Original subtitles

(KNOCK AT DOOR)

(SCREAMING)

NARRATOR: A visit from their family and friends...

Have you two said, "I love you?"

I think he has to say it first.

..gave our couples fresh perspective.

She's like this on Steve

and Steve's just sitting there like this.

NARRATOR: And saw Rachel and Steven deepen their bond.

A beautiful tea for a beautiful girl.

NARRATOR: Tyson 2.0.

Bring it in.

Advice from the experts

gave his marriage a much needed boost.

TYSON: I could stand here for another three minutes.

NARRATOR: But the final crash course task...

Gay guys coming up to me, I don't like that.

..saw he and Stephanie clash.

Do you like gay people?

I'm not gay myself, you know? Each to their own. But, um...

(LAUGHS) Yeah, I hope so.

What I need more from you is... space.

The eye gaze.

NARRATOR: And following a disastrous move-in week...

You don't see the star in me.

You don't see the light in me. See the star in you?

It's a metaphor.

'Cause it's a performance.

NARRATOR: ..Juliet vented her rage at Joel at a fiery dinner party...

Very disgusted by him.

I'm not... I'm not married to a man.

I actually like the teddy more than I like Joel.

The teddy is not...

Oh my god. Oh.

JOHN: I am absolutely disgusted.

NARRATOR: Tonight...

Welcome, everybody, to the fourth commitment ceremony.

..love is in the air.

My husband told me last night. "You look sexy".

NARRATOR: Our couples continue to make significant progress.

We shared our first pash thanks to you guys.

We love a pash.

So, what's the issue with the words if the feelings are there?

NARRATOR: Filip's moment of truth.

The man has to say it first.

That's a Puerto Rican opinion, too. I get it.

Yeah, yeah. Yes, yes.

Yeah. (LAUGHS)

NARRATOR: Is this the night he drops those magic words?

First of all, I'm not against gay people.

I just feel like that whole topic can... can really be pushed on us.

NARRATOR: Tyson's unfiltered opinions...

I don't think you have much empathy.

..cause tension amongst the group.

Having awareness is not pushing anything on you.

But is this the hill he is willing to die on?

I'm done with this experiment.

What?

NARRATOR: And...

All we are hearing are excuses.

..sorry seems to be the hardest word.

You were giving me devil eyes.

You should apologise to me.

NARRATOR: Juliet's version of events leaves the whole room speechless.

I certainly understand what that means.

I feel like I had--

Are you even listening to what I'm saying?

Don't speak over Alessandra.

Show some respect.

(THEME MUSIC)

(WONDROUS MUSIC)

It hurts.

What's with the face?

Are you sneezing or having an orgasm?

What's happening?

(LAUGHING) Hey.

NARRATOR: It's the morning of the fourth commitment ceremony.

Alright. Here, give me a cuddle.

(KISSING)

STEPHANIE: How's that coffee?

TYSON: It's alright. Like, I'm drink... I'm drinking it.

(LAUGHS)

Another week.

NARRATOR: Following a successful Family and Friends Week,

for Rachel and Steven, the pair are on cloud nine.

STEVE: Thanks for the pancakes.

You're very welcome.

Coffee soothes the soul.

(EXHALES)

I don't think there's much to soothe this morning, though.

NARRATOR: Their family and friends lunch

was a huge step forward for the couple,

with Steven receiving some much needed advice from his family

about his levels of affection towards Rachel.

I feel like when I was sitting there,

She's like this on Steve

and Steve's just sitting here like this.

Yes. Like, come on, dude.

She obviously is really into you. Let your wall down a little bit.

NARRATOR: And equipped with Mum's words of wisdom,

Steven is now seeing Rachel in a whole new light.

RACHEL (VOICE OVER): Steve and I...

I feel like we've just shot forward in our relationship

in a really great way.

Like, last night when we were going to bed,

Steven was so happy.

Flirty, fun.

It was delightful.

(LAUGHS) That was a bit funny.

STEVEN (VOICE OVER): It's amazing what you...

when you just have a glass of wine and you talk for a few hours,

how you can feel about someone.

Or you just have a little moment of bantering and you go,

"Wow, you're awesome".

(LAUGHS)

Well, I think we've had the best week we've had, to be honest.

Yeah.

You know, that's why I'm sort of really looking forward

to the commitment ceremony.

I want John to be, like, "Yeah, good on you, mate".

(LAUGHS)

NARRATOR: Despite Rachel and Steven's positivity,

last night's dinner party left many of the couples reeling

as tensions between Juliette and Joel reached breaking point.

Giving loser.

You see the way she speaks to me? This is how it is.

JULIETTE: I mean, right now, I'm like, disgusted.

That's actually not..

I'm not married to a man, is what we're trying to say.

I actually like the teddy more than I like Joel.

ALISSA: Joel and Juliette. That was a disaster.

It was. It was chaos. That was bad.

The way they communicated was horrible.

Oh, my god. Just to be honest.

Last night, I felt really sorry for Joel.

Yeah.

For her to just disrespect him like that in front of a whole group.

I think was out of order. Yeah.

Yeah. Yep. No I agree. ..to be honest.

She was nasty. She was so nasty to him.

Yeah. And like, he was never, ever, ever disrespectful last night.

He didn't even say to her, you know,

"Your braids at the front of your head are stupid".

Like, he didn't say anything.

I reckon the experts are going to have a bit to say to Juliette.

Yeah, she's going to get more heat than a sauna.

Yeah, but I think she's going to have a lot of regret,

to be honest with you.

Good.

I felt bad for Joel.

For him to be attacked that badly by his partner...

that would be tough.

I hope he's OK.

NARRATOR: Waking up alone,

The effects of Juliette's words are taking their toll

on husband, Joel.

JOEL: Yeah.

Feeling a bit dazed and confused and perplexed.

And my heart is hurting.

NARRATOR: The biggest impact coming from Juliette

being adamant that Joel declared himself the star

of 'Married at First Sight'.

You're getting all of that from me? I'm getting a performance.

No, you're not... I'm getting a performance.

You don't understand me.

OK . I'm going to give you-- You don't see the star in me.

You don't see the light in me. See the star in you?

Yeah. Yeah, literally.

Because it's a performance! It's a... it's a metaphor.

'Cause it's a performance.

He looked at me, like, deadpan me in the eyes and said,

"Well, I'm the star".

Juliette has behaved appallingly.

I came into this experiment

with an open heart and an open mind,

and it's very clear that we have hit rock bottom.

Um.

I'm not really feeling good about seeing Juliette at the moment.

The way Juliette is treating me right now,

it makes me feel less than.

And it makes me feel like I'm not valued.

So, things have to change, for sure.

Going into this commitment ceremony...

I really hope that Juliette

has been able to reflect on her behaviour.

I'm hoping that Juliette can apologise to me.

Yeah.

I don't deserve to be treated like this.

Everyone's got their limit and I'm close to mine.

NARRATOR: Down the hall in a separate apartment,

Juliette remains convinced

that Joel said he was the star of show

and questions his authenticity in the experiment.

Well, yeah. I'm not apologising for last night. No way.

What I saw of Joel at the dinner party,

I was completely disgusted by.

Eww. Um...

Um, he just completely gaslit me in front of the whole entire group

and then tried to create a smear campaign

to paint me out to be some crazy bitch.

And by the way,

you're going to get crazy bitch when you're giving me crazy bitch.

Idiot.

I think my anger was fair...

for what I was faced with.

Yeah, so, tonight,

I'm hoping the experts see Joel for what he truly is.

He wants to be perceived as, like, the star of the damn show.

And he was not giving stardom.

He was giving loser. He was giving mini poop.

He was not behaving like a man.

He was behaving like a scared little boy...

who didn't have his teddy bear with him.

NARRATOR: This morning,

the atmosphere is tense in Stephanie and Tyson's apartment..

with Stephanie feeling a growing distance

between her and husband, Tyson.

Just a few little things that have, like, been bottling up, I suppose.

I'm a bit upset by some of his comments,

some of his views on things,

like, the whole submissive topic and this whole submissive role

that Tyson says he wants,

which he brought up again last night at the dinner party.

Like, I look at it this way, I'm the provider, I'm the protector.

Like, I'm the one that's bringing in the money.

I'm the one that's protecting for my family.

And my wife should stay home, you know, cook, clean,

look after my kids.

She can't multi-task with three kids.

Like, she needs to focus on the kids.

Who says that can't?

Like... My husband.

My husband says I can't.

He's the most (BLEEP) rigid man I've ever met in my life.

But every time I have spoken up, he's always like,

"So, listen, Steph. This is how it is, Steph".

So, I feel like I'm somewhat suppressing my emotions

in order to not have arguments with Tyson.

How did you feel...

like we went last night?

Um, I feel like we went pretty good.

Mm.

Um, it's really good just to, I don't know, be amicable

and go in as a united front.

Um, opposed to, you know,

having a heated debate with you over something silly.

STEPHANIE (VOICE OVER): This week's dinner party was successful

for Tyson and I...

because I didn't speak up.

If I'd spoken up, we would have argued.

You know, Tyson doesn't like to be challenged.

This week, I think, um, yeah,

it was a lot more mature environment.

Mm. Do you...

what do you think about David mentioning the submissive thing?

Yeah, the whole submissive thing...

Like, I just don't think it was something...

that necessarily, had to get, you know, brought up once again.

Like, we've spoken so much about that.

(CLEARS THROAT) So, yeah, let's just get on with that

and not even...

I'm not even gonna bother talking about that anymore. But, um...

Yeah, look, I think with Danny, um, he's actually quite a nice guy.

(VOICE BECOMES MUFFLED) So, I think, yeah,

he and I have got a common.

Um, yeah. Just try to see if I can get along with.

And, I don't know.

STEPHANIE (VOICE OVER): I feel a bit at my wit's wits end.

Everything is Tyson's way or the highway.

I will raise a few issues with the experts this evening.

It seems that the only person he listens to is John.

Not even

Mel and Alessandra,

because they're women.

Stay positive Steph and, um...

Yeah. Yeah. Mm.

TYSON (VOICE OVER): Going into this commitment ceremony

I'm feeling good.

I think me and Steph are definitely at a more better place.

I'm looking forward to speak to most would be John.

Um, Alessandra, she's a sexologist, so it's kind of irrelevant.

Mel.

Mel's Mel.

But I'm all ears for John.

Yeah. It's going to be interesting.

Yeah.

NARRATOR: The countdown is on

to tonight's fourth commitment ceremony...

Mwah. I'll see you soon.

..which marks the first time

that our three new couples can decide whether to stay...

CHRIS: You're looking sharp.

SAM: Oh, thank you too. Thank you so much.

..or leave the experiment.

I was going to try and not ruin your lipstick.

My lipstick? Yeah. I was going to...

You're wearing it on your cheek now, babes.

Whoo. Badge of honour.

(SUSPENSE MUSIC)

Greetings, gentlemen.

Hello, guys. Come on in.

TYSON: Looking fabulous. All yous.

(SIGHS)

JOHN: Welcome, ladies. WOMAN: Hi.

MEL: Hello, ladies.

Hello.

(EXHALES)

How are you?

ALISSA: Oh.

Thank you.

Well, welcome, everybody, to the fourth commitment ceremony.

The honeymoon is absolutely over now

MEL: This week has been a big week for our original couples.

Of course, you've had the opportunity

to meet with friends and family.

ALESSANDRA: And our new couples who have just moved in,

of course, just went through Crash Course Week.

We'll be here tonight to go over everything that happened,

what didn't happen,

and what should be happening moving forward.

First up on the couch...

Filip and Stella.

(LAUGHS)

Hello.

Hello.

How are you two going?

Yeah. We're going... We're going great.

How did this week go with friends and family and everything?

Uh, went great.

Um, but we've got a hard-hitting question

asked by one of Filip's good mates.

Straight away, I was like,

"Oh, guys, I have an important question to ask.

"Did you already said I love you?"

And I was like, "OK, I need to get a drink".

And I was like, "I need to get away".

ALESSANDRA: How did you manage that?

We just said that we do communicate without words,

but we do both agree, like the feelings are there for sure.

So, what's the issue with the words if the feelings are there?

I have an opinion...

that the man has to say it first.

Oh, that's a Puerto Rican opinion too. I get it.

Yeah, yeah. Yes.

Yes.

Yeah. (LAUGHS)

Yeah, her belief system is that, you know,

if it's going to come out of anyone first,

I'm gonna have to say it.

So, just for my own clarification...

(LAUGHS)

..just so that I understand as well...

you were mentioning that you guys feel things

and that, you know, because, you know,

and you're communicating that by Morse code and looks...

(LAUGHING)

..but no words.

(LAUGHTER)

Yeah, yeah, we're tiptoeing around.

Like, we asked random questions, like, I guess,

"Do you think I love you?" And she's like, "Yeah".

And I'm like, "Oh".

He's using it in a sentence.

Yeah. He started to use the word, "Love".

It's been dusted off.

I'm not allergic to it. Yeah.

Yeah. So, we're just alluring, I guess, around it.

We're in a good place.

The friends and family...

When I was sitting there, I was like, looking around,

everyone's getting along like a dream.

Everyone's eating and stuff.

I'm like, yeah, this could totally work in the real world.

You know, just it feels right, you know?

And we're still in the experiment, but I'm like, yeah...

this is this is for me, you know?

What do you think? Yeah, I agree.

It's beautiful. Yeah. It's just easy.

So, what is holding you back, Filip,

from telling her how you feel?

Uh, the feelings are super strong,

but I know that sometimes

you can get caught up in the whole experiment.

and, um, I want it to be genuine.

Like, I personally, like, I've only said...

I've only said it to someone just living in the outside world,

like, not in an experiment.

And I understand that it is real. This is real.

Have you ever been an experiment?

(LAUGHS)

Oddly enough, I don't know. I... I don't know.

In this environment, in another environment,

if you're feeling then you're feeling,

and I think that needs to be celebrated.

No, there's definitely is.

There's good vibes around there with us. Yeah.

It's... I don't know. Yeah, we'll see.

Yeah. We'll get back to yous.

(LAUGHTER)

Well, I don't think we're going to be very surprised then.

We should go to the decisions.

Stella, you go ahead.

I adore him, he's beautiful. And, um, yeah...

Up, up, upwards and... Whatever the saying is.

(LAUGHS)

Stay.

MEL: Brilliant.

Uh, this week's been great, and just... it all leads to

this is going to work, you know?

So, I'm... I'm loving it.

I'm going to be hanging around here.

Loving it. Staying.

We're loving it too for you guys.

Well done. Have a great week. Appreciate yous.

Cheers. Thanks heap. Thank you.

That's love.

Alright. Let's get our next couple up.

Joel and Juliette.

(OMINOUS MUSIC)

(CLAPPING)

(MAN CLEARS THROAT)

Hello, you two. Come and grab a seat.

(EXHALES)

How was your week?

It was OK.

That's putting it mildly.

We've had a few...

a few nice moments.

Apart from that, it's been really bad.

(CLOCK TICKING)

OK.

Tell us, uh, Joel,

what have been the difficult moments through the week?

Well, before Juliette moved apartments...

she was accusing me of being fake.

I said to her, "Juliette, I'm not a fake person.

"You just don't see the real me.

"You don't see the light in me, and you don't see the star in me".

Then she's like, "Aha! See?

"You think you're the star of the show!"

And I'm like, "Juliette, it's a metaphor.

"It's a figure of speech".

I'm... What I mean by that is you don't see the true essence in me.

So, she has twisted that whole thing.

No. Yeah.

No.

Juliette, I remember the exact words I used.

So, you've misinterpreted my words...

Can I speak? ..and used them against me.

Can I speak? Publicly slammed me.

Can I speak?

Thanks.

You are painting me out to be a liar.

You said you are the star.

And you definitely don't see me as the wife.

You see me as your way onto this show...

because you again want to be the star of the show.

No, no, no, that's not true. I never said that.

There's just constant reputation savaging.

Like, last night.

the way she talks down to me in public, in front of everyone...

it shows that she has no respect for me.

Last week,

we did the physical intimacy challenge that was set.

And I read out the first envelope,

and I read, "Step one.

"Stare into each other's eyes for three minutes".

And then she screamed at me,

"I'm not staring into your devil eyes".

That was very hurtful.

Did you say that?

Yeah. It does feel like I'm getting the devil vibes from him sometimes.

Sorry. Gonna call it how I feel.

Are you not apologetic about that? Do you have...

No, I'm not apologetic.

At that moment, you were giving me devil eyes.

All you've done is... is... is degrade me and demean me

and disrespect me and put me down.

And I've never retaliated once, not once in two weeks.

Not once have I said...

I haven't said one mean thing to you.

Not one. Not one insult.

Wow.

Honestly, like, feels like I'm always at fault for everything.

You haven't owned up to anything.

You should apologise to me.

JULIETTE: Wow.

Honestly, like, feels like I'm always at fault for everything.

You haven't owned up to anything.

You should apologise to me.

I think I should apologise after the dinner party last night?

Yeah, a hundred percent.

So, just to be clear, you would hope for Joel to apologise tonight to you

I would hope that he takes accountability.

Um...

I don't think Joel thinks he has done anything wrong.

Like, I don't think he thinks he's hurt me in any way.

I think he thinks he's the... the realest one here.

And the one that's the most evolved.

And there's nothing he's ever done wrong in his life.

But I feel like last night was just very uncalled for.

Um, felt like we were doing a smear campaign against me

at the end of the table with the guys...

and tried to make me look bad.

Like, that doesn't seem like a good husband to me.

JOHN: Uh...

What were those specific moments?

What were those things that he was saying or doing to you...

that really was designed to make you look bad?

Um...

What was the things?

(TENSE MUSIC)

(CLOCK TICKING)

I don't know.

I guess, maybe when we were talking about, like, the star comment...

and he just kept gaslighting me and lying me

saying that I was the one that was lying,

that I was the one making up all of that stuff.

But we've already established

that I use the word, 'Star' to describe a metaphor.

You said you are the star.

Um, and you know, you are the theatrical man.

It's like it just feels like I'm not talking to a human being.

Joel, you're shaking your head... Mm.

..in disbelief.

What's going on for you?

I think at the core of it...

Juliette does not accept me for who I am.

You think I'm fake?

I'm not a fake person, Juliette.

I've treated you-- This vibe...

No, no. ..is very character right now.

No, it's not character.

I'm not a character.

I've worked hard to become this man,

and I have a very strong sense of self, and I'm happy.

I'm joyful.

I spread positivity wherever I go,

and I make people feel better about themselves.

You think you do.

That is what I do. I spread love and I spread joy.

You haven't been doing that with me.

I've been trying but you push me away, Juliette.

You've been pushing me away and you've been putting me down,

you've been rejecting me, and you've been very nasty.

Are you actually listening to yourself?

The way you speak is... is vicious and with venom.

The way you speak is condescending and belittling.

No, no it's not. Yes, it is.

No, it's not, Juliette. Yes, it is. Yes, it is.

OK.

We've heard enough.

We know from what we saw last night...

and from what we see on the couch,

that it's time particularly for you, Juliette, to listen.

This is something that you need to take on board.

I find it breathtaking...

that you, Juliette, want an apology

from Joel for last night.

Your behaviour last night towards Joel...

was ugly.

And if I'm being totally honest, it was mean and cruel.

We're not sure if I've ever seen someone on the attack

in such a way as you did to Joel last night.

You called him a liar.

You said he wasn't a man.

You said he was embarrassing.

And you found him unattractive.

(TENSE MUSIC)

You said, actually tonight...

that he launched a smear campaign against you...

Mm-hm. ..last night.

And what we saw...

was you going around to different groups of people

and destroying his character.

And at no point...

did he say anything derogatory about you.

And yet you sit here saying, "I want an apology from him".

Do you see...

how unusual that request is?

Yeah.

I don't think you understand the magnitude of it.

Yeah.

Now, I'm telling you this because you need to learn...

that regardless of whether there's a he-said she-said going on

in a relationship...

regardless of whether you feel like there's an injustice...

you can never talk to your partner in that way...

because that is absolutely inappropriate and unacceptable

to happen in a relationship.

Yeah.

ALESSANDRA: I'll tell you what my concern is,

and it is one among many.

What we witnessed last night was so incredibly vile.

If that is the way that you dare to speak to Joel in public,

I shudder to think how you can speak to him behind closed doors.

It was shocking.

Yeah. I mean, I definitely was unkind last night.

"Unkind"...

is really, really throwing a lot of sugar on top of it.

But yesterday, it feels like I was...

fully crashing out.

Yeah, if you saw what I was saying.

The fact that you're justifying any of it...

and still...

still have not, with profound shame and remorse,

turned to your partner and apologised

is beyond me.

No, I definitely think I was unkind for sure,

because I was angry, I was hurt.

Like, you know, when we're fighting,

I do say mean things in the heat of the moment,

but, like, that's normal.

Like, everyone does that.

All we are hearing right now are excuses.

You are not taking any of this feedback on board.

Yeah. Um...

You're sitting there and you're saying, "Yep".

Yeah. And you're saying, "OK"...

but you're sitting there with your arms crossed,

absolutely closed off to anything that we are saying

Look, I have--

Not heard a word of acknowledgement.

And not an apology.

Yeah, absolutely not an apology.

OK, I'll do that now, if I can.

(TENSE MUSIC)

Um. (CLICKS TONGUE)

Look, last night, I obviously involved all of you guys.

Um...

Very sorry. Honestly, like...

not one to be dragging every single person down.

STEPHANIE: I don't think you need to apologise to us.

You need to apologise to him. Juliette.

I'm about to. I'm about to.

Ah, I thought I would be first.

Last night, I obviously involved all of you guys.

Um.

Very sorry. Honestly, like...

not one to be...

dragging every single person down.

STEPHANIE: I don't think you need to apologise to us.

You need to apologise to him, Juliette.

I'm about to. I'm about to.

Ah, I thought I would be first.

Um...

Joel.

I have always said definitely...

the wrong thing.

Um, and I don't feel that much hatred towards you.

I guess, maybe, I just felt watered down and tired

and exhausted

and it just came out in a disgusting way.

And I really apologise for hurting your feelings.

You're definitely a man.

You're not... you're not... You're shaking your head.

I don't accept your apology.

I think it's insincere.

OK.

I guess when I was feeling so hurt,

I completely didn't see how much hurt and pain I was giving to you.

You've been doing that from day one.

No, I haven't.

Yeah. This is how it's been from day one behind the scenes.

No, it has not.

Juliette, what I'm saying to you, feedback that you need to hear

is you talk in a very toxic fight style.

You can't say sorry.

I've apologised.

Not really.

I'm confused why you think that.

I can give you a really good example.

Just now, you were apologising

and your apology,

part of the words you used

were, "I don't even feel that much hatred towards you".

Yeah, no, because it's been moments...

"I don't even feel that much hatred".

There's definitely... I'm...

It's not my first language,

but I certainly understand what that means.

I have been feeling hatred.

Are you even listening to what I'm saying?

Don't speak over Alessandra. Show some respect.

JOHN: You're proving our point.

Sure. I'm sorry, guys.

Let's go to the decision.

We're going to go with you first, Joel.

(SIGHS)

I have too much respect for myself.

Uh, Juliette, what have you got for us?

Um...

I'm really sorry, but I did write 'Stay'.

I'm really sorry.

I didn't obviously realise how...

awful and vile my actions have been.

Um, I've always liked the glimpses we've had.

I've seen why the experts connected us.

Like, we... We had the best time sometimes.

And so those were the bits where I'm like,

"OK, I want to work towards that more.

Um, I obviously didn't realise to the extent I was hurting you.

So, I'm hoping that I can make it up to you.

I guess we have another week together.

And you set boundaries with me on the second night of the honeymoon.

So...

it's my time to set boundaries.

Sure.

And I will not be disrespected like that again.

I will not tolerate it.

I will always treat you with kindness and respect...

and I expect the same treatment back.

Of course.

So, that's my boundaries. Yeah.

And it's a one-strike policy.

There's no second chances. So, that's it.

Mm-hm.

Now, Joel has very clearly laid out his boundaries to you.

Are you able to respect those this week?

Definitely.

Do you want to re-say them?

I mean, it was the bare minimum.

I don't quite know how you've forgotten.

We're talking about respect.

Basic respect.

Yeah. I mean, we can, I guess, have a chat about it tomorrow.

My biggest worry is that everything that you've heard from us...

has fallen on deaf ears.

Definitely not.

Well, there's only one person

that's going to be able to prove us wrong.

Understood?

Yeah.

You can go back to the group.

Thanks.

(SCATTERED CLAPPING)

Do I want to be with a person who disrespects me like that?

No, I don't.

So, if I'm going to feel differently towards Juliette...

she needs to drastically change.

It's time for action.

NARRATOR: Coming up...

(LAUGHS)

Gotta love that laugh, eh?

(LAUGHS)

..romance is blooming.

We just had our first pash, thanks to you guys.

I think it was, like, 25, 30 seconds.

Yeah, something like that. Yeah.

Yeah, keep practising.

Yeah. Keep practising. (LAUGHS)

NARRATOR: Before...

We bicker when I speak up and share my opinion.

And you don't like it?

NARRATOR: ..Stephanie finally speaks out.

So, am I supposed to be quiet?

Am I supposed to be quiet?

JOHN: Next couple up on the couch...

Rachel and Stevo.

(CHEERING AND CLAPPING) Hey.

(CHATTER AND LAUGHTER)

Hello, you two. STEVE: Hiya.

Get rid of that negative energy.

It's a bit of bit of drama on this lounge today.

Shake it off. Oh.

Oh, look at you two, all cuddled up on the couch there.

Oh. That's cosy.

We noticed that.

Oh, oh.

(RACHEL LAUGHING)

Previously, you hadn't seen any real physical affection between you two.

So, what's changed? What's going on?

Well....

We had a good, Family and Friends, um, Day.

My brother, you know, gave me some wise words.

He was observing the body language between me and Rachel.

And he goes, "Well, I'm watching Rachel.

"She's really leaning into you and giving these cuddles,

"and you're just standing there like a stunned mullet".

And he goes, "Do you realise how this could be making Rachel feel,

"like, you're sort of, subtly rejecting her?"

Wow.

So, I took that on board and sort of, you know,

my brother's holding the mirror up to me,

going, "Look what you're doing".

Go, brother. This is good.

It's amazing.

That small little bit of advice can really change things around.

Um, I feel like now I'm starting to change my ways

and I'm showing a bit more, you know, affection towards Rachel.

You know, we had a pretty good kiss

and a bit of a chat and a cuddle on the bed last night.

So, it's definitely a step in the right direction.

Oh, my god.

That's a big step forward.

That's a different approach from you

Yeah, it's a good feeling.

Can I brag for a second because I love me a subtle brag.

My husband told me last night before we went to sleep,

had a little kiss afterwards,

I said, "You look so handsome tonight".

And he's like, "And you look sexy".

I love it.

(LAUGHS)

It's one thing for your man to call you "Beautiful", right?

It's another to be called "Sexy".

Oh, yeah.

I was like, "Mm, OK, OK".

(LAUGHS)

(LAUGHS) Love it.

(LAUGHS)

Gotta love that laugh, hey?

(LAUGHS)

And your smile, Stevo.

My smile?

You're grinning from ear to ear.

Uh, awesome. (LAUGHS)

MEL: It's really good to see.

And on that note, Rachel - stay or leave?

I...

Shock. I'm going to shock you all and stay.

Shock, shock. (LAUGHS)

Love that.

Um, do I need to make a speech before I say it

or should just blurt it out?

Ah! I wrote, 'Stay'.

There's an exclamation point. Take note.

(LAUGHS) Three.

DAVID: Nice one.

It really feels that you are connected this week.

And now we want to see the romance grow.

MEL: Yes. So, go back to the couch...

(LAUGHS) ..and next week,

keep working on that.

Thank you all so much. Have a great week.

Thank you. Thank you.

Nicely done, you two.

Good stuff. Yes.

Oh my gosh, I gotta stop smiling, my jaw starts to hurt.

(LAUGHS)

Nice.

Our next couple up on the couch...

Chris and Sam.

Whoo-hoo!

Hello, boys.

CHRIS AND SAM: Hello. Welcome.

Yeah.

A couple of big smiles.

Yeah. How are we?

We're very well,

but we're more interested in how you two are doing.

Oh, no, we're going well.

Um, the crash course was good. Great.

Um, yeah, we really opened up, and we're vulnerable with each other

and just threw ourselves in.

I think that's why

um, we shared our first pash thanks to you guys.

We love a pash.

Uh, the three minutes was a bit crazy, guys.

(JOEL LAUGHS)

We opted for just a normal.

I think it was, like, 25, 30 seconds.

It's, like, yeah.

Yeah, keep practising.

Yeah. Keep practising. (LAUGHS)

I'm really enjoying the playfulness

that's developing between the two of you.

It's a sign that, you know, you're starting to drop the walls

and starting to build some trust.

Every day, the task that you guys gave us

The task that you guys gave us brought us so much closer together.

Um, which is probably something I wouldn't do in the real world.

Um, so thank you.

And I need that.

And we do have a lot of fun together.

Yeah.

And as you know,

we're always watching the dinner parties.

And we saw, Chris, that you shared some pretty big news.

I did. Yeah.

Um, so obviously I shared the news that I've got children coming.

Um, the group received it so well, and they were so supportive.

So, I just want to say thank you guys so much.

It was really amazing to have that support.

WOMAN: Congratulations.

Yeah, they just took it so well, which was really great.

Um, and Sam took it great as well.

Some people may see that as a red flag or, you know,

a bit of an inconvenience, I don't know.

So, the fact that Sam was really supportive

of my decision to do that,

meant the world to me.

I just feel so proud of him.

You know, he wants to... wanted something in his life,

and he's made it happen, which is really cool.

Um, I'm, like, always been open to kids,

and kids are something that I possibly want in the future.

So, at the end of this experiment, if we are together,

which I hope we are,

then we can look at how that's going to look.

I love the maturity that the two of you are using...

in your approach here, you know?

You've set yourselves up for a positive experience

regardless of what the outcome is. CHRIS AND SAM: Yeah.

Yeah. Well, look, I think we will go to the decision.

Yeah. We'll go with you first, Sam.

Uh, I wrote...

Stay.

And a big smile. Love it.

And Chris?

Well, funny that because... (CHUCKLES)

I also wrote something with a smiley face.

Oh, we're the same smiley face.

What the hell?

Matchy matchy.

WOMAN: Whoo. (CLAPPING)

ALESSANDRA: Very cute.

Um, I think that you guys really have found your groove

and what is actually working for you.

So, I will encourage you to keep doing some more of that.

And I would highly, highly, highly stress how important it is

that you continue having fun with one another.

Yeah.

Have a great week.

Thank you. Thank you, guys, so much.

Enjoy.

Thank you. Thank you for everything.

That's alright.

Our next couple up on the couch...

Gia and Scott.

Yes.

Welcome to the couch.

Have you guys been this week?

We had our first little run in.

Ooh? You did?

But we're all good. We survived. We're good.

Yeah. What happened?

So, we had family and friends.

Um, overall, it was good.

There was one hiccup on the way.

Um, it was a bit of a smart comment my friend made

in regards to comparing Gia with my ex.

What was the comment?

He kind of said, like, "Well, how do you compare to his ex"?

"How are you different to his ex?"

And I'm like, "Whoa".

Knowing you have had struggles

with feeling insecure at times in your past...

I'm wondering what that brought up for you, Gia.

Um. It just made me feel like I wasn't good enough, to be honest.

How?

(VOICE TREMBLING) Oh, I don't know. Like...

It just hurt because...

um, I've had this happen before with my ex partner,

where it's like...

a certain type of looking girl was, like, always brought up,

and, like, I'd be finding out

he'd be looking at this and looking at that,

and it's like I just felt like, "Oh my god.

"Am I in the same situation again where I'm being compared?"

Like, it just made me feel like, honestly, like, I'm less than.

So, I had all these things in my min

and then the next day was very upsetting.

I'm sitting in the car.

There was a song on that like we didn't like,

and I was like, "Oh, he's like... Change my... change the song".

I do that.

You know how your phone comes up with a camera roll memory?

Came up with his ex partner, like, in lingerie.

And I'm like, "Oh my god, what's going on?

"Why does he have them?

"Like, I'm being compared".

So, I said, "If you want to be with me

"and you want this relationship to work,

"I need you to delete all those photos".

And he said, "No".

After what happened with the friends

I thought, "Oh, my god, I'm not heard at all.

"I'm not seen.

"I'm not important. I just felt...

gross.

There's no excuse. I take full accountability for this.

At the time, I was lazy, I was stubborn.

I have 71,000 photos on my phone. I don't go digging for that stuff.

Um, but I wasn't putting myself in her shoes...

and I didn't think through it enough.

Um, so once Gia was just explaining her full emotions

and obviously made me realise these photos need to go.

I erased every single one of them.

And then we hugged it and we kissed,

and it was the best thing that we felt.

We both moved on from it straight away.

And I think the biggest lesson-- Well, just on that...

I don't know if you have moved on.

SCOTT: We both moved on from it straight away.

And I think the biggest lesson-- Well, just on that...

I don't know if you have moved on.

Because tonight what I'm watching with you two

is a different energy.

Uh, previously, you've been very much a team...

uh, and you've been very present on the couch.

Whereas tonight, particularly you, Gia,

you seem flat, as though you've got a lot on your mind.

Um...

I thought I was over it, but...

I still feel, like, deeply hurt.

I think Scott is kind of grazing over it.

Like, for me it was very hard.

He came to the realisation too late for me.

You know, I've let you into my whole world,

my whole life and like, and, like, you can't just delete some photos?

I just for me... it was, like, I felt like shit.

And I just started rethinking everything.

I was prepared to leave the whole experiment.

Scott, did you know that she was so rattled by this

that she was thinking about leaving the experiment?

I... I'll be honest...

I thought it was odd.

Like, I didn't know.

That's why we're going there. Yeah, because...

You need to see this, and you need to hear this.

Yeah.

I personally didn't know that

because I feel like when we talk through things...

I feel like we've talked through enough of what the problem is.

We hug, we kiss, and we move on with the day

and we're actually smiling and we're happy.

So, I didn't know Gia felt this hurt.

I personally didn't,

or else I would cater and do anything I can

to bring the smile on her face.

The thing with Scott is like, we'll have this disagreement

and like, I'll voice how it's made me feel

and we'll resolve it.

But there's residual feelings, like, the next day

where I still might feel

might feel like I need just a check-in

because I feel like, yes, we apologise

and we moved on.

But like, I can't just forget how I felt

because it was quite deep for me.

And I'll vouch for that.

I haven't been the type that checks in the next day

on an argument or something that's happened before,

which I now know, like, it's something I need to work on.

I'm all in for this,

and I want to continue this and... and grow together.

I'm glad this has happened.

Like, we need this

because we have understood each other more now.

Like, I've learned something tonight.

So, mark my word, if something happens like this again,

I'll be checking the next day and making sure you're OK.

I want you to feel as comfortable as possible.

Like, that's my goal.

If you're happy, I'm happier.

Gia, what's your feelings towards Scott right now?

Um, yeah... I really like Scott.

Like I want to continue being with Scott.

This wasn't enough for me

to throw the whole relationship in the bin.

In fact, before the dinner party, I introduced him to my daughter.

Wow. MEL: That's huge.

Seeing the mother she is draws me more towards her

because she's such a good bloody mum.

Her daughter's so freaking beautiful.

She comes up and hugs me, says "Please" and "Thank you".

The mannerism I see is from the upbringing

of what Gia's given her.

I just, I really like her

and I didn't think I could walk in...

I didn't know I was going to come to this experience

and I was going to have a kid, and I fully accept it.

Like, it makes me a bit upset.

No, I want to cry because I love that.

No, because you're a good mum.

Gia, how do you see Scott fitting in with you and your daughter

in your world after the experiment?

Um...

I see it working.

I've never introduced my daughter to a guy before ever.

And I've checked in with my daughter a million times.

It's like, "Do you like him?"

Um, and she's like, "I love Scott dog, Mum. He's so fun".

'Scott dog'?

It's my nickname. She calls him 'Scott dog'.

(ALISSA LAUGHS) So, yeah, he did fit in well.

All my friends and family love him. So...

Wow, that is fantastic to hear.

You've been through a lot this week.

Uh, but we're going to need to go to a decision

to find out whether you want to stay on or not.

Go with you first, Scott.

Well, yeah, it was a really tough week,

but we always we resolve our issues

And... and I like to draw little things

that give memory and feedback from the past week.

So, I put, "Stay with me, Gia"... WOMAN: Oh, that's so cute!

..and a daughter.

That's beautiful.

That's so cute. Oh my god.

What about you, Gia? What have you got for us?

Stay or leave?

Yeah, like we had a big hiccup,

but I think he gets a better understanding of me

through this.

And it's forcing us to have a deeper connection that I wanted.

I didn't want easy surface level.

I really like Scott, and I'm glad we got through this.

So, with that, I'm gonna stay.

(CLAPPING)

MAN: Yee-ooo!

Thank you.

It's lovely.

That's why we have these commitment ceremonies,

to open up your relationship

and to essentially get you looking at things...

sometimes for the first time.

Uh, so that's a very important momen for you tonight.

Well done. You can go back to the group.

Thank you. Thank you so much. Appreciate it.

Good work.

WOMAN: Whoo!

Thanks.

Little stick figures. That's cute. That is so cute.

I don't know how to actually draw, so stick figures is...

Hey, it's cute, but. Thank you.

NARRATOR: Still to come...

David ticks so many boxes

but there's some things that he can't give me.

NARRATOR: Alissa's jaw-dropping confession.

I'm missing that stimulation to make me happy.

NARRATOR: And later...

I am done with this bickering. I'm done with this bullshit.

..Tyson is at breaking point.

I'm done with this experiment.

MEL: Next up on the couch...

Alissa and David.

(APPLAUSE)

Hello.

Hello. Hello. How are ya?

Good evening.

Well, you two are looking rather happy and relaxed.

Yeah. Yeah.

David and I are getting stronger and stronger.

He ticks so many boxes in my life.

He's the calm. He's... He's my home.

But there's some things that he can't give me.

I function at a higher frequency,

and sometimes I feel like I'm missing that stimulation,

that high frequency

that I would normally get from my relationships

to make me happy.

I feel like, Melissa, she's used to past relationships

where the guys are loud up, probably more chaotic.

A lot of noise. I'm calm, not reactive.

Like, I'm not going to, like, cause drama.

And I feel like deep down you might be sort of like, uneasy

because it's not something that's natural to you.

Maybe David's onto something there.

When you were coming into this experiment,

you talked about past relationships and all the arguments that happened.

Yeah, there were a lot.

And, maybe, because you're now in a relationship that is healthier,

that's not full of arguments.

I just wonder if the thing that's missing

is actually the toxicity that comes with drama in a relationship.

Maybe, I'm just not used to it.

Yeah.

I wonder if there's something about sitting in that discomfort,

because there's something about that calm and that peace

that's actually really probably quite good for you.

OK, I'm going to work on it. (CHUCKLES)

We're gonna sit in it. Brilliant.

Alright, well, let's go to the decision.

Let's kick off with you, Alissa.

I'm giving this thing a real crack.

I'm staying for the long haul.

David? I'm gonna stay.

Love it.

Yeah.

Well done, you two.

Sit in the uncertainty.

We're sitting in it for another week.

Well done, you two. Enjoy.

Our next couple on the couch.

Bec and Danny...

(CLAPPING)

Let's do it.

How are we? Hello, you two.

Hello. Hello.

(BOTH EXHALE)

Well, I've got to say, I've been enjoying

glancing over and looking at the two of you tonight.

Looking very cuddly, very relaxed together,

and very supportive of each other.

It's like a whole different view.

Yeah, the realities I got from you guys,

at the last commitment ceremony

showed me that I was in the wrong very, very much.

You don't need to be angry. You don't need to be vicious.

That behaviour is just not acceptable.

Yeah. You've learned some big lessons.

I have.

And then family and friends came along.

We both agreed that in order to get the most out of this,

we had to be very, very honest.

So, I sort of expressed to dad some of the adversities that we faced,

and my father instantly turned to Danny,

looked him in the eye and said, "Did you say she was your type?"

And Danny just looked at him and was just like, "No".

So, I'm moving forward.

So, I really do want to commend you both

for just really putting in the time, the focus and the work...

and having the conversations you needed to have.

So, just kind of highlighting the huge difference it makes

when you actually really do go deep in conversation.

Yeah.

Maybe in past relationships,

that's where I'd be doing the Usain Bolt and sprinting off.

But, yeah, bit down on the gum shield

and sort of fought our way through it, didn't we?

And, yeah, now we're... we're in a really good spot.

So...

I feel the most stable I've felt

in this whole experiment right now.

For sure.

Brilliant. Amazing, amazing.

Let's go to the decision.

Let's start with you, Danny.

Yeah, we're in a really good spot.

So...

nice easy one today.

Thank you.

MEL: Oh, strong statement.

Um, yeah,

I don't think I've felt more secure in this relationship

out of the whole time in this experiment.

So, of course, I wrote 'Stay',

And then I wrote 'Agapi mou' - 'My love' in Greek.

Beautiful.

Thanks, guys.

I think right now you guys are listening to one another...

and I really think that you need to continue focusing on that.

Have a great week.

Thanks you, guys. Thank you. Thanks, guys.

(BEC GRUNTS) (CLAPPING)

DANNY: You OK? BEC: Yeah.

(CLAPPING)

Alright. Let's get our next couple up.

Tyson and Stephanie.

Come on.

(CLAPPING)

Hello.

Well, where do we begin?

You start.

Uh, what about the crash course?

How was that this week for you?

It was interesting. Um, we did the tasks.

Um...

Yeah.

And what about you, Tyson? How was this week for you?

I think for me, it was actually quite good, John.

I, uh, took your advice, John.

So, you said to get curious about Steph.

And I did get curious.

I, uh, I took her to lunch.

I took her to dinner, got her some flowers.

I was feeling a bit cheeky

and saw of a set of flowers there, bought them, gave them to her.

I think she appreciated that. Mm.

And he paid for dinner and he paid for lunch.

I'm the gift that keeps on giving.

Steph, you're sitting on the couch right now,

and you're pretty distant.

So, tell us what's going on for you, Steph?

Um...

Yeah, look, like I do have a few things on my mind.

Like, I won't, I won't lie...

but I'm very conscious of the progress that we have made.

And I'm very conscious that I don't want to unravel all of that.

And I understand that.

But at the same time, what that does then

is it doesn't allow us to understand what's on your mind,

what's getting in between for the two of you.

Because you never know when you discuss it, open it up...

you may be able to resolve it.

Um...

Quite often when I attempt to have a constructive conversation, it...

I feel like it falls on deaf ears. I feel like we go round in circles,

we never come to an agreement. it's always he said, she said.

So, I feel, like, I've started to kind of...

suppress the things that I normally would say

because I can't be bothered to have an argument.

Mm.

ALESSANDRA: It's those difficult conversations

that take so much courage

and are so hard to have that once they're had,

they really bring you closer together.

JOHN: Indeed.

So, let's just talk about this and navigate it together as a team.

Tell us what are the key issues that you want to bring up?

Um...

I just want Tyson to be a bit more aware

of, like the things that he says and the impact that the words have.

Um...

Two of my closest friends are gay.

We've got Chris and Sam in the experiment...

and something that came from Tyson's...

video interview was...

um, "I'm happy for you guys. Be whoever you want to be.

"But, you know, you just keep it behind closed doors".

Oh, brother.

Something that came from Tyson's video interview was...

um, "I'm happy for you guys. Be whoever you want to be.

"But, you know, you just keep it behind closed doors".

Oh, brother.

First of all, I'm not against gay people.

I just feel like that whole topic can... can really be pushed on us.

Um, and, I don't know, just for me,

I come from a traditional family

and it's just, I'm not really comfortable

with, like... with it.

I'm just being brutally... brutally honest.

Sorry, man. Having awareness is not pushing anything on you.

Like just being here. Like...

But I'm aware, though.

We're just... we're just here.

CHRIS: It is hurtful to our community to hear that.

Um, it's like us telling straight people

to go do it behind closed doors. It's not right.

I don't think you have much empathy

and you're not really putting yourself in anyone else's shoes.

You can't say stuff like, "Do it behind closed doors" .

Like it just doesn't make me feel like a person.

Well, no, not that I don't know. It's just...

Maybe it came out wrong. I don't I didn't mean it to...

The comment you made suppresses people,

and therefore we feel like we need to stand up and create awareness.

And until that stops happening, there will be pride,

all these things will still happen

because we're still getting suppressed all the time.

And you're an example of that it still exists out there.

I don't mean to come here and offend people.

Um, but you know,

I am very black and white with my approach to communication.

Have you always been this way?

Where you, essentially, don't have a filter and you just...

you know, say exactly what comes to your mind.

So, there is a filter there, John.

But I just I've got to be honest as well with what I believe in.

And that's fine.

But I just want Tyson

to be a bit more aware of, like, words have impact.

Like, again,

like the submissive thing still rings in my mind.

Oh, my god.

Having said that in ages. But anyway.

Well, a dinner party last night, but OK, let's keep going forward.

Um, you know, I stand by that that is what Tyson wants.

He wants a wife to sit down, look pretty, speak when spoken to...

don't have an opinion unless you're asked.

Not true.

True. I completely disagree.

Um, he's only addressed you tonight, John. Have you noticed that?

I actually said tonight,

Alexandra is looking beautiful.

So, what... where... I don't understand.

Last week he said, "Oh that. Johnny.

"He's a great bloke, isn't he?

"He's a great bloke".

And I said, "Oh, what about Mel and Alessandra"?

"Oh, yeah. But, you know, John". La la la.

So, you're very easily disrespect women, Tyson.

You have no regard for my feelings. I do not.

And sorry, I'm not going to take that shit

because I don't disrespect women at all.

I've got a lot of respect for women.

But right now--

Look how you fly off the handle so easily.

Because it's disgusting.

She's putting words in my mouth saying I disrespect women

just because I said John's a good guy.

You do. It's how I feel.

I did not say anything bad about you guys at all.

And I actually said, you look beautiful tonight.

Like she's making out, I hate... I hate women,

and that's absolutely such a disgusting thing to say.

I'm very close with my sister and my mum.

There are two people that mean the world to me.

But I just feel like she's putting words in my mouth.

She's trying to make me look like this bad person,

but I'm actually not.

I don't hate gay people.

She's making out I hate gay people...

No, I'm not. ..hate gay people bad.

But I don't hate gay people. I did not say that.

I do like gay people. I've got gay friends, I do.

I like women as well.

The thing is, I'm not a bad guy and she's portraying me as a bad guy.

No.

I try to have a constructive conversation with you

and it always ends up this way

when I just want to have, like, a chill conversation

and share my point of view.

But that's never OK with you.

Well, I disagree.

I feel like any time things get hard,

Tyson's just like,

"Alright, well that's me, I'm (BLEEP) out of here".

I feel like it's Tyson's way or the highway.

And honestly,

I do not see a future here with this person at all.

And quite frankly, after tonight, I'm going back to the Gold Coast...

because I'm done with this.

I'm done with this bickering. I'm done with this bullshit.

I'm done with this experiment.

I feel like it's Tyson's way or the highway.

Honestly, I do not see a future here with this person at all.

And quite frankly, after tonight, I'm going back to the Gold Coast...

because I'm done with this.

I'm done with this bickering. I'm done with this bullshit.

I'm done with this experiment.

There's nothing here between Steph and I.

She's not a traditional wife in my eyes.

She's... She's a go-getter, which is great, but...

I don't like her attitude towards me.

She's always acting snobby.

I do not see a future there, John, I really don't.

This whole conversation just blew out of proportion,

which it shouldn't have, but it did.

And, um, there's no fixing this, John, for me

I don't know how it blew out of proportion, though,

because all you're doing

you know, was bringing up some of your worries

about a relationship. Yeah.

Yeah, essentially over language and that's it.

That's normal...

couple dynamics.

This is not about personality attacks.

It's just talking about problem patterns.

And what we've identified tonight and previously

is that sometimes the language that you use...

can be polarising.

It can hurt.

But it is certainly something that you can work with.

No, I do agree in that regard.

So, what's happened tonight that's changed your mind?

Well, just everything, John-- I can tell you.

I opened my mouth.

Oh, come on.

We bicker when I speak up and share my opinion.

And you don't like it?

So, am I supposed to be quiet?

Am I supposed to be quiet?

I'm seriously just going to bounce

because I just don't want to be here, guys.

I'm finished, OK?

I'm just...

Tyson, don't do it.

You look... You're a beautiful bunch of people

and I think Steph's a beautiful girl as well.

It's just, I'm finished. OK?

ALISSA: You've given it two weeks.

Like, given it such a short amount of time.

Like, come on.

I really do wish you guys all the best.

I'm not a bad person.

You have really strong views,

and I'm just giving my really strong views back to you.

And if that's enough to make you leave.

Yeah. See you, guys.

(SNIFFLES)

I've just shared how I felt...

and as I opened my as I opened my mouth, now he's (BLEEP) gone.

He's just a child.

And just so disappointed.

(SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY)

Thanks, guys.

JOHN: Thank you, Steph.

ALESSANDRA: Thank you, Steph.

ALISSA: Darl.

You're amazing.

STELLA: You just need a more mature, man. That's all.

Yeah. You're amazing. Yeah.

STELLA: A mature man will come in and whoop you off your feet. OK?

(CHATTER)

Oh, come on, everybody, let's all pile in!

Ah!

NARRATOR: Tomorrow night...

FILIP: It's hard to say things like this.

I definitely haven't been one

to kind of lean into my feelings of emotions.

Alessandra had a had a good point. Yeah?

Why can't you just verbalise it to each other, you know?

NARRATOR: Well, Filip finally say those magic words

that Stella's been dying to hear?

NARRATOR: And then...

Yeah!

..it's time for the annual couples retreat.

Whee!

Whoo! Yay!

WOMAN: Very, very content right now.

How good is this?

NARRATOR: Our newlyweds are loving the brand new location...

# Let's get away... #

..and the happy couples are all singing 'Kumbaya'.

I feel like the good vibes quite nice.

Ladies and gentlemen,

can I have you guys over here, please?

NARRATOR: Until...

It's the first night of retreat we've had (BLEEP).

..one bad joke...

WOMAN: I just want to leave.

..sends the retreat into meltdown.

Stop!

You called her a liar! I'm not being manipulated by you.

NARRATOR: What is the punchline...

Guys, guys.

..that will break bonds...

She is a liar.

I'm so sick of this.

..and derail the course of the experiment...

Get me out of here!

..forever?

(SOBBING) Made me feel like a piece of shit.
