Original subtitles

NARRATOR: At the final commitment ceremony... I have to leave. Leave.

..Sam and Chris went their separate ways.

He's moving in. Oh, that's a plan.

Stella and Filip announced their exciting news.

You've come up with a plan, and now you're on the same track.

Because I want this relationship to work.

Can I just say, Stevo, you've got a bit of a swagger.

A positive homestay saw Steven's confidence grow.

It's changed the relationship in many ways.

As he and a loved up Rachel revelled in their remarkable progress.

I feel like I can see myself falling in love with Rachel.

Stay. Despite both agreeing to go to final vows, Bec pleaded with

Danny for a stronger commitment.

I need you to give me half of what I'm giving you, at least.

What I'm seeing here is fake.

You're petrified of Gia, and you're not answering the questions.

Scott finally came clean on the crisis in his marriage.

I feel like there's a bit of pressure for me to say I'm in love,

and when I don't say it, Gia will tend to say things like,

"You're not a man, you're not a provider."

Pretty much every name under the sun.

But Gia...

And then... Do you feel like you're enough for Alissa?

It was the shock confession that no-one saw coming.

You did mention I was a weak man.

She called you a weak man?

Yeah.

So that's a problem.

It's the early hours of the morning after the final commitment ceremony

of the experiment.

And one of our strongest couples is wide awake.

Um...

Ah.

David's decision last night to open up about his marital concerns

hasn't landed well with wife, Alissa

How are you feeling?

I know last night was a lot.

Obviously, I know you're upset, but, you know, I...

I was right this whole time.

Something was missing.

I feel like you have been holding back certain things,

and we haven't been challenging each other.

And then last night, on the couch, you blindsided me!

You've been bottling up stuff, and you haven't spoken about

your needs, how you feel,

for the last eight weeks.

And I'm just like, do I even know this person?

I'm not in a good frame of mind right now

with this whole relationship, like, I'm feeling just blindsided.

Last night is a build up of things

that I gave him so many opportunities

to chat about, all in this apartment, you know, day to day.

And he hasn't spoken.

He's brushed it all under the carpet.

I challenge you all the time, but I feel like

you don't challenge me back.

And it was just...

I want to hear you. I want to, I want to know your thoughts.

I feel like we've missed the mark.

We could have been having productive conversations.

We could have been, you know, talking about deeper things.

It's always, "Yes, darling. Yes, darling."

And that's not strong.

I need a strong man.

You know... Babe! I...

This is, like, scary.

We're about to go into final vows.

We're about to go into the real world, babe.

Since the commitment ceremony, it has been very intense.

Probably the tensest I've felt in my relationship with Alissa so far.

I got to speak my honest truth.

And that's the outpouring that happened on the couch.

But I didn't mean to hurt her.

I just want to have a voice.

I didn't come from a place of wanting to throw you under the bus,

and I acknowledge that it...

But it doesn't even matter. I was just blindsided. I was just...

Like you rightfully said, you felt blindsided.

Because you don't talk to me.

And for me... You don't talk to me.

No, no... You could have talked to me. I just...

To me, it doesn't make sense.

I've got a lot to say. I've got a lot to say.

There's multiple times...

I never, ever, like, tread on you.

..you know, where I've honestly felt that I was shot down.

You know what else really upset me?

You've never spoken to me about those things.

Let me just... And then you didn't speak up.

From the bottom of my heart. And where I failed...

Why don't you speak up?

You need to speak up, you have a voice. You have needs.

But right now, I'm just, I am so, so, like, just devastated

because I'm feeling like this is just shit

to end this experiment like this.

And I understand how you feel that I've swept things under the rug

sometimes because I didn't want to upset, and it didn't come from

a place of me not wanting...

It's because I want this more than ever.

And I know that I have shot myself in the foot, but I want to fight

for us and I want to move as a team.

I want to be strong with you, and I have gone

about it the wrong way.

Oh...

I'm just. I just need a minute.

I just need a minute.

I just need a minute.

I just need a minute.

It's the final week of the 2026 Married at First Sight

experiment, and with the last commitment ceremony behind them

and final vows just days away,

the experiment's most tumultuous couple have decided to put their

best foot forward and have turned over a new leaf.

Jules!

Love you. Love you.

(BLEEP) these men, man.

Literally, (BLEEP) 'em.

Should we have a seat? Bec and I have had our differences

in this experiment.

We've hated each other, loved each other, hated each other.

It's been like a back and forth.

But I feel like right now, we relate to each other

more than we ever have.

Seeing her couch sessions, like preach!

Both of us feel like we're in love with these men

and we're not getting the same back.

I mean, last night, Scott threw me under the bus.

He said, "You've called me every name under the sun."

So I saw her in the elevator.

I feel like it was the universe being like, 'You guys should talk.'

Had a couple of wines.

Forgetting about the men for a bit.

We're on the same page.

We've got these men who are boys.

Sorry, I'm gonna say it.

They're acting like boys. Yep.

Gia and I have come together today because

after last night's commitment ceremony,

Gia and I both feel underappreciated by our husbands.

We may have had beef in the past, but when it comes down to it,

women need to support women.

Cheers. To us. Cheers, babe.

To the women in this experiment and these half-arsed men.

Meanwhile, back at the apartments...

No, haven't spoken to her. How's that a (BLEEP) relationship?

Gia has left husband, Scott, in the dark about her whereabouts.

So last night at the commitment ceremony,

I felt like I had my piece.

I got to finally speak on how I feel.

And then I knew what was going to happen after.

As soon as I come home,

I sat on the bed and she started saying to me,

"Why did you throw me under the bus?"

Why this? Why that?

And then she says, "I don't trust you."

And then I woke up...

She went and got coffee for me for the first time. I said thank you,

and then we haven't spoken since.

She's just gone walking.

I want to fix our relationship.

I want it to work because I adore her so much.

But she can't accept a commitment ceremony.

She can't accept feedback and she's constantly walking out

on a tough situation.

How am I supposed to fall in love with someone that wants to run away?

BEC: What's going on with Scott? Um...

It's a train wreck, to be honest.

Yeah. So obviously, commitment ceremony last night

was a bit (BLEEP). He kind of threw me under the bus.

He threw you under the bus, yeah.

He held my hand and walked me into the lion's den.

And he says he's on eggshells.

He exaggerated a lot last night.

Some of the things he said.

I haven't heard any of this 'til now.

I'm so confused because there's so many opportunities

for him to bring that up. And he hasn't.

He's being a pussy.

Yeah.

Do you know what? We lay our souls out on the table.

Right. You told him you loved him.

I told Danny that I love him.

They haven't said it back.

And this is the thing, with Scott in particular,

he's like, 'Oh, well, when we have an argument, it pushes me back.'

Or when we have this...

Sorry for having an opinion.

You want a robot.

We cook, we clean, we look after our men.

Yeah. But I expect my man to be there looking after me.

Adoring me. Right?

And I've never said anything about Daniel and our sex life, right?

But, like, once a week isn't something that I'm into.

I'm, like, five times a week.

But, like, you don't want to be intimate with me.

You're not into me.

As Bec and Gia continue to show each other support,

Bec's husband, Danny, has also been spending the day alone.

I got up this morning and went to the gym.

When I got back, the bed was empty and Bec was gone.

I phoned her straight away just to check that she was OK,

because obviously last night was a rough night, and I got a message

and she said she was at the pub with Gia.

It actually blows my mind.

Obviously it's been a lot of animosity between Bec and Gia.

It is mind boggling, to be honest.

You're going to turn around to someone who's lied about you,

who's involved in all the drama, who's lied about me in the past.

I can't even wrap my head around that.

You know, I woke up really positive, in a good mood, and I wanted to try

and take our relationship to a better spot

and try and, you know, really do

what the experts had told me.

But it's impossible, when your partner's in the pub with Gia.

Do you know what? These men are little bitches.

I'm sorry. They're intimidated by strong women.

Yeah.

David's like, (HIGH-PITCHED) "I haven't had a voice,

"I can't speak. Alissa's so scary." Yeah.

Daniel, (HIGH-PITCHED) "I'm like this."

Scott, "I feel like I'm walking on eggshells.

I can't do this." Scott, shut up.

What? You're intimidated by strong women?

Is that what it is?

Are you weak men?

You know what? I just really want this to work.

And it frustrates me because I just feel like it can be fixable.

We are a good couple.

We are actually really good, when we're good.

But the fact we can't get through this part, I feel like

for the first time, she's fallen for someone quicker than the other

person and she doesn't like it, so she doesn't know how to respond.

So her response is to defend herself and attack me.

I wish I could just speak to her right now and I just can't because

who knows where she's gone?

I feel like we are 100% giving everything

and all to these relationships.

I feel like we both put our hearts on the line.

We've said we love them.

And I feel like these men are not giving it back.

And I'm sorry, I'm going to sit here and say it...

Danny's not that hot. He looks like a frog.

(BLEEP) Scott's not that hot. He's got a pointy nose.

Brother, why do you think that you're that hot?

We've both told these men that we love them. Subpar men.

You should be so lucky that you have a woman like me

and a woman like Gia wanting to love you. Do you know what?

Find another person like us, I dare you. Yeah.

Good luck. We both love these men.

We don't feel the same energy is being reciprocated.

And we're feeling like this,

I don't know, this feeling of, like, not being good enough.

And it's very hard.

Like, how are we supposed to go into final vows with this uncertainty?

At the end of the day, we're just two women wanting love.

Yeah.

And right now, we're in a situation where both of our husbands are duds.

But we found each other.

I'm actually glad this has happened. Cheers.

Me too. Cheers, babes. Mwah!

Tonight...

What is going on here? Chenelle?

Shannon? Oh, no.

What?

James. Anthony! What?

During the matchmaking process, there was more than one person

that our participants were compatible with.

The unforgettable final test is back Oh my god!

It is the ultimate test of trust and security.

And this season, the experts have upped the ante like never before.

We are removing the element of choice from the final test.

Over two incredible nights...

I feel sick. I feel like I'm going to pass out.

..all our participants will meet their alternative matches.

Some will more than enjoy the fresh perspective.

Before...the biggest twist the experiment's ever seen.

Is the grass greener?

Are you serious?

That is disgusting.

Holy (BLEEP)!

NARRATOR: Our couples are one mornin closer to the final vows.

But for groom, Scott, a future with Gia is looking less than bright,

as last night, he chose to sleep in a separate apartment

for the very first time in the experiment.

I just needed to clear my head because I'm pretty...

..not in a good space at the moment.

Yesterday, Gia just disappeared.

Later on, I received a phone call.

Gia said to me she's gone to the pub alone.

But in the background, I could hear Bec

calling me some pretty nasty names.

I don't even know what to say.

Bec is the last person I would expect her to see.

For this whole experiment,

Bec has completely, you know, thrown Gia under the bus. She's used her.

She's manipulated her.

That's not a friend.

I wanted to fix our relationship, but instead,

I found out Gia was with Bec.

Like, that makes me feel defeated. Like you don't care.

How are you this morning?

How are you?

Mm.

Um, I've been better, I don't know.

I feel like after we spoke yesterday, um, you know,

I said I needed space and I, like, went for a walk and all that.

That was it. I just did my own thing.

Gia...

You were at the pub with Bec.

This is the thing, Gia.

When I was at the gym, you called me and said, we need to have a chat.

And I said, "Who are you with?" You said, "No one."

I heard Bec! You lied to me.

I (BLEEP) heard her.

So, I did. I went and had a drink.

Sometimes I want to have a glass of wine and I feel like

I can't around you, because you don't like girls that drink

and you don't like...

I never said I don't like girls that drink.

You don't, you don't like it.

I know you don't like it.

I don't care if you drink.

So anyways, I, that's what I did yesterday. OK?

Yeah, I let loose yesterday.

I felt like I had a lot of things bottled up

that I needed to let go of.

So sue me for being emotional.

Bec, out of all people, is the last person that I want

my wife hanging out with.

I don't believe anything she says.

I don't trust her, and I've stuck by that this whole time

because of what she's done to you.

Because I care about you.

I just don't understand why out of all people, her, when like...

Yeah, I understand that it's confusing and...

She's the worst person to hang out with in this situation.

But I have no friends left in this experiment.

Chris left yesterday.

We weren't good and I...

I was really upset.

She was upset.

So yeah, it was a perfect opportunity, to be honest.

She was (BLEEP), I was (BLEEP). Let's have a drink.

We didn't even really talk about you guys.

To be honest, I feel like you just want me to look bad all the time.

Oh my god, I just...

I want you to understand.

What happened yesterday does not make me feel good.

Gia, please. Gia, listen to me.

I want to let this out on the table because I want a resolution here.

Last night, I was on tipping point.

I didn't want to be here anymore.

I literally wanted to leave.

Why didn't you?

Because I (BLEEP) was starting to get emotional.

I want to be with you and I want to sort it out.

And I want to know what the (BLEEP) going on.

Like, I just don't understand, I just...

Just not worth running away, when I know that we can fix it.

I want to fall in love with you.

But then these spirals happen and I don't know what to do.

It really hurts me to see Scott upset like that.

He is really hurting and I don't like seeing him like that.

And I don't want to be the cause of it either.

Like, I know it's bad.

Like...I understand what I've done and the things that I do

that you don't like the spiralling and running away.

I understand, like, it's not OK.

I understand that. I'm really sorry.

I have accepted your apology before,

and I'm accepting your apology again.

I want this to work. I want to be with you.

I want to leave this experiment with you.

But I'm not going to have this happen

again and again and again and again.

I don't want it to happen any more

because this is my last time I'm going to try.

This morning...

Bec is feeling regretful after yesterday's emotionally charged

catch-up with new friend, Gia.

I feel...just a bit shit.

I was mean yesterday about Daniel.

I think I called, I called him a couple of names in my anger.

So let's hope that doesn't come out, but...

Yeah, I was hurt and disappointed,

and I'm in self-protection mode here.

I'm trying to push him away.

I'm trying to detach because the fear of rejection is such a big one.

But he's coming here today with a coffee for me and wanting to

sort this out, which is good.

Look, I just want to say that, like, I don't really think

yesterday was too constructive for our relationship, but I don't

want to dwell on the past.

That's in the past.

I want to focus on the future and try and do what the experts

told me on the sofa, and try and show you that, you know,

I'm trying to be that man for you.

But with that being said, you've got to let me do it, Bec.

I know.

But I don't want to fight with you.

I don't want to fight with you either.

You know you're so special to me, but you've got to...

You've got to let me prove it.

He does have a point.

I do need to let him show me that he's taken on board

the expert's advice and stuff.

On that note, give me a hug.

And I hear it, I hear it, I, you know, receive it,

but I need to see it.

(INDISTINCT, MUFFLED SPEECH)

There's two sides to Bec, one side of her's almost perfect.

And the other side of her is... is almost impossible.

So when she's like that, it's so easy to talk to her.

We can solve problems like that.

It's just a breeze.

But if Bec pushes me away, then I can't be a better husband.

I can't do what the experts said.

It takes two to tango.

So, onwards and upwards.

Our couples are enjoying their last days together

in the experiment.

And with the end of the 2026 Married at First Sight experiment in sight..

I just realised, we need to stop buying food. We're moving out.

..and final vows around the corner,

our couples have a life-changing decision to make on whether or not

they will continue their relationshi outside of the experiment.

Yeah, I can't believe it. It's like, what, in five...

Yeah, five days it'll be done. We're out.

It's exciting, isn't it?

Um, we have the plan, thoughts, actions to move in together.

Like, for us, this is it, at the end of the day.

So we are in a good place, big time.

I had a look through the cupboards. Are you going to be able to

fit all your stuff? Nope. OK.

And to help them with their decision the experts have

delivered the final task.

God damn.

I'm not in the mood for one of these.

It's the envelope fairies.

Manifesting, like, trip, passports.

Uh, Las Vegas.

Ah...

OK.

"Stella and Filip, as you reach the final week of experiment,

"there's a lot to reflect on.

"Some big decisions to make about your future together

"beyond the experiment." Whoa.

"With final vows fast approaching, it's crucial that you really

"think about what you want, what you need, and whether this

elationship can go the distance."

"Stella, you will be heading off to meet with the other brides."

Oh! "And Filip, you will be meeting

with other grooms in the experiment."

Oh, yeah!

"This group task won't be easy.

"It may be confronting, but it's designed to push you outside

"your comfort zone and force you to ask yourself the hard questions."

"Use this opportunity to gain clarity before making one of

the biggest decisions of your life. The experts!"

There you go. No, no nothing else?

No.

And it might be confronting.

That's always what you want to see in a letter.

Ah, gotta love those, uh, mid-morning

knocks at the door.

Do I need to put a button up shirt on?

Is it one of those events?

I don't know, honey.

I don't know what to expect with this one.

Yeah. It's very vague.

We have a letter with words on it.

Um, I'm gonna go see the boys.

Rachel's gonna see the girls, and it might be confronting.

Do you think we're going to the pub?

Um...

That's confronting sometimes. The chicken schnitzel

might be overcooked. That's confronting.

It's like a girls day, boys day, situation.

I mean, good luck.

No, no, no. Not me.

Me. You!

Bring something. Bring all the sage cleanse.

Honestly, I've got zero doubt coming into this task.

I don't think that anything could throw me

in any possible way. Stella and I are feeling very secure.

But I think if you're feeling insecure right now,

like, it's, it'd be tough.

I'm not going to lie. My mood's just shattered today.

I feel very tense.

It's the last test before the end of the experiment.

And Alissa and I, right now, I don't think it's the way

a relationship should be.

It feels scary.

At the end of the day, I don't even know what the task is.

Who knows what's going to happen?

This year, our five remaining wives and five remaining husbands

will attend their own group lunches.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Yes, yes we are.

I love this for us.

Last year was the first time we ever introduced the final test.

This task was pivotal in helping our couples know exactly where

they stood in their marriage.

Right at the crucial time before our couples head off to final vows.

We all need this today, right?

Good times ahead.

Oh, gosh.

Let's go, boys.

As experts, we are always looking to raise the stakes in this experiment.

(CHEERS)

I haven't got enough money to be here.

And this year might see our most radical change yet.

We are removing the element of choice from the final test.

This is epic!

Oh my gosh! (EXCITED CHATTER)

Oh my god, there's so much food.

During the matchmaking process,

there was more than one person that our participants

were compatible with.

Hey, there's a lot of chairs here, though.

Yeah, there's ten chairs.

This has the potential to strengthen relationships, or tear them apart.

Oh, no.

Oh, no!

Chenelle!

No! Oh, you're kidding.

Oh, no!

Shannon.

Shannon.

What is going on here?

It is the ultimate test of trust and security.

James.

Anthony! What?

What the (BLEEP)!

Oh my god.

Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god. Oh my...

NARRATOR: Our brides and grooms have arrived to the final test.

This is epic! Oh my gosh.

A task set by the experts to see how strong their relationships are.

Hey, there's a lot of chairs here, though.

But they've just discovered there'll be guests in attendance.

Oh, no.

It's ten chairs.

James. Anthony! What? Oh my god, what the (BLEEP)!

Ladies!

Let me read the card.

Let me read the card.

"Ladies, as you can see, there are some empty seats at the table.

"Those seats are reserved for some very special guests, handpicked

"by us, from thousands of people who applied for this experiment."

This is wild.

"They have been invited today

"because during the matchmaking process,

we considered more than one match for you."

"Today, as a group,

"you will be meeting with your alternative matches."

(ALL EXCLAIM)

This is not...

Oh, dear god.

"By now, you should all have awareness of how you are compatible

"with your current match.

"But perhaps you have been having some doubts and have

noticed some incompatibilities."

I feel sick.

"This is your opportunity to ask yourself,

is the grass greener on the other side?"

That's heavy.

For this final task, they have the opportunity to meet with

another prospective match.

In everyday life, they will all be in situations where

they are faced with people who may be compatible with them.

In this real world scenario, will they be respectful of their partner

or do they lean in and cross a line?

Honestly, I don't want to do it, to be honest.

I don't want to do this.

Nuh, nuh.

Even though we're rocky right now,

I wouldn't be doing this.

I don't want to be here.

I'm not here for anyone else.

I'm here for Alissa.

And right now, the only thing I can think about is working

through our issues, rather than catching up with someone

that could have been a potential match.

I'm in a relationship, so I don't want to see other options

or who could have been paired with me,

so I find it absolutely ridiculous.

My thought was straight away, 'I can't do this.'

'I don't want to do this.'

I instantly felt sick, considering the fact I'm, like, trying to fix

one little bump with my and Gia's relationship.

It's the last thing I want to do.

My point of view on it is, boys, in the normal world, if you went

and met up with a woman and you didn't tell your wife,

obviously you've got a big dilemma.

Like, that's cheating.

But this is a task on an experiment.

I think the way we should look at it as men today is we talk to

the girls about our relationships and just tell them about

our wives and get some feedback.

None of us are here to cheat.

I'm not looking at it as another option. (BLEEP) no.

I'm not gonna lie. The task is confronting.

I'm so invested in Rachel.

I feel like we're so secure.

But I'm thinking I don't want another curve ball,

especially in this stage of the experiment.

All right, we're all in?

Cheer up. (BLEEP). No-one's died, mate.

Let's sit down. Relax.

It's a business meeting.

It's a business meeting.

It was uncomfortable. Like, my moral compass was telling me

I don't even want to sit there.

I'm very, very happy with Stella, and I just didn't

want to entertain it.

NARRATOR: While the final task cause tension amongst the boys...

..across town at the girls' lunch,

it's a very different mood.

Is the grass greener?

I would have dressed cuter.

I look like shit.

Anyone got lip gloss?

Can I borrow your lip gloss, please?

We were relaxed.

Like, we are independent, loud, amazing women, but few of us feel

underappreciated by our husbands.

I don't want to do this at all.

We love them. We do everything.

And I hope this task kicks their arses into gear, man.

There's other bastards that want us.

Holy shit!

My immediate emotion was, like, yeah, bring it on.

Like, the world is full of bloody hot people.

But Filip has nothing to worry about, ever.

Like, if I'm with him, I'm with him.

Wow. They're going to be sitting right now with women.

I cannot believe this.

I cannot believe this.

I am... Do you know what I'm so happy about? Let me tell you.

Let me tell you what Danny wore today.

He wore the ugliest shirt!

(LAUGHTER)

I'm fighting literally every urge to, like, run away right now.

They're all sitting there with these girls, and they're probably like...

All I can think about is him going and meeting another woman.

He could have had a goddess walk through the door.

I just don't know. It scares me.

It really scares me.

We haven't done all this work and progressed our relationship

in a beautiful way, to be here.

This is the worst day for this to happen. We're not good.

What if she's like, an 11 out of 10 supermodel?

What if Scott gets another Barbie doll with fake tits

who doesn't drink and doesn't swear?

Oh!

(BLEEP) God forbid!

And if they ask about how it's going...

Just say, "I'm happy with my relationship."

Oh, for (BLEEP) sake.

Oh, (BLEEP).

Hi!

Which one of you is is Filip?

I'm Shannon. I've come here to meet Filip.

I'm curious to see who the experts think I would be matched with.

Shannon, nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. How you going?

I'm hoping to meet someone that I'm compatible with.

David. Hey, what's up?

I'm Crystal, and I'm here to meet David. How are you?

I'm coming here with an open heart.

I've been single for almost two and a half years,

and the dating pool is (BLEEP) slim.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but it's actually slim.

So lovely to meet you. Likewise.

My name's Stephanie, and I'm here to meet Steven.

Apparently, you know, we could have been a match,

so I'm quite interested to see what things we have in common.

Hi, Chenelle. How are you? Come and sit down.

I'm Chenelle. My match is Danny.

I'm hoping to potentially meet my future husband, to be honest.

Um, but also not here to be a homewrecker.

I'm Laura. I'm here to meet Scott. Hello, Scott.

How you going? How are you?

I'm looking for love, like everyone else.

And I'm hoping he's my future husband.

How are we?

How is everyone?

Yeah, good.

I feel sick, I feel like I'm going to pass out.

Like, that's how sick I felt.

It's very crazy how this has come about.

Yeah, I know, it's wild.

Yeah.

I don't want to be disrespectful to them, but I'm not here

for my potential match.

I met my match and I'm willing to follow through

with what I currently have.

I felt so damn sick.

I'm so into Gia and I don't need to see if there's another match.

Like, my relationship is so important to me right now.

I want to focus on that and nothing else.

I need to go to the bathroom.

Where's the toilet?

Um...

David...

You know, it's lovely to meet you, but I don't feel like I can engage.

You know what I'm saying?

But it was lovely to meet you.

I'm gonna just exit. OK.

Yep, so has mine.

My guy's, like, straight away, "I'm out."

Like, bye. Yeah.

I know Alissa is very strong minded, and I'm hoping that

in this task, she chose not to engage and that's all I can say.

Hey.

Welcome! How are we all?

Hi. A guy out there told me I could find my future wife.

And her name's Alissa.

Welcome, Conor.

How are you? Nice to meet you.

Oh, he's a hugger.

That's cute. I feel like the boys would be panicking right now.

I'm here for my girl, Stella.

I'm here.

Sit down, Anthony.

There's some nice guys that walked in. Welcome!

Hello, hello. Rachel.

Hi. How you doing? Ignatius.

The experts definitely knew that this

was going to be a massive curve ball.

There's one girl I'm looking for, and that is Bec.

Me, how are you? You look amazing. My name's Taylor.

Because half the girls at the table,

their relationships are in (BLEEP) crisis.

Hey, what's happening?

James.

Oh my god.

Nice to meet ya. Oh, no?

Handshake.

How are you? I'm very good, yourself? All right.

I think David would be shitting himself,

knowing that I am out on a date.

Yeah, wow, OK. He would be shitting his pants, yeah.

Yes.

Talk to me. How old are you?

31. OK.

Why do I always get the young ones? I like it.

(LAUGHTER)

NARRATOR: Coming up...

Is this the most awkward dinner party ever?

The final test results...

I'm like, yes.

..are set to shock...

Yeah.

NARRATOR: The final test has begun for our brides and grooms,

and they're settling in for a lunch with their alternative matches.

Honestly, all of the attention on them is going to be

their favourite thing ever. Our men are gonna love it.

Women on them, they're gonna love it.

But grooms David and Scott have chosen to remove themselves

and have found a private spot to collect their thoughts.

Are your friends coming back?

They really, like, smoke bombs.

I'm actually a bit disappointed with the boys because we did

say as men, let's all sit here and do it together.

Or let's all leave together.

The boys could have, like sat and had like, well, we're just

having a friendly conversation.

It doesn't have to be flirty.

STEVEN: I turn around and half the table is empty.

I'm thinking, oh shit, this is awkward.

Look, I can, I can relate to their concern.

Scott and David's relationship, it's bleak.

And they don't want it, you know, to make it worse.

All Scott did was just voice his opinion at the commitment ceremony.

And Gia did not like that at all.

John, the expert, got it in one.

Scott, you're petrified.

No, but I think as well, it would be constructive for us to get

some feedback from the girls. Have a chat,

be respectful. They'd give us good advice.

To leave the table was one thing, but hiding together in a toilet...

I can't!

That's the...

Hiding together in a toilet.

50 years ago, men used to die in trenches.

Men were dying in trenches.

Now we have men hiding in toilets

because they're scared to talk to a woman!

(BLEEP) hell! I've never seen such cowards in all my life.

While Scott and David continue to take a break

from the final test, their alternative matches,

Laura and Crystal, are making a connection of their own.

At least we're together. Yeah, I know.

I'm gonna come and sit with you. Come on.

Give me his card.

No, I'm serious, but, like, this is the thing.

They're not coming back. No, don't come back.

No. I threw his name tag on the ground. That's where he belongs.

Whatever. Like, I understand you're in a committed

relationship, but, like, mate, I could be your potential match.

Are you gonna walk out on me like that? You know what I mean?

I'm Crystal Diaz, I'm 32.

What are you looking for?

I'm looking for, like, medium to tall height.

Fit body, but soft and super kind at the same time.

My background is Filipino.

With a dash of Spanish. A dash of Spanish?

Yeah, I like to call it the 'Chil-apino' side.

Oh, come on, it's in our blood.

It's just like, I feel like we're so loving and passionate.

And so when we get fired up, like, we get fired up.

Do you know what? I'm sorry, but anyone can walk out

but have the decency to have that conversation because at the end of

the day, if you sit down and have that conversation, it doesn't mean

you're cheating on your partner or you're doing the wrong thing.

I just think you know what you're signing up for.

It's an experiment.

I think it's very disrespectful to you girls.

The moment someone puts... Anyone, when you put this up...

He put his hand in your face to say, I'm married?

It's a projection. There's an insecurity there that lies

beneath why you would do that. You're generally not happy.

If you were truly happy in your relationship,

you can talk to a woman.

I feel like if your partner's going to be that upset that you're talking

to another woman, that's a problem.

It's...

Is this the most awkward dinner party ever?

NARRATOR: While the task causes division between the grooms...

Across the city...

What's your star sign?

Sagittarius.

..Alissa is taking the final test in her stride.

I'm an Aries, so I'm fire.

What's your, um, husband's star sign?

Um, he is a Libra.

Heard terrible things about Libras.

My name's Conor Loughnan.

I'm 30...or turning 32 at the end of the year.

I'm a track and field sprinter.

So 100m and 200m.

I'm currently second fastest in Australia for beach sprinting.

Obviously somebody, like, sporty, motivated

and then also...

Usually I just start yapping away and talking shit.

So the ones who give it back, I'm just like, yeah, we're on.

Like, I like you.

So yeah, what do you do? Talk to me.

So I'm a sprinter - 100 metre and 200 metre.

So yeah, I run in straight lines for fun.

So yeah. The goal is the Comm Games and Olympics.

Nice. Wow, OK. For work, I've got two companies.

One's a gym and the other is NDIS disability support.

Oh.

I need to provide for my future wife.

It was just funny meeting Conor

because he's very different to David.

That's cute.

He's louder and he's got a lot to say.

Adrenaline junkie since birth.

That's why I don't know how I ended up in this sport,

where it's literally the most least exciting sport.

Yeah. I couldn't, I can't just do like the one job.

That's why I do, like, the gym, got, like, NDIS, disability support.

You talk a lot, don't you? Yeah.

Are you ADHD too?

Yeah. I was trying to hold it back at the start,

so I seemed normal. But yeah.

I feel like you talk a lot as well though. You talk a lot as well.

Oh, I don't shut up.

I get sick and tired of hearing my own voice

in my apartment because my...

No, because my husband, my husband, he's a man of

few words, at times.

He doesn't talk as much as me.

He's very quiet, so I get a bit bored.

I talk a lot, but, like, I let my husband talk.

Do I let him? I let him (BLEEP) talk.

Yeah. I feel like you are very different to him.

Yeah, yeah, that sounds like it.

You're opposites. Yeah.

Hopefully it's not a bad thing.

Yeah, he's gonna hate it that I'm here with another man.

So who's gonna get in trouble by the husbands?

I actually don't care. If my husband comes for me,

he can come for me. But he ain't coming for me.

Is that more of a jealousy thing?

Ah, go for it.

Stressed about it.

Oh wow, OK.

Ah, go for it.

Yeah.

Oh, wow. OK.

Honestly, I thought I'd be walking in there and she'd be super happy

with her partner, but it turns out they are in a bit of turmoil.

She said she was 70% keen.

I was kind of like, OK, that's, like,

you're either 100% or you're not.

If there's any of that tiny bit of doubt,

then it just infests and turns toxic.

He's an amazing man. He is.

He cares for me and he grounds me because I'm so loud and I am really

loud and outspoken and direct, right? Yeah.

But he's softened for me, and I need him to be strong with me.

He's treading on eggshells.

He's avoiding me because he doesn't...

He's not a pussy!

I respect David as a man.

Like, he is an amazing man.

But I am feeling very mixed emotions in my head at the moment,

And I feel like today, it was a good day with this man, Conor.

I felt like we really had a bit of fun and a bit of banter today.

Two ADHDs trying to talk on top of each other.

Just like, simmer down. (BLEEP) listen.

Obviously he's a handsome man as well, but you know what?

He says things, like he talks and he, he has more high energy.

So, like, that was just fun for me.

And, like, it has made me realise even more now, I'm lacking

in these areas in my relationship.

You gonna drop your pants?

Yeah, if I have to. Let me do some squats first, so it looks like...

I'm intrigued to get to know what's been happening with you, really.

So, like, I'm really happy.

I legitimately feel like I've found the right person.

Uh, so I personally don't want to be here,

but I don't want to disrespect you.

I understand that you've made the effort here.

Uh, but yeah, I'm very content and I just feel...

So the experts do their job. That's amazing.

Yeah, absolutely. My alternative match was Shannon.

She had a nice, nice, nice, warm energy about her,

but no disrespect or anything to take away from it, but I'm good.

You know, I'm pretty secure with what I got here.

She's 32. She's from Lithuania.

Oh, amazing.

Yeah, yeah. So eastern...

Eastern European.

Is she based in Australia?

Yeah, yeah, she's in Australia. She's Sydney. So, like, I was...

Because I was based in Melbourne.

There you go. Yeah, it's crazy.

I'm happy for you. That's really good.

I'm not...

I'm not a lightweight. Just so you know.

Ignatius. Ignatius, tell us about yourself.

Uh, about myself. All right, so my name's Ignatius.

I'm 40, from Sydney.

Work in advertising, and obviously I'm single. That's why I'm here.

I'm not feeling comfortable at all.

Have you ever been married or...? Not married.

No kids. No kids? Nothing?

If I could have my way in this moment of us sitting at the table,

all I want to do is pick up my handbag, push my chair, and be like.

It's been lovely meeting you all.

I want to go home to my husband.

But, you know, this guy's taken the time to come and meet me.

Have you always been in Sydney? Always been in Sydney.

Yep. Born and bred. What about yourself?

I'm from Melbourne. Nice. Yeah, yeah.

Sorry. I'm very uncomfortable right now.

I've got to be really honest.

Um, my husband and I, Steven, he and I are in such a great place.

We've actually had such a beautiful journey. Yeah?.

OK, so...

He's my hubby!

I love it, I love it.

It's been a hell of a ride between me and my partner. Yeah?

What's your partner's name?

Rachel. Rachel.

Are you having a good time with Rachel?

Now we are. Now. Oh, you guys had some issues?

We had some issues at the start. I mean,

we married strangers.

Yeah, course. I'm pretty secure.

We've come leaps and bounds.

And I think Rachel's definitely the perfect match for me.

That's so cool. You know what?

When I first sat down, I was like, oh, you're very nervous,

but you show that you're secure within yourself

because you've actually stayed. Very well done.

Thank you.

Cheers, Stephanie, cheers to meeting ya.

I went in there with the intentions of going, I'm going to be a man.

I'm going to give my alternate match the respect

because she's come here to the table.

But my mind is on Rachel.

She's my number one.

I'm so into Rachel

that it doesn't matter how good the other person is,

it's, you can't see yourself with them because Rachel knows me.

NARRATOR: As Steven continues to sing Rachel's praises...

Well, she loves a laugh,

let me tell you, Rachel loves a laugh.

..across town, Bec has a burning question she needs answered.

Oh dear god.

BEC: So...what do you do?

I do boxing.

Pro boxing.

Is that bad?

So does my husband. There you go.

Maybe we can square off at some point and see who's the real winner.

Well, that ain't me. I'll tell you right now.

That guy has lost his mind.

I'm an easy going sort of go with the flow kind of guy.

I want a girl that loves humour.

I like to have fun. I like jokes and gags and fun. That's what I like.

And hopefully she's a dog person.

I've got a French bulldog who does smell, he does fart.

How old are you? I'm 31. How old are you?

35, turning 36.

(BLEEP) young. Old. No, not at all.

Cougar. I reckon... I like cougars.

That's sort of my thing.

So they've got it right here, 'Cause you're hot. Thanks, babes.

I would have washed my hair if I knew I was going on a date today.

You got your husband now.

But, like, what was the thing that you were looking for?

What was your type?

Um...

Someone who loved animals.

Someone who had good teeth.

Someone that wanted to (BLEEP) me. Would be nice.

That helps.

Beautiful. Fantastic.

I'm coming at the right time, then.

Yeah, exactly.

Um, someone who loved animals.

Someone who had good teeth.

Um, someone probably that wanted to (BLEEP) me.

Yeah. That helps.

Beautiful. Fantastic.

I've come in at the right time, then.

Yeah, exactly.

My husband and I, we hardly have any sex,

so I just think he's not into me.

But he won't say it.

No, you're not into me. Just say it. You're not into me.

I'm in love. You love him?

So right now, I'm trying to leave.

I'm trying to push him away and run away. Yeah.

Yeah. So that's my life at the moment.

I mean, that sounds like chaos.

My thoughts on Bec - she's an absolute firecracker.

Um, a bit of a tornado.

She obviously is sort of unhappy with the relationship

but is happy with it.

He's the most important person ever to me.

I'm happy, but...

I'm confused.

We hate confusion. Yeah.

Time will tell. What happens now?

We've got final vows. Oh, there's final vows.

So...

Taylor, he is a cool guy, but in my opinion,

Taylor doesn't compare to Danny.

I love Danny.

He (BLEEP) does my head in, but I love him.

And then going into this situation with another man,

it makes me appreciate him more.

And I hope, crossing everything,

that it's made Danny appreciate me, too.

Oi, girl. Today's been chaos so far.

ET, ET probably found (BLEEP) love before me.

The boys sprinting off, quaking in their boots.

But I did notice that when it was all getting pretty

intense in the room,

Chenelle, she just sat there so chilled next to me.

It feels refreshing.

Bec's probably not the most peaceful, at the best of times.

Do you have a Big Dipper? Oh!

I'm Chenelle Brown and I manage an education company.

I am running a business in an executive role.

He needs to have a presence.

He has to be driven, takes good care of himself,

presents well, and very secure.

So we were potentially going to be matches?

Yeah. I find you very attractive.

Would I have been your type?

Um, to be honest, I don't really have a type so much.

I'm more just go off, like, someone I vibe with.

I agree. Yeah.

So how's your experience been so far?

It's been good, yeah. Um, uh, it's a lot. You know what I mean?

I'll be honest. We've had our ups and downs.

She's a good woman. She's a strong woman. She's a good woman.

But, um, we've had a couple of like, like, major, or minor run-ins.

I'm not too, like...

Probably not the most confrontational bloke in the world,

I'm pretty chill.

Like, yeah, it can be a bit like, um, it can be intense.

Mm.

I appreciate the honesty.

Thank you.

Chenelle, she was a nice woman.

Really friendly.

OK.

And she had a kind of energy.

Completely different to Bec.

It was actually quite nice to have some peace.

Scott and I are not good.

No, you're not.

Oh, yeah. You came in at the right time for you.

Obviously, I've shown so (BLEEP) much and I do everything.

I cook for him, I clean for him. I'm a (BLEEP) wife.

I told him that I'm in love with him.

He hasn't said it back, which has been pissing me off,

because usually I'm a girl with like 20 guys and I'm like, go away.

Oh, shit, this is too much.

I'm James Brady.

I work in sales and marketing.

So you need the validation from Scott.

I...

What did you just say?

Cute.

James, he comes in very hot.

If I was single, yeah, I'd eat that up.

I'd be like, yes. What's our kids' names?

NARRATOR: The final test of the experiment has divided our grooms,

and for Danny, David and Scott's departure from the table

is a violation of the bro code.

The boys could have, like, sat and had like,

like, we're just having a friendly conversation.

This is what's annoyed me the most.

We said as men, let's sit down, let's be gentlemen and let's do

this together. Are we that insecure

that we can't talk to a (BLEEP) female?

Can I personally cheers you? Be a man.

These women have flown in from all over the country

today to come and talk to us.

Yes!

Danny's a man. I'm sorry, someone had to say it.

And I'm not the most talented man in the world.

I'm not the strongest man.

I'm not the most charismatic man,

but I am the man who always shows up.

I love Danny.

When the history books are written, Danny Hewitt always shows up.

Why don't you girls move up here so we can all have,

like, a group conversation?

Help yourselves to some food as well, girls.

Thank you.

FILIP: Danny, he was definitely in his element over there.

You are an absolute G. Cheers to you.

And I hope that you find a partner soon. I'm sure you will.

Sorry. Um, background?

Irish?

He was definitely enjoying the moment.

Let's just put it that way.

Maybe a little bit too much.

We're, I think we're just having a friendly conversation.

We're here.

It's OK.

I want to have my peace with my woman.

And that's what I was thinking about this whole time.

As soon as I saw the letter.

All I was thinking about was Gia.

Bye, boys.

See youse later.

Good luck with everything.

Thank you.

(BLEEP)!

Danny!

My relationship is so important with Gia right now.

I just wouldn't give any other person the time of day.

GIA: OK, James, introduce yourself to the group.

Uh, James, I've been here ten years. Sydney for seven.

Moved to Goldi three years ago.

Do you make a good amount of money?

Enough. OK.

Whoa!

What's your vibe on a relationship, in terms of finances?

Well, I've always been a provider, so...

I only date men that pay for everything.

I can't!

I'm married. Sorry.

So, James, I mean, he was (BLEEP) trying hard. I'll give him that.

He was giving it a good go.

And I do like that when men really put themselves out there.

I definitely got a bit flustered.

Seriously, I can't. Oh!

Stop it.

Why?

Yeah, I don't know. There's some things that, like, are starting to

piss me off, to be honest. Yeah.

Yeah, we've been, like, on our wedding, we straight away

clicked, like, we've been into each other the whole time.

We really haven't had much issues until now.

Like, he'll go, "We're OK babe. Everything's good."

And then we sat on the couch and throws me under the bus

and I don't feel safe.

. I feel like I give so much to this man and I feel like

it's not being reciprocated.

I just feel, at the end of the day,

I'm a girl who wants to feel loved.

RACHEL: Scott cares for you, babe.

We've seen it this whole time.

I know that it's been rough these past couple of days, but if we

actually put it in perspective of how this whole thing has gone,

he adores you.

Ever. Ever.

Oh, James. Put it on some (BLEEP) ice.

Never.

I'm sorry. My boy cares for Gia.

Honestly, chill the (BLEEP) out.

It's not good right now, to be honest.

And I feel very unsettled with him and I. So...

Yeah.

You're ridiculous.

James,

like, he wants a piece of Gia. And d'you know what?

Sitting there, adoring her.

It's what she's not getting from Scott.

So yeah, I think questions have been raised.

And I reckon there's a little bit of a spark and vibe there,

to be honest with you.

Gia, she just stole my eyes. As soon as I walked in,

that's the girl that I want to be with.

Like, outspoken, tattoos, blonde hair, beautiful.

No! Maybe.

Yeah, maybe a little bit.

Oh my god.

Oh my god! No, we will not.

Look, if I was in the outside world and I met James in a bar,

I probably would go on a date with James.

He has tattoos.

He's a bit pushy.

He's a bit of an alpha.

He's very forward.

And I do tend to like men like that.

NARRATOR: With grooms, David, Scott and Filip

leaving the final test lunch earlier...

..our remaining grooms, Danny and Steven...

My wife, Rachel, is a massive Swiftie, like, massive.

..are saying their goodbyes.

So nice to meet you guys.

Thank you so much for staying.

Honestly, legends.

Bit disappointed with the boys, to be honest.

You go sprinting off,

you leave your mates at the table.

And not only that, you go and hide in a toilet. God damn!

I'm telling you now, they're scared of their own shadows.

Lovely to meet ya.

Good luck with everything.

Said to the boys, we either stand and fight together

like men, or we die together like men.

See you later.

Good to see you.

Hopefully I helped. See you later.

Me and Steven, we stood there as men.

It's so lovely to meet you.

Likewise.

We were gentlemen.

We were respectful.

And we fought like men.

Bye, Danny. Bye, Stevo.

Come on.

Let's get the (BLEEP) out of here.

Oh.

Good luck, guys.

Yeah. I would go on a date with you. I would hang out with you.

But I'm with Scott.

But he's not investing with you.

Why are you investing with someone who's not going to

No (BLEEP) way!

(INDISTINCT CHATTEER)

Oh my god!

I'm not! He asked me and I said no!

I said no!

I said, no, James!

Tomorrow night...

..all will be revealed.

This task terrifies me, I don't know what happened

with Alissa and the girls.

What happens when our brides and grooms...

..watch back the footage of the final test.

I feel like I've been betrayed.

I'm done in a week.
