All language subtitles for Married at First Sight (AU) - S12E27 - Episode 27.en

NARRATOR: Previously...

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

Jamie made her romantic feelings
for Dave very clear.

So, you haven't said it back?

No.

JACQUI: Oh, my God.

What?

Honey, I'm home.

Feedback week saw
the return of partner swap...

Oh, my God.
Eliot, how are you?

..and some embraced the chance
to get a fresh perspective...

Rhi and Jeff, I see them
as a kind of a model couple.

Maybe there's something
I can learn from this.

I should have bought all my dresses.

..while Jacqui enjoyed the service
at Hotel Jeff.

There you go!
Thank you.

This is my dream evening
with a partner.

Carina can come across
as very judgy.

Harsh truths were exposed...

When I told Carina about Cleo,
she said...

..when Paul revealed comments Carina
made about Awhina's twin sister.

Wow.

I feel like she is
a bit of a snob sometimes,

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

Tonight...

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?

Oh!
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're so cute.

However, not everyone
will receive a warm welcome.

She can come across
as very, very judgy.

You said to me that
you were surprised

that I would go for
that kind of calibre.

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.

(MOROSE MUSIC)

(UPLIFTING MUSIC)

NARRATOR: It's fast approaching
the end

of Australia's
biggest social experiment,

and so the experts have
decided to reintroduce

an important part of feedback week,
the partner swap,

and it's the second morning
where participants are waking up

with their new bedmates.

(BED CREAKS RHYTHMICALLY)

The creaking sounded like...

Eh-ah, eh-ah.

(WHIMSICAL MUSIC)

Adrian and I, like, just, we
really didn't sleep, like, I swear.

Honestly, this place is haunted.

This wall was creaking.

Like hardwood floor,
like an old lady.

At, like, 3am.

That's, like, witching hour.

Nah. Nah, nah.

There's never been noises in this
house, no creaking.

I don't actually believe you.

All of a sudden, the lights
are turning on at midnight.

And then the door's making sound.

I'm like, "Adrian, what the hell?
What's going on?"

He's like,
"It's never happened before.

"You brought demons with you.

Like, have you ever washed this?

I'm like, babe,
if anyone's got demons, it ain't me.

This has probably got so many of
yours and Awhina's babies on here.

I know Adrian a bit too well
right now.

I feel like now
I've literally gotten a new husband.

I mean, change-up is good.

I mean, it's been nice and easy.
I thought it was actually quite fun.

(DISTURBING MUSIC)

(VERONICA GIGGLES)

(DAVE CHUCKLES)

Mate.
Oh!

Gotta be a bit quicker than that
around here, boys.

(BOTH LAUGH)

(TENSE MUSIC)

(SATISFIED SIGH)

Yeah, fine.

Did you sleep well?
Yeah, I slept pretty good.

(UNUSUAL CRY)

Yeah, look, we get on.

Um...

Yeah, so it's good.

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

(PLAYFUL GROAN)

I am having a good time.
I'm not going to deny that.

It is a stark contrast
to my relationship with Eliot.

I think there's been some
uncomfortable sleeping arrangements.

Yeah.

Not us. We're just...

Not me.

Um...

(TENSE MUSIC)

Oh, it's just.

Yeah, it's definitely different.

Feedback week is given...
given me time to think,

and, prior to sort of
leaving the apartment,

Jamie told me she loved me.

I did not say it back.

Yeah, I covered his mouth.

I said, I'm going to 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.

Okay, so, you haven't said it back?

No.

Jamie saying that she loves me
six weeks in

sort of put the pressure on me
but I don't move that quick.

Yeah, I sort of had to take
some time to think about that, so...

Yeah.

How do you reckon Eliot's going
over there with Rhi?

I think they're probably
doing all right.

If he's on his best behaviour.
On his best behaviour.

Will probably be a bit hot.

You slept all right in there?

Yeah, I slept good. Did you sleep
all right on the couch?

Yeah, yeah.
Did you miss Jeff last night?

Yeah.
How do you think he's handling it?

Um, I'm sure it...

Yeah, it'd be a bit of
a shock to the system.

JACQUI: We're gonna do
some jumping jacks.

That wasn't a jump jack.

Oh, star jumps.
Star jumps.

Across town, Jacqui is overjoyed

to finally be putting Jeff
through his paces.

Oh!
Stretch.

Stretch.
I can touch the ground.

Jesus.

Being around Jeff
is just so fantastic.

Oh, you're not that flexible,
are you?

No, not really.
Shit.

(JACQUI LAUGHS, JEFF GROANS)

Jeff is treating me how
I'd love to be treated as a woman.

He's cooked, he's cleaned
and he's already paid for a meal.

Like, literally, every meal,

he wants to make sure
I'm taken care of.

He's steamed my dress for me.

It's what I wished for.

Going into this experiment,
it's what I would have hoped for.

I would have expected my husband
to show up for me in this way.

I can touch my toes.

(GROANS)

That's actually impressive
for a guy.

Yeah, I've definitely been
coaching Ryan or giving him hints

on how I'd like to be treated,

and it's just difficult
to get through to him.

But Jeff's very on point. Um...

Well done. Bang.

He's...he's not a gym boy.

He's, like a fit boy, yeah,
which is what I like.

Yeah.

And while Jacqui seems quite content
with her partner swap,

back at the apartments...

(PHONE KEYBOARD CLACKING)

..it's a different mood
for Beth and Ryan.

(CRUNCHING)

(PHONE KEYBOARD CLACKING)

I think we had...actually
had a good sleep last night.

Mm-hm.

Being around Ryan has just
made me miss Teejay so much.

I miss his singing.

I miss his personality.

He doesn't snore.

But, the most important thing,
he's not Ryan.

(WHIMSICAL MUSIC)

You buy Jacqui a lot of flowers,
it looks like.

Yeah. Like, it's...

It's half and half.

Oh, does she buy you flowers?

No, she buys herself flowers.
Oh!

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

I'm going to be really honest.

I still don't understand
their relationship.

While Ryan's been keeping
a tight lid

on the details of his relationship,

across the hall, Paul has held
nothing back when it comes to his.

I definitely feel like
you had stuff on your chest

that you needed to get off.

He was very open with Awhina
about his wife

during yesterday's
honesty letter task

when he revealed a comment
Carina made to him in confidence.

She is a bit of a snob sometimes.

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?

(GLOOMY MUSIC)

I didn't like the comment
that were made

in regards to my twin sister
from Carina.

Will it change my opinion of her?
Yes.

There's definitely
a few things that she said

I would like her to clarify.

Um, so, I guess it's probably
a right time to, you know,

to bring things up and, you know,
put things on the table, I guess.

Paul's obviously got some things
that are eating up at him.

But now maybe he feels more, like,
confident in voicing his concerns

because he's had
a little bit of reassurance

that you're valid to feel that way.

And hard conversations
are how relationships grow.

Yeah.
Just ask Adrian and I.

Yeah.

MEL: Feedback week

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.

While this is confronting,
it could also be the very thing

that gives our couples
some much-needed clarity

over their relationships.

And the next feedback week task that
Jamie and Adrian will be tackling

is the honesty letter task,

which is an opportunity for them
to write their spouse a letter

detailing any concerns
about the relationship.

They'll then read it
to their swapped partners

for advice on how to
tackle the situation.

I'm done. Are you done?

Good timing.

(CHUCKLES)

(SOFT PIANO MUSIC)

I was very apprehensive
touching on this topic

because it's something

I know my husband doesn't
really like to talk about,

but I'm also like,

this is the opportunity
to talk about something

that does kind of
weigh on me sometimes,

and it's good to have
an outsider perspective.

"Dear Dave, in every relationship,
even the good ones,

"you'll always find areas to work on
and topics you shy away from.

"When I reflect on our relationship,
we are lucky to have so much good,

"but I'd like to expand
on the goodness via sex.

"Sex, as you know, to me,
is very important,

"but I have always been the one
likely to initiate intimacy.

"When it's happening,
we both really enjoy it,

"and that's why it makes me
a little bit more confused

"as to why
you don't want more of it".

(ADRIAN CHUCKLES)

Boom!

I'm gonna give you
some hard truths.

Yeah, go on.

So, me being a man, my mind
goes to probably a few things.

(FRAUGHT MUSIC)

He doesn't want you
getting too close to him,

so he keeps his distance.

And, the hardest one,
he's not attracted.

God, it's already...

It's already happening.
Yeah.

I just laid out the hard facts.

Um, if I was physically
and emotionally attracted to a girl,

I would want to be all over 'em,
unless his sex drive is not as high,

but I...
I find that hard to believe.

If you're physically attracted
to someone,

and you're getting along
just as well as they are,

it doesn't make sense to me
why they're not having sex.

My gut feeling is telling me
Dave is not as attracted to Jamie

as he makes out to be.

You got to ask yourself,
do you want that in a relationship?

Like, is that actually okay?
Do you want to settle?

These are things
that you need to ask yourself.

Sometimes, it's good to get
a perspective from someone

that's open to telling you
the hard truths,

something that you might
not want to hear.

Adrian doesn't hold back, and
I kind of respect that about him,

but I, honestly, I never
considered the potential

of like,
Dave maybe not being as attracted.

Because I think to myself...

Damn, it's my skin
that's been breaking out.

He's realised I'm actually a lot
more paler than I went in, hey?

You know, he wants that tan again.

He's like, "Get that tan on."
But...

I mean, God, I have let myself go
in this marriage.

I get where he's coming from

but, like, that's essentially
a conspiracy theory right now.

So, until Dave kind of confirms that
or insinuates that is the case,

I'm just not seeing him
not being attracted to me.

Um, I don't know.

It's like he's not
that sexual of a person.

(DISQUIETING MUSIC)

I can argue the point...

He's just not like that with you.

Now...

Imagine he got this ten out
of ten supermodel in his mind.

You know, this beautiful actress
or whatever,

would he be having sex
the same amount?

(MUSIC BUILDS THEN FADES)

(VERONICA LAUGHS)

(SIGHS AUDIBLY)

(TENSE MUSIC)

(UPLIFTING MUSIC)

It's feedback week

and, while Jamie has received
some brutal honesty from Adrian,

across town, Veronica is making the
most of her partner swap with Dave

by taking him out
for some quality time.

Cheers.

Cheers.

To leaving the apartment.

It is nice to get out
of those apartments.

Yeah, it's been good having,
like, a little break from it all.

It's nice to chat about it
to someone who gets it

because it can get
very, like, intense

and you can start to overthink.
and...you know?

It's not easy with Eliot, you know,
maybe I'm not chill enough for him.

Um, I mean, I've only...

I've only got a little, obviously,
a little period of time with you,

but, maybe after four weeks, I'd
be sick of you, too, but, I mean...

(CURIOUS MUSIC)

I don't think that's true at all,
I think...

I think you're pretty easy-going.
Thanks.

I think I am, too.
I think I'm pretty chill.

(VERONICA CACKLES)

I am. I'm a giggly person.
Shocking.

Haven't seen that side of me
for a while.

We're back.

The last few days,
it's been really, really great

and, yeah, I'm having a great time.

Dave's an attractive person.

Dave and I have
a very similar sense of humour.

(DAVE SNORTS)

He's ticking a lot of boxes,

but, like, you know, like,
I'm obviously not matched with him,

but, in terms of, like,
thinking about what I really want,

and, you know, if I had to
model someone that I wanted

on another person,
it probably would be Dave.

(INTROSPECTIVE MUSIC)

I think that we have, like,
similar personalities, though.

Yeah.

Like, we get each other's banter.

The jokes are there.
That's very important.

Oh, we definitely get along well,
I think,

'cause we sort of see eye to eye
on a lot of things

and can have a laugh.

No, I don't think anyone else
is, like, having this much fun.

Sorry, guys.

Sorry, not sorry.
Oh...

Eliot seemed to struggle
to get along with Veronica,

so, you know, was sort of a bit...
I was a bit wary of it at the start,

but, yeah,
she's actually pretty cool.

I think Veronica and I
are very similar.

She's a good person,
we have good banter

and getting your tyres pumped up
is good.

You're easy to get along with.

(FRAUGHT MUSIC)

(BOTH LAUGH)

Oh, boy.

Yeah, I've had a great time
with Veronica.

I think you needed someone
that you can sort of go,

"This person does hear me,"

and, you know, you're not going
crazy in that apartment with Eliot.

Yeah.

Like, it's very easy
spending time with Dave.

He's attentive.

He looks at me
when I come into the room.

We laugh.

Yeah.
(PLAYFULLY)

I'm happy that I have the lols back
for a short time.

Then we go back to Mrs Serious,
you know?

Back at the apartments,

Jamie and Adrian are ready
to be challenged by feedback week

once again with
the hard-hitting questions task.

"You will each be required
to write tough questions

"seeking your new pairing's opinions
about your relationship.

"These questions must be
well considered and hard hitting.

"Be brutally honest
and don't waste this opportunity

"to face the hard truths head on".

The hard-hitting questions task
will allow our participants

to learn how others
view their relationship,

the good and the bad.

Adrian's harsh words
from earlier today

have already highlighted one issue
in Jamie's relationship with Dave.

So, she's using this task
as an opportunity to delve deeper.

Adrian doesn't hold back,
he calls it.

He pretty much is telling me
I'm too ugly to root.

(TENSE MUSIC)

This is not a nice...
not a nice thought to ponder.

But, like, at the same time,
I appreciate he's being honest.

And now I've got all these questions
about Dave and I.

But, oh, my God, do I want to know?
Probably not.

Oh, my God.

(WHIMSICAL MUSIC)

I'm, like, genuinely curious
as to what you're going to say.

Say it. Give it to me straight.

All right, do you honestly
think Dave and I will last

beyond this experiment?

No.

I do genuinely think that you and
Dave have a real connection, 100%.

But, um...

..honestly...

The thing is, for me, like,
I see Dave

and I think Dave
holds back a little bit.

Like, I think, like, that's where
I'm getting conflicted.

Like, oh...

Like, would he really tell you
at times how he really feels?

I think we're pretty straight
with each other.

Like, he genuinely agrees with...
Most things, yeah, yeah.

Like, we share the same viewpoints.

Maybe there are things he doesn't
want to rock the boat with,

potentially, I don't know.

But, like, I personally don't think

he just tells me
what I want to hear.

(TENSE MUSIC BUILDS)

I'm hoping for the best
because right now, like,

the feelings are real.

But is it like one of
those things where people look at us

and they can see I'm more into him?

Well, I mean,
you dropped you love him to him.

I was like,
well, why didn't Dave say it?

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

I obviously have
stronger feelings for Dave

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

but I don't know
what Dave's pace is.

Like, I don't know.

And, after talking with Adrian,

I'm so in my head and I'm
questioning, like, everything.

Do you think Dave will tell me
that he loves me?

(PURSES LIPS)

No, he won't tell you.

I believe he cares for you.

I just don't think
he'll say it in this experiment.

Because, for me,
I'm like, if you say that,

like, you're...

And is he willing to do that
in front of the world?

(DISQUIETING MUSIC)

Yeah.
(MUSIC CONTINUES)

(MUSIC BUILDS)

But anyways...
Yeah.

That's that.
Yeah. I get that.

Still to come...

ADRIAN: We've got another task.
AWHINA: I thought we were done.

The final task...

Take the letter you wrote
and read it to your partner.

Uh...
You seem nervous.

Was it that bad?
Oh!

..with huge ramifications.

Oh, my God.

What?

Paul's letter.

CARINA: Did you read
that part to Awhina?

And Jamie demands answers.

Are we having a lack of sex because
you're not in the love stage?

I feel like...
Yes or no?

(DARK MUSIC ENDS WITH OMINOUS SIGH)

(UPLIFTING MUSIC)

It's the third and final day
of feedback week,

which also marks the end
of the partner-swap phase,

and, after three days apart,

our brides and grooms are itching
to return to their spouses.

Right, well, I'm going to go and get
packing so I can get out of here.

ASAP, get on it, I'm timing you.
Yeah.

I'm gonna run.

RYAN: Thank God.

I couldn't get Beth
to pack quick enough.

Oh, my God. Get me out of here.

(WHIMSICAL MUSIC)

What have I learnt from Ryan?

Erm...

(PURSES LIPS)

While Beth's ending her stay at
Ryan's with a lack of progress,

Eliot's time with Rhi
has made a huge difference.

I feel like I have some, like,
actionable strategies.

Yeah.

I feel a lot more optimistic.

I'm glad.

I really do hope that you and V
can find that middle ground.

Despite being the most reluctant
to participate,

even Carina has come
to appreciate her time with Teejay.

Have you enjoyed your time here?
I have, I have.

I feel like I've just received,
like, more reassurance from you.

Yeah.

You know, really easy to talk to
and you give really good advice.

Teejay's made my time here very
comfortable, and he's so funny,

and it's nothing to do with him
at all,

but I love routine,

so I'm ready to get back to
my routine with my husband.

BOTH: Bye!

Shoes!

But it's safe to say
that not all of the wives

are in a hurry to return home.

Oh, my dress.

Thank you for steaming this.
All good.

Jacqui is hoping for a late checkout
from her stay at Hotel Jeff.

Hotel Jeff has really been amazing,
by the way.

What's my...what's my hotel rating?

Oh, definitely five star.

Jeff is just so hospitable.

Are you excited to go home?
Uh, yeah, it'll be nice.

Yeah?
Yeah.

Looking forward to seeing Ryan?
Yeah.

You look nervous.

I know, deep down,

I have to have some really tough
conversations with Ryan.

But I really want to lay out
all my concerns on the table

in order to figure out whether we
are compatible in the real world.

All right, well, should we get
some of your bags and, uh...?

I better get my...
I'll go get some stuff.

And, over in Dave's apartment,

Veronica is also
stalling her departure.

(LIGHT-HEARTED MUSIC)

You behave.

Don't point that thing at me.

(VERONICA GIGGLES)

Spending these three days
with Dave has made me realise

that actually chatting with someone
and being able to have a joke

and a laugh should come easy.

I've just (BLEEP) put things
in random...like my mouthwash.

I'm gonna need that.

Yeah, Veronica's been great.
It's been fun.

(BOTH SIGH)

It's been really easy-going
and just conversations flow,

and we've had...had a ball.

Um, I'm just gonna do a schweep.

(WHIMSICAL MUSIC)

This is the slowest packing ever.

(BOTH LAUGH)

(UPBEAT MUSIC)

As each of the wives begin
reuniting with their husbands...

Wifey!

You look so nice!

(EXAGGERATED LAUGHTER)
Oh!

I missed you.
Missed you, too.

..the second phase of
feedback week begins...

Come in. Welcome home.
Come in.

(TEEJAY LAUGHS)

Hello.
Hi, darling?

..with the chance for our couples
to debrief each other

on their time apart.

How was it?

She comes in day one,
she brings a dress in.

She goes, "I was wondering
if you could steam this for me."

Did you?
And I steamed it.

(LAUGHS UPROARIOUSLY)

How was your time with Paul?

It was a lot of fun.

Was it?
Yeah.

(LIGHT-HEARTED MUSIC)

Sounds like you had a good time.
Yeah, I didn't want to come back.

I didn't want you to come back.
Oh...

Well, I can go back, if you like.

You want coffee?
Yeah, I haven't had one.

Thanks.

Where's the...?
Where's our...?

Why is that over here?

(NERVOUS MUSIC)

It's... I think we're both happy
to see each other,

but it's also, like, so weird.

Where's this...?
What is going on today?

Are they clean in here?

No.

I'm like, there's obviously
all these things

we have to actually talk about
that we haven't talked about yet.

So, I feel like
I can't relax just yet.

Dave, two nights
and my whole kitchen is a mess.

God, I've missed you.

(UPLIFTING MUSIC)

(LATCH CLICKS)

Oh!

(PAUL LAUGHS)

She's running in.

(BOTH LAUGH)

No, I didn't.

Mm!

I'm back home with Paul.

Yay, I am.

(BOTH LAUGH)

Mm.

I want to soak him all up.

I'm really excited to just enjoy
my time with Paul, my husband.

Well...
Mm.

Tell me, how was it?

How are you feeling?
It was...

It was good.
Good.

Like, Teejay...
'Cause I know you were so...

Like, I just, honestly,
when you left, I felt so bad

because, like,
when I saw you crying

and I felt how uncomfortable
you were and how overwhelmed,

like, this whole thing was for you.
I was like, "Oh, God."

Yeah. It wasn't my favourite...
Yeah.

..task by the experts.

How was it being with Awhina?

It's been...it's been weird
not having you around.

It was, yeah, strange.

Every night going to bed and not...

just not feeling you,
not having you there,

I was like, "This is weird."

And, you know, like you said,
you know, before, before you left,

you know, it's like
this has been our little safe zone.

It's been our little bubble.
It's your little nest, so...

Well, we're never doing that again.
Nuh!

Don't be doing that again ever.
I don't think it's gonna happen.

I'm not going anywhere.
Neither are you.

How did you go with the tasks
and that?

Uh...

Paul asked me a lot of questions
in regards to whether or not

I think Carina is being real
and, like, her true self,

'cause he said, "Sometimes,
she can be quite judgemental."

You know, she said...she said stuff
about my twin sister,

like, judging her 'cause
she's covered in tattoos,

and she doesn't know her.

She looked at a photo of her
and said,

"I can't believe you went for
that kind of calibre."

What, gorgeous, beautiful,
doesn't live at home?

Yeah.
Carina...

It shows the level of maturity
someone has

if they're talking about
someone else.

That comment Carina made about Cleo
sort of surprised me a little bit,

I'm not going to lie.

Their cracks are starting
to show now.

We'll see where it goes from here,
I guess.

PAUL: What do you feel like
you've learned?

Is there anything that you...that
you've taken from this whole...?

Um, I know that we have
a really strong, like, relationship.

It made me miss you so much.

Aw...
And that, like...

That's nice.
Yeah.

I'm grateful for you.
Aw.

And that I really like you
more than I thought I would.

Really? Oh! Oh!

Oh, that's actually cute.

(TENSE MUSIC)

I missed him a lot.

Mm-hm.

It was a bit of a challenge.

At first, I felt insecure,
just the concoction of knowing

that Paul had a fling
with Awhina's sister, twin sister.

But it's all done,
the tasks are complete

and, hopefully,
no other tasks come our way.

(KNOCK AT DOOR)

(GASPS)
What the hell?

Another one?

Oh, my God, it never stops.

ADRIAN: Task.
AWHINA: I thought we were done.

Do you know what's lovely?
What?

Seeing your name on a letter
next to mine again.

"Hi, Beth and Teejay.

"We hope you were able to
gain a fresh perspective

"on your relationship
during feedback week".

"We asked you to share something
you haven't said to your partner yet

"because you may have been worried
about how they're going to take it.

"For this task, take the letter
you wrote whilst in your new pairing

"and read it to your partner".

"We trust you will take this task
seriously and be open and honest.

"This will be hard,

"but it's important
to take the feedback on board.

"The experts".

What?

Oh, my God.
What?

Paul's letter.

(TENSE MUSIC)

"Hi, Carina and Paul".
Aw.

(PAUL LAUGHS)

"In your new pairing,

"we asked you to be truly honest
about your partner

"and discuss something that's
been weighing on your mind".

"For this task,
take the letter you wrote..."

(PAUL CHUCKLES)

"..while in your new pairing
and read it to your partner".

(GLOOMY MUSIC)

"The experts".

(CLICKS TONGUE PLAYFULLY)

Dun-dun!

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

Uh...

You seem nervous and you giggled.
Was it that bad?

Oh!

"She is a bit of a snob sometimes".

It's certainly
going to be confronting.

Um...
Do you have a worry?

No, I mean, not really.

"..can come across as very judgy".

Is there something I don't know?

(UNSETTLING MUSIC)

"She made a comment about Cleo.

"She said, "I didn't know you would
go for that kind of calibre".

Yeah, you'll...

I knew that was gonna happen.

(MUSIC CONTINUES,
PAUL LAUGHS VIGOROUSLY)

(UPLIFTING MUSIC)

It's feedback week and, with
the partner-swap stage now over,

the couples are tasked with
reading their honesty letters again,

but this time to their spouse.

"I feel like
the experts truly listened

"when they asked me
what I needed in a partner.

"You're fun, outgoing and as
goofy and as crazy as I am.

"As soon as I met you,
I instantly felt comfortable.

"In our time during the experiment,
you've become my safe space".

Yeah, it feels like
we've written the same things.

"During the time we've spent
together getting to know each other,

"we have established a really
strong friendship foundation

"of which I'm super grateful for.

"I wholeheartedly believe that there
is no-one else in this experiment

"I could have built this with.

"Sincerely, your husband".

(BOTH LAUGH)

I love that.

We wrote about the same things...
We did.

..in our own ways.
We did.

I actually love that
nothing surprised me in them.

Yeah, because, if you came here
and you're like,

"You're a piece of shit,
blah, blah, blah..."

I would never do that.
(TEEJAY LAUGHS)

But reading their honesty letters
won't be quite so easy for everyone.

(TENSE MUSIC)

Paul dug deep.
No, he did.

He dug deep,
hoping Carina wouldn't read it.

They're in a healthy place.
He was going to address it...

Cleary, they're not, though,
if he's gotta write these things.

(PAUL TRILLS LIPS NERVOUSLY)
CARINA: It's okay.

(SOMBRE MUSIC)

Ah!

God, it's long.

Uh, yeah, two pages.

Oh...

(CHUCKLES)

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

Uh, well,
this will be interesting.

Oh, God.

Uh...
Oh, well.

This whole feedback week

has probably been, like,
the most challenging one

out of every single task
that we've had to do so far.

You know what I mean?

Yeah, it's not easy because we're
so deep into the experiment now.

Like, I feel like it's even harder
to, like, bring things up

or whatever,
you know what I mean, so...

Conflict.

Oh, well.
Let's do it.

A lot of the things
that I had in my letter,

obviously, were things that
were heavily bothering me,

and they are things
that have been...

that I've been carrying for
a little bit and, you know,

and then, yeah, they've been
real concerns of mine, I guess.

But this is gonna be
certainly very confronting.

Yeah.

(SUCKS TEETH)

(SIGHS)
Okay.

"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.

"The reason why
I'm referring to this

"is because
I'm having a gut feeling

"that Carina isn't
her full self with me sometimes.

(TENSE MUSIC)

"I worry that sometimes
Carina puts on her happy mask

"'cause she really cares and worries
about how she's being perceived.

"I feel like
she wants to be perceived

"as, like, the perfect,
prude, conservative girl".

(PAUL CHUCKLES)
Okay.

"There's been multiple times where
I've noticed some contradiction

"between the way
she portrays herself

"and some of her behaviours
or actions.

"Like the comment that she's
not into tattoos but has some,

"and her celebrity crush is
almost covered from head to toe.

"I feel like she's just
playing it safe with me,

"and wants it to be smooth sailing
to avoid drama or confrontation".

(UNEASY MUSIC)

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

and, if anyone's sweeping
things under the rug, he clearly is

because he hasn't brought
any of those things up to me.

"I've got a few examples of
things that have sort of, you know,

"made me feel a bit weird.

"So, there was an example
when, you know, like,

"I wanted to take you for lunch,
you'd check out the place,

"and the place looked too dated
and you seemed to be put off by it.

"And I remember thinking, like,
"Why does it matter?"

"Or even that comment that you made
when I told you

"the reason why I knew Awhina,
I told you about Cleo,

"and then you said to me that you...

"You said to me
that you were surprised

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

(TENSE MUSIC BUILDS)

"Um, yeah,
so I feel like she is a bit of a..."

So, what am I...?
"Yeah, I feel like she..."

(BLEEP).

(STAMMERS)

Um...
Uh...

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

"I feel like she is,
sometimes, uh...

Yes.

"Um, I feel like she is...

"And she can come across
as very...as very judgy.

"Now, on the positive side, I've
seen that beautiful side of Carina

"at the last commitment ceremony

"when she is
vulnerable and sincere..."

(VOICE FADES, TENSE MUSIC RACES)

A bit of a slap in the face.

Bit, um...

Shock, a bit of shock.

Yeah.

I'm just like, "Wow, I can't believe
this is what he thinks of me."

(DARK MUSIC)

You right?

Are you sure?
Mm.

Promise?
I'm just digesting.

Just don't take it personally.
Just...

Yeah.

The exercise was to, you know,
to express concerns,

and I'm not someone who's going to
judge someone by the way they look

or where they're from,
the way they live.

Yeah, that just
completely against...

goes against what I believe
and who I am, so...

which is why I wanted
to raise that concern.

It wasn't easy,
but I guess it had to be done, so...

Okay.
Yeah.

Hm.

Where do you want me to start?

It was just that comment that
you made about Awhina's sister

when you said, "Oh, I didn't think

"you would go for
that kind of calibre."

It was like, well, "What do you...

"What do you mean
by that kind of calibre?"

No, I think I told...

Like, when we were married
'cause we got married and...

No, but, like, you're deflecting.
That's not...

No, I'm not deflecting.

I'm getting there,
I'm getting there.

So, the whole Cleo thing,

obviously, it's going to
make me feel a certain way

when my husband has been with
a girl that's in the experiment,

and has been...
had a thing with her sister.

So, that... obviously, that's
gonna put my little guard up.

I'm gonna... I'm gonna be a bit
defensive because it's awkward,

like, yeah, that just...

Her sister isn't even there.
Yeah, but, Paul...

She's not even here
and that was two years ago.

I know, but it's still, like,
I'm sorry,

but, like, it's just not me.

There's obviously context
behind the things that I said

and, the things that I said to him,
I felt I could...

I said it in confidence to him.

(PAUL CHUCKLES)

Are you okay? Yeah?

I just wasn't really expecting that.

I can see it in your eyes,
you're pissed off.

(PAUL CHUCKLES,
CARINA CLICKS TONGUE)

Huh?

Oh...
No, I'm fine.

No happy mask. No mask.

Just...
Okay.

..being myself.
Fair enough.

(UNNERVING MUSIC)

I feel like he judged me.

He said, "I judge,"
and I felt like he judged me.

Yeah.

Bye.

It's okay.
(PAUL WHISPERS)

Yeah, I just need to read this more,

so I know I'm going to
get asked questions.

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

Yeah.

That I've what?

No.

No. No, genuinely not.
What, did I miss anything?

(QUIET, UNSETTLING MUSIC)

(MUSIC ENDS WITH DRAMATIC FLOURISH)

(UPLIFTING MUSIC)

After a long three days with Jacqui
during partner swap,

Jeff is excited to be reunited
with wife Rhi.

Is it nice to be home
back doing chores?

(BOTH LAUGH)

Yeah, it's nice to be back,
definitely.

Yeah.
I did miss it.

And this actually
feels like home now.

Yeah, it does, isn't it?

Rhi is home. Rhi is home.
(SINGSONG)

I'm so happy Rhi is home.

Oh, we're not filming, are we?

Oh, we are?

Uh, perfect.

Are you nervous about
reading your letter?

I am, yeah.

(GENTLY LILTING MUSIC)

I opened up, uh,
a little bit in it, so...

Mm-hm.
Yeah.

Okay.

Being away from Rhi, it made me
realise how much effort and time

and everything
I've put into this relationship

in this experiment.

Like, it's a lot.

I'm at the age now where I do
need to think about having kids,

and I want to settle down.

I don't want to really date again
if I don't have to.

Like, hopefully, this is it.

So, if this relationship falls over,
then it's a very scary prospect

for me to sort of
pick myself back up again.

All right, here we go.

Um, "Rhi, I really want
our relationship to work,

"but not knowing how it will
translate into the real world

"after this experiment
does worry me.

"Rhi", you...

(LAUGHS)

"..has never been head over heels
in love with someone.

"So, sometimes I wonder if I am
going to be that guy for her.

"I've put so much
into this relationship,

"especially emotionally,
so, if it fails at my age,

"I'm not sure
I could come back from it.

"I'm at the stage in my life

"where I'm ready to be
with someone forever.

"Hopefully, I'm not alone
with how I feel,

"and that all the effort and emotion
I've invested isn't one-sided,

"and that I am truly building
something meaningful".

(GENTLY LILTING MUSIC)

I can see how that can be
a concern for you.

And, yeah, like,

I can't say that I've been
fully, like, in love before

and in a relationship
that I haven't had a doubt about,

but, like, yeah,
I'm telling the truth

when I do say that, like,
right now I don't have any.

I am at a point in my life, too,
where I want to settle down.

I don't want to date anymore.

I want to, you know, have kids,
like, in a couple of years.

I feel like Jeff and I have both
given this experiment our all,

and, you know,
I'm really proud of where we are

and how we are feeling
about each other.

Like, we're both happy.

We both are at that point
of, like, wanting to settle down.

What's to say it's not
going to work on the outside?

Just hearing you saying
you've got no doubts now,

that's, um, like, amazing for me

because, like, I don't have
any doubts at the moment either,

and I'm actually extremely confident
that...

It'll work.
..it'll work out.

I really want this to work, and
I want to be with someone forever.

You know, that's really scary,

and for me to voice that to Rhi
was probably even scarier.

But for her to give me
great reassurance

that she sort of views
our relationship the same as me,

we can both see a life outside
of this experiment together.

You're so cute.

Yeah, that was, uh...

It was nice.

That's good.

I think we're on a...
I think we're in a good road.

Yeah, me too. I do too.

Thank you.

Yeah.
(JEFF SIGHS)

Yeah, this week has made me
really appreciate Rhi.

Hearing Jacqui and her relationship
and all the issues she has,

like, makes me
really appreciate Rhi, to be honest.

Jacqui's letter was
absolutely cooked.

Did she say lots of things?

She said heaps.

The things she wrote in the letter

has given me a great insight now
into their relationship.

I feel bad for Ryan.

That letter was, like,
two and a half pages

of negative stuff
about the relationship.

Was the stuff really bad?

There was some stuff that was bad,

but there was some stuff
that was just...

Odd.
..bizarre.

(TENSE MUSIC RACES)

RYAN: Welcome back to
your rightful place.

Well, you know what?

We're going to have to
probably sage this place

to get rid of some of
the negative energy.

JACQUI: Oh, really?
(RYAN LAUGHS)

It does feel pretty amazing to know
that Beth's out, my wife's back in.

Gonna restore the balance,
restore the, like, the happiness,

because, when Jacqui and I are good,
we're spectacular.

Now, you know what, like...
Yeah.

She didn't...
She didn't swear at me once.

Really?
Yeah. Not even once.

You know?
Wow. Yeah, interesting.

Jeff was just, like,
absolutely kind and considerate,

and he literally cooked for me,
he cleaned the kitchen.

He, like, steamed my dress.
He took me out for dinner.

He insisted that I take the bed.

Hotel Jeff was so fantastic.

Jeff showed up better than the way
that Ryan shows up for me.

I think he just needs to understand
what I need from him

in order to make that happen.

I got a lot of advice
from Jeff, as well.

I imagine.
Yeah.

I imagine you would have.
Yeah, yeah.

I'd love to know what was discussed.
Yeah.

Let's do it.
I'm ready.

"Dear Ryan.

(UNEASY MUSIC)

"My biggest fear is marrying a man
that ends up stubborn

"and stuck in his own ways and
beliefs as the world moves on.

"I'm concerned you've built
your sense of self

"on top of outdated beliefs
about power and masculinity.

"Your extreme sense of
masculine pride and fragile ego

"are difficult to deal with
and come at my expense".

Fragile?

"I'm concerned you need
a submissive partner,

"and will only work in
a relationship with a tradwife,

"which is a term
for traditional wife

"who submits on everything".

You brought that term into it.
Oh, my God.

Yeah.

"I'm concerned that you financially
contribute less than I will

"because I'm not convinced that
you have enough financial skills,

"and I'm concerned that I will be
the primary breadwinner,

"putting you in a place
where you don't want to be,

"which might be
the primary caregiver".

Okay. All right.
Well, I'm glad you got all that out.

And I'm so glad you went to Jeff
and said all that.

Like, what the hell?

As soon as I think
we're in a good place,

or as soon as I think
we've made progress,

she says or does something
which cuts the legs out.

She's bringing in, like,

"oh, I just... I want us to be,
like, financially stable, you know?"

I just won't stand for that shit,
I just won't.

Come on. Like, did she buy
her first house before 30?

No, no, she didn't.

So, concerning

the whole primary breadwinner,
primary caregiver thing, right?

Yeah.

I don't understand where you're
coming from in that regard.

I feel like you've got a very
sensitive sense of pride and ego.

(WHIMSICAL MUSIC)

And when...
What's...?

What's the problem, exactly?

I guess one of my questions is
is, like, theoretically,

if it came to it, would you be happy
being a stay-at-home dad?

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

No.
Why?

Being a stay-at-home dad is not
what I'm going to do with my life.

You know very well
what I want to do with my life,

and you know that a stay-at-home dad
is the most ridiculous thing.

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

I can't believe we're even
having this conversation.

Since the age of 18,

I have worked full-time in
operations, in sales, in management

in stormwater.

I want to leave a legacy, all right?
What kind of legacy?

About masculine power?

No.

What if I ended up in a coma?

Who's going to look after our kids?

Would you leave your job
to look after our children?

(CURIOUS MUSIC)

I will never be a stay-at-home dad.

It's insulting to think
that you would even...

that I would even consider that.

Like, my God.

Would you be a stay-at-home dad?

What's next?

Oh, Ryan, how would you feel
about being a trophy husband?

Jesus.

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

(GENTLE MUSIC)

After a constructive three days
living with Rhi,

Eliot is now optimistic

about how he and wife Veronica
can move forward together.

I feel like Rhi gave me
some really good advice.

Like, she was very...

Diplomatic.
Yeah, very diplomatic.

Yeah.
Very diplomatic.

I knew she would be.
Yeah.

And I think it was refreshing.

Yeah, when Rhi mentioned
that we need to, kind of,

come together in a softer way,
that really resonated with me.

It's really interesting
when you kind of see it

from an outside perspective because
I think there's definitely things

I can do better, as well, with me
and V to be able to move forward.

She did mention, like,

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.

Just, yeah, upping your game
a little bit there.

Yeah.
See how you go.

That's really constructive.

(RHI CHUCKLES)

I kind of woke up this morning
a bit more optimistic,

and I think the biggest thing
that's changed for me

is that, like,
I want to try to work on this.

So, do you want a cup of bone broth
or something?

Um, no, I'm all right.

I had... I just had a coffee,
so I feel a bit caffeinated.

I want to get things back on track
with V.

And, with Eliot's hope
for his marriage restored,

it's time for the couple
to tackle the honesty letter task.

Honesty letters.

Should we do it, then?

(DEEP SIGH)

"Dear Eliot.

"Since coming into the experiment,

"you and I have faced
many challenges.

"One thing I can't deny is
the difference in openness

"I notice between you and I.

"In only 24 hours, Dave and I
have shared more with each other

"in effortless communication,

"and I personally feel that
I have learned more about him

"in this short time than
I have about you in four weeks".

I'm not trying to draw a comparison
or anything,

but, like, Dave has made me
realise it should come easy

and it shouldn't be this...

it shouldn't be as hard as it is
with Eliot and I.

"I don't have to prompt Dave
to open up.

"He tells me things
because he wants to talk to me.

"When Dave and I had conversed,
it's effortless,

"and the communication flows easily
because he is present

"and not planning
his next statements,

"and he opens up along the way which
again invites further conversation.

"There are some basic things, too,

"like making eye contact with me
and being attentive.

"Dave makes me feel
connected and seen,

"but unfortunately I don't
feel the same way with you".

Yeah, Veronica wrote a lot
about Dave in her letter,

which is, you know, interesting

when you're writing a letter about
the concerns about our relationship.

This makes me wonder
if our relationship has legs

and if we will be able to
overcome this communication

and connection barrier.

I was waiting for the good part.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

So, you didn't do the good?

What do you mean, the good?

Well, the letter was, like, concerns
and then good things, as well.

(SOMBRE MUSIC)

I don't know what to say.

Like, it sucks that
you feel that way.

Um, obviously, you know,
the past couple of weeks,

I felt like there were a lot of
moments where we were connecting,

but, you know, obviously,
that's not the case

from your perspective.

No, that's not what I'm saying.

Attentiveness is, like, just
an awareness of me in the house,

just an awareness of me in general,
like, I exist.

Mm.

(PENSIVE MUSIC)

Okay. Attentiveness. So...

I don't have the dictionary
definition of attentiveness, Eliot.

No, I don't want that.
I want your definition.

Well, like, I'll give you an example
from Dave.

Mm.

I was eating and he was like,
"Do you want some hot sauce?"

And I was like, "Yeah,
I'll have some hot sauce. Great."

He's like,
"Do you want some cheese?"

"I'm going to have some cheese.
Do you want some cheese?"

"Do you want me to make it for you?
You want me to heat it up?"

Mm.
"Do you want me to...?" Like...

And then, when I finished eating,

he came over and took the plate
to the sink.

And then I went to wash up
and he was like,

"No, don't wash up. You leave that."

Right.

Do you know what I mean?

Like a restaurant experience?

(TENSE MUSIC)

Okay, Eliot.

It's so interesting
that you would say that.

What an interesting choice
of words from you, Eliot.

Let's just bring the intensity down.

Like, we can chat.

I tried to connect with your letter.

Do you think that
that's appropriate

that you're patronising me, Eliot?

When you do that...

Do you think that that's appropriate
that you're patronising me, Eliot?

It sounds like you're
learning lines from your movie.

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

Yeah, so, turns out we still
can't be in the same room together.

You are honestly, like...

You're the past tense, though.
No, we're done here.

Honestly, like,
your level of disrespect

is unlike anything
I've ever experienced in my life.

I want nothing to do with you.

You have no respect.

And I'm not interested
in pursuing anything with you.

You're beneath me.
And the Oscar goes to...

..Veronica.

Amazing.

No, that was the perfect ending.

Like you really, like, went
the absolute opposite direction

of what the experts
are trying to go.

Eliot. Eliot.

I've just spent three days
with a normal person

who's interested in
connecting with me,

and you are like
talking to a brick wall.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(GENTLE MUSIC)

As feedback week comes to a close,

Jamie still has Adrian's
brutal words ringing in her ears.

I'm, like, a little bit
in my head right now.

Like, I've essentially had days

to, like, stew on
potential conversations.

Having that perspective
on what's going on,

it really did make me think
about my relationship with Dave

and where we were at.

When I told Dave I loved him,
he didn't say "I love you" back.

And Dave just doesn't
initiate any intimacy.

I'm constantly pursuing my husband.

Adrian said this to me.

Adrian said, you know,
I think Dave is not that into me

or he doesn't have
progressing feelings.

So, I'm... I am very anxious to have
this conversation about the letter

because now I've got so many
questions and I want the answers.

I'm curious to see
what you put in your letter.

I...
You seem very worried.

Why are you worried?
'Cause I've got a lot of questions.

It's like...

Like, I've done, like,
a lot of thinking, so here we are.

(TENSE MUSIC)

Different perspectives.

I'm sure you've got
different perspectives, too.

I'm sure it made you,
like, think, as well.

Do you have any idea what
I maybe would have spoken about?

No. Not really.

Okay.

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

"Dear Dave.

"When I reflect on our relationship,
we are lucky to have so much good.

"But, in that, I'd like to expand
on the goodness via sex.

"Sex, as you know, to me,
is very important.

"It's how I connect with my partner,

"and is an act that is
only for my relationship.

"I've always been the one
likely to initiate intimacy,

"which I don't mind initiating,
but, when it is constantly me,

"it starts to make me
feel an imbalance.

"I want to know that we both want
to be with each other in that way.

"It makes me confused as to
why you don't want more of it.

"Do you maybe have doubts?"

(MUSIC BUILDS THEN FADES)

I guess this is what
feedback week is about,

a time to bring up issues,

but I feel like there's certain ones
that you should keep between us.

It's not something for
another husband to sort of hear.

You know, obviously, it's a...
it's a huge, huge thing,

and that you've brought it up
into here.

Being brought up like this...

..I have...
like, my heart hurts a little bit.

Yeah, It hurts to be
questioned like that.

Yeah, I mean, I think it's like...

I've... like I've expressed
from the start,

it's not a massive part of my...

like, who I am,
the sex life sort of thing,

but it doesn't mean
I haven't tried to initiate it.

I feel like...
You don't.

I haven't?
You've...like, two occasions.

All right, you want to
let me finish or not?

I don't think it's...

Like, I'm trying to talk
to you on a level.

Don't get so worked up.

(DRAMATIC MUSICAL BOOM)

You are a very confident person
when it comes to sex and all that,

and I'm not...
do you think I am?

Yeah I know, but, like...

Like, answer that. Like...
But, like...

You are very confident
in expressing it.

It's not like we're in
the beginning of this, Dave.

I have not been a fully sexually
expressive person throughout my life

and I think you need to understand

that people's sex drives
are different

and people will get in their heads,

and it's not easy for some people
to express it like it is for you.

I'm questioning the feelings part,

which I think
I'm fair to question it.

I think that's really confronting
for me to hear, that's all.

I'm questioning it.
Like, I need to know.

Maybe, like, that's something...

Maybe it is because
you're not feeling it,

and that's why, you know,
the sex thing is an issue

or, you know, like, you...

In your vows, you're like,
"I'm going to buy you flowers."

Like, maybe that's why
you don't do those stuff

because you don't have
those feelings for me,

and that's okay,
you just need to tell me.

(GENTLE MUSIC)

I do, I really do care about you,
and I really...

You can care about me all you want,
but those feelings,

those feelings,

I'm not saying it has to be love,

but that desire to be with me
in that way.

And that's why I'm like,
is that why we're not having sex?

Like, those feelings
just aren't there?

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

I think that's a really, really
terrible thing to say to me.

Like, I think that...

I'm asking you.

Yeah, but I think that's
a terrible thing to say.

(MUSIC INTENSIFIES)

I don't know,
that just hurt a little bit

that you're questioning
the whole thing.

(MUSIC FADES)

I wasn't satisfied with
the answers I received.

I don't know if I buy it, like,
I just don't know if I buy it.

If those real feelings
aren't moving forward,

like, I need to know.

If they're not, I need to know.

I need reassurance,
and I feel like that conversation

didn't really give me
that reassurance.

Yeah, well...

Like I've said all along, the sex,
it's not a ten out of ten for me.

That's not that important to me.

(PENSIVE MUSIC)

I'm not talking about
my feelings on sex.

I'm talking about
your feelings of me.

Yeah, but you're questioning it
because of that.

Correct?
100%.

How you show up there is...

is a reflection of,
generally speaking, your feelings.

But I'm more deeper and I like to...

Yeah, but I'm deep.

Like, this is who I am.

I'm not a...

I'm not all about the sex
every...every day.

I just don't understand it.

You're telling me that, like,
this is the best it gets with you?

Like, you're just never
going to have that desire?

Pretty much.

(MUSIC BUILDS)

I feel like it'd make more sense
to me...

I feel like...
..if there was a feeling disconnect.

The fact that you...
And you didn't really...

The fact that you questioned...
come from Adrian,

and then you're questioning
our whole relationship.

It's not...
Don't... It's not Adrian.

And this is...
Yeah, okay, sure.

It's not Adrian.

I asked for his perspective
on things

'cause these are things
I've been struggling with.

Mm-hm.
And he gave perspective on it.

I looked at...
I looked at Adrian, and I'm like,

"I don't understand.
It doesn't make sense to me.

"Can you help it make sense?"

Because I'm so much more deep,
I feel like sex and all those things

are connected to all those feelings,
as well.

So, then you're...

So, then you're saying
we don't have that much sex

because you're not right
in your feels?

I'm not there yet.

You're in a different spot
to where I am.

So you said you loved me
six weeks into this.

I'm not there.

I'm not there, I'm not there.

So, are we having a lack of sex

because you're not
in the love stage?

I feel like...

Yes or no?
Yes.

That makes more sense to me,

and that's what I said
when I came in.

Yeah, well...

(SOMBRE MUSIC)

(JAMIE SCOFFS)

What the (BLEEP)?

This is the first time
in this experiment

I've questioned
whether Dave and I will work.

Okay.

Excellent.

At least we got there.

We might not be able
to come back from that.

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

(DARK MUSIC)

As feedback week ends,
the ramifications continue.

Carina is finally ready
to confront Paul

about the parts of
his honesty letter

that he didn't read out to her.

(BLOWS RASPBERRY)

That wasn't the...

I'm so sure that wasn't...

It wasn't easy, right?
(CARINA CHUCKLES)

Huh?
For me or for you?

The "snob" word he used.

He said I'm a...
I can be a snob.

Um, yeah,
that's a pretty powerful word,

and I feel like he should
have just said it as it is.

You know, he's obviously feeling
some sort of way

while he was writing the letter,

so he should have just said it
out loud.

Well, I re-read your letter.
Yeah.

And why did you miss out
the part of saying I was a snob?

You didn't mention that.
Because when I... Yeah, okay.

That'll... Yeah.

When I...

Yeah, when I wrote the word
and then, when I re-read,

when I re-read the letter,
I was literally thinking,

"Okay, that's probably
a bit, like, excessive,

"it's probably a bit too much,"
which is why I didn't read it,

because I was like,
"That's actually unnecessary."

Yeah.

Did you read that part to Awhina
or did you word it differently?

(TENSE MUSIC)

Yeah, I read it like that.

Yeah, so...

Yeah.

I'm sorry.

Mm.

Yeah.
Yeah.

Okay.

(DISQUIETING MUSIC)

Um, I didn't want
to read it out to her

because, you know, to be fair,

I wasn't, like, 100% sure
of the exact meaning of snob,

but I just knew it was
a bit of a strong word.

Well, like, I do know
the meaning of snob,

but it's like...

A part of me was like,
oh, it's not, like...

Is it an insult
or is it not an insult?

When I wrote the word "snob",
like, I...

The meaning of it, I was thinking,

maybe that's probably
a bit too strong of a word,

so that's why I didn't
want to read that again.

I was like, ooh....

Because, yeah, just...
in my head, I was like,

that's...yeah, probably
a bit too much, but I...yeah.

(TENSE MUSIC)

But where does, like, the idea
of a snob come from, like, where?

Because judging Awhina's sister
as being that kind of calibre,

that's...that's a bit
of a snob comment.

But in my, like, in my mind...

I came from a place where
I was, like, insecure about that,

but I shouldn't have said that.

I shouldn't have said that.
It wasn't the right thing to say.

Okay, that makes me
genuinely feel a lot better.

It was a lead-up of things that made
me, like, be a little bit defensive.

If you genuinely meant that,
then I appreciate that

and that makes me feel better.

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

Yeah.

Okay, well, great constructive
criticism and feedback.

(CARINA SIGHS)

I feel like I'm brutally
embarrassed because the comment

I made about Awhina's sister,
it was heat of the moment.

Obviously, like...

(UNSETTLING MUSIC)

This experiment just keeps
throwing some insane challenges.

Like, I'm just...
(BLOWS RASPBERRY)

It's...that was probably, like,
the toughest one, I feel, by far.

Yeah, it was hard.

It was really hard.

Confronting.

Tomorrow night...

(JAMIE SIGHS)

(GLOOMY MUSIC)

It's a sombre mood
at the dinner party...

JAMIE: This is killing me.

AWHINA: I felt really sad when
I seen Jamie was by herself.

BETH: They've been so solid.

This is just shocking,
to be quite honest.

(GLASS DINGS)
Dinner is served.

..before...

You threw me under the bus
with Awhina.

Are you going to take accountability
for that, Paul?

..Carina calls out Paul.

Yeah, but that's not on me,
that's on you.

It's made me feel like
I cannot trust you right now.

Then...

(SOMBRE MUSIC)

MEL: Gosh, Dave's so different.

RYAN: I've never heard
this side of Dave before.

JOHN: He's got a wall up.
He's detached.

AWHINA: Who is that man?
That's not the Dave I've met.

..Dave under the microscope.

I'm planning a future with you

and you were telling me today,
you were like, "I don't..."

Those feelings
haven't progressed for you.

When did you want to tell me that?

Jamie bares her soul
as she fights for her marriage.

It's... It's just a struggle
at the moment, so...

That's why I didn't tell you.
Really?

(JAMIE SOBS)
No!

He's hurt me so much.

Who am I trusting with my heart?

That's not okay.
