NARRATOR: It's been four weeks

since Australia's biggest
social experiment ended.

Twenty-four singles
bravely put themselves forward

to be carefully matched
in the hope of finding true love.

And after what has
been an extraordinary journey

filled with romantic connections.

(CHEERING)

I'm done. There's no-one else.

It's just gonna be you
for the rest of my life.

Self discovery.

I try to make a joke
of pretty much everything 'cause...

(SNIFFS)

..it's the way
that I deal with things.

Raw emotions.

Shut your mouth!

MAN: "Muzzle your woman"?

"Muzzle your woman!"

MAN: Gee.

How many of you at the table
have cheated on a partner?

Raise your hand.

You can't tell me how I feel!

Vulnerabilities laid bare.

I hate myself.

Like, the way I look.

I think I sound annoying as well.

(SOBS)

It's easy being hated.

It's hard being liked.

(EXHALES)

Like, I was seriously traumatised
from my past relationships.

And for some...

I love you.
What!

..it's been the journey

that saw them find the thing
they were searching for, true love.

I never thought an experiment
like this could really work.

I am falling in love with you.

You're stuck with me now

so don't mess it up.

I'm falling for you.

I can't wait to bring our
relationship to our everyday lives,

so that I can tell you
that I love you every single day.

It's been one of the most
captivating experiments so far,

and last night was no different.

As Jono and Ellie

made their unexpected entrance
at the reunion dinner party...

WOMAN: Whoo-hoo!

Holy shit!

Oh, they're together.

..sending shock waves
through the group.

What?
(GASPS)

WOMAN: What the (BLEEP)
is going on?

..leaving Lauren blindsided.

I feel disgusted. I feel sick.

He tried to call me a (BLEEP) liar.

and the fact that he had the nerve
to do that

knowing he was in a relationship
with her, is sickening.

You're the nastiest person
I've ever met in my life, Lauren.

You are horrible.

I left the experiment on week five,
you (BLEEP) bitch!

(GASPS)
What?

But Jono, mate...
Shush your face, I'm talking.

You're such a liar.

I am not, you are.
You are, mate.

BEN: You are 100% full of shit.
Shush, Ben.

But when the group
turned up the heat on Jono...

You're together now,
there was intent there.

There wasn't.
You know it.

And I don't care what you think.
Just own it.

..he turned it back on Tim.

Tim said that he felt like
he was rushed at final vows

and if he DID have that time

he would have
made a different decision.

What?

Why would you say that to him?

Why?

Jono's just doing all of this
to deflect.

Deflection, deflection.

MAN: That's Jono's word,
'deflection'.

If you don't want
to be in this relationship,

don't (BLEEP) be in it!

Tonight the participants
have returned

to look back on their experiences...

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

..one last time.

Greetings, everybody.
Hello.

Hi.

Hello.

Hi.

MEL: Hello.

JOHN: Great to see you, everyone.

Well, welcome back, everybody,
for the final reunion.

(CHEERING)

Absolutely.

What a ride.

Now, if last night
is anything to go by...

(SCATTERED CHUCKLING)

..tonight
will certainly be illuminating.

Over three months ago
this experiment began...

(MOUTHS SILENTLY)

..and 24 very brave individuals

threw themselves into the deep end,
looking for the fairy tale.

For some, you were
able to achieve that.

You fell in love.

You found your someone special.

While for others, it didn't pan out
as you would have hoped.

Tonight we have the opportunity
to unpack some of the key moments

that have shaped this experiment,

and no doubt
your relationship in it.

So, on that note, let's go back
to where it all began,

to the site of this experiment,
your wedding days.

Oh, my god!
(LAUGHTER)

Oh!

WOMAN: Oh, my god!
(LAUGHTER)

(GENTLE MUSIC)

LUCINDA: Marrying a stranger

is such an historical and ancient
thing to do, to be match made.

I want to find love.

I want to find a gorgeous husband.

MAN: Aw!

CASSANDRA: I'm ready
to receive the love.

I'm ready to give the love.

I'm ready to be in the love.

JADE: I feel like it IS so important
to me to find my person.

JAYDEN: I've been wanting
to get married since I was 18.

You know, I want
that young marriage.

WOMAN: Aw, Jayden.

WOMAN: You've got to jump into the
darkness

to see if the light will come
and shine through.

That's when love can triumph.

ANDREA: I feel like it's all
been a bit of a fairytale.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC)

(THUMP)

(MUSIC WINDS DOWN)

(BLEEP)

(CRASH)

(SQUEALS)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(HANDLE CLICKS)

Child lock.
Cols!

(DOG BARKS)

(SQUELCH)

(LAUGHS)

Ow!
(BLEEP)

Your precious cargo.

(LAUGHS)
Yes!

(TRIUMPHANT MUSIC)

(THUMP)

Yes! (BLEEP) Yes!

Yes, you legend!

(CRASH)

WOMAN: Oh, my goodness!
MAN: Oh, god!

TIMOTHY: Geez! Now shit gets real.

I think it's better.

(LAUGHTER)

(CHUCKLES)

(CHUCKLES)

Hello, everybody.

JAYDEN: Wow. She's stunning.

EVERYONE: Aw!

Hi.
Hey, how are you?

I'm Tori.
Jack.

Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.

You look beautiful. Look stunning.
Thank you so much.

So, so far killing it.

This is a pretty crazy first date.

Let's get married.
Yeah.

Marriage, to me, is a sacred
connection and commitment.

It's a statement saying
this is my forever partner.

I stand here today as a man who is

ready to dive into the
unknown waters of this experiment

in the hope of finding my soulmate,
the girl of my dreams,

and the person who I
spend the rest of my life with.

You'll meet my shakti chaos

and the damsel in me
that wants you to rub my body.

LAUREN: Oh, that is SO good!

I hope to grow together as a team,

making everyday special,

and bringing out the best
in each other.

I'm like one of those kit cars
from the '80s,

I sort of look OK on the outside
but I'm a lot of work.

Oh!

I'm not everyone's
cup of tea

but, hey, (BLEEP) them...
(GASPS)

..I drink coffee anyway.

(LAUGHTER)

You may seal this deal
with a kiss!

(CHEERING)

MAN: Whoo!

(CHEERING)

(APPLAUSE)

(CHEERING)
(EDEN LAUGHS)

(CHEERING)

(LAUGHTER)

I just got married.

What a day! What a day.

(LAUGHTER)

JAYDEN: I don't fall very often
for a girl,

but when I do, it's fast.

And that's what
we're looking at with Eden.

Without speaking too soon,
she's hopefully the one.

What an opening.

That was hectic. That was hectic.

ALESSANDRA: Our first couple
up on the couch tonight...

Lauren and Jonathan.

(SOFT APPLAUSE)

(CHUCKLES)

Eugh, (BLEEP)
(CHUCKLES)

Hey, you two.

Well...

Shall we talk about last night?

Oh, shit.

Well, if you'd like to.

Yes.

OK, Jonathan, you walked in
with Ellie last night,

which was a shock to...

MEL: Mmm.

..at least us definitely.

And I think
most of the group as well.

JONATHAN: Yep.

Tell us about that.

So, about a week after final vows,

I made the decision
to reach out to Ellie.

I wanted to call her
and let her know what had happened.

I didn't...

You mean progress
from the texting to calling?

Yes.
Reach out?

I gave her a call
and said, "Shit's gone down."

I didn't want her
to come into the reunion

and get railroaded
or blindsided by all of it so...

And I thought she was going
to be upset or worried

and she laughed

and said, "This is the most
ridiculous thing I've ever heard."

And then we talked for, like,
1.5 hours.

Help me understand.
Maybe it's me not understanding.

She laughed at...
Which part was funny?

So, the whole fact
that the messages we sent

had been made out
to be a cheating scandal

when they were quite innocent
and just gossip about the show.

SARA: But you're together
so there was intent.

Exactly. It's quite interesting.

Why would you reach out to a bride
who had left the experiment

and initiate a conversation
with her?

I reached out to lots of people.

Did you reach out to other brides
that had left?

No, not everyone.

OK, so why choose Ellie to reach out

and initiate a conversation
With her?

Um...

I didn't think it was an issue.

Why Ellie?

The question is why did
you choose to contact Ellie?

I messaged multiple people
including Ellie.

But not all the brides
so why this bride in particular?

Not all the brides
but some of them

and people who had a rough time.

I'm a caring person, I just
wanted to make sure she was OK.

I made the decision
to come back here with her

knowing it would look bad,

but I knew there
was nothing in the messages,

I knew we hadn't
done anything wrong,

and so I said, "I don't want to
spend that week without you."

I'd prefer to be with you.

The last three weeks Ellie
and I have been seeing each other

have been amazing.

Lauren, what was your experience

of seeing Jonathan and Ellie
walking in?

I was pretty embarrassed
and just I think

I would have expected, like,
someone to let me know or,

even when they walked in,

like, there was no real warmth or,

like, not that there needs
to be warmth between us,

we'd had a terrible ending.

But, like, I mean, Ellie
didn't even return the hello

or say, "Hey, girl, like, do you
wanna have a quick chat?"

I didn't hear the hello.
I have to interrupt.

I honestly didn't hear...

You don't have to interrupt,
it's her turn to speak now.

OK.
Thank you.

Yeah, I just would have, like,

wanted her to just to pull me
aside and be, like, "Hey."

But it's just, like,
the way it happened,

so that's
where I felt a bit embarrassed.

Ellie, now, yes,
I would like to know,

why did you not say hello
or acknowledge Lauren

when you walked in?

We observed that.
Yep. I didn't...

I honestly was just overwhelmed.

(EDGY MUSIC)

I honestly just forgot.

Didn't say hi to Lauren.

An honest mistake. Yeah.

Was there ever an opportunity

for you to take Lauren aside
and speak to her directly?

I actually didn't...

I don't think I had felt the need
to talk to Lauren about any of this.

Oh.

You know, I left the experiment
quite early on.

I didn't break any rules by,
you know, chatting to Jono.

There was no intent on my end.

I was just messaging with Jono.

They were very innocent

and I just felt like, you know,
I didn't need to.

SARA: I don't think that there needs
to be you doing anything wrong

for you to have a chat with someone

and be like, "Hey, I'm, like,
sorry how this all turned out."

Like, that's all you needed to say.
OK. Yeah.

(EDGY MUSIC)

What do you have to say to that,
Lauren?

If they're happy together
then I'm happy.

But what I'm not happy about
is, like, the volume of messages

and it just seemed like
the getting-to-know-you stages

of what I thought was, you know,
them liking each other.

It is very clear...
Yeah.

..that that is the case.
Which ended up happening.

So, I just felt like,
call it a woman's intuition,

I just felt like...

And I had made little, like, jokes
to Jono throughout the experiment,

like, I think Ellie's got a crush
on you, do you have a crush on her?

But Ellie also made a comment to Ben
that she thought Jono liked HER.

So, it wasn't like
I'm just this crazy person

bringing it out of nowhere.

Like...

Did you have a crush on Jonathan,
Ellie?

I always thought
Jono was good-looking.

I actually put him in my top four
on the Face Challenge.

But I, you know, as everyone knew,

I really tried to make my
relationship with Ben work

on the show.

And thank you for bringing up Ben.
Ben...

Yes?
What's your take on all this?

Regards with Jono, like,
I remember one time

we went out
and we were exercising,

and Jono just
had this laser focus for you

and you guys were glued together.

So it's OBVIOUS
that there was a crush.

Jonathan,
did you have a crush on Ellie?

No, I didn't. I didn't know Ellie.
I thought Ellie was...

No, you can not know somebody
and find them attractive

and be crushing on them from afar.

You knew her well enough
to reach out and text her

so it's not like
you didn't know her.

Obviously Ellie is good-looking

but it was only
when I made that first phone call

and we were laughing and having
all this banter that I realised,

I was like, wow, she's a lot
different to what I thought.

You didn't realise that
with all the texting before?

No.
Just on the phone call?

How serious are things with Ellie
at the moment?

Very serious. Yeah.

Define "Very serious."

I know it's only
been three or four weeks

but it's been
an amazing three or four weeks

and when you sort of know,
you know.

And the first weekend
we spent together was amazing.

Are you falling in love with Ellie?

(CHUCKLES)

(EXPECTANT MUSIC)

Um...

(EXPECTANT MUSIC)

ALESSANDRA: Jonathan...

are you falling in love with Ellie?

(CHUCKLES)

Um...

I would say I'm on a path to that.
Yeah.

Um...

She's amazing. Yeah.

I feel really lucky to have met her.

And I'm so happy.

Ellie, how serious
are your feelings for Jonathan?

I really like Jonathan. Yep.

I think everyone can tell that.

You really like him.
Are you falling in love with him?

I think, like he said,
it's heading down that path.

I'm so grateful to have met him.
Yeah.

So, in just four weeks

you both are feeling like you're
falling in love with one another.

I...

Let's call it like,
maybe in even five weeks.

We just have
such a great connection, like...

From the phone call.

(LAUGHS)
Yeah.

But we had a great night.

(LAUGHS)

Well, let's come back to you guys.

There is no doubt

that this relationship
had some serious ups and downs.

So, let's take a look back.

Oh, god. (BLEEP)
Oh!

(LAUGHTER)

(APPLAUSE)

(CHUCKLES)

Oh, wow.
She's actually good-looking.

I've got my twigs.

(LAUGHS)

Hey, how are you doing?
Hi.

I'm Jonathan.
Nice to meet you.

I really like him. He's nice.

And he's hot and he's tall,
and he's funny.

Yeah, he's good.

Wanna play (BLEEP), marry, kill?

Um... This is so rough.
I have to kill one of them?

You don't actually
have to kill them but...

He's just like, mmm,
he's probably too nice for me.

You give me no passion.
You give me nothing.

You just give me, like, autopilot.

I didn't think there was something
wrong with being a nice person.

I have a full day of no real
personality coming from you,

by the next day I'm like,
(BLEEP) this.

And my wall goes straight back up.

"Genital cupping."

What!

I can't believe this is actually
a thing.

Jonathan and I,
we're attracted to each other.

There's no doubt about that.

He's the best person.

See, like, I'm blushing and smiling.

Maybe it's done like this.

So, intimacy week
is gonna be easy for us.

I am going to a hundred percent
call out Jack for what he said.

(BLEEP)

Jack told Jono and Tim
that if it gets to Couple Swap Week,

that they can sleep with Tori
because he doesn't want to.

I haven't once said
I'm not attracted to Tori.

Not once.
Yes, you have.

To who?

Alright, Jono,
this is your chance to step up.

I said that you said that she is...
I'm a loyal guy, mate.

If you cut me now, I'm done.
So don't bullshit.

Everything you've ever said to me

you've always said that you
find her really attractive, yes.

Yep.

LAUREN: Is he (BLEEP) kidding me?

You were the one
that fed me the information

and you sat back and said nothing.

Like, seriously!

Your alliance is with me.

He's not gonna suck your dick
at the end of the night, is he?

JONATHAN: OK.

I'm excited
about Jono arriving today.

I have actually, like,
semi missed him,

which I didn't think would happen.

Ooh, baby, look at that.

Here, I'll...

That gets me (BLEEP) horny.

(LAUGHTER)

It's been
a really good homestay.

Like, we've really
enjoyed each other's company.

We've had with no issues.

We've just been
getting along really well.

Yes, we consummated the homestay.

Now I'm interested in, like,
making it work.

There could be a future for us.

TORI: I was made privy
to some information today

that Jono,
you had been texting Ellie.

And it kind of coincided
with some info

that Jack had brought me,
where you'd made comment about

hoping that you'd been matched
with Ellie instead of Lauren.

JONATHAN: There's absolutely
nothing there.

Every three or four days
she'll send a message saying...

Three or (BLEEP)
Ooh, that's a bit...

That's a bit juicy.

Do you have feelings for Ellie?
No, I don't.

Of any sort?
No, I don't.

(SNIFFS)
Now, now. I'm sorry.

Like, I just feel (BLEEP) stupid.

Well, you don't look stupid.
No, I do feel stupid.

Oh, OK.
Like, I do feel (BLEEP) stupid.

It's just humiliating.

Do you wanna
have a look at the messages?

Yeah, alright.

There's a lot of messages.

There are lots of messages, yeah.

I know.
I can see there's lots of messages.

But there's actually
no mention of me at all.

JAYDEN: Jono,
how do you feel about Ellie?

I think Ellie
is a good-looking chick, of course,

but there is
nothing going on there at all.

(SNIGGERS)

So, you'd put that to bed.
Like, you and Ellie in the future.

You don't think it'd
ever be a thing,

wouldn't pursue it?

JONATHAN: Yeah, 100%.

Completely innocent.

And I can't wait for the reunion
'cause Ellie can say the same thing.

We were both willing
to give it our absolute all,

at least that's what it seemed.

And then, of course,
it all came crashing down.

It was brought to my attention

that you had been continuing
to build some kind of a relationship

with another bride,

one that you hid from me,

then had the audacity
to blame me for

when you were exposed.

So, in this case, Jono,

I don't see a future with you...

and no, it's not me, it's you.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

JONATHAN: I'll take a bit of time

and then when I'm ready,
I'll start looking again.

I wanna find that special someone.

I wish Jono and Ellie well.

They can ride off into the sunset
together.

(MAN CLEARS HIS THROAT)
Ooh.

(SARA LAUGHS)

(CLEARS THROAT)
(LAUREN EXHALES)

Well, damn.

SARA: One hundred percent no,

you weren't going
to go there with Ellie, eh?

JAYDEN: Jono, she's got you there.

At the time that's how I felt.
I didn't know Ellie.

BEN: Mate, the instincts I had
from the get-go, no surprise.

What you have to say to that, Jono?

Um...

At the time
there were no feelings for Ellie.

I just think I was surprised to see
that Lauren was upset about Ellie

because I always
felt she never liked me.

She never gave me a chance
of feeling like

nothing I did was right.

And then that...
LAUREN: I swear to god...

Don't try to deflect onto me,
that's so unfair.

I'm not deflecting.
You are.

It marred our...

Don't frolic in here
with someone else

and then try and sit here
and blame it on me.

Frolicking, yeah. I did think...

Now you're just saying that

because you've walked in with Ellie.
and you're...

We're all happy
for you to be with Ellie.

You don't need to keep doing this.

You're just digging yourself
in a bigger hole.

I'm not at all.
You really are.

I'm not.

Alright, well,
you chose to stay with me.

I don't know, I just
don't like this side of you

when you feel backed into a corner
you love to, like,

I'm gonna throw everything
I possibly can on you

to, like, make you look bad.

But you have betrayed every
single person here's trust.

(SIGHS)

Where to for you two?

Do you think that you can
ever be civil, friendly again?

I've got no issue with Jono.

Well, I've got
heaps of issues with Jono

but nothing that I care
to continue outside of this room.

Ditto.

I never wanted to leave this
experiment with hate and vitriol,

and that's how it ended,
and it sucked.

And I really hated that.
Yeah, me too.

But I don't regret coming here.

I think this is probably one of the
best experiences that I've ever had

in my life.

Regardless of a lot of the bad times
that Jono and I experienced,

I think coming in here has
taught me a lot about myself,

and I hope that I can continue to,
like, work on my reactiveness

and my choice of language,

and maybe just take a breath.

My dad always says to me, "Lauren,

"before you speak, talk like
you're talking to a judge."

He messaged me that
after the last dinner party

and I was, like, "Great advice
but it's way too late for that."

(BOTH LAUGH)

To the two of you, honestly,

it's been a joy
to have you in the experiment.

You sure?
Yes.

It's been very interesting.

Very fun at times,

very shocking,

very much of a lot of things.

You've always been very raw,
very real.

We do thank you very much
for being here

and being a part of this.

Thank you.
Thank you for having us.

Thank you for having us.
Really appreciate it.

(APPLAUSE)
Good luck to both of you.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you.

NARRATOR: Still to come...

The Lucinda and Timothy update
everyone's been hoping for.

I always said
it wasn't an ending of something

but the beginning of something.

Yep.
MEL: Oh! This is wonderful.

ALESSANDRA: That makes me so happy.

But before that...

She just lies.

Cassandra doesn't hold back...

There's nothing honest about her.

You don't know me.

You've never spoken two words
outside of THIS conversation.

..as she reveals her true feelings
for Sara.

You are not real,
you're not authentic,

you are the worst.

Oh!

NARRATOR: And later...

Is there anything that you
want to finally say, Tori?

I have nothing to say.

I wanna leave.

What causes Tori
to make an abrupt exit?

Let's go.

Are you taking
the absolute (BLEEP) piss?

I wanna go.
Yeah, it's a tough one.

I'm not (BLEEP) staying here.

I'm done with this.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(EDGY MUSIC)

JOHN: It's time to talk
to our next couple, on the couch...

Sara and Tim.

Ooh.
(APPLAUSE)

Hello.
Hello.

(LAUGHS)

I'm scared.
(LAUGHS)

Sara, Tim, how are you doing?

Good.
We're good.

We are.
We're actually really good...

Eugh!

..despite what you might
think of last night.

(CHUCKLES)
Well, let's go there, shall we?

Tim, you said something to Jono.

Get specific. What did you say?

So...

Post the final vows,

I told Jono that if I had a bit
more time to process the decision,

it might have
been a different decision.

What do you mean by that?

Well, as in, like, I might not have
said let's keep going with this.

Why do you think
if you had more time that

that was something
you were considering?

During that, you know, the end,

it was really like a battle
between my head and my heart.

You know.

I was thinking
about the times that we had.

You know, obviously we had,
it's no secret, like,

we had
a pretty turbulent relationship.

And um...

final vows, I feel like
I was building it out

to be a pretty big thing
of whether or not, like,

I really, genuinely,
see a future with Sara, you know,

like, a long-term future.

I had just...

I had no idea that he had doubts
and to hear that just, yeah,

it kind of broke me a little bit

'cause I was like,
you've never voiced that to me.

Having said those things,
it just came as a bit of a shock.

Tim, were you doubting your decision
at final vows?

It was a pretty heavy decision
for me.

There was hesitation.

There was uncertainty.

Whether or not we could
keep what we had going, you know,

like, this good thing going.

We have our
very different communication styles.

We've got different conflict styles.

And, it wasn't
exactly a smooth ride.

Jono, if I go to you,

why do you think
Tim confided in you

about his doubts about Sara
and the relationship?

If I had to guess I'd say he'd

be a bit worried
about bringing it up with Sara.

She's got a bit of a combative,
argument style

and it might be a bit daunting,
the prospect of doing that.

Well, certainly, your relationship
has been a rollercoaster.

You two certainly had a lot
of ups and downs in this experiment.

Yep.

So, let's take a moment now

to look back at your time
in the experiment.

What!

They really nailed back,
didn't they.

I'm, like, in awe.

You've just taken, like,
everything I've said

and been like, here you go,
this is your birthday.

TIM: I feel good energy,
I feel a good vibe.

She's beautiful.

(LAUGHS)

Um...

Oh!

Ahh...

A gentleman never tells,
you know.

I feel like it's not my place.

We did.

"So, for this task

"I want you to gaze into your
partner's eyes for three minutes."

(ALARM RINGS)
Oh!

I was trying
to communicate with you.

Really?

What were you communicating?

I was giving off intentions.

I want to show you
that I'm on your team

and that I'm with you for you.

I'm with you, so...

(SARA READS)

"This next task will test
your ability to trust each other.

"For this task you must
reveal your latest correspondence

"on the device you use most,
your phone."

I haven't given you a reason
not to trust me so what's the point?

So, you feel strongly
about doing it.

Yeah, I do.

MAN: Alright, Timmy,
what's going on, buddy?

How are you doing, buddy?

Tried to take her on three dates

and she's just
blown me out of the water.

Like, just flaked me
all three times.

He actually didn't
even plan anything.

Like, he didn't actually say, "We're
going here, we're doing this."

He just said,
"Let's do something on Sunday."

No, it was like, "You're booked out
from 2pm, wear something nice."

No, you didn't.
Yes, I did!

That was the third...
No, you can't shut me down.

Don't yell at me. Don't yell at me.
You're shutting me down.

Don't (BLEEP) yell at me.
You're not letting me have a voice.

You're not letting me have a voice.

Don't you ever (BLEEP) yell at me!

I'm going
to give you the opportunity now

to tell Tim
what you did last weekend...

..'cause
I'm not protecting you anymore.

Yeah, I met up with my ex.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

No. Not OK.

I just feel heartbroken.

JAYDEN: So, you have essentially
cheated on Tim.

I have never,
ever cheated on a partner

and I can (BLEEP) attest to that.

CASSANDRA: Oh, my gosh.

Sara, her history is shady.

Her actions are shady.

She says she cares about Tim,
she doesn't.

She cares about one person only
and that is herself.

I wanted to make it clear that,
like,

I know that what I've done is wrong

and my priority
is making it up to him

because I want us
to be a partnership again.

I'm open to that. I am.

And I want to give you that chance.

(SOBS)

Ola, ola.

JOHN: Alright, well,
I'm not gonna muck around.

I mean, I'm seeing two people in
front of me right now

that are very different.

Yeah, we're having the best time.
It's been great.

What's changed?

And who's changed it?

I mean, I feel like Sara's really
put in a lot of hard yards in

over the last couple of weeks.

She's really shown me
that she wants to be here.

I just, like, I always
wanna be around him now.

Everything's clicking,
everything's working...

Mmm.

..and it's just
getting better and better.

Oh, we can see it.
(BOTH LAUGH)

TIM: If I'm basing it
on the last couple of weeks,

it's been great.

But, like, the major part of the
experiment, it's just been rough.

I haven't felt really valued at all,
or appreciated.

Do I wanna be with someone
who's gonna make me feel like that?

Sara, it seems like it's been a
battle between my head and my heart.

But...

it's an easy decision
if I go with my heart.

(LAUGHS)

Tim, I don't know

if you'll ever understand
just how much I regret lying to you

about my ex,

and the setback on our relationship
this caused.

Seeing you hurt made me realise
what I had in front of me

and what I could be losing.

(GRUNTS)

I wanted to fight for us

and I'm so glad
that you gave me that chance.

Mmm.

She just lies.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

SARA: That's so (BLEEP) rude.

JOHN: Well, hold on. Hold on.

What makes you say that, Cass?

Everything out of her mouth
is a lie.

She lies
to make herself look better.

There's nothing honest about her.

How would you know that?
Do you know me?

You've just been playing games.

That's (BLEEP) bullshit.

Do you know my story?

Have you asked
a single personal question about me?

I don't want to get to know you,
trust me. I've seen enough.

Oh, babe, you actually haven't.
You've seen 1% of me.

Alright, guys, let me jump in.

Cassandra, I have got to ask you,

what is it about Sara
that gets under your skin?

She just lies.

She is just fake.

Everything out of her mouth is fake.

(FRAUGHT MUSIC)

You just lie.

Every time I talk to you
you're actually the nastiest person.

SARA: I never talked to you, Cass.

I actually never talked to you.

Never have spoken a word to you.

That's (BLEEP) bullshit. It's rude.

I don't know what your vendetta is

or why you care
so much about hating me.

You don't have a nice thing to say.

(LAUGHS)
SARA: You don't know me!

You've never spoken two words
outside of THIS conversation.

The character that you've displayed
though, that's why.

Oh, Michael, you shut up.

What she said has been true.
I saw right through you.

Shut up.

I came in at the beginning,
I thought you were pretty cool.

Then I saw the real you
and realised you're shit.

Here, here.
(LAUGHS)

SARA: Shut up.

You've been down my throat
this whole time.

You're not... You are not real,
you're not authentic.

You are the worst.

Oh!

(HARSH MUSIC)

(TUMULTUOUS MUSIC)

You're not... You are not real,
you're not authentic.

You are the worst.

Oh!

Everything out of her mouth is fake.

Trust is everything
in a relationship.

No trust, no relationship.

JOHN: Tim, do you trust Sara?

Um...

Yeah, we talked about it
a decent amount.

I can see that she really
regrets what she did

and she did work pretty hard
to make things right with me.

I feel like we have a little bit
to go still, to build on that.

How does it feel to hear that?

I definitely
made Tim feel some sort of way.

Like, I know that.
What way?

Yeah, I don't know. Like...

hurt, disappointment, betrayal.

Like, lack of trust.

It was a lot.
A lot that went on.

But I do know that, like,
when we did kind of push past it,

we progressively got better.

So, let's go there.

Where are you at in terms
of your relationship right now?

She's my wifey.

Are you planning a future?

What is it, Tim,
that you feel when you look at her?

We're planning a future together.

I feel really excited.

Like, any time I get to see Sara,

I feel like a little bit more
elevated, like, when I'm around her.

I feel like she really does
help me to be a better man.

Sara, what's your
take on the relationship,

where it is
and how you feel about Tim?

I feel like we've been, like,
just enjoying each other's company

and having fun,

and, like, just being, like,
playful and flirty, and fun.

And, you know, when
we see each other outside of this

it's like holidays
'cause then he comes and visits me,

we go out for dinners and...

The experiment was the experiment

and the time that we've had outside
of it is a different story as well.

I feel like we've gotten
to a good place,

and I'm just excited
to see where it goes.

Are you falling in love with him?

I am falling in love with Tim. Yeah.

(JOYFUL MUSIC)

You've certainly given us
plenty of surprises along the way.

You know, you get put together,

you seem like a great match.

You then start
fighting like cats and dogs.

One or both of you
want to leave at some stage.

But you actually then decide
to turn towards each other

and overcome it.

Do things differently.

You learn fast.

You reflect.
Yeah.

This experiment
has taught me SO much.

I've learnt SO much about myself,

about my myself in a relationship,

about what I need to work on.

Yeah. I feel very similar, you know.

Grateful for the opportunity really.

Now, with that being the case,

we wanted to say
thank you very much.

I mean, you are a couple

that decided
to commit after the experiment,

take it into the real world.

You're doing that now, day by day,
and we wish you all the very best.

Good luck, guys.
(CHEERING)

Alright. Let's bring up...

Eden and Jayden.
(CHEERING)

Hello.

Did you miss us?
(LAUGHS)

MEL: We did. We absolutely did.

We miss you.

And that's why
I thought I'd start off

with a little gift I got you guys.

Oh, no, I'm nervous.

EDEN: I don't even
know what this is.

Well, it's more of a souvenir, OK?

So, I was cleaning out the drawer
the other day...

Oh, I know what this is.

Here's a couple of Polaroids
from Intimacy Week.

That's me on the couch
with whipped cream and strawberries.

Oh, please.

So, that's for you.

That's for the film.
I die.

(LAUGHTER)

You might
need a bit of therapy after that.

I think I might. With Alexandra.

Yes.

Alright. So, we're in a good mood.

I love this.
(LAUGHS)

Yeah, we're always in a good mood.

How has it been since you've
been back in your real lives?

And how serious
is this relationship today?

It's not a relationship,
it's a marriage.

(LAUGHS)

It's a marriage, yes.

Do you see one another
as each other's life partner?

Mmm.
A hundred percent.

Definitely, yeah.

Let's get specific, shall we?

Oh, god.

How DO you feel about him?

I adore Jayden.
I'm just obsessed with him.

I get so excited
to see him every day.

He's the best.

What about you, Jayden?
What's the story?

What's the story? It's a love story.

The feelings for Eden, how strong
are they and what are they?

They're as strong as me, mate.

My feelings towards Eden,
world champ strength.

(CHUCKLES)

When I'm with her,

I feel like I can tell her
something, I won't be judged.

I can say, "Sorry,"
and she won't hold it against.

I don't know, there's a lot of love
and positive that I get from her.

A lot of the times it does
seem kind of effortless,

and it just happens so naturally.

ALESSANDRA: And so, future. Kids?

Dogs.
Dogs.

Both.
Both.

(LAUGHS)

But you are actively
having these conversations

about building a life and...
BOTH: Yeah.

..building family and all this.

Definitely, yeah.

I think the two of you have shown

that you CAN actually come together
with issues of trust,

with issues of, you know,
having a strict schedule,

and being fiercely independent.

You can actually get through it.

Just have to use the advice I guess.
Yeah.

Well, not everybody
really wants to hear from us.

Well, I didn't want to either,
to be honest.

I know. (LAUGHS) I know.
But yeah...

But it then comes down
to self-reflection.

Are you prepared to take it on,
look at your patterns and change

or are you just gonna do what you
always do and stay the same?

And then get
what you've always gotten

and that's nothing
but failed relationships.

Yeah.

You've thrown yourselves into it,
mankini and all.

(LAUGHS)

For us, this is why we do
the experiment,

for exactly what you guys
have right now.

So, thank you for everything
that you've given us.

Thank you guys.

Thank you guys for introducing us

because he's a gem
and I'm very grateful.

All the very best, guys, and...
Thank you, guys.

Thank you.
..continued success.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

Right. Let's get our next couple up.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Jack and Tori.

(APPLAUSE)

Oooh.

Fingers crossed, Jack?
Yeah, mate. (LAUGHS)

Does that mean you're coming in

a little bit worried
about all of this?

Oh...
A little bit of everything, mate.

What are you crossing
your fingers for?

That it's painless.
(LAUGHS)

You should know by now,

when you hit that couch,
it's all about home truths.

NARRATOR: Coming up...

I want to leave.

..what causes Tori and Jack
to storm out of the reunion?

TORI: Let's go.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Yes.
JACK: Right now?

Yes.
Alright.

What the (BLEEP) was that?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

JOHN: So, tell me about
your relationship.

At this moment,
how are the two of you?

We are great.

We are in the best place
we've ever been

and I think having the time away
from this worked wonders for us.

JACK: Yeah.

After final vows,
Jack came straight to Melbourne.

He spent a week with me in Melbourne
and it was incredible.

We needed time away from this.

These group get-togethers are yuck.

I don't like them.

But it hasn't impacted us.

Not at all.

This experiment has certainly thrown
a lot of challenges at you

as a couple,

both from the group

but also we've certainly held you
to account as well, as experts.

Let's now take a look back
on your time in the experiment

to see some of these experiences.

Can I close my eyes?

(LAUGHS)

(BRIGHT MUSIC PLAYS)

(LAUGHS)

Hi.
Hey. How are you?

I'm Tori.
Jack.

Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.

TORI: I'm impressed.
He just ticks all the boxes.

She'll challenge me a little bit

but I definitely reckon I'll sort
her out and we'll have a good time.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

There's no sexual sparks
flying for me at the moment.

I don't think we're sexually...

Well, we're not sexually connected
at all.

He had a girlfriend a month before
and broke up with her

and was moving overseas for a job.

RICHARD: The article said

that Jack had a job in America
for three months,

which was a lie.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

You were in a relationship
with someone else

while applying
for Married At First Sight?

JACK: Yes.

Has it left you with any questions
about Jack?

No.

I've got no reason
not to trust Jack.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

I didn't have massive sexual energy
with her when I met her.

I just didn't have a spark of

"I want to have sex with this girl
ASAP."

I'm not ready
to have sex with Tori yet.

EDEN: Oh...

LAUREN: Apparently, Jack said

if there is a couple-swap situation
within the experiment,

the boys have permission to be with
his wife because he doesn't want to.

Did you say it
or did you not say it?

I did not say I wasn't attracted...
So he's lying?

I'm not talking to you, Lauren!
Shut your mouth!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Muzzle your woman!

SARA: Muzzle your woman?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

JOHN: I've heard
some things in these experiments

that have repulsed me.

That was one of the worst things
I've heard.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

He's showing you a portion
of who he is as a man

and he's showing you what happens

in terms of his relationship
toward women

and his attitude toward women.

I don't agree with that.

EDEN: Oh, come on.

Her affection
is probably surpassing mine.

And I do have concerns
that I'm gonna let you down.

If you want to go, like, go now.

Jack's been, like, all really, like,
flirty with me.

He kind of lightly smacked my butt.

And then the second thing was,
when we were at the dinner party,

he, like, kissed my neck.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

TIMOTHY: You had the (BLEEP)
audacity to walk in and go,

"Oh, what, are the whales here
today?"

It's a (BLEEP) joke!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
SARA: That's not a joke.

Whales insinuates fat.

Like, I stick by you
and I'll continue to stick by you.

It's admirable
and it's very attractive.

You're welcome.

TIM: (LAUGHS) Oh, my god.

Do you think about how we'd navigate
long distance?

I don't mind, like, space.

I would never say "You need to come
and see me every single weekend."

I'm not saying you need to.
I'm saying it would be nice.

I would like to have you around.

You can't have it all.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

It looks like a fake relationship,
not to us...

It's not fake!
..to everyone that's watching, Tori!

And that's fine,

but I'm not gonna cut and run
because he's done a few shit things.

SARA: Like, ten.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Like, ten shit things.

He knows he's (BLEEP) up.

The problem is
that you don't feel anything

towards the shitty things...

You can't tell me how I feel!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

I cannot be arsed with
these (BLEEP) people any longer.

JONATHAN: Oh!

JAYDEN: (BLEEP)!

(EVOCATIVE CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYS)

(READS) "Tori, I'm concerned
that our biggest connecting factor

"may have been the brutal
environment of the experiment,

"where our loyal personalities
bonded over having each other's back

"and picking each other up
where need be...

"like teammates, not lovers.

"We are not in love..."

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

"..so how can I commit to you

"and ask you to uproot and move
your life to the Gold Coast?"

SARA: What?

"Moving forward with you
is a massive risk...

"and it's a risk
I'm 100% ready to take."

(EXHALES)
(LAUGHS)

TIM: No, it was weird.

Let me kiss you.

(KISS)

(TENSE MUSIC)

What's going on for you right now,
Tori?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

I want to leave.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

What's going on for you right now,
Tori?

What's making you emotional?

To, like, sit and watch...

Like, the lowlights.

Yeah, the really shitty times,
it's...

Yeah, it's just... It's confronting.

Jack, when you watched that...

what were your thoughts and feelings
around it?

Definitely...
You call it highlights.

It's probably a lot of
the lowlights.

Yeah. For sure.

Like... Yeah, it's shit to watch.

You certainly gave Tori,
it's fair to say,

plenty of challenges
throughout the experiment.

Essentially, poor choices,
actions or words,

just frankly dropping the ball
all over the place.

You came into the experiment

and there's rumours that you've got
an ex on the outside.

You told Johnno to
"Muzzle your woman."

There was a comment about,
if there's a couple swap, you know,

someone else could sleep with Tori.

Some of the things you've done,
Jack,

absolutely
have taken our breath away.

You know, I'm getting uncomfortable
bringing all of this up.

But, you know, this is what happens
at this final meeting.

We have to hold you accountable
'cause you've got to learn.

But when I talk about
all these things,

and I haven't mentioned all of them,

what did you learn, Jack,
about yourself

and essentially relationships
through this?

I think I've got to think
before I speak sometimes.

I think I, yeah, talk too quick
and react...be more reactional.

Like, I probably need to, yeah,
be a little bit more patient

and process things
before I react or respond.

What was the toughest part of it?

I think the legitimacy...
Great question.

..of us
was under question from week one.

Explain that.

Well, no-one believed
that this was real

and that our relationship
or connection was fake...

Why do you think
people think you're fake?

I think it was because
a few comments like, you know,

we don't show anything,
we don't show any emotion

and it was all very much like
I'm really unbothered

and I just...guess...
floating through this.

We really enjoy one another and
they just didn't get to see that.

Yeah.

Now, I'd counter that by saying

that perhaps the group questioned
your relationship

because Jack was making very poor
choices and making mistakes

and you, being a very strong person,
seemed to just stand beside him,

shut it down,
even at times be a shield for him

and people found that very hard
to get their heads around.

Mmm.

Are you able to see that,

that they see a strong woman
but they're not seeing that...

being strong in that moment
around that poor behaviour?

Um...

In my mind, I know who Jack is
and I just...

I don't want to hear it.

Jack was always, like, a really good
person to kind of confide in.

I have never experienced someone
with so much logic.

Logic? What?

He's got sometimes too much logic.

LAUREN: I think he's lacking logic.
TIMOTHY: No, it's just defend again.

Alright, let her... Let her finish.

We're not here to, you know,
keep everyone else happy.

We're doing us and we're happy.

And so, we just held strong
within that.

After all of that confronting
footage you've watched tonight

of your intimate partner...

do you sit there now
with any reservations?

In all honesty...

not at all.

No.

(TENSE MUSIC)

It has no impact
on our relationship.

It doesn't affect us.

And let me tell you,
the best time I've had with Jack

is when we've been away from this

and the minute
that we come back to this...

it turns into
an absolute shit fight.

Well, is there anything
that you want to finally say, Tori?

I have nothing to say.

Yeah. I have...

I don't have anything to say.

(TENSE MUSIC)

I want to leave.

Let's go.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Yes.
Right now?

Yes.
Alright.

I want to go.
Yeah, it's too...

I'm not (BLEEP) staying here.
I'll take you home.

I'm done with this.

TORI: (BLEEP) bullshit.

TORI: (BLEEP) bullshit.

Let's get our final couple
on the couch tonight.

Lucinda and Timothy.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
MAN: Good luck.

Oh, all the colour.
LUCINDA: Yeah.

I love it.
The lost Wiggle over here.

Yeah.
(LAUGHS) The Wiggle!

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle,
wiggle, wiggle.

Well, it's great to see
the two of you.

How are you doing?
We're good.

Yeah, we're both good
since we've got out, yeah.

It's not jail, Tim.

(LAUGHTER)

Well, you certainly look it.

We were observing you
at the dinner party

and it was just quite gorgeous...

Yeah.
..to watch the two of you.

How's it been for you
since the experiment ended? Lucinda?

Well, Tim and I speak
a couple of times a week.

Yeah.
More than some married couples.

Yeah, I know.
(LAUGHTER)

Especially when it comes to
emotional things,

I'll give her a call
and, yeah, she's always got...

She's always got good advice.

Well, the two of you bonded
quite deeply

on that emotional level, didn't you?
Yeah.

And certainly, you know,

went through a breakthrough
for yourself...

Right.

..and Lucinda was there by your
side.

I can see why you would go to her
for emotional things now.

Yeah. And that's continued on
outside the experiment, for sure.

Mmm.
Yeah.

Lucinda, can you describe the
connection that the two of you have?

Oh...

I feel quite emotional now

but, yeah, I just, you know,

I see Tim,
just the pain and the struggle

and, you know, the deep loss

and what I love about Tim

is he just makes the world smile
and laugh around him,

despite all of his loss.

I just respect that so much.

Mmm.

You know, everybody he meets, he
finds common ground and, you know,

uses humour

and he cares a lot, you know.

Once he loves you, you know,
you're there.

You're there in his heart.

I mean, Tim associates
with the Tin Man

but I, you know...he's actually got
a ginormous heart.

Yeah, he's a good bloke.

EDEN: Aw!

Tim, do you feel like
you're a different man now

than you were
when you entered the experiment?

For sure. Yeah.
Mmm.

Mostly not as hard as I was.

Well, you probably wouldn't have
worn a purple T-shirt back then.

Right. Yeah.
I bought that for him.

Yeah, she bought it.

(LAUGHTER)

Tell us about that.
What is different?

Oh, look, there's a lot of
emotional things obviously

that I've been dealing with
and dealt with

and, you know, it's OK...
it's OK not to be OK.

And Lu showed me that.

Just softened me a little bit,
you know.

But she's showed me just,
you know, let a few people in.

Papa, you've changed so much
since the start of the experiment

and I blame Mama right there.

She's fricken... You've grown.

You've touched your emotions,
you're loving, you're caring.

At the start, everyone hated you...
(LAUGHTER)

..and everyone loves you,
you know, like...

Everybody's been part of that.

No, don't be silly, Mama.

You're the one who did all the work.
Yeah.

Tim's done it himself. And you guys.
The whole thing.

Look, the experiment...
It's been awesome.

The experiment's been
an amazing experience.

We've loved it.
I've loved every part of it.

You know, the process itself
has been quite amazing.

Well, we would love
to take a look back...

Oh, shit.
..at your incredible journey.

(APPLAUSE)
Shall we do that together?

I'm a little bit horrified.
Yeah.

This is brutal.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

LUCINDA: First impressions -
mmm, solid.

And nice bum.
(LAUGHTER)

He's such a big hunk of spunk.

I was actually just checking
him out, being a total perv.

(LAUGHS)

Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick,
tick, tick, tick, tick...

And so much more to discover.

WOMAN: Frankincense, rose petals...

TIMOTHY: I wasn't...
most probably not in the moment.

I was thinking,
"Where did they get the wing from?"

Like, was it a sacrificial chicken
or did you just find that wing?

(LAUGHTER)

Timothy, you may kiss the bride!
Aw!

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

(BLOWS KISSES)

Yeah, it was three. (LAUGHS)

You're most probably wondering
why I don't have any family here.

(EXHALES)

Unfortunately, Mum, who was,
yeah, my best friend,

passed away...17 years ago

and...along with my little brother.

COLLINS: Wow.

And then I lost Dad
about six weeks ago.

EDEN: Oh...

And I realised I was alone.

TIMOTHY: It's not easy
to be vulnerable. Men don't cry.

This is brutal.

That's what we're taught.

Here we are.

I do like having my own space.

I'm so excited to do this with you.
Yeah.

(LAUGHTER)

Starting a relationship, it's like
starting a fire, you know.

If you've got a little spark there

and you just get your leaf blower
on it and go... (IMITATES BLOWING)

it's out.

Time for a KitKat break.

I've got a (BLEEP) Ryobi leaf
blower blowing on my little flame.

(LAUGHTER)

(KISSES)

The 36-volt.

(LAUGHS)

Do you have any boundaries in sex?

Anywhere that a doctor, you know,
really says "Just relax."

(LAUGHTER)

How about after-care?

Generally, I'll go get a can of Coke
and roll over and go to sleep.

(BOTH LAUGH)
Like...

What are you doing to build romance
or connection with me?

I don't feel there's much...
I know...

..any sexual tension or flirting.

Just give it some time.

Yeah, but you just don't like hugs
or touch at all.

Like, time for what?

I don't (BLEEP) know.
Maybe you'll get used to it.

(GROANS)

I think that you need to sort of

not get your tits in a tangle
maybe sometimes

and we'd love to see a little bit
more sort of action on your behalf.

Yeah.

Could be a one-night stand or could
be anything, but just try it.

Well, he should!

(LAUGHTER)

How are you?
Been better.

It's losing the family and...

Yeah, and the biggest thing
I lost was myself.

(CRIES) I actually can't do this.

(CRIES)

(TIMOTHY CRIES)

I seem like a mouthpiece sometimes
and I...

you know, I try and make a joke
of pretty much everything

'cause it's the way
that I deal with things.

Lucinda's a rock. Yeah.

Hey...

I never seen that side of Tim.

I just feel like so many walls
came down then.

It was a real turnaround.

I've been getting hugs every day,
heartfelt.

ANDREA: Aw!

Like, there's just energy...
a change.

He's such a gorgeous man.

OTHERS: Aw!

(CHEERING)

Yeah.

Are you alright?
Yeah. Yeah.

(CRYING)

Aw!

You are.

Mmm.

(CRIES)

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

It was just such a treasured time
as he was starting to open up.

These homestays
are really disappointing.

I get the vibe
he really can't be bothered.

I need to have fun, enjoy it...

Well, then, you know what,
then absolutely, then be free

and just be happy,
because it ain't my life.

I've got problems.
I don't need to look for them.

I'm just... (BLEEP).

I don't know what you want.

I'm just... I can't...
There's too many words.

Hey, Tim, it's OK...

I just don't want to (BLEEP) talk!

(BLEEP) me!

LUCINDA: The Tin Man is back.

I deserve better than this.

I do.

This is not what I want for me.

It's OK. This is... This is good.

I do want to apologise
for my part in it.

My frustration comes from me.

I've got nothing but respect
for you.

I was really touched
by Tim's apology.

There is a lot of respect and regard
there and I like Tim a lot

and it's sad
it sort of didn't work out

but respectfully, I've had to
take my heart off the table.

(READS) "Many tears I've shed
from hilarity and from pain.

"Thank god for the trusty sex toys
that kept me rather sane."

(LAUGHTER)

"You've helped me grow
and strengthen up

"and attune to what is true.

"My doors are always open
and I love you."

Thanks, Lu. I really appreciate it.

(APPLAUSE)

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

WOMAN: Whoo!

(UPLIFTING MUSIC PLAYS)

MEL: Aw!

Lucinda,
what does Timothy mean to you?

Oh, he... I love Tim.

Yeah, he's the best.

Look at this face.

(LAUGHTER)
It's gorgeous.

We just have a laugh
and we've shared so much

and, yeah, I think we understand
each other.

Yeah.

I just feel happy.
Yeah.

And Timothy, what would you like
to say to Lu?

(PENSIVE MUSIC PLAYS)

(EXHALES)

You know, I look back
on the experiment

and look back at our time

and I've said to you before,

I wouldn't actually...
wanted to have done the experiment

with anyone else.

It's good.

The connection between you
is obvious.

Yeah.

For sure. Yeah.

Like I said,
we still talk every couple of days.

We're pretty on track... We're...

Yeah.
It's amazing.

Yeah.
So there's hope?

(RESOUNDING MUSIC)

It's good.

The connection between you
is obvious.

Yeah.

Like I said,
we still talk every couple of days.

We're pretty on track... We're...
Yeah.

It's amazing.
Yeah.

So there's hope?

For sure. Yeah.

WOMAN: Aw!
TRISTAN: Aw, Papa!

CASS: Whoo-hoo!

I always said
it wasn't an ending of something

but the beginning of something.

OTHERS: Aw!
Yep.

MEL: Wonderful!
ALESSANDRA: That makes me so happy!

(APPLAUSE)
Whoo!

Mmm!

(APPLAUSE)
(OTHERS EXCLAIM)

JOHN: Watch this space.

MEL: Tim, the self-development that
we've seen in you and the strength,

the building of strength
of you as a person

has been so wonderful to watch.

LUCINDA: Yeah.

I love that for you
and I'm so proud of you.

Thank you.

I've gotta say, Lucinda,

for everybody that we've met
in this experiment,

having you here has been such a joy.

You are such a unique person,
so warm, positive, open to everyone.

It's been so wonderful
to see the impact that you've had

not just on your partner
but on the entire group and on us.

Thank you, gorgeous.

We really appreciate it.
WOMAN: We love you.

TRISTAN: We love you.
Thank you.

And thank you guys.

I think I got the perfect husband
for me.

He's gorgeous.

I think you guys could all concur
that this fella is a total spunk.

That's great.

(APPLAUSE)
Yep.

Thank you both.
Thanks, guys.

Thanks very much.
It's been a wonderful time.

Thank you so much.
Appreciate it.

(UPLIFTING MUSIC)

Beautiful journey.
My journey. (LAUGHS)

JOHN: Now, after ten seasons of
MAFS,

we wondered what more could be
revealed here on this couch.

What we now know is

the unpredictable nature
of this experiment

cannot be underestimated

as two strangers come together

and navigate a relationship
at breakneck speed.

We have absolutely loved
seeing you all dig deep

and give yourselves over
to this experiment.

To those of you
that have walked away in love...

we wish you all the very best.

Now, for those of you
that are leaving here single,

we hope that you can take all that
you've learned in this experiment

and apply those positive changes
to your future relationships.

Thanks again
to each and every one of you.

Congratulations. You did it.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
ALESSANDRA: Congratulations.

Well done, guys.

(LOW-LEVEL CONVERSATION)

Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thank you, thank you.
