NARRATOR: Previously...

Let's go!

..our newlyweds arrived at the annual couples retreat...

Cheers to Byron Bay! (CHEERING)

NARRATOR: The change in scenery strengthened most of our couples.

L word!

(SQUEALS)

NARRATOR: But for Lauren...

I feel like my soul is leaving my body more and more every day.

..the group environment proved to be her worst nightmare...

..and when her feelings for Clint were questioned...

You are so lucky.

You actually have no idea what you're talking about.

..Lauren did not hold back.

That is so rude.

I'm actually so done with -

like, your opinion means nothing to me, Jamie.

I'm over it.

Lauren thinks she's too good for us.

I'm just bored with these people.

I don't want to spend another minute with them.

NARRATOR: Tonight...

..the retreat continues...

I'm feeling very re-energized right now.

..and it's exactly what our couples need to deepen bonds...

ELIOT: This retreat's incredible for us.

Just perfect to just have a little reset.

(SQUEALS)

..and mend wounds.

AWHINA: I think the retreat has been the turning point.

We're back to our old selves where we're having fun together.

Sorry, man, I just I just want to chat, man. Like...

NARRATOR: Dave drops an almighty truth bomb on Clint...

Lauren, she's been saying that there's no spark.

She's not interested.

..and then...

You're a bunch of wild animals. That's what it felt like.

No, no, no, no, no, no. Don't... Don't even go there.

..at the final night drinks...

Rhi and Carina both said that they felt like I was attacked.

What?

..loyalties will be tested...

Don't defend her!

Chill out!

Don't back her up!

..as friendships hang by a thread.

When it serves you well, when I'm yelling for you,

then it's OK.

But where is my defence?

It just doesn't make any sense why you'd do this.

You know what? This conversation is so boring.

I'm over it. Lauren, don't be rude.

Don't do that because we've all backed you

and you're going to look really silly.

That attitude is just unreal right now.

Absolutely, Lauren thinks she's too good for us.

We actually just want the best for her.

We just want honesty.

We're just trying to get a better understanding

about whether or not Lauren actually likes Clint,

but it was very dismissive from the get-go.

She essentially told us our opinion didn't matter

and then walked off.

I just feel like it was a little bit of a cop-out.

She's avoiding answering the question.

She's such a snob.

The bogans just keep boganing with their boganic ways.

They can't help it.

They're just not my people.

And she's still, she's still going and now she's leaving now.

Like, we're all sitting here trying to understand her side.

I know.

Yeah. I'm just bored with these people.

They're just such losers.

I don't want to spend another minute with them.

This is the reason why I wanted to leave.

They're not my friends. I don't care about them.

I don't care what they what they have to say.

I just feel like she acts like the experiment's beneath her.

She's the most condescending...

Yeah, she's just.. ..stuck up.

Yeah, I cannot.

They're (BLEEP) losers

and they sit around all day

talking about each other's personal lives,

and I have better things to do.

I think they're bogans.

We just want honesty.

I want the best for Clint, to be honest.

I think he deserves better than that.

I just want honesty.

CARINA: I'm a Switzerland.

I want everyone to come together and be friends.

But I think Awhina, Jamie and Beth wanted some answers.

Everyone wanted answers, but there's ways to go about it.

Kind of like we came on quite abruptly.

No, no, no.

Her, it's her response.

I'm not pointing any fingers.

I'm just saying, like, if I was in this position,

like there and all of the girls were saying their two cents,

I would kind of feel like attacked.

No! Like, what the hell? That is so rude.

She was so rude to all of us and to me,

and (BLEEP) 'cause I stand up for all of you.

Excuse me?

How are we even defending Lauren right now?

And why are we having empathy for this woman

who just shat on all of us?

Like, I'm literally raging.

But as girl to girl...

Carina, don't even defend her right now.

She's being so rude.

I've literally tried to help this woman.

Yeah, I will.

Please don't just enable stupidity.

Rhi and Carina go follow her to comfort her.

She's being so rude to me.

Don't comfort her. Carina, don't comfort her.

Why are we comforting her?

That is disloyalty if I ever did see it.

Like, I don't appreciate Carina defending her.

(BLEEP) Kool-Aid drinking tonight.

Sorry, babe. Hey.

Are you OK?

No. I'm like, she's a bogan. Like...

She has to be bagging us all out.

AWHINA: Well, it wouldn't be the first time.

JAMIE: I swear to god, if they don't stick up for me,

I will let loose.

(BLEEP)

I don't think it was fair that the girls...

Came at you.

..like that. Well, that's the thing.

That's what I said.

Like everyone came across, like, abruptly

and very direct towards you.

Yeah.

Although they do want to just try and help navigate

and give their views and their opinions and advice.

I would never be friends with them outside of here.

They're like buffoons.

Sorry if they're your friends, but I don't really like them.

I get what you're saying, and that is OK.

But this is about you and Clint.

It's not about them.

They're just wanting to get the updates.

Like, because we've never done this before.

Like, we've never done a group setting with just the girls.

We just...

And I feel like people have opinions

on each other's relationships.

But at the end of the day that we're here for their relationship

and we just move on, like...

It's not going to be rainbows and butterflies,

but just hold your ground

and like, don't let this add on to like the reason

why you want to leave, because that's meaningless.

Like, focus on the relationship.

This is the one thing that Eliot did say to me.

He's never said bad things about her, but he did say,

before I met all you ladies, I actually was a bit worried

because when I asked Lauren about the other wives,

she said, they're just a bunch of drunk bogans.

Are you joking?

Excuse me?

What the hell? That is so rude.

Lauren thinks we're drunk bogans.

That absolutely infuriates me.

She's always got her nose turned up of everybody

and that's why I've not even given her a second chance.

She acts like I'm just below her.

And I'm like, "Do you know what, babe? Stay over there then."

And I feel like, you know, I do put on, like, a front.

So, everyone just thinks that I'm like...

No, I'm sorry.

Don't be sorry.

I've gonna put tampons in my eyeballs.

(LAUGHTER)

Shh...

Are they laughing?

I've never heard that before!

I just thought of it, just, like in the corner.

I need to get you a tissue.

I don't know. It sounds like a cat being strangled.

I don't care. Ignore. Oh, god damn it!

Back to you. But I'm sorry, but how can you...

How can you leave that situation and go...

I don't care about Lauren.

Carina, you're supposed to be a good friend.

Like, what are you doing?

Lauren has blatantly shit on all of us.

How anyone came to her defence or came to comfort her...

What the hell is going on here?

I think let's go back in there.

We'll wipe those tears away and be the stronger person, babe.

Just be honest with them and tell them

that because that's all they want to know.

I think, yeah, be just be as - not saying you're not real.

Just be as...

That's all they want to know and just give it to them.

Why do they care so much? For god's sake, get a life.

Yeah. OK.

Ready? Sure.

OK, let's do this thing.

Can't wait. I'm excited.

I just - no, I feel really sorry for Clint.

I think he's such a beautiful person and he does not deserve that.

No, that's not...

I mean, you can't - someone that's blatantly rude.

Oh, is she coming back in?

OK, interesting.

I don't really have anything to say.

Um...

(TENSE SOUNDTRACK)

Um, all the girls are honestly asking questions

because they want to understand.

I would just love to see you just really just put your walls down.

It could maybe help.

Well, I mean, being here is, you know, out of my comfort zone.

Being with Clint, you know, on a daily basis.

Like, I don't have a connection with Clint.

There is no spark.

But I just don't feel like I need to share it with all of you.

OK. Yeah. Just keep being rude.

I actually don't want to talk to any of you right now, so...

We felt that because you haven't spoken to any of us

this whole time you've been here.

I've spoken to the people I have an interest in talking to,

and it's not either of you.

What? Are you joking?

That's actually really (BLEEP) rude.

Anything else you want to say?

Don't... Watch your (BLEEP) tone. Watch your (BLEEP) tone.

Jamie! Calm down.

No! Carina, don't even defend her right now!

I was just telling... Let's just... We're all friends here.

This is quite aggressive.

Oh, god damn it.

Are you joking?

She's being so (BLEEP) rude.

I've literally tried to help this woman.

(SIGHS)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(BLEEP) me.

I'm going to go. Oh, I can't listen to that woman.

I don't care.

I don't want to see y'all.

She's just slagged us all off. No one even jumped in.

And she was blatantly rude.

Not just to me, but to everyone.

Are you joking? I'm (BLEEP) furious.

I don't want to (BLEEP) stay here right now.

I want... I want to go see my husband.

I'm (BLEEP) fuming.

I can't wait to debrief my husband.

I blatantly was on the receiving end of rudeness.

How dare you call us drunk bogans?

I'm ready to go back to the boys now

and expose Lauren to the rest of the group.

What a (BLEEP) bitch.

Oh!

NARRATOR: It's boys and girls night,

and while the girls are making their way back to Hinterland House

after a tense evening...

(LAUGHTER)

..the boys' night has been far more relaxed.

Clint, you know that I love you, man.

Honestly, mate. Like, we just want to give you perspective as well,

because this is what we're seeing from an outside group.

Totally. I love it, and I love to hear that,

like you're in your bubble, you're doing your own relationship.

It's good to hear what you guys are saying

because it allows me to start thinking more.

I loved having a night with the boys,

but at the same time, there was some heat coming my way

and I... I get that.

The point of the experiment is to get us out of our comfort zone.

And I've got to be honest, we just actually need to be honest

with the group and tell them how we feel.

And I think in the end, they understood

where I was coming from.

Seriously, I do appreciate it.

Well, hopefully you stick it out, mate.

Mate, we genuinely just want the best for you.

Oh, yeah. Thank you.

Um, hey, just just quickly.

Paul wanted to say a few words. So, go, mate.

Do you want me to say something? (LAUGHTER)

Paul's still here? Come on.

Well, I didn't know you were here.

I didn't know you were here! Welcome Paul! Hey!

I thought Paul left 20 minutes ago.

Hey!

Here we go. Oh, party crashers.

Hello. How are you going?

Don't be so excited to see us.

Yeah. (LAUGHS) Good night or?

Absolute best. I'm actually going to sleep.

The girls rocked up back here to boys night,

and it was a bit of a negative vibe.

Yeah. I think there's a few things going on.

Did you have a good night?

Huh? You OK.

When I was at girls night,

I was like, I want to run to my husband right now.

Like, I want to grab that man real quick.

Beth and Awhina were like, well, let's go grab our husbands

'cause we were all very much on the same page

and we're like, we are debriefing.

Can I talk to you? Yeah.

Now? Yeah, yeah, come.

I was like, let's just get us all in there.

Yes.

It kicked off. It kicked off.

Oh, bullshit.

It kicked off straight away.

We went in asking questions with Clint's best interest.

Just out of, like, genuine concern for Clint.

Yeah. We asked her questions,

but we only wanted to get to the bottom of how she's feeling.

She was so defensive.

She was being so like, "I don't need to talk about this with you guys

"asking questions."

And she didn't like it, and she walked off

and was rude and knocked all of us in the process.

She was an arsehole.

Like, we were beneath her. Like, I shouldn't be talking to you.

Like, she was really, really arrogant.

Nice crocodile tears.

And she called us drunk bogans as well.

Jamie coming back, she's told me a lot of things

about, you know, how rude Lauren was to her

and everyone in this house,

and calling all the other wives drunk bogans.

She has absolutely taken the piss this time

and for her to just go straight into bed.

It just shows you what type of person she is.

She's gutless.

I absolutely copped it.

I'm gonna go to bed.

Yeah.

Does he think there's a spark?

He's convinced when they leave, there might be something.

He believes it.

She actually said there was no spark. Zero.

Like there was nothing there.

She said these words? That was her words.

What a piece of work.

I've literally... What a piece of work.

Yeah, with Clint, I do feel bad.

You know, we had boys night,

and Clint was pretty looking forward to the future.

That tells me that Lauren is exactly who I think she is.

She's definitely taken Clint for a ride, for sure.

So, I want to share what I had learned

before he packed his bags and leaves here with her.

Um, so we finished boys night, and the girls came back,

and Lauren was a bit upset with what she'd experienced.

The argument to start with... Sorry, man.

I just want to chat, man. Like, are you OK?

Like what's happened? Yeah.

Have you heard what's happened at the girls... girls night?

A little bit. Just trying to piece it together a bit.

She was calling out all the other girls and stuff,

and some of the things she said to Jamie tonight

was, like, absolutely absurd.

But you need to be aware of what's happening

and what's being said about you.

She's been saying that for you there's no spark,

she's not interested, to the girls.

We wanted to give you a heads up from the start saying, you know,

as soon as you step away from this, it's all going to be over.

Play it smart, man. Like we said, we want...

I thought you were taking - getting taken for a ride

and it seems to be that this is what's happening, so...

No, I don't obviously don't need to hear that at all.

Yeah.

Yeah, I need to ask her straight out...

Yeah. ..what was said.

Yeah. Because, yeah, that's not...

If that was said, that's... Yeah. That's not OK.

Not at all.

I'll be on the next flight out of here if that's the case.

Yeah.

Yeah, I think enough's enough.

Like, she's been playing games with Clint this whole time,

and I really hope he puts his foot down.

I'm glad he's got the information now

where he can back it up and ask her and call her out for her lies.

(UPLIFTING MUSIC SWELLS)

NARRATOR: It's a beautiful sunny morning

in picturesque Byron Bay...

The sun's beautiful outside.

..where our couples are waking up to the final day

of the couple's retreat...

(ALARM BEEPING)

Why are we awake?

I'm so tired.

(GROANS)

(CHUCKLES)

Rise and shine.

..and as the day gets underway...

Yes. There we go.

..most couples have only one thing on their mind...

..Lauren and Clint.

Yeah. After last night,

I think her true personality sort of come through.

I don't know what their plan is now.

Like, I really don't, but I'm...

I'm hoping that Clint's on the first plane out of here.

You know, when I told Clint what was going on,

he was pretty devastated.

But I think, you know, I'm glad he's got the information now

because enough's enough.

She doesn't care about anyone else but herself

and I hope Clint wakes up and realises

that he deserves a lot better than her.

What a night, last night.

(CHUCKLES)

What a night. It was an absolute shit show.

Yeah.

Not a fun time for us.

I was devastated after what I heard last night.

That was...

That was horrible to hear.

Um...

I had Dave land.

I was outside and Dave came in with massive information.

Was it that he actually said that I'm...

He said that you were rude.

You were, um, stringing me along.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

NARRATOR: In Byron Bay,

it's the morning after a fiery girls and boys night,

where Dave told Clint some hard truths about his wife, Lauren.

What was it that he actually said?

He said that you were rude.

You were, um, stringing me along.

He was just saying that I'm going to get hurt

and you're going to run away, and...

..you had no intention to see me ever again.

It's all bullshit.

Everything we've discussed on the couch

is what was discussed last night,

that we've also discussed in person,

that we are getting along well and we're just seeing how it goes.

That's literally it.

Yeah, 100%,

and we're both aligned with that.

They're actually just trolls.

They're all mental and bullies.

They've stormed in on me last night

and said that Lauren had gone and said all these things to the girls.

But she said it wasn't true, and I believe her.

So, thanks, Dave.

But... I've taken on board,

But let me just talk to Lauren and I'll listen -

I'll listen to her, actually, not you, but thanks anyway.

We know the conversations we have,

and I trust the conversations that we have.

But Jamie's come obviously back and said to Dave,

and telling everyone, and totally taken everything out of context,

added her own words in to make it sound...

Like, it's just trying to cause trouble with us.

It's like, we're actually fine.

I think they just love drama.

They thought this would be their little bombshell.

No, I don't believe Dave at all with what he said.

Dave was just the messenger.

The message came from the girls

and probably Jamie.

After what I heard happened last night,

I got no time for Jamie.

Yeah, there were definitely, like, bullies last night.

Awhina and what's her name, who looked like a little troll?

Jamie? Jamie.

Yeah, definitely,

like trying to intimidate me and, like, you know, harass me.

That's so shit.

Like, I was literally upset, and Awhina and Jamie

were absolutely red in the face screaming.

That is not OK.

That's completely...

That's just completely (BLEEP).

I don't care how nice they are to me.

I'm not going to be playing happy families for them

if they're treating Lauren like shit.

Yeah, if you don't like their opinion,

you don't have to listen to it at all.

Well, I just reiterated why we actually wanted to leave.

I am really sick of these absolute feral people

badgering me about like, "Poor Clint."

I just don't know why everyone is so invested

in what Clint and I are doing.

But now, like, I actually don't even want to leave.

I actually want to stay, really, in spite of them.

I think I'm going to get Clint to give me a piggyback

around the grounds today,

just to maybe upset them a little bit more.

What's your plan if you get approached today?

I think I'm going to do this.

(CHUCKLES)

Hmm, yes.

Hmm, it's very interesting.

(CHUCKLES) Tell me more, Jamie, please.

Big ear mufflers.

Block it all out.

Yeah.

I'm looking forward to spending more time with you.

It should be...

It should be nice.

Yeah.

NARRATOR: While Lauren smoothes things over with Clint,

the rest of the couples are starting their day...

Breakfast for champion. Yeah.

..and with the final celebratory drinks planned for this evening,

they're taking the chance to unwind and relax.

But Awhina and Adrian are using this opportunity

to spend some quality time alone.

We're going to the beach.

NARRATOR: At last week's commitment ceremony,

Awhina shocked everyone...

I wrote, "Stay."

..by choosing to stay with Adrian

despite the ongoing conflict in their marriage.

Yeah.

NARRATOR: But regardless of the group's doubts,

the couple committed to giving their relationship another chance...

Don't feel like we really gave each other the opportunity

in the past week, so I do feel like we owed it to one another

to try... again.

..and are using their time at the retreat to reconnect.

Nice beach. It is. It's beautiful.

After the last commitment ceremony,

I was feeling quite lost.

I was unsure whether or not I made the right decision.

This part is a bit quieter than down there.

I chose to stay, but my walls were up.

But I wanted to give it a real shot and a real try with Adrian.

I think the retreat has been a turning point for me.

I'm having a really great time with Adrian.

You still haven't got any better at it.

We're back to our old selves where we're having fun together.

I have those feelings again,

back to our honeymoon,

where things did feel really cute and light,

and I want to jump on him.

Why is always me running for you, Adrian,

and you running away from me?

It's been good having that chance to connect again

and laugh and joke and be playful with one another.

And I'm glad I wrote, "Stay."

Should we write our name in the sand?

Yeah.

If you asked me a week ago, would we be here

having such a good time?

Honestly, I wouldn't have been able to answer.

What are you doing?

You know, our relationship has had its ups and downs,

but we still choose to be here.

After the commencement ceremony, we both agreed

to have a fresh start.

To me, there's no doubt that we have a connection and chemistry.

Alright, you do A and A, and I'll write, "We stayed."

So, I'm grateful that we both stayed.

And I hope she's grateful that she wrote, "Stay", as well.

"We stay." (LAUGHS)

To think we both nearly left.

We would have missed out on this amazing trip.

You know, it's not even this, but I just feel...

Yeah, like being around you again.

Me too.

I want to be around you a little bit more.

That's my kind of truck.

NARRATOR: After last night's confrontation,

Jamie and Dave have headed out to Byron Bay's local shops...

Hello, crystals.

..hoping some crystal shopping will get rid of the negative energy.

I think you need to get your chakras aligned.

Do you have anything to fix him?

We need something to awaken his senses.

Yeah, you should try a clear quartz.

I like this one.

There you go.

After what happened at girls night,

I wanted to get out of the house to, like, decompress.

This one called out to me.

Psychic activating, psychic abilities.

That's the one. That's the one.

I'm feeling, yeah, I'm feeling this.

Oh, my gosh, my energy is just...

I can feel it.

Lauren's behaviour last night was appalling.

Thank you. Thank you.

His first crystal! You were here for this.

But Carina and Rhi let me down majorly.

I'm just over this now.

Obviously, everything with Lauren last night was just wild

and emotionally draining.

I've never been rude to this woman, ever.

And I'm just like...

No. Oh, my god.

It was just so nasty.

She does think she's better than everybody else,

and it's clear to see that.

But you go be better than everyone over there

and just leave us (BLEEP) alone because...

Yeah.

..there's no need to be so rude towards you

and not even get to know who you are.

What really like annoyed me last night

is Rhi and Carina kind of like peace-made.

Yeah.

Like, you know what I mean?

I wouldn't rush to see if this woman's OK.

She stormed off after saying, "I'm bored of you."

The fact that Lauren was so horrible to me,

and Carina and Rhi were really trying to console her.

It's so disappointing.

Like Rhi and Carina, what are you doing?

Yeah. Like...

She's been so rude to the people

that you guys are all good friends with.

And, you know, where's my support?

All I do is rally for my friends so they don't feel let down,

so they don't feel unsupported.

I feel like I've been the one making most of the effort.

But that's really frickin' gaslighting her, bro.

Like, that's just - what is this?

It's bullshit.

Where's his responsibility?

I was upset and I had every right to be.

What about Awhina?

You left her.

She was devastated. I know. I said, I (BLEEP) up.

But like, "I (BLEEP) up." No, where's your care?

You left her.

Like, I didn't learn a single thing about you.

All I know is that your sister has diabetes now.

I got nothing from it.

Veronica, I understand how you want more feeling,

but put yourself in the flip situation.

Maybe it's hard for him to say those things.

I stand up for everyone.

But last night, Carina and Rhi didn't ever once back me,

support me, check in on me.

And so yeah, like when I see disloyalty...

..that is the best way to piss me off.

NARRATOR: Coming up...

Rhi, come on, man.

Don't back her up!

..loyalties put to the test.

Stand up for me, too, Carina. Don't defend her.

NARRATOR: Things are heating up in Byron Bay

on the last day of the retreat...

..and Eliot is diving head-first into spending quality time

with his new partner.

(SQUEALS)

Me and Veronica right now are doing pretty good,

which is pretty big considering where we were a week ago.

NARRATOR: Things got off to a rocky start for Veronica and Eliot

after Veronica accused Eliot of holding back

during their confessions letter task.

Don't you want me to understand you?

Yes, I do.

OK, but then why aren't you helping me with that?

You coming in here saying, "I'm disappointed..."

Oh, here we go again! Again!

You're just like a broken records, saying the same thing

over and over again.

Yes, but...

I'm not interested in having

a boring, repetitious argument with you.

This conversation is over.

I'm done, I'm done, I'm done, I'm done.

NARRATOR: At the commitment ceremony, the experts encouraged the newlyweds

to approach each other with understanding...

You must be able to work together,

and if you're going to actually move forward here,

you've got to empathise.

Does that make sense?

Yeah, of course it does.

..and they decided to give their marriage another chance.

I want to stay.

Well, what have you got for us, Veronica? Stay or leave?

We're going to have to, like, go back into the trenches

and figure it out.

But I'm, like, here to do that, so...

I wrote, "Stay."

Great.

(APPLAUSE)

Oh, that's so good.

Eliot and I, a week ago to today is like, night and day.

Last week was really difficult,

obviously we were apart...

(LAUGHTER)

..and I think that previously we were focusing

on the things that were separating us

rather than the things that unite us.

It's actually cold.

Yeah, it is. I'm going back in.

I'm going back in.

When we're by ourselves, there's a lot of pressure

and we're very different and it kind of amplifies it.

Whereas when we're in an environment like this,

it kind of just works a little bit better.

Mummy, look!

I think coming on the Byron retreat was exactly what we needed.

Having that change of scenery from our usual apartment

was just perfect for us, I think to just have a little reset

and it's just been great.

It just feels really relaxed and really natural.

There's a shark in the pool!

Listen, I have eyes in my head. I see the man.

(CHUCKLES) He's hard to miss.

Yeah, he's gorgeous. Like, I've always said that.

I've said that since day one. He's gorgeous

even when he's irritating me.

Like, it's a fact.

That was so good.

So, yeah, this retreat's incredible for us.

It helps us relax into things a little bit more

and take the pressure off.

So, we're just, we're still in that learning and understanding phase

of our relationship

and I think we're just both so much more open

to figuring it out.

So, it's a really good place to be.

NARRATOR: With Jamie and Dave still out for the day...

Do you surf? A little bit.

..Rhi is taking the opportunity to talk to Lauren

about what happened on girls night.

Where's the oil?

Hey, guys. Hello.

What are you doing? Just making some brunch.

I just can't really eat in the early in the morning.

It makes me feel sick.

I'm a very empathetic person

and last night, I followed Lauren out because you could tell,

obviously, she was upset.

In saying that, you know, I get a little bit torn

because some of the language that Lauren uses

and some of the put-downs about the girls

I really struggle to digest.

I wanted to explain to Lauren,

being really petty and calling people names,

it's just really inappropriate.

How are you guys feeling today?

Um, yeah, fine.

How are you feeling?

I think I found it really hard yesterday.

Like, I felt extremely heavy waking up this morning.

Obviously, you know, I've, you know, known all the girls

from the get-go,

and, you know, I can see where they're coming from

in some of the comments they've made.

I know the struggles that you've been through

and I've wanted to be supportive as well.

On the other hand, some of the comments

like about, you know, the girls being like losers,

I just wish some of those comments weren't made.

I mean, I was saying that in the heat of the moment

because I felt attacked.

Yeah. I mean, it's hard when there's screaming and yelling

and accusations flying.

But I understand.

But I think when you're saying as well, like,

"I'm bored, I don't care for this."

Yeah. Well, I was bored with the conversation.

It was going nowhere.

I don't feel like there was any genuine feeling behind it.

Yeah.

Well, I'm disappointed the way that Rhi kind of turned on me.

You know, you think you're friends with someone,

but they're all, like, sticking up for each other and whatever.

Anyway, this wasn't like - I didn't come here to,

like, obviously attack you or anything like that.

Like, all of my concerns for you have been genuine.

Yeah.

I would hug you, but I've got oil on my hands.

It's cool.

The conversation didn't really go as well as I'd hoped.

It was very, um...

..dismissive.

Alright, guys, enjoy your brekkie.

See you, Rhi.

I'm disappointed that Lauren

didn't take accountability for her actions.

Yeah, hopefully things just settle down

and we can move forward and enjoy the rest of the retreat.

It won't happen. (LAUGHS)

NARRATOR: Coming up...

A mighty jab from Lauren...

Was anything said about, like, me?

Yes.

What?

..hits hard...

Lauren...

She called you an...

(BLEEP) me.

..and a stormy last supper...

I didn't say you were a bogan.

I said you were loud and boganic was the words that I used.

No, no, no, no, no, no. Don't... Don't even go there.

Sydney can hear you now.

Don't even. ..sees battle lines drawn.

Babe, babe, this is the issue.

Allow everyone to have a voice.

Thanks, Carina.

I'm so sick to death of it.

I've done... I've done this too many times.

NARRATOR: It's day three of the retreat...

It's so lovely.

Your kind of beach. My kind of beach.

..and while Jamie and Dave are out enjoying Byron Bay...

I'm feeling very base chakra, re-energized right now.

(LAUGHS)

..back at the house...

..Veronica and Eliot are taking the next step

in their relationship.

Are you ready? Oh, my god.

Come over here, baby. Alright, do it. Let's go.

Ooh! NARRATOR: Back waxing.

OK, we're going again.

Oh, my god!

You could make hair extensions from that.

(LAUGHTER)

I'm aware I've got back hair.

I'm a grower. Alright? (LAUGHTER)

NARRATOR: But while the group bond over removing hair,

Lauren and Clint have removed themselves from the couples.

I really want David Attenborough to narrate that scene.

That would be good.

Absolute gorilla. (LAUGHTER)

You're next.

LAUREN: It's like being in the wild. (CHUCKLES)

Ooh!

Oh, my god! Oh, there's a lot of it.

You didn't even, like, flinch, mate.

God, you're going to be here for years.

LAUREN: I wish she'd go back to the ugly mute

she was at the first dinner party.

Which one? Who are you talking about now?

Satisfying!

It's so satisfying! Oh!

Go again with that.

TEEJAY: After what happened last night,

I was definitely surprised to see Lauren and Clint still here,

burrowing away today.

I don't agree with some of the things that she's done,

but I don't... I don't hate Lauren.

I don't think anyone hates Lauren.

You never want someone to feel separated from the group.

So, I hope that she can come past this

and meet some sort of resolution

and swallow her pride and apologise.

Hey!

There he is.

(LAUGHTER)

I am a little bit surprised by Lauren's words.

Like, she mentioned, Awhina and the troll

were laughing at her. I think she was referencing Jamie.

It's not nice. It's really not nice. It's quite petty.

Lauren should have utilised this time to maybe swallow her pride

and give an apology, but there's no regret,

so it's disappointing.

Anyway, I'll leave you guys to your little retreat.

Thanks, Teejay.

NARRATOR: Stunned by Lauren showing no remorse

and her attitude towards the girls,

Teejay has gone to debrief with Eliot and Jeff.

So, your conversation down there, was it productive, do you think?

Um, it just wasn't as beneficial

as I thought it was going to be, unfortunately.

I just wanted to get some kind of empathy out of it.

But there was - there wasn't much.

Yeah, right. What did she say?

Yeah. Um, "Awhina and the troll were..."

Who?

"And the troll."

Who's the troll?

(WHISPERS) Jamie.

So, she's not at all apologetic?

She's not apologetic.

And she's doubled down on what she said yesterday really.

That's hectic. Who would do that?

The name calling,

like that needs to be addressed.

Yeah, I think she has to swallow her pride and say sorry.

If she wants to be in this experiment,

she has to say sorry and, like, apologise

for the things that she said.

Well, the thing is, even if she does apologise to the group

and the girls who she name-called, it's like, do you mean it?

Because you've had time to process last night...

And you're still calling people trolls.

..calling people trolls.

Yeah. Yeah.

I don't think that was the right move.

Oh, for sure. Yeah.

There's going to be some hard conversations for Lauren.

Yeah. Yeah. 100%.

You know, to hear those comments, calling Jamie a troll, for example,

that's very hurtful.

So, I think there's a fair bit to play out tonight,

and let's be honest here.

Jamie is not going to be happy.

If I was a betting man and I am, I would put my money

on it blowing up right there with Jamie, Lauren.

Put your house on it. Sell your stocks.

Put your money on there. It's going to explode.

Hey!

I'm actually bloody dying to know what's going on here.

Teejay's got all the good goss.

Oh, Teejay?

NARRATOR: Coming up...

Was anything said about like me?

Yes.

What?

NARRATOR: Teejay spills the tea.

Lauren...

She called you an...

(BLEEP) me.

NARRATOR: And later...

You're a bunch of wild animals.

Don't even! Jamie, sit the (BLEEP) down.

Don't swear at her, mate. Sit the (BLEEP) down.

..emotions run high...

Chill out!

Defend me maybe!

..at the final night drinks.

I'm so sick to death of it.

I've done... I've done this too many times.

JAMIE: I'm actually bloody dying to know what's going on here.

ELIOT: Um, there's not been a lot.

I mean, Teejay's got all the good goss.

Oh, Teejay! Yeah.

Come on down.

Teejay, get your ass up.

Come this way, come this way.

Teejay, I want to... What?

No, no... What?

(LAUGHS)

Don't mind me, guys.

Come sit next to your mans.

Oh, yeah!

Yeah, I just wanted to sort of break the tension.

I went and spoke to Clint and Lauren,

just seeing how they're going,

and, uh, Clint mentioned that he thinks that last night

actually brought them closer together.

Yeah, I was pretty taken back.

Last night, when I spoke to him, he was just...

He was pretty upset. Dishevelled, yeah.

Yeah, I think, he said, "I want to go in and ask her all these things

"that you've told me."

So, I don't know what her answer would have been,

but I think it would have been a completely different story.

Seeing Clint being led on like this, it's sort of frustrating.

Somehow she's got him wrapped around her little finger.

He's absolutely oblivious to what's actually unfolding

right in front of him.

I asked her what her interpretation was of last night

and she was still a bit sour.

I felt like there wasn't much question-asking.

It was a lot of attacks.

I feel like now I'm getting gaslit.

I'm going to use Jacqui's word here

because my version of reality was very different.

We wanted to go in last night

and be like, "Babe, you've got such a good chance.

"Like, make it work."

We're trying to help her...

She gave us absolutely nothing. ..so her and Clint

can give it a chance.

She's the one saying so many rude comments

and just being so blatantly (BLEEP) rude.

This whole narrative like she's a victim, it just shits me.

It started off in a respectful way,

but when you're asking questions

and then she wants to play it like it's an attack,

it's quite obvious the woman is just deflecting

from her own vile behaviour.

Was anything said about like, indirect, like, you know,

to - about me or Awhina?

Yes. Yeah.

What? Um, she called you a name.

What's the name? I'd love to hear it.

Um...

(BLEEP) It's awkward.

I hate doing this. It makes me feel weird.

She's going to find out either way.

What's the name?

What's the name?

Um...

Troll.

(BLEEP) Me. I know.

Like...

This woman's just like...

You've come in, you've shit on us.

You've been nothing but rude.

And now you're doubling down and calling me names.

You've just kicked my kennel, haven't you?

End of the day, if she doesn't like us, good. Whatever.

But calling you a troll today, there's no need (BLEEP) for that.

There wasn't any need for it. At all.

Look, there's an awkward conversation that has to have.

I don't know if Lauren's going to instigate

the conversation or not.

No. We'll have a nice little dinner.

Ask the hard questions. Is that the case, Jamie?

A nice little dinner? Huh?

Are we going to have a nice little dinner?

Absolutely not. (LAUGHS)

I have no interest in being civil with Lauren.

None.

Literally, none. I, like...

I'd rather sit here and tweeze out every individual hair on my body.

And I'm Greek. Do you know how long that would (BLEEP) take me?

NARRATOR: As the final day

of the Byron Bay retreat draws to a close...

Hello. Looking stylish.

..the couples are getting ready

for the final night dinner and drinks.

Be nice to, like, go out with a bang, you know?

Yeah. There will be a bang. Don't worry about that.

(LAUGHS) Might not be good.

LAUREN: We made it through the last day of retreat

without getting my eyes scratched out.

Although, there's still tonight.

Look, I'm not excited about the night, that's for certain.

No, neither am I, at all.

Jamie and Awhina are very big personalities

and love to get involved and... Yeah.

Yeah, I don't really have any interest

in talking to any of them.

I think that their behaviour was extremely boganic,

and I will stand by that.

Jamie, just her attitude last night and her whole demeanour

was just a bit insane.

I wasn't interested in your opinion yesterday.

Nothing's changed.

But you know what? (BLEEP) it.

I'm not even trying to be nice anymore.

You can't come in and just shit on us.

I don't think she realised what she said, what she's done.

She's opened up a whole can...

I don't even know who in their right mind

would want to challenge me.

She should have just been like,

"You know what? Let me make amends.

"I want to stay."

Instead, she's just woken up, doubled down

and called me a troll.

We haven't actually been able to discuss everything as a group

and obviously now there's like more things

that have transpired, like a bit more name-calling,

and obviously her version of events, a little bit distorted.

I definitely think people want to address it

in a group dynamic tonight.

It is giving Last Supper vibes.

(UPLIFTING MUSIC SWELLS)

Whoo! Party!

Ooh!

What a vibe.

Oh! How nice. This is so good.

Happy retreat! Look at this!

Hey, Loz. Thank you so much.

I know tonight, Lauren and I will be under fire.

But no matter what people say, we are united.

We're in this together

and I've got her back through this entire experiment.

Oh. Cheers.

Cheers.

Great - what a great retreat.

You sit there. I'll sit here.

Yeah.

How are you doing? Yeah, not bad, thanks.

I want to start off with

the comments that have been made first of all about my wife.

Now, I think it's super disrespectful

to all the women here, let alone my wife,

who backed you in day one against Eliot.

It's pretty rude that you have the guts

to call these beautiful women trolls and bogans.

I feel like it's pretty shit behaviour,

but, Clint, what do you think of her actions

about speaking about that?

'Cause last night I asked you about it and you said,

"I've got no idea about it."

And you know what?

After what I heard last night...

..I back Loz.

Clint, what do you think of her actions

about speaking about that?

'Cause last night I asked you about it and you said,

"I've got no idea about it."

And you know what?

After what I heard last night...

..I back Loz.

You came out like hyaenas last night at Lauren.

Clint, you can't back that kind of language.

You can't honestly back that kind of language.

I'm also a wog. I'm not a bogan.

I'm just putting it out there. I didn't say you were a bogan.

I said you were loud and boganic was the words that I used.

Clint's blinded by the fact that he likes her.

But you can't defend some of those actions.

If you back someone in with that behaviour,

that is terrible, mate,

and you should hold yourself accountable

because that's your partner.

Yeah. How do you excuse that?

I was extremely upset that Jamie made Lauren upset last night

by the attacks that were made on her.

Let's just clarify. Last night, there was no hyaenas.

Are you actually serious?

You actually ambushed me last night.

That is actually what happened.

You're a bunch of wild animals. That's what it felt like.

I literally were asking you questions

to help you guys get on track.

You actually didn't ask me questions.

You came with accusations.

Essentially, last night, the conversation

actually did start with questions.

Oh, my gosh.

Do you not see this behaviour?

You're looking elsewhere.

You're rolling your eyes at me.

This is what you were doing last night

and this is why I got louder and I got louder.

I can't imagine why.

Lauren.

This behaviour is not OK.

Are you kidding me right now?

And you're wondering why we're so upset

and why we're elevated and why we're worked up.

We're worked up because you were rude, dismissive, condescending,

and this is why we're here right now.

We're here right now because you're doing it again.

So, is there any apologies for calling my wife a troll?

I feel like I was being trolled last night.

Are you joking? I've never been rude to you.

That's your opinion, Jamie.

It's everyone's opinion here, mate.

No, it's not actually.

Rhi and Carina both said that they felt like I was attacked.

What?

Rhi, is that your opinion?

Rhi, come on, man. Did, what? Did we attack her?

I just said the delivery could have been a little bit better.

Thank you, Rhi.

Once again, Rhi's embarrassed me and let me down

in front of someone who is coming at me,

and now Lauren can be like,

"Ha, your friend said we were attacking."

I did... I didn't say attack.

You did actually.

You said that you felt like it was an attack.

Whether they've retracted that now, I'm not sure.

But that is what was the sentiment last night.

Because you were screaming at me, attacking me personally.

I was never screaming.

I never raised my voice until after you kept going

with dismissive comments. OK, Jamie.

No, no, no, no, no, no. Don't... Don't even go there.

I was never screaming at you till after...

After.

Jamie, (BLEEP) bring it down a bit.

Don't tell her to bring it down, mate.

She's worked up because of the actions of your wife.

How am I supposed to have a conversation with you

when you're coming at me?

I have never... I have never raised my voice.

Jamie, more listening, less talking.

Clint, back it up. Don't even.

Jamie, (BLEEP) listen more than you talk.

I just can't believe all this has happened again.

Like, I agree with Jamie, but I don't agree

with how Jamie handles herself.

Babe! Babe, this is the issue.

Just stop.

Just allow everyone to have a voice.

Thanks, Carina.

She's had a voice! I'm not defending her!

I'm just saying, like, it is a lot.

I'm listening to this, and I'm getting sad listening.

This is where you're having your empathy?

Carina is jumping on me because I'm louder.

But Lauren and Clint are saying rude things,

sour things, mean things, and she's not defending me.

Don't back her up!

Sydney can hear you now.

Don't even.

Don't (BLEEP) speak to her like that, man. Don't.

She's actually embarrassing herself.

(OVERLAPPING DIALOGUE)

Don't even.

Jamie, sit the (BLEEP) down.

Don't swear at her, mate. Don't even.

Sit the (BLEEP) down.

No, bro, this is the tenth time, bro,

you have swore at a woman, bro.

Thank you! He has sworn at me!

He has sworn at me multiple times!

Oh, my god. This conversation is going around and around.

But if your actions are rubbish, bro,

and the fact that youse both don't see that,

again, that's why we see you get along.

Bro, you can't be swearing at women

and you're rude and arrogant, bro. That's it.

No. I'm done. I'm actually done with this conversation.

JAMIE: I'm so hurt.

I'm beyond hurt.

Where were my friends when I needed them?

This is Rhi's time to speak up.

She says nothing.

This is Carina's time to speak up. She says nothing.

That is something that has devastated me.

CLINT: Jamie, sit the (BLEEP) down.

Don't even. Don't swear at her, mate.

Sit the (BLEEP) down.

Bro, this is the tenth time, bro, you have swore at a woman, bro.

Thank you!

He has sworn at me!

He has sworn at me multiple times!

Oh, my god. This conversation is going around and around.

No. I'm done.

I'm actually done with this conversation.

JACQUI: Rhi and Carina,

why aren't you speaking up for Jamie?

Come on, Jacqui.

I don't want to start beef with you right now.

We've been good.

Jacqui, where are you coming from?

I stand up to... Oh, my god.

That behaviour was not acceptable

and I found it really disrespectful to Jamie.

Thank you, Jacqui.

She's, like, literally standing up for all of us,

and I haven't heard you try and ask Lauren for an apology

in front of all of us,

and there were so many chances.

(BLEEP) me! Thank you, Jacqui!

I have spoken to Lauren.

I have literally told her today

that I didn't agree with the things that she said.

I don't care what's happened behind closed doors where I don't see.

I'm here. Now's your time.

I get it, I understand I'm a strong bitch.

I understand I say it with my chest,

but it's bullshit that only Jacqui, Adrian and my husband

would chime in.

Jamie, when did I defend it?

You spoke up for Lauren.

Thing is, you didn't speak up for her.

You feel sad for her.

No. That's perfect.

Empathy now for Lauren.

OK, babe, now you're putting words in my mouth.

I said I was... I'm sad. You said, "I feel sad."

I'm sad. I'm sad about all of this.

Don't back her up and be like,

"Let her speak", or... Don't defend her.

I'm not backing Lauren.

I want everyone to come together.

Then stand up for me, too, Carina.

We've done our time.

We've literally - I've had your back, your back.

I've had everyone's back. Defend me maybe!

What do you want me to say?

Like, (BLEEP) raise my arms?

Babe, chill.

Chill out!

My friends have completely dropped the (BLEEP) ball.

Carina, sitting there, I don't know, trying to speak.

Unacceptable.

Jamie, I'm sorry I didn't stand up for you in the moment.

I sit here and think about things,

and I think and I think and I think and I think,

and then I'm like, "Alright, I'm going to say it now.

"I'm going to say it now."

And then I like try say something,

like I take a little bit to process things.

Rhi saying she needs time to process it, not an excuse.

I literally put myself out there to defend everyone,

so don't sit silent when it's my time to (BLEEP) cop it.

That's it.

Have a listen to them.

They're actually all arguing about something

about the two people are not even there.

(BLEEP) me!

Jamie's actually probably the only one I really don't like.

(BLEEP) loud.

If she listened as much as she talked...

David, let's just disengage.

It is so embarrassing.

It is so embarrassing.

I'm so sick to death of it.

I've done... I've done this too many times.

I'm so sick of being like the bad guy, this and that,

because I speak up, I say things.

When it serves you well,

when I'm yelling for you, then it's OK.

But where is my defence?

NARRATOR: Tomorrow night...

Jamie is on a mission.

JAMIE: It's all about seeing who is going to back me.

Let's see who the F are my friends.

How are you defending this?

You're attacking me!

Shut your mouth.

Ooh!

NARRATOR: Friendships implode...

You were my friend!

..as Jamie lashes out.

How are you going to defend Lauren?

It was like 'Mean Girls'.

Who are you calling a mean girl?

NARRATOR: Will she get an apology from Carina and Rhi?

I've said a million times, "Apologise."

Oh, my god.
