00:00:00Previously...
00:00:03Welcome everybody to your last commitment ceremony.
00:00:07The pressure was on in the final commitment ceremony.
00:00:10It's not a decision you'd make lightly.
00:00:13And it was finally over.
00:00:15I just feel like we're on different levels.
00:00:17I don't want that in a partner.
00:00:19For Cheryl and Andrew.
00:00:21Yeah, I decided to leave.
00:00:23And Michelle had Jessie on tenterhooks.
00:00:26We almost agreed that we're just going to be friends.
00:00:29But decided to stay another week.
00:00:31I made a commitment to you that day.
00:00:33I'm staying.
00:00:35Tonight...
00:00:36We've got some decisions to make.
00:00:38As the couples head towards the ultimate decision...
00:00:41I don't want to make another mistake.
00:00:43Of whether to continue beyond the experiment.
00:00:45You know, I've got nothing to lose.
00:00:47They embark on their final dates.
00:00:49This is my last chance to tell her what my feelings are.
00:00:54I'm going to show you the time of your life this evening, my dear.
00:00:56That's something I'll probably never experience ever again.
00:00:58But we're asking the tough questions...
00:01:01I'd like to know where we're really at.
00:01:03There's a part of me that wants to just go...
00:01:07It's kind of surreal.
00:01:08Bring them closer together...
00:01:10I really, really love him.
00:01:12Ah!
00:01:13It's kind of like out of the movies.
00:01:15Or...
00:01:16Tear them apart.
00:01:17Makes me feel really uneasy.
00:01:19Guys, I can't f***ing do this.
00:01:29It's hard to believe that only a short time ago...
00:01:31Oh, wow!
00:01:32...our couples met each other for the very first time...
00:01:37There you go.
00:01:38...at the altar.
00:01:39It's going to be complicated.
00:01:40Andrew, you may now kiss Vanessa.
00:01:43For seven weeks, these couples have been living as husband and wife.
00:01:48Silent!
00:01:49Full man!
00:01:50We know each other very well now.
00:01:53During this time in the experiment, all of our couples have been through what normal couples experience after several years together.
00:02:00Question time!
00:02:01Give them a chance.
00:02:03We're now entering the time where they need to decide whether they want to spend the rest of their lives with this person.
00:02:09This is actually pretty tough.
00:02:11With just one week left in the experiment, our grooms have planned one final and very important date with their brides.
00:02:19I'll get dressed and then you surprise me.
00:02:21These final dates are the last opportunity for our couple to have real alone time.
00:02:27And also address any outstanding issues.
00:02:30You know, it's not that I don't have options. I have options.
00:02:33We don't need to talk about that because you married me.
00:02:35Are you serious?
00:02:37It's crucial for the couples to not leave anything left unsaid.
00:02:41It's time to put their hearts on the line.
00:02:43This could be something.
00:02:45This is the moment to do it before they consider whether they're going to recommit to their vows.
00:02:51And that's why there's so much riding on these final dates.
00:02:57Today is going to be my last little push to woo Sharon before the final vows.
00:03:08So I want to show Sharon how amazing our adventure has been so far.
00:03:13Excited?
00:03:14Yeah, yeah, I guess. Just woke up like, you know, had no sleep last night.
00:03:21Nick and I are going really well at the moment, but last night I had a bad dream about Nick and I.
00:03:28First time that's happened.
00:03:30It was a shit dream last week.
00:03:32Don't let a dream work your life.
00:03:38For one of the strongest couples in the experiment, last night's announcement at the commitment ceremony.
00:03:44This will be the last week that you guys live together in this experiment.
00:03:50Don't let anything go unsaid.
00:03:54Make sure all your questions are answered and you get the clarity you need to make this final decision.
00:04:00Stirred up dormant doubts for Sharon.
00:04:04Fire out, I'm tired.
00:04:06In my dream, it was, I guess, trust issues related.
00:04:11I've been thinking about the end of the experiment.
00:04:14Now that it's sort of upon us, it's actually like, can I give in my heart a bit of a jolt?
00:04:20And it's like, oh shit.
00:04:21You're freaking out, are you?
00:04:22No, like we've got some decisions to make and, you know, like, it's kind of a big deal actually.
00:04:29It's happened all of a sudden that I'm feeling these feelings and I guess it's becoming more real that, you know, we need to make a decision if we want to continue this or not.
00:04:42Sharon and Nick have done exceptionally well in the experiment so far.
00:04:45But they've also had to navigate difficult territory when elements of Nick's former bachelor life were revealed to Sharon, raising doubts in her mind.
00:04:53Are you going to make me a rum and coke or rum and something?
00:04:56From his excessive drinking at the first dinner party.
00:04:59Like, you enjoy looking at naked chicks with their battings and tits in front of you.
00:05:03Through to revealing that he had a membership at a strip club.
00:05:06One of the big issues with going to strip clubs is that it undermines her sense of trust in him.
00:05:11Oh, of course.
00:05:12She doesn't feel safe.
00:05:14When I spoke to Sharon at the beginning of the experiment, she revealed that being able to trust a partner was a key concern.
00:05:22I was engaged and I found out that he was seeing one of my really close friends.
00:05:30And, yeah, that hurt a lot.
00:05:34You know, I think I do have trust issues.
00:05:39Oh, God, get me emotional.
00:05:43Can we stop?
00:05:47You're doing well.
00:05:51Sharon needs to feel that Nick is 100% committed in order for her to take this next step.
00:05:56If I'm equally excited for the future, the unknown.
00:06:01I'm just trying to figure out how it's all going to work.
00:06:05I am worried about putting my heart on a lion because I know Nick in this experiment, but I don't know Nick outside of this experiment.
00:06:13And, you know, I'm fearful of out of sight, out of mind.
00:06:18If I'm not there, you might want to fill the void.
00:06:21I should have had more time.
00:06:23How lucky you've got an amazing husband.
00:06:26Really?
00:06:28It's just the fear of the unknown, I guess, because I'm not 100% sure if I can trust Nick.
00:06:33We're doing this together, right?
00:06:35Yeah.
00:06:46For Nadia and Anthony's final date, Anthony has slipped out of the apartment alone to begin his efforts by buying her a surprise outfit.
00:06:55Tonight's a really big deal, you know, it's the last opportunity that I get to show Nadia that she is special.
00:07:01It'll be very romantic and she deserves that.
00:07:04Do you think she'll like it?
00:07:07She'd look good at anything, so it wouldn't really matter what I get, but I'll try to pick something that's appropriate for what we're doing tonight.
00:07:14Anthony may be full of compliments for wife Nadia.
00:07:17Is it made for someone with boobs or not?
00:07:19But tact has never been his strong point.
00:07:22She doesn't have the boobs to wear that.
00:07:24She's got no boobs.
00:07:26One of the things Anthony really struggled with during this experiment is being supportive of Nadia's priorities and interests.
00:07:34I do a little bit of modelling.
00:07:36And it's important for me to always have my finger in the pie when it comes to fashion.
00:07:40Some beautiful strappy stilettos.
00:07:41Yeah, especially when I'm sorry.
00:07:45Is that the horse race?
00:07:46Sorry.
00:07:47I did slip away for a few moments to watch a couple of horse races, but that doesn't mean I was bored.
00:07:53Although this is a typical hurdle when transitioning from single life, when I sat down with Anthony at the start of the experiment, he recognised that this was a flaw in his previous relationships as well.
00:08:05I think in the past I've probably been too set in my ways, so I guess I need to be more open and being more inclusive of my partner's life as well.
00:08:15For Anthony, it's crucial that he uses this final day to show Nadia that their life together can be one of compromise, and most importantly, that he cares for her interests as much as his own.
00:08:28Today is the real last opportunity to show her what she means to me.
00:08:35I've brought her something beautiful to wear, and I've planned something really special for Nadia, something nostalgic, something that she's really passionate about.
00:08:44I guess everything we've done up to this point leads to tonight, and it's a great opportunity to kind of finalise the experiment before the next chapter, which we'll do on our own.
00:08:58How are you doing?
00:08:59I'm good, why are you dressed up?
00:09:00I'm going to show you the time of your life this evening, my dear.
00:09:01These final dates are the last opportunity for our couples to express their feelings.
00:09:17It's a time for romance.
00:09:19I thought I'd take you out and make the most of it.
00:09:24Okay.
00:09:25Expressing our physical attraction is really important for couples.
00:09:30It produces our love hormone, and it helps our couples bond at a very deep level.
00:09:36This date is incredibly important in the sense that since being total strangers only, what, seven weeks ago,
00:09:43I want to show Eleni how I feel about her, but also reminisce on what we've had in the past.
00:09:50So, where are you taking me?
00:09:54Good things come to those who wait, so you'll have to find out.
00:09:58And Eleni and Simon have been the epitome of waiting for good things to come since day one.
00:10:05No, he's not the guy that I would have imagined for myself.
00:10:09From a slow-burning physical attraction...
00:10:11Physical attraction, I wouldn't say it's there yet.
00:10:15...to domestic differences at home.
00:10:18Go and get your stuff together.
00:10:20Simon and I, we are nearing the end of the experiment, and I'm starting to get a little bit worried or concerned.
00:10:26It's only because...
00:10:27I am looking for a long-term partner, that's why I came to this experiment.
00:10:30So I'm thinking always long-term when it comes to Simon, and if that was to work out,
00:10:34I really need to know what's the future going to look like for me.
00:10:38You really need to have a little bit of passion for each other, so that you don't fizzle so quickly.
00:10:44I hope that tonight I get to see maybe a little bit more of a romantic Simon,
00:10:50maybe more of a Simon who takes charge, tries to sweep a woman off her feet, hopefully.
00:10:55Oh, hello!
00:10:57Look, I just want to know, have you seen my wife Aline?
00:11:02Because you supermodel you.
00:11:04Have you seen her around anywhere?
00:11:06I saw her run away.
00:11:08Is that because of you?
00:11:09But I'll take you, that's fine.
00:11:10If she's left you, I'll take you.
00:11:11No, no, no, I'm really, really happy.
00:11:13If you've got the same personality and humble beliefs that she has, then I'll take you in my life as well.
00:11:20And just, yeah, we've really made something out of it.
00:11:23I have to admit, I am a little bit nervous.
00:11:25Let's go and have a nice evening.
00:11:27You ready?
00:11:28Yeah, let's go.
00:11:29Who would be?
00:11:30I don't know what the future is beholding here, but you simply just got to put your boots on and then get out there and do the boogie, I guess you could say.
00:11:38And to begin their waltz down memory lane, Simon has organised a very special surprise.
00:11:44I really hope that Eleni gets a kick out of it and to be honest, I'm pretty damn sure she will.
00:11:50Do you remember when we did this funny thing and it had this involved?
00:11:54Oh!
00:11:58Oh my God!
00:11:59The actual stretch limo from when we were married.
00:12:02Our wedding car!
00:12:04Seeing that car, it was a reminder of how far we've come.
00:12:09Thank you!
00:12:10I thought that would be pretty cool because we could reminisce on how it was on that day.
00:12:15Like complete strangers from different walks of life.
00:12:18Hello Eleni.
00:12:19Yeah, Simon's the name.
00:12:20I think I've seen you before somewhere anyway.
00:12:21That's good.
00:12:22In my dreams.
00:12:23Oh my God!
00:12:24And how it's been able to grow to something where we were actually really, really close and how it's still growing day by day.
00:12:37Trust me, I remember that day very well.
00:12:40Buckle up.
00:12:41Buckle up.
00:12:42It's kind of a celebration of how far we've come and hopefully the beginning of something bigger.
00:12:49The most important day of my life.
00:12:55Coming up.
00:12:56How amazing is this?
00:12:58Our grooms go all out on their final dates.
00:13:01Oh my God.
00:13:02This is so romantic and it's out of the movies.
00:13:05Taking their relationships to new heights.
00:13:12I really, really love it.
00:13:14Yeah.
00:13:15And new lows.
00:13:16I'd like to know where we're really at.
00:13:18What the hell?
00:13:19What do you mean?
00:13:20Like, what do you mean?
00:13:21Where do you stand?
00:13:22I'm scared about the future.
00:13:23You should be.
00:13:24I've got some serious thinking to do until you reunite for our balance.
00:13:29I'm literally just not feeling good at all.
00:13:32I feel like he wouldn't change a thing for me.
00:13:36Oh, it's written all in my face.
00:13:38I can't do this.
00:13:39I'm so sorry.
00:13:41As they near the end of the experiment, our couples must consider the practicalities
00:13:51of continuing their marriages after the experiment.
00:13:54Living in different states, it's something big we've still got to talk about.
00:13:59So I'm looking for something super special to take Susan away for the night.
00:14:04So just reconnect with each other over the whole period we've been in this experiment.
00:14:09Cool.
00:14:10So this is exciting, not knowing where we're going to go for the weekend.
00:14:14It will be very exciting.
00:14:16For Susan and Sean, they must use this date to discuss the issue of distance and how they'll
00:14:22manage it before it's too late.
00:14:24You're all packed.
00:14:25Ah, yeah.
00:14:26I believe we've got everything.
00:14:27You've got everything.
00:14:28The distance is the biggest issue with Susan and I.
00:14:31But Susan does mean a lot.
00:14:33Like, I love Susan for the girl that she is.
00:14:35You know, she's brought a lot of faith back to me and what I'm looking for in a girl.
00:14:40Got your bag.
00:14:41Yeah, better grab that.
00:14:42Cool.
00:14:43When we originally matched Susan and Sean, we knew that Sean was tied to his location
00:14:47because of his job and his family.
00:14:49Because I have the farm and that to look after and the kids, it does make it hard.
00:14:54But unfortunately, I cannot relocate to find love.
00:14:58Susan's in Perth, in the city.
00:15:00She's a city girl.
00:15:01And as we know, he's located in a very remote area of Queensland.
00:15:05But, down to earth, truck driver Susan was looking for all the qualities that Sean offered.
00:15:11I've met some wonderful men in my life, but they have stopped short of commitment.
00:15:15I really want a man who's very honest.
00:15:18Just someone really caring and really down to earth.
00:15:21But importantly, we knew that Susan was prepared to relocate for the right match.
00:15:26If it's the right person for me to share my life with, then I would definitely move for love.
00:15:33He's a guy that's very loyal, he's very committed, and he wants desperately to meet the ideal partner.
00:15:40We simply couldn't ignore the solid commonalities between these two.
00:15:44And we saw the chemistry at play the moment they met at the altar.
00:15:49Nice to meet you, I'm Susan.
00:15:50You too.
00:15:51What's your name?
00:15:52Sean.
00:15:53Sean.
00:15:54The experts have done an awesome job on matching both of us, you know, just in every way.
00:16:01This is so cool!
00:16:05Now, they can no longer put off addressing the issue of distance.
00:16:11Coming up to renewing the vows, it's a very big decision and a lot to give up, you know,
00:16:17to move for love.
00:16:18The whole journey's been absolutely amazing.
00:16:20But I feel bad that she's the one that has to move to be able to make this work.
00:16:30But Susan and Sean aren't the only couples struggling to decide if their relationship
00:16:34is strong enough to prompt an interstate move.
00:16:37Morning.
00:16:38Morning.
00:16:39As Victorian Vanessa made clear at the commitment ceremony last night.
00:16:44You've got to really decide if there's enough there for one of us to move interstate.
00:16:49I'm very concerned about that.
00:16:51But Queenslander Andy was adamant that their relationship is worth fighting for.
00:16:56We share something special.
00:16:58I'm really keen for it to work and want to give her the best chance possible.
00:17:03Throughout the experiment, we've seen extroverted Vanessa really struggling with Andy's more
00:17:10introverted nature.
00:17:13Oh, Andy.
00:17:14Oh, hello.
00:17:15But Andy's really grown in confidence during this process.
00:17:19I'd just like to pose a pose.
00:17:21The big fella stepped up.
00:17:22Fantastic.
00:17:23And Vanessa has a big smile on his face.
00:17:26Yes, very proud.
00:17:27Well, that's really the weight of her heart, isn't it?
00:17:29Yeah.
00:17:30Being more sociable and outspoken.
00:17:32Andy's come out of his shell time and time again.
00:17:35Welcome to the family.
00:17:36Seems a lovely guy.
00:17:37Probably not as quiet as Vanessa makes our.
00:17:38He's not quiet at all.
00:17:39Maybe you're just over the top.
00:17:40Yeah, I think you've been nitpicking.
00:17:41Let's talk about what we're doing today.
00:17:42What are we doing today?
00:17:43Andy really needs to show Vanessa that their life together can be full of the intimacy and
00:17:59the energy that she's really looking for.
00:18:01So we'll do something a bit more exciting, a bit more upbeat today.
00:18:04And crucially, Vanessa must acknowledge and embrace his efforts.
00:18:08I was thinking of taking you sky high and throwing you out of the plane.
00:18:13Seriously?
00:18:14We're going to go see our diving?
00:18:16Yeah.
00:18:17And you're going to come too?
00:18:19Yeah, unfortunately.
00:18:20I'm scared of heights.
00:18:22Oh my God.
00:18:23But I know how you always wanted to do it.
00:18:28Sort of putting myself out there.
00:18:30Andy is hopeful that this date will persuade wife Vanessa to renew her vows.
00:18:35This is really awesome.
00:18:37And give them a real shot at falling in love.
00:18:40You know, Andy offers me other things like stability and he's a gentleman and he's kind
00:18:45and he does listen and he does calm me down.
00:18:48We both obviously came onto the show to find love and I want something to work out between
00:18:53us.
00:18:54I'm glad you're happy.
00:18:57I said that going into the experiment that I would move for love.
00:18:59So the question is now whether or not I find that.
00:19:02Well, thank you.
00:19:03It's alright.
00:19:05I'm really excited.
00:19:06This experiment puts our couples in a position where they can absolutely fall in love.
00:19:12Let's do it.
00:19:13But when watching our couples, you will often see two people moving at a different pace
00:19:19emotionally.
00:19:20For Michelle and Jesse, that's been the struggle throughout.
00:19:25And last night at the final commitment ceremony, Jesse laid his heart on the line.
00:19:31I'm not willing to give up or quit.
00:19:35Yeah.
00:19:36Because I think you're worth fighting for.
00:19:43Leaving Michelle to make her toughest decision of the experiment so far.
00:19:48I'm fighting this really, I'm fighting this whole thing really hard.
00:19:54You know, I'm still trying to find that deeper connection with him.
00:19:58I really am.
00:19:59And when we exchanged vows, I made a commitment to you that day.
00:20:08So, I hate saying that.
00:20:11I hate saying that.
00:20:12I hate saying that.
00:20:13I hate saying that.
00:20:14Oh my God, that was so hard.
00:20:17I chose to stay because, thank you for opening up.
00:20:22I wanted to be fair to Jesse and fair to myself.
00:20:25So, I know that I gave it 100%.
00:20:28So, the decision I make at the very end will be the right one.
00:20:32You know, I want to give it one last chance to really see what we can do.
00:20:37You know, we've had two months pretty much to get to know each other.
00:20:40We're more, we're more friends than anything.
00:20:43You know, a little bit more than friends, but that's the direction that I saw us heading in.
00:20:48It's crucial on this final date that Jesse takes the reins and demonstrates to Michelle
00:20:53that he can be more than just a friend.
00:20:56And while Michelle finishes getting ready, Jesse's gone next door to write a heartfelt letter to his wife.
00:21:02Dear Mish, I have seen the door and for me to walk through it, I need you to find it.
00:21:09Today is pretty much my last ditch at making something happen.
00:21:14When she revealed that she wanted to stay, it felt like we can actually maybe give this a proper shot now.
00:21:22So, I'm putting everything out there today and, well, you know what, I've got nothing to lose and all the game.
00:21:31But back in their apartment...
00:21:35I'm getting stressed.
00:21:37Michelle is feeling the pressure to define feelings she's been unsure of since the start.
00:21:43Just give me a second.
00:21:46I think it just all hit me.
00:21:48Yeah, I'm worried and confused and I'm feeling all these different emotions about how he's feeling
00:21:55and what he's going to say to me and where we're both at.
00:21:59I just don't want to be that person to break anyone's heart.
00:22:02Angie's left questioning whether she can maintain her game face.
00:22:06I'm okay. I'm all excited and happy.
00:22:08But at the moment I have to start talking about everything, I kind of get a little bit emotional.
00:22:13F***ing hell.
00:22:19Yep.
00:22:20Yeah, Jessie's got something really fun planned.
00:22:22I think...
00:22:23Oh, it's written all in my face.
00:22:26I can't f***ing do this.
00:22:33I'm so sorry.
00:22:35I can't f***ing do this.
00:22:58I can't f***ing do this.
00:23:00I'm so sorry.
00:23:07As Michelle struggles with the pressure of the impending vow renewal,
00:23:14husband Jessie is throwing his cards on the table.
00:23:18With Jessie revealing that there's more to his feelings than just friends
00:23:22and Michelle deciding to stay in the experiment,
00:23:24there's more pressure than ever on her to work out how she feels about him.
00:23:28I'm getting all emotional now.
00:23:30This is not meant to be emotional.
00:23:31This is meant to be exciting.
00:23:33And to decide whether or not they have a future together.
00:23:36We decided to break this day and I owe it to Jessie to see it through to the end.
00:23:42The last thing I want to do is take anything out on Jessie.
00:23:45He's a great guy.
00:23:46He's kind.
00:23:47He's thoughtful.
00:23:48But I don't want Jessie to, you know, again, unleash his emotions
00:23:54and then me maybe just holding back like I do.
00:24:00Oh, hey, hey.
00:24:01That kind of does stress me out a little bit.
00:24:03Come on, put it on.
00:24:05Don't be a bad sport.
00:24:07Do I think that Jessie and I have a future?
00:24:09I don't know.
00:24:10But I'm here and I'm willing to give it a good go.
00:24:13Oh, my gosh.
00:24:15Alrighty.
00:24:16Let the fun begin.
00:24:25Are you nervous?
00:24:26Yeah, there's a part of me that's nervous, of course.
00:24:29I want to make sure this day goes perfect.
00:24:31So, yeah, I'm nervous.
00:24:34Are you confident?
00:24:35Very confident.
00:24:37I'm so confident and scary.
00:24:39Oh, really?
00:24:40Yeah.
00:24:41So, aren't you glad you said stay now?
00:24:45For a few reasons, yeah.
00:24:47You know, I haven't really showed Michelle the romantic side of me.
00:24:50What is going on?
00:24:51We've done nice things along the way, but I haven't actually really made an effort.
00:24:56They say it better late than never, right?
00:24:58So, here I am.
00:25:00Okay.
00:25:01You can take your blindfold off.
00:25:04Oh, my gosh.
00:25:05We're going on a boat.
00:25:07And we're going around the harbour.
00:25:09Cool.
00:25:10Cool.
00:25:12I have told Jessie that something I'd love to do is just go for a little stroll on a boat
00:25:17around the harbour.
00:25:18So, you're my captain.
00:25:19Yes.
00:25:21I'm very impressed that Jessie's picked this for me.
00:25:23He's obviously listening.
00:25:24He obviously has taken into account what I like.
00:25:28Hi, how are you going?
00:25:29Yeah, a little bit anxious before, but we're here now and it's going to be a great day.
00:25:34Back in the city, Nadia is arriving home to an empty apartment.
00:25:47I just came back from shopping.
00:25:49Anthony?
00:25:50Anthony?
00:25:51And Anthony's not here.
00:25:54And there's a gift on the table and a note.
00:26:00I'm intrigued.
00:26:01I wasn't expecting it.
00:26:02Do you Nadia, it's time to show you what you mean to me and how special our time has been
00:26:15together.
00:26:16It's date night.
00:26:17It's date night.
00:26:18To this point, our relationship has been on song.
00:26:20To this point, our relationship has been on song.
00:26:21Let's have an amazing date to remember.
00:26:23I've chosen a beautiful dress for you to wear and can't wait to see you later.
00:26:27There will be a card to collect you shortly.
00:26:30Look glam.
00:26:31See you in a bit, Anthony.
00:26:32Kiss, kiss.
00:26:33Okay.
00:26:34I'm feeling like there's something brewing.
00:26:44He's taking me somewhere.
00:26:46I have no idea where.
00:26:49And the dress is beautiful.
00:26:51But, you know, I'm not surprised it's black.
00:26:54I mean, he loves black, grey and white.
00:26:57So, this is definitely an Anthony dress.
00:27:02But things haven't been so black and white along the way for Nadia and Anthony.
00:27:07I'm just trying to drive the ship.
00:27:09And as far as I'm concerned, Nadia's mine.
00:27:12With Anthony's blunt approach causing tensions throughout the experiment.
00:27:17We've definitely got that common ground.
00:27:18The fact that we've both worked in the media industry.
00:27:20Although Nadia doesn't at the moment on a full time basis.
00:27:23We probably should.
00:27:25Is that a problem for you?
00:27:27Not at the moment.
00:27:29But lack of direction could be a problem.
00:27:33How's intimacy going with you two?
00:27:37There have been times where, for lack of a better term,
00:27:41you've been frigid.
00:27:42And last night, Anthony proved once again that his preferences take priority.
00:27:51If one of us moves, I would say it was more than likely Nadia.
00:27:56Leaving Nadia questioning whether she's ready to uproot her life for Anthony.
00:28:01I know.
00:28:02I just can't get my head around doing my head right now.
00:28:06And if she's ready to renew her vows.
00:28:09After the commitment ceremony, thinking about, oh my God, where to go from here.
00:28:13I'm literally just not feeling good at all.
00:28:17I was anxious.
00:28:19Feeling a little bit fragile.
00:28:23I'm incredibly nervous about the next phase.
00:28:30The reality is, you know, we both have to work.
00:28:33And we've got to go back to our lives.
00:28:35My work is in Brisbane.
00:28:37His is here.
00:28:38You know.
00:28:40I'm not ready to drop everything.
00:28:43I'm trying to get my focus of what I'm doing with my career.
00:28:46What I'm doing with my life.
00:28:48And there are things that I want to be pursuing.
00:28:51So how are we going to do this?
00:28:53You know, it just feels like, you know, you're always kind of packing your bags and moving.
00:29:01I mean, it's not hard for Anthony.
00:29:03I mean, he lives here.
00:29:04He hasn't really been out of his comfort zone, to be honest.
00:29:07I mean, the only thing that's been out of his comfort zone has been the fact that he's
00:29:10been sharing his life with somebody.
00:29:13I feel like he wouldn't change a thing for me.
00:29:19I'm so afraid I've made a decision, you know, in the past.
00:29:23Which, you know, one of the hardest times of my life was moving to Brisbane for somebody
00:29:27and then having it fall apart.
00:29:29I'm starting to sort of think, gosh, you know, he's had it lucky.
00:29:32Because he hasn't really fully been out of his comfort zone.
00:29:36Whereas life is on hold for me.
00:29:38So I feel a bit just sort of distant from my real life.
00:29:42Where I do what I want.
00:29:44I think for myself.
00:29:46And I choose what's right for me.
00:29:48And I don't want to make another mistake.
00:29:52But, you know what?
00:29:53I wouldn't change anything.
00:29:54My intuition tells me we're very close.
00:29:58Simon is helping his wife reminisce by whisking her across town in their
00:30:02original wedding car now that I'm back in this car now memories are coming back
00:30:08certainly made me realize how brave and crazy I was on that day to do something
00:30:13like that but you know I wouldn't change anything my intuition tells me we're
00:30:19very close and for Simon's next surprise thank you come on Marilyn
00:30:27he's planned a romantic rooftop dinner at sunset we can actually look back to
00:30:34how we were for example on our honeymoon where many a times we sat there on a
00:30:39beautiful island you look absolutely beautiful watching the Sun go down I'm
00:30:52feeling really happy this is so romantic and it's kind of like out of the movies
00:30:59would you like a seat my dear yes the effort is great because this is not a side of
00:31:06Simon that I've seen before would you like a drink to go with it and I just want to
00:31:12squish Simon you know he's so cute and adorable and he does things like this it's
00:31:16fantastic to see how fast Simon Alini have come in this experiment to us however
00:31:23one of our early concerns was how inexperienced they both are in
00:31:27relationships as this can hinder open communication about their feelings which
00:31:32is crucial at this stage of the experiment when discussing their future
00:31:36together I have never been in love I am looking for it I don't even know how to
00:31:44describe love and after suffering from severe epilepsy in his early 20s Simon
00:31:50also struggled to find love I had to move back in with mum and dad and learn how to
00:31:55talk again so it's sort of really not my self-esteem the idea of talking to the
00:32:00opposite gender I didn't even know how to begin but the benefit of their
00:32:05experience is that they've been able to move at the same pace and explore
00:32:10their feelings slowly together that is lovely to look at and I'm not talking
00:32:15about the view out there if you know what I mean oh what are you talking about then
00:32:19please enlighten me you and your gorgeous looks yeah the eyes the hair you don't
00:32:26need the makeup to go with it because you're beautiful enough as it is
00:32:35still trying to win Vanessa over once and for all hello hey guys andy is about to
00:32:46take the ultimate leap of faith I got a fear of heights but coming to the end of
00:32:52the experiment I knew this is my last time with Vanessa to make clear what my feelings
00:32:57are and what the future holds for us so how are we feeling today guys ready to go
00:33:03and it's not the first time Andy's been tested by Vanessa I have no idea what your personality is
00:33:17like because you don't showcase it disappointing because I thought I was doing all right after she
00:33:24pushed him a step too far during her home stay the moment I don't feel like we're completely connected I
00:33:31think I'm progressing I think I'm doing really good I've really come out of my shell during this
00:33:35experiment I need more playfulness I need more interaction it's sort of not good enough at the
00:33:41moment make me look like a idiot I have hurt his feelings definitely didn't say what I wanted to say
00:33:53in the right way I think it's not a nice thing to hear from someone that you being you is not good
00:33:59enough at the moment we're done done how long do we free fall for free fall be about 40 seconds long
00:34:0640 seconds seems like a long time plenty of time to scream then you worry about yeah okay great
00:34:11for Andy to overcome his fear not really really appreciate it I'm really proud of him okay I don't
00:34:24if I could say that I would do the same in return if I had a fear of something in a relationship the
00:34:31fear of pushing a partner away that you have deep feelings for can drive people to do things far
00:34:37beyond their normal comfort zone as a declaration of commitment and the sacrifices they're prepared to
00:34:44make for that person in the future yeah I'm sitting myself
00:34:54oh my god
00:35:09oh my god
00:35:21oh
00:35:25oh
00:35:29oh
00:35:31oh
00:35:35oh
00:35:37oh
00:35:39oh
00:35:41oh
00:35:43oh
00:35:45oh
00:35:47Yeah! Hello! I'm still attached! Okay! Woo! How are you feeling? Amazing, that was cool.
00:36:09I'd definitely do that again. Really? Yeah.
00:36:11Angie and I are both people that bond through doing activities together. Woo!
00:36:15I mean, I want someone that wants to do this type of stuff with me that will give anything a go even if they're not enthused about doing it.
00:36:23But you overcame a massive fear today. For you. Me?
00:36:28But we need a bit of a chat about some things in our relationship or what we're going to do after the experiment. It was really awesome.
00:36:36It's quite alright. From here, it was a fair bit to think about, a fair bit to talk about.
00:36:41We're about to go for a little picnic. She's had things on her mind and it was time for me to be in that uncomfortable situation and try and tell her the best I can about my feelings.
00:36:52We've got an eyelash. Yep.
00:36:54You make a wish.
00:36:55Still to come.
00:36:57Happiest day of my life.
00:36:59While some final dates soar.
00:37:01It's gorgeous.
00:37:03Feel very special.
00:37:04Others hit troubled waters.
00:37:06We've been like, you know, in the direction of friends for so long.
00:37:10Then you just come out with all these big feelies and shit.
00:37:13Kind of unsettling.
00:37:14And Nick and Sharon.
00:37:16I think you know where I stand.
00:37:17Honestly, I don't.
00:37:19What do you mean?
00:37:20Hit breaking point.
00:37:21I'm still scared of getting hurt.
00:37:22Sure.
00:37:23With the vow renewal on the horizon, on Sharon and Nick's final date, Sharon is wrestling with trust issues.
00:37:37Can you relax your hand a little bit?
00:37:38Yeah.
00:37:40Oh my God.
00:37:41After a bad dream about Nick raised fears about their future.
00:37:46Trust me for once.
00:37:47Yeah, that's a point.
00:37:48That's a good point.
00:37:50After last night's dreams I had and waking up this morning in a mood.
00:37:55There's been a lot on my mind.
00:37:56What are we doing?
00:37:57This is the last opportunity I get to show Sharon how serious I am in this whole experiment.
00:38:02Hold on.
00:38:03I don't want her to leave with any bad impressions or bad feelings.
00:38:06Are you ready?
00:38:07No.
00:38:08Today I have a little surprise up mostly.
00:38:09I hope she likes it.
00:38:10I don't want to open my eyes.
00:38:11Oh yes!
00:38:12Yes!
00:38:13This is awesome.
00:38:14Well done.
00:38:15Lena Park.
00:38:16We're here.
00:38:17I hope that you're going to Lena Park.
00:38:18You happy now?
00:38:19I am happy.
00:38:20I have wanted to come here.
00:38:21I've actually said it to him and he listens.
00:38:26The way I was feeling this morning, I need something like this just to shift my mood.
00:38:33Wow, my bum looks big in this.
00:38:35You should lay off this.
00:38:36Oh my God.
00:38:37Nick maybe isn't as verbal in the way he feels towards me as I would like.
00:38:41I need some food.
00:38:42Every day he surprises me more and more with how thoughtful and attentive he is.
00:38:47Are you excited?
00:38:48No.
00:38:49To see Sharon in a happier mood, it makes me feel good.
00:38:53Good luck.
00:38:54These break down all the time.
00:38:56Nick.
00:38:57I think he's actually a little bit afraid of scary rides.
00:39:01Oh my God.
00:39:02I was scared shitless.
00:39:03Look how you get me into.
00:39:04Risking my life.
00:39:05You do for love, isn't it?
00:39:06What?
00:39:07Sharon's definitely worth risking it for.
00:39:08Things you do for love.
00:39:09I've gathered you don't like heights.
00:39:10Shaz, I think I hate you right now.
00:39:11I'm scared as you.
00:39:12Realising that Nick's afraid of heights and scared of these rides, it does make it pretty
00:39:16special that he's brought me here today.
00:39:17That's what I think Mara's like, up and down.
00:39:18I've done this today for Sharon.
00:39:19It's her last chance to really bond before the end of the experiment and had to have
00:39:42on those scary rides to show that I am definitely keen.
00:39:47So you're happy? Have I done well?
00:39:49You've done amazing.
00:39:50This has absolutely lifted me since this morning.
00:39:53I can see the Opera House, the bridge.
00:39:56Overlooking the whole of Sydney,
00:39:58it was a nice reflection of our time in Sydney together.
00:40:02It's definitely different from this morning, eh?
00:40:05A bit of a bit stressed.
00:40:07Lots of things playing on my mind.
00:40:08I'm feeling this way because we're nearing the end of the experiment.
00:40:13We've got to make some really big decisions
00:40:14and they're going to be life-changing decisions
00:40:16because we're going to be apart.
00:40:18I want to know where his head's at.
00:40:20The surprises don't end here.
00:40:22Really?
00:40:22Just getting started.
00:40:23All right.
00:40:26Across the harbour,
00:40:27Jessie's attempting to steer Michelle out of the friend zone for good.
00:40:32It's a good way to start the morning.
00:40:35There's got to be a bit of a romance today.
00:40:36I want to do my best to make sure she has a good time.
00:40:40Oh, there's something about the water that relaxes me.
00:40:43I love it.
00:40:44That's why I brought you here.
00:40:45Yeah, I'm done.
00:40:46Getting off your arse and doing something.
00:40:49Yeah, he did very well.
00:40:50Jessie doesn't normally put in so much effort.
00:40:52I can think he's really trying.
00:40:54It was definitely out of character for him
00:40:56and that's just confused the hell out of me.
00:40:58What's most crucial for Michelle at this point is honesty.
00:41:02Not just with Jessie, but with herself.
00:41:05To think that seven weeks ago we were complete strangers
00:41:08and we've spent pretty much every single day together
00:41:12since we first met
00:41:14and that's not what normal couples do.
00:41:17It hasn't been smooth sailing.
00:41:19We're in limbo for a lot of it.
00:41:21We're hiding the real emotions.
00:41:23I think we're dancing around, getting in deep.
00:41:28But when you think about it,
00:41:30we've done a lot together.
00:41:32Team us.
00:41:32Well done.
00:41:33Yeah, I think it's been an amazing experience.
00:41:43I think I have to agree with you on that.
00:41:46Things are going well.
00:41:47You know, I couldn't plan any better.
00:41:49Definitely feels like there could be a future.
00:41:53I'm confident that we're both on the same page.
00:41:57You know, you're such a nice guy.
00:41:59As we usually do, there's, you know,
00:42:01just very light conversation.
00:42:03This is the light, but still hard.
00:42:06At the renew of the vows,
00:42:08we both don't really know what's going to happen.
00:42:10At least something you needed.
00:42:12Mm-hmm.
00:42:13But I keep coming back to,
00:42:16hey, buddy, she's mate.
00:42:18She's what?
00:42:20She's mate.
00:42:22She's... did you say she's mate?
00:42:24Yeah.
00:42:25Isn't someone you'd say to, like, a mate?
00:42:30Yeah.
00:42:30I don't want to lead anyone on.
00:42:34I don't want him to get hurt.
00:42:36This is where I get serious.
00:42:37It's been pretty up and down for us a lot of the time.
00:42:40But if I decided not to reciprocate those feelings,
00:42:44I think Jessie would be shattered.
00:42:46You have to see both points of view.
00:42:49We've been, like, you know,
00:42:50in the direction of friends for so long.
00:42:53And then you just come out with all these big feelings and shit.
00:42:56It's kind of unsettling.
00:42:58I've got to be true to myself,
00:42:59and I can only give what we feel.
00:43:01But we both know we're not going to run away from this.
00:43:05Hmm.
00:43:06We'll see.
00:43:07I'm after someone to spend the rest of my life with,
00:43:10and I'm just not sure if he's the one.
00:43:16After the break...
00:43:17Feeling a little bit anxious.
00:43:19...Nadia and Anthony's final date...
00:43:21...hits a sour note.
00:43:25I don't want to be forced into it.
00:43:27It makes me feel really uneasy.
00:43:29There's a part of me that wants to just go.
00:43:35For their final date,
00:43:37Sean is whisking Susan away
00:43:39for a romantic overnight stay in the countryside.
00:43:43We're definitely out of the city now.
00:43:46Are you feeling a bit better?
00:43:48Not better.
00:43:49Susan came to the experiment
00:43:51looking for loyalty, honesty and commitment in a partner.
00:43:54And she's found all of those qualities in Sean.
00:43:57However, she's really struggling
00:43:59with the idea of lifestyle on the farm in Queensland.
00:44:02His world is completely different
00:44:05to anything that I've really wanted for myself.
00:44:08Oh, Danielle.
00:44:10I know that I said I would definitely move for love.
00:44:13But through this whole process,
00:44:14I've realised how much I need a lot of my loved ones,
00:44:18friends, family all around me.
00:44:20I think that's why I am the happy person I am,
00:44:22because I have that.
00:44:23So I don't know if I would be that same person
00:44:27who is completely happy
00:44:28if I was to be removed away from that.
00:44:31But Sean is hoping this date
00:44:33can change her mind once and for all.
00:44:35Oh, my...
00:44:37Gosh, look at this.
00:44:39Wow.
00:44:40Holy mackerel.
00:44:41Look at the strawberries with chocolate on it.
00:44:43I've tried to give Susan what she enjoys.
00:44:47Oh, and a nice bottle of champs.
00:44:49It's all like the honeymoon all over again.
00:44:51And then involve a bit what I like.
00:44:53Horsies.
00:44:54Oh.
00:44:55Sean's taken me out of the city
00:44:57to this beautiful place.
00:44:59It's gorgeous.
00:44:59My beautiful wife.
00:45:02Well said.
00:45:04This is la-di-da.
00:45:06Well done.
00:45:07I feel really special and thought of in every way.
00:45:12Wait till you see what I have in store for you tomorrow.
00:45:14Oh, really?
00:45:15The next morning, it's an early start for Susan and Sean.
00:45:27Just not allowed to see where we're going.
00:45:30Just really want to give her this awesome experience.
00:45:33I'm just super excited to be able to have this romantic day with her.
00:45:37And we're just about there.
00:45:38And Sean's planned a surprise
00:45:40that not only combines both their passions,
00:45:42but will ensure they leave the experiment on a high.
00:45:49He's going to take the blindfold off you.
00:45:55How amazing is this?
00:45:57I've spent, you know, a fair bit of time
00:45:59trying to get the perfect date for Susan.
00:46:02I know she travels around the world and a bit of flying
00:46:05and then, you know, just involve a bit what I like.
00:46:07Shall we go?
00:46:08Let's go.
00:46:09We can both share a nice, beautiful ride over the land.
00:46:12He wanted to join those two almost lifestyles and passions
00:46:20together in a beautiful day.
00:46:24Wow.
00:46:24It's gorgeous.
00:46:26And, sure enough...
00:46:28Beautiful.
00:46:29...Sean's efforts fire up their romance.
00:46:34Just to have such beautiful scenery was just insane.
00:46:38Look at that.
00:46:38That's three tops.
00:46:40Wow.
00:46:40That's pretty amazing.
00:46:46It's almost like picking me a flower from the top of a tree.
00:46:51That's something I'll probably never experience ever again.
00:46:54The whole adventure, it's just not very quick.
00:46:56Yeah.
00:46:58Just meeting someone like yourself,
00:46:59I was struggling to know or to find
00:47:03if there was a girl out there like that.
00:47:05Oh, yeah.
00:47:06Yes.
00:47:08And then you found her waiting for you all the time.
00:47:10I have.
00:47:11And you restored the faith.
00:47:12Yeah.
00:47:13I don't think I've ever met a guy so thoughtful and caring for me
00:47:18and it's really nice to have a chance to meet you
00:47:23and to love you.
00:47:24Thanks.
00:47:25You too.
00:47:26Yeah.
00:47:27I really, really love him.
00:47:29Yeah.
00:47:29So there is a massive decision to be made
00:47:32and it's not an easy one at all.
00:47:36You did well.
00:47:41Back in Sydney,
00:47:43Anthony is waiting to surprise wife Nadia
00:47:46with the first part of their final date.
00:47:49It means a lot tonight, you know.
00:47:51It's the last opportunity that I get to show Nadia
00:47:54how much she means to me.
00:47:56I made a vow in my vows when I met Nadia
00:47:59to make her my number one.
00:48:02So I've planned tonight
00:48:03and it's all about Nadia and spoiling her
00:48:06and taking her back to what she's passionate about.
00:48:10But Nadia has spent the morning struggling
00:48:13with the weight of the huge decision they have ahead.
00:48:17Today did start out a bad day
00:48:18because I was a bit anxious.
00:48:20But I've got to be in the present
00:48:22and I just have to be optimistic and hopeful
00:48:25that if Anthony and I meant to be together
00:48:27that the right things will happen.
00:48:30Hi.
00:48:30What are you doing?
00:48:33You look beautiful.
00:48:34Do you like the dress?
00:48:35Yes.
00:48:36How are you?
00:48:37You look so beautiful.
00:48:38He's wearing his wedding suit.
00:48:42Come with me.
00:48:44And we come to this little forest
00:48:46and there was this beautiful picnic
00:48:50sort of rug set up
00:48:51and...
00:48:53Oh, my God.
00:48:55Opera singers.
00:48:57So we're having a night at the opera
00:48:59because I know that music's something
00:49:04that you're very passionate about
00:49:05but you don't discuss it as much with me
00:49:07because I'm not musical.
00:49:08It was definitely from the heart
00:49:10he'd thought really thoroughly about this date
00:49:14and what I would like.
00:49:16Cheers.
00:49:17Cheers.
00:49:17Cheers.
00:49:17It was beautiful.
00:49:30It was beautiful.
00:49:35But I'm still feeling a little bit apprehensive
00:49:39about that whole move
00:49:41and then what's to come.
00:49:49I'm going back to Brisbane
00:49:50but I'm not the same Nadia that I was when I left.
00:49:53And it's really important that I hold on to that.
00:50:03And that does make me put the brakes on a little bit.
00:50:06I don't want to be forced into it.
00:50:16It's a fear of this is it.
00:50:19This is us on our own
00:50:20without any supports,
00:50:22without this experiment.
00:50:24And I guess I just want to be sure
00:50:28that he is going to stand by his word
00:50:32and that he's not going to drop the ball.
00:50:36I think that's a big fear in a relationship for me.
00:50:41And I think it's all starting to come out.
00:50:47And I did say I'm feeling anxious.
00:50:50Just last night, just triggered off.
00:50:55You know, the end.
00:50:57And that just put me into this spin
00:50:59of knowing that I've got to go back to Brisbane
00:51:03and that makes me feel really uneasy.
00:51:06No, no, I'll be fine.
00:51:10The whole experiment has been amazing
00:51:14and you've been so supportive
00:51:15and understanding and thoughtful.
00:51:19And you've really put me first
00:51:20the whole way through.
00:51:22You know, and
00:51:24I'm determined to make it work.
00:51:31He was so complimentary as per usual.
00:51:34But, you know,
00:51:36how many men do you meet
00:51:38bring it on in that first instant
00:51:40just to woo you?
00:51:42As soon as things get comfortable,
00:51:44they kick back
00:51:45and forget about the value
00:51:48of who you are in a relationship.
00:51:50I don't want that.
00:51:52I've got to kind of work out
00:51:53what we're doing.
00:51:55I'm nervous.
00:51:56I'm very nervous.
00:51:57Yeah.
00:51:58There's a part of me
00:51:59that wants to just go,
00:52:01I'm not going to hide that.
00:52:03That's how I feel.
00:52:09As Alini and Simon
00:52:10spend their final date
00:52:12reflecting on their journey.
00:52:13I think we're lucky.
00:52:14Because I do think
00:52:17that I have been
00:52:20lucky with my match.
00:52:22It's a time to focus on the highs.
00:52:24As do I.
00:52:25And the lows.
00:52:26Maybe I didn't think that.
00:52:28You know,
00:52:28the first time.
00:52:29Oh, I sort of got...
00:52:30Honeymoon was a challenge.
00:52:32Honeymoon, I was like,
00:52:33why am I matched with this person?
00:52:35So do you think
00:52:35our lovely matchmakers did well?
00:52:39Yeah, I think we've done
00:52:40a good job, yeah.
00:52:41Okay.
00:52:42What are you thinking?
00:52:42Don't like the curly long hair.
00:52:44I know that.
00:52:46Yeah!
00:52:47But things soon began
00:52:48changing for them.
00:52:49Oh my God,
00:52:50in the makeover.
00:52:52Happiest day of my life.
00:52:54Yeah.
00:52:55You're hiding under all your hair.
00:52:56Why are you hiding for?
00:52:58You want it.
00:52:59You want it.
00:53:00You want it.
00:53:02Oh, stop it.
00:53:04Ah!
00:53:06Oh my God!
00:53:07What do you think?
00:53:08Oh my God!
00:53:11You know what?
00:53:12That's when I knew you liked me.
00:53:15Oh yeah, why?
00:53:16I thought to myself,
00:53:17we've only been married for a week.
00:53:18If I didn't care
00:53:19about the other person,
00:53:21I'd be like,
00:53:22hmm, I don't care
00:53:22what they think of me.
00:53:23Whatever.
00:53:24But considering you didn't
00:53:25wherever me,
00:53:26that showed me that there's
00:53:27something in you that cares.
00:53:29You know,
00:53:29you do want me to like you.
00:53:30You do want me to be
00:53:31attracted to you.
00:53:33Seeing Alene giggling
00:53:34and carrying on
00:53:35like a little schoolgirl,
00:53:36it was actually really cute
00:53:37to see her like that.
00:53:40When was the time
00:53:41you realised I like you?
00:53:44Because I know
00:53:44when I started liking you.
00:53:46When was this?
00:53:47Beginning of the honeymoon.
00:53:48You were very
00:53:49kind of reserved.
00:53:50I couldn't see
00:53:51your personality
00:53:51like really hiding yourself.
00:53:53And then we did
00:53:55the dancing.
00:53:57That's what I was thinking of.
00:53:59It was the dancing.
00:54:00We're just going to do
00:54:01a bit of boring dancing.
00:54:02When we were on our honeymoon,
00:54:04it was probably a little bit
00:54:05when I dropped my guard down
00:54:07a little bit
00:54:07and opened up
00:54:08and started to show
00:54:10my quirky side
00:54:11as being out there
00:54:12and having a crack at new things.
00:54:13No, Simon.
00:54:14No.
00:54:15And I just want to reminisce
00:54:17how much we've actually
00:54:18really opened up since then.
00:54:20I sure as hell
00:54:21didn't think I'd be doing this
00:54:23in Sydney
00:54:23with a girl
00:54:24that only missed
00:54:24at the altar
00:54:26seven weeks prior.
00:54:28No, no, Sydney girl.
00:54:29A girl who comes
00:54:30from a culture
00:54:31and a background
00:54:32so different to yours.
00:54:33But again,
00:54:34the way you embrace that
00:54:35and it didn't faze you one bit.
00:54:37All folks at the end of the day
00:54:38still love their friends
00:54:39and family.
00:54:41And Alini and Simon
00:54:42have even started talking
00:54:44about a family of their own.
00:54:46Can you imagine?
00:54:47We have like
00:54:48children and grandchildren
00:54:49and grandchildren
00:54:50and they'll be like
00:54:51so how did your grandma
00:54:52and grandpa meet?
00:54:53Well!
00:54:56We met at a wedding.
00:54:58It was our wedding.
00:55:01I can see a future of Simon.
00:55:03We are going to have obstacles
00:55:04in our way
00:55:05with the distance
00:55:05that's between us
00:55:06because of the cities
00:55:07we come from.
00:55:08What's going to happen
00:55:09in a distance?
00:55:10It's hard to predict.
00:55:11All I can do is hope
00:55:13Simon will put in an effort
00:55:15and not give up.
00:55:20After a frank discussion
00:55:21on the boat
00:55:22Jesse has one final surprise
00:55:25for Michelle.
00:55:26What have you got planned?
00:55:29He's hoping the letter
00:55:30he's written
00:55:30will win her over
00:55:31and seal their fate
00:55:33as a couple.
00:55:34I've made this decision
00:55:35to actually work for this
00:55:37so I'm putting everything
00:55:38out there today
00:55:39but I'm scared
00:55:41because I see the future
00:55:43with Michelle
00:55:43but she's still
00:55:44holding back.
00:55:46This is a critical time
00:55:47for Jesse.
00:55:48He needs to step up
00:55:49and be the man
00:55:50that Michelle has always wanted
00:55:51or she'll relegate Jesse
00:55:54to the friend zone
00:55:55for good.
00:55:57Look at this.
00:55:59Wow.
00:56:00Isn't that a lie?
00:56:02We were heading towards
00:56:03a friendship
00:56:04and I've taken
00:56:06this sudden turn
00:56:06to say no.
00:56:07I just see there's a possibility
00:56:09that we could
00:56:10have something together.
00:56:12What have we got here?
00:56:13Well.
00:56:15One of my faves.
00:56:17So the only boy.
00:56:19Blanc.
00:56:20Blanc, sorry.
00:56:21Whatever.
00:56:22Yeah.
00:56:24She's still not there yet
00:56:26but this is our final date
00:56:27before the renewal
00:56:28of the vows
00:56:28and this is something
00:56:29that I'm not going
00:56:30to take lightly
00:56:30because I don't want
00:56:31to go home
00:56:32with regrets.
00:56:35When you think about it
00:56:36this is probably
00:56:36our last alone time
00:56:38that we've got
00:56:39until we leave.
00:56:41It's kind of surreal.
00:56:44It was a bit, isn't it?
00:56:45Yeah.
00:56:46Since the commitment ceremony
00:56:48you know obviously
00:56:50Jesse really opened up
00:56:51and I take my hat off
00:56:54to him for being
00:56:55so vulnerable.
00:56:56That just wasn't
00:56:57just some sporadic
00:56:58sort of thing.
00:56:58No, that was real.
00:56:59No, no, it was real.
00:57:02I was there.
00:57:03Yeah.
00:57:03I felt it.
00:57:05I know.
00:57:05Yeah.
00:57:06Yeah.
00:57:07It was intense.
00:57:09It was a little awkward
00:57:09but I'm definitely
00:57:11appreciating that
00:57:12it's not easy for him
00:57:13when we're on the
00:57:15expert couch.
00:57:16I actually
00:57:16my body was shaking.
00:57:19If you just saw me
00:57:22as just a mate
00:57:24you probably wouldn't
00:57:25have been like that.
00:57:26If this marriage
00:57:26doesn't work out
00:57:27I'd be really hurt.
00:57:30I don't want to just
00:57:31give up.
00:57:32I don't want to just
00:57:32like you know
00:57:33pack up my bags
00:57:34and leave
00:57:34and go yet
00:57:35we sort of tried
00:57:36but she's still
00:57:39got that guard up.
00:57:41I don't want her
00:57:42to take another step
00:57:42back.
00:57:43I want to take
00:57:43a step forward.
00:57:44I see this potential
00:57:45and that's what
00:57:47I want to show her
00:57:48on that note.
00:57:49I've got something
00:57:50for you.
00:57:52More cheese?
00:57:54No, something
00:57:55that I want you
00:57:56to read out loud.
00:57:57You want me
00:57:58to read this out loud?
00:57:59If you don't
00:58:00want to read it
00:58:00I'll read it
00:58:01for you.
00:58:01I'm happy to read
00:58:02it for you.
00:58:02A lot is going
00:58:04through my head
00:58:05right now.
00:58:06I want to make
00:58:07this work.
00:58:09I just thought
00:58:09shit I've actually
00:58:10to think about
00:58:11exactly how I feel.
00:58:13I think I need
00:58:13another drink.
00:58:14Have a big gulp.
00:58:15I'm opening myself
00:58:16up towards her
00:58:17and putting myself
00:58:18on the line
00:58:19because if I don't
00:58:21we're pretty much
00:58:23set to be
00:58:24just friends.
00:58:29Sharon and Nick's
00:58:30final date has
00:58:31been a rollercoaster
00:58:32of emotion.
00:58:34Where are you
00:58:34taking me?
00:58:35It's a secret.
00:58:36But with Sharon's
00:58:37trust issues still
00:58:38playing on her mind
00:58:39Nick has planned
00:58:41a heart to heart
00:58:42about their future.
00:58:44Being married
00:58:44we shouldn't have
00:58:45any secrets.
00:58:46It's a surprise
00:58:47then.
00:58:47Oh okay.
00:58:48Sharon had a bit
00:58:49of a dream last
00:58:50night and she was
00:58:51in a bit of a bad
00:58:51mood this morning
00:58:52but I took her
00:58:54to a little secret
00:58:55garden just here
00:58:57so she can have
00:58:58a little bit of a
00:58:58conversation about
00:58:59the future.
00:58:59How good is this?
00:59:01It's overlooking
00:59:02Lena Park.
00:59:03Yeah.
00:59:04Beautiful.
00:59:06I'm in a much
00:59:06better head space
00:59:07than I was this
00:59:08morning.
00:59:09How's your mood?
00:59:10The mood's good.
00:59:12The mood's good.
00:59:12But even though I'm
00:59:13having this awesome
00:59:14day there are things
00:59:15just ticking over in
00:59:16the back of my head
00:59:17about him and about
00:59:18us.
00:59:20It's quite scary how
00:59:21we're going to not
00:59:21see each other for a
00:59:22little bit.
00:59:23Yeah like I didn't
00:59:24realise it was
00:59:26going to be such
00:59:27a long time apart
00:59:28because we're
00:59:29going to be apart.
00:59:30I guess the trust
00:59:32issues that I have
00:59:34from past
00:59:34relationships there's
00:59:36always something
00:59:37niggling there.
00:59:38You know it's
00:59:39easy just to part
00:59:40ways and continue
00:59:42on with your life
00:59:43that was before
00:59:44the experiment.
00:59:46In this experiment
00:59:47you don't have all
00:59:49the exterior
00:59:50temptations like in
00:59:52the real world.
00:59:54That's a whole
00:59:54different ball game.
00:59:56Nothing that we
00:59:56can't handle.
00:59:58I think we're
00:59:58alright.
00:59:59Yeah like we're
00:59:59alright.
01:00:00Yeah of course
01:00:01we're alright.
01:00:03But I guess for us
01:00:05to move to the next
01:00:06stage I think I
01:00:07think I need more
01:00:08than alright.
01:00:10I'm not going to be
01:00:11there.
01:00:12Is he going to get
01:00:12lonely and find a
01:00:15replacement?
01:00:16I need Nick to
01:00:16reassure me to feel
01:00:18secure in moving
01:00:19forward without him
01:00:20for a while.
01:00:21I need to know if I
01:00:22can do it.
01:00:22I need to trust him.
01:00:24It's actually pretty
01:00:25hard to find people
01:00:26who are loyal and
01:00:27trustworthy believe it
01:00:28or not.
01:00:29I know she has
01:00:31trust issues but I'm
01:00:33a very trustworthy
01:00:34person.
01:00:35I've been cheated on
01:00:35myself.
01:00:36I'll never drop to
01:00:37that level and
01:00:37cheat on someone.
01:00:38I can tell you've
01:00:39been hurt before.
01:00:40Yeah.
01:00:40Honestly I haven't
01:00:42really felt this way.
01:00:44Yeah I've probably
01:00:45been in love before
01:00:46but I've never seen a
01:00:48future of those people
01:00:49and that's a massive
01:00:50difference for me.
01:00:50To be able to
01:00:51actually see a future
01:00:52and get along this
01:00:53well that's actually
01:00:55first for me.
01:00:56I'm not wasting your
01:00:57time.
01:00:59I'm in this for the
01:01:00long haul and it's
01:01:02going to be pretty hard
01:01:03to get rid of me.
01:01:03I'll make it hard.
01:01:07Nick opening up today
01:01:08definitely pulled some
01:01:09heart strings.
01:01:10I've got some serious
01:01:11thinking to do until we
01:01:13reunite for our vows.
01:01:15I feel like I've opened
01:01:17my heart a little bit
01:01:18and hopefully you stick
01:01:20around after this.
01:01:22I definitely put
01:01:24everything out there for
01:01:25Sharon today.
01:01:27Where do you stand?
01:01:28I think you know where I
01:01:29stand?
01:01:30Honestly I don't.
01:01:32How do you feel?
01:01:33How do I feel?
01:01:34I've told you how I
01:01:35feel.
01:01:35Oh right.
01:01:37Nick put me on the
01:01:38spot.
01:01:39I don't know there's
01:01:40like a wall there like
01:01:41I can't even think.
01:01:44I think I've been
01:01:44pretty bloody like I've
01:01:46said the way I feel.
01:01:48Yeah I know you've
01:01:49made an effort.
01:01:50I think it's only fair to
01:01:54see the same kind of
01:01:54respect.
01:01:55making me feel very
01:01:57nervous yeah.
01:01:59You should be.
01:02:00Maybe if you open up
01:02:02more I will.
01:02:03I've tried to open up.
01:02:05Sharon was holding her
01:02:06cards close to her.
01:02:09She doesn't want to get
01:02:09hurt but I need to know
01:02:12how she feels so I don't
01:02:13get hurt either.
01:02:15Just honestly I like to
01:02:18know where we're really
01:02:19at you know.
01:02:20What do you mean?
01:02:21Yeah I feel like I've
01:02:22opened my heart a little
01:02:24bit and I need you to
01:02:25reassure me.
01:02:26It's all about being
01:02:28honest.
01:02:28I know and I am.
01:02:31Yeah like it's not
01:02:31that scares me just
01:02:32thought.
01:02:33Yeah we've been being
01:02:34like away from you.
01:02:35I'm still scared of
01:02:36getting hurt.
01:02:38Like I said I'm in
01:02:38this for long haul and
01:02:39uh.
01:02:41I guess I still don't
01:02:42know if I feel ready to
01:02:44renew my bowels or
01:02:45not.
01:02:48It's because I'm
01:02:49sorry.
