Cheers to the experiment. Cheers to the experts.

Yeah, cheers. Cheers.

NARRATOR: This year's most incredible love story

unlocked its next exciting chapter.

Oh, this is house keys! Yeah.

That means the world.

That's exactly what I needed to see at this point in the experiment.

We are is, we're going distance.

There's no doubt in my mind.

When our couples watched back the final test...

Is the grass greener?

..some were feeling betrayed.

I'm disappointed.

Yeah, I'm disappointed too.

An emotionally charged Alissa and David made a drastic call.

I'm done. I deserve more than that.

I'm done too. Here you go.

James, give it to me and I'll give it to her,

when she needs it later on.

Why would you take the number?

Oh, Daniel. Daniel.

Danny accused Bec of enabling cheating.

This is the problem.

You can't speak to Bec. You can't.

And then...

..bride gone missing.

She's left. When Gia quit the experiment...

I'm done in a week.

..Scott was left heartbroken, as he watched back

her interaction at the final test.

She just broke my heart completely.

It's been a few hours since Scott watched the footage

of Gia at the final test, and he's still processing his emotions.

I don't even know how I feel right now.

I'm a bit lost, numb, upset, all kinds of things.

I think one of the main reasons as to why Gia wanted to leave

this experiment was because she's guilty

for what she's done at the final test.

And just watching her flirt with this person, I just,

I feel like I've been left blindsided.

Gia texted me saying that she's flown to Melbourne

and that she's heartbroken,

and then left a voice note saying, "I'm curled up with my daughter,"

saying how much she's upset and her daughter's crying.

And then she sent me a bunch of photos of memories.

I think she's trying to make me feel bad, but I didn't reply,

so we haven't spoken still.

It's upsetting and disappointing because I've given

this experiment more than 100%.

I've given so much of my time, effort, love, support,

everything I've put on the line for this person.

But she's treated me so wrong.

It's the morning of the final dinner party

of the 2026 Married at First Sight Experiment.

Are you excited?

Yeah, I am excited.

It feels like we've been in here a while,

but it feels like it's been two seconds, so.

For Stella and Filip, the final week of the experiment has been one

to celebrate, as it saw them unlock a new chapter in their relationship.

What's this?

Oh, is this house keys? Yeah.

That's huge. Mm.

Thanks.

So, Stella and I, we're thinking outside the experiment now,

we're going to move in together straight after the experiment.

It's all kind of happening.

Last dinner party.

Do you remember the first dinner party?

Yeah. It was so...exciting.

What's going on?

Hi, Filip and Stella! They look relaxed, don't they?

Very playful.

For the first dinner party. Cheers, first dinner party.

Then, um, one of many.

This is very, very unique experience.

Are you glad that you took the leap of faith?

Yeah, I'm kind of glad that I took the leap of faith.

And you were there.

There is no doubt in my mind.

We're in love. We're enjoying each other's company.

We see the future together.

What's there to, you know, to say anymore?

NARRATOR: The final week of the experiment has also left

another couple stronger than ever.

Looking real good. Yellow suits you.

Thank you, baby.

I'm so secure in my relationship with Steven.

I think our relationship is ready for the outside world.

Think to our first dinner party.

We were so scared!

Oh, here we go!

Hey!

(CHEERS)

Everyone's like (CHEERS). "Who are you!"

And it's just like, "Oh, hello."

Tonight's sort of like a little bit of a celebration for us.

Look how far we've come in all the dinner parties we've had.

And I couldn't imagine doing this with anyone else besides you.

Do I dare say that me and Rachel are probably

one of the stronger couples?

Lucky to have Rachel.

Obviously, the hallways of MAFS always deliver on the rumour mill.

I'm really concerned about my girl, Alissa.

I know her and David are just in such a bad place.

At last week's commitment ceremony,

Alissa was caught off guard by David's revelations.

I have, you know, carried a lot of the emotional

weight in the relationship.

There has been times where I personally put my

emotions aside just to make sure that there was peace.

It feels like it is your way or you're not happy.

I'm feeling very frustrated at this part of the experiment.

This is our last couch session and I'm feeling like there has

been some hold back.

But when the couple watched the videos from the final test,

it was David who was left shocked by Alissa's behaviour.

The question is, though, who's going to get in trouble by the husbands?

He's going to be mortified...

What about him on a date with another girl?

How does that make you feel?

Ah, go for it.

'Cause I'm feeling...

I'm feeling uncertain right now.

You just met this guy who's spitting banter at you.

The last thing you can do is give me some respect. Last thing.

Do you know what? I'll own everything I said

because I did nothing wrong.

We all just chatted and stuff.

I'm disappointed.

Yeah, I'm disappointed too.

I'm done. I deserve more than that.

I'm done too. Here you go.

Since their argument, the couple haven't spoken and are currently

getting ready in separate apartments.

I can't believe that I'm going into the dinner party solo tonight.

Since Alissa left, I have been emotionally a wreck.

I didn't like what I saw on the video at the final test.

You know, I saw Alissa speak about me in a way that hurt me.

And in my hurt, I took off my wedding ring.

But at the end of the day, I'm not going to let a video

ruin the whole relationship.

I'm recognising that the way I reacted wasn't right.

Throwing off my ring wasn't because I didn't care for Alissa,

it's because I had reached my limit.

Alissa didn't take accountability, and she just focused on

the criticism, rather than seeing where I was coming from.

And it felt like she didn't want to meet me halfway.

I did nothing wrong.

I said a few cheeky comments, which is my dry sense of humour,

and when David took his ring off, just sent me...

It just sent me over the edge.

It really hurt me a lot.

And then knowing that he hasn't always been honest and authentic

throughout this process, it's really disappointing

because I just want to be real, you know?

And I feel like I didn't get that back.

So Final Vows is approaching and I'm not sure about David and I

in our future beyond the experiment.

Can we even come back from this?

While Alissa is unsure how to move forward, for David,

the time apart has given him clarity.

I feel like me and Alissa can work through this.

Every day of this experiment, I have grown deep feelings.

I know that if we can work through our differences,

this could be something great.

So I got our rings back because I want to show her

that I'm still here.

I want to take this to the end.

I want to take our relationship to outside of this experiment.

So tonight, I'm going to walk into this dinner party and I'm going to

fight for this relationship.

I'm going to walk in with our rings and I'm going to

try and get my wife back.

For Bec and Danny,

the final test also led to a falling out, after a disagreement

over Bec's actions.

You're getting his number!

I'm not. He asked me and I said no!

BEC: James, give it to me and I'll give it to her

when she needs it later on. She will.

What did I do? You sort of encouraged cheating almost.

That is an absolute crock of shit.

Bec, you took the number.

I think you're creating an issue right now.

That's got to do with Gia and Scott, not with you and I.

Anything else that we need to talk about?

No, I'm good.

Excellent.

But following the events of yesterday, this morning,

there's been yet another dramatic development.

Cheers.

Cheers. To us.

Danny and I had a little bit of an argument after watching

the videos, but we made up and then we had really, really,

really good sex - about four times.

And then he was like, you know, "I'm falling in love with you.

I want to be with you."

And Daniel would never say something he didn't mean.

So I couldn't be happier.

I'm really proud of us for making it this far.

Yep, we have conflict.

So does every other relationship.

But we love each other.

The cup is full at the moment.

I'm in love.

Are you proud of us?

Very proud to get to here.

It's good. Isn't it?

Yeah.

Pretty... Yeah, averagely good, I'd say.

Like, we've had a bit of a turbulent week.

She's had a few moments, but we've got things back on track.

But I'll be honest, it has put doubts in my mind.

Cheers, baby.

Cheers.

I wonder what's going to happen tonight, darl.

Probably going to be an interesting one, to be fair. For sure.

I think Scott will walk in alone because Gia left.

All I've heard is that Gia and Scott have broken up.

They're not together.

She got on a plane and went back to Melbourne.

I don't know if Gia is going to turn up tonight.

What would you do if I left?

What do you want me to do? Chase you?

Chase you to Adelaide, crying? Yes. Absolutely.

Never going to happen.

I wouldn't even chase you to the door.

Shut up.

I wouldn't.

Scott and Gia, I don't know if they've, like, broken up

or they've just separated.

But she told me she was in Melbourne.

As the couple speculate about Gia's shock exit...

..the final chapter of her disappearing act

is still yet to be told.

And there's one groom that knows the truth.

Well...

Yesterday, I did come up in the lift.

And out of nowhere...

..I saw Gia.

She's obviously been here the whole time.

She walked and she said that she's done and she's...

Yeah, she was done.

She literally packed up everything and left.

And she told us that she'd been back in Melbourne,

you know, with her daughter.

I called Scott, I said, "Scotty, I'm just letting you know,

Gia's here." He's like, "What?"

Gia was meant to go home to Melbourne when she left me.

Turns out she wasn't even there.

She was in Sydney the whole time.

I've just been lied to.

And then using her daughter as emotional manipulation,

in terms of saying that her daughter was upset, crying with her,

when all of it was a lie.

She never even flew back to Melbourne.

I'm just... You don't do that.

It's just inexcusable behaviour.

And this to me has really...

That's just drawn the line in the sand.

I can't trust the person that I was falling in love with.

She's abandoned me. She's lied to me.

And I wanted someone to be faithful and honest with me.

And I feel like what she's done the last few days

has shown me the person she is.

Next...

BEC: Hi.

..Gia makes her explosive return.

It was a showmance.

You guys don't know everything!

As the last dinner party of the experiment goes out with a bang.

All he does is use me for my body. Oh, come on.

Can you cut the shit? Am I enough? I'm a single mother.

Don't play that card.

You can't play that card.

Gia, I know more than you think.

This is it. The last one.

Yew! Final dance.

Yeah, baby!

Well, here we are, the very final dinner party

of the entire experiment.

And it is a pivotal one,

because they're coming off a really big week.

We sent them on their final test and that final test this year,

we made non-negotiable.

They all had to attend because in real life, they will be facing

situations where they're talking to people from the opposite sex.

How do they actually show their commitment to their partner?

That's right, because at the end of the day, they are very close

to the final vows. Yeah.

And right now, they need to be getting

as much information as they can to answer the question,

'Can I take this relationship into the real world?'

(CHEERS)

Made it!

We're the first ones!

Filip and Stella.

They're so excited to be the first ones in. I love it.

What a buzz, huh? To be here.

It's so strange to come here again. First one.

Just how we started. I've got to say,

Stella's looking positively bridal tonight. Yeah.

It'll be good to tell people how our week went.

That was yeah, that was probably one of the best dates that I've had.

One of the best? It was like...

One of the best?

Yeah. One of the best? THE best.

The best, the best.

(CHEERS)

Stevo and Rach, here they are.

Oh my god!

(OVERLAPPING GREETINGS)

They've never looked stronger, more connected.

Cheers, baby. Cheers.

They're just glowing as a couple.

STELLA: How was your final date? How's the final date?

It was amazing.

Steven actually took me to Luna Park for the day.

STELLA: What!

What did you do then?

Yeah, it was like a boat out at Palm Beach. Took it out.

And you got a gift.

Yes, I got a gift.

She gave me a key to her place

to kind of move in, like, straight away.

Yeah.

She gave him a key! (ALL EXCLAIM)

Stella!

(OVERLAPPING CONGRATULATIONS)

Whoa!

Big step for these two.

That is huge.

That is huge for them.

I waited for him for 32 years of my life.

I don't want to wait anymore.

You want to wait anymore.

Me and Filip, we came, we found each other,

we fell in love.

And we're walking out together.

STEVEN: It's a very clear sign.

And yeah, I think we did things right.

STELLA: Yeah. We're not wasting time.

DAVID: Feeling a bit nervous.

This wasn't how I imagined going into the final dinner party.

But unfortunately, three months into this experiment,

it's come all down to this.

My intentions tonight are very clear.

I'm there to try and fight for this relationship and go and get my girl.

Go and get my wife.

Yo! What up?

Oh...

David's alone.

So disappointing.

I was not expecting that.

Oh, no. What's happened?

How are you, big dog?

STEVEN: Good, mate. Looking sharp.

DAVID: How are you, darling?

It's certainly very unexpected because they've been a strong couple

during this experiment.

And showing a lot of strength and stability in the midst of

drama around them.

Really working as a team for weeks and weeks on end.

It is quite shocking.

Hey, Rachy, how you going?

It's upsetting to see David walk in alone.

You could see in his face, he's hurting.

How are ya?

Yeah, man. Look, like, I want to give Alissa the respect to,

you know, not speak about the issue or the situation until she's here.

So...yeah.

David looks so flat.

Yes. It breaks my heart a little.

Well, one of the things clear, you know, obviously I've got my ring

intact, and I'm here for one reason.

I'm here to, you know, fight for our relationship.

That's all I'm going to say for now.

(CHEERS)

Bec and Danny. Bec and Danny.

We made it!

We made the last one!

It's almost like they're shocked to have made it to the end.

We made it!

I am so proud of Danny and I. We are strong.

Oh, you're going to get that shit on me, aren't you?

Cheers. Cheers, baby. Ooh.

Every single day, we work, we work to make sure we love each other.

And we're there for each other.

You've got makeup all over you.

Yeah, I know.

You can't get any better than the relationship I'm in. We're great.

You good?

The week we've had has just been so different, Stella.

Well...

Wow.

I'm getting hot just listening.

Oh.

He said it?

Wow.

He's really stepped up then.

Whoa, whoa, whoa...

Things have changed. They've changed.

It's changed.

Oi! We heard the news that you're falling in love.

Oh, Danny!

Stella!

(MUTTERED EXCLAMATIONS)

No, babe, no.

You can't yell that out.

What is the problem, Bec?

Why not? It's a celebratory thing.

It's me telling you that. Not you telling everyone that.

(BLEEP!)

Shush!

Very much. I'm very much confused, yeah.

BEC: Let's change the subject.

STELLA: Yeah, that was quite an interesting reaction from Bec.

Sorry.

Like, speak about it, like it's quite exciting news

at the end of the day, right?

He wasn't hot under the collar before,

he bloody is now.

It annoys me that Stella announced that to the group.

That's my news to tell.

And Daniel's news to tell the boys.

It's not Stella's to blurt out. Shush.

STELLA: OK!

A wee bit hot, hey?

DAVID: Danny! That's big news, mate.

You got to tell us more.

I'll speak when I'm ready, mate.

I'll speak when I'm ready.

I'll speak when I'm ready, mate.

I've never seen him speechless.

Mm-hm.

Danny, tell us how you feel about Bec.

I feel good.

That's not an answer.

That's an answer.

How do you feel? No, no, no, no. Danny, come on.

Shush. Anyway, let's change the subject.

I think Bec has this sensitive thing with Danny, and it's like,

you know, I'm not gonna be the writing on the wall,

but there is writing on the wall, Bec.

And, you know, one day you might open your eyes and read it.

FILIP: Hey, lads. But can you believe that we're here?

Like, this is the end and we're still intact.

All the boys, we're just, we're strong.

I wish I could say I'm fully intact, but there's a piece missing.

There's a piece missing.

She's not here right now.

ALISSA: This is definitely the last place I wanted to be

at the end of the experiment.

Rocking up to the final dinner party on my own.

It's pretty devastating.

At the end of the day, I'm not going to throw away three months of, like,

building a strong relationship.

Like, I'm not just going to walk away like that.

I'm feeling very hurt and confused.

I don't even know what the state of my relationship is right now.

You know, I said I'd fight for this relationship

and that's why I'm here tonight, fighting for it. That's it.

Oh, god.

(CHEERS)

Oh, damn.

Oh, here's Alissa.

Hi. Hello.

First time these two have walked in separately.

There've always been a couple that were so connected, so strong.

This would be so hard for them tonight.

How's David gonna handle this?

Hey. How have you been? Good.

You look stunning. Thank you. Out of this world.

Thank you.

I'm gonna... Hey, Rach, I know you want to speak to Alissa, but...

Do you need a moment? I just...

I just need a minute. Is that all right?

Can I just have one minute?

Yeah, of course. I just want to have a drink and just see my girls

for a minute, and then we'll...

Can we do that? And then we'll have a chat.

Of course, I just... I know, I just, I understand. I just...

I just need, I just need to breathe.

It's OK, yeah, I'll let you.

Oh my gosh. Just give me a second. You're right.

Just feeling overwhelmed.

OK.

That must be really hard for David to be shut down like that.

Just difficult altogether because they've been so

strong from the beginning and having this dinner party,

the last one, be the one where they walk in separately and are

clearly in turmoil, and it's a very different dynamic to observe. Yeah.

Oh, wow, you look all beautiful. So pretty.

We all love each other. Come on.

How are you, honey?

Um, yeah, not too bad.

We had a bit of a fight on the video task.

Um, obviously, David was really upset, which resulted

in him standing up and taking his ring off and saying,

"I'm done." Watching the iPads for me,

it broke my heart.

And I kept trying to point out points in the video where like,

I felt disrespected and she kept defending herself.

I was hurt, bro.

So in the heat of the moment, I did the wrong thing

and I took the ring off.

He came and he made a statement that he's wearing his ring.

I don't have mine.

I threw it at him.

Do you think she's had enough time for you to chat to her now

before things get too hectic in here?

Yeah, I really want to chat to her. Yeah.

Good luck, good luck.

Good luck.

Sorry to interrupt, girls.

I'm so sorry to interrupt.

Alissa, do you mind speaking to me?

Oh, babe, can I just, like, finish talking to the girls?

I understand, I just think, I just think it'd be appropriate for us

to have a quick chat just over there.

Girls, you don't have to move. It's all right.

I'm not going to sit here for this. But Rachel can stay.

Just a quick chat. I know you're uncomfortable.

I know you're uncomfortable, but I think it's a good time.

Is that all right?

Yeah. Um...

Yeah, I wanted to start off by saying what I did,

taking off the ring, was the wrong thing to do,

regardless of the circumstances,

regardless of what we were going through.

And I want to say I'm sorry that I did that.

The moment I took off my ring, it was not because

I wouldn't do anything to make this work.

I'm not done with us.

And I really want to sit here today to hear

what you have to say, and understand you.

Wow.

I mean, he's laying it all out on the table.

He's got one chance here.

Yeah.

Well... I don't know how you go from watching a video

that I don't even think I did anything wrong.

I think you were just vulnerable in that moment.

Was I just being my loud, bubbly, dry sense of humour self? Yes.

Was I having fun? Yes.

But that is who I am.

You obviously don't know me.

And to feel like in that moment, that was all too hard for you,

that you took off your ring and you said you're done,

it sucks.

It really sucks.

Like, I can't pretend that everything's OK when it's not.

Because it's not, babe.

David's owned it.

He's very earnest and sincere.

And she's showing an absolute lack of flexibility.

And essentially saying, "This is who I am.

This is how I will behave. Take me or leave me."

I know how you felt the video, for you, wasn't much.

When I heard the jokes and the things you were saying,

it hurt me, babe, because I care about you so much.

And I'm here because I want to fight for this.

And I also brought something.

I want you to know how much you mean to me.

Oh, god, he's on his knee!

Oh!

What is going on here?

VOICEOVER: It's the moment Australia's been waiting for.

I want you to know how much you mean to me.

Oh, god, he's on his knee!

Oh!

Let's not, let's not make it a scene.

And I know I've hurt you.

And I know it's not an easy fix.

But I don't give a (BLEEP). Because I haven't put enough passion

into showing you how much you mean to me.

And I (BLEEP) care about you, Alissa.

I (BLEEP) care about you, and I (BLEEP) love you.

Emotions were high and I walked away from someone

that was the love of my life.

I literally cannot walk away, knowing that.

This ring is never coming off again.

OK?

She's giving him nothing. Giving him nothing.

Shall we go back? Let's go back.

I cannot believe that was her response to him getting on his knees

and saying that he loves her.

He just poured his heart out to her.

How'd you go?

Yeah, OK.

I told Alissa that I loved her, and I meant it with all my heart,

but Alissa is obviously still upset.

It's so scary. Final vows are around the corner,

and my relationship is uncertain.

The only thing I've got to hold on to is the fact that I've got

the ring back on her finger.

You know, that's progress.

Just keep grinding.

Yeah. We'll see how we go.

Yeah.

No... Um...

He apologised.

He told me he loved me and he put my ring back on.

This is lovely.

Yeah. So, just...

All right.

I'm just trying to process everything because, like, you know,

not even like 48 hours ago, he's taking off his ring

and said he was done.

And now he's telling me he loves me.

And I'm just like, oh my god, I'm so confused. I'm confused.

I just need a minute.

How do you feel?

I'm very confused, very confused.

Of course I do. Are you ready to talk about it or do you just need...

No, I don't want to talk about it. Take a minute.

It feels weird being in this car alone.

It's the last dinner party.

I never thought in a million years, I'd... Do this whole experiment

thinking that I'm going to leave with Gia.

And then this last car ride, she's not in the car with me.

I do feel a few nerves coming through

because I just don't know what to expect.

(CHEERS)

Oh, here's Scott, by himself. He looks defeated, doesn't he?

How many times does Scott sit opposite us at commitment

ceremonies saying, "We're amazing. I'm in love with this woman"?

What has happened here?

Good to see you, bro. Good to see you, man.

How are ya? Good to see you, buddy.

Yeah, I'm all right.

Good to see you.

Obviously, Gia's not here.

Yeah. So come sit and tell us what you want us to tell.

I found out a lot of things lately, and I'm extremely, fully, like...

I'm so upset, like, I'm shaking.

I just... It all come crashing, literally from the date.

Like, Gia wanted to leave the experiment.

I just couldn't work out why.

She said it's the pressure.

And then... (BLEEP) I hate this.

I just... You're OK, babe.

I just...

(BLEEP) safe space.

'Cause she got...she...

She, like, saying to me, um, she says... (STUTTERING)

She...she didn't want to go to the date.

And then she got in an Uber and left me.

And then I went into...

Did she ask you to go with her?

Yeah. Well, she went, she was obviously frustrated.

And then she called me and she gave me an ultimatum.

But this is the thing, like, why can't we finish

the experiment together?

I was about to go to final vows. I wanted to be with her.

Why didn't you...?

Because I'm sick of doing everything for her.

This is the first time I said no.

I'm just asking... The whole experiment, I've been a yes man.

This is the first time I put my step, my foot forward,

and I said, "I'm not leaving."

And then she went to Melbourne, apparently, and texted me,

she went to Melbourne.

This is the thing. I found out she never went to Melbourne.

She emotionally manipulated me. What? She never went to Melbourne.

And said that she was with her daughter,

hugging her, saying all this stuff.

She never went? Which made me so upset and disgusted.

Oh my god, what is this?

So did she not go back to Melbourne?

Found out she was drinking at a bar in Sydney.

She's called everyone to tell them she's in Melbourne.

She's in (BLEEP) Sydney the whole time.

She's played him, manipulated him. Lied...

..to him. I feel for Scott because he's thrown everything into this.

He's treated Gia like a princess.

And this isn't the only thing.

We all saw each other's Grass is Greener...and I left in 15 seconds.

Instead, she said, "My relationship's (BLEEP)."

She said, "MAFS finishes in a week. You'll find me."

She said, "Have you got money?"

"Have you got money? I only date guys that have money."

There is so much stuff I witnessed.

She did.

(EXPERTS EXCLAIM)

We create the final test to see how they deal with boundaries

and Gia sounds like she failed it.

I'm absolutely disgusted,

ashamed, and I feel so upset, because what I did was show

how much I cared about her.

And I've just been used.

And I was falling in love with someone that just (BLEEP) me over.

('AVE MARIA' PLAYS)

I'm coming to the dinner party tonight because I just need answers.

I need to know what the hell happened.

I left the final date because to be honest, I broke down.

And, I mean, I miss my daughter, I miss home.

So I got in the Uber and sort of gave him the ultimatum, like,

it's me or this experiment.

And then he chose not to leave with me.

I tried to call him three times.

I left him a voicemail.

He totally ghosted me.

After three months of this experiment

and me being in love with him.

I just hope all of you guys,

one thing I beg for is just to be honest with each other,

because this is what's torn my relationship apart.

No, she's actually in love with me.

But it's the emotional manipulation that she does.

She genuinely lies to me.

I can't be with someone who lies to me.

There's so much clarity in the way that Scott

is expressing himself tonight.

We haven't seen him be this direct about what's actually

happening between them.

I haven't had a voice. I haven't been able to stand up,

and I've been a shell for a long time.

I feel like I've been emotionally manipulated, and I feel like

I've been lied to this whole experiment.

BEC: Do you think that there's a chance, Scott?

No.

I'm done.

(ALL EXCLAIM) Hi.

Oh. She's arrived.

Hi.

The moment Gia walked in...

My heart just immediately dropped.

I'm shaking.

I didn't want to look at her because I know it, you know,

makes me upset. I feel sick.

Hi, darl.

Hi. How are you?

Big hug from Bec.

I'm baffled.

That's a friendship we don't understand.

They were enemies. It's not a friendship!

It hasn't been a friendship!

I don't know what Gia's intentions are tonight.

I feel like she's going to make excuses

for all of her behaviour and lying.

And I'm not going to fall for it anymore.

Come on.

Bec's gonna tell her everything I just said right now.

G...

Stay true, man. Stay true.

This is your time to speak up.

You have support from pretty much almost everyone.

Yeah.

Dinner is served.

It's OK, it's OK. It's OK.

I think Gia isn't as confident as she probably lets on.

No, I'm not doing it.

I'm leaving. I'm not doing this.

She wants love.

She wants passion, like we all do.

Let's get it, mate.

Let's rumble.

I think that her and Scott do have something real.

So I do have a plan.

And I want her to fight.

Give it everything you've got, babe.

This is your only chance.

Cheers.

We'll wait for everyone to come.

Where is everyone?

Bec and Gia are not here.

They're not at the table.

You know what? Cheers. Cheers.

Cheers.

NARRATOR: Coming up...

"Dear Scott..."

..Gia's love letter to Scott.

"I fell in love with you.

"Honestly. Deeply.

"I came back tonight to not leave.

"And to show you that I'm here to bare my soul.

"Not for the cameras, but for you."

Let's get it, mate.

Let's rumble.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Final dinner party.

This is it.

And I think it's pretty clear for the cocktail party

tonight that there's still a lot that needs to be said.

Where is everyone?

Bec and Gia are not here.

They're not at the table.

Bec and Gia are away.

Cheers.

We'll wait for everyone to come.

Ooh.

And here's Bec and Gia now.

Woo! Sit your ass down.

Here we are, last dinner party, y'all.

Cheers to the last supper. (ALL CHEERS)

Cheers, honey. Come on.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Cheers, Scott.

DANNY: Don't leave me hanging.

Alissa, David, cheers.

Let's tuck in, ladies and gentlemen.

Oh, look, everything's gone silent.

It sure has.

Scott and Gia haven't spoken all night.

Now they've got to sit next to each other.

Honey?

I think this is the most uncomfortable we've ever

seen Gia look.

I don't even have an appetite.

I feel sick.

It's OK.

Do you know what we're doing tonight?

We're going in with calm kindness.

OK?

Right?

So, guys, I'm gonna actually say something.

I think that, um, Gia and Scott currently are in a really,

really awful position right now.

I'm seeing some really, really, really sad, sad moments.

Gia, I would like you to read what you wrote, please.

I would.

I would like you to read what you wrote, please.

OK. Scott, I'd like you to receive it and then say goodbye or not.

But I think it's important.

Can everyone just not talk for just, like, two minutes? If that's OK.

Oh, god.

You've got this.

It's your time.

Come on.

You can do it.

I'll start for you. "Dear Scott."

"Dear Scott...

"This hurts in a way I didn't think it could.

"When I entered this experiment, I was incredibly hard shelled,

"but over time, you softened me,

"and I thank you for bringing that side back out in me.

"I put my life on the line to enter this experiment, and I was

"blown away with how fast at peace

"our connection was and how you made me feel seen, heard, and protected.

"Before I knew it, this single mum was introducing a new partner

"to her beautiful daughter.

"People don't understand how terrifying that is.

"And I was really scared.

"Not only did I put my heart into finding someone and believing

"I'd found that person, but my heart isn't the only one you hurt.

"And you made me feel something I haven't felt in a really long time.

"I fell in love with you.

"Honestly. Deeply.

"Scott, I'm going to be completely raw with you.

"I came back tonight to not leave.

"And to show you that I'm here to bare my soul.

"Not for the cameras, but for you."

(BEC CLAPS)

Scott, you OK?

I really appreciate it.

But...Gia, I know more than you think.

I have caught you out lying to me a lot.

And you know what? I'm just going to smack this out now because I planned

something I didn't tell anyone, but I actually wrote one too.

Holy shit. All right. Here we go.

Ooh.

It's my time to talk.

Oh!

And I really acknowledge everything you said, but it's my time.

"I thought this was the best thing to do for our relationship.

"I came into this experiment with the highest hopes of

"finding someone that I would have something real with.

"I was so excited about the person I would be meeting and what our

"relationship would become.

"Knowing I would be committing myself wholeheartedly.

"Prior to entering the experiment, I said two of the most important

"attributes to me are:

"I wanted someone honest and with the same morals as me.

"I've felt throughout this experience, I've tried to be

"the best man I can for Gia."

I'm (BLEEP) shaking.

That's OK.

Take your time, bro.

This hurts.

I don't like doing this.

"I have cared deeply for her during our time together.

"And naturally, my feelings were forming

"for her and our relationship.

"Sadly, though, this was never enough to appease Gia.

"I even met daily criticisms, belittling comments and threats

"of being left single as, and I quote, 'A line of six men

"would be waiting for a girl like me and desperate to have me.'

"At times, I felt unable to voice the truth surrounding

"what was going on in our relationship,

"out of the loyalty and respect I had towards Gia.

"I've come to realise though, no matter what I do or say

"isn't going to change who she is. At this point,

"enough has been done and said to let me and everyone else know

"exactly who Gia is and what she stands for.

"Morally, we aren't aligned.

"We hold different values of what a relationship should be.

"I can't be with a woman, who behind my back,

"proclaims to the first guy who looks her way,

"'I only date men with money and who will pay for everything.'

"This is what I witnessed when watching the video of Gia

"with Grass is Greener, along with so much more.

"You told me you had flown home to Melbourne, in tears, inconsolable.

"But I came to find out that you were still in Sydney,

"drinking at a bar.

"I'm not sure what it is that you're looking for, Gia,

"but I can tell you're not the one for me.

"We are a different calibre...

"of people."

I'm sorry, but... Oh!

Scott!

Scott!

I'm done.

Come on now.

"You told me he had flown home to Melbourne, in tears, inconsolable.

"But I came to find out that you were still in Sydney,

"drinking at a bar.

"I'm not sure what it is that you're looking for, Gia, but I can tell

"you're not the one for me.

"We are a different calibre...

"of people."

Sorry, but I'm... Oh!

Scott!

Buddy, no!

Come on now.

I'm done.

Oh no.

Oh.

There you go.

It's so disappointing. Did not expect that.

No.

Scott, bro.

The fact that Gia lied to Scott, saying that she was in Melbourne,

you know, with her daughter,

it's absolutely disgusting.

She's proven that A - she cannot be trusted.

She tells lies.

She tries to manipulate people.

I cannot stand by that behaviour.

I think the way Gia has treated Scott is just totally messed up.

You don't lie to people that you love.

I do think Gia gave it a really good go tonight.

I think that she wrote a letter and spoke really vulnerably.

And you know what?

Kudos to any woman that can sit there with a man

that's been ignoring you and say, "I love you.

This is how I feel."

But...who doesn't love you back.

And I can't do anything to fix it. Sorry.

So at the end of the day, it was a showmance.

He played me. And the last two weeks, he's been playing me.

There's been a lot of different things that I've noticed,

which I've kept quiet about.

He never reassures me.

He never tells me I look beautiful before a dinner party.

He never tells me I'm sexy.

All he does is use me for my body.

He has sex with me. But he'll never fall in love with me.

STELLA: Come on, stop. He'll have sex with me.

Stop right there. Can you cut the shit?

I'm not cutting the shit. He's just gone

for the last three days and had his moment.

I haven't had mine.

You had three months...

You've had the whole experiment where you've just, like,

you're literally contradicting everything that you've said.

You haven't seen what I've seen.

You've had three months of showing how much he cared for you.

When? With action, not words.

What was the action? When I met with him one on one,

nothing but kind words about you.

Nothing but kind words about you.

Always looking after you.

Always putting you first.

Is it ever enough? Literally at every single stage...

Am I enough? I'm a single mother.

Is it ever enough for him showing...

Stop! Am I enough? I'm a single mother.

Yes, you are enough. Oh, really?

Don't play that card.

You can't play that card.

Can you shush?

I'll tell you why I'm not good enough.

Every time I drink wine, he shames me for it.

Whenever I swear, when you and I hung out,

he told me I can't be friends with her. He's controlling.

"You cannot be hanging out with Bec."

You guys don't know everything!

Gia's always been able to handle whatever issues

she's made onto someone else, putting it back on them.

Just being caught lying a lot of times, it's just...

It's hard to believe what you're saying. Do you understand?

When you say you're in Melbourne with your daughter and you're not...

She's shown her true colours from day dot.

It's lies. It's BS.

It's just, it's main character syndrome.

It's zero accountability.

It's, it's just Gia.

Were you in Melbourne?

No, I wasn't.

You said you were, babe.

I know. I went to the airport, checked in, put my bags on a flight.

I got my bags off the flight, and I got a hotel because I...

I stupidly thought he would chase me.

I did lie, OK.

I did stay in Sydney.

You know, I didn't want to tell anyone because I didn't

want anyone knowing I was coming to the dinner party.

Um, yeah.

My mum and daughter flew to...

flew to Sydney. I wanted to be here in case of the moment

where he would go, 'Oh, OK.

Maybe, maybe I'll call her.'

I thought he would reach out and go,

'Oh, god, she's really gone, I miss her,' I thought there would be...

I thought he'd chase me. I'm sorry, I'm a girl.

I thought there'd be something in him that made him want to

find me and chase me.

And unfortunately, that wasn't the case.

Scott is under the impression that you were in Melbourne

hugging your daughter and upset.

That's why there's this narrative.

(OVERLAPPING CHATTER) Right. Fair enough.

I think you and Scott need a private moment.

I do. Won't give me that again.

He's ghosted me for the last three days.

Do you love him?

Yep, yep.

Then get up and go and speak to him.

Go fight for it if you really want this, babe.

If you love him, fight for it.

Yes, we've had fights.

Yes, I've self-sabotaged.

I'm willing to admit that I'm wrong.

I stayed in Sydney because I wanted to fight for this relationship.

Because the last three months have meant everything to me.

And I don't feel like it's over.

Yep.

(BLEEP)

(TENSE MUSIC)

I'm sorry.

I'm (BLEEP) exhausted. And I feel like you've just kept lying to me.

I haven't, though. I haven't, though. I haven't, though.

What you said at Grass is Greener...

You have no idea what I've seen.

I didn't even say it out loud.

You don't know what happened 90% of the time. Did they tell you?

You said, "My relationship's (BLEEP)."

Because it was, babe, it was.

This was when we were arguing. Do you not remember?

We weren't good.

You said to old mate,

"MAFS finishes in a week. You know where to find me.

I'll be posted all over MAFS."

Scott...

I feel like, honestly...

I've seen enough.

Scott, let me just say this.

I've never in my life chased a man. Ever.

I don't give a (BLEEP) about the cameras. I came here for you.

I literally came back to this dinner party for you.

You were worth it to me.

I am so in love with you.

I've done everything I can.

That's it. Like, I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

I've seen too much.

What?

I can't do this anymore.

Yeah.

Yep.

Can I have a hug? Because I'm gonna go.

All the best.

OK.

Bye.

No! Help me get it off, then.

I just want my phone, and I want...

Oh, yeah, and I need this mic off now.

Just wanna go home.

Can we, can we shift?

Maybe make more of a group?

Let's make a group, yeah.

Anyway, let's try and have a good night.

(ALL AGREE)

DANNY: This should be a celebration.

It's our last dinner party.

We got to the end.

We've all had highs and lows.

Cheers.

(ALL CHEERS)

Cheers.

I've been reflecting on the experiment quite a bit

these last few days, and it's...

It's sad and happy and exciting at the same time.

I'm not a man that likes change.

However, it's time for us to leave the nest, too.

It's like the mother bird saying,

"It's time to fly now, kiddies. Let's go."

Me and Rachel have fought for this.

And look where we are now.

Um... Coming out of this really strong.

Look, I'm very proud of Rachel.

And I'm proud of us as well.

Rachel and Stevo have been a joy to watch throughout this experiment

because the journey, whilst it's been slower

and it's been very much

at their pace, every single week, we've seen growth

and look at them now.

And we're so close now to the end.

To see them all loved up like this is fantastic.

I'll always remember this experience and I'm super blessed to walk away

stronger than ever with Stella.

We had a spark from the start.

I knew that this was my person.

Yeah, I'm just pumped and excited for the future with you.

Every woman on earth deserves the transparency and honesty

that he gave me throughout this whole experiment.

I came with my heart wide open.

I wore my heart on my sleeve.

But I knew the chances are quite low...

..to meet people that you are actually aligned.

Um, yeah.

I asked for the experts to be the love story.

And, um...

I'm leaving with my wish granted.

You got keys!

I got the keys. You got the keys, mate!

(ALL CHEERS)

Cheers, baby. Come here.

We should all be very (BLEEP) proud of what we've done here.

Tonight, I'm sitting at that table, and I'm not even really

worried or concerned about any of the other couples.

I'm concerned about my relationship.

I'm concerned about me and David right now and how we're going to

even make it to the outside world.

Cheers.

ALISSA: Guys. Guys! (TAPS GLASS) Sorry.

Um, you know what?

All I say is I'm glad that some of you have found love.

But it's not all perfect.

It's not always rainbows and sunshine.

And this is not where I wanted my relationship to be.

The last week has been a whirlwind of emotion.

He blindsided me at the last commitment ceremony and then

after the final test, he takes his ring off and he leaves me.

And now he's telling me he loves me.

And I'm just kind of like, what the (BLEEP)?

It sucks to be sitting here tonight feeling the disconnect between us.

Yes, he put my ring on.

Yes, he said, sorry, but just because he's apologised

doesn't mean you can click your fingers and it's all better.

What sucks for me is, like, I can't make her see, like,

any different than how she feels.

And I'm not trying to change how she feels.

I'm accepting how you feel, but I just want you

to know that it (BLEEP) hurts me.

I feel like taking off the ring was the wrong thing to do,

and I'm not proud of it.

But I'm here tonight because I didn't give up on love.

I didn't give up on her.

I love this woman.

And in the past, I've walked away from things when things got hard.

But knowing that I love her and how I feel towards her is real.

Right now, there is so much uncertainty with my relationship

with Alissa, but I came here tonight to fight because I know

that we have something great.

Me and Alissa have gone through ups and downs.

I have challenged Alissa.

We have worked through stuff.

Do you know what? I feel like I don't know this person.

I understand that you're upset and you're angry,

but you're saying you don't know this person.

This person has showed you who he is,

time and time again.

I'm not perfect. My love isn't perfect.

But I'm here to fight for what we have.

I'm not even pleading.

I'm saying, you know, I'm extending my olive branch tonight.

I'm dropping my ego.

I'm here because I love Alissa.

And all I'm asking you to do is open your heart

and not lock it off like this. That's all.

That's literally why I'm here.

Because I know where my heart's at.

Great man, great woman.

Great man right here.

But also, do you know what?

In my eyes, I've seen a side of this person

in the last week that I don't (BLEEP) know.

To take your ring off, that is a red flag for me.

That, to me, is toxic.

My feelings have changed towards you and you just have to

go my pace right now.

I know where my heart's at.

Great man. Great woman. Great man right here.

But also, do you know what? In my eyes,

I've seen a side of this person

in the last week that I don't (BLEEP) know.

To take your ring off, that is a red flag for me.

That, to me, is toxic.

My feelings have changed towards you and you just have to

go my pace right now.

I know that David is head over heels in love with me,

but right now, I'm hurting a lot and my feelings have changed.

I'm not in love with David.

I never once left your side.

I never once took my ring off.

I never once did anything to sabotage the relationship.

You, on the other hand, have shot yourself in the foot.

We're in the last week of the experiment,

and I'm feeling very hurt.

Really, really hurt.

I'm not going to tell David, "I love you."

I'm not going to tell David, "OK, everything's back to normal.

"Let's go to bed together tonight."

Like, I'm not that girl.

I'm sorry.

It doesn't work like that.

I'm a real bitch.

I'm authentic, I don't (BLEEP) around.

Alissa, I know how you feel.

How do you know how I feel?

Because... You don't know how I feel, babe.

Because of the last commitment ceremony that made you feel like

I blindsided you.

But you lied, babe. How did I lie?

You said everything was great and it wasn't.

It wasn't.

And that sucks because it was a missed opportunity.

That is hurt to me.

I'm a (BLEEP) mature, grown woman.

I've been in long term relationships.

I've done this way too many times before to sit here

and be like, 'I'm OK with that.'

And I feel like he has (BLEEP) danced around shit.

I have not.

I feel like you have. You have brought up something...

Can I tell you? I'm sorry to cut you off, babe.

It feels like nothing I'm saying to Alissa,

nothing I'm doing is good enough.

It feels like ultimately, she doesn't want to hear it.

I don't know what else I need to do for Alissa to know

that my heart is in the right place.

I apologise to you, Alissa.

And obviously I own that. But you took your ring off!

I own that and... You did all the things you shouldn't have done.

And I did that because...

And I never did that to you, babe.

I know you never did that to me. I've shown you

every side of me. I know.

STEVEN: I feel like Alissa is taking this a little bit too far.

Come on, Alissa, you're really going to throw everything away

over one little hiccup?

It's not the end of the world.

He's never been there with me.

He's never been there with me.

It feels like Alissa's making a mountain out of a molehill.

Holy shit.

He's a good man, David is.

He's had her back through the experiment.

He's made a couple of little minor mistakes, but all of a sudden,

they're the biggest mistakes in the world is ridiculous.

Think about it, babe, I know you,

I know that you're very hurt, but open your heart.

Because... How?

Tell me how I can press the button, make my feelings change.

When you enter the marriage, you have to accept

sometimes the fact that you will get hurt and your partner will get hurt.

But you have to find the ways to connect.

Alissa needs to understand David is not doing this

to hurt her in any way, shape or form.

He's actually fighting for the feelings.

But can I say to you, Alissa, that, and I said...

You blindsided me.

I didn't mean to blindside you, but before

the commitment ceremony...

We're not getting anywhere in this conversation.

No, no, no, we need we need to still talk. We are getting somewhere.

I actually can't be bothered.

Shut me down, this is what I'm saying.

I'm not shutting you down, babe.

I'm not.

This is hard to watch, isn't it? Yeah.

He's given it everything, though, isn't he?

He's just laying his heart out.

He knows this is his last chance.

This is it. But she's just ice cold.

She's shut down. We've actually not seen Alissa

respond like this before.

No, it seems like an entirely different person.

I want her to know that I (BLEEP) want this. Let's work on it.

That's why I'm here.

I'm literally here because I love this woman.

Too late, doll.

Too late.

But it's not too late. It's only too late if you want to throw

three months down the drain.

Well, do you know what?

I'm willing to throw three months down the drain.

Rather than waste any more (BLEEP) time.

I'm done.

I feel like this dinner party's (BLEEP). Babe. Honestly.

(BLEEP). It's done.

Oh, god.

Alright, Australia, this is it,

Oh, god.

It's so disappointing.

I don't think we've ever seen a final dinner party

end in such disarray.

We've had two couples walk out and there's such jeopardy

in terms of where these couples are at and whether or not they can

actually get to final vows.

Mm.

You know, I held it together as much as I could tonight,

but I am devastated at where my relationship with Alissa is at.

I've given everything.

Put it all on the line. I apologised.

I told Alissa I loved her tonight.

I made it so clear in front of everyone

how I felt about her.

Can I just say what I see from an outsider's point of view?

I hate to say it, Dave, but I feel like that

you're trying to get forgiveness.

You're trying to fix it up.

Looks like to me, she's checked out. She doesn't want to try it.

You can only do so much, Dave. Right.

You've got your hand out like this.

And you keep putting your hand out.

Eventually, there's got to be a point

where Alissa's got to go, 'All right.

I'm willing to give this another go.'

I've given my 100%, and I'm not going to be embarrassed, bro.

Like, I've poured my heart out before everyone.

My love... Is pure. ..is very pure. And I mean it.

I came here because I loved her.

My opinion is you're a good guy.

For Alissa to throw it, throw it all away like it meant nothing.

And me, her husband, sitting there just barely acknowledged.

Just because, you know, of a simple disagreement

where I took my ring off.

Um, I can't describe the hurt.

The reason I took my ring off, guys, is not because I wanted

to take that ring off.

It's because of three months of me begging to let my voice be heard

and getting shut down, right?

I was just looking for Alissa to recognise that even though

she thought it was fine, for me, it was...

It wasn't fine.

I can't win. Every single time I challenged and pushed,

I challenged and pushed in an argument, it just blew up.

I hate to say this, but you're begging like a dog

who hasn't been fed for a week, and I think she's overreacting.

Tonight, I felt like I was fighting for this relationship by myself.

Like, I really feel alone in this.

You know, I care about Alissa, and she cares about me.

But right now, I'm just...

I'm a bit confused.

I'm going to take my time before final vows to process my decision

because I want to fight for love.

But at the same time, there has to be something to fight for.

FILIP: I came into this experiment looking for love.

I've definitely found what I've come here for.

NARRATOR: After three intense months...

..it all comes down to the final vows.

The four remaining couples must make the life-changing decision.

Here we go.

Will they take their relationship into the outside world?

(DANNY SIGHS)

Or will they say goodbye forever?

I know this might be hard to hear.

Before...

Hi. (CHUCKLES)

..one of the most magical moments the experiment's ever seen.

Stella, I love you more than I ever thought possible.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

VOICEOVER: And now, the fallout.

After the Dinner Party, only on Stan.
