00:00Oh my god.
00:02One month ago,
00:04ten singles
00:06took a terrifying leap
00:08of faith. I'm actually freaking out.
00:10And married
00:12a complete stranger.
00:14Sorry I'm late.
00:16They went
00:18on a honeymoon. If this
00:20is the start of love, then I'm just going to be
00:22the happiest man ever. But two
00:24couples called it quits.
00:26I just want to have
00:28the chat with you. For Jess
00:30and Dave, it ended in tears.
00:32While Craig
00:34and Andy chose to stay
00:36friends. We should catch up.
00:38We're mates. You're not a bud love and I'm not a bud love.
00:40For the remaining couples.
00:42Are you scared to move in together?
00:44It hasn't all been smooth sailing.
00:46You don't look very good.
00:48This is the best thing to happen to me ever.
00:50And I just get stupid and I just
00:52push her away. I do this
00:54stupid stuff right before the
00:56decision day.
00:58Tonight
01:00The three
01:02remaining couples are about
01:04to decide their fate.
01:06This is a massive decision that I'm about to make.
01:08It's one of the biggest ones I've made in my life.
01:10Will Nicole be able to
01:12forgive Keller? You're really screwed up.
01:14Who will stay
01:16married at first sight?
01:18Today is the final day for the couples.
01:28They will then spend time alone
01:30so they can decide whether they want to stay
01:32married at first sight.
01:34As decision day draws closer
01:36our couples are under pressure
01:38as they consider whether their own feelings
01:40will be reciprocated or rejected.
01:42I can see our house from here.
01:44I can see our house from here.
01:46As the relationship is put to the final test
01:48will they have the confidence
01:50to commit to the relationship
01:52for the long term?
01:54Nicole spent last night at a friend's house
02:00after an argument with Keller.
02:02I feel emotionally drained.
02:10I
02:12went and stayed
02:14with my friend.
02:16I needed some time away
02:18and obviously some time
02:20to think.
02:22It was like a completely different
02:24person.
02:26Not somebody I want to be
02:28with.
02:30I never want to see that side to him again.
02:34You don't look very good.
02:36Not very nice of you to say.
02:38Well I'm being honest.
02:40You don't look like you're doing very well.
02:44Woke up this morning
02:46I got a bloody tattoo on my ankle.
02:48I don't remember it at all.
02:54Stuffed up a bit last night.
02:56Yeah I just had a few too many drinks
02:58and it's just stupid.
03:02I put her up so high on a pedestal
03:04because I'm so scared that I'm going to lose her
03:06and because I do that I just keep pushing her further away.
03:10If she doesn't forgive me I'll be crushed.
03:12Yeah it'll
03:14break me heart.
03:32Hey. Hey. How are you?
03:34Thanks.
03:36They're really nice.
03:38I didn't have any lilies.
03:40I did go looking.
03:42Did you?
03:44I like carnations too.
03:46You like them?
03:48Yeah I knew that.
03:50I am definitely worried about Keller's maturity
03:54and how he deals with things.
03:56It's obviously come up a couple of times now
03:58and I'm not sure if Keller and I can come back from this.
04:02I am extremely sorry for everything I want.
04:08I don't know what to say or what to do to fix how I was.
04:16You like don't deserve anything like that ever.
04:20Let's do it.
04:24I don't like conflict and drama
04:26and I feel like he's brought something into my life.
04:30You're a dick.
04:32You're a tissue.
04:34It's just tough because now I feel like
04:36I've got some trust issues that I need to deal with as well.
04:38Is there anything that I can do?
04:44To prove to you that I'll be bad at all?
04:48You really screwed up.
04:52No.
04:54I saw a different side of you that I never want to see again.
04:58I've got no excuses for what I did.
05:02It was just me being a dickhead.
05:08I don't know, I'm more scared
05:10of this relationship than I've ever been with anything in my life.
05:14And it breaks my heart that I'd treated you like that.
05:20I'm used to being let down.
05:22I'm used to being in relationships where I get hurt and stuff.
05:24So this isn't foreign to me.
05:26I feel like it just comes back to, like, your maturity.
05:30You need to learn how to deal with things in a different way.
05:32I don't feel like you deal with things very well.
05:34I'll do anything to prove to you that I am the right guy for you.
05:40He's definitely genuinely sorry and he's very remorseful.
05:44I can see that.
05:45It's written all over his face.
05:46But I definitely still have a lot of doubts and concerns.
05:48And, you know, I'm just hoping this is one that we can work through.
06:00We're moving out of our apartment tomorrow and, yeah, it is the end of a chapter for us.
06:26And it is hard because he's just been my world for the last few weeks.
06:31What's all this water in your face?
06:33I washed my face.
06:35Oh.
06:36Bella and Michael have been inseparable since they first met.
06:40And then Bella got scared and told Michael she wouldn't live with him after the experiment.
06:46You know, in the past it hasn't worked out.
06:51I just don't want it to not work out with us, you know what I mean?
06:57I don't have doubts on the relationship.
07:00I just...
07:03I just don't want to be hurt again.
07:05I'm going to miss you a lot since it's all hitting me now.
07:14In my mind, it's completely not resolved.
07:17But I think Bella likes to think that it is.
07:22I don't think any consideration was thought about how I feel about it.
07:26Might be a while before we see each other again.
07:32Makes me sad.
07:37I like being around Bella.
07:39I like her company.
07:40But she's upset that we're going to be moving out and not living together,
07:44but then she doesn't want to live together either.
07:50It doesn't really make me feel special in any way.
07:53It just makes me feel like just another guy, really.
07:58I want to be someone's rock.
08:00I want for them to feel as though they can't have me not in their lives, you know?
08:05Not just for a date once a week.
08:10I'm not really in it for a high school relationship.
08:13It's just shit.
08:20On their last day together before they take time out to make their decision,
08:24Monica and Mark have returned to the spot where they met and married.
08:30It looks very different to the wedding day, doesn't it?
08:33There's not a wedding set up over there.
08:35That's true.
08:36And there's not a stunningly handsome groom waiting there for you.
08:41Really?
08:42It's definitely a sentimental spot to come back here and just sort of chill out with them on.
08:46Yeah, it's kind of cool.
08:49Except we didn't walk down together like this.
08:51We didn't.
08:53Okay.
08:54Oh my gosh.
08:55Alright.
08:56Oh my gosh.
08:57Imagine if I don't like this guy.
08:59Yeah.
09:00Ready for the...
09:01Ready for the...
09:03You did not look like that at all.
09:08She look of disappointment.
09:10Mark is a really genuine, caring kind of guy, but I do question whether Mark completely gets me.
09:17Not a bad view.
09:18Mmm.
09:19And the scenery is pretty good too.
09:20For me, I really connect to somebody that I can have quite intense conversations with.
09:28I put a lot of thought into what I say and Mark is probably a little bit different in that respect.
09:35I think that some things are meant to be though.
09:39Like eating steak.
09:41Yeah, that's exactly the example I was going to use.
09:46I feel like he's still not being completely open.
09:53That does make me question whether he's completely invested in the relationship and whether he trusts me completely.
10:04Nicole and Keller are about to spend their last night together before they separate to make their decision whether to stay together or go their separate ways.
10:14Tonight, Nicole and I are going to a nice fancy little restaurant.
10:19I just pray that everything goes right.
10:25Hopefully, she can see things with my eyes and forgive me for being an idiot.
10:33But yeah, I care about her so much and I know there's some serious chemistry between me and her.
10:37Can we just get our lemon-lime bitters please?
10:39Yeah, no worries.
10:40You know, I'm not going down without a fight.
10:42I'll, you know, I'll do everything in my power to keep Nicole.
10:48Yeah, she's amazing.
10:50I can't do anything to keep you in my life.
10:54And I will respect every decision that you make.
10:57It's not something I'm just going to get over.
10:59I can't do alcohol. It's bad for me.
11:01Sorry, I got a medical condition. I've become a fucker.
11:03This is tough for me because it was only yesterday that I thought I was falling in love with Keller.
11:11So it's, um, yeah, it's really hard to be unsure again.
11:15I don't know, I just feel like, like before we had such a respectful relationship where we listened to each other and then to have you just completely ignore everything that I said, it was really hard for me to deal with.
11:28Because of two, two stuff ups in the whole time that we've been together.
11:35A month.
11:39There's so many reasons why we're perfect for each other, but there's obviously some red flags and some alarm bells.
11:45What I'd actually like to do is to go and miss your pants.
11:57I feel like you need to let me make my mind up about where this is going first.
12:02Maybe I'll put a wall now.
12:06And, yeah, I guess he has to get my trust back again.
12:10Oh, dear.
12:12Coming up.
12:15The couple separate.
12:17So they can decide.
12:18Does she just want to go back to single life and have me on the side?
12:22Whether to stay.
12:23Shit's good right now.
12:25Married at first sight.
12:28You're really scared about this.
12:30It's definitely on a, uh, on a knife edge.
12:31Decision day is almost here.
12:42Should we get this shit on the road?
12:45Let's do it.
12:47The couples will now spend their last morning together before they separate to decide whether to stay married or break up.
12:55Yeah, the last week's been quite tolerant. It's been really difficult.
12:59Four weeks ago, our couples were married at first sight.
13:03Now, having got to know each other, they must separate and consider whether they want and need that person in their life.
13:09I will miss waking up to you. That'll be one thing.
13:15Oh, I think.
13:17But I will miss you in front of me, too.
13:19You give it back.
13:21It'll be sad leaving this place, of course, but, yeah, it'll be good to get back to a little bit of normality.
13:27Yeah, I think it'll be good.
13:29You take the small one, then I'll take the big one, and then...
13:31Alright.
13:32The thing I know I'll miss about Monica the most is her being around.
13:36That was heavier than what I thought.
13:39She's so easy to live with, and she's such a fun person.
13:42I've never been as open in any relationship this fast at all.
13:48You all right with that muscle?
13:49Oh, that's so heavy.
13:51We didn't get, like, bowling balls.
13:52Just to let yourself be completely vulnerable is...
13:55It's really hard, and for me, I've never been in a situation like this.
13:59So if this relationship does go pear-shaped, it will...
14:02Yeah, it's gonna suck.
14:05Bye.
14:09Oh, you're crippled.
14:11You just got me.
14:12Mark and I have grown very close, and I have no doubt that I will miss him over the next couple of days.
14:18Alright, I'll, uh, see your decision day.
14:19But I'm very much an over-thinker and over-analyser.
14:24Bye, husband.
14:25Bye.
14:26And I don't take decisions like this particularly very lightly.
14:29So I need to work out whether this relationship, you know, actually has legs and is something that can actually last.
14:36Last day, eh?
14:54I'm still working on forgiving Keller for what he did.
14:57I'm excited.
14:58I don't know.
15:02Definitely hoping that with time I can forgive him and, um, I can move on.
15:08I'm still, obviously, not feeling the best about what happened.
15:13Um...
15:14You do mean the world to me, and you've really opened my eyes to, you know, what a real good relationship is.
15:25And I know there's...
15:27It's pretty serious chemistry between you and I.
15:30Um...
15:31And I feel like I'm gonna cry again.
15:37It breaks my heart having to leave today on a situation like this.
15:41So...
15:43Yeah, it's pretty crappy.
15:45It's very crappy.
15:46It's very crappy.
16:04Gonna miss you.
16:06Let's go.
16:09I'm hoping that he can get my trust back.
16:17Yeah, but I guess that's something that I'm gonna need time for.
16:20Time that we didn't have in this experiment, unfortunately.
16:29It could all be over right now.
16:30I don't know.
16:33Yeah, this is a heartbreaking feeling.
16:46Love means...
16:48To...
16:52Like someone a lot.
16:54Like, more than a lot.
16:56And wanna do anything for them.
16:58I don't know what's gonna happen on the day.
16:59Like, my tummy just feels sick thinking about it.
17:03You know?
17:05There's that little bit that makes you scared.
17:08Like, you know, it's just that...
17:10That little voice in your head going,
17:11Well, what if he doesn't want it?
17:12I don't want it.
17:15I love Bella as a person.
17:16And I actually like everything she does.
17:19But I'm always all or nothing type of person.
17:22I don't do things half-assed.
17:24Need me to go.
17:29Excuse me.
17:33One of my favourite sayings is do it with passion or not at all.
17:36And...
17:38If it's just...
17:40A short-term thing, then I won't even bother.
17:45It's a condition of this experiment
17:47that the couples have absolutely no contact with each other
17:51during their time apart.
17:53This allows them physical and psychological space
17:57to prepare mentally for the important decision they're about to make.
18:02For those questioning their relationship,
18:07this separation gives them space and time
18:10to evaluate the consequences of committing or splitting.
18:16Hello, how are ya?
18:18Good, how are you?
18:20Good to be back?
18:22Yeah. I like your hair. It's long.
18:24It's got longer.
18:26My mum knows me better than anyone,
18:28so, yeah, I thought it would be good to talk to her.
18:29Everything's been awesome just until the last day
18:32when I, you know, stuffed up a little bit
18:35and, um, yeah.
18:38I went out with the boys
18:40and then, oh, but, like, after.
18:43Yeah, I know you can...
18:45You drank too much?
18:47Yeah, I just...
18:49You're not the same person when you drink.
18:51It's just a stupid thing that has tarnished such a beautiful thing.
18:55So, it's hard.
18:56It's hard. It's even hard to talk about.
18:59Like, if she can forgive you and move forward with having a disagreement,
19:05you know, maybe you are really connected to each other.
19:08I know we're really connected to each other
19:11and the only thing that will stop us being, you know...
19:15Together.
19:17...continuing this is we don't have much time...
19:19Well, we don't have any time together to smooth everything over,
19:21so she has to make a decision within a day or two.
19:24And, you know, it's so fresh.
19:26You're not used to being totally committed in a relationship
19:31because you've never really fallen head over heels.
19:33There's always been that little bit of a resistance there.
19:36So, this has been foreign territory for you.
19:39I think he's well on the way to being in love.
19:42I do think possibly he is in love.
19:45On our honeymoon, she asked me if I was scared.
19:49So, I don't get scared.
19:51I'm not worried about anything.
19:52And now, like, I understand what she's talking about.
19:57I'm scared right now.
20:06Tonight's the last night for decision day.
20:10Super worried about tomorrow.
20:12Don't know where Nicole's head's at.
20:14It's a very daunting thing.
20:17I don't know what, you know...
20:19I don't know what's going to happen, so I'm scared.
20:22We'll see what happens and we'll find out tomorrow, I guess.
20:26Alright.
20:28Alright, peace.
20:30Back at home, Michael is having a heart-to-heart
20:34with his sister, Leticia.
20:36Now that she doesn't want to live together straight away,
20:41do you think your feelings are still going to be as strong for her?
20:43She was very quick just to say,
20:47no, we're not going to live together.
20:49There was no discussion about that.
20:51And that makes me feel like she doesn't want to give up
20:54her single lifestyle that easily.
20:57I'm a bit confused about the whole thing, to be honest.
21:00I don't really know.
21:02I'm sort of left in the dark wondering,
21:04is it even something she wants to do?
21:06It's just really got to me, hey?
21:08Like, the whole...
21:09the whole thing.
21:13I don't want to fight to have her in my life.
21:16It's not why I'm here, it's not what I want to do.
21:19Someone should want to be with me just as much as I want to be with them.
21:22I just feel like going to a boxing gym and just fucking destroying a boxing bag.
21:33I'm so fucking angry.
21:36And it's so hard to hold it in.
21:38Does she just want to go back to single life and have me on the side?
21:42I don't know. I don't know.
21:47Coming up, decision day.
21:50I'm just scared that it's not going to turn out the way I want.
21:53Do the couples choose to stay together?
21:56I'm not as confident as I have been in the past about colour.
22:00Or call it quits.
22:02This is a massive decision that I'm about to make.
22:04It's one of the biggest ones I've made in my life.
22:11Decision day has finally arrived.
22:14Today, the couples must decide if they will separate
22:18or stay married at first sight.
22:22Decision day will be life changing for our couples.
22:26This is the final test of their marriage.
22:30Can scientific methodology produce a successful relationship?
22:35We're about to find out.
22:41It's the morning of decision day.
22:43And I didn't really sleep much last night.
22:46I don't know. I'm feeling a little bit tired.
22:49But I'm also feeling a bit...
22:51A bit anxious.
22:53I can't stop thinking about how's Bella feeling about all of this.
22:57But I know I need to think about myself and what's best for me.
23:01Because it's even a bigger commitment now than it was in our wedding day.
23:05Because now we both know each other and told each other that we love each other.
23:09Sometimes love just isn't enough and needs to be more to it than that.
23:16It needs to be so much more.
23:24When Bella and Michael met, there was instant chemistry.
23:28Happy honeymoon.
23:30On the honeymoon, they fell for each other.
23:33And then made the ultimate declaration.
23:36I love you too.
23:38But when she said she wouldn't live with him after decision day...
23:42Are you scared to move in together?
23:44...it planted a seed of doubt for Michael.
23:47Someone should want to be with me just as much as I want to be with them.
23:49I feel a bit sick actually.
23:51I just worry that maybe Michael has woken up this morning and thought it's not what he wants.
24:02You know, maybe he's had some time apart from me and thought, oh actually, I don't want her.
24:06It's been my biggest fear the whole time. My biggest fear has been that he won't like me.
24:13Hopefully he'll remember this from our wedding day.
24:17The thing that I want to make this my fairytale ending is to have the man of my dreams be with me and make me happy and me make him happy.
24:26But I want to get to know him more. I want to know that this is it before we move in with each other officially.
24:36I just want it to be done now.
24:37The whole last few weeks has been building up to this day.
24:52And my body is stunned to freak out a bit.
24:57I feel like that I could be the right girl for him.
25:00But I'm just scared that it's not going to turn out the way I want.
25:13I am quite concerned whether Bella's ready for this, you know, if she's thought it through properly and it's actually what she wants.
25:21And I have a lot to take into account, you know, if I have a son and whether she's going to be ready to accept that completely.
25:28This is a massive decision that I'm about to make.
25:33It's one of the biggest ones I've made in my life.
25:38Hey, Bella.
25:39How are you?
25:40Good to see you. Grab a seat.
25:42Thanks.
25:44Now tell us, how are you feeling?
25:46I just, I just really hope that Michael's on the same page as me.
25:52And look, you two said the love word fairly early on.
25:56Yeah.
25:57Now, how's that sitting with you?
25:59You've got this far in the experiment.
26:01Yeah, I am 100% in love with him.
26:06This guy is amazing.
26:08Like, he's kind of everything I've always asked for and probably a little bit more as well.
26:14I noticed that you value sex really highly in your relationship.
26:19Yeah, I think, you know, yeah, obviously I think it's a massive part of a relationship.
26:24You know, I think that in past relationships, it's like once the sex is gone, then kind of the relationship is.
26:31So I think it's so important to keep that strong in a relationship.
26:35Is it how you connect?
26:36Yeah, it's definitely how I connect.
26:38You know, I'm kind of, I've always been that person that wears my heart on my sleeve and, like, I love affection and everything that comes with it.
26:48Are there any doubts there?
26:49Um, I don't think there's any doubts.
26:54It's more, I think, you know, the whole thing of just being 100% single and then not being single, I suppose, was a bit of a shock at first.
27:04But now, I'm totally fine with it, you know, like, I've settled into married life.
27:09Have you got any concerns about how he looks at everything?
27:13Uh, I'm pretty confident that he feels the same as me.
27:17But, there's always that little voice in my head and that's something that I've always had that goes,
27:23well, maybe he doesn't want it.
27:24You know, there's that little bit of, little bit of doubt that maybe he doesn't want what I want.
27:29Maybe he won't be able to cope with us living separately.
27:32I really don't know.
27:35You ready to see him?
27:37Yeah.
27:49Hi.
27:50How are you?
27:51Good, actually.
27:52How are you feeling right now, Michael?
27:55Heart's racing, actually, yeah.
27:57Heart's racing and I'm a little bit nervous.
28:00Yeah, I was a bit anxious coming in.
28:03How compatible do you think you are with Bella?
28:06Um, to be honest, I never had any problems getting along with Bella and communication was always easy.
28:12So, we have a lot in common and we think very similar as well.
28:16So, I think we're both very compatible with each other.
28:19Were there any issues in the relationship that have really given you some concern?
28:25It worried me that I wasn't sure if Bella wanted to transition into, you know, make a serious relationship or if she wanted to sort of keep a really social, active lifestyle.
28:40Falling so hard so fast, you can also, um, yeah, you can also be hurt quite easily as well and it can take a long time to recover as well.
28:55When we meet someone, there's chemistry, we release this neurochemical cocktail that really drives that connecting and mating phase of the relationship.
29:06And then doubts can creep in later.
29:09Mm-hmm.
29:10So, how concerned are you?
29:12I do know that there's always a honeymoon period and it's always good for a start.
29:16As we all know, relationships can often times be amazing at the start and then all of a sudden you realise that all those little doubts that you had have crept up and built up to something that's not what you want.
29:26It's time now for you to reveal your decision to one another.
29:36So, it's been a pretty crazy four weeks, highs, lows.
29:43I think I felt every emotion of dealing with you in the space of that time but I am so in love with you and I 150% want to continue this relationship with you.
29:55And Michael, what's your decision?
30:00And Michael, what's your decision?
30:05And Michael, what's your decision?
30:12So, um, it's been, it's been a full on experiment.
30:20And, uh, we did so much together as well and experienced things that both of us never had before.
30:27And, you know, we had ups and downs.
30:29You know, the high times are always high and then I think when things got a little bit tough, we, um, we both took it very hard.
30:38I did have doubts about whether you actually wanted this or were ready for it as well.
30:51But, uh, 150% want to be with you as well.
30:57So, it's a yes.
30:58Great.
31:00Come in.
31:02I'm very happy.
31:12Yeah.
31:13Very happy.
31:14Well, congratulations, guys.
31:17We're absolutely delighted for you.
31:19You look wonderful together.
31:21You're really compatible.
31:23So, we wish you all the best for the future.
31:25Congratulations.
31:31It feels amazing to be 150% in love.
31:34All the best, guys.
31:35Thanks.
31:36Go well.
31:37It's what I've wanted for so long and, you know, I think one of the main things I struggled
31:40with was, like, I just want someone to love me back and I know that you do.
31:46And it's just amazing.
31:48Oh.
31:49Wow.
31:50I did have a few little doubts and, you know, I just wasn't sure Bella wanted to commit
31:55to a serious relationship.
31:57Our decision has now, you know, locked in our future together and now we can carry on,
32:05build a life together.
32:10I just really hope that we continue to grow together and, you know, have an amazing time
32:14in our relationship and hopefully moving together again one day.
32:18Oh, yeah?
32:19Yeah.
32:20Wow.
32:21Yeah.
32:22Have come a long way.
32:23Yeah.
32:24Mark and Monica are the next couple to make their decision.
32:28I came on this experiment because I want a wife and I really hope I have a future with
32:35Mon.
32:36She makes me want to be a better person.
32:38How's it going?
32:39When Monica and Mark first met, there was an instant bond.
32:43He's pretty handsome.
32:45They connected over their similar sense of humour.
32:48Oh, yeah.
32:49I'm joking.
32:50You seem like you might be unemployed.
32:52And as they grew closer, found they had much in common.
32:56But as the experiment progressed, Monica felt Mark wasn't taking her seriously.
33:01I'm the kind of person that you could actually see a future with.
33:05And while he took her concerns on board.
33:08At this point, I do actually like you more than any other relationship I've ever been
33:12in.
33:13Monica still wasn't convinced.
33:16I think the last few weeks of the experiment have been a bit of a challenge for Mark and I.
33:24He's a great guy and we get along really well.
33:28But mixed reactions and emotions from Mark throughout the experiment made me, you know, question
33:37whether he did actually see this as a serious relationship.
33:41Hi.
33:42Hey, Monica.
33:43Come and grab a seat.
33:44Tell me about this relationship you've had over the last four weeks.
33:56How have you adjusted to it?
33:59Surprisingly really well, which was probably the biggest shock to me.
34:05Right from the wedding day, it was like we'd known each other for a long time.
34:08We were just very comfortable and we had a lot of fun.
34:11And, yeah, we joked around a lot.
34:15But, you know, I was questioning whether there was really any substance to the relationship
34:21and whether it did really go any further than just, you know, us having a lot of fun together
34:26like mates.
34:27Monica, tell me a bit more about this jokey communication between you two.
34:31What purpose do you think that served?
34:33For the purposes of the relationship, sometimes the sarcasm is used as a deflection.
34:39You know, there have been occasions where I would want to talk about something a little bit more serious
34:43and initially, you know, Mark would make a joke and then I would kind of retreat
34:48because I was feeling like he wasn't taking me seriously.
34:51So does that impact building emotional intimacy?
34:55Yeah, definitely.
34:57I think for me, being able to trust somebody and building that emotional intimacy is a really big thing.
35:04And how does that relationship translate in the real world?
35:08Monica, do you feel like you've come to your decision?
35:11I have made my decision.
35:12I have made my decision.
35:13I have made my decision.
35:18Mum.
35:19I think I've made my decision.
35:20Oh, my God.
35:21I think I've done a good job for you, too.
35:22I do want to keep the work from you.
35:23I think you should be able to help in a way of getting started.
35:24Hi, Mark.
35:25How are you?
35:26Hi, Mark.
35:27How are you?
35:28Good.
35:29How are you?
35:30Hey.
35:31How you doing?
35:32Good.
35:34You know, you had some time apart from Monica to think about things.
35:37things. Has there been any concerns about the relationship for you?
35:41No, not really to be honest with you. Like, I've always been the kind of person
35:45that I'm going to trust my God and go with what I think, so it wasn't really
35:49too much overthinking to be honest. You're a man who's never said
35:53I love you. That's correct. Do you think that this is an area of your life
35:57that you struggle with? The reason I've never said it before is because I have had
36:01quite long serious relationships before. The last one I had, um, although
36:05I think I was in love with her, it was as a friend, not as a girlfriend
36:09so, for me I don't struggle with the concept of love. I just haven't found that
36:13person that I'm willing to say that to.
36:17For me, when I do say it, I want to mean it. I want to spend the rest of my life with that
36:21person. I just don't want to throw it out to just anyone.
36:25It's now time to decide your futures. Mark, are you happy to share
36:29with Monica how you're feeling? Do you want to continue your relationship?
36:35Monica, as you know, this past month has been, it's been a great month with you.
36:39I just genuinely just enjoy spending time with you.
36:43In saying that, we did have a bit of a breakdown in communication
36:49a little bit earlier on, but I do blame myself for the majority of that
36:53because I did brush a lot of things off.
36:55But it did lead to, I guess, us sort of dancing around and going in circles
37:01and neither one of us was really getting what we wanted from the relationship.
37:05The more I think about the past month with you, it's, for me, it's a real easy choice.
37:11I've really enjoyed this month with you and I definitely would like to continue this relationship
37:15after the experiment.
37:19Well, over to you Monica.
37:23Definitely there are a lot of emotions going on right now.
37:29I guess my major concerns are that, you know, our relationship has worked throughout the experiment,
37:38within the confines of the experiment.
37:41And knowing what it will be like, you know, post-experiment, I guess, you know, that's completely uncertain.
37:51So, for me, the worry is that, you know, after the experiment, will we still be as open and honest with one another?
38:10Mark has decided to stay with Monica, but it's now up to Monica to make her final decision.
38:16So, for me, the worry is that, you know, after the experiment, will we still be as open and honest with one another?
38:26Since our serious discussion, there was a shift and I did think about this a lot more seriously than I did before.
38:37For me, that was the moment that we started really talking about a future together and, you know, it wasn't so vague,
38:44which it had been previously.
38:47So, for me, as well, you know, I'm very logical and I have put a lot of thought into the decision.
38:55But I would also like to continue and stay married.
39:02Fantastic.
39:04Awesome.
39:06I knew it would happen.
39:07Well, it's really lovely to see you guys together.
39:11It's great.
39:12Your energy, it's infectious and your sense of humour just really, it's, it puts a smile on our faces.
39:18Yeah.
39:19So, we are funny.
39:20We like to bring happiness to the people.
39:22Yeah.
39:23You were funny.
39:25We're just so excited about what the future holds for you and we really want to say all the best.
39:29Wow.
39:31So happy for you.
39:34Now that I finally know that she has said yes, like, really relieved, really happy and, yeah, excited just to start the new chapter in our life.
39:40Yeah, let's do it.
39:41Joking.
39:43I'm a little bit of a realist and even though I really hoped that it would have a very positive outcome, I think there was a big part of me that was, you know, a bit sceptical and I've learnt that sometimes you really do just have to put yourself out there.
39:56You have to trust the process and to fully invest in a relationship, you do have to put your feelings on the line.
40:03Monique definitely has a lot of the traits I look for in any relationship and if it keeps going the way it is going, who knows, maybe one day that special word will come out.
40:12Fingers crossed.
40:20The last couple to make their decision to stay or go are Nicole and Keller.
40:25I'm naked.
40:26Didn't sleep very well last night.
40:28I was stressing about, you know, decision day.
40:33Still not sure what's going to be said so, yeah, it's a scary, scary thought.
40:38I've never felt this strongly about a girl.
40:43She means the world to me.
40:45But in true Keller fashion, I stuff things up, you know, when everything's going good, just go and give it a violent shove into the bad.
40:54Yeah, I'm pretty disappointed with myself.
40:57But, you know, even heroes have the right to bleed.
41:02I think that's the expression.
41:03All I want to do is just, you know, get back together and make everything right again.
41:07Unfortunately, I am not going into decision day as confident as I have been in the past about Keller, given most recent events, which makes it a little bit hard.
41:26I didn't sleep that well last night because I was thinking about today and what points I want to get across.
41:35Definitely wrestling with whether the pros outweigh the cons, I guess, because Keller and I have had great connections and there's definitely been points in the experiment where I felt like I was falling in love with Keller.
41:47That was our wedding day.
41:50Yeah, I was very happy there.
41:53Yeah, it was a special day.
41:55But on the weekend, I've seen a different side to him.
42:02And it just makes me wonder if he's the right person for me.
42:05Keller was taken with Nicole the moment he laid eyes on her.
42:18But it was her father's approval that set them on track.
42:23She's gorgeous, man.
42:25I'm stoked.
42:26The honeymoon was a whirlwind romance as they discovered they had the same values.
42:31Do you definitely want kids?
42:33Oh, 100%, yeah.
42:34What about you?
42:35I think I want three, two boys and a girl.
42:38But at the dinner party, Nicole saw another side.
42:41After sleeping with a guy after one day, I bet you have been in a lot of relationships.
42:45And things went downhill from there.
42:47I don't think it's a good idea if you drink anymore, to be honest.
42:50Will Nicole give him another chance?
42:53It breaks my heart that I'd treated you like that.
42:57Or will she sever all ties and walk away from him forever?
43:12I'm breaking it like I'm scared.
43:14I'm super scared.
43:19There's a whole lot of my life riding on this decision today.
43:22This, you know, whole experiment.
43:27I felt every emotion, you know, imaginable.
43:32There's just everything about her is so perfect.
43:37What would be luck to lose her?
43:39It would break my heart.
43:41Yeah.
43:44I can't, I can't put it into words, what it would mean.
43:47It's, you know, she means everything to me.
43:49So.
43:54How are you, Keller?
43:55Not too bad. How are you?
43:56Welcome.
43:57Come and take a seat, mate.
44:00Tell us a little bit about what's going on for you right now.
44:04I'm actually really nervous at the moment.
44:06Um, things were sort of left a little bit rocky.
44:10So I don't know where I stand or, or what she's going to say or anything.
44:14So it's a bit, a bit scary.
44:16Yeah, that can be really difficult being in that limbo.
44:18Yeah.
44:19And a couple of days before the decision, I go and do something stupid and then put everything
44:24that we've got in jeopardy, so.
44:29Sounds like there's some regret there and some remorse.
44:32Yeah, there is, there's a lot of regret, a lot of remorse.
44:37You know, I've, I've never fallen for a girl this quick before and I, and I actually haven't felt this sort of, like, intense emotion about a girl.
44:45It's the best thing that's ever happened in my life.
44:48Like, yeah, it's, it's, it's been the, this whole thing together has just sort of shown me all these, you know, different possibilities in life and everything.
44:58You know, how far we can go together and stuff, so, yeah.
45:11Even talking now, I've got like a tight stomach and choking up in the throat and I, you know, I get it.
45:16I know that this is what, what real love feels like, so, it's, um, I'm scared, yeah.
45:23Some of the things that are going on for you now, leading up to this day, almost feel a little self-destructive.
45:32What do you think about that?
45:34Yeah, I, I have a tendency, like, when something goes really right in my life and I know it can't end,
45:40I sometimes try to push everything away so that I, I don't get hurt.
45:44So, you know, and that's my, maybe, coping mechanism.
45:49If I destroy myself then, you know, I won't, I won't get hurt but she won't get hurt because she, she'll look like the, you know, she'll feel good about leaving me so, it's weird.
46:00Do you think you might have done too much to push her away?
46:03Definitely.
46:05Um, it's not a, not a nice feeling because it's not the, it's not the person that I am.
46:11Like, I don't have enough time to, sort of, prove to her that, that's not me.
46:18Um, yeah.
46:24You're really scared about this?
46:26Yeah, yeah, I'm very scared and not having any communication with her at all has just made it all the more hard.
46:39If you could visualize your life without her, what would it look like?
46:49I don't know, like, pretty dull and boring I reckon.
46:56It wouldn't, it wouldn't be fun.
46:58But, I don't know, what do you do?
47:01It's, it is what it is and I've sort of got to lick my own wounds and just deal with the consequences that it's my bad I've got to lie in it.
47:08Like, I can't blame anyone but myself and I can't, I don't have any excuses for what I did so, that's it.
47:13What do you think she's gonna say?
47:18Oh, I honestly don't know what she's gonna say.
47:21I wouldn't have a clue.
47:22There's times where I think that I stuffed up pretty badly.
47:34I might not deserve, you know, deserve it.
47:40Whatever her decision is, I'm gonna respect, so yeah, but, but yeah, I could lose her today.
47:52Hey Nicole.
48:05Hi.
48:11How are you feeling?
48:13A little bit nervous.
48:16Yup.
48:18How are you?
48:19A bit emotional?
48:21Are you?
48:22Yeah.
48:23So you've been apart for several days.
48:27What's going on, on the inside for you?
48:30Um, to be honest I feel like I've needed that time to reflect and think on everything that's happened.
48:36It's been, uh, extremely full on experience.
48:39Um, last weekend, Kelly had a really bad day and, um, I feel like instead of, um, coming to me and talking to me,
48:48and like he normally would, um, he kind of went on a bit of a self-destructive spiral and pushed me away.
48:55And, yeah, I guess now I need to know, yeah, if that's, you know, like he's promised before that that wouldn't happen again and it did happen again.
49:02And I guess now I need to, uh, make the decision on whether or not, um, I'm gonna give him a chance again to show me that he can do better, I guess.
49:13I know that trust and loyalty are very important to you. They're, they're values of yours, aren't they?
49:22Yeah, they are definitely. Um, trust is a big one.
49:24Um, trust is a big one.
49:25Yeah.
49:26Um, I know Kevin's very loyal so I don't have anything to worry about there.
49:32So how does it feel having that trust fractured?
49:36Um, it really hurt my feelings to be honest.
49:38And so as you've been pondering the situation, have you been listening to your head or your heart?
49:47Um, a bit of to and fro actually. Yeah, it's been a bit of a, bit of a battle.
49:54Yeah, it's not been easy, that's for sure.
49:56Calla, are you ready to tell Nicole how you feel and what your decision is?
50:07Yeah, definitely. Um, well, sort of going into this experiment, didn't know, you know, what to expect or how it was gonna go or anything and then, you know, have the most amazing girl come into my life.
50:26I know we've had, we've had some downs but pretty much everything has been up.
50:31We've, you know, just had just a crazy time with each other.
50:35This has been, like, the best time in my life I reckon and it's, it's been amazing and I think that it would be crazy for, for us to, uh, not continue this relationship together.
50:48I'm head over heels for you and I've never felt this way about a girl before so I think it'd be crazy.
50:56It would be crazy not to.
50:58Yeah, up until a couple of weeks ago, this decision would have been really easy for me. Um, you know, we've had, we had such a connection straight from the start. Um, and yes, heaps of really amazing people.
51:16Um, amazing times. Um, there's, yeah, there have been some, some challenges that have been thrown at us, um, recently that put some doubts in my mind.
51:38And, yeah, it made me question your trust and, um, whether or not I could believe in what you're saying to me.
51:58Um, you know, you're a super, super supportive person and you're really caring and affectionate and kind hearted and I know you mean the best.
52:09Um, oh, this is hard. Um, I've been thinking about the doubts that I've had recently and I, I've decided that you really let me down. Um, and I'm, so I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm,
52:38I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm
53:08And then you did say yes to me.
53:11Yeah.
53:13Yeah.
53:14I do again.
53:15It's just a massive, massive relief.
53:19You know, I'll never, I'll never break your trust.
