give her her own space
and whatnot too, so...

I hope I can make her feel
a little bit more comfortable

over these next couple of days.

And that's the tour. (CHUCKLES)
Wow.

So, honestly, make yourself at home.
Thank you very much.

Now that I've reflected on it,

I can see that if I did not care
about Paul so much,

and what we are building,

I wouldn't find this as difficult
as I have been.

Beautiful day in Sydney.
OK.

Across the hall,
Jamie is finding herself

right at home,

spending Feedback Week
with her friend's husband, Adrian.

I actually think Adrian and I
are quite excited. It's, like,

we actually get along, and we...

..we have
very similar points of view.

Welcome home.
(LAUGHS) This is so weird.

Veronica is probably
the last person I wanted into...

..like, in my apartment.

Right now, like, I'm very much,
like, in Eliot's corner.

Yeah.
Yeah.

She really tries
to make him look like

he doesn't validate her...
That's exactly right.

..this, and... I don't know.
Yeah. Yeah.

The minute she sits on the couch,

it's legit, like,
a completely different person.

She always thinks
she's gonna land with the experts.

Oh, yeah.
And then he just goes, "No."

(CHUCKLES)
Legit.

That's exactly what I said.

The scary thing is you and I
often have the same thoughts.

Oh, legit.
(CHUCKLES)

Already I felt like I'm coming over

and having a goss sesh with,
like, my girlfriends.

'Cause me and Adrian
were sitting there with our coffee,

and we were, like... (BABBLES)
So off to a good start. (CHUCKLES)

Down the hall,

Beth is hoping
to finally get some insight

into Ryan's marriage with Jacqui

as the pair take on
the 'hard-hitting questions' task.

You ready to nail the task?
Oh, we're gonna nail the task.

Mm-hm.
(CHUCKLES)

As much as me and Ryan have clashed,
I am happy to work around it,

because I do still wanna help him
and his relationship.

Do you wanna start?
I will start, yes.

OK.

I mean, obviously,
I've come into the apartment,

and there's photos of them
everywhere,

and they seem really happy,
but why don't we see that, then?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

So, first one is...

(CHUCKLES)

OK.

'Rather than having a one-on-one

'and being actually curious about
mine and Jacqui's relationship,

'you've listened to other opinions

'and only taken
a negative and judgemental view.

'Why is that?'

I mean,
actions speak louder than words.

Our reception was going well,
and then, I guess,

I feel like
it kind of just got turned to shit,

because you and Jacqui
had a blow-up.

(CLEARS THROAT)

It's a betrayal,
no matter how you look at it.

JACQUI: It's not a betrayal, Ryan!

What's happening?

Who knows?

Dinner and a show, babe, innit?

The wedding wasn't our finest hour.
Yeah.

But, since then,
we've made a lot of progress.

Mm-hm.

And you could have asked questions
along the way.

OK. Second question.

'It's not Jacqui and I's duty
to satisfy your confusion,

'but what is the main aspect
you want clarified?

'Being as you know very little
about us.'

I don't understand
how you can go from so hot to cold.

I'm talking for me and Teejay.
It does not make sense to us.

That's all I ever hear from you
and Teejay -

is, "I'm confused.
It doesn't make sense."

It doesn't mean anything to us.

We don't give a shit any more.

As we're going through
the challenge,

the way he's talking to me,
and his questions,

are really starting to sink in,
and I'm like, "Hang on.

"He's obviously using this challenge
as, like,

"an opportunity to confront me

"and my behaviour
and what he doesn't like about me,"

which is not what the challenge was.

'You've spoken quite aggressively
against me and our marriage.'

Mm-hm.

'Is that the way
you conduct yourself in real life

'when you don't have the facts?'

(TENSE MUSIC)

I've only heard bad things
about your relationship,

and I've only witnessed bad things.

Of course I'm going to have
nothing to say to you both.

Roger that.

'What would be your honest
and helpful advice

'to Jacqui and I for the future?

'Instead of, maybe,
attacking our sex life.'

'Cause you don't have any knowledge
of how we conduct ourselves

as individuals
or in the relationship -

only what you've "heard".

And seen.

If I've seen shit behaviour,

I'm going to call it out...
Mm-hm.

..whether you like it or not.

The way Ryan went into the task

was actually not to hear
what I had to say at all.

It was just to have a dig at me.

He didn't really take
any accountability

for what he does.

So, yeah,
I think it's kind of just summed up

how I was already feeling
about Ryan, to be honest.

Cool. Done.

I think
he's a complete and utter (BLEEP).

WOMAN: Our participants continue

to face the task
designed by the experts.

And after having the day apart
from his wife,

Paul is ready to present
his hard-hitting questions

to Awhina.

I've even put the pillow fort there.
I'm respecting boundaries.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

That's interesting.
Need to have a barricade.

I think Carina and Paul

are one of
the strongest couples here,

throughout this entire experiment.

So I'm interested
to see Paul voicing his concerns.

OK, so, the first one.

Um...

It's probably, like, the one that...
(SIGHS)

..probably worries me the most.

So... 'After seeing
Carina's reactions today,

'about moving us together,

'do you think
she is a jealous person,

'and that this could be an issue
in our relationship in the future,

'and why?'

Hmm.

(TENSE MUSIC)

(CHUCKLES)

Oh...

God, you hit me
straight with the hard one.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

Hmm.

I could see she was visibly upset,
clearly.

Yeah.

(CHUCKLES)
Really upset over this challenge.

And I know Carina -
or anyone, really -

would feel uncomfortable
with someone,

a female, coming into the apartment
for three days with their partner.

Yeah.

But, then again, I laughed.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

It's a hard one.

I could understand feeling upset
with the situation,

but, then again,

I'm really good friends
with Paul and Carina.

You know what I mean? So,

like, I'm not sure
what she could be jealous of.

The reason why I'm asking that
is because she did say to me,

before you walked in...

that, if it would have been
any other girl,

she would have probably felt
a lot better

about the whole situation.

Wow.

You know,
because I've had the thing with...

..with your sister,
and blah, blah, blah.

And then she's...
She's a massive overthinker,

and then she's...
Yeah.

..started overthinking
a lot of things.

Hearing him say that,
it definitely frustrated me.

Like, we're friends.

I thought
we were in a healthy place.

But, also,
twins aren't the same people.

They have their own identity.

Cleo and I, we're so different.

(TENSE MUSIC)

If anything,

Carina should be reassured
in knowing

that I would never want to
sleep in a bed

with someone my twin sister has.
(CHUCKLES)

Legit.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

Right?

It's hard, 'cause I am, like,
not a jealous person,

and I trust you so much, and...

(TENSE MUSIC)

I think, in your relationship,

you might struggle later on.

So, right now, you guys
are still in that honeymoon phase.

You give her those affirmations.
You're reassuring her.

Yeah.

You guys
are quite physically connected.

But relationships
aren't always like that.

I am worried that
if she's feeling uncomfortable now,

when you're in a good place...
Yep.

..imagine
when you're not in a good place.

That's probably
when those jealous tendencies

will probably rear their ugly head -

when you are going out
with the boys...

Yeah.

..and whether or not
she trusts you.

It's nice to see
that Awhina obviously agreed about,

you know, Carina potentially being
a jealous person.

You know, like,
it's not just in my head.

I'm giving her so much.
I'm doing everything for her.

I've told her everything -
you know, my past, everything.

Literally, I'm doing everything
to make her feel safe and to...

..to make her feel that I...

I can be fully trusted.
You know what I mean?

It was very clear as day.

Paul felt a little hurt
by Carina's reaction.

And it really, kind of, showed me

they aren't
just a picture-perfect couple.

They have some very real issues,
clearly.

How would you navigate
being in a relationship with someone

who might be quite jealous?

It would push me away,
like, big time.

(TENSE MUSIC)

Coming up...

When I told Carina about Cleo...

..Paul doubles down.

..she said...

"Yeah."

So I feel like she's a bit of a snob
sometimes.

"And, I'll be honest with you,
this is giving me the ick."

Wow.

(OMINOUS MUSIC)

It's the first night
of the partner-swap stage

of Feedback Week,

and both Beth and Ryan are eager
to fast-forward through this phase,

so are calling it an early night.

Alright.
Alright.

What a day.

Challenging,
but raw honesty was needed.

Living with Ryan sucks.

The way
Ryan wrote those questions today

has proved
he's really disrespectful.

That's just who he is.

We're gonna both do the bed.
We'll put a pillow in the middle.

Pillow fort.
Yep. Definitely.

Living with Beth -
it's pretty terrible,

almost from the moment
she walked in.

And, honestly,

we're just two people
coexisting at the moment.

Well, this is weird, isn't it?
It's not not awkward.

Yep.

It's the first thing
you're gonna see. (CHUCKLES)

I think living together
has given me, like,

a new appreciation for Jacqui and I.

We've both been,
like, texting each other -

like, "Miss you." "Miss you."

And, yeah, this...

..this will bring Jacqui and I
closer together.

Goodnight.
Goodnight.

(QUIRKY MUSIC)

JEFF: This is delicious.

Uh... And then we use the sauce,

and we dribble it over the
mash later.

Oh, wow.

Jeff's insisted on giving me
the bed, washed all the sheets,

he's cooking me dinner...

Right now, I feel so happy
and relieved and...

This is exactly what I wanted.

Just treat this like a holiday.

You're in a resort -
get dinner cooked for you.

(LAUGHS)
Having a red wine.

Ryan has never cooked for me
in this experiment,

and the food he eats,

I would not want to be cooked
for me.

Oh, my gosh!
There you go.

Thank you.
All good.

This is my dream evening
with a partner,

and it's a shame that I haven't
been able to experience that

with my match. Yeah.

That's insane.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

Literally.
It's good, isn't it?

It's so good.
Yeah.

While Jacqui's on cloud nine,
thanks to Jeff,

Jamie and her new BFF, Adrian,

are decompressing from the day
with a girls' chat.

We're a package deal now.

I know.

I think I've got two wives now.

One was hard enough.
Now I've got two.

(CHUCKLES)

If this was a competition,

I'd like to say we won.
I think so, by far.

Dave and Veronica
might be having a few laughs,

but more fun? No.

Oh...

(BOTH LAUGH)

I know!

Look, if these are my last words,
"Mum, I love you."

It's actually a big bed, though.
It's actually, like...

There's so much room for activities.

No activities. No activities.

All I request is this blue blanket
and one pillow.

Of course.
That's it.

You sure you don't want me
to sleep...?

No. I actually prefer the...

..the couch.
Really?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Been on the couch many a time.

Tonight I did hear from Paul,
and Awhina was on speaker.

He cooked gnocchi,

which he told me
he was gonna cook for me. (LAUGHS)

Alright. Goodnight, darling.

Alright. Goodnight.

Trying not to overthink
and get inside my head,

because my brain will just spiral.

OK. Shutting the light now.
Goodnight, roomie.

But if I found out
that she did sleep in the bed,

far out. I would be pissed off.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

(PAUL LAUGHS)

AWHINA: You are a very big man.

(BOTH LAUGH)

And you will not fit on this couch.
And watch this.

I fit on it actually perfectly.

The beds are massive...

..but, because of Carina's reaction
to this task,

yeah,
I'll respect Carina's boundaries.

Goodnight, honey.

(BOTH LAUGH)

(BOTH LAUGH)

Alright. Well, you sleep well.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

Ciao.

(CHUCKLES)

Alright. Goodnight.

See... Uh, no. What's...?

Ah!

No. It's stayed on. No. (LAUGHS)
There we go.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

(REFLECTIVE MUSIC)

(UPLIFTING MUSIC)

WOMAN:
The second day of Feedback Week

brings with it a brand-new task
devised by the experts.

(KNOCK AT DOOR)

Oh. (CHUCKLES)
(BLEEP) Ready. (BLEEP).

I'll grab it.

Oh, another one!

What now?
Another letter!

And Awhina and Paul

and Carina and Teejay

are going to be the first pairings
to tackle it.

Are you excited? (CHUCKLES)

Somehow I feel a bit nervous
about that one. (CHUCKLES)

Yeah, me too.
(CHUCKLES)

I'll let you do the honours.
(CHUCKLES)

'It's easy to become complacent

'when you are spending every day
with your partner.'

'Take this pen and paper

'and write an honesty letter...'
Holy (BLEEP).

Holy shit.

'When you've completed your letter,
read it loud to each other.'

'Something about your relationship
that's been weighing on your mind.'

(SIGHS)

Everyone's got concerns
in their relationship...

Yeah.

..and sometimes it's hard
to vocalise that to your partner.

The honesty letter is designed
to allow the participants

to lay everything out on the table,

particularly issues
that have been holding them back

from forming a deeper connection
with their partners.

Things are getting serious
with my relationship with Paul.

I'm excited, to be honest.

Like, if Paul and I
keep going the way we are,

I can definitely see myself
falling in love with him.

But then I know that I have,
yeah, been thinking a lot about...

..when it comes to the religion
aspect.

So, yeah, I thought I would,
you know,

get Teejay's opinion.

I'm done.
You ready?

Yeah.

(POIGNANT MUSIC)

(SIGHS)

'My darling P...

'..I've learned so much about you
through the journey

'of this experiment,
and I love spending time with you.

'The one thing
that's been worrying me

'is how you aren't religious,

'and how we both may have
different ways of raising a family.

'I don't want to scare you off,

'but I hope this can open
a conversation up

'around our different views
about this.'

Yeah.
Beautiful.

That's the hardest thing
you have to cross in a relationship.

You guys are doing very well.
Yeah.

I think there...

there would be a compromise
that would be amicable for you both.

Carina and Paul
are focusing on the future,

and it was cool to hear Carina's
already thinking about children.

It's beautiful to see.

That's probably the toughest thing
I've got to encounter.

Do you wanna go first?

Yeah, sure. I'll go first.

I feel like you've got a lot
to unpack there, so...

Yeah, there's actually quite a few,
yeah.

I've had a little bit of time
away from Carina now.

Yeah, and of course her reaction
yesterday made it clear...

..there's a few things
that have been,

you know, bothering me a little bit.

OK, so...

'Before coming into this experiment,

'I told myself I wasn't going to
make the same mistakes

'I've made
in my previous relationship,

'which was ignoring the red flags,

'because of the fear
of the relationship failing.

(POIGNANT MUSIC)

'After 12 months of engagement,
her true self came out,

'and I realised that we weren't
as compatible as I thought we were.

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

'My fear is that
this may be happening with Carina.

(TENSE MUSIC)

'I feel like she is a bit of a snob
sometimes...

'..and can come across
as very judgy.

'And, I'll be honest with you,
this is giving me the ick.

(OMINOUS MUSIC)

'Now, when...'

(CHUCKLES)

When I told Carina the reason why
I knew you,

she made a comment about Cleo
that...

..sort of gave me the ick.

She said...

Yeah.
Wow.

(TENSE MUSIC)

(TENSE MUSIC)

PAUL:
When I told Carina about Cleo...

..she said, "Oh, I didn't know

"you would go for
that kind of calibre."

Yeah.
Wow.

You know?

'So I feel like she is
a bit of a snob sometimes

'and can come across as very judgy.

'And, I'll be honest with you,
this is giving me the ick.'

(TENSE MUSIC)

Ooh.

Saying someone's
in a different calibre to you,

you're essentially saying
you're better than them.

I would love to know
what makes you better

than my twin sister.

Oh, that was heavy.

The 'calibre' comment -

is that because my twin sister's
covered in tattoos?

Well, yeah.

And that's...

And that's something
that really gives me the ick,

because that's not who I am.

Like, I'm not gonna judge someone
because they have tattoos,

or because of where they're from -
stuff like that.

Yeah.
My twin sister owns her own house,

and she doesn't work for
a family business.

Like, that... I don't know.
That comment - like...

I would never,
ever say these things to people.

Where are you in your life, Carina,
to look down at my twin sister?

Exactly.

I could also, in return, judge you.

I know you live at home
with your family.

I know you work for
your family's business.

I could then call you an entitled,
sheltered princess.

Do not say my twin sister's
in a different calibre, babe,

'cause she is,

and the different calibre
is a different way.

I'll tell you that.

No. (CHUCKLES) That was really...
I knew... I knew that was gonna...

No, my twin sister...
I knew that was gonna upset you.

My twin sister is beautiful.

She's an amazing auntie.
She's loving.

And I don't like fake people.

I don't like people
who think they're better

than other people.

I actually would have loved
for Carina

to have said that comment to me.
I would have loved it.

Because of all these little comments
that she's made, here and there,

I have a feeling that we might
not be as compatible as we...

..as we think we are.

And, yeah, I'm not gonna lie -

I'm quite scared
of how she's gonna react

if I ever bring those things up.

Is she gonna full attack?
Is she gonna deflect?

Is she just gonna...?

Is she gonna just,
like, lose her shit

or start crying or whatever?

No, bring it up.

Yeah, OK.
Yeah, bring it up.

(TENSE MUSIC)

You've gotta have raw honesty
in a relationship.

Yeah.
You can't just sugar-coat things.

Yeah.

I'm really pissed off.

Carina and I had a good friendship.

We were texting.

We were supposed
to go on a double date.

So to know she's made
'calibre' comments

about my twin sister,

which extends to me,
that is so wrong.

Trust me - like,

I'm not gonna let her
get away with it.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

WOMAN: Tomorrow night...

..Adrian's brutal feedback.

Jamie asks Dave the hard questions.

Are we having a lack of sex

because you're not
in the 'love' stage?

I feel like...
Yes or no.

(LAUGHS)

RHI: Oh.
JEFF: I missed you.

And our couples are reunited
after spending three days apart.

Being away from Rhi,

it made me realise
how much I really want this to work.

You are so cute. (CHUCKLES)

However, not everyone will receive
a warm welcome.

'She can come across as very judgy.

'You said to me
that you were surprised

'that I would go for
that kind of calibre.'

CARINA: Wow.

Paul faces up to what he confessed
behind Carina's back.

I didn't see any of that
coming from Paul.

Bit of a slap in the face.
