NARRATOR: Previously,
homestays saw our couples...

TAHNEE: Here we are.

..get a taste of married life
outside the experiment.

ALYSSA: I'm available every other
weekend and on every Wednesday.

If you think that that was a normal
relationship, that scares me.

Love deepened for some.

OLLIE: I love all the moments.

I just don't want to get away
from you.

EVELYN: Me and Rupert
have been intimate.

Adult cuddles happened.

But a trip to Darwin...

I came all this way and you don't
even want to kiss me.

It was just the one kiss.

..saw Lyndall
searching for affection.

Cam said this whole time,
"It's gonna be different.

"Like, I'm a different person
when I'm home." Silly me.

And while Melinda and Layton
contemplated their future...

MELINDA: We're both
intelligent enough

to know that it may not ever work.

..Harrison finally met his match...

You're not gonna sit here
and be held accountable

for being a narcissistic,
gaslighting dickhead!

..when Bronte's sister exposed
his manipulative behaviour.

Tonight...

It's Bronte's turn
to answer the questions,

so you need to just respectfully
chill the f...

..the final dinner party
of the experiment...

I'm done with YOU!

..goes off with a bang.

We're done, we're over and I just
never want to see you again.

..before the experts reveal
one last task...

WOMAN: Oh, no.

..as our couples make their big
decision at the upcoming final vows.

OLLIE: Let's crack it open.

What's in the box?
What's in the box?

One wife confesses her love.

That's big.

But for some...

DUNCAN: How confident are you
that this will last on the outside?

Are you falling in love with me?

How attracted do you think I am
to you?

Um...

..shocking answers...

I honestly don't think
that I'm the right person for you.

..will lead to one couple...

ALYSSA: I was never gonna be enough
for him.

..leaving the experiment tonight.

You are such an arsehole.

(GASPS) Wow.

But who will it be?

WOMAN: It was, like,
ending in front of everybody.

After eight life-changing weeks,

the end of the experiment
has arrived.

Returning to Skye Suites
following homestays

and with final vows
just around the corner,

our brides and grooms
are dressing to impress

for the final dinner party
of the experiment.

That pink is so perfect
with my outfit.

You like?
Yeah, I really love it.

That's all that matters, then.

Awesome.

I'm gonna do a red lip.
Really?

Yeah.

So, no kisses tonight. (LAUGHS)

(KISSES)
There you go.

So, Tahnee and I,
we've had a really good homestay.

You know, I saw the sights of Bondi.

What a place. Busy as all get-out.

Cute little house.

And you were like
bloody Mary Poppins in that joint.

Like, constantly just pulling out
things.

I'm, like,
"Where's this coming from?"

Every where's got a spot.

Yeah, I had a really nice time.

I'm excited to hear
how everyone's homestays went.

100%.

Do I really want to move to Bondi?

Yeah, I would if Tahnee's there.

I don't think it really matters.

I think that's what I'm obviously
moving for.

Not bothered about the location.

If she lived out on a farm
in the Blue Mountains,

that's gonna probably be
some other questions.

Are there farms
in the Blue Mountains? I'm not sure.

In stark contrast
to Tahnee and Ollie,

who haven't looked back

since they first locked eyes
on their wedding day...

(LAUGHS)

..Melinda and Layton
have had to work hard

to get their relationship
to where it is

and this is left Layton wondering
how they will survive

outside the experiment

without the guidance of the experts.

LAYTON: I feel like I'm reflecting
on the time that I've spent here

and it does weigh on my mind a lot

that Mel's really emotional
and I'm really logical and rational.

I think that because I've sort of
been on my own path,

my own journey for ten, 15 years,

that I've had to become
really resilient,

so, you know, because of that,

I find emotional connection
quite challenging, you know,

opening myself up
and letting someone in.

I feel like now we're sort of coming
to the end of this journey,

you know, did we do enough,
you know, like,

in the time that we were here?

Everyone just had homestays

and when they ask you, like,
"How did homestays go?"

like, what's your first initial
response, do you think?

Well, I think it was...
It was up and down.

I feel like we both want
a relationship to work together...

but I think we're both
intelligent enough...

to know that it may not ever work.
(CRIES)

Oh... (BLEEP)

Come here. (KISSES)

Oh...

But I think there were some positive
things that came from it.

If there's anything that needs to be
left on the table,

now's the time to do it

and so cheers... Cheers.
..to our last dinner party.

For Evelyn,

despite consummating her marriage
with Rupert during homestays,

there is one thing
at the forefront of her mind

heading into the final dinner party
- Rupert's outfit.

You're giving me
Dr Evil vibes today.

I don't quite know
who that is but... Do this.

Is he the bald fella?
Do this.

(LAUGHS)
Is he the bald guy...

off 'The Minions'?

Do you know the 'Minions' fella?

What are you talking about?
The bald 'Minions' fella.

No, it's 'Austin Powers', Dr Evil.

Anyway, you look stunning.
Thank you.

Yeah.
I appreciate it.

I love this little... What is it?

Like, unhealthy pee colour,
isn't it?

(LAUGHS) You're pulling it off,
though.

Why are you like this?
You're pulling it off.

Why are you like this?
I don't get it.

(LAUGHS) What do you mean?

Why are you like this?
Like what?

Like, how...
Does my mind work like that?

I don't think it DOES work.

Like, in what world,
in what universe

do you think complimenting your wife
saying

"I love your dress, it looks like
an unhealthy pee colour..."

Like, before that comes
out of your mouth, do you think,

"Oh, you know what,
that's gonna be a great compliment"?

Yeah.
(LAUGHS)

It's definitely been a slow burn
with Rupert and I, to say the least.

I think the main thing that Rupert
and I have been struggling with

since the day of our wedding

is understanding each other
and communication.

This is where we talk.

Yeah...

Like, he doesn't really say
the nicest things

and I've been very patient
to understand that

but it's hard for me to defend him,
you know.

Am I a good cuddler?

You are a very good cuddler, Rupert.

Thank you.

Did you put deodorant
on this morning?

And more troubling for Evelyn,
Rupert's foot-in-mouth disease

reared its head yet again
when meeting her mother.

So, this relationship, you will be
keep going on or you will give up?

I want to focus on now.

Like, I think if I find myself

thinking about what we're doing
in a month or two time,

like, that'll stress me out
and I'll not be myself around you.

Now that I've scratched the surface
and really gotten to know Rupert,

I know that everything he does
and everything he says

all comes from a good place,

even though he's as graceful with
his words as a bull in a china shop.

Jeez, your arse does look good
in that...

Oh, my god.
..in that piss-yellow.

Following a catastrophic homestay,

where Bronte's sister Kirra
grilled Harrison

and highlighted his gaslighting
behaviour for Bronte to see,

the couple have now returned
to Sydney

and are staying
in separate apartments.

They are now further apart
than at any point in the experiment

and will enter the final dinner
party alone.

It doesn't matter what boundaries
I put in place

or what dealbreakers I establish
with Bronte,

they mean nothing to her.

Essentially, at homestays,

Bronte and her sister
attacked me in public.

So, are you still in that mindset
in the relationship

where you would want her to move
to Sydney - yes or no?

Yes.
You would?

And I don't feel like I've got
any of that reassurance from Bronte

this entire time.

So, in the conversation, did you
ever say that you would move,

like, you would definitely move?

BRONTE: 100%. Multiple times.

What are you talking about?
None of that stuff ever happened.

I feel like you're always trying to
play victim.

It's always trying to make Bronte
look bad.

I'm not gonna sit here
and be told...

No, you're not gonna sit here
and be held accountable

for being a narcissistic,
gaslighting dickhead!

Don't treat my sister...

Goodbye. See you later.

And that, ladies and gentlemen,
is a coward.

Bro, in the bin.

It was like two hyenas
trying to attack a lion

and the lion just walks away.

He knows... He knows who he is.

He doesn't have to square up
to a couple of little hyenas.

Yeah, the final dinner party
and I'm walking in by myself.

I actually feel the most confident
that I have felt this entire time.

You know, it's funny
what a little bit of home can do

for one's self-esteem
and for one's clarity.

Being around my sister

just gave me so much insight
into this relationship.

Harrison and I haven't spoken
one word to each other

since he walked off,

so I would rather walk in by myself

than walk in with somebody
who has ill intentions.

This relationship is done.

You know, at the end of the day,
like, with this whole experiment,

I said this to myself coming in,
that love isn't guaranteed

but I definitely think I'm leaving
with more love for myself.

With one relationship confirmed
to be all but over,

Alyssa and Duncan also find
themselves at a difficult juncture

in their marriage

following a testing homestay.

DUNCAN: I was hoping homestays
would give me much more clarity

and, like, reassurance

but the talking about, you know,

we can see each other on Wednesday
and Sunday or every second weekend,

I just thought...

I don't know, that it's not...
that it might not be right.

How does it make you feel, like,

the fact that you probably will be
second priority?

Oh, that part's fine, actually.
Fine?

Yeah.
Really?

ALYSSA: It'll be
like every other weekend

and maybe, like, a Wednesday
here or there.

But, like, your job's really hectic
during the week,

where I feel like the weekends
are probably the only time

that we will actually be able to
spend time together.

And that will only be
every other weekend.

Do you think the last three or four
weeks was a good relationship?

Do you?
No.

If you think that that was like
a normal or OK relationship,

that scares me.

Makes me feel really worried

that I don't know if Alyssa
has had thoughts

about what a great relationship
should look like.

Do you think the things
that we discussed at the final date

were new things?

Bit of a reality check for me,
I guess.

I don't think there's any more
clarity I can get.

I feel like even if we had a year's
worth of time to speak about it,

we would just continuously
go around in circles.

My love for Duncan and my care for
Duncan isn't gonna change overnight

but, yeah, I'm really...

I'm really not sure
where my head is at right now

but it's definitely not
where I thought it was gonna be

even a week ago.

JOHN: So, here we are, the final
dinner party for this experiment

and it is a really pivotal moment
for the whole process

because these guys are so close now
to making this final decision

of whether they take their
relationship into the real world.

And we get to present to them
the honesty box tonight.

MEL: There probably
are people here tonight

who think "Let's just go
under the radar..."

Mm-hm. Mm-hm.

.."let's just get through the dinner
and leave," but not a chance.

No such luck.

RUPERT: I feel like Alyssa and
Duncan haven't been on homestays,

which is what they wanted
the whole time, like,

to get out of the experiment...

I reckon they would've thrived

and they'll be sitting in there
pretty...

And what's so unique
about this honesty box

is that we've designed it
to really make them come clean

about what they really want
from a relationship

and whether their intimate partner
is compatible or not.

There they are,
Alyssa and Duncan first couple in.

Not even holding hands.

Looking very separate.
Oooh, dear.

Very frosty.

DUNCAN: Big or small?

ALYSSA: Whatever.

MEL: She's not happy tonight...

ALESSANDRA: No, she is not happy.
..that's for sure.

Well, considering we're gonna drop
the honesty box on them as well,

that is not a good sign.
No.

DUNCAN: How are you going?

ALYSSA: What do you think?

JOHN: She can withdraw and retreat
and go very cold

and he then walks on eggshells.

MEL: Yes.
And we've seen it.

Who's here?

Ha.
OK.

Hey, hey.
Saved by the door.

And, you know,
probably she'll warm up now.

Evelyn and Rupert are here.
Break the ice.

ALYSSA: How was homestays?
EVELYN: We had fun.

RUPERT: Good.

Cheers, guys.
Cheers.

How about you guys?

(CLEARS THROAT)

Should we sit down?

What the hell? It feels like
someone's died in this room.

We've walked into a funeral.

Did Duncan take you on the boat?

He says he never takes anyone
on the boat.

OK. That's not true.

The boat date was great until the
last hour, then it went very foul...

What, just seasick or...? (LAUGHS)

Uh, you could say that.
(HALF-LAUGHS)

We were, like, sitting down.

Duncan have made, like,
this cute, like, charcuterie board

and I was, like, ready to tell him,
like, how I'm falling for him

and I can't wait to see
how things go and then...

Major.

..yeah, he pretty much ripped
our entire relationship apart.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

RUPERT: Did Duncan take you
on the boat?

He says he never takes anyone
on the boat.

OK. That's not true.

We were, like, sitting down.

Duncan had made, like,
this cute, like, charcuterie board

and I was, like, ready to tell him,
like, how I'm falling for him

and I can't wait to see
how things go and then...

Major.

..yeah, he pretty much ripped
our entire relationship apart.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

DUNCAN: I think that's a pretty
strong sentence for Alyssa to say...

and it's pretty hard to hear.

Well, from my perspective,

I think homestays are about
having a lot of fun together

but also talking about concerns
you have

and the things you want to, like,
work through.

And so, like, if that's classified

as, you know,
ripping someone's heart out...

EVELYN: Are you guys
on the same page now, though?

Definitely not. Definitely not.

Right.

JOHN: He's pointing out here that
Alyssa's thinking is catastrophic.

She has a hard time with feedback

that she feels is not flattering
or positive in her eyes.

You guys will get through it.

Yeah, I don't know.

I've never heard you say that
before.

It's tough.

Hey.

Matching pink.
OLLIE: Hello, hello.

ALESSANDRA: Look at these two,
matchy-matchy.

Golly, that is a very couple outfit.

I love it. So cute.

TAHNEE: Look at you!

I suspect these two have had
a fantastic homestay.

Mate, Bondi. Lived it up.
(LAUGHS)

Tonight, I'm vibing.
I'm straight vibing.

I love these dinner parties

because you find out things
you don't even know.

Do you want to hear a secret?
Yeah. (BLEEP) yes.

What?
(BLEEP) off.

Yeah.

(ALESSANDRA LAUGHS)
Translation, they had sex.

They had sex.
(LAUGHS)

TAHNEE: So, thoughts,
feelings, emotions about it?

Yeah, I definitely think
it's more like me taking the lead.

OK. Are you fine with that?
No.

OK. You want him to take charge.
Yes.

He's just a bit goofy.
Yeah.

You know what,
his heart's in the right place.

Yeah. There's not a malicious bone
in his body. No.

Who is it? Oh, Harrison.

ALESSANDRA: Solo Harrison.
Harrison's alone.

HARRISON: Nice to see you.
TAHNEE: Nice to see you.

It's been their pattern,
up and down. Oh...

They're better one week,
they're not good the other.

HARRISON: Lads. How are we?
DUNCAN: Good.

It was fine. Like... (HALF-LAUGHS)

OLLIE: Well, well, well.

When Harrison walked in by himself,
I thought, "Oh, shit.

"Here we go again."

Harrison, I want to know,
did you love Perth?

I really liked Perth, yeah.

Got there, like, went to the beach
together, went to, like, a winery...

And then, on the last night
we were there,

Bronte just viciously attacked me...

and Bronte's sister
started shouting,

"Oh, you're a gaslighting,
narcissistic dickhead."

EVELYN: Finally,
someone grew the cojones

to stand up to the big boofhead.

You can't talk to someone like that.

Bronte didn't defend me.

Bronte's finally got full-on support
from...

Her sister.
..the sister...

and perhaps found her voice.

Didn't even make sure
I got home safe.

I didn't even see her until, like,
at the airport the next day.

Listening to Harrison
speak right now,

he is most definitely playing
the victim card.

I feel like my boundaries
in this relationship

have been seriously violated, right?

Yeah, let's go.

No, no, we're just gonna...

We're just gonna have
a girls' chat...over there.

Yeah, sorry.

(SIGHS)

OLLIE: Hey.

MELINDA: Hi.
LAYTON: How you going?

ALESSANDRA: Melinda and Layton.

They, I'm sure,
have been up and down.

How was the homestay?

It was, like, heaps of fun but also
some really hard discussion

just about things
that we both see differently on.

How did you guys go?

Same.
A bit the same... (LAUGHS)

Last dinner party. Crazy, isn't it?
It is pretty crazy.

And everyone's been away, so...

Doing homestays.
Yeah.

Ollie and Tahnee I reckon would've
had...went pretty well.

They're a power couple, those two.
Yeah.

OLLIE: It doesn't matter
where she lives to me.

Bondi, very beautiful.

TAHNEE: Obviously my apartment's
way too small for both of us.

We established that very quick.

You'll have to move out together.
Have to move out.

It might be good for both of you
guys to, like, make a home together.

Obvi. (LAUGHS)

Obvi!

(CAM LAUGHS)

Yeah, they're very good together.
They are.

LYNDALL: I feel, I guess,
like, worried

about where
our relationship's going.

I think maybe where I'm at

is kind of like we were in his world
and he was in his element

and I still didn't feel like
he really stepped up

and wanted me to be part of it.

Am I going to our last dinner party?

I don't really...

Like, I'm not filled with confidence

that our relationship's gonna
withstand whatever's coming next.

Who goes there?
MEN: Hey!

(LAUGHTER)
Conor McGregor.

MEL: Wow.

ALESSANDRA: I didn't see them
walking in together.

I don't know that they walked in
together as a couple.

I want to hear all about Darwin.
Yes, we want to hear about it.

Oooh. Sitting over here?

Yeah, walking into the cocktail
party, I feel a bit weird.

Like, I feel disconnected from Cam.

I didn't get any kisses or affection
at all the whole time we were there.

What?

Not even in the morning?
What about in the morning? A hug?

I got one on my forehead.
Oh.

So sexy.

Nothing like a kiss on the forehead
before goose shooting.

Even as, like, a best friend, like,

I'm, like, kissing
and hugging everyone. Yeah.

ALESSANDRA: Oh, no,
that just doesn't cut it.

I'm sorry but...

MEL: No.
No.

Remember, we do these homestays

so they get a glimpse into
the real life of this person.

Uh-huh.

And what Cam's saying is
affection is not a priority.

It is not a part of it.

"Hi. Have a great night." (LAUGHS)

Honestly, I don't have anything
left to say.

So I really don't think

that there's anything left for him
to attempt to do

to try and show me that he is
the man for me, because he isn't.

I have too much respect
for myself...

I no longer have to protect Harrison
or defend him and protect him.

It ended the way that it did because
he is not genuine, he is fake.

I can finally just say
whatever I feel

and not have to worry about
the backlash that I'm gonna get

on the way home.

I'm not gonna give Harrison
the time of day.

I'm sick of hearing his pity party.
I no longer give two shits about it.

He's literally just gonna stress
himself out by thinking that I care.

Hi. (GIGGLES)

MEL: Oh, here's Bronte.
Oh!

We need to hear from Bronte.

ALESSANDRA: This is gonna be
interesting.

Hey. How are you?
BRONTE: I'm good. I'm good.

How are you?
Good.

LYNDALL: That's a cute dress.
Thank you.

It's my sister's, actually.
Stole it while I was in Perth.

Oh, love it. It's nice.
Give me...

After you get a drink, can we talk?

JOHN: Oh.
MEL: Oh, he wants to talk.

Control the narrative.

He's gonna go in there first,
sort it out,

and then come back to the group.

Before she can say anything.
Correct.

Exactly. He doesn't like being
out of control.

BRONTE: Oh.
LYNDALL: Can she talk with us first?

What's more important,
her husband or her friends?

Harrison, I'm not gonna fight you
on it

but I would like to talk to Bronte
as a friend.

I haven't spoken to my wife
for the last two days.

I'd like to talk to her first,
if that's alright.

MEL: He's not impressed.

JOHN: He's left standing...
She's just deflated...

..at the bar.
..his feathers.

Wow.

Wow.

(SIGHS)

ALESSANDRA: Let her decompress
for a moment.

You had your moment to decompress,
Harrison. Please.

She's actually just blanked him.

So I don't know whether Harrison
is gonna make it to final vows

'cause right now he doesn't have
a partner to stand opposite from.

That's right.

(LAUGHTER)

LYNDALL: First question - are you
OK?

I'm fine. I'm actually fine.

(SCOFFS)

Perth was everything I hoped
it would be.

My eyes were completely opened.

Why? What happened?

My sister ate him for breakfast,
lunch and dinner...

(WOMEN LAUGH)
..pretty much, so...

JOHN: He'll be hating
every minute of this.

MEL: Oooh, yeah.
'Cause he's got no control over it.

BRONTE: My sister calls it
how it is.

If you're angry at my sister,
my sister holds a mirror up to you

and she reflects
exactly how you're treating her.

WOMAN: Mm-hm.

She turned around to him and said,
"Sorry, I actually think

"you're a narcissistic,
gaslighting dickhead..."

(WOMEN LAUGH)
..pretty much.

Oh, I definitely agreed with her.

She held him accountable
for a conversation

that Harrison and I were discussing
with my sister about...

I'm coming over to the girl group.

Five more minutes.

You've had time to talk to your
boys. Let's just...

Yeah, yeah, I just don't know why
we can't do this in an open forum.

Oh, we are just chatting to...
I really...

I kind of don't really want to
right now.

You don't want to talk
to your husband right now?

No, I don't.

Harrison, just let her have this
for a minute

'cause you've had it for ages.

Let her just decompress.

BRONTE: He's just trying to control
the narrative.

Boys, I tried.

I walked over there and said, like,
"Let's do it in an open forum.

"Let's have the chat."

How the hell could I have started
to fall for YOU?

How?

(GLASS CLINKS)
Dinner is served.

Oh, god. Now, that...
MELINDA: That was the entree.

Now for the main.

BRONTE: All I can say is
RIP, Harrison.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Bronte's done with you.

I'm done.

Here we are. Final dinner party.

Last one. Oh, my god.
ALYSSA: Oh, this is wonderful.

Here I am.

MAN: Hello.
(SQUEALS)

This feels very reminiscent
of maybe, like...

Early days.
Yeah, the second. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Final dinner party, I was hoping
there wasn't going to be drama.

CAM: Cheers, guys, for making it
this far in the experiment.

MAN: Cheers.
WOMAN: Cheers.

BRONTE: But I feel like
it's gonna be drama

and it's gonna be based
around Harrison and I again.

I would love to ask, you know,
Harrison and Bronte...

(LAUGHTER)
MAN: Classic.

Why can't we talk about
our homestays?

Oh...

Yeah, I've actually been looking
forward to this conversation.

Let's hear it.
100%.

See, this is what I mean.
It's, like, very condescending.

Like, "Let's hear it."
I want to hear what you have to say.

Like, I just love such a
condescending tone from my husband.

OK. Wow.

Alright, so, what I would actually
love to know...

(TENSE MUSIC)

..is...why...

JOHN: Hey, guys.
ALESSANDRA: Hello.

MEL: Hello.
HARRISON: Saved by John, apparently.

Hi.

Welcome to the final dinner party
of the entire experiment.

Now, it's been an intense eight
weeks in the experiment.

Thinking back to day one,

you can see
just how far you've come.

Tomorrow
you'll move out of your apartments

and you'll go home to think about

the huge decision
that you are yet to make.

You will be deciding whether to stay
in this relationship

beyond the experiment

or go your separate ways for good.

So we've got some thought starters
for you.

WOMAN: Oh, no. (LAUGHS)

These are questions
that you should be considering

as you face this massive decision
ahead of you.

This exercise
is not for the faint of heart.

It will be tough
and it will be very confronting.

But please dig deep,
speak openly and honestly

and give yourselves
the best possible chance

to unpack everything here tonight

before you leave the experiment
for good.

Good luck, guys.
Goodnight.

Bye.
Thanks, guys.

OLLIE: Damn. Alright.
Let's crack it open.

TAHNEE: Oh... Who's first?
Tahnee ask Ollie.

Tahnee ask Ollie. Damn. OK.

I was, like, "What's in the box?
What's in the box?"

You know Brad Pitt, 'Seven'?

OK.
"Describe how you feel about me."

WOMAN: Aw!

Is this not a commitment ceremony
every bloody week?

(LAUGHTER)
For god's sake.

How do you really feel?
Um...

Like, I just find it crazy

that we've been on this thing
for so long and we just don't...

we can't get enough of each other
in a way that's, like,

we just want to be around each other
all the time.

Like, if you're getting
a bubble tea,

I'm coming with you, sort of thing.
(LAUGHS)

Tahnee and Ollie, I think they are

genuinely each other's
biggest supporter and best friend.

They seem really happy
and they deserve that.

Yeah, I just can't get enough
of you.

"Do you think I'm going to be enough
for you long-term?"

Yeah. Like, 1,000% you're enough.

I don't... Yeah.
I resent the question.

(LAUGHTER)

"Are you falling in love with me?"

That's an easy one.

Am I FALLING in love with you? Yes.

Your turn.
Alright.

"Do I live up to your expectations
in a partner? Explain."

Yes. 100%.

I feel like you give me
all the reassurance I need.

I think you're very caring,
like I said, emotionally available.

You're always happy to listen
to my rants.

You communicate
how you feel about me.

So, absolutely, for sure.

HARRISON: Aw.

A lot of the questions,

me and Ollie kind of already have
discussed with each other,

so I feel like, I guess, it was just
nice just to share with the group.

Yeah, I felt like we had a nice time
doing our questions.

"Are you falling in love with me?"

Yes, I am.

Whoa.
Yep.

EVELYN: Aw!

ALYSSA: Cute.

Tahnee and Ollie, man, like,
so much love for one another,

so much understanding,
so much compassion.

(LAUGHS)

Nice, refreshing love.

Tahnee and Ollie,
I have a lot of hopes for them.

Who's first?
No, you're first.

Oh, I'm first.
(CLEARS THROAT)

"Do you have any doubts or concerns
about how I feel about you?"

I feel like you have
a very high expectation

that you have voiced in the
beginning

and, yeah, sometimes I feel like

I'm just not gonna be good enough.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

"How confident are you

"that this relationship will last
on the outside?"

Off the back of the final date, I...

yeah, I'm having a lot of doubts.

LYNDALL: It's a real shame
to see them in not a good place

because I know that they are both
serious about each other,

they both really deeply care...

and I think, like,
if they can just remember that

and how much they don't want to lose
each other,

then they're gonna be OK.

ALYSSA: Let's keep going.
Let's ask Duncan.

"Describe how you feel about me."

I feel warmth. I feel close.

I love how you make me feel
when it's good.

When it's good.
Yeah.

Which is, what, 56% of the time?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Even just then,
I'm just describing some things

about how I like about you

and you just cut me down.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(READS) "Describe
how you feel about me."

I feel warmth.

I feel close.

I feel I love how you make me feel
when it's good.

When it's good.

Yeah.
Which is what, 56% of the time.

Even just then, I'm just describing
some things about

how I like about you

and you just cut me down.

JOHN: It's emotionally
draining for him, isn't it?

To try and say what he wants to say.

Mmm.

(FRAUGHT MUSIC)

I think you've got amazing,
wonderful traits.

I've had an amazing connection
with you from the start.

How I feel about you,
I could talk about it for days.

But I'm also concerned with like,
literally what just happened.

My biggest concern is the arguments
that we've had on this experiment,

things we haven't seen eye to eye on

would continue to happen
in the real world.

Like what?

Whether you... um...

Whether we both view
bad situations the same way.

Like what?
Be really specific, Duncan.

I need you to be real specific here.

Yep.
Be real specific.

Stop talking very high level.

You need to like, be real specific.

JOHN: She wants him to be direct

and he can't be
because she shoots him down.

And once again he can't win.

He can't do something right.

She's putting him in the position
to be the one who maybe rejects her

so she can say it was him.

Yeah.

Nobody at the table knows
what you're talking about

unless you're really specific.

OK. The health of...
A healthy relationship.

The last month was really hard
and challenging.

I'm hoping that

that is mainly based on us
being inside of the experiment.

And what if it's not?

Then that's not a good,
healthy relationship.

Alyssa's an amazing girl and I'm
happy I got matched with her.

I just...

I don't think she's had great
relationships and so that to her,

like, half good, half bad,

that won't be amazing
from where Alyssa's coming from

in her past relationships.

But that's not healthy.
It's not a healthy relationship.

Free question.
Ask me anything you want.

What do you think I need to
improve on to make this better?

I think understanding where
I've been and where I'm coming from.

(ALYSSA SNIFFS)

Just put yourself in my shoes
for once.

OK.

JOHN: I find it really interesting
that the group look at Duncan

as a very emotionally intelligent,
kind, patient guy.

Alyssa doesn't.
MEL: She doesn't see him that way.

Doesn't see that at all.
Yeah.

ALYSSA: I don't even know
what my expectations are,

dating as a single mother.

Try to see where coming from.

It was really hard to go through
that conversation with Duncan.

It just kind of made me feel again
that like,

I was never gonna be enough for him.

Can we move onto the next box,
please?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

I never would have expected my head
to be where it's at at this moment.

Tomorrow we move out of Skye,

straight into deliberations,

straight into the final vows.

I still have a lot of hope
for our relationship

but there's obviously
a lot of concerns.

Then there's a lot of ambiguity.

There's so much tension between
Duncan and I.

(LIGHT MUSIC)

(COUPLES CHAT INDISTINCTLY)

Um...

Here goes nothin'.

(EXHALES)

OK.

(RUPERT READS)

"Have your feelings changed for me
since day one, and how?"

(SCOFFS)
Yeah.

(LAUGHS)
I think day was pretty...

hot and heavy for both of us,
not in a good way.

It's changed in the sense of

I feel a vulnerability
between both of us

and there's obviously
an undeniable respect and care.

(READS) "Do you feel sexual
chemistry with me?"

Yes.

It says "Rating out of ten."

No, it doesn't.
(LAUGHTER)

Anyway...

MAN: That's what
it should have said.

Yes. Anyway...

(READS) "What is your favourite
thing about me

"and your least favourite?"

My favourite thing about you is
you have a kind heart.

And the least favourite is...

you sometimes say the wrong things.

Typically I am just talking smack
with everyone and...

Rupert,
you're meeting my mother.

You can't be talking smack
when you meet my mother.

I know but I feel,
if you knew me enough,

you would know that I would
100% respect your mum enough

to not say the wrong thing.

But you did.

That is me.
Like, I'm gonna make a joke.

OK.

(READS) "Do you believe I've put in
enough effort into this relationship

throughout this experiment?

No.

Can you elaborate?

Well, it's taken seven weeks
for you to try to take me on a date.

I don't think that's enough effort.

If you walked into an experiment
to marry a stranger,

I feel like it's fair to
try and take the woman on a date.

But if you go into the experiment

and the woman
shows no interest in you...

I don't think I showed no interest.
OK.

I've chosen to stay
time and time again.

So I don't think that's no interest.

(GRUNTS)

I don't know what the hell that was.

I feel like as much as
I try to reassure him,

I feel like he's just
never going to believe me.

And that's no longer a 'me' problem,
that's now a 'you' problem.

(READS) "How attracted
do you think I am to you?"

Um...

I think that you...

Well, I don't... Yeah.

You've said that
sometimes you are attracted to me.

If you're only
sometimes attracted to me...

Rupert, I've had sex with you.
Next question.

(CHUCKLES)

Like, I feel like that's so unfair.

Oh.
Wow.

Wow, Rupert.

Obviously I'm gonna have sex
if I'm attracted to you.

So I feel like you going back to
week two is very unfair.

It is unfair.

We've been intimate...
RUPERT: The question was to me.

It wasn't what you think.

She just sort of spat out like,
"I've had sex with you." Blah, blah.

I'm like, that doesn't necessarily
mean that

you are attracted to someone,
you know.

I could just be a piece of meat
to her.

OK, well, that's it from us.

(FRAUGHT MUSIC)

(INSECTS CHIRP)

MAN: Thank you so much.

Are we up?
LYNDALL: Yeah, we're up.

Did anyone else throw up doing these
or is it just gonna be me?

EVELYN: It's nerve-racking.

(LYNDALL READS) "Do you think
I'll fit into your life back home

"including your family and friends?"

I think this has been
the biggest issue

throughout our whole relationship

is the external side of it.

I don't know if you'll
fit into my life in the NT.

Doesn't mean that you can't fit into
parts of my life though.

(DISTURBING MUSIC)

You have the most amazing woman
in front of you

and I feel like you're crazy
if you let that go.

Mmm. I'm gonna have to
agree with Bronte there.

I felt a bit silly being in Darwin

and meeting all Cam's friends and
stuff when I don't really know like,

whether this is what Cam wants,

like, whether he wants me in Darwin
or whether he just wants Darwin.

On our final date you're kind
of saying,

I don't think I'm
the right person for you.

Which I don't think I am.

I think you need someone who needs
to show you all this affection,

needs to give you the reassurance.

I am who I am.

Cam, I think eventually someone is
gonna want affection in your life,

whether that's Lyndall or not.

In every single relationship.

It's not just "that's who I am,
take it or leave it," right?

I'm not saying that.

I think I have been pretty good
throughout this whole experiment.

I have learnt a lot
throughout this experiment.

Oh, this is painful.
Poor darling.

Painful.

For a while there it was kind of we
were talking about the remote work

as if that was like, the thing...

It's fact.
..that was gonna break...

Yeah, yeah, it's absolutely fact,
I totally understand that.

Tell us what you're willing to
compromise on, Cam.

I'm just putting all the
dots together in terms of like,

the affection's gone,
the reassurance isn't there.

I don't think the reassurance
isn't there.

I gave you reassurance
when we were at the shed.

ALESSANDRA: Are you kidding?

It's words. He doesn't mean it.
No.

When else?

And that's when I was crying,

because you had just rolled
your eyes when I asked for a kiss

and we were about to go
hang out with your mates

which you really wanted to do.

That is complete horse shit.
And then I went inside and I...

Oh, no.
Oh, wow.

You want me to be
this all affectionate and...

I just don't feel like
I'm the right person.

EVELYN: It doesn't sound like

Lyndall's asking for
a lot of affection,

it sounds like she's just
asking for affection, full stop.

Like reassurance, actually.

'Cause I didn't get a kiss the
entire time we were on homestay.

That's bullshit
'cause I went to lean in for a kiss

and you pulled your head away
after we had that argument.

(HARSH MUSIC)

NARRATOR: Coming up...

Everyone just wants this showdown.

Harrison gets his comeuppance.

You and your sister attacked me.

Please.

She held you accountable

for you being an absolute
condescending arsehole to me.

And then...

Excuse me for a second.

EVELYN: Lyndall...

..one couple leaves
the experiment for good.

You make me feel like
I'm (BLEEP) crazy.

No, that's what you did to me.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(MOUTHS) What the (BLEEP)?

LAYTON: How are you falling in love
with me? We can't communicate.

I knew you were gonna do this.

MELINDA (EMOTIONALLY): I really feel
like tonight is endgame for us.

(FRAUGHT MUSIC)

(EXPECTANT MUSIC)

You want me to be
this all affectionate and...

I just don't feel like
I'm the right person.

It doesn't sound like Lyndall's
asking for a lot of affection.

It sounds like she's just
asking for affection, full stop.

'Cause I didn't get a kiss
the entire time we were on homestay.

That's bullshit
'cause I went to lean in for a kiss

and you pulled your head away
after we had that argument.

(HARSH MUSIC)

Days on end without kissing
your partner? Are you kidding me?

I wanna see what happens
when we get on the outside.

What's gonna happen is
you're gonna go back to remote work

and we're not gonna see each other.

And things don't start growing
when you're that far part.

I can't give you exact dates
when I go back out...

I'm not asking you to
give me exact dates.

I'm asking you to tell me that
you are willing to try.

I said I am...
And you've never...

You've just never done that.

I said I am willing to try.

I'm willing to compromise my work
and travel to Perth

or you come to Darwin.

You're not prepared to
make sacrifices.

He hasn't made a single sacrifice,
not even the affection thing.

JOHN: It's just
a whole lot of words.

MEL: It's words. He doesn't mean it.

Are you just not ready
for a relationship?

I wouldn't say
I'm not ready for a relationship,

I just think...

Like, I love Lyndall as a person

but I'm just not going down
that path of falling in love.

(SOMBRE MUSIC)

Wow.

Eugh.

That's where I'm at.

(SILENCE AT THE TABLE)

(BREATHES DEEPLY)

The thought of losing him
has always been upsetting

but like, in that moment
I was just like (BLEEP).

It was like,
ending in front of everybody.

I hadn't heard that
he wasn't gonna...

didn't see himself
falling for me, before.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

You're gonna have to
excuse me for a sec.

EVELYN: Lyndall...

LYNDALL: Yeah, I'm OK.
I just need a minute.

Do you need... Do you need backup?

I'm used to that.

BRONTE: I don't need backup
with you...

(HARRISON CHUCKLES)
..ever.

Condescending arsehole.

(LYNDALL SOBS)

MELINDA: Babe, babe, babe, babe.

LYNDALL: I just feel like

I've been dumped for
the third (BLEEP) time in a week.

And there's just nothing...

MELINDA: Without realising
you've already dumped him

because you've told us
he is not what you're after.

It's OK.

CAMERON: I am who I am.

At this time I am not going
down that path of falling in love.

But I haven't shut the gates.

(FRAUGHT MUSIC)

But like, you guys saw that, right?

Like, he basically said
it'll never work

and then said but maybe it can.

Contradicting, yeah.
You've told me...

Mel was right, he's going backward
and forward, backward and forward.

OLLIE: I will say this, I feel like
there's a confusion in...

It feels like you're speaking
in quite absolutes and finalities

but then it also feels like you're
leaving that door open a little bit

for the chance.

DUNCAN: If she wanted to
come to live in NT,

would you be open to that?

Like, soon?

MAN: It's a great question.

The moving to Darwin part
is not an issue.

She can live in New Zealand or Bali.

It doesn't change the fact of
I'm still gonna be out remote.

OLLIE: But also there is a little
bit of an element of well,

it happens, if that happens,
it could eventuate.

Like, can we just say it as it is?

Is this the girl for you?
Let's speak candidly, honestly.

After the homestays, no.

He makes you feel worthless.

He literally makes you feel as if
you're not good enough.

LYNDALL: I think the main thing that
I heard that really threw me off

was that he said that
I don't see myself falling for you.

(LYNDALL SOBS)

I'm sorry, this is not...
This is not OK.

She's gonna to (BLEEP) murder...

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

EVELYN: Cam?

You are such an arsehole.

CAMERON: Really?

You ARE such an arsehole.

You've strung her along
this whole entire time.

And for her to hear this in front
of everyone is a low (BLEEP) blow.

Is it? That's no good.

Yeah, it is a low (BLEEP) blow.

You should be
(BLEEP) ashamed of yourself.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Don't trip on your way out.

(HARRISON LAUGHS)

(EXPECTANT MUSIC)

EVELYN: Eugh, god, I want to throw
my drink in his face. Seriously.

You'd never do that.

I just don't think that she,

she's ready to be
in a relationship with me.

Oh, wow.

Are you kidding?

Your lifestyle's
a bit faster than Lyndall's.

Oh, here we go. Welcome back.

You weren't even crying,
you just had something in your eye.

Yeah, yep.
(CHUCKLING)

Just having some snacks.
You're alright, Lyns.

(LYNDALL BREATHES DEEPLY)

Alright.

I mean, what a bloody mess that was.

(COUPLES CHATTER, CUTLERY CLINKS)

I think tonight

shed a lot of light on some
of the issues that Cam and I have,

and maybe some of the answers
that we haven't been honest enough

or brave enough to share.

I'm really excited to get home
to make a massive decision

'cause I feel like, after tonight,

I've got a lot to think about
before final vows.

EVELYN: OK, let's do it.

Layton ask Melinda.

(READS) "How do you
feel about me right now?"

Right now in this present moment...

I feel...

like, you're my Layton.

I think you tick all my boxes.

Like, no guy has ever
ticked all my boxes before.

But...

we just...

just don't have that like...

free-flowing conversation
where it's like, yeah.

Normal chat becomes disagreements,
somehow.

OK.

(READS)
"Are you falling in love with me?"

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

Already there.

(JOYOUS MUSIC)
WOMAN: Aw.

OLLIE: Damn. That's big.

(UPLIFTING MUSIC)

Yeah but it's like...

(MUSIC TURNS ANXIOUS)

If you can't speak to someone,
are you really?

I knew you were gonna do this.

Far out.

Is that not a relevant question?

I do love Layton.

But I guess because
I have things that aren't 100%,

it's just not
good enough for Layton.

It doesn't add up.

How are you falling in love with me
if we can't communicate?

Mel basically said that we can't
communicate, we can't talk.

So, to hear all these things

but then on the other hand to hear
that this person's in love with you,

I think you have to question that.

Because you wanna make sure that,

if someone's saying something
like that, they really mean it.

JOHN: We've this style
from Layton right the way through,

haven't we?

He's essentially saying,
"I'm right, you're wrong."

Mm-hm.

"It's black, it's white."

It's very hard to
get any sort of understanding.

These guys are almost constantly
gridlocked whenever we see them.

This is a robot sitting next to me,
guys.

I'm not asking him anything.

CAMERON: No, it's not. Come on.

It's very clear that I
care a lot more about Layton

than he does me.

(EXHALES)

And in all aspects
of our relationship,

what I think
or feel towards Layton

is like, leaps and bounds
above what is being reciprocated.

Melinda asked Layton.

(READS) "What is the one thing
you like best about me?"

I can instantly tell you.

I love that you are
unapologetically yourself.

And that makes me feel I can be
unapologetically myself too.

And I love that.

(READS) "How could I have been
a better partner to you

"over the last couple of months?"

I think that is just taking onboard
that we are very different

and that's OK.

And trying to be more understanding
with that.

(READS) "Are you falling in love
with me?"

I'm not there yet.

(SOMBRE MUSIC)

I can't say I'm in love with Mel.

And that's not a bad thing because
for me that's a really big word.

What I'm telling you now is

there are multiple moments
throughout every day

when I think to myself, this is
someone I can fall in love with.

Am I there now? No.

But these questions show that
there is still unresolved issues

that are preventing us from
moving forward.

JOHN: He's a guy that's holding on
tight to control

and trying to avoid
any sort of feeling whatsoever.

I think he's just scared of getting
that wrong or losing control.

OK. Are we all good here?
Let's wrap it up.

Logical, emotional. I get it.

You guys will never get it
because you are not dating Layton.

He is a different human.

Just a different mindset and like,
it's just impossible.

MELINDA (EMOTIONALLY)
I feel like me and Layton,

we go up and down
but we always go back up.

And I really feel like tonight
is endgame for us.

(MELANCHOLY MUSIC)

(SNIFFS)

(EXPECTANT MUSIC)

Everyone just wants
this showdown.

Showdown. I don't see why it needs
to be a showdown but anyway.

Oh, stop talking.

Disrespectful but anyway...
Quiet.

My turn to talk.

Ahh, you're just asking
the questions.

(HARRISON CLEARS HIS THROAT)

(READS)

"Do you have any regrets about how
you've been in this relationship?"

It's tough. I don't know if I'd
use the word 'regret'.

There are things that I would have
done differently.

I regret that I didn't do
a better job of cleaning my act up

before I came into this experiment.

(READS) "Do you feel you've
gotten to know the real me?"

Yes. Yes, I do. Definitely.

Do not think that I've gotten to
know the real you?

(READS) "What is
your favourite thing about me?"

Hold on, hold on.

Do you not think that I've
gotten to know the real you?

This is my turn to ask questions.

(FRAUGHT MUSIC)

(HARSH MUSIC)

(BRONTE READS) "Do you feel
you've gotten to know the real me?"

Yes. Yes I do. Definitely.

Do not think that I've
gotten to know the real you?

"What is your favourite thing
about me?"

Hold on, hold on. Do not think that
I've gotten to know the real you?

This is my turn to
ask the questions.

(FRAUGHT MUSIC)

"What is your favourite thing
about me and your least favourite?"

Um...

My favourite thing about you...

There is a really spontaneous side
to you that I saw glimmers of

and I've been holding on to that

for the entire length
of our relationship.

My least favourite thing about you.

My least favourite thing about
you is that

you are willing to talk negatively
about your partner to other people.

Do you notice
his facial expression's changed now?

His mood towards her has changed?

It's not playful anymore.

He's now defensive
and he's angry about it.

"How could I have been
a better partner to you

"over the last couple of months?"

There were two deal breakers for me.

I said I don't want you to
threaten to leave me again.

And I don't want you to say negative
things about me to other people.

And then on homestays,
you and your sister attacked me...

Oh, please! Please.

She held you accountable

for you being an absolute
condescending arsehole to me.

(CLEARS THROAT)
No, Bronte.

She held you accountable.

You sat there in support
while she attacked me.

Right?

She called me very, very damaging
things in an aggressive manner.

And you supported that.

And that was another betrayal.

That's not protecting
your partner, Bronte.

I would choose my family over you
any day.

Any day.

LYNDALL: Can I ask what it was
that Bronte's sister said

that was
so damaging of your character?

My sister said that he was
a narcissistic gaslighting dickhead.

Mmm. So, things that Harrison
said about you as well.

No, I've never called...
I've never called Bronte a dickhead.

(EMOTIONALLY) You make me feel like
I'm (BLEEP) crazy.

No, that's what you do to me.

Bronte, take a breath.

You're OK.
(MOUTHS) What the (BLEEP)?

It's OK.

Just get through the questions.

(BLEEP) victim complex yourself
all the time.

Well, no, I don't think so, Bronte.

I see a side of you
that I don't approve of

and your behaviour is not becoming

of someone I would want to be in
a long-term relationship with.

JOHN: What he's showing to everyone
is his style.

Which is exactly what
her sister called him out on.

ALESSANDRA: Yes.

The gaslighting and the narcissism

has been called out
about his behaviour many times.

I think Harrison is by far

the most predictable person
we've ever had on this experiment.

OK. Harrison ask Bronte.

(HARRISON CLEARS HIS THROAT)

(READS) "Why do you think when
we're good together, we're great

"and when we're bad,
we're really bad?"

I can't really answer
that question

because I don't believe that
when we were good

that you had
my best interest at heart.

(SCOFFS)

I don't believe that
it was genuine for you.

I believe you just wanted to get
through this to save your image

and I was
your little pawn in your game.

And I saw that at homestays.

My sister called you out completely
and you didn't like it.

Honestly, I have never ever
met anybody like you.

Thank you.

I mean that
in the worst way possible.

I don't believe that you were
genuine from day one.

And the way that you

honestly think that
everybody else is the problem.

Don't tell me what I think, Bronte.
No, let me talk!

For once just let me talk.

Excuse me.

There also has to be a line drawn

between telling someone else
how they think...

There actually doesn't right now
because this is my time to talk.

You just had yours.

Talk about how you feel
or my behaviour.

Don't tell me how I think.
I am about to answer the question.

Wait, seriously. Come on.

Sorry, excuse me, I'm talking.

It's Bronte's turn to
answer the questions.

So you need to just respectfully
chill the (BLEEP) out

and let her answer these questions.

(FRAUGHT MUSIC)

This is exactly, exactly what
you could have done better.

Hear me and actually listen
and read the frickin' room.

(FRANTIC MUSIC)

Read the room.

Yeah.

Do you wanna go to the next question
or are you done?

I'm done with you!

I'm done with this man.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Harrison, we're done.

We're over and I honestly
don't want to see you again.

(CLIMACTIC MUSIC)

# Colour the empty space,

# Kiss in a crowded place.

I feel ready to open my heart.

VOICEOVER:
Everything has been leading...

Am I falling in love with you?

to this.

(EXHALES) I realise there were times
when I failed you.

There were moments
when you felt alone.

Over two massive nights.

I'm so grateful to have met you.

# If love is what you feel then

# It's not wrong.

Duncan, feel what my soul
is feeling for you.

# It's not a feeling you can run from

# Because we love who we love.

Who finds true love?

It's hard for me to picture
what life will look like

without you in it.

Whose heart will break?

And...

Um before you start.

Yeah?

It's my time to be honest.

I've been thinking about this a lot.

It's now or never.

Then...

The betrayal, the deception.
