NARRATOR: Previously,
feedback from their peers...

Stevo needs to put on
his captain's hat.

..allowed some couples
to deepen their connections.

There's two ways to a woman's heart,
chocolate or cheese.

Only the best for my wife.

(LAUGHS)

I'm excited by you taking the lead.

It reminds you are appreciated.

Want a nacho kiss?

Thank you for setting tasks

that really understand
the dynamic of Steven and I,

and what we needed.

NARRATOR: Probing questions
reinforced

some were on the same page.

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

NARRATOR: Once again, Danny avoided
direct questions from Bec.

Did you think you will fall in love
with me and why?

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

Um...

NARRATOR: Chris and Sam
were caught in a tense stalemate.

I'm not getting defensive at all!

Well, even, like, your little,
"Sorry it felt like that way."

I'm sorry that it felt that way.
Yeah, cool. Like...

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

Lead with that.

NARRATOR: And despite Scott's
willingness

to get fresh perspective...

I'm definitely going to take it
on board

and I hope Gia does too.

..Gia was less than impressed...

..as her and Scott pulled off
a disappearing act.

Tonight...

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 DINGING)
NARRATOR: 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, doesn't she?

Hang on, hang on a minute.
Hang on, hang on.

Oh, god.

Stop using me!

Why are you laughing?

NARRATOR: 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.

NARRATOR: And then...

But that needs to stop.

That needs to stop.
Well...

NARRATOR: 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
10 years ago.

(GRAND MUSIC SWELLS)

NARRATOR: After a week of honest
feedback about their relationships,

tonight, our couples are coming
together

to reflect and unpack
at the sixth dinner party...

..and after feedback week,
Stella and Filip's relationship

is going from strength to strength.

Would you like a coffee?

No, just peppermint tea, please.
Just peppermint tea.

Yeah, please. Bit of honey.

A bit of honey?
Yeah, why not?

Just spice it up a little bit.

(LAUGHS)

Feedback week was amazing,
to be honest,

trying to understand each other,

and that's definitely
deepened our connection.

I think feedback week
was one of the best weeks.

Yeah!
It still really was.

Like...
It was a good week.

Yeah, everything is going great.

Ready to rumble?

(LAUGHS)

I thoroughly enjoyed it,

so hopefully, everyone else
got much out of it like we did.

(RACHEL LAUGHS)

NARRATOR: For Rachel and Steven,

feedback week brought plenty
to smile about.

I'm actually excited to share
with the group,

like, what a good week we've had.

It was fun, it was flirty,
we were really lucky.

Yeah.

I feel like we've really leant
into feedback.

Like, Steven's definitely
stepped up.

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

"and lead for the day."

(MICROWAVE BEEPS)

Are you making me
a microwave meal?

Only the best for my wife!

(LAUGHS)

No one makes nachos like me though,
do they?

No, and maybe they shouldn't.

(LAUGHS)

I liked that task.

I'd like to do it for more
than one day, actually.

You'll be waking up
and I'll have my sailors hat on

and you'll be like,
"Oh, what's this guy up to?"

(CHUCKLES) I'll know exactly
what you're up to.

(LAUGHS)

NARRATOR: After a bizarre
disappearing act over the weekend...

(TENSE SOUNDTRACK)

..Gia and Scott have returned
to their apartment.

(TENSE SOUNDTRACK)

GIA: I hated feedback week.

I don't know, I just think
everything got to me

and I just wasn't feeling
really good

and I wanted to leave.

I can see the difference in you

with, um, being away
from the experiment, like...

Yeah, I know.

I don't think Gia is good at,
you know,

taking feedback from anyone.

So, I planned ourselves
a nice little weekend getaway

and I feel like it was the best
thing we've ever done.

I think the weekend away
did really well for Scott and I.

I feel much better today
after our weekend.

Yeah.

Everything's been reset,
I feel like we had a factory reset.

I guess the topics of tonight
will probably be...

Feedback week.

The only issues that Scott and I
have in our relationship

are that we're in this experiment

with people that we don't like,

and also, I don't take advice
from people

doing worse than me either.

So, that's the only drama.

Whenever these setbacks
happen for me and Scott,

I think it makes us stronger.

Going into this dinner party
with a smile on our dial

and a spring in our step.

(LAUGHS)
Yeah.

Moving forward, I just want to focus
on Scott and I,

and have fun with the few people
that are here now.

Are we ready to hit the road,
hit this dinner party or what?

Let's do it.

NARRATOR: Gia and Scott weren't
the only couple

who had a difficult feedback week.

I... I've been anxious all weekend.

You know, I've been holding in
some stuff with Chris

that I'm not really happy
with how feedback week ended.

NARRATOR: At the last commitment
ceremony,

Chris's plan for Sam
to move to Sydney

took him by surprise.

Are you starting to think about life
outside the experiment?

I think what it would
probably look like

is he'd to go to Sydney, I would
stay primarily at the farm

and then maybe we can float
back and forth for a bit

from Sydney to the farm.

NARRATOR: But when Sam
raised the issue with Chris...

That's the first time
I heard that plan

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

on how this is going to work.
Oh, no, actually, no.

That's not true.

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

I'm not getting defensive at all!

Well, even like your little,
"Sorry it felt like that way..."

I'm sorry that it felt that way!
OK, cool.

..the argument intensified...

That comment was maybe
misconstrued or whatever.

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

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

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

..leaving things unresolved.

Um, I just feel like Chris
isn't understanding me.

Like, he basically told the experts
a plan

of how it's going to work
after the experiment

without consulting me at all,

and that just made me feel
like I didn't really have a voice

and I wasn't being heard,

and I didn't have much empathy

around how this was all going
to end.

The next day, he tried to turn
the whole thing around on me

and gaslight me,

and the only reason I've held it in

is because I just can't feel like
I can get through to him by myself.

Yeah, going into tonight,
I'm feeling really anxious

about bringing this up

and the anxiety comes

from I don't think it's going to be
received well from Chris.

I can see Chris cutting me off
tonight if I try to talk about it,

so I just need that group dynamic
to bring it up.

But hopefully, with the support
of the group,

maybe we can get there.

NARRATOR: Over the weekend,
feedback week has prompted

a change in Bec and Danny's
relationship status.

What about the fact
that I'm not only a wife

but I'm a girlfriend now?

Like, it still doesn't make
too much sense to me

but whatever, we roll with it.

Danny and I talked about,

you know, are we going to call each
other husband and wife after this?

And he was like, "Well, yeah,
you're my wife."

And I was like, "What about
the security

"of actually being your girlfriend?"

And he was like,
"Will you be my girlfriend?"

And I was like,
"Do you want me to be?"

And he said, "Absolutely."

So, I'm a girlfriend and a wife.

Double parked.

I think it's the security
of like when we leave,

we'll still be husband and wife,
right?

Well, yeah, of course.

Yeah. So, but...

I'm not just going to rip the ring
off and be like, "Right..."

(LAUGHS)

"We're mates."
"It's been good."

But, um...
It's just the security

of it, I think.

It's nice.
Interesting, isn't it?

Tonight, I'm walking
into a dinner party,

not only as a wife in the experiment

but as a girlfriend overall.

It proves that, you know,
he's got my back.

We're ride-or-die
and this is really serious.

It's never been done before.
No.

There's not a wife
who's a girlfriend.

Yeah.

Well, except from you now.
(LAUGHS)

But yeah.
I like it.

Well, when a woman's your wife...

..to go back to being a girlfriend,

almost seems like
you're downgrading.

You know, men, a lot of the time,
we do things we don't want to do

or... Not that I didn't want
to do it, I'm not saying that,

but we just do things to make
these women feel good,

so that's what it was.

How are we feeling about
going to the dinner party, boo?

Feel good, feel relaxed.

I actually feel pretty good as well.

Going into this dinner party

is probably the least stressed
I've been,

but then again, that could be
a really bad omen.

Obviously, like, I've been
on apology tours, like...

You've apologised more
than OJ Simpson.

I know I have.

(BLEEP) And I'm still apologising
now

for messages that were wrote
two and a half months ago.

It's a disaster!
Suck it up, champ.

If Alissa, you know, brings
it up tonight,

then I'm just going to sit
as quiet as a field mouse.

I'm not going to defend someone
who's in the wrong.

Yeah, I don't condone bad behaviour,
even if it's from my wife.

I don't condone it.

But this should be the last time,
I'd assume.

It can't keep coming up.
It has to.

Yeah, I hope we can get
to the end of the sorrys.

Do you know what I mean?

Let's get to the end of them sorrys

because I didn't come
on this experiment

to just hear, "Sorry."

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

NARRATOR: While Bec and Danny
are hoping to move on,

little do they know, the texts
have since been circulated

to the entire group.

(PHONE CHIMES)

(CHIME DINGS)

(CHIME DINGS)

(CHIME DINGS)

Yeah, the text messages
are pretty bleak.

Very descriptive, polarising.

It was so long ago.

It was two months ago
that I wrote this message

when I was furious after I'd gotten
off the phone to Gia and Scott

being told that Alissa and David

were saying that,
"Daniel's not into you,

"he's - you're in a fake
relationship,

"you're this, that, and the other."

And I was like, (BLEEP), you,
you know?

Regardless, if it was six, eight,
10 weeks ago.

A month ago, two months ago,

you still sent it,

you still said it, and what you said
was really, really horrible.

Gia did this on purpose.

She's taken the worst of me,
right...

(CHIME DINGS)
..and left the worst of her

out of it.

Gia's sitting there scot-free
but actually...

(CHIME DINGS)

(CHIME DINGS)

..she's venomous.

I wrote that message, right?
I was angry. I did it.

But at the end of the day,
she's hurting Alissa and David.

Gia, you're hurting
Alissa and David.

(TENSE SOUNDTRACK)

DAVID: Oh, here we go again.

Obviously, I'm feeling
pretty hurt still

from reading the messages
that were sent to me.

I don't even want to use the words
and the language

'cause it's completely foul.

And yeah, I feel like it really
needs to be addressed.

Bec, I read the receipts.

You said those things
about David and I.

Why?

Like, what sparked that fuel

and how does something so hatred
to come out of your mouth?

I'm going to call it out.

100%, and you should.

You don't deserve to be treated
the way they've treated you.

NARRATOR: Since the beginning
of the experiment,

Alissa and David have been the targe
of unwanted scrutiny.

Because I will say, I think
it's a fake showmance.

100%! Agree! I'm sorry,
got to agree!

NARRATOR: Alissa came under fire
at every opportunity...

Excuse me, that's not nice, babe.

That's not kind.
Alissa, shut up!

Shut up, Alissa, you rat-shit idiot!

Excuse me?

So, ultimately, girls...

So, ultimately, I wanted
to be fake as usual!

..and nowhere was safe.

We've literally been staying up
till the late hours just talking.

NARRATOR: Even when it got
too much for Alissa...

I care about what people think,

I care about people's feelings.
You know?

I don't want to have this conflict.

..the blows kept coming...

There's a bit of chatter
around Adelaide,

um, about Bec trying to actually
dig shit up on Alissa.

You're talking to people
in Adelaide, like, about Alissa?

No.

You're not digging up information?

No. Not at all.

..with the texting drama being
the latest in a long line of attacks

Why do you think people
are coming after you?

Ask them.

I don't know. I don't know.

I refuse to play the game anymore,

you know, and be that pawn
in the middle.

I don't care what's going to happen
between Bec and Gia,

you have to speak your truth
and I know you will.

Going into tonight, we've got
each other's backs.

Always.

I have never said a bad word
about anyone,

so I'm not going to tolerate it
anymore.

Enough is enough.

The behaviour needs to be addressed.

Tonight, I am done.

I've just had enough. Had enough.

SCOTT: Today's a good day,
walking into a dinner party.

We've reset, we've refreshed,
vibes are high, and...

(SIREN WAILS)

Don't know about that.

Good timing.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

JOHN: Dinner party number six.

Now, they're coming off
feedback week,

which is always a pivotal part
of the experiment.

(LAUGHS)

And they all have pretty much
a front row seat

to each other's relationships.

They're so intertwined by now,

so it will be really interesting
to see

how they've taken on the feedback

from the other people
in the experiment.

I think everyone's going to kind of
discuss what letters they got,

how they date went.

Danny might be like, "Why didn't you
turn up to the date?"

I'd be like,
"'Cause you're a wanker."

DANNY: Give me your hands.

BEC: It was so cute.

Couples are starting to talk about
beyond the experiment,

which brings up even more,

and I think it's a good time

to be having those conversations

before they go into homestays,

so they can really prepare themselve
to ask that question,

is this relationship going to surviv
outside the experiment?

You look like an absolute queen
today.

Thank you.

And that's the highlight
of my night already

and we haven't even started
the dinner party.

Hopefully, I can get a, you know,
a couple of bites of food down

before someone raises their glass,
and, ding, ding, ding, ding.

"I've got something to say."

Let's go, babe. Oh, it's busy
in here.

Bec and Danny.

How good does my wife look?

Give everyone a twirl.

Not that there's no one in here.

Looking fancy and looking
very together and very comfortable.

Yes, playful.

Yes.
Yes.

Ooh!
Thanks, baby.

I'll have a little one with you.

OK. That's cute.

Not the tension that we saw
from these two last week,

walking into that cocktail party.

At least, we're coming
into this dinner party

in such a good spot.

You didn't run away.

I didn't run - I always show up.

You always show up, babes.

Unlike Gia.

(LAUGHS)

Big news this week is you're now
my wife and my girlfriend.

MEL: Any wonder Bec's looking
so happy and relaxed.

She got a whole lot of validation.

Danny asking me to be his girlfriend
definitely gives me reassurance.

It just feels like it's not just
the experiment,

but it's real life
and it's really important.

Is it important to you or not?

I'm not going to lie,
not that important

'cause, like, I take this experiment
seriously anyway,

so like, when we got married,
getting married on national TV

is about as serious as it gets,
do you know what I mean?

So, I was just like, but yeah,

if it's important to you,
it's important to me.

That's right.
It's one of them ones.

That's right.

I'm just not looking forward
to having to...

..deal with the text messages,

well, one text message that I sent
from two months ago

to a group of women that I thought
were my friends

that I've obviously seen
that aren't.

Bec shouldn't have sent
the messages.

I have said that to her.

It's hard for me to defend her.

As her husband, it puts me
in a bad situation

because I feel like I'm letting
her down

when I don't defend her,

but it's also, I don't condone
that behaviour,

so I don't want to defend her.

I have all these text messages
that Gia has written

about these people
but I wouldn't stoop to that level

of sending them out to people

because as much as Gia annoys me,

I don't want to hurt all these other
people that she's talked about.

Gia's come to war with me,
like, she just needs to stop.

I'm sick of it.

Hey!
Hey!

Hey!
Hey!

Oh, look at you!

Oh, Stella and Filip.

JOHN: Here we go!

Another happy, confident entrance.

Yes.
Great to see.

A sparkling mineral...
BEC: You guys had a good week?

Yes, we did.
Yeah, we've had a good week.

It was probably one of the best
weeks, to be fair.

Babe, same!

(SQUEALS)
Oh, hi!

Oh, hello!

(LAUGHS)

Rachel and Steve.
Rachel and Steve.

Keeping out of trouble?

Trying to. (LAUGHS)
Oh...

No, I'm keeping out of trouble.
No, I'm screwing with you guys.

No, it's been good.
Hold the chat!

I didn't just become a wife.

I'm now a girlfriend.

Oh! OK!

(LAUGHS)
Oh!

Cheers, guys! Oh, it's an empty
glass, but like, cheers.

Cheers to that. Congratulations.

That's cute AF.

Excuse me, you didn't ask me
to be your girlfriend.

I did.
You didn't ask me

to be your girlfriend.
Yes, I did,

and what you tell me?
What?

"We're not going backwards."
OK, yeah.

(LAUGHTER)
True? Yeah? Yeah? Yeah?

(TENSE SOUNDTRACK)

DAVID: I'm proud of you
showing up tonight.

Or just there to show
that you are a strong person

and not because you need
to tear other people down.

ALISSA: I've never done that.
We've always been kind

and I don't understand the why.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

I just want some clarity.

Yeah, I think we all deserve
that clarity.

I think we just some clarity

and just to put it to bed
for once and for all.

(LAUGHTER)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(CHEERING)
Hey!

Here she is!

Hi!

MEL: Oh, Alissa and David.

All smiles.

ALESSANDRA: They're very cute.

Always so affectionate.

Love the blue liner on your eyes.
They're so sexy!

(TENSE SOUNDTRACK)

I saw Bec and I'm always kind.

I'm going to say hello,
I'm going to give her a hug.

You look like J-Lo.

Hey! Mwah!

You look like J-Lo.

ALISSA: But inside, I'm like,

oh, this person has stabbed me
so hard in the back.

I've seen the messages.

How vicious and how hurtful
they were.

I don't know what's going on here
but I'm not playing a game anymore.

So, I feel like there is a lot
to be said.

How was your week?

It was...

It was an interesting week.

I feel like it was a big one.
It was a big one. Yeah.

JOHN: She has a very different vibe
tonight, Alissa, doesn't she?

Yes, she's quiet.
She seems inside her head.

Yes.

I don't know.

Unless she has an issue with Bec...
Yes, please, who?

..because of the texts
that have gone on in the past.

True.

BEC: So, do you feel, like...

'Cause can I...

I don't want to talk about it
right now.

We'll talk about it
at the dinner table.

BEC: The vibe with Alissa is icy.

It's icy cold.

She's being quite cold

in a sense that she doesn't
even want to speak to me.

Can I tell you guys something?

My husband didn't get to do the task
where he met with someone.

I met with David.

He didn't get to do it.

Gia refused to and he was
quite upset about it.

ALISSA: Bec had a lot to say
about Gia,

and I'm thinking, do I pull out
the screenshots?

She's probably going to say,

"Alissa, that was like four, five
weeks ago. It doesn't matter."

Regardless of if it was four weeks
ago or yesterday,

it does matter.

Take some accountability
for your (BLEEP) bad behaviour.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

We're not friends, girl.

(OMINOUS SOUNDTRACK)

Just a heads up, I'm not super happy
with how things ended last week

and the only reason
I haven't spoken about it

is 'cause I didn't feel like I was
getting through to you

just by myself,

and I feel like I need
some people around

to give us both an outside
perspective on the situation.

Is this in relation to the comment
that I said to Mel?

That's what brought up

but it's the whole defensiveness
from that.

I just don't feel like
you're hearing me

and I don't feel like you're genuine
with your apology.

I don't feel like you really
understand what you've done wrong.

I'm trying to explain it
but it's not...

CHRIS: I'm fuming.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

I'm angry.

Because my husband and my partner
has just dropped a bombshell on me

five minutes before entering
a social gathering.

..make it seem like I don't leave
a space that's safe for you

to come up with feedback for me.

And that's basically, like,
the definition of gaslighting

is turning the situation
around on to me.

CHRIS: I feel uncomfortable,
I feel betrayed.

I'm anxious and nauseous

because I (BLEEP) hate standing up
for myself like this.

CHRIS: I just got called
a gaslighter

and got told that my apologies
weren't genuine.

I've never had someone
do this to me.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

VOICE-OVER: Just you wait.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Ooh!
Oh!

Ooh!

Very distant walk-in.

JOHN: Chris and Sam,
very separate.

Why are they not holding hands?

I've never seen this from them.

DANNY: Hello, my man.

Sam and Chris just looked like
two mates walking in, to be honest,

or not even good mates.

BEC: Hi, honey.
SAM: How are you?

DANNY: It looked disconnected,
disinterested,

it was shocking, to be honest.

This is new. Something's happened.

Oh, babe. Yucky.

Yuck.
What's going on, babe?

Um... Where do I start?

Um...

I'm sure - he wants to do it
in this forum,

so you'll hear all about it.

I just got told five minutes before
entering the dinner party by Sam

that he will be bringing up
in front of the whole group

that my four apologies
weren't genuine enough,

on the back end of calling me
a gaslighter.

So, I've just walked
into the dinner party,

hoping to have some drinks
with my friends

and catch up with everyone,

and he has just dropped a bomb on me
in the car

like five minutes before walking
in the door.

Like, amazing.

How you been, mate?

It's been a rough week, man.

You look flat as a pancake.

What's up?

Um...

So, basically, sitting on the couch
at the commitment ceremony,

Mel asked, like, "What's the plan
after the experiment?"

And Chris, like, said, "Well, Sam's
going to move to Sydney

"and he's going to do this,
and move there, move there.

"Like, this is how
it's all going to work."

We had never discussed a plan.

At all.

Yeah, so we hadn't.

That conversation went awfully,

then basically, I was like,

he's like, "What do you want me
to do?"

I was like, "Can you just say
sorry?"

Like the apology just comes
with defensiveness.

Like, he apologised in the same
voice that he was defensive.

Like, it's not genuine,
I don't feel it. Yeah.

And I'm like, all trying to do
is be heard.

And like he's upset
that I've spoken up.

Yeah.

That's not OK.

Yeah, yeah.

Hello!
Hi!

Lucky last!

Oh, and here's Gia and Scott.

SCOTT: We didn't know if we wanted
to come, you know?

DANNY: Nice for Gia
to show up tonight.

Do you know what I mean?

She's got one of them robes

what Harry Potter has, where she
goes invisible from time to time.

How are you?
How are you, mate?

Good, man.
Good to see you.

How are you going?
We say hello?

Yeah, how are you going?

Surprising to see Gia and Scott
actually hugging Bec and Danny.

Particularly, Scott,
who made it very clear

that he didn't want to have

anything to do with Bec.
Yes.

This is gorgeous!
Oh, cute! You look nice.

You look beautiful.
How are you?

Thank you. Oh, look at your man.
You guys look dapper.

Gia, how are you?
Danny, how are you?

Good to see you.
You too.

Hello. How are you?
Hello. Good. How are you?

BEC: My eyes are very, very, very
much open with Gia.

You've shared personal messages
between you, myself,

and a few other ladies, right?

To try and take me down.

You are vicious.

Stay away from me.

Stay away.

Hi, babe!

Lovely, we got separated.

Yeah, it's on. It's on.

Do you want to grab a drink?
Yes.

Yeah.

I was so happy to see Chris.

I knew he'd been stressing.

The way he ran, it was like,
he needs to talk to his girl.

We were in the car on the way over

and we have not spoken all day,
it's been awkward as (BLEEP),

and then in the car, he called me
a gaslighter.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

I never really liked Sam
from the minute I saw him.

Sam doesn't play his cards
how his cards really are.

But he's waited until tonight
to do this.

This is a... Like, this all happened
last week.

Yeah.
Very calculated.

Super calculated and cruel.

But I'm going to back myself.

Yes.
I'm not apologising again,

I've apologised four (BLEEP) times.

What can you do?
Yeah. Yeah.

It's like childish.
Yeah.

You want to play games
like a little boy,

sorry, no, you're not doing that
to Chris.

Obviously, he's going to have,
like, Bec on his side, so...

Well, yeah. I can see that.
Yeah.

Yeah.

So, us versus them.
That's right.

Hmm!

(GLASS DINGS)

Dinner is served.

SCOTT: Alright, bon appetit.

STEVEN: Oh, the table's compressed.

I think tonight, we're going to see
some of the consequences

of that feedback week playing out.

JOHN: And with a small amount
of couples left in the experiment,

the dinner parties become
much more intimate.

Yes.
Yes.

JOHN: You're very much a part
of all of the drama that unfolds.

ALESSANDRA: It's a lot easier
to have one conversation

in the group rather than a variety
of them going on at same time.

It puts a lot of pressure

on what they actually choose...
Yes!

..to talk about.

(TENSE SOUNDTRACK)

Wow! The red wine jus on that steak
is so good.

(TENSE SOUNDTRACK)

Oh, there's a tension in there,
isn't there?

There is tension.

It was very awkward
at the start of the dinner party.

There were crickets,
I could hear them.

I was sitting, cutting my steak

and I could hear,
(CHIRPS LIKE CRICKET)

I'm looking at Bec

and I already know what she's said
about me and my husband

behind my back.

(OMINOUS SOUNDTRACK)

Obviously, Gia has hurt me, too,

but nothing can top the screenshots

of the messages that Bec said
about David and I.

(OMINOUS SOUNDTRACK)

How have you been, Alissa? You OK?

I... I've had enough of this ya-ya,

these individual conversations
and sweeping shit under the rug.

I feel like it all needs to be
brought to light

and I feel like the other couples
need to know as well.

So, if everybody wants to listen in,

so there were obviously
some receipts

from the last commitment ceremony...

(TENSE SOUNDTRACK)

..that Juliette received from Gia.

(TENSE SOUNDTRACK)

..and after that commitment
ceremony, Juliette was like,

"Alissa, I really need you to see
these messages."

Um, and, I guess, reading those
messages brought up a lot of hurt.

Because, you know,
this happened weeks ago.

This happened, like,

four, five weeks ago.
Two months ago.

Five weeks ago.

Two months ago.
Babe, I've got some dates on there.

Two months ago.

But, yeah, anyway, whatever.
But it doesn't matter.

Babe, like, it doesn't matter

because they were the most
vicious...

Yeah, yeah.
..vulgar,

I would never say that to someone...
Yeah.

..in real life, let alone
in a message.

Like, people at this table don't
even know that I was called a rat.

Ooh!

My husband's a rat.

(TENSE SOUNDTRACK)

My head is so far up my (BLEEP) arse
and how much of a (BLEEP) I am.

(TENSE SOUNDTRACK)

Oh!

Um, and we're (BLEEP)-licking
(BLEEP).

(GASPS)
Oh, no!

(TENSE SOUNDTRACK)

They were the most vicious...

Yeah, yeah.
..vulgar,

I would never say that to someone...
Yeah.

..in real life, let alone
in a message.

Like, people at this table don't
even know that I was called a rat.

(TENSE SOUNDTRACK)

My husband's a rat.

(TENSE SOUNDTRACK)

My head is so far up my (BLEEP) arse
and how much of a (BLEEP) I am.

We're (BLEEP)-licking (BLEEP).

(GASPS)
Oh, no!

Why, why would you do that?

Why would you do that?

JOHN: But really vile language.

That's really destructive.

Incredibly disappointing.

Gia played a part in them as well

but what came out of your mouth,
I am telling you, I was in tears.

It was vile and vicious, babe.

I've seen repetitive behaviour,
not just with me

but with other people at this table

where you've come at them
and I'm just like...

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Like, there's been times, babe...
Hang on, hang on a minute,

hang on, hang on. Alissa,

I don't think you can say
that the people

at this dinner table...
I know,

but everybody's been affected
by your behaviour, babe.

Hang on. Wait.
I'm sorry, everyone

at this table at some point...
Babe, I'm trying to speak.

has been affected by your behaviour.
I'm trying to speak.

I get it...
And I know that you're...

..and listen...
..saying sorry

and I know that you've said sorry...
Alissa...

..but I'm saying right now...
Listen. Listen to me

for one second.
(SIGHS)

I feel like Alissa was really trying
to hold her own

but Bec keeps talking
over the top of her.

We saw it at retreat with me.

It's just really frustrating.

BEC: I understand
what you're saying.

I'm just going to have one, like,
just let me have a piece.

I understand what you're
saying, right?

I agree that the messages
that I wrote were unacceptable.

They were disgusting.
And they were disgusting.

Yeah.

The reality of the situation is
that you've seen snippets, right?

Snippets.

Well, then what else is there?
I want to...

But I'm not going to do that.

There is no excuse for what I wrote.

I am sorry to you
for what I wrote about you.

Would I ever say that to your face?
Never.

Did I - do I think that? No.

Definitely not.

If Bec controls the conversation,
Bec controls the narrative.

I could just feel Liss beside me,

being like, "Accept
some accountability

"and stop deflecting
to everyone else."

Is it OK? No.

But I'm not going to send you
the messages

that everyone else has said
about you

to hurt you to get to her

because that makes me just as bad.

(TENSE SOUNDTRACK)

She isn't able to take on any sort o
accountability for her actions.

(TENSE SOUNDTRACK)

This is what Bec does. Yeah.

She is wrong and tries to think
of anyone else who's involved

that she can then blame
for her actions.

We have a war, right,

but Gia sent them to Juliette

and Juliette's gone
and shit on everyone,

and what that's done
is hurt you two,

when you guys don't deserve
to be hurt.

You don't have to trust me,
you don't have to believe me,

but I am apologetic to both of you,
sincerely.

Bec wanted to do
what she always does,

which is sweep things
under the carpet.

But the important thing is
Alissa stood up for herself.

In the real world, if you read
messages like that,

you would never go back,
you would never trust that person,

you'd drop them off.
Never.

But obviously, because of this
experiment,

we are faced with the fact
we have to still be cordial

but you understand how, like,
in the real world,

there's no coming back.
No.

There's no - you can't...
Of course not.

..cross someone and be friends
with them.

Those text messages were vile

and I don't think anyone would ever
accommodate

for people in their lives

that talk about them like that
at any period of time.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

I know that you've said sorry...

..but this shit is (BLEEP).

I just want to stay out of it.

This could have exploded, escalated,
and got very hostile.

It's interesting that Alissa,

she's essentially stayed
at a conversational tone

and this has not escalated at all.
MEL: Yeah.

It's very mature of her.

It's just noise.

I've heard this before.

Bec and I have tried to work on
our relationship.

(TENSE SOUNDTRACK)

And I'm sorry, but I think I've
given her way too many chances.

I'm here for my husband.

You know, I'm so lucky
that I have David.

Ultimately, like, I'm just going
to put it to bed.

I'm pretty disgusted
in the behaviour

and I'm not here for mean girl shit.

NARRATOR: Coming up...

I have to change my whole life
to fit into your life.

Do I get any say in how this
is going to work at all?

NARRATOR: And Bec's behaviour
takes its toll on Danny.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

I just want you to be wary
about what you say.

I'm very wary.

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

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(LAUGHTER)

Look at Stella and Filip.

So much love.

JOHN: So just in sync.

FILIP: Onya, mate!
No, but if I'm being honest...

Damn!

JOHN: So relaxed, a lot of swag.
MEL: Yes!

And so together.

Filip and Stella, we haven't
heard about,

like, your feedback week,
like, what's going on?

We had a - we've just come off
a really good week

and it was awesome.

We had good probing questions

and yeah, we were just going
back and forth,

it was almost like
the honeymoon box,

they were really good
probing questions.

But yeah, it was a good,
it's been a week.

(LAUGHS)

JOHN: Clearly, some couples
have actually

embraced the feedback
and have got closer together

but for others, it's just absolutely
unravelled them.

Can I just say something?

Chris and I are going through
something that's actually internal.

I can't get to a conclusion
with just the two of us

and that's why I kind of wanted
to bring it up tonight,

so if we could get that sort of...

BEC: Yeah, let's do it.
Yeah, let's... Alright.

Um, if you don't mind,
I'm going to kick it off.

Obviously, my energy
is not great tonight.

This is not my usual vibe.
You know that.

I'm going to just give you a bit
of background on what happened.

Sam and I had an issue
mid-last-week,

which I thought we had squashed.

On the drive over here,

Sam mentioned to me

that he wanted to bring this issue
up in front of the whole group

and then on the back end of that...

Why? Why did I want to do that?

Can I just please talk?

And on the back end of that,
insinuated that I was a gaslighter.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

A gaslighter is a very strong word
to throw around,

so obviously, my energy
is (BLEEP) off.

I feel like I've been thrown
under the bus.

So, I'm going to let Sam speak
and I'll hear him

and then you can get my version
of events.

(TENSE SOUNDTRACK)

Um...

Basically, when Mel asked us
on the couch last week,

like, what's the plan after this...

She said, "What does life
look outside the experiment?"

OK, can I talk?
Sure.

(TENSE SOUNDTRACK)

Um, and Chris said,

"Well, the best way it could work
is, like, Sam can move to Sydney."

..is like Chris and I had never ever
discussed a plan

of how it was going to work
outside the experiment.

(OMINOUS SOUNDTRACK)

And then to hear him say to Mel,

like, this is how the plan
was going to work,

I'm like, do I get any say in
how this is going to work at all?

Feedback week, I thought would be
a really good time

for me to bring this up.

So, we were sitting on the couch

and I say, "Chris, when you said
this to Mel,

"I just feel like I didn't have
a voice."

And he cut me off and he goes,
"I didn't say that.

"You could have spoken up,

"you had every opportunity to speak
just as much as I did."

And then I said, "I wish there was
just more empathy

"around the fact that I have
to change my whole life

"to fit into your life."

I was like, "Could you say
you're sorry?"

And he goes, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry
I hurt your feelings. I'm sorry.

"Like, I'm sorry I hurt
your feelings."

I haven't had a genuine apology

and when I try and bring it up,
I'm just met with defensiveness

and I feel like right now,

my feelings have been shut down
about it.

ALESSANDRA: There's no
recognition,

no acknowledgement

of the other's experience.
No.

And unfortunately, like,
this wasn't the first time

I've witnessed you shutting me down

but it's the first time
that I've spoken up about it.

And me speaking up about it has
just caused you to, like, hate me

and just be, like, off me,

and I just don't understand
what I've done wrong.

Hate? Gee, they're in terrible way,
aren't they?

OK, let me talk.

My turn.

Hand on heart, I apologised
three times

and I said, "I'm so - I'm sorry,

"I did not mean to make you feel
that way."

I then apologised two more times.

He thinks it wasn't genuine.

I'm telling you, it was.

Why I'm so off Sam is because
he's chosen to do it in this forum

in front of everybody.

He's thrown this at me 10 minutes
prior to entering the dinner party

on the back end of calling me
a gaslighter.

Sometimes, yes, I am fiery.

Sometimes I do get defensive,

but there's got to be some point
where I've got to back myself.

For him to throw me under the bus...

BEC: Do you think he's throwing
you under the bus though?

I feel like this could have been
done in a different way.

I would have preferred
to do it privately.

We tried that.

DANNY: We speak to the experts

in front of the whole group
every week

to help our relationships.
CHRIS: Sure!

I think where Sam was trying
to speak to you

was in front of the whole group

because he felt like
he wasn't getting nowhere.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

So, I think he thought if he had
the group involved,

he could get some opinions
and it could help your relationship.

Chris, if you give
a genuine apology...

Look, and I get that, Sam.

I am genuinely sorry
that I've hurt your feelings.

I did not want to put pressure
on you.

Why are you laughing?

Sam was trying to speak to you
in front of the whole group

because he felt like he wasn't
getting nowhere,

so I think he thought if he had
the group involved,

he could get some opinions
and it could help your relationship.

Chris, if you give
a genuine apology...

Look, and I get that, Sam.

I am genuinely sorry that I hurt
your feelings.

I did not want to put pressure
on you.

Why you laughing?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Because I asked you to do this
this morning and you couldn't.

No, I'm doing it again!
I'm doing it right now.

This is what you wanted,
you want it in front of the group.

I... And you won't even let me
finish the apology.

Watching Sam and Chris,

they're both valid
in what they're saying,

they're both valid
in their feelings.

They're both hurting.

FILIP: So, I was actually
very surprised to hear

how Chris was talking
about things,

how Sam was talking about things.

To see them behaving
in that manner, it's a shame.

A week ago, I was like,
Sam and Chris are super strong.

But now, I think the boys
are in real trouble.

I am genuinely sorry
that I hurt your feelings

and I put pressure on you.
That was not my intention.

I'm sorry that I was defensive.

I just feel like there's
got to be a point

where I apologised three times,
then again the next morning.

That's the first time you've
apologised for being defensive.

They're in real, real dire straits
here, these two.

But what it has done is it's opened
up their issues in their relationshi

that we can actually target
at the next commitment ceremony.

MEL: It just shows how powerful
emotional tone is

when couples are trying to deal
with conflict and repair.

It's like a dagger to the heart.

I feel like my heart
has been stabbed.

I've done so much
to be in this experiment,

to find love and a husband,

and to have this argument over
the authenticity of my sorrys,

which were five,

and then be laughed at in the face,
it's a (BLEEP) joke.

OK, how about... Hey, how about
a positive note?

How was feedback week
for you guys? Yeah.

Look, feedback week
was really good for Steven and I.

Positive.
Personally, I feel that way.

I hope Steven feels the same way.

(LAUGHS)

But yeah, it's been good.

Um, Alissa, loved the catch-up,
we had lots of fun and everything.

Um, the bit of advice from Alissa
that I really took on board

was to be a little bit
more masculine

and bring some leadership
and... into the relationship,

which I'm definitely going to put
my captain's undies on

and hat, and, you know, lead.

(LAUGHTER)
BEC: Captain's undies!

And what else did I tell you, babe?

(TENSE SOUNDTRACK)

Oh, do I have to mention that?

RACHEL: No.
ALISSA: Well, do you know what?

No. Because I respect Rachel
as my bestie...

Thank you.
..and we're not going down that road

Yeah, on that topic, I'm probably
going to say this right now

in front of everyone

that I feel like me
and Rachel's sex life

has been in the spotlight
for way too bloody long.

Now, yeah, we've had our troubles
and we're getting closer,

like, intimately, right,

however, now, it's gotten
to the point

when I get close to Rachel
or Rachel wants to get close to me,

we've got this thought
in the back of our mind now.

It's starting to get to the point
now, like,

are we doing this, you know,
because we want to

and it's a passionate moment,

or are we doing this
because we're getting told to

and there's pressure on it?

'Cause it feels like there's
so much pressure on,

"Can you two have sex already?
Can you two have sex already?"

So, on that note, we've heard
everyone loud and clear.

When the moment comes,
you'll all know.

We'll set fireworks off
from the balcony, alright?

Alright. (LAUGHS)

Good on you, Stevo.

ALESSANDRA: This is the first time

that I've seen him
taking like a stance

about the relationship...
Yeah.

..kind of taking the lead.

You guys are taking steps forward,
hey?

Yeah. When it comes
to our sex life...

..they can say what they
bloody want.

I'm not here for the drama.

I'm not here for anything else
besides Rachel, so...

And on the last night
of feedback week,

we had nachos and watched
a fishing video on YouTube.

Oh, my god! I love you!

(TENDER SOUNDTRACK)

Can I - Gia, can I ask you...

Obviously, we was meant
to have a meeting

or whatever you want to call it.

What was the reason -

just out of interest,
why did you not show up?

(TENSE SOUNDTRACK)

'Cause we had a really tough week
in our relationship, to be honest,

and I was packing my bags,
trying to leave

after the last ceremony.
She tried to leave,

and it's the whole week,
so it's a snowball,

not just you, it's everything...
It was really hard.

the tasks...
Like, it was just really hard.

She felt like everything's
been coming at her,

so she wanted to leave
and she tried to leave,

and I didn't let it happen, but...
He was like, "No, you can't."

Hmm.

In - my mindset, was to go
into it and really talk positive.

I actually don't have no negative
feedback

between yours and Scott's
relationship.

I think Scott's been really
honourable

how he's like took your daughter
on board and stuff like that.

I think you guys have got
a good relationship.

You back each other.

I've only got blokes in my life,
really...

Yeah.
..of like my mum

and ones back home,

so like, it would have been nice
to get some advice from a woman

in the experiment

from like a third party.
Yeah.

GIA: Danny is a liar.

He's full of shit.

It would have been probably
a screaming match.

We would have been arguing.

Do I need to be doing that
right now? No.

Like, it was just a bad week

and I think I couldn't personally
take any more at that point

'cause I was like, like, I'm damned
if I do, damned if I don't.

If I go and me and Danny argue,
I'm going to look terrible.

Maybe just next time, like,
try and look at it more positively

'cause I wouldn't have come at you
with no disrespect.

No, and honestly, it wasn't
that it was, like,

"Oh, my god. It's Danny.
(BLEEP) that."

It was like,

we had a really tough week
in our relationship, to be honest.

BEC: She didn't turn up
to speak to Danny

because she knows she lied
about Danny,

when you said that my husband
wants to be with you.

I think Gia cares about Gia,

and taking people out.

You're the one sending screenshots
to people

and throwing people
under the bus,

and being vicious and manipulative.

So, we had the commitment ceremony.

Juliette was yelling, I don't know
if you guys...

Yeah, we heard, we heard.

BEC: I'm so over her and her fake
two-facedness.

What was the reason for sending
the messages to Juliette?

Because you don't know Juliette.

You don't trust Juliette,

but you've sent messages to her
about Alissa and David

but was the point to take me down?

Like, is that the point?
Was that the point?

(TENSE SOUNDTRACK)

Well, you tried to take me down,
so I gave it back to you.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Oh, god.

What was the reason for sending
the messages to Juliette?

Because you don't know Juliette,

you don't trust Juliette,

but you've sent messages to her
about Alissa and David,

but was the point to take me down?

Like, is at the point?
Was that the point?

(TENSE SOUNDTRACK)

Well, you tried to take me down,
so I gave it back to you.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Oh, god.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

They're still feeding that dynamic

that we've been trying to call out
for weeks now.

How? How?

But how did I try and take you out?

Stop using me!

Stop using me as a pawn!

I don't know what the (BLEEP)
is going on here.

But I'm not playing a game anymore.

Gia and Bec, they can just hate
each other forever.

Ultimately, my main focus is David.

I want to give my husband
my everything

and I don't want to get caught up
in the ya-ya anymore.

MEL: 'Cause once again,

Alissa is the collateral damage
in other people's fights.

ALESSANDRA: I think
it's so unfortunate

because it really is generating
distress in other couples.

JOHN: Yes.

I don't want to engage anymore.

I'm actually done...

How did I try and...
..with this conversation. Thank you.

How did I try and take you down?
I can't do any more drama.

I can't do any more drama, Bec.

It's going to go around and around
and I'm not doing it.

Thank you so much.

(DARK SOUNDTRACK)

I just needed to know

whether or not the whole point
was to take me down?

That's all I wanted to know.

ALISSA: Yes, it was,

because you girls ultimately
throw each other under the bus

every (BLEEP) time and you use...

Do you know what? Do you know
what's even worse?

What's worse is you're collateral
damage for a war.

Which is (BLEEP).
That needs to stop.

That needs to stop.
I... Well, who... But...

Direct it that way.

More drama.

I don't know how to feel about it.

My feelings are strong for Bec,
I care about Bec a lot.

But sometimes I feel that
more focused with drama

than it is on our relationship.

BEC: I just wanted to know

if the whole point was to throw me
under the bus

and you guys are collateral.
I just had to ask the question.

That was it. That's all I needed
to know.

(SOMBRE SOUNDTRACK)

I feel like Bec and Gia
are out for, like, top dog spot

and I'm sorry, there is
no top dog here.

Let's remember why we're here.

To meet a match, to have
the opportunity to find love,

so if you're more busy

about, like, sending shitty messages
about people,

sending out screenshots

and, like, "Oh, you said this
and you said..."

Then why are you here?

(OMINOUS SOUNDTRACK)

Yeah.

What's gotten... Is this all - yeah.

Yeah, obviously, a bit ashamed
of Bec, to be honest.

I'm not going to lie, I'm not going
to candy-coat it.

Frustrated because I know that's
not how Bec is as a person.

How would you feel in the same
situation if every week,

every single week, you were coming
to a dinner party

and there was something else.

I don't care how long ago it was
or what the circumstances is,

I don't really care,

but with due respect,
how would you feel

in the same situation?
Sure.

Please answer the question.

Yeah, of course. It would be
frustrating.

OK, and that's all - I'm fine.
We're in an experiment, babe...

100%.
..with vicious,

vicious vipers around.

I didn't come here for drama,
I came here for love.

I want us to talk about
how can I become a better partner

and a better husband.

I feel like sometimes all I do
is talk about drama.

I'm just saying, from my point
of view,

I need help as a man
with our relationship.

I struggle with a lot
of these things.

You know that. That's why I came
on this experiment

because I've failed
in the real world.

I'd rather be at these dinner
parties talking positive things

and not drama. That's all -
where I'm coming from.

JOHN: Oh, no.

This is a troubling sign, isn't it,

that Danny has started
to second-guess

his commitment to Bec,

and these text messages,

while he knew they were out there,
they've come up again,

and he's really now retreating.
Yeah.

I don't know why you're getting
upset.

I'm just saying my piece.

I'm still ride-or-die and you're...
I am ride-or-die. I am.

You're throwing me under the bus.
No, I'm not throwing you

under the bus. I'm not throwing you
under the bus.

I'm ride-or-die. You saw that
at the retreat.

You saw that at the retreat.

Bec and Danny's relationship

has been so much stronger
the past few weeks,

so to see this now, at this point
in the process,

is very discouraging.

'Cause I want us to have
a really good relationship.

We have a really good...
We do.

Daniel, do not sit here,
do not sit here...

Babe, I didn't say we didn't.
Just relax.

I'm relaxed. Don't be sassy with me.
Do not sit here,

just don't sit here and say,

"I want us to have
a good relationship,

"but we don't because of drama
at dinner parties."

Did I say we don't?

No, I just want you to be wary
about what you say.

Did I say we don't?
Did I say we don't?

No.
No.

I said, "I want us to have
a good relationship."

I just want you to be wary
about what you say.

I'm very wary.

I want to be wary
about what you text people.

Sure, two months ago, Daniel.
Two months ago.

Has no one ever (BLEEP) up before?

We've been talking about this
for nearly two months.

I can't.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Oh...

We're about to reveal the most
unseen footage ever

(OMINOUS SOUNDTRACK)

Don't sit here and say, "I want us
to have a good relationship,

"but we don't because of drama
at dinner parties."

Did I say we don't?

I want is to have
a good relationship.

I want you to be wary
about what you say.

I'm very wary.

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

Sure, two months ago, Daniel.
Two months ago.

I don't care if it was
10 years ago!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Oh...

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

BEC: I'm done.

Can I come join down here?

Let's go to the couch for a sec.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

How are you feeling?

I feel like I'm wasting my time
at a dinner party

talking about abusive text messages
that are sent.

Yeah.

I came here to work on
my relationship

and to try and be a good husband
and stuff,

and it's like I can't voice
my opinion

because then she says I'm throwing
her under the bus.

Every single week, I come
to these dinner parties,

every single week,

and it's, "This has happened,
this has happened,

"Gia said this to you."

It's like, I don't care no more.

I'm here for a wife
and a relationship.

I'm not here for drama.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

NARRATOR: Sunday night...

It's the second last commitment
ceremony.

FILIP: Gotta ask the question of,

like, alright, if we go outside
the experiment,

how quick would you expect,
like, a proposal?

I say, the sooner the better.

Wow!

NARRATOR: And some are already
locking in plans for married life

outside of the experiment.

My man is leading

and he is actually starting
to show me

what my life here in Sydney
could look like.

NARRATOR: And then...

So, last week, you said
that the noise from the group

and around Gia doesn't affect
your relationship.

Do you still believe that?

NARRATOR: Will Scott speak up

and confess how he feels
in front of Gia?

I will admit, like...

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

The question... What was it?
Like, it was a bit...

Could you see yourself falling
in love with me?

NARRATOR: Why is Danny
dodging the question...

Um...

Well...

..in one of the most confronting
couch sessions ever seen?

It's a pretty black-and-white
question.

NARRATOR: Before the blindside...

(SHAKY BREATHING)

(SNIFFLES)

..that will leave the room
speechless.

SAM: I just can't believe it.

And now, the fallout...

After The Dinner Party.
Only on Stan.
