I'm gonna pour
my drink on her.

Can you muzzle your woman?

You're not coming
for my husband.

Dinner is served.

Welcome to MAFS:
After the Reunion.

Different names, same recipe.

I'm Jules, here with
Laura and Brittany.

The experiment might be over,
but we ain't done yet.

There is still so much
left unsaid.

And tonight, let me tell you,
it is all coming out.

We're back with unseen footage,
all the tough questions,

and no one is going to get
a free pass.

We have a jam-packed show.

We've brought
all the big players.

Bec was left high and dry
at reunion.

And tonight she wants
answers from Danny.

And hell hath no fury
like Bec scorned.

Then Steph will front up
to the texting drama

that caused so much chaos
at the reunion dinner party.

They broke the nation's heart,

but Rachel and Steven
will unpack what really happened

after final vows.

And if there is any hope left,

then Alissa and David
come face-to-face.

They've still got a score
to settle,

and they'll do it right here
on this very couch.

And last but certainly not
least,

Stella is here with some very
special bling on her finger.

And she's also brought
her fiancé along as well.

And, I mean, honestly,
I'm just exhausted

just thinking about it all.

Yeah, I thought maybe
the relationship dust

would have settled, but there's
just more twists and turns.

Settled? I feel like it's just
starting to kick back up again.

It's insane.

I also kind of feel
pretty sad that, like,

I mean, I'm so happy
for Stella and Filip,

but I do feel sad that Rachel
and Steven didn't work out

and that there's
no other couples!

It's not over.

I reckon we could get them
over the line tonight.

That's what I'm thinking!

I think we play
matchmaker again.

I think there's
still love there.

I'm not convinced it's over.

Well, look, Danny was due
to arrive 30 minutes ago,

but let me tell you,
he is still not here.

We booked his flights.

We're just not sure
if he's on it.

The last we heard,
he wanted to negotiate

a little bit of moolah,
which is a big no from us.

Feels like he's taking

something out of the
Gia playbook, right?

Like, I'm gonna come,
no, I'm not.

I think it's rich because
Danny was the one who sat here

and said that the people
who don't show up

are the people who can't
take accountability.

And it seems like he now,
who's in the hot seat

he can't take
the accountability.

He needs to be accountable
for his unaccountability.

Yeah, well, the mask
has officially slipped

and now you can't face
the music, Danny.

We hope you show up,
but we must forge ahead.

Well, let's kick it off
with Rachel and Steven.

They had the whole nation
behind them

as they navigated
the experiment.

But despite walking away
together at the final vowels,

things quickly turned sour.

- This is it.
- I know.

Oh, going to cry.

Long distance is one of
our biggest challenges.

I'm going to have some
serious thinking to do.

Being away from Rachel,
I've realised that,

yeah, I do have deep feelings
for her.

My biggest fear is that

I will not meet
Rachel's expectations.

Oh, my god. Wow.

You look beautiful.

I've never felt for
anyone what I feel for you.

I want this.

I want you.

I choose you.

And I'm diving in.

Like a fairy tale ending,
isn't it?

Steven and I have broken up.

I'm single again.

Oh, girl.

- Darling.
- Oh, Rachey.

- No!
- Oh, no.

I can't believe
we've broken up.

I'm hurt. I mean,
I am hurt, I'm devastated.

I'm not wearing my ring,

but I do have it
on me just in case.

Guys, I...

I have to ask, where are you at?

His work is busy.

All, like, basically
throughout the year,

and winter's his free time.

So that's when he can give
the relationship more.

But that's not how
relationships work.

It's not seasonal.

I think it's a cop out
and here's why.

You're saying, I think this is
the one for me,

but I'm not prepared to make
any sacrifices.

You're telling her all
the things

that will give her hope
and then doing nothing about it.

Now, do you want
to be with Rachel?

- Yes or no?
- Just own it. Just own it.

Come on, Stevo,
be honest.

Set her free.

Too much.

This is really unfair now.

I'm just going to...

put a bullet in it
and just say no.

Rachel. Stevo.

Oh!

Guys, welcome back.

Thanks. Thanks for having us.

It's heartbreaking to see.

And we have all been
rallying for you guys.

Honestly, that came
as a huge surprise.

How are you feeling now?

It's really sad.

It's not normal, guys,
you don't want to break up

with someone, then watch
your beautiful love story back.

Watching our final vowels, like,
going back to that moment.

And I was like, I was a girl
in love and you could see it

all over me, right?

And so that's hard to relive.

And I think that's where
the emotion comes from.

Well, it's an emotional
roller coaster

watching everything back.

And I always have that,
you know, regret of, like,

yeah, I sort of think I could
have done things

a little bit better.

Of, like, actually let me,
let me resay that a lot better.

Stevo, you saying, I'm just
going to put a bullet in it,

which I think was more
like putting your foot in it?

It was very hard to watch.

Yeah, bad choice of words.

I tend to do that.
However...

Look, it was a very emotional
moment, high-pressure moment.

And part of me
just didn't want to

really say no either.

To this day, I still think,
you know,

was that the right decision?

Could have I done
things differently?

To this day, I've still got my
regrets and the what-ifs.

But what is it over?
I'm so confused by this.

Like, you came onto this show
for love. You got love.

Do you not want a partner
or do you not want Rachel?

I'm confused.

Part of me thinks that
I wasn't good enough for Rachel.

I've sort of set her free.

And to find someone
better than me.

I think that's really unfair.

I'm so sorry.

I spent three months with you,
lifting you up, celebrating you.

I was going to pick up
my life and move for you.

You were the one
I wanted to be with.

How many times did you
actually see each other when,

after final vows?

Once.

And that's when
you broke up?

For less than 48 hours.

But that doesn't really
feel like giving it a real go

in the real world.

I wouldn't say
it's not a lot of effort.

Like I said, I flew down,
I flew down to Melbourne

three weeks after final vows
and we spent two days together

and it was on the second day,
the energy just felt really off.

And that's when that
conversation sort of happened.

But I think it's the build up
to what happened

before we saw each other.

I was begging you
to come to Melbourne.

I literally had to beg you.

And then you rang me
the next day

and were like, I want to come.

But my concerns are if we come
and have a fight,

I'm going to be really
uncomfortable.

And I was like, well,
that's not fair

because I went to
your home with your family.

That could have happened
there too.

I put myself in that position.

But you'd already rang Danny
and planned beers with him.

You told Danny you
were coming to Melbourne

before you had even told me.

You had essentially
been caught out.

And then it got flipped
into your insecurities

and how you're scared.

And I'm there begging you
on the phone to just,

babe, please.

The only way we can get through
this is to come back together.

And you could only give me
less than 48 hours

because of all your
other commitments.

It wasn't enough.

So your relationship
was confusing

going into the reunion
dinner party, even for you two,

as demonstrated in
this unseen footage.

- Yeah.
- I can't wait.

Part of me doesn't even want
to say hello to Rachel.

But that wouldn't be
very gentleman-like of me.

And that's not in my nature.

I'm sort of really upset
it's gone to this

sort of below the belt
sort of moment.

I've got a feeling that
Rachel's going to be after me.

I feel like her not contacting
me, not messaging me

is a bit out of character
for her.

I don't know if Bec
has given her a plan.

I just don't know what to think.

I just actually want
to see Steven.

I can't help it, I miss him.

You know, like, the feelings
haven't gone away.

You know, I have spent days

and you're, like, have we
done the right thing?

Have we not tried hard enough?

Like, is there, like,
I don't know,

but I just want to see him.

I just want to make sure
that he's OK.

I'm not OK.

I think you would know
that I'm not OK.

But I don't know how he is.

And I just want to know.

So the plan was that
me and Rachel

were going to walk
in together, hand in hand.

But you didn't. And, Steven,
you were really angry about it.

Why were you mad?

Well, because this
all sort of fell apart

the night before.

What happened
the night before?

So Steven and I had agreed
the night before we were

going to reunion that we
spent the night together,

and we had a conversation
about where we were at.

Things might have changed.

You know, like maybe we
could have been walking in

together, hand in hand.

And it happened again.

Work became the priority
and I hit my limit.

I hit it and I was just,
like, well, I'll go,

we're going separately.

Had you told production
that you'd broken up?

No?

Rach!

So if production asks you, did
you just flat out lie to them?

Yeah, we just were like...

Yep.

They don't need to know
everything.

Why? I'm so confused.

No, no, no. Of course, we
were going through a confusing

time of like, we didn't know if
we had made the right decision,

if we saw each other.

It was... It was a mess.

Look, it probably wasn't
the right decision,

but the emotions were running
so high with me and Rachel.

Like when we decided we're
not going to continue this.

We cried for two hours,
pretty much.

When you put your ring back
on, at that point in time,

were you like, yes, I'm back in?

Or were you like, actually,
I'm putting this back on

because we're now back into
this agreement

that we've had where we're in
good territory with each other?

- Pretty much. So I think...
- Pretty much which one?

Pretty much
with the we're back

in this agreement.

Back in the agreement, not
back in a relationship together.

Confusing, I know.

Very confusing.

And Rachel, your
reaction was visceral just then.

Like, is that news to you then?

Because as, as a viewer,
it seemed like

putting the ring back on
is a statement of

we are back in this
relationship together.

Putting the ring back on
for me,

I knew that we weren't back
together because we weren't.

But I saw it as more
of, like, a reach out,

a hope, a hopeful moment.

So to hear that, it's like I put
it back in because we're back in

this agreement
to do this thing,

I'm just kind of like,
that's not fair.

You see that, like, putting
the ring on is a pretty big

statement of, even if you're
not saying we're back together,

it's like, I have
enough feelings for you that

we're going to get out of here
and we're going to work on it.

At the time, I thought
a little, you know,

there's thoughts in my,
little voices in my head going,

just maybe it may work out.

So I put the ring back on,
thinking there's probably

some still sort of hope
here for this.

What point did you realise
for you there was no hope?

I seriously thought
after the commitment ceremony

and me saying those
ridiculous words, I thought

just me saying that alone
was enough to fuck it all up.

- And it was, evidently.
- I think it was.

What would you do differently?

I would...

Realistically, my communication
skills after final vows,

that was quite shit.

Um, watching it all
back, it's the just keep it

a bit more of a priority.

Don't just go back into my life
and go, that's my comfort zone.

You've got to make
that a priority.

With everything that
has happened,

everything that's gone on, if
you're honest with yourself,

do you believe that when
Steven stood there at final vows

and made a promise to you
and a commitment to you

that he actually intended
on following through with that?

A part of me feels like

Steven didn't want to hurt me,

so he did what
he thought was right.

Because I think deep, deep
down,

he didn't actually
want to be with me.

He didn't want to hurt me.

- And then you ended...
- I never do.

And then you ended up
destroying me.

So...

That tears me apart.

How close to the pin is she?

Final vows,

I wasn't 100% convinced.
And...

What percent
do you think?

Out of five, I was
about three and a half, around,

out of five, four, out of five
thinking, yeah, this,

let's see this into
the real world.

It's a really sad
story for both of you.

It is a sad story.

I've grown from it.

And like I said, a lot of
positive has come from it,

but I feel like I've fucked
up at the end big time.

Can this work?

If we had another
shot, possibly. Yeah. If we...

Who would you be?

Be a man. I would step
up and put Rachel first.

I'm so sorry.

There is no part of me
that will go back to

a relationship with Steven.

Um, because words and actions
didn't align

and done this before.

I've had the...

a part of me wants to be with
you, but we live long distance.

I want someone who
wholeheartedly wants me.

So I can't go back to that.

And so while I'll always, always
have love for you in my heart.

You have a very special, very
special place in my heart.

I would never go back.
I'm sorry.

I hope that you
take from this,

you know, you put
yourself out there.

You did it again.

And you should be so proud
of yourself. Genuinely.

I know we've already
said it, like...

And also, the two of you
have been a joy to watch.

Your relationship
was an absolute joy.

Thank you for coming
and for being vulnerable.

And like I said, we have been
all so invested

in the both of you,

and we can see that this is
something that is still very raw

and very fresh
for the two of you,

and it's going to take
time to get over this,

but we wish you the best of luck
in your next relationships.

Thank you all so much.

Now, look,
we did have Danny

who was supposed
to be coming today.

However, surprise, surprise, he
was a no show at the reunion

and he is a no show
for his flight this morning.

And he also stopped
answering our calls.

Funny that he had such
an issue with Gia

not facing the music,

yet the second that he has
copped a little bit of heat,

he's also nowhere to be seen.

However, Bec is here,
and I know that she's got

a lot to get off her chest,
so let's bring her on out.

- Oh, my god. Stop.
- Hi.

Hello, baby.

What the hell?
How are you?

Oh, Bec.

How are you?

You all look so hot.
You make me feel inferior.

- Take a seat.
- Danny didn't come.

Does that surprise you at all?

No. I woke up to
a essay of, um, a message

from him this morning.

Um, it's my fault that, um,

the country doesn't
like him at the moment.

So you guys have been in
contact then recently

for you to still be messaging?

Yeah. So, we had
a bit of communication

like here and there.

Yesterday I messaged him
and said, are you OK?

I know that there's a lot
of press that's come out.

And I did say to him,
I was going to be honest

about my experience.

Bec, why do you think he's
maintained, I guess,

a friendly relationship with you
up until last night's messages?

He was wanting to keep his,
you know, us sweet a little bit

because he wanted me to
speak highly of him in press.

And the moment he saw
a couple of articles

come out yesterday,

he launched.

It was pretty intense.

I still thought he'd show.
I don't know why, like...

It's the commitment ceremony
all over again

when I was like,
Danny, you need to come,

you need to come and like
sit with Bec and like,

talk about your experience.

I thought he would come back.

Bec, this whole MAFS journey
for you has been a rough ride,

some horrific behaviour,
but we are starting to

better understand where a lot of
that tension was coming from.

And this moment from
tonight's episode

is actually quite telling.

Alright, Danny.

The future without Bec is,
would be bright.

- Oh!
- What the fuck?

You know what I mean?

After this, gonna be
women queuing up for me.

Holy shit.

Won't be able to
walk down the street.

They'll be throwing
their pantyhose at me.

So either way,
it's gonna be alright.

Fucking hell.

No.

Deserve so much better
than that, babe.

I know. I love you.

That's a wrap.

Are we going to the pub now?

Oh, it's so difficult
to watch that.

So difficult because he had told
me five days before final vows,

I'm falling in love with you.

We're 100% leaving together.

We're the strongest couple.

And I'm like, stronger together,
rah-rah-rah.

But they were the conversations
I was having with him.

It seems like a lot of these
conversations were happening

off-camera, like, there was
a lot of affirmation

that you were getting,

but we weren't seeing it
as an audience.

Yeah. When it was just
Danny and I,

the conversations
were beautiful.

You know, we're so strong.

You know, I wouldn't be here
if I didn't have

these really strong feelings
for you.

You know, I'm not
good with words.

So when I don't affirm you
in front of the cameras,

it's because I'm not good
with words.

I look like an idiot now, right?

I look like a fool because in
front of the cameras, he wasn't.

But I was believing what he was
saying and not his actions.

It must be very confusing
watching all of this back.

It blows my mind, Jules.

It blows my mind because
he told me that he'd been

telling the cameras
he was falling in love with me.

Well, look,
speaking of confusing,

at the final dinner party,

there was all the
discussion around whether or not

Danny actually said that he
was falling in love with you.

You said that he had said it,
and he kind of downplayed it.

We do have an extended scene
from the reunion dinner party,

which will give us all
a little bit more clarity on

that exact matter.

You said you were
falling in love with me.

Don't lie. I said...

You were falling in love
with me.

I said I had
strong feelings for you.

You said you were
falling in love with me.

Bec, Bec.

Daniel, do not sit here...

Bec. Yeah, I said that.
Yeah, I said that.

I didn't say I'm in love
with you.

Daniel. I believed you
when you told me you were

falling in love with me.

I believed you when you
told me categorically,

Bec, we are leaving together.

I trusted you.

I walked down the path...

- Bec. I never...
- You did on that Saturday.

Bec. Can I talk? Fuck me.

Otherwise, I'm just
going to walk away.

Because there's no point
in this if we can't just

have a conversation.

I said I was falling
in love with you.

I was falling in love with you.

Sometimes love isn't enough.

And by that, I mean, right?

There was problems
with our relationship.

For the record,
everything I said was true.

- You should have told me.
- I didn't want you...

You should have you told me...

You should have told
me beforehand

that you had reservations.

But instead, on the Tuesday
when we were packing, you said,

babe, don't divide everything.

- How many times...
- Excuse me.

Don't divide everything.

We're moving into
the same house.

What you did was let me
walk down a path to you

in a wedding dress,
knowing you knew that I was

of the understanding that you
were falling in love with me

and we were leaving together
to see how it would go.

And instead, you dumped me.

Boom. The puzzle pieces are
coming together. And look...

I mean, he definitely told you
and admitted there

that he was falling in love
with you.

So you're not completely crazy.

- Thank you, thank you.
- Completely.

Completely.

There's still a little
bit of crazy in there, Bec.

I mean, like we
literally just saw it.

He said he's falling
in love with you.

And then two days later
we see him saying,

thank god she's out of my life.

It's wild.

We showed footage last week
of him telling you, Steven,

that he did not say that.

So there's two
parallel narratives.

Do you see that?

I can see, yeah, I can see it.

And at the time when, you know,
he's your mate,

I believe every word
that Danny says to me.

Seriously, he's probably had me
fooled as well that I

believed him when he was trying
to work on his relationship.

Just to validate you for
a second, Bec,

he pulled the wool over
all of our eyes

to hear him say that.

He gaslit you in that
one conversation, then undid it,

admitted himself
that he said it...

And then re-gaslit me again.

Yeah, but you
must feel so validated

that Australia has seen that
now?

I do and look, like,
I do feel validated

that that's come out, because
I knew that that conversation

had happened
at that dinner party.

- What do you think was his M.O?
- Fame.

Like, when you said,
you know...

Fame. He knew that
I was controversial.

I put my foot in my mouth.

I think that he knew being
with me would get him airtime

and he wanted to long it out.

I think at the start he
wanted to be into you,

but your behaviour
turned him off

and he stopped playing
for love.

He started to play for himself
and the worse you looked,

the better he would look, right?

You sensed all of that.

And rather than take it
out on him

because he's a black belt
in bullshit,

you exploded on everyone else.

Meanwhile, he got exhausted
and he did not have the energy

to hold the mask up for anyone
but the one person

who could take him to the
final vowels, which was you.

I've achieved my goal.

All the while,
it has cost you.

Mm-hm.
It's cost me everything.

Well, look, things really
started to fall apart

for the both of you
during the final test week.

You had a pretty big argument
after Danny watched the video.

Now, Bec, what we're
about to show you is

going to be incredibly
hard for you to watch.

OK.

Telling me that's the best
you could bring me?

You want to be
ashamed of yourself, MAFS do.

I can fucking walk in
Coles and get

a better bird than that.
Fuck me.

I gave up my life to be here.

I've got a fucking
cushy little life.

I gave up my life to be here.

And I could roll
in Coles right now,

walk up to,
oh, there's a bird in there,

she'd be better than Bec.

Can't be no worse.
It's impossible.

Fuck me.

Shit.

So shit.

Are the execs watching this?

You're fucking shit at your jobs.

Bring me better women.

You can do that if you're about
a 15 out of ten

and she's not.

Fucking annoying.

Yep.

Sorry. I don't want to cry.

- I'm here.
- Sorry.

What we just watched
was disgusting, and we all,

when we saw that footage,
were horrified,

like, actually horrified.

All of it was revolting.

- All of it.
- All of it.

Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?

This is why I say
he's come on for fame, guys.

I'm sorry.

Because if that's how you feel
about me, why did you sit there

for three months straight?

So he told you he was falling
in love with you after this?

- That afternoon.
- I'm falling in love with you.

As soon as those cameras
left, that's when he told me

he was falling in love with me.

He said to me,
I'm falling in love with you.

I've been telling the cameras
this for a week now.

I'm saving those words
for final vows.

Rach, what was your
reaction to that?

I'm disgusted.

If I knew Danny was that way,

I wouldn't be mates with him.

- No way.
- I would not be mates with him.

Stevo?

Yeah, it's a bit...

Can't protect him now, Stevo,
after that.

No, it's pretty disappointing.

There's nothing gentlemen
about that at all.

I never saw any...
I didn't see any of that.

Well, none of us did.

- None of us.
- That's the real Danny.

Do you watch that
video and think

that's just Danny's bravado?

Like, because he does have
this, like, larrikin,

makes a joke of everything,
says things off the cuff.

Do you think that that is him
trying to, like, put on a thing?

That's the other side of Danny
that Australia hasn't seen.

Do you think he
felt untouchable?

Absolutely. I think he thought
Australia would love him because

he's the funny guy and that

that sort of stuff
would never be used

and that I was the nutcase
and Australia would praise him

for finally leaving me.

Obviously some of your
behaviour throughout

this experiment has been
horrible,

but there is something
to be said

that when someone is feeding you
one thing,

but they're not telling
the truth in another instance,

it makes you
a crazy version of yourself.

It made me wild because
when we were by ourselves,

we never argued.

Everything was hunky dory

and then the cameras
would come up

and it was like
a completely different story.

It's like that dinner party
where I wore the red dress.

He was like, babe,
I so understand.

Like, you wrote these
text messages.

They were so long ago.

I wish everyone would just leave
it alone now you've apologised.

And then we sat there
and he's like,

I don't give a fuck
about how many...

Now I understand that what
I wrote, abhorrent,

my behaviour, abhorrent,
me, abhorrent.

But every single dinner party,
he validated me.

Then I'd sit there
and he'd go, rah!

And I'd be like, well,
what the fuck is going on?

I'm never going to blame anyone.

Never an edit, never another
person for my behaviour.

I make choices.

They're fucking shit choices.

But I made them.

But he made me fucking nuts,
guys. He made me nuts.

Looking back now,
do you think it was all a lie?

Yep. The whole thing
was a lie.

- I feel like an idiot.
- No no no no no.

What makes this
even worse, Bec,

and I'm really sorry,
but after we saw him say

those vile comments,

you recorded this video diary
yourself 24 hours later.

- I'm here.
- I just feel like a fool.

Yesterday you would
have seen

Daniel and I have quite an
argument, to be honest with you.

Um, after watching the videos

of us going to the
alternative match lunches,

we came home.

We sat down, we talked.

He told me he's falling
in love with me.

I love him. Um, and we just...
it's been months, you know,

and we're tired.

But yeah, I came home

after seeing my cousin
for a little while,

and I'll show you
what he did for me.

I'm happy we're good again,
with photos of us.

It's really cute.

Um, so we're OK.

We're great.

Like, we just
can't wait to go and live

in the real world together.

And you know,

none of this other stuff
going on.

You know, it's funny
because he's calling me

a liar and a manipulator,
but that's manipulation.

It is no wonder you walked
into those final vows believing

that the two of you were going
to be together,

and it is no wonder
that you thought

he was falling in love with you.

Yeah. I get it.
My behaviour disgusting.

Do I need to work on myself?
Absolutely.

Am I?
Yes.

But I don't deserve this.

I don't deserve this.

I don't.

- You really don't, Bec.
- Sorry.

- No, no. No-one deserves it.
- I'm so embarrassed.

You don't have to be
embarrassed because someone

made you believe that they
were falling in love with you.

That's not your
embarrassment to carry.

That was done intentionally.

And I'm sorry that you're
sitting here

and you're feeling like that.

Yeah.

You OK?

Yeah.

It's just really harsh, man.

I'm gonna be OK.
I deserve so much more.

I just hope that he watches
this and realises

that he's got work to do, too.

Bec, look, I know this
has been really intense,

but there is something else
we need to discuss.

Messages that came to light
between Danny and Steph.

Bec, I know you're probably
not going to like this,

but Steph is here,

so let's bring her out.

Hello.

- Oh, my back.
- How are we?

- Hi, honey.
- Gorgeous girl, hello.

Nice to see you.

- Hi.
- Hello. How are you?

Mwah.

- Hi, guys.
- Take a seat, my love.

- Nice to see you again.
- Thanks for having me.

- Steph, thanks for joining us.
- Pleasure.

Well, let's just cut
straight to the chase.

Why were you and Danny
messaging each other?

I saw that he was following
me on Instagram,

so I was just like, hey, man,
how are you?

Like, how's life
post-experiment?

Why did you feel like you
had to share that with Bec?

Well, I just because
I didn't want to lie.

I'd rather be up front
and show Bec my phone.

I gave her my phone
and said, look,

here's the whole conversation.

You had enough time
to delete a few.

Not saying that they were saucy.

And the phone call. You never
told me about a phone call.

The phone call was
right at the end.

OK.

There were no
deleted messages.

We don't know what
the content of those messages

were at this point in time,
what was the content?

So there were, like, there
were some photos exchanged,

one of which I was wearing
a bikini top

because he was like,
how was Hamilton Island?

I've never been there.
So I sent him some photos.

Selfie of you in the office.

Voice notes. She rang him.

What were
the voice notes?

So there was a voice note
in there as well,

and I was like, oh my god,
it's so good to hear your voice.

Like, you know,
how have you been?

I don't, I haven't even gone
back over to listen to them

because it wasn't that deep.

Well, Bec, why
were you so angry?

Like, what about this made you
furious or so deeply hurt?

I'm going to start off
by saying

the way I spoke to you
wasn't OK.

No, it wasn't it.

The way you talking to Danny
wasn't OK.

As my friend, who knew that
he had just broken my heart,

and you'd been supporting
me so graciously,

why you felt the need to, A,
lie to me

and say he reached out
to you first,

but B, to even
engage in that conversation.

- He broke your friend's heart.
- Yeah.

And that's what
upset me so much.

Did it ever move from
a sort of networking

to a friendship,
to flirt?

I don't think so.

Like, I was never
attracted to Danny.

Did Danny make it flirty?

No. No.

I never felt like he was
trying to flirt with me.

Did it feel like
a friendship betrayal to you?

Yeah, a lot.

Because, like, I didn't
get out of bed for six days.

All I did was cry
and stay in bed.

And I didn't understand
why he'd done it.

And he wouldn't speak to me.

- But he was talking to her.
- I am really sorry.

Sorry.

It blew up on both sides of
you because, you know,

clearly we saw that things were
tense between you and Danny,

but what we didn't see was
actually what happened

once the dinner party
had ended.

Yeah.

OK. That's alright.
That's all good.

That's OK, Danny.

Yeah.

I'm so sorry you had
to deal with that.

Oh, it's not for you
to apologise.

I just find it so funny
because I...

But it's not...
That's not funny.

Calling someone a little skank
is not funny.

I think the reason why
maybe I'm laughing

is because he was like,
you've done this for air time.

And I'm like, do you think
I want to get screamed at

by this woman for air time?

Like, I'm happy just sitting at
the fucking end of the table,

minding my own business.

He called you a skank.

An effing little skank.

I'm disgusted by the way
that he spoke to you.

To think that you can speak
about a woman or anyone.

To a woman!

Actually, you're correct.
To a woman that way.

And, oh, I'm not being recorded,
so it's going to be fine. No.

So it just shows further
that what we've been given

of Danny is a manufactured
version of Danny.

You guys were friends.

And all of this has obviously
put a massive wedge

in that relationship
and in your friendship,

how do you feel
towards each other now?

Oh, look, I mean...

We're never going to
be good friends again.

No. And that's OK.

The way that I behaved
toward you was not OK.

I was deflecting my anger
on him to you. And I'm sorry.

Guys, we do really wish you
all the best. And I mean that.

Every single one of you.

We hope you find
the loves of your life.

We hope you had a wonderful
time in the experiment

from whatever happened.

And we hope most of all that
you learn something

and take something away from it.
That's what it's all about.

Well, there is still
plenty more to come tonight.

They had the country crying
happy tears at the final vows,

and now Stella and Filip
are here to share what's next,

including the all-important
wedding plans.

Plus, after their explosive end,

Alissa and David
still have a lot to say.

And we are not talking
about Alissa's vows.

But before we get stuck
into all of that,

it is time to hear what the
trolls had to say this week.

So here is Posted and Roasted.

Listen, Mysy9,
I considered it.

I'm still considering it now,
to be honest with you.

Well, I definitely need
a kidney

after how many times
I just got punched.

I don't even get that.
What do you mean?

What does that mean?

Oh, that's lame as though.

Honey, he's taken.

Look, I'll give you
that one too, buddy.

Look, I've probably kissed
too many fish in my life,

so I might have to, uh, practise
on some more humans, hey?

I do!

How do you know
the gays are here?

Now you can say what
you want about my gift.

But don't come for my girl
Tay Tay.

Look, now I'm watching
it back, I can see that.

But you should have heard what
the pillow talk was like, babe.

I actually like these tweets.

Keep them coming.
That wasn't that bad.

I mean, there was
actually some kind of

nice ones this time.

Surprising, isn't it?

Well, David and Alissa
are waiting in the wings

itching to get their sides of
the story out

after a dramatic end
to their relationship.

Now, before we get
into it all,

let's look back
at how it unravelled.

The ball is in my court today,
and it breaks my heart

knowing that I'm going to be
breaking his heart

at the end of this.

What I've come to understand
is that with you,

there was no version of me
that could win.

I'm walking away
because loving you

shouldn't mean losing myself.

You're not gonna
listen to my vows?

That was the most
disrespectful thing

that anyone has ever done to me.

You're a coward, and your
ego got the better of you.

And you walk away
like a little boy

because you couldn't face
the music.

I walk in today,

and the first thing
you wanted me to do

is apologise to you.

You spat on my face.

She calls me walking away
spitting on her.

You spat on my face.

I don't want to bring
all the dirty laundry out.

You told me you went to
Adelaide.

On the flight back,
did you or did you not

get some friend's number?

You got a man's number?

Can I just say?

Can I finish my spiel?
And then you can go.

You've been talking
for the last ten minutes.

You've been talking more than
everyone here

for the last 20 minutes.
So let me speak.

Moving on. You're not my
person. I'm moving on.

It really hurts because I was
falling in love with him.

But I don't know.

I don't know that man.

I don't know who he is.

Oh, Alissa and David,
welcome first.

This has been a really hard
two weeks to watch back.

Has it been hard
for you guys to watch?

I haven't been watching it.
It's been a lot.

Yeah, it's a lot of emotions.

Like I've watched bits
and pieces,

but it's just it's really hard
to watch. Yeah, it's...

Is it the emotions
around the break-up?

Are you not watching
it because you don't,

the behaviour, like, what is it
about what we're seeing

that's too hard
for you to watch now?

It's a very unhappy
version of myself.

Is it hard to watch
back the behaviour?

Um, it's... I wouldn't
say it's the behaviour.

It's just not a happy version
of myself.

It's hard, it's just
really hard to watch.

I'm trying to find my words.

I'll phrase it differently.

Do you watch it back
and feel proud

or OK with your behaviour?

Oh, no. Like, I've learned
so much.

Like this happened
six months ago

and you watch back on things
and...

oh, gosh, that was not a version
of myself that I'm proud of.

Alissa, I want to hear
from you

how you feel
this deteriorated.

There was just something
inside me

that I couldn't put
my finger on it.

Like, there was something wrong.

It was just a feeling.

Do you think that you
were looking for something

to pin a reason onto?

Because it really did feel like
at home towns, you spiralled.

And when it was the test,

the whole fight with
the ring being taken off.

It was like you had something.

Have a reason to be so angry
and you could not let it go.

I couldn't let it go. No.

I think everything
was just heightened

in that moment.

And I was just like, uh, nah.

I know that we started
to cling to things

once it unravelled,

but actually,
in its very essence,

why did it not work?

I feel like over time,
I think Alissa just realised

it wasn't the right fit for her.

If I look back, I don't know
if you were fully into it

from the start and that's fine.

That's my... that's what I think.

If it wasn't for that
commitment ceremony,

I think that's where it really
crumbled for me.

OK. That's fair.

I was going in there and I'm
like, let's get the tools

that we need from the experts
to be able to move forward.

And I don't know about you, but
I remember we both were like,

what tools did we get?

Mel gave us a great tool.

She said, talk this through.

What happens when I get home?
Alissa moves out.

My frustration after that
commitment ceremony was

babe, like, why is this the last
commitment ceremony?

And it's like this,
this, this, this, this.

But watching it back now,
can you I guess, Alissa,

see the times where David
tried to speak

and you weren't
giving him the space

in the communication to do so?

Oh, there were definitely
areas

that I could do better
listening for sure.

And I watched back and
I'm like, gosh, Alissa,

just let him talk.

You know, just let him speak.
Let the man speak.

We were screaming at the TV.

You were saying,
"Why won't you talk to me?"

over the top of him
trying to talk.

Did you feel that
at the time, David?

But yeah, I definitely
felt like there were times

where I tried to bring up
something, and I don't know,

if it didn't sound too good
to you, it'd get shut down.

What's sad about this is by
the time the truth came out,

you didn't have enough time with
the experts to work through it.

It was a horrible time
to unravel.

It was the worst.

We did have great times
together, you know,

we made so many
memories together.

But you know what?

Like, he just wasn't
my person, you know?

And that is OK.

And when you get that gut
feeling and you're feeling like

there's something missing
for me, that is OK too.

Sometimes when you have
that gut feeling

but you don't have a reason,

it's what makes you clutch onto
those reasons even tighter.

So then when there was
something that David did,

instead of being able to
get over it, it was like...

It was heightened.

And I look back on that

and I've learned so much
about myself.

Alissa, I know that you
haven't watched it back,

but how do you feel you
might have responded

in the final test date?

And is that behaviour
acceptable in your eyes now?

Oh, no. I was definitely
just on the wines

and I did cross boundaries
definitely with my jokes.

But also following
Conor on Instagram

felt like a bit of a betrayal.

Yeah, and you know what?

That probably wasn't
the wisest thing.

Probably?

Wasn't the smartest move
for sure.

You live and you learn.

The reality was, is that that
whole thing was a final test

and like going away
and then adding that person

on Instagram does feel like you
failed the test in some ways.

You know what I mean?
Like, that...

The test was to test
if the grass was greener.

If it was like a random girl

who was going to give me
perspective on my relationship,

I'll sit there all day,
every day.

But these girls obviously...

I'll be honest,
I left the experiment

and three of them
were in my DMs, so.

They've been in our DMs.

They've been in everyone's DMs.

Yeah, they... Not in Jules's.
Not on Jules's DMs.

It's at Jules Lund
lowercase...

So all I'm saying
is I would go back

and do the same thing again.

In that moment after the final
test when he brought it up

and he said he felt really hurt.

Yeah, I wasn't hearing him.

And I will I would
admit that I shut off

and I pushed back and I...

I was mad.

You turned it against him.

And whilst he took his ring off,
then you grabbed on to that.

Yeah. And that's not...
I look back on these clips.

I'm like, girl, that's like,
you're way blowing that shit

out of proportion, like...

David, we saw you declaring
your love every which way,

on your knees, standing up,
walking around the room.

Then it was only a couple of
days later that we saw you

deliver your vows and walk away.

What happened in those two days
for you to make that switch?

The last sort of straw for me
was the last dinner party.

I was really trying and fighting
for the relationship,

because I came into this
experiment to change my ways

and actually dropped my ego
and be like,

yo, I'm giving you everything.

Let's see what I can get back.

So that last dinner party
was my last plea.

It breaks my heart
knowing that, you know,

I'm going to hurt this man
that told me he loved me.

And I just couldn't say it back.

We have. We said it
off-camera a couple.

David! Woah!

- Alissa, did you?
- I didn't say I love you.

I never said I loved him.

- It's happened.
- When?

In the apartments.

I know you probably
had a little to drink.

How many times
has this happened?

I'd say twice it's happened.

I never said "I love you."

I said I was falling in love
with you.

But I didn't say I love you,
David.

That's alright.

David, why do you think
it pissed off Alissa so much

that you walked away?

I don't know, I feel
like maybe you wanted

to have the final say.

I didn't want to
have the final say.

Like, I have enough respect
for what we built.

Were you pissed off that

you weren't going to
be able to deliver those?

Or that you were sad because
you were breaking his heart?

No, I wasn't pissed off.

You were pissed off
because you wanted an apology.

Oh, when I got to
the dinner party.

And that was
three weeks later,

after processing how
I felt after that moment.

And so you arrived at anger?

Well, what happens,
first, you hurt.

And then the anger
comes after the hurt.

What comes after anger?
And where are you now?

I'm so happy
in my life right now.

You know, I feel like you
learn a lot about yourself

within that environment.

I could have done better.
I could have let him speak more.

And I should have just
articulated myself

in a better way.

And obviously, I've been
able to move forward

and am so in love and so happy.

And I wouldn't be here
if I hadn't have gone through

what I went through last year,
you know.

Alissa, we have seen that
you're in a new relationship

and we are so excited for you.

How does it feel and where
are you at in your life?

I am so in love.

Never felt like this before
in any previous relationship.

Block your ears.

I thought I knew what
love was and that feeling.

But this is a connection
I can't even describe.

And I feel so lucky to have
this man by my side.

David, are there any
lucky ladies?

Oh, um, I am dating.
Um, I am dating.

Dating multiples or one?

I'm in the dating market.
Let's put it like that.

- The DMs are open!
- Multiples.

Life is great.

That's all I'm going to say.

Well, David and Alissa, thank
you so much for joining us.

We really appreciate your time.

Look, while it didn't work
out for you guys,

there of course, was one couple

that kept our faith
in love alive.

And that was Stella and Filip,

who will be joining us
in just a moment.

But first, let's take
a look back at their magic.

Can't believe we're
at the end here. Like, just...

Yeah.

It's crazy. Like, I actually
do not want to

spend a day without him.

I asked the experts
to be the love story

and my wish got granted.

Decision process for the final
vows is non-existent for me.

I have very clear writing
on the wall.

He's my man.
That's it.

I thought that I was
never going to experience

a love like this.

And I want to be with her
for the rest of my life.

- Hi.
- How are you going, baby?

I came here to look for love.

And what I found
was far more profound.

I found home in you.

Stella, I love you more
than I ever thought possible

and have never felt more
certain of anything.

Stella,

will you marry me?

Tonight I'm not just
walking in with someone.

I'm walking in with my fiance.

Uh, we've been keeping a secret.

I got down on one knee.

Cheers.

When you look at
Stella, what do you see?

My future.

And you, Stella?

Home.

It's been such
a pleasure to witness this

for all three of us.

You're an incredible team,

and we wish you both
all the very best.

- That you very much.
- Thank you. Appreciate it.

Thanks for everything.
Seriously.

I'm actually crying.

I'm not crying.
You're crying.

- Stella and Filip!
- Everyone's crying.

That squeal
when you looked at your ring.

I still can't believe it

because I couldn't wear it for,
like, four months?

No, five? I don't know how long.

- It was just sitting in...
- Show me.

It was just sitting
in the shelf and I'm like,

yes, finally on!

And also there's something,
you have to keep this secret

that you've had for so long.

And like, you know, most people
are keeping a secret of, like,

are we or aren't we together?

And you're keeping a secret of,
like, not only are we together,

we're engaged.

It's really hard.

It was really hard.

Like, yeah, we just had to
literally keep hush hush.

We were hoping that
and we were hopeful that

it wouldn't come out.

The number one rule was do
not just get caught with it

wearing it out in public.
And that's what we did.

I actually forgot
what it looked like.

Now we get acquainted again.
So it's all good.

We can just rock it.

When did you know? Because
I feel like at the end,

it must have been
this moment of like,

I know I'm committed to her.

Like, I know I want
a future with Stella,

but when were you like,
holy moly,

I'm leaving this with a fiance?

I was talking to Mum and Dad,

Dad's, like, Filip,
she's your person.

Like, when I saw mum,
this is how it was

like, you know, like,
when you know, you know,

don't look at what
could go wrong,

what could go right
kind of thing.

And, that was it. Like, after...

Yeah, after the hometown visits,
that's when I really knew that,

yeah, she's my person.

Like, this is happening.

Like, I'm so giddy with, like,
how cute this is.

Yeah. Sometimes you get lost
in the sauce with all the drama,

all the high school stuff.
But it's real.

What we were building
from day dot was real.

You nailed it because,
like, at the end of the day,

very real couples come out
of this.

This changes
your life forever.

It must have been such
an incredibly hard thing

to keep a secret.

But also, I can only
imagine that the nerves

you must have been feeling.

The team did come across this
off-camera

and very unguarded moment

just before you popped the
question.

I was pissing so hard. I was
pissing like a racehorse.

Yeah. So I don't know
if it's... Yeah.

Oh, my god!

Oh, my god.

I love that.

Oh, Lord.

How many nervous wees
did you end up doing?

Eight or nine.

I was standing there
and I'm like, I was so nervous.

Like it was just,
a lot went into it.

I wanted it more than anything.

Like, I just, yeah, I just
wanted it, her to as well,

not think that it was
for the cameras.

Can I just input.

What we saw at the wedding

and what was the big thing of my
friends basically,

are you here
for the right reasons?

That really planted a big
seed in my mind.

For probably half of
the experiment,

I was like, are you here
for the right reasons?

Because it was so in my brain.

But I think that that's
a normal part when you,

especially when you're
a couple that's met on MAFS

or in any reality TV,

you're going to go through those
moments where you're like,

are you here
for the right reason?

Is this real?

And like, actually, oh, it makes
me so emotional because

I got this, you know, like,
I have three beautiful girls

because I got this from
a reality TV show.

And there is a period where
you question and you're like,

is it possible
that this could be real?

Because it feels like it's
an unbelievably lucky thing

to come across.

It makes it feel like
it's you against the world.

And that's what
I have in my husband.

And honestly, like the most
beautiful family I have,

an incredible husband.

And like, that's going to be
you guys in ten years' time.

- How good. Yes.
- Quicker, quicker!

Can I congratulate you
on the new bundle of joy?

Got a puppy!

Where is he?

- It's not a puppy.
- Got ya!

- I just died, OK?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Love the reaction. Love it.

But we know
you don't have the snip.

So it could be real.

It could be real, hey?
We don't know.

- What?
- Nothing.

We got a timer,
we got a timer.

- Someone got this...
- 40.

The dog got the snip.

Someone had to get the snip
Someone's getting the snip.

You know?

Do you feel like this is
a dream come true?

- Yeah.
- I can't believe it.

I actually can't believe it.

But look, we did work
really hard at it, though.

And in saying that, it wasn't
all kittens and rainbows.

Uh, we had serious
discussions at all the time.

We were constantly tested.

It set us up for success,
you know?

Guys, Congratulations.
We love love.

We are absolutely thrilled
for you guys

and we cannot wait to
see what happens next.

And you guys are so lucky.

Not only that you fell in love,

but you can watch your love
story back whenever you want.

I can't wait to see the wedding.

I'm sure it's going to be
spectacular.

- Yeah, can't believe it.
- Such a gift.

Well, that is all we
have time for tonight.

But never fear, we have one more
MAFS special up our sleeve.

It's going to be
a mammoth episode

with fan favourites returning

and a few faces
you never thought

that you were going to
see again.

Tea will be spilt, grievances
aired and rumours debunked.

It will be the juiciest take on
Where Are they Now yet.

That's next Monday,
right here on Stan.

See you then.

Alright.

Jules, take the lid off!

Ahhhh!

Let's go.

- Congrats!
- Thank you very much.
