program. I'm Ally Langdon. Thanks

NARRATOR: Previously... (LAUGHS)

Will you marry me? FILIP: I am in love with you.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

..after seven intense weeks in the experiment...

GIA: Let's pop it off, shall we? No!

..the next phase of the experiment began.

Oh, yes!

Feedback week saw our couples

receive fresh perspectives on their marriages from their peers.

Did you see at the commitment ceremony when he was, like,

"Sam will come to Sydney and then we'll do this?"

We had not spoken about that plan.

Sam was able to express his concerns

about Chris making future plans for the pair without consultation.

I just feel like I didn't get a say or a voice at all.

Alissa warned David not to discuss those messages.

The comments were vile, disgusting.

We've seen them.

And...

She's done a runner.

I'm going to rename her Usain Bolt.

..Danny was stood up...

..when Gia refused to participate in the partner swap.

I think Gia, you're not giving her any drama.

She's seeking that drama to fulfil her internal need.

And after receiving direct feedback from Stella...

The advice I got was quite reasonable, I feel.

I just need to deliver it the right way for her to not feel offended.

Fingers crossed it goes the right way. (LAUGHS)

I just don't really care for her feedback.

..Scott was hesitant to share his findings with Gia.

Um...

(CRICKETS CHIRP)

I knew if I went too deep, I'd be over the balcony.

Tonight...

(LAUGHS) Oh, my god.

..it's Alissa and Steven's turn to get some fresh feedback.

Maybe this is your opportunity to jump Racho.

Take the lead, Stevo. Alright. That's it.

But not all our participants will se this week as constructive criticism.

Just, like, made a decision on how...

Oh, no... Actually, no. That's not true.

As a tense stand-off ensues for one of our strongest couples...

Even now, I feel like you're getting defensive.

I'm not getting defensive. I'm having a conversation.

I am sad, I'm disappointed.

"Do you see me as a mother/father of your children?"

Yes, I do see you as a father of my children.

And as feedback week continues...

No, thanks.

Bye.

..what's in the anonymous letter...

..that pushes Gia to breaking point?

SCOTT: Gia wants to leave.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

It's feedback week

and across the city, our couples are partaking

in an anonymous one-on-one partner-swap task

set by the experts.

The partner swap allows couples to gain an outside perspective

on their relationships.

It was nice to just talk freely.

JOHN: Week after week,

our couples get critical feedback from us as experts.

But this week is all about feedback

from those within the bubble of the experiment, their peers.

And despite a devastating 24 hours,

Alissa is putting on a brave face

and is ready to participate in this task.

ALISSA: Obviously, David and I,

we've come off the back of, like, some pretty heavy times.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS) (MOBILE PHONE DINGS)

Tonight, Juliette felt passionate enough to send me the receipts

about the language that was used behind my back.

What I just read was (BLEEP) disgusting.

But today I just want to focus on the task.

You know, I'm here for David and our relationship.

So, yeah, I'm really excited and I'm always open to feedback

and I'm not sure who I'm going to be partnered with today,

but I feel like it's really hard to take feedback

from people that have burnt you.

So hopefully it's not Bec.

Do I look or do I not look?

(EVOCATIVE MUSIC PLAYS)

(BRIGHT MUSIC PLAYS) Oh, hello!

Oh, my god. (BOTH LAUGH)

Hello! How are you?

Oh, I walk in and I see Alissa. (LAUGHS)

But I was wondering who I was going to meet.

I'm, like, "Who's it gonna be?"

I actually feel really good.

If I want advice and feedback,

it's probably the best that it comes from Rachel's best friend

because they talk like crazy.

Alissa knows everything.

Probably if I fart in my sleep or something, who knows?

I've been wanting to talk to you. Oh, fantastic.

(BOTH LAUGH)

How's your attraction?

Are you getting... Is the attraction building with Rachel?

I can definitely say yes.

What is holding you back? (LAUGHS)

Nothing's really holding me back.

Intimacy-wise, it's taken a while to get there.

You've made such progress

and I feel like maybe this is your opportunity to jump Racho.

(BOTH LAUGH)

You just need to build up that confidence more

and take the (BLEEP) lead, Stevo. Alright, that's it.

How are you and Dave going?

I feel like David and I are in such a good place

right now in our relationship

and I feel like we're on the same page in a lot of areas.

The thing I wanted to ask is, what do you see from the outside?

I can definitely tell you this.

I've seen Dave at those dinner parties

and when you're not around, he...he's got your back.

(GENTLE MUSIC PLAYS)

He's got... He's got your back.

He has your best interest at heart. And he's... It's just amazing.

He's so calm and collected and he respects you so much

and is such... and there's a connection.

I've seen you two at the retreat, the connection you two have.

It's super sweet. You are a match. Yeah.

There's no doubt about it.

All I can say is keep going... Thank you, Steven.

..because you're a match.

Look, Stevo, I feel like he really took on board the feedback

that I had for him

and I'm so happy about the feedback that Steven gave me.

It was really reassuring to hear that we are a strong couple.

Cheers. Cheers to that.

Cheers to us and our relationship. 100%.

And hurry up and jump Rach. (LAUGHS) Oh...

The first phase of feedback week has come to a close

and while Alissa is feeling reassure in her relationship with David,

back at the apartments...

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

..David is feeling nervous about his catch-up with Bec.

(TENSE MUSIC PLAYS)

I am nervous sitting here waiting for Alissa to walk in

because I don't know how she's going to take the fact

that I had to talk to Bec about text messages that Bec sent

and I did not want to talk about it, but Bec obviously brought it up,

so I couldn't shy away from it, you know.

BEC: Do you know what, I wanted to talk to you and Alissa,

but obviously I couldn't, about those messages.

I wasn't rude about you. I wasn't rude about Alissa.

I was just talking about your relationship.

I don't want to take away from Alissa's part.

I'm sure she will talk to you in her own time.

But I felt like the comments were vile, disgusting...

But how do you know... ..very, like, mean and vicious.

But how do you know what they were?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

Did Juliette send them to Alissa?

She did.

It's hard to look past that.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

ALISSA: Knock-knock. What a-do?

Hello. Hi.

How are you? Good. How are you?

I'm good. (DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

How was your day? Good.

How was yours? Yeah, it was good.

It was good. That's good.

Who did you catch up with today? Who did I catch up with today?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

Oh, I caught up with Bec.

(TENSE MUSIC PLAYS)

Where do I begin?

I sat there and I was... How did you hold your breath?

Because we spoke about it before you left.

I was, like, "Do not..." Yeah.

.."mention the messages." Well, I went in thinking...

Did you mention them? She brought it up.

(GASPS) Babe! No! She brought it up.

Yep. (TENSE MUSIC PLAYS)

The one thing I said to David today before he left was,

"Please do not bring up the text messages."

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

And it was brought up and it upset me

because I'm, like... I'm really disappointed

because that is something I wanted to address.

Because she was like... she was apologising.

And then she tried to say she'd seen the other side of Gia...

Oh!

And she's like "It's all Gia's fault."

Gia has a problem with me, but she keeps on making it out like it's me.

But Gia sent them to Juliette to try and throw me under the bus

but hurt you.

At the centre of everything... Mmm.

..is Gia.

I don't know what to believe anymore.

But I don't care how many sorries I get...

Oh, yeah, I'm with you 100%.

..how many sorries... Mmm.

..it needs to be addressed. Yeah.

She knows that you're kind. Mmm.

She's leaning into you and she is manipulating you.

Mmm. But I don't... I don't believe it.

No, but all I did was I said, "Look, you and my wife can sort it out,"

is essentially what I said.

I said, "I'm not going to take away from Alissa,"

but I said...I wasn't cool with it.

But, babe, I asked you, like, not to.

How do you think I felt sitting there?

And the first thing that comes out of her mouth is...

(GROANS) ..the situation.

What did you want me to do?

You should have said "I'm not... This is not for me to step in.

"Like, I don't agree with..." Well, that's what I said. I said...

I know, but, babe, you went there.

I asked you one thing.

I feel like David should have just shut it down completely.

Bec just wants a leg to stand on

because as soon as Juliette obviously brought it up on the couch

she was shitting herself.

You should be careful with how much you are upset about me saying that

when I have screenshots of what you've said about Alissa and David.

It was vile.

(BLEEP, BLEEP, BLEEP). (DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

She wanted to make sure she addressed it with David

to try and back herself somewhat.

But, yeah, I'm pretty upset because, like,

that is something that I wanted to address girl to girl.

I understand you're upset.

And I heard you loud and clear before I left today,

but it's not something that I'm going to...

that I wanted to address.

It's something that you can address with her.

At the end of the day, I am very protective of Alissa

and even though I didn't want to talk about the situation at all,

when Bec brought it up, I felt like I had no choice...

Because it was... I...

The last person I wanted to see was that...was her.

I know that you're pissed. Yeah.

Just as pissed as me. 100%.

I know that you are.

I feel like a (BLEEP) idiot.

I actually feel like an idiot in this whole experiment.

Like, I've been fooled so many times.

Bec's apology means nothing to me.

She has proven over and over again she can't be trusted.

And I know that she's manipulative

because she always gets her (BLEEP) way.

I'm a nice girl. I know.

I trusted Gia and Bec. Yeah.

I've forgiven them both. I've... And then still, it's just...

That's what, like, hurts me a bit.

Like, honestly, I hate seeing you like this.

And it...it just frustrates me.

(CRIES) (DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

(CRIES) I don't know what to believe anymore.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

And down the hall...

Bec is awaiting Danny's return from his partner-swap task.

(DOOR OPENS) DANNY: Hello, babe.

Hello, darling. How are you? (LAUGHS)

Good. How was your day?

My day was (BLEEP) amazing. (LAUGHS) Who did you see?

How was yours? Good.

Who did you see? (LAUGHS)

The better question would be, "Who did I not see?"

(LAUGHS) What?

I was meant to see Gia. But she stood me up. (LAUGHS)

First time I've ever been stood up in my life.

And it's by Gia. So funny.

(LAUGHS) The streak is over, so that's hilarious.

So did you speak to anyone? No. No-one.

I just had a couple of beers in Bondi,

chilled out, walk on the beach, done my thing,

come back here.

I started shagging birds when I was 14.

I'm now 34.

20 years. I've never been stood up once.

So it had to happen... had to happen eventually.

Out of interest, why do you reckon she didn't show up?

Honestly, I think she probably thought it could be you.

And if you've lied about someone

and then you have to sit there face to face with them

where you can't run away... It's confronting, isn't it?

It's confronting.

When you've lied someone, right,

and you've lied about someone and you've gone at them...

Only the other night at the commitment ceremony,

she told me to shut the (BLEEP) up.

She probably thought "There's a slim chance I could get Daniel

"and I can't...I can't do that."

Even if it was a 10% chance, she couldn't risk it.

I also truly believe that she's not interested in showing any flaws

in her relationship.

She's not keen on that

and I think that would be why she's probably refused to do it.

A bit of you, bit of...

Do you know what I think's funny, though?

She hasn't disrespected me because she doesn't owe me nothing,

but she's actually disrespected Scott

because this task, she could have brought them closer together

if she got some genuine feedback.

Because she didn't show up, she's got no feedback.

Who did you have, by the way? David.

Yeah. How'd you go? (DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

When Juliette left the commitment ceremony,

she sent Alissa and David all of the text messages.

David read them, then? David and Alissa. Yep.

Oh, god. Yeah. And so...

What did they say, obviously,

because I don't even know what they said.

Babe, I don't remember what they said.

(READS ONSCREEN MESSAGES)

I did apologise to him for the messages.

I'm just apologising over and over and over and over and over.

And I get it. I've done the wrong thing.

But I just feel like it's just something...

It's just... It's just never ending.

Honestly, like, (BLEEP) how much more apologising can I do?

Like, and I will because I have to

and I'm in the wrong for writing them.

But... (BLEEP), like, I'm just...I'm on empty.

Things that happened two months ago,

Gia keeps bringing up to the forefront of issues

and Alissa and David...

Juliette that brought them up, though, by sending the messages.

But Gia sent them to Juliette and they were sent two months ago.

I'm actually just so tired, babe.

You say you're tired of it. Imagine how David feels.

Yeah, I know. He'd be so sick of it.

Yeah, of course.

And I know, like, you're saying that Gia sent the messages to Juliette,

but the reality is, if you didn't send them messages

in the first place,

she wouldn't have no screenshots to send.

I don't care what someone had done to me or how I was feeling.

I don't send abusive messages. Like, that's just me.

You can't condone it.

She's like trying to say, "Oh, Gia sent them to Juliette,"

but I'm like, "But you sent them in the first place."

Without you sending them, there is no screenshots,

so that doesn't really fall with me.

It all does go back to Bec.

So, yet again, our relationship

is just, like, almost smeared with all this other stuff.

Like, what about that conversation was about us?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

She's worried about the screenshots

that are going to be brought up at the next dinner party,

but it's, like, they probably will be.

If people want to say a few things to her

and call her out of order and stuff like that,

then she has to just take that on her chin, to be honest.

So you've just got to round up and apologise in front of...

Again. ..the group again...

Yeah. ..and then move on from it...

Yeah.

..and just don't do no dumb shit like that in future.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

(CRYING)

(CRYING CONTINUES)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

(BRIGHT MUSIC PLAYS)

NARRATOR: With the partner-swap phase finished,

Chris is waiting for Sam to return.

Sam was left feeling pressured

after Chris revealed at the commitment ceremony

that he had a firm plan for the pair outside of the experiment.

I think what it would probably look like is just, like, say, we go,

"Well, everything ticks the boxes,"

we'd have a place in Sydney, so he'd go to Sydney.

I would stay primarily at the farm

and maybe we can float back and forth for a bit

from Sydney to the farm.

Ah, someone's been thinking about this...

Well... ..in quite a bit of detail. (LAUGHS)

I think that's what it would look like if we are successful

and I want us to be successful.

But he has a lot of stuff to do in the city, whereas I'm, like,

cool to be at the farm full-time.

But after a constructive chat with Filip

about the need to discuss this issue with Chris...

Like, I just feel like I didn't get a say or a voice at all.

If we'd come to that decision together...

FILIP: Of course. ..it would have landed a lot better.

Well, now, you don't feel like you're writing your story.

Yeah.

You really need to verbalise what your plans are,

because this is a partnership... Yeah.

..you know.

Sam is returning to the apartments feeling encouraged.

Coming off the back of talking to Fil,

I feel like I can take a step forward

in finding a resolution from Chris.

So I really hope that we work through it together

and that he can open up a little bit to my point of view of things.

Yeah, it was good chatting with Fil.

The one thing that did come up with him

is that, like, when we sat on the commitment ceremony couch

and the experts were, like, what's the plan for us...

..um, and you sort of said, like, "'Oh, this is how it works.

"Then we move to Sydney and we can go here and we'll go here."

That's the first time I heard that plan.

Yeah.

And it was kind of like you've just like made a decision

on how this is going.

Oh, no... Actually, no, that's not true.

I said if we were to work and if we survive outside of this experiment,

I said the most ideal plan would look like

us getting a place in Sydney and then living at the farm.

Just being, like, "That's not how it happened,"

like, that's how it happened for me.

Yep.

So, like, disregarding that... like, I sat there

and this is what I heard you say

and it felt like you were saying, "This is the only way."

Um...

Oh, I'm just... I'm shocked.

Like, he's instantly defensive when I try to bring up something

that didn't feel nice for me.

It's just, like, I don't know, it just...

I'm not used to being spoken to that sharply, I guess.

Yeah, that's just a conversation

I would have rather had the two of us before,

like, any sort of plan was like, suggested...

No, it wasn't a plan. It was a suggestion.

It was, um...

Well, the plan is a suggestion, right?

Well, it would be like, "This is the most ideal scenario."

Can you empathise at all that might have felt like a bit, like...

No, but they asked the question.

They said, you know, "Are you looking at the future?"

And I answered it. (DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

Um...

Already, I don't feel like I have much leeway or, like, input

into how this can work

because it's kind of like if it is going to work with us,

it's got to work your way, because you have heaps on.

But it doesn't mean that, like, I don't...

Like, it would be nice for you to maybe, like, mention sometimes

that it is a big weight on my shoulders.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

I think it's ridiculous. I'm 38. I've got a kid coming.

I don't need to argue about coming up with an idea for us

after the experiment.

I mean, I got asked a question and I answered it.

I just feel like it's a bit ridiculous, to be honest.

Yeah.

If someone said that and I was in Sam's position,

for me, I'd be like, "Oh, my god, that's so cute. They're coming up...

"He's thinking outside the experiment."

Um... I wouldn't have taken it the way that he's taken it.

Also, he said, like, "You're not showing me a lot of empathy."

I get called an empath all the time.

Well, I said that you'll be giving up a lot.

That's a big change for you as well. But it wasn't, like, a set plan.

Like, you could have just chimed in.

Yeah. I mean, yeah... I mean...

I feel like you're getting really, like, defensive with me now.

I'm not getting defensive at all.

Well, even like a little "Sorry it felt like that..."

I'm sorry that it felt like that. OK. Cool. Like...

Yeah, I'm sorry that it felt that way, but...

Lead with that.

Yeah. Um, I can't even remember what language I used, but...

Yeah, it was not a big deal. Yeah.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS) Yeah.

Yeah.

(SIGHS)

I don't know how I feel.

When someone tells me that something I did hurt them,

I'll always lead with apology.

But instead he was like, "Nah, that's not what I said"

and cut me off when he did that

and then proceeded to tell me what he said.

Um...

I was just looking for... just to be heard.

Um...

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

(RESOUNDING MUSIC PLAYS)

It's a brand-new day...

How'd you sleep? Great.

..and whilst feedback week is bringing

some of our couples closer...

There we go. You did great, sweetie.

(BOTH LAUGH)

..following their first fight last night,

Chris is feeling offended with the comment Sam made

about him not being empathetic.

(TENSE MUSIC PLAYS)

I'm feeling like it's awkward

because there's, like, a bit of tension between us.

It's not been like this.

Yesterday, he said that I have no empathy.

That is so hurtful.

So this morning I've got a clear head.

I've slept on it. Um...

I want to just try and clear it up and move forward.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

How are you feeling after yesterday? Yeah, good.

Yeah, cool.

Yeah. I said everything I wanted to say.

Mm-hm. Um...

Yeah. Yeah, I just feel like, um...

I'd just like to revisit it quickly,

just so that I can, like, move forward.

Yeah.

So, as hard as it was for you, it was equally as hard for me.

And I think you said, like, I wasn't showing any empathy or whatever.

So that's kind of hurt me a little bit

because, you know, everyone knows me as an empath.

Like, I am quite empathetic to people.

And I didn't realise that you felt like I was not showing any empathy.

Like, I felt like I needed more empathy around that situation.

Mmm.

So you need more empathy about the moving situation?

Yeah, I just feel like you're maybe, like,

sweeping it under the rug a little bit how big a deal it was.

That's what it felt like. OK.

Yeah. Yeah.

When Mel asked me that question,

it was just a throwaway, like, thought that I had

while I was on a run.

I do feel, like, yeah, maybe that that comment was...

maybe misconstrued or whatever.

I'm happy to, like...just, like, move forward from it.

Even now, I feel like you're getting defensive.

I'm not getting defensive.

I'm having a conversation. OK.

I'm just sitting here listening to you.

I think the saying the "He didn't give me empathy" comment hurt him,

I guess, because he sees himself as quite an empath...

But I think asking for more empathy

shouldn't really be met with defensiveness.

He's still defensive.

But again, he didn't like me saying that today, yeah.

I'm super sensitive to, like... to sharp talking, I guess.

I'm not used to it at all. Mm-hm.

It's not how I, like, ever communicate.

Yeah. Um... So maybe just, like, if...

yeah, you could be a little bit wary of that.

Sure. I'll take that on board.

Um... I am sad. I'm disappointed.

This has all stemmed from the comment that I made on the couch.

(TENSE MUSIC PLAYS)

Sam's upset that I didn't consult him prior to thinking about this.

I thought it was cute.

I thought it was admirable that I had thought ahead of the experiment.

He obviously feels different.

He also feels that I was too defensive.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

I disagree. I think I just tried to communicate with him this morning.

It doesn't seem to be going anywhere.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

So, yeah, unfortunately it's a bit awks.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

As feedback week continues..

BEC: Oh, I hate these boxes.

..Bec and Danny receive a familiar task, the honesty box.

"What is one dream or goal of yours

"that you wouldn't be willing to give up for me?"

(LAUGHS)

But will it derail their relationship again?

It's not just all fun and games.

It's just not. (LAUGHS)

I don't know why I'm laughing.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

(LAUGHS)

Don't touch me. I'm joking, I'm joking.

(LAUGHS) You're pissing me off.

(LAUGHS) You're absolutely pissing me off.

(RESOUNDING MUSIC PLAYS)

NARRATOR: As feedback week continues,

the experts have prepared another task for our couples.

(KNOCK AT DOOR)

Mmm... Oh, no...

That's the gift that keeps on giving.

FILIP: Oooh!

Yo.

As the experiment enters its final weeks,

it's time for the couples to think about taking their relationships

outside the experiment

and consider any hurdles they may face.

(BRIGHT MUSIC PLAYS)

Oh. I know that box. I've seen that...

I remember it well. I've seen that before.

One of the tools we use to assist this process is the honesty box,

which will ask our couples to face these hard issues.

"As you all know, life outside the experiment

"may come with some pretty hefty hurdles."

"We hope that you can tackle these hard topics head on together,

"not only answering the questions honestly

"but providing feedback, framework and insight."

For our couples, these questions will test

whether they are able to align on their futures.

Stella and Filip jump straight into the challenge.

Shall we? Yeah.

"Do you see me as a mother/father of your children?"

Yes, I do see you as a father of my children.

You have great genes. Stud.

We both align on so many things.

Yes, it would be definitely awesome on that front.

And you'd be a really good MILF.

(BOTH LAUGH)

(RESOUNDING MUSIC PLAYS)

"If we had to do long distance for a while,

"how much contact do you expect?"

Once every fortnight at least for three months.

And then we move up to Sydney.

I like that.

For Rachel and Steven,

this task offers an opportunity to open up.

"Can you see yourself falling in love with me?"

Can I see myself falling in love with you?

The way things are going, yes, I can.

You're accepting me for my flaws. You're leaning into my hobbies.

You're just an amazing woman.

Oh, that makes me feel really good. It really does.

And it makes me really excited for the future.

I'm gonna swipe this box. It's good. Um...

Keep all sorts of things in here. Keep all our trinkets.

Keep some lures in there. Eh! Eh!

(BOTH LAUGH)

For Bec and Danny...the honesty box is bringing back some memories.

So what's it like?

Like, another lot like the first...? Honesty box.

Like the box on the honeymoon? Yeah.

That one went well, didn't it?

Do you feel any sexual chemistry with me?

(TENSE MUSIC PLAYS)

Not too much, to be honest with you.

No.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

(SCOFFS)

Ah, (BLEEP) box.

Oh, every time we've done one of these, it's gone bad!

Do you know I'd rather have done?

I'd rather have someone, whack, kick me straight in the bollocks.

I would.

It's so hard for me to sit there and answer questions

and talk about my feelings.

I'm not the type of guy to be, "Oh, I feel like this."

Like, who's...who's like that? I want to know, because I'm not.

Ready?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

I'm excited for this task because we haven't talked about

how nice it, you know... realised that I was in love

with him on a commitment ceremony couch in front of the experts

and all of our friends.

I love you.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

Jesus.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

I don't even know what to say to that.

I know that he's not at that...that place yet.

And when it comes to these sorts of tasks,

like, I know he gets uncomfortable because he's a man

and, you know, talking about his feelings and stuff is hard.

But I'm hoping we can be super vulnerable and honest

because there's a whole life outside of this

that we need to be thinking about.

Oh... "What is one dream or goal of yours

"that you wouldn't be willing to give up for me?"

Um... Oh...

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

I'll be honest.

One would... One would hope you've always been honest.

With me and the boys, right, we had a little trip to Rio planned.

Yeah. There's a boys' trip.

And...? I'm going on that.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

Daniel... (LAUGHS)

I'm joking.

What's the question? One goal?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

"One goal of yours that you would...

"that you wouldn't be willing to give up for me?"

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

Oh, kids. Yeah?

Yeah. I want to be a father. Do you know what I mean?

Mm-hm.

Maybe because I've just been called 'daddy' for years, like...

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS) (LAUGHS)

I'm joking.

But do you know what I mean?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

I just expected him to take it a little bit more seriously.

I mean, look, like, I love him the way he is.

He's a jokester. Like, every day is hilarious and fun.

(LAUGHS)

Don't touch me. I'm joking. I'm joking.

But there's a time and a place for joking around.

You're pissing me off. (LAUGHS)

You're absolutely pissing me off. (LAUGHS) Why?

This isn't just a task that the experts have given us

and it's a hee-hee, ha-ha...

and by him acting like that,

it makes me feel like he's not serious about this relationship.

It's not just all fun and games. It's just not.

Just sometimes it's, like, there's a place for humour...

Sometimes you want me to drop the jokes.

Yeah. I want you to...to, like...

Like, today, I feel like... (LAUGHS)

I don't know why I'm laughing. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, because I'm trying not to.

She weren't finding me funny. (LAUGHS)

Oh, she didn't find it funny, did she?

I try and crack some jokes to, like, make light of it

and just have some fun with it, because I find them a bit awkward.

I don't know, a lot of these questions I've never thought about.

So I'm thinking on my feet

and then I start to give her an answer

and, like, it's, like, the wrong answer.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

Bec to Danny. Oh, god.

"Do you think you will fall in love with me and why?"

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

Do I think I will fall in love with you and why?

I want to be very careful how I answer this question.

Um...

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

BEC: Bec to Danny.

"Do you think you will fall in love with me? And why?"

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

Do I think I'll fall in love with you? And why?

I want to be very careful how I answer this question.

Um...

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

I'd assume I will. Yeah.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

Am I there yet? No.

Do I think it's going to go there? Probably.

(TENSE MUSIC PLAYS)

Doesn't make you feel too good.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

OK. What do you mean?

What's that face for?

I knew that he wasn't at that stage, right?

I knew that, but using the words of 'potential', 'I assume', 'maybe',

it's like, "No, I'm here, I'm in this.

"I want to make this work and this is how we're going to do it."

Like, that's what I need.

Not ha-ha, jokey, jokey.

"I might love you, I might not." Whatever.

That's not going to work for me.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

Good job, buddy.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS) Why are you being like that?

Oh, I hate these boxes.

You know, who does he think he is?

How dare you not think that you could fall in love with me.

I'm the best thing that you'll ever get.

The end.

Like, anyway...

(RESOUNDING MUSIC PLAYS)

The couples are about to be set a new task

which will allow the feedback they give to be taken to the next level.

(KNOCK AT DOOR)

Do you want me to get it? Yep.

STEVEN: Oh, look what it is.

GIA: I hope it's an apology from the experts

for setting me up with Danny yesterday.

It's time for the anonymous feedback letter.

As the participants move through the experiment together,

they have had a front-row seat to each other's relationships.

This year, we have devised a new task

which will ask our couples to think long and hard

outside of their own relationships.

"For this task, you will write an 'anomynous', honest

"and constructive letter to another couple in the experiment."

Anonymous. 'Anomynous'.

'Anomynous'. I said 'anomynous'.

Is he saying it right?

STELLA: "This is your chance to tell them

"what you really think about their relationship,

"where you see the positives."

"But also where you believe they need to make changes

"if they want to succeed outside the experiment."

By staying anonymous, they can be completely honest

with any critical feedback.

STEVEN: "Include a clear suggestion they can work on together.

"This may be a ritual, a conversation,

"a task, or something else you think that could benefit them."

(REFLECTIVE MUSIC PLAYS)

Alissa and David are writing their anonymous feedback letter

to Rachel and Steven.

Now we just got to brainstorm.

This is the best possible outcome

because David and I are very close to Rachel and Steven

and Rachel's my best friend

and I've given Steven some great feedback yesterday

and it's even better that I get to put it in writing with my husband.

What are you hoping that Rachel and Steven get out of this?

Um... I'm just going to be a straight shooter and say

Stevo needs to put on his captain's hat today and run the show.

Be the boss for the day. Yeah.

Rachel needs to allow Steven to lead.

Yeah, she just sits back and let him run the day, run the show.

The goal of me and Alissa's anonymous letter today

to Rachel and Steven

is to hopefully get Steven to take the lead

so that they can get closer together, can get intimate.

And then I feel like... Oh, my gosh, this is my brain now.

(LAUGHS) What?

Is there something Rachel...

I don't think Steven's gonna want to do this, but it's an idea.

Davo and I have a surprise for Steven.

He's gonna die.

I'm so excited for Rachel. She's gonna love this task today...

This is the golden product. (LAUGHS)

..because it's about time we crack the whip on Steven.

And I feel like the task we've given him today is a really good one.

It's going to make Rachel feel special

and he'll feel good about it.

We've got to seal the deal by deal, babe.

Seal the deal. Alright, we're gonna fold it up.

Oh, you're gonna kiss it? OK.

Ready? Are you gonna headbutt it?

We're gonna headbutt it. Mwah!

Great. Wait.

You gotta put some...

Oh, my god, it looks so beautiful on you.

(BLEEP). (LAUGHS)

OK, rub them together. Give them a kiss.

Go on. Mwah.

I don't want my... Kiss it like you mean it.

Goddammit!

Kiss it.

Hey, Steven, you better take this seriously.

I even had to put on lipstick for you.

Like, what more do you want, bro?

Get down and dirty with your wife.

(LAUGHS)

(LAUGHS)

(KNOCK AT DOOR)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

STEVEN: Oh.

Oh, my.

(TENSE MUSIC PLAYS)

I don't know what this is. (RACHEL LAUGHS)

What do you know?

There's a piece of paper with some red markings on

and an interesting-looking instrument.

Well, I've been around the block a few times

and I believe I've seen these things before.

This is not what I think it is, is it?

RACHEL: It's an actual lipstick, babe.

I thought this was a sex toy for a minute there.

Why do they have to shape it like that for?

(LAUGHTER)

Um... "Racho and Stevo..." (LAUGHS) It's Alissa.

(GENTLE MUSIC PLAYS) You reckon it is?

Yeah, it's Alissa. She's the only one who calls me Racho.

She's so cute. Oh, gosh. I don't know.

OK. (LAUGHS)

"Racho and Stevo.

"Hey, guys.

"It's your secret admirers

"who have been watching and observing your relationship

"from the beginning.

"Your connection is undeniable

"and we can see you guys taking the experiment

"out into the real world.

"Racho, it's your turn.

"It's time to be a passenger princess.

"It's time to let Stevo put his captain hat on

"and lead for the day.

"Also, your task is to give Racho 20 kisses.

"The red lipstick needs to be used, Stevo,

"so Racho can count her kisses."

This is for you, babes.

There's lipstick...for me.

Kind of wish it was a vibrator now.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

At least it smells alright. We are not doing that right now.

No, I'm not. (BOTH LAUGH)

That's for Racho and Stevo time.

This is a really great opportunity for us to progress our intimacy.

So I want it to be...

I would like Steven and I to do this in a private setting

because I want it to be taken seriously.

I want this to be a really nice, romantic,

intimate moment that's just for us.

Yeah.

I actually think it's a really respectful task.

I'm really happy for Steven to take the lead

and Alissa knows that I want that from him,

but she also knows her girl pretty well.

Like, I will very easily fall into, like, taking the lead.

"OK, let's do this. Let's do that."

Like, you know, so I feel like both tasks are really good.

It's all you, boo.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS) It's all you.

Ai-yai-yai!

(LAUGHS)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

Still to come...

(TENSE MUSIC PLAYS)

RACHEL: Are you making me a microwave meal?

(LAUGHS)

..Steven takes the lead with Rachel.

I kind of went heavy on the cheese. Oh, well, that's not a bad thing.

Only the best for my wife. (LAUGHS)

And...

"Has the shine of your relationship..."

Here, let me read it. .."dimmed?"

It's a joke. Yep. (DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

No, thanks.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

Bye.

..it all becomes too much for Gia.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

SCOTT: Gia wants to leave.

Good evening.

(TENSE MUSIC PLAYS)

NARRATOR: It's Gia and Scott's turn to write the anonymous letter

to Alissa and David.

And after refusing to participate in the partner-swap task,

Gia's mood hasn't improved.

We can start, um...

getting our hands to work and start writing.

(LAUGHS)

Feedback week has been tough for us.

So we had an argument this week

and we were feeling a little bit off each other.

Yesterday's task wasn't ideal.

I didn't end up going on the task on the feedback meeting

because I just didn't want to.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

So I just want to get my letter done

and, yeah, I'm ready for this week to be over, to be honest.

I'd say positives is how Dave is very understanding...

calm and collected.

He's good to lean on. Like, he's... So just say one positive at a time.

Um... Understanding. Um, Dave is understanding.

Yeah.

He's... Not all about him.

We're gonna do one for her now. Oh, yeah.

She brings the energy into their... Yeah.

..into their relationship.

So that's how they match into this even level, like...

OK. Negatives.

Um, can David long-term handle and sustain Alissa's energy?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

And also, Alissa needs to give more reassurance.

Yeah, well, I'll get to that.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

So the energy is a bit low. I think Gia's really on the edge of just...

Yeah, I think all the tasks we've had this week,

it's just... she doesn't want to do them.

Is David the type that can always be up for Alissa's challenges?

Well... No, you... No.

There's one thing that... Hold on, hold on, hold on.

Alright, I'm just trying to help. Shh. I'm trying to think. Hold on.

(MUMBLES INDISTINCTLY)

Yeah, like, whatever I say doesn't matter.

A suggestion they can work on or a task.

What's a task, then?

Something... I don't know, Scott.

I have no idea. Like, I can't... I'm sorry.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

(BRIGHT MUSIC PLAYS)

Feedback week really getting to you, babe.

You've got all this tension built up in your traps.

(LAUGHS)

(BOTH LAUGH) (KNOCK AT DOOR)

Oh. You're kidding. I'll go.

I'll go. Alright.

You chill. OK.

I'm so excited to get feedback.

I always think that any feedback is good,

even if it's from someone that, you know,

you don't even really want to receive feedback from.

So I'm hoping there's some golden nuggets in there.

"David and Alissa." Oh, wow.

Alright, let's read it.

"Dear David and Alissa.

"We think you two are a really strong couple.

"David, you are calm, collected and understanding.

"Alissa, you bring so much energy and fun into the relationship.

"However, David has mentioned that in this relationship

"he needs more reassurance.

"Alissa, we think that's something that you could work on."

"David, we know you love Alice's energy,

"but do you think long-term you can handle it?

"Our task we are giving you,

"that you both write an open and honest letter with one another,

"discussing the things written in this letter..."

That does not make sense. That makes no sense.

Hang on.

ALISSA: If they honestly just want us to write a letter

about a letter that they've just given us...

They want us to write a letter about a letter.

A letter about the letter with the things that are in this letter.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

That's...

It's all slanted and it's not straight.

OK. It's Gia and Scott.

Gia and Scott for sure.

David and I believe that Gia and Scott wrote our letter today.

That is definitely Gia's handwriting

and that is definitely Gia to the tee.

It was a lazy effort. They didn't even think outside the box.

Yeah.

I would like something fun or something to...

I agree... ..spice things up...

Yeah. ..or, you know, make us connect.

Mmm.

What we did for Rachel and Steven was fun.

That was nice and well thought of.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

It's kind of killed my buzz. Yeah.

The fact that Gia has been putting all this effort in recently

to build back some trust and a friendship with me

and the fact that she only put not much energy into that letter,

that feedback letter,

just goes to show

that she's obviously not invested in this friendship

or David and I's relationship.

And that goes for Scotty too.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

What do you want to do about that?

Do you want to write a letter to each other

or do you want to take a pass?

I'll be honest and say we'll just take the pass.

(LAUGHS) Me too. Yeah. There's no point.

I feel like me and Alissa not taking part in this latest task

and doing something ourselves will actually bring us closer together

than this letter ever will.

In fact, I mean, is Joel anywhere around?

Because I think Teddy might give me and Alissa

way better feedback on our relationship.

Put it in the bin. (LAUGHS) Yeah, literally.

Might as well just... (LAUGHS) use it as toilet paper.

(LAUGHS)

Sorry. We don't want to waste the trees, but...

(LAUGHS)

Oh, I don't know what's wrong with me.

Not my glamorous moment.

And down the hall, armed with a strict task to take the lead,

Steven has taken it upon himself to plan a romantic date...

How you going over there, babe? RACHEL: Good.

..and is pulling out all of the stops.

Alright.

(GENTLE MUSIC PLAYS)

Don't you look at what I'm doing. (LAUGHS)

Oh, look, I'm a little bit of a hopeless romantic

and a little bit of a dope with this taking the lead thing.

So, how are you feeling, passenger queen?

Excited for one of my old ancient recipes?

(LAUGHS) I'm intrigued.

(LAUGHS)

(LAUGHS)

You know what?

Screw it. (BEEPING)

Are you making me a microwave meal?

Only the best for my wife.

(BOTH LAUGH)

Dammit! (LAUGHS)

You just sit tight there and... Keep looking at the wall?

Yeah. I'm almost... (BOTH LAUGH)

I'm almost ready.

Pro tip from Stevo - there's two ways to a woman's heart.

Either it's chocolate or cheese.

I may well have...

You know what, the thought is there. (LAUGHS)

What did you make? I kind of went heavy on the cheese.

Oh, well, that's not a bad thing.

I thought, quick evening nachos.

Cute!

Yeah, the cheese kind of fell out. I love it.

He made me some really bad nachos

and I'm really, really happy about it. (LAUGHS)

I just think it's really sweet, you know.

It's something so simple and so sweet.

No-one makes nachos like me, though, do they?

No.

And maybe they shouldn't.

(BOTH LAUGH)

Don't judge the nachos just because they look sad.

They were still delicious. Made with love.

My love.

Thought this can be, like, a little sample of what's to come.

It's me trying to take the lead.

I know I murdered the nachos,

but I actually do want to take you out on a proper day

and not just be in the apartment.

I'm excited, you know.

By you taking the lead, it means a lot to me when you do

so I'm very excited.

Oh, good.

It's only a taste. It's only a dibble.

Just the fact that he's organising a day and thinking about me,

it just excites me

because it reminds you that you are appreciated.

Want a nacho kiss? Yeah, why not?

(LAUGHS) Tasty.

(LAUGHS)

These things are a serious topic in our relationship,

but fun and playfulness is actually how we're going to get there.

So, yeah, I'm really grateful to my secret admirer. (LAUGHS)

Oh, cheers, anyway. Thank you.

I know I'm a bit of a dork, but... I like it.

(BOTH LAUGH)

NARRATOR: As Gia and Scott await their anonymous feedback letter,

Gia's mood has only worsened.

GIA: Can you please not do that right near me right now

with the (BLEEP) floss?

It's going to send me into a rage.

Um...

(TENSE MUSIC PLAYS)

The energy is...

like, at the moment. yeah, it's a little bit tiring.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

But I care about her and I want this to work.

I don't want to have any more conflict or strain

in our relationship,

so I'm trying to help as much as possible to get through it.

There's only so much I can do.

Want me to read it?

Can I?

Yeah. Oh...

Do you want to? It's long. Jesus.

(LAUGHS) Give it to me.

Give it to me.

(TENSE MUSIC PLAYS)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

Can you read it?

(BLEEP) this.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

You can read it.

"Dear Scott and Gia.

"It's been great to see how your marriage and connection

"has flourished in this experiment.

"From the outside looking in,

"we see that you have a great physical connection

"and physical intimacy.

"You're both committed and united.

"This is a great foundation for a long-lasting marriage.

"But, Gia, do you take notice

"as to how much effort, reassurance Scott gives you?

"Do you give the same reassurance to Scott?"

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

"Another thing to consider,

"has the shine of your relationship..."

(TENSE MUSIC PLAYS)

Here, let me read it. .."dimmed?"

It's a joke. Yep.

"Another thing to consider,

"has the shine of your relationship..."

Yeah, they've written it wrong.

"Has the shine of your relationship...has been dimmed

"by external distractions?

"Our suggestion would be, Gia fully remove yourself from group chats,

"all the gossip and so-called drama

"and just 100% focus on your relationship."

I have, Bec. Don't worry about that. Um...

"This will totally block out any unwanted distractions,

"need for external validation, hopefully the need for drama.

"Focus on the emotional connection.

"We challenge both of you

"to withhold physical intimacy for ten days."

To hold physical intimacy? To not have sex for ten days.

(LAUGHS) No. (LAUGHS) No.

I thought the letter was stupid.

I didn't get anything good from that.

It would have been better if they gave us actual advice

that was based on facts.

It was just stupid and pointless

and like... no physical touch for ten days.

If we're moving towards final vows

and I'm going to move interstate for this man,

I'm not going to not touch him for ten days.

I think that's just stupid advice.

And, yeah, I'm not going to take it.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

We're not going to not be physical

because that's healthy in a relationship.

That's not good advice.

And also I'm not part of any group chats.

I was only ever in a group chat with Bec

and I don't think Bec would write that

because she knows I'm not in it, so now I'm, like, "Who was that?"

How do you think that the letter went down?

I just think that she and Scott are just cackling to themselves.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

It's someone who doesn't know us well.

It's someone who doesn't know us well.

I have no idea who wrote it.

I thought it was Bec initially

because the way that it was written,

it seemed a bit harsh

and a bit like something that she might say to try and piss me off.

But if it was Bec, she'd know I'm not in any group chats anymore.

So, yeah, I have no idea who it is.

I mean, it could very well be her and she's trying to push my buttons.

I have no idea.

But I'm not going to sit here and conspire all day. No idea.

I didn't get anything out of that.

Well, it wasn't useful, really. Did you take anything from it?

Mine's just more covering what they've said a bit more

in terms of the detox and removing ourselves...

We've already spoken about that,

so it's something that I find would help us the most.

Just don't want to be involved in anyone's shit anymore.

That's it. 'Cause I find when everything else...

Yeah, but we've said that. We've done that.

(TENSE MUSIC PLAYS) Anyway, this letter can...

I won't rip the envelope because it's cute, but, no, thanks.

Bye.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

Don't care. Whoever it is, you don't know us.

I think today Gia was not open to feedback whatsoever.

She is not interested.

She has no interest in what anyone has to say.

(SIGHS) For me, I, like, take everything with a grain of salt.

And how the letter was describing, I could see it.

But for me, I didn't say too much

because I know if I'm going to say something,

Gia's not going to respond well, so I feel backed off.

I feel like I can't really talk much lately, to be honest

and, yeah, that does suck

and I should be able to speak my feelings and show all that,

but I feel, yeah...I think this is a part of what's starting

to affect the relationship.

I feel like I'm starting to not be able to get my point out there,

because I know if I speak, she'll probably just start defending.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

She's a very passionate woman.

She's fiery and I know it can come out in a bad way.

And sometimes I think it shouldn't.

So that's one thing I need to either adjust to

or be able to have a conversation with her

without her taking offence to it.

But right now I can't.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

Yeah. That's pretty much it.

What is it? Bloody letter's torn. (LAUGHS)

(STATELY MUSIC PLAYS)

NARRATOR: After a disappointing honesty box challenge,

Danny wants to apologise for upsetting Bec

by creating a romantic surprise for her.

DANNY: Obviously I've been dubbed the king of romance before.

They called me Romeo in a past life.

So I've been reborn.

I'm back in the 21st century, but not much has changed.

So I'm still the king of romance.

(EVOCATIVE OPERATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

(LAUGHS)

Hiya. (LAUGHS)

Hello, sweetheart. Hello, babe.

I got you these. Thanks, babe.

That one's a bit wet because it's been in my mouth.

So I'm going to lead you... I'm going to lead you the way.

Turn around.

Come this way.

First stop. Don't look at the note.

OK. First stop.

What does the one on the table say?

"Enjoy a glass of red." No problem.

You're so cute.

She's obviously been upset

because I didn't take the box task serious,

but, like, I didn't really know how to react.

Talking about my feelings is so, so hard for me.

So there we go. Oh, babe!

Here's a glass. Thanks, baby.

Maybe in hindsight, I could have worded things different

or said things different,

but I was trying to just be as truthful as I could.

So I wanted to apologise for upsetting her

because I don't never want to upset her.

So what I've done for Bec was Post-it notes around the place

with compliments and things I like about her

and just so she knows how I feel about her, essentially.

There we go. Oh, babe!

Now, I'm going to lead you around the room.

I want... I want you to read these out loud

because I don't give you enough compliments.

So I'll give you...well, some notes.

"I love being married to you. You're an amazing wife."

Thanks, babe. (UPLIFTING MUSIC PLAYS)

"You looked amazing in the French maid outfit."

I heard someone ordered a French maid to clean this place up.

(LAUGHS)

I don't know if I ever told you. So I was, like...

You didn't. I should write it down.

Thanks, baby.

Sometimes I don't say it, but I'm thinking it.

So that's what these notes are for.

Oh, my god, I don't feel like I deserve this.

Oh, yeah, that's a nice one to end it on as well.

"I've given a softer side to you

"than I've ever given anyone before."

Have you? Yeah.

(UPLIFTING MUSIC PLAYS)

Thanks.

It was so cute!

The notes just mean, like, everything.

To hear he loves being married to me

and also, "I'm serious about us and our relationship."

It's everything you want to hear.

(GENTLE MUSIC PLAYS)

It's nice, isn't it?

It's so cute.

I just... Like, hearing them and reading them is just like...

It makes me feel really good.

Sometimes I need to hear this.

Yeah, I know. That's why I've done it.

Yeah.

Sometimes when he jokes in the tasks and stuff, I'm like, it...

it hurts because Danny doesn't articulate his feelings.

So I've been questioning him.

And if I had told him that I loved him too soon

because he's not said it back...

But then he does things like this for me and it's just, like...

reminds me this is how he feels.

I think I need to get rid of my insecurities

and just trust that you're here for a reason.

Mmm.

I'm so scared of getting hurt now,

but I just have to let that go, don't I, and just trust.

I promise, I will.

Let's cheers to that.

Cheers. You're the best.

(WARM MUSIC PLAYS)

NARRATOR: After ripping up their anonymous feedback letter

from Stella and Filip,

Gia has reached her breaking point.

(TENSE MUSIC PLAYS)

Why don't you just wait on the couch?

I'll be there in a minute, OK? I'll be there in a minute.

I'll walk in.

(TENSE MUSIC PLAYS)

I don't think Gia's enjoying it anymore.

I think she just wants to get out of here.

And I will say that Gia has said, like, "We want to leave together."

So, at the moment, we both have said, like, "Gia wants to leave..."

And I said, I'll go with her, so... don't know when this would happen.

I'm leaving the ball in her court

because I'm happy to face anything and if we decide to go, we go.

We go together.

SCOTT: Gia wants to leave, and I said I'll go with her.

So, if we decide to go, we go and we go together.

Gia and Scott are leaving. What?

I just saw them with their bags. (DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

I don't know what is going on.

The fact that Gia and Scott are walking out with their bags...

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

..they've obviously got to be somewhere

and they've got more...

better priorities to go to, obviously.

That's wild. They're leaving.

That's insane. I'm, like, lost for words.

That's just a cop out.

We are in this experiment to find love

and to work together as couples and to grow.

And we're only here for three months.

Like, we are nearing to the end.

But they would rather pack their bags and walk off

and I'm, like, "Well, have they checked out of the experiment?"

Tomorrow night...

ALISSA: I feel like I have been caught up in the Gia and Bec war.

It's been toxic from the start.

I refuse to play the game anymore. (GLASS TINKLES)

..Alissa's reached her limit and is standing her ground.

ALISSA: I've had enough.

And it's the first time she'll come face to face with Bec

after those text messages.

BEC: The vibe with Alissa is icy cold.

It was vile and vicious!

Very different vibe tonight, Alissa...

ALESSANDRA: Yes. ..doesn't she?

BEC: Hang on, hang on a minute. Hang on, hang on.

Oh, god. Stop using me!

Why are you laughing?

What bombshell has Sam dropped on Chris

right before the dinner party?

CHRIS: I'm fuming. I feel uncomfortable, I feel betrayed.

I've never had someone do this to me.

And then... DANNY: That needs to stop.

That needs to stop. Well...

..has Danny reached his breaking point?

I want you to be wary about what you text people.

Two months ago, Daniel. Two months ago.

I don't care if it was ten years ago.
