NARRATOR: Four weeks ago...

I think I'm gonna vomit.

..20 courageous singles took the ultimate leap of faith...

Hi. Heaven to Betsy.

..and love...

Here, in front of everyone that we both love...

I'm ready to embark on this journey with you, my wife.

..by marrying a complete stranger.

Filled with love, laughter and happiness.

They've lived together...

You feel like you're on top of the world.

CYRELL: Ready? NIC: No.

..learning about one another's loves and likes.

I think my face was so excited.

I think my face was so excited.

Strong bonds have formed...

I love you. JULES: I am so happy.

I'm the luckiest woman in the world.

Mwah.

..and been broken.

It doesn't even bother you that I'm sitting here crying?

MARK: Nuh.

A couples holiday to the Gold Coast...

Oh, ooh, ah.

..saw Ines and Sam...

Finally alone.

..go behind their partners' backs...

Should we bail? Yep.

..and give in to temptation.

SAM: I know what Ines's intentions are

and I'd love to facilitate those intentions.

Then, at a fiery dinner party...

Then, at a fiery dinner party...

Oh, my god, my mind is blown!

..the rumour mill was running hot...

So, this is what I've heard.

..but Ines and Sam kept their cool...

So, I'm a liar?

..while Heidi and Mike's relationship...

I don't know how to make Heidi happy.

..went into meltdown.

I'm, like, closing the door.

The trust is broken.

Tonight...

I tell you what I have been stinging to do is 'yes'!

..Cam surfs the couch of love...

Oh, yes, he did.

..at a commitment ceremony...

..at a commitment ceremony...

Elizabeth and Sam.

..that will rock the experiment like never before.

Bronson's gonna hate me.

Secrets will be revealed.

Yeah, there's times I've caught up with Ines.

What? What?

Lies exposed.

I took your word at face value.

And two cheating spouses...

Was this a mistake? No.

You've ruined a marriage and you're sitting there

trying to lie, (BLEEP).

..will finally face the consequences of their betrayal.

(BELL TOLLS)

It's the morning after the dinner party.

Commitment ceremony tonight.

Excited? Yeah.

And while some couples are closer than ever before...

Your make-up looks good. Ooh, thanks, darl.

Aren't you happy this week it's not us with the drama?

Yeah, finally.

..it's a very different story for Ines and Bronson.

After hearing the gossip at last night's dinner party,

Bronson is putting on a brave face.

Me and Ines have definitely had our ups and downs

Me and Ines have definitely had our ups and downs

but a rumour is just a rumour.

Until it's a proven fact, you shouldn't even worry about it.

Sam said he didn't do it. I believe him.

If a mate says he didn't do it, he didn't do it.

I didn't get a chance to talk to Ines, but I'm pretty sure...

You know, she's an honest girl.

If it was true, she would've told me.

She's got nothing to gain from lying.

My gut says I want to stay.

We've made progress.

From where we were at the start to where we are now is phenomenal.

I want to push forward.

I didn't sign up for happiness, I signed up for marriage.

I didn't sign up for happiness, I signed up for marriage.

As the couples prepare for tonight's commitment ceremony,

the rumour mill is still in full swing.

JULES: This rumour of Ines and Sam has escalated.

Oh, it's just crazy.

I have no idea what the truth is.

CAM: It seems like it's Chinese whispers.

They could've just had a normal chat in the pool and the sauna,

and then it's grew into a making-out session.

Next thing you know,

they're just making love all over this whole hotel.

they're just making love all over this whole hotel.

Like, it's just ridiculous.

MICK: So, Rumourgate put to bed

or is it still alive and kickin', do you reckon?

I think the rumour's absolute bogus.

Ines said they didn't happen,

Sam said they didn't happen, so they didn't happen.

So, that's it, shut the gate.

Ines is one of my really good girlfriends in this experiment,

so, I just think it's fabricated and it's Chinese whispers.

It's...

If these people invested as much time in their relationships as they

invested in everybody else's, I'm sure they'd be so much more happier.

NIC: Do you think something's going on with Sam and Ines?

NIC: Do you think something's going on with Sam and Ines?

I don't think rumours start from nowhere,

so, yeah, I think something's going on.

There's too many things.

Like, even the mere fact

when Ning said that she's seen them in Jess's apartment together,

like, I can't imagine a grown woman with three kids making that up.

Like, she benefits nothing from it.

Let's be honest, Ines,

she's made comments about group sex or, you know, switching partners.

A woman that's openly admitted that she's happy to do those things,

of course people are gonna feel uncomfortable.

Do you know what?

I reckon, eventually, the truth's gonna come out.

I reckon, eventually, the truth's gonna come out.

Oh, yeah.

And everyone that has denied it or showed, like, denied

any involvement in it is just gonna look like the biggest shit talker.

No longer sharing an apartment with her husband Sam,

Elizabeth is apprehensive about what tonight might bring.

I'm dreading going into the commitment ceremony

because I'm hurt that someone I'm meant to be in this whole thing with

because I'm hurt that someone I'm meant to be in this whole thing with

keeps just, like, putting me down.

I came into this experiment looking for love

and all that seems to have happened is drama.

So, what are these rumours?

I don't think he's being honest.

The fact that he's not attracted to me.

Yet he didn't choose to stay in the first week,

Yet he didn't choose to stay in the first week,

he chose to stay the second week, that doesn't add up.

It'd be nice to get answers.

For Sam, tonight's commitment ceremony can't come soon enough.

I just can't even stand to look at Elizabeth one more second.

I've been completely real and up front with Elizabeth.

I've spent longer than I thought I was gonna spend with Elizabeth

and tried to open up and find that connection

and tried to open up and find that connection

and be one...you know, be a couple, and it's failing miserably.

You know, I've told Elizabeth I wasn't sexually attracted to her.

I've told Elizabeth I'm not feeling a mental connection,

I'm not feeling that love back,

I'm not feeling it in any way, shape or form.

I wanted to meet someone.

I wanted to find someone that would complement my life

and be able to grow with and do what I want to do.

Ines is more my type than Elizabeth, that's for sure.

Ines is more my type than Elizabeth, that's for sure.

Definitely, she's a beautiful woman.

I feel like you're so little.

We're both feeling very sexually attracted to each other

and it makes it difficult to, obviously, hold back on that.

But, in the same token, when I had a chat to Ines about our plans,

at the dinner party,

she was coming on very strong very fast

and she needs me to commit to her long-term straight up off the bat.

and she needs me to commit to her long-term straight up off the bat.

That's what Ines wants.

It's only been early days, I know, but, I guess, yeah,

I'm not so sure about Ines and I outside of this experiment.

What do you do?

INES: I came here to fall in love.

I came here for, like, a legitimate husband.

I can actually really see myself with Sam.

Like, long-term, outside of the experiment,

I could really see us together.

Oh...

He's that hot, right?

He is that hot and he is that charming.

INES: I like Sam as a person.

I think he's great.

Like, not just on the outside

but he's actually, like, a really high-quality person on the inside.

Like, I'm willing to, you know, really make some sacrifices

when it comes to Sam.

Like, I can totally understand why

being placed in this experiment with Elizabeth would turn him off it.

I have been so mad at how hard I have had to, like, silence myself.

I have been so mad at how hard I have had to, like, silence myself.

Every time, like, I see you when I walk into a room, I, like, die.

And then I have, like, six orgasms in my head.

I just want to, like, cut full ties with Bronson.

There's no chemistry there.

There's no sexual attraction.

There's no physical attraction.

I have no intention of ever telling Bronson

exactly what happened with Sam and I, like, ever.

exactly what happened with Sam and I, like, ever.

Yeah, it was, like, my favourite date of all-time.

Everything happens as it should.

Yeah, so, I'm gonna be saying 'leave'

and then we can, you know, be together outside of the experiment.

Full on.

I'm praying I get asked to go on that couch first

at the commitment ceremony just so I can, like, end it,

be done with it, sit back down and just, like, focus on what's next.

be done with it, sit back down and just, like, focus on what's next.

So, what, we just leave our partners

and then just go, "Oh, yeah, we want to be together," sort of thing?

Yes.

Since they met at the altar four weeks ago,

our couples have had a fast-tracked insight into their partners.

At this stage, it's crucial

each participant is honest with themselves

and takes responsibility for any behavioural patterns

that might be getting in the way of true love.

that might be getting in the way of true love.

MIKE: It was a misunderstanding.

It wasn't a misunderstanding when we discussed it.

Things that are small and petty

are getting blown up, you know, disproportionately.

It wasn't my intention to, you know, have that conversation.

But you did and you started it, so...

But I didn't. You did start it, you did.

Going into the dinner party,

Mike and I had discussed at length

that we would approach Jessika together

that we would approach Jessika together

about what she said about Mike,

and then he ended up going and approaching her on his own.

I thought that might be the case.

How did this start, because I just saw you walk over here?

No, I just came to get a champagne.

I'm really angry at you

because you just came over here and talked to her,

and we spoke about that three times, that you would get me beforehand.

I didn't know that we were gonna start talking about this.

JOHN: Oh, Heidi's ropeable. TRISHA: Yeah, look.

Mike's had an agreement here with Heidi and he's broken it again.

Yes. Yeah.

How many times does she have to say, "We've gotta be a team.

How many times does she have to say, "We've gotta be a team.

"Stick to the boundaries"?

This isn't catastrophic.

We can bring this back. It is. We broke up last night.

We broke up.

So, how is this not catastrophic?

MIKE: Do you want to have a future with me?

HEIDI: I don't trust you anymore.

What? Really?

You don't trust me?

Oh, my goodness. (BLEEP).

It's that bad? It's that bad.

Trust me now.

We had a plan and you (BLEEP) the plan.

I feel like it's over. That's what I feel.

You told me you didn't trust me.

Now, that is either a really effective way to hurt someone

or it's just, you really mean it...

I really mean it. So, you meant it.

That's a huge statement to make about a person in a relationship.

To me, that's...that's the end.

If you don't trust someone, you've got nothing.

If you don't trust someone, you've got nothing.

This is, like, break up or stay together.

This is like divorce.

I don't know, I'm just going round in circles.

I can't make sense of it.

It's a tragedy.

It would be a (BLEEP) tragedy if she walked out of here right now

and just said, "Nuh, leave."

We can get past it, though, can't we?

I just don't know, that's the point.

I don't feel like he did the right thing by me

and I don't know how to come back from that.

I just...I don't know how.

I just...I don't know how.

We're in troubled waters.

I don't feel like I've betrayed her.

I just... I'm stuck in this headspace

where I don't feel like I've betrayed her trust,

but she thinks I have, so, I mean, I don't know, I don't know where...

I don't know where the conclusion is in this.

I tell you what, I wish I didn't care about her like I do.

I wish I didn't, 'cause it would make life so much easier, but I do.

Hi! Hi, sweetheart, how are you?

Hi! Hi, sweetheart, how are you?

Alright, gals.

As our couples meet up prior to the commitment ceremony...

Here we are, commitment ceremony. Far out.

NIC: Another week.

..it's their final chance to weigh up the pros and cons

of their relationships

and evaluate whether they'll stay or leave the experiment.

Cyrell, like, this is a new side of you.

Yeah, nah, we've been good.

You seemed happy last night.

You guys were getting along great guns.

Yeah, yeah, we've had a really good week, actually.

Have you packed your bags? No.

Good.

Good.

Nuh, Jess and I are going alright.

We had a bit of a...bit of a barney early in the week on the Gold Coast.

I got asked the question, "Have you guys been intimate?"

I thought, "Well, yeah."

Then I told her that I'd told someone,

and, yeah, she completely bloody lost her shit.

To me, this whole thing just looks like

that you've just gotten what you've wanted

and now you're gonna go and discuss it with the boys.

You've hit the jackpot, yep, cool,

and I'm gonna go and discuss it with the boys.

That's what it looks like.

What, do you think you have the right

to go and discuss something that happened between you and I?

to go and discuss something that happened between you and I?

No.

It's broken my trust in him.

I'm pissed off.

Are you guys good, like, after the Queensland thing?

Look, after Mick went and told everybody our intimate details,

I am suffering a lot with trust issues with Mick.

That might've just been a hurdle, you know, for us,

but we reached the point of being intimate

and I thought, you know, righto,

you know, we've jumped the hurdle, we're in the bloody water now,

but...yeah, since then, it's been like Sunday trading, mate.

but...yeah, since then, it's been like Sunday trading, mate.

Bloody...yeah, shop closed, see you tomorrow sort of jazz, so, yeah.

If you're lacking that, like, you know,

where you guys want each other, it's hard 'cause you do just...

you are gonna, like, feel, like, friendzoned.

Yeah, give Mick an inch, he takes a mile.

We were like...we were in the bedroom, and Mick was kissing me

and I was kissing Mick back 'cause, you know, he has asked for affection

and that's what I was giving him, and then he starts,

like, full trying to make out with me, and I'm like, "Stop."

Actual saliva came out of his mouth onto my chest.

Actual saliva came out of his mouth onto my chest.

Get him a bib.

It's just frustrating.

Just even, like, the hold hand, just kissin' randomly at home,

and some days I can't even get bloody close to her.

She'll push back most of the time.

So, yeah, I don't know, I don't know which way I'm going tonight.

Going into the commitment ceremony, it's just a little bit hard.

And, also, Mick did lose my trust

by going and blurting our private details to everybody.

Mick and I are not on the same page of how we feel about it.

Mick and I are not on the same page of how we feel about it.

We are very different people.

I don't know if we both want the same things.

Do I stay? Do I leave? I'm not sure.

It's a bloody tough decision.

Affection's crucial in a relationship,

otherwise you're sort of...you may as well be dating your friend.

I came here to find love.

We've had a tough week. Yep.

The wheels have really come off.

The wheels have really come off.

We broke up. Oh, what?

We broke up at the dinner party.

MIKE: I've started questioning myself altogether.

Maybe I am really insensitive.

Maybe I have said things that have genuinely upset her

and so they should have,

because they were really that bad, but I don't think they're that bad.

Have you made your mind up on what you're gonna do?

I still don't know. I literally do not know.

I don't know what I'm gonna write.

The thing I'm struggling with

is that I want us to figure it out but I don't think she does.

is that I want us to figure it out but I don't think she does.

I really feel like she doesn't.

You know, whatever I'm trying, I can't make her happier.

The biggest thing is that I don't trust him

and I don't know how to come back from that.

Mike doesn't realise that we are pretty much over.

If we both wrote 'leave' tonight, well, then, that's it.

(BELL TOLLS)

The commitment ceremony is just hours away

The commitment ceremony is just hours away

and our couples are still struggling with the difficult decision

of whether to stay or leave the experiment.

However, Ines and Sam's alleged affair

is still a major talking point.

So, if the rumours come up again tonight,

and everything's, like, brought back up to the surface tonight...

I don't owe anyone anything. I get it, babe.

Like, will I see the majority of people here after this experiment?

No, don't even talk to me.

Don't look at me. Yeah.

The thing is, girls, like, we came here to find love.

The thing is, girls, like, we came here to find love.

Correct.

But, if I knew that my husband was going, chasing another woman,

I can't deal with that.

You know, we're supposed to be girl code,

like, respect each other, don't sleep with each other's man...

Some females don't know shit about the girl code, dude.

Some females' code is their hoo-ha code, and that's about it.

They focus on that.

Tonight will be a very interesting night.

I mean, I feel like I'm owed some answers, to be honest.

Until it's proven, it's just a bloody rumour,

Until it's proven, it's just a bloody rumour,

so it's not worth even bloody paying attention to.

And Sam said 'no',

so, you know, we've got no reason not to believe Sam.

Absolutely, absolutely.

I haven't had a chance to ask Ines, though.

So, she ran off halfway through the dinner and I haven't had a chance

to speak to her since, so I'll ask her tonight.

We've had our ups and downs but I don't think she's that sort of girl.

But how much is there actually behind the rumour?

NIC: What about you, big fella?

Being around Elizabeth is just this...

There's this negative cloud and it sort of drags me down

There's this negative cloud and it sort of drags me down

to acting a way that's not really myself.

With those rumours, I put it on Ines when she walked in.

I said, "What's the story?"

She said, "Nothing." I've asked you before.

You've said to that rumour that it's not true, and that's all we can do.

And that's it.

At the dinner party,

Ines and Sam discussed leaving their partners

to be together outside the experiment.

Yeah, so, I'm gonna be saying 'leave'

Yeah, so, I'm gonna be saying 'leave'

and then we can, you know, be together outside of the experiment.

Full on.

But a new development has Sam's concerns growing.

After the dinner party, I basically got messages saying, you know,

she wants to leave the experiment,

hasn't wanted to be with anyone ever so bad in her life.

Calling me "bub" all the time,

and saying, "Can I come home with you after this?

"I don't want to be without you."

"I don't want to be without you."

It just keeps going on and on.

That she'd live in a bin as long as she was with me,

and, you know, all this sort of stuff.

Like, "I'm horny." "Bub, I want to see you.

"Where are you? Where are you staying? I want to come over."

I've got her just clinging, like, you know, straight away,

wanting to do everything right now, let's go, let's do this.

It's just 100 miles an hour.

Ines is coming on very strong very fast.

Ines is coming on very strong very fast.

I haven't spent enough time with Ines

to be able to promise her the world and that's what she wants.

Having just met a girl and she's sending me messages saying,

"I'll die if I'm not with you" is pretty full on.

That sort of stuff scared me a lot.

Ines needed someone who's probably gonna be very clingy

and very obsessed with her.

I think Ines has fallen for me.

I think Ines has fallen for me.

And I'm not sure if I've fallen for Ines.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

SAM: So, I'm a little bit nervous

to sit on the couch tonight with the experts

but more just I don't really want to see Elizabeth at all.

I don't think Elizabeth's gonna take it well

I don't think Elizabeth's gonna take it well

with any of the honesty that I come out with tonight.

I think it's just gonna erupt.

SAM: It's going to erupt.

Well, welcome, everybody, to another commitment ceremony.

Now, we are a third of the way through the experiment.

In this last week,

you all went away as a group to the Gold Coast

to experience what it's like to take your relationship

into the real world, and we did this to test your bond.

into the real world, and we did this to test your bond.

Some of you have done very well under this pressure.

It's brought you together.

While others have really struggled with the whole experience

but that's what this experiment is all about.

We throw challenges at you

that other couples normally experience over several years.

So, let's bring our first couple up onto the couch.

OK.

Jules and Cam.

(GENTLE STRINGED MUSIC)

JULES: I'm super happy. Like, it's just great.

Every day's great with Cam.

Well, Cam and Jules, great to have you up here.

It's clear, as soon as you sit down,

that you two are getting along in a really easy way together.

That's just it, John. It's easy.

Like, there's...

We just flow together. Like, nothing is an effort.

You're waiting for the big news, aren't you?

What's the big news?

Lay it out on the table.

What are we talking about, big fella?

MEL: What big news?

Yeah, well, the Gold Coast was a wonderful trip

and we, sort of, we just rolled in, the sun was shining,

the palm trees were... The sun wasn't shining.

I thought it was.

It was in his world. Just go with the story.

Hey, it was in his world.

Thanks, honey, I appreciate it.

And we sort of just rolled down by the pool.

We were both in, sort of, holiday mode,

had sort of a party holiday shirt on,

and it was just... it just felt comfortable

and I think we really didn't know where else to go,

other than we literally told each other how we feel, and...

and the L-bomb may have dropped.

JOHN: Oh. TRISHA: Ah.

And we told each other that, yeah, we love each other.

Wow. Wonderful.

Yeah.

Massive.

That's wonderful.

I think we probably all know but we're gonna ask you anyway.

I think we probably all know but we're gonna ask you anyway.

We need to find out whether you're gonna stay or leave.

Yep.

Well, no surprises whatsoever.

I'm gonna stay.

Great stuff.

Oh, look at that. Nice to see.

And what about you, Cam? What have you got for us?

I tell you what I have been stinging to do is yes!

That's Tom Cruise.

Oh, yes, he did!

So, that was my big surprise, honey.

So, that was my big surprise, honey.

Alright, well, look, it's fantastic to watch you two together,

and we'll see you next time.

Thanks, guys. Thank you.

Let's get our next couple up.

Mike and Heidi.

Mike doesn't realise that we are pretty much over.

I don't have much hope at all.

So, it was travel week for you two, eh?

What was your takeaway from it, Heidi?

The Gold Coast, it started a bit rocky when we were travelling.

The Gold Coast, it started a bit rocky when we were travelling.

And there was another incident.

It doesn't sound amazing.

No, we've kind of gone from the penthouse to the basement.

We pretty much just broke up at the dinner party.

So, yeah.

Can you tell us about the fight?

What happened? What were the triggers?

At the girls night, Jess said Mike had said that she needed

to be intimate with her husband, otherwise, he might just leave.

to be intimate with her husband, otherwise, he might just leave.

And I said, "Mike, is this true?"

And he said, "No, I didn't think I said it like that."

And then we had agreed to talk to Jess about it together,

and then he went and did it without me,

and then, so I felt like, I just didn't trust him anymore.

Mike, what do you say to that?

She'd said that thing about the "I don't trust you"

and that was just, like, a...

you know, it was a knife to the heart.

you know, it was a knife to the heart.

And I really felt like the horse had bolted.

I apologised but she won't let me.

Heidi, yes, you had an agreement, it was gonna go one way.

It actually went a different way, and he apologised,

so I'm just not clear

on why it's still upsetting you a few days later.

It's because we agreed on something, that's the thing,

and I just...I feel such anger, and then I feel rejected and...

and I just...I feel such anger, and then I feel rejected and...

So, is there something in there

about maybe wanting to push him away before he hurts you?

Yeah, totally, yeah.

Mike, what do you say to that?

I totally understand why Heidi's upset.

And, on the face of it, it doesn't look good.

Yeah, she's right, I could've stopped Jessika in that moment.

But I'm looking at it retrospectively now.

I would've, had I known how important it was to her.

I really didn't know that at the time, so, I do.

I do know, yeah.

Heidi, what else do you need from Mike

to be able to let go of this, other than the apology?

I don't know.

There's something and I just feel so angry.

And then the little... the things just add up.

Is this a normal pattern for you in a relationship?

Normal pattern would be something like,

Normal pattern would be something like,

yeah, I'd get angry, and then I can't get over it.

Heidi, has it occurred to you

that you may be sabotaging the really good thing here?

Massively, yeah, totally.

Do you know how you feel about him?

Yes.

Well, I just...

like, I even missed him, like, a little bit this afternoon.

Like, I want to be around him always,

and, like, I adore him, but I just am so afraid.

It scares you. Yeah, I hate it.

It scares you. Yeah, I hate it.

Like, I really want this to work.

Like, I just really...

Like, I... Do you really?

I do, but, at the same time, I'm like, I don't know if I can.

I don't know if you can either.

(STARTLING MUSIC)

When you say to Mike, "I don't know how, I don't know what to do,"

where does he go with that?

He just goes, "Well, I don't know what to do either,"

He just goes, "Well, I don't know what to do either,"

and then he'll probably walk away.

And so the pattern continues.

I don't know what to do.

I'm being honest.

Let me ask you this, Heidi.

If your best friend was in this position right now,

what advice would you give her?

Oh, um...

She's got a great guy that's into her, and your best friend

has got a pattern of pushing him away by overthinking things.

But that just... And hanging onto the past.

But that just... And hanging onto the past.

Just answer the question.

(BELL TOLLS)

Let me ask you this, Heidi.

If your best friend was in this position right now,

what advice would you give her?

Oh, um...

She's got a great guy that's into her, and your best friend

has got a pattern of pushing him away by overthinking things.

But that just takes... And hanging onto the past.

But that just takes... And hanging onto the past.

Just answer the question. What advice would you give her?

Start every day afresh

and choose whether you want to be with that person every day.

That's pretty good advice.

I know, but then how do I take it?

Don't get caught up in the how. Absorb it.

But what about if another incidents happen?

Absorb it and move forward.

You've just decided there, you know what?

Mike and I will have our arguments,

Mike and I will have our occasions where we don't get along.

We start the next day as though I want this guy in my life.

We start the next day as though I want this guy in my life.

Then how do you just push away the other stuff from...?

Well, what advice would you give your friend?

Oh, um...

I'm not gonna play this game with you, Heidi.

(STARTLING MUSIC)

I'm not trying to play a game. I know. This is serious.

I'd say, "You just have to dissolve it."

But it's like I don't want to dissolve it

But it's like I don't want to dissolve it

'cause then he doesn't realise what he's done.

You're making a choice of not wanting to get over it, then.

Yeah.

Great.

Here's the issue.

In relationships, we always are gonna make mistakes.

You're going to hurt each other's feelings - that's going to happen.

The question is - can you bring it up,

talk about it, and then, the next day, start afresh?

And Mike can do that, as well.

This is not just for you.

This is not just for you.

You guys are a very strong couple

and you're essentially eroding your bond.

But, for now, let's get to the decision.

Are we gonna stay or leave?

This wasn't actually an easy decision,

but I care about her, I really do.

I gotta figure this out with her so I'm gonna stay.

There's an ellipsis there, though. HEIDI: What does that mean?

Means I've been thinking about it a little bit.

Heidi, what about you - stay or leave?

Um...

Oh...

I just literally thought we were over.

I just thought, 'We are done and we are finished.'

And then I thought, 'I've not done all this for nothing.'

There's, like, a glimmer. There's, like, a little sparkle.

Anyway, I wrote 'stay', too.

Oh...

Come on.

You both can change.

Give yourselves the benefit of the doubt.

Mistakes can happen.

You can say things in the heat of the moment,

but you start afresh the next day.

Alright, you two.

Dig in and give each other a chance,

a fresh chance, at the beginning of every day.

So, let's grow from here.

Thanks. Thank you.

We had a big one, hey?

We had a big time on the couch. We had a big one.

We had a big time on the couch. We had a big one.

And, yeah, we found out lots,

and I felt like I got a bit of a talking to, but in a good way.

Honestly, it just feels like

we've started fresh, better than ever, actually.

Alright, let's get our next couple up.

(PENSIVE MUSIC)

Michael and Martha.

MARTHA: Going into the commitment ceremony,

the awkward part is being vulnerable.

Wow.

I don't really talk about my feelings with anyone.

Good to see you two.

Likewise. Good to see you.

Martha, you told us previously on the couch

that you weren't sure how you were feeling about Michael.

Where is that now?

I know how I feel about Michael, I know that.

I do like him.

I've never trusted a partner before but Michael's different.

I've never trusted a partner before but Michael's different.

Like, I feel like I trust him.

She's become a lot more affectionate.

Like, initiating the affection.

You know, hugs or a kiss.

This week has been different to the previous weeks.

So, how's your intimacy going?

Mm-hm, we have sex.

I like the way things are moving.

There's no pressure. There's no pressure.

Just a good flow. Yeah.

I know my feelings for her are real.

I know my feelings for her are real.

What sort of feelings have you got for her?

Like, I can see myself eventually falling for this girl.

Martha, do you think that you could fall for him?

I think I could, yeah.

Mm.

Thanks, John.

We're just getting it out on the table.

(PEACEFUL PIANO MUSIC)

Then I think we better get to the decision.

You know, I trust that she's gonna let herself continue to feel

You know, I trust that she's gonna let herself continue to feel

the way she feels about me, and, in saying that, I'm going to stay.

Great. Fantastic.

Lovely.

I also chose to stay.

Yeah.

Well done, guys. Off you go, guys.

Alright, let's get our next couple up.

Mick and Jess.

With Jess, yeah, you know, it's been difficult.

Jess can be very, very hot and cold,

Jess can be very, very hot and cold,

and, sometimes, I don't know... I don't know where I stand,

and, other times, it's bloody great, I don't know.

Hello. Hello.

Hey, guys. How you going?

We're doing pretty well. How's your week been?

Well, we were asked to work on our romance this week,

but I felt like, sort of, the romance

was sucked out a little bit because Mick told everybody that we had sex.

I didn't tell everyone.

I told two people that I went and had initiated...

But you didn't speak to me first, babe, and that's what upset me.

And then he wonders why there's no intimacy

or wonders why I'm not wanting to initiate it,

because I'm worried, every time that we're going...

we're having, like, a nice moment,

Mick's gonna run off and say something.

Do you understand what she's saying there, Mick?

Yeah, I do, yeah, yeah.

Did you pick the romance game up this week?

I did, I did.

I went above and beyond, I feel.

But I feel like there's a lot of one-way traffic.

The last sorta two days,

I conducted an experiment within the experiment,

I conducted an experiment within the experiment,

and I sorta tried to pull away a lot of the affection towards Jess

just to see if she'd pick up the slack after the romance week.

And...yeah, nuthin', really, comin' that way.

What do you need more from her?

Affection, number one, like,

otherwise, you know, we may as well just be friends.

Have you asked her why she's not showing you affection back?

Have you asked her why she's not showing you affection back?

Well, she said she's usually not an affectionate person, and...

Mick said to me, "Are you a sexual person?"

And I said, "No."

Then Mick proceeded to tell me that,

"Well, with all my other girlfriends,

"we have sex all the time."

I feel like Mick just wants to take leaps and bounds

and just get straight in the bed,

and I need more than that, rather than just, like,

getting dressed and Mick just tries to jump me.

It's not that bad.

No, but that's how I feel, babe.

No, but that's how I feel, babe.

Righto, OK.

I just feel like, with Mick, I give him an inch and he takes a mile.

So, like, today, we were in the bedroom,

and we were kissing, it was nice.

And then Mick proceeds to...like, trying to full kiss me,

and I'm like, "Stop, Mick."

I know that he thinks it's a joke,

but it's like, I'm like, "Please, stop."

And then, so, these little things happen

and it just, sort of, it makes me just go, like, ugh.

Mick, when this was happening in the bedroom,

Mick, when this was happening in the bedroom,

were you picking up on Jess's cues or signs

that perhaps she wanted to stop?

Yes, I sorta do it to play... you know, playfully and that,

but, when she just says, "Righto, enough's enough," that's...

You know when you've gone too far.

Yeah, absolutely. Yeah.

Is that true, Jess? Yeah.

I just want to show that I really like this bloody woman.

She's a great girl.

We have...we have a lot of fun together.

We have...we have a lot of fun together.

Like, we have moments.

We have these beautiful moments.

And they're really, really nice, and I like that,

but I don't know what to do

because I don't want to keep going if I'm not comfortable.

You've got to be a couple that are talking more deeply now

'cause, at the moment, you've come to a grinding halt.

Yeah. Alright, you two.

We need to get to the decision.

Let's go with you, Jess.

Yeah, look.

Yeah, look.

Like, I know Mick told people that we've been intimate

and I was really upset with it,

but then, you know, we have these beautiful moments.

So, I said 'stay, baby' with a smiley face.

I like it.

And what about you, Mick?

I bloody...I had a, yeah, serious chat to a couple of boys

about, yeah, this decision, and, yeah, look, it didn't come lightly.

But 'stay' just in the top corner there.

Nice.

Well, you know, it's been a challenging week for you guys,

it's not been smooth sailing, but this week it's gotta change.

Yep.

Well, with that, you can go back to the group.

Thanks. MEL: Thanks, guys.

We're at the point of this experiment where

you've gotta start to think, "Are we gonna last, like, on the long term?"

you've gotta start to think, "Are we gonna last, like, on the long term?"

And I'm struggling to understand now

whether Mick and I are a relationship

or whether Mick and I are just friends.

NARRATOR: Coming up...

I was kind of really taken aback with all these...this rumour talk.

Ines and Sam's web of deceit.

Bronson's gonna hate me.

..finally unravels.

Yeah, there's times I've caught up with Ines.

CYRELL: Ines, why the (BLEEP) are you laughing?

And the consequences...

And the consequences...

You've just ruined a marriage, you crazy bitch.

..are cataclysmic.

It's an amazing night.

(BELL TOLLS)

Alright, let's get our next couple up.

Melissa and Dino.

Whoo!

Now, travelling away together can be tough for couples.

Has this had any real impact on you?

Has this had any real impact on you?

I mean, yeah.

It was the best for us because I think that,

you know, it kind of gets Dino doing stuff, as well, like...

What do you mean?

Well, you know, he kind of has his own little routine

that's very set,

which is, you know, kinda, get up and have a lemon juice

and have an oat and have meditation and, you know,

and, so, when we are not in that kind of familiar place,

and, so, when we are not in that kind of familiar place,

you know, he's out of routine.

He didn't have lemon water any day.

It means I can get to know him a lot better.

What about for you, Dino? What was it like?

I felt this trip away actually worked for us,

and, yeah, we've just had better conversations.

We had a souvenir shopping activity that, I feel,

we added a sense of playfulness to intimacy, really.

we added a sense of playfulness to intimacy, really.

You know, we were searching for I Love Gold Coast mugs and t-shirts.

We came out with all these sexual objects

that we never knew we'd actually find.

All sorts of tools, I find, but we even brought you back a present.

Just goes to show...

MEL: Is that a special gift? Oh...

It's a wine bottle opener in a kangaroo scrotum.

(SQUEALS)

(LAUGHTER)

(LAUGHTER)

It's literally hairy balls.

That's very special.

Right.

And on that note, we need to know whether you're gonna stay or leave.

Dino? Sure.

I believe in Mel.

I believe in what we have.

So, I've decided to stay.

Brilliant. A smiley face.

TRISHA: Great.

And what about you, Mel?

I'm hangin' on, babes, so I am a-stayin'.

I'm hangin' on, babes, so I am a-stayin'.

Great. Good.

It's always good, actually, speaking to the experts.

JOHN: So romantic.

We're going at this pace that we both are comfortable with.

Definitely going in the right direction.

Ning and Mark.

Going to the Gold Coast together, what'd it do for you?

I've learnt so much about myself, like, this week.

Like, obviously, we've had fun

and I've just learnt to let people take care of me, for once.

Like, he bought me lunch.

Like, I didn't ask for it.

Like, I didn't ask for it.

He just went and he brought me lunch and a coffee, and I'm like,

"Well, no-one does that for me," and, like, he even texts me.

Like, he'll just message me even if he's on the toilet, "I miss you."

I'm like, "What?

"You're thinking about me

"while you're doing, you know, what people do on the toilet."

I'm like, "OK."

I'm like, "50 Shades of Poo," but, you know, that's fine.

(LIGHT APPLAUSE AND LAUGHTER)

Yeah, so, it's nice to be thought of.

Alright, we can see some real change here.

Mark, we do still need to know whether you're gonna stay or leave.

Mark, we do still need to know whether you're gonna stay or leave.

So, this week's pretty easy for me.

Yeah, so, I'm gonna stay.

Ning, what about you? Stay or leave?

So, I've just said 'stay' and I've done, like, a little smiley face.

MEL: Fantastic.

Nic and Cyrell.

Last week, things were pretty rough.

We're very keen to hear how you're getting along together now.

Yeah, we're heaps better, honestly.

What has changed?

What has changed?

Well, for one thing, I'm not showing him Cyclone Cyrell anymore,

as Nic likes to call it.

You know, we communicated.

Nic just made me feel reassured,

and he was like, "I don't want you to leave.

"I want to see where this goes.

"And I'd really like for you to try."

And that's what I needed to hear.

(PEACEFUL PIANO MUSIC)

Time for a decision.

Let's go with you first, Cyrell. Stay or leave?

I'm happy to stay.

And for you, Nic?

Stay another week, so, stay.

Stay another week, so, stay.

Well done,

'cause we really challenged you last week,

and you've picked the ball up and you've run with it, and you've shown

everybody that you're committed to this process, so, well done.

Keep it up.

No worries. Thanks, guys.

Enjoy the romance. Yep.

Thank you.

Alright, let's get our next couple up.

Elizabeth and Sam.

Ooh.

Oh...

Oh...

INES: I'm hoping Elizabeth says 'leave' and Sam says 'leave'.

That would be the best-case scenario.

That way, we can get together.

Hi.

So, last time we saw you, Sam, you were here on the couch on your own.

Yep.

And, Elizabeth, you weren't able to make it.

Mm-hm.

And how did you feel

when you heard that Sam had elected to stay

at the last commitment ceremony?

at the last commitment ceremony?

Shocked. Completely shocked. Why?

I thought there definitely wasn't a connection.

Why do you think he did?

I don't know.

To be honest, I don't know.

Why did you write 'stay' last week, Sam?

I wrote 'stay' last week purely because of the fact...

You know, I didn't know where

Elizabeth and my connection was going,

or if it'd blossom into something bigger or less,

or if it'd blossom into something bigger or less,

but mostly just to stay to just see if she was OK

'cause she sorta left on no notice.

Like, I didn't know what was wrong or what'd happened.

What have you done, Sam, this week

to try and figure your connection out with Elizabeth?

Probably nothing good.

I guess, nothing in a positive light

to get a connection with Elizabeth at all.

The fight we had, I asked Elizabeth

if she could please leave the apartment, obviously,

'cause it was getting heated, and we were disrespecting each other a lot.

'cause it was getting heated, and we were disrespecting each other a lot.

So, Elizabeth, what happened with the fight?

What's your take on it?

What I don't appreciate is turning round

saying that I'm trying to sleep with him,

that I'm trying to have sex with him to the boys on the boy's night.

I didn't say that. I do not appreciate that.

Trying to "seduce" him, OK? That was not the case.

I was, kind of, really,

taken aback with all these... this rumour talk, as well.

What rumour?

What rumour?

Well, there's a rumour about Sam and Ines in the sauna.

I didn't know at this point,

so, basically, I've come in and I've just had the girls

having a go at Ines, saying,

like, talking about this rumour, going,

"What's happened? What's happened? What's happened?"

And then I'm looking mortified.

I don't understand, I'm exhausted.

We noticed at the dinner party last night

that this rumour was a topic of conversation.

Sam, you were kind of front and centre in the spotlight

Sam, you were kind of front and centre in the spotlight

with all of it, yeah?

What do you have to say about this rumour?

Um...

It's been hard, you know?

Like, when I came up to the Gold Coast, and, obviously,

Elizabeth had left and I didn't know if she was gonna come back or not,

so there was times... Bronson's gonna hate me.

Yeah, there's times I've caught up with Ines.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

What? What?

(BELL TOLLS)

Yeah, there's times I've caught up with Ines.

What? What?

What? What?

When you say you caught up, what do you mean?

Like, we had a few drinks, a discussion.

Basically, yeah, well,

I came into this experiment wanting to meet someone,

and, obviously, build a connection with someone.

Obviously, from the start,

I've been honest and said that I'm not feeling a connection,

I've been honest and said that I'm not feeling a connection,

I'm not feeling the vibes at all,

I'm not connecting with her in a mental way, a physical way,

any way at all.

Then Ines obviously not getting along with her partner,

well, then, it sort of just seemed that may...you know?

There was an attraction there between Ines and I.

And the opportunity arose where

we could catch up and say hello and whatever, so, obviously, we did.

we could catch up and say hello and whatever, so, obviously, we did.

When did that happen? On the Gold Coast.

Just some drinks at, like, a bar.

Yeah.

You didn't tell Elizabeth? No, definitely not. We fought.

When did the connection with Ines start?

On the Gold Coast.

Not beforehand? No.

So, there was nothing going on between you and Ines

before the Gold Coast?

No.

Oh, there was an Instagram message, but...

So, who made the first contact, you or Ines?

Ines did.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

And that came before the Gold Coast? Yeah.

And how did she do that? Through Instagram.

And then I chose to, obviously, accept it and act on that.

When you did catch up, where was your situation?

That was prior to the Gold Coast, yeah.

So, when you finally met with Ines,

what did you find out about her and you and your connection?

Well, we obviously get along a lot better than what...

Well, we obviously get along a lot better than what...

You know, she treats me a lot better than what Elizabeth does,

that's for sure.

And just basically, yeah, we just connect on a better level, I guess,

have similar thoughts and just much more similar personalities.

What did you discuss about your future?

I obviously said, like,

I'm sick of dealing with this person that's constantly on my arse

about everything, so, obviously, I was honest with everything.

But what did you talk about in terms of your future with Ines?

That, basically, Ines would want me to commit to her long-term,

That, basically, Ines would want me to commit to her long-term,

I'd have to be able to commit to her, you know, long-term,

if we were gonna do this thing together,

if that was to go that far.

She asked you that after one drink?

Yeah.

Elizabeth, what's going through your mind when you hear this?

Just the thing that keep being pummelled at me that

I have no respect for him, yet he's talking to someone behind my back.

I have no respect for him, yet he's talking to someone behind my back.

And he just said they spoke at the Gold Coast,

like, that was the first time they tried to do anything,

then he said there was an Instagram message

and they met up prior to the Gold Coast,

so he just contradicted everything he just said.

Cyrell and Ning copped a lot of shit from everybody.

They copped a lot of shit from everybody like they were lying.

You were obviously talking to another female behind my back,

and I thought that Sam and Bronson were quite friendly,

and it's kinda like he's done that, as well.

But it's not about that. We both wanted to leave.

But it's not about that. We both wanted to leave.

Excuse me, I'm talking, Sam.

It's like, mate, you're with another chick.

I'm not with another chick.

You're trying to establish some feelings with another girl.

But the thing is I haven't lied to you one step of the way.

OK, Sam, I'm gonna jump in there. Yeah.

So, when you say to Elizabeth, "I haven't lied to you,"

do you not see having a conversation

and drinks with another woman is lying to your partner?

Well, I hadn't even had the chance to tell Elizabeth

'cause she walked out.

OK, but you were communicating prior to that,

OK, but you were communicating prior to that,

and there were opportunities.

You saw her at the Gold Coast, you saw her at the dinner party.

There were opportunities, if you wanted to.

Yeah, definitely.

It was definitely a bit deceptive.

Bronson. Hello.

Do you feel betrayed?

Let down, more like it.

More betrayed by Sam, I think, than Ines.

You know, I took your word at face value, I really did.

I thought, yep, Sam's a good bloke, he'll tell me the truth.

So, did you guys kiss? Did you bang?

So, did you guys kiss? Did you bang?

We didn't bang, no.

We kissed. Yeah, we kissed.

We didn't hook... we didn't (BLEEP), though.

Sam, what's the plan for you and Ines moving forward?

I... I...

Do you see a future with Ines?

It's hard.

Ines wants this long-term commitment from me,

and, from the short time that we've spent together,

and, from the short time that we've spent together,

I can't guarantee that at all.

I can't guarantee that.

I have to be honest with the... you know, with Ines about that.

I can't sit there and say, "Oh, yes, I can promise you that."

I can't do that.

If I had my time over, I wouldn't have accepted the message.

I wouldn't have accepted the message from Ines and met up with Ines.

I do regret it.

Ines, why the (BLEEP) are you laughing?

You're sitting there... Don't scream at me.

No, I am gonna scream at you. What, what, what?

Don't disrespect me.

You've just ruined a (BLEEP) marriage

and you're sitting there (BLEEP) smiling.

Your husband is looking like a piece of shit.

Your husband is looking like a piece of shit.

I feel so sorry for you.

You deserve better than that.

Miss, you deserve better than that. 100% I deserve better than that.

You're sitting there smiling, too.

What you don't understand, Cyrell... No, I don't need to understand.

You fall over as you work through a marriage.

You don't sit there and just meet up with another wife.

Well, I'm gonna explain. (BLEEP) off.

Please, the world doesn't revolve around you, Sam.

You ain't King Dingaling. Settle the (BLEEP) down.

(BELL TOLLS)

You've just ruined a marriage, you (BLEEP) crazy bitch.

INES: Don't disrespect me.

Your husband is looking like a piece of shit.

You sit there and smile.

Please, the world doesn't revolve around you, Sam.

You ain't King Dingaling. Settle the (BLEEP) down.

INES: Why is she screaming at me?

That's just disgusting.

I'm not into it.

Alright, you two.

I think the writing is well and truly on the wall,

I think the writing is well and truly on the wall,

but let's go to the decision

to find out where you both stand with this relationship.

My decision, you know, it was quite hard

when you disappeared for a week,

and I know I've done, obviously, the wrong thing by you

while you were gone,

but I was obviously past the point of caring, but...

Putting a lot of thought into this decision,

but, yeah, I have to leave.

Yeah. OK.

And for you, Elizabeth? Where do you stand, stay or leave?

And for you, Elizabeth? Where do you stand, stay or leave?

I don't mess with drama.

I don't mess with you, so I'm leaving.

I guess, if Elizabeth feels disrespected

in, you know, the fact that...

that Ines and I met up for a drink and we kissed,

I think that's...you know, I have to say sorry for that, obviously.

I think that's...you know, I have to say sorry for that, obviously.

Just wish you would've been honest.

I just feel like there was a lot of lies from the get-go,

but I genuinely don't want anyone to feel like crap.

I just felt like I was made to feel like crap a lot of the time.

You start hurting people, Sam. Yeah.

Thank you for being here and for being honest with us tonight.

You can go back to the group.

I really came in here wanting to give it a go,

I really came in here wanting to give it a go,

but I really don't feel like I've had an opportunity

to even start a relationship.

Right, well, we've just got word

that Ines will come back to the commitment ceremony

to tell her side of the story.

However, to do that, she's asked

if she can have her time in here without being confronted by Cyrell.

So, what we're going to ask, Cyrell...

I'd love to leave 'cause I don't like to listen to bullshit anyways.

Let's go, darling.

Oh, you know, I needed fresh air anyways.

Thank you, guys.

We appreciate that. Yeah.

Sam and Ines were actually hanging out and hooking up

and who knows what else they've been doing.

You know, I asked Sam, I asked Ines, and they both...

Denied it.

Yeah, they both said to my face, "Nah, it's not true."

Yeah, they both said to my face, "Nah, it's not true."

I was very angry at Sam, but at least, with Sam,

he turned around and did say to John that he regrets even speaking to her

on Instagram, so that, for me, is a little bit of guilt.

Hi, Ines. Hi.

Come on in and grab a seat.

No-one yell at me. Oh, my god.

How are you? Good.

How are you? Good.

How are you? Yeah, yeah, doing well.

Well, this is a chance for you to tell your side of the story.

Great.

Obviously, I wanted to leave at the first commitment ceremony.

I vocalised it

that I had no attraction towards Bronson on any level.

It wasn't developing.

So, yeah, Sam and I had, like, an attraction.

So, yeah, Sam and I had, like, an attraction.

I reached out to him via Instagram,

and then, on the Gold Coast, we met up for some drinks.

Yeah.

In terms of your future together, what did you and Sam discuss?

I said I wasn't interested in anything further with him

unless he could see me with him long-term down the track,

I mean, like, five years down the track.

That's a big ask after one date. Yeah.

That's a big ask after one date. Yeah.

I did see a lot of potential in Sam.

And the attraction was really large, yeah.

So, how are you feeling now

that things haven't gone in that direction?

Well, I'm just glad it's happened now

than investing, like, my emotions and my feelings into someone

and it not working out two weeks in, three weeks in.

Bronson, how are you feeling right now listening to all of this?

Bronson, how are you feeling right now listening to all of this?

I was mainly disappointed in Ines

because I thought the one trait I did like about her

was she was honest, brutally honest,

to the point where it actually hurts, but she was honest.

You know, we are married, so give me a head's up, at least.

Let me know where you're at and if you want to go see another guy.

Let's call it quits and I'll go away.

That would've been nice.

Ines, did you ever think about talking to Bronson

about your intentions?

No.

So, are you aware right now about the impact on him?

Bronson's been through a bit in life.

I'm sure, you know, he will survive.

What about Elizabeth?

Did you think about the potential impact on her?

Elizabeth, she doesn't have anything nice to say about Sam.

I don't think she actually cares, either.

I don't think she actually cares, either.

I think she's just carrying on.

Oh...

(BELL TOLLS)

Ines, did you ever think about talking to Bronson

about your intentions?

No.

What about Elizabeth?

Did you think about the potential impact on her?

Did you think about the potential impact on her?

Elizabeth, she doesn't have anything nice to say about Sam.

I don't think she actually cares, either.

I think she's just carrying on.

Pathetic.

There's no way I'm gonna give that girl a platform.

I don't want to hear the excuses. I don't want to hear any of it.

She didn't give me any respect,

especially when I went and apologised to her.

I gave her chocolate. Oh, my god, that's the girl code. Like...

I am definitely feeling hurt.

You've tried to belittle me when you're obviously guilty.

I'm sorry, what? Excuse me?

She's disgusting.

Ines, looking back over the last few weeks,

is there anything that you might have done differently?

Nothing.

I can't change what happened.

Like, it just...it happened.

It was so unexpected, like, never saw it coming.

Like, when I first met Sam, we didn't even, like, speak.

Like, it literally came out of the blue.

But can I just confirm, you guys were only together once, one night?

Yeah, that's correct, yeah.

But the feelings were really strong,

But the feelings were really strong,

because Sam mentioned that you asked him...

like, and you said that you want a long-term commitment with Sam.

Yeah.

And it was all over just one night? Yeah.

The attraction was quite large.

Pretty mu...yeah, we hit it off.

Yeah. WOMAN: Must've been a long night.

It must've been one hell of a drink and one kiss, though.

See, I'm, like, a yes or no person.

There's no, like, in-between with me.

Like, I can't even think like that.

So, it was literally just this one night?

It wasn't much, yeah, yeah. Exactly, that's the truth of it.

It wasn't much, yeah, yeah. Exactly, that's the truth of it.

(BLEEP), man.

Like, this one night sounds ah-mazing.

It was a good night, it was.

No shit, because, if this can all happen on one night...

JULES: Can I just ask you,

did you hook up after the girl's night or before the girl's night?

Um...I can't remember.

What day was the boy's night? Oh, turn it up.

We were only there a few nights. You can't forget.

And it's an amazing night. You fell in love!

I mean, come on, you will remember what night it is.

Was it before or after?

Was it before or after?

WOMAN: Tell us. MELISSA: Come on.

Was it before the girl's night? SAM: Honestly, I can't...

SAM: I honestly can't remember. HEIDI: Guys, before or after?

I'm gonna say before.

Right. Oh, well that makes it even worse.

Sorry, that makes it even worse.

Or after. Honestly, I can't remember.

I can't remember. I can't...

I'm sorry, I can't remember. This is ridiculous.

I can't remember. MELISSA: Come the (BLEEP) on.

Like, let's all be honest. Like, that's what we're here for.

Like, let's all be honest. Like, that's what we're here for.

But we have been, that's the thing.

Ines, have you got a sense as to why the group's so fired up about this?

No. I mean, I mind my own business.

And they haven't, like, lived through, like, my story.

Like, you're not my thoughts, you're not my feelings.

What do you think they're so angry about?

What do you think they're so angry about?

To be honest, I don't really care.

I just don't regret anything, ever.

Like, I'm a person.

Um...

I'm gonna make mistakes all the time.

Was this a mistake? No, it wasn't a mistake.

Uh, I think now's the time for us to get to a decision.

Uh, I think now's the time for us to get to a decision.

Yep, OK.

Uh, let's start with you, Ines.

Stay or leave?

I think everyone knows what my decision is.

It was 'leave'.

OK, and what about you, Bronson?

Um, this has definitely tested me.

INES: If Bronson says 'stay', I'll be so devastated.

INES: If Bronson says 'stay', I'll be so devastated.

I don't even believe in religion but I'm praying.

(BELL TOLLS)

What about you, Bronson? We've heard a lot tonight.

Stay or leave?

Um, this has definitely tested me.

Um...

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

So, I wrote 'leave'. OK.

So, I wrote 'leave'. OK.

I'm sad I'm leaving,

I really am sad I'm leaving, 'cause I was in it for the long haul.

I was in it for marriage, thick and thin, push through no matter

how much it sucked, and it sucked at the start, it really did.

I guess Ines didn't lie to me but she never told me the truth.

Ines, anything you want to say to Bronson?

You...

You've handled this, like, extremely well,

You've handled this, like, extremely well,

like, incredibly gracefully, so, thank you.

Thank you for tolerating me.

Yeah, I really wish you all the best.

Thank you, I appreciate that.

Ines, what attracted you to this experiment?

Well, I didn't think it would be like...

I didn't think it would be like this.

I really didn't.

You didn't think that it'd be about opening up

and talking about what's going on?

Well, I just thought I'd be placed with someone

where it'd be so effortless.

TRISHA: So, you came in with quite high expectations.

TRISHA: So, you came in with quite high expectations.

Yeah, I did, I really did.

And you thought you were just going to meet someone,

you'd click and everything would be fabulous?

Yeah. Mm.

Relationships aren't like that.

Yeah.

And even though this is an experiment, Sam,

we ask for honesty, integrity

and to give the relationship full commitment, give it a go.

It's just like a marriage outside of the experiment,

so betrayal is betrayal.

Mm-hm.

We ask you to hold onto your moral compass in here.

We ask you to hold onto your moral compass in here.

Ines, Bronson, it's been a rollercoaster, a very rocky time.

There has been some lighter moments there,

but unfortunately it hasn't worked out with the both of you,

but we wish you both all the very best,

and, hopefully, you've learnt something about relationships

through this, and also, perhaps, something about yourselves, as well.

Thanks, guys.

Thank you so much. Beauty. Thanks, guys.

Thank you so much. Beauty. Thanks, guys.

INES: I feel good, you know?

Like, everything's done.

You know, like, Bronson and I are done.

Sam's made it, like, super clear, we're done.

I never have to see Cyrell carry on ever again.

It has been one hell of a ride, it really has.

Alright, well, that concludes a really eventful commitment ceremony.

We wish Bronson and Ines, and Sam and Elizabeth, all the very best.

We wish Bronson and Ines, and Sam and Elizabeth, all the very best.

SAM: I just couldn't see a long-term future with Ines

and I couldn't promise forever with her.

It's not the way I thought it was gonna go,

but I would rather leave than say 'stay'

when I know there's no potential future for the two of us,

three of us.

ELIZABETH: Sitting on the couch,

hearing Sam admitting that he was hooking up with Ines behind my back,

hearing Sam admitting that he was hooking up with Ines behind my back,

and his supposed good mate Bronson's back,

yeah, it's a massive up you to Ines and a massive up you to Sam.

NARRATOR: Tomorrow night...

We will be raising the stakes like never before.

It's the surprise no-one saw coming.

We'll be introducing two brand-new couples

midway through the experiment.

And this, of course, happens in real life.

In a Married at First Sight world first...

In a Married at First Sight world first...

You do look at a new couple

and you kind of begin to re-evaluate your own relationship.

..the experiment heads back down the aisle.

It is the first time I've ever been to a wedding and it's my wedding.

..as four brand-new singles...

I'm ready for love. I can't do that on my own.

..secretly enter the experiment.

Petrified at the moment.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous.

It promises to be the biggest twist...

Show-time.

the experiment's ever seen.

Alright, let's do it. Let's go.

MAN: I want to get the butterflies.

MAN: I want to get the butterflies.

WOMAN: I don't like being scared.

I don't normally feel like this.

Can you hold my hand?

MAN: I'm ready to meet my future wife.
