CARINA: Deep down, all I want
is love and to love someone...

RHI: That feeling in my stomach,

that feeling of knowing
that you've found your person.

NARRATOR: 12 weeks ago...

JAMIE: (GASPS) Yes!
Sorry, Dad.

..24 singles across Australia...

Hey, Rhi.
Hi, Jeff.

..took a life-changing leap of faith.

WOMAN: They're twins!
(CHEERING)

..marrying a stranger
in the search for true love.

Here is a spare key to my apartment.
(LAUGHS)

RYAN: I'll put you third.

(CRIES)

LAUREN: He's leaving.

And after three months...

..of one of the most remarkable
experiments...

Who are you calling a mean girl?

JACQUI: Why don't you want to be
someone great?

CARINA: Get your shit and leave!
EXPERTS: Oooh!

(GLASS TINKLES)

..our remaining six couples
attended their final dinner party.

Awhina and Adrian imploded

when they met
who they could've been matched with.

Let's not hide behind
this challenge.

I am not the right person.

What the hell does that mean?

Like, if you're truly happy
with your relationship,

you wouldn't have gone on the date.

I wasn't thinking straight
and I'm so sorry for that.

Paul expressed his remorse

for going on the date
as part of final test week.

Try harder. No, I'm a catch!

But Carina was not
in a forgiving mood.

Continuously apologising
and saying sorry...

It's not enough.

And now, over two big nights,
it's the final vows ceremonies.

DAVE: I'm taking this decision
very seriously.

Which of our couples will continue
their marriage beyond the experiment?

CARINA: It's one of
the biggest decisions

I've had to make in my life.

JACQUI: I have something else
I want to tell you as well.

Jacqui's shock confession...

I don't really like
keeping secrets from you.

..leaves Ryan reeling.

It's made me angry.

What are you gonna do?

Awhina's ultimate decision.

Would you be happy
if you had a daughter

to be with someone like Adrian?

It's the conclusion
no-one saw coming.

(CLEARS THROAT)

And...

Carina, you are kind
and compassionate.

All I can do now
is ask for your forgiveness.

..can Carina forgive Paul
one last time?

(RESOUNDING MUSIC PLAYS)

The experiment is drawing to a close

and the time for final vows is almost
here for our remaining couples...

JEFF: Mwah! Argh.
(RHI LAUGHS)

..Jamie and Dave...

JAMIE: Oh, who's gonna carry
all my stuff?

..Rhi and Jeff...

How are you gonna go
without me?

RHI: It'll be an adjustment,
for sure.

..Carina and Paul,

Jacqui and Ryan

and Awhina and Adrian.

They'll now separate
and spend time weighing up

if they'll continue as a couple
in the outside world...

JAMIE: Babe, you forgot
all our honeymoon shells.

You've gotta take them.

RHI: It's gonna feel weird, like,
not doing our morning routine.

JEFF: I know.
Walking to the gym.

Yeah.

..and reveal their decision
when they meet again at final vows.

The final vows is the ultimate step
of the experiment.

Our couples must now take
some time apart

to reflect on their time
in the experiment

before they make
the life-changing decision

on whether to remain as a couple
or go their separate ways.

This time will prove testing
for our couples

and they'll turn to their family
and friends

to question if their relationship
will be strong enough

to continue when they leave
the bubble of the experiment.

(DAVE LAUGHS)

JAMIE: This is so weird!

I'm so used to being next to Dave
in our apartment all the time.

It feels like this is our home.

You know, if these walls could talk.
(LAUGHS)

They wouldn't say too much
exciting things,

just apparently Dave being goofy
and me being nuts. (LAUGHS)

Do you think we get to keep
our wedding photos?

I mean, I don't think
they're gonna fit in my suitcase.

It's just bittersweet
'cause again I'm saying goodbye

and it's the last time I'll say
hello or goodbye to Dave

in this apartment.

(LAUGHS)

So, yeah, it's a bit sad.

DAVE: Think of our first day
in here.

It's just wild
that we've come that far.

To go from, you know, honeymoon
and moving in here

and the ups and downs,

like, I'm super proud of us
and the work we've done.

The bond between Jamie and I
feels strong.

We've overcome the biggest hurdles
and we've come out stronger.

My feelings for Jamie
have progressed.

I think that I've put in the effort
and I've been showing up for Jamie.

And now look at us.
You're gonna move in with my dog.

(LAUGHS)

I'm excited to move out.

I feel like it's a sort of a new
beginning again for Jamie and I.

Before they say goodbye, the experts
have a surprise for Jamie and Dave,

a look back at where it all began
with their wedding video.

Oh, babe, our wedding!

Oh, god.

Oh, my god. Is that a neck tat?

(LAUGHS) Yeah.
(EXCLAIMS) Yes!

Sorry, Dad.
(BOTH LAUGH)

Sold. Sold.

(BOTH LAUGH)

Hey, that's the first time
I ever met you as your little self.

That's so cute.
(LAUGHS)

When Jamie did come
down the aisle and said, you know,

the neck tat thing, that just made
me feel so comfortable.

The attraction is also
her personality.

She's a little pocket rocket.

But we have a bond, so, you know,
she supported me from the start.

"I must admit, when I found out
there was a match for me,

"I was genuinely shocked.

"Either they found
someone as crazy as I am..."

(LAUGHS)

.."or there's a nice guy out there

"about to get
the shock of his life."

(LAUGHS)
This is so crazy.

(BOTH LAUGH)

We were two strangers.

We were kind of lucky. We kind of
hit it off from the start.

Dave's someone
who sees me to my core.

Like, he never doubts me.
He doesn't question me.

He always backs me.
Dave is a great guy.

(ON VIDEO) Hey, I'm Dave, your big
friendly giant soon-to-be husband.

And, yeah,
I'm glad I did this with Dave.

I'd like to start off
with these vows.

Having a long arms, long legs,
big feet,

there's also something big
you can't see.

Oh, my god.

I have an extremely big...heart.
(LAUGHTER)

What are (BLEEP) loser.
(LAUGHS)

I got the ick watching myself.

Oh, man.

It's just so embarrassing.

But it was sweet to relive
that moment again.

(LAUGHS)

Looking back on the wedding day
and honeymoon, moving in here,

everything, I wouldn't change
a thing about Jamie.

I really wouldn't...

MAN: You may now kiss each other.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

..because Jamie has been there
for me

and made me so comfortable

and be able to express myself
and not judged.

(LAUGHS)

I think she embraces
the big goofball I am as well.

Do the thing.

Do it. (LAUGHS)
No.

(LAUGHS) Do it. Just go...

You're such a freak.
You're a freak.

(LAUGHS)

Yeah, she's an amazing,
amazing woman.

Obviously, going to final vows,
we do have a lot to think about.

And we're not going
"Everything's gonna be amazing,

"we're gonna go to Melbourne
and we're gonna have babies and..."

No, we're, like, realistic
in what's going on.

We're, like, we know we both need
to figure out,

like, yeah, if this is something
that is going to go the distance.

Do you need a heartburn tablet?

JAMIE: Like, I do have real feelings
for Dave

but Dave needs to keep showing up
for me,

so I need to think about
all these things.

(LAUGHS)
Goodbye.

This decision is gonna be
a massive one.

This is crazy!

I'm sort of freaking out
a little bit

not knowing what's gonna happen.

Bye, darling.

I know how much I care about Jamie
and I don't want to lose her.

I don't know
what Jamie's decision is gonna be.

Oh. (LAUGHS)

Like a little sad movie.
End of a bloody era.

Oh!
(DOOR CLOSES)

NARRATOR: As Jamie and Dave
go their separate ways

to prepare for their final vows
in a few days time,

one bride is already making
the unprecedented decision

to pull the pin on her marriage
and leave the experiment today.

BETH: I don't need to hear it.

I can't fight for somebody
that just doesn't want me.

BETH: It's very loud and clear
that you don't want to be with me.

I can't go to final vows.

MAN: Can I ask you,
if it all ended abruptly tomorrow,

is my daughter gonna get
her heart broken?

Um...

TEEJAY: I care so much for Beth,
so...

I care about my dog.

Darling, twice today, you didn't
have your wedding ring on.

Because I was an emotional to you
because I like you, that's why.

I like you too, darling.

All I wanted from you was to know

that you liked me
just a little bit...

That is not what you said, darling.

BETH: I'm not the kind of partner
that walks away from something,

so I wrote 'stay'.

JOHN: Teejay, stay or leave?

I wrote 'leave'.
Mmm.

BETH: So, how was your date?

It was fine. Got along well.

I was trying to see
where that sort of pushed me,

whether it was to or from you.

And it kind of just left me neutral,
to be completely honest with you.

Yeah. Yeah.

I feel like I don't want to
stand there,

put on another white dress
like I did on my wedding day,

pour my heart out to you,
pour my emotions out to you

for you to just reject me again.

You know, I deserve to be
with someone

that wants me and is sure about me.

I agree.

So, final vows is not happening.

This is just where we leave it.

That makes sense.

I'm disappointed that I couldn't
give Beth what she needed

in this relationship.

Yeah, I just didn't feel
the deep romance growing for me

and that's just how I feel.

I'm upset that we couldn't end this
on good terms.

BETH: That conversation
has made me feel so shit.

It's obvious that he doesn't want me

and he doesn't want
this relationship

and I can't go to final vows

and stand in front of someone
that I've had feelings for,

confess that I wanted a future
with them,

for them to tell me that, again,
"I don't see a future with you."

I'm not gonna put my energy into it.

I'm not wasting my (BLEEP) time
anymore.

Oh, god.

(CRIES) I'm so sick of crying.

(CRIES)

BETH: I genuinely thought

that we would walk out
of this experiment together.

I thought we were perfectly matched

and now, going from that
to where we are...

just...

It's so sad that it didn't work out.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

NARRATOR: Down the hall,

Carina and Paul are packing up
in separate apartments,

with Paul's decision to take part
in the final test...

still driving a wedge
between the couple.

I was hoping to move out,
you know, in better circumstances,

in a better headspace, you know,
and with Carina by my side

but I know...I know she was
obviously in a...

still in a bit of a bad headspace

since I made the decision
to go on the date.

You know... (LAUGHS)

So, if you're so happy,
why are you here?

I just wish that she would've been
at least able to, yeah...

just to, I guess, maybe just to tell
the rest of the group, you know,

also how amazing I've been

and all the things that I've done
for her as well, you know.

I'd love to go with Carina...

I'd love to go and sit down with her
one more time

and have one last chat.

Hopefully she'll want to receive...

you know, my apology
a bit better than last night...

and hopefully she'll be
a bit more receptive

to the things I have to say.

Yes, we've had little ups
and downs.

There's been times where
we've hurt each other

and we've always decided
to forgive each other.

Hey.
Hey.

How are you?
Good. How are you?

Good.

Yeah, I think there is a possibility
of us to reconnect, 100%.

You know, like, I just...

I've always, you know, followed
and trusted my gut feelings

and I do have a gut feeling
that we can come back from this.

Ah... How are you?

How are you feeling
after last night?

Um...

I don't know. Yeah.

Lonely.
Sorry?

Lonely.
Oh, lonely.

Yeah. Really lonely.
Like, a sense of emptiness.

Yeah.

So, yeah...
I understand.

..pretty disappointed.

Yeah.

I just want to tell you again
how much I care for you

and how much I care
for our relationship

and, yeah, like, again,
I'm just so sorry, again,

if my actions, you know,

that decision I took
has made you feel

the way you're feeling right now.

I just really want you to understand
that I'm not a bad person,

I'm not a nasty person.

I don't have any sort of bad,
malicious intention in me.

I never meant to actively hurt you
or to hurt your feelings.

I'm so sorry and I promise you,
I will do everything to fix this,

everything in my power to fix this.

Yeah.

I really regret
taking that decision.

I didn't think.

I started to see a future with you
outside this experiment, you know,

like, quite early on,
you know, and...

Yeah, but then why would you say
yes to that?

Yeah, I know. And I know
it doesn't make sense...

That just does not make sense, Paul.
I know, I know it doesn't...

I want to be
like a mature relationship.

I feel like that was
a very immature,

irrational decision to make,

so it's obviously making me
question...

Yep.

..are you the right fit for me
in my future?

I really do hope that you will be
able to forgive me for that action

and to move past that
and to continue with me.

Yeah. Like, I don't know
where to go from here.

I'm just begging you to, like...
begging you to hear this from me.

I want this relationship so bad.

And if it makes you feel better,
you know, like,

I am bloody so attracted to you.

I talk to all the boys.

Just look at me, right,
because it's so important...

So I look the boys and I'm, like,
"Goddamn, boys, look at my wife.

"How hot is she," you know.

(PAUL LAUGHS)
(CARINA HALF-LAUGHS)

I've only said nice things
about you, you know.

I just love being around you.

Yeah.

I feel like his words are just words
and he hasn't come across sincere.

I just want you to know,
I just like you so much.

How can you be saying
all those words

and put me in this situation...

Thanks for coming by the apartment.

Say goodbye to it.

I'm gonna miss you.

Come here.

Mmm.

..and just feeling
completely let down,

blindsided, exhausted, drained,
feeling like I'm not worthy

and feeling like
my world's crashing.

It's not good enough.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(LAUGHS)

Oh...

Mmm.

(KISSES)
OK.

I feel like I'm really reassuring
Carina by what I'm saying.

Good luck with packing. (LAUGHS)

I know you have a lot of stuff.
So much stuff.

You know, like, I was able to put
a little bit of a smile on her face.

I was, like, "OK, this is
a good sign." (LAUGHS)

(BLOWS KISS)
I'll miss you.

(DOOR OPENS)

I'm just so convinced
and just deep down in my heart,

I know we can come back
from this silly decision

going on this date...
(DOOR CLOSES)

..and we can make
this relationship work.

OK.

(BRIGHT MUSIC PLAYS)

NARRATOR: It's the final day
in the apartments

and as the remaining couples
pack for their journey home

ahead of final vows,

Carina has taken the last opportunity
before she leaves...

Oh, god. What is this?

..to watch her wedding video.

(GENTLE MUSIC PLAYS)

(GASPS)

Oh, my god.

Nice to meet you. Paul.
Hi, Paul.

You look very handsome.
Thank you.

God, you're gorgeous.
(LAUGHS)

"One thing I promise you
from this moment forward

"is that I will keep you safe.

"I will be your protector,
your rock to lean on

"when times get tough.

"I'm ready more than ever
to embrace the possibility

"of finding unconditional love."

CARINA: Our wedding day
was so beautiful.

(LAUGHTER)

My family were all there
to be a part of it.

"I promise to build with you
a home filled with love."

We've come such a long way and we've
built so many memories together.

"I am ready for the missing puzzle
pieces to complete my love story."

PAUL: That was beautiful.
Thank you.

(APPLAUSE)
(BOTH LAUGH)

CARINA: We had really good times.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

PAUL: Honestly, I'm over the moon.
Like, I'm just, like, all giggly.

I feel like a little kid,
to be honest. (LAUGHS)

Like, she is perfect.

(CRIES)

CARINA: I thought,
"Finally, I'm not alone."

(APPLAUSE)

How did we end up here?

(SOLEMN MUSIC)

I feel like we've gone through
so much together

and really just, like, grown a lot
throughout this whole experiment.

You know, there's so many
beautiful qualities about him...

and I understand he's not perfect,
I'm not perfect, we make mistakes...

but then I'm, like...

"Where is he?"
(HALF-LAUGHS)

Going into final vows,

I feel very uncertain
about the future with Paul.

We've gone through a lot
in a short amount of time,

so am I ready to give that up?

Can I forgive and move on and create
new memories with Paul...

or abort mission and run away
and end this while I can,

because I don't want
to get hurt again.

And I've already gotten hurt

multiple times in this journey
with Paul

and just feeling completely let down

and feeling like
Paul doesn't respect me.

And now I'm leaving
the apartment alone.

NARRATOR: With the final hour in
their marital home fast approaching,

Jacqui has decided...

..it's now time to make
a last-minute confession.

RYAN: What have you got,
you sneaky thing?

JACQUI: OK.

I wanted to be honest with Ryan

and I wanted to lay it
all on the table.

I don't want there to be secrets
between us.

During final test week...

Hi.
MAN: Hello. How are you?

Good.

Jacqui.

..both Jacqui and Ryan

chose to meet up
with their other potential matches.

Honestly, meeting you has been like
a breath of fresh air. (LAUGHS)

Yeah.

And later, while they both came clean
to each other about meet-ups...

I will be honest.

I went on the date too.

..there was an important detail...

Yeah.
..Jacqui left out.

I didn't tell Ryan
that I swapped numbers with Rory,

but he didn't ask, so it's OK.

(LAUGHS)

Is that a bag inside a bag?
I got you a bag.

Whoa.
(LAUGHS)

I gave Rory my number.

(LAUGHS)
Yeah.

But now, yeah, I just...

I just...feel a bit guilty.

(EXHALES)

Spoiling me.

Why? What else have you done?
(LAUGHS)

(SIGHS)

Thank you for being the best husband
that I could've had.

And I have something else
I want to tell you as well.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

I just want you to know as well

because I don't really like
keeping secrets from you...

Oh!

..that I did give Rory my number.

But we didn't talk

and it made me realise that,
actually,

you are the one I want.

Mmm.
Like...

(CLEARS THROAT)

I've no intention of meeting up with
Rory after this experiment at all.

You know that's not OK.

So, Rory's now thinking,

"Oh, I'll message her
even though she's married,"

because that's the sign.

Like, you've given him a big sign.

It's made me angry.
Made you angry?

Yeah.
(TENSE MUSIC)

Volunteering your number,
that is the absolute biggest signal

of, like, "Come and get me"
you can give.

It's, like, do you want to get got?
Do you want to get pursued?

No, definitely not happy with that.

I feel as if that was something
I would never (BLEEP) do. Never.

There's no excuse
for giving your number out.

There's still this wedding ring on.

You giving him your number...

is a strong sign that you think
there is no future with us.

I do see a future with us, though,
Ryan.

JACQUI: My feelings towards Ryan
haven't changed.

What we've built together
hasn't changed

and I still am committed to Ryan.

We've got, like, great photos.

We can do a lingerie photo
shoot together.

Like... Like, I have no intention
of seeing Rory outside.

I don't have one-night stands.
I do not do that.

Like, if I build a relationship
with someone, it's forever.

Like, I intend them to be
at my funeral

and I intend to be at their funeral.

Like, that's how...
That's how forward-looking I am.

(SOLEMN MUSIC)

NARRATOR: With their time
in the apartment drawing to a close,

Awhina and Adrian
have still not spoken

after an emotionally charged argument
at the dinner party.

ADRIAN: I don't want to be in
a relationship, me personally,

that I even, me, consider going on
another date with someone else.

The more I see on this...

Let's not hide
behind this challenge, Adrian.

What challenge?

You see any point
going to final vows?

No.

Adrian, I agree. I agree.

And again...
I agree.

..ask me the question tomorrow...
(BLEEP) final vows.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Yeah, I'm not sure about Adrian
and I's relationship right now.

There are better ways he and I
both could've handled last night

and the situation.

Last, like, day
we're seeing each other

and I didn't want
last night's dinner party

to be the last impression Adrian has
of me and our relationship.

I still want to make up with Adrian.

I do regret that last night
ended the way it did.

Our communication was so off.

I did want to have an enjoyable
last dinner party with you.

I was just feeling upset 'cause
everything was coming to an end.

But, Adrian, I think I was just
seeking reassurance from you

that I wasn't getting...
I did.

..and I was mad you did it
because, yes, I was jealous.

Obviously there must be some doubt
in our relationship.

Absolutely.

I don't want to be curious
about anyone else.

But at the end of the day,

this is not where I want to be and
this is not what I want to be doing.

If you're in a secure relationship,
you should never go.

It was still wrong.

Everything I said
was 100% honest.

And it's the truth.

(KNOCK AT DOOR)

Who is it?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

It's an iPad.

It's our wedding video.

I'm not watching it yet. I'm sad.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

NARRATOR: Still to come,
the first final vows ceremonies...

"I deserved to be loved, Dave..."

Has love run its course
for Jamie and Dave?

.."and I just don't know

"whether I'm willing to wait to see
if you can get there too."

And one of the most
unexpected endings

in the history of the experiment.

"Adrian, our road hasn't always
been easy

"but I see the potential for us to
build a beautiful life together."

NARRATOR:
With the impending final vows

weighing heavily on their minds,

our first three couples have headed
home across Australia

to contemplate their decision.

Hey. Hey, bud.

They'll spend the week apart,

reflecting on whether to continue
their relationships

outside the experiment

or leave their marriages for good.

Having just arrived
in Melbourne...

Jamie is already reminiscing about
her time in the experiment

with the help of a gift from Dave.

"To Jamie. You're so special to me.
Thank you for being you."

And we did leave things
in a really good spot

and right now, like, I miss him.

God, that was, like, on the way
to our honeymoon.

This experiment has been,
like, the best thing I've ever done

in my entire life

and Dave has been the best person
to do it with.

Oh, our little apartment!

He made me feel comfortable
straight away.

(LAUGHS) The coffee...
The coffee machine is my nightclub.

(BOTH LAUGH)

Oh, dinner party.

When we go to dinner parties

and, like, you know
someone's got your back,

like, that's, like, that's...phew...

(SQUEALS)
..you can't ask for more than that.

Look at this dress!
Look at this lady.

Come on, give us a spin.
Give us a spin.

MAN: Give her a spin.
Look at that!

Shocker! We're together again!

OTHERS: Hello!

I've got the little...

We balance each other out.

We work really well
being that fire and ice.

Oh, my little bed!

(LAUGHS)

I bought a little...

OK. You guys have gotta go.
(LAUGHS)

Jesus Christ. Holy shit.

(LAUGHS)
Here we go.

(LAUGHS)

"To be continued."

I am hopeful for the future

because I've seen all the good
foundation we do have as a couple.

But he just makes me
a better person.

MAN: Aw!

I just get to the experience
all this amazing joy that we have

within our little home

and, like, we truly are having
the best experiment.

Here you go, Dave.

You don't even match my aesthetic
but you're still going on there.

Lucky you.

I came into this experiment
looking for a partner

and someone to love and someone
that I could be myself around

and someone with a big personality

and I honestly think I got more than
what I was looking for

in this experiment.

I've never dated someone
with such a big personality.

You know, being apart from Jamie
is making me miss her.

She's an amazing person.
She makes me laugh.

Is it sleeping in your bed?
Yeah.

I'm the only one that should be
moulting in the house.

(BOTH LAUGH)

DAVE: She's just hilarious.

Today? Today?

(SCREAMS) No!

Why would they do this?
What is it?

I don't have a dress!
It's a (BLEEP) wedding!

(LAUGHS) Let's go.

Get in the shower.

DAVE: She makes me laugh
all the time.

My red flag list...

(BOTH LAUGH)

..they wear Crocs, TNs,
Birkenstocks, Doc Martens

or any form of a sandal.

God, I'm such a funny bitch.

DAVE: She's affectionate...

(LAUGHS)

Jamie has made me feel so good.

She's everything.

It went so well for so long
and it was bloody awesome

and I (BLEEP) up everything.

Some of the needs,
I wasn't showing up for Jamie

and it sort of derailed us
a little bit.

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

OK, so you haven't said it back?
No.

When Jamie told me she loved me,
I freaked out a little bit

and I'm not proud of the way
that I've treated her.

Who have I been laying next to
this whole experiment, Dave?

I'm not at the level of love
that you have.

It's not "Tell me you love me!"
It's how far in we are!

You have not shown up for me!
(CRIES)

I'm ashamed of the way
I handled that.

I wasn't showing up for Jamie
romantically

and I hope she can forgive me.

Since then, I've put in the effort.

I've shown up,
brought the flowers...

And that one too.

..the gifts...
Babe, this is, like, 400 bucks.

Your favourite perfume.
It is.

But why would you spend
that much money?

Because I care about you.

DAVE: I've told her
how I feel about her.

I want to work on expressing
the emotional, romantic side.

You're worth doing that for.

(KISS)

She met my dad.

Good, how are you?
I get to finally meet you.

I know.

DAVE: And I just hope that I was
able to make things right.

I want her to be in my life because
I have strong feelings for her

and I care about her a lot,

but, yeah, I'm not confident
in her decision.

I don't know how she's gonna be
feeling in this time.

NARRATOR: Across town, Jamie is
catching up with her sister Georgia.

JAMIE: Are you warding me off
from you?

GEORGIA: No, this is good energy.

So, are you gonna tell me the juice

or am I gonna sit here
like a dickhead with an evil eye?

(LAUGHS) No.

The last time they saw each other,

Georgia expressed doubt about
the couple's future together.

So, are you falling in love
with Jamie?

I'm not falling in love
at the moment, no.

Love's not there.

That doesn't make sense to me.

How can you see a future
with someone

you don't have
a love connection with?

Well, that's why I'm confused...
That's what I don't understand.

Since we were here,

I can actually feel the feelings
have shifted majorly.

So he's expressed it now he's got
romantic feelings for you?

He said now that he definitely
feels like he has, like,

those romantic feelings...
So, what's changed?

It's just, like, we do have this,
like, really nice bond.

That's where the confusion's lying,
though.

Like, I'm not against you and Dave
being in each other's lives.

It's just that
I will always struggle

to see the romantic thing
with you two.

JAMIE: My sister is someone
who doesn't hold back

and I can't really disagree
with Georgia

'cause she's reaffirming concerns
I already had.

We've got everything that makes us
such a good partnership

and this friendship

and all our problem areas
are in terms of romantic.

I don't necessarily think
this makes sense.

You just have to think about if you
can actually see a future with him

outside of the experiment.

I think she's lying to herself.

There's no romance.

It's still to me sounding like
they've got a fantastic friendship.

Do I think it will get anywhere?
No.

But if it makes her happy, sure.

My opinion remains where it was
when I saw you and Dave for lunch

of, "What are we doing here?
Friends?"

This conversation
has reaffirmed my concerns

and definitely has made me feel
a bit silly

when you say some things out loud.

This experiment, there's so much
of, like, putting in the effort

and trying to make it work,
no matter what.

I think that's where
we're struggling to differentiate

whether we're here because we want
to be around each other,

we have these feelings
and it's all amazing

or if we're just trying to
make it work.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

NARRATOR: Today is the day
of the final vows...

where Jamie and Dave
must make a choice.

Will they commit to a future together
beyond the experiment

or walk away forever?

JAMIE: I told Dave I loved him.

But then our energy shifted
so dramatically.

I have no idea if our feelings
will ever match.

Not being able to tell Dave
how I feel

or what I'm gonna say

is, like, impacting my throat chakra

'cause you can't get
your words out.

Then everything, like...

Now everything's sore
and just blocked.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

DAVE: After the way I've acted
towards Jamie,

I think I've given her enough reason
to doubt my feelings.

But I've got myself back
to that place

where I can see and want a future

and I hope I've done enough
to win her back.

I want to show Jamie that I care

and I want to show Jamie

that our relationship is not worth
just throwing away

and hopefully she feels
the same way.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

JAMIE: I definitely fell in love
with the qualities Dave has,

but can we do life together?

I do get really caught up
in feelings

without even thinking things
through.

(LAUGHS)
Hey, you.

Hey, stranger.

JAMIE: But I'm feeling confident
about my decision.

I've put a lot of thought into it

and I feel like I've made
the right decision.

(BOTH LAUGH)

This is the longest
we haven't seen each other.

I know, it's been a while.

I'm looking forward to yours.

(LAUGHS)

(CLEARS THROAT)

"Jamie...

"the moment I saw you
walking down the aisle,

"my heart nearly jumped
out of my chest.

You looked like a firecracker

"packed into the smallest,
most perfect package."

(LAUGHS)

"And that moment on, I knew this was
gonna be something unforgettable.

"Six weeks into our marriage,
you told me you loved me.

"It was overwhelming.

"I wasn't ready
to say those words back,

"but I promised that I would
show up no matter what

"and over the past three months,

"I've done my best
to live up to that promise.

"Through all of this,

"you've become one of
the closest people to me in my life.

"I came here looking for something
that could last,

"something worth holding onto

"and with you,
I believe that's possible.

"So, today, I choose us.

"Let's give this a real shot.

"I want to leave here with you

"and whatever comes next,
I'm ready if you are."

(LAUGHS)

Yay.

(LAUGHS)

(EXHALES)

Anyways, you go.

Are you ready?
(EXHALES) Yep.

OK.

(EXHALES)

Are you ready?

(EXHALES) Yep.
OK.

(EXHALES)

"Dave...

"I came into this experiment
hoping I'd find my person.

"I wanted to break all cycles
and finally find the nice guy

"who would make me feel heard,
valued and seen.

"When we first met
on our beautiful wedding day,

"everything felt easy.

"There was a natural
connection between us,

"one that felt like
it had the potential

"to grow to something truly special.

"From the very start, you made me
feel safe, understood

"and free to be my full, loud self.

"You've been patient with me...

"but beyond that,
you've genuinely made my life better

"just by being in it.

"We've been like fire and ice,
where I'm loud, passionate

"and then you bring calm
and balance.

"You create such
a peaceful environment around us

"and I love that I feel safe,
supported

"and truly free to be myself
when I'm with you.

"Throughout this journey,
no matter what happened,

"I knew I'd have your back
and you'd have mine.

"And that's the kind of partnership

"anyone would be lucky to experience
even once.

"By the time we reached retreat,

"my feelings for you had grown
so much.

"Saying 'I love you' felt so right
and so natural.

"Even though you didn't say it back,
it didn't change how I felt.

"I was happy to be in my feels
fully and unapologetically.

"But during feedback week,
our intimacy issues came to light

"and unfortunately that also
uncovered something deeper...

"that your romantic feelings
weren't progressing

"in the way I'd hoped.

"I felt truly blindsided
in this moment

"as the relationship I thought
was going so incredibly well

"was potentially a lie."

"That realisation hit me hard.

"I questioned our relationship,
you as a person and even myself.

"It made me question if I'd really
fallen in love with you

"or just the idea of you.

"After feedback week, we moved
straight into homestays.

"I went in feeling hurt,
unsure about our relationship

"and doubting our future.

"We managed to find our way back
and find hope in each other again.

"But I'd be lying
if I said I wasn't concerned...

"concerned that your feelings
will never match mine.

"I've wondered if you can give me
what I need emotionally

"or if you feel like
we're forcing something

"that doesn't come naturally to you.

"I don't want either of us
to feel like we're settling

"or to be in a relationship where
one of us isn't truly fulfilled.

"I deserved to be loved, Dave,

"and I just don't know
whether I'm willing to wait to see

"if you can get there too.

"But I also know that I'm not ready
to walk away from this

"or from you."

Aw!

"And my heart tells me
that I'm not ready to let go of you

"and everything
we've built together."

"So, yes, I do want to
take this relationship

"beyond the experiment

"because I don't think
it's the end of our story.

"In fact, it may just be
the beginning."

That's so sweet!
(LAUGHS)

(BOTH LAUGH)

Cue the music.
We did it.

(RESOUNDING MUSIC PLAYS)

Well done.

(BOTH LAUGH)

I wish I could wrap my legs
around you but I'll split my dress.

Later. Later.
(LAUGHS)

We did it. I was about to say,
"Please don't put a plot twist.

"I'm not in the mood."
(BOTH LAUGH)

Obviously I'm so excited to be
standing here with Dave.

Like, I'm so happy. Like, we've put
in so much work for so long.

It wasn't for nothing.

We're finally at this place
where we're both on the same page

and we want to give it a go,
that we're both optimistic.

OK. Let's go, my little backpack.
(LAUGHS)

I came here for my man
and I'm leaving with my man.

How good. We did it.
Yeah.

Love.

This experiment's taught me so much
about myself and her

and I feel like, to me,

Jamie's someone that I value
very much in my life.

We should celebrate
with skinny-dipping in the pond.

(BOTH LAUGH)

That's the dynamic.

Yin and yang. Hot and cold...
Very much so.

..kind of vibe.

I mean, you're calm, I'm crazy,
so it's, like, we just balance.

Very true.

And plus,
how boring would his life be

if he didn't have a little spicy wog
in there?

That's true.

I need to walk funny
so my heels don't get stuck.

(LAUGHS)

NARRATOR: Still to come...

Would you be happy for your daughter
to be with someone like Adrian?

..the most unexpected end
to a final vows ever seen.

"Awhina, I have real feelings
for you."

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

NARRATOR: After several days apart,

Awhina and Adrian are reflecting
on their tumultuous marriage

and weighing up the life-changing
decision in front of them.

ADRIAN: Going into finals vows,
this decision's huge.

I'm not quite sure where I am right
now and what I want to do with it.

AWHINA: Throughout this experiment,
we've had a lot of ups and downs.

Our relationship has
definitely been a rollercoaster

'cause Adrian and I
are just both fiery personalities.

But I don't think I've hidden
from anybody

throughout this entire experiment

how physically attracted I am
to Adrian.

Adrian and I
definitely have chemistry.

It's like the devil comes out
when he smiles at me.

He has, like,
this cheeky little smirk he does.

It's so hot. (LAUGHS)

Like, some things,
like sparks and connections,

is just something you can't explain.

That is there, 100%, no questions.

Me and Awhina
have had our ups and downs,

but the most challenging thing
for our relationship

is we live in different states.

How do we navigate a relationship
when one of us lives in Sydney

and the other lives in WA?

I have a son to think about.

I don't know if we're strong enough
as a couple right now

to make that work.

NARRATOR: Hoping for
some much-needed advice...

Hi, Fifi.
Hey, twinnie.

..Awhina is chatting with
her twin sister Cleo.

It's final vows, Fi.
What are you gonna do?

What am I gonna do?

Again, I'm still confused about
what I'm gonna do.

And what do you think
Adrian's gonna say at the end?

I don't know,
but he lives in Sydney.

He's pretty adamant that's his home

and...I'm not planning
on moving to Sydney.

Yeah.

And I know
that even without long distance,

we would have real hurdles.

If his life is never going to be
in Perth

and your life
is never going to be in Sydney...

it would never work.

Yeah.

You and I both know I've got
feelings for Adrian. (LAUGHS)

Yes.

I do think Adrian's got feelings
for me.

He does have a caring side.

I don't think Adrian's a bad person.

Do I think he's good enough for you?
No.

I don't think he really gets
involved in your life much.

I don't think he asks a lot
about your life back home.

I think, from the start,
he was very much for himself.

If you could honestly ask yourself,

would you be happy,
if you had a daughter,

for your daughter to be
with someone like Adrian?

It's time for Awhina and Adrian to
declare their feelings at final vows

and with it, make a decision that
could change their lives forever.

AWHINA: My vows
have been hard to write

and I've been really conflicted
on the direction to go

and I feel like I keep changing
my mind.

Adrian and I, we do have
some massive hurdles

and I'm not sure those issues are
something he or I could overcome.

But at the same time,
when I'm spending time with Adrian,

we do have chemistry.

I can definitely see a future
with someone like Adrian.

ADRIAN: At the end of the day,

I came here
to walk away with a relationship

and very rare do you find someone

that makes you feel comfortable
with who you are.

I met a beautiful person in Awhina.

We have a connection there
and we do care for each other

and it just feels right.

But at the same time,
to make it work,

we both need to be 100% certain
that there is a future...

because it is a huge commitment.

I might have to move my whole
lifestyle somewhere else...

away from my family,
away from my friends.

But I ask myself,
is that really what I want to do

and is this relationship
really worth it?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

My decision right now
is definitely the right decision.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

AWHINA: By saying yes and continuing
things on the outside,

am I just leading myself
to future heartbreak...

when long distance
doesn't work out?

But then again, am I ready to stop
talking or seeing Adrian forever?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

What's happening? Mmm?

How are you feeling?

(SARCASTICALLY) Great.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

What's happening? Mmm?

How are you feeling?

(SARCASTICALLY) Great.

Well, I might as well start.

"Awhina...

"coming into this experiment
four months ago,

"I was standing at the altar...

"excited,

"knowing my future person
would be walking down the aisle."

"I remember the moment
I first saw you.

"I thought,
'This man is way too hot.

"'What am I getting myself into?'"
(LAUGHTER)

Hey, how you going? I'm Adrian.

Hi.
Nice to meet you.

You're actually way too hot.
I'm actually not happy.

OK.
(LAUGHTER)

"I can confirm
I still think you're way too hot."

(LAUGHS)

"But I've come to see
that you're also kind, funny,

"stubborn, creative and curious.

"I see the potential for us
to build a beautiful life together.

"I can't deny that we have
this unexplainable chemistry."

"Our energy towards one another
is undeniable.

"It's a connection...
I can't explain it in words.

"We could have fun
doing the most simple task

"and end up with sore cheeks
from smiling too much.

"You make me laugh, you challenge me
and you make me feel seen.

"In those moments,
you have made me see

"a possible happy future with you."

"When things are good,
they truly are great."

(EXHALES)

"Our journey has been
a mix of ups and downs,

"often leaving me unsure
where we stand...

"and there have been times
I've felt disappointed

"by the support
I've received from you.

"Sometimes in this experiment,

"I didn't feel seen by you,
truly seen.

"I tried my best at times to express
what I need from you

"and it often felt like
a losing battle."

"Looking back, I can admit

"I could have been a better partner
to you.

"We've both felt like we haven't had
each other's back

"and that we haven't shown up
for each other."

"The fact you live in Sydney
while I have my life in Perth...

"my son's life is there,
my community is there

"and just as mine is in Perth,
yours is in Sydney.

"The brown-haired, brown-eyed boy
I've been looking for is at home,

"missing his mum.

"You're not my future right now.

"This is where our journey ends."

(SOLEMN MUSIC)

"You are an amazing mother

"and I understand how important
it is for you to get back to Perth

"to be with your son.

"And that's the problem.

"After everything, I believe these
hurdles are too big to overcome,

"which is why I'm now deciding
that it's best for both of us

"that I walk away."

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(SOLEMN MUSIC)

Don't look at me like that, Adrian.

Stop smiling at me.

You have said you wouldn't want to
do this experience

with anyone else.

Yeah.

Do you want to spend time with me
tonight?

Yeah.

Do you want to still talk to me?

Yeah, of course.

Is that on a friendship level
or is that romantic?

But you're choosing to walk away.

Adrian, you like me.

I know I do.

Yeah, I know you do.

Right now, we're both saying
we like each other.

Well, I mean, like I said...
Adrian...

It's whether or not you still
want to see where this goes

and clearly you still do.

I do, but then I think about...
No, you do.

That's the answer.
Yeah, but...

You do.
But the reality...

You do.
I do, but the reality...

(BOTH LAUGH)

Then our answers sound stupid.

I feel like we looked at
this decision too black-and-white.

Yeah.

Do you want to try right now,
though, and see what...

Yeah, but...

..our connection looks like
outside of this experiment, Adrian?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

That's all I'm asking.

Yes.

Hmm.

OK. Cool.

I hope you realise
the decision's been made now.

Yeah, it is.

Of course.

You can explain this.
(LAUGHS)

Why do I have to explain everything?

I think I did most of the talking
in there.

I was feeling really, like,
anxious out there

when I was walking down the stairs.

Yeah, we're going out together

and I think we both know
the situation we're in.

There's no pressure to it.
(LAUGHS)

So we're just gonna go back home

and see where we stand
and how we go.

(KISS)

Awhina's a lucky woman.

Oh, of course.

Definitely still the same Adrian.
(LAUGHS)

The future is bright.

(BOTH LAUGH)

NARRATOR: Coming up...

You went and met up
with another woman.

I feel like I'm not worthy, I'm not
blonde, I don't have long legs,

like, I'm not skinny enough...

..can Carina move past the hurt
and forgive Paul again?

What is inside your heart?

(BELLS RING)

NARRATOR: In Sydney,
Carina's mum, Carmel,

has flown all the way from Perth
to be by her daughter's side

while she makes
this momentous decision.

We have the church behind us.

The cathedral.
Yep.

St Mary's Cathedral.
It's beautiful.

My mum knows that I'm not
in the best frame of mind.

She knows my headspace
is all over the shop.

So, yeah, I just really want to tell
her what I'm currently going through

so she can give me the right advice,

because her opinion
means so much to me.

So, Carina, the last time I saw you,
you were at home with Paul

and things looked great.

Obviously, coming back
to Sydney, we were on a high.

We were so happy

and I think the last week
has changed dramatically.

Last week, we had our final task
by the experts

to see if we wanted to go on
a date with someone

that they matched us with
and thought we were compatible with

and Paul decided to go on a date
with another woman.

Oh, Carina!
Yeah.

Are you thinking that,
like, I'm gonna be OK with that?

Like, you didn't consider
my feelings again!

Let's stop this (BLEEP) now.
No! I'm (BLEEP) done!

I'm actually done.
Get your shit and leave.

(SIGHS)
I'm done.

It instantly... I just was shocked
by the choice that he made

and it's just not good enough
for me.

No, it's not good enough.

I feel very shocked to hear
what happened with Carina

because at homestay,
Paul came across beautifully

and I thought that they gelled
so well together.

I'm just devastated.
Absolutely devastated.

It's fully disrespected me.
He has.

Like, I understand it's OK
to be curious, but don't act on it.

If we're going out
into the real world

and we are faced with a situation
like this...

You face big temptations
every day in life.

Yeah.

And you cannot fall
for these temptations.

He came back and he was, like,
"I missed you so much.

"I was talking about you
the whole time"

and I was, like,

"The fact is that you went
and met up with another woman."

That is so detrimental
on any woman's self-esteem.

Like, I have such low self-esteem

when I've worked so hard to build
what I am inside and out

and then when this happens,

I feel like all of that
has just come crashing down

and I'm not good enough,
I'm not worthy, I'm not blonde,

I don't have long legs,
like, I'm not skinny enough.

Like, these are all things
that are going in my mind

because he did that, Mum.

It's, like, I'm not the one doing
the wrong, but I'm copping it.

Yeah.
Like, it's a lose-lose situation.

And I'm, like, envisioning him
at that restaurant

or at the bar like with another
woman and I'm just, like, "Why?

"Like, just say no."

But the fact that he didn't even
realise he's hurting you...

Exactly, Mum.
..is upsetting.

That's lacking
emotional intelligence.

That's exactly
what the experts said.

Does he make you happy at all?
He does.

Yeah.
Yeah.

But that's why I'm hurt,
because I'm, like, how...

Like, why do you not know me?

(CRIES)

I'm just angry.
Yes.

Disappointed.

This has hurt her deeply,

but I'm really in two minds

because from what she told me
throughout the experiment,

they were supportive of each other,
they were happy together,

she felt she was paired up
with the right person.

(BOTH LAUGH)

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
(GLASSES TINKLE)

(PAUL LAUGHS)

It's a choice that's not as easy

as what I thought it would've been
for her.

He's made the wrong choice,
but we make mistakes in life

and we need to forgive.

That's part of our faith,
our Christian faith, Carina,

where we do need to forgive people.

At the end of the day,
we are human beings

and we do make mistakes in life.

I think if she looks at the happy
times that they've had together...

Yeah.
..maybe she can forgive him.

What is inside your heart?

You need to go with your heart.

And if you think
he's genuinely sorry,

maybe you can find it
in your heart to forgive him

and move forward.

Yeah.

You need to pray about it
and ask God for his blessings

and it's up to you, my dear.

I can't make the decision for you.

OK? But we'll be here for you.
Thank you.

Love you.
Love you too.

CARINA: Paul made a mistake
and that's very evident.

We make mistakes.

I think I have to figure out
if I can move on and forgive him.

My mum's wisdom
has definitely given me more clarity

about the decision
I'm going to make.

NARRATOR: The final vows ceremony
has arrived for Carina and Paul.

Today they will reveal their
true feelings for one another...

and make a life-changing decision.

And the moment can't come
quick enough for Paul...

who is in no doubt
about his decision today,

as he is desperate to reconnect
with Carina.

PAUL: I look forward
to seeing Carina.

I'm really excited to see her face.
I haven't seen her in a few days.

I've missed her heaps.

And I can't wait to be able
to deliver my vows...

yeah, express to her
how much I like her.

This whole journey, you know,
it's been beautiful,

it's been amazing.

There's been
many, many beautiful moments.

Just a couple of hiccups
along the way.

We've just come out of
a bit of a rough moment,

you know, so I'm just hoping

that she's gonna be willing
to forgive me for that

and to move forward and to continue
this relationship on the outside.

Hopefully she's gonna reflect on

all these beautiful moments
that we've had

and, you know, on that strong
connection that we've had

from pretty much day one

and, yeah, I'm hoping that
she's gonna express all that.

I'm feeling extremely, extremely
confident about my decision.

Right now,
the only thing that I want

is I just want Carina to tell me
that she's forgiven me

and that she's OK with everything,
that she wants to move forward,

she want to continue
this relationship back in Perth,

that she wants to continue doing
life with me and that's all I want.

CARINA: It's one of
the biggest decisions

I've had to make in my life.

It's a weird feeling.
I feel really torn...

because I have been hurt

and I don't want to get hurt
anymore.

But at the same time, I don't want
to give up on what we've built.

We've created so many
wonderful memories together...

and we have a strong connection.

I can see a future with Paul.

(MEN LAUGH)

And he really did get along
with my family.

My family were, like, "Wow,
he fits in so easily and so well."

We're very happy to have you
as part of our family, Paul.

Thank you.

And just remember,
perseverance and forgiveness.

Mmm.
You need to forgive.

I know that relationships
are not easy

and I was raised on forgiveness
and seeing the good in people.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

CARINA: There are so many
great qualities about Paul.

I never felt
coming into this experiment

that I would just feel
so comfortable.

I'm very grateful for that
and I'm very grateful for Carina.

But the way you look,

I don't even know if I want to
get to the dinner party anymore.

(BOTH LAUGH)

But then there's also
the other side...

(TENSE MUSIC)

..where there have been red flags
throughout the experiment.

(GLASS TINKLES)

I did something
that I absolutely regret.

CARINA: Trust is a real big one
for me

and it's so important and crucial

and for my own partner to have
my back, no matter what.

I feel like there's been times
in the experiment

when Paul has thrown me
under the bus.

PAUL: So I feel like
she is a bit of a snob sometimes.

Paul has let me down
on multiple occasions

throughout this experiment.

I want to give him
the benefit of the doubt,

but I can't stop fixating
on the thought

and the fact that he did action
his curiosity

and he went and met up
with another woman.

When I was there...
No!

..I was so embarrassed and I was
talking about you the whole time.

No, don't do it with other girls!

I'm worth so much more than this!
No, no, no, wait!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

But even with everything
that's happened...

I still have feelings towards him,
I care for him, I really miss him.

And I crumble when I see him.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Wow. (LAUGHS)

Wow. (LAUGHS)

Hey.
Hi.

How are you?
How are you?

You look so good.
It's so good to see you.

God, I miss you.

You look so good.

How are you feeling?

Nervous.

Nervous. Yes. Me too. Me too.

Alright. Well... (LAUGHS)
I guess I'll start. (LAUGHS)

(TENSE MUSIC)

NARRATOR: Tomorrow night...

"Ryan, in a world of red flags,
you are the red carpet."

..the most unexpected
and explosive final vows ever seen.

"I'm not
a rehabilitation centre..."

(LAUGHS) Sorry, that's ridiculous.

Don't call my final vows ridiculous.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Plus...

JEFF: It's very rare that people
go from a romantic relationship

to a friendship, then back to
a romantic relationship.

..Rhi and Jeff's final vows...

"You are worth every day,
every week, every month it takes

"to discover
our happily ever after."

It's the love story
of the experiment.

Rhi, I am falling in love with you.

And...

Paul...

..the dramatic conclusion
to Carina and Paul's final vows.
