Welcome!

NARRATOR: Previously,
Feedback Week gave our couples...

What does it say?
Ohh!

..much-needed perspective
on their relationships.

LYNDALL: I was actually
very grateful

for Ollie just being
quite straight-up

about what he'd observed
of Cam and I.

..but Layton's resistance...

I'm not gonna go and move in
with another woman,

and you're not supporting me,
your partner!

..highlighted deeper issues.

Coming to hug you and talk to you
and say, "Let me support you!"

No. No. Mel.

..in his marriage with Melinda.

(CRIES) I can't do this.

And...

(SOMBRE MUSIC PLAYS)

..Duncan's emotional plea...

DUNCAN: (CRIES) And I feel more
rejected in this relationship

than in any relationship
I've been in.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

..before a catch-up
with old friends...

(SHRIEKING AND LAUGHTER)

..armed with hard questions...

So, you have feelings for Harrison?
Yep.

I don't believe it.

..saw Bronte...

Don't you feel like
he's manipulating you?

..make a dramatic exit.

BRONTE: It's out of line! I'm done.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

Tonight, the table is set
for the second-last dinner party...

(CHEERING)

..but one guest is missing.

No Bronte!

MEL SCHILLING: Where is Bronte?

Now he's doing the, like,
"Woe is me."

Where is Bronte and what did you do?

And...

I could be out there
for six months to a year.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

..unexpected and heartbreaking
truths...

LYNDALL: I just went into shock.

..will be revealed...

He's not considering me at all.

..that could spell the end

of Lyndall's pursuit
of her happily ever after.

So, do you see a future
outside of this?

Um...

..before...

I try and support you!
You don't let me.

Why would I not support you?

HARRISON: The dinner party took
an unexpected turn into fun town.

I'm all about having fun.

It's Melinda versus Layton...

How do you think you made Mel feel
when you said that?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

..versus Harrison.

How are you helping the situation
by saying rubbish like that?

What are you doing - tit for tat?!

Will his meddling...

I'm gonna do a Bronte!

..claim yet another couple?

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC BUILDS)

After the invaluable feedback on
their relationships this past week,

today our couples are coming together

to unpack and reflect as a group
at tonight's dinner party.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC CONTINUES)

I've got a Charade for you.

(JAUNTY INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Who am I?

(JAUNTY INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

What?
Steve Jobs.

(TAHNEE LAUGHS)

A little bit, eh?

You look like 'The Rock' Johnson,
that's what.

Like, can I please give you
the chain necklace to wear?

Please.
Yeah.

And then I have a bum bag as well.

(LAUGHS) Ollie was giving off
'The Rock' Johnson vibes...

Wait, I actually can't...
(SHRIEKS) Go!

..with the turtleneck fit
and the chain necklace...

(LAUGHS) That is a meme.
That is a (BLEEP) meme!

..and I'm kind of into it. (LAUGHS)

One, two.
(CAMERA CLICKS)

Wait, do more of a sexy face.

(LAUGHTER)

That's so good!

How does the turtleneck
make me feel?

Bold.

(LAUGHS) It's so good!

I wonder if they'd let me wear
a bum bag into...

No! You look like such an eshay!

(LAUGHS) Don't.

These last couple of days
have been quite intense

with everything
that's been happening,

but there's not long left.

So, we're trying
to make the most of it,

and, yeah, have a blast, really.

(LAUGHS) There's your Halloween
costume. There you go.

En garde!

(LAUGHTER)

(DYNAMIC INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

MELINDA: Surprisingly,
you know what I saw last night?

Mmm?

I saw a bit of value
to this couple swap challenge

that everyone had to do,
for the first time.

People were understanding a little
bit of these relationships more,

and then they've actually seen
their own relationship

in a different light.

Mmm.

Um, and see things
from a different perspective

and...yeah, so, some people
had a positive experience.

That's good.
Not everyone.

Layton's unwillingness to participate
in the New Pairings task

caused a huge rift with his wife,
Melinda.

I don't feel comfortable.

I'm being put on the spot,

and I feel like
I'm being challenged on it.

So upset and angry
for three days at you!

I was just so upset and angry!

Like, you don't ever
put yourself in my shoes!

So, you don't know...
(HYPERVENTILATES)

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

I'm really upset!

Like, I've been upset here, but...

..like, my...my heart is breaking!

Like, I'm just really upset!

And when they finally reunited
after the task,

the tension was unresolved.

If there's something I can do for
you, please tell me.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Yes, it's gonna take me
a little bit, like, longer

to snap out of this time,

because...yeah, a lot happened.

When this challenge happened
in the last few days,

I've been worried that there will
never be any budging with Layton -

that he will never be able
to see things

from other people's perspectives,
or in my shoes.

We've had a really rocky week.

Nothing kind of touches his heart.

It just touches the mind...

..but we've only got two weeks left.

I wanna try to see if, somehow,
we can, like, move these mountains.

So, I think we're coming in
as a couple - a united couple.

(CHUCKLES)

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

That's a nice dress.
Thanks, babe.

I think that Mel and I are walking
to the dinner party tonight

in a good space,

but there's still, just feels like,
things we haven't really addressed.

So, I feel like we both need to be
able to talk about our feelings

and be able to communicate
with each other about them

in order to move forward.

It just seems like
every time we try to,

it gets...just gets heated,
and it doesn't need to be.

(KISSES)

Just...I just put red all over you.
(LAUGHS)

Really?
Yeah! (LAUGHS)

(DOOR CLOSES)

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

How was, um...how was girls' night?

Girls' night was sick!

It was so good.

Yeah, I think everyone got a lot

out of talking about
their New Pairings situation,

and for the most part, like,

everyone got something
really good out of it...

..but I also feel like everybody's

in a really weird spot from it
as well.

Mmm. I bet.
Really weird spot.

I bet everyone is.
Yeah.

I think it really shook
a few people.

Look, my relationship's
pretty weird right now, actually.

Um, after spending
a few days with Ollie,

you know, being with somebody
that listened to me

and wanted to hear
my thoughts and feelings,

and kind of go through them with me,

and made question, like,

a lot of things about
our relationship a lot more.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

For Lyndall, Ollie's insights
into her relationship with Cam

were eye-opening.

OLLIE: I always feel like you guys
are speaking about stuff

for the first time on the couch.

Oh, 100%.

Yeah, I feel like, definitely,
at the start of the experiment,

there would be
a few touchy subjects.

Like, I realised quite quickly
with Cam, he is not used to that,

and he would take it
as a very personal attack.

Mmm.

I know that maybe Ollie
didn't need it, but I really did,

and I was really appreciative

of what he provided for me
in those three days.

(STIRRING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

I started to realise

that I need a partner that
I can communicate freely with

when it's easy and when it's hard,

when it's personal
and when it's not.

Something that I learnt from
getting a second chance at life

is that I don't want to waste time.

(STIRRING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

I was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis
when I was three weeks old.

The most detrimental part of it

is that the cells in the lungs
don't work properly

and you end up losing lung function.

(STIRRING MUSIC CONTINUES)

This new drug is genuinely
a miracle.

It's given me
another 40 years to enjoy,

and so I was able to start thinking,

I do wanna, you know, be with
someone for the rest of my life.

(STIRRING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

I want to grow with someone.

Somebody who makes sacrifices
and compromises.

A forever love.

But for Cam,
a new opportunity in his work

as a carpenter in remote communities

has left him uneasy about the future
of his relationship.

CAM: I can't see myself
leaving the Territory,

leaving my career,
doing what I do.

And some times
where I'll be away for weeks,

out remote with no phone service.

Yeah.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

I mean, I guess it puts me
in a bit of a weird spot.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)

Not exactly the best environment

for, like, forming a relationship,
either.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

And after a negative reaction
from Lyndall,

he stopped short of telling her
the full extent of his situation.

Um, you know, obviously
I wanted to tell her the truth.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)

But I didn't really know
how to say it

because I'm scared of how Lyndall's
gonna react when I do tell her.

And at the moment, she doesn't know
how much remote work I actually do

and how long I'm away from home.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

Wow! Look like a mermaid.
Thanks. (LAUGHS)

Out of water.

(LAUGHS) Fish out of water, yeah.

(LAUGHS)

I am struggling to see what
the future looks like for us

and how this relationship's
going to work on the outside,

and I know I need to tell her.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Let's go! Let's rip the lid off it.

Let's rip the lid off it.
(LAUGHS) Thank you.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Exhausted by the relentless attacks
on her integrity,

Evelyn is confiding in Rupert

about the revelations made
at last night's girls' night.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

Melinda brought up...
a text message with Harrison.

Harrison showed me messages saying,
"The butt dial's not real."

He is such a little gossip girl,
isn't he?

(LAUGHTER)

I am never gonna hear the end
of this bloody butt dial!

Harrison is sitting there, like,
boil, boil, boil!

(LAUGHTER)

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

RUPERT: Yeah, I don't rate
that behaviour.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

In all honesty, I feel like Harrison
is particularly set

on this butt dial situation.

For him to bring it up again
to Melinda

during the New Pairing task,

I think he plotted this little plan
to discredit me.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Yes, I understand completely
why you feel terrible right now.

Harrison just wanted to bring others
down to his level.

That is all he does.
All he does is stir the pot.

Heading into the dinner party,

I'm just tired of Harrison just
throwing people under the bus...

..and I definitely think he needs
to be held accountable

for constantly bringing
other people down.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

(EXHALES) You look beautiful.
Thank you.

So, I think the best thing
Harrison can do tonight

is sit down
and shut up and eat his steak,

because if I hear anything from him,

the fire inside of me
is gonna come out.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Bronte left girls' night yesterday

after they, once again,
tried to convince her

of Harrison's emotional manipulation,

and today she is seeking reassurance
from her husband.

HARRISON: How was girls' night?

Um...girls' night
was (BLEEP) exhausting.

Um...

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

I feel like I'm constantly having
to defend myself, defend you,

defend our relationship,

and it's like, no matter what I say,

they don't wanna hear it,

and they hear whatever
they want to hear out of my mouth.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

What did...what did you say?

Um, I said
we're in a more positive place,

and how we did a 180

because I have...
we both worked really hard

at this relationship.

(SIGHS)

So, you felt like
they were attacking you?

100%! I wouldn't have left...

But what were they...like,
what were they attacking you over?

I get two different stories.

I get, like, your story
and then I get their story,

and they don't align.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

It sounds like the girls
just wanted an answer

for what she's been saying.

Like, pretty simple stuff.

The flippant, you know,
changing of her mind all the time

from being manipulated
to not being manipulated,

to gaslit to not gaslit,
narcissist, not a narcissist.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

I can't sit here and keep
defending us - myself, you -

'cause I am being punished for being
matched with you and for trying.

You can't badmouth your partner
for weeks on end,

call them every name under the sun,

but stay in the relationship,

and expect that
not to bite you in the arse.

I feel like...I feel like you're
turning this around onto me now.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

What the (BLEEP)?

He's gaslighting me again.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Come on.
(HARRISON SIGHS)

Don't...don't do this to me.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

The...the accusations
got thrown from Melinda

about our relationship being fake
at the couples retreat...

..and then, on the back of that,

like, I've stood by you and I've
said our relationship is not fake.

I've stood by you...

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

..and you're throwing
our relationship away.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

Don't...don't try and make out
like this is just about me.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Don't do it.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

It's...it's beyond unfair.

It's totally unreasonable
for him to sit on that couch

and play victim and act all sad.

Did he once show any sort of empathy
for how I'm feeling?

No, it was, "You're trying
to paint me in a light - me!"

It's all about how Harrison looks,

not about actually caring
about the person in front of him

and how they're feeling
and their emotions.

(SOMBRE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

All I've done is try.

I've defended you,
I've protected you.

I think I've been
a really good wife to you.

(SOMBRE MUSIC CONTINUES)

I'm literally this...
I feel (BLEEP) insane!

(SOMBRE MUSIC CONTINUES)

So, where are you at
with things now?

Like, what do you wanna do?

I can't keep going around
in circles.

Like, if we're honest,
you and I aren't good.

You know, like, we're not.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

What do you want to do?

I can't tell you what I wanna do,
moving forward.

Like, obviously, for tonight,

like, I'm not gonna be
going to the dinner party.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

(EXHALES)

I'm not gonna walk into the
dinner party tonight with Harrison

and act like everything's fine
when it's not.

What are you saying?

I don't know.

I honestly, like, I... (SNIFFS)

..I just don't see how
you and I can...can overcome...

..the hurt that has been inflicted
on both of us

from each other and the group.

(SOMBRE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

I feel completely broken.

(SOMBRE MUSIC CONTINUES)

I wanna hear what you wanna do,
moving forward. I wanna hear it.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Obviously I wanna go home.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

I think that's obvious.

(SIGHS)

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

I have nothing left.

Nothing left.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

I'm literally getting on a plane
and I'm going home.

Like...

..I'm done.

(CRIES)

Yeah, I'm done.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

(EXHALES)

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC BUILDS)

ALESSANDRA: Well, here we are -
dinner party number six.

JOHN: Yes,

and it's gonna be interesting to see
how they've gone with Feedback Week.

Mmm, my hope is that this week
has created opportunities

for some reflection.

For a little bit of self-awareness,

and for our couples
to actually start looking,

beyond the experiment,

think about how is this relationship
gonna work in the outside?

So excited to see
how all the couples went

with the new pairings
that we've done this week.

Exactly.

I mean, those new pairings
really get them

to start looking
at things differently.

Getting feedback
up close and personal.

OLLIE: Oooh!

First ones here!
First in.

Tahnee and Ollie.
Ohh!

(LAUGHS)

How good!

These two have been strong
throughout the experiment.

Yeah.
Haven't they?

Yes, and they display so much ease
with one another.

It's something that I really enjoy
about watching them interact.

They're always so comfortable, and
they just look like a real couple.

I really like
what we got going on here.

It's like an ostrich and Steve Jobs
go on a date or something.

(LAUGHTER)

(LAUGHS)

(AS STEVE JOBS) Here at Apple,
we're reinventing the wheel.

I think it's beautiful. I like it.

Feathery as hell.
It's very bougie.

It is bougie.
Just like me.

Yeah, you're bouge.
(LAUGHS)

You got a bit of bouge about you.
(LAUGHS)

What does an ostrich do?
(MIMICS OSTRICH)

(LAUGHS)
Can you do that...

I'm not doing that.
Babe!

(LAUGHS AND MIMICS OSTRICH)

(LAUGHS)

(UPLIFTING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Hello, hello!

Hi!
Hello!

Yo.
Hi, feathers! (GASPS)

We are chic today.

(RUPERT EXHALES)

(UPLIFTING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

(KISSES)

Hey...

Don't you reckon
he looks like The Rock meme?

Yeah, 100%.

And I put him in the bum bag
and I put him with the chain.

You look stiff, mate.
Did you take a photo of it?

And I took a photo of it,
him doing it.

Classic!

(JAUNTY INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

ALESSANDRA: Rupert and Evelyn.
MEL: Oh, Evelyn.

They do look happy right now.

Yes, they came in strong.
They do.

There's something different here.
Yeah, there is.

It certainly looked like things are
progressing in the right direction.

They seem closer.
Yes.

How was the girls' night?

Well, I came in really positive,

had a few drinks, was having fun,

and then it ended, for me,

with hearing about Harrison

has been trying to make me look
like a crazy liar,

which, really, was not the plan
of the girls' night at all.

That was not
how we were going into it.

That was not how we were
going into it.

I need some context here.

So, Harrison showed Mel text messages

claiming the pocket dial was fake.

I think Harrison's...
what's the word?

Obsessed with pocket dial situation.

It's not a thing.

The butt dial is not a thing
anymore. Let it go.

Tell Evelyn
what Harrison said about us.

Harrison...Harrison insinuated
that he believed that

Tahnee and I's relationship
was not genuine.

Ohh, my god!
Dude.

Ohh!
For goodness' sake.

Please!
He's throwing grenades again.

Absolutely.
Left and right.

I have a bone to pick with him.

When are we gonna start
calling him out

for calling...all of us out
for bullshit?

Like, he just throws stuff
at every single couple.

He gets a little kick out of it.

He does! He enjoys it!
He does.

Gets a little kick out of it.
He does!

Throwing a little...
(MIMICS EXPLOSION)

Yeah.
(LAUGHS)

MAN: Hey!

EVELYN: Matching!
Matching!

MAN: Wow.
Had to be done.

Alyssa and Duncan
in a couples outfit.

Yes.

EVELYN: Very posh, guys.

ALYSSA: Thanks!
I think we're all, like, very...

I know. We stepped it up today.
We did.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

(LYNDALL HUMS)

CAM: I'm stressed out.

I...I love Lyndall as a person.

I obviously have got feelings,
like, strong feelings for Lyndall...

..but then all of a sudden, in
the back of my head, I'm thinking,

"Gotta start looking
at the bigger picture here."

We live in two different states

and I spend a lot of time
out remote.

So, what happens outside
of this experiment?

How do we make it work?

That's the major doubt right there.

Honestly, my mind isn't
on the dinner party tonight.

I feel like my relationship with Cam
at the moment

is a bit, like...awkward.

My feelings for Cam
are quite strong,

but I have no idea what Cam
is actually thinking about

'cause he has a wall up,

and right now, I just...I don't know
what the future looks like.

(CAM EXHALES)

But I wanna make it work.

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

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

(CHEERING)

WOMAN: Look who's on the dancefloor!

EVELYN: Lyndall, that dress...

Cam and Lyndall.

They came in strong,

or at least, they looked like
they came in strong today.

We'll see what's actually going on.

I just feel like I was in this,
like, mode, right?

I was almost, like, in preservation
mode where I was like,

"No, things are good,
and we're gonna keep them good."

Yeah.

And then, like, when we did
the New Pairing swap, I walked in,

and Ollie and I sat down,
and he was like,

"So, I've got some observations
about your relationship,"

and I was like, "OK, cool, alright.
I guess we're doing this."

And then he would, like,
let me say whatever I wanted,

and then, like,
want to understand...

And he's not judging.
He's just...yeah.

And that was something
that I haven't had at all.

Yeah.

And so it was just like... (EXHALES)

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

So, it sounds like Lyndall's
noticing some differences

having spent a little bit of time
with Ollie.

JOHN: Yeah.

A very different man from Cam,

and that she had that opportunity
to talk and to be listened to.

That's exactly why we do it.
It widens the perspective.

You're trying to think of ways
of how to make it work

and, like...is he doing the same,
you know?

I'm just, like, getting a situation
that I have to make work for me.

Yeah, and you've always done that
this whole experiment.

Yeah.

If there's a will, there's a way.

Yeah, it's just whether
there's a will.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

CAM: I do care about Lyndall,
yeah, 100%, I do,

but I think
it's time to face the music

of what happens outside
of this experiment.

MAN: How are you guys going?

Yeah, I suppose we're going...
alright, I suppose.

It's just...it's hard, man.

You're trying to think
about the bigger picture,

and how remote I work.

You're in such a tough sitch, dude.
Yeah.

I kind of spoke to Lyndall
about the fact that I work away,

but I didn't really touch base
on how long I'm away from home.

I've been getting phone calls
from work,

telling me that I've got big jobs
lined up when I get home

that I'm gonna be away
for long periods of time.

(SOMBRE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Yeah, rock and a hard place
at the moment.

It's not as if we're gonna have
just three or four months.

It's gonna be hard, man,
'cause I'm so remote!

Like, it's...don't know. I don't
know how we're gonna work around it.

(STIRRING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

I'm feeling nervous
and a little bit scared.

I know I need to confront it
straight up.

I'm gonna have to tell her, "Hey,
like, listen, this is who I am,"

and I'm scared of hurting her
and potentially breaking her heart.

It's hard.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

NARRATOR: Coming up,

Cameron drops his truth bomb.

I could be out there
for six months to a year.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

LYNDALL: I just went into shock.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

..before Melinda and Layton...

How do you think you made Mel feel
when you said that?

..implode.

I'm gonna do a Bronte!
It was a great night.

WOMAN: Mel?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

I don't want to be in a relationship
like this.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Do we think that Harrison and Bronte
are not coming in together tonight?

ALYSSA: No way!
TAHNEE: I don't know.

No chance!

Mate, it's every other time!

I know, they need to give it
a bloody rest.

We're not going to give any breath
to Harrison and Bronte tonight.

We don't wanna talk about it.

Mmm.

Yeah. I have emotional whiplash.

All I want from Harrison

is for him to admit that he has been
stirring the pot and starting drama

because it's a deflection of
Bronte and Harrison's relationship.

That's all I want.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Just the name Harrison right now
is like nails on a chalkboard.

Trigger word.
Trigger word! (EVELYN LAUGHS)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

Ahh!

(ALL EXCLAIM)

ALYSSA: Oh, Harrison.

We kinda gotta get up.

No Bronte.

MEL SCHILLING: Oh, where is Bronte?

OLLIE: How are you, mate?
HARRISON: Good, good.

Hello, Harrison.
Hi, Harrison.

Hiya.

Yeah, I'm alright. I'm alright.

Gee, the energy's just been sucked
out of the room, hasn't it?

They're almost recoiling from him.

(EXHALES)

Um, I'm gonna grab a...
I'm gonna grab a drink.

I need one.

Will the group still hold him
accountable

now that he's here in the room?

That's the big question.

Time and time again,
he gets on the front foot.

He says, "I'm gonna control
the narrative.

"Hear me. This is my story."

Alright, Harrison,
tell us so we can be over it.

Oh, Alyssa's always
straight in for the kill.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

(HARRISON EXHALES)

What's happened?

Oh, look, I don't really...

Let's all just...let's all just
listen to Harrison, please,

so he doesn't have
to repeat it again.

(STIRRING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Uh, things aren't great between us,
but I don't...

WOMAN: Oh, saved by the door!
Saved by the door!

(LAUGHTER AND CHATTER)

Hello!
Hello. Hey, honey.

You look cute.
LAYTON: Good to see you.

How are you?
I'm good. How are you?

You look amazing!
The sequins, I love.

Hey, Layton. Sorry, you too.
HARRISON: Hello.

Hello. Good. How are you?
Yeah, good.

How are you?
Yeah, I'm good. How are you?

Good.
That's good.

Yes.

CAM: Hi, Mel!
Hi!

How are you?
How are you?

Good! How are you?
Good.

Gee, it's a really different
response

to Harrison tonight, isn't it?

JOHN: Oh, he's gotta feel the tension
in that room, surely!

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

How the (BLEEP) are you two dressed
the same? Like, that's just...

How good!
WOMAN: Literally, you guys...

(LAUGHS) Like...like...serious, man!

How good's that?
(LAUGHTER)

They both have
the same pocket thing.

Everything.
Like, literally, to the 'T'!

How good's that?

The Smurfs.

(LAUGHTER)

I'm loving it!

B1 and B2.

I'm gonna give him B1
for better skeletal structure.

(LAUGHS)

(UPLIFTING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

(WHISTLES) Feeling a bit of tension
in this room.

CAM: There is tension.
Is there?

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Can I just say, Harrison,
what was the intentions

with bringing up butt dial again
with Mel?

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Um...

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

..well, I'm actually disappointed
that that's come back to the group,

because between myself and Mel,

we shared a lot
over those three days...

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

..and we did have discussions that
we agreed would stay between us.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)

That was one of them. So, I'm a bit
disappointed, to be honest.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)

MEL: OK, that's bullshit,

but three days with Harrison
taught me

that Harrison
will always be Harrison.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

So, he's throwing it on Melinda.
Yes, he is.

I think, for me,
it's been addressed now.

I don't really wanna harp on it
anymore.

Can we just put it behind us?

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Well...it's just, like,
where do you draw the line?

Like, I feel like
this has come up every time,

and there's one common denominator,
which is you.

(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

Like, just own it.

(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

EVELYN: Honestly, Harrison,
it just feels like

you are trying to cause a rift...

..because there's always something.

Like, these little digs
that keep coming out,

and honestly, it (BLEEP) hurts,
and it's annoying,

and no-one here is perfect,
but you just keep doing it,

and I know I'm not the only one
that feels that way.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Yep.

(SOMBRE MUSIC)

To their credit,

Evelyn and Rupert are actually
trying to hold him to account.

ALESSANDRA: Yep.
MEL SCHILLING: Mmm.

They're kind of tag-teaming him
at the moment.

Yeah.

And then we're all over it,
and we're all happy,

and we're all gonna eat cake and
talk about none of our feelings!

(SOMBRE MUSIC CONTINUES)

Is this everyone?
WOMAN: Yeah.

MAN: I think it's everyone.
Missing Bronte.

Is Bronte coming?

Do you know, Harrison?
Do you know if she's coming or not?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

I don't really wanna talk about it,
to be honest.

DUNCAN: Alright.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

(GLASS CHIMES)

Dinner is serVED.

SerVED. SerVED.
MAN: SerVED.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

MELINDA: Harrison's got a lot to say
about everyone else...

..but Harrison's here alone.

Is something going on here?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

EVELYN: Where are we?

Rupert, Evelyn.

Layton, Melly!

There's no place card for Bronte.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Like, where is Bronte?

Where is Bronte?

Where is Bronte?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Where is your wife?
Yeah, what's actually going on?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

(GLASS CLANGS)

Well, thank you, all,
for coming to my dinner party.

(LAUGHTER)

MAN: Thanks.
Cheers!

ALL: Cheers!

To barefoot bowls!
ALL: Cheers.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Harrison's here alone.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Like, where is Bronte
and what did you do?

Harrison, where is your wife?
Yeah, what's actually going on?

I'd like answer...
I'd like answers to that as well.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Bronte did not make
an appearance tonight.

No-one knows where she is,
not even Harrison.

Seriously, Harrison, it's your wife.

Yeah, what's actually going on?
I would love to know.

Like, why are you here eating dinner
when you don't have your wife?

What...I can't come
and hang out with my friends?

(LAUGHTER)

Well, he ain't my friend.
Is he your friend?

Look, he's a...he's a...

..he's a guy.

Am I...am I seriously gonna be
attacked for Bronte's choices?

Attacked?
No, no, hey, hey, yeah...

Wow.

I feel...I feel like, yeah,

I'm being attacked
for Bronte not being here.

Harrison, nobody's trying
to attack you.

I think everyone is just asking.

It's your wife.
Yeah.

You're probably the last person
that saw her...

Yeah, I saw...

..and none of us know
why she's not here.

So, we want a bit of context,
that's all. Thank you.

Yeah, but I don't need to be
reminded of who she is.

I know she's my wife.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Um, I sat down with Bronte
this morning.

Um...um...

..yeah, Bronte essentially said
again, like, "I can't do this."

She's done.

She can't put any more into this,
um, and she wants to go home, so...

..yeah, a bit of a rough day.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

It's so weird, like, I watched
this guy talk smack about Bronte

for three days in my place,

and now he's doing the,
like, "Woe is me."

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

That's bullshit.

MEL SCHILLING: The group
are so fatigued by his patterns -

that constant blocking,
redirecting, distracting.

He's lost his power.

JOHN: Well, he's not there with
Bronte beside him diluting it all.

He is literally on an island tonight.

My question is, last week,

and you know, you said,
"Gonna end it, it's done."

Is there a chance that you're gonna
write 'stay' tomorrow?

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

EVELYN: You guys are staying.
WOMAN: We had this last week, yeah.

They're not going anywhere.

(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

Unequivocally, no - there's no
chance I'm writing 'stay' tomorrow.

MAN: Is that a no chance?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

No chance.
Does Bronte know that?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Uh, yeah, yeah.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

And has she said she agrees or...

Have I told Bronte that
specifically? No.

Oh.

But from the vibe
of our conversation,

does she know that the relationship
is essentially done?

I think so.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Like, it was pretty brutal.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Ohh, do I buy it? No!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)

I really don't.

With all due respect,

we've been here to listen to you

time and time and time and time
and time again.

(LAUGHTER)

Honestly, it's emotionally
exhausting for all of us.

I man, no-one's relationship's
perfect,

but we did have a good long run
of being really great together.

It's not like
it's been a yo-yo every week.

Like, we did have a block in there
where we were really good.

Uh...it's been up and down.

Most of us came to this experiment
to find love,

and we need to focus
on real relationships

that are going through
really hard times

that need actual help

and actual attention
from the rest of the group.

So, if we can stop talking
about Harrison and Bronte,

I'm happy with that.

I would rather talk
about French toast.

I would rather talk about anything

other than Harrison and Bronte's
relationship.

I think at the end of the day, like,

obviously, we're really close
to the end of the experiment,

and it is a really good opportunity

to talk about what struggles
we're going through.

Like, if you have, like,
real feelings for each other,

it is scary.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

CAM: Alyssa's right.
I care about Lyndall a lot.

She's amazing,
and I don't want to hurt her,

but it's starting to come
to real life.

We've got not that long left.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

I think it's time to face the music.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)

Time to face what happens
outside of this experiment.

I'm shitting myself.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Evelyn? Want some?

EVELYN: Oh, yes, please.

That's the nicest thing
you've ever done for me, Harrison.

Don't get used to it.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

OLLIE: Evvie, you got anything
you wanna add there?

You looked like your body language
perked up a little bit. No?

I think you didn't read that...
OK! (LAUGHS)

..situation very well,
and I got nothing.

(LAUGHTER)

LAYTON: There it is!

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

LYNDALL: Everyone's talking
and having a good time...

(CHATTER)

..but the situation with Cam
and I...is a bit weird, actually!

I feel like Cam is in a,
like, weird, sad, sulky mood.

I have no idea what's going on.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

MELINDA: How are you two going?

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

I don't know.

I think the biggest concern
I've got after this experiment

is where I'm gonna be at.

MAN: Yeah, what does it look like
for you?

Like, living out in the Territory

and with, like, my remote work.

I've spent the last eight years
focusing on my career

to get to the position
where I'm at now.

OLLIE: So, is it saying that
Lyndall needs to move for Cam?

Like, Lyndall needs
to be flexible for Cam?

Well, I said
what's the point of moving?

Why would you move from Perth
from all your family

when I'm not gonna be in Darwin -
I'll still be out remote?

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Cam's approach, though, we've seen
right the way through the experiment,

is very black and white.

MEL SCHILLING: He's showing
no flexibility at all.

ALESSANDRA: No, of course.

It seems like an excuse to me.
I think so too.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

I told Lyndall, if she moved,

it's not gonna change the fact
that I'm still gonna be away.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

There's pretty much no point
in me moving to Darwin

because Cam is gonna work
out bush anyway.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

When a couple are, potentially,

about to step into
a long-distance relationship,

and one partner says,

"Don't move just for me,
there have to be other reasons,"

it's a lack of commitment.

If the relationship is going well,
you say,

"Great! Let's jump in both feet
and see how we can make it work."

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

You're fly-in, fly-out
kind of thing?

Not really.
No.

Drive in, drive out.

Some places I could be 900 plus kays
away from an airport.

There's times where I could
be out there for two weeks,

I could be out there for a month,

I could be out there
for six months to a year.

(MAN EXCLAIMS)

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

And you still have, like
reception and phone?

Some places I have got reception,
some places I don't.

Wow!
I know.

It was an incredibly hard
conversation,

hearing the extent
of Cam's remote work.

Like, I knew that he's gonna be
out working remote,

but I didn't realise
just how long he'd be away.

I just...went into shock.

I actually really don't know
what we're going to do.

So, if, when you come back,
it's to Darwin,

why can't it just be to Perth?

Isn't that what you said...
Because that's where my career is.

I can't just drop that
at the moment.

I have to work around work.

A big thing with Cameron,
coming into the experiment,

was being able to break away

from the way that he has chosen
to live his life up until now.

He came in saying, "I want to change
things about my lifestyle."

Change. That's right.

"This kind of life that I'm living,
about being so distant and so..."

Isolated.
"..far away, isolated."

Yeah!

Is he getting cold feet here?

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

So, do you guys see a future
outside of this?

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

I want to see a future
outside of this,

but I just feel like,
being outside of the experiment

is really gonna challenge us.

(MELANCHOLY MUSIC)

What Cam's saying right now is
running the risk of losing Lyndall.

I think Lyndall deserves a man
who's emotionally intelligent

and can say, "I want you.
I'm ready for you.

"I'm willing to change my life
for you."

Yeah, it's gonna be
a massive challenge for us.

(MELANCHOLY MUSIC CONTINUES)

She deserves someone that's going
to bloody claim her and be like,

"That's my girl. I want that woman."

(MELANCHOLY MUSIC CONTINUES)

And I think Cam needs
to bloody realise that!

MAN: Lyndall, what's your...
how do you feel?

(SIGHS)

I'm in a bit of a weird place,

because I was under the impression
that, like, I would move to Darwin,

but now the situation is,

can I handle
a long-distance relationship?

And is that relationship gonna
survive that long-distance thing?

Because the long-distance thing
is hectic.

We're gonna be completely apart.

Completely apart -
not even text messages.

That is what I'm staring
down the barrel of.

Like, you wanna go back to your
career without any kind of...

..move...like, moulding me
into that.

WOMAN: You want some compromise.
You want some budge.

And I'm wondering whether or not

I'm gonna be able
to be OK with that.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

It's getting extremely hard

to be super positive
about our relationship,

because he doesn't really see me
being a part of his plan.

Cam said, "Well, this is my career
and this is my plan."

There's no real option. There's no
real compromise from there.

It's actually incredibly hurtful

to hear that
he's not considering me at all.

Cam kind of knew his situation
coming in...

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

..and I just don't really know
what I'm supposed to do about it.

How do you want it to look?
How do you want this to work?

I want you to come to Perth,

and I want you to strap on
rollerblades,

and to get to know my friends,

and to come to the beach
and see the weather,

and...at least know...
what my life is there.

But I can't just drop the hat
when I get home and be like,

"Right, I'm just gonna pack up
and go and do those things."

OLLIE: Can I ask this, Cam?

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Is there a world
where you would quit your job?

(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

Because that's probably what needs
to happen, or at least a pivot.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Would you do that for Lynners?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Um...

..the...like, I just...

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Is there a world
where you would quit your job?

Because that's probably what needs
to happen, or at least a pivot.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Would you do that for Lynners?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Um...

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

..I want it to work.

Like, I love Lyndall as a person.

If this split you, would you both
be heartbroken over this?

It'd be...
yeah, of course it would be.

Like, we're this far
into this experiment.

If you don't have feelings
for each other,

what's the point of being here?

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

But I'm between a rock
and a hard place here.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Um...

..it's what I wanna do
with my life, man.

It's why I've built this career.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

JOHN: Well, how do you have
a relationship?

I'm not gonna move,
and I'm not gonna change anything,

and I'm not gonna meet you halfway,

and I'm not, and I'm not,
and I'm not.

And even if you move to Darwin...
I won't see you.

..I'll only see you
four weeks a year.

He's really showing his lack of
experiment here in a relationship.

No flexibility at all.
No, of course.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

So sad.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

So, when you came in, like,
we all got asked the question,

"Would you move for love?"

What was your answer at that time,
before coming in?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

I just said...

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

..that I would move for love, yeah.

Oh!
Ohh!

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

I don't know whether Cam understands
what he's actually saying.

The whole group realises
what he's saying here.

Yeah.

Lyndall certainly does as well.

(SOMBRE MUSIC)

My game plan was
to get to finish off my career.

Like, it was,
but I wanted to find love as well,

and I think I'm at the point
where, like, I want it to work,

but I also...I just feel like it's
just gonna...

..yeah, it's gonna be
a massive challenge for us.

(MELANCHOLY MUSIC BUILDS)

LYNDALL: I think a lot
of the questions

that the group asked Cam...

..were questions
that I had myself...

..and hearing that
he came into this experiment

thinking that
if he met the right person,

he would give up this job,
he would move.

(MELANCHOLY MUSIC CONTINUES)

So, it was devastating...

..that I'm not the person
he was willing to do that for.

That's the thing that hurts.

(MELANCHOLY MUSIC CONTINUES)

(SIGHS)

I don't think you understand
how much I like you.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

You OK?

I think Cam and Lyndall,

what they've gotta confront
in the coming weeks, months,

is pretty full on.

Distance is a concern
that we have too.

So, I get it.

We know it's not gonna be easy,
but it's worth it.

I think the difference between us
is, you know,

I think we've had that discussion

and we're both kind of willing
to make it work, no matter what.

(MELANCHOLY MUSIC CONTINUES)

It's just a shame.

I think Lyndall is holding back
on her needs and wants

because she wants to make
the relationship work,

and I feel like I'm not sure
if Cam is in that same headspace.

ALYSSA: Look, I think if you guys
want it to work...

..you can definitely
both make it work.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

You have no idea what it's gonna look
like when we get out of here.

You may get out, in a week's time,
and be like,

"Shit! I've really missed Lyndall."

And Lyndall's gonna be like,
"Shit, I really miss Cam."

(HOPEFUL MUSIC SWELLS)

And you're gonna be like,
"I'm on the first flight to Perth."

(SOMBRE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

HARRISON: You know what's funny?

I just love calling out bullshit
where I see it.

I have so much hope for you guys.

Cam and Lyndall's relationship's
not gonna survive.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Like... (MIMICS IMPACT)

..time to...time to nip this
in the bud.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

I feel like, this late in the game,

everyone's trying to sort out
where that relationship fits

in amongst the hierarchy

of whatever commitments
are personal to them,

whether it be a career...

..whether it be their lifestyle.

I kind of feel like,
this late in the experiment,

I feel like everyone
should be trying

to prioritise
the relationship over...

Harrison...

..I think that's really rich
coming from you.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Wow!

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

LYNDALL: Would you mind passing
the white down? Thank you!

ALYSSA: Layton,
tell us about your drama.

(LAUGHTER)
MAN: Straight into it, eh?

So, start with the things that are
going bad and then...no, I'm jok...

Um...there is...

..like, there is a lot of things
that you gotta think about

that are really quite serious.

For me, distance is less
of one of those issues,

because for me -
I've made this clear to Mel -

that I've got friends in Brissie,

I've got my...some family
that are pretty close there,

but it is a big...
it's still a big step,

and I feel like...I've never lived
with a partner before.

This is the longest I've spent
with someone...probably ever.

Lucky you!
Lucky me.

And I sort of often think, you know,

we've got so many similarities,

um...but even though there's only
a couple of differences...

..are those differences so strong
they cause compatibility issues?

And I don't know the answer to that.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

I feel like we are
super, super passionate,

and so there might be
very simple things

that we might see very differently,

and it becomes very difficult
for us to see eye-to-eye

or meet in the middle sometimes.

Like, for example,

I really didn't feel comfortable
about this activity,

you know, the partner swap,

and we got into a bit of
a heated discussion about it,

and I had said to Mel,

"I'm really not comfortable moving
in with someone else's wife,

"and I'm not comfortable
with someone else's husband

"moving in with my wife,"

specifically the person that Mel
had, only 30 minutes prior, said,

"This is the person
I hate most in the world."

With Harrison...
In the world?!

Hey! Let's take...let's take...
He's a bit dramatic.

(LAUGHS)

Can we take the comedy out of it?

'Cause it's actually
quite serious for me.

I don't feel great!

Seeing them laugh at me, it really
doesn't make me feel great,

and it makes me think that Mel isn't
taking my concerns really seriously.

You know, I don't wanna feel
like I'm not being supported.

I sat there and I felt like
I had Mel and Harrison on the couch,

trying to convince me
against that decision together,

and I felt like I've supported...

Not convince, give some perspective.
Mel!

Let me cut in here,
because it's our story!

But can I just finish
how I'm feeling?

Not just yours.
But this is how I felt.

You often criticise me
for cutting in

and now you're not
letting me finish....

OK, then finish.

You can finish, babe, like...
Oh, jeez!

So, we're having thar argument,

and we're trying to work through
that, and I'm just trying to...

..I've got two sisters and a mum,
and I'm just thinking,

"I've gotta be true
to my morals as well," right?

I mean, I still felt like I could
give Bronte what she needed

by doing it in a separate
apartment, I mean, simple as that.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

It's almost like he misinterpreted
the activity

and he thought that it was
about couple swapping.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

JOHN: Let's just keep in mind
we gave him a rocket

about being too inside his head,
overanalysing everything,

and he needed to get
into his feelings,

'cause that's something
that he can't do.

He's all about the pros, the cons,
you know, and thinking,

and we did that task

in the hope that he would get
into his emotional side.

DUNCAN: I thought there was
two parts to the task.

One was doing the tasks,
and the other part was

spending time with someone
that you didn't choose to,

but just working out
how that...works.

EVELYN: Oh, thanks, Duncan!
(LAUGHTER)

(LAUGHTER)

Layton said, "Oh, no,
I did the tasks with Bronte."

Well, the task was spending
three days with somebody

that you didn't choose
to spend with,

but you had to coexist with them,

learn from them,
get some ideas from them.

That was the task
that the experts set.

WOMAN: Me and Cam had a great time!

I tell you what,
we had a field day!

ALYSSA: I'm really close with Mel,

and I can really see it
from her point of view,

and Layton - I just feel like
he's so closed-minded!

I feel like it's very important
to be open-minded,

especially in an experience
like this.

And I think
what the whole task was about

was seeing it from
other person's...perspective,

whether it be Harrison,
whether it be Duncan.

Like, Layton,
would you have been upset

or felt like you were being,
you know,

not the right morals and stuff

if it was, like, me and Duncan
that you guys were, like...

Yeah, 'cause you said if it was
Ollie or Duncan, it would be...

Like, it was just a perspective.

It wasn't, like, a temptation thing.

Keys in a bowl.

Come on, man!

How are you helping the situation
by saying rubbish like that?

ALESSANDRA: I think it has to do
with it being Harrison,

because he knows Harrison,
he knows the way Harrison operates,

and manipulates,
and Harrison is loving it.

HARRISON: Can I ask you a question?

When you made the comment
about morals and values,

that you didn't feel comfortable
with it...

..how do you think you made Mel feel
when you said that?

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

MELINDA: This is the thing.

You were telling me you didn't do it
because of your morals and values,

which means, if I'd do it,
I don't have good morals and values,

and I sat there
feeling so guilty over it.

Well, you certainly didn't look
like you were guilty

when you and Harrison were sitting
there - and now you're laughing.

I didn't laugh!

I feel like I'm reliving it
right now.

Well, again, this is exactly
how I felt when I'm there,

telling you guys...

I knew, as soon as this came up,
we were gonna butt heads.

I was also sceptical, like Layton
is, with the task, you know?

But I'm just the type of person,
I never say no tot a challenge.

Getting outside your comfort zone
grows you,

and so what about what I need?

It just feels like it's all about
how Layton feels in this,

and Layton's opinions.

That's not healthy for us.

So, how do we make this work?

JOHN: And he's the only one
in this entire experiment

that boycotted it
and refused to do it.

And a lot of the other participants
and couples

saw some real gain to the experience

and he seems
to not even recognise that.

No, that's right, and a lot of them,
I'm sure, felt the same way,

but they did it.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

You said to me - this was a test -
you said, "Mel, you do it..."

How is that a test?

"My morals and values will not allow
me, but you can do it."

And then, when I did it,
you were like,

"I just hoped that you wouldn't."

Then you did the three days
away from me,

and you chose to have one more
night, just to punish me more!

Oh, my...Mel.
That's what it felt like!

All I wanted was just your support,

and I didn't feel like I had it,
that's it.

I try and support you!
You don't let me!

Why would I not support you?

How many times have I said...
OK.

..that I supported you,
if you'd just let me support you?

I respect your decision.

Did I not say last night
that I respect it?

OK, but...
What are you doing - tit for tat?!

But in the moment, Mel -
that's what we're talking about.

I didn't get a chance!
You Wall of China and shut me out!

I felt like it was
a confrontation position

with Harrison and Mel together.

I felt like there were times

where they started laughing
together, mocking me...

No, you're saying that now.
That's how I felt, Mel!

You felt Harrison as a threat!
You made a joke...

You said it would be OK
with Ollie or Duncan.

You said...
No, I did not say that!

You started joking
about putting keys in a bowl!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

What the hell did he just say?

That's bullshit. That's not true.

I'm gonna do a Bronte!
It was a great night.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

I try and support you!
You don't let me!

You started joking about
putting keys in a bowl!

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

I'm gonna do a Bronte!
It was a great night.

WOMAN: No, no, no!
Mel. Mel. Mel, Mel, Mel!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

That shit in there, it's not true!

WOMAN: Babe...
That's not true!

I know.
WOMAN: Hey, hey.

He's trying to tit for tat
to get everyone on his side!

MEL SCHILLING: Wow.

Their fight style really came out
for the group to see,

and it was ugly.

Yep.

The dynamic that he and Melinda
have created in their relationship

is very closed up

and it's very much about
that tug-of-war between them.

You know, and that gridlock
just went on and on.

These guys need to let go of
point-scoring and being right,

and just talk, and hear
the other person's point of view.

You just said that, moments before,
I was saying I don't like Harrison.

Why would you gang up against...?
WOMEN: Yeah!

I feel like he was quick to be like,

"Mel did this, this, this."

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

We're in this position because
YOU got angry over the task.

You got angry.

I think that
because of Mel and I's personality,

both being so passionate,

um, and both being
really headstrong,

when we get into arguments,

it can blow up and they can get
really uncomfortable.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

I feel like, um,
we go from zero to 100,

and it makes me think that

there is just something
that makes us incompatible.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Maybe Mel and I just bring out
the worst in each other.

I know I've gotta work
on so many things,

but you know, I feel like
still there's some things

that Mel needs to work on as well,

and I feel really uncomfortable
saying that

'cause I don't wanna throw Mel
under the bus, 'cause she's...

..I like so many things about Mel.

Yep.

But I think, sometimes,
behind closed doors,

maybe there's...you know,
we're not coming together

and meeting in the middle.

Yep.

And there are some real underlying
issues that we've got that are so...

..that, if we don't
get those right...

(SOMBRE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

..how can we...
how can you move forward

and have a family with this person?

You know, I wanna have children
and a family in five years,

and what if we're still in
this position in two, three years,

where we have an argument
that's so heated

that it just becomes exhausting?

(SOMBRE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

I care about Mel heaps...

..but I know that I don't want
to be in a relationship like this.

Um...yeah, it's really tough.

(SOMBRE MUSIC CONTINUES)

(EXHALES)
That's OK! Oh!

I know.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

It's rough, man. It's really rough.

(MELINDA CRIES)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)

NARRATOR: Sunday night...

Welcome, everybody, to
the very final commitment ceremony.

..after eight intense weeks,

and with homestays
just around the corner...

WOMAN: Finally took those
rose-coloured glasses off

and I've finally woken up!

..will Bronte, at long last,

finally deliver the decision
the group has been waiting for?

Um...

Plus...

What makes you think
that you're not good enough?

..Ollie's emotional revelation...

Um...

..and a surprising confession
no-one saw coming...

I've got insecurities.
Were you jealous?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

..before Evelyn...

I think this is probably the time
to make a statement to someone.

..delivers a personalised message

for this year's
most controversial groom.

Harrison?

Yes, Evelyn?
