Original subtitles

I'm gonna pour my drink on her.

Can you muzzle your woman?

You're not coming for my husband.

Dinner is served.

Welcome to MAFS: After the Reunion.

Different names, same recipe.

I'm Jules, here with Laura and Brittany.

The experiment might be over, but we ain't done yet.

There is still so much left unsaid.

And tonight, let me tell you, it is all coming out.

We're back with unseen footage, all the tough questions,

and no one is going to get a free pass.

We have a jam-packed show.

We've brought all the big players.

Bec was left high and dry at reunion.

And tonight she wants answers from Danny.

And hell hath no fury like Bec scorned.

Then Steph will front up to the texting drama

that caused so much chaos at the reunion dinner party.

They broke the nation's heart,

but Rachel and Steven will unpack what really happened

after final vows.

And if there is any hope left,

then Alissa and David come face-to-face.

They've still got a score to settle,

and they'll do it right here on this very couch.

And last but certainly not least,

Stella is here with some very special bling on her finger.

And she's also brought her fiancé along as well.

And, I mean, honestly, I'm just exhausted

just thinking about it all.

Yeah, I thought maybe the relationship dust

would have settled, but there's just more twists and turns.

Settled? I feel like it's just starting to kick back up again.

It's insane.

I also kind of feel pretty sad that, like,

I mean, I'm so happy for Stella and Filip,

but I do feel sad that Rachel and Steven didn't work out

and that there's no other couples!

It's not over.

I reckon we could get them over the line tonight.

That's what I'm thinking!

I think we play matchmaker again.

I think there's still love there.

I'm not convinced it's over.

Well, look, Danny was due to arrive 30 minutes ago,

but let me tell you, he is still not here.

We booked his flights.

We're just not sure if he's on it.

The last we heard, he wanted to negotiate

a little bit of moolah, which is a big no from us.

Feels like he's taking

something out of the Gia playbook, right?

Like, I'm gonna come, no, I'm not.

I think it's rich because Danny was the one who sat here

and said that the people who don't show up

are the people who can't take accountability.

And it seems like he now, who's in the hot seat

he can't take the accountability.

He needs to be accountable for his unaccountability.

Yeah, well, the mask has officially slipped

and now you can't face the music, Danny.

We hope you show up, but we must forge ahead.

Well, let's kick it off with Rachel and Steven.

They had the whole nation behind them

as they navigated the experiment.

But despite walking away together at the final vowels,

things quickly turned sour.

- This is it. - I know.

Oh, going to cry.

Long distance is one of our biggest challenges.

I'm going to have some serious thinking to do.

Being away from Rachel, I've realised that,

yeah, I do have deep feelings for her.

My biggest fear is that

I will not meet Rachel's expectations.

Oh, my god. Wow.

You look beautiful.

I've never felt for anyone what I feel for you.

I want this.

I want you.

I choose you.

And I'm diving in.

Like a fairy tale ending, isn't it?

Steven and I have broken up.

I'm single again.

Oh, girl.

- Darling. - Oh, Rachey.

- No! - Oh, no.

I can't believe we've broken up.

I'm hurt. I mean, I am hurt, I'm devastated.

I'm not wearing my ring,

but I do have it on me just in case.

Guys, I...

I have to ask, where are you at?

His work is busy.

All, like, basically throughout the year,

and winter's his free time.

So that's when he can give the relationship more.

But that's not how relationships work.

It's not seasonal.

I think it's a cop out and here's why.

You're saying, I think this is the one for me,

but I'm not prepared to make any sacrifices.

You're telling her all the things

that will give her hope and then doing nothing about it.

Now, do you want to be with Rachel?

- Yes or no? - Just own it. Just own it.

Come on, Stevo, be honest.

Set her free.

Too much.

This is really unfair now.

I'm just going to...

put a bullet in it and just say no.

Rachel. Stevo.

Oh!

Guys, welcome back.

Thanks. Thanks for having us.

It's heartbreaking to see.

And we have all been rallying for you guys.

Honestly, that came as a huge surprise.

How are you feeling now?

It's really sad.

It's not normal, guys, you don't want to break up

with someone, then watch your beautiful love story back.

Watching our final vowels, like, going back to that moment.

And I was like, I was a girl in love and you could see it

all over me, right?

And so that's hard to relive.

And I think that's where the emotion comes from.

Well, it's an emotional roller coaster

watching everything back.

And I always have that, you know, regret of, like,

yeah, I sort of think I could have done things

a little bit better.

Of, like, actually let me, let me resay that a lot better.

Stevo, you saying, I'm just going to put a bullet in it,

which I think was more like putting your foot in it?

It was very hard to watch.

Yeah, bad choice of words.

I tend to do that. However...

Look, it was a very emotional moment, high-pressure moment.

And part of me just didn't want to

really say no either.

To this day, I still think, you know,

was that the right decision?

Could have I done things differently?

To this day, I've still got my regrets and the what-ifs.

But what is it over? I'm so confused by this.

Like, you came onto this show for love. You got love.

Do you not want a partner or do you not want Rachel?

I'm confused.

Part of me thinks that I wasn't good enough for Rachel.

I've sort of set her free.

And to find someone better than me.

I think that's really unfair.

I'm so sorry.

I spent three months with you, lifting you up, celebrating you.

I was going to pick up my life and move for you.

You were the one I wanted to be with.

How many times did you actually see each other when,

after final vows?

Once.

And that's when you broke up?

For less than 48 hours.

But that doesn't really feel like giving it a real go

in the real world.

I wouldn't say it's not a lot of effort.

Like I said, I flew down, I flew down to Melbourne

three weeks after final vows and we spent two days together

and it was on the second day, the energy just felt really off.

And that's when that conversation sort of happened.

But I think it's the build up to what happened

before we saw each other.

I was begging you to come to Melbourne.

I literally had to beg you.

And then you rang me the next day

and were like, I want to come.

But my concerns are if we come and have a fight,

I'm going to be really uncomfortable.

And I was like, well, that's not fair

because I went to your home with your family.

That could have happened there too.

I put myself in that position.

But you'd already rang Danny and planned beers with him.

You told Danny you were coming to Melbourne

before you had even told me.

You had essentially been caught out.

And then it got flipped into your insecurities

and how you're scared.

And I'm there begging you on the phone to just,

babe, please.

The only way we can get through this is to come back together.

And you could only give me less than 48 hours

because of all your other commitments.

It wasn't enough.

So your relationship was confusing

going into the reunion dinner party, even for you two,

as demonstrated in this unseen footage.

- Yeah. - I can't wait.

Part of me doesn't even want to say hello to Rachel.

But that wouldn't be very gentleman-like of me.

And that's not in my nature.

I'm sort of really upset it's gone to this

sort of below the belt sort of moment.

I've got a feeling that Rachel's going to be after me.

I feel like her not contacting me, not messaging me

is a bit out of character for her.

I don't know if Bec has given her a plan.

I just don't know what to think.

I just actually want to see Steven.

I can't help it, I miss him.

You know, like, the feelings haven't gone away.

You know, I have spent days

and you're, like, have we done the right thing?

Have we not tried hard enough?

Like, is there, like, I don't know,

but I just want to see him.

I just want to make sure that he's OK.

I'm not OK.

I think you would know that I'm not OK.

But I don't know how he is.

And I just want to know.

So the plan was that me and Rachel

were going to walk in together, hand in hand.

But you didn't. And, Steven, you were really angry about it.

Why were you mad?

Well, because this all sort of fell apart

the night before.

What happened the night before?

So Steven and I had agreed the night before we were

going to reunion that we spent the night together,

and we had a conversation about where we were at.

Things might have changed.

You know, like maybe we could have been walking in

together, hand in hand.

And it happened again.

Work became the priority and I hit my limit.

I hit it and I was just, like, well, I'll go,

we're going separately.

Had you told production that you'd broken up?

No?

Rach!

So if production asks you, did you just flat out lie to them?

Yeah, we just were like...

Yep.

They don't need to know everything.

Why? I'm so confused.

No, no, no. Of course, we were going through a confusing

time of like, we didn't know if we had made the right decision,

if we saw each other.

It was... It was a mess.

Look, it probably wasn't the right decision,

but the emotions were running so high with me and Rachel.

Like when we decided we're not going to continue this.

We cried for two hours, pretty much.

When you put your ring back on, at that point in time,

were you like, yes, I'm back in?

Or were you like, actually, I'm putting this back on

because we're now back into this agreement

that we've had where we're in good territory with each other?

- Pretty much. So I think... - Pretty much which one?

Pretty much with the we're back

in this agreement.

Back in the agreement, not back in a relationship together.

Confusing, I know.

Very confusing.

And Rachel, your reaction was visceral just then.

Like, is that news to you then?

Because as, as a viewer, it seemed like

putting the ring back on is a statement of

we are back in this relationship together.

Putting the ring back on for me,

I knew that we weren't back together because we weren't.

But I saw it as more of, like, a reach out,

a hope, a hopeful moment.

So to hear that, it's like I put it back in because we're back in

this agreement to do this thing,

I'm just kind of like, that's not fair.

You see that, like, putting the ring on is a pretty big

statement of, even if you're not saying we're back together,

it's like, I have enough feelings for you that

we're going to get out of here and we're going to work on it.

At the time, I thought a little, you know,

there's thoughts in my, little voices in my head going,

just maybe it may work out.

So I put the ring back on, thinking there's probably

some still sort of hope here for this.

What point did you realise for you there was no hope?

I seriously thought after the commitment ceremony

and me saying those ridiculous words, I thought

just me saying that alone was enough to fuck it all up.

- And it was, evidently. - I think it was.

What would you do differently?

I would...

Realistically, my communication skills after final vows,

that was quite shit.

Um, watching it all back, it's the just keep it

a bit more of a priority.

Don't just go back into my life and go, that's my comfort zone.

You've got to make that a priority.

With everything that has happened,

everything that's gone on, if you're honest with yourself,

do you believe that when Steven stood there at final vows

and made a promise to you and a commitment to you

that he actually intended on following through with that?

A part of me feels like

Steven didn't want to hurt me,

so he did what he thought was right.

Because I think deep, deep down,

he didn't actually want to be with me.

He didn't want to hurt me.

- And then you ended... - I never do.

And then you ended up destroying me.

So...

That tears me apart.

How close to the pin is she?

Final vows,

I wasn't 100% convinced. And...

What percent do you think?

Out of five, I was about three and a half, around,

out of five, four, out of five thinking, yeah, this,

let's see this into the real world.

It's a really sad story for both of you.

It is a sad story.

I've grown from it.

And like I said, a lot of positive has come from it,

but I feel like I've fucked up at the end big time.

Can this work?

If we had another shot, possibly. Yeah. If we...

Who would you be?

Be a man. I would step up and put Rachel first.

I'm so sorry.

There is no part of me that will go back to

a relationship with Steven.

Um, because words and actions didn't align

and done this before.

I've had the...

a part of me wants to be with you, but we live long distance.

I want someone who wholeheartedly wants me.

So I can't go back to that.

And so while I'll always, always have love for you in my heart.

You have a very special, very special place in my heart.

I would never go back. I'm sorry.

I hope that you take from this,

you know, you put yourself out there.

You did it again.

And you should be so proud of yourself. Genuinely.

I know we've already said it, like...

And also, the two of you have been a joy to watch.

Your relationship was an absolute joy.

Thank you for coming and for being vulnerable.

And like I said, we have been all so invested

in the both of you,

and we can see that this is something that is still very raw

and very fresh for the two of you,

and it's going to take time to get over this,

but we wish you the best of luck in your next relationships.

Thank you all so much.

Now, look, we did have Danny

who was supposed to be coming today.

However, surprise, surprise, he was a no show at the reunion

and he is a no show for his flight this morning.

And he also stopped answering our calls.

Funny that he had such an issue with Gia

not facing the music,

yet the second that he has copped a little bit of heat,

he's also nowhere to be seen.

However, Bec is here, and I know that she's got

a lot to get off her chest, so let's bring her on out.

- Oh, my god. Stop. - Hi.

Hello, baby.

What the hell? How are you?

Oh, Bec.

How are you?

You all look so hot. You make me feel inferior.

- Take a seat. - Danny didn't come.

Does that surprise you at all?

No. I woke up to a essay of, um, a message

from him this morning.

Um, it's my fault that, um,

the country doesn't like him at the moment.

So you guys have been in contact then recently

for you to still be messaging?

Yeah. So, we had a bit of communication

like here and there.

Yesterday I messaged him and said, are you OK?

I know that there's a lot of press that's come out.

And I did say to him, I was going to be honest

about my experience.

Bec, why do you think he's maintained, I guess,

a friendly relationship with you up until last night's messages?

He was wanting to keep his, you know, us sweet a little bit

because he wanted me to speak highly of him in press.

And the moment he saw a couple of articles

come out yesterday,

he launched.

It was pretty intense.

I still thought he'd show. I don't know why, like...

It's the commitment ceremony all over again

when I was like, Danny, you need to come,

you need to come and like sit with Bec and like,

talk about your experience.

I thought he would come back.

Bec, this whole MAFS journey for you has been a rough ride,

some horrific behaviour, but we are starting to

better understand where a lot of that tension was coming from.

And this moment from tonight's episode

is actually quite telling.

Alright, Danny.

The future without Bec is, would be bright.

- Oh! - What the fuck?

You know what I mean?

After this, gonna be women queuing up for me.

Holy shit.

Won't be able to walk down the street.

They'll be throwing their pantyhose at me.

So either way, it's gonna be alright.

Fucking hell.

No.

Deserve so much better than that, babe.

I know. I love you.

That's a wrap.

Are we going to the pub now?

Oh, it's so difficult to watch that.

So difficult because he had told me five days before final vows,

I'm falling in love with you.

We're 100% leaving together.

We're the strongest couple.

And I'm like, stronger together, rah-rah-rah.

But they were the conversations I was having with him.

It seems like a lot of these conversations were happening

off-camera, like, there was a lot of affirmation

that you were getting,

but we weren't seeing it as an audience.

Yeah. When it was just Danny and I,

the conversations were beautiful.

You know, we're so strong.

You know, I wouldn't be here if I didn't have

these really strong feelings for you.

You know, I'm not good with words.

So when I don't affirm you in front of the cameras,

it's because I'm not good with words.

I look like an idiot now, right?

I look like a fool because in front of the cameras, he wasn't.

But I was believing what he was saying and not his actions.

It must be very confusing watching all of this back.

It blows my mind, Jules.

It blows my mind because he told me that he'd been

telling the cameras he was falling in love with me.

Well, look, speaking of confusing,

at the final dinner party,

there was all the discussion around whether or not

Danny actually said that he was falling in love with you.

You said that he had said it, and he kind of downplayed it.

We do have an extended scene from the reunion dinner party,

which will give us all a little bit more clarity on

that exact matter.

You said you were falling in love with me.

Don't lie. I said...

You were falling in love with me.

I said I had strong feelings for you.

You said you were falling in love with me.

Bec, Bec.

Daniel, do not sit here...

Bec. Yeah, I said that. Yeah, I said that.

I didn't say I'm in love with you.

Daniel. I believed you when you told me you were

falling in love with me.

I believed you when you told me categorically,

Bec, we are leaving together.

I trusted you.

I walked down the path...

- Bec. I never... - You did on that Saturday.

Bec. Can I talk? Fuck me.

Otherwise, I'm just going to walk away.

Because there's no point in this if we can't just

have a conversation.

I said I was falling in love with you.

I was falling in love with you.

Sometimes love isn't enough.

And by that, I mean, right?

There was problems with our relationship.

For the record, everything I said was true.

- You should have told me. - I didn't want you...

You should have you told me...

You should have told me beforehand

that you had reservations.

But instead, on the Tuesday when we were packing, you said,

babe, don't divide everything.

- How many times... - Excuse me.

Don't divide everything.

We're moving into the same house.

What you did was let me walk down a path to you

in a wedding dress, knowing you knew that I was

of the understanding that you were falling in love with me

and we were leaving together to see how it would go.

And instead, you dumped me.

Boom. The puzzle pieces are coming together. And look...

I mean, he definitely told you and admitted there

that he was falling in love with you.

So you're not completely crazy.

- Thank you, thank you. - Completely.

Completely.

There's still a little bit of crazy in there, Bec.

I mean, like we literally just saw it.

He said he's falling in love with you.

And then two days later we see him saying,

thank god she's out of my life.

It's wild.

We showed footage last week of him telling you, Steven,

that he did not say that.

So there's two parallel narratives.

Do you see that?

I can see, yeah, I can see it.

And at the time when, you know, he's your mate,

I believe every word that Danny says to me.

Seriously, he's probably had me fooled as well that I

believed him when he was trying to work on his relationship.

Just to validate you for a second, Bec,

he pulled the wool over all of our eyes

to hear him say that.

He gaslit you in that one conversation, then undid it,

admitted himself that he said it...

And then re-gaslit me again.

Yeah, but you must feel so validated

that Australia has seen that now?

I do and look, like, I do feel validated

that that's come out, because I knew that that conversation

had happened at that dinner party.

- What do you think was his M.O? - Fame.

Like, when you said, you know...

Fame. He knew that I was controversial.

I put my foot in my mouth.

I think that he knew being with me would get him airtime

and he wanted to long it out.

I think at the start he wanted to be into you,

but your behaviour turned him off

and he stopped playing for love.

He started to play for himself and the worse you looked,

the better he would look, right?

You sensed all of that.

And rather than take it out on him

because he's a black belt in bullshit,

you exploded on everyone else.

Meanwhile, he got exhausted and he did not have the energy

to hold the mask up for anyone but the one person

who could take him to the final vowels, which was you.

I've achieved my goal.

All the while, it has cost you.

Mm-hm. It's cost me everything.

Well, look, things really started to fall apart

for the both of you during the final test week.

You had a pretty big argument after Danny watched the video.

Now, Bec, what we're about to show you is

going to be incredibly hard for you to watch.

OK.

Telling me that's the best you could bring me?

You want to be ashamed of yourself, MAFS do.

I can fucking walk in Coles and get

a better bird than that. Fuck me.

I gave up my life to be here.

I've got a fucking cushy little life.

I gave up my life to be here.

And I could roll in Coles right now,

walk up to, oh, there's a bird in there,

she'd be better than Bec.

Can't be no worse. It's impossible.

Fuck me.

Shit.

So shit.

Are the execs watching this?

You're fucking shit at your jobs.

Bring me better women.

You can do that if you're about a 15 out of ten

and she's not.

Fucking annoying.

Yep.

Sorry. I don't want to cry.

- I'm here. - Sorry.

What we just watched was disgusting, and we all,

when we saw that footage, were horrified,

like, actually horrified.

All of it was revolting.

- All of it. - All of it.

Who do you think you are? Who do you think you are?

This is why I say he's come on for fame, guys.

I'm sorry.

Because if that's how you feel about me, why did you sit there

for three months straight?

So he told you he was falling in love with you after this?

- That afternoon. - I'm falling in love with you.

As soon as those cameras left, that's when he told me

he was falling in love with me.

He said to me, I'm falling in love with you.

I've been telling the cameras this for a week now.

I'm saving those words for final vows.

Rach, what was your reaction to that?

I'm disgusted.

If I knew Danny was that way,

I wouldn't be mates with him.

- No way. - I would not be mates with him.

Stevo?

Yeah, it's a bit...

Can't protect him now, Stevo, after that.

No, it's pretty disappointing.

There's nothing gentlemen about that at all.

I never saw any... I didn't see any of that.

Well, none of us did.

- None of us. - That's the real Danny.

Do you watch that video and think

that's just Danny's bravado?

Like, because he does have this, like, larrikin,

makes a joke of everything, says things off the cuff.

Do you think that that is him trying to, like, put on a thing?

That's the other side of Danny that Australia hasn't seen.

Do you think he felt untouchable?

Absolutely. I think he thought Australia would love him because

he's the funny guy and that

that sort of stuff would never be used

and that I was the nutcase and Australia would praise him

for finally leaving me.

Obviously some of your behaviour throughout

this experiment has been horrible,

but there is something to be said

that when someone is feeding you one thing,

but they're not telling the truth in another instance,

it makes you a crazy version of yourself.

It made me wild because when we were by ourselves,

we never argued.

Everything was hunky dory

and then the cameras would come up

and it was like a completely different story.

It's like that dinner party where I wore the red dress.

He was like, babe, I so understand.

Like, you wrote these text messages.

They were so long ago.

I wish everyone would just leave it alone now you've apologised.

And then we sat there and he's like,

I don't give a fuck about how many...

Now I understand that what I wrote, abhorrent,

my behaviour, abhorrent, me, abhorrent.

But every single dinner party, he validated me.

Then I'd sit there and he'd go, rah!

And I'd be like, well, what the fuck is going on?

I'm never going to blame anyone.

Never an edit, never another person for my behaviour.

I make choices.

They're fucking shit choices.

But I made them.

But he made me fucking nuts, guys. He made me nuts.

Looking back now, do you think it was all a lie?

Yep. The whole thing was a lie.

- I feel like an idiot. - No no no no no.

What makes this even worse, Bec,

and I'm really sorry, but after we saw him say

those vile comments,

you recorded this video diary yourself 24 hours later.

- I'm here. - I just feel like a fool.

Yesterday you would have seen

Daniel and I have quite an argument, to be honest with you.

Um, after watching the videos

of us going to the alternative match lunches,

we came home.

We sat down, we talked.

He told me he's falling in love with me.

I love him. Um, and we just... it's been months, you know,

and we're tired.

But yeah, I came home

after seeing my cousin for a little while,

and I'll show you what he did for me.

I'm happy we're good again, with photos of us.

It's really cute.

Um, so we're OK.

We're great.

Like, we just can't wait to go and live

in the real world together.

And you know,

none of this other stuff going on.

You know, it's funny because he's calling me

a liar and a manipulator, but that's manipulation.

It is no wonder you walked into those final vows believing

that the two of you were going to be together,

and it is no wonder that you thought

he was falling in love with you.

Yeah. I get it. My behaviour disgusting.

Do I need to work on myself? Absolutely.

Am I? Yes.

But I don't deserve this.

I don't deserve this.

I don't.

- You really don't, Bec. - Sorry.

- No, no. No-one deserves it. - I'm so embarrassed.

You don't have to be embarrassed because someone

made you believe that they were falling in love with you.

That's not your embarrassment to carry.

That was done intentionally.

And I'm sorry that you're sitting here

and you're feeling like that.

Yeah.

You OK?

Yeah.

It's just really harsh, man.

I'm gonna be OK. I deserve so much more.

I just hope that he watches this and realises

that he's got work to do, too.

Bec, look, I know this has been really intense,

but there is something else we need to discuss.

Messages that came to light between Danny and Steph.

Bec, I know you're probably not going to like this,

but Steph is here,

so let's bring her out.

Hello.

- Oh, my back. - How are we?

- Hi, honey. - Gorgeous girl, hello.

Nice to see you.

- Hi. - Hello. How are you?

Mwah.

- Hi, guys. - Take a seat, my love.

- Nice to see you again. - Thanks for having me.

- Steph, thanks for joining us. - Pleasure.

Well, let's just cut straight to the chase.

Why were you and Danny messaging each other?

I saw that he was following me on Instagram,

so I was just like, hey, man, how are you?

Like, how's life post-experiment?

Why did you feel like you had to share that with Bec?

Well, I just because I didn't want to lie.

I'd rather be up front and show Bec my phone.

I gave her my phone and said, look,

here's the whole conversation.

You had enough time to delete a few.

Not saying that they were saucy.

And the phone call. You never told me about a phone call.

The phone call was right at the end.

OK.

There were no deleted messages.

We don't know what the content of those messages

were at this point in time, what was the content?

So there were, like, there were some photos exchanged,

one of which I was wearing a bikini top

because he was like, how was Hamilton Island?

I've never been there. So I sent him some photos.

Selfie of you in the office.

Voice notes. She rang him.

What were the voice notes?

So there was a voice note in there as well,

and I was like, oh my god, it's so good to hear your voice.

Like, you know, how have you been?

I don't, I haven't even gone back over to listen to them

because it wasn't that deep.

Well, Bec, why were you so angry?

Like, what about this made you furious or so deeply hurt?

I'm going to start off by saying

the way I spoke to you wasn't OK.

No, it wasn't it.

The way you talking to Danny wasn't OK.

As my friend, who knew that he had just broken my heart,

and you'd been supporting me so graciously,

why you felt the need to, A, lie to me

and say he reached out to you first,

but B, to even engage in that conversation.

- He broke your friend's heart. - Yeah.

And that's what upset me so much.

Did it ever move from a sort of networking

to a friendship, to flirt?

I don't think so.

Like, I was never attracted to Danny.

Did Danny make it flirty?

No. No.

I never felt like he was trying to flirt with me.

Did it feel like a friendship betrayal to you?

Yeah, a lot.

Because, like, I didn't get out of bed for six days.

All I did was cry and stay in bed.

And I didn't understand why he'd done it.

And he wouldn't speak to me.

- But he was talking to her. - I am really sorry.

Sorry.

It blew up on both sides of you because, you know,

clearly we saw that things were tense between you and Danny,

but what we didn't see was actually what happened

once the dinner party had ended.

Yeah.

OK. That's alright. That's all good.

That's OK, Danny.

Yeah.

I'm so sorry you had to deal with that.

Oh, it's not for you to apologise.

I just find it so funny because I...

But it's not... That's not funny.

Calling someone a little skank is not funny.

I think the reason why maybe I'm laughing

is because he was like, you've done this for air time.

And I'm like, do you think I want to get screamed at

by this woman for air time?

Like, I'm happy just sitting at the fucking end of the table,

minding my own business.

He called you a skank.

An effing little skank.

I'm disgusted by the way that he spoke to you.

To think that you can speak about a woman or anyone.

To a woman!

Actually, you're correct. To a woman that way.

And, oh, I'm not being recorded, so it's going to be fine. No.

So it just shows further that what we've been given

of Danny is a manufactured version of Danny.

You guys were friends.

And all of this has obviously put a massive wedge

in that relationship and in your friendship,

how do you feel towards each other now?

Oh, look, I mean...

We're never going to be good friends again.

No. And that's OK.

The way that I behaved toward you was not OK.

I was deflecting my anger on him to you. And I'm sorry.

Guys, we do really wish you all the best. And I mean that.

Every single one of you.

We hope you find the loves of your life.

We hope you had a wonderful time in the experiment

from whatever happened.

And we hope most of all that you learn something

and take something away from it. That's what it's all about.

Well, there is still plenty more to come tonight.

They had the country crying happy tears at the final vows,

and now Stella and Filip are here to share what's next,

including the all-important wedding plans.

Plus, after their explosive end,

Alissa and David still have a lot to say.

And we are not talking about Alissa's vows.

But before we get stuck into all of that,

it is time to hear what the trolls had to say this week.

So here is Posted and Roasted.

Listen, Mysy9, I considered it.

I'm still considering it now, to be honest with you.

Well, I definitely need a kidney

after how many times I just got punched.

I don't even get that. What do you mean?

What does that mean?

Oh, that's lame as though.

Honey, he's taken.

Look, I'll give you that one too, buddy.

Look, I've probably kissed too many fish in my life,

so I might have to, uh, practise on some more humans, hey?

I do!

How do you know the gays are here?

Now you can say what you want about my gift.

But don't come for my girl Tay Tay.

Look, now I'm watching it back, I can see that.

But you should have heard what the pillow talk was like, babe.

I actually like these tweets.

Keep them coming. That wasn't that bad.

I mean, there was actually some kind of

nice ones this time.

Surprising, isn't it?

Well, David and Alissa are waiting in the wings

itching to get their sides of the story out

after a dramatic end to their relationship.

Now, before we get into it all,

let's look back at how it unravelled.

The ball is in my court today, and it breaks my heart

knowing that I'm going to be breaking his heart

at the end of this.

What I've come to understand is that with you,

there was no version of me that could win.

I'm walking away because loving you

shouldn't mean losing myself.

You're not gonna listen to my vows?

That was the most disrespectful thing

that anyone has ever done to me.

You're a coward, and your ego got the better of you.

And you walk away like a little boy

because you couldn't face the music.

I walk in today,

and the first thing you wanted me to do

is apologise to you.

You spat on my face.

She calls me walking away spitting on her.

You spat on my face.

I don't want to bring all the dirty laundry out.

You told me you went to Adelaide.

On the flight back, did you or did you not

get some friend's number?

You got a man's number?

Can I just say?

Can I finish my spiel? And then you can go.

You've been talking for the last ten minutes.

You've been talking more than everyone here

for the last 20 minutes. So let me speak.

Moving on. You're not my person. I'm moving on.

It really hurts because I was falling in love with him.

But I don't know.

I don't know that man.

I don't know who he is.

Oh, Alissa and David, welcome first.

This has been a really hard two weeks to watch back.

Has it been hard for you guys to watch?

I haven't been watching it. It's been a lot.

Yeah, it's a lot of emotions.

Like I've watched bits and pieces,

but it's just it's really hard to watch. Yeah, it's...

Is it the emotions around the break-up?

Are you not watching it because you don't,

the behaviour, like, what is it about what we're seeing

that's too hard for you to watch now?

It's a very unhappy version of myself.

Is it hard to watch back the behaviour?

Um, it's... I wouldn't say it's the behaviour.

It's just not a happy version of myself.

It's hard, it's just really hard to watch.

I'm trying to find my words.

I'll phrase it differently.

Do you watch it back and feel proud

or OK with your behaviour?

Oh, no. Like, I've learned so much.

Like this happened six months ago

and you watch back on things and...

oh, gosh, that was not a version of myself that I'm proud of.

Alissa, I want to hear from you

how you feel this deteriorated.

There was just something inside me

that I couldn't put my finger on it.

Like, there was something wrong.

It was just a feeling.

Do you think that you were looking for something

to pin a reason onto?

Because it really did feel like at home towns, you spiralled.

And when it was the test,

the whole fight with the ring being taken off.

It was like you had something.

Have a reason to be so angry and you could not let it go.

I couldn't let it go. No.

I think everything was just heightened

in that moment.

And I was just like, uh, nah.

I know that we started to cling to things

once it unravelled,

but actually, in its very essence,

why did it not work?

I feel like over time, I think Alissa just realised

it wasn't the right fit for her.

If I look back, I don't know if you were fully into it

from the start and that's fine.

That's my... that's what I think.

If it wasn't for that commitment ceremony,

I think that's where it really crumbled for me.

OK. That's fair.

I was going in there and I'm like, let's get the tools

that we need from the experts to be able to move forward.

And I don't know about you, but I remember we both were like,

what tools did we get?

Mel gave us a great tool.

She said, talk this through.

What happens when I get home? Alissa moves out.

My frustration after that commitment ceremony was

babe, like, why is this the last commitment ceremony?

And it's like this, this, this, this, this.

But watching it back now, can you I guess, Alissa,

see the times where David tried to speak

and you weren't giving him the space

in the communication to do so?

Oh, there were definitely areas

that I could do better listening for sure.

And I watched back and I'm like, gosh, Alissa,

just let him talk.

You know, just let him speak. Let the man speak.

We were screaming at the TV.

You were saying, "Why won't you talk to me?"

over the top of him trying to talk.

Did you feel that at the time, David?

But yeah, I definitely felt like there were times

where I tried to bring up something, and I don't know,

if it didn't sound too good to you, it'd get shut down.

What's sad about this is by the time the truth came out,

you didn't have enough time with the experts to work through it.

It was a horrible time to unravel.

It was the worst.

We did have great times together, you know,

we made so many memories together.

But you know what?

Like, he just wasn't my person, you know?

And that is OK.

And when you get that gut feeling and you're feeling like

there's something missing for me, that is OK too.

Sometimes when you have that gut feeling

but you don't have a reason,

it's what makes you clutch onto those reasons even tighter.

So then when there was something that David did,

instead of being able to get over it, it was like...

It was heightened.

And I look back on that

and I've learned so much about myself.

Alissa, I know that you haven't watched it back,

but how do you feel you might have responded

in the final test date?

And is that behaviour acceptable in your eyes now?

Oh, no. I was definitely just on the wines

and I did cross boundaries definitely with my jokes.

But also following Conor on Instagram

felt like a bit of a betrayal.

Yeah, and you know what?

That probably wasn't the wisest thing.

Probably?

Wasn't the smartest move for sure.

You live and you learn.

The reality was, is that that whole thing was a final test

and like going away and then adding that person

on Instagram does feel like you failed the test in some ways.

You know what I mean? Like, that...

The test was to test if the grass was greener.

If it was like a random girl

who was going to give me perspective on my relationship,

I'll sit there all day, every day.

But these girls obviously...

I'll be honest, I left the experiment

and three of them were in my DMs, so.

They've been in our DMs.

They've been in everyone's DMs.

Yeah, they... Not in Jules's. Not on Jules's DMs.

It's at Jules Lund lowercase...

So all I'm saying is I would go back

and do the same thing again.

In that moment after the final test when he brought it up

and he said he felt really hurt.

Yeah, I wasn't hearing him.

And I will I would admit that I shut off

and I pushed back and I...

I was mad.

You turned it against him.

And whilst he took his ring off, then you grabbed on to that.

Yeah. And that's not... I look back on these clips.

I'm like, girl, that's like, you're way blowing that shit

out of proportion, like...

David, we saw you declaring your love every which way,

on your knees, standing up, walking around the room.

Then it was only a couple of days later that we saw you

deliver your vows and walk away.

What happened in those two days for you to make that switch?

The last sort of straw for me was the last dinner party.

I was really trying and fighting for the relationship,

because I came into this experiment to change my ways

and actually dropped my ego and be like,

yo, I'm giving you everything.

Let's see what I can get back.

So that last dinner party was my last plea.

It breaks my heart knowing that, you know,

I'm going to hurt this man that told me he loved me.

And I just couldn't say it back.

We have. We said it off-camera a couple.

David! Woah!

- Alissa, did you? - I didn't say I love you.

I never said I loved him.

- It's happened. - When?

In the apartments.

I know you probably had a little to drink.

How many times has this happened?

I'd say twice it's happened.

I never said "I love you."

I said I was falling in love with you.

But I didn't say I love you, David.

That's alright.

David, why do you think it pissed off Alissa so much

that you walked away?

I don't know, I feel like maybe you wanted

to have the final say.

I didn't want to have the final say.

Like, I have enough respect for what we built.

Were you pissed off that

you weren't going to be able to deliver those?

Or that you were sad because you were breaking his heart?

No, I wasn't pissed off.

You were pissed off because you wanted an apology.

Oh, when I got to the dinner party.

And that was three weeks later,

after processing how I felt after that moment.

And so you arrived at anger?

Well, what happens, first, you hurt.

And then the anger comes after the hurt.

What comes after anger? And where are you now?

I'm so happy in my life right now.

You know, I feel like you learn a lot about yourself

within that environment.

I could have done better. I could have let him speak more.

And I should have just articulated myself

in a better way.

And obviously, I've been able to move forward

and am so in love and so happy.

And I wouldn't be here if I hadn't have gone through

what I went through last year, you know.

Alissa, we have seen that you're in a new relationship

and we are so excited for you.

How does it feel and where are you at in your life?

I am so in love.

Never felt like this before in any previous relationship.

Block your ears.

I thought I knew what love was and that feeling.

But this is a connection I can't even describe.

And I feel so lucky to have this man by my side.

David, are there any lucky ladies?

Oh, um, I am dating. Um, I am dating.

Dating multiples or one?

I'm in the dating market. Let's put it like that.

- The DMs are open! - Multiples.

Life is great.

That's all I'm going to say.

Well, David and Alissa, thank you so much for joining us.

We really appreciate your time.

Look, while it didn't work out for you guys,

there of course, was one couple

that kept our faith in love alive.

And that was Stella and Filip,

who will be joining us in just a moment.

But first, let's take a look back at their magic.

Can't believe we're at the end here. Like, just...

Yeah.

It's crazy. Like, I actually do not want to

spend a day without him.

I asked the experts to be the love story

and my wish got granted.

Decision process for the final vows is non-existent for me.

I have very clear writing on the wall.

He's my man. That's it.

I thought that I was never going to experience

a love like this.

And I want to be with her for the rest of my life.

- Hi. - How are you going, baby?

I came here to look for love.

And what I found was far more profound.

I found home in you.

Stella, I love you more than I ever thought possible

and have never felt more certain of anything.

Stella,

will you marry me?

Tonight I'm not just walking in with someone.

I'm walking in with my fiance.

Uh, we've been keeping a secret.

I got down on one knee.

Cheers.

When you look at Stella, what do you see?

My future.

And you, Stella?

Home.

It's been such a pleasure to witness this

for all three of us.

You're an incredible team,

and we wish you both all the very best.

- That you very much. - Thank you. Appreciate it.

Thanks for everything. Seriously.

I'm actually crying.

I'm not crying. You're crying.

- Stella and Filip! - Everyone's crying.

That squeal when you looked at your ring.

I still can't believe it

because I couldn't wear it for, like, four months?

No, five? I don't know how long.

- It was just sitting in... - Show me.

It was just sitting in the shelf and I'm like,

yes, finally on!

And also there's something, you have to keep this secret

that you've had for so long.

And like, you know, most people are keeping a secret of, like,

are we or aren't we together?

And you're keeping a secret of, like, not only are we together,

we're engaged.

It's really hard.

It was really hard.

Like, yeah, we just had to literally keep hush hush.

We were hoping that and we were hopeful that

it wouldn't come out.

The number one rule was do not just get caught with it

wearing it out in public. And that's what we did.

I actually forgot what it looked like.

Now we get acquainted again. So it's all good.

We can just rock it.

When did you know? Because I feel like at the end,

it must have been this moment of like,

I know I'm committed to her.

Like, I know I want a future with Stella,

but when were you like, holy moly,

I'm leaving this with a fiance?

I was talking to Mum and Dad,

Dad's, like, Filip, she's your person.

Like, when I saw mum, this is how it was

like, you know, like, when you know, you know,

don't look at what could go wrong,

what could go right kind of thing.

And, that was it. Like, after...

Yeah, after the hometown visits, that's when I really knew that,

yeah, she's my person.

Like, this is happening.

Like, I'm so giddy with, like, how cute this is.

Yeah. Sometimes you get lost in the sauce with all the drama,

all the high school stuff. But it's real.

What we were building from day dot was real.

You nailed it because, like, at the end of the day,

very real couples come out of this.

This changes your life forever.

It must have been such an incredibly hard thing

to keep a secret.

But also, I can only imagine that the nerves

you must have been feeling.

The team did come across this off-camera

and very unguarded moment

just before you popped the question.

I was pissing so hard. I was pissing like a racehorse.

Yeah. So I don't know if it's... Yeah.

Oh, my god!

Oh, my god.

I love that.

Oh, Lord.

How many nervous wees did you end up doing?

Eight or nine.

I was standing there and I'm like, I was so nervous.

Like it was just, a lot went into it.

I wanted it more than anything.

Like, I just, yeah, I just wanted it, her to as well,

not think that it was for the cameras.

Can I just input.

What we saw at the wedding

and what was the big thing of my friends basically,

are you here for the right reasons?

That really planted a big seed in my mind.

For probably half of the experiment,

I was like, are you here for the right reasons?

Because it was so in my brain.

But I think that that's a normal part when you,

especially when you're a couple that's met on MAFS

or in any reality TV,

you're going to go through those moments where you're like,

are you here for the right reason?

Is this real?

And like, actually, oh, it makes me so emotional because

I got this, you know, like, I have three beautiful girls

because I got this from a reality TV show.

And there is a period where you question and you're like,

is it possible that this could be real?

Because it feels like it's an unbelievably lucky thing

to come across.

It makes it feel like it's you against the world.

And that's what I have in my husband.

And honestly, like the most beautiful family I have,

an incredible husband.

And like, that's going to be you guys in ten years' time.

- How good. Yes. - Quicker, quicker!

Can I congratulate you on the new bundle of joy?

Got a puppy!

Where is he?

- It's not a puppy. - Got ya!

- I just died, OK? - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Love the reaction. Love it.

But we know you don't have the snip.

So it could be real.

It could be real, hey? We don't know.

- What? - Nothing.

We got a timer, we got a timer.

- Someone got this... - 40.

The dog got the snip.

Someone had to get the snip Someone's getting the snip.

You know?

Do you feel like this is a dream come true?

- Yeah. - I can't believe it.

I actually can't believe it.

But look, we did work really hard at it, though.

And in saying that, it wasn't all kittens and rainbows.

Uh, we had serious discussions at all the time.

We were constantly tested.

It set us up for success, you know?

Guys, Congratulations. We love love.

We are absolutely thrilled for you guys

and we cannot wait to see what happens next.

And you guys are so lucky.

Not only that you fell in love,

but you can watch your love story back whenever you want.

I can't wait to see the wedding.

I'm sure it's going to be spectacular.

- Yeah, can't believe it. - Such a gift.

Well, that is all we have time for tonight.

But never fear, we have one more MAFS special up our sleeve.

It's going to be a mammoth episode

with fan favourites returning

and a few faces you never thought

that you were going to see again.

Tea will be spilt, grievances aired and rumours debunked.

It will be the juiciest take on Where Are they Now yet.

That's next Monday, right here on Stan.

See you then.

Alright.

Jules, take the lid off!

Ahhhh!

Let's go.

- Congrats! - Thank you very much.
