00:00:00Previously...
00:00:02There's a key to my apartment.
00:00:04That's so cute, thank you.
00:00:06Homestays saw significant breakthroughs.
00:00:08The hardest decision is to fight,
00:00:10and that's what we want to do, and I want to move forward.
00:00:12As our couples began planning their futures outside of the experiment.
00:00:17Just because the experiment comes to an end,
00:00:19doesn't mean we come to an end.
00:00:21If it all ended abruptly tomorrow,
00:00:24is my daughter going to get heartbroken?
00:00:27But TJ left Beth feeling devastated.
00:00:30There's obviously something that's lacking between us for me to say,
00:00:33yes, I want to have a relationship with this person.
00:00:35That was really hard to hear.
00:00:37Your beard isn't very manly.
00:00:39Your brain is so small.
00:00:41My brain is small? Yeah.
00:00:43And when Jackie and Ryan sampled married life in the real world...
00:00:47I didn't bring you here to listen to your bullshit.
00:00:49Jackie is the most difficult person I've ever tried to date in my life.
00:00:54Tensions hit boiling point.
00:00:56Your behaviour, it's not okay.
00:00:58You're trying to talk over me, you're trying to shut me up.
00:01:00No, I'm going to tell you exactly how I feel.
00:01:02I think he's been absolutely gypped of this experiment
00:01:04by being put with you.
00:01:08Tonight...
00:01:11It's a storm outside and there's about to be a storm inside.
00:01:16It's the second last dinner party of the experiment.
00:01:20TJ, what on earth do you have to say to that then?
00:01:23And TJ is at the centre of the storm.
00:01:26I feel like you've really switched.
00:01:28I can't answer that right now.
00:01:29Has he been entirely honest with Beth?
00:01:32You'll be able to say,
00:01:34yes, I want to continue on the outside and get to know you.
00:01:36And you couldn't answer it.
00:01:38He gave me a house king, which is a bit cute.
00:01:41That's awesome.
00:01:42Some will celebrate their deeper bonds.
00:01:45It's actually quite lovely to watch, isn't it?
00:01:47I'll reflect him on how well things are going.
00:01:50It's beautiful.
00:01:52But for Ryan...
00:01:53I'm sick of it, Jackie.
00:01:54I'm just sick of it.
00:01:55I've had a guffal, mate.
00:01:56Wow.
00:01:57Wow.
00:01:58He's reached his breaking point.
00:02:00This is my house.
00:02:01No, that's not what happened.
00:02:02I got yelled at.
00:02:03Oh, my God.
00:02:04I'm not going to sugarcoat things.
00:02:05I'm not going to tolerate it anymore.
00:02:07As he declares he wants out.
00:02:09I can't...
00:02:10I can't do this, Jackie.
00:02:11Why don't you want to be someone great?
00:02:15Ooh.
00:02:16But Jackie's not taking no for an answer.
00:02:19I don't lose people.
00:02:21People lose me.
00:02:31After travelling far and wide across the country for homestays,
00:02:36all our couples are back in Sydney
00:02:39ahead of the seventh dinner party of The Experiment.
00:02:43Today's dinner party.
00:02:45You look so good, babe.
00:02:46You look good as well.
00:02:47You look so...
00:02:48You look so suave.
00:02:51Having returned from their homestay in Melbourne,
00:02:54Ree and Geoff are going into tonight's dinner party
00:02:58with high hopes for the future.
00:03:00Mine and Geoff's homestay went really well.
00:03:02It was actually better than I expected.
00:03:04Going into homestays,
00:03:06I was worried that the experiment was the glue keeping us together,
00:03:09considering we did date before,
00:03:12and obviously it didn't work out.
00:03:14But homestays really did, I guess, clear up those worries for me
00:03:18because I feel like we were just instantly extremely comfortable
00:03:21and it just felt natural, which was great.
00:03:24During their homestay, Geoff felt so at home with Ree
00:03:28that he decided to take a significant step forward in their relationship.
00:03:33Here is a key to my apartment.
00:03:35Oh, that's so cute. Thank you.
00:03:38So, yeah, come over whenever.
00:03:39I will.
00:03:40As much as possible.
00:03:41I definitely will.
00:03:42Geoff giving me a key on the last day of homestays,
00:03:44it just made me realise how serious this relationship really is.
00:03:48You look great.
00:03:50So do you.
00:03:51It just made me extremely excited
00:03:53to actually start our lives outside of the experiment.
00:03:57I'll be a minute.
00:03:58Alright.
00:03:59Me and Ree, like, we've been so good
00:04:01and homestays was a great week.
00:04:03How weird is it feel being back in the apartment again?
00:04:05I reckon it feels good being here.
00:04:07Yeah, it feels like home.
00:04:08Yeah, it does.
00:04:09Homestays just confirmed that this relationship is real
00:04:12and it feels great to be in it.
00:04:14Everyone will ask us how homestays are,
00:04:15like, yeah, it was good.
00:04:16Yeah.
00:04:17Like, move on.
00:04:18I've been there.
00:04:19Yeah.
00:04:20Yeah, you've been there, yeah.
00:04:21Yeah, no, it was awesome.
00:04:22I had a great week.
00:04:23Every day, every week, my feelings grow stronger
00:04:25and I'm excited about the next few weeks,
00:04:27but I'm excited about life past the experiment.
00:04:30Alright, let's do it.
00:04:31Rhi and Jeff aren't the only couple returning to Sydney on a high.
00:04:38Feeling good.
00:04:39I'm looking forward to the dinner party.
00:04:41Coming back from homestays,
00:04:42I think we're in a good place,
00:04:43if not a better place than we were before we left.
00:04:46I enjoyed seeing what Athena's life is like.
00:04:49And me and Athena obviously have some hurdles,
00:04:51considering the states that we live in,
00:04:53but we're in a good place in our relationship.
00:04:55And I'm excited to see where life takes us.
00:04:58You look nice, Ben, eh?
00:05:00So do you.
00:05:01I like you and pink.
00:05:02I like you and pink.
00:05:03I like you and pink.
00:05:04I'm actually, I'm actually.
00:05:05Yeah, I can't wait to tell everyone about our homestay.
00:05:07Yeah.
00:05:08And how terrible you are.
00:05:12And how much your mum loved me.
00:05:15Adrian and I are in a really good place right now.
00:05:18We had a really great homestay
00:05:19and I'm looking forward to going into the dinner party
00:05:21because we're going in together.
00:05:23And Adrian said he likes Perth.
00:05:26And it's made me feel more confident about our relationship.
00:05:30My mum is cute.
00:05:31My mum is cute.
00:05:34Oh, my God.
00:05:36Yeah, that's for you.
00:05:38Having gone into homestays
00:05:39on a mission to win back his wife's heart.
00:05:42Hello, baby.
00:05:44Dave has been pulling out all the stops.
00:05:48Have a look.
00:05:49Babe, this is like 400 baht.
00:05:51Is that your favourite one?
00:05:52It is, but why would you spend the most money?
00:05:55I feel like I'm constantly eating my words about my relationship
00:05:58because as soon as I'm like,
00:05:59oh, there's no saving us,
00:06:00then apparently there is saving us.
00:06:02Because I care about you.
00:06:05The last two weeks really tested us.
00:06:07But then I think like just as we were like giving up,
00:06:11kind of realised we don't want to not be in each other's lives.
00:06:14We don't want to lose each other's.
00:06:16For Dave, homestays was an opportunity to reaffirm his commitment to fighting for Jamie.
00:06:23I've seen you on the couch last week and I've seen how hurt you were.
00:06:28That's not how I want this to go.
00:06:31I don't want to hurt you at all.
00:06:33And I'm going to have to put the effort in.
00:06:35I want to work on expressing the emotional, romantic side.
00:06:38You're worth doing that for.
00:06:44And Dave also took the step of introducing Jamie to the most important person in his life.
00:06:50His father.
00:06:51It was a super important burden to meet you for me.
00:06:55I was right to finally meet Jamie and she's wonderful.
00:06:58He's very happy.
00:07:00You can tell.
00:07:02Are you sexy minx?
00:07:05I still can't get over this perfume.
00:07:11Do you like it?
00:07:12It's like what rich people smell like.
00:07:14Yeah.
00:07:15Your favourite perfume.
00:07:17I think Jamie and I are in a really good place at the moment.
00:07:20Homestays for me put things into perspective.
00:07:22I realise that I want to make this work and I want to see this out.
00:07:26Delish.
00:07:27Everyone's going to want to like have a bite of me tonight I think.
00:07:31Showing up romantically is a huge, huge thing for Jamie.
00:07:34So I'm just trying to step up and be a good partner.
00:07:40I feel like she's totally worth the effort.
00:07:43And with pink nails.
00:07:44Such a girly girl.
00:07:45I know.
00:07:46First time I've had pink in so long.
00:07:48We like it.
00:07:49Yeah.
00:07:50We're mixing it up because now we're back in love a girl era.
00:07:58But unlike Jamie and Dave, homestays has only brought more confusion to Beth and TJ's relationship.
00:08:05At last week's commitment ceremony, the lack of intimacy in Beth and TJ's marriage was in the spotlight.
00:08:13Why would you say TJ that sexual intimacy and like physical intimacy has some progress for you too?
00:08:19I genuinely believe it's an emotional connection thing and I really want to feel like I was souls into 20.
00:08:26Before moving back into the intimate side of things.
00:08:28Then as they arrived in Brisbane for homestays.
00:08:33Look at this.
00:08:35A little room.
00:08:36Beth shared an update in their relationship.
00:08:38We went on a date and then that night we went into it again, which was awesome.
00:08:43You put yourself away first and then I'll see what's left.
00:08:45He initiated it.
00:08:46He said this whole time he needs more of a connection to sleep with me.
00:08:49So I hope that means that he does have an emotional connection to me because otherwise I guess it wouldn't make sense for him to initiate that.
00:08:56But a conversation with TJ's friends caused Beth to doubt their connection.
00:09:02I think what we're trying to work out at the moment is that is our connection going to flourish into a relationship.
00:09:08Right.
00:09:09So there's obviously something that's lacking between us for me to say, yes, I want to have a relationship with this person.
00:09:14And alone with his friends.
00:09:16I think I'll be back soon.
00:09:17Okay.
00:09:18TJ revealed his true feelings.
00:09:20So as it stands, how do you feel?
00:09:25If you were to tell me after I decided yes or no right now, then it has to be a no because I'm not completely comfortable in here.
00:09:35I have no idea where I stand with TJ.
00:09:38The things that have happened recently in our relationship, we've had some great moments, we've had some great conversations.
00:09:43We've obviously slept with each other again.
00:09:45So in my mind, I thought everything was going really well and then we get to homestays and it's a completely different story.
00:09:51He's clearly been feeling unsure about me before we went to homestays.
00:09:57So why didn't he tell me?
00:10:00I would not have done homestays if I knew he wasn't feeling me. I just wouldn't have.
00:10:04I would love for TJ to kind of make that commitment that we're willing to work on it because I think he's great.
00:10:10I'm not saying that I need him to get down on one knee and propose to me on the outside.
00:10:14All I'm asking is if he's open to just work on it a little bit more.
00:10:19Well, I guess from the conversation from homestays, he just feels very closed off.
00:10:28Hi.
00:10:29Hey.
00:10:31You're good. You're good. How are you feeling?
00:10:33Yeah, I'm alright.
00:10:36Homestays were a little bit, um, much.
00:10:39But, I mean, if that's where we are, that's where we are, you know what I mean?
00:10:44So it's not like we hate each other or anything like that.
00:10:48Yeah.
00:10:50I'm comfortable with walking in however you want.
00:10:52Like, if you wanted to walk in by yourself, I understand.
00:10:54But if you want to walk in together, like, I understand too as well.
00:10:56So I just want to know what you're thinking there.
00:11:00Um, I mean, it's hard because obviously the last conversation, I think we are on different pages, do you know what I mean?
00:11:07Mm.
00:11:08So I feel like first of walking together, it's confusing.
00:11:12Mm.
00:11:15Um, yeah.
00:11:17You're not wearing your wedding ring, does that make sense?
00:11:20Yeah. Yeah.
00:11:23Yeah.
00:11:27It's pretty confronting going to dinner parties, I guess, when you're not in a good position.
00:11:31So, yeah, I don't know.
00:11:33I don't know.
00:11:34Mostly, I obviously don't want people to come at you either.
00:11:38So, you know, it's still a nerve-wracking situation.
00:11:42Maybe we just walk in together then.
00:11:43OK.
00:11:44So it's more comfortable and then we can just get in there and have the conversations and that's it.
00:11:50It's fine with me.
00:11:51So, I'm happy with that.
00:11:53OK.
00:11:54While Beth and TJ put on a united front, Jackie is getting ready alone for the first time ever.
00:12:04After a heated argument with Ryan's friends during homestays.
00:12:08So you're just, like, throwing dirt on me, but you're not even listening to anything.
00:12:11Oh, I'm...
00:12:12How does it feel, Jackie?
00:12:13All you've done is throw dirt on him.
00:12:16Two sets of paperwork saying...
00:12:17OK, calm down.
00:12:18No.
00:12:19You've been great to him the whole time.
00:12:20He's been ripped off this experiment.
00:12:21Jackie, we sat there and watched your behaviour last time.
00:12:23You were so rude.
00:12:24You were so rude.
00:12:25They put you.
00:12:28I'm feeling fine about the dinner party.
00:12:31I've done nothing wrong.
00:12:32Absolutely, absolutely nothing wrong.
00:12:34It's clear as daylight.
00:12:37At Ryan's place, when his friends came for me, that felt like a really unjustified, malicious attack on my heart.
00:12:46And he just sat there.
00:12:49Just disgusting behaviour.
00:12:50Like, I've obviously had real concerns about Ryan and his behaviour, but I've been trying to give him the benefit of the doubt and trying to see the good in him and try and look for the good.
00:13:02Now I realise that supporting him as my husband is a detriment to the world.
00:13:08I feel fine about seeing Ryan at the dinner party.
00:13:11I'll just give him the opportunity to explain what happened and apologise.
00:13:16He's not going to get away with not giving me an apology.
00:13:18Jackie might be looking for an apology, but Ryan is looking for a quick exit.
00:13:26Tonight is going to be pretty definitive in terms of Jackie and I's relationship.
00:13:32I haven't seen Jackie at all since she left my place and kind of chucked a little tantrum and walked out.
00:13:38Now, I'm not saying that I condone the raised voices, but at the same time, my friends are protective of me. They love me. They've heard the terrible things she said and done.
00:13:49I love having a bit of stubble at the very least.
00:13:53Why do you not care if your wife finds you attractive?
00:13:56Jackie is the most difficult person I've ever tried to date in my life.
00:14:00But it's something as simple as a beard.
00:14:02Is there a kind of conversation you could do about anything? Because your brain is so small.
00:14:05I didn't come to your home to argue with you.
00:14:08I didn't bring you here to list your bullshit either.
00:14:11Move office back into office.
00:14:15See, she's heavy. Look at her tail wagging now.
00:14:17Jackie, this is my dog, alright? I know what she tries to get away with, alright?
00:14:20So if you could just respect that, that'd be great.
00:14:25I feel this whole week has just really highlighted to me just how incompatible we are.
00:14:30We make progress and then we burn down. Like, we launch the rocket and then we fall back to Earth.
00:14:34And I can't do the yo-yo anymore. It's not what I want for my life.
00:14:38It all accumulates into me feeling like, what am I doing here?
00:14:42Like, this person is not healthy to be around because she's so full of criticism.
00:14:46Tonight, I'm not going to sugarcoat things.
00:14:48I'm going to let my voice be heard and shed light on what I've been dealing with.
00:14:53I want to make sure that my sight is heard.
00:14:56What can make this right between you both?
00:14:59Nothing can make this right between us.
00:15:18It's a nice day for a dinner party.
00:15:23Isn't it?
00:15:24It's nice to be excited for this dinner party.
00:15:27Yeah.
00:15:28I actually can't wait to go in there and give you the biggest cuddle.
00:15:30Well, we are just about there. This is the second last dinner party for the entire experiment.
00:15:40And this week they've had homestays, which is the perfect opportunity to really try on your partner for size in the real world.
00:15:48And to get more of that critical feedback from family and loved ones.
00:15:53And of course, coming then into the dinner party where they're going to be feeling the effects of that homestay.
00:15:59Are they feeling that they can bask in, like, the gloriousness of how good it was?
00:16:04Or are there real cracks that have now been shown and they're really standing on shirky ground?
00:16:08You know, this is undoubtedly a very important dinner party for all our couples.
00:16:35Alright, first one's in.
00:16:37Afina and Adrian.
00:16:39I don't think we've ever been first.
00:16:41Alright.
00:16:42I kind of like it.
00:16:44They're looking pretty loved up.
00:16:45They're, you know, they're flirting with each other.
00:16:47They're being cutesy.
00:16:49Hey!
00:16:50Oops!
00:16:54Adrian and I are in a good place.
00:16:56So it's really nice that we can walk in together.
00:16:58There's been, you know, a few times where we've come in alone.
00:17:00So it's nice coming in united.
00:17:02I'm looking forward to telling everyone else about our homestay, to be fair.
00:17:05Even having fun.
00:17:08Hey!
00:17:09Hey!
00:17:10Hey!
00:17:11Oh!
00:17:12Rian Jeff.
00:17:13Rian Jeff looking radiant.
00:17:15Very happy entrance.
00:17:16Yes.
00:17:17Lovely to see.
00:17:20Comfortable.
00:17:21He's smiling.
00:17:22Just happy and radiant.
00:17:25How'd you guys go?
00:17:27Yeah, we had a really good homestay.
00:17:29It was really good, like, overall, because it just made me realise that outside of the experiment,
00:17:34we'll work.
00:17:35It's important, yeah, that everyone gets along.
00:17:37It's so good to see that going home reinforced, how strong they are for these two.
00:17:42Yes.
00:17:43They do look really strong, don't they?
00:17:44Yeah.
00:17:45Yeah.
00:17:46Kiss her.
00:17:47Hey!
00:17:48Hey!
00:17:49Hey!
00:17:50Hi!
00:17:51Hi!
00:17:52Hi!
00:17:53Hi!
00:17:54Hi!
00:17:55Jamie and Dave.
00:17:56We're holding hands.
00:17:57That's a good start.
00:17:58Good sign, to begin with.
00:18:00Gorgeous.
00:18:01Hi, guys.
00:18:02Hey!
00:18:03I love pink on you, Athena.
00:18:04Well, assuming homestays weren't well.
00:18:06Yeah.
00:18:07One of the big things that came out from last commitment ceremony was Dave was detached,
00:18:13and we put it on him that if he's going to stick around, he's got to do some heavy lifting
00:18:18and win her back.
00:18:22How were your homestay?
00:18:24Everything kind of turned around.
00:18:26We just, it was like old times was better.
00:18:29He's bought flowers, he bought my favourite perfume.
00:18:32Oh, showing up.
00:18:35She did meet, she did meet my dad.
00:18:37We had a really nice cut chop.
00:18:40So good.
00:18:42This was a big step for him.
00:18:44It is great to see Dave really stepping up, taking our advice on board.
00:18:48Yeah.
00:18:49This is great.
00:18:50We had some good news about him.
00:18:52He, um, his, his cancer's like shrunk significantly.
00:18:56Unbelievable.
00:18:57It was good.
00:18:58It was good.
00:18:59That's amazing.
00:19:00Oh, that's awesome.
00:19:02That's so good.
00:19:06Oh.
00:19:07Hello.
00:19:09How's it going?
00:19:10How do you know, Paul?
00:19:11Oh, my brother.
00:19:12How are you, man?
00:19:13How are you, man?
00:19:14I'm good, man.
00:19:15It's good to see you, dude.
00:19:16Both seem happy.
00:19:17Yeah.
00:19:18How was your home safe?
00:19:19It was really good.
00:19:20Like, it was so nice.
00:19:21Yeah.
00:19:22My family, like, he's already a son to us.
00:19:24And I was like, whoa.
00:19:25Okay.
00:19:26Oh, my God.
00:19:27Okay.
00:19:28Whoa.
00:19:29It is so bloody nice to see everyone in this room loved up.
00:19:33I feel like I can breathe again.
00:19:35I'm going to be drinking my wine, minding my own business.
00:19:38No, actually, no.
00:19:39Never mind my own business.
00:19:40I'm going to be minding everyone else's business.
00:19:42Let's go.
00:19:43You ready?
00:19:44Yeah.
00:19:45Yep.
00:19:46Do you reckon everyone's home stays were as good as ours?
00:19:59It's like the other couples, like, come off a couple of real rough weeks.
00:20:02Like TJ and Beth.
00:20:03When they left it, they didn't seem strong at all.
00:20:05Hey!
00:20:06There they are.
00:20:07Hello.
00:20:08Ah, Beth and TJ.
00:20:09Beth and TJ.
00:20:10Well, after the last commitment ceremony with Beth and TJ, there was no physical affection.
00:20:25Are we going to see a softening between the two of them tonight?
00:20:29Hi, girl.
00:20:31You look so good.
00:20:33So, so good.
00:20:34I need to know.
00:20:35I need to know what's going on.
00:20:36Um, first.
00:20:37My parents asked Rose, do you see this progressing on the outside?
00:20:41And I sat there and I said, I do.
00:20:43Like, it's something I want to work on.
00:20:44And he paused.
00:20:45And then he was like, it's something they're navigating.
00:20:48And then in front of his friends, he said, um, I don't see you progressing into a relationship.
00:20:53And they're feeling so embarrassed.
00:20:56Like, why would you do that to me in front of people?
00:20:59Oh, that would really hurt.
00:21:01That's so tough for Beth.
00:21:02Yes.
00:21:03Beth has never had a relationship.
00:21:05So this is completely new for her.
00:21:07And for Beth, this is very, very confusing.
00:21:10And for the group.
00:21:11For him to say, he knew homestays were around the corner.
00:21:16So why did you not tell me before?
00:21:17Yeah, exactly.
00:21:18I feel for Beth.
00:21:19I feel completely blindsided.
00:21:23I've been in that position.
00:21:24I was there last week.
00:21:25And you've got to speak your truth.
00:21:26Otherwise, nothing's going to change.
00:21:27I'm actually kind of excited to walk in alone for the first time.
00:21:30I actually signed up for a good husband.
00:21:31But this man is not good.
00:21:32He actually, when I think of him, I just think of evil.
00:21:33I think of a black smoke.
00:21:34And I think to myself, what a wonderful world.
00:21:35I usually think Ryan is on the wrong track in life.
00:21:36And he needs to be put back in his life.
00:21:37And I think to myself, what a wonderful world.
00:21:38And I think to myself, what a wonderful world.
00:21:39And I think to myself, what a wonderful world.
00:21:43I usually think Ryan is on the wrong track in life, and he needs to be put back in his
00:22:07place so he can figure it out himself.
00:22:08I didn't come here to support an evil person.
00:22:13He's not self-aware at all.
00:22:27Actually, I'll get better this way.
00:22:34The one thing I'm expecting out of tonight is an apology from Ryan.
00:22:39Ultimately, I need him to make it up to me now, because I'm done.
00:22:45Like, there's nothing I need to apologise for.
00:22:48And it's so clear as daylight.
00:22:49Uh-oh!
00:22:50Jackie's by herself.
00:22:51Is this the first time she's walked in separate from Ryan?
00:23:04Absolutely.
00:23:05Yeah.
00:23:06Yeah.
00:23:07We've never seen Jackie and Ryan separate like this.
00:23:09Oh, dear.
00:23:10You're going to need to get a drink real quick and sit down and talk to everything.
00:23:13Yeah.
00:23:14Thank you, Jeff.
00:23:15All good.
00:23:16Appreciate that.
00:23:17No worries.
00:23:18Oh, let's have a seat.
00:23:20Jackie, what the hell's going on?
00:23:21Yeah, yeah.
00:23:22You're in the hot seat.
00:23:23Tell us.
00:23:24Tell us everything.
00:23:25Yeah.
00:23:26Okay, so it started off really well.
00:23:28Like, we went to Manly first and we actually had a lovely time.
00:23:31We went on a date.
00:23:34Ryan bought me flowers.
00:23:37Um, and then we drove to Campbelltown.
00:23:39So we sit down with our friends and basically, um, we're just having a normal conversation.
00:23:44And then all of a sudden, his friend brings up the letter-writing task and just starts digging into me.
00:23:52So, Ryan had relayed stuff like Jackie said I can't provide for a family and stuff like this, which I didn't do.
00:24:01I'm concerned that you financially contribute less than I will.
00:24:05It's because I'm not convinced that you have enough financial skills.
00:24:09I didn't say that.
00:24:10And so...
00:24:11I heard it, but anyway.
00:24:14It just got more heated.
00:24:15They just started yelling.
00:24:19Like, I'm not even kidding when it was like nothing short of just verbal attacks.
00:24:24I got scolded as well.
00:24:26What sort of stuff were they saying?
00:24:28Things like Ryan is stitched up being with you.
00:24:31You think you're better than him.
00:24:33They're yelling that.
00:24:34They're yelling that.
00:24:35Yelling it at me.
00:24:39What about the letter comic?
00:24:41I'll take it from a grain of salt.
00:24:42Of course.
00:24:43Till he'd both tell you the story.
00:24:44What's remarkable here is traditionally, when someone walks into a cocktail party on their
00:24:53own, they have the support of the group.
00:24:55This time around, Jackie doesn't have that.
00:24:58Well, it seems to be quite clear that the group don't really trust Jackie.
00:25:03I'm not validating what Ryan or his friends did in any way.
00:25:07But that letter you wrote him.
00:25:10God, it was...
00:25:11It would have been hard to hear for anyone.
00:25:13Yeah, exactly.
00:25:16Also, I feel like we don't hear his side too much.
00:25:19Like, he doesn't really talk about his side too much.
00:25:21I think she's going to be playing the victim card very, very hard tonight.
00:25:27These things are going to get off my chest.
00:25:30Literally, homestays week was the tipping point.
00:25:33And it's fallen the wrong way.
00:25:35Jackie was disrespectful, rude and judgemental of all aspects of my life.
00:25:40Like, her conduct was disgraceful.
00:25:43Like, Ryan just sat there and didn't do anything.
00:25:45Like, a grown man was yelling at me.
00:25:47Your friends were speaking to me like I was a dog.
00:25:49And you just sat there and said nothing.
00:25:54This week could have been so much better
00:25:56if Jackie had a bit more self-awareness, a bit more consideration
00:26:01and took some accountability for her behaviour.
00:26:05Where are you at now with Ryan?
00:26:07Well, I'm like, well, you not only owe me an apology,
00:26:10but, like, you need to make it up to me.
00:26:12So you're saying you want an apology.
00:26:14So if he gives you an apology, you're like,
00:26:15oh, sweet, it's all good again?
00:26:16No, I said I want him to make it up to me.
00:26:18There's just bad behaviour happening.
00:26:23I'm not going to tolerate it anymore.
00:26:28It's made me angry.
00:26:30And at the end of the day, I'm not someone who's vindictive,
00:26:33but things need to come to light
00:26:35and she needs to be able to demonstrate
00:26:37that her behaviour can be called out as well,
00:26:39even if she thinks she's above it.
00:26:41I'm just done with it.
00:26:46Hola!
00:27:00Hola!
00:27:01Hello!
00:27:02Hello!
00:27:03Where's Jay?
00:27:04How are you?
00:27:05And there he is.
00:27:06Oh, here's Ryan.
00:27:07Hello!
00:27:08Hello!
00:27:09Hi, lovely to see you.
00:27:11How are you?
00:27:13How are you?
00:27:14How are you?
00:27:15How are you going?
00:27:16Yeah, really good.
00:27:17I'm just amazed that the most confident he's been walking in
00:27:19has been on his own.
00:27:20Alone.
00:27:21How are you, mate?
00:27:22I mean, that's saying something.
00:27:24Good, brother.
00:27:25How are you, man?
00:27:26How are you, man?
00:27:27Really well.
00:27:28Walking in alone?
00:27:29Oh, it's got a unique charm to it, doesn't it?
00:27:33Hey, everyone.
00:27:34Hi, Jackie.
00:27:35Do you call me Jackie?
00:27:36Hi, Jamie.
00:27:38Just going to show up in one of your sharpest suits
00:27:40and just own the moment.
00:27:42How are you, mate?
00:27:43How are you, mate?
00:27:44If you're going to show up, just show up as your best self.
00:27:49What?
00:27:50Like a gladiator.
00:27:51Yeah.
00:27:54Hello.
00:27:55Hi.
00:27:56Jackie was standing there, waiting for him to acknowledge her.
00:27:59That doesn't look, that's not looking good.
00:28:01No, looking good too.
00:28:02Not at all.
00:28:07Oh, hello.
00:28:08Hello.
00:28:09I just can't see how you are.
00:28:10I'm doing good.
00:28:11How are you?
00:28:12Yeah.
00:28:13Feeling fresh, looking fresher.
00:28:16Yeah.
00:28:17I was expecting Ryan to walk through the door with his tail between his legs
00:28:22and come over and apologise.
00:28:25But instead, Ryan is acting like he's a bachelor, just arrived for a party.
00:28:30He's done nothing wrong.
00:28:31And it's not okay.
00:28:32Do you have anything you want to say to me?
00:28:34Um, do you have anything you want to say to me?
00:28:48Have you got anything you want to say?
00:28:53That was a demand.
00:28:54It wasn't really a question.
00:28:56I hadn't planned on it directly.
00:28:58You hadn't planned on anything.
00:29:00Jackie wants me to apologise for being alive, literally.
00:29:04But what have I got to be sorry for?
00:29:06Nothing.
00:29:07There's things I've got in my head that I want to express.
00:29:11Yeah.
00:29:15It was a real shame that things crashed and burned at the end there.
00:29:18Yeah, it's, uh, not ideal.
00:29:22How about you?
00:29:23Do you have anything else to say?
00:29:28What do you mean?
00:29:29Like, the reason why I left, why we're not together tonight.
00:29:32Dinner is served.
00:29:41Ryan was saved by the bell.
00:29:44Ryan is not going to get away from me at the dinner party.
00:29:49Isn't it fascinating?
00:29:50It's a storm outside and there's about to be a storm inside.
00:29:54It's very interesting timing.
00:29:56Yes.
00:29:58Jackie's coming tonight looking for an apology and it's very clear.
00:30:01Ryan's not going to give her one.
00:30:03He's come in with a very different mindset, hasn't he?
00:30:07I'm just ready to get this over and done with.
00:30:09I'm ready to speak my truth.
00:30:12The table's getting smaller, right?
00:30:14So, all this here that's on my chest,
00:30:16he's going to be vocalised.
00:30:19I don't really care what Jackie's asking for me at this point
00:30:21because, honestly, I'm checked out.
00:30:24Cheers!
00:30:25Cheers!
00:30:26Cheers!
00:30:27Cheers!
00:30:28Cheers!
00:30:29Cheers!
00:30:30Cheers!
00:30:31Cheers!
00:30:32Cheers!
00:30:33Cheers!
00:30:34Cheers!
00:30:35I
00:30:41Know
00:30:47Not if you want to demand an apology from me
00:30:52He doesn't even seems to realize he owes me an apology
00:30:56He is so delusional and blows my brains out. Don't you think we should talk about what?
00:31:05I
00:31:08I'm going to be pulling that man aside, and I'm going to teach him a lesson
00:31:17Well, uh, Jackie and Ryan, I'm pretty sure everyone's keen to hear what's actually going on. Yeah
00:31:24I think we should go to chat
00:31:27No, everyone everyone
00:31:29Yeah, I've got some um things I need to get off my chest
00:31:37About the whole week like the full story and whatnot and yeah, I might as well start at the beginning
00:31:45So we turned up at her place within five minutes of going into her place
00:31:50Like we popped on the bed. We're having a nice chat and then she brings up something again for the 50th time she goes
00:31:55Oh
00:31:57Why won't you shave your beard?
00:31:59Oh wow. Oh my god. Are you serious?
00:32:01Why has your hand been an issue from day one?
00:32:03Oh, mate the whole clean-shaven blonde thing again like I don't know man like that's why I grew a beard
00:32:13It's like this is garbage like we've had this conversation a million times what is the point of this and she goes I'm gonna shave it off when you sleep
00:32:25But you know what it's his body his choice
00:32:28Exactly, it's my body. This is what I want to do with my facial hair
00:32:32Actually sounds like a stupid discussion Jackie come on. I know it's stupid. That's not what happened
00:32:38No, no, that's bullshit she goes off. Oh, like you're refusing to have an intellectual discussion with me about it because of your small brain
00:32:47Wow
00:32:53Wow
00:32:59Jackie what about this this that's not okay. You can't be saying that's right
00:33:03Best on what happens right? Oh, we said that to anyone not just Ryan exactly
00:33:08That's not even the best part. What's the best part right? Oh, tell us about far
00:33:17I showed up to my place and honestly like my mood just went up
00:33:21You know like it's my century. I love being around here. I worked my ass off for seven years
00:33:26Renting saving to be able to buy a house before I was 30. Yeah, absolutely love it. It's like my pride and joy
00:33:33Can I ask you something guys did anyone else walk into anyone else's place and
00:33:38Start telling them where to move things and saying I don't like this and you should do this
00:33:42Like exactly range in stuff. Yeah, like take that poster down. I don't like it. What's that doing on the table?
00:33:48Take all these collectibles. It's not how I went
00:33:52Like I have a whiteboard at home and she's going around writing things on there what I should change
00:33:56Oh
00:33:57She's even telling me how to raise Freya my dog
00:34:00This is my house
00:34:02I got yelled at is that because I wasn't walking the dog the way he wanted to say he yelled at you for that
00:34:08Yes, that was so we they're both telling two different stories here
00:34:13So it's really hard to know what actually happened
00:34:16Ryan did you just did you yell no I see that's that's that's her dramatizing shit mate. It's drama
00:34:32Well, what I do know is that the white Ryan talks now there's a real bite in it
00:34:53Yeah, but perhaps we haven't seen to that degree before yes
00:34:57After the dog walk was the French lunch
00:35:01So Adam and Carla two of my best mates they came in they're asking about the relationship
00:35:06Do you like do you appreciate what he's built for himself to appreciate his last all that kind of stuff. Oh, yes
00:35:12Yes, it is. Yes, it is. Yes, it is. They were asking you questions. Yeah, I mean what happened and then what happened was they asked her
00:35:19Why do you think you guys have disagreements?
00:35:23And then she goes off because Ryan always gets defensive and
00:35:26And then she goes and doubles down on the first time and she goes Ryan actually is a liar right to their face once again
00:35:34I didn't say that she did
00:35:38Things got a little bit hidden and I do not condone like the raised voices particularly from my friend's side
00:35:45But she wasn't answering any of their questions. She was just piling more shit on me
00:35:49I was actually trying to engage with him. I was trying to answer their questions and then they just weren't listening and then it just started with throwing insults at me
00:35:58They did not throw insults at you
00:36:00Did I believe it was toxic behavior?
00:36:02Someone's standing up and yelling over Jackie. No. Yeah, he did not stand up and yell over you
00:36:08Like animated I started flying and she was yelling at me, too, and you just don't know what know what because you kept blaming their best mate, right?
00:36:16You've taken zero accountability
00:36:19You took zero accountability you were sitting there deflecting it all onto me once again
00:36:24Whenever the heat is on you whenever you have to demonstrate ownership
00:36:28You never do it
00:36:30I'm sick of it
00:36:33No one deserves to be treated like that
00:36:37Brian did they start yelling at her did Jackie do something for them to get
00:36:40I told them about what Jackie said about me in that letter she said I don't work as hard as her at all
00:36:46And I have serious concerns about your financial future
00:36:53I'm concerned that you financially contribute less than I will and I will end up being the primary breadwinner
00:36:59I'm concerned you don't work as hard as me
00:37:02I
00:37:04Know what was said in the letter because she read it to me
00:37:06I heard it with my own ears. I read it with my own eyes
00:37:09I know what was in the letter so
00:37:12I know Jackie's lying there if you're lying about that which I know is fact then how can I believe anything else you say?
00:37:18Jackie in all seriousness in the cocktail party
00:37:20I called out one of your lies straight away. I didn't address it then but you were talking about what Ryan earned and his job and it wasn't good enough
00:37:27I didn't write that Jeff
00:37:29Oh my god
00:37:30And the career thing came on
00:37:32I heard it you read it to me
00:37:34You said you were concerned with what his job is and how much he earns
00:37:37I didn't say that
00:37:38Jackie's not a liar
00:37:40I'm not a liar
00:37:43I'm not a liar
00:37:44The facts are I said I am concerned about the financial predictability and stability
00:37:51Jackie essentially he doesn't earn enough money
00:37:54I didn't say that Jeff
00:37:56You pretty much said that in the letter
00:37:57That is not the issue
00:37:58Apparently it's not good enough for you
00:38:01I did not say he's not good enough for me
00:38:03I've never ever ever said this man is not good enough for me
00:38:06Jackie you know honestly if that letter got read to me I wouldn't be here right now
00:38:20Yeah I deserve to be yelled at
00:38:22Yeah that's what you're saying
00:38:26I feel like I'm disappointed in some of the group for trying to defend behaviour which is absolutely unacceptable
00:38:35Ryan is a great storyteller
00:38:37He does misrepresent and misconstrue the facts but he is very convincing in the way he tells it
00:38:42He believes his own lies people believe his lies and that makes people turn on me
00:38:48Obviously Ryan's really upset
00:38:50And he distracts everyone from the big elephant in the room which is I was yelled at
00:38:55I was scolded I was ganged up and I was verbally abused by his friends while he was sitting there and he did nothing
00:39:05Jackie you've been backed on the couch many times and Ryan's had to apologise
00:39:09I think sometimes you need to be able to own your part as well
00:39:12You're being scolded at
00:39:18Yeah I'm sorry guys I'm sorry I caused someone to scold at me I'm sorry
00:39:23Honestly I'm like I'm like losing my brain right now are you serious
00:39:28It's clear that Ryan has been feeling this big and he's had enough
00:39:32Yeah I mean what we're seeing tonight is Ryan getting to that tipping point
00:39:39And I think you know really for Jackie to have any chance of turning this around
00:39:45She would have to understand how her words are landing
00:39:49And I don't think she's really got that
00:39:52Ryan's owned up but I haven't heard you own up to one thing
00:39:55What would you like me to own up to?
00:39:56Or something that you've done?
00:39:57What have I done?
00:40:05Jackie Jackie I haven't heard where you've said you've fallen wrong
00:40:12I think I'm too honest yeah
00:40:15Too honest that's a unique
00:40:18Jackie but Jackie that's not nice either because you've said some mean comments
00:40:22That saying what you're saying is truthful
00:40:24What did I say that's mean?
00:40:29In this whole homestay you don't think there's any part that made you went a bit too far
00:40:33Or you said the wrong thing or like you could have handled yourself a little bit better
00:40:43Okay I can own up
00:40:47I'm sorry for not walking Freya the way you wanted me to walk
00:40:50Jackie Jackie Jackie Jackie Jackie Jackie Jackie Jackie Jackie Jackie Jackie
00:40:53You're a smart girl, you know that Esther Cassi
00:40:56What about me?
00:40:58Oh my God
00:41:02Of course Jackie denied she said anything negative
00:41:04You know just absolute garbage
00:41:06Garbage
00:41:08You know like when she has to take ownership
00:41:10She either refuses to or is incapable of it
00:41:11she either refuses to or is incapable of it.
00:41:14This is the difficulties I'm having of my relationship.
00:41:19No one here is amused.
00:41:21No one here is amused by that shit.
00:41:23Come on, Jackie, don't.
00:41:26And then the group's now seen that tonight.
00:41:28I feel vindicated in the way of I was able to tell my story,
00:41:32start to finish, vocalise that,
00:41:34and get everyone in the awareness of what's going on in the relationship.
00:41:38No one here is amused, Jackie.
00:41:40She loves it.
00:41:40It's a weird time.
00:41:42Yeah, when she's in a corner.
00:41:44Laugh or cry.
00:41:45I don't get it.
00:41:47Jackie laughing and, like,
00:41:49trying to get a little bit of denial in there
00:41:52and just saying, like, oh, that's not what happened.
00:41:53It's really highlighted to me why we don't match.
00:41:58I'm just sick of it.
00:41:59I've had a guffle, mate.
00:42:00I've had an absolute f***ing guffle.
00:42:01You seem, yeah, you seem really hurt.
00:42:04I feel like it's been a long time coming
00:42:05that you've kept your mouth closed, I think.
00:42:07Honestly.
00:42:07This is actually the first time in the whole experiment
00:42:09where you've actually said what you wanted to say.
00:42:13Because I'm quite, like, a positive person.
00:42:16I'm not, like, diplomatic,
00:42:17but I do like to look at the bigger picture
00:42:19and say, like, we've processed a lot,
00:42:21we've had a lot of conflict,
00:42:23but I just want to see something beyond it.
00:42:24And this week it's just hollow to me
00:42:27that maybe there just isn't.
00:42:35Adrian and I had a really great home state.
00:42:37That's awesome.
00:42:38Adrian said he really loved Perth.
00:42:40Yeah, no, it went good.
00:42:41We had a great time.
00:42:42I actually really liked Perth.
00:42:43Afina and Adrian have done a good job
00:42:46sticking out this experiment
00:42:48with all its up and downs.
00:42:50It's nice to see that, like, it's paid off.
00:42:53You've got the elbow.
00:42:54I don't know.
00:42:54I don't know.
00:42:55Shh!
00:42:56There you go.
00:42:59Perth, how was your home state?
00:43:01Honestly, it didn't go the way
00:43:07that I thought it was going to go.
00:43:11Where come?
00:43:12TJ came home to my house
00:43:14and spent time with my family.
00:43:15And then we had a dinner that night
00:43:16with my family and my best friend came.
00:43:18And they asked us a question
00:43:19and it was something along the lines of,
00:43:22do you see this progressing on the outside?
00:43:24And obviously I sat there and I said that I do.
00:43:27And he kind of paused
00:43:28and then said that it's something
00:43:31that we're still trying to navigate.
00:43:36And I'm going to be honest,
00:43:37that answer was, like, a little bit shit to hear
00:43:40because obviously I was like,
00:43:41it's something I want.
00:43:42And for him to not really have, like,
00:43:43a solid answer, I was a little bit like,
00:43:46OK, kind of disappointing.
00:43:48And then the day after we met his friends
00:43:50and they asked a similar question.
00:43:53And again, I sat there and said that I do.
00:43:55And he sat there and said
00:43:56that he doesn't see this progressing
00:43:57into a relationship.
00:44:01At all.
00:44:02You did say you don't see progressing
00:44:04into a relationship.
00:44:04I said there needs to be factors
00:44:05that improve for it to be in a relationship.
00:44:07There was a yes or a no answer.
00:44:08And I, yeah.
00:44:09Again, it just seemed like
00:44:10he couldn't really answer it.
00:44:11And to me, to not be able to answer that
00:44:13when we've been here this long
00:44:15really disappointed me and hurt me.
00:44:17And to be quite honest with you,
00:44:21sat there, I felt really embarrassed
00:44:22that I was like, yeah, I see this working
00:44:24and he just couldn't answer it.
00:44:27Oh, Beth, the most confident person
00:44:30on the planet would feel dejected
00:44:33in that situation.
00:44:34Of course.
00:44:35Have you guys slept together
00:44:37since the first time again?
00:44:39Yes.
00:44:39And that's why I'm just so confused and lost.
00:44:45We both wrote stay at the commitment ceremony
00:44:47and then TJ initiated sex with me again.
00:44:50And as we all know,
00:44:52he can't be intimate with me
00:44:53unless there's a deeper connection.
00:44:55So then that makes me think.
00:44:56The deeper connection's there.
00:44:58Of course I'm going to think
00:44:59TJ's connecting with me more.
00:45:01It made me feel good.
00:45:02Yeah.
00:45:02Because that's what he said
00:45:03he needed the whole time.
00:45:05And then days later,
00:45:06you're telling me that you can't
00:45:08see a future with me
00:45:08and see a person.
00:45:09So I'm just so blindsided by it
00:45:12and I wish you had
00:45:13enough respect and care for me
00:45:14to tell me beforehand
00:45:15because that was,
00:45:17no, TJ, that was really big for me
00:45:18to see you with my family.
00:45:19And do you know what?
00:45:20It hurts that now you're like,
00:45:22nah, I don't see it.
00:45:26Well, there's a lot of mixed messages
00:45:27that TJ's sending to Beth, basically.
00:45:32And the issue here
00:45:33is that you can see it
00:45:34it plays with Beth's head.
00:45:36Yes.
00:45:37She gets inside there,
00:45:38over-analyses it,
00:45:39thinks maybe I've got to do more.
00:45:41And it's very hard for Beth
00:45:42not to feel like she's to blame.
00:45:47TJ, what on earth
00:45:48do you have to say to that then?
00:45:52Obviously, everyone wants to hear why.
00:45:54Why did that happen then, T?
00:45:55It's so cute.
00:45:56Absolutely.
00:45:56Because you talked about
00:45:57that emotional connection
00:45:58for a long time
00:45:58and then it's happened.
00:46:00Yeah.
00:46:00So after you saw
00:46:02you said at the dinner party
00:46:03that you didn't think
00:46:03I was physically attracted to you
00:46:05because I hadn't been sleeping with you,
00:46:07made me think
00:46:07maybe I am in my own head about it.
00:46:09And I self-reflected,
00:46:11maybe I was in my own head about it
00:46:12and I thought I would initiate intimacy
00:46:14because that's what you wanted.
00:46:18The invitation to include sexuality
00:46:20is not about simply,
00:46:22you know, her needs,
00:46:24meeting her needs.
00:46:25It's about him saying
00:46:27that he wanted to connect
00:46:28and that is a way to connect.
00:46:30From a homestays,
00:46:31I was met with a lot of yes or no questions.
00:46:34You know,
00:46:34are you going to break my daughter's heart?
00:46:36My friends even questioning,
00:46:37I guess,
00:46:37where we're at too.
00:46:39It kind of made me think,
00:46:41is Beth the right one for me?
00:46:43Am I the right one for Beth?
00:46:44I had to say
00:46:45how I was feeling in the moment.
00:46:47So you're saying that homestays
00:46:49has changed your opinion of me?
00:46:50After getting pushed into a corner,
00:46:52asking yes or no.
00:46:53Pushed into a corner?
00:46:53Are you joking?
00:46:54It felt like that, darling.
00:47:00I can understand
00:47:01where Beth is seeing
00:47:02some serious confusion.
00:47:04Last week with the experts,
00:47:05TJ was talking a lot about
00:47:07souls intertwining
00:47:08for intimacy to happen.
00:47:11But then intimacy happened.
00:47:13But now,
00:47:14when you get asked,
00:47:15do you want there to be a future
00:47:16outside of the experiment?
00:47:18And you can't answer that question
00:47:19straight away.
00:47:20Like, it just doesn't make sense.
00:47:24I don't think he's into Beth
00:47:25like Beth's into him.
00:47:27Your dad said to me,
00:47:27if the experiment ends tomorrow,
00:47:29yes or no,
00:47:29is my daughter going to get her heart?
00:47:30I know,
00:47:31and he used the wrong word.
00:47:32He probably should have said
00:47:33she's going to be hurt.
00:47:34I understand that, darling.
00:47:35But I was diplomatic
00:47:37in the way the answer,
00:47:37because I don't want to give a yes or a no.
00:47:39Why are you sniggering?
00:47:40Because I feel like you're,
00:47:41I feel like you're blaming
00:47:44my family's question.
00:47:47If you liked me enough,
00:47:49or saw a future with me,
00:47:50questions wouldn't throw you off.
00:47:52It just wouldn't.
00:47:52They didn't throw me off.
00:47:53If I answered them,
00:47:54I didn't want to say yes or no.
00:47:57I'm a bit of a seesaw at the moment.
00:47:59There's parts of me that wants to try,
00:48:01and there's parts of me that says,
00:48:02I haven't felt my emotions grow
00:48:03in the past fortnight.
00:48:05So,
00:48:06I don't want to give a yes or a no,
00:48:08because that
00:48:08ends or closes the conversation.
00:48:10We're still trying to work out
00:48:14whether this is
00:48:15a really good friendship
00:48:15or relationship,
00:48:16and I just don't think that it's...
00:48:17Well, friends that have sex.
00:48:19Totally.
00:48:20And I feel like you've really switched.
00:48:22I'm still here
00:48:23because I like you.
00:48:25I'm here for the same reason.
00:48:26We've built...
00:48:27We get along so well.
00:48:28Our banter's amazing.
00:48:29We've proved that we're honest.
00:48:30We're loyal.
00:48:31To me,
00:48:32to throw that away
00:48:33is stupid.
00:48:35But, babe,
00:48:35you asked me for a yes or a no.
00:48:36You said so or to no then.
00:48:37That's what your answer was to be.
00:48:39I wanted to know
00:48:39because if you wanted to continue
00:48:41on the outside,
00:48:42that's it.
00:48:43Babe, I said I can't give you
00:48:44that answer right now.
00:48:45You said so...
00:48:45See, and that's what hurt
00:48:46is you can't give me that answer.
00:48:47You should be able to say...
00:48:47I want to give you 100%.
00:48:48You should be able to say,
00:48:49I want to show you what I can...
00:48:50Yes, I want to continue on the outside
00:48:51and get to know you,
00:48:52and you couldn't answer it.
00:48:55You couldn't answer it.
00:48:58He's able to be asked
00:49:00a yes or no question.
00:49:01Do you see a future in this?
00:49:02And he can't answer it.
00:49:03And then he's able to blame that
00:49:05on the person
00:49:06that's asked the question.
00:49:07It is very frustrating.
00:49:09If you're trying to communicate
00:49:10and you're not getting clear answers
00:49:12to a very direct question,
00:49:14it makes her doubt her position.
00:49:15So once again,
00:49:16her insecurities are playing in.
00:49:18And you see that hint of desperation
00:49:20because she does like him.
00:49:27Still to come.
00:49:28Can TJ give a straight answer?
00:49:31Why are you still here?
00:49:33Well, it's a dinner party,
00:49:34but like...
00:49:35Oh, f*** me.
00:49:36And later...
00:49:37Ryan, I'm not going to sit there
00:49:38and listen to you do things
00:49:40that I see as, like,
00:49:41below the standard.
00:49:43I've heard enough about your standards.
00:49:45Is this the end of the road
00:49:47for Jackie and Ryan?
00:49:50Why don't you want to be someone great?
00:49:52100%?
00:50:01You should be able to say,
00:50:03yes, I want to continue on the outside
00:50:05and get to know you
00:50:05and you couldn't answer it.
00:50:08You couldn't answer it.
00:50:11Are you willing to keep trying
00:50:13within this experiment?
00:50:15She needs to know how you feel, bro,
00:50:17about her.
00:50:18I can't answer that right now.
00:50:19I really can't.
00:50:20See? This is why f*** me
00:50:21and he can't give an answer.
00:50:23Ever.
00:50:24Look at how you're, like, addressing me.
00:50:27You didn't...
00:50:27Twice today, you didn't have
00:50:28your wedding ring on.
00:50:29Because I was emotional to you
00:50:31because I f***ing like you.
00:50:32That's why.
00:50:33I like you too, darling.
00:50:34Darling, you're starting to touch my eyes.
00:50:39I've heard that before
00:50:40and out of his mouth.
00:50:41Darling.
00:50:43All I wanted from you
00:50:45was to know
00:50:46that you liked me
00:50:47just a little bit
00:50:48enough
00:50:49to actually want to progress
00:50:50this on the outside.
00:50:51That is not what you said, darling.
00:50:54Thank you, Shopeiro,
00:50:55Tom T-dress is darling.
00:50:59You never asked me
00:51:00if I wanted to keep trying
00:51:01in this experiment, darling.
00:51:02I don't know, I just...
00:51:09I want to know
00:51:09why are you still here
00:51:11and why did you come to Homestays
00:51:12if you don't see a future with me?
00:51:13I want a perspective
00:51:15on our relationship, darling.
00:51:20Darling.
00:51:21You're blaming questions.
00:51:22I feel like you're just using...
00:51:23Because it's a yes or a no.
00:51:24Excuses.
00:51:25Darling, it's not an excuse.
00:51:26Cheers.
00:51:29If I don't know what to do
00:51:31then I don't know
00:51:31what to do with it, darling.
00:51:32Whoa!
00:51:35Right now,
00:51:36do you want to work on it?
00:51:39And it doesn't matter
00:51:39what the answer is
00:51:40because I just need to hear it.
00:51:41I need to know.
00:51:42Like, why are you still here?
00:51:44Well, it's a dinner party
00:51:45but, like...
00:51:46Oh.
00:51:46I can't be honest.
00:51:51Well, being so petty right now,
00:51:52seriously...
00:51:52Are you kidding me?
00:51:53You never asked me
00:51:54yes or no questions.
00:51:55See, this is a petty point
00:51:56if you don't understand
00:51:57what I'm saying.
00:51:58You really don't.
00:52:00But, darling, darling,
00:52:01what I'm saying is
00:52:01I'm not blaming the questions, darling.
00:52:03Darling.
00:52:07That's like 133 darlings
00:52:09too many.
00:52:11I'm just in the head right now.
00:52:13I'm a bit mindful,
00:52:14to be honest.
00:52:14I just need him to, like,
00:52:16just be straight up,
00:52:17be blunt,
00:52:17tell me how you feel.
00:52:18F***ing hell.
00:52:23What a shitshow.
00:52:26Sorry, boys.
00:52:27Hey, guys.
00:52:31Hello.
00:52:31Hello.
00:52:32Is anyone sitting here?
00:52:33No, you.
00:52:38Um...
00:52:38Like one.
00:52:40I mean, I guess that was a lot,
00:52:41wasn't it?
00:52:42A little bit.
00:52:43Yeah.
00:52:44I guess I just want to know,
00:52:45like, obviously,
00:52:47we are nearing the end.
00:52:48Are you wanting to work on this
00:52:50on the outside
00:52:50and you didn't say yes?
00:52:51So to me,
00:52:52that means you're not really sure.
00:52:54But why do I need to give
00:52:55a yes or a no right now?
00:52:57Like, I feel claustrophobic with that.
00:53:00Well, they are at a crossroads,
00:53:02aren't they?
00:53:03Yeah.
00:53:03Tonight's been really difficult
00:53:04for TJ and Beth.
00:53:06She's saying quite clearly
00:53:08that there is something
00:53:10still there for her.
00:53:11Yeah.
00:53:11And I think the problem here
00:53:13is he's not saying,
00:53:15yes, I'm into you.
00:53:15Yeah.
00:53:16Or no, I'm not.
00:53:17So she still has
00:53:19that little
00:53:19warsel of hope
00:53:21that it could work out.
00:53:25It's OK if you are,
00:53:26but I do feel like
00:53:27you're very checked out.
00:53:30And I get that you don't know
00:53:31where your head's at
00:53:32and that's so fine.
00:53:35But, like, I'll be honest,
00:53:37I don't want to leave.
00:53:37I really don't.
00:53:39Then right, say.
00:53:39But I don't want to keep you here
00:53:42if you don't want to be here.
00:53:42You're not going to keep me here,
00:53:43but beyond my,
00:53:44like, you're not kidnapping me.
00:53:46I know, but what I'm saying is
00:53:48I don't want to write stay
00:53:49if you want to write leave.
00:53:50I won't be upset
00:53:51if you write stay.
00:53:51But I can't write
00:53:56stay if you want to leave.
00:53:58If you don't want to be here,
00:53:59that's so fine.
00:54:01I just need to,
00:54:01I just need to hear it.
00:54:03I just don't want to rush
00:54:05something right now.
00:54:06Like, I just need
00:54:07to process for a bit.
00:54:09So, of course.
00:54:10That's not me saying no.
00:54:12Of course.
00:54:13Yeah.
00:54:14It was good to talk to TJ
00:54:15away from the table.
00:54:17I mean, it helped me.
00:54:19Obviously, I told TJ,
00:54:20I want to stay in this experiment.
00:54:22It felt good to get it
00:54:23off my chest.
00:54:25All right.
00:54:33I mean, it would have been nice
00:54:43to hear that TJ
00:54:44still wanted to stay,
00:54:45but he said his head's
00:54:46all over the place.
00:54:48He's unsure how he feels.
00:54:50I'm going to be out there, chat.
00:54:52Me too.
00:54:54And that's so fine.
00:54:56That's where he's at.
00:54:56That's where he's at.
00:54:58But, and he didn't sit there
00:54:59and say, nah,
00:55:00we're writing leave.
00:55:01I'm going.
00:55:02I mean, so that's a positive sign.
00:55:04It's a team, you know?
00:55:06We will see.
00:55:28So, your home stay,
00:55:29you two went well then.
00:55:30Yeah, it was so good.
00:55:32He gave you a house key,
00:55:33which is a bit cute.
00:55:34No way.
00:55:35Oh, that's actually,
00:55:36that means a lot.
00:55:38I know.
00:55:39That's really...
00:55:39That's...
00:55:39He's like,
00:55:40I'm going to go over
00:55:41as much as possible.
00:55:42I'm like, thank you.
00:55:43That's awesome.
00:55:44Yeah.
00:55:45I don't think we've ever seen
00:55:46a home stay
00:55:47result in the handing over
00:55:49of the key.
00:55:50It's a big deal.
00:55:51It's a big deal.
00:55:52I know.
00:55:52It's a big deal.
00:55:53Can you hear that,
00:55:54by the way?
00:55:54She got her kiss from Jen?
00:55:55What the hell?
00:55:56Oh, no.
00:55:57Oh, my God.
00:55:58I love that.
00:55:59That's really sweet.
00:56:00I love you.
00:56:02That's super special.
00:56:03Yeah.
00:56:04Yeah.
00:56:04I feel like, you know,
00:56:05it made me really excited
00:56:07for after the experiment.
00:56:08After the experiment, yeah.
00:56:09Yeah.
00:56:09Yeah, it was really nice.
00:56:11And it just, yeah,
00:56:11it just confirmed that,
00:56:13like,
00:56:13our relationship
00:56:14will work outside
00:56:15of the experiment.
00:56:16No doubt.
00:56:16It's really nice.
00:56:17Of course.
00:56:18Yeah.
00:56:18It's the same for us.
00:56:19Like, the home stay
00:56:20just made me feel so secure.
00:56:21Yeah.
00:56:21So reassured for, like,
00:56:23continuing this on the outside.
00:56:25Awesome.
00:56:25Yeah.
00:56:26The outside's great.
00:56:27Incredible.
00:56:32It's actually quite lovely
00:56:33to watch, isn't it?
00:56:34At this end of the table,
00:56:35we've got Rhi and Jeff,
00:56:36we've got Karina and Paul,
00:56:37all reflecting on
00:56:38how well things are going.
00:56:42Yeah.
00:56:42It's beautiful.
00:56:43It is.
00:56:46I can't tell you're hurting him.
00:56:57Hmm?
00:56:57I can't tell you're hurting him.
00:56:59No, I'm not hurting.
00:56:59Not anymore.
00:57:00Not anymore,
00:57:01because you let it off your chest.
00:57:02I don't know how it feels.
00:57:05Yeah, particularly,
00:57:06that was just,
00:57:07that was just the last week
00:57:08as well.
00:57:10I can see that Ryan's hurting,
00:57:12whatever it was
00:57:13that I did hurt him.
00:57:15Don't you think
00:57:15we should talk about
00:57:16what happened?
00:57:18I like the whole chat, yeah.
00:57:23I think, like,
00:57:24I know that the letter
00:57:25I wrote was quite mean
00:57:26and, not mean,
00:57:28but it was, like,
00:57:28a hard truth to hear, probably.
00:57:30And I feel pretty sad
00:57:32that I've hurt Ryan.
00:57:33I didn't realise
00:57:34he was hurting so much.
00:57:35I just wish he could talk to me
00:57:40and communicate normally.
00:57:41And currently it sucks
00:57:43because I'm getting a stone wall.
00:57:44Like, I'm trying to get through to him,
00:57:46but he's really just checked out.
00:57:48I'm almost gone.
00:57:51I don't want to lose Ryan.
00:57:52I don't want to lose Ryan as a friend.
00:57:53I can't, like, you know,
00:57:55I'm genuinely trying to build
00:57:56the best relationship I can
00:57:57with this man.
00:57:58I've always been just being here
00:58:00for, like, ten weeks
00:58:00and basically
00:58:01just throwing it away.
00:58:04I feel.
00:58:04I'm not worth it.
00:58:05I really want to have a chat.
00:58:08What?
00:58:10What can she give you
00:58:11for you to feel like she has...
00:58:12I've said that from the start.
00:58:16Please?
00:58:16I've said that from the get-go.
00:58:19Let's go and have a chat.
00:58:24Let's go and have a chat.
00:58:25I feel like I'm losing Ryan.
00:58:34I feel like he's really
00:58:35throwing in the towel.
00:58:36So it makes me sad that, like,
00:58:39this has potentially caused
00:58:41the end of our relationship.
00:58:42It's a silly fight with his friend.
00:58:47You mentioned the tipping point earlier
00:58:49and I think you're right.
00:58:51He's flipped over the hill
00:58:52and he's now very detached.
00:58:54And I think she's just
00:58:56cottoned on to it.
00:58:57Yeah.
00:58:58And interestingly,
00:58:59now Jackie starts to soften.
00:59:03Well, she realises he's serious.
00:59:05She's desperately trying
00:59:06to hang on to the relationship.
00:59:08She realises it's slipping
00:59:09through her fingers.
00:59:10OK, can I ask three questions?
00:59:18Are you sorry for what Adam and Carla did?
00:59:20Are you sorry for not standing up for me in the moment?
00:59:27Do you understand why their behaviour was wrong?
00:59:31Like, the tone and the...
00:59:31These are my best mates
00:59:32and they mean more to me than you.
00:59:34Ryan, I felt, like, really traumatic.
00:59:41It was a really bad experience for me
00:59:43and I'm still not over it.
00:59:45I came to tonight just wanting to, like,
00:59:48ask for an apology from you
00:59:49and to get you to say that you'll make it up to me
00:59:52for not standing up for me
00:59:53because that really cut me deep, that experience.
00:59:56Jackie, you said horrible things about me.
01:00:00It doesn't...
01:00:00Regardless of what I said, you don't do that.
01:00:03Ryan, I'm doing this for the better of both of us.
01:00:08No woman deserves to be yelled at, Ryan.
01:00:11I'm doing you a favour.
01:00:13I'm doing you a favour.
01:00:13How the f*** are you doing me a favour?
01:00:15Because it's, like, giving you the opportunity
01:00:17to work on it.
01:00:18See, I don't like the way you speak to me
01:00:20when you say that kind of stuff as well.
01:00:21This is a coachable moment.
01:00:22This is an opportunity to work on it.
01:00:24Ryan, I'm not going to sit there
01:00:25and listen to you do things
01:00:26that I see as, like, just below the standard.
01:00:31Oh, I've heard enough about your standards.
01:00:32I'm allowed high standards.
01:00:35I've heard enough.
01:00:36Why don't you want to be someone great?
01:00:41Wow.
01:00:43Ooh.
01:00:43Oh.
01:00:45Wow.
01:00:46Wow.
01:00:56Why don't I want to be someone great?
01:01:03Wow.
01:01:05Ooh.
01:01:07Oh.
01:01:08Wow.
01:01:13Why don't I want to be someone great?
01:01:14You see how that's insulting, right?
01:01:16Don't you?
01:01:18Why do you want...
01:01:19Why don't you want to be someone
01:01:21who's on a level where they're approachable
01:01:24and want...
01:01:25I do want to be on a level.
01:01:26I really do.
01:01:27Because you're f***ing not.
01:01:32You are judgmental
01:01:33or you're hypercritical
01:01:35or you're hypersensitive.
01:01:37I'm not happy being here with you.
01:01:44I'm telling you what I needed from you tonight.
01:01:47I need to know what you want from me.
01:01:49I want something you can't give me.
01:01:51Which is...
01:01:52Acceptance.
01:01:53I do accept you.
01:01:54No, you don't.
01:01:54I think you're confused.
01:01:56You do not accept me
01:01:57because you're always making lists.
01:01:57Diane, I'm accepting you.
01:02:00Okay.
01:02:01Yeah, maybe I'll change your dress a little bit.
01:02:02But, like, you look good.
01:02:08Jackie, I need to say something to you, right?
01:02:09Yeah.
01:02:11And it's okay.
01:02:13And it's okay.
01:02:14You don't like me for who I am.
01:02:18And that is fine.
01:02:19And that is fine.
01:02:20I love myself.
01:02:22I am confident in myself.
01:02:23I have an amazing life.
01:02:25Right?
01:02:26And your influence on it at the moment is destructive.
01:02:30Because you're trying to change it.
01:02:32That's not what a relationship is.
01:02:35But you came here to learn.
01:02:39I'm exhausted.
01:02:40I'm exhausted.
01:02:40Trying to get through to her.
01:02:41Trying to get through to her.
01:02:43I'm exactly what you asked for.
01:02:44No.
01:02:44I'm independent.
01:02:45Ambitious.
01:02:46Goal-oriented.
01:02:47And she's not hearing it.
01:02:48I am, like, basically your Eve.
01:02:50You're the Adam.
01:02:51I'm the Eve.
01:02:51I was brought here to you.
01:02:53Jackie is really trying her best to, like, rebuild us.
01:03:11Is there anything worth salvaging here?
01:03:17Is there anything here that you want to spend more time with?
01:03:21Jesus wept, Jackie.
01:03:24I'm, like, are you serious?
01:03:26Is this what you really want?
01:03:29Do you really want to go through more of this?
01:03:31Because I don't.
01:03:33I really don't.
01:03:37You don't want to spend any more time on this.
01:03:48I can't salvage it.
01:03:51Wow.
01:03:54I think she's starting to have this realisation that I pushed him too far.
01:03:58It's a little panic.
01:03:59Yeah.
01:04:00Yeah.
01:04:01Jackie, can I ask you?
01:04:02This is something I need to know about you as a person.
01:04:05Yeah.
01:04:05When you're looking at your potential partner, when you're looking at your boyfriend, looking
01:04:09at your husband, do you always have to make a list?
01:04:12Wouldn't you rather find someone that meets your high standards?
01:04:19There's no one out there that meets my standards.
01:04:21Well, they need to ease the f*** up.
01:04:28Because us criticising each other and feeling like we need to have things in our head to
01:04:34say to each other when we next see each other just to prove a point.
01:04:37It's such a hostile environment.
01:04:41I'm not doing that.
01:04:43It's just you.
01:04:48And that's what upsets me.
01:04:50It's like you say these things and it's just not true.
01:04:52I do validate your feelings.
01:04:53I am accepting you.
01:04:55I don't think I'm better than you.
01:04:56And like I'm trying so hard.
01:05:00I can't do this, Jackie.
01:05:05I'm exhausted mentally.
01:05:08I'm sorry you're exhausted.
01:05:11I like honestly I thought I was done coming into tonight.
01:05:14But like it was because I just thought Ryan was completely in the wrong.
01:05:19And now after spending time with him and hearing that actually he's hurting because of me.
01:05:23It made me want to like keep working on the relationship.
01:05:26I'm sorry that Lolita is still hurting you.
01:05:32I didn't mean to hurt you.
01:05:35I think it just hurts because like I feel like I drove him away from trying so hard.
01:05:42And I feel like the effort I put into the relationship and me being honest is what drove him away.
01:05:49I'm sorry.
01:05:50And I'm sorry for telling you how your health should be run.
01:05:53I am.
01:05:55I'm sorry I hurt you.
01:05:58I can't believe I'm losing Ryan.
01:06:01I don't lose people.
01:06:16People lose me.
01:06:21Sunday night.
01:06:22It's the final commitment ceremony of the experiment.
01:06:27The very last opportunity to get feedback from the experts to make an accurate decision going into final vows.
01:06:37No more beating around the bush.
01:06:39The experts apply the pressure.
01:06:41Is it just really as simple as you're just not that into her?
01:06:46Tough questions.
01:06:47Do you think Afina could be that right person for you?
01:06:53Leads to unexpected bombshells.
01:06:56At the moment I don't think I'm in love with Dave.
01:07:00And then.
01:07:01We're having a conversation about how you have made Ryan feel.
01:07:04The experts hold Jackie to account.
01:07:09It's Jackie.
01:07:10I'm not sure what's funny.
