00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,520
Tonight is about holding a mirror
up to their relationships,

177
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:42,120
keeping them accountable

178
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,920
and ultimately sending them into
the next phase of the experiment

179
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,680
with the right tools
to strengthen their marriage.

180
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,080
Are you writing stay or leave?
Don't know yet.

181
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,040
Oh, don't be rude.
I'll have to work it out.

182
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,400
Um, I'll have to sit down
and have a think about it.

183
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,200
Which one do you know how to spell?

184

it's wedded bliss for Gia and Scott.

You look stunning.
Thank you.

189
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:19,720
..as they prepare to enter tonight
feeling as strong as ever.

190
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,400
I'm actually excited.
I'm excited to see the experts.

191
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,200
I can't wait... Yeah. (LAUGHS)
It's gonna be so fun.

192
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,200
I'm excited to see what they
have to say, to be honest.

193
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:27,560
It'll be good.

194
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:29,640
GIA: I think with me and Scott,
the feelings are growing every day.

195
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:30,760
We are so close.

196
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,520
Like, the communication
and the things that we talk about,

197
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,600
I haven't talked about with people
I've been with for years.

198
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,160
So it's just really,
really refreshing.

199
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:40,800
It's strong.

200
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,760
Yeah, I think we're just...
we just fit well.

201
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,160
I think it's obvious what we're both
going to say tonight.

202
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,640
(LAUGHS) Yeah. It's crazy.

203
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,600
I never thought I could know
and learn so much about someone

204
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:52,960
in such a short period of time.

205
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,040
It's a step-by-step thing to...
you know, falling for someone...

206
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,160
and let's just say
everything's going the right way.

207
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:04,080
A massive crush.

208
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:05,680
Yeah. (LAUGHS)

209
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:06,840
Alright, well, I'll...

210
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:08,360
Got lip gloss on
but I'll kiss you anyway.

211
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:09,520
I'll kiss you anyway.

212

NARRATOR: This year,
for the first time,

215
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,200
our couples went through
Revelations Week,

216
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,800
a brand-new and intense phase
of the experiment...

217
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:25,760
It was tough, don't you think?
Yeah.

218
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,040
It's always good to get below
the surface, dig a bit deeper.

219
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,120
..and for Rachel and Steven...

220
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,240
(LAUGHS) Fantastic.

221
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,320
..the tasks were transformative.

222
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:37,680
It was a good week.
RACHEL: Yeah.

223
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:39,880
That's exactly how I'm feeling.

224
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:41,800
Like, it's happiness.

225
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:46,840
An emotional auditions video task
helped the couple connect

226
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,320
over their shared history
with dating and body image.

227
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,440
I've been single
for at least ten to 12 years,

228
00:09:52,560 --> 00:09:55,000
but I've been dating on and off
since then...

229
00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:00,040
and I had to work my butt off
to turn myself into something

230
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,680
that I really didn't believe
that mattered.

231
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:04,640
You're great the way that you are.

232
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:06,840
You really are.

233

Oh, my... My god!
(BOTH LAUGH)

234
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,760
As hard as it is for me to open up
to anyone

235
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:14,120
this early into a relationship,

236
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:18,480
where we are stronger
and we have come closer,

237
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,880
it's going to be interesting to see
what the experts are going to say.

238
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,200
Like, I reckon it's going to be
like, "Tick."

239
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:26,560
"Tick."
"Off you go."

240
00:10:26,680 --> 00:10:27,600
Yeah.
(LAUGHS)

241

revel in their progress,

after yesterday

244
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:42,160
when her relationship with Filip
was called inauthentic by Brook.

245
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,960
How are you feeling about tonight?
Um... Interesting.

Yeah.
Yeah. Interesting.

248

connection with a person.

249

I told you what happened yesterday.
FILIP: Yeah.

257
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,600
Like, our authenticity
was questioned, you know,

258
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:15,360
and, like, um...

259
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,080
it's going to be interesting to see
if there's going to be, you know...

260
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:19,880
Yeah.

261
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:21,280
Yeah.

262

It's so interesting to see
what people have to say

263
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,200
because I just see, like,
from the perspective

264
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:27,960
that everyone judges
through their own lens

265
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,480
and how they are as people.

likes company...

invites people

I wouldn't even say it's nasty.

280
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:17,520

that I was, like, "Oh, my god,
I'm a horrible person."

So let's go back in time to
the wedding and go from there.

349
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:17,040
So, on the wedding day,
I was really hoping

350
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,200
for me to walk down the aisle,

351
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,400
someone to turn around

352
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:23,840
and me to be, like,
"That's my person."

353
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:28,240
But that isn't what I got.

354
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:29,760

And as I was walking down the aisle,

357
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:35,400
all my friends and family
turned around

358
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:39,880
and they were sort of, like,
"What are you doing here?"

359
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,880

that Luke wasn't there.

just turned into something

364
00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:59,200

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

372
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:30,480
I had left the rings, so we had to
turn the limo around and go back

00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,600
and get them and then head back in.

work on a friends' level first."

I really struggled.

378
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:50,760

whatever she could

with the sisterhood

But as soon as you were placed
next to Luke, a spark had gone out.

Like, there was disdain
that you had for him,

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

398

It's just that I thought
that Luke had feelings for me

and because I wasn't feeling
the same,

400

that usually when I've been
with somebody in the past,

411
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:29,120
it's because I've had that
instant connection with that person,

00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,200
So, as we know,
with the rules of this experiment,

520
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,120
that if one person says stay,
the other says leave,

521
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:46,440
then they stay for another week
to see if they can turn it around.

522
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:52,440
Now, Mel, how do you feel about this
and about his decision to stay?

523
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:53,640
He's not quitting.

524
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,080
I'm really, really shocked,
to be honest.

But, yeah, I definitely will take
your advice on board

00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,840
and I really want to prove to Luke
that I'm not a mean person...

528
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:10,600
and I'm not a bad person.

529
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:14,240
We know you're not a mean person
and you're not a bad person either.

530
00:27:14,360 --> 00:27:15,280
MEL: Mmm.

531
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:19,600
But what's important is
that you get curious,

532
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:20,800
you open your mind up,

533
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,600
'cause from what we're hearing,

534
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:27,160
he really didn't get a chance
from the word go.

00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:32,000
You've got a week now
where you can actually find out

536
00:27:32,120 --> 00:27:34,640
why he's so compatible

537
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:36,400

Just have fun,
enjoy each other's company

541
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:42,520
and get to know one another

542
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:46,360

of your relationship.

at the wedding,

before. It was pretty crazy.

Like, I felt this instant
connection.

off the bat and it just...

and I was, like...

and to challenge yourself

which is so promising.

Danny some real vulnerability.

him that you trust him to do that.

692

Maybe, Danny, it's your turn to
open up a little bit more this week

693
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,000
and to show her
some of your soft underbelly,

694
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:32,200

695
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:35,400

sort of create some cracks there

00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:36,640
in the veneers

697
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:38,920

a little bit more.

about the ceremony and everything,

in the dating world

and we were in such a good place
on the wedding and the honeymoon

864
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:37,800
that I was expecting
a little bit more from him

865

feeling with Rebecca?

a deeper connection

that could start to evolve.

so easy.

the audition tapes

1010

that he said in the video

That he hasn't found a connection
with girls

are hot and dumb.

Being with Brook now, the person
that I've been the last two weeks,

1044
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:52,920
it's a dramatic change.

1045
00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:56,520
Yeah, and that's the thing.

1046
00:51:56,640 --> 00:51:58,720
Like, I've seen
a different side to him

1047
00:51:58,840 --> 00:51:59,920
and that's why
I'm still sitting here.

1048
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:04,400
And I know that he's trying to be
a better person and change.

set us back,

that we can progress

a great connection together.

Stay or leave, Chris?

00:52:23,360 --> 00:52:25,880
I'm staying.
Yeah.

OK. What about you, Brook?

Stay or leave?

1058
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:32,360
No, I think that there's still
definitely more to explore,

Really positive.

Uh... At the wedding, like,
Jules, for me, owned the aisle.

1098

She just had this beaming smile.

1099

And in that moment, everything
sort of slowed down for me

and put me at ease

1101
00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:12,520
and I felt safe.

Yeah, it was just mind-blowing.

As you know, I'm a bisexual woman,

1105
00:54:20,160 --> 00:54:23,560
so I didn't know if there was going
to be a woman there, a man there,

1106
00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:25,280
what...you know,
who it was going to be.

eyes with Grayson, I felt at ease.

And this is something
that I really value about Grayson.

1112

You know, he doesn't shy away
from new things

1113
00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:47,440
and that is something
that I find really attractive.

1114

But, you know, taking it slow
is important to me,

1115
00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:57,520

building a foundation of friendship,

1116

for you too?

It absolutely is.

in that space.

shift into a romantic place

1123

and that takes both of us.

1124
00:55:18,640 --> 00:55:20,920
You know, Jules made it very clear
on our wedding night

1125
00:55:21,040 --> 00:55:23,120
and said, "Look, I'd like to
take this slow, very slow."

1126
00:55:23,240 --> 00:55:25,240
And I said, "Well, if that's
what it's going to take..."

1127
00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:27,480
I've got all the time in the world
to fall in love,

1128
00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:30,480
but I just want to build
some form of relationship

1129
00:55:30,600 --> 00:55:36,080
and create a space of safety
and trust for her to...to flourish.

1130
00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:38,640
And for me, that brings up
a few questions.

1131
00:55:43,560 --> 00:55:46,440
I love the idea of building
a strong foundation of friendship.

1132

I think that's super important.

that safety and trust.

you set the pace

and Grayson and then you said,
"Oh, well, OK."

you know, progressing and...

is there romance between you?

00:59:51,560 --> 00:59:55,120

that we should chat about more.

Yeah. Yeah.
Um...

1208
00:59:58,760 --> 01:00:03,040
At the end of the day, it's about
really how you each hear

1209
01:00:03,160 --> 01:00:04,440
what the other is saying

1210
01:00:04,560 --> 01:00:08,040
and also do your part to lean in,

1211
01:00:08,160 --> 01:00:11,080
not only put walls up
and keep the other away,

1212
01:00:11,200 --> 01:00:14,600
because the defensive part,
you have loads of experience with.

1213
01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:16,920
You've been doing that for years.

1214
01:00:17,040 --> 01:00:19,640
You wouldn't be here if that
hadn't been the case in the past.

1215
01:00:21,120 --> 01:00:22,880
I feel that. Yeah.

1216
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:24,240
Yeah, yeah.

1217
01:00:24,360 --> 01:00:28,160
I believe we are both having...
giving this a good nudge.

1218
01:00:28,280 --> 01:00:29,960
Um...
MEL: Oh, and we can see that.

1219
01:00:30,080 --> 01:00:31,800
And I guess that's why we're,
you know,

1220
01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:33,240
gently challenging you here,

1221
01:00:33,360 --> 01:00:35,720
because there's
so much potential here.

1222
01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:40,880
So, with that said,
we're going to go to the decision

1223
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:43,120
and we're going to go to you, Julia.

1224
01:00:43,240 --> 01:00:47,000
Um, well, there's so much here
that I want to continue to explore,

1225
01:00:47,120 --> 01:00:49,200
so it's a stay.

1226
01:00:49,320 --> 01:00:50,960
Yeah. (LAUGHS)
Whoo-hoo.

1227
01:00:52,400 --> 01:00:53,800
Wonderful.

1228

And to you, Grayson.
Yeah.

1229
01:00:55,400 --> 01:00:57,760
Um, look, I have had so much fun

1230
01:00:57,880 --> 01:00:59,560
and I want to give this
everything I've got.

1231
01:00:59,680 --> 01:01:03,320

I don't know how you guys did it.

You guys are wizards, but, like,
you guys nailed everything.

Ah.

1255

When I saw her walking
down the aisle,

1256

straight away, I was like,
"You nailed the look.

when we did our vows is she...

she said
she wasn't going to marry me

1261
01:02:22,280 --> 01:02:25,160

and proposed.

showed me that she's direct,

(MUSIC SLOWS AWKWARDLY)

1543
01:16:43,640 --> 01:16:44,760
I need to learn a few things.

1544
01:16:44,880 --> 01:16:45,760
Hi, handsome.

1545
01:16:45,880 --> 01:16:48,560
Intimacy week turns up the heat.

1546
01:16:48,680 --> 01:16:49,440
That's hot.

1547
01:16:50,280 --> 01:16:51,600
Then, Wednesday...

1548
01:16:51,720 --> 01:16:52,440
(SCREAMS)

1549
01:16:52,560 --> 01:16:54,520
..the most explosive dinner party...

1550
01:16:54,640 --> 01:16:56,000
You're not coming for my husband!

1551
01:16:56,120 --> 01:16:57,360
..ever.

1552
01:16:57,480 --> 01:16:58,320
BEC: No!

1553
01:16:58,440 --> 01:17:02,160
I don't want to be sitting
at a table with that going on.
