(DRAMATIC SOUNDTRACK)

NARRATOR: Over 12 weeks ago...

SARA: I have been hurt in the past

and I need someone
to be 100% in for me.

..our hopeful singles

took an enormous leap of faith...

..marrying a complete stranger...

CASSANDRA: I'm so ready
to be happy and in love.

..in the search for true love.

NATALIE: I've dreamt about
this moment all of my life.

(BLEEP)

Was I what you were expecting?

You exceeded expectations.

Really?
OK.

(LAUGHS)

NARRATOR: Then after three months
in the experiment,

our five remaining couples
attended their final dinner party

that led to Eden and Jayden's
incredible milestone.

I love you.

What?

(CHEERING)

Bloody oath, I'm in love

and it was even better
that she said it back.

Cheers to Jono texting Ellie.

NARRATOR: When Jonathan was caught
out texting former bride, Ellie...

There is nothing going on there
at all.

..Lauren let loose...

100 messages?

How do you know?

Because I saw!

You are a joke.

..and the arrival of the honesty box

could not have come at a worse time
for Jonathan.

"How do you feel about me
right now?"

I think you're a snake.

"Do I live up to your expectations
in a partner?"

No.

NARRATOR: Then it was the last
chance for our final five couples

to answer the tough questions...

"Are you falling in love with me?"

"Do you trust that I'm in this
for the long haul?"

"How attracted are you
to me sexually?"

..before they leave
for their final vow ceremonies.

"Do you believe
that I am over my ex?"

Oh!
(CLEARS THROAT)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

NARRATOR: Tonight...

..after nearly three months...

JADE: Ridge definitely makes me feel
like I can have my fairytale.

..it's time for the final vows...

JACK: Anything's on the cards today.

..where the first three couples
will decide...

JADE: But I do worry
about my daughter

and whether or not
he is mature enough.

..whether they will stay together
beyond the experiment...

LAUREN: 'Cause I did feel like
I was with someone

that was putting on
a bit of a facade.

..and following Jonathan's
recent betrayal...

LAUREN: That's when I start
transitioning from being, "Poor me",

to "Now, I'm pissed."

..just what will Lauren say
to Jonathan at their final vows?

You had the audacity to blame me.

JACK: I don't want to stay
and waste anyone's time

if it's not going to work out,

but ultimately, I need to do
what's right for me.

If he hurts her, I'll kill him.

NARRATOR: Is this the blindside
Tori has been dreading?

TORI: I don't think Jack's
going to reject me.

If he did, I don't know
what I would do.

Tori, I'm sorry to say,

we are not in love,

so how can I commit to you

and ask you to uproot and move
your life to the Gold Coast?

(UPLIFTING SOUNDTRACK)

NARRATOR: Today marks the end
of the experiment

for our five remaining couples.

Eden and Jayden...

..Sara and Tim...

..Tori and Jack...

Now, what?

Now, what do I do?

This yours, babe?
What is it?

..Jade and Ridge...

No, it's not mine.

What other girls
have you had in here?

(LAUGHTER)

..and Lauren and Jonathan.

They have all made the decision
to go all the way to final vows,

and today, they will say
their goodbyes

and spend time apart to consider
the future of their relationship

and whether they will continue
as a couple beyond the experiment.

Wait a second.

Oh, yeah. We've got to take
one of those, hey?

NARRATOR: They will then reveal
their decision

when they meet again at final vows.

One for you and one for me.

Ooh! Can't forget those.

The final vows is the last phase
of the experiment.

Our couples must now go back
to their respective homes

to reflect on their time
in the experiment

before they make
the life-changing decision

on whether to remain as a couple
or go their separate ways.

This time will prove testing
for our couples

as they will begin to question

if their relationship
will be strong enough

to continue when they leave
the bubble of the experiment.

NARRATOR: For Jade and Ridge,

the reality of saying goodbye
to the experiment and each other

is starting to set in.

I'm a bit sad.

How are you going to cope
without me? (LAUGHS)

Yeah, look, I think I'll get
separation anxiety pretty bad.

(CHUCKLES)

I'm so used to waking up and seeing
you there.

Yeah, I know. 100%.

It's definitely been
an unreal experience, babe,

and I'm really happy
that I got to do it with you.

Made all the difference.

People have the things they want
to say about the experiment,

how they reckon it's all crap.

But having lived through it now,

I can honestly,
hand over heart, say

that it does work
because look at us.

You can't fake the feelings
that I have for you.

Yeah, I'm definitely all in
with Jade

and I need to prove that to her.

I'm actually, like, really into her.

I don't really want anyone else
but her.

She definitely makes me feel
a certain way

that, you know, most girls haven't,

so she makes me excited
for the future.

Big time.

I feel like the honesty box

was a good finish to last night
as well

'cause obviously, like,
I would never tell you these things

if I didn't have to.

Alright, Ridge and Jade.
All attention on you.

"Jade, describe how you feel
about me."

I feel like I like you a lot.

You've made it very hard for me
not to get feelings.

But I feel like you've really come
in here

and, like, literally,
like, swept me off my feet

with everything you've done.

Do you want me a part of your life
and V's?

Yes.

OK.

(APPLAUSE)

The honesty box made me so horny
for you.

(SOUNDTRACK DEFLATES)

Oh.

OK.
Boner,

like an affection erection.
I got one for you bad last night.

What is wrong with you?
What?

It was really wholesome, babe.

I'll never get used
to some of the things he says.

(LAUGHS)

But I do love his stupid silly side
though.

(LAUGHTER)

You know that melting emoji? That...

(LAUGHTER)

Obviously, I can joke a lot,

but I'm trying to show her
another side of me,

you know, the more serious side.

Having a background
as a trained psychiatric nurse,

you have to mature quick.

It's a very unique career.

It's not for everyone,

but it's really helped me
in terms of my relationships.

I can be serious
when it comes down to it

and I need her to know that.

I started looking at jobs
at Queensland Health this morning.

(LAUGHS) Did you?

So, I'll be on the lookout
for some psych jobs up there.

I have never been in a situation
like this before.

I've also never felt this way
about a girl before.

NARRATOR: But before they say
their goodbyes,

the experts have a surprise
for Jade and Ridge.

Look what I got.

NARRATOR: A look back
at where it all began

with their wedding video.

Are you ready?

Oh, it's our wedding day!

(ROMANTIC MUSIC SWELLS)

Hey, how are you? I'm Ridge.
Hello. I'm Jade.

Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.

You look gorgeous.
Thank you. You too.

Go for it.

A few weeks ago,
I told my best friend

I wanted an arranged marriage

and have the love of my life
handed to me on a platter.

So, here I am, hopefully standing
in front of him,

feeling very nervous.

The wedding video definitely made me
feel very emotional.

It made me realise,
like, how far Ridge and I have come

from being complete strangers
to where we are today.

RIDGE: I definitely got
a bit choked up seeing that video

just because, like, all the emotions
just came back through.

Yeah, it definitely hit me
in the feels.

Such a special day

and it's a day we're both going
to remember

for the rest of our lives.

CELEBRANT: Congratulations.
You may now kiss.

(MUSIC SWELLS)

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

Oh, that was really cute!
Oh, that was actually really cute.

Are you good? You crying?

No, my eyes are watering.

(LAUGHS)

I want this to last, babe.

I really do and, like,
just seeing this now,

it (BLEEP) hit me
in the feels bad, hey?

Oh! Shit.

I don't want to have to imagine life
without you

and that's why I want to do
everything I can to make it work.

OK?

(CHUCKLES)

Ridge means a lot more to me
than I expected he would...

..and I appreciate every second
I've spent with him.

Bye.

Bye.
See you soon, alright?

Mm-hm.
OK.

So, you're flying home,
that's where we're going, yeah?

It definitely is hard
saying goodbye.

Um, like, it's going to be
a sad flight home.

Bye, darling.
Bye.

NARRATOR: While Jade and Ridge
are dreading their time apart,

it's a very different story
with Lauren and Jonathan

who are spending the last morning
of the experiment

in separate apartments

after last night's
explosive dinner party.

Lauren and I are not in a very good
place at the moment.

That's probably putting it lightly.

Last night got really ugly.

Woke up today feeling shitty.

It's making sick to just think
about it, to be honest.

Cheers to Jono texting Ellie.

JAYDEN: Ooh!

I like that!

I really hoped that the outcome
last night

was that Jono was going
to be accountable to the group,

be accountable to me,

and we could figure out
a way around this.

But Jono was not accountable
to me or the group,

and it went up in flames.

JAYDEN: You've messaged
other people that have left.

You've messaged them
to the same extent, yeah?

Not to that P 100 messages?

How do you know?

Because I saw!

I was just so hurt.

I thought we had good times.

Like, I thought we were doing
really well,

like, like, I can't believe
you were messaging Ellie,

like, after Perth homestays.

I think I've just been
completely blindsided.

Do you think you would've, like,
had a better experience

if you were matched with Ellie,
like, in all seriousness?

If I was matched with anyone else
in this experiment,

I feel like I would have had
a much easier time.

Ooh!
Ooh! Wow!

I mean, this just puts
all of those texts

in a whole new light.
Yeah.

Absolutely do not trust you.

I feel like you've completely
thrown me under the bus.

That's your opinion,
which I don't care about anymore.

What, you don't care about
my opinion?

No!

There was no, like, remorse
or, like, anything in him.

He was, like,
god damn Patrick Bateman.

He was like Australian Psycho.

This is such a betrayal.
Like it's...

The most disloyal person
I've ever met in my life.

I'm actually just really angry.

I think a lot of things were said

that were pretty hard
to come back from.

Especially, for someone else

that's messaging someone else
behind my back.

I'm just not going to do that.

I have got a really low tolerance
for bullshit at this point.

Packed up everything today.

Can't wait to get the (BLEEP) out
of this shit show.

That's...

That's my honest opinion. (LAUGHS)

That was the most honest thing
I've said.

NARRATOR: Before they leave
the experiment,

Lauren and Jonathan's wedding video
has been sent to both apartments

to help them reflect
on their time together...

Oh, boy.

..before they separate

in anticipation of seeing each other
again for final vows.

The music kills me. Seriously.

(DELICATE MAGICAL MUSIC)

Oh, I look cute.

(CHUCKLES)

Oh, wow.

She's actually good-looking.
(LAUGHS)

"She's actually good-looking."

Hey, how are you doing?
Hi! How are you?

I'm Jonathan.
Nice to meet you.

I actually got these
out of the grass...

(LAUGHTER)
..'cause I forgot my bouquet.

I really do come across
very (BLEEP) crazy, hey? (LAUGHS)

Lauren...

I have a big sense of humour
and I love to laugh.

Good.
I am fluent in sarcasm.

Great.

Sometimes I can go too far.

Well, that never happened.

Oh, my god. I wrote this
when I was drunk, so...

(LAUGHTER)

I'm spontaneous, fun,
extremely passionate and loyal.

"Loyal." Key word.

Google that word, Jono.

I'm excited to see
what this adventure has in store

for the two of us
complete nuts jobs.

(LAUGHTER)

I remember saying,

"God, I think they've actually
found me the one.

"I think this could be it.",

and to go from that

to sort of where we're at now,

is really disappointing.
(APPLAUSE)

Very well done.
(APPLAUSE)

You did that so well.
Thank you.

CELEBRANT: Lauren and Jonathan,

now you have entrusted your hearts
to one another.

You're husband and wife.

Please seal your love with a kiss.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

Ew! (LAUGHS)

Where do we go now? We go!
Alright, see ya!

(APPLAUSE)
GUEST: No, don't run.

(LAUGHTER)

You did so good.

Thank you. So did you.

Oh!

That was lovely.

(LAUGHS)

Jono was just as boring as ever,
but...

We had the most amazing day.

It's so sad that things
have gone so badly.

But yeah, we had
the most amazing day.

It was really nice.

Thank you, experts,

for rubbing in my face
how bad it is now.

NARRATOR: It's the last day
of living together

for the experiment's
most controversial couple,

Tori and Jack.

Look.

(CHUCKLES)

It's us.
I want one.

Are you going to put this
beside your bed?

You bet.

NARRATOR: Despite the many questions
that have hung over Jack

and if his feelings are genuine
towards his wife,

Tori has remained steadfast

in her commitment to their marriage
and Jack throughout the experiment.

Jack and I have come so far.

We've...

I feel like we've, like, weathered
life's hardest storm.

I know we have absolutely had
some lows,

but the lows aren't
between him and I.

The lows are him and I
versus the experiment.

What makes their relationship fake?

The sex thing. You know?

Jack's a sexual person.

You're a sexual person.

It's not happening.

Tori, open your eyes!

Please don't insult my intelligence.

I don't care how it looks.

We know what it is
and we are confident in that.

I'm not an idiot

and if I felt like I was being
led down the garden path,

and if I felt like
Jack wasn't into me,

I promise you,
I wouldn't be sitting here,

so whatever anyone else has to say,

god bless. That's your opinion.

Tori, are you for real?

Am I for real?

Yes!

Yeah.

After what has been going on
throughout this experiment

with Jack's behaviour towards women,

towards people in the group,
towards you?

Do I accept his wrongdoings? No.

But I don't hold them against him.

It was like a barrage of shit
for 12 weeks.

Every time we did get,

like, a new, you know, round
of grilling and roasting,

we banded closer together

and, you know, an attraction comes
from supporting one another.

We have come a long way

and I would say that I am falling
in love with Jack.

There's no doubts there.

We've not actually spoken
about this.

Final vows.

Oh, yeah. That'll be the...
What are you going to say to me?

That'll be the next time I see you.

Do you know what you're going
to say?

Oh, I think I...

Surely, you can give me,
like, a little hint.

Like, am I going to be like...

A little bit of a...
Like a...

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

Yeah, no, it'll be wild.

Shit.

I do feel quite infatuated with Jack

and Jack has made me feel
really comfortable

to kind of break through

a really hard, stern exterior
that I've had.

I've never felt this vulnerable.

This is our first...

..time apart.

(CHUCKLES)

I can remember being here,
being like, "I don't...

"I'm not a codependent person.",

and I feel like the way
I'm acting right now

is like, it's giving co-dependency
and it's disgusting.

(LAUGHS)

Disgusting.

Definitely seeing a different Tori
to last week...

OK, sir.
..coming in to the end.

Tori has started wigging out
a little bit,

ever since, like, probably a week,
a week and a bit ago.

What you're saying
is if he doesn't reciprocate this,

if he doesn't come back to you...
I'll close up. Yeah.

..you'll close up for good.

You've never said that,

that you would close up
if this didn't work out,

and I do have concerns
that I'm going to let you down.

I'm 34 and single,

so, you know, I've let people
down before.

Now, it's started putting
this pressure on me.

If you want to go, like, go now.

I think Tori has a lot
of expectation.

It's making me nervous.

It puts more pressure onto me
and my decision.

Tori is very sweet
and I do care for her.

But ultimately, I need to do
what's right for me and my future,

so I've got away all this up.

The experiment's one thing,
but this is real life now.

Like, there's no turning back.

It's a massive decision to make.

Home time.

(CHUCKLES) I've got to leave you.

TORI: Saying goodbye to him was...

..not nice.

And I have been coexisting
so seamlessly

in this space with this human
I now call my husband,

and I'm going to miss him.

I think it will hit me
when I'm, like,

sitting in the corner
at the airport, bawling my eyes out.

Bye.
Bye.

JACK: This is going to be hard
on Tori,

but as much as I love Skye
and this experiment,

I can't wait to leave it behind me.

I believe, like, absence makes
the heart grow fonder, so let's see.

(SIGHS) Oh, god.

NARRATOR: With the impending
final vows

weighing heavily on their minds,

the first three couples have left
Skye Suites for some time alone...

..to contemplate whether to continue
their relationship

beyond the experiment

or leave their marriages for good.

NARRATOR: In Sydney,
Ridge has wasted no time

catching up for cocktails
with his mate, Chris...

Oh, yeah.
Ooh!

..who is shocked to see
the change in Ridge's maturity

after his time in the experiment.

If you asked me when I first came
onto the experiment...

Yeah.
..if I would move for the girl

who I was going to be matched with,

obviously, I would have said,
"F no."

Yeah, I know you would've. Yeah.
Massive no.

But I can't deny the connection
I do have...

Yeah.
..with Jade.

It's obviously strong.
It's good.

I didn't think I was ever going
to go into this experiment,

like, feeling the way I do for her.

Really?
Yeah, man.

What?
Yeah.

Seriously, wake me up
when it's all over.

I have never seen Ridge this way

and I don't know
what she's done to him

or if she's cast a spell over him,

but this is strange, so that's how
you know he's really into Jade.

So, she's changed your whole outlook
on this experiment.

She changed my whole outlook
on a relationship.

Wow.

So, you've found love.

Man, I haven't dropped
the L-bomb yet.

I was close, man.
Man, who is this bloke?

(LAUGHTER)

Man, bring back Ridge!

Yeah, where did Ridge go?

I've never seen him like this.

He's changed.

He's done a full 180.

It's a very different Ridge.

She's even made him change his look.

I mean, he's looking like
Tony Montana now with the chains.

(LAUGHTER)

I'm finally in a position
where I do like a girl

and I did say if I did meet
a girl who I was, like, that into

and I could see a future with,

that I'd do everything and anything
I could to make it work.

Seeing my mates happy
is very important to me

and you know, that's what matters
at the end of the day.

If he's happy and if he's confident
in his decision,

then I'll back him 100%,
so I just hope he follows his heart.

I would miss ya, I would.

Like, we've been best friends
for so long.

But it's a sign of us growing up,
I guess...

Oh, man.
..which sucks.

(LAUGHTER)

Oh, god.

(PENSIVE SOUNDTRACK)

NARRATOR: On the Gold Coast,

Jade has returned
to her family home.

JADE: It definitely feels
really good being home.

However, it feels empty
without Ridge.

Ridge definitely makes me feel
like I can have my fairytale.

(MUSIC SWELLS)

(LAUGHTER)

She's everything that I've wanted
in a partner. She has it all.

Oh!

I love that!

Just know that you deserve someone
to treat you well and...

(LAUGHS)

Don't.
(CHUCKLES)

You guys are so cute.

LUCINDA: Are you guys still
absolutely adoring each other?

I'm still the love heart emojis
every time I see her. So, yeah.

(CHUCKLES)

Gotcha.

JADE: And like now, I'm just having
the best time.

I don't know what to tell you,
really, like... (LAUGHS)

I would say Ridge and I
are basically meant to be.

NARRATOR: With final vows
around the corner,

this is Jade's last chance to have
a heart-to-heart with her mum,

to share the happy news
that she thinks Ridge is the one.

Thank you.

I do see, like, a future with Ridge.

Yeah.

His personality, the affection,

like, the playfulness, everything.

He has made me feel

like I am the most important person
in his life.

But bear in mind,
it's only been five weeks.

I know that.

It's all sunshine and roses now.

You know, you're all in this bubble.

Yeah.
What about after the bubble?

Yeah.
Then you're back to reality.

Is he ready to walk into a family?

NARRATOR: Still to come...

I didn't think this was an issue.

(LAUGHS)

NARRATOR: One of the most intense
final vows ever seen...

I know it's not me. It's you.

..and...

I'm concerned that our biggest
connecting factor

may have been the brutal environment
of the experiment

where our loyal personalities
bonded like teammates.

NARRATOR: Is this the blindside
Tori has been dreading?

I'm sorry to say, I didn't commit
myself to this process

for a platonic relationship,
nor a teammate.

(EXHALES SHARPLY)

NARRATOR: With final vows
fast approaching,

Jade is having a last-minute
catch-up with her mum

to discuss her hopes
for a future with Ridge

who she believes is the one.

I do see, like, a future with Ridge.

Yeah.

His personality, the affection,

like, the playfulness, everything.

He has made me feel

like I am the most important person
in his life.

But bear in mind,
it's only been five weeks.

I know that.

It's all sunshine and roses now.

You know, you're all in this bubble.

Yeah.
What about after the bubble?

Yeah.
Then you're back to reality.

Mum definitely caught me off guard.

I don't know, I was not expecting
her reaction.

Is he ready to walk into a family?

Because you and Victoria are family.

You come as a package deal.

Is he really ready for that?

That's my biggest concern.

But then I just feel
like you don't really...

..know until, like, it's put
to the test.

Well, that's what concerns me.

I just don't want you
to get hurt again.

Like, I've told you that
so many times.

I just don't want you
to get hurt again.

I just need you to think
about this...

..so desperately that I -

yeah, so you know exactly
what you're doing.

I definitely will.

I have seen Jade get hurt

and the pain she goes through,

yeah, I think that's...

I just don't want to see her
like that

because I just think

when is it Jade's time
for her to just be happy now?

I just want Jade to have
a happy life now

and just move forward.

I just think you need
to sit long and hard,

and really think about things.

Yeah.

(UPLIFTING MUSIC SWELLS)

NARRATOR: Today's the day
of final vows

where Jade and Ridge
must make a choice.

Will they commit to a future
together beyond the experiment...

..or walk away forever?

RIDGE: Final vows is here.

Jade's got everything that I've ever
asked for in a partner.

I asked for it from the experts
and they gave it to me.

I thank them for my dream girl.

I have grown feelings for this girl
very quickly.

I'm starting to feel these things
I've never felt for a girl before.

It's... Yeah, it's scary.

She does bring out the best version
of myself.

I didn't even know if this version
of myself existed

up until I met her,

and obviously, I came
from a boys-boys background

where partying and going out
was what I did all the time.

But now, I'm starting to think
about my future.

She hasn't changed me.

She's adjusted me and refined me...

..which I do adore in her

because no one else has been able
to tame the beast.

(LAUGHS)

JADE: Today's decision, I feel
like there is a lot to think about.

My feelings for Ridge
are definitely unexpected.

I have never dated anyone
like Ridge before.

He has gone above and beyond,

like, giving me affection,
attention.

He definitely goes the extra mile
to make me feel special,

which I've never had from a partner.

But after talking to my mum,

some of the questions I ask myself

are whether or not he is ready
to be a good father-figure-to-be.

I do worry about my daughter

and whether Ridge can step up

because I don't want her
to get attached to someone

and then have them let her down
as well.

(MUSIC BUILDING)

NARRATOR: Next...

I've waited 28 years for you

and don't want to waste
any more time

because I can't wait to start
our own little fairytale together.

NARRATOR: Has Ridge done enough
to assure Jade

that he is ready
for a lifelong commitment?

I struggled to understand
your childlike humour and behaviour.

I worry that you'll let me down
by running away

because you'll realise
you're not ready,

and that would break my heart.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(QUIET PENSIVE SOUNDTRACK)

(MUSIC BUILDING)

(EXHALES)

Hey, gorgeous.

You OK?
Yeah.

Are you nervous?
Yeah.

Shall we start?

OK.

Here goes nothing.

Jade, I firstly wanted to thank you

for coming along on this wild
journey with me.

It's crazy to think how much
we've grown as individuals

and together, since the day
you met the king of the jungle

at Taronga Zoo all those weeks ago.

Standing at the end of the aisle
waiting for you...

..my palms were sweaty...

..I felt hot...

..and this was probably the most
nervous I ever felt in my life.

Then I turned to face you...

..and I thought
that you were gorgeous...

(MUSIC BUILDING)

..and I just might give you
the chance

to get to know the real me.

Hello.

Hey, how are you? I'm Ridge.
Hello. I'm Jade.

Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.

Are you good? You look gorgeous.
Thank you. You too.

Worth the wait.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.
(CHUCKLES)

As we got to the latter stages
of the experiment...

..it became obvious to me

that I would have to be the one
to uproot my entire life

to make this relationship work.

I would have to give up my job,

move away from my friends
and family,

and leave the only city
I've ever called home,

which is obviously a lot for me.

It did make me question
if I did really want to leave it all

for a girl I met
just nine weeks ago.

Jade...

In the time we've spent together,

you've managed to bring out
an even better version of myself,

one I wasn't even sure existed.

You've helped me mature
from a boys' boy

to the type of man
I hope you'd be proud to have,

not just in your life,
but in V's too.

You've shown me what it truly means
to be vulnerable,

to open up, and to allow someone
to make me feel something serious

for the first time in my life.

I remember in your friend's
wedding speech,

she said you needed someone
who'd be obsessed with you.

When I first heard it,
I straight away thought,

"Well, she isn't going to be
the one for me

"because I'd never be like that."

But I can say this from my heart,

that I'm 100% obsessed with you.

(MUSIC SWELLS)

Coming into this experiment,

I was hesitant
and I wasn't expecting much.

However, I'm confident I see
a future with you

and I'm so happy
that the experts matched us.

I stand here today,

ready to make the move up
to the Gold Coast for you.

My plan is to move up
and be with you

within the next three months.

I've waited 28 years for you

and I don't want to waste
any more time

because I can't wait to start
our own little fairytale together.

That was really cute.

Thanks, honey.

I really liked
what you put in there.

Did you like it?
Yeah.

You did well.

Thanks, babe.

Oh, gosh. Does this mean
it's my turn?

You're up.

OK.

Ridge, well, where do I start?

I remember our wedding day.

I was feeling a mixture of emotions.

Nerves, excitement and happiness.

But when you turned around
for the first time

and I saw your smile,

I began to feel more at ease.

I thought the experts
might have actually got this right.

But at the start
of the experiment...

..I really struggled to see
your true potential.

I questioned your maturity levels
at times.

I struggled to understand
your childlike humour and behaviour.

I really didn't like it.

I came into this wanting
a mature partner,

to be looked after,

rather than being a parent
to my partner.

So, I questioned if we were
really suited as a couple.

I came into this experiment
as a package deal.

The most important thing
in my life is my daughter, V.

She's not only my daughter,
but also my best friend,

and introducing you to her
was a big deal to me.

When you met V,
it was smooth sailing.

This was huge for me

because I don't want another man
coming into V's life

and leaving again.

I need commitment and reassurance,

and a partner in it
for the long haul.

I worry that you'll let me down
by running away

because you'll realise
you're not ready,

and that would break my heart.

In the past, I have expected
the best and received the worst,

and the pain I've experienced

is something I never want to feel
in a relationship again.

I know I'm worth more than that.

I firmly believe that everything
happens for a reason

and I have no doubts in my mind

that everything I have been through
was worth it

to have you standing here
in front of me.

Oh, that's really cute.

You have shown me what it's like
to believe in a fairytale ending.

I am all in on this.

I am here for you no matter what.

I am confident the experts
got it right and you are my person.

I stand here today, walls down,

and can't wait to continue
this wild ride with you.

You're stuck with me now.

I'm ready to take this leap of faith
with you, so don't mess it up.

I won't.
(CHUCKLES)

(UPLIFTING SOUNDTRACK)

That was really cute.
Thanks.

That was really cute.

I worked really hard on them.
(LAUGHS)

That was cute.

I won't mess it up. I won't.

I adore you, babe.

You know that?

I know.
I do.

Shall we go?
Yeah.

Let's go.

Don't fall.

Oh!

PRODUCER: How are you feeling?

Good.

Obviously, she's very descriptive,

but yeah, feeling as good
as a dog with two dicks.

I got the girl.

(UPLIFTING MUSIC)

Is it too late to change my mind?
(LAUGHS)

(LAUGHS)

JADE: Obviously, we need to plan
for the future

and get things moving.

Otherwise, you're dumped.

(UPLIFTING MUSIC)

We did it, we made it.

We're playing Marvin Gaye tonight.

Can't wait.

Let's go.

NARRATOR: Still to come...

Hi.

You ready for this?

"Hello" would've been normal.

NARRATOR: Lauren speaks her mind.

No, it's not me. It's you.

NARRATOR: Plus...

I don't know the guy.

But if he hurts her,

I'll kill him.

NARRATOR: Should Tori's mother
be worried

as Jack makes his decision
about a potential future with Tori?

(QUIET PENSIVE MUSIC)

NARRATOR: Away from the experiment,

Lauren is still carrying the scars

of the final dinner party

where it was revealed
that husband, Jonathan,

had been texting former bride,
Ellie.

LAUREN: It's so good to be having
a lay apart from Jono.

When someone that you've been
close with

and you've been building
something with for nearly 12 weeks

turns around and says,
"I don't even like you",

especially when they've been telling
you the whole time that they do,

is such a kick in the teeth.

I always ignore red flags.

Like, if I see a red flag,

I, like, literally come running
at it.

I'm like, yeah, red flag.
I'm the worst.

So, like, I really did come
into this experiment

to break that cycle,
that red flag cycle,

almost like a last-ditch effort
to give a really nice guy a go...

..and so, when I met Jono,

I definitely thought
that this person

could balance me out,

this could be the person
that could be the calm to my storm.

I really thought that we had
a good chance

and I was really excited.

I could really see myself
getting along

and making something more long-term.

Throughout the experiment,

there was, like, a lot
of opportunities for us

to be able to, like, progress
into something more.

(APPLAUSE)

Thank (BLEEP).

I'm excited!

(CHUCKLES)
(SQUEALS)

This will be fun.
Yeah, it's going to be fun.

Hi!
Hello.

For me, you know,
when I did like him,

it was genuine, it was real,
and I thought we had something good.

But since day one,

we were always lacking
a bit of that fire and passion.

You give me no passion,
you give me nothing.

You just give me, like, autopilot.

What is going on?

I feel like I'm with a robot.

JONATHAN: Being apart from Lauren
in the last few days

has been amazing.

The further I get away from Lauren,
the better I feel.

Throughout the experiment,

Lauren has taken
every opportunity to...

..make things I've done
look worse than what they are.

I've gone over the relationship
in my mind a million times

and I realise that, like, a list
of things

that, like, have kind of sparked
my women's intuition from day one.

Who do you think's hot though?

Ellie's really lovely.

And she's got massive titties
and I know you're a titty man.

(LAUGHS)

And then how hard
Jono would go at Ben

in commitment ceremonies
and at dinner parties.

I'm at a stage where I'm ready
to settle down.

If kids are after that, yeah.

That's not a yes or no answer.

Well, it's not a yes or no question.

It is. It is!

It is!

I don't understand Ben.

(LAUGHS)

Like, he had this beautiful,
lovely girl.

I kind of want to slap him.

Like, stop ruining this amazing
opportunity been given.

And just little looks here
and there.

Just a few small examples like that.

I just feel like I didn't trust him,

there was something
I didn't trust,

and, you know,
I think my gut instincts

has turned out to be pretty spot on

because it turns out

he was messaging Ellie
the whole time.

The next thing,
he's going to be asking her

for feet pics and a box shot.

I hate that she chose
to make me look bad

with the messages with Ellie
when she knew it was innocent.

She knew there was nothing there.

Ellie and I are barely even friends.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

I did feel like I was with someone

that was putting on
a bit of a facade,

but now, I'm realising

why he was doing the things
he was doing and saying,

and acting like he was acting.

It's because he was, like, starting
a relationship with someone else.

That's when I start transitioning

from being like just hurt
and, like, "Oh, poor me",

to, like, "Now, I'm pissed."

I didn't want to be involved
with this level of absolute (BLEEP).

JONATHAN: Going all black today
seemed to be the vibe,

a bit grim, so yeah,

kind of more funeral-esque
than wedding,

but it seemed appropriate.

Final vows is going to be
a horribly awkward experience

that I'm not looking forward to
at all.

(PENSIVE SOUNDTRACK)

(TENSE SOUNDTRACK)

(MUSIC BUILDING)

(SILENCE)

(CLEARS THROAT)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Hi.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)

You ready for this?

"Hello" would've been normal.

(MUSIC CRESCENDOS)

(PENSIVE SOUNDTRACK)

(CLEARS THROAT)

(TENSE SOUNDTRACK)

Hi.

You ready for this?

A "Hello" would've been normal.

(TENSE SOUNDTRACK)

Whatever.

OK.

Lauren...

The first day I met you

was one of the best days
I've had in years.

I turned around to see
a beautiful woman

with striking blue eyes.

You were cracking me up

before you even made it down
the aisle

and I did develop feelings
for you instantly.

I came into this experiment

with the feeling that I was going
to be one of the lucky ones

who found a forever partner.

I couldn't believe it.

I kept saying to the experts,
they've actually done it.

They've found my match.

In the following weeks,
we had some good days,

but mostly, the days were not
enjoyable for either of us,

and I felt like your walls were up
and you didn't want to hear from me.

I feel like you viewed everything
I did through a negative lens.

You would say I wasn't assertive,
that I was boring and robotic,

you said in your vows
that you'll support and respect me.

I don't really feel
like you ever respected me.

However, I kept trying
because I was hopeful.

When we went to Perth for homestays,
it was an incredible few days.

I felt closer to you
than I had since our wedding day.

I thought from the affection
you were showing me

that perhaps I was finally
breaking down your walls

and maybe winning you over.

I saw hope and it made me happy.

(TENSE SOUNDTRACK)

At the next commitment ceremony,

it was mentioned
that I'd been messaging Ellie.

I didn't think this was an issue.

You snatched my phone off me

and pretended like the messages
with Ellie were flirty.

They were not.

Seeing you so willing
to lie like that

to make me look bad
astonished me,

and by lying to the whole group
to make me look bad,

you showed you don't support me
and it makes me deeply upset.

This is when I knew
you weren't the person for me.

(LAUGHS)

Sorry. That is just laughable.

Keep going.

I do wish you all the best
in this crazy journey we call life.

Great. Thanks for sharing.

(SIGHS) Jono...

I'm going to deviate
from my expected acerbic tone

and adopt an approach
a little more foreign to me.

I went all out for you today
and managed to find my heart.

So, in honour of this discovery,
I'm going to speak to you from it.

Our wedding day was magical.

Everything I expected and more.

The chemistry and immediate
attraction was palpable

and I felt like the experts
had got it right.

When I saw you standing
at the end of the aisle,

all my concerns, reservations,

and outside noise and cynicism
melted away.

Although we had our ups and downs,

we were both willing
to give it our absolute all.

At least, that's what it seemed.

Our homestay visit, to me,

was the absolute highlight
of our relationship.

I felt like I could truly see

some kind of future together
outside of this experiment

and it was exciting.

And then, of course,
it all came crashing down.

It was brought to my attention

that you had been continuing
to build some kind of relationship

with another bride...

..one that you hid from me,

then had the audacity to blame
me for when you were exposed.

My world felt like it had
come crashing down around me.

Instead of taking accountability
at the final dinner party,

you chose to try
and flip the script on me,

blame me for not caring,
never liking you,

and not been here
for the right reasons.

Although you completely
wasted my time

in terms of finding
a romantic partner,

you taught me that I should always
trust my gut.

Jono, I don't see a future with you,

and no, it's not me.

It's you.

(CHUCKLES)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

That was amazing.

I think it was just amazing
to, like, get out everything

that I had been thinking
and feeling,

and, you know, all these, like,
unresolved feelings

of, like, is this my fault
or is it his fault?

Like, I realised it wasn't me.

It was all him,

and the part where he was, like,
"You lied, you lied."

It was like, well, actually you lied

when you carried on a relationship
with another bride,

so don't try and turn it on me,
mate.

I did nothing wrong.

I've apologised,
she hasn't excepted it.

I'm tired of apologising
for things I haven't even done.

(GROANS)

I don't think Lauren wants to find
a forever partner at all.

But I do, so I'll take a bit of time

and then when I'm ready,
I'll start looking again.

I want to find that special someone.

I think I deserve those things

and I'm going to look for it,
and I'm going to find it.

Oh!

NARRATOR: Next...

Decision day has arrived
for Tori and Jack.

What a day.

(LIVELY SOUNDTRACK)

NARRATOR: Tori is catching up
with her mum, Mel...

Hello! Hi, my baby.

..who she's not seen
since her wedding day

where Jack left quite an impression
on the mother of the bride.

Hello.

You're brilliant!
She's going to love you.

Are you Mum?
Yes!

Oh, hello. Jack.
Oh, darls!

Jack. Nice to meet you.
Welcome.

Thank god. He's very handsome
and very sweet.

I mean, he's charming.

Wow!

I do indeed have a crush on Jack.

Do you know what? Even if it doesn't
work, you just come home with Mumma.

(LAUGHTER)

GUEST: You can marry Mum instead!

It's nice to be home.

It's glad. I'm glad you're home.

How are you?

Um, I feel good to be back.

Do you miss him?

Yeah, I do miss him
and I wanted to feel this.

Like, this is reassuring for me.
Correct.

Because had you have said,
"Not really.",

I would've gone, "Well..."

Yeah, he's probably, like,
my absolute equal in a person...

(HEARTWARMING SOUNDTRACK)

..and we want the same things
in life,

and we are, I would say, like,
pretty closely,

pretty close to perfect match.

It's a really nice feeling.

It's a very P like, I feel
quite secure with him.

Yeah.

NARRATOR: While Tori deliberates
with her mum,

on the Gold Coast, Jack is meeting
a client at the pub.

Hey, buddy.
Hey, how's it going?

What's going on, man?
Oh, man.

How have you been?
It's been ages. Yeah.

It's been so long.

So, how's it all been going?

Mate, she definitely
has serious feelings.

She's falling, you know?
Yep. Oh, wow.

She's infatuated...
Yeah.

..and I can tell,

'cause we've been under the bus
a fair bit

and she's supported
and she fought for me,

and she fought for us
the entire time.

She's never wavered.
Yeah, wow.

Man, that's pretty strong value.

Yeah, it's massive.

And that's a pretty big one for you.
Yeah.

Although we've had
a really good three months,

Jack's been involved

in some really, like, shitty things
that he's said and that he's done.

There was the article in week one.

I've got a disgruntled ex,
basically.

The article said that Jack

had a job in America
for three months

and you had told her that...
Yes. Oh, yeah!

..which was a lie.

TORI: The shitty comments
in week two.

I'm not talking to you, Lauren!
Shut your mouth!

Can you muzzle your woman?

Muzzle your woman?

Muzzle your woman?

TORI: Then it was the fallout
of the shitty comments

in week three.

Why do you think it is
that in that moment,

under that pressure,

you went straight to a comment
that was degrading to women?

I've never said "Muzzle" before
to a woman in my life.

My family would be appalled,
my sisters would be appalled.

TORI: And then making
shitty comments.

When we were at the pool yesterday,

you had the (BLEEP) audacity

to walk in and go, "Oh, what?
Are the whales here today?"

WOMAN: Wow!

If the whale comment's
kind of a body image attack,

then that's just not right.
That's body shaming!

Like, that's not on at all.

TORI: It's been a tough ride.

So, let me... Let me ask you this.

So, you've told me

that at the dinner parties
and stuff, he's copped it,

like, Jack's copped it hard.

Hmm.
Yeah?

And the girls have been saying,

you know, "Tori, is he genuine?"

"Is he this? Is he that?"

Do you...

Do you think there's
any weight in it?

Um, so, when you're, like, I guess,
told the same thing

or asked the same thing
over and over again,

you do think to yourself,

like, "Shit, like, are they
onto something?"

Hmm.
Um...

..and I would say,
I've had, like, moments

of, like,
"Are they onto something?"

Yeah.

But I always revert back

to people in the experiment

aren't really in a position
to give me marriage advice.

So, I respectfully don't care
what they have to say.

I'm not going to base
my final decision

off a group of people

that have made it very clear
they don't want us,

they don't care for us,
and if we're happy or not.

My main concern

is that she only knows
the Jack she knows

and the Jack she's seen
for the last three months.

But is it the real Jack?

(TENSE SOUNDTRACK)

That's my concern.

Um, and then, like, that whole thing

around me actually moving
to the Gold Coast.

It's... Do you know what?

I think about that, Tor,

and I think about, you know,

if that's what you want to do,
go for it.

But you're giving up everything.

Yeah.

Jack's not giving up anything.
Hmm.

He's giving up half his bed.

That's my concern.

Would he be prepared to do
the same as what you're going to do?

Yeah.
Like, yeah.

Yeah.
That's my concern.

Would you move down there?

No. No.

I wouldn't want to go to Melbourne.
Yeah, yeah.

You'd understand that.
Yes.

I come from Victoria.
Yeah, I know.

Yeah, you moved away for a reason.
Yeah.

If we do continue, we've got
long distance ahead of us...

Yeah.

..and straight away, like,
Tori has said,

"I don't want to see you
every weekend."

Oh, wow.

Do you think about how we'd navigate
long-distance?

In my mind, it would be like...

Like a weekend thing, for sure.

Every weekend?

I would say most weekends, yeah.

It's like, that's not practical.

Catch a plane every Friday?
I think that's too much.

You don't live in (BLEEP) Spain.

She was starting
to get more insecure,

a little bit more needy.

Yeah, OK. Yeah.

I mean, it's sweet,
but she wasn't like this prior.

Tori said the other night

if it didn't work out,
she'd be closed off to love...

Oh, wow.

..and holy shit,
I was just like (BLEEP) boof!

Yeah.
You know? Like, pressure.

Yeah, that's a lot of pressure.
A lot of pressure.

But ultimately, I've got
to look after myself

and if it's not going to be
what I ultimately want,

I'm not going to write, "Stay",
you know?

Yeah.
It's got to end.

I don't know, chick. It's huge.

Yeah.
It's huge.

You're giving up everything.

I can't tell you what to do.

I can just to support
what you decide, but...

There's a lot to consider, love.
Yeah, there is.

There's a lot.

My concern is that she gets
to the Gold Coast

and she uproots her life,

and she gets there

and, you know, he is not the guy
that she thought he was...

..and whilst I get along
famously with him

and I think he seems
like a great person...

..I don't know the guy.

But if he hurts her,

I'll kill him.

That's all I've got to say
about that.

(OMINOUS SOUNDTRACK)

NARRATOR: The final vows ceremony
has arrived for Tori and Jack.

Today, they will reveal
their true feelings for one another,

a decision that could change
the course of their lives forever.

JACK: It's bittersweet to be
at this part of the experiment.

I mean, it's a huge decision.

There's no turning back.

If I commit to this relationship,
I've got to give it my all, 100%.

I don't know.

It's doing my head in a little bit,
to be honest.

I'm definitely attracted
to the submissive type.

Tori has definitely, you know,
shown me her loyalty,

she's had my back.

I think she can definitely see
a future with me.

But...

I don't want to uproot someone's
life if it's not going to work out.

I don't want to stay
and waste anyone's time

if it's not going to work out.

So, if I really do not see
that future

when I come to final vows,

I'm not going to waste
anyone's time.

(TENSE SOUNDTRACK)

It's going to take me down
to basically that final minutes

before I do see Tori...

..before I know what I want to do.

If I get there, and I finally see,
you know, the light

or how I really do feel,

I won't be afraid to turn around
and change my mind.

TORI: Coming into the experiment,

I wanted to be matched with someone

who I could really just, like,
sink into life with,

and now, I'm in a little bit
of disbelief

that, like, I have quite potentially
found, like, my person...

..and holy shit, it's Jack.

There's a lot to love about Jack.

I feel like almost like a giddiness
when I'm around him.

I know Jack's not perfect.

You know, he is stubborn,
he is very set in his ways,

that he's done some shitty things
and said some shitty things.

But he's always looking out for me,

he's always there when I need him,

and that's all I need.

I am willing and ready
to uproot my life and move

because, to put it simply,

I would say I'm falling in love
with Jack...

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

..and I will do whatever it takes
for us.

I don't think Jack's going
to reject me,

but on the off chance that he did...

I would be super blindsided
and I think I would...

I don't know what I would do.

But it wouldn't be nice for Jack.

(TENSE SOUNDTRACK)

(EXHALES)

(SILENCE)

(QUIETLY TENSE SOUNDTRACK)

(EXHALES)

(EERIE MUSIC BUILDING)

Hi.

You look amazing.

You look so nice.

Thank you. You look great.

(CHUCKLES)

(TENSE SOUNDTRACK)

What a day.

You look like you're about
to get married.

Remarried.

(TENSE SOUNDTRACK BUILDING)

TORI: Jack, you are my equal.
My soulmate.

VOICEOVER:
There's no other night...

I am falling in love with you.

(NECK CRACKING)

(CLEARS THROAT)

..quite...
I'm in love with Eden.

..like...
She's caring, she's kind.

..this.

I hope I get to experience it
for a lifetime

just so I can tell you that
I love you every single day.

But, it's not all...

I felt defeated, disrespected,
and you really hurt me.

..a bed of roses.

What a day.

Eye to eye.

This is crazy.

Heart to heart.

(SNIFFLING, SOBBING)
The last chance...

I wasn't sure if it was going to be
the greatest love story

or a power struggle.

..to unburden...

(EXHALES)

..and there's no...

Our loyal personalities bonded
over having each other's back

like teammates.

..holding back.

Not lovers.
