Transcript
00:00:00Last night, let's go. Showtime.
00:00:04The participants returned. We're back!
00:00:07For the traditional reunion dinner party.
00:00:10So good to see them together.
00:00:12Cheers!
00:00:14Oh no, where's Dave?
00:00:16It was so awkward when Paul walked in.
00:00:19Are you and Jackie dating each other?
00:00:21We are.
00:00:23The timing of Jackie and Clint's new romance...
00:00:27Didn't even have the balls to tell me.
00:00:29..left Ryan feeling betrayed.
00:00:31You guys started this whole connection
00:00:34when we were still married.
00:00:36I tried my ass off to make this relationship work!
00:00:41I was able to reflect on all these issues that we had.
00:00:44Paul told his version of why things ended with Karina.
00:00:48You can be extremely judgemental.
00:00:50It doesn't sit well with me.
00:00:51Leaving everyone stunned.
00:00:54You made multiple mistakes.
00:00:56I'm genuinely surprised at Paul rewriting history.
00:01:00And when Sierra exposed secret comments
00:01:03Safina made about Adrian...
00:01:05He's like, he's stupid, he can't spell.
00:01:07..their relationship reached the point of no return.
00:01:10He talks shit about me all the time.
00:01:11He makes me feel sick.
00:01:13You make me feel sick.
00:01:14Oh my God!
00:01:15Love, love, love.
00:01:16The most disrespectful thing you can call someone is stupid.
00:01:18It was a nail in the coffin.
00:01:19Stop talking to me.
00:01:21I'm just forever gonna be the bad guy.
00:01:23And you know what?
00:01:24I can be the bad guy in his story.
00:01:28Because he's a devil in line.
00:01:31Tonight, after three life-changing months,
00:01:35Australia's biggest social experiment comes to a close.
00:01:40Hello.
00:01:41Hello, guys.
00:01:42The opening revelations for our participants and experts.
00:01:46Oh!
00:01:47Ryan!
00:01:48No!
00:01:49Oh, what a dude.
00:01:50As they watch footage they've never seen before.
00:01:53How do you feel after seeing that?
00:01:55That was a lot.
00:01:56That was a lot.
00:02:05Hi.
00:02:06Hello.
00:02:07Hello.
00:02:08Greetings.
00:02:09Good evening.
00:02:10Welcome.
00:02:11Come on in, grab a seat, settle in.
00:02:14Hello.
00:02:15Good to see you all.
00:02:16Welcome back, everybody, to the final reunion.
00:02:31Now, if last night's dinner party is anything to go by,
00:02:35tonight is guaranteed to be an eye-opener.
00:02:39Over three months ago, you threw yourselves into the deep end,
00:02:47looking for the fairy tale and hoping to find love.
00:02:52Now, for some, this experiment led to exactly what you were looking for.
00:02:59For others, however, the journey didn't quite pan out as you would have hoped.
00:03:05Tonight, we have the opportunity to unpack some of the key moments that have shaped this experiment
00:03:13and your relationship in it.
00:03:19But before we dive into those conversations,
00:03:23let's go back to where it all began.
00:03:26Aww.
00:03:27Your wedding days.
00:03:28Oh, my God.
00:03:33I'm done with dating.
00:03:35And I'm ready for that real gut feeling inside that tells me,
00:03:38yes, you're with the right person.
00:03:43Here it is.
00:03:44Hey.
00:03:45Good job, mate.
00:03:46Oh, my God.
00:03:47Aww.
00:03:48You look amazing.
00:03:50I got about just back to front, I think.
00:03:51Can you take it off and slip it around?
00:03:54How many twins does it take to open a wine bottle?
00:03:56Is she the most high-maintenance one you've had?
00:03:58Not at all.
00:03:59Aww.
00:04:00That's surprising.
00:04:01Oh, is that a bin chicken?
00:04:02Oh.
00:04:03Oh, my God.
00:04:04Oh, is that a bin chicken?
00:04:05Oh.
00:04:06Oh, my God.
00:04:07Oh.
00:04:08Oh, my God.
00:04:09Oh, oh, my God.
00:04:19Oh.
00:04:24Going into the experiment it's very daunting.
00:04:26I do want to have a family and someone that I can share my life with.
00:04:32Let's get married.
00:04:35This could be the greatest love story anyone's ever bloody seen.
00:04:40It's just going to be crazy, like, turning around and then seeing like,
00:04:42that's the person I'm marrying.
00:04:50Hi, Rhi.
00:04:51Hi, Jeff.
00:04:56Wow.
00:05:00Oh, my God.
00:05:03Wow.
00:05:04It's gorgeous.
00:05:06Nice to meet you.
00:05:08You're actually way too hot.
00:05:10I'm actually not happy.
00:05:13Will you marry me?
00:05:15I guess.
00:05:16Oh, I love that.
00:05:18You look incredible.
00:05:20Like a 70s angel.
00:05:24Not a necktie.
00:05:26Oh, yes!
00:05:29Sorry, Dad.
00:05:31That's so good.
00:05:34The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears.
00:05:37The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes.
00:05:39I'm engaged in this experience with a open heart and a deep desire to find love.
00:05:47This love that surpasses all hope and challenges all logis.
00:05:51Oh.
00:05:51I believe in love, and I've been waiting my whole life to meet my person.
00:05:57Oh.
00:05:59I promise to embrace this journey with you, support you through every challenge we face.
00:06:04Oh.
00:06:05I'm here for the right reasons.
00:06:08I also don't have any intentions of doing an OnlyFans account.
00:06:12Ryan, as my friends would say, you hit the jackpot.
00:06:22You'll be required to take me on dates, buy me flowers at least once a month, bring me coffee in the morning, tell me I'm gorgeous.
00:06:28Together, we could maybe afford an Eastern Suburbs mortgage, adopt a Cocker Spaniel puppy, and I'd love to have a double his and her vanity bathroom one day.
00:06:39Hmm, interesting.
00:06:54What?
00:06:58It's an Italian traditional dance.
00:07:05.
00:07:10.
00:07:12.
00:07:15.
00:07:18.
00:07:20.
00:07:23.
00:07:25.
00:07:27.
00:07:30.
00:07:33.
00:07:40.
00:07:41That was worse than I thought.
00:07:44I'm so sorry.
00:07:46Oh, my God.
00:07:48I tried on the dress.
00:07:50It's good.
00:07:51That's going on national TV.
00:07:53That's going on national TV.
00:07:55.
00:08:00Wow, wow, wow.
00:08:02Famous drop.
00:08:04Jamie, you're getting emotional.
00:08:08Yeah, it was...
00:08:09Oh, God, I'm so sorry.
00:08:11I just...
00:08:12It was so beautiful that we all got to experience that.
00:08:15It really was, and just seeing how beautiful everyone looked,
00:08:18and, like, I think we all had so many amazing moments,
00:08:21and it was a really good experience,
00:08:22and it was just nice to see everyone.
00:08:24Yeah.
00:08:25Yeah.
00:08:26Well, look, certainly for us, watching all of that has been absolutely gorgeous.
00:08:34All right, to kick it off tonight, let's get up...
00:08:40Jamie and Dave.
00:08:42Hey, guys.
00:08:48So, um, there were a lot of high emotions last night.
00:08:54You were really upset, Jamie, when talking about the demise of the relationship
00:09:01and basically the journey that you guys have been on, especially in the last few weeks.
00:09:05Mm-hmm.
00:09:06Are you ultimately disappointed that it did not work out?
00:09:12Yeah, I am disappointed because it's...
00:09:14I'm...
00:09:15I remember having this conversation with, I think, with my sister,
00:09:18and I was trying to explain, like, the place that we were at.
00:09:22And when you look back at retreat, we were such, like, a strong, united couple,
00:09:29and people used to admire us.
00:09:32And I really thought, like, oh, I found my man.
00:09:37And I was just so convinced that this was, like, this was it for me.
00:09:45And ultimately, it didn't pan out.
00:09:48So I think last night, you know, a lot of emotions did come up
00:09:54because it is...there is disappointment.
00:09:58But I know how I want someone to show up in a relationship
00:10:01and that ultimately wasn't the right match.
00:10:05But, like, I'm proud that we both tried.
00:10:09And we've got this really good friendship.
00:10:14We've had an incredible journey. We really have.
00:10:16You did just mention that you had an incredible journey.
00:10:22So why don't we take a look at that journey?
00:10:25Yes!
00:10:34I want a husband that is a cross between David Beckham
00:10:38and someone who's done 20 to life.
00:10:41We're all kind of lucky. We kind of hit it off from the start.
00:10:58How does that do that?
00:10:59How does that do that?
00:11:00He made me feel comfortable straight away.
00:11:03The coffee...the coffee machine is my nightclub.
00:11:09Oh, my God.
00:11:11Look at this dress. Look at this lady.
00:11:13Give her a spin. Give her a spin.
00:11:14Give her a spin.
00:11:15Look at that!
00:11:17It's OK. You're safe. Don't worry.
00:11:19Don't worry.
00:11:21She's an amazing person.
00:11:22She makes me laugh.
00:11:23She's just hilarious.
00:11:25It's a wedding!
00:11:29Today! Today!
00:11:31No!
00:11:33I don't know what to do or what to wear.
00:11:35I'm paid all as well.
00:11:37I don't know what to do.
00:11:38Get in the shower.
00:11:42Jamie and I...
00:11:46To quote Jersey Shore, Dave and I smooshed.
00:11:51I felt like dopamine was shooting out of my arse this morning.
00:12:00He just makes me a better person.
00:12:02Aww.
00:12:03I feel safe.
00:12:04I feel secure.
00:12:05I feel happy.
00:12:06Like, tick, tick, tick.
00:12:08Yes!
00:12:09Oh, she's bloody amazing.
00:12:10I've shared things with her.
00:12:12And she's just zero judgement at all.
00:12:14She's lovely.
00:12:15I kind of saw an opportunity.
00:12:19And I said, I love you.
00:12:21Like, I really love you.
00:12:23So you haven't said it back?
00:12:26No.
00:12:28I feel like now I've literally gotten a new husband.
00:12:32So Dave's enjoying it as well.
00:12:40Hey.
00:12:42It's gonna be quicker than that around here, boys.
00:12:47I think there's been some uncomfortable sleeping arrangements.
00:12:52Yeah.
00:12:54Not us.
00:12:55We're just...
00:12:56Not me.
00:12:57Yeah, look, we get on.
00:12:58Um...
00:13:00Yeah.
00:13:01Sounds good.
00:13:02Thanks.
00:13:10I have always been the one likely to initiate intimacy.
00:13:13And that's why it makes me confused as to why you don't want more of it.
00:13:21I'm gonna give you some hard truths.
00:13:23Yeah, go on.
00:13:27Is Jess not like that with you?
00:13:32Are we having a lack of sex because you're not in the love stage?
00:13:36I feel like...
00:13:37Yes or no?
00:13:38Yes.
00:13:40How do you feel about Jamie?
00:13:42Oh, look, I don't...
00:13:43I don't hate her guts.
00:13:44I don't hate Jamie.
00:13:46The feelings aren't there as much as I thought they would be.
00:13:50Do you understand your words are really hurtful?
00:13:54Who is that person?
00:13:57And he just didn't even care.
00:13:59The things that she wants, I can't give it to her.
00:14:02Like, yeah, I care about her.
00:14:04I don't hate the girl.
00:14:06Oh, no.
00:14:08The girl.
00:14:09I don't hate the girl.
00:14:10I don't hate the girl.
00:14:11That's what he said.
00:14:13We've built three months together today.
00:14:15Three months and I'm planning a future with you and you're telling me today you're like,
00:14:18I don't have...
00:14:19Those feelings haven't progressed for you.
00:14:20When did you want to tell me that?
00:14:22I've seen how hurt you were.
00:14:28That's not how I want this to go.
00:14:31I don't want to hurt you at all.
00:14:34Because I care about you.
00:14:37These are for you.
00:14:39Oh, flowers.
00:14:42I mean, to take charge and sort of step up and make her feel wanted and needed and not rejected.
00:14:47I'm willing to give it all I've got.
00:14:51It's all I see that you really care.
00:14:57Jamie, I came here looking for something worth holding on to.
00:15:01And with you, I believe that's possible.
00:15:07My heart tells me that I'm not ready to let go of you and everything we've built together.
00:15:11I don't think it's the end of our story.
00:15:13In fact, it may just be the beginning.
00:15:15That's so sweet.
00:15:34Dave, watching that back, what's your opinion of everything that happened with Jamie?
00:15:40Um, the way I handled myself when Jamie raised concerns, I'm ashamed of the way I handled that.
00:15:50Like, this was something so special and it just came to this abrupt halt with all my doing.
00:15:56And I'm so sorry that that's a part of our journey and it's caused by me.
00:16:02Yeah, I should have handled that a lot better.
00:16:05I don't like to hurt people that I care about and I think that's something I'm going to take away from this.
00:16:13She's taught me many good lessons in this relationship.
00:16:15And the negative thing that I've learned about myself from Jamie is that it's not fair to not speak your mind when it's very crucial times.
00:16:27You both chose to stay together at final vows.
00:16:32Yeah.
00:16:34And what I'd love to understand is what that happened in Melbourne that led to you not being together today.
00:16:41So, obviously, you guys saw our relationship. It was amazing and then kind of took a turn.
00:16:50And from there, ultimately the concerns I had had and the concerns I'm sure Dave had with his feelings of progressing very much became apparent when you go into home life.
00:17:02Because, like, when you do have those feelings, you're dying to see that person, you want to do everything, like, it just wasn't happening.
00:17:13And then once it was clear that those feelings weren't there, it just, I couldn't look away.
00:17:21I just always say, it's like you turn lights on a nightclub and you're, oh!
00:17:24It's like that's what it was like every day because I'm looking at a man who's trying but you're like, he's not that into me, he's not that into me.
00:17:33And then insecurities form and...
00:17:36I don't like to cry.
00:17:39I'd rather be yelling at people. Everyone will come to yelling.
00:17:44But I came on here wanting to learn and to look back and go, what a great experience.
00:17:49I feel like that's exactly what him and I had.
00:17:54Who knows? Just like Ria and Jeff, maybe we'll get matched next year, Dave and I.
00:18:01Well, thank you both so much for the passion and commitment that you showed up with every single day.
00:18:09And we do hope the best for you both in whatever you choose to do in the future.
00:18:12Thank you very much for your help all in the way, guys.
00:18:15Thank you, guys.
00:18:24Next up on the couch.
00:18:30Adrian and Fina.
00:18:40Hello, you two.
00:18:42Hello.
00:18:49Hello, you two.
00:18:57Hello.
00:19:00Alright, well there's no doubt, Adrian and Fina, that your relationship was marked with both highs and lows.
00:19:07It was tumultuous.
00:19:09And what we saw last night got pretty emotional, very heated, it was raw, it was unfiltered.
00:19:15Shall we talk about that first?
00:19:20Yeah, I mean, in coming to the dinner party I was excited to see Fina.
00:19:24You know, I did miss her.
00:19:25And, you know, we started off good and then, you know, Sierra came in and they were having a chat.
00:19:34And Sierra said to Fina, or you said this about Adrian.
00:19:38One was like, my business sucks.
00:19:42I'm never going to be successful.
00:19:44And I can't spell.
00:19:48And for me, the worst thing that you can call someone is an idiot.
00:19:52And that's how I took it.
00:19:57It felt, like, personal.
00:19:59And to hear those things from someone that you think cares about you so much.
00:20:04It was, like, just upsetting and disappointing.
00:20:07Considering I gave so much time and attention to someone and put so much effort in,
00:20:11it was probably the most hurtful thing.
00:20:14And then from that I just checked out, I'm like, I lost all respect for you.
00:20:17You know, because if you do care for someone, you don't talk about them like that.
00:20:21No matter how upset you are with them.
00:20:23I want someone to be with me that believes in me.
00:20:27And, essentially, when I heard all that, I felt like you never believed in me.
00:20:35Afina, did you say those things?
00:20:39Not in that exact context, but there was some truth to it.
00:20:42Which, when Sierra said those things, I said to Adrian, yeah, there is some truth to it.
00:20:46At the time, you had left over not being in a promo video.
00:20:53Sierra and I went for a walk nine weeks ago.
00:20:56At a time that I was really hurt and I was feeling sad.
00:20:59It doesn't matter.
00:21:00I know, like, I shouldn't have hurt your feelings.
00:21:01But I feel like hurt people say things out of context.
00:21:04But what I did say, I mentioned his business, yes.
00:21:07And I said he was here for the wrong reasons.
00:21:08Because at the time, that's how I felt.
00:21:11Obviously, the last time you guys all saw Adrian, Sierra and I together,
00:21:15was when Sierra apologised for going out for dinner with Adrian.
00:21:18So, we moved past that.
00:21:22It's been weeks now.
00:21:24And I'm getting, you know, calls from Adrian telling me that Sierra's reached out to him again
00:21:29to go out for dinner and essentially come back in together.
00:21:32So, what happened?
00:21:35It just felt like another slap in the face.
00:21:39And then, a week after leaving the experiment, Adrian sends me a string of text messages from Sierra.
00:21:46It was just a barrage of messages about I effing hate Athena and her tacky weave.
00:21:52So, I feel like she has got a lot of resentment towards me because I stayed in the experiment.
00:21:58I understand you feel like you were robbed of that experience,
00:22:01but your relationship didn't work with Billy.
00:22:03I have no involvement in that.
00:22:05But also, if you came here for a life partner, you didn't get it, you should have left.
00:22:10Like, how are you mad at me over that?
00:22:13Sierra, what do you have to say about that?
00:22:17Um, alright.
00:22:19First of all, I never actually reached out to Adrian.
00:22:22When I left, he reached out to me to ask if I was okay.
00:22:26The whole coming back together thing, what happened was the day after I left,
00:22:32I said, oh, the wife swap thing might have been a good idea.
00:22:35What?
00:22:37Oh my God.
00:22:39Hang on, hang on. Just let me speak.
00:22:41For context, Athena had said those things to me about Adrian.
00:22:44She said she wanted to leave.
00:22:46I did say I wanted to leave, it's true.
00:22:48I wanted to, I won't leave.
00:22:49Sorry, I'll let you speak, Athena.
00:22:51Um, it's my turn to defend myself.
00:22:53But you're gonna lie.
00:22:55Just let me speak.
00:22:57So I was like, well, she said that her type was actually a tattoo tradie from first.
00:23:02And I go, that's funny, that's Billie.
00:23:04And then I said, maybe the wife swap was a great idea.
00:23:07We should come back together.
00:23:09****
00:23:10And that was basically it.
00:23:14You're upset, you've done the wrong thing.
00:23:16And instead of having any real accountability, and you tried to vilify me.
00:23:20All that hate towards me is not fair.
00:23:27All right, well, Adrian, Athena, I need to bring it back to you now.
00:23:31We're gonna take a look back at your journey on this experiment.
00:23:36You're twins.
00:23:50All right.
00:23:52Twins on twins.
00:23:54Double trouble.
00:23:59I'm Adrian.
00:24:00Hi.
00:24:01Nice to meet you.
00:24:02I'm Athena.
00:24:03Nice to meet you.
00:24:05You're actually way too hot.
00:24:06I'm actually not happy.
00:24:08She's exactly my type.
00:24:10She's everything I could have asked for.
00:24:11Oh.
00:24:13Ah.
00:24:15You know, it's two days in.
00:24:16I know we have real chemistry.
00:24:20Give me a nice pose.
00:24:23Adrian and I connected.
00:24:27You're number one, by far.
00:24:29I actually notice every year.
00:24:32We're not even close to them.
00:24:35By far, honestly, when I meant it, like, if I had to pair them up and I didn't know anyone,
00:24:42it would still be my top pick, 100%, by far.
00:24:49Cute.
00:24:50Do you want kids?
00:24:51Yeah, of course.
00:24:52I would have had them yesterday.
00:24:53Someone's saying they could have kids yesterday.
00:24:54It's like someone saying they're ready to be a dad now.
00:24:58I didn't say I want someone else's kid.
00:25:03I literally told you from the second that you said I had a kid that it was going to be a problem.
00:25:09Why are you still here?
00:25:10Because you don't want someone with children.
00:25:11Why are you still here?
00:25:12You know what you want.
00:25:13I would like if we can kind of just try to come together as a team.
00:25:17One moment we're arguing, next minute kid gives me that nice, cute little smile.
00:25:22And you know, I easily melt and give in.
00:25:25I hate that face.
00:25:28You know exactly what face you do to me.
00:25:31I just don't know if that is a foundation of a strong relationship.
00:25:35First chance.
00:25:37Have you ever cheated on a past partner?
00:25:40Yeah, I did.
00:25:42I made out with someone, but I told my ex straight away and I'm admitting it.
00:25:47I just don't feel like a lot of people will.
00:25:49Yeah.
00:25:50A lot of people don't want to realise they're a shit person.
00:25:52Oh my gosh.
00:25:54Have you cheated Adrian?
00:25:55No.
00:25:57Did you answer all the questions honestly?
00:26:00No.
00:26:05What have I said I've seen your application?
00:26:07Seriously.
00:26:08Oh God.
00:26:10Adrian!
00:26:13Yeah, I might have.
00:26:14I might have hooked up without my girl.
00:26:16Jesus Christ.
00:26:17Wow.
00:26:18Are you joking?
00:26:19I do get this feeling that Adrian's keeping something from me.
00:26:23Actually, why were you out for dinner, Sierra, on Saturday night?
00:26:27You took her out.
00:26:28Really, bro?
00:26:30What do you think I'm going to do?
00:26:31Steal your wife or something?
00:26:35I mean, I'm a human, right?
00:26:40Just do that wife swap.
00:26:41See how they would like to have tomorrow.
00:26:43Press your door.
00:26:44Oh my God.
00:26:45This is like insane.
00:26:46Hello.
00:26:47Adrian?
00:26:48He's not here.
00:26:49I'm pissed off at the moment in the promo.
00:26:50This is respectful.
00:26:51I'm not coming back until I'll give me the promo.
00:26:52Shit.
00:26:53I left because I was frustrated.
00:26:54Adrian, I've got it on good authority that you gave an ultimate.
00:27:00No, I reacted in emotions.
00:27:01You know, I'm a man.
00:27:02I make mistakes.
00:27:03Adrian, I've got to jump in.
00:27:04Because the way in which you're saying this is a real problem.
00:27:07You're not showing empathy, and you're certainly getting defensive now.
00:27:08So, what I'm feeding back to you, Adrian, is that you're not good at saying sorry.
00:27:10And that's all right, but it's all right.
00:27:11And yeah, I've got it on good authority that you gave an ultimate.
00:27:14I reacted in emotions.
00:27:15You know, I'm a man.
00:27:16I make mistakes.
00:27:17Adrian, I've got to jump in.
00:27:18Because the way in which you're saying this is a real problem.
00:27:20You're not showing empathy, and you're certainly getting defensive now.
00:27:22So what I'm feeding back to you, Adrian, is that you're not good at saying sorry, and that's
00:27:35to say sorry.
00:27:36that's a problem we can now reveal that during the matchmaking process there was
00:27:43more than one person you were compatible with for this final week you have the
00:27:48opportunity if you choose to meet them you know let's go what's one more task
00:27:56right Adrian Adrian nice to meet you Tim nice to meet you how old is your
00:28:03little one by the way six okay yeah what does he enjoy doing oh he plays footy Tim asked me more
00:28:09questions about my life in one day than I'd gotten in the first six weeks from Adrian
00:28:14I'm usually fine we're meeting someone for the first time but now I'm sort of a bit
00:28:18speechless I'm like shit I don't know why yeah it's a nice colour on you thank you you look
00:28:23beautiful too thank you I do I do like your look yeah yeah you know so what about you similar to
00:28:31you yeah okay cool you know he's he's maxing someone I would hang out with probably he's a
00:28:42you're not my future right now this is where our journey ends it's best for both of us that I walk
00:29:03away do you want to spend time with me tonight do you want to try right now though and see what
00:29:13yeah but it looks like outside of this experiment Adrian
00:29:16yes
00:29:20afina would you have liked to have continued the relationship with Adrian outside the experiment
00:29:45the moment I landed in Perth that answer smacked me in the face that that was a no and that's the
00:29:51truth I was like I made a mistake there's nothing here there's just a physical connection
00:30:02I got home and I felt really good
00:30:05I was like I am amazing yes you are I am a good mom I am hot
00:30:22and I had this epiphany where I was like who wouldn't want me
00:30:25it felt good but it's a feeling I hadn't felt and I didn't recognize almost the entire experiment
00:30:37I didn't feel hot
00:30:40I didn't feel like Adrian would want me or likes me I just felt
00:30:47I felt small and you know sometimes I would lash out from those feelings of rejection and hurt
00:30:57and I feel like you feel that with comments said and actions
00:31:01I just didn't feel good about myself in the experiment
00:31:06I don't think from the beginning I was ever your person
00:31:08do you think he was your person no my person wouldn't make me feel like this
00:31:22I'm sorry you felt that way
00:31:27I'm sorry I didn't make you feel wanted I'm sorry to bring out the best in you
00:31:31I'm sorry you know and I know for a fact in time she's going to meet that person that does
00:31:39and as much as it sucks it wasn't me
00:31:49well look we have to say thank you both for throwing yourselves into this experiment so completely
00:31:56you both showed real vulnerability and we've loved having you here thank you thank you thank you
00:32:11coming up it's crazy to see where we started and where we are have you dropped I love you yet
00:32:19uh and I was living with her when you were talking to her mate
00:32:23I forgot we're not mates we're not talking about mates anymore apparently we're not mates
00:32:28jackie and ryan go head to head so sick of it ryan you're sick of what being held accountable for
00:32:34your actions no and later Karina has also done certain things that
00:32:39who have also made me feel extremely uncomfortable and upset at times Paul hears some hard truths
00:32:44I've had enough I'm going to tell you the way it is and look at me when I'm talking to you
00:32:49because I won't get another chance to give this to you straight
00:33:04and next up on the couch we have
00:33:06Ryan and jackie
00:33:17hello guys hello you two good to see you all again hello hi so where to start
00:33:26last night we learnt some new information
00:33:29Jackie why don't you uh fill us in on the situation with Clint
00:33:37so after final vows um you know things ended pretty badly and I was pretty sad for about two
00:33:42weeks and crying and um what did you say during final vows you didn't seem sad then a lot of stuff
00:33:51during final vows you didn't seem sad then so yeah Clint and I had started talking and we developed a
00:33:59friendship we started bonding over our shared experience and experiment and how disappointed we
00:34:05essentially were and then Clint invited me down to Tasmania so just took the leap flew down with a one
00:34:14way ticket there and we just hit it off and we found out we've got like a lot in common
00:34:21we have a lot of fun together we can't spend a minute apart really without missing each other
00:34:27we've tested you know do you want to have kids how many kids would you have like we've kind of
00:34:31gone through everything and figured out actually we do feel like we're compatible
00:34:35and we're really happy and so yeah I'm now I'm moving in with Clint wow
00:34:48sorry sorry that's mad
00:34:52why is it funny because it's two weeks why is it everyone in this room signed up for an experiment
00:34:58where you're going to marry a stranger you're going to go about three months of your lives
00:35:01like it's not a big deal guys you did the same thing not a big deal
00:35:09having their own experiment
00:35:13I would love to hear from you Clint how serious is this for you oh it's it's very serious
00:35:21so I thought why not live together and I was living with her when you were talking to her mate
00:35:27I forgot we're not mates we're not talking about that right now apparently we're not mates
00:35:34when did you first start talking
00:35:38you started the beginnings of a relationship when you were married to me
00:35:41that's not the case Ryan that is the case that is not the case
00:35:45Ryan you're saying that these guys were talking before final vows hundred percent how do you know
00:35:55that information because I was there when we all exchanged numbers the first week that
00:36:01Clint came into the experiment okay and I was like okay I don't see an issue here that I know that they're
00:36:06I know that they're chatting I didn't know the depth to it all Jackie told me and actually Clint
00:36:12confirmed it that after one of the commitment ceremonies Jackie called Clint at 3am saying like
00:36:18oh I hate Ryan the experts are so unfair
00:36:23but I'm like it is okay for people to have friends I'm friends with it as well well at least I thought
00:36:28the rumors were swirling and I called Jackie after final vows and I said look just tell me are you
00:36:35and Clint thinking about talking more maybe even meeting up and she goes no
00:36:42and then she goes I really do love you I really do respect you I would never disrespect you like that
00:36:47oh wow shit oh Jackie
00:36:55that's not what happened I've got the text
00:36:59I've got the text to confirm it you just said it was a phone call Ryan and now you're saying
00:37:04there were texts yeah after that phone call you sent me texts saying those exact things and I've
00:37:08still got them on my phone so I'm sick of it Ryan you're sick of being held accountable for your actions
00:37:14no Ryan you seem really hurt by this you know what if I have to be completely honest it's not this
00:37:23specific situation it's the culmination of this relationship you made my life hell
00:37:32like and my question is with the mountain of evidence actions words contradictions the non-acceptance
00:37:41did you ever really want to be in this relationship with me truly yes
00:37:53well I think everyone's very excited to see your journey oh my god yes the moment has come
00:38:00let's take a look shall we oh yeah look at everyone no talking silence
00:38:07shhh where have all the warriors gone where all the knights gone men without these roles have lost
00:38:14their way so for example I know basic plumbing I can change a tap
00:38:23it's impossible to find someone on my level so I'm hoping the guy is very successful and blunt I think
00:38:30I'll know straight away whether he's got potential yeah I'm a little bit disappointed he's not blonde
00:38:40the male version of me is really what I was looking for
00:38:47and I was a bit concerned that he didn't take the lead when we had to walk back down the aisle
00:38:51because I don't want to be at one like there's so many shit men out there
00:38:58all right I'm gonna dip here ready you're gonna have to catch me though
00:39:09this is where you'll find me today I actually don't want the tv in our bedroom you can't watch tv in
00:39:14there okay Ryan I'll watch tv when I don't want to watch tv where I want okay there's re my top choice
00:39:21all right last one I'll put you third yeah
00:39:26how hard is it to just be like hey I made a mistake you're gorgeous because that would be a lie
00:39:32oh lion oh what a dude with regards to the photo task I'm not going to take the answer back and then
00:39:41suddenly like the crazy eyes came in like what but uh I've got to say like she gives she gives awesome
00:39:51I'm ashamed I'm ashamed of that I'm writing a letter to you the first thing I'd like to say is like
00:39:58when you dropped me at our wedding I did hit my head and it took you three weeks to buy me flowers
00:40:06and the time when I was asking you to do stuff around the house like can you please close the
00:40:10door when you go to the bathroom can you please keep your shoes off the bed I feel like you're not
00:40:14sensitive to my emotions I was also very disappointed that oh there's more fantastic yeah yeah the first
00:40:21time we went out for breakfast you didn't offer to pay no and the reason why I have a rap sheet of
00:40:29all the stuff you've done is because you've done so much bad stuff I can't win with you I'm just trying
00:40:33to be nice to you I'm trying to help you grow into the man you could be
00:40:38Jeff got a text message from Jackie asking to catch up without me there excuse me what the
00:40:44don't touch them don't touch them okay as soon as the heat was turned on her tears come he's going
00:40:53around behind my back trying to get everyone against me I can see your side but Jackie you've written a
00:41:00sheet of things that like you know I didn't do that oh my god that's the thing but hey said yeah did you
00:41:11believe him that's the problem Jamie he just springs around I reckon even my nipples are tired of this
00:41:24Ryan I'm concerned that you financially contribute less than I will like theoretically if it came to
00:41:30it would you be happy being a stay-at-home dad what if I ended up in a coma who's going to look after
00:41:34drug kids um your beard isn't very manly my beard Jackie is the most difficult person I've ever tried
00:41:46to date in my life I can't have conversation with you about anything because your brain is so small
00:41:52okay come in come in so this is the lounge room I just think he's been alone here for seven years
00:41:58it really reminds me of the elderly I just feel bad for right well I've heard enough about your
00:42:05standards why don't you want to be someone great wouldn't you rather find someone that meets your
00:42:13high standards there's no one out there that meets my standards
00:42:17I'm really sorry that you don't feel accepted by me whether you know I do accept you and I want
00:42:27you to know how much I do really think you're one of the greatest humans I've ever met and I've loved
00:42:32you since the day I met you oh and I mean that that's why I'm so heartbroken
00:42:40is she joking yeah Rory's really good looking I feel like I just want to hang out with Rory now
00:42:50if you want to give me your number I will be out of this experiment in probably 10 days
00:42:55oh what the did you tell Ryan that you swapped numbers with Rory um I didn't tell Ryan that I swapped
00:43:03numbers with Rory but he didn't ask so it's okay
00:43:06I think Ryan will be blown away I've got some iconic lines that will go down in history as
00:43:15memorable Ryan I'm not a rehabilitation center for a man I'm sorry that's ridiculous don't call my
00:43:25final verse ridiculous that's not nice I was always open and willing to listen and fix it's not me
00:43:30your pride is the problem as a man you're not perfect it's not the 1920s anymore in a world of
00:43:39red flags you are the red carpet being in a relationship with her is exhausting I feel
00:43:49sorry for the next man who comes along and tries to be with her because unless he makes like 10 million a
00:43:54year or was willing to be a stay-at-home dad run just run now I am hopeful that I will find my person
00:44:01I just don't know when it's going to be I have a feeling that it's going to happen sooner than I think though
00:44:09there it is because you already found him
00:44:11what an incredible journey for the two of you Jackie what was that like to watch for you
00:44:22it was pretty sad to watch it took me back to those times where I was feeling really hurt
00:44:29I just felt like I could never get through to Ryan on anything like it was even last night
00:44:34I took so much accountability stop interrupting me Ryan
00:44:43and I felt like actually it wasn't ever me
00:44:50it's something with Ryan he just blanks like he deflects and he just
00:44:54you can't get into him in any way possible it's like it's impossible
00:44:59Ryan how did you feel watching that back
00:45:01yeah there was some times there where I was indelicate for sure
00:45:08yeah I have definitely made mistakes 100 percent I'll take full accountability for that
00:45:13but like you're saying you couldn't get through to me and whatnot but like
00:45:16in week two you wanted a different man and then in week three you were texting another groom
00:45:22like there's just all these examples of her being so apparently dissatisfied with me and continuing to write stay
00:45:28if you were so unhappy and you're so dissatisfied with your man he's not up to scratch he's not
00:45:34meeting your standards he's not blonde he's not 64 he's not a multi-millionaire he doesn't
00:45:38be a stay-at-home dad like the criticisms were endless why did you continue to write stay
00:45:45yeah I maybe everyone treats the experiment differently I thought that I wanted to give it
00:45:51a goal I didn't want to throw away the chance to be matched with someone that I'm supposed to be
00:45:55compatible with with my husband it just doesn't make sense to me it made sense to me I was sweeping
00:46:01my feelings under the rug so that we could try and I could be patient and have hope that with time you
00:46:07would change well that's not what this experiment is about it's not about ignoring your feelings it's
00:46:12not about constant criticism like you can see I did not enjoy my feelings I tried to bring them up and
00:46:17you shut me down every time Brian I was so keen to talk to you about everything
00:46:32what that's not what this experiment is about it's not about ignoring your feelings it's not about
00:46:36you can see I did not enjoy my feelings I tried to bring them up and you shut me down every time Brian
00:46:43I'm just so keen to talk to you about everything
00:46:49now you're yelling that's not going to solve anything okay because at the end of the day you
00:46:53say one thing then you do another you were spinning my head around every day I was walking
00:46:58on eggshells and then every time I brought up a problem you said I don't change this is who I am
00:47:03this is the man she's trying to change me but the reality is like your behavior just never got up to
00:47:08scratch it was impossible to build a relationship with you I don't think we had any real communication
00:47:13right from the beginning what about the times when you sat on this couch and presented a really happy
00:47:21situation going on between you that was genuine I truly believe that was genuine okay for me I I didn't
00:47:28have a voice and that's what made it work like that's excellent actually I've ignoring my feelings
00:47:34ignoring how hurt I was feeling and just putting on a brave faith a show it wasn't a show a performance
00:47:42and that's why that's what it's what brave people do every day before we get into what he said she said
00:47:47again Clint now that you're in a relationship with Jackie I'm intrigued about what your take is on their
00:47:56relationship watching the video was exactly what Jackie described went on
00:48:05and I just cannot believe some of the behavior that he's demonstrated to a female
00:48:09it's actually disgraceful and even from like seeing Jackie on there is that any is any alarms that you've seen
00:48:16watching Jackie not at all not at all I've actually fallen more for her since I've just watched that
00:48:32Jackie I'm interested to know what you've learned from being in this experiment um I've learned a lot
00:48:40like I've definitely learned a lot about myself I've learned that I can be confusing and I've also
00:48:46learned like not to try and change someone even going through the challenges even though you know
00:48:51like we didn't work out in the end I can still take those learnings from every challenge to know what
00:48:56would make a relationship successful in the future so I'm really happy with um my experience
00:49:05to you Ryan what do you think you've learned from this experiment I've learned so much more about
00:49:13sensitivity you need to be able to lean more into like the the feminine side of a relationship
00:49:17because that's the fabric that hold things together but the ending is not what I wanted
00:49:23I still do feel betrayed
00:49:27yeah
00:49:30well what a ride it's been for not just you but everybody that's been close to you
00:49:35Jackie you are now riding off into the sunset with Clint uh and we wish you all the best for that
00:49:44and for you Ryan the future is bright it is so uh good luck with it all thank you guys
00:49:51well thank you
00:49:56thank you
00:49:59next up on the couch
00:50:05Karina and Paul
00:50:07we have a lot to unpack yes it is very clear from last night that Karina
00:50:24you chose to not be in the relationship anymore at final vows
00:50:28mm-hmm where do you guys stand currently
00:50:37Paul
00:50:39so obviously when I heard Karina's decision I was
00:50:42I was I was yeah I was heartbroken that rejection interesting it just didn't sit well with me
00:50:48but yeah and then and after being home for for about four days I was just able to reflect on the whole experiment
00:51:01and then all these arguments that we've had
00:51:03and all these little issues that we've had
00:51:06and the question I asked myself was okay are we as compatible as I thought we were
00:51:12so Paul just to be clear what are the reasons that you feel make you not compatible with Karina
00:51:26you know like for example the fact that she weren't really able to to take on much criticism like
00:51:31throughout the show and then I felt like every time I was trying to raise certain concerns it always
00:51:38sort of blew back in my face
00:51:45and then the second thing was the fact that she has been quite judgmental in in in a fair few situation
00:51:55my major concern was the fact that Karina
00:51:58wasn't showing really showing me her true self because she worries a lot about her image
00:52:03I always felt like sometimes Karina was you know making decision or basing her decisions
00:52:14based on what other people might potentially think of her
00:52:18and and that to me that it just doesn't sit down with me
00:52:23like it's not it's not being fully authentic
00:52:25Karina said to me you said I didn't want people to think that I'm not the kind of person who stands
00:52:33for watching for what I believe
00:52:38what is wrong with that
00:52:42well because she should make her decision based on what she truly wants
00:52:46towards the relationship towards me not based on what other people are going to think of
00:52:50of whatever the decision she's going to make
00:52:55but the the common denominator in in that equation is her standing by her beliefs
00:53:04I'm sorry that doesn't make quite a note
00:53:06she was talking about she thought that she was going to say yes
00:53:09she thought that people were going to think oh
00:53:10I would appreciate it Paul if you do not speak over me
00:53:13hey Paul the mistakes you made early in this experiment and Karina forgave you
00:53:43multiple times I don't think she was worried about what other people thought because if she was
00:53:47she wouldn't have forgiven you she wrote for you she wrote for you hard I've been so genuine
00:53:55throughout this whole experiment you threw me under the bus multiple times you weren't giving me the
00:54:01reassurance you made me feel so insecure I literally tried to stick out and make it work
00:54:08I think this is a good time to look back on your journey in this experiment
00:54:23hi hi how are you i'm good how are you i'm good god you're gorgeous oh that's so nice
00:54:32so Karina and i actually met about a year ago you're kidding me no no no no but we just went
00:55:01our separate ways i was going through a bit of a rough patch at that point okay the only mistake
00:55:06i've done was to not communicate that you know and i could have communicated a little bit better
00:55:11my family are so important to me so that was definitely a big tick i'm smitten honestly like she is
00:55:20perfect
00:55:21i just feel like we're both walking on like a romantic bubble there was intimacy with paul last
00:55:31night let's say that we are compatible
00:55:33i feel like i've won the jackpot so last night things just got a little bit heated i said i've slept
00:55:47with this rapper and paul obviously got offended by it and he got really angry and he yeah punched the wall
00:55:56i was so so angry at that comment in the cab i felt so disrespected like i was just like whoa like
00:56:06what the hell i just felt like an idiot and i could hear you trying to apologize it i just
00:56:12i couldn't really take your apology sincerely because it was like i'm sorry but
00:56:21because owned up to his actions and what he did like i can see it that he's sad and i'm gonna have
00:56:29to make that up to karina of course i feel like she is a bit of a snob sometimes and can come across
00:56:35as very judgy and i'll be honest with you this is giving me the and now i'm not gonna lie when i
00:56:42told karina about cleo she said oh i didn't know you would go for that kind of caliber yeah wow you know
00:56:53there's been multiple times where i've noticed some contradiction between the way she portrays
00:56:57herself and some of her behaviors or actions um yes i feel like she is a bit of a
00:57:05um sorry where am i yeah i feel like she yeah um i feel like she's and she can come across as a
00:57:15very as very judgy were there any parts that you left out no were there words of your letter that you
00:57:23left out well i reread your letter and why did you miss out the part of saying i was a snob me
00:57:33oh when i asked you in interview earlier if there were any words you left out of your letter you said no
00:57:44why was that
00:57:48um you know i to be fair i wasn't like 100 percent over the exact meaning of snob oh come on man
00:57:55we can now reveal that during the matchmaking process there was more than one person you were
00:58:05compatible with your partner is receiving the exact same task and will also decide whether to meet this
00:58:12other match do you think paul would go today no i think i i don't think paul would make that idiotic
00:58:21decision to go jesus hey hello so yes what do you what do you do in life i like to hike
00:58:32so you're an outdoorsy person yeah well same like i'm i'm actually also a very outdoorsy person
00:58:38the more outdoor stuff i can do the better makes me happy yeah why didn't work out with your wife
00:58:43oh no everything is working really well with my wife oh really absolutely so if you're so happy
00:58:49why are you here yeah this is why i'm single because there's married men that are always looking for
00:58:56more so i've got good news yes oh no i did i did i did but no no but like don't worry when i got there
00:59:15well i'm on tables to run away like oh it was so weird as soon as i met her first of all physically
00:59:21what the hell like literally barbie doll i was like hey oh when i was sitting there it just just
00:59:29so you know it just made me realize how how much i like you how much i like our relationship literally
00:59:36the entire time spoke about you it's not cheating it is i don't appreciate that you should know my
00:59:43morals you idiot like that's not cool you literally went on a date with another woman
00:59:52it's your while i'm here washing your clothes you know so i'm embarrassed do you think rey and jeff
00:59:57would do something like that who kissed but the other couples there's no point in caring
01:00:00so much better than this
01:00:10paul i can't ignore the good times in the experiment where you made me feel special and cared for and
01:00:16loved however
01:00:19you were given a test which you failed so close to the end paul i was yours you had me
01:00:31and you ruined it
01:00:32i don't have it in me anymore to continue to forgive i made this decision for my future karina self
01:00:53i just want to i don't know i just feel like asking you to
01:00:55maybe try a little harder to move past it i just i just want to try to convince her again you know like
01:01:08if she does i'm i'll i'll i'll be able to open arms oh cool 100 percent
01:01:21i'll be able to look at my future
01:01:25wow
01:01:38karina just watching your journey back there how does that make you feel
01:01:42Ah, it's, yeah, just bringing up some uncomfortable situations, um, yeah, reaffirming my decision.
01:01:59Paul, how do you feel after seeing that?
01:02:05That was a lot.
01:02:05I, I, I know I've made, I've made a few mistakes along the way, but I, I,
01:02:21Karina has also, like, like, probably not as much as I did, but Karina has also, like,
01:02:25did certain, did say certain things to me or has done certain things that, that,
01:02:29who have also made me feel extremely uncomfortable and upset at times.
01:02:32Paul, I've had enough.
01:02:39I'm going to tell you the way it is.
01:02:43You have to stop playing the victim.
01:02:47And look at me when I'm talking to you.
01:02:49Because I won't get another chance to give this to you straight.
01:03:02Karina has also, like, like, probably not as much as I did, but Karina has also, like,
01:03:09did certain, did say certain things to me or has done certain things that, that, that,
01:03:13who have also made me feel extremely uncomfortable and upset at times.
01:03:16Paul, I've had enough.
01:03:20I'm going to tell you the way it is.
01:03:22You have to stop playing the victim.
01:03:28And look at me when I'm talking to you.
01:03:30Because I won't get another chance to give this to you straight.
01:03:36And you need to change.
01:03:37I have seen a guy who has consistently broken his partner's trust, not once, not twice, three times.
01:03:52The first thing, you overreacted to a comment in a car.
01:03:59You punched a wall.
01:04:01That's violence.
01:04:04No excuse.
01:04:04You did it and you shouldn't have.
01:04:09The second thing, you talk outside of your relationship to Athena without telling Karina about it.
01:04:20You threw her under the bus.
01:04:23That's betrayal.
01:04:24The third thing, you get a chance to really grow your bond by saying,
01:04:32no, I'm not going to meet another woman for a date.
01:04:36And you say, you know what, I'm curious.
01:04:39I think I will.
01:04:44Are you hearing me?
01:04:46Yes, I'm hearing you, John.
01:04:49Any way you look at it, it's bad.
01:04:51And I don't like to sit this close and watch someone blame the person
01:04:59who's been on the receiving end of that.
01:05:03Rolling your eyes, shrugging, saying she's not compatible because of these reasons.
01:05:07Frankly, it just made me sick in the stomach.
01:05:16This must be a wake-up call to you.
01:05:18It is.
01:05:25Karina, I'm curious, how do you feel?
01:05:29Um, I wanted the fairytale ending and I didn't get it.
01:05:35So, yeah, it's disappointing.
01:05:37I just wish you kind of switched on a little bit more and considered the repercussions and
01:05:46how you would make me feel by, like, choosing what you did.
01:05:50I'm sorry.
01:05:58Yeah, so I think my question is to you, are you genuine?
01:06:02That's all it comes down to.
01:06:04What do you mean?
01:06:05If he wanted to be in this experiment for the right reasons.
01:06:08Well, ask him.
01:06:10Of course not.
01:06:11I already have.
01:06:12Of course not.
01:06:13And you know, you know, you know that?
01:06:14Yeah.
01:06:14Because taking you on dates, doing fun stuff together.
01:06:18I was genuinely, I was loving spending time with you.
01:06:21I know I've made, like, some terrible mistakes.
01:06:27Like, I know I'm not perfect and I know there's a lot of work that I need to do on myself.
01:06:30I know that.
01:06:31As much as it's hard to hear, I know there's a lot of things that I need to improve.
01:06:40And what about you, Karina?
01:06:41Have you taken away any lessons from this?
01:06:44Yeah, I think the biggest thing for me is pretty much to just trust my gut and be more confident
01:06:51within myself.
01:06:52I know I'm, like, a bit more chilled and laid back and I tolerate more things than I should,
01:06:57so I need to be more firm.
01:07:01Yeah.
01:07:04Well, look, when you came into the experiment, there were high hopes.
01:07:07But tonight was very important, you know, because these are opportunities to learn.
01:07:13And this experiment is, yes, you want to try and get the fairy tale.
01:07:16But if you don't, it's very important to change the way in which you're operating in relationships.
01:07:23And I know it's been difficult at times, but we really wish the both of you all the best for
01:07:30what's to come.
01:07:31So thank you, guys.
01:07:35You can go back.
01:07:43Coming up...
01:07:44Have you dropped the I love you yet?
01:07:47The relationship update we've all been waiting for.
01:07:51We actually haven't said that, um...
01:07:54No time like now.
01:07:55Um...
01:07:56Don't leave us hanging.
01:07:59I...
01:08:00Next up on the couch...
01:08:13Rhi and Jeff.
01:08:20Hi.
01:08:22Well, I have to say, we are all so happy to see the two of you still together, loved up.
01:08:30Wow.
01:08:33Yeah.
01:08:36How's it all going?
01:08:37Uh, yeah, it's going great.
01:08:38Since we left the experiment, I think we've had about one or two days apart from each other.
01:08:43Wow.
01:08:43All the things we love doing in the experiment translated perfectly into the real world.
01:08:51We've hung out with our friends and go to the gym together still and lunches and dinners and
01:08:55it's just been really, really nice.
01:08:58Yeah.
01:09:00What do you think is the secret to that?
01:09:01Because a lot of couples sit on this couch and talk about taking the relationship out of the
01:09:08experiment into the real world and it's really difficult.
01:09:13Yeah.
01:09:13Why do you think you found it easy?
01:09:15I think because we did what we said we were going to do.
01:09:19Jeff, like, never dropped the ball ever in the experiment and then out of the experiment.
01:09:25He always does what he says he's going to do and he's very consistent.
01:09:30I think we're both very consistent with one another.
01:09:33I feel like Jeff just makes me calm all the time.
01:09:38And yeah, I feel like that's why it has been so easy.
01:09:43Outside of the experiment and in as well.
01:09:46Yeah.
01:09:47Well, we would all love to sit here right now and watch your journey in this experiment.
01:09:55Let's do that.
01:09:56Okay.
01:10:08Oh my God.
01:10:09Hi, Ray.
01:10:12Hi, Jeff.
01:10:13Yeah.
01:10:14I know my husband.
01:10:16Hello.
01:10:19Well.
01:10:21Hey, guys.
01:10:21I've slept together a few times.
01:10:28Jeff is an amazing person.
01:10:30If there was anyone that you could pair me up with that I'd dated in the past, Jeff's a
01:10:35good pick.
01:10:36I put my faith in the experts.
01:10:38Maybe there's a reason that she was the person that was standing there when I turned around
01:10:41today.
01:10:42So is Ray the time that got away?
01:10:45Oh, time will tell.
01:10:49Usually the more I hang out with someone, the less likely I am to see a potential relationship.
01:10:55But with you, the more we are together, the more potential I see in us.
01:10:58P.S. You need to make the first move.
01:11:14Oh.
01:11:15Every day has been better than the last.
01:11:16I feel more comfortable by holding Ray's hand or giving her a cuddle, giving her a kiss.
01:11:21Shall we dance?
01:11:22I could probably see myself falling for Jeff.
01:11:31I think so.
01:11:33Come back.
01:11:33Oh, yes.
01:11:37We've been intimate.
01:11:44Wifey.
01:11:45You look so nice.
01:11:46We're not filming, are we?
01:11:56Oh, we are.
01:12:07Home sweet home.
01:12:08Back to where it all began.
01:12:09Do you remember the couch the last time?
01:12:11Yes, I remember our first kiss on the couch.
01:12:13Yes, I do.
01:12:13Oh, no, no, no.
01:12:15Yeah, I'm looking forward to getting back to Sydney, but I'm more looking forward to coming
01:12:18back here.
01:12:20Yeah, me too.
01:12:21In saying that.
01:12:22Ooh.
01:12:24Here's a spare key.
01:12:25Oh, that's so cute.
01:12:29We can now reveal that during the matchmaking process, there was more than one person you
01:12:34were compatible with.
01:12:36For this final task, you have the opportunity if you choose to meet them.
01:12:40Definitely not.
01:12:45I don't want to meet them.
01:12:49No.
01:12:50No, back to the Game Boy.
01:12:55Meeting someone else would just be, I think, a bit stupid in my eyes.
01:12:59I would be probably the dumbest person in the world.
01:13:06It's very rare that people go from a romantic relationship to a friendship,
01:13:09then back to a romantic relationship.
01:13:12I just didn't think that I would be able to be romantic with Jeff again.
01:13:16But the task from the experts were extremely helpful.
01:13:19Like, I think they are the reason that we are no longer in the friend zone.
01:13:29You look amazing.
01:13:33Riri, I can confidently say, Riri, I am falling in love with you.
01:13:42I choose you and I hope this is forever.
01:13:44Jeffy, you are worth every day, every week, every month it takes to discover our happily ever after.
01:13:53And right now, I can say, I'm falling in love with you.
01:14:01That's all.
01:14:05That's so good.
01:14:06You're on top of the world.
01:14:16We're on top of the world.
01:14:18Wow.
01:14:20That was so nice to watch.
01:14:22That was so beautiful to watch.
01:14:24Yeah.
01:14:24Yeah, it's crazy to see where we started and where we are.
01:14:27Yeah.
01:14:27Yeah.
01:14:28Well, that's about a month ago and the two of you were both very clearly talking about falling in love.
01:14:36With each other.
01:14:39Where are you both at today?
01:14:46Have you dropped the I love you yet?
01:14:48We actually haven't said that.
01:14:51No time like now.
01:14:55Don't leave us hanging.
01:14:57I...
01:15:06Don't leave us hanging.
01:15:07Have you dropped the I love you yet?
01:15:19We actually, we actually haven't, we actually haven't said that.
01:15:36No, we haven't said it yet.
01:15:37We haven't said that.
01:15:38Um, but, um, in saying that,
01:15:46I, I do love you, Ree.
01:15:47Oh, wow.
01:15:56I love you too.
01:15:57Oh, wow.
01:16:07They've done it.
01:16:08They've done it.
01:16:09They did it.
01:16:09They did it.
01:16:10They did it.
01:16:10They did it.
01:16:11They did it.
01:16:13Oh.
01:16:13Oh.
01:16:13Oh, wow.
01:16:14This is wonderful.
01:16:17Yeah.
01:16:18How does it feel to know that each other has actually uttered those magic words?
01:16:23No, it feels, it feels incredible.
01:16:26I think we have just been kind of waiting for someone to say it.
01:16:30Yeah.
01:16:30Yeah.
01:16:30Definitely.
01:16:31Yeah.
01:16:31I guess the prompt was needed.
01:16:33And, uh, thank you for the prompt because, um, yeah, it feels amazing to be honest.
01:16:37So, Geoff, for you, what does the future hold for you and Ree?
01:16:44I guess the next step would probably be...
01:16:46Baby.
01:16:46Babies.
01:16:48I think just really enjoying normal life, going on some holidays together.
01:16:52Yeah.
01:16:53And maybe living together back in Melbourne or that.
01:16:56Practically living there.
01:16:57Yeah, practically living together already.
01:16:59But, um, you know, want to enjoy the relationship and just really enjoy that.
01:17:03Yeah.
01:17:04I think that it's just nice to enjoy each other's company and
01:17:07just be, I guess, in the present moment.
01:17:11But, yeah, I definitely want to, like, settle down and have kids one day.
01:17:14But, um, yeah, for, I guess, the next year, travel and have fun and enjoy each other's company.
01:17:19Well, how happy are the two of you that you met for the second time?
01:17:22Yes.
01:17:23Very happy.
01:17:24Married at second sight.
01:17:25That's it.
01:17:29It has been an amazing journey.
01:17:31And, um, once again, thank you for matching us.
01:17:33Yeah.
01:17:34Obviously, at the start, we were very, uh, worried about the matching.
01:17:37But, um, yeah, timing's everything, I guess.
01:17:39And the timing was right.
01:17:41Yeah.
01:17:41Right now.
01:17:49Well, thank you so much for your time in this experiment.
01:17:53Your courage, your authenticity.
01:17:55We salute you and wish you both all the best and all the happiness in the world.
01:18:00Awesome. Thank you so much.
01:18:01Thank you so much, Bags.
01:18:07Well, it has been 12 seasons of MAPS.
01:18:11And just when we thought that we've seen it all, yet again, we were proven wrong.
01:18:20For those of you leaving here with love, we wish you all the best.
01:18:24And for those of you walking away single, we hope that you can take the lessons learned here
01:18:32and apply them to your future relationships.
01:18:35Congratulations.
01:18:36You got there.
01:18:37You did it.
01:18:38And we are so proud of you all.
01:18:41Thanks, everyone.
01:18:42Woo!
01:18:52Take care of yourself.
01:18:53I'm sorry.
01:18:54Oh, look at this.
01:18:56I finally get to hug you.
01:18:58I'll tell you what I need to stop here.
