00:00:00 After eight life-changing weeks, the end of the experiment has arrived.
00:00:05 Returning to Sky Suites following homestays,
00:00:09 and with final vows just around the corner,
00:00:12 our brides and grooms are dressing to impress
00:00:15 for the final dinner party of the experiment.
00:00:19 That pink is so perfect for my outfit.
00:00:21 You like? Yeah, I really love it.
00:00:23 That's all that matters, then.
00:00:25 Awesome.
00:00:26 I'm gonna do a red lip.
00:00:28 Really? Yeah.
00:00:30 So, no kisses tonight?
00:00:32 (CHUCKLES)
00:00:33 There you go.
00:00:35 So, Tani and I, we've had a really good homestay.
00:00:38 Um, you know, saw the sights of Bondi.
00:00:41 Um, what a place.
00:00:43 Busy as all get-out. Cute little house.
00:00:46 You were like bloody Mary Poppins in that joint,
00:00:49 like, constantly just pulling out things.
00:00:50 I'm like, "Where's this coming from?"
00:00:52 Everywhere's got a spot.
00:00:53 Yeah, I had a really nice time.
00:00:56 I'm excited to hear everyone's homestays went.
00:00:59 100%.
00:01:02 Do I really want to move to Bondi?
00:01:04 Yeah, I would if Tani's there.
00:01:06 I don't think it really matters.
00:01:07 I think that's what I'm obviously moving for.
00:01:10 Not bothered about the location.
00:01:11 If she lived out on a farm in the Blue Mountains,
00:01:14 that's probably gonna be some other questions.
00:01:16 Are there farms in the Blue Mountains?
00:01:18 I'm not sure.
00:01:19 In stark contrast to Tani and Oli,
00:01:22 who haven't looked back
00:01:23 since they first locked eyes on their wedding day,
00:01:26 Melinda and Leighton have had to work hard
00:01:29 to get their relationship to where it is.
00:01:32 And this has left Leighton wondering
00:01:33 how they will survive outside the experiment
00:01:36 without the guidance of the experts.
00:01:39 I feel like I'm reflecting on the time that I've spent here,
00:01:42 and it does weigh on my mind a lot.
00:01:44 That Mel's really emotional,
00:01:46 and that I'm really logical and rational.
00:01:48 I think that because I've sort of been on my own path,
00:01:50 my own journey for 10, 15 years,
00:01:52 that I've had to become really resilient.
00:01:54 So, you know, because of that,
00:01:56 I find emotional connection quite challenging, you know?
00:01:59 Opening myself up and letting someone in.
00:02:01 I feel like now we're sort of coming to the end of this journey.
00:02:06 You know, did we do enough, you know,
00:02:07 like, in the time that we were here?
00:02:09 Everyone just had homestays.
00:02:11 And when they ask you, like, "How did homestays go?"
00:02:14 Like, what's your first initial response, do you think?
00:02:18 Well, I think it was up and down.
00:02:20 I feel like we both want our relationship to work together.
00:02:24 But I think we're both intelligent...
00:02:28 ..enough...
00:02:31 ..to know that it may not ever work.
00:02:36 Oh, (BLEEP)
00:02:45 Come here.
00:02:46 Oh!
00:02:49 But I think there were some positive things that came from it.
00:02:51 If there's anything that needs to be left on the table,
00:02:53 now's the time to do it.
00:02:54 And so, cheers to our last dinner party. Cheers.
00:02:58 For Evelyn,
00:02:59 despite consummating her marriage with Rupert during homestays,
00:03:03 there is one thing at the forefront of her mind
00:03:06 heading into the final dinner party -
00:03:09 Rupert's outfit.
00:03:10 You're giving me Dr Evil vibes today.
00:03:14 I don't quite know who that is, but... Do this.
00:03:16 Is he the bald fella? Do this.
00:03:19 Is he the bald guy of, um...
00:03:22 ..the Minions? You know, the Minions fella?
00:03:25 What are you talking about? The bald Minions fella?
00:03:27 No, it's Austin Powers, Dr Evil.
00:03:30 Anyway, you look stunning. Thank you.
00:03:32 Yeah. I love this little, um... What is it?
00:03:35 ..like, unhealthy pea colour, innit?
00:03:37 You're pulling it off, though. Why are you like this?
00:03:42 You're pulling it off. Why are you like this?
00:03:45 I don't get it.
00:03:47 What do you mean? Why are you like this?
00:03:49 Like what? Like, how...?
00:03:51 Does my mind work like that? I don't think it does work.
00:03:54 Like, in what world and what universe
00:03:57 do you think complimenting your wife, saying,
00:03:59 "I love your dress, it looks like an unhealthy pea colour"?
00:04:02 Like, before that comes out of your mouth, do you think,
00:04:04 "Oh, you know what? That's going to be a great compliment"?
00:04:07 Yeah.
00:04:09 It's definitely been a slow burn with Rupert and I, to say the least.
00:04:13 I think the main thing that Rupert and I have been struggling with
00:04:17 since the day of our wedding
00:04:19 is understanding each other and communication.
00:04:22 Is this where we talk?
00:04:24 Yeah.
00:04:26 Look at your hands, how they...
00:04:29 Like, he doesn't really say the nicest things,
00:04:31 and I've been very patient to understand that,
00:04:34 but it's hard for me to defend him, you know?
00:04:37 Am I a good cuddler?
00:04:38 You are a very good cuddler, Rupert.
00:04:41 Thank you.
00:04:42 Um...
00:04:44 Did you put deodorant on this morning?
00:04:46 And more troubling for Evelyn,
00:04:51 Rupert's foot-in-mouth disease reared its head yet again
00:04:55 when meeting her mother.
00:04:56 So, this relationship, you will be keep going on,
00:04:59 or you will give up?
00:05:01 I want to focus on now.
00:05:02 Like, I think if I find myself thinking about
00:05:06 what we're doing in a month or two time,
00:05:08 like, that'll stress me out,
00:05:11 and I'll not be myself around you.
00:05:14 Now that I've scratched the surface
00:05:19 and really gotten to know Rupert,
00:05:21 I know that everything he does and everything he says
00:05:24 all comes from a good place,
00:05:27 even though he's as graceful with his words
00:05:30 as a bull in a china shop.
00:05:33 Jeez, your arse does look good in that.
00:05:34 Oh, my God. In that piss yellow.
00:05:39 Following a catastrophic homestay
00:05:41 where Bronte's sister Kira grilled Harrison
00:05:44 and highlighted his gaslighting behaviour for Bronte to see,
00:05:48 the couple have now returned to Sydney
00:05:51 and are staying in separate apartments.
00:05:54 They are now further apart than at any point in the experiment
00:05:59 and will enter the final dinner party alone.
00:06:02 It doesn't matter what boundaries I put in place
00:06:04 or what deal-breakers I establish with Bronte,
00:06:06 they mean nothing to her.
00:06:08 Essentially, at homestays,
00:06:10 Bronte and her sister attacked me in public.
00:06:14 So, are you still in that mindset,
00:06:17 in the relationship where you would want her to move to Sydney,
00:06:20 yes or no?
00:06:21 Yes. You would?
00:06:25 And I don't feel like I got any of that reassurance from Bronte
00:06:30 this entire time.
00:06:31 So, in the conversation,
00:06:35 did you ever say that you would move,
00:06:37 like you would definitely move?
00:06:38 100%. Multiple times.
00:06:40 What are you talking about? None of that stuff ever happened.
00:06:42 I feel like you're always trying to play victim.
00:06:44 It's always trying to make Bronte look bad.
00:06:47 I'm not going to sit here and be told...
00:06:49 No, you're not going to sit here and be held accountable
00:06:52 for being a narcissistic, gaslighting dickhead.
00:06:56 Don't treat my sister... Goodbye. See you later.
00:06:58 And that, ladies and gentlemen, is a coward.
00:07:01 Throw her in the bin.
00:07:03 It was like two hyenas trying to attack a lion.
00:07:05 And the lion just walks away. He knows... He knows who he is.
00:07:08 He doesn't have to square up to a couple of little hyenas.
00:07:11 Yeah, the final dinner party and I'm walking in by myself,
00:07:17 I actually feel the most confident
00:07:20 that I have felt this entire time.
00:07:22 Um...
00:07:23 You know, it's funny what a little bit of home can do
00:07:28 for one's self-esteem and for one's clarity.
00:07:31 Being around my sister just gave me so much insight
00:07:34 into this relationship.
00:07:36 Harrison and I haven't spoken one word to each other
00:07:39 since he walked off.
00:07:40 So I would rather walk in by myself
00:07:44 than walk in with somebody who has ill intentions.
00:07:47 This relationship is done.
00:07:50 You know, at the end of the day, like, with this whole experiment,
00:07:53 I said this to myself coming in, that love isn't guaranteed,
00:07:56 but I definitely think I'm leaving with more love for myself.
00:07:59 With one relationship confirmed to be all but over,
00:08:03 Alyssa and Duncan also find themselves
00:08:05 at a difficult juncture in their marriage
00:08:08 following a testing homestay.
00:08:10 I was hoping homestays would give me much more clarity
00:08:13 and, like, reassurance,
00:08:15 but that's talking about, you know,
00:08:17 we can see each other on Wednesday and Sunday
00:08:19 or every second weekend, I just thought...
00:08:22 ..I don't know, that it's not...that it might not be right.
00:08:27 How does it make you feel, like, the fact that you
00:08:32 probably will be second priority?
00:08:34 Oh, that part's fine, actually.
00:08:36 Fine? Yeah. Yeah.
00:08:38 It'll be, like, every other weekend
00:08:39 and maybe, like, a Wednesday here or there.
00:08:42 But, like, your job's really hectic during the week,
00:08:45 where I feel like the weekends are probably the only time
00:08:47 that we will actually be able to spend time together,
00:08:49 and that will only be every other weekend.
00:08:51 Do you think the last three, four weeks was a good relationship?
00:08:55 Do you? No.
00:08:59 If you think that that was, like, a normal or OK relationship,
00:09:03 that scares me.
00:09:04 I don't want to see it. Don't get it.
00:09:08 It makes me feel really worried that...
00:09:15 I don't know if Alyssa has had thoughts
00:09:17 about what a great relationship should look like.
00:09:20 Do you think the things that we discussed at the final date
00:09:24 were new things?
00:09:26 Bit of a reality check for me, I guess.
00:09:29 I don't think there's any more clarity I can get.
00:09:36 I feel like even if we had a year's worth of time to speak about it,
00:09:42 we would just continuously go round in circles.
00:09:45 My love for Duncan and my care for Duncan isn't gonna change overnight.
00:09:51 But, um...
00:09:52 Yeah, I'm really... I'm really not sure where my head is at right now,
00:09:55 but it's definitely not where I thought it was gonna be,
00:09:58 even a week ago.
00:09:59 So, here we are, the final dinner party for this experiment,
00:10:20 and it is a really pivotal moment for the whole process
00:10:23 because these guys are so close now to making this final decision
00:10:27 of whether they take their relationship into the real world.
00:10:31 And we get to present to them the honesty box tonight.
00:10:35 There probably are people here tonight who think,
00:10:39 "Let's just go under the radar, let's just get through the dinner and leave."
00:10:43 But... not a chance.
00:10:45 No such luck.
00:10:46 I feel like Alyssa and Duncan having been on homestays,
00:10:51 which is what they wanted the whole time, like, to get out of the experiment,
00:10:54 I reckon they would have thrived and they'll be sitting in there pretty.
00:10:58 What's so unique about this honesty box is that we've designed
00:11:11 to really make them come clean about what they really want from a relationship
00:11:17 and whether their intimate partner is compatible or not.
00:11:21 There they are, Alyssa and Duncan, first couple in,
00:11:35 not even holding hands.
00:11:37 Looking very separate.
00:11:40 - Oh, dear. - Very frosty.
00:11:42 Big or small?
00:11:47 Whatever.
00:11:48 - She's not happy tonight. - No, she is not happy.
00:11:52 Well, considering we're gonna drop the honesty box on them as well,
00:11:55 - that is not a good sign. - No.
00:11:57 How are you going?
00:12:00 What do you think?
00:12:02 She can withdraw and retreat and go very cold,
00:12:08 - and he then walks on eggshells. - Yes. - And we've seen it.
00:12:16 (CLINKS)
00:12:18 Who's here?
00:12:21 - Aha! - OK.
00:12:23 - Hey, hey. - Saved by the door.
00:12:26 And, you know, probably she'll warm up now.
00:12:28 - Eveline and Rupert are here. - Break the ice.
00:12:31 - How was homestays? - We had fun. - Good.
00:12:34 - Cheers, guys. - Cheers.
00:12:36 - Cheers. - How about you guys?
00:12:38 (CLEARS THROAT)
00:12:41 Should we sit down? What the hell?
00:12:45 It feels like someone's died in this room. We've walked into a funeral.
00:12:50 Did Duncan take you on the boat? He says he never takes anyone on the boat.
00:13:00 OK, that's not true.
00:13:02 The boat day was great until the last hour.
00:13:06 - Then it went very south. - What, just seasick, or...? (LAUGHS)
00:13:10 You could say that.
00:13:12 We were, like, sitting down. Duncan had made, like, this cute, like, charcuterie board,
00:13:16 and I was, like, ready to tell him, like, how I'm falling for him,
00:13:19 and I can't wait to see how things go. And then...
00:13:22 - Major! - He...
00:13:25 pretty much ripped our entire relationship apart.
00:13:29 (DRAMATIC MUSIC)
00:13:31 (GENTLE MUSIC)
00:13:39 (GENTLE MUSIC CONTINUES)
00:13:41 Did Duncan take you on the boat? He says he never takes anyone on the boat.
00:13:46 OK, that's not true.
00:13:48 We were, like, sitting down. Duncan had made, like, this cute, like, charcuterie board,
00:13:53 and I was, like, ready to tell him, like, how I'm falling for him,
00:13:58 and I can't wait to see how things go. And then...
00:14:01 - Major! - Yeah, he pretty much ripped our entire relationship apart.
00:14:08 I think that's a pretty strong sentence for a listener to say.
00:14:13 Yeah, it's pretty hard to hear.
00:14:15 Well, from my perspective, I think homestays are about having a lot of fun together
00:14:22 but also talking about concerns you have and the things that you wanna, like, work through.
00:14:27 And so, like, if that's classified as, you know, ripping someone's heart out...
00:14:34 - Are you guys on the same page now, though? - Definitely not.
00:14:38 - Definitely not. - Right.
00:14:40 He's pointing out here that Alyssa's thinking is catastrophic.
00:14:45 She has a hard time with feedback that she feels is not flattering or positive in her eyes.
00:14:52 You guys will get through it.
00:14:54 I don't— Yeah.
00:14:56 I don't know.
00:14:58 I've never heard you say that before.
00:15:02 It's tough.
00:15:04 (SIREN WAILS)
00:15:06 - There he is. - Oh, matching pink!
00:15:10 Hello, hello.
00:15:12 - Look at these two, matching, matching. - Tony and Ollie. That is a very couple outfit.
00:15:17 - I love it. So cute. - What are you?
00:15:20 I suspect these two have had a fantastic homestay.
00:15:23 Mate, Bondi lived it up.
00:15:25 - Bondi. - Tonight, I'm vibing. I'm straight vibing.
00:15:28 I love these dinner parties because you find out things you don't even know.
00:15:33 - Do you wanna hear a secret? - Yeah, f*** yes.
00:15:36 - I let Rupert hit. - What?
00:15:39 - F*** off. - Yeah.
00:15:41 - Oh. - (LAUGHS)
00:15:42 - Translation, they had sex. - They had sex.
00:15:46 So, thoughts, feelings, emotions about it?
00:15:49 Yeah, I definitely think it's more like me taking the lead.
00:15:55 - OK. Are you fine with that? - No.
00:15:58 - OK, you want him to take charge. - Yes.
00:16:01 - He's just a bit goofy. - Yeah.
00:16:04 - You know what? His heart's in the right place. - Yeah.
00:16:08 - There's not a malicious bond in his body. - No.
00:16:11 - Who is it? - Oh, Harrison.
00:16:15 - So little Harrison. - Hello, Harrison.
00:16:19 - Nice to see you. - Nice to see you.
00:16:20 - It's been their pattern, up and down. They're good one week, they're not good the other.
00:16:25 - Lads, how are we? - Good.
00:16:27 - What was it like for you, walking in by yourself?
00:16:30 - It's fine.
00:16:32 - Well, well, well.
00:16:36 When Harrison walked in by himself, I thought, 'Oh, shit. Here we go again.'
00:16:42 Harrison, I wanna know, did you love Perth?
00:16:45 - I really liked Perth, yeah.
00:16:47 We got there, like, went to the beach together, went to, like, a winery.
00:16:52 And then on the last night we were there, Bronte just viciously attacked me.
00:16:59 And Bronte's sister started shouting, 'Oh, you're a gaslighting, narcissistic dickhead.'
00:17:05 - Finally, someone grew the cojones to stand up to the big boofhead.
00:17:15 - You can't talk to someone like that.
00:17:17 Bronte didn't defend me.
00:17:19 - Bronte's finally got full-on support from her sister.
00:17:24 And perhaps found a voice.
00:17:27 - Didn't even make sure I got home safe.
00:17:29 I didn't even see her until, like, at the airport the next day.
00:17:33 - Listening to Harrison speak right now, he is most definitely playing the victim card.
00:17:40 - I feel like my boundaries in this relationship have been seriously violated.
00:17:45 - I don't wanna listen to this. Can we talk about you guys?
00:17:48 - Yeah, let's go back to you guys.
00:17:50 - No, we're just gonna... - We're just gonna have a girls' chat.
00:17:54 - Over there. Yeah, sorry.
00:17:58 - Hi. - Yo.
00:18:07 - Melinda Leighton.
00:18:09 - They, I'm sure, have been up and down.
00:18:12 - How's the homestay?
00:18:14 - It was, like, heaps of fun, but also some really hard discussion,
00:18:17 just about things that we both see differently on.
00:18:20 - How'd you guys go? - Mate?
00:18:22 - Sounds a lot like us. - Sounds a lot.
00:18:25 - Wow, it's a dinner party. Crazy, isn't it?
00:18:33 - It is pretty crazy, and everyone's been away, so...
00:18:36 - Doing homestays. - Yeah.
00:18:38 - Olly and Tati, I reckon, would have had went pretty well.
00:18:41 They'd have paid a couple of those, too. - Yeah.
00:18:43 - It doesn't matter where she lives, to me.
00:18:45 Bondi, very beautiful.
00:18:47 - Obviously, my apartment's way too small for both of us.
00:18:49 We established that very quick.
00:18:51 - We have to move out together. - Have to move out?
00:18:53 - That might be good for both of you guys, to, like, make a home together.
00:18:56 - Oh, bitch, you better invite me to the wedding.
00:18:58 - I'll be. - I'll be!
00:19:01 - Did you make me sick?
00:19:03 (both laugh)
00:19:05 - No, no, no, they're very good together. - They are.
00:19:08 - I feel, I guess, like, worried about where our relationship's going.
00:19:15 - You all right, Linda? - Yeah, I'm OK.
00:19:20 - I think maybe where I'm at is kind of like,
00:19:23 we were in his world, and he was in his element,
00:19:27 and I still didn't feel like he really stepped up and wanted me to be part of that.
00:19:32 Am I going to our last dinner party?
00:19:35 But I don't really, like, I'm not filled with confidence
00:19:39 that our relationship's gonna withstand whatever's coming next.
00:19:47 - Who goes there? - Hey!
00:19:50 - Conor McGregor.
