Original subtitles

I've gotta do a lot to fix it,

and I'm so deeply sorry.

Once again, Sara faced another round of hard questions...

Are the messages to your ex still on your phone,

and if they are, can Tim see them?

And if they aren't, why aren't they?

..as she continued to try and win back Tim's trust.

You're very understanding.

TIM: If we keep doing days like today,

where she's just warm and nice to me,

then I think things will go in a good direction.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC BUILDS)

ANDREA: It was a whole other way to connect

and bring back some really beautiful memories.

From the highest of highs...

RICHARD: It just reminded us both, I think, of what's important.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

..to the lowest of lows.

But I... I'm telling you what I'm feeling...

Andie... ..and that is what I'm feeling...

Andie? ..and that is OK!

Andrea and Richard's relationship took yet another major setback.

Why do you have your wall up, Andie?

'Cause you're not into me. Why can't you just admit that?

Feedback Week continued to give fresh perspectives

on each other's relationships.

Jack was saying that you guys are both done, checked out.

Jack's saying that is...

Bullshit.

..as Lucinda and Timothy delivered a cheeky note to Tori and Jack.

TORI: "This is the Bullshit Investigators..."

..who failed to see the funny side.

This letter's put me right to the edge of, like,

I'm gonna go postal.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Tonight...

TORI: Tim's there with his smug little face.

TIMOTHY: Jack and Tori are so mad right now.

I love it.

It's a no-bull kind of dinner party...

JACK: It's just poor form.

(LAUGHS)

TIMOTHY: They absolutely know that we wrote the letter.

LUCINDA: There's a couple of us that are out for blood tonight.

..where Lucinda and Timothy...

(GLASS CHIMES) Oh!

Here we go! ..fess up to that letter.

Stop! Stop! Stop! Why are you looking over here?

WOMAN: Shut up. Boom.

Listen and just try, please!

(SOMBRE PIANO MUSIC)

Is this the tragic end...

RICHARD: I feel very depleted. I feel very sad.

..for one of the experiment's golden couples?

I just can't understand how we've got to this low point.

..before...

(ALL EXCLAIM AND CHEER)

Oh!

..the kiss that will leave everyone speechless...

I looked over and they were making out. I was, like, "Oh, my god!"

..as the experiment's slow burn turns to a flame.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC BUILDS)

The Final Vows ceremonies are fast approaching,

and with our couples just weeks away

from deciding whether or not to continue their relationship

beyond the experiment,

one couple who are feeling confident about their future

is Eden and Jayden,

as they get ready for tonight's dinner party.

I'm ready for this dinner party. I've got my yoghurt, got my girl.

Yoghurt! And we're ready to go.

You got your what? My yoghurt.

(UPLIFTING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Jayden and I are really good.

This week's been really fun.

What is going on here? I just...came to get my hair done.

We're always having fun and just being silly.

Feedback Week was nice for us.

Jayden and I are united.

We'll just walk in skipping, arm in arm.

(LAUGHS) Ready?

Thanks. Stunning!

(HOPEFUL INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Hey, gorgeous. Looking good! Hello.

Love the green. Thank you.

Another couple excited for tonight's dinner party

are Jade and Ridge,

who are going from strength to strength.

Feedback Week - like, we've had a really good week.

Probably one of the better weeks we've had

since we've been in this experiment.

(LAUGHS) No, I...

I think a lot of Jade.

I think she's so gorgeous. She's such a beautiful human.

How are you feeling about having Feedback Week the past few days?

Honestly, I say every day, like,

the more time I spend with you, the more I like you.

Mmm.

Feeling good, looking good.

Me and Jade, we're really strong.

With Feedback Week benefitting some of our couples,

one groom has been flying solo this week

and will be attending tonight's dinner party without his wife.

JONATHAN: Walking in by myself will be weird.

I didn't think I'd be one of the people to be doing that,

but it's under different circumstances.

Lauren had her surgery yesterday, and it went really well.

Her and I are, you know, we're doing really good.

We've been texting and calling every day and keeping in touch.

Yeah, it's been really quiet without Lauren around.

I just miss the fun.

She's obviously a big personality and has a lot of energy.

So, yeah, I am missing that.

(HOPEFUL MUSIC CONTINUES)

Distance makes the heart fonder, for sure,

but looking forward to seeing everyone.

(HOPEFUL MUSIC FADES)

While Johnno is excited to see the ground,

a reluctant Sara is more apprehensive.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Having spent Feedback Week facing more scrutiny...

Are the messages to your ex still on your phone?

EDEN: Have you deleted them? That's his question.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Yep.

..Sara made a declaration to Tim that she wants to regain his trust.

I stayed because I wanted to work on this relationship with you,

and I'm trying to make it up to you.

I haven't even had a chance to.

My priority is making it up to him,

because I want us to be a partnership again.

Tonight Sara prepares to face the group for the first time

since her act of betrayal was revealed.

SARA: I feel really anxious about the dinner party,

but I need to show Tim that I want to work on this relationship

and that I'm gonna fight for him.

Everything that we've gone through, the past week,

has showed me how much I really like him.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

At the last dinner party,

I have a lot of regret over the way that I dealt with the situation,

but since then, I've obviously been trying to work on showing Tim

that he can trust me.

I don't want to lose Tim.

So, I just have to do everything that I can to show him that.

Nice dress! Hello!

How are you? Doing good! How you doing?

Um... (SIGHS)

Yeah, look, it's not the most exciting dinner party

that I want to go to,

but I want to go into this with you,

and to, like...show you that I'm here for you

and I want you to trust me again,

and I'm not going to stop showing you that I care

and that I want to be here.

You know that. Yeah, I know.

I appreciate you this week, and being open.

So, thank you.

Yeah. You're welcome.

Look, Sara's really hurt me,

but, like, she has been trying to make it up to me.

She's putting in a lot of effort to make me feel secure and safe,

and I appreciate that.

If someone's gonna ask if I've forgiven Sara,

it's a pretty easy answer for me to say no, not yet,

but we're making steps in the right direction.

I've given you the opportunity

to...try and move things forward and make it up to me.

Mmm. Show me that you're sorry.

And that's all that, really, should matter.

Yeah.

Even though we have had a really good week,

I still worry about group situations.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

It's important for me to stand by Tim's side,

but I know some people in the group are still, like, very upset with me.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

EDEN: Tonight everyone is feeling for Tim,

and is kind of not happy with Sara.

Yeah.

The whole Sara and Tim thing - everyone knows I'm on Tim's side.

I do not approve of her behaviour. It's disgusting.

It's unforgivable, and it's unacceptable.

There's no place for cheating in this experiment.

I think it's very obvious to everyone now.

I think no-one's really falling for it anymore.

They're just cruising out this experiment.

Once a cheater, always a cheat.

There's no coming back from things like this.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Down the corridor,

Lucinda and Timothy are celebrating a change of season

with their relationship.

I feel like spring, you know?

Spring is upon...spring rolling into summer, like, whatever it is.

I just feel like, "Yes!" Like, let's go.

(UPLIFTING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

We've been having a grande old time, Tim and I.

We've been having a blast.

Going wild, and the mishaps.

After Ridge dropped a bomb during a Feedback Week task...

Jack was saying that you guys are both done.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Checked out.

Jack saying that is (BLEEP) laughable.

Lucinda and Timothy took it upon themselves

to complete a top secret mission.

The investigation police... have flagged you

as, uh, bullshitters.

JACK: What do we got? TORI: A letter.

This has actually made me angry.

It's pissed me off! Oh.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

So, we're not gonna admit to that, basically, tonight?

We're not admitting to the letter?

I do wanna fess up.

Oh, what are we gonna say? Let's get on the same page.

It was us! (LAUGHS)

(LAUGHS) Just have it out?

Tonight, I'll definitely own the letter.

(LAUGHTER)

I'll own everything.

I call everyone dickheads behind their back and to their face.

The last part of the letter was a challenge,

and the challenge was to do a three-way call between Tori...

So, we wanna know the goss! ..the girl in the thing...

Alright, alright, let's just find out

if they had the three-way conversation.

You know, Jack's gonna use his typical, you know,

try and slip his way out of it.

You know, he's got enough bronzer on

to frigging slide out of any situation, doesn't he?

TORI: I'm ready for a battle.

I mean...bring it.

It wouldn't be a dinner party for Jack and Tori if we didn't.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Yep.

That letter's just another one, and it's just another crock of shit

of someone's stupid opinion.

Tori and I got a letter.

We don't know who it's from,

but it was from the Bullshit Investigators.

I thought it was quite rude.

It set me a task to call up my ex,

that's had a few things to say in the media.

Yeah, I thought that was a low blow.

That letter really riled me up. It did.

Like, put some identity behind the (BLEEP) letter!

(LAUGHTER)

It's, like...gutless.

People just love to poke us. (LAUGHS)

I know. It's getting really (BLEEP) old.

You're Wiggles and I'm Spring.

Yes, I am the...what Wiggle? What is the Purple Wiggle?

(LAUGHS)

JACK: Aren't they getting sick of it?

Aren't they bored?

Is their relationship that boring

that they just wanna keep talking about ours?

(LAUGHTER)

Alright, you ready to roll? Yep.

Let's do it.

We do feel good, going into the dinner party tonight.

We've kind of gone in ready to defend ourselves

and battle our position.

People wanna go her, wanna go me,

they're taking both of us on, and that's how we'll go in tonight.

(LAUGHTER)

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC BUILDS)

As our couples complete their final touches...

Let's go to the dinner party, honey! (LAUGHS)

..and are well on their way to the dinner party...

(LAUGHTER)

(SILENCE)

..Andrea and Richard haven't even started to get ready,

running late because of an argument.

RICHARD: No... (INDISTINCT)

ANDREA: Don't say no!

Not answering my question...

I am allowed to have my opinion! You're not answering my question.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

Following their vow renewals,

Andrea and Richard started Feedback Week hopeful.

Symbolically, it's a really great thing.

Go back to day one and relive the whole thing and make it a reset.

To us. (MOMENTOUS MUSIC SWELLS)

However, unexpected feedback throughout the week

sent the once golden couple spiralling.

I can't communicate with you if you just get this, like...

Yep. ..abrupt...

Andrea, that's not true.

You've told me at certain times, oh, what a nice, great guy I am,

and then the next minute, you bring stuff up that happened before that.

It's, like, I can't get ahead.

I can't get on the front foot here.

(SOMBRE MUSIC)

And so I'm wondering what your real, like, intention is here -

if you have an intention with me at all.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Following their previous argument,

Andrea now feels able to articulate herself

and is trying to communicate with Richard where he went wrong.

Now, I'm gonna have a turn, if you can listen for seven minutes.

Wow.

I was coming here today to explain some things to you

to try and help you understand where I was.

OK.

There's not one thing I can tell you

as to why I'm not as open and into it as I used to be,

but there are a lot of things that you've been doing

that make me go like that.

A lot of things?

Yeah. Mmm.

OK. What are those things that I've been doing?

OK.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Your broad statements are what upset me the most.

The statement from you regarding our intimacy at the Commitment Ceremony.

The statement from you

regarding the night I was on the phone to my family.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)

And then the statement from you, regarding,

"I don't think you're attractive as the other girls."

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

Are you understanding,

or are you just getting defensive and mad at me?

No, no, I'm...I'm hearing what you're saying.

Yeah.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

And it only gets into...

..always gets into very specific little incidents

with things that happened

and goes through the details of that,

but the issue is...what happened?

You know, we... we were into each other.

We fell...you fell out of me. Why did that happen?

That's the issue here,

and I've never really got to the heart of that.

That's really not the issue here.

That is just so not the issue. These are things I...

You can't tell me what my issues are, OK?

I'm telling you and you're not hearing me...

I am hearing you, Andie.

..that it's things like this... Andie.

..that make me...don't be so rude!

I don't want to get into those sort of details, Andie.

Because you're not... 'cause you don't want to hear me.

You don't want to hear my side. No.

That's the story of our relationship. It's all on me!

Let's be honest about this.

You're not into me, OK? No, I'm not right now!

You've never been into me, except for the beginning, OK?

I want to be wanted. I want to be desired.

I want to be loved

in the way that we did when we started this thing off.

Do you know how hurt you've made me?

And I've been doing everything that I've been asked to do

to make you like me and turn that like into feelings,

because you've got a wall up,

and I feel...just like shit, man!

I feel worthless.

I feel unwanted, I feel unappreciated, I feel undesired,

and I have held a flag for you and said, "You are awesome.

"I adore you. This is what I'm about."

And you've known that, Andie.

I haven't hidden that.

I haven't hidden that,

and you've used that, and you've played that to your advantage.

I have not played that...

You have played that, because you know you've got me!

And you've stuffed me around!

And you ruined what we had, Andie.

We had a beautiful thing going,

and you can't even tell me why you did it.

Richie, you just keep choosing not to listen.

I understand you're frustrated.

And your body language now -

it's sighing and puffing and looking away -

isn't giving me a chance to speak, and have my say and feel heard.

I feel like...

My body language is sighing and puffing?

You're gaslighting me, Andie. I'm just sitting here listening to you.

You just did it! Yeah.

So don't tell me I'm gaslighting again! You're driving me crazy!

My body language is not sighing and puffing.

Instead of, like, answering, Richie...

Andie, Andie... Stop!

Andie, listen... Instead of...

No, you've had your seven minutes, my friend...

No, I haven't had seven minutes...

You've had your seven minutes, my friend, OK?

That is not the issue.

The issue is you're not into me.

The issue is you are blaming me for stuff...

I'm not into you more than I've ever not been into you right now.

You are blaming me for stuff

that you've had from your traumas and your past relationships.

I'm not that guy. You won't own that.

You're worse!

I'm worse?

Right now, you're worse. I'm worse.

That's not acceptable, Andie. OK.

No, that's not acceptable. OK.

End of conversation for me, OK? OK. OK.

I'm worse than him - fine.

Good luck to you, Andie.

I hope you find the man that you want, OK?

Thank you.

It ain't gonna be me! I know that.

Let's try and go into the dinner party, be civil and be nice, OK?

I will happily be civil with you, Richie...

Thank you. Thank you.

..because...

That's it.

(SOMBRE MUSIC)

(EXHALES)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

So, here we are - dinner party number six.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Of course, we've just had Feedback Week.

This is a week that can really shake our couples up.

You know, even the smallest piece of feedback,

at this stage in the experiment,

can be enough to really unsettle some couples.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

We're gonna fess up to the letter? Totally!

I feel like Tori and Jack will be really, really cross.

(SILENCE)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

ALESSANDRA: Coming from their peers,

who actually really know them very well -

know much more about the ins and outs

and the every day kind of dynamics that they're going through.

I think it's gonna be interesting to see how they take that feedback in.

EDEN: I wonder how Tim is going.

I mean, we all haven't seen him in...since the catch-up that we had.

I wonder if Tim's gone back to her.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)

I'm very curious to see what the outcome of this entire week has been

for all of our couples.

JOHN: Who've we got?

Whoa, everyone! What's good? How are we?

Jade and Ridge. Hey!

(LAUGHS) Looking good!

Hey, gorgeous! What's good?

MEL: Isn't this great, to see them having fun together?

Oh, goodness, it's hot, like you. (CHUCKLES)

Thanks, babe.

They have been very much a couple and very much together,

very much into one another since the beginning.

It's lovely to watch.

Hi! Yo!

Hello!

Howdy, howdy.

MEL: Jayden and Eden. JOHN: Wow!

They really have been strong, you know,

over the last number of weeks, haven't they?

Yeah. The commitment ceremonies.

In front of the group, very much a team.

What's happening? You good? Good to see you, good to see you.

Howdy, howdy. Hey. How are you?

Good to see you. You too.

Very together. Beautiful entrance. Yes.

JADE: How are you, guys?

Good!

RIDGE: What's cracking? JAYDEN: There's a lot going on.

(LAUGHS) I don't know if you guys heard,

but Tori and Jack got an anonymous letter.

A Feedback Week letter.

I walked past her and she showed me,

and it said, "Bullshit alert - we call bullshit on you."

100%, 100%!

I don't know.

Do you know what I mean?

BOTH: Mmm.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

LUCINDA: Do you reckon Jack and Tori suspect

that we did the bullshit letter?

TIMOTHY: Oh, nah!

I'm really looking forward to this conversation.

I'm feeling fired up.

Can we please stop over and get some, um, boxing gloves?

This is gonna be...

Is there a boxing...store somewhere in town?

..totally awesome!

(IMPACT BOOMS)

So, Tori is fuming about the letter.

It's kind of true, though.

Why? Yeah, she is she fuming about the letter?

RIDGE: Oh, 100%.

Jade apparently asked at their, like, one on one,

"If you were more attracted to your partner,

"would you have slept with them by now?"

And he said yes, straight away.

Oh, wow.

ALESSANDRA: That's not what he's telling us on the couch.

So, the attraction obviously isn't there.

Yeah, big time.

Like, you thought it would have happened by now.

100%, 100%!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

(ALL CHEER AND CALL GREETINGS)

What's happening?

MEL: Oh, Lucinda and Tim.

ALESSANDRA: They're holding hands, you guys!

I love to see this progress! Pretty cool to see this.

(LAUGHS) What's happening?

(LAUGHTER)

They were very strong last week in terms of having turned a page.

They're really having connected.

Thanks, honey.

It's a different dynamic between them.

It is. They're like a real team.

(SNEEZES) Oh, bless you, gorgeous.

Thank you. Spring has sprung. It's the blossoms.

Yeah. Sorry. I must be allergic.

(LAUGHS) I must be allergic to myself.

You have a tree on you right now. (LAUGHS)

Lucinda and Timothy -

they're laughing and giggling and having, like, a really good time.

They have grown so close over the last few weeks.

Like, leaps and bounds from where they were a few weeks ago.

It is so cute.

(GENTLE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

(ALL CHEER AND CALL GREETINGS)

Come in! Jonno!

There he is. Oh, here's Jonno.

You look good. Nice shirt! Thank you.

It's weird walking in by yourself.

As we know, Lauren's had to have surgery.

Yes.

She's OK, but still, it's gotta be difficult for Jonno,

coming in on his own.

Hey! How are you?

You're wifeless. I know.

Aww! Hi, gorgeous!

JONATHAN: It was unusual, walking in by myself.

How you doing, legend? Good to see you.

Lauren is definitely gonna be missed at the dinner party tonight.

Thank you. You too. Good to see you.

She will probably not sleep tonight, wondering what's happened.

How's she going? Talk to her?

Yeah, yeah, I talked to her, like, all day, every day.

I'm looking forward to updating her.

I'm sure she's on the edge of her seat, waiting to hear about it.

(GENTLE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

EDEN: Tori and Jack got an anonymous letter.

(LUCINDA GASPS)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

And it had a whole list of the things

that they think are bullshit about their relationship.

I was reading them off Tori's phone,

I was like, "Bit harsh, but factual."

Was it a bit harsh?

It was pretty...pretty hectic, but I didn't disagree with anything.

So far, no-one's worked out

that we wrote the Bullshit Investigator Police letter.

You know, it's a game of Guess Who, and you know what - I'm loving it.

(LAUGHS)

Was it you?

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

I don't know anything about...

..I don't know what you're talking about.

I don't know. It was, like, an elf.

Didn't you guys put in the... in your letter, if it was you, to call the...

If...if it was, and I don't know!

..to call the ex?

That's what that random person said.

JADE: Was it you guys?

(PLAYFULLY DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Yeah. EDEN: Was it you?

(LAUGHTER)

Hey, guys. Can we just ask you a favour?

Don't say anything in the cocktail party about the letter.

We're all gonna play dumb... Wanna wait till we get out there?

Wait till we get to the dinner party.

Let's do it in there. Is that OK?

That's fine. Just try and divert it till...

About your letter, or that random person...

That random person's letter. That random person's message, OK.

(LAUGHS) That random person's letter.

That random person who wrote the letter that was not you?

It's like a murder mystery, you know?

(LAUGHTER)

So, Jack and Tori's mystery letter from anonymous

came from Timothy and Lucinda.

Apparently Tori had steam coming out of her ears.

Oh, well. (LAUGHS)

The letter most definitely hit a nerve with Tori.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

So, she's gonna be fuming when she finds out.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

We are gonna address it tonight.

We are gonna fess up - we're gonna fess up.

But do you know what - it was no low blows, it was fact.

I'm all for it, Lu. I'm all for it. (LAUGHTER)

The anonymous letter - uh, everyone's in on.

We were feeling very cheeky that day, like Pink Panthers.

We were on the wall. Yeah, yeah.

(LAUGHTER)

I pulled my hammy doing a roll down the hallway.

Did you actually do a roll?

Yeah, I did. Oh, iconic.

(LAUGHTER)

I can't wait for it to come out.

I'm actually savouring the moment

that Jack looks at me and says, "Did you write the letter?"

(SILENCE)

Because guess what, sunshine - yes, I did.

I (BLEEP) wrote it.

And I loved writing it.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Did you like the bull shitting? Yeah.

Bullshit, bullshit.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)

(LAUGHTER)

WOMAN: Hey!

MAN: Speak of the devil! Jack's here.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Hey, guys.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

JOHN: Ohh! MEL: Jack and Tori.

That's a bit of a lukewarm reception, isn't it?

Yeah.

Almost say that was a timid entrance from the two of them.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Good to see you.

Tori's not got a smile anywhere near her face.

No.

Looking fresh. Howdy. Good, thanks.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

So, this week, Tim and I, you know, colluded

to write an anonymous letter to Tori and Jack.

We're the Bullshit Investigation Police.

There's a little bit of, you know, awky tension.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

How are you? Mwah!

That's good.

Hi, honey. Good colour on you. Thank you.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

How are you? Good. How are you?

I'm pretty good. That's good.

G'day, Jack. How are you? Hello.

We will bring it up and confess.

But let's just play the game for a little while longer,

keep them guessing.

(JAUNTY INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Let's see if we can hold off this letter bullshit for a little bit.

Until...until the dinner?

Until the dinner party, mate. Yeah.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

I'm actually surprised at myself.

I'm supposed to be all, "Om Shanti Shanti."

But I'm actually feeling a bit fiery tonight, so look out.

(LAUGHTER)

Yo!

(ALL CHEER AND CALL GREETINGS)

Oh, you all look so lovely!

ALESSANDRA: Tristan and Cassandra.

Hello! How you doing? You look stunning.

I love the blue. Oh, thank you.

How you going? Look at you.

MEL: And of course, last week at the Commitment Ceremony,

we saw that Tristan had told Cass that he loves her,

and she didn't really reciprocate.

By the looks of things, nothing has progressed from there.

Wow! It's so good to see you! I know. You too, honey.

JADE: Feedback Week, for us, was good.

Oh, how cute!

Ask them tonight.

(SOMBRE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Going in solo, I'm fully expecting people to ask me questions.

We've just had our biggest argument,

and that went worse than any conversation we've ever had.

I'm feeling very defeated and despondent.

I don't know if Andie will be there tonight,

or how she's gonna be towards me.

But I'm feeling pretty hurt, and very sad, actually.

EDEN: Who's coming next, do you think?

(SOMBRE MUSIC CONTINUES)

Oh! Richie!

Oh, no. Richie's by himself. But no Andie?

Oh, no. OK.

Hello.

TIMOTHY: Shit. Oh, he looks sad.

Babe, this is on you. Arggh!

What have you done, man?

Arggh!

MEL: Richie looks crushed. What's happened?

He looks lost.

Hi. How are you? You look good!

How are you? On your own tonight?

Is Andie in? EDEN: She's not here yet.

Yeah, yeah.

He did this. I don't know...

Ridge!

As soon as I saw Richie walk in on his own, I'm like, "I've done this."

Shall we go have a chat? Come on. Yeah, yeah.

I need to find out what I've done, what I've said,

because that's not a good sign.

How's it going with you and Andie?

'Cause obviously I had that one-on-one with her,

and then now I'm seeing you guys walk in separate.

I hope it's not me. Is it me?

(CLEARS THROAT) No, it's not you. Oh, thank god!

But it certainly triggered old conversations.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Yeah, it's communication... Yeah.

..and we're not agreeing.

And just now, we had our biggest argument.

It was...I'm not even gonna tell you what she said!

It was just...it was shocking. Mmm. OK, OK.

I'm worried about having a talk to Richie.

I...don't know what's going to be different

from the last time we talked, to be honest.

You know, it's getting personal now

and it's getting a bit, like, nasty, you know?

Yeah, just...just, um... just feeling a bit yuck.

You know, when these things are starting to be said to you...

Mm-hm?

..it's very clear to me that her past relationships,

that's what's got in the way.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

I'm, like...yeah, I'm exhausted, man.

Yeah? I'm exhausted. I'm very drained.

MAN: Heya! Andie! (CHEERING)

Ahh, here's Andie. Oh!

You look so beautiful!

There's a real flatness to her. Yeah!

What would you like to drink? I'd love a water, please.

A water? Yes.

Resigned, almost. Yeah.

You're right.

(EXHALES) OK, that was... but I'm glad I'm in here now.

(SOMBRE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

It's not fun, walking into a party on your own.

I have a lot of anxiety at the moment

with stuff that's unresolved with Richie.

JACK: Pretty clear things have, um...

Exploded. ..shifted again, yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

What happened?

Well, we just had a massive fight,

and we're just not resolving any issues.

I've been called a liar, I've been told I'm not honest,

and I've been told that I'm gaslighting him,

and that is not the case.

(SOMBRE MUSIC CONTINUES)

It really (BLEEP) hurts.

(TENSE MUSIC SWELLS)

I don't know if we'll come back from this.

Um...I wish we could talk better.

Mmm. Communication.

I'm just hurt, so...

(SOMBRE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Who we missing? One, two, three, four...

Tim and Sara.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

(LAUGHS)

I just wanna see Tim walk in here, like, not with Sara.

No, but you know he will.

He's a fool.

He looks like a deadset fool.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

SARA: I'm definitely getting nervous now.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Mmmm! (CHUCKLES)

I'm, like, sweating now.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

I feel like he's just confused,

'cause he has this chick he really likes,

who he's really trying with.

He doesn't actually know if she physically cheated,

even though we all know she lied.

Yeah. That's bad enough, man. That's very bad.

Who do you think's gonna be the first to say something to me?

(LAUGHS) Jayden.

Jayden, yeah.

Like, I had a problem with what she did.

I've addressed that. Mmm.

That's over and done with.

What I have a problem with now is her leading him on -

saying she wants to be with him, she's got these sudden feelings,

when that is a load of crap.

She doesn't, and you know that as well as I do.

Yep.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

It'll be interesting to see if he comes in sticking up for her,

and having forgiven her.

(LAUGHS)

All I want is for Tim to see what's happening to him.

(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

EDEN: I've already given him the information

and he still doesn't see it.

So, it's, like...there's no point.

You can't help him anymore, yeah. He's helpless.

(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

I won't be surprised if Tim and Sara walk in hand in hand,

but I'll be pretty disappointed in Tim,

because it means that Tim, clearly,

is just going to keep falling for whatever Sara says.

I don't want to see Sara crumble. I don't.

I like Sara. Yeah, I like them both.

I like her. That's the issue.

But I don't like what she's doing to Tim.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

NARRATOR: Coming up, Jade drops a bomb.

I asked Jack,

if he was with someone that was more his type,

would he have slept with them by now,

and he said, "Yes, probably."

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

Boom!

Plus, Andrea and Richard hit breaking point.

RICHARD: Some of the things that she said to me are very hurtful,

very rude, very disrespectful -

as if I am her ex.

Don't say that!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Hey!

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Oh, Sara and Tim. Sara and Tim.

Hi!

I'm not going to say hello. I can't be (BLEEP) with that.

Oh, hasn't the energy just dropped in the room?

ALESSANDRA: Yes, absolutely.

At the last dinner party,

Sara knowingly deceived Tim, and betrayed him.

Sara and Tim would be sensing a lot of tension

coming from the group toward them.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

TRISTAN: Just be polite. Just be polite.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Look, it was never gonna be an easy cocktail party to walk into.

(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

I have so much anxiety right now,

because I just... I just know that the group

are gonna have a lot to say.

(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

Eden and Jayden have definitely had their claws out for me all week,

but I know that to show Tim I wanna stay,

I need to be there for him.

Hello. How are you? Good, thanks. How you doing?

You alright? Yeah, doing well.

Hello, mate. How are you?

Doing alright. Doing alright, yeah. Cheers.

I'm gonna grab a drink.

(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

JOHN: I'm seeing Sara smiling tonight,

but I think that's a very uncomfortable look for her.

(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

Oh, god!

JAYDEN: I mean, Sara and Tim are walking in

like they're the most happiest couple in the world.

I know there is so much more to Sara than what meets the eye.

She's fooling Tim and tonight I will definitely be saying what I think.

What I have a problem with now is her leading him on,

playing it on so she can stick around in this experiment.

But eventually she's gonna drop him and you know it.

Tim should be running for the hills.

LUCINDA: We know nothing. Are we hiding under a rock?

Are we like the old peeps? (LAUGHS)

We can only go into the boxing ring so many times tonight.

It's exhausting. (LAUGHS) It's not my usual habitat.

Well, you've turned into an absolute cow!

(LAUGHS)

You slag everyone off behind their back.

I do not! (LAUGHS) You're just critical of everybody.

Stop! (LAUGHS)

It's all your fault.

You've become Mr Nice Guy and I've become a slag-off.

Everyone's great people. Why do you look at them so badly?

(LAUGHS)

I don't understand why you would do that.

MEL: This is gorgeous, watching Timothy and Lucinda now.

ALESSANDRA: They're sweet. So playful, isn't it?

Yes.

It's great that they've arrived at this place.

LUCINDA: You're so hot right now. (LAUGHS, EXCLAIMS)

There's a little flirt.

This is how they begin to get more intimate.

(TIMOTHY LAUGHS)

I like the new bad Lucinda. We're just having a lot of fun.

(LAUGHS)

(LAUGHS) I've already got sweat marks.

TORI: I just feel like, when it comes to Timothy,

I actually don't want to entertain anything that comes out his mouth.

Do you know that Jack and Tori just started looking at us?

Yes.

Jack and Tori are so (BLEEP) mad right now.

I can feel the tension from the other side of the room.

And I've gotta be honest, I love it.

They absolutely know that we wrote the letter.

I'm OK with that.

They can yell and rant and rave but...

Just answer the questions that were on the letter.

That's right.

They're just pissed off because nobody is buying their shit.

Isn't interesting to watch Jack and Tori so separate from the group?

JOHN: Yeah.

The letter seems to have really hit a nerve.

ALESSANDRA: Yeah. (LUCINDA LAUGHS)

TORI: I just can't believe how sneaky Timothy is.

Can I say, like, the penny's just dropped?

The penny literally, like... (JACK LAUGHS)

..just hit the ground and I'm, like, "Oh!"

So, I think Lucinda and Timothy are absolutely behind the letter

that we were sent

'cause it's petty as (BLEEP) and they're petty as shit.

(LAUGHS)

Tim's there with his smug little face and Lucinda's laughing, giggling...

(LAUGHS) ..drinking the Timothy Kool-Aid.

(BLEEP) me, mate. Seriously. (LAUGHS)

(LAUGHS)

That's gotcha, hasn't it? Yeah, it's got me.

(LAUGHS)

JACK: It's just poor form. (LUCINDA LAUGHS)

What's happened to me? It's all your fault.

(TAPS GLASS) Ladies and gentlemen, dinner is served.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

I really don't know what Timothy's problem is.

You know, he's had it in for me ever since the start of this experiment.

I feel like now he's got it in for Tori

because he hasn't been able to wedge us apart.

MAN: Another day.

That letter was below the belt. That's OK.

Me and Tori, we're ready to defend ourselves, so they better be ready.

Oh...

This is one of those classic 'elephant at the table' moments.

All of a sudden, they're terribly interested in their food.

EDEN: It's awfully quiet in this room.

LUCINDA: The lay of the land

is basically we're all animals in this wild jungle

and there's a little bit of this going on.

Some of the animals are very wary of each other.

There's a couple of us that are out for a bit of blood tonight.

Tori and Jack are looking at me and Tim with real...

Like, I can just feel the metaphorical steam,

like, pumping out of their ears - they know it's us.

JOHN: It looks like things are percolating.

It's just below the surface. MEL: Yes.

Someone wants to kick it off

but no-one's put their hand up to do it yet.

(LUCINDA TAPS GLASS) MEL: Oh!

I can just feel some real awks and dorks on this table.

Oh, so can we, Lucinda. Yes.

It's a little bit too awkward for me.

Here we go!

So I'm just actually gonna fess up straight up.

TORI: Oooh.

So, we decided to write an anonymous letter...

(LAUGHTER) ..to Tori and Jack.

Interesting.

We wanted to keep it really factual,

a little bit of fun, hence the bullshitting.

And we just wanted to, yeah... We wanted to fess up.

What did you think of our letter?

Truthfully, the letter really pissed me off.

Why?

Because the points in the letter were petty.

The first one was, "You guys are going from strength to strength

"but you're not sleeping with each other."

Yeah.

I feel like we've spoken about this to (BLEEP) death.

Jack and I share a very strong sexual connection, right?

There is no doubt about it.

But our sex life, it's absolutely no-one's business

and it's going to remain no-one's business.

I will not speak on it.

So I felt like that was a low blow.

And then the task was, call the ex... Yep.

..have a three-way conversation. Yep.

JADE: With who?

With Tim... With the ex-girlfriend.

With the girl from the article. Correct.

Yeah. Absolutely not happening.

That is that. Move the (BLEEP) on.

We've been talking about the same thing for ten weeks

and I actually hate repeating myself once,

but I've done it quite a lot here, so, like, let's make this very clear.

This doesn't have to make sense to anyone else other than this!

JAYDEN: Well, it kind of does. We are in an experiment.

And we do have to open up to everyone and explain...

Let me reiterate.

I don't care how this looks to anyone other than this.

But people want to know and that's what the experiment is.

Let me reiterate again. I don't care how it looks.

Are we know what it is and we are confident in that.

I'm not an idiot

and if I felt like I was being led down the garden path

and if I felt like Jack wasn't into me,

I promise you, I wouldn't be sitting here.

So, whatever anyone else has to say, god bless, that's your opinion.

JADE: I do think a lot of people are thinking the same thing.

I feel like Tori is in her little love bubble

and she isn't seeing what everyone else is seeing,

which is that she likes Jack a lot more than he likes her.

I don't really want to get involved in that relationship.

But if she still wants to ignore this letter,

I do have information that I think Tori would want to know...

so I'll do it.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

JADE: I want to say something.

OK, so, Jack and I went to a one-on-one.

I asked Jack, if he was with someone that was more his type,

would he have slept with them by now?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

And he said "Yes, probably."

Boom!

I had asked Jack... Yep.

..if he was with someone that was more his type,

would he have slept with them by now?

And he said, "Yes, probably."

Boom!

Bullshit!

I call bullshit on you, Jack.

You have played a game for ten weeks and finally you're in a corner.

Jack's not into Tori.

He's just toying with her and that just proved it tonight.

JOHN: How's Jack gonna answer this one?

Yeah, no, I'll answer that.

I did, for this week... me and Jade had to catch up

and she did ask that question.

And I said if I had a sexual spark with someone,

I would've slept with that person by now.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

MEL: Poor Tori. That must be so hard for her.

Well, yes, because he's saying, in essence, "We don't have a spark

"and that's why we're not having sex..."

That's right.

..which is quite different to what they told us on the couch.

TIMOTHY: But how does that make you feel, Tori?

How does it make me feel? She feels the same way about me.

I don't care about you. I care about Tori.

I don't care about you, mate. I feel like...

I didn't ask you!

I really don't know what Timothy's problem is.

I mean, all he's doing is watching me

and as soon as I slip up, he's writing it down,

comes to these dinner parties and he thinks he's this 'hail Mary'.

I'm sick of it. He's a joke.

Mate, she thinks you're a joke. Tori thinks you're a joke.

She does. I feel like if I was...

Tori thinks you're a joke, mate. Jack!

MEL: Jack, baiting!

Every now and then, he gets riled, particularly by Tim...

Yeah.

..because he's been exposed here with that comment.

I just want him to know.

I feel like if I was in a position... Why, mate? (LAUGHS)

Because you think she has respect for you but she doesn't.

OK... Stop! Stop! She thinks you're a joke.

Why are you looking over here? Look at me.

Stop! She thinks you're a joke.

I believe that you guys... I know.

..are so staged... I know, mate.

..it is ridiculous. That's fine.

Thanks! Amazing! Brilliant!

I've got nothing for respect for Tori

but I'm just concerned he's just toying with her.

And we can all see through it.

How does it make me feel? How do you want it to make me feel, Tim?

JAYDEN: I think it's pretty obvious how it makes anyone feel...

JONATHAN: Yeah. ..in that position.

It doesn't have to be addressed. That hurt me for you.

Yeah. You don't need to be hurt for me.

I feel like everyone's, like, "Oh, poor Tori!"

No. No, no. Stop.

Trust that I can handle my own...

And I'm fine. So fine.

I don't think she'd be fine at all. MEL: She's not fine.

I think that's a terrible thing to hear your partner say. Yeah.

TORI: And when I say that,

I mean it with such ferocity it's not funny.

I actually believe you. I just don't believe him.

That's fine. You guys can have that opinion.

I absolutely love that for all of you.

If I felt like I was being played like a dickhead,

trust me, I would've been gone weeks ago.

I need everyone to trust that.

Take it, run with it, for the love of...

Amen. ..god.

I'm not an idiot, I'm not a fool. I know what I'm doing.

Jack and I are fine.

Respectfully, or disrespectfully, shut up.

Enough. Amen.

ALESSANDRA: Look at Tori's face. MEL: Mmm.

There's anger there.

TORI: Just enough now. I'm (BLEEP) done here.

No, it's all good.

(LOW-LEVEL CONVERSATION)

MEL: She says they're in a good place but there's more to it.

ALESSANDRA: It's a defence mechanism.

JOHN: Yeah. She doesn't want to face the music.

There is so much under the surface here that is not being said.

JACK: What about you, Jayden? What have you got for us, mate?

TORI: Stop being so perfect. JAYDEN: Yeah, well, we are!

(LAUGHTER)

I like Eden and she's, like, amazing, so...

He likes me. What's that?

I said "He likes me."

JADE: Has he told you he loves you yet?

No. He hasn't. Not out loud.

Not out loud? WOMAN: Not out loud!

What? CASS: Jayden, that's so sweet!

On the right path to the L.

JOHN: Oh, that's nice. MEL: Aw!

I mean, you can tell, some of the couples,

they're going strength to strength each week, basically.

MEL: Mm-hm. ALESSANDRA: I love it.

(RIDGE AND JADE LAUGH)

(LUCINDA AND TIM LAUGH)

JOHN: Look at Richard, though.

And Andy as well.

MEL: Richie looks really tense. Yeah.

And also a little defeated.

WOMAN: Andrea and Richard, what's going on? Fill us in.

Well, we've been on a journey, as everyone knows

and we started off really great

and then we lost some of the chemistry in our relationship

and I was always fighting for the chemistry to be back.

And it was kind of getting to a point where there wasn't really...

it wasn't really working.

And we had pretty heated conversations.

They got a bit personal and a bit nasty as well.

I think the wedge has been

that Andy has a lot of hurt and trauma from previous relationships.

And I think that's got into the way of our relationship.

Andy, what's your point of view?

I don't think my previous relationships

have anything to do with the actual issue between us.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

The issues I've been having with Richie is about communication.

It's got nothing to do with previous partners.

So, I don't think we communicate well

and I feel like Richie doesn't listen to me

and try to understand where I'm coming from.

JAYDEN: Is that something you guys can get past, do you think?

It depends on how you look at it.

The communication block is caused by Andy's trauma from her ex.

MEL: I feel for Richard

but Richard needs to be a bit careful about constantly saying

that Andy is triggered,

as opposed to taking any accountability

for the fact that what he's saying is hurting her.

ANDREA: Me not being able to be heard by you

and you did not even acknowledge my feelings...

that's nothing to do with previous relationships.

You've been disrespecting me.

It's not, you know, those things I feel a bit...

Disrespecting you? Disrespected, yeah.

Oh, OK. Yeah.

OK, Andy. Yep.

I'm getting completely frustrated with Richie.

Like, absolutely frustrated

because I've had this conversation so many times with him.

I've asked him to stop bringing up my previous relationships.

Just his utter disregard to clear boundaries is really upsetting me.

I mean, I'm sorry, for me, it's very clear.

It's about her past relationship hurt and trauma, OK?

Every time I've been on the couch, message is, "Richard is not your ex.

"Like, Richard's not that guy."

(SIGHS) OK? That's what's been said a lot.

ANDREA: He makes me feel like I'm crazy.

I just don't know how we've ended up here.

She's got trauma and hurt from her ex.

I know she doesn't like me saying that,

but Andy has compared me to her ex in her past relationships.

That's what it's about.

ANDREA: I can't anymore.

Some of the things that she's said to me are very hurtful, very rude,

very disrespectful, as if I am her ex.

(BANGS TABLE) Don't say that!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

For (BLEEP)'s sake!

Listen! Just try, please!

(BLEEP)!

Some of the things that she's said to me are very hurtful, very rude,

very disrespectful, as if I am her ex.

(BANGS TABLE) Don't say that!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Relationship... For (BLEEP)'s sake!

Listen! Just try, please!

(BLEEP)!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

I love Richie and I think he's an amazing, passionate person

but I think he gets very tunnel-visioned

and once he gets tunnel vision,

he can't see what else is around him and that's sad.

Richie, I do love you, but, like, Andy's obviously in pain here

and you keep on pointing out, like, her triggers.

Like, look at her.

She's, like, upset and, like, you're not, like...

you're not noticing these things.

No, I...I accept that right now

there's not a lot of compassion coming out of me

as I sit here next to her.

That has not been how it's been for the whole experiment.

I'm just curious, is there any part of this that you can own,

that's your part?

For sure.

Am I an emotional person who gets excited when I speak?

Am I a bit robust in the way I deliver? Yes, I am.

So it comes out in conversations

and it gets a bit heated and it's not very constructive.

I get that. And that's something that I work on.

But personally, I feel very exhausted,

I feel very depleted and I feel very sad.

I just want to get our relationship back to where it was...

because I adore her.

TORI: Aw!

I have strong feelings for you, you know that.

I always have had.

MEL: Oh, that's very sad.

JOHN: Yeah, I mean, this was a couple

that we had such high hopes for

and now they are in this state of disarray.

Yeah.

RICHARD: I mean, we have a good time together,

there's no doubt about that.

ANDREA: Yeah, we do have loads of fun.

It's OK. I don't want to fight with you anymore.

MEL: But she's still holding his hand.

(LOW-LEVEL CONVERSATION)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Why don't we ask Jade and Ridge?

How are you guys going after feedback week?

TORI: Why don't we ask Sara and Tim?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

RIDGE: I think so as well.

JOHN: Sara and Tim were really right in the middle of a lot of drama

the last dinner party.

Yeah. Sara deceived him purposely...

That's right. ..to catch up with an ex!

That's right.

TIM: Last dinner party was, like, pretty messed up.

I was absolutely gutted by what happened.

But I have addressed that in private with Sara.

I have given her the opportunity to try and make it up to me.

Whether or not it works out, like, that's up to me, so...

Tim, unless Eden brought it up, you'd still be clueless right now.

Just think about that.

And what else has she done it behind your back...

Exactly right. ..that you don't know about?

100%. 100%.

We had a feedback week sit-down, two on two, with Tim and Sara

One of the questions for Sara, "Are the messages to your ex still there?

"If they are, can Tim see them?

"And if they aren't, why aren't they?"

She deleted the messages.

I deleted the messages

because I was meeting up with my ex and I knew that it was wrong.

I'm not excusing my behaviour. Honestly, what I...

Bro, that is wrong.

Tim, run for the hills, man.

Jayden...

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Sara doesn't actually want to stay here to repair things with you.

She wants to repair her image and stay here till the end.

We have literally... We're doing our best.

No, no, no. YOU'RE doing your best. WOMAN: You're doing your best.

You're doing your best, bro. I need... I need a second.

I need... (EXHALES) You're doing well.

You're doing your best. You are. You're doing your best, bro.

She's doing her best now she has to.

What am I supposed to do here, you know, like...

Leave! Leave, bro. That's what we want you to do.

Leave, man.

Alright, alright, alright, let's just shut us down...

Like, hold on. Enough. Enough.

It's been a challenging relationship for both of us.

And I appreciate the support, I appreciate the concern

but this is our relationship.

Please, respect our decision to try and make it work.

I feel bad for Sara because everyone's, like,

coming down Sara's throat

and I do feel like they were pretty hard on her

and I don't want to see her just get torn to shreds.

I want to just show the group, at the end of the day,

that I'm still her husband

and I'm gonna let her try and make it up to me.

I didn't think that things could get better

but week in, week out,

we are working on it and we are growing.

The last, like, week or so, really, I felt like there has been a change

in the way that she's been behaving towards me.

What I've felt is warmth.

It's been a big change

and after the retreat, I'm seeing a different version of her

that I've been fighting to see this whole time.

Sara and I are in this together and it's our relationship.

We want to be together, full stop.

I'm very grateful that Tim had my back.

I have so much regret that I hurt him.

He's chosen to be open to forgive me

and I'm hopeful that we can make this work.

I'm gonna do everything in my power to fight for it.

That's all that matters to me.

NARRATOR: Still to come, Timothy and Lucinda break new ground.

WOMAN: Oh!

(WILD CHEERING)

..before...

Yeah.

You alright? Yeah. Yeah.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC) (LOW-LEVEL CONVERSATION AND LAUGHTER)

TIMOTHY: I just need a minute.

(BLEEP). I just need a minute.

(LOW-LEVEL CONVERSATION) (LAUGHTER)

JOHN: There's a lot of love here... MEL: Yeah.

..in the room. Yes.

ALESSANDRA: Beautiful to see some of this finally.

Yeah.

Look at the closeness between Lucinda and Timothy.

They're very open with one another. They are!

We can say that for sure, can't we? Yeah. Beautifully open.

You know, we're actually moving in a better direction.

We haven't had a fight in weeks. (LAUGHTER)

Hang on.

I just see the glow and the energy and it just makes me feel warm,

you know, so I love it.

I love it. (LAUGHS)

TORI: You guys, look, honestly, like,

I don't have a lot of time for you tonight

but I will be the bigger person and say you look closer.

I said what I said.

(LAUGHTER)

She doesn't want to say it. That's as good as it gets?

I'll be the bigger person. JAYDEN: She approves.

(LAUGHS) Take with it and run.

EDEN: Guys, you seem like you're vibing.

Yes. Yes. I love it!

Progress!

EDEN: I think Lucinda and Timothy,

they've just been going from strength to strength

and if Timothy's arch nemesis, Tori, can see it, that's huge.

Look, I've been getting hugs every day.

There's just energy...a change.

TIMOTHY: Look, there's something about that retreat.

I've figured out that I have some problems, unfortunately.

Or fortunately. We all do. It's OK.

I don't have my shit together like I thought I did.

Yeah.

A little bit broken.

But, you know, Lucinda has actually broken down those walls.

You're doing it yourself. It's nothing to do with me.

MEL: Oh, I'm loving this for Timothy.

His energy is so different the past two weeks.

Yeah, isn't it? So much softer.

Yeah. So much present.

And open.

TIMOTHY: So, you know, it's...

It's a little bit different.

It's different.

I'm usually stone-faced and hard as a rock.

Yeah, I... I feel things a little bit more than I normally would.

ALESSANDRA: She affects him.

Yeah. Her energy affects him.

JOHN: Mmm.

He respects her and he responds to her,

which is a lot of what we hoped would happen.

LUCINDA: I am loving the unravelling of this gorgeous creature.

He's such a gorgeous man.

TORI: Oh!

(WILD CHEERING)

TRISTAN: Father and Mother!

MEL AND JOHN: Oooh!

ALESSANDRA: Oh, my god. Yes. A little affection.

EDEN: What just happened? (CASSANDRA LAUGHS)

Lucinda and Timothy kissed.

I literally wanted to jump the table and kiss them both.

Oh, my god! Go again.

It was amazing.

The kiss! It was fricken insane!

I looked over and they're making out...

I said, "Oh, my god!" Like, you know, it was bloody wild!

That's a step!

If anything, that's a leap for those old dogs, you know.

I'm so happy for them.

What a comeback, you know. What a slow burn!

Something happened at the table tonight.

(LAUGHS) It was so divine.

I was a bit cheeky. I gave him a kiss on the cheek.

I just felt such an impulse just to give love

and he just turned around and gave me one straight on the lips

and it shocked me a bit!

But it was divine.

(LAUGHS) Utterly divine.

ANDREA: So, things are good. (LAUGHS)

Anything that comes from Tim feels really true at this point.

And that is so meaningful because it's from his heart.

You know, it's...it's...it's... It's good.

It's good. Things are the best they've been.

It means so much!

Because I so wanted this romance, you know,

and I haven't felt that for a long time.

Tim's got so much ahead.

Like, this guy is so strong.

Like, he's got good bones, like, the good grit that makes a good man.

Cheers to Papa and Mama.

(LAUGHS) What a good cheers.

Cheers, guys.

(LOW-LEVEL CONVERSATION)

(EXHALES)

TORI: This will go the length of time...

ALESSANDRA: Look at Tim.

All of a sudden, he seems very low to me.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC) (LOW-LEVEL CONVERSATION)

(LAUGHS)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

He looks sad.

Yeah.

Are you alright? TIMOTHY: Yeah. Yeah.

(LOW-LEVEL CONVERSATION CONTINUES)

I just need a minute.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(BLEEP). I just need a minute.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(LOW-LEVEL CONVERSATION)

(EXHALES)

TORI: This will go the length of time.

ALESSANDRA: Look at Tim.

JOHN: All of a sudden, he seems very low to me.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Yeah.

Are you alright? Yeah. Yeah.

(LOW-CONVERSATION AND LAUGHTER)

TIMOTHY: I just need a minute.

(BLEEP). I just need a minute.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

I just need a minute.

TIMOTHY: I don't know what it is.

I don't know what it is.

I just can't hold myself together.

(CRIES)

I've never been in this position.

(CRIES, EXHALES)

I came...

I came onto this to meet somebody, to find love.

And sitting at the table...

and I realised that this whole time I've been wasting time,

just being angry and closed-off.

(SIGHS)

You know, I judge everybody else

but I'm most probably the most broken out of everybody.

Timothy is gone... Where is Timothy?

LUCINDA: He needed to be excused.

(CRIES)

TIMOTHY: I'm 51 years old and I've never really let anyone in.

I feel like I wasted those years.

(CRIES)

I wish I'd come into this with a more open heart,

ready to be matched with a person like Lucinda.

(LOW-LEVEL CONVERSATION)

She always looks for the best in people.

She's always looks for the best in me.

Sorry, honey.

JAYDEN: Is Timothy alright? Yeah, I'll go check.

She's a rock, there's no question.

Lucinda's a rock.

She's a warm person, completely open and just my complete opposite.

(TIMOTHY CRIES)

Aw!

Mmm.

(EXHALES)

Oh...

Mmm.

(CRIES, EXHALES)

TIMOTHY: The idea of somebody getting close does scare me

because I am used to being alone.

LUCINDA: Mmm...

I guess just being around Lucinda...

..I can see maybe there's a better way to live.

(CRIES)

I'm in sort of uncharted territory for me.

(EXHALES)

(CRIES)

It's easy being hated. It's hard being liked.

I never ever thought an experiment like this

could really work.

ECHOES: Really work. Really work.

(SOFT MUSIC PLAYS)

You blew up at me.

And you said,

"why don't you do something nice for me for once in your life?"

You look broken to me.

(SOFT MUSIC CONTINUES)

Do you feel admiration?

So much admiration.

You do know admiration is the gateway to love.

VOICEOVER: Will love...

We have connected on a deeper level

and I'm deeply sorry.

..conquer...

I saw these two change.

They were giddy.

We see right through it.

We see right through her fake act, pretending to like Tim

when she doesn't.

or crack.

I see a future with Tori. Stop.

I'm not buying it.

How do you feel about Tori?

Umm...

I'm actually sleeping really well.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

The most emotion-charged commitment ceremony.

I don't know if Eden is everything that I thought.

Sunday at 7pm on Nine and 9now.
