was digs at your personality.

Every time he did,
everyone else shut him down.
158
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,040

my relationship is going very well

He doesn't want to take advice
from me.

but at the end of the day,
162
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,280

00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,600
as to whether or not he sees
a romantic future with Lucinda.

00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:42,400
While the dinner party
has created rifts,
173
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:46,400
Lucinda's show of support
for her husband Timothy
174
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,360
has united the couple.
175
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,240
Do you want a cuppa?
Yeah, I do, actually.
176
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:51,360
OK. Great.
177
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,440
Wow. What a... What a night.
178
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,760
I do feel we've shifted energy
somewhat.
179
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:03,320
Less combative and more, you know,
a team, in unity. (LAUGHS)
180
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:07,880
I will give you props.
I really appreciated last night.
181
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,200
You actually were really awesome.
182
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:11,360
Aw.
183
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,080
You were rock-solid.
184
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:14,960
Yeah, you were really, really good.
185
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,600
I would just like to say
and I mean this with all my heart...
186
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,320
WOMAN: Yeah.
..Tim is an awesome person.
187
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,200
Yeah, we've heard it.
We've heard it.
188
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:23,680
One minute. I haven't finished.
189
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,360
It's a bit of a rally up
190
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:29,400
and I was feeling quite defensive
of Tim, to be honest.
191
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:34,440
I want us to be, you know,
having each other's back
192
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,080
and on the same team.
193
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:37,920
Of course we are.
194
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,600
This is my focus, to make it work,
195
00:08:41,680 --> 00:08:45,400
to explore a possibility
with this gorgeous man
196
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,440
that I've been matched with.
197
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,360
I've got nothing but praise for you.
198
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,400
I felt very defensive of you,
actually.
199
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:55,600
Yep.
200
00:08:55,680 --> 00:08:58,920
But I say this from a place
just 'cause I care about you -
201
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:03,720
I just think you could leave
the personal comments out.
202
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,240
I very much appreciate Lucinda
at the moment.
203
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,560
You know, my biggest thing
has been loyalty and trust.
204
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,200
And, look, I'm not exactly easy.
205
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,280
I could see that I'd hurt her
by my comments
206
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,960
and I need to just hit
the reset button.
207
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:24,560
I am here to change some of those
things, because she's a solid girl.
208
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,400
I'm willing to give it a go.
209
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:27,920
Yeah.
210
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,720
It's just everyone loves me,
that's the problem.
211
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,240
Everyone just wants to talk to me.
(LAUGHS)
212
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,640
The countdown is on to tonight's
fourth commitment ceremony...
213
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:46,640
where couples will decide
if they stay or leave.
214
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,600
The couples are busy getting ready.
215
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:53,840
You look gorgeous, by the way.
216
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:55,640
You look good too.
I know.
217
00:09:55,680 --> 00:09:58,280
Some are feeling positive.
218
00:09:58,320 --> 00:09:59,720
Some are not.
219
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:08,400
And for Jack, he's been anxious
going into the commitment ceremony
220
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,000
after meeting Tori's friend Leah,
221
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,240
who made it clear
how committed Tori has become
222
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,600
to her relationship with Jack.
223
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,360
I don't know, you definitely seem...
224
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,440
I don't even know
what the right adjective is.
225
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,080
Like, softer.
226
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,280
I don't know how to explain that
227
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:30,240
but, like, you just seem
so, like, relaxed.
228
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:35,960
We're just, like, in a really...
It's like a sweet spot, for sure.
229
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,560
I feel like I'm the only person
that, like, knows the real Tori...
230
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:39,600
Yeah.
231
00:10:39,680 --> 00:10:41,560
..and I feel like you're getting
a glimpse of it,
232
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:42,920
which obviously means
she trusts you.
233
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:46,240
Mmm.
234
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:50,120
I think meeting Leah
opened my eyes a little bit,
235
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:54,440
realising that Tori's well invested
in the relationship emotionally.
236
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,640
That put a bit of pressure on me.
237
00:10:56,680 --> 00:10:58,840
It could be a long night.
238
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,160
Yeah. It could be.
Or it could be really short.
239
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:03,560
We're over halfway now.
240
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,280
I have been thinking hard and deep
241
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,160
about where we're gonna go
each week leading forward.
242
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,320
I don't know, eh?
Just, like, expect the unexpected.
243
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,600
You never know how these things
are gonna turn out.
244
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:17,880
I'm starting to feel
a sense of responsibility
245
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,840
for, you know, making sure
the relationship works.
246
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,520
I definitely feel like
the seat will get hot
247
00:11:23,560 --> 00:11:25,480
when we're chatting with the experts
248
00:11:25,560 --> 00:11:27,520
but I don't feel like
there'll be too many people...
249
00:11:27,560 --> 00:11:28,960
About what?
250
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,080
I don't know,
but I'm ready for a hot seat.
251
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,800
JACK: I'll admit, I'm getting
nervous in our relationship.
252
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,800
I'm confident
I know what you're gonna say...
253
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,040
You're confident
you know what I'm gonna stay...
254
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:44,200
Yep.
"What I'm gonna stay..."
255
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:45,880
(BOTH LAUGH)
See?
256
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,160
She's showed me pictures
of her future,
257
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:51,960
her house and what she wants,
258
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:56,840
so if I turned around
and wasn't that guy for her,
259
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,080
oh, she'd be pissed
260
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,600
and, yeah, probably wish
she didn't come on the experiment,
261
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:04,520
to be honest.

263
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,760
JOHN: Greetings, gentlemen.
Come and grab a seat.

MEL: Hi, ladies.
267
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:39,600
Welcome.
Welcome.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
269
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,800
MEL: Well, welcome, everyone,
to your fourth commitment ceremony.
270
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,160
Now, it's been a big week.
271
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:04,600
Those original couples,
you've met the family and friends
272
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:05,920
and for our new couples,
273
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:10,080
you've had a crash course
in everything about this experiment
274
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,080
so you have so much
to share with us tonight
275
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,440
and we cannot wait to catch up
with each and every one of you.
276
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,040
Let's get our first couple
on the couch tonight.
277
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:24,880
Ellie and Ben.
278
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:26,760
JACK: Hey! Good luck, guys.
279
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,040
(APPLAUSE)
(TENSE MUSIC)
280
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:35,920
MEL: Hi, guys.
ELLIE: Hello.
281
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,640
MEL: Well, as you know,
282
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,240
we watch the dinner parties
very closely
283
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:48,640
and it's very clear that things
have fallen apart with you guys.
284
00:13:48,680 --> 00:13:52,400
Ellie, what's happened?
285
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,840
Well, last week on the couch,
I wrote 'leave'...
286
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:56,920
Mmm.
287
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,960
..and effectively
John said Ben has seven days
288
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,080
to try and turn it around,
'cause Ben wrote 'stay'.
289
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:04,120
Yeah. He did.
290
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:08,880
The day after, Ben actually ran away
from Skye Suites.
291
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:12,320
We couldn't find him.
292
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:16,920
A few days after that, we decided to
have a chat about our relationship,
293
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:18,360
which lasted two and a half hours
294
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:23,360
and what I got out of that
was a list of stuff
295
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,280
that he didn't like about me.
296
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,640
He didn't like the fact
that I was wearing make-up,
297
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,000
he said that I was too emotional
and too sensitive.
298
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:35,760
He doesn't like
that I'm from the Gold Coast.
299
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,320
There was poor communication
and bad conversation.
300
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:41,640
Wow.
301
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,400
I'm just getting confused,
mixed messages, you know,
302
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,880
the gift-giving and writing songs.
303
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,000
I've been trying to explain
to the group how I'm feeling
304
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:56,800
but they probably don't get it
305
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,680
because what Ben's telling them
is all kindness and positivity...
306
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:00,720
Mmm.
307
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:02,320
..but you're not seeing
what I've been experiencing.
308
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,520
SARA: We see it.
Thank you.
309
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,520
I'm not trying to run him
into the ground...
310
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:08,560
No.
311
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,640
..but I am speaking my truth
312
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,640
and I absolutely need
to call this out.
313
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,320
EDEN: Yeah, you go, girlfriend.
314
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:17,920
I feel like I've been going crazy.
315
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,240
That feeling that you're describing
of "Am I going crazy?"
316
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,560
is the very definition
of being gaslit.
317
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,320
That's what's going on here.
Oh.
318
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:40,000
You're not going crazy and what
you're feeling is completely valid...
319
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,120
particularly the confusion...
Yep.
320
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,200
..and the questioning yourself.
321
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:56,400
JOHN: Ben,
what I really want to know
322
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,360
is how do you feel towards Ellie?
323
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:02,920
JONATHAN: Here we go.
324
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:07,720
I think she's terrific.
325
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:09,600
I've never stopped thinking that.
326
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,000
Every time.
I just...
327
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:16,880
I don't know what to believe
anymore.
328
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:18,240
I know. And that's what I mean.
329
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,320
Well, then, Ben, you've got to
explain that to us.
330
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,200
OK. Um...
331
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,240
(TENSE MUSIC)
332
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:31,640
The connection, I guess,
hasn't been as strong as I hoped.
333
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:37,960
SARA: Ben, you gave her a gift
two days ago
334
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,120
trying to ask to be, like,
in the relationship again
335
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,240
and then at the dinner table,
you told all of us
336
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,600
that you see her as a friend.
337
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,800
Come on, mate. Make up your mind.
Do you like her or do you not?
338
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:50,720
Yeah, so you see how confused
I've been.
339
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,120
Not (BLEEP) confusing.
Yeah.
340
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,200
Like, it was an amazing
first few weeks.
341
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,400
I was so happy.
I remember saying that.

00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:00,440

JOHN: Ben, are you listening
to yourself?

00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,760
(SIGHS)
Come on.
345
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,240
I'm doing my best, John.
346
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:13,880
We looked high and low
for an ideal match for you.
347
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:17,600
We got you one
and you dropped the ball.
348
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:23,120
I guess so. Um...
349
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:26,040
Possibly it's an unconscious thing
350
00:17:26,120 --> 00:17:28,600
or if it's not,
it wouldn't be deliberate...
351
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:35,440
Ben, I don't want to hear
"I guess I might have done this,"
352
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:39,360
"Subconsciously maybe it was that."
353
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:40,680
Stop it!
354
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:50,160
You need to start owning
your behaviour.

00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,120
Let me ask you this.
357
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,360
In what world, when I say to you
358
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,760
"Do everything you can to win
her back and increase her trust"
359
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:04,120
would you think it's a good idea
360
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,520
to give her a list of the things
you hate about her?

Ben, let me ask you this.
363
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,760
In what world, when I say to you
364
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,400
"Do everything you can to
win her back and increase her trust"

to give her a list of the things
you hate about her?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

That was a journal of thoughts I had
compiled for a while and it was...
369
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,000
Why did you even show that to her?

"I like you, but here's the things
that I really hate."
372
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,040
I know that
you are an incredible woman.
373
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:54,720
I still believe that. Always have.
374
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:56,600
I've never lost sight of that
375
00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:00,200
but it seems
no matter which...what we do...
376
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:01,400
it's just...
377
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,440
I don't know what to do.
No. No. No.
378
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,320
Ben, I'm not letting you
get away with that.
379
00:19:09,360 --> 00:19:11,840
No, you've got to own it.
380
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,520
What do you think your behaviour's
done to Ellie
381
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:16,160
over the last five weeks?
382
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,800
How you think it makes her feel
on the inside?
383
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:22,760
Oh... Uh...
384
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:26,560
I'll answer.
385
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,440
It destroys my self-esteem.
386
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:31,920
I slept with you,
you know what I mean,
387
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,920
and you told me you felt so...
like, so good about me,
388
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:39,920
so it makes me feel so shit
about myself.
389
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,280
Ben, you're sitting there deadpan...
MEL: Mmm.
390
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,160
..with no emotion.
391
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:54,720
I don't know if you're happy,
sad, embarrassed,
392
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:59,000
excited to get out of here,
want to stay.
393
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:03,600
It's like there's this flat facade
that you put up.
394
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,720
Your partner has just told you
395
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:14,880
how belittled she feels
about all of this.
396
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:20,320
Is this generally the way in which
you receive information like this?
397
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:24,520
I'm lost for words.
398
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,040
I don't know what to say.
399
00:20:28,120 --> 00:20:30,760
What about showing some emotion
towards Ellie
400
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,040
and how bad you feel, mate?
401
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,240
That wouldn't be a bad thing.
402
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,600
You've ruined the experience for me
403
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:46,360
because I came here genuinely,
like...
404
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,640
Everyone knows that I just...
I want to start a family
405
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:51,400
and I want a husband to do that with
406
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,120
and, you know, I've been robbed
of that experience.
407
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:57,600
I can understand.
408
00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:59,040
No, I don't think you do.
409
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:01,800
You say a lot of words, Ben,
410
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,200
but you don't actually know
the meaning of them.
411
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,680
I don't think you understand.
412
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:11,160
I've sat here for weeks on end
hearing this same old script
413
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,360
come out of your mouth.
414
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:18,360
You have not been committed
to this experiment.
415
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:23,320
You have not tried to give yourself
over to the process.
416
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:28,280
What you've done
is sidestepped hard questions,
417
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:33,160
had conversations behind closed doors
418
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,000
and tried to present a fake self.
419
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:41,680
What we do know for a fact
is the way you've treated her
420
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:45,960
has absolutely picked apart
her self-esteem.
421
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:52,280
And I don't like seeing
that toxic pattern go on
422
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,600
week after week.
423
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,680
How can I...
Frankly, I'm done.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:02,440

426
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:04,480
Ellie, what have you got?
Stay or leave?
427
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,200
I'm going to take my new voice
428
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,320
and walk out of here with confidence
and I'm leaving.
429

(APPLAUSE)
430
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,240
Alright, Ben, what have you got?
431
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:22,080
Leave.
432
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:29,040
Now, Ben...
433
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:37,840
what you've done during your time
here is played a game with us
434
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:43,240
and particularly you've played with
Ellie's feelings.
435
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:49,800
I hope what you can say
436
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:53,760
is "I've been given some home truths
437
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,160
"and I'm going to do something
different now."
438
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:01,600
And I hope that you do
439
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:05,360
'cause this is a one-off opportunity
for you and you need to learn.
440
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:13,160
And finally, we, as the experts,
want to thank you, Ellie,
441
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,640
because you came in
with an open heart...

00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:16,680
Mm-hn.
443
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:18,320
..you were looking for love...
Yeah.
444
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,480
..and you've got a great deal
going for you.
445
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,160
Thank you very much.
I appreciate it.
446
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:27,680
Yep.
Alright. Well done.
447
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,760
Thank you. Thanks for that.
You won't be single for long.

I don't have any regrets
about coming onto the experiment.
451
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:45,680
I've walked away with this newfound
confidence, I've got my voice back.

00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,720
I didn't get the husband
that I came for, but that's OK.

up, according to a few people.

..Richard drops
an almighty bombshell.

with somebody who has no feelings
for me...
466

And...
467
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:28,360
Is Tori into you a lot more
than you are into Tori?

00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,040
..Jack feels the pressure.
470
00:24:32,120 --> 00:24:34,240
I do have concerns
that I'm gonna let you down.

00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,520
Next up on the couch...
472
00:24:49,120 --> 00:24:51,040
Jayden and Eden.

474
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,720
(MICHAEL LAUGHS)
Yeah.
475
00:24:59,960 --> 00:25:02,560
Eden, tell us about this week
for you guys.
476
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:03,640
It's been nice.
477
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,160
But we are having
a little bit of a debate
478
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:07,920
about the family meet-up, though.
479
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:09,480
OK.
480
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:11,600
So, Mitch was there as well,
who's Jayden's brother...
481
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:12,960
Yes.
I'm sure you all know Mitch.
482
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,320
JOHN: I remember Mitch.
(LAUGHTER)
483
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,640
And Mitch said to me,
on a scale of one to ten,
484
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:20,920
one being you can't stand him
485
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,160
and ten being
you are absolutely in love,
486
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:24,920
whereabouts are you on the scale?
487
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:26,360
And I said "I'm a seven."
488
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:29,720
What did you say?
489
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:34,400
Well, I said 9.5.
490
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,480
(OTHERS EXCLAIM)
491
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:43,840
Eden, do you think that you will be
able to get to a 9.5?
492
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,640
I do.
I have a lot of hope and a lot of...
493
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:48,880
Sweet.
Yeah.
494
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:55,000
There are things that I think that
we still need to grow and build
495
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:58,440
in order for me to get to where
Jayden says he already is.
496
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,200
There's quantity of time.
497
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,200
Like, we're together
a lot of the time
498
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,360
but not often is it
just quality time.
499
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,800
When we are there with each other
and talking,
500
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:09,280
that's when it grows for me.
501
00:26:09,360 --> 00:26:11,880
JOHN: Jayden,
what she's saying to you
502
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:13,720
is that she misses you
and needs you more.
503
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:15,120
Aw. So sweet.
Aw.
504
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:16,240
(LAUGHS)
Mmm.
505
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:18,200
I do actually say that,
every time he walks out.
506
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:19,400
Yeah.
I say "I miss you."
507
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:20,600
(LAUGHS)
Yeah, that's true.
508
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:22,880
Alright, so let's go to the decision,
you guys.
509
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:24,880
I wrote obviously 'stay'.
510
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:26,400
It's pretty...
(APPLAUSE)
511
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:27,920
Big heart.
Yeah.
512
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:29,200
Eden?
513
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,560
So, I wrote 'stay' as well
with four hearts.
514
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,200
With four hearts. Oh, yeah.
(APPLAUSE)
515
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,040
Have a great week, you guys.
516
00:26:36,120 --> 00:26:38,320
Thank you so much.
MEL: Well done, guys.
517
00:26:38,360 --> 00:26:40,680
JOHN: Let's get our next couple up.
518
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:41,920
Tristan and Cass.
519
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,960
(APPLAUSE)
520
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:51,320
Last week, at the end
of your couch session, Cass,
521
00:26:51,360 --> 00:26:52,520
you wrote 'stay'
522
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,120
and Tristan, you wrote 'leave'.
523
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:56,280
I did.
524
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,040
You guys had to really think about
525
00:26:59,120 --> 00:27:01,160
what you were gonna do
and then change it up.
526
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:06,040
Tristan's last words on this couch
was, like, "I'll make it up to you"
527
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,480
and he certainly did.
528
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:13,520
Had a really lovely meet-the-parents
with Tristan's mother and my father.
529
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,080
And I said it was a green flag.
Like, he really impressed me.
530
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,560
He was confident, he was honest,
he was kind.
531
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:24,120
My dad and Tristan were laughing
non-stop.
532
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,280
I was, like,
"Dad, who did you come to see here?
533
00:27:26,360 --> 00:27:29,400
"Like, me or Tristan?"
(LAUGHTER)
534
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:34,320
He tried so hard to make it up to me
and he did.
535
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,160
All I can do is give it my best
536
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:39,880
and she's 100% worth trying
and changing for.
537
00:27:41,360 --> 00:27:43,400
Alright. Let's go to the decision.
538
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:45,520
We're gonna go with you first,
Tristan.
539
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,880
I thought there was gonna be
a bit more of a build-up
540
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:49,240
but I'm terrible at hiding secrets,
541
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,520
so at the end of the day,
I did write 'stay'.
542
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:54,360
MEL: Oh, and a big smile.
543
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:55,960
Lovely.
LUCINDA: Whoo-ooh!
544
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,000
Cass, what are you gonna do -
stay or leave?
545
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,200
Leave? No...
546
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:04,080
Let's build this connection further,
so I wrote 'stay'.
547
00:28:04,120 --> 00:28:05,800
TRISTAN AND MEL: Aw!
548
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:09,200
OK.
We'll start it with another kiss.
549
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:10,360
Come on.
550
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:11,440
There we go.
551
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:13,400
MEL: Well done, both of you.
552
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,320
(APPLAUSE)
553
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:19,360
Let's get our next couple up,
Jade and Ridge.
554
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,640
(APPLAUSE)
555
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:25,920
RIDGE: G'day, g'day.
556
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,680
Now, you did the crash course
this week
557
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,160
to catch up with
the rest of the group here.
558
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:35,280
How did that go?
559
00:28:35,360 --> 00:28:39,480
The confessions letter,
like, caught me off guard.
560
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:41,880
Why did the letter
catch you off guard?
561
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:46,000
I don't know, I guess, like,
it's just hard for me to open up
562
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,200
and, like, I know I'm just, like,
in my own head
563
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:52,880
'cause I feel like I have opened up
before and I've just been let down
564
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:54,840
and, yeah.
565
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:58,800
Is that where this all comes from,
566
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,960
the fact that guys have betrayed you
in the past
567
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:03,560
and you can't be sure of yourself
now?
568
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:05,400
In the past, I've always competed
with other girls
569
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:11,440
and I've always lost, so then, like,
it makes me, like, doubt myself.
570
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:16,240
Ridge, what do you make of this?
571
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:19,800
You know, when you hear her,
you know, let the walls down,
572
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:21,400
let you in, what do you think?
573
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:25,440
Obviously I appreciate that she's
letting her walls down with me.
574
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:27,320
Obviously it's not easy for her
to do that
575
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,120
given what she's been through.
576
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,400
I know she's had
a really, really rough time
577
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:33,280
in terms of her previous partners.
578
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:38,560
But I want a future with someone.
Hopefully it's gonna be with Jade.
579
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,920
She does it for me
in every single way.
580
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,840
I admire how grounded and strong
she is.
581
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,400
She's such a good mum,
she's such a good friend.
582
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:49,600
She's actually a good person
583
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,800
and I can see a future with her
outside of this.
584
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,400
Jade, what do you think about it?
585
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:02,600
It makes me happy. (LAUGHS)
586
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:04,520
Ridge's response to my letter
587
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,800
is honestly what made me think,
like, he's actually being genuine.
588
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:11,640
He got really heartfelt, which was,
like, really nice to see.
589
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:17,400
LUCINDA: Chemistry's felt, you two.
It's palpable, your energy together.
590
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:18,600
Thanks.
591
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:24,040
Alright. With that being said,
let's go to the decision.
592
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,240
Easy. Stay.
593
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:28,760
Easy. Stay. Good.
(APPLAUSE)
594
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,240
And what about you, Jade?
Stay.
595
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:35,600
Great stuff.
MEL: Yeah.
596
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,760
(APPLAUSE)
Great stuff.
597
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:42,840
And with that,
you can go back to the group.
598
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,560
(APPLAUSE)
599
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:53,160
ALESSANDRA: The next couple
up on the couch, Andrea and Richard.
600
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,440
(APPLAUSE)
601
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:57,560
RICHARD: Here we go.
602
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,000
WOMAN: She's bowing.
(LAUGHTER)
603
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:01,040
MEL: Hello.
604
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:02,360
Hello, hello.
605
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:03,800
RICHARD: Hi.
606
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:07,600
Last week, the two of you seemed
quite different
607
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,880
from what we had experienced
earlier in the experiment.
608
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:13,200
How are you doing this week?
609
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:16,440
We had the worst week.
610
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:21,320
We ended up having a fight -
our first fight.
611
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,080
What precipitated the fight?
612
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:31,000
After the last commitment ceremony,
after dinner,
613
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:35,400
I went into the other room
and was on the phone to my family
614
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:37,520
and I shut the door.
615
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:39,920
I was probably about an hour
in that room.
616
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,720
The next morning,
Rich was not happy with me.
617
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,600
He explained that he was offended
618
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:51,600
that I went into the room
and shut the door,
619
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:53,000
so we butted heads.
620
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,600
The fight was that I felt
Andy wasn't trying.
621
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,160
Because she closed the door?
622
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:02,840
No, no, no, because there was...
623
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:06,720
There was no shift since
the last time we sat on the couch.
624
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:09,920
We started off very physical
625
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,200
and then there was a pull-back
on it.
626
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:15,360
Intimacy fell off.
"When is it gonna come back?"
627
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:18,120
And this has been going on
for weeks.
628
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,720
I mean, this is not just something
that I felt like that.
629
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:22,720
You know, I'm, like,
"Where's the intimacy, man.
630
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,960
"Like, you're not trying."
And I said that to Andy.
631
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:29,320
That really upset her because
she said, "Damn, I AM trying."
632
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:31,520
But it's telling the story
of our relationship.

(TENSE MUSIC)
634
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:38,960
There seems to be a need
that you have
635
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:43,520
for Andrea to actively be validating
your love language
636
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:48,040
so that then you can understand
that she is into you.

The insecurity comes from
639
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,480
that I've been in a relationship
for five weeks
640
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:04,720
with somebody who has no feelings
for me and I have feelings for her.

for Andrea to actively be validating

there's an insecurity about that.

There's a whole lot of insecurities
that come with that.
652
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:03,000
I'm processing the part
653
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:07,760
where you're stating
that Andrea has NO feelings for you.
654
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:11,360
That... I'm actually quite shocked.
No. No...
655
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:12,840
That hasn't been my impression.
656
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,240
I don't think that's been
what Andrea has expressed.
657
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:16,320
No.
658
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:21,120
So, is that how you feel?
Is that your interpretation?
659
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:23,680
No, no, that was something
that WAS actually expressed by Andy
660
00:34:23,720 --> 00:34:25,920
to me last week.
661
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,280
"I don't have the feelings for you."
662
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:32,400
That's what she said.
663
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:37,400
I meant
I'm not feeling the intimacy.
664
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:41,720
Yeah, no, I know that.
Not like I'm not feeling us...
665
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:44,440
Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. No, no,
I get that. Yeah. I get that.
666
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:47,080
So, your interpretation of her saying
"I'm not feeling it"
667
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:48,760
is "I have got no feelings for you"?
668
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:49,800
In that moment...
669
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,680
I just want to clarify the words
because those were very strong,
670
00:34:52,720 --> 00:34:54,600
important, potent words
671
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:56,720
and you've just expressed them
out loud to all of us.
672
00:34:59,240 --> 00:35:01,400
Of course, Andrea is hearing that
673
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:03,720
and that is something that she takes
with her
674
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,440
and is also going to play
in her whole process.
675
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:08,400
Yeah.
676
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:13,800
Andrea, how are you feeling
towards Richard?
677
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,440
Now?
Yes.
678
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:20,120
I'm...
679
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:23,800
Because I'm seeing
a completely different person,
680
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:25,960
completely different version of you
681
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,480
than we saw at the beginning
of the experiment in terms of...
682
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:31,800
Mmm.
..the way you relate to Richard.
683
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:34,040
You were giddy, you were excited.
684
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:38,080
There was a sense of hope
and just 'illusionment'...
685
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:41,840
Yeah. I'm not that anymore.
686
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:49,200
I feel different now because
my bubble has been burst a few times
687
00:35:49,240 --> 00:35:51,240
and I just feel a bit flatter.
688
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:56,200
The photo challenge,
not being the one he liked the most
689
00:35:56,280 --> 00:36:01,000
and the recent one
with me trying, trying
690
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:04,760
and not being seen and still
fighting and not resolving it
691
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:06,240
and going, "How can you not see?"
692
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:12,600
But I'm still here
and I still like him, so...
693
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:16,760
What do you need from Richard?
694
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:20,880
Validation.
695
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:23,360
And acknowledgement.
696
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:24,560
Mmm.
697
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:27,520
What do you say to that, Richard?
698
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:33,360
100%.
699
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:36,320
I've always been confident
700
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:39,000
that this relationship
has the potential to go long-term.
701
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:41,480
I'm in or I'm not in.
702
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:45,360
I'm not a half kind of on the fence
guy, yeah? I'm in.
703
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:49,360
Let's go to the decision, you guys.
704
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:52,560
Let's start with Richard.
705
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:58,200
So, my decision is...
is 'stay', of course.
706
00:36:58,240 --> 00:37:00,640
I'm still loving it. Yeah, yeah.
707
00:37:00,720 --> 00:37:02,600
Very big, bold statement.
Big, bold statement.
708
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:04,160
We like it.
Smiley face and a kiss.
709
00:37:04,240 --> 00:37:07,680
My frame of possibility for us
is still there...
710
00:37:07,720 --> 00:37:08,720
Mm-hm.
711
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:11,000
..and I wanted to... (BLOWS, COUGHS)
712
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:13,760
(LAUGHTER)
Don't choke on that flame.
713
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:16,440
(COUGHS) ..burn brighter...
714
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:17,680
So sexy, my husband.
715
00:37:17,720 --> 00:37:20,480
(LAUGHTER)
716
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:23,120
I'm an old guy, man.
You know, shit.
717
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:25,920
CASS: You take his breath away,
Andy. (LAUGHS)
718
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,880
Andrea, let's go to your decision.
719
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:31,480
As Rihanna said...
(SINGS) # Want you to stay... #
720
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:34,520
(LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE)
721
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:35,640
MEL: Oh, fabulous.
722
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:37,680
I'll say this to you guys.
723
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:40,960
Focus on the progression,
focus on your intent
724
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:43,000
and that confidence
that you both have
725
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:46,040
that this relation...
can go for the long haul
726
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:47,400
and really be
what you're looking for.
727
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:49,840
Have a great week.
Thank you very much.
728
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,040
MEL: Well done, guys.
(APPLAUSE)
729
00:37:53,240 --> 00:37:56,840
ANDREA: When my bubbles get burst,
it's devastating
730
00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:00,040
but I think we're both
in a really good place
731
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:01,880
of, yeah, some realisations
732
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:04,600
and understand each other's
communication style
733
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:09,320
and that helps, moving forward.
734
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:11,840
Let's get our next couple
up on the couch.
735
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:13,680
Lucinda and Timothy.
736
00:38:13,720 --> 00:38:16,200
(APPLAUSE)
737
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:21,120
Hello!
How are we?
738
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:25,360
Well, this is a very different couple
to the one we're quite used to.
739
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:27,520
Isn't it?
COUPLE: Yeah.
740
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:31,480
And you were a real team last night.
We were.
741
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:33,720
Mmm.
742
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,000
Tim, I've gotta be honest with you.
Yeah.
743
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:38,320
It's quite clear for us...
Yeah.
744
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:40,880
..observing you
within this group dynamic,
745
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:42,360
particularly at the dinner parties,
746
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:44,960
that there's a number of people here
who have an issue with you...
747
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:46,000
(LAUGHS)
748
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:49,760
..and the relationship
that the two of you have.
749
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:50,880
Mmm.
750
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:54,240
Why do you think that is?
751
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:57,560
I don't know, you know.
752
00:38:57,600 --> 00:38:58,880
It's an opinion.
753
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:02,000
They tell it like it is,
I tell it like it is
754
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:04,080
and it doesn't line up sometimes.
755
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:07,000
And in regards to a relationship,
756
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:10,560
it does take me a little bit
to warm up...
757
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:12,480
Mm-hm.
..to genuine relationship.
758
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:16,240
So, the slow-burn thing.
759
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:20,200
But, you know, the whole
slow-burning thing is getting old.
760
00:39:20,240 --> 00:39:22,240
(SIGHS)
761
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:23,880
Like, when does the progress start?
762
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:28,000
Because for us, it doesn't seem like
anything has started since day one.
763
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:30,960
I know, because you're 27,
so you don't know the progress.
764
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:34,320
That's what I'm saying.
765
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:36,480
We're supposed to know the progress.
That's why we're all here.
766
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:38,960
Stop with the personal digs.
You don't know what's going on.
767
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:41,280
We don't, 'cause you don't tell us
anything. We need to know.
768
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:47,600
You know, Jayden, we've actually
let go of some really big armour
769
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:49,720
in the last couple of days,
genuinely.
770
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:53,000
We are actually willing
771
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:55,400
and we've got a lot of respect
and regard for each other.
772
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:01,440
We're doing it at a pace
that Tim's comfortable with
773
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:02,880
and I'm up for the journey.
774
00:40:04,720 --> 00:40:06,360
I'm really happy.
775
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:07,960
Yeah.
I'm feeling good.
776
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:09,800
SARA: We're happy if you're happy.
777
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:11,760
Cool.
778
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:16,400
But we've clearly had a shift
from friends and family
779
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:18,160
and it did go well.
780
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:22,560
Tell us, what's changed?
781
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:26,120
There was a huge shift
with family and friends visit...
782
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:27,360
Mm-hm.
783
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:29,800
..particularly my dad,
who came with his magic pouch and...
784
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:31,040
It sounds like it.
785
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,080
..sprinkled it all over Tim...
(LAUGHS)
786
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:35,840
..and gave him a good nudge.
787
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:40,080
Tim just came back
with a whole different energy field.
788
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:42,760
You have certain people
that can really handle you...
789
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:43,800
Mmm.
790
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:46,720
..and I've never actually had
a father say,
791
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:48,560
"Just have a one-night stand
with my daughter.
792
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:50,680
"See where it goes."
(LAUGHTER)
793
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:55,160
You just can't be pissed off
around that guy.
794
00:40:55,240 --> 00:40:58,040
Even the moment he told you,
"If you yell at my daughter again"
795
00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:01,240
he's got people in Melbourne that
he knows that can break your leg?
796
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:03,680
(LAUGHTER)
Go, Dad.
797
00:41:03,720 --> 00:41:05,400
He was just a classic.
798
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:08,760
He really stuck it to me
for the first ten minutes...
799
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:09,800
OK.
800
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:11,640
Yeah, he came with a lot of
hard-hitting questions.
801
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:12,680
Mmm.
802
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:15,200
Definitely respect
where he's coming from
803
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:18,480
and I definitely listened
to his advice.
804
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:22,760
When you and I met
at the start of the experiment
805
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:24,680
and we had that chat...
Yeah.
806
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:28,120
..one of the key things that came up
was about your walls, wasn't it,
807
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:29,320
and, you know...
Totally.
808
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:31,520
..knowing that you're coming
into this process
809
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:33,920
and gonna have some battles
with some of those walls.
810
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:34,960
Yeah.
811
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:37,680
Do you think some of them
are starting to come down now?
812
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:41,560
(EXHALES)
I think that they sort of...
813
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:45,240
They come and they go.
814
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:48,600
Yeah, just little things that
she does actually breaks it down.
815
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:50,840
And, look,
Lucinda's an incredible girl.
816
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:52,400
She's sweet, she's kind.
817
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:55,000
She's never got a bad word to say
about anybody
818
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:57,920
and she's just really thoughtful.
819
00:41:59,880 --> 00:42:02,760
So, you know, there isn't...
820
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:05,240
There's nothing not to like
about Lucinda.
821
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:10,760
And for yourself, it's worth noting
that quite often
822
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:13,200
the process of bringing down
the walls is not linear, you know.
823
00:42:13,240 --> 00:42:14,240
Mmm.
824
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:16,400
You know, it's not just they're all
down in one week...
825
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:17,600
Right.
..and then you're fixed. Yeah.
826
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:20,080
There can be a bit of up and down
and up and down
827
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:22,560
but I think as long as you guys
are talking about this stuff,
828
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:24,880
you know, it sounds like
you really are starting to open up...
829
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:26,000
Yeah.
..to Lucinda.
830
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:28,360
For sure.
Keep doing that.
831
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:31,840
Well, why don't we go
to the decision?
832
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:33,520
Gosh, we all know mine.
833
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:34,680
Alright. Good, Lucinda.
834
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:39,880
It is a humbled 'stay' because,
you know, it's one week at a time.
835
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:41,880
(APPLAUSE)
836
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:45,240
And Timothy?
837
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:48,640
I've seen a different side
of Lucinda in the last two days,
838
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:50,600
you know.
839
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:52,880
She's definitely got my respect,
100%.
840
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:55,120
So...
841
00:42:57,360 --> 00:42:58,800
Yeah, I put an exclamation.
842
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:00,800
Brilliant.
(APPLAUSE)
843
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:02,000
Yay.
844
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:04,560
Well, respect is a very good start.
845
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:05,720
Yep.
846
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:07,240
JOHN: Alright. Back to the group.
847
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:09,360
You can do this.
You can do this, guys.
848
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:11,280
(APPLAUSE)
849
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:13,920
(EXHALES, LAUGHS)
850
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:15,920
NARRATOR: Still to come...
851
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:18,880
No, no, no, no, no.
Hang on. Hang on.
852
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:20,080
Don't come with that.
853
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:25,520
..emotions run high
when Tori and Jack get on the couch.

I didn't realise
how it would make you feel.
855

I'm just trying to be open
and honest.

If you want to go, like, go now.

makes a brutal confession.
858
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:39,000

Welcome.

Thank you.
866
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:08,040
You've had a crash course this week.
COUPLE: Yeah.
867
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:10,200
It was a great step for us
in the right direction.
868
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:15,200
How are your feelings developing?
869
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:18,320
Like, I can see them
getting stronger, for sure.
870

We're enjoying each other's company.
871
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:21,480
I think we're great.
872
00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:24,280
I'm madly attracted to him.
873
00:44:25,720 --> 00:44:27,400
What about you, Stephen?
874
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:33,800
On paper, it is perfect.
875
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:38,480
One of the challenges we did
was the qualities
876
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:40,400
and I think it was pretty much
word for word.
877
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:43,160
But are you attracted to him?
878
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:44,920
Um...
879
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:49,560
I'm...
880
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:54,880
Definitely can see
that he's a great-looking guy.
881
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:55,960
Thank you.
I'm...
882
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:58,120
But are you physically attracted
to Michael?

No.
887
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:16,840
Are you noticing it building?
888
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:20,560
The physical side of things,
probably not so much still.
889
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:26,280
I think that typically Michael's
a little bit more feminine
890
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:27,600
than what I am drawn to.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
892

How does this sit for you, Michael,
893
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:40,120
hearing that the physical attraction
is not there yet?
894
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:42,000
I mean...
895
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:45,920
I mean, it feels shit.
896
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:53,280
It is hard to hear
that I'm not desirable right away.
897
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:58,120
I definitely want it to be there,
for sure.
898
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:02,200
But I thought
we were making progress.
899

Like, I've given it my all

but I feel like I've been
kind of actually misled now.
901
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:13,440
Stephen, are you confident that the
attraction will build with Michael?
902
00:46:14,720 --> 00:46:15,840
Uh...
903
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:18,240
I can't confidently say.
904
00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:22,960
I've never been in this position
and I can't...

I can't confidently answer that.

Mmm. OK.
907
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:33,160
I'm just gonna kind of reassess it
and not give it that deadline.
908
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:37,000
Michael, are you willing to wait?
909
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:41,400
For this guy, yes. I am.
910
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:45,880
Are you hopeful that that physical
attraction is going to get there?
911
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:48,760
I do have hope, yeah.
I am definitely hopeful for it.
912
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:55,400
Alright. Let's go to the decision.
We'll start with Michael.
913
00:46:55,480 --> 00:47:01,200
Yeah, we're definitely still
growing, so I wrote 'stay'.

Stephen?
916

I'm just gonna see if it does
progress naturally.
917
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:16,880
I am hopeful.
918
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:18,320
So I wrote 'stay'.
919
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:20,520
(APPLAUSE)
Yay.
920
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:22,920
Good stuff.
921
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:26,120
I think it's important for you
to acknowledge, Stephen,
922
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:29,920
that Michael really is giving you
what you need at this point.
923
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:32,440
Yeah, I feel like I hold
all of the chips at the moment.
924
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:35,000
Right,
so there's real compromise here.
925
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:37,240
You know, it really is important,
Stephen,
926
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:39,360
that you don't get too comfortable
and sit back and go,
927
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:42,480
"Well, I'm getting everything I need
right now, so I'm just gonna cruise."
928
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:45,160
Yep.
Otherwise you'll just be mates.

Yeah, 100%.

935
00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:58,160
Just kind of upsetting
936
00:47:58,240 --> 00:48:01,160
when he was asked if he had
any sexual attraction towards me
937
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:03,400
and he just blankly said no.
938
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:05,840
It did hit at my heart a little bit.
939
00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:09,480
Like, it makes me question
and self-doubt myself.
940
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:12,720
You're stuck with me
for one more week.

Mmm.

We can get that spark going.
943
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:19,120
If he doesn't want to be
forward with me,
944
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:20,920
then it's gonna leave me
a little bit heartbroken
945
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:23,560
because I did come here for love
and I stick to that.

about the 'muzzle' comment

but Johnno continued to apologise
955
00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:06,240
and we decided that we're going to
put it in the past.

I'm going to accept the apology
at face value and leave it there.
957

So, you accepted the apology,
958
00:49:12,040 --> 00:49:14,000

in the sand...

with a lot of the other conversations
we've had tonight

What have you got for us, Johnno?
1028
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:14,280
Yeah, the last three days have
actually been nicer and I see hope.
1029
00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:16,360
Like, yeah. So I wrote 'stay'.
1030
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:18,880
(APPLAUSE)
Good stuff.
1031
00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:21,680
And you, Lauren?
1032
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:29,520
Well, I'm willing to give this
a proper shot
1033
00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:30,920
and so I've written stay.
1034
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:32,160
Good. Good work.
(LAUGHS)
1035
00:53:32,240 --> 00:53:33,840
(APPLAUSE)
Pleased to hear it.
1036
00:53:33,920 --> 00:53:36,880
Well, it's time
for those deep conversations, guys.
1037
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:38,520
Yep.
Yeah.
1038
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:39,560
OK.
1039
00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:40,600
Thanks, guys.
Thanks.

Sara and Tim.

1043
00:53:56,800 --> 00:53:58,680
Hello, hello.
Hello.
1044
00:53:58,720 --> 00:53:59,760
Hey.
1045
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:04,760
How are you guys doing?
1046
00:54:04,840 --> 00:54:07,360
Do you want to go? Sure.
Pretty good.
1047
00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:10,520
Yeah, pretty good.
We've had another really good week.
1048
00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:17,080
Um... Yeah.
1049
00:54:17,120 --> 00:54:20,760
(LAUGHTER)
1050
00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:23,680
It would be great if you could go
into more detail, Tim.
1051
00:54:23,720 --> 00:54:25,080
Here we go.
1052
00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:28,440
We're in the best place
that we've been, I feel like.
1053
00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:31,280
Definitely the best place we've been
in the whole experiment.
1054
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:35,960
What are your main concerns
at this moment?
1055
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:44,040
I think my main concern
is that I might be too much for Tim.
1056
00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:46,960
I am a big personality
1057
00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:50,200
and I've always wanted someone
that's gonna match my energy
1058
00:54:50,240 --> 00:54:51,400
in that sense
1059
00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:55,040
and, yeah, I think it's hard
1060
00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:58,000
because Tim has shown me
a confident side to him
1061
00:54:58,080 --> 00:55:02,080
but he's not necessarily
as big as a personality as I am.
1062
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:06,840
I wonder, Sara, for you,
1063
00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:11,080
is it you feeling that you might be
too much for Tim
1064
00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:13,640
or is Tim perhaps not enough for you?
1065
00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:22,400
I think in the past I have always
felt like I am too much for people.
1066
00:55:24,840 --> 00:55:31,160
Like, I have had, like,
I guess, instances in the past
1067
00:55:31,240 --> 00:55:35,920
where, like, I have been too big
of a personality for people, so...
1068
00:55:38,280 --> 00:55:42,000
Complete transformation in your face.
It made you emotional. Why is that?
1069
00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:49,640
(PENSIVE MUSIC)
1070
00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:54,160
Sorry. (CRIES)
1071
00:55:55,600 --> 00:55:58,640
Because I know that I have things
to work on, for sure I do.
1072
00:55:58,680 --> 00:56:01,960
But, like, I am who I am.
1073
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:03,520
I'm always gonna be opinionated.
1074
00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:06,640
I might be one of the loudest
in the room
1075
00:56:06,720 --> 00:56:11,040
and sometimes that is a lot
for some people, so...
1076
00:56:14,040 --> 00:56:19,360
How does that make you feel, Tim,
to hear Sara saying this?
1077
00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:22,240
I don't want her to feel like
she's too much for me.
1078
00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:26,240
That's my type. (LAUGHS)
1079
00:56:26,320 --> 00:56:28,960
So it's like an opposites-attract
situation, you know.
1080
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:30,600
Like, a Yin-Yang sort of vibe.
1081
00:56:30,680 --> 00:56:35,920
I think Sara's shown me
pretty much every day, like,
1082
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:38,960
that my voice matters
and my opinion matters,
1083
00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:42,560
you know, and that she's listening
to me, so...yeah.
1084
00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:45,720
JOHN: Let's get to the decision.
Stay or leave?
1085
00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:48,920
We're gonna go with you first, Tim.
1086
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:51,480
Best week. Stay.
OK.
1087
00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:54,440
(APPLAUSE)
1088
00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:56,680
And what about you, Sara?
1089
00:56:56,720 --> 00:56:57,920
I...
1090
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:00,160
Yeah, I've had a really good week
with Tim
1091
00:57:00,240 --> 00:57:02,480
and I'm really positive
about the way things are going,
1092
00:57:02,520 --> 00:57:03,680
so I wrote 'stay'.
1093
00:57:03,720 --> 00:57:05,000
Good. Stay.
1094
00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:07,560
(APPLAUSE)
1095
00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:10,720
OK, guys.
You know what you've gotta do.
1096
00:57:10,800 --> 00:57:12,960
Roll the sleeves up
and get it done this week.
1097
00:57:13,040 --> 00:57:14,080
Thank you.
Away you go.

Our last couple on the couch tonight,
Tori and Jack.
1100
00:57:23,160 --> 00:57:25,600
(APPLAUSE)
Alright.
1101
00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:28,000
Wow.
MEL: That's eager.
1102
00:57:28,040 --> 00:57:29,080
Sprinted up.
1103
00:57:29,160 --> 00:57:31,200
'Cause he wanted to sit
where I usually sit.
1104
00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:33,520
(LAUGHS, EXHALES)
It's real childish.
1105
00:57:35,120 --> 00:57:36,400
I don't like this side.
1106
00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:39,080
(LAUGHS) Just try it.
1107
00:57:39,160 --> 00:57:42,800
Big week for you two last week.
Mmm.
1108
00:57:42,880 --> 00:57:46,280
Probably the longest week
in the experiment, I feel.
1109
00:57:46,320 --> 00:57:49,200
A lot of chat, a lot of discussion.
1110
00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:52,320
I think we came out of it
pretty good.
1111
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:58,280
So, going into last night's dinner
party, how did you feel about things?
1112
00:57:58,360 --> 00:58:02,320
I just wanted to really, like,
just coast along last night.
1113
00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:06,280
Mmm.
Just continue laying low.
1114
00:58:08,240 --> 00:58:11,400
What I saw was the two of you
getting fired up.
1115
00:58:14,120 --> 00:58:16,920
And, Tori, I haven't seen you
that fired up before.
1116
00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:25,880
Out of this experiment, it takes
a lot to get me to a point of anger
1117
00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:27,400
that I was at last night.
1118
00:58:29,720 --> 00:58:32,520
But Timothy obviously does
a pretty good job
1119
00:58:32,560 --> 00:58:35,360
at getting me to a certain point
1120
00:58:35,400 --> 00:58:38,960
and I really did blow up.
1121
00:58:39,040 --> 00:58:40,560
Oh, yeah, we saw it.
Mm-hm.
1122
00:58:40,640 --> 00:58:45,960
And I think everything is so intense
in here
1123
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:48,680
that it took a minute time
1124
00:58:48,760 --> 00:58:52,840
to get me to a level
where I was, like, feral.
1125
00:58:54,640 --> 00:58:55,920
What was that trigger?
1126
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:57,880
Timothy was sitting
at the end of the table
1127
00:58:57,920 --> 00:58:59,320
with this smug look on his face.
1128
00:58:59,360 --> 00:59:01,160
It's the only one I've got.
1129
00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:03,240
And I don't like smug.
1130
00:59:03,320 --> 00:59:05,800
What so difficult
about someone being smug?
1131
00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:09,480
Smug is sneaky
and sneaky's disingenuous
1132
00:59:09,560 --> 00:59:11,360
and I don't like
disingenuous people.
1133
00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:16,640
He'd said a few things to Jayden
that I didn't like,
1134
00:59:16,720 --> 00:59:22,200
so I was just in a state of, like,
"Nup, you're done, mate."
1135
00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:24,600
Can I just ask you,
1136
00:59:24,680 --> 00:59:27,800
what did he say about Jayden
that really got under your skin?
1137
00:59:29,840 --> 00:59:32,440
He said to Jayden
that "you are nothing".

For me, the comment was low
1142
00:59:42,760 --> 00:59:46,920
and it hit a nerve with me
and I didn't like it.
1143

That comment there
is just as destructive
1144
00:59:50,840 --> 00:59:53,320
as the comment Jack made last week.
1145
00:59:54,400 --> 00:59:57,080

No, no, no, no, no.

I've got a problem with that.
1161
01:00:51,400 --> 01:00:56,920
How was the comment about not having
anything or being a nothing
1162
01:00:57,000 --> 01:00:59,640
the same as the 'muzzle your woman'
comment?

it's just as destructive.

That's hurtful.
To me, that's hurtful.

That would cut me deep.
1166
01:01:10,840 --> 01:01:16,160
Why did the comment
about him being a nothing

get you more fired up and feral,
in your words,
1168
01:01:19,960 --> 01:01:25,160
compared to what was said by Jack
regarding the muzzle?
1169
01:01:26,440 --> 01:01:29,400
I was angry at that comment.
I was disappointed in Jack.
1170
01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:35,880
And I think anger and disappointment
are two very different things.

When you look at the reaction
of the group when they hear that,
1172
01:01:43,840 --> 01:01:47,720
I mean, there are women in this group
that are, like, rolling their eyes.
1173
01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:53,240
And they're not doing that
just for fun.

the first time she's seen me be me.
1194
01:02:57,920 --> 01:03:01,920
It's just, like, really kind of
highlighted to me
1195
01:03:01,960 --> 01:03:03,560
that I'm so exposed right now.
1196
01:03:03,600 --> 01:03:06,760
No-one gets this side of me
1197
01:03:06,840 --> 01:03:11,160
and I feel like I'm probably
only gonna do it once
1198
01:03:11,200 --> 01:03:14,320
and if it gets damaged or questioned
1199
01:03:14,400 --> 01:03:20,880
or...mmm, anything like that,
I'll probably close myself off.
1200
01:03:22,920 --> 01:03:24,480
Right.
1201
01:03:24,560 --> 01:03:26,720
What you're saying
is the gravity of this
1202
01:03:26,800 --> 01:03:30,360
is that now that you're exposed
and out there,
1203
01:03:30,400 --> 01:03:32,880
if he doesn't reciprocate this...
1204
01:03:32,920 --> 01:03:34,600
I'll just close up.
1205
01:03:34,680 --> 01:03:36,160
..if he doesn't come back to you...
Yeah.
1206
01:03:36,200 --> 01:03:37,240
..you'll close up for good?
1207
01:03:40,320 --> 01:03:42,920
We've never heard you talk like this
on the couch before.
1208
01:03:42,960 --> 01:03:44,240
MEL: Mmm.
1209
01:03:45,440 --> 01:03:48,480
So, Jack, how does that sit with you?
1210
01:03:48,520 --> 01:03:49,800
Um...
1211
01:03:49,840 --> 01:03:51,760
I don't know.
1212
01:03:53,800 --> 01:03:56,240
I'm getting, like, nervous
in our relationship.
1213
01:03:58,240 --> 01:04:00,560
It's getting, like, really serious
1214
01:04:00,640 --> 01:04:04,880
and I can see Tori's opening up
to me...
1215
01:04:07,120 --> 01:04:09,000
letting her guard down a lot.
1216
01:04:09,080 --> 01:04:13,840
I'm feel like we're starting
to develop serious feelings.
1217
01:04:17,840 --> 01:04:21,040
And I do have concerns
that I'm gonna let you down.
1218
01:04:25,040 --> 01:04:30,640
I'm 34 and single, so, you know,
I've let people down before.
1219
01:04:34,240 --> 01:04:35,440
You're married.
You're married.
1220
01:04:38,600 --> 01:04:43,840
I feel like her affection
is probably surpassing mine.
1221
01:04:45,800 --> 01:04:47,680
Well, let me put you on the spot,
then.
1222
01:04:47,720 --> 01:04:52,480
Is this a case where Tori is into you
1223
01:04:52,520 --> 01:04:54,680
a lot more than you're into Tori?
1224
01:04:54,720 --> 01:04:57,720

Um...
1226
01:05:16,640 --> 01:05:23,240
Is this a case where Tori is into you
a lot more than you're into Tori?
1227
01:05:26,360 --> 01:05:28,200

(TENSE MUSIC)
1229
01:05:36,120 --> 01:05:37,560
Maybe... Maybe a little bit.
1230
01:05:41,560 --> 01:05:42,920
(WHISPERS) Tori doesn't like that.
1231
01:05:45,480 --> 01:05:47,360
Now it's started
putting this pressure on me.
1232
01:05:50,240 --> 01:05:54,440
So, rather than feel excited
and happy...
1233
01:05:54,480 --> 01:05:55,600
Mmm.
1234
01:05:55,680 --> 01:05:59,160
..and hopeful, you're actually saying
you feel very nervous.
1235
01:06:00,360 --> 01:06:04,800
And you've even said to her,
"I'm scared I'm gonna let you down."
1236
01:06:04,840 --> 01:06:06,560
Yeah.
1237
01:06:06,600 --> 01:06:09,040
Frankly, that worries me.
1238
01:06:10,320 --> 01:06:16,320
Because when people say things
to their partners like that...
1239
01:06:18,880 --> 01:06:24,640
they're almost creating a blueprint -
I AM gonna disappoint you.
1240
01:06:27,960 --> 01:06:31,680
'Cause you're pre-empting
that this is gonna fail
1241
01:06:31,760 --> 01:06:34,680
and that's what I think
we're worried about.
1242
01:06:34,760 --> 01:06:37,720
We've never heard you talk that way
before.
1243
01:06:37,760 --> 01:06:40,680
Yeah. Well, what if Tori left me?
1244
01:06:40,720 --> 01:06:42,680
LAUREN: She's not leaving you.
1245
01:06:46,760 --> 01:06:48,600
She's not telling you that.
She's telling you the opposite.
1246
01:06:50,560 --> 01:06:53,680
I think you know
I'm not going anywhere.
1247
01:06:53,720 --> 01:06:55,560
Do you think I'm going anywhere?
1248
01:06:55,640 --> 01:06:57,800
(LAUGHS)
Well, I didn't.
1249
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:01,560
But now that you've made
that comment,
1250
01:07:01,640 --> 01:07:04,680
I'm, like,
if you want to go, like, go now.
1251
01:07:09,400 --> 01:07:12,520
You've planted the seed of doubt.
LAUREN: Yeah. Totally.
1252
01:07:15,680 --> 01:07:16,960
That's a problem.
1253
01:07:18,640 --> 01:07:21,400
I didn't realise
how it would make you feel.
1254
01:07:23,320 --> 01:07:25,800
But, like, I'm just trying to be
open and honest.
1255
01:07:28,080 --> 01:07:32,680
This is the first time we've actually
really heard the two of you open up.
1256
01:07:32,720 --> 01:07:35,360
And, Jack, you're prepared to admit
1257
01:07:35,440 --> 01:07:39,560
that you think Tori may be
more into you than you're into her.
1258
01:07:41,200 --> 01:07:43,320
That's a very big thing to say.
1259
01:07:46,480 --> 01:07:48,320
There's a lot at stake for her.
1260
01:07:50,480 --> 01:07:51,760
Yeah.
1261
01:07:52,960 --> 01:07:58,160
And you need to know I have
very serious feelings towards you.
1262
01:07:58,200 --> 01:07:59,320
That's why I'm nervous.
1263
01:07:59,360 --> 01:08:03,280
And I have a lot at stake as well.
1264
01:08:03,360 --> 01:08:04,960
And I wouldn't waste your time...
Mmm.
1265
01:08:05,040 --> 01:08:06,840
..as I don't want you
to waste my time.
1266
01:08:06,920 --> 01:08:09,240
Mmm.
Yeah, and I'm on the same page.
1267
01:08:09,320 --> 01:08:11,720
Yeah, definitely
don't waste my time...
1268
01:08:11,760 --> 01:08:12,760
Yeah.
1269
01:08:12,840 --> 01:08:15,720
..'cause that would really
(BLEEP) me off.

Keep that in mind.
1271
01:08:22,360 --> 01:08:26,000
We're going to the decision.
Stay or leave?
1272

Tori.
1273

to you two.

to be here

weighing on this

or whether it was someone else,
