Really?
..you were very quiet.

172
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,040
And I know there was a lot going on.

173
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,120
It was very hard to get a word in,
to be honest.

174
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,520
Mmm. You're telling me. Certainly
with Bec barking every two seconds.

175
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,440
It was a bit surprising to hear

176
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,240
that Tyson felt
that I didn't have his back.

177
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:20,040
I mean... But I just think
that speaks volumes

178
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,080
to how him and I handle things.

179
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,200
I'm not gonna stand up and back you
if I don't agree with your opinion

180
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:26,840
or your behaviour.
Mmm.

181
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,560
But you did agree with the majority
of what I had to say, didn't you?

182
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,680
Yeah, and I feel like I spoke
about that as well.

183
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,720
I mean, you were quiet.

184
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,200
I'm not confrontational like that.
Mmm.

185
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:37,640
Just with me.

186
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:41,000
Yeah, it seems that way.
Mmm.

187
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,680
I think you added in a little
smart-arse comment there,

188
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:46,800
saying, "Oh, he doesn't know
what he wants in a woman."

189
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:48,120
You said something
along those lines.

190
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:49,800
Well, you don't.
Well, I do.

191
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:51,680
I know exactly what I want, Steph,

192
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,880
and you shouldn't say that
you know what I want

193
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,240
when, you know,
you barely even know me.

194
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,880
You say what you want.
You've been given that.

195
00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,280
Mm-hm.
But that's not what you want.

196
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,160
Well, I haven't been given that,
though.

197
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,400
I asked for someone
that wasn't masculine.

198
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:07,400
You do bring a lot of masculinity
to this relationship.

199
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:08,600
No, I don't!

200
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,600
I'm, like,
the most feminine person ever.

201
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,000
I feel like you do.
I'm just telling you how I feel.

202
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,880
I just have the traits
of an independent, smart,

203
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,440
career-driven, focused woman.

204
00:09:18,560 --> 00:09:20,000
Yeah, but you can still have that...

205
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:21,520
(MOCKINGLY)
But that's masculine energy!

206
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:24,240
The way you perceive things

207
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,400
and the way you always, like,
try to challenge me,

208
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,440
it just comes across
in a masculine way.

209
00:09:28,560 --> 00:09:30,960
I challenge you on your behaviour
because I think that's healthy.

210
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:32,320
Yeah, but it's...

211
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,240
It's not always Tyson's way
and Tyson's world...

212
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:35,520
But the thing is, though...
..OK?

213
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,280
..you've always... You're always
trying to have control.

214
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,520
Like, you have these little smart
arse remarks to say as well but...

215
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,680
And you give them back to me!
It comes across so rude.

216
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,600
It comes across so arrogant.
I think YOU'RE rude.

Mmm. OK.

I don't want to kiss him,
I don't want to cuddle him,

for him.

my feelings will develop."

in the experiment

248
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:24,680
as one bride didn't wait
till the commitment ceremony

249

and I have really sort of navigated

where we're both at
in this connection.

252
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:40,200

shared with him, you know, a letter

that I take lightly, you know,

betraying myself

if I wasn't listening to
what my body and my heart

260
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,040
and my mind is telling me

261
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:09,760

just disconnected and confused.

269
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,000
..Julia has kept Grayson
at arm's length,

270
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,160

off the back
of a difficult Intimacy Week.

272
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,360

the emotional depth

273
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:41,200

free-flowing energy

274
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,120

Julia drew her line in the sand...

"That burning desire
doesn't seem to be growing."

a lot of accusations
were thrown around

344
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,880
some couples are in crisis.

of the criteria that he described.

But I'm willing to continue
to try and work with that,

why we've been matched.

why you're also single as well

Do you know, the irony
to all of this, Tyson,

550
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:24,000
is that while you're not
a particularly easy person to match,

551

we have found someone who is
highly compatible with you.

You're both calm, sensible,
disciplined, ambitious,

553

you have strong family values,

554
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,840

who looks after herself.

they've got a lot of catching up.

563
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:15,600
The question is,
have you still got that curiosity?

564
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,280
I just... I just don't feel
that connection there, John.

to get curious, John.

in a relationship ever

I don't want to get hurt.

570
00:27:35,120 --> 00:27:36,880
It's easy to get be independent
and live in my comfort zone

571
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:38,440
and just live my good life.

wanting to be curious,

you know,

"There is good in Steph that
I want to find out more about."

Well, that's the first time
I've heard it.

579

You said something, Steph, that was
very important just then.

and scared.

How did that land for you, Tyson?

582
00:28:07,120 --> 00:28:09,760
Well, to hear that she's frightened
and scared,

583
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:13,520
it does make me feel like
a bit of a failure, to an extent.

584
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:17,400
But I want the best for Steph

585
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,640
and I don't want to make her feel
a certain way.

586
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:20,680

over this past week.

Ultimately, through this
conversation, what you can learn is,

589
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:32,160
rather than being combative, rather
than trying to win or be right,

when you're vulnerable.

about one another,

a highly compatible couple

849
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:15,160
there's lies that come out
of Gia's mouth

850
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:17,240
and that's my issue,

851
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:18,800
but I never intended for you

852
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:21,160
to have anything come towards you
at that dinner party last night.

853
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:23,600
If the phone wasn't gotten,
it never would've happened.

854

and had a nice night.

DAVID: I think you both caused this.

856
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:32,320
I hate coming to a dinner party
and my wife feeling unsettled.

857
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:38,080
I hate seeing her sad and I have to
go home and pick up the pieces

858
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:41,160

can't take accountability

Alright.

862
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:50,920
What you do need to think about, Bec
is why you're doing it,

863
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:54,400
because you haven't answered that
question and that's an important one

864
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:56,320
That's what you need to sit on.

865
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:58,760
But for you, Gia,
you've got to also realise

866
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:02,160
that when you brought up the receipt
to have a crack at Bec,

867
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:04,520
it dragged Alissa into it.

868
00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:09,960
And again, she's now walking away
from a dinner party shattered

869
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:13,640
because the people in this experimen
are talking behind her back

870
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:19,000
and essentially throwing grenades
into her relationship.

871
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:22,880
And there is a pattern here that you
Bec, and Gia need to be aware of,

872
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:26,040
which is when you go into
a dinner party

873
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:28,000
and you come out all guns blazing

874
00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:31,080
and you scorch earth anyone
that comes in your way,

875
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:35,800
you then roll up at the commitment
ceremonies and apologise...

876
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:38,760
but you're still doing
the same thing.

877
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:45,960
Well, look, there's no doubt that
you two have had a lot to face

878
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:49,240
and to overcome this week,

879
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:53,120
but what we see in front of us
is a couple that is very strong,

880
00:42:53,240 --> 00:42:56,400
despite how much noise there is
around your relationship.

881
00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:58,400
So, well done.

let's go to the decision.

JULIA: Hi. How are you?

910
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:19,440
Last week, when we saw you
on this couch,

911
00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:20,800
you really seemed to have
turned a corner.

912
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:24,280
So, frankly, we are sitting here

913
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:27,640
wondering what has happened
to derail that.

914
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:33,640
Well, after we saw you guys
last time...

915
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:37,680
I really took on, you know,
your advice

916
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:40,400
of, you know, kissing leads to
more kissing

917
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:43,640
and so, Grayson and I kissed again.

918
00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:47,960
But unfortunately, nothing really
kind of unfurled after that.

919
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:50,320
I then... I did, like,
a pulse check.

920
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:54,880
I felt like we were sort of talking
about this burning desire.

921
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:57,160
Is there a burning desire here?

922
00:44:57,280 --> 00:45:03,880
So I realised I didn't think that
the romantic side of this connection

923
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:06,360
was really flourishing

924
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:11,440
and so, I wrote Grayson a letter...

925
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:16,400
letting him know
that I didn't feel like

926
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:21,280
this was sort of
that soul connection

927
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:24,000
that I came into this experiment for

928
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:28,600
and sort of went separate ways.

929
00:45:28,720 --> 00:45:32,360
I moved into a different apartment
after that.

00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:33,360

931

Grayson, hearing that?

she's not emotionally present

or four days after we moved in

mixed messages with Gray.

I'm not fully across.

comfortable or not

No.

on a journey like this,

1016

I would have been very clear.

1017
00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:48,080

a woman, I would've just said that.

different with a different human

"Am I ever gonna find my person?
Am I ever gonna find love?"

to be or where to feel

what pace to travel at

because this is
such a new experience for me,

1113
00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:23,400
so I wasn't really sure
in the beginning.

1114

do I not? Like, what's going on?"

00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:17,400
What Rachel did for me
was absolutely fantastic, I thought.

1181
00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:19,360
The thought of fishing
and all that sort of stuff

1182
00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:21,440
and thinking about that,
'cause it's a bit...

1183
00:57:21,560 --> 00:57:23,040
It's fishing, you know.
It's not everyone's cup of tea.

00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:28,800
You know, and it really did make me
smile, so...I wrote stay.

Well done.

stay or leave?

1188
00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:39,480
I said stay.

really deep shit

00:58:29,240 --> 00:58:31,320
that even only her family knows

1208
00:58:31,440 --> 00:58:34,200

really close together, so...

but, yeah, you guys know...

your one month...

I went a bit crazy.

tried not to do that last night.

brought up a few times...

we weren't gonna attack

Like, I'm personally done with that.

1229
00:59:22,520 --> 00:59:24,840
I just showed the receipts because,
like, part of me felt attacked

1230
00:59:24,960 --> 00:59:27,160
and I was hearing
"You have no friends here"

1231

Well, it came from your mouth.
It came from your mouth, Gia.

something with Danny and I said,

Don't say it."

with that kind of stuff anymore.

last week.

does that have on you, Scott,

1268
01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:57,080
when you see Gia in that state,
in that situation?

1269
01:00:58,400 --> 01:01:01,040
There's way too many positives
in our relationship

1270
01:01:01,160 --> 01:01:02,880
for me to even think about that,
so it's, like...

1271
01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:06,200
And Gia only defends herself
when in need.

1272
01:01:06,320 --> 01:01:09,680
Like, she's not just trying to
deliver something for no reason.

1273

Mmm.
It's just a defence.

1274
01:01:12,040 --> 01:01:14,720
I know Gia so well now and how
she approaches an argument,

1275
01:01:14,840 --> 01:01:15,800
how she delivers things.

1276
01:01:15,920 --> 01:01:18,120
It's already happened
in the past dinner parties

1277
01:01:18,240 --> 01:01:22,120
and I don't judge her
any different, so...yeah.

1278
01:01:22,240 --> 01:01:23,560
And also, like, he agrees.

1279
01:01:23,680 --> 01:01:26,320
I mean, he backed me up last night,

1280
01:01:26,440 --> 01:01:30,080
which that, like, you know, I asked
for this, like, the whole time,

1281
01:01:30,200 --> 01:01:31,600
to be backed up by a man.

1282
01:01:31,720 --> 01:01:33,080
I've never had that
in a relationship, ever.

1283

uncharted waters for you.

as going from strength to strength?

how do you feel about her?

I'm falling for her, but love -
I won't say it till I truly mean it.

1291
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:55,560
But I'm falling in that direction.

1292

100%.

to say I love somebody.

I don't think it's love yet,
but we're...

1297
01:02:07,920 --> 01:02:11,240
We don't want to go too crazy, yeah.
Like, we just got the tattoos.

were a bit out-there.

I kind of came to the conclusion...

1345
01:04:08,960 --> 01:04:12,040
"OK, maybe the attraction's
just not there for me."

the more I get to know Joel,

1347
01:04:18,480 --> 01:04:21,360
the more I'll probably
gain attraction to him, for sure.

1352

For me, I'm just more naturally,
I think, warm and affectionate.

I think I'm very touchy-feely,

1354

Like, so that's just my nature.

in my whole life,

being misunderstood

1375
01:05:37,520 --> 01:05:39,120
and then people get to know me,

1376
01:05:39,240 --> 01:05:41,880
and, like, "Hey, he's actually
alright, you know.

1377
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:45,240
"There's some depth to him.
He's not a total moron."

1379
01:05:49,840 --> 01:05:51,640
is how everyone else
would kind of view him,

1380
01:05:51,760 --> 01:05:53,080

that softer side.

in the relationship.
