1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,640
evening from all of

2
00:00:01,640 --> 00:00:03,360
You're actually way too hot.
I'm actually not happy.

3
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:04,760
(LAUGHTER)

4
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:07,640
NARRATOR: 20 singles across
Australia...

5
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:09,040
Will you marry me?

6
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:11,600
..took the ultimate leap of faith.

7
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:15,120
MORENA: I think I've hit the jackpot
today. He's just divine.

8
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:17,480
JAMIE: The experts deserve
a bloody raise.

9
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:19,920
I'm just full of freaking,
like, love.

10
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:22,440
NARRATOR: During confessions week...

11
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:24,960
I hope you would have picked up
the phone.

12
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:28,920
..some bravely opened up.

13
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,560
I hope me telling you this doesn't
push you away

14
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:35,800
and it gives you a better
understanding of me as a person.

15
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:38,440
You didn't write
a letter at all?

16
00:00:38,480 --> 00:00:39,600
No.

17
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:41,560
NARRATOR: While others struggled.

18
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:43,320
End of. That's it.
There's nothing else to it.

19
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:44,480
Don't "End of" me.

20
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,680
Don't "End of" me.
There's nothing more.

21
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:47,560
DAVE: Jesus!

22
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,280
NARRATOR: Intimacy week...
Pack up, boys!

23
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:51,960
..brought out both the best...

24
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,320
RHI: I could see myself
falling for Jeff.

25
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:55,560
TONY: That really felt nice

26
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,960
to just have that connection
with her there.

27
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,720
..and worst in our couples.

28
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,280
I made the mistake.
You've told me not to talk.

29
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,200
How hard is it to just be like,

30
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,880
"Hey, I made a mistake.
You're gorgeous." Like...

31
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,440
NARRATOR: And a fiery dinner party...

32
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,160
I'm not done with you, little boy.

33
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,000
No, no, listen, listen.

34
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,040
I will never settle for less,
ever! Ever!

35
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,560
..saw Adrian shut down Awhina
once again.

36
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,560
I am a mum and always looking
to the future.

37
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:25,840
Anyways, Jeff and Rhi, everyone.

38
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:27,720
(LAUGHTER)
Now, it's their turn!

39
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:29,600
He's being
really childish here

40
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,480
by going to the other end
of the table.

41
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,520
He's just showing he doesn't have
the maturity she's looking for.

42
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:37,080
NARRATOR: Tonight...

43
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,320
Adrian, what you're doing
is the problem

44
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,480
and I'm going to call you on it.

45
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:45,440
Awhina's opened her heart and you're
sitting here looking at the roof.

46
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,400
NARRATOR: The experts deliver
hard truths.

47
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,960
When you want to get things
off your chest, you point

48
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,160
and you get very much
in someone's face.

49
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,920
Your fight style can be
difficult to listen to.

50
00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:59,440
How does that land for you?

51
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:05,000
NARRATOR: The benefits of intimacy
week will be on full display.

52
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:06,840
I'd like to thank you, Alessandra,

53
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:08,720
because I've got to say,
it was pretty spicy.

54
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:09,840
(LAUGHTER)

55
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,320
I feel safe, I feel secure,
I feel happy.

56
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:13,720
Like, tick, tick, tick.

57
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:14,880
Yes!

58
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:17,440
NARRATOR: Before...

59
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,480
Sierah, have you opened up
to anybody else in the group?

60
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,720
..Sierah's almighty bombshell.

61
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:26,320
Ah...

62
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,240
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

63
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,360
BILLY: Sorry? What?

64
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,520
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

65
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,560
(GRAND EXCITING MUSIC)

66
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:53,440
NARRATOR: It's the morning
of the second commitment ceremony...

67
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,000
Wow, this is really good.

68
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:57,920
Is it? You like it? Good.

69
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,640
It's going to be a very, very
interesting evening.

70
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,680
I wish Riles could come.

71
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,080
Riles!
He can.

72
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,680
..and Intimacy Week
is coming to an end.

73
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,000
(CHUCKLES) You look tired.

74
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:10,880
I am.
(LAUGHS)

75
00:03:10,920 --> 00:03:12,280
I could sleep till Christmas.

76
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:13,440
(LAUGHS)

77
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,680
Me and Rhi are in a great place
at the moment.

78
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,360
Intimacy Week, I feel like
it's brought us closer together

79
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,920
and now I feel like we're cuddling,
holding hands,

80
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:22,960
a couple of little kisses
here and there.

81
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,240
We're having a great time
and we're moving

82
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,680
in, like, an awesome direction,
so I think we're in a good spot.

83
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,120
Ready to get up.

84
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,120
I'm not.
(LAUGHS)

85
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,960
NARRATOR: Last night's dinner party
has left the couples reeling

86
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,400
and this morning, Jamie and Dave

87
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,920
are still trying to process
the up and down nature

88
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,400
of Jacqui and Ryan's relationship.

89
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,440
So, another interesting evening
with Jacqui and Ryan.

90
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,360
Once again, I'm confused.

91
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,840
Yeah, because they're coming
into this

92
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,440
and being really, really united
and strong

93
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,000
but then it's just - it just
crumbles.

94
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:01,400
My Lady.

95
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,720
NARRATOR: Jacqui and Ryan entered
the dinner party as a united front...

96
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:12,920
What's happening, kids?

97
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:14,840
..and Jacqui surprised the group

98
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,360
by minimising Ryan's comments
about her.

99
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:19,640
What was one of the issues?

100
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,280
Was it Ryan saying
that you had crazy eyes?

101
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:22,960
I do have crazy eyes. I agree.

102
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:23,880
(LAUGHTER)

103
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:25,840
I brought my crazy eyes tonight.

104
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,160
NARRATOR: But the couple's
united front was short lived

105
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:34,280
when Jacqui brought up Ryan placing
her third in the photo ranking task.

106
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:35,880
I was triggered when he told me

107
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:37,840
I was not the most beautiful woman
in the world.

108
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,040
You guys have him

109
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,920
because I've had this argument
five times with you and I'm done.

110
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,160
Ryan said she had crazy eyes

111
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,760
in the same paragraph that he's
saying that she gives good (BLEEP).

112
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,040
It was a put-down comment.

113
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,320
And they say just, like,
such heavily weighted comments

114
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,080
which is just bizarre to me.

115
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:05,320
The way they speak to each other
is, like, just kind of unacceptable.

116
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:09,520
Oh, look, far out. When it comes
to Ryan and Jacqui,

117
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,280
I think they are both
freaking bonkers.

118
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,320
They're just both two nutcases
together.

119
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,800
So, I'm not surprised by anything
at this point with them two.

120
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,520
This morning, I woke up
to flowers from Ryan.

121
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,120
It's like really lovely
that he did that

122
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:36,000
and I've been asking for flowers
from Ryan for a very long time.

123
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,080
You'll be required to buy me flowers
at least once a month.

124
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,000
You buying me flowers today

125
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,120
made me feel like
the luckiest girl in the world.

126
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,680
As a man, I know how to treat
a woman

127
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,200
and really felt like the right time
to surprise her.

128
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:54,880
Very nice of you.

129
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:57,240
Very nice.

130
00:05:57,280 --> 00:06:00,960
JAMIE: They're the only couple here
that can tear into each other

131
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,200
and then go cuddle each other
that night.

132
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,320
Would you want to trade me
for any other woman?

133
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:06,560
No.
Exactly.

134
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:07,560
That's how I want to feel.

135
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:12,200
They are the only two people
that understand each other.

136
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:16,440
From an outsider perspective,
from a rational perspective,

137
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,760
from a sanity perspective,
I can't make sense of it,

138
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,640
but you know what,
it works for them.

139
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,040
I can see them working.

140
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:26,440
I can see them freaking work.

141
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,800
They will probably end up running
off having children together.

142
00:06:29,840 --> 00:06:31,520
Oh, god. No.
(LAUGHS)

143
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:32,760
Please no.

144
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,040
Happy wife, happy life.

145
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:42,880
NARRATOR: Jacqui may have moved on
from last night, but Awhina hasn't.

146
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:47,920
After sharing her concerns about
her future with husband, Adrian,

147
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,640
she was shut down by him
in front of the group.

148
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,680
All I'm trying to say is I am a mum,
I'm always looking to the future,

149
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,080
and sometimes I say things...
Anyway, Jeff and Rhi, everyone.

150
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:58,840
(LAUGHTER)

151
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:00,520
BILLY: Oh, don't worry!
Now, it's their turn!

152
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,480
No, no, no. It's all good.

153
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,320
Do not close me off like that.

154
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:10,720
How do you think the dinner party
went last night?

155
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:13,280
Could have went better.

156
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:15,600
Hmm? Why?

157
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:21,360
I didn't shut you down.

158
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:22,840
You said what you felt
you needed to say

159
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:24,080
and then you shut me down.

160
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:25,440
I said to everyone,
I said what you said.

161
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,480
You redirected the conversation
to Rhi and Jeff...

162
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,600
..mid - while I was
mid-conversating,

163
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,360
you were like, "Enough about us.
Rhi and Jeff." You did that.

164
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:35,160
Yeah.

165
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:38,480
Feeling frustrated.

166
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:43,560
Because I'm trying to find my voice
in this relationship

167
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,600
and it's hard to have one when
you're constantly feeling shut down.

168
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,960
When I try address my
concerns to you,

169
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,560
it does feel like you put me down,
it does feel like you deflect.

170
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,800
I need to have an outlet,
I need to talk to people,

171
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,000
I need to understand.

172
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,120
How come I feel like Adrian
doesn't show up for me?

173
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,000
When I'm cleaning or doing things

174
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,480
and I'm picking up your things,
that's me saying I care about you.

175
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:06,840
This is my way of showing up
for someone.

176
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:08,960
I know everyone expr...

177
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,040
But Adrian, it's not that simple.
All these very real...

178
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:13,920
I do, Adrian. It's caring
about your partner,

179
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:15,120
it's thinking about them,

180
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,840
it's appreciating
these little acts of service.

181
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:19,600
If you're not showing up for me,
how am I supposed to see

182
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,640
a long-term future for us

183
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,440
or how am I going to see
that we are compatible?

184
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,400
I asked her, "How do I show up
for you?"

185
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,000
"What does that physically
look like?"

186
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:30,280
If I was to ask Adrian

187
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:31,720
how he shows up for me...
Why are you talking so loud?

188
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:32,560
Stop talking at me.

189
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:38,600
I feel like you keep coming back
to the house things.

190
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,920
But I asked her, "Tell me, are there
examples how I can show up?"

191
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,240
And I feel like I haven't got
a proper answer

192
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:45,240
to what that looks like.

193
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:47,600
You honestly haven't given me
any reassurances

194
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,280
that we could work or be compatible
outside this experiment.

195
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,080
When there's an angry state
between us

196
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:56,480
or, you know, my very real child,
my very real lifestyle,

197
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,000
which is very different to yours,

198
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,520
how are we supposed to make it work
outside

199
00:09:00,560 --> 00:09:02,040
when we can't even make it work
inside?

200
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,280
I feel like Adrian is showing
me more every day

201
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:12,840
how he shows up for a partner

202
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,040
and I'm going,
"That's not enough for me."

203
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:16,480
I don't want to just settle.

204
00:09:17,680 --> 00:09:20,560
Because I'm not settling
for not just me,

205
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:21,840
I'm not just settling for my son,

206
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,200
like, I want to have the best
role model,

207
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,800
I want to have someone that shows up
every day,

208
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:31,920
and if you're not doing
little things for me,

209
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,400
am I wasting my time being here?

210
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,240
NARRATOR: While Awhina and Adrian
are at a standstill...

211
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,920
..down the hall, there's been
a major development

212
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,040
in Sierah and Billy's relationship.

213
00:09:48,560 --> 00:09:50,800
How are you after last night?

214
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,680
So, me and Sierah
was intimate last night.

215
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:57,680
We had sex.

216
00:09:59,560 --> 00:10:02,080
So, this is a massive breakthrough
for me and Sierah

217
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,760
because we haven't had sex
since the honeymoon

218
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:06,000
and it just happened naturally.

219
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:07,240
Thanks.

220
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:13,000
But this morning, I woke up and
there was a bit of an awkwardness.

221
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:15,360
Well...

222
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:20,000
Well, well, well.

223
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:22,320
Um...

224
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:25,680
It will be interesting to see
what the experts take

225
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:26,920
on the dinner party was.

226
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:32,200
To hear what they say
about the different couples

227
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:33,840
and their take on it, yeah,
will be...

228
00:10:35,560 --> 00:10:36,480
I'm intrigued.

229
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:39,080
Hmm.

230
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,920
I don't know, I'm feeling like
some energy from Sierah

231
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:47,200
that's standoffish.

232
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,000
And I just don't understand why

233
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,600
because she's wanted more physical
touch

234
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,880
and we now obviously have connected
on that level,

235
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:58,480
so it's confusing me.

236
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:05,040
Um...

237
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,240
Don't even know what I'm wearing
tonight actually.

238
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:12,480
Yeah, yeah.

239
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,800
Me and Sierah aren't really
connecting on the deeper level

240
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,960
that I've been craving
in that emotional connection.

241
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:24,760
(EXHALES)

242
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:26,560
It's great Nespresso.

243
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,480
But I know there's something
about her past

244
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:36,240
which she has not felt comfortable
with telling me yet.

245
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,000
She's been very closed off
about her past.

246
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:39,400
And I respect that,

247
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:40,720
but it would be nice

248
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:45,240
to kind of have
the full conversation about it

249
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,360
because that's when you find
a deeper connection.

250
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:49,720
It's going to be an interesting one.

251
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,800
Yeah. It sure is.

252
00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:00,400
NARRATOR: With the second commitment
ceremony just hours away...

253
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,040
You look beautiful.
Thank you!

254
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:03,760
That's so nice of you.

255
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:08,120
..the couples are preparing
to face the experts...

256
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:12,840
It's going to be another
interesting night.

257
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:16,400
..and decide whether to stay
in the experiment

258
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,640
or leave their marriages for good.

259
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,200
TONY (SING-SONG): Morena!

260
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:24,760
You're nice and happy.

261
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,160
NARRATOR: But getting ready
is the last thing on Morena's mind,

262
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,760
as she's still feeling resentful
towards Tony

263
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:34,840
about last night's dinner party.

264
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:37,560
What's going on?

265
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:38,840
I know we had last night
last night.

266
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:40,160
That table's hard.

267
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:41,840
You didn't have a hard night, I did.

268
00:12:42,560 --> 00:12:46,520
Since the beginning, you two have
literally been so disconnected,

269
00:12:46,560 --> 00:12:48,880
you do everything separate.
Because he goes home every weekend.

270
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:50,080
You keep fighting all the time.

271
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:51,720
Does your girl go home
every weekend?

272
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:53,160
Do you go home every weekend?

273
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,520
Does anyone here go home
every weekend?

274
00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:59,520
You hurt me so much, Tony.

275
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,480
You didn't stand up for me at all.

276
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,640
The whole table was against me.

277
00:13:06,680 --> 00:13:09,120
There's 14 people at that table.
They weren't against you, Morena.

278
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:10,440
13...
All they asked you was a question.

279
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,200
You take it on the wrong way.
No, they didn't. No.

280
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,680
Everyone was against me,
everyone else saw it.

281
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:15,800
Relax.

282
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,160
I know you're upset, I know I let
you down a little bit last night.

283
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,000
But I apologise.

284
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,520
I needed you to stand up last night
and say that

285
00:13:25,560 --> 00:13:27,400
in front of the whole table
but you didn't.

286
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,440
But sometimes you gotta listen, too,
Morena.

287
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,720
Just stop being so serious
and join their conversation

288
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:34,720
instead of giving them the Morena.

289
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,880
But I'm not an actress.
I know. I know that.

290
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,800
I can be the happiest person
in the world...

291
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,040
That's where I've lost you.
..when you can treat me

292
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,560
the way I expect to be treated
when there's no one around.

293
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:47,800
That's what counts to me.

294
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:49,200
I'm not an actress.

295
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,000
I'm sorry, Tony. I'm not.

296
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:55,560
Alright.

297
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,200
Sometimes you've just got to calm
down and enjoy the ride, man.

298
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,240
Like, talk with people
with happiness.

299
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:05,040
Everything's kind of always so
dramatic with you when you talk.

300
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,400
Just...
But you understand why?

301
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,960
You go and get your reset
every weekend.

302
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,160
And for me, it's just manifesting
'cause I'm on my own.

303
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,000
You've dumped me every weekend.
I don't dump you.

304
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:19,800
With no - I don't know anyone
in Sydney.

305
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,640
Morena, sometimes - I spend
a lot of time here

306
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,200
and we're been doing this a lot.

307
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:25,440
I need Tony time.

308
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:26,640
That's how I've been,
I've always been like that.

309
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,960
But you're here for me.
No, you're here for me.

310
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,160
There'll be times when we're going
to be spending more time together.

311
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:34,560
There will be days.

312
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,040
Let's see.

313
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:37,040

I should have come with Tony.
We're matching.

(LAUGHTER)

326
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:43,160
Well, hello, everyone,

327
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:46,160
and welcome to your second
commitment ceremony.

328
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,000
I just want to thank everyone

329
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:54,280
for taking on Intimacy Week
with such passion

330
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,040
and I hope that you all learned
something

331
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,000
about yourselves and your partners

332
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,960
to help really nourish
these relationships.

333
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:05,840
Now, as we saw last night
at the dinner party...

334
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:08,920
..there was a lot of drama.

335
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,960
People got certain things
off their chests.

336
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,880
But obviously, when it comes
to a commitment ceremony,

337
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:17,960
we go deeper.

338
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:22,760
So, we want you to bring everything
to the couch tonight.

339
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,400
Well, tonight, our first couple
up on the couch...

340
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:35,800
Tony and Morena.

341
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:37,920

Ooh.

344

Hi, guys. How are you?

345
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:50,240
Well, we are well.

346
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:52,840
But we are concerned
about how you two are doing.

347
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,280
Of course, we were there, watching
the dinner party last night

348
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:04,920
and saw that there was a lot going
on, particularly for you, Morena.

349
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:09,040
A lot of emotion, so we thought,
let's kick off with you.

350
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:09,960
Thank you.

351
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:17,120
I came into this experiment
not to be on my own.

352
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,160
I came into this experiment

353
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:23,240
to bond...

354
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,240
..with the person you've matched me
up with.

355
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:27,680
Yeah.

356
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:29,480
I haven't had that chance.

357
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,160
He's not around.

358
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:37,600
I feel - I'm really sad.

359
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,160
It feels really lonely.

360
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,840
I didn't come on this experiment
to feel alone.

361
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:48,560
And when he is around,

362
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:53,960
obligation, he does all the tasks
'cause he has to.

363
00:17:56,560 --> 00:18:01,120
But the minute the obligation
is done, Tony needs Tony time.

364
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:07,760
Well, it is me. I do do that.

365
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:11,520
Sometimes, you just - I just need
to get away

366
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,040
and have Tony time.

367
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,680
And I don't mean to be rude about it
or hurt you in any way.

368
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:20,640
Tony time in the morning,
Tony time at night...

369
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,240
..and in the weekend, Tony time.

370
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,840
Tony, why do you think you need
Tony time?

371
00:18:35,120 --> 00:18:37,480
It's just how I am.
Like, it's just how I am, like...

372
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,120
Is that an excuse?
Not really. It's just how I am.

373
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:41,640
That sounds like,
"It's just how I am."

374
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:42,720
No, but that's just how I am.

375
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,280
I'll sweep everything
under the table.

376
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,320
But that's not going to work
in a relationship.

377
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:50,640
This needs to be Tony 2.0.

378
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,840
Because if you always do
what you've always done...

379
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:55,600
It's not gonna work.

380
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,960
..you're going to get
what you've always got.

381
00:18:58,000 --> 00:18:59,680
It's time to change.

382
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:01,840
And I'm up for that. That's why...

383
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,160
OK.
That's why I'm here.

384
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,720
So, when Tony leaves...

385
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:19,400
..where does he go?

386
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:22,640
He's Houdini.

No.

I don't appreciate them laughing.

No, I don't appreciate
them laughing.

They're beautiful people. You don't
need to get them involved.

you've got to listen to.

Hang on, hang on.

I didn't say they're not beautiful.

Billy, why is it that you're
laughing at that?

Because Houdini.

412
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:42,640
We just thought
it was a funny comment.

413
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,360
Morena, we're not laughing at you,
it's just you made a joke.

The word just... The word was funny,
that's all it is.

OK.

416
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:51,720
We honestly thought
she was making a joke.

417
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,200
Can I add to that?

418
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,560
Last night, you only ever heard
the negative.

419
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:00,520
You felt attacked the whole time.

420
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:04,720
Is that true, Morena?

421
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:08,680
Do you only hear the negatives,
that you're on the defensive?

422
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,160
Or do you actually see
the positives as well?

423
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,240
Well, I didn't see any positives
last night.

424
00:21:18,120 --> 00:21:19,160
OK.

425
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:27,240
I saw there was 14 people
at a table and 13 were against me.

That's a big call.
I don't know.

Morena, I have supported you

428
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,160
and I have listened to both of you,

429
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:37,200
and I feel like I have expressed,

430
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,840
like, I've validated
your feelings over and over again.

431
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,520
To say that there's 13 people
against you, that really offends me.

432
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:49,520
That's how I felt.

433
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,560
MEL: Morena, it's so important,

434
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,520
in order to get over some hurdles
like this early in a relationship,

435
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,080
to be able to self-reflect,

436
00:21:58,120 --> 00:21:59,920
look at yourself
and your own behaviour,

437
00:21:59,960 --> 00:22:01,120
and take accountability.

438
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:02,640
Yeah.
I think, Tony,

439
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,000
you've started showing
some of that.

440
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:08,240
So, I'm asking you,
what are some of the things

441
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,800
that you may have said or done
in this relationship

442
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:12,720
that have been bad
for the relationship?

443
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:14,720
Um...

444
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:25,360
I actually don't know.

445
00:22:29,360 --> 00:22:30,680
I'm being me.

446
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,440
Well, one of the reasons
why we sit here

447
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,960
is because we need to hold
a mirror up.

448
00:22:39,120 --> 00:22:43,160
Now, we know that the both of you
need to take some accountability.

449
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:47,000
Tony, a very key question.

450
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:51,440
How have you contributed
to this relationship not working?

451
00:22:52,360 --> 00:22:55,040
It is a lot for me. You know, like,
I do take a lot of that blame,

452
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,240
like, 'cause she's right.
I disappear.

453
00:22:59,120 --> 00:23:00,120
Let me put it another way.

454
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,680
If you were giving a percentage

455
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:06,400
of who's to blame
for your relationship issues,

456
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,120
what is the breakdown?

457
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:11,560
I think...

458
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,040
I think probably 50-50, man.

459
00:23:17,360 --> 00:23:18,920
50-50?

460
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:20,600
For you, Morena?

461
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,880
What is the breakdown?

462
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,920
Well, he keeps going away, John.

463
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:31,880
It takes two.

464
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,800
So, what is Tony's percentage,
what's yours?

465
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:44,280
You know, at least a seven
or an eight.

466
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:55,240
So, he's 80% the problem,
and you're 20%? Just so I'm clear.

467
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:57,920
Yeah.

468
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,160
80% of the problems
in your relationship

469
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:05,720
is because of Tony.

470
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:06,840
Well, yeah.

471
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,120
That's how I feel. I'm so sorry.

472
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,200
I'm so sorry for how I feel.

473
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,240
(TENSE SOUNDTRACK)

474
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,000
But your 20% is what?

475
00:24:22,360 --> 00:24:24,920
Talking. Being open.

476
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:28,440
How might you talk
that would push him away?

477
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:33,080
Think about it.

478
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,120
Oh, tone?

479
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:39,560
Tell me more.

480
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:42,280
I'm passionate.

481
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,000
Some might say passionate.

482
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:45,760
Others might say...

483
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:49,440
..abrasive.

484
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:50,600
OK.

485
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,000
What do you do when you're getting
things off your chest?

486
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:00,920
Well, hand actions.

487
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,240
What exactly do you do
with your hands?

488
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:08,800
I don't know,
I talk with my hands.

489
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:13,840
Well, I've watched you
over the dinner party

490
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,520
and one of the things
that I've noticed

491
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:21,840
is that when you want to get things
off your chest, you point.

492
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,800
And you get very much
in someone's face.

493
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,080
Has anyone ever told you that?

494
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,120
No. I didn't even actually realise
I did that.

495
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:34,400
This is why we're here.

496
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:35,400
Yeah.

497
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:39,240
So, the way in which you're talking,

498
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,480
the way in which you're getting
things across,

499
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:43,600
your communication style,
your fight style...

500
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:46,880
..can be difficult to listen to.

501
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:48,840
How does that land for you?

502
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,080
Well, clearly, I didn't realise

503
00:25:52,120 --> 00:25:54,760
my gestures with my hands
were so strong.

504
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:56,240
Right.

505
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,400
But if that's what you see
and that's what I've done,

506
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,480
I don't even realise I do it.

507
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:07,760
Tony, do you feel that Morena's
intensity in her communication style

508
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:09,080
is too much for you?

509
00:26:09,120 --> 00:26:12,520
It is, yeah. At times, it is, yeah.

510
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:14,600
Sometimes I just shut down
and just think to myself,

511
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:15,960
"Tony, just shut up
and let her talk."

512
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,120
'Cause, you know, I feel
like I've lost my voice.

513
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:25,360
Sometimes I just feel like just
packing up and getting out of here.

514
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:29,200
You know? That's when I disappear,
that's when I start taking off.

515
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:32,280
When Morena comes at you
with all the words,

516
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,160
you shut down and you walk away.

517
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:35,560
Yeah.
OK.

518
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:36,920
So, there's our pattern.

519
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,280
Morena, are you willing
to work on the relationship?

520
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:50,160
You know, there's hope.

521
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,600
But actions speak larger than words.

522
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:57,520
Yeah.

523
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,480
Morena, what have we got?
Stay or leave?

524
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:04,520
(TENSE SOUNDTRACK)

525
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:09,720
Ah!

526
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:11,080
(GASPS)
BILLY: Thought she would!

527
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:16,800
Morena, what's the story there?

528
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:19,400
I put a heart next to leave

529
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,040
'cause I came here for love.

530
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,480
And I came here
with such a full heart.

531
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:31,360
And I feel let down.

532
00:27:32,120 --> 00:27:34,760
Tony, what have we got?
Stay or leave?

533
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:40,560
So, I'm going to stay,

534
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:42,360
but I put a reset button here.

535
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:49,320
Let's start again, Morena.

536
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:56,120
Let's reset, listen to what
they've said, and let's go for it.

537
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:57,560
Tomorrow's a different day.

538
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:00,960
Oh.

539
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,880
I'd like to make her happier,
which I've brought sad eyes to her.

540
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:06,040
Do you hear that?

541
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:07,440
I heard it.

542
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,360
And that's, and that's...

543
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,000
Fantastic.

544
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:12,600
Yeah.

545
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:17,360
Now, as you know, you two,

546
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,360
if one person says stay
and the other says leave,

547
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:24,560
then the couple remains
in the experiment for one more week

548
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:26,960
to work on seeing if they can
turn it around.

549
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,640
Morena, you have a chance here...

550
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:32,840
Yeah.

551
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,080
..to move forward with this guy.
Yep.

552
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:41,560
Tony needs to feel like,
"I can spend time with her...

553
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:43,760
"..and enjoy it...

554
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:46,480
"..and feel good enough."

555
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:50,080
'Cause what's coming out
of your mouth, I can translate it.

556
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:51,360
"You're not good enough."

557
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,240
If you want him to step up
and spend time with you,

558
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:56,880
you've got to embrace him.

559
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,920
What I would say though, Tony,
that's very, very clear...

560
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:07,000
..is that she is deprived of you
and she wants more.

561
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:08,480
But you're not giving it to her.

562
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:10,440
That's where I have to change.

563
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,920
There are no more Houdinis
in this experiment.

564
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:19,240
Overall, the two of you also need
to just have some fun. You know?

565
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:21,600
Be present with each other
and with the group.

566
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,480
You guys need to show us
that you can do it.

567
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:27,560
And we believe you can.

568
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:31,320
You can go back to the group.

569
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:32,800
Thank you.
(APPLAUSE)

570
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:34,760
You alright? You alright?

571
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:36,720
(CHUCKLES)

572
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:38,560
It took her a little while
for her to understand

573
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:40,200
where the experts are coming from,

574
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:43,520
like, just by, you know,
the gestures she does

575
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:45,760
and pointing the finger
and stuff like that.

576
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:47,360
BILLY: She's smiling!

577
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,880
But it's making sense to her,
so tonight was a breakthrough, yeah.

578
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:54,560
BILLY: It's a reset.
It's alright, Morena. Don't worry.

579
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:56,160
Reset, press the button.
You have to press the button.

580
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:57,600
Yeah, press the button, Morena.

581
00:29:58,280 --> 00:29:59,520
Go on, Morena. Press it.

582
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,320
(CHEERING)

583
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:03,840
This week's a different week, so...

584
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:11,680
NARRATOR: Coming up,

585
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,200
Intimacy Week ignites passions.

586
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:15,520
I was blindfolded, you know,

587
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,200
and then she took the blindfolds
off and then...

588
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:20,120
..and then she just revealed
everything.

589
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:21,080
(LAUGHTER)

590
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:22,440
I've got to say,
it was pretty spicy.

591
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:23,800
(LAUGHTER)

592
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:25,800
NARRATOR: Also...
Strap yourselves in.

593
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,840
..Jacqui baffles the experts.

594
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,320
I'm not asking Ryan to be dishonest.

595
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,200
I'm asking him to find a way
to put me first.

596
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,680
S... I don't understand.

597
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:38,720
How does that work?

598
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:51,360
Our next couple up on the couch...

599
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:55,520
Jamie and Dave.

600
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:58,920
(APPLAUSE)

601
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:00,840
Hello, you guys.

602
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:04,240
So, Jamie, why don't you tell us,
how do you think things are going?

603
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,840
Things are going, like, yeah,
really, really well.

604
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:10,400
Like, every day, he shows up
for me, validates me.

605
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:14,280
Like, I'm a big personality
and not once does he try

606
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,840
to tell me to, like, stop,
tone me down.

607
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,800
Instead he goes, "I love that
you just - you're so confident."

608
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,600
And, like, he always celebrates
when I am vulnerable.

609
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:26,480
He just knows what I need.

610
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:29,920
I'm so icky all the time.

611
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:33,920
It's just, like, I feel safe,
I feel secure, I feel happy.

612
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:35,320
Like, tick, tick, tick.

613
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:36,760
Yes!

614
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,200
She doesn't even like to cuddle
and she fell asleep like here.

615
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,280
I want to just climb up in there.

616
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:44,680
We can't stop touching each other.

617
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:48,400
I don't like this. I used to be
a bad bitch, I promise.

618
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:49,600
(CHUCKLES)

619
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:51,440
And now, I'm just soft as.

620
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:58,880
To you, Dave. How are you feeling
about this woman?

621
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:00,240
Oh, she's bloody amazing.

622
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,520
I've shared things with her
inside out

623
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:05,760
and she's just zero judgement
at all. She's lovely.

624
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:07,120
She's not big and scary.

625
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:08,360
(LAUGHTER)

626
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:11,840
Like, the whole spark thing
is, like, bullshit,

627
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:13,200
like, how everyone left
'cause they didn't have a spark.

628
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:15,760
Like, we had, like, the attraction

629
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:18,920
but, like, the sparks came shooting
out of our arse

630
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:22,120
when we sat there and worked
every day on building a connection.

631
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,000
Great point.
Like, I got lost in the bullshit

632
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:28,040
where I'm, like, he likes
going hiking, I don't.

633
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:30,280
He likes... But like instead
we've got to know

634
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:31,920
each other's core values
and now we're like...

635
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,120
Yeah.
I'll be a dog mum.

636
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:35,320
Like, (BLEEP) it.

637
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:39,240
(LAUGHTER)

638
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:44,720
Well, this is absolutely gorgeous
and it's no coincidence

639
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:46,800
that the two of you
are sitting here so happy.

640
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:50,120
You have done the work, so absolute
kudos to the two of you.

641
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,640
But we do need to go to a decision.

642
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:54,520
Jamie, let's go with you first.

643
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:57,640
"Stay."

644
00:32:57,680 --> 00:32:58,720
(APPLAUSE)

645
00:32:58,760 --> 00:32:59,760
Wonderful.

646
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:00,920
I'm going to stay.

647
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:02,440
Oh, and a little smile.

648
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,280
(APPLAUSE)
Gorgeous.

649
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:06,320
Thank you so much, guys.

650
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:07,720
Thanks, guys. Thank you very much.

651
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:10,520
(APPLAUSE)
Well done, good stuff.

652
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:13,920
Our next couple up...

653
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:17,200
Carina and Paul.

654
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:19,440
Yeah!

655
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:21,760
(APPLAUSE)

656
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:23,360
Hi, guys.
How are you, guys?

657
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:24,560
Hey, you two.
We're well.

658
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:25,400
Hello.
Good to see you again.

659
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:28,720
I would like to thank you,
Alessandra,

660
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:30,360
for the intimacy week.

661
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,280
Because I've got to say,
it was pretty spicy.

662
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,800
(LAUGHTER)

663
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,000
Tell us about it.

664
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:38,200
I was blindfolded, you know,

665
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:39,520
she - I was walking
through the hall of the apartment,

666
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:40,920
thinking, what the hell
is going on?

667
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:42,040
(LAUGHTER)

668
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,640
And then she took the blindfolds
off and then...

669
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:47,080
..and then she just revealed
everything and then...

670
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:50,280
(LAUGHS)
"And then she revealed everything!"

671
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:51,600
(LAUGHTER)
"Everything."

672
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:53,600
I love that you're re-enacting
it for us.

673
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:56,200
The things we did. I mean,
I did not expect it at all.

674
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:59,360
It did not expect that at all,
like, at all.

675
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,080
Is that what I could hear
that night? Paul getting whipped.

676
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:03,560
(LAUGHTER)

677
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:05,720
When it comes to sex, you know,
like, normally Carina

678
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:07,960
and I am very dominant
and she's more submissive,

679
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:11,680
and obviously, she wanted
to reverse that, take control,

680
00:34:11,720 --> 00:34:14,960
which honestly, I really
appreciated that, honestly.

681
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:16,080
(LAUGHTER)
It was...

682
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:19,760
I had to make it romantic.

683
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:21,680
But it was romantic.
'Cause I am... Yeah.

684
00:34:21,720 --> 00:34:22,520
It was really romantic.

685
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:25,040
But I also came out
of my comfort zone.

686
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:28,160
I did something completely different
to what I've ever done.

687
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:29,600
To what you're normally used to.

688
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:33,880
We just really brang it. We owned
it, we just had fun with it,

689
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:36,000
we joked, we just made each other,

690
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:37,560
like, super comfortable.
We were comfortable.

691
00:34:38,720 --> 00:34:41,040
What sort of feelings are you
having now for Carina?

692
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:42,680
Yeah, I actually adore her, yeah.

693
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,800
(TENDER SOUNDTRACK)

694
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:54,400
Adore? We like the word adore.

695
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:56,000
That's a very strong emotion, that.

696
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:58,560
We're not just physically connected,
we're emotionally connected.

697
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,080
Like, I actually look forward
to, you know,

698
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,560
seeing what life is going to be like
outside this experiment.

699
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:07,600
What about you, Carina?
How are you feeling for him?

700
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:08,600
I'm in awe.

701
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:12,920
Like, I'm so excited to wake up
in the morning

702
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:16,320
and then, like, yeah, just, like,
little things are making me so happy

703
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:18,200
and I'm, like, this is...

704
00:35:18,240 --> 00:35:20,360
This is just like something
different.

705
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:21,840
I don't know how to explain it.

706
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:25,840
It's not like the physical aspect,
like, yeah, that's fantastic,

707
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,320
but it's more like
the emotional aspect.

708
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:33,960
And do you notice
that you're not really talking to us.

709
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:35,120
It's like we're not even here.

710
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:36,320
Am I talking to him?

711
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:38,440
(LAUGHTER)
I'm like so...

712
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,160
We may as well just up and leave.

713
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:44,440
Because you're just transfixed
on the big fella.

714
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:46,440
(LAUGHS)

715
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:48,720
We're going to go to the decision.

716
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:51,840
I don't think it's a surprise
for anyone.

717
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:53,840
I have "Stay, stay" with a heart.

718
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:54,920
Oh, double stay.

719
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:55,840
(APPLAUSE)

720
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:57,520
Alright, stay.

721
00:35:57,560 --> 00:35:59,920
"Stay."
Yes, it is.

722
00:35:59,960 --> 00:36:02,360
Again with a love heart
and two kisses.

723
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:03,640
Nice stuff.

724
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:04,960
Thank you.
Go back to the group

725
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:06,160
and have a great week, guys.
Thank you.

726
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:07,600
You too.
Ciao.

727
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:09,520
(APPLAUSE)

728
00:36:10,720 --> 00:36:12,480
(CHEERING)

729
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:15,760
Our next couple up on the couch...

730
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:20,920
Jacqui and Ryan.

731
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,480
(APPLAUSE)

732
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:26,160
Strap yourselves in for a ride.

733
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:35,160
We'd like to get right into it.

734
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,000
We were observing last night

735
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,320
and there were a lot of voices
from the group

736
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:40,680
regarding your relationship.

737
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:43,480
Why do you think that is, Ryan?

738
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:47,800
During the intimacy workshop
that we had,

739
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,960
I made a couple of comments
which were crass

740
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:52,840
and ungentlemanly-like.

741
00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:00,240
I fully admit to that
and I'm sorry again for that.

742
00:37:03,240 --> 00:37:04,800
Yeah.
Thank you.

743
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:07,920
And my wife looks beautiful tonight.
Oh, thank you. Thank you.

744
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:10,760
Ryan, those were comments
that were disrespectful

745
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:12,400
and should not have been said.

746
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:16,120
And clearly, everybody in the group
when they heard them,

747
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:17,800
were coming to Jacqui's defence.

748
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:22,600
Your response wasn't to take
ownership of that

749
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:24,920
when you were being confronted
by the group.

750
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:27,080
Why was that?

751
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,080
I admit that they...

752
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:34,000
I was far too candid and they were
disrespectful within that format.

753
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:37,360
I fully admit to that,
and I'm sorry again for that.

754
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:38,840
OK?

755
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:43,120
I do appreciate you taking
accountability now,

756
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:46,120
and apologising on the couch
to Jacqui.

757
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:47,760
Thank you.

758
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:51,200
So, let's try to understand
where the two of you are at.

759
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:58,640
The part I'm trying to understand
and the reason I'm so confused

760
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:00,200
is the flip-flopping.

761
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:04,000
Yeah.

762
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:07,640
Last night, I observed
a variety of different couples...

763
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:11,120
..in different moments of the night.

764
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:13,760
Yeah.
Yeah, we get that. Yeah.

765
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:17,520
Because you started off being very
much a united front and a team.

766
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:21,520
At a certain point, that team seemed
to crumble down.

767
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:26,880
Then this morning, it was patched
back up together.

768
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:29,160
Yeah, I guess, like, I woke up
this morning

769
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:30,560
to two bouquets of flowers.

770
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:33,520
In that moment, I was like, wow,

771
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:37,040
I feel like finally the man
that I wanted has just showed up.

772
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:41,800
But like I realise I need to reset.

773
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:44,960
There's no point complaining
about the past,

774
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:48,800
like, ultimately I'm here to build
a positive future with Ryan.

775
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:52,160
And you got flowers.
And I got my flowers.

776
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:58,240
You're not machines. It's not simply
magically going to be fixed.

777
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:00,960
You not putting things under
the rug and ignoring them.

778
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,160
There's things that will need
to be processed...

779
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:05,800
..regardless of the fact

780
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:08,440
that you had chosen to hit
that reset button.

781
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:13,600
So, bear with me because I do want
to go back to confessions week

782
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:14,920
and the ranking challenge.

783
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:18,880
Because it was a big topic
last night at the dinner party

784
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:22,080
because after having supposedly
gotten over it

785
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:24,000
and put it aside and continued on,

786
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:27,560
it came up again in a strong way
for you, Jacqui.

787
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:32,400
I guess, having someone
not put you first,

788
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:37,320
that was a real challenge for me
because, yeah, like, I've never...

789
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:40,400
I've never been faced
with a situation

790
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:43,640
where I have to decide,
am I OK with being third?

791
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:47,680
If my husband put me third,
I would hold that to the day I die.

792
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:49,880
I wouldn't get over it.

793
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:52,600
Yeah.

794
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:54,760
Yeah.

795
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:58,880
Ryan, look, I think you have to make
your partner feel

796
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:01,760
like she is the most special person
everyday.

797
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:04,480
Yes, special. Special. Correct.

798
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:07,240
The word she used was beautiful.
Alright?

799
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:09,640
Take this opportunity
and make her feel like that, man.

800
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:11,560
Like, that's... This is - and that's
the bottom line.

801
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:13,560
Yeah, 'cause it's the most
important thing to me, right?

802
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:15,600
Like, I've said loyalty is my most
important value.

803
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:20,760
But, like, Ryan will put his own
beliefs and ego before the loyalty.

804
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:28,000
Jacqui, should Ryan have been
dishonest and put you first,

805
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:30,200
even though he did not think...

806
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:33,920
..you were the most attractive
of the photos?

807
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:37,880
I'm not asking Ryan to be dishonest.

808
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:40,080
I'm asking him to find a way
to put me first.

809
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:43,120
(FRANTIC MUSIC)

810
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:56,600
I'm not asking Ryan to be dishonest.

811
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:58,800
I'm asking him to find a way
to put me first.

812
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:03,840
S... I don't understand.

813
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:06,800
How does that work?

814
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:10,240
Well, I guess, I'd want him
to find a way to think that.

815
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,760
My question is how does that work,
Jacqui?

816
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:18,360
Putting me first.

817
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:21,160
(CHUCKLES) Like, physically putting
me first, yeah.

818
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:28,680
But it's not about me.

819
00:41:28,720 --> 00:41:30,760
I think about my children.

820
00:41:34,720 --> 00:41:36,600
So, I don't need the validation.

821
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:38,440
I... I'm happy with how I look.

822
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:40,480
I'm happy with who I am as a person.

823
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:45,160
But I don't necessarily want
to be in the energy of someone

824
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:46,520
who doesn't...

825
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:50,960
..do that for my children one day.

826
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:53,600
I just have to show up double-time.

827
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:55,400
I've got to be my own biggest
cheerleader

828
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:57,480
and that cheerleader for the people
around me,

829
00:41:57,520 --> 00:41:59,000
and the children around me,

830
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:01,560
and maybe compensate, maybe,
for the blunt honesty

831
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:03,040
and explain that,
"He doesn't mean it that way.

832
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:05,920
"He does love you",
or, you know, like it's...

833
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:07,440
And that's the solution I've got.

834
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:14,520
I take your point that there are
times down the road,

835
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:16,920
a long way down the road,
we're three weeks in,

836
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:20,000
where those days will be critical
to everyone's self-esteem,

837
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:24,400
everyone's progress, and everyone's
general harmony in the household.

838
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:32,480
So, you're going to get
that validation from me.

839
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:37,760
Especially, my son,
when he comes around.

840
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:51,000
I'm sorry.

841
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:00,640
I do believe you.

842
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:03,400
Yeah?

843
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:06,880
OK, I'm confused.

844
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:10,200
Because...

845
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:14,600
..last night, Jacqui...
Yes.

846
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:19,360
..when you were in the throes
of, you know, emotion...

847
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:23,160
Yeah.
..you said,

848
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:25,840
"He's nothing I asked for."

849
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:31,920
And now, you're talking about
your future and your kids

850
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:34,840
and, you know, you're affectionate
on the couch

851
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:37,240
and being very gentle
with this person

852
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:39,680
who you've told me
is completely wrong for you.

853
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:45,520
So, I need you to help me understand
what the hell is going on.

854
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:50,160
Yeah, so, like, obviously,
I really care for Ryan.

855
00:43:50,720 --> 00:43:53,120
But, like, if we're being honest,

856
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:55,680
I don't know if we would be
compatible in the real world.

857
00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:58,760
Because we have different interests.

858
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:02,880
Like, you know, I don't want to
stop him from reading fiction books,

859
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:04,600
and I want to keep reading
non-fiction.

860
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:06,880
Um, you know, like, he wants...
Yeah, I didn't come

861
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:07,960
into this experiment
to change someone.

862
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:09,680
..to keep watching TV,
I want to watch documentaries.

863
00:44:09,720 --> 00:44:12,040
But hold on. But hold on, Jacqui.
Jacqui.

864
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:18,400
We three see you as being
exceedingly compatible.

865
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:22,920
There's so... You guys, you guys
have so much in common.

866
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:25,480
You're getting caught in what's
not working instead of what is.

867
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:29,760
Jacqui.
Yeah.

868
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:31,480
Do you like Ryan?

869
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:32,960
Yes.

870
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:34,600
What do you like about him?

871
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:37,280
He's got a lot of patience
and tolerance.

872
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:40,520
Somehow he managed to survive a week
of me crying about everything.

873
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:43,880
He can stand up for himself,
he's very strong.

874
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:46,840
Um... He has really nice eyes.

875
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:52,520
And we've identified we both
love the driving range and tennis,

876
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:55,720
and we take cute photos together,
like, we do have a lot of...

877
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:59,040
We do have a nice collage going
in the shrine.

878
00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:02,080
For somebody who's supposedly
incompatible,

879
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:04,840
your list is pretty extensive,
Jacqui.

880
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:06,120
Yeah.

881
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:10,800
And Ryan, I'm curious, you.
Do you like Jacqui?

882
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:12,520
Yes.

883
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:14,640
What is it about Jacqui
that you like?

884
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:17,360
She's done so much in her 29 years

885
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:20,800
that other people in general
wouldn't even get close to.

886
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:23,400
And she does her best to be
emotionally intelligent as well.

887
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:26,080
And I like your eyes
and I like your smile.

888
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:27,240
Thank you.

889
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:30,240
You're a very smart man.

890
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:32,960
I know.
(BOTH CHUCKLES)

891
00:45:33,720 --> 00:45:34,760
Yeah.

892
00:45:36,240 --> 00:45:38,960
OK. Are you feeling like
you're a united front again?

893
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:41,560
Yes.
Yeah, yeah.

894
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:42,600
I feel like we're on the same page.
Yes.

895
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:43,840
Yeah.
Yes.

896
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:45,440
I hope that's the case

897
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:50,680
because honestly, the flip-flopping
cannot be the vibe with you.

898
00:45:50,720 --> 00:45:52,920
It's not going to work
if you continue flip-flopping

899
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:54,040
the way you have been.

900
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:59,200
Let's go to a decision. Ryan.

901
00:45:59,240 --> 00:46:00,960
I'd love to stick around.

902
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:06,160
(APPLAUSE)

903
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:07,720
And you, Jacqui.

904
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:10,120
And "Stay."

905
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:11,720
Beautiful.
(APPLAUSE)

906
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:13,040
Thank you, guys.

907
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:20,920
NARRATOR: Still to come,

908
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:22,960
Awhina has doubts.

909
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:26,480
Do you feel like you want to be
in a relationship with Adrian?

910
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:27,840
Scary question.

911
00:46:35,720 --> 00:46:37,760
Our next couple
on the couch tonight...

912
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:41,440
Rhi and Jeff.

913
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:42,440
Hey!

914
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:43,880
How's the suspense?

915
00:46:45,720 --> 00:46:46,560
Hello.
Hi, guys.

916
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:47,440
Hi, guys.

917
00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:48,840
Hello.
Hey, guys.

918
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:49,840
Welcome.

919
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:50,920
Thank you.
Thank you.

920
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:53,040
It's good to see you two.

921
00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:54,800
It looks like things are going
pretty well.

922
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:56,800
Yeah, things are going amazing.

923
00:46:57,400 --> 00:47:01,400
Like, Jeff is the most considerate
partner ever.

924
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:04,440
Like, I'll have a shower
and I'll come out

925
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:06,720
and he's made the bed,
put a load of washing on,

926
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:10,400
started making the coffee,
sandwiches are made,

927
00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:13,120
like, he's steamed my dress.

928
00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:15,000
Rhi, stop there, please!

929
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:16,360
(LAUGHTER)

930
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:18,280
That's a keeper, right there.
Yeah, yeah.

931
00:47:19,720 --> 00:47:22,760
I just feel so confident
in who he is as a person...

932
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:28,040
..which - I don't know whether
that's because of our history.

933
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:31,680
Now, like, it just feels like
more and more comfortable.

934
00:47:31,720 --> 00:47:33,600
You made reference to the fact

935
00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:35,800
that the two of you have dated
in the past.

936
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:37,840
Do you feel closer to Jeff
this time round?

937
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:41,920
100%. We've said that.

938
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:42,920
Oh, it's worlds apart.

939
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:45,840
Ooh, that's strong.
Yeah, it's actually incredible.

940
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:47,360
What's different, Rhi?

941
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:49,360
I guess because
we were both freshly out

942
00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:51,400
of, like, long-term relationships.

943
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:54,920
We were just enjoying each other's
company for what it was.

944
00:47:55,880 --> 00:48:00,160
But yeah, this experiment, like,
I really do feel like I know Jeff.

945
00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:02,920
Jeff, we'll go to you.

946
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:04,680
In terms of, you know, looking
at the relationship

947
00:48:04,720 --> 00:48:05,800
where it's at now

948
00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:08,080
and maybe, you know,
the next couple of steps ahead,

949
00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:10,000
what challenges are you seeing?

950
00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:12,600
I think the biggest challenge for us
right now

951
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:15,760
is that next step in the romantic
side of the relationship.

952
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:18,520
That everyone asks us all the time.
Yeah.

953
00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:20,040
"Have you done it yet?"

954
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:21,200
Yeah.
(LAUGHTER)

955
00:48:21,240 --> 00:48:24,440
Our first relationship,
it was probably - let's be honest,

956
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:26,480
it was mainly physical
and we had fun.

957
00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:29,760
So, we know the intimacy side
of the relationship works.

958
00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:32,080
Obviously, confessions week,

959
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:33,320
intimacy week, all these things

960
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:37,480
unlock things within each other
that we thought we'd never know...

961
00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:39,240
Yeah, yeah.
..I guess.

962
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:42,280
So, yeah, I think we have
a very sort of deep connection now

963
00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:44,480
and a deeper relationship,

964
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:47,520
and as soon as we get past
the little hurdle

965
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:50,640
in the romantic side
of the relationship,

966
00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:52,720
then I think we'll be
in a pretty good spot.

967
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:56,000
I don't think they should call it
a little hurdle.

968
00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:58,440
Do you? No, no.
Yeah, that's not good (INDISTINCT).

969
00:48:58,480 --> 00:48:59,800
(LAUGHTER)

970
00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:00,840
The little...
Gift.

971
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:02,480
The little...
No, not so little.

972
00:49:02,520 --> 00:49:03,520
(LAUGHTER)

973
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:04,800
The big gift.

974
00:49:06,720 --> 00:49:09,240
Alright. Well, we are going to go
to a decision now.

975
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:10,520
Rhi.
Sure.

976
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:12,880
"Stay."
No hesitation.

977
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:15,240
There it is. (LAUGHS)
With kisses.

978
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:16,480
(APPLAUSE)
Lovely.

979
00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:18,960
And Jeff, to you.

980
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:22,320
Stay with a smiley face.

981
00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:24,640
Smiley face too. Lovely.

982
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:27,600
Wonderful. Well, keep doing
what you're doing.

983
00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:29,920
Thanks. Thank you so much.
Awesome. Thanks, guys.

984
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:31,560
Thank you.
Thank you.

985
00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:33,120
(APPLAUSE)

986
00:49:33,160 --> 00:49:35,160
Adrian, I'll take you through
some lessons tomorrow, mate.

987
00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:40,280
(LAUGHTER)

988
00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:42,680
Alright, let's get
our next couple up.

989
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:47,840
Awhina and Adrian.

990
00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:50,040
(APPLAUSE)

991
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:54,360
Hello, hello.
Hello.

992
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:55,360
Hi.
Hello.

993
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:56,360
Hi.

994
00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:59,080
Let's start with you first, Awhina.

995
00:49:59,840 --> 00:50:02,040
Look, Adrian and I have had
a very trying week.

996
00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:07,600
I feel like I show up
for Adrian daily

997
00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:09,760
in little acts and little gestures

998
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:11,960
and kind comments

999
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:14,360
and I've been feeling very unseen...

1000
00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:17,480
..and from that, my...

1001
00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:20,440
You know, like, all the problems

1002
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:23,320
that we chose to kind of sweep
under the rug

1003
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:25,520
have been feeling really heavy
lately.

1004
00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:32,040
Can you explain how it is
that you don't feel seen?

1005
00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:34,960
I just feel like...

1006
00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:38,680
This is going to sound silly, but...

1007
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:40,480
(EXHALES)

1008
00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:46,640
Like, these little acts of services

1009
00:50:46,680 --> 00:50:48,360
like if I am folding your clothes

1010
00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:50,080
or if I am making the bed,

1011
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:52,240
I know that Adrian...

1012
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:55,480
Like, even when he made a comment
the other day

1013
00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:56,800
that - when I was making the bed

1014
00:50:56,840 --> 00:50:58,920
and he said, "Oh, I thought a...

1015
00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:01,120
He goes, "Why are you doing that?
A cleaner does that."

1016
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:03,440
I genuinely thought
that was the case

1017
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:05,120
'cause the sheets were so tight
in the bed.

1018
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:08,320
That was just... I just thought
it was like a hotel bed.

1019
00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:13,320
But that comment made me feel
very unappreciated.

1020
00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:19,680
And when I don't feel like
I'm getting that from him,

1021
00:51:19,720 --> 00:51:22,840
that it makes me hard for me
not to look to the future.

1022
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:27,320
How is Adrian going to fit
into my life...

1023
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:30,080
..when I am a mum?

1024
00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:32,680
That's when I start feeling
like we're not compatible...

1025
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:35,200
..outside of this experiment.

1026
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:42,640
Adrian, right now,
Awhina's opening her heart

1027
00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:44,400
and sharing some stuff

1028
00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:46,720
that must be pretty hard
to talk about,

1029
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:48,760
and you're sitting here
looking at the roof.

1030
00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:53,640
And now you're smirking
and looking at the boys.

1031
00:51:56,040 --> 00:51:57,920
I'm starting to understand
how you might feel

1032
00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:00,080
that Adrian's not listening to you.

1033
00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:01,640
I was listening.

1034
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:08,280
I'm just reflecting that back to you

1035
00:52:08,320 --> 00:52:10,440
because that has an impact
on your partner.

1036
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:11,760
Yeah, and I understand that.

1037
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:13,720
Do you?

1038
00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:14,720
Yeah, I do.

1039
00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:18,120
But how do you think that makes
her feel when you do that?

1040
00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:20,160
Unseen.

1041
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:24,920
Awhina, do you feel like
you bring up issues with Adrian?

1042
00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:28,640
I feel like sometimes when
I address problems or issues,

1043
00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:29,880
you'll shut me down.

1044
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:31,120
Like what?

1045
00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:34,640
When I say things
that you're unhappy with,

1046
00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:36,840
I feel like I don't have a voice
anymore and I...

1047
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:37,880
'Cause I just want -

1048
00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:39,120
explain to me one thing
that I've done that for.

1049
00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:41,040
You said just then when we were
having the conversation

1050
00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:43,560
when we do these tasks...
Well, she mentioned today

1051
00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:46,400
she's been talking about
how we are not compatible.

1052
00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:48,840
Why would I do
any of these things now?

1053
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:50,280
Why would I want to show up?

1054
00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:52,920
Because you're telling me
we've got no future,

1055
00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:53,920
so what's the point?

1056
00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:58,600
I'm not an affectionate type
of person and...

1057
00:52:58,640 --> 00:53:03,640
OK. Adrian, what you're doing there
is the problem.

1058
00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:06,520
And I am going to call you on it.

1059
00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:08,160
That's fine.

1060
00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:10,480
I watched you do it last night,

1061
00:53:10,520 --> 00:53:12,240
she's trying to tell you
about her feelings,

1062
00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:15,000
and you come in hard
and you shut it down.

1063
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:19,760
Has that ever been said
to you before?

1064
00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:21,880
That you shut people down
if they bring up an issue?

1065
00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:23,080
No.

1066
00:53:24,840 --> 00:53:28,600
Do you think that you see and hear
and validate Awhina?

1067
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:32,680
Yeah, I mean, this past week, no.

1068
00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:36,200
But you're only telling
one part of this story.

1069
00:53:36,240 --> 00:53:38,320
Now, everyone should hear
both sides of the story.

1070
00:53:38,360 --> 00:53:40,960
Adrian, that's the real issue

1071
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:44,320
is that when she brings up
a problem,

1072
00:53:44,360 --> 00:53:46,440
you push back and shut down.

1073
00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:50,040
That is not turning up for her,
it's not validating her.

1074
00:53:51,120 --> 00:53:52,520
Do you understand that?
Yeah.

1075
00:53:54,080 --> 00:53:56,520
She's saying, "I'm bringing up
issues and he's not validating me."

1076
00:53:56,560 --> 00:53:58,400
But she also does that as well.

1077
00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:00,040
'Cause it's like, again,
when I say anything...

1078
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:01,640
But now you're in point-scoring.

1079
00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:03,240
No, it's not about point-scoring.

1080
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:05,360
Adrian, I'm telling you right now

1081
00:54:05,400 --> 00:54:07,840
that you have to win every argument.

1082
00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:08,800
I don't.

1083
00:54:08,840 --> 00:54:09,960
This is what you're doing.

1084
00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:14,880
And this is why she's going
to turn her attention

1085
00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:16,160
to, "We're not compatible."

1086
00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:20,120
She doesn't want you
to argue with her.

1087
00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:22,920
You're going to fail
if you do that.

1088
00:54:23,720 --> 00:54:27,920
What she wants you to do
is to listen and validate her.

1089
00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:29,560
And I have done that.

1090
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:35,960
Adrian, I need to know from you
right now in this moment.

1091
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:38,920
Do you want to be in a relationship
with Awhina?

1092
00:54:43,160 --> 00:54:45,760
Of course, I do. 100%, yes.

1093
00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:51,120
Now, Awhina,

1094
00:54:51,160 --> 00:54:55,040
do you feel like you want to be
in a relationship with Adrian?

1095
00:54:55,080 --> 00:54:58,080
(TENSE SOUNDTRACK)

1096
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:02,480
We have some really great times
where I...

1097
00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:06,000
No, no, no, it is a straightforward
yes or no.

1098
00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:09,200

Yeah, and I'm scared.

What scares you the most right now?

1120
00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:34,680
I guess...

1121
00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:37,000
When I think about

1122
00:56:37,040 --> 00:56:39,240
how I'm not looking
for a life partner for myself,

1123
00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:43,080
I'm looking for a potential future
stepdad for my son.

1124
00:56:44,920 --> 00:56:47,600
It's so heavy that it's crashing
down on me.

1125
00:56:48,760 --> 00:56:51,560
But that's when fear starts
from rearing its ugly head, I guess.

1126
00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:54,720
And that's when I start saying
things like,

1127
00:56:54,760 --> 00:56:56,120
"I don't feel like
we are compatible."

1128
00:56:57,360 --> 00:57:00,200
But in saying that, like, Adrian
is a really great guy.

1129
00:57:00,240 --> 00:57:02,920
I am very comfortable with him,
we do have really great chemistry,

1130
00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:04,720
we do have a great physical
connection.

1131
00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:05,640
Yeah.

1132
00:57:05,680 --> 00:57:08,960
I just need to feel a little bit
more seen as a partner.

1133
00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:12,040
And then I won't be making these -

1134
00:57:12,080 --> 00:57:14,000
but I know I shouldn't be
making these comments,

1135
00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:17,040
but it's how I feel when I -
and I'm reactive to my emotions,

1136

you know, in the moment.

Adrian, stay or leave?
What you got?

1147
00:57:53,720 --> 00:57:56,160
I don't know how to spell leave,
so I said stay.

(APPLAUSE)

1149
00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:01,880
What you need to really hear, Adrian,

1150
00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:04,960
is that she wants to be here
but she's scared.

1151
00:58:06,040 --> 00:58:09,280
Which means more validation,
more reassurance.

1152
00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:10,320
Agreed.

Just tell me I'm the most beautiful
girl in the world every day.

I'm kidding, guys.

Yeah.

to the group.

up on the couch is...

..Sierah and Billy.

Hello.
Hello, you two.

1164
00:58:42,680 --> 00:58:43,600
Hi. How are you?
Hello. How are you?

1165
00:58:43,640 --> 00:58:44,760
Very well.
We're well.

1166
00:58:50,560 --> 00:58:54,200
Watching you tonight, I think
what comes through very clearly

1167
00:58:54,240 --> 00:58:56,040
is that something's going on

1168
00:58:56,080 --> 00:59:00,360
and that's, you know,
getting in between the two of you,

1169
00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:03,480
so let's just cut straight
through it. What's happening?

1170
00:59:03,520 --> 00:59:05,360
Are you feeling disconnected
as a couple?

1171
00:59:06,080 --> 00:59:07,440
Yeah.
Yeah.

1172
00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:10,800
Tell us about that. Where do you
think the disconnect is?

1173
00:59:14,880 --> 00:59:18,200
I have to be honest with you,
I just feel very confused

1174
00:59:18,240 --> 00:59:19,480
about the place we're in right now.

1175
00:59:20,480 --> 00:59:24,640
Because when we had sex
on the honeymoon,

1176
00:59:24,680 --> 00:59:30,760
we kind of dropped straight off
and I felt a bit...

1177
00:59:32,400 --> 00:59:34,760
..like we maybe rushed into that,
or we both did.

1178
00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:36,000
Yeah, definitely.

1179
00:59:36,800 --> 00:59:40,440
But then last night,
we've had sex again.

1180
00:59:44,600 --> 00:59:50,160
So, last night, you chose to
bring sex back into the equation.

1181
00:59:52,720 --> 00:59:55,480
So, I wanted it to happen
at the right time

1182
00:59:55,520 --> 00:59:57,560
and it felt like it happened
at the right time,

1183
00:59:57,600 --> 00:59:59,960
and then, I guess, it feels
like we're back

1184
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,360
in a kind of similar spot
on the honeymoon...

1185
01:00:03,320 --> 01:00:06,720
..where we've dropped off again
and I'm, like, is it just like...

1186
01:00:07,720 --> 01:00:10,000
My head's - cogs are turning,

1187
01:00:10,040 --> 01:00:12,000
is it, like, is it just
a sexual thing?

1188
01:00:12,040 --> 01:00:16,520
'Cause Sierah is quite, like, sexual
as a whole, like...

1189
01:00:17,920 --> 01:00:19,840
And I'm just not like that.

1190
01:00:19,880 --> 01:00:21,880
Mine's about, like, what's in here.

1191
01:00:23,880 --> 01:00:25,680
An emotional connection
is massive for me...

1192
01:00:27,040 --> 01:00:30,840
..and I'm trying to build that,
really, before other things.

1193
01:00:35,280 --> 01:00:37,680
Um, I'm being pretty open
with Billy

1194
01:00:37,720 --> 01:00:39,600
that I need more physical touch.

1195
01:00:40,440 --> 01:00:43,160
And it's not just about the sex.

1196
01:00:43,200 --> 01:00:45,160
Like, holding my hand,
putting your arm over me,

1197
01:00:45,200 --> 01:00:47,720
like, playing with my hair,
like just touching me.

1198
01:00:48,680 --> 01:00:50,120
I mean, I feel like
we're getting there,

1199
01:00:50,160 --> 01:00:52,240
that's what I thought anyway.

1200
01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:53,480
But...
I don't.

1201
01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:54,400
Like, that's the problem.

1202
01:00:56,640 --> 01:00:58,200
And I get the emotional bond thing.

1203
01:00:58,240 --> 01:01:00,880
I want that too and I think we have
a pretty good bond so far,

1204
01:01:00,920 --> 01:01:02,360
but it's a friends thing.

1205
01:01:02,400 --> 01:01:06,080
Last night, it was like
a drunken fumble in my opinion.

1206
01:01:11,920 --> 01:01:13,640
It was quite slow,
it was passionate.

1207
01:01:13,680 --> 01:01:15,840
It was - I felt connected to you.

1208
01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:20,000
Yeah. I enjoyed it
and I felt close to Billy

1209
01:01:20,040 --> 01:01:22,120
and I like having sex with Billy
because it's Billy.

1210
01:01:22,880 --> 01:01:23,840
But, like, it wasn't...

1211
01:01:24,480 --> 01:01:25,320
Um...

1212
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:27,160
For me, I'm like,
that just didn't feel

1213
01:01:27,200 --> 01:01:28,840
very passionate or intimate to me,
you know?

1214
01:01:28,880 --> 01:01:31,040
Well, I felt like we were
connecting.

1215
01:01:31,080 --> 01:01:33,000
Yeah, I just think
I'm just finding it...

1216
01:01:33,640 --> 01:01:36,680
Like, I just do often feel confused
about, like, where I'm at

1217
01:01:36,720 --> 01:01:38,720
with, like, my feelings
and stuff like that

1218
01:01:38,760 --> 01:01:40,520
because I do feel like
it's quite fleeting.

1219
01:01:40,560 --> 01:01:42,680
I do think that I do really like
Billy sometimes

1220
01:01:42,720 --> 01:01:44,160
and I've actually got feelings,
and then...

1221
01:01:45,400 --> 01:01:47,200
It's like, and then sometimes
I just don't.

1222
01:01:48,840 --> 01:01:51,240
I think it's just because
I'm not getting my needs met at all.

1223
01:01:52,040 --> 01:01:53,480
OK.

1224
01:01:57,680 --> 01:02:00,680
What are you doing to help build
the emotional connection with Billy?

1225
01:02:00,720 --> 01:02:04,600
Billy has expressed for a while now
his need for emotional connection.

1226
01:02:05,600 --> 01:02:08,200
I think that we obviously still need
to speak more

1227
01:02:08,240 --> 01:02:10,280
about, like, things that have
happened in my past.

1228
01:02:10,320 --> 01:02:13,800
I just find that difficult
in this environment.

1229
01:02:14,600 --> 01:02:18,080
And it's just a bit (BLEEP) up,
I guess,

1230
01:02:18,120 --> 01:02:20,080
and it's hard for me to talk about,
so...

1231
01:02:20,960 --> 01:02:24,160
No, but Alessandra's asking
what do you think you've done

1232
01:02:24,200 --> 01:02:25,160
to build the emotional connection?

1233
01:02:25,200 --> 01:02:26,560
But you'd said to me that you,

1234
01:02:26,600 --> 01:02:29,000
to build the emotional connection,
you need me to open up more

1235
01:02:29,040 --> 01:02:32,520
about that, but I'm explaining
why I actually can't do that.

1236
01:02:34,360 --> 01:02:37,000
You know how important family
is to me. It's my biggest thing,

1237
01:02:37,040 --> 01:02:38,960
and you've said a few times,

1238
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:40,560
"Oh, yeah, I'll tell you,
like, I'll tell you, I'll pull you,

1239
01:02:40,600 --> 01:02:42,560
"and I'll tell you whenever..."

1240
01:02:43,240 --> 01:02:44,960
We're still four weeks
down the line and I don't know,

1241
01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:47,200
and I'm like, yeah.

1242
01:02:47,240 --> 01:02:50,240
(TENSE SOUNDTRACK)

1243
01:02:52,360 --> 01:02:55,560
I was hoping that because I've been
so open with you,

1244
01:02:55,600 --> 01:02:57,720
you would... Like, you don't have
to repay that,

1245
01:02:57,760 --> 01:03:00,040
you don't have to, but just,
you see, I mean,

1246
01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:01,880
you've seen me literally break down.

1247
01:03:01,920 --> 01:03:05,320
(TENSE SOUNDTRACK)

1248
01:03:05,360 --> 01:03:09,360
Sierah, have you opened up to anybody
else in the group about your past

1249
01:03:09,400 --> 01:03:10,800
and past experiences?

1250
01:03:11,760 --> 01:03:12,920

01:04:02,400 --> 01:04:03,400
Yeah, I told you.

1265
01:04:03,440 --> 01:04:04,400
I told you about this.
I didn't know about...

1266
01:04:04,440 --> 01:04:05,280
A couple of weeks ago.

1267

'Cause it was at our apartment
when you were watching the footy.

that night...

1270

..that we had shared some stuff.

about the conversation

Adrian and I had had...

1276
01:04:27,760 --> 01:04:29,600
Yeah, but what was it about?

1277
01:04:29,640 --> 01:04:31,760
I don't know, I don't know
what this past comment is.

You've shared more with him
then you have me?

1281
01:04:41,320 --> 01:04:42,400
I literally had told you this.

1282
01:04:43,480 --> 01:04:45,640
Sierah, you have - I swear
on my little brother's life,

1283
01:04:45,680 --> 01:04:47,480
you have not mentioned anything
about it.

1284
01:04:50,120 --> 01:04:51,800
But for me, it's the circumstances.

1285
01:04:53,080 --> 01:04:55,560
I don't like feeling forced
or like I have to do something.

Adrian, you were there, obviously.
Yeah.

But do you remember...

1288
01:05:04,520 --> 01:05:06,480
..talking about our past
and I spoke to Sierah.

1289
01:05:07,600 --> 01:05:11,080
And I was, like... How I found it
so hard and why I didn't do it...

1290
01:05:16,120 --> 01:05:17,560
And she felt the same.

1291
01:05:18,480 --> 01:05:19,360
So...

1292
01:05:21,840 --> 01:05:25,320
Yeah, the conversation started
and we spoke about it, and...

1293
01:05:25,360 --> 01:05:26,360
Did you open up?

Well, I just feel very confused

1297
01:05:39,920 --> 01:05:45,520
that if she's shared that someone
else in the group, but not to me,

1298
01:05:45,560 --> 01:05:47,520
I asked you multiple times
along the honeymoon

1299
01:05:47,560 --> 01:05:49,320
over the first three or four days

1300
01:05:49,360 --> 01:05:51,240
and I just decided to leave it
'cause you said

1301
01:05:51,280 --> 01:05:52,480
when you're comfortable you will,

1302
01:05:52,520 --> 01:05:53,880
but you've been more comfortable
with Adrian than you have me.

1303
01:05:56,200 --> 01:05:57,880
That's very confusing to me.

1304
01:05:59,680 --> 01:06:04,560
I've shared so much about past
with you

1305
01:06:04,600 --> 01:06:06,280
and nobody else in the group.

1306
01:06:08,240 --> 01:06:10,960
What I wrote in that letter
in confessions week,

1307
01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:12,880
I broke down that night.

1308
01:06:13,760 --> 01:06:19,280
I broke down and I revisited
something I thought I put away.

1309
01:06:21,680 --> 01:06:22,920
And I was...

1310
01:06:24,920 --> 01:06:26,640
That was a lot for me
and you know it was.

1311
01:06:31,280 --> 01:06:34,360
So, that was a pretty big thing
that I did.

1312
01:06:35,480 --> 01:06:39,880
And the fact that it doesn't feel
reciprocated

1313
01:06:39,920 --> 01:06:41,120
coming off that,

1314
01:06:41,160 --> 01:06:43,160
but you can with someone else

1315
01:06:43,200 --> 01:06:45,560
is very, very strange
and confusing to me.

1316

Can you understand

1317
01:06:49,320 --> 01:06:51,840
why Billy's feeling clearly
blindsided at the moment?

1318
01:06:52,760 --> 01:06:53,760
Yeah.

1319
01:06:57,400 --> 01:06:58,760

too,

our confessions week to me.

out that he opened up so easily

1324
01:07:14,840 --> 01:07:18,640

that's a big 'F-you' to the face.

to Awhina at some point.

I'm not going to think
you're damaged goods.

1361
01:09:02,600 --> 01:09:04,680
I'd just - I'd take the fact
of you wanting to open up

1362
01:09:04,720 --> 01:09:06,640
on a deeper connection to me,
which is what I want.

please?

that the emotional connection
needs a lot of work...

01:11:02,080 --> 01:11:03,920
(SOBBING)
I can't deal with you.

1409
01:11:03,960 --> 01:11:05,440
(SOBBING)

1410
01:11:05,480 --> 01:11:06,680
I am upset!

1411
01:11:06,720 --> 01:11:08,440
Jacqui, Jacqui.
It's not-it's not your wedding.

1412
01:11:08,480 --> 01:11:10,080
Get a grip, come on sweetie.

1413
01:11:10,120 --> 01:11:11,160
And...

1414
01:11:13,400 --> 01:11:15,320
..for a second chance

1415
01:11:15,360 --> 01:11:16,680
at love?

1416
01:11:16,720 --> 01:11:19,640
The unmissable new weddings...
