- [Jules] You are the 'Daily Mail'!
You're puppeteering them!
But you're...
- [Bec] You're not coming for my husband!
- [glass dinging] - [maitre d'] Dinner is served.
- Welcome to MAFS: After The Dinner Party.
I'm Jules, here with Laura and Brittany,
and just when we thought
things couldn't get any worse,
cue the final dinner party.
- If you thought that was wild, just wait until you see
what we've got planned.
Receipts that were never meant to be seen.
Another calculated move revealed, bulk unseen footage
that explains it all,
and a guest that is here that we never thought
we would see on this couch.
- Well, get ready, because tonight, the truth
is all coming out.
Scott's here, following his tragic break-up.
His tears are dried,
and, well, he's not holding back.
Plus, we have a very special guest.
James, Gia's ultimate match is going to join us tonight,
and he is armed with receipts
that are absolutely going to blow your socks off.
Stella and Filip are going to join us to spill
all the behind-the-scenes gossip
that you don't want to miss.
- Then drum roll, please.
- [trilling tongue]
- [laughs] - Pinch yourself because
seven attempts later,
Gia is finally in the building!
- Yes. Is it happening? - Yeah, you heard right.
Gia's officially here. Well, actually,
whether or not she makes it, those final steps
to the couch, if she knows what we know, she may not.
- I will believe it when I see it.
I want to make sure everyone locks down the bathrooms, too,
'cause we know she loves to make a beeline.
- She does love a runner. So, yeah, good luck to us, hey?
- Well, that dinner party had everything tonight.
We've seen drama within the group before, but tonight,
couples cracked and one even fell apart for good.
But amongst the chaos, one couple remained unshakeable,
and that's Stella and Filip.
Let's bring them out.
[dramatic music]
- Hey! - Hey!
- Welcome to the couch. - Thank you.
- Thanks for having us. - Welcome back.
- OK, shall we? - You guys
are the shining beacon of light
in this whole thing at the moment.
Congratulations on the key exchange. How does that feel?
- It feels amazing. Like this is everything that I wanted
and it was just going all-in and going, you know what?
This is it, like let's go.
- It really was a double whammy because Stella not only gave you
the key to her house, but the key to her heart.
- Oh! - [laughs]
- We are rooting for you guys and all of Australia
is rooting for you guys.
But this dinner party that's just happened
was pretty intense,
and I think something that we saw from you guys,
which we haven't really seen a lot, is that you had a lot
to say and you really kind of called people into line.
Why do you feel in this instance that you had to speak up?
- We always had something to say, but no one was listening.
[laughter]
- There was too much chaos going on!
I'm like, I want to have a go! Come on!
- Everyone just told to shush for me!
- So, I'm like, you know, whatever.
- One thing we saw tonight, which I absolutely loved,
is when you put your foot in it and you said,
"Danny, congratulations!"
- [laughs]
- Was that the most awkward thing ever?
- You told Bec, you're in love! And then she goes...
What was so... - That was hilarious.
- What was going on?
- You know, when you see and hear things
and they just like... In which world, it matches?
And instead of having rumours going back and forth,
I'm always like, just have a chat about it.
- Well, about that falling in love comment,
we have some unseen footage of what both Bec and Danny
were saying at the dinner party,
that didn't quite make the cut, so we're going to have a look.
- Let's see! Oh, my god! - Cue the popcorn. Let's go!
- That's so nice, babe.
That's so nice.
- Well, there you go.
- [Stella] Oh, he's a trooper.
- [laughs]
- When you look at that back, who do you think
is telling the truth?
Do you think that he actually said it to Bec?
- Yeah, like I think he did, like,
yeah, I think he did, and she took it in a certain way
and she was convinced.
- Have you ever been suspicious of their relationship
and the strength of it?
- Oh, yeah.
Danny tried to fall in love with Bec.
It's just every time there was something.
You know, Bec was being Bec.
- Yeah, for sure. - And it was just like, whoa!
And it just... - They almost had...
- To take two steps forward, three steps back.
- Yeah, that's exactly what I was going to say.
- PS, that Danny's like two days out from the ceremony
and he's saying, "My feelings are increasing."
Like, that's what he said he said, verbatim, like...
- Salesman answer!
- Exactly.
- What's it been like watching it back?
Because it's one thing to live it, and it's another thing
to sit back on your couch at home and watch it
because you make so many discoveries about other couples.
What's it been like watching Scott and Gia's
relationship back?
- Look, I didn't know the kind of the mental ringer
Scotty was getting put around. Like he was just...
The goalposts were always getting moved,
and, you know, he was always trying to just meet Gia
on, you know, on her terms with absolutely everything,
and we didn't know it was that chaotic.
I feel so bad for Scotty
and he just always wanted to believe, like, blindly,
you know? But yeah.
- I do think though, that if he was honest about it,
the relationship would have unravelled a lot faster,
and so, like, not speaking up is what allowed it
to get to this point, so far in the experiment.
- He protected her so much.
- Well, the cracks started to show for Scott and Gia
the last couple of weeks. We've seen that.
But tonight, we saw it absolutely implode.
The relationship is very obviously completely
done and dusted.
I was holding on for dear life the whole time.
I think Australia was like, "Are they going to make it?"
- I thought he was going to go back for a second again.
- I know, everyone was yelling at the screen, "Scott, no!"
- Yes, yes. - Well, Scott's here tonight.
So, let's get him out. - Yes!
[upbeat music]
- Hey! - Hello!
[laughter]
- Oh, the bromance!
- How are ya? - Hello. How are you?
- I'm good. How are you? - Good, good.
- Come, get in the sandwich. - Come on in.
[overlapping greetings]
- Air hug.
- I've got my family here. - Very good.
- I mean, the whole country wants to hug you.
- Yeah, yeah. Team Scott!
- I think everyone was just heartbroken for you
and, like, we've obviously known that there have been
cracks for a while, but seeing how the dinner party
played out, it was...
That was really, really emotional.
How does it feel for you now?
- Um...
- It feels good, obviously to get some clarity, obviously,
but at the same time, watching it, brings up a bit of emotions.
- Absolutely. - You said
that you would come onto the couch,
but you didn't want Gia on here with you.
We're not doing that to you. But she is here
and she is watching the conversations
that we're having and... - That's fine.
- Why didn't you want to sit on the couch
and do it alongside her?
- Just no matter what I do or say,
she's going to try and make an excuse for it,
so nothing will come good out of it.
Like I've moved past this now, I want to move on with my life,
and having that energy next to me will make me feel like crap,
so I don't need that.
- We never in a million years could have predicted
that it would turn out exactly the way that it has turned out.
Was it as bad as it looked or was it worse?
- Yeah, it was pretty bad. Like, every commitment ceremony,
every dinner party, every time I got home,
"I'm out. I'm breaking up with you."
Just repeat. And I don't know what it was, like watching it,
I'm like, what was I doing?
But at the same time, the emotional manipulation
behind it, she's so good at it, made me feel like
she was always in the right.
- Before we dig into it too deep, we've got
some footage of your final week on the show. Let's take a look.
- [laughs] I love a good footage!
- Don't want you to be upset.
- OK. - What I'm going to talk about
is feelings where I...
I feel like I can't speak my voice
when I have a concern
and it's a weakness of mine.
- This is your opportunity to ask yourself,
is the grass greener on the other side?
- Well, I can't do this. I don't want to do this.
I instantly felt sick.
- I just want to go home
to see my child and my mum and get the fuck out of here
and be out of this fake reality. I want to go home!
- [Gia] I would like you to come with me.
- It's not happening
'cause I just want it to finish with you,
- and I didn't... - [Gia] OK.
All the best, Scott.
[call disconnects]
- I just don't think I deserve to get a phone call
giving me an ultimatum to just leave this experiment.
Oh, fuck's sake.
I'm just speechless.
- Yo! - Hey, what's happening, girls?
- I'm just looking for the beautiful Gia.
- You make a good amount of money?
- Enough.
- I can wait another year if I have to.
- For what? I'm literally done in a week.
- That is disgusting!
I just got fucked for three months.
I just got fucked!
She just used me!
[Scott] 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,
saying that her daughter was upset, crying with her,
when all of it was a lie.
She never even flew back to Melbourne.
- Oh!
- My heart just really dropped.
I didn't want to look at her.
I feel sick.
- "Dear Scott, 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."
[dramatic music]
- It's my time to talk.
"I'm not sure what it is that you're looking for, Gia.
"But I can tell you, you're not the one for me.
"We are a different calibre...
"of people."
- I'm sorry, but I'm done. - Oh, Scott!
- I'm done.
- At the end of the day, it was a showmance.
All he does is use me for my body.
- Come on! Stop!
- He'll have sex with me but he'll never fall in love me.
- Can you cut the shit? - My god, can you shush?
You guys don't know everything!
- [groans] - I can see
you're getting upset. How do you feel
watching yourself... - It's OK.
- But in that such a vulnerable situation.
- 'Cause you give up so much of your time for someone.
- You're such a softy. - Like, it's not just TV.
- Yeah, yeah. - I actually gave it a go.
People may say it's fake. It's not.
- It's not. - Like, that's why - it's just
three full months, every day, 24-seven,
trying to make a relationship work,
and then when you see things like that...
- Can I ask, Scott,
because I know that there's been lots of conversations around it
where you said, you know, that you weren't ready to tell Gia
that you were in love with her.
Your reaction was so big, and it was the reaction
of someone who I would say was in love with someone.
Like, do you look back on that in the time,
think, "I actually did love her."
- I think parts of it.
But there's so many more things I need to see in a woman
before I could say I love them.
- How did you feel when you were watching those things
Gia said, like, "I want someone that pays for everything.
"I want someone that does everything.
"I want to be a kept woman."
Were those conversations she was having with you as well?
Did you know that about her?
- No. Like I did say at the start of the experiment,
I want to be a man that's a provider,
but not exactly in that sort of way.
Like, just as if she's a gold digger.
Like I didn't really want that.
- Can I ask how you feel genuinely about Gia's
feelings towards you?
Because it was a very tumultuous ride.
Like sometimes I thought, "Oh, she really feels this."
I don't agree with a lot of things she's doing and saying.
But I believed her connection and feelings for you were real.
And then she would flip and do something
where I thought, "Oh, hang on, did I get sucked into that?"
- Did you feel it was real? - At times, definitely,
I don't think, you know, she was pretending.
I think she genuinely was there, like, had her best interest
at heart for me.
But also, too, there was a bit of an act in terms
of forcing me to tell her I love her.
You know, look at her right now.
She's already in love within a second.
- Like... Yeah, I don't know. - I...
- It's so - sorry. - No, no.
- There's just like such a massive wave
because one day, she's so close to me
when we go out together and you feel
that connection strong.
But then the next minute, she'll turn on me.
- What did you think tonight at the dinner party,
when she was emotive,
and then the moment you stormed off,
she went on the attack very quickly?
- It just gives me more clarity. - Yeah.
- That shows she doesn't love me.
Look at her body language.
Look at Bec. Look at her winking at her.
Look at the game plan they made.
- Like that scene for me was one of the most explosive
scenes that I had seen on Married at First Sight.
The scene in the bathroom where Bec and Gia are conniving
on, "You know what you've got to do. Australia's watching.
"You've got to out-victim him and make sure you cry."
Gia says, "Yes, I'll make sure I cry."
- I felt sick. Like, I just...
I didn't know there's people like that out there.
- It's showing the calculation. - It's free to be kind.
- It's crazy, man. Shit's wild.
- Yeah, manipulation.
- Where I'm confused in the sense of,
what, did she love me or was she trying to...
- The biggest thing was to out-victim him. Like, what?
- I don't excuse any of the behaviour.
I think it's very clear that it was all horrible.
But I do think that there was emotions and feelings
there as well. - Definitely.
- I don't think you can fabricate that.
- No, no, 100%.
- Scott, why did you write the letter?
- Why? - Yeah.
- It was, I needed to say something
'cause I'd been quiet
and I just - I had to have my ending.
Like I need my closure, to let her know it's done.
- Gia said that your relationship was a showmance.
Was it? Was it real?
- It was definitely real.
If she's saying it's a showmance,
she said she loved me.
I spent so many weekends with her.
I took her daughter out for her birthday.
She was on my shoulders.
I was FaceTiming her mum and her daughter.
If I had these special family moments without cameras,
is that showmance, is it? Come on.
- There is so much obviously going on behind closed doors
that we don't get to see between you and Gia.
Here's some behind-the-scenes audio
of you talking to a producer
right after the call with Gia,
and it's where we really saw you open up.
- Oh, man, I didn't even know...
- Scott. - It's hard not to watch.
- Wow. That's a lot.
Is that part of the reason that you didn't leave with Gia?
- Yeah.
- Like, we didn't know that.
We didn't know that that was going on
or that you felt like that. - 'Cause I'm a personal guy.
I keep things to myself.
- Gia was wanting to leave the experiment,
but for a little while there,
you were going to leave with her.
What happened for you?
- So, something in my gut said, "Do not leave.
"There's something you need to see."
- Yeah. - And which is what?
- The video of her, giving her...
- That was it. - Keeping her options open
to someone.
- What was the absolute breaking point?
- Honestly, probably when I watched that video
and then just went downhill from there real fast.
"I only date men with money"
and you know, "You can find me on MAFS after the show.
"I'm done in a week."
If you have the audacity to do that on national television,
I can only imagine what you're doing behind closed doors.
- Have you spoken to Gia since, like,
since you parted ways after the dinner party. Have you spoken?
- I was at home and I get a phone call.
"Hey, I'm at the Gold Coast."
- Yeah, and?
- She moved there.
- She moved there with her... - Yes!
- What?
- By herself? - I didn't even know.
And said, "Can we get a coffee?"
I'm like, "What?"
I rejected her on it.
And then she went off at me and said,
"I moved here for you, yada, yada, yada."
When originally, she said no.
But the moment I rejected her, she went off again.
And then within a week, within two weeks,
she moved back to Melbourne.
- So, do you think she loved you?
- Yeah! - Must have.
- Yeah. She loved him.
- Scott, it did seem like the final test video
was where you hit the point of no return.
However, you weren't the only couple
who faced hurdles during this task.
Let's remind ourselves of what went down.
[dramatic music]
- Oh, no! - What is going on here?
- Oh, my god! Oh, my god! Oh, my god!
- I feel like I'm gonna pass out.
- None of us are here to cheat.
We talk to the girls about our relationships
and just tell them about our wives and get some feedback.
It's a business meeting.
- "James..."
- Can I borrow your lip gloss, please?
- "I don't want to do this at all!"
Is the grass greener?
- You know, it's lovely to meet you,
but I don't feel like I can engage.
I'm gonna just exit. OK.
- I actually don't care.
[laughter]
I'm here for my girl, Stella.
- I'm here. [laughs]
- Sit down, Antony.
- Oh, dear god.
- In the real world, yes, I would date you.
Do you make a good amount of money?
- Enough.
- If I was single, yeah, I'd eat that up.
- Oh!
- It's insane watching how differently the men and women
handle that situation, like polar opposites.
Do you think the women were flirting?
- That's very flirty. - "Drop your pants."
- Everything they were saying, Alissa, Bec, Gia.
Obviously, Rachel carried herself well. Yourself.
You know, a couple of them were, but most of them...
- How was that experience described to you by Gia?
- Like how she came home and said to me,
everything that a guy wanted to hear.
"This guy's all over me. I told him to get off me."
Like all the things that you want to hear, right?
Obviously, what she told me was complete opposite
to what I witnessed, and that's my turning point.
- Well, Scott, it seems that Gia didn't tell you the full story.
There are many twists and turns.
So, James, Gia's alternate match is here
to shed some light
on the details that none of us knew about.
- No way! Are you shitting me? - Oh, here we go!
[dramatic music]
- Hey! [laughs]
- Oh, you can have her, bro!
- What on Earth?
- Oh, slide that way. - Hello.
- Well, this won't be awkward.
- It's not awkward 'cause I, mate, you can have her.
- You lived the experience. You were there in the flesh.
You've now watched it back. - Yeah.
- I'm dying to hear your thoughts.
Do you feel like the girls and Gia were flirting?
- Yeah, I was getting a vibe back from her, so...
- So, what was the vibe you were getting back?
That she's ready to mingle?
- She was flirtatious. Yeah. Straight away.
So, I was I was talking to her,
giving some rizz, like I would.
- So, James, after you've had this interaction
with Gia and you were leaving, were you thinking,
"Wham, bam, thank you ma'am.
"Like, I'm in, I have a solid chance with this girl"?
- I didn't think I was in, but I was going to follow up
and follow through with my side.
So, I sent a message on Instagram,
um, got a message back saying, "Sorry, I'm happily married",
and a photo of Scott with his top off, with his finger up.
- You swapped details and she said, "I'm free in a week."
So, that must have been confusing to you as well
because you've gotten the sort of A-OK
and then she's like, "Back off." - Of course.
But look, it's like sales, right?
You get ten nos before you get a yes.
So, you have to be persistent. - I don't know if that's...
- Did you continue with the persistence at that point?
- I followed up, I asked how his date was
and 'cause I knew that they were doing something similar.
I got a phone call,
about four or five phone calls the next day.
- So, OK, James, you've given the team
copies of your receipts,
which they have cross-checked with the timestamps on footage
and Gia's travel itinerary
to build a picture of what exactly went down
on the final date day. Scott.
At 1:20pm,
Gia left your final date to go back to the apartment
and leave the experiment.
Now, 30 minutes later, at 1:55pm,
Gia rang you with an ultimatum.
"You either leave or it's done."
James, according to your screenshots,
Gia did call you three times that day.
Now you missed her call at 3:06pm.
But she calls you straight after that again at 3:07pm.
This time, you do answer.
Then at 319, she calls you for a third time
and you speak on the phone again.
- Gia doesn't know this bloke. - Yeah.
- Why is she calling him that many times
straight after she leaves me?
She needs someone else. She's already got another boyfriend,
for god's sake. Look how quick this is.
She needs something.
- Was the content of the call, even though it was brief,
was it flirty banter?
- Not really. It was more anger of "I'm leaving." Like...
I think she actually did mention Scott
didn't want to leave with her.
Um, "So, I'm leaving. I'm going here, I'm doing this."
- She's called you multiple times.
There would have been a conversation
about something else. - Really?
- Fuck, yeah. You're not just calling up having a yarn.
- I've obviously set a good first impression.
She wanted to ring me, so I can't help it if she rung me.
- James, you're the one who gave us those text messages.
- Yeah.
- You're the one who gave us the receipts.
Gia was sharing bikini photos with you.
She was, like you said it wasn't flirty.
But I don't send bikini photos
to anyone that I'm not flirty with.
- Oh, the text messages were flirty.
Conversations afterwards were flirty.
It weren't flirty immediately.
- That scene of Gia and Scott on the street,
having the breakdown in their relationship that was so public,
she called you an hour after that. One hour.
- It's crazy.
- And then she came to the dinner party
and tried to get Scott back
and tried to rekindle that relationship.
- Oh look, if it was my missus, I would be very upset.
It's not behaviour I would tolerate or want.
I didn't know that she was still in a relationship
with Scott though, still going through the process,
so if I did, it wouldn't...
Wouldn't have carried on with the conversation, so...
- Scott, when you find out this type of information
about something,
it just shows the level of lies
and it clearly still affects you.
- 'Cause it's ridiculous.
Like, I have never met someone that's so bad like this.
It doesn't stop. I never knew this was gonna happen.
I didn't know he was gonna come here.
Didn't know she called him.
I gave him the finger, popped him off,
and then I didn't know this was happening after.
I'm, like, frustrated
'cause I put so much time and effort into someone
who's calling me showmance.
Take a look at yourself.
She will never take accountability for her actions
because she thinks she's fine.
- Well, James, thank you, mate.
You dropped some pretty explosive receipts there.
Can't wait to see what Gia has to say.
Filip and Stella, excited for your final vows,
and Scotty, good luck, buddy.
It's been pretty hard watching your journey,
but we hope you find someone you can be your best self with.
- OK, well, don't go anywhere.
Gia has not done a runner yet
and she is still in the building
and is about to join us here on this very couch.
- [Gia] Scott's had his time on the couch over and over,
getting his voice out there,
but I've got a lot to say,
so I think it's my turn to speak now.
- It's been seven weeks, six no shows,
and more complex negotiations than a NATO peace agreement.
- [laughs] - Gia is here.
And honestly, out of all the weeks to choose
to come, she chose this one, which is the week
that she has the most to answer to,
and, I mean, I, for one, think it's quite puzzling.
She has been watching Scott's interview as it played out.
I hear that she's pretty fired up and she's ready
to come out here and tell us what she thinks of it all.
- Gia fired up. I mean, that's all we've seen
the whole show, right? That's nothing different.
- Alright, well, look, let's not waste any time,
not another second.
Let's bring Gia out.
♪ Ave Maria... ♪
- Hi! - I'm here!
- Gia! - You're here!
- I'm here.
- You made it. - It's like meeting Santa!
- I know! Santa's real!
- So, Gia, we know you've been watching.
Why have you decided to come on now?
- Um, you know, you guys have spoken about me
every now and then, and I'm like.
I've just got to take ownership and be accountable and show up,
like, at the end of the day,
I can't grow unless I face the music, really.
- OK. So, when you say accountability,
you've just watched that conversation with Scott.
- Yeah. - How do you feel about that?
- Um, it was really difficult
'cause, you know, I was in love with him.
Watching it now, I'm like, oh, he was falling for me.
Like, I was self-sabotaging and running away
and I maybe missed that.
And so I'm like, I want him to know
that it was real for me as well. It was real.
- I do believe that there were feelings there.
Like, I see those moments.
But Scott had a lot to say in the interview, as you saw.
- Yeah. - I guess calling
a bit of BS on the whole relationship.
He said he doesn't believe anything you said.
He was saying that it was a showmance for you
and that you would berate him a lot behind closed doors.
- I don't think it was to the degree
that he's saying what I said.
- But we've even seen you say these things
like last week, saying that he's dumb, illiterate.
- There's also things that he would say that, you know,
made me feel a certain way.
But I haven't spoken on any of that
and I don't really want to shit talk him.
- Um, I, I don't know if I believe that
and I say this because, say, sit here and say,
"Oh, well, he did things,
"but I don't want to tell you what it was."
- Well, can we pull up some mic moments of Scott
where he was talking about the other women
in the experiment and telling me that he hates my hair curly
and he doesn't want my hair up,
and then I look a bit fat? Can we show any of that?
- He said you looked fat? - He said you look fat?
- Yeah, I would love something shown of him
to look bad for once because I feel like...
- But why did you never bring that up in the experiment?
You cannot sit here and say,
"I didn't want to make him look bad",
because you said probably the worst thing that you could say
about a guy, which was that they used you for sex.
- Right. - So, you did go there.
So, if he had said those things,
why didn't you bring them up then?
- So, I didn't want to. I just didn't want to.
I felt like he already was so mad about so many other things.
He wasn't falling in love with me. I'm not...
I'm like, I'm not going to throw more shit on this.
- I guess it's hard because in all the footage,
he speaks really well about you.
It's actually you that's not speaking well about him.
- Yeah.
- Like, it just doesn't make sense.
- OK, well...
- But can you see, can you understand why from the outset,
it just doesn't make sense.
- Yeah, I mean, it doesn't make sense.
I wish you could see more, but you couldn't.
I mean, I don't know, I don't know what else to say.
- I guess, what we're trying to ascertain is,
is when you're saying like, you know,
"Why don't you show those videos?"
We actually don't have them.
They do not exist to us.
So, are you potentially trying to find things
to justify the behaviour that we've seen?
- No. If there's no footage of it, there's no footage of it.
I don't know what else I can say.
- Do you feel as though we're not seeing the real Scott then?
- I... I think you're seeing the real Scott.
I just think there's some moments that...
I wish was shown more,
like, I don't know how else to put it. Like...
- Talk to us about though that moving, like got your daughter,
you moved to the Gold Coast.
You moved within a very close proximity to where Scott was.
What was your intention?
- Well, like, 30 minutes from Scott.
The Gold Coast is small.
Um, throughout the experiment, I told my daughter
we'd move back to the Gold Coast.
Her dad lives on the Gold Coast, and then,
yeah, just - it was just too hard.
I relied on my mum and my family too much
and they're like,
"You need to be in Melbourne, so we can help you."
- That's fair and I get that.
Like, but at that time, did you also try and rekindle
things with Scott? - I definitely did, yeah, 100%.
- But then you just told us,
you said, "I wish you could all see
"how he treated me and what he said to me,
"what he said behind closed doors,
"and the extra footage, pull it up."
- If he was so bad... - I'm not saying
he was so bad though.
I'm not saying he was so bad.
He's not a bad person. I don't think he was horrible.
I still wanted to be with him.
I was still in love with him.
But yeah, I mean, he said a couple things
here and there that were bad.
I don't think he was as bad as me. I'm not saying that.
I'm not saying he's just as bad. Definitely not.
- Let's go back to Melbourne.
When you went back, you went to Melbourne.
Sorry, went to Melbourne, lied, came back.
What was the purpose of you coming back?
- I don't know if I can say that,
um, production wanted me to come back
for the dinner party to confront Scott.
- Did you want to come back?
So, you didn't... - No.
- You didn't want to come back at all?
- How does production make you come back if you don't want to?
- Well, it's not make me. It's the only opportunity
I could see Scott though.
I'd reached out, called, texted,
didn't hear anything from Scott.
Basically, I thought, I don't know what else to do.
I'm still in Sydney. The dinner party is tomorrow night.
I'm like, fuck it, I'll go to the dinner party.
- You just said to us that production made you.
Was that bullshit just then? Did you just lie to us?
- I'm trying to talk a way around it.
- You can be honest.
- I'm genuinely trying to understand this.
So, production took you to the airport.
- Yeah, yeah. - Like they booked you a flight.
They took you to the airport. You got dropped off.
They sent you off to Melbourne.
You got your bags off that flight?
- Yep. - You stayed in Sydney.
You didn't go home and see your daughter
who you said that that was the reason...
- No. - why you wanted to go home.
But now you're saying production made you go
to the final dinner party?
Like production, doesn't sound like they made you
do any of that.
- No. They thought I was going to be in Melbourne.
Obviously, then I turned around and stayed in Sydney and...
- So, then how did they make you go to the final dinner?
- They knew I was in Sydney 'cause I went to the apartment.
- So, regardless, you're going, you're in a car
and you're going to the dinner party.
Why?
- To confront Scott and I wanted another chance.
- Confront him or get another chance?
'Cause they're two different things.
- I either wanted closure or another chance.
I didn't know how it was going to pan out
because, you know, I had Bec telling me,
"Oh, he's at the gym with Danny
"and, you know, there's probably a shot there."
And so I'm thinking, "OK, I'm going to write a letter.
"I'm going to do this."
- So, if you had one, I mean, your wish,
you could have had that pan out any way you want,
was it to get back with him? - Yeah.
- OK. - 100% at that time.
- Talk me through the scene that we saw in the bathroom
where you are talking to Bec, and you obviously think
you're off camera, but you're very much mic'd up
and you have a game plan of out-victim-ing Scott,
you have to out-victim him.
You have to make yourself seem like you're
more hurt than he is.
- Anyone who was there would know I was.
I mean, I was - I wish you would play some footage of that
of how I was, but anyway.
- But someone who's a victim
doesn't have to out-victim someone.
You never have to say that.
You don't have to, "Hey, can you cry?"
"Can you do this?"
- No, but Bec was... - Was there strategy to it?
- Bec was telling me that I should,
And it wasn't in the way of, like, be a victim
to make the group like you.
It was like be a victim so that he would see that.
- But it also said be a victim, so Australia...
I mean, Australia was put in there as well.
- Look, I think in that situation you were both
as bad as each other.
But Bec literally said the best thing you can do is also cry.
And you said, "Oh, babe, don't worry, I'll be crying."
- Well, I was going to cry. I was crying all day.
- But that's not how it came across.
It came across as a conversation that was very manipulative,
like, "OK, shit. They know that I lied about it.
"What am I going to do here?
"I'm going to have to outplay him."
You know, the conversation was even,
"Right now everyone is poor Scott.
"We need to turn that to poor Gia."
So, that doesn't play like somebody
that is like, thinks that they lost the love of their life.
- That's fine. That's your perception. He was.
And I did love him. So...
- It's just interesting though, the moment you realised
that the letter didn't land
and you couldn't win him back, he walked away,
and then you cut sick, saying he was using you for sex
and it was a showmance. - Yeah.
- You can understand why we're confused.
So, tell us about why you would do that.
- I, you know, use it as a defence mechanism
when I'm hurt
and I don't feel like, you know, I'm protecting myself.
I'm like, "OK, well, he doesn't want me now, so just unleash.
"I've got nothing to lose. He doesn't want me, who cares?"
- Do you look back now,
,and knowing how much Scott did actually feel for you
and this thing that you guys got, you got stuck on,
like, you got stuck on the fact,
that he wouldn't say, "I love you."
How do you feel about that now? Do you regret all of this?
- Yeah, yeah. I just think I was self-sabotaging
and I was projecting and I'm trying to...
I was insecure and I'm trying to make him,
you know, say he loves me back.
- Gia, there was a lot with that,
the test, right, the final test
that was, we all saw, the grass was greener.
- Yeah.
- Do you look at that now and think you were flirting?
- I denied that I did to Scott. I'll admit that.
I was trying to soften the blow
and act like it wasn't as bad as it was,
but watching it, I'm like, yeah, it was. It was pretty bad.
- Why? Why were you flirting like that?
- I feel like I'd reached a point in my relationship
where I was spiralling way too hard.
I didn't feel that he felt the same about me
and I was just - like, this person was giving me
so much heavy attention and I was like, alright.
- You said to James, in the grass is greener,
"I'll see you in a week." Like, "I'm out in a week."
- Did you see him in a week? - No.
- Did anything happen? - Absolutely not.
Has anything happened? Anything eventuated?
- He sent me a DM. Um, and it was like,
"I'll see you when you're done with Scott", or whatever.
And I just gave Scott my phone.
I was like, "Oh, my god. Reply to this idiot."
We ended up blocking him.
- So, he tried to like, slide back into your DMs
and reignite something and you just put it to bed?
You were like, "No." - Yeah, because, oh, god.
Like no, looking at it now, I'm like, yuck.
- Gia, I'm gonna stop you there.
Um, we spoke to James earlier...
- Yeah. - and we actually know
that you were having more contact with him.
- When I had left Scott and I was on the Gold Coast.
- Actually, on the final date when you stormed off from Scott.
- Yeah. - We know that you called James
and spoke to him that day.
Why did you just lie to us?
- Well, Scott and I were done. When I was with Scott...
- No. - I wasn't.
- You said you blocked him and you weren't done.
- No, I unblocked him, 100%.
- OK, so you've unblocked him now.
- Well, I don't talk to him now, obviously.
- But it was the day after.
So, you've had a date with him at the final test.
- Yeah. - And then the next day,
you got the final date. - Yeah.
- And so, you've blocked him for a single night.
In other words, you've blocked him in front of Scott.
- Yeah. - And now, the next day,
you're in with Scott.
We're going to the airport.
Scott goes, "No." We're two days out.
"Let's see this through. I want to hold your hands,
"and I want to express my commitment to you."
- Yeah. - And then instead of you
saying, "I'll stay with you, Scott",
you unblock James and you call him three times.
What are you talking about?
What was your reason?
- I called him because we had just had the final date.
Scott didn't leave with me, so this was, like,
two or three days later.
- No, it was one hour later, you called James.
- Was it? OK.
- We had the grass is greener,
then the very next day is the final date.
- Well, I don't remember with filming what day exactly.
- I know you might not remember, but it's...
You've had a one-hour break-up.
Like, you've literally just had an argument on the street.
Why call him?
Not your mum, not your best friend, not Chris.
- I did call Mum first
'cause Mum and my daughter flew to Sydney,
so I called them and said, "Go to the airport."
Yeah, I definitely called him. - Just a random guy
that you didn't know. - I rang him on Instagram,
he didn't have my number, rang him on Instagram
and I said to him, "Oh, this guy said he was going
"to leave with me. He's not leaving with me.
"Like, what do I do?"
I asked him, literally, as a, like, a male friend.
- But why James? You don't know him.
- Because he was giving me good advice.
- It just doesn't check out
that you have had this break-up with someone
that you love, and you actually wanted him to chase you.
Then you call this random stranger you met the day before
that was there to be set up with you, that you flirted with,
and said, "I'll be available in a week",
only to then fakie-180 at the airport,
get your luggage back off, not tell anyone,
and go back to fight for Scott,
throw Scott back under the bus and then storm out
and then rekindle it with James. - I'm exhausted! [laughs]
Make it makes sense, Gia!
- I was like, "Fuck it."
I wanted to feel wanted.
I was so rejected by Scott. You have no idea.
I was begging him. - That's the truth.
No, no. But that's... - Yeah, I was begging him
like it's actually fucked.
I was begging him to just even sleep with me.
I needed something from him
but I wasn't getting anything, like I wasn't, like...
And at that time, this person was giving me attention
and I took the attention.
- I think... - That's the truth.
- I understand and I think, you know,
look, I say this as someone
who in a very past life, used to monkey branch.
If I got rejected here, I would have something else to back up.
Like, I know what that feeling's like. I've done that,
and so, I actually, I can recognise it when I see it,
and I don't think it's because you were
really into James even necessarily,
but it filled a hole. - Not at all.
- Where do you think that insecurity comes from?
- Oh, god, that's horrible.
I don't want to talk about that.
- I'm sorry. - Are you OK?
Yeah. It's just I don't want to excuse any of this.
Like, I'm taking on what you guys are saying,
but, like, you know, there's always more to a story.
Like, there's reasons. I didn't just wake up
and decide to act like this.
- There's always reasons. Yeah. - You know?
- I do think that you guys
got into an extremely toxic cycle,
like, and I don't think you had big feelings for James.
I think it was a, "I'm lonely, I'm hurting.
"So, I'm going to get my attention
"from someone somewhere else."
I do think that that's what you did.
However, I guess the reason why we're holding you
so much to account on this
is because the story changes
as soon as we share a little bit more information.
You said you blocked him.
Then when we say we know more,
then we - the story stretches a little bit further.
- I think you guys just really wanted me here to grill me
and just call me a liar, and it's just, like...
- We didn't.
- I don't know what else to say, guys.
Like, I fucked up. You gotta remember, this was last year.
I'm trying to move on from this.
Like I don't, you know, I don't want to be
that person anymore, I don't.
Otherwise, I'll have another relationship that doesn't work
and another friendship that doesn't work or whatever.
Like, I have to work on things.
Yeah. I'm glad you guys have pushed me to this
because it's made me realise, like,
I can't do this kind of shit. It's just...
And again, I'm raising a daughter,
like I need to be better.
- You were given, in my opinion...
a great groom.
You were given someone who was amazing
all the way through to the end, right?
So, my question is,
why do you think he couldn't say, "I love you"?
- I think it was the outside noise and all the drama
I was involved in,
and that behaviour that I was displaying,
that was the reason why he couldn't fall in love with me.
I think it was just I really needed to focus on Scott
and not all of that shit, and I just - I couldn't.
- It was some of the worst behaviour, Gia,
I have seen on TV in Australia
between you and Bec and I hate it.
I was almost rooting for you from the start, thinking,
"OK, she's just had a moment, she'll move past it."
But we were three months in
and you just never moved past it.
- Yeah. - When you watch this back,
how do you feel?
Because you were like that till the very end.
- I literally can't watch it. It's too confronting.
Like I'm extremely embarrassed.
Um, yeah.
I mean, it's shown me sides of myself
that I need to grow on and improve on. Definitely.
I watch it now and I'm like, I can't, you know,
facilitate normal friendships acting this way
or like having a good relationship this way.
Like, it's some of the things that I've done, I've done,
I realise, that's not OK,
and I'm in therapy, working on all that now.
But yeah, I mean, it's embarrassing.
I don't know what else to say.
Like, I'm humiliated.
I don't think I act like that all the time.
I mean, I'm also a mum.
I also, like, like to think I'm somewhat of a good person.
I'm not just a horrible person every single day of my life.
I wish more of the good was shown.
But you know, it is what it is.
All I can do is grow from the show.
- I do have another little bone to pick.
Um, I really love this show as an audience member
and you effed up with the spoilers.
You revealed that you were seeing someone else...
- I know.
- ...way before you and Scott... - Well, it got leaked.
- It got leaked. - Oh!
- It did not get leaked! - Gia!
- By Ollie, 'Daily Mail'. - By you!
- You are the 'Daily Mail'! You're puppeteering them!
- But didn't you get paid for that?
- No, we didn't get paid. - OK.
- Do you know why we didn't get paid?
Yeah, do you know why? We were going to get paid.
- So, you were going to do it anyway.
- You can't say, "Oh, we got papped."
You just admitted you were setting it up to...
- Well, no, the thing is,
we were so worried every week that it was going to be leaked.
- Cut the shit. The reason you did it
is because you had a guy that you loved on TV
who was having second thoughts about you
because you'd just been creating so much drama
and you felt vulnerable, and so you tried to get ahead of it
by saying, "Hey, I've got someone better",
and you optically wanted to look like you had already moved on.
- No, and this, this really... - What?
- This really pisses me off
how people are going on about it being a PR thing.
- Course it was!
No, I just am in love with my boyfriend,
and I was like, "Fuck it, let's leak it."
I don't want to keep pretending I'm with Scott.
That was literally... - So, you did leak it.
- You just admitted it. - Well...
- I took the photos, knowing they were going to be leaked.
Didn't know they were going to be leaked that early.
- So, apologise to Australia
for absolutely spoiling a show we love! Apologise.
- Where's the - which camera? - Any camera.
- Here. - That one. Number one.
- I'm sorry, Australia, for ruining, for spoiling the show
and the ending of Scott and I. I'm sorry.
- Is there anyone else you want to apologise to
while you're down there? - Um...
- Scott, maybe?
- Yeah. I am sorry to you, Scott.
I genuinely feel bad.
I feel like I did break and hurt this man.
I hope he finds happiness. I... He's got a beautiful heart
and he'll make someone really happy one day.
- Well, beyond Scott, your relationship with Bec
was really what defined your time in the experiment.
You guys just hated each other the entire time.
This week, you're besties. What happened?
- I don't know, I've no answer for that.
I think both of us wanted to relate to each other
in some way when we were going through shit
with our relationships. - All we've seen
is truly how horrible the two of you have been
to each other.
So, surely when the cameras aren't rolling,
even if you have to be in the same room as each other,
even if you do catch up with other people,
surely that hatred is still there,
or that dislike for each other is still there.
Like you don't just switch into it.
"Oh, OK, now the camera's off. We can be friends, babe."
Like, what's going on?
- We were hanging out a little bit off camera,
and so I didn't know half the time if we were friends
or if we weren't friends or what.
So, it was just a messy situation.
It wasn't a friendship. - What about now?
- Definitely not.
- You trust her? Did you trust her?
- No. Nah.
- I mean, you did put your trust in Bec at the dinner party
and it backfired explosively.
But that might not have been the case for Bec.
So, I want you to take a look at this unseen footage
that she gave after the dinner party.
- Everyone was like, "Why are you friends with her?
"Why are you friends with her? What are you doing?"
My husband was like, "What's going on?
"She's not your friend. She's not your friend."
I don't want to sit at a dinner party
and have issues with people. I want to see Gia and Scott
have it out with each other.
The only person that was going to get her here
was the only friend she had, was me.
- Oh!
- My fucking god. - Yeah, she fucked me over
and now, you like a dick. So, see ya!
- Oh, my god, I feel sick. - Whoa.
- Her and her husband. - Who would have thought?
- Absolutely. Why do you think I've kept the...
- Who would have thought. - I'm framing them
and selling them.
- Geez!
- It's all been rainbows and lollipops the whole time,
and then you run away.
No, no, no, you come back and show
what your relationship really was.
'Cause I've worked on my relationship.
You've worked on your relationship,
but you've come for mine.
You've come for yours. You've come for everyone else's.
Let's see what the reality of the situation is.
The only way to get her there was me.
- Mic drop.
- Mic drop.
- Bitch.
That's how we started
and that's how we're going to end, isn't it?
- Oh, god, I feel sick. - Gia, that's so savage.
How do you feel watching that?
- Wow, I feel like an idiot.
I genuinely thought she was my friend
at that point. That's fucked.
- It is. - Like I wish I didn't...
Like outside of the show,
I continued to try and be her friend.
She was at my birthday like, you guys know that.
That's fucked.
- But in that moment, you believed that you were friends?
- Yeah.
At that point in time, I did. Yeah.
- But you still said you didn't trust her as well, was there...
- Yeah, I didn't fully trust her.
But, you know, we had so many conversations off camera
with the whole Scott thing
and like, she acted like she had my back
and was telling me it would be a good thing
to write the letter and that it would work,
and that I'd get through to him.
I really believed her word at that time and...
- But did you really believe Bec though?
You might have believed... - At the time, yeah.
- that you could've gotten through to Scott.
- Yeah. - Surely. Surely.
Of all of the things that she was doing and saying
and the way the drama was unfolding like...
- My god, that is so fucked.
- Like, I don't understand how you could get to the end
of this experiment and think, "You know whose advice
I'm going to trust, Bec's."
Bec's, the person... - You're smarter than that.
- who I'm going to put my trust and confidence in.
Like, it doesn't make sense. - No, I don't know.
I don't know what I was thinking.
Scott and I would have so many conversations
where he'd be like, "I'm trying to protect you.
"She's not your friend. She's not this."
And I'm like, "Oh, stop telling me what to do.
"Stop telling me who to be friends with."
And I'm like, oh, my god. Like, he knew this all along.
Again, because I wasn't focused on my relationship
and Scott, I wasn't able to take that on board.
I was focused on all the other girls and the drama.
- Look, I think that the biggest thing to take home
and take away from this is like, it is a very good thing
that you and Bec are not still in this frenemies friendship
because that behaviour is so deeply toxic,
but you were also very much in self-sabotage mode.
Like, I think, and it's one thing I know you've admitted it.
You can see that in yourself.
And I think that that's something
that you - I didn't think I would say this,
but I do think you should be proud of that.
When you look back on it and you go,
"Oh, I recognise what I was doing now.
"Like, I was self-sabotaging",
and you've done it with every single relationship
you've had in the show.
- Gia, in your audition, you said you loved drama.
- You certainly brought it. [laughs]
- You brought it and got plenty of it.
But secondly, you're still very young.
You've got a whole life ahead of you,
and this has given you some phenomenal life lessons.
It's made you more aware of some of your blind spots.
You've shared them with us today.
And lo and behold, at the end, you said, "I do not trust Bec,
"and all along, I should have trusted Scott."
And that is a pretty amazing bit of discovery.
So, was it as bad as you thought sitting with us?
- Oh, no.
I appreciate you guys and I appreciate the feedback
and it's actually helpful, I think, moving forward now.
I can recognise more and seeing that, I need to work on
who I can trust and stop trying to look for drama
and look for problems.
Like, there wasn't any problems with Scott,
I was looking for them.
- But just to reiterate what Jules just said,
it's never too late to start fresh,
to realise that you've learned things,
to put them into play, be a better person,
be a different person
and be the person that you want your daughter to see as well,
and thank you for coming on and taking that accountability.
- And look, we know that you are in a new relationship
and we, genuinely, we mean it.
We do hope that you get everything out of this
relationship that you have always wanted,
and take the lessons from this whole thing
and are able to implement them in your new relationship.
- Yep, yep. I'm trying to. Thank you so much.
- Well, we're entering the final phase
of the experiment, final vows,
and if this doesn't bring a tear to your eye,
well, nothing's ever going to.
- [Filip] I came into this experiment looking for love.
I definitely found what I've come here for.
- Here we go.
[dramatic music]
- [exhales] I know this might be hard to hear.
- Hi.
[dramatic music]
- I know what my heart wants.
[dramatic music]
- Are you...
- It's been a devastating time for the MAFS family,
after losing Mel Schilling, who fought so bravely
against cancer.
For over a decade, she sat next to her colleague
and, more importantly, her friend, John Aiken,
as they both guided couples
through the joys and the struggles
of finding love.
To honour Mel and her memory, John is here tonight.
John, welcome back. How are you going?
- Oh, well, I won't, I won't lie.
It's been a very, very difficult time.
I mean, she's been incredibly important to the show.
You know, she's - she was the heart of the whole thing.
- What did this family mean to her?
- Well, I mean, she was there with me from series two
and so, she saw it grow into this juggernaut,
and, uh, we didn't really know how to deal with it,
Mel and I,
when it when it started to explode,
other than to lean on one another.
Um, and it became our lives really,
and every time I would come in to see her,
she'd squeal, jump up and come over and give me a tight hug,
and we would dance.
Uh, we would, um, crack jokes, uh, and we'd have a lot of fun.
Um, she loved love, so she was right into the experiment.
Wanted every single couple to get over the line.
I can get impatient,
whereas she was always hopeful and that was Mel.
You know, she was very compassionate.
And so when she, you know, tragically passed,
you know, there was so much love that came towards her,
and, uh, you know, just an outpouring
of just admiration for her.
She left a huge, um, I guess, legacy, you know,
and I, you know, MAFS,
it's not going to be the same without her.
- I feel like you guys are here to impart your knowledge
on all the participants.
What's something that Mel taught you over your time together?
- Oh, I think Mel taught me to, uh, be more compassionate
and patient because, you know, sometimes the participants
get under my skin,
and, uh, I can be very blunt with them.
- Yeah.
- She had a lot of compassion, which I really adored,
and, um,
yeah, I think she left a huge impact on me.
- Sounds like she was lucky to have you, too, John.
- The outpouring of love for Mel since her passing
is a testament to how much she was loved by everyone.
In many ways, she was the heart of this experiment,
and her impact goes far beyond
what we have seen on the screens.
So, let's take a look at all of the love
spread around the country and the world for Mel.
- We have some sad news to bring you tonight
about one of our own.
- A loved member our 'This Morning' family...
- Mel Schilling. - Mel Schilling.
- Mel Schilling. - Mel Schilling,
who you'll know from Married at First Sight.
- Mel Schilling is being remembered tonight.
- The psychologist passing away after a lengthy,
courageous and public battle with cancer.
- She was just a ray of sunshine.
She wanted to raise awareness. She was open. She was honest.
- She always made you feel good. - Yeah.
- You'd speak to her and she was just...
She was a real light.
- Tell us all about the sunshine and lollipops.
- One of the things about Mel
is that she lights up a room.
- Oh! [laughs]
- You know, she was my partner in crime through all of this.
- [laughs]
- I couldn't have done it without her.
- [laughs]
- It won't be the same.
She would be, you know, saying
that you've got to keep moving forward, keep fighting.
Lean on people that are really close to you
and tell them that you love them.
- You get one shot
and my friend, Mel...
took her shot and lived it...
- [laughs]
- ...with all the sparkle and all the light,
- [laughs]
- and it was incandescent. that light,
it has reached so many around the world...
and I feel so blessed that I was able to stand
so close to her light.
- Oh! - [laughs]
- So, much excitement!
- And I will carry her in my heart forever.
- Well, the person I'm thinking of for Jules is Cameron.
- Yeah, there's this sparkle that she had,
and I think that's how she led her life.
- She loved love.
- I think that's why we became such good friends.
She loved her job and she loved helping people.
She was pretty special.
- Absolute couple swagger, the two of them.
- She was a rock for everyone.
- I would be proud to be a fraction of a woman.
- Can you see yourself falling in love with Rhi?
- Yeah. [laughs]
- Thank you for what you've done for us as a couple.
- If it wasn't for her guidance, we wouldn't be here today,
where we are.
- I will never forget the kindness that she afforded
onto me during the experiment.
But I also will never forget just how much
her smile lit up a room.
- We'll forever be so thankful for the guidance and the love
that she gave us both.
Every day, I look at my daughter,
I think of what we've been through.
The advice that Mel gave us
and that will continue on forever.
- She always had these smiling eyes
that you could always look to in any situation.
- We now have a family and that is due in part to Mel.
- Her support and believing in us.
- And the type of person that she was
and, um, it's just something
we'll forever be grateful for.
- Beautiful Mel.
I feel so honoured that I got to meet you.
Always so kind, so radiant on and off screen.
We're gonna miss you so much.
- You just left feeling so happy and energised
because she was just this lovely, warm,
kind, energetic, intelligent pocket rocket of a person.
- I have to say, we have loved having you
as part of this experience.
Your future is so incredibly bright.
- I really want to thank Mel for her advice.
- It's these uncomfortable chats that need to happen.
- Yeah, thank you.
- When you do come up against challenges, tackle it together.
Stay curious, ask those questions and allow each other
to keep getting closer 'cause that's where the magic happens.
- Yeah, that sort of sums her up.
Just beautiful, inside and out. Yeah.
- Yeah. - Well, beautiful tribute, John.
Thanks for coming in, my friend.
- That was difficult. - Yeah, I can imagine.
Well, that is us for tonight.
The most explosive series of MAFS is coming to an end.
Final vows airs tomorrow night.
Everything is on the line, and every couple
has a massive decision to make.
- Then next Sunday and Monday night are the reunion episodes.
Who lasts the distance and who doesn't,
and who still has an axe to grind?
You can catch it all on Nine and 9Now.
- And don't you worry, guys, we aren't done yet.
We'll be back for the next two Mondays
where we've got two new epic specials for you.
First, we will get all of the goss after the reunion
and then the following Monday, with everything
that has happened after the experiment.
See you next week, right here on Stan.
- Bye! - Bye!
