Wayne and Ksenia's communication breakdown... We are two different people, and I'm confused a lot of the time. ...saw them as the first couple. I choose... ...to depart the experiment. And Ottie and Gareth... I definitely don't want children, and Gareth leans towards wanting them. ...weren't far behind. The shitty thing about this is that he's not the nice boy he makes out. Sam cooled it with Tayler. I think we should end this relationship today. But then they stunned everyone... Hello. How are you? Good! How are you? (KISSES) ...with a united arrival at the final dinner party. Aww! Don't push it. Calm down; calm down. Monique and Fraser's on-again, off-again relationship... I'm going to be taking a leap of faith here and choose to continue to explore a relationship with you. That was a real emotional roller-coaster, Fraser Lee. ...came to a sudden and abrupt end. So... What? we've decided to end what's there. But the biggest shock of all... When you begged me to stay and give you time out with family and friends. ...came with David's parting words to Julia. You've not used that time to better yourself or our situation. When times got tough, you ran and confided in others. I was hoping to find the woman of my dreams,... and that's not you, Julia. Tonight ` Why didn't you like me? Why I didn't like you? I do feel that I walked away from it too quick. Tears,... So horrible. What? He's (BLEEP)ing... tantrums,... Excuse me, Ottie, can you please shut the (BLEEP) up? ...and bombshells. I begged you to stay. Yeah, well you did. That is so uncool and how dare you say that? (BLEEP) you. I'm done. As each couple gets one last chance... I wasn't actually listening. Right. It's the story of my life. ...to speak their minds. Sexist attitude. That was a question. It wasn't a` Why is that a question? And the knives come out. Are you for real? Yeah, you did. You went to go` Julia, don't lie. ...and talk. I'm not lying! You were lying.

(TENSE MUSIC) It's the night of our couples' final dinner party, and already the temperatures are rising. And even though we had each other's back. Yeah. OK? That's the reason, Julia, why I'd said why I said. You should've been humble and, like, and just accepted my decision, instead of like` No, it's not about... No. That's exactly what you did. You see it as, like, a, um... because... A stab, yeah. That's what it was. What? A stab. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. It was like you being (BLEEP) you, Julia. (WHISTLES) Guys, should we go and sit down for some food. There's a different sort of energy here tonight. I feel like people are actually just being more themselves. And, I feel like they've got permission, cos it's, like, the end of the race. It's the end of the experiment, and they've got nothing to lose now. They're all going home tomorrow, or whenever they go home, two days. Hold on, but you do need to do a prayer for tonight. Yes. Good at the prayer. Right, OK, guys. Tayler's asked for a prayer. Can we all hold hands? Just doing grace. We're doing grace. We're doing grace. OK, even though each of us comes here from different backgrounds, different religions slash no religions, thank you to a higher power, in which case, whoever you believe in to be. Thank you for bringing us all here. We are 12 unique individuals with very special needs, Ottie's included in that. (LAUGHS) And, you know what? Someone cut my food. Every single one of us is here and we get along. And you know, that's a bloody amazing, rare (BLEEP)ing thing. Do you know how germy hands are? Excuse me, Ottie, can you please shut the (BLEEP) up? (LAUGHS) All right. (BLEEP) Sit back down, little boy. Did you see just what happened with Gareth and Ottie? Yeah. I think we've seen that building up through the evening. He entered into this delivering a message. I think Gareth is waiting for that opportunity in the evening. Yeah. Don't you? Yeah. Nice handling... Gareth's comment. Shut the (BLEEP) up, eh? Um, I will knock you the (BLEEP) out. (BLEEP)ing little bitch. If I met Gareth in the real world and he used that kind of line on me, I would've walked away a long time ago. Who the (BLEEP) did you say that to? Nah. Gareth? Tell me to shut the (BLEEP) up. Did he tell you to shut the (BLEEP) up? Yeah, before. I was, like, sit back down. Trying very hard to be polite, nice little wifey. I think it comes from an insecure place and where he needs to talk himself up. Small child. Pull his ponytail in a minute. (LAUGHS) Far out. Majorly. (LAUGHS) I'm gonna go sit next to (BLEEP) Fraser for a bit. I love you but I'm sick of you. (LAUGHS) I agree. I feel like he was joking, but I know, I'm not excusing his behaviour, but I think` He's not been joking. The whole time, he's done that. I don't think that a dinner party with all the people around is the best place for people to sort out their differences. Ksenia, you were asking me what to turns me off about women. Probably the one thing that turns me off about women is who works at an automotive company but doesn't drive. Oh, man. It's this all the time. I didn't hear what he said. What did he say? To be honest, nothing turns me off about women. What about women that get into business? Really? It got awkward real quick. Tonight has cemented in my mind the person I walked away from. Um, that I didn't get it wrong. Go for it. Go for it. No, what? Like, why's... what? Cos I'd honestly like to, um, hear what you have to say. No, let's hear what you have to say. No, no, no, no, no. Go for it. You've obviously got something to say, so I would love to (BLEEP)ing hear it. Mate, this is too awkward. No, no, no, no, no. (BLEEP) up. I would like to hear this. I don't know if she thinks I'm immature. She, you know, probably thinks that I've spoken out of turn when I shouldn't have, but, you know, (BLEEP) her. That's me. If people don't like me` I've said that from the very start, if people don't like me, I don't give a (BLEEP). Like, this is who I am. If you don't like it, there's (BLEEP)ing doors everywhere. Go walk. Like, it really doesn't bother me. Stop saying (BLEEP) up and telling people to shut up. It's rude. Stop it. It's rude. I do agree with that. You told me to (BLEEP) up before. Please don't speak to me like that. You've obviously got something to say, though. Shh. Please don't speak to me like that. You've just told me to 'shh,' so you've obviously got something to say. Not to you. Not to me? No. Cos I was told to (BLEEP) up, so maybe I should sit back down like a little lady and get my mouth shut. Yeah. No. That's not OK. I do agree. To be told to (BLEEP) up. Who enjoyed their dessert? Yuki, did you enjoy your dessert? It was lovely. Second time you've made everyone go quiet. It's all right. It's all right. Second time you've made everyone go quiet. It's all right. It's all right. I think he was issuing an invitation to her to join in a fight with her, wasn't he? Yeah. He was waiting for her to pour the petrol on to that. And Ottie's completely capable of that, but she decided, 'I'm not gonna go into that game.' And it would have played out for him if Ottie'd have in come with this grand response and really dramatic effing and blinding. But she didn't. It really highlights the ridiculousness of what he was trying to do. Sorry, I had to intervene, cos you were, like` ...about to stab someone with a fork? JULIA: No. (CHUCKLES) (LAUGHS) No, just, um... No, I would never. Without being rude, it's just, kind of, poking the bear. Just over it. Understandable. But, just... I feel like I don't even have a reason to be polite at this stage. Now he's just trying to wind me up, because I have to be in the same room as him so. If I need to say it, I'll say it to Gareth. Yeah, well... If I'm allowed to speak. (LAUGHS) (LAUGHS) Stop poking the bear. Stop (BLEEP)ing poking the bear, bitch. Poking a kitten, not a bear. I will own him all day, in and out. I know. And I'm the same with Dave, but I'm not gonna sit here and be, like, 'Aaah.' I'm gonna say my piece. Who tells somebody to shut the (BLEEP) up? It's part of his vocabulary. Like, he doesn't actually mean it, I think. No. You know, he's just, like, 'Shut the (BLEEP) up.' He needs to change his attitude completely, towards women for starters ` take a look at himself, maybe not be so arrogant. Did you miss me? Yeah. I actually really missed you, like, it was ridiculous. So, Julia and David. Good ` at last. I missed you but I was also angry at you. Yeah. I totally get that, and you're allowed to be. I know that you didn't mean to hurt me, but you should've thought about it. And thought, 'Hey, actually, how is Julia gonna feel from this?' Like... it's one thing to be honest, but you've actually got to think of the other person and go, 'Well, how is that gonna make them feel?' Cos it's the whole time, that's what I take from you. Well, hopefully it makes you grow. Yeah. You basically said that I gave it no effort, which is wrong, because I did. And I think deep down you know that I did, but for you, it wasn't good enough. I'm different to you. I'm real `, as you say ` really independent, too independent and blah, blah, blah. If you're an independent person, OK. I can be in a relationship and still be independent. (SIGHS) Yeah. But apparently you've told me that being in a relationship and being independent, it doesn't work. And that I'm... in your message that you sent me. Well, that's cos you called me co-dependent. Which you kind of are, Even your ex-girlfriend said that. I'm not. If you wanna believe that, then that's cool. Just saying. But the thing is, at the end of the day, I came in here to get to know you. It's fine. And we only have a certain amount of time. We had plenty of time. When you're not there, I can't` Ah... He can't admit defeat, and it's not very humble, it's kind of` I'm just` I'm disappointed in him. And it really reassures me the reasons why I'm... I'm just like, 'Really?!' Oh my God. I'm really pissed off about it, to be honest. I would never have done that to you. You've gotta be true to yourself. And I have been incredibly true to myself this whole time. 100%. 100% does not mean spending 80% of your time, you know, with other people in this. If you're 100% committed to doing this, then you are doing it with that person. We talked and talked and talked. We communicated more than I ever have in my life. I'm sorry that it wasn't up to your standard, but that's where you and I are different. I don't want to be attached to someone. It's just not who I am. Well, um, it's a marriage, when you're attached in a relationship. No. No! I disagree so strongly. He's not listening at all, and (SIGHS) it's just doing my head in, cos I feel like there's gonna be no closure here. I feel like you're resenting me/punishing me for being independent. Whereas you are the opposite of me. I've had your back the whole time. You haven't. And the one time I didn't, you` The most important time. The most important time of the whole experiment, you (BLEEP)ed me over, completely, 100%. I mean... I think if you wanna think that- That's exactly what happened, so... (OVERLAPPING CONVERSATIONS) Let's just leave it, cos I'm getting worked up, and I don't wanna be angry, so... let's just leave it. I'm gonna go sit over with Ottie. (DRAMATIC MUSIC) Something needs to happen, because it's just not OK. I don't care if it takes a screaming match, which I hope it doesn't, but there's no way I'm gonna walk out of this and allow him to sit there and put me down. (DRAMATIC MUSIC INTENSIFIES) (BLEEP). Why didn't you like me? Why I didn't like you? Mm. Why I didn't like you? Yeah. (CHUCKLES) Why do you think I didn't like you? I don't know. That's why I'm asking you. I... I didn't didn't like you. (LAUGHS) You probably should have said something. Because I felt that I... struggled through the relationship trying to make it work. To be honest, the relationship is done and dusted. Unfortunately, I did put my heart on the line, and I dropped all my barriers and I came with no reservations because I thought I was gonna get my happy ever after. So, what are you gonna do now, Ksenia? Do you think you'll look for another boyfriend? WAYNE: You're very much welcome to find someone who suits you. Obviously not me. I've never finished a relationship by not caring about someone. I've always wondered, for the rest of my life, how they are and how they are getting on. If she wants to cull me and that's the end of it, that's totally up to her. To be honest, like, through this whole process, uh, I have learnt a lot from Ksenia. What did you learn? Patience. (CHUCKLES) Do you think that's the right thing you've learned? Patience? It's always good to learn anything. What did you learn, Ksenia. Your turn. No, hang on. I think patience is a big one. What I wanted in a relationship was different to what I probably needed, so... I do believe he dug in deep. I think he did. I think he tolerated quite a lot. She didn't make it easy for him. Oh, did she not! We're also very different. I'm still quite Russian. Of course. It's your culture. So, yeah, it's different cultures. You guys gave it the best try that you could. Yeah. Yes, we did. (GENTLE PIANO MUSIC) That's certainly gonna hurt. Yeah. Because he's such` Especially Wayne, he's an emotional... He's an emotional man. He is, actually. He is, he is. Nah, mate, you don't have to talk about it. So, I'm gonna tell you a joke instead and improve your disposition. So I` So I` Do a joke and I get over it, man. I've got a very good joke for you. My decision with Ksenia, was pretty recognizable from the first week. I'd left relationships previous to this too early. There's one massive one, when I lived in Australia, and I do feel that I walked away from it too quick. Yeah. You'll be all right, mate. (CHUCKLES WRYLY) Oh, good. I do look back in hindsight and do think that probably was my one. I just wanted to make sure I didn't do this one wrong. I actually thought... ...that it could be...? Yeah. There's so many amazing positives that have come out of it, no matter what. And I don't wanna take it off Dan and Yuki, like, cos I just sit there next to them just like, '(BLEEP).' Being like... Is it, like, envy? That's what I wanted. Yeah. So I'm gonna get my happy ever after. I'm gonna move on, have kids and get married, and job's done. (EMOTIVE CLASSICAL MUSIC) You just don't get it. You don't. And you're not seeing it from my point of view. You've admitted to me that you... what you said in the vows you... Stand by 100%. What?! Oh, OK, now you stand by them 100%. Well, I do. OK, great. That's awesome (!) How dare you say what you did? How dare you? I sat there for (BLEEP) the whole experiment and had your back 100%. Actually, most of the time I felt guilty, and all I thought about and cared about was you. But why would you have my back? And then` Yeah. You know what? I'm looking back now and like, 'Why?' I mean, OK, so let's just` And then, up until that very moment, you (BLEEP) me. You get a knife and you stab me in the back with those vows. They were not OK. That was not OK. I don't care if you think I didn't give it 100%; I did. I gave it 100%. And that's all that matters. And quite frankly, time shouldn't come into it. OK. You could sit here and disagree, but I don't... You know,... Well, that's the problem, though` ..I think it's not okay to sit there and put me down about it. Who's putting you down? And then have a go about my independence. Excuse me. Hang on,... Oh my God. Who's putting you down? You! How did I put you down? That's what you did for the second half of the vows. What, by being honest? It wasn't honest. They weren't personally putting you down. Yeah, it wasn't honest. That's fine. Like... Oh, OK. OK, so... Why does he keep hitting his head up against a brick wall? I think he truly still cares for her. I just feel like you've painted the wrong picture, and it's not OK. Like, I have sat there and I gave it 100%. I did not lead you on. To sit there and be like 'Oh, you begged me to stay'` You did. At the table. That is absolute bullshit. Well, you sat at the breakfast table. What else did I say? Um, you told me` ...that I was absolutely emotionally exhausted and that I needed` We were about to get on a plane to Christchurch. Yes, you did. Yes. And you said to me, after I said, 'I am going to leave the experiment,' that clairvoyant` You never said that. Yes, I did. You never said that. No. Sorry, Julia, don't lie to me. Do not lie to me at all. Right. OK? I wonder if it's just an absolute perseverance in the hope that she will hear him. Because I believe that he believes that when she hears him, she'll get it, and it'll be OK. Who did you have to see? How emotionally exhausted was I? Um, you were pretty` I just can't even deal with it. ...you were pretty upset. We're not gonna agree on this. But you actually have to stop and take a breath and listen, don't you? Yeah. And what do you do? You sit there and you say that I begged you to stay. Yeah, well, you did. That is so uncool, and how dare you say that? OK, well` And` Do you wanna be honest about why? Because I was emotionally exhausted. We had two days to sit there and actually think about it and then come back to the vows, and you just... Mm-hm. Yeah, and you convinced me that those days were going to be taken up with you tackling the very issue of the root cause of our problem. Yeah. And that's what I did. Right, okay. So how do you know? Cos you weren't there at Christchurch. No, that's right. So you're just assuming that I`? Cos you missed a vital, important appointment. We've already talked about it. And did I not send you the text messages saying I needed to try to reschedule it? Yeah. So how dare you say that? Well, what do you mean 'how dare I'? Like, you're painting me in a wrong light, and that's not okay. I gave... Oh, I just... We just... You just really make me angry now. Like, that's how I see you. I know. And that's really... I feel so sad about that, because I actually wanted us to be friends. Yeah, well, I` But I'm just... You just make me furious now. Yeah. OK. And I don't know if I'm gonna be able to let it go. Well, I think, Julia` Cos I can't. Just... Yeah, Julia, I think you're getting upset,... Oh, for (BLEEP) sake. ...and not getting your way. (BLEEP) you. (SCOFFS) Please. Oh my God, are you serious? I'm done. Serious. (DISCORDANT MUSIC) You just make me furious now. Yeah. OK. And I don't know if I'm gonna be able to let it go. Well, I think, Julia` Cos I can't. Just... Yeah, Julia, I think you're getting upset,... Oh, for (BLEEP) sake. ...and not getting your way. (BLEEP) you. (SCOFFS) Please. Oh my God, are you serious? I'm done. Serious. (DISCORDANT MUSIC) Dave-o. No. KSENIA: What happened? I'll go see Julia; you go see Dave. You go see Dave, I'll see Julia. Yeah. I just wanna punch him in the face, literally. He's just so horrible. What? He's... (BLEEP) He's just not getting it, and it's doing my head in. What's wrong? (SIGHS) What's wrong? I just can't do this any more. No, don't` don't move. He's just not getting it. What's he not`? I've just been telling him, like, it's not okay to sit there and put me down for my independence. It's not OK to... I know that he's hurting, and I get that. But we all we went into this experiment with that... We were gonna be, you know` The risk. ...there was a massive chance we were going to be rejected. And he's just not accepting it. Yeah. 100%. That is so not OK. I think, um,... (BLEEP), I don't even know. I think you got pushed a little bit, to the point where you were going, 'What do I do now?' And that's why you walked. And I think you need to be able to have your own say. Well, he's right about it. It's interesting that Gareth's delivering this message. I know, but he's right about that. We tried to talk it out, though. But you also gotta realise that when it gets to a certain point, that there's nothing to work out. Say how you feel, don't let her talk over the top of you. Well, I think that's what happened tonight. You know, we get to the point where all she can remember is the vows, and it just fires her up so much. Yeah. And then to see her cry, that just breaks my (BLEEP)ing heart. Oh my goodness. He does care. He genuinely cares about her still. He sat there for the second half of the vows and basically said that I didn't give it 100%, and when I went to Christchurch I didn't take enough time to think about whether I should continue with the relationship outside the experiment. And I was like, 'Because I was with my friends, my mum and I made that decision.' I just felt` I couldn't. I was emotionally gone. You don't have to explain yourself. No, you don't. You don't have to explain yourself. Sitting here, it's like, f... It's just more... I think Dave's hurting. Yeah, but he's being an arsehole about it. You know, the personal attacks are the death of any form of reasonable discussion, aren't they? As soon as you get personal, you name-call, you drag up the past, that's communication down the toilet. Yeah. Don't worry about it. I am worried about it because painting me to be someone I'm not, and it's (BLEEP) uncool. No. No, he's not. This is your chance now to be true to yourself now, as you are now. I have been. Yeah, I know you have, but it's your chance now. She's so angry about, um, the vows that she's just` she can't see it from my point of view. And I understand that, you know... Like, she says it broke her heart. But at the end of the day, I never actually had it and she never had mine, so... Yeah and that's where you have to go, 'Oh, it's not gonna work out.' You know, we talk about 'we give 100%'. Yeah. I mean, (BLEEP) hell, I've seriously... (EXHALES) man, like, emotionally, physically worked my ass off to get to know a stranger. Yeah. And the crux for me has been that whole 'actions speak louder than words'. It was just... The effort just wasn't there. Yeah, well, I've tried, and he (BLEEP)ing walks away. Of course, he does, because he can't handle it. Cos I said, '(BLEEP) you'. That was my... And that wasn't OK. Cos I'd never speak to anyone like that, but I was so angry. Don't worry about it. God, I'm really humiliated that I said that. No one can hate you for not liking Dave, because we're talking about emotions, and they're either there or they're not. And the thing is you would have walked away from Dave on day three? Two? Probably day one ` that night when you saw me. Yep. And maybe he was` But I was like, it'll come. You were like, it'll come. Yeah, or` Yeah. That was day one. I wasn't gonna give up on him. Like, I made that pact. I don't know why I was crying. (BLEEP), I'm embarrassed I cried. No, because you (BLEEP)ing don't` Have you seen how many times I've cried on TV? (BLEEP) (LAUGHS) (INTENSE MUSIC) I can understand why she's hurt, but I am a little bit dubious as to the reasons why she's hurt. I'm pretty sure she's not heartbroken because she's in love with me or anything like that. I think it's more, um, maybe trying to save face... (LAUGHS) ...from what, potentially, could be seen. And that part, I really can't help. I'm gonna go have a cigarette, guys. Yep. Can I come and have a ciggie? Can you? No, I want a ciggie. Oh, good. At the end of the day, it's not my fault that I don't like him. I wanted to like him, and I really, really tried, um, but, yeah. But he still, to this day, does not give up on it. It's just like banging my head against a wall. And the more I think about it, the more I'm like, 'Well, maybe we just have to agree to disagree.' (MAJESTIC MUSIC) After two weeks apart and last night's emotional dinner party, today our couples are meeting the experts for one final time. Gidday, guys. Hi. SARCASTICALLY: How dare you? (LAUGHS) Let me in. Sitting, Ottie? Oh, all right. Good evening. Hi. Kia ora. Kia ora. Great to see you all this afternoon. Hopefully, you're all feeling nice and refreshed after the reunion last night. That would be the operative word, but, yeah,... A little bit dusty. (OTTIE AND MONIQUE LAUGH) (DRAMATIC MUSIC) What we really need from you today is what you've brought before, but it's really important that this is taken as your opportunity just to leave everything here and to be open and honest in terms of how you're feeling about your relationship and also reflecting on this experience and how it's been for you. So please, please, please, take this time. It's also an opportunity for us to perhaps pose some questions that I'm sure New Zealanders watching this at home will have for you. So can we start off with... Dan and Yuki? Can I invite you guys to the couch? (ALL CLAP) Hello, you two. Great to see that you're still together. Yeah, thanks, yeah. It's been really good, yeah. Stoked. You've made it look so easy. I know we said this last time. I know. But you've gotta give us a little bit of dirt. (BOTH LAUGH) Something's gotta have gone down. I don't know. Well, what have I done that's annoyed you? I mean, like, every relationship has a little bit of hiccups, you know, like a little bit of something. But it wasn't really a big deal for me, you know? It's just like, uh, he didn't flush the toilet or something like that. But it just doesn't really` It's not a big deal. I'd suggest an element that was quite consistent between the two of you was your positivity. If you come into it with the element of positivity that you guys really have, you can navigate that journey. Exactly. It's a lot easier. If you see the bad negativity, it's just horrible, and it's not what we want. We're not negative people. We're here to find the right one. And when I saw her yesterday for, like, the first time in couple weeks, and it was just seeing her smile. Those sorts of things, that was like, 'Oh, yeah, there's Yuki. That's my wife.' She's just cool and, like, just exciting to be around her and, like, she makes me happy, so that's awesome. Aw. Do you think you did anything different? Anything special? I don't know, we, like` we didn't` I didn't sign up for a game plan when I signed up. Like I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna do that. It was just sort of like I'm here to find her; I'm here to find the one. Yeah. So it was just` I don't think I would change anything. No, no, absolutely. It was just... Yeah, no. Yeah. So a bit of a personal question here ` have you got to the 'I love you' stage yet? No. No. No. We just` No. No. We, uh` Again, I've only known the girl for five weeks. I mean, we spend a lot of time with each other. Yeah. But, I mean, I care about her a lot. But we haven't dropped the L bomb yet, so it's... No. (BOTH CHUCKLE SOFTLY) We're going towards that moment. I can see it. But right now, I'm not gonna drop that word yet. I really wanna mean it when I say it and not just drop it cos we finished an experiment. Um, I wanna say it when I really mean it. Yeah. So in terms of future plans, what does it look like? Well, we're just` right now, we'll, probably over the next few months, like, Christmas, New Years, summer, just hanging out with each other. We've got our plan to go down to Christchurch for a couple times; she's coming up to Wellington, meet the parents, meet more of my friends, those sorts of things. Just small things. And then, yeah, next year, we'll make those decisions later. Well, it's been an absolute pleasure, you two, and we wish you all the best. Yeah. And look forward to following the journey. Thank you so much, guys. Thank you. Cheers. (ALL CLAP) To be honest, I still feel it's just a dream still. (CHUCKLES) I did expect to find a love there, but I didn't think it was that great, this great, so I'm just very feeling lucky and, yeah,... It's really` I'm feeling really lucky. OK, so can I now invite Wayne and Ksenia. Can you guys come up to the sofa, please? (ALL CLAP) Good luck. Thanks. I need it. (CHUCKLES) (ALL LAUGH) Oh, that's how it went. It's great to see you both this evening. Ksenia, can you start off on your reflection of your journey? Um, it's been good. I've really enjoyed it. I've met very good friends. I've... (LAUGHS). Yeah, that's all. (LAUGHS) So looking back on it, what went wrong for you? I still don't fully understand where it, kind of, went wrong. I guess, there's, probably, even though I came to New Zealand when I was 18, but I'm still quite set in, like, Russian ways, in a way. Like` Or I'm from` I don't know, I expected Wayne, maybe, to put a bit more effort, um, in this relationship. I mentioned before, like, that Bali, um, you know, he was with his mate Gareth drinking beer, and I was in the bedroom. That's when I wanted to` for him to make that effort. You know, like, try to get to know me, spend some time with me. I'm not sure what happens in Russian marriages, but do you not think it's a two-way street? What attempt did you make to actually get to know Wayne? Well, um, as I said, I was (LAUGHS) doing 50 laps in the swimming pool, come and join me, like we could have had some fun together. OK. But it was too early in that relationship for me to demand something, like, say, 'Oh, you know, stop drinking, be with your mates and hang out with me.' I wanted him to want to do that. I think he was emotionally not quite stable. He was sort of a bit overwhelmed with what's been happening around him. So he's been seeking support elsewhere. Wayne, during what Ksenia was saying, your face was saying quite a bit else. Can` Still is. It still is. What are your thoughts on what Ksenia said? What did you just hear then? I was pretty much under the impression that she was sick in Bali and was not sleeping. And she had spoken to me about that, so it wasn't about me not spending time with her, it was actually giving her time to sleep. Yeah, I did spend time with the other couples and bounced ideas off of them and got to figure out what I have to try and change in myself to make it work. Ksenia, what did you just hear then? Because it was clearly an issue for you. Well, I hear what Wayne was trying to` was talking to other couples and just was trying to hear what he had to do. Why he didn't come to me and, you know, when it was back in the apartment. When we've got such limited time to get to know each other, I think you have to utilise the time to its maximum to try to get to know each other and, um, instead of, you know, going and hanging out with other participants. Is that what you said? Do you think Ksenia reflected what you said accurately? I wasn't actually listening. Right. (CHUCKLES) (ALL LAUGH NERVOUSLY) (UNSETTLING MUSIC) Is that what you said? Do you think Ksenia reflected what you said accurately? I wasn't actually listening. Right. (CHUCKLES AWKWARDLY) That's the story of my life. (LAUGHS) The humour ` it's something that's really quite prominent with you both. However, Ksenia, with your humour, it's different. My reflection would be you get quite nervous, and you say something and then you laugh. No one understands my humour ` obviously just myself ` and I laugh at my own humour. But especially when it's` But especially when it's around Wayne. The problem with that humour and how it's used is usually because there's a veiled insult in there at some point. Why are you wearing a T-shirt under your`? Because it makes me look musclier. Looks like I'm from Russia and muscly. ...six pack. Yes. Unfortunately, it was. I knew that that's not how she meant, but it did push me away a bit, because I felt it was a bit negative. Ksenia's humour is not for everyone. Yeah, she's definitely not gonna go to comedy school, that's for sure. I don't find it mean or anything. Like, I laugh at myself when I do stupid, silly things, so` So do you feel that you've been misunderstood and even on social media? Um,... OTTIE: Yep. Can I? Yeah, I wanna weigh in on that. You have been misunderstood. Yeah, I guess, like, my work colleagues` with people who know me, who, um, they` they know me, so they will understand that humour and stuff. And how do you feel now, leaving this experiment and moving on? Do you look back and think, 'What on earth was that?' No, not at all. I'm looking back, and I'm actually glad. It's` I find it hard looking at myself, seeing myself on TV, um, yeah. (LAUGHS) I thought I looked prettier, but not. (MELANCHOLY MUSIC) No, I've got` I'm not regretting. I actually got to know myself better as a person. Yeah. And Wayne as well. I don't` I do still` I said it before, and I say it again, 'You're nice, genuine, kind guy.' I think you really did` you did mean that. Can you just say that again... to Wayne? You're a nice, kind and genuine, caring guy, and I really hope you meet the one, and you'll find that happy ever after. Yep. No, I very much feel the same with Ksenia as well. I think if you get to know Ksenia, and people warm up to her, she's very caring; she's very loyal; and she's very honest. So, yeah, hopefully, we can become better friends than we were as` than we were married, pretty much. Thank you both, so much, for putting` putting the incredible amount of effort, in your own ways, that you actually put into this. And I think you've been really honest and candid tonight. And I think that's actually a really good start for any future relationships you get into. So well done. It's been good. Thanks, guys. Thank you. (ALL CLAP) So, Monique and Fraser. Welcome, you two. This is obviously quite an emotional time. QUIETLY: Yep. I'm just wondering if there's something that you would like to say that reflects on your journey. How do you feel, looking back, things have actually gone for you? I don't know. It's like, I like baking brownies, I haven't done one for Monique, but, um,` Where's this analogy going? But it's more like, all the ingredients are there. Like, everything's on paper, but it's like when you go to put it in the oven, the power's turned off or, you know, it sticks to the (BLEEP)ing baking tray. (LAUGHS) Monique and I have been talking outside of this experiment, and I've really enjoyed the times where we've caught up. But it's never been a situation where I felt like it was more than friends. And it was more like catching up with your best mate, rather than catching up with your soul mate. So, Fraser, is that how you always felt? That there wasn't that` Were you talking about there wasn't the magic or the spark or the attraction. At the start, I think I got quite caught up in the experience of being married at first sight. It was as a very different approach that we took. And I know that for me, myself, that I probably over-invested too much there so that by the time when Monique was starting to get ready to explore, I was almost with one foot out the door. So was that the change of energy? You were bit of an eager beaver, and Monique was slow and steady. But then there seemed to be quite a shift. That's just different dating` We're just different people... ...with different dating styles, like, and` Yeah. I guess it's why, like, on paper we can see it being really magical. There's a spark that needs to be there where, despite the distance, you want to do` spend all your efforts communicating with the other person, where when you get your down time, they're the person that, sort of, slips into your thoughts. And I'm not sure that either of us were at that stage. I couldn't imagine anyone else that's more caring than you. Like, you` you care so much about people, and once we'd gotten through some of those early, niggly stages, you really tried to understand where I was coming from, and that was really, really cool. Something else that I also appreciate about you is that... your sense of humour actually is pretty good. (ALL LAUGH) It took a while for me to laugh at a couple of your jokes, but we got there. That's the main thing is that our sense of humour is` We do have very different senses of humour. (LAUGHS) That's such a big deal breaker for me is that we don't really find each other that funny. (LAUGHS) Oh, you don't? No. No. Oh, really? Cos you did look a bit embarrassed at the start at the Bali dinner party. (LAUGHS) I was really out of my comfort zone, yeah. Like, one of the first jobs I had wearing a billboard was for` What? The first one? (ALL LAUGH) So there's multiple? Some random dude came up to me and punched me while I'm` (ALL LAUGH) I've got one more nice thing to say about you. I can't really` I've only got one more. Yeah, don't worry. Like one of the things, and it's definitely the part that I have, like, without all doubt, it's definitely the thing that I appreciate. I'm (BLEEP)ing` I'm not gonna cry. (MELANCHOLY MUSIC) I felt like you've always respected me. And... that's` Despite the fact that we've not always been on the same page in how we've felt about each other and how we've approached things, and there's not much` like I know that... you've always had my back, um, even to the point where I know that you would've probably tried this a little bit longer, and you've respected the fact that I couldn't keep on being in this experiment and, like` Fraser, stop. But the fact that you knew that I was` you were strug` that I was` you weren't struggling. I was the one struggling. That you were struggling. But you knew that I was struggling. And, like, even though it sucks, cos, like, it would have been awesome, the fact that it hasn't worked, and we can still walk away with a high level of respect for each other and how we've treated each other. (MELANCHOLY MUSIC) I mean, the friendship that you two have got here is really genuine, and it's really touching. And this is actually what life is all about, and what love's all about, isn't it? Whether it's platonic love or a sexual love, it's actually the essence of human connection at its best. It's been quite powerful to watch the journey. We really did not know where it was gonna go. There was certainly` We only just decided, like, 12 hours ago ourselves, like... I mean, tomorrow, we might be like, 'Never mind, guys, we're swapping the ring over back to the original.' Oh, wow. That's a powerful moment, they're gonna keep that. Leave it. But that's just it ` take the time and take` cos you're right, things can change. And only you guys can make that decision. Well done, guys. Thank you so much. Aw. (ALL CLAP) Julia, Dave, can I ask you to come to the couch, please? Dave really tested me last night. He just really pushed me to my limit. For him to go and say those things, I was just so livid. So livid. So I am looking forward to actually being able to have my say and say, 'Hey, look, I` this is not what happened.' Hello, you two. Hi. How's it going? Very well. Who'd like to start, in terms of reflections of your journey? Ladies first. (CHUCKLES RUEFULLY) Um, you know, why don't you start? No, you're all right. (DRAMATIC MUSIC) Who'd like to start, in terms of reflections of your journey? Ladies first. (CHUCKLES RUEFULLY) Um, you know, why don't you start? No, you're all right. Yep. (UNSETTLING MUSIC) Well, I wanna start by saying` apologising for, um, swearing at you last night. I know that was not really like me, but, um, you really pushed me to my limit, and that's why that happened. I've really enjoyed getting to know Dave, and I'm really, really gutted that it didn't work out. I mean` And I really, in my mind, have given it 100%. But what was it? What did you give? I mean, we hung out. I mean` Right. I don't know. What do you think I gave? I'd like` I'd like to hear it from Dave, cos I know that he thinks that my effort, in his eyes, was not, um` was minimum. OK, Dave, what were the signs that Julia was making an effort from your point of view? Um, you know, I really wanted this to be something. And, you know, as Julia knows, I've come into this 150%. And what I feel is that I was robbed of time. There'd be occasions when, um, if something had happened, an answer would come back to me via somebody else and` What do you mean? Can you give an example of that? Like, some one else would, you know, tell me Julia's feeling this way, rather than hear it from Julia. I was` I disagree. I'm sorry. Can we carry on with Dave just for a second? Sure, sorry. Yep. So, Dave, can you tell us a little bit more about that dynamic? Um, well, I've` I kinda felt like, you know, when there was` we're here to get to know each other. I felt she spent too much time confiding in others, rather than confiding in me. And I'm gutted in the four weeks that, you know, I can, sort of, count three times ` the best times that I've had ` where, you know, Julia once picked me up, and we went out and crossed the road, and we just had a coffee. And we had one of the best conversations that we've ever had. We went out for a breakfast down at the waterfront. We went, you know, op-shopping with her on K Road. And the other times ` you know, social occasions and stuff like that ` you know, um, where's Julia? But there were, you know` Like, that happened maybe once or twice. I feel like you're` And what about other people in the group? Did you feel that sort of helped or hindered? Everyone loves being around Julia, including me. But there were times when it's like, you know, we need our time. And a lot times during this experiment, you'll see that Sam's been an amazing friend to Julia, and I respect that. But I wanted to be` You wanted to be that person. You wanted to be in Sam's role, yeah? Yeah. You wanted to be her go-to person. But that's where I` So, Julia` Sorry, can you see Dave? How's he looking to you? Yeah, I know. He's` What are you noticing? What are you seeing? Yeah, he's upset, obviously. But I` This is where I don't understand, because I feel like we talked all the time. So much that it was draining in fact. He's obviously not happy with that standard. And I need to get away and be independent and do my thing. I get that. But my` But you don't. That's the thing. No, no, because` Just for a second` Because the problem` Oh, sorry. Just for a second. Julia, what did you hear from Dave? Because you mention about 100% genuine ` don't worry about all of that. What did you hear from Dave? Well, what I think he thinks is that I haven't` Not what you think he thinks. You can't tell somebody what you think they think. Just simply` Cos you don't have to agree with something. You just have to hear it. So what Dave said was, 'Actually, it really hurt me that I didn't have that opportunity. 'I didn't have` I didn't have that.' That's simply how he felt. OK. I acknowledge that. And I'm really sorry that you felt that way, but I do actually think` Yeah, I communicated with you so much. I told you exactly how I felt at the time. There was nothing that you didn't know, so... Do you know what, Julia? I don't think Dave's arguing with that. He's just saying, 'We didn't have enough time together. And I wish I was your best friend. 'I wish I was the one that you came to.' That's all he's saying. This is the frustrating part is that during the start, we talked about everything, we overcame everything. Well, you certainly look great on paper. Yeah, and I` We had high hopes for you guys. Oh, yeah. There was this one insurmountable object that we just didn't talk about. And what was that? The attraction. Right. And how on earth that was going to be` But I don't think it's something you can talk about, you know? It's either there or it's not, and I think this is where we disagree. I think he just thought that I just need to plunge into it, and we'll see what happens. Well, I wasn't going to do that. Mm-hm. I'm not going to have sex with someone to make them happy. Well, it's not about sex. It's` Well, it is, Dave, like... Tell us a little bit more about the attraction. I just knew it wasn't going to come. And it would be horrible to lead him on. So, Dave, can you tell us a bit more? So, after the clairvoyant, one of the things that came out of that was, um, I was clearly holding something back. Well, the thing I was holding back was the fact that, um, I knew deep down in my heart, like Julia said, this attraction thing isn't gonna shift, OK? So I kind of knew then that that was time up for me. When we came to the day that we were going to, obviously, leave to go to hometowns to think about things again, I told Julia that morning, 'I'm going to be leaving.' Yep, he` She talked me out of it. No. OK, so that's not true. I'm just gonna get this straight. So, basically, he said in the morning, 'I'm done.' And then he left. He walked out, and I went, 'OK.' Are you for real? Yeah, you did. You went` Julia, don't lie. I'm not lying. You're lying. OK, Sam,... did he go and talk to you? (DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS) Whoa. Married at First Sight couple Julia and David are in the middle of a fiery final session with the experts. So after the clairvoyant, one of the things that came out of that was, um, I was clearly holding something back. Well, the thing I was holding back was the fact that, um, I knew deep down in my heart, like Julia said, this attraction thing isn't gonna shift, OK? So I kind of knew then that that was time up for me. Then I told Julia that morning, 'I'm going to be leaving.' Yep, he` She talked me out of it. No, OK, so that's not true. I'm just gonna get this straight. So, basically, he said in the morning, 'I'm done.' And then he left. He walked out, and I went, 'OK.' Are you for real? Yeah, you did. You went` Julia, don't lie. I'm not lying. You're lying. OK, Sam,... did he go and talk to you? Hold on. Guys, no, we're gonna stop here for a minute. Whoa. No, seriously, because` I'm not lying. You said you were done, and that I misinterpreted you` Julia, Julia. Please, please, please, just... Wow. My experience is that if we let you run on with this, it's gonna get into a 'he said, she said', OK? That's the last thing I want to do. I know. And then we're just gonna get caught in that blame game trap, which is really common when people have fights, OK? It's a common thing that happens, but we have to nip it in the bud. Julia, and this is just for your own learning going forwards, because we all have things that we can learn about in these situations. All of us. Um, I think I gave it 100%, but,... um, yeah. OK. We appreciate your time this afternoon. And just take this little bit of time now just to breathe away from this experiment. And just take the time to be kind to yourselves and just let it settle. Thank you. Thank you both very much. (BLOWS AIR LOUDLY) Dude, she's (BLEEP)ing lying. Seriously, man. For (BLEEP)'s sake. Um, I'm okay. I'll be all right. Like I said, no one has to be right or wrong. And in the big grand scheme of things, it doesn't matter. Yeah, you're right, you're right. And you said exactly what the reason was, OK? I'm just really hurting from it. It's not that, like, I wanted to do that. I didn't want to reject him. I didn't want to make him feel bad. I spent the whole experiment protecting him and, um, yeah, and just having his back. And I just felt really deceived that he, kind of,... yeah, that this has all happened. I feel` I feel awful about it. I really do. Just think about all the DMs on Instagram. (BOTH LAUGH) SOFTLY: Thanks, mate. Thanks, mate. I think the biggest disappointment is, um, uh, the fact that we're not gonna be friends. Not after that ` that's just downright shit. Um, and, you know, she may be really upset about the vows, but at least they were true. Um,... so, yeah. Deal with that. I just think it was pretty low actually. Just... yeah. Grand scheme of things. Tomorrow ` think about how you'll feel tomorrow. Terrible. (CHUCKLES RUEFULLY) I know, but probably... At the end of the day, I've just gotta let it go. Um,... yeah. Life's just short to dwell on things like that, and I really wish him the best, and I hope that he finds the one, and I'm sure he will. He's gonna get inundated with lots and lots of, um, messages from women and he'll... yeah. So, Ottie and Gareth. Can you come and join us? (ALL CLAP) Thank you. (CHUCKLES) I feel very underdressed. Yes, um, I didn't get the memo. So who wants to start reflections of your journey? I would like to say something first. OK. Um,... yeah, last night, probably said something I shouldn't have to you. Um, I apologise for that it came across that way. Didn't mean to,... you know. Heat of the moment, I guess. It was not` not cool. I never intended on that to come out that way, so I am sorry` It's the second time you've said it to me on camera ` shut the (BLEEP) up. (UNSETTLING MUSIC) I like how you're apologising on camera. Well, I texted you, and you didn't reply, so... It's not` not my intention ever to be a rude person. So, Gareth, that's actually a different side of you than we've seen earlier on. Yeah, um,... And for you too, Ottie? Was that a surprise? No. No? That was a side of Gareth that he doesn't want to show on camera, I think. I think you started to show your true colours at my home visits, and, yeah, it's continued to, sort of, be that kind of attitude. (POIGNANT MUSIC) What is the attitude? I've said to him off camera that I think it's a sexist attitude. (DRAMATIC MUSIC) So Gareth mentioned that women shouldn't be in business, because they're too emotional. Oh, (BLEEP) off. I didn't say that. You didn't say that? I didn't say that. I asked you a question about that. No, you said that to me. I never said it in those words. Do you feel that women can conduct themselves in business the same as men can? That was a question. It wasn't a (BLEEP)ing` Why is that a question? I was just asking. We were having a conversation and... I mean, for` I` for me, I think we were doing really well, you know? We were getting on very well and all of that. And we had one fight in three weeks, which to me is (BLEEP)ing epic. That's, like` To go through this whole experiment` But I do feel like that's because I... sat down and shut the (BLEEP) up. It's why we didn't fight. All right. But just cos you're not the guy for me doesn't mean that there's some little wife out there that wants to be with you. Gareth? I mean, is that` is that what you would want ` a little wife` No, not at all. ...that's gonna fall in line? No, not at all. Probably, last night might have, you know` what I said to her wasn't good, so, you know, it obviously ticked her off a wee bit. I didn't quite expect Ottie to, kind of, come at me the way she did. Gareth's attitude towards me, towards women, towards my friends, towards marriage, towards loyalty are all things that don't measure up between the two of us. So I don't know how to deal with it. I don't know what to do. Gareth isn't shocked by those views, cos I've told him to his face. And every time we discussed it, I was shut down. He would walk away or say, 'is that what you think?', which is just a dismissive comment. Ottie's obviously seen a side to me she doesn't like or several sides, apparently. I've always said that I am who I am. I'm not gonna change that for anyone and... (CHUCKLES RUEFULLY) Do you think you are this person that she's describing? Not at all. I don't think I'm a sexist person, but possibly some things I've said have come across that way. Then why can't you explain it when I said to you, saying if your friends don't like me, they know where the (BLEEP)ing door is. Or when we're out for dinner, and you said if you want loyalty, buy a dog. Or you got married because you were bored. Your friends asked me why did I do this,... Yes. ...and I said to them, 'Oh, I was bored', it was a bit of a snarky remark. And then I said to them, 'I` Why the snarky remark though? That's what I don't understand. Like, my friends are` It was just a remark, and I said afterwards` But you didn't speak apart from that. People think that he's this sort of hopeless romantic, but that's not true. And so, today, I sort of wanted to be, like, well, I've been true to myself and... true to everybody else about who I was, and he wasn't being that. And it was really frustrating. It's really important that you take this time to clarify and actually talk to some of the specific examples. If that's how I come across, then, you know, I don't wanna be that person. And, obviously, that's something I've gotta look at about myself. And I appreciate the fact that you're telling me that. You know, spending a month with someone, they see bits and pieces of yourself that you probably don't see. And I appreciate the fact that you've said that. And if that's how I come across, I don't wanna be like that. Mm-hm. I don't think I was being sexist, but at the same time I didn't want to sit there and start a slinging match with Ottie. So it's not that I was accepting it. It's not me to sit there and have a massive argument with someone. I do have one thing for you, though. (UNSETTLING MUSIC) I do have one thing for you, though. (UNSETTLING MUSIC) I got you this. You can choose to, you know, wear it or not wear it. It's up to you. (CHUCKLES) But I do know that the one you received you didn't like, so I got you this. Aw. It's cool. There's three diamonds in there for the three weeks we lasted. (LAUGHS) (ALL LAUGH) Aw, that's awesome. Yeah, um` That's really nice. Choose to wear it or choose not to, throw it in the harbour if you like. (ALL LAUGH) Up to you. I appreciate that a lot. It's all right. Thank you for doing this with me. Yeah, no, you're very welcome. Well, I didn't have a choice, but` No, you didn't. No. No. (ALL LAUGH) Can I just ask one other thing? Do you actually think that Gareth has listened to what you've said? I hope so. Right. OK. Well, that's a good start. Yeah, it's a start, I guess. OK. (BOTH CHUCKLE SOFTLY) I told him three weeks ago what my girlfriends had thought of him, and it didn't change his attitude. So said the right things; I think it sounded good to say that he would look at that behaviour or whatever, but I don't think he would have done it if he'd known not to act like that. I don't think me saying on camera's going to change his attitude either. So thank you very much. It's certainly been fascinating watching the journey. And we really appreciate the honesty that you've brought here. Oh, thank you. Thanks, guys. (ALL CLAP) Thank you. Thank you. Well done, Ottie. Thanks, mate. (PEOPLE CHATTER, CHUCKLE) Sam and Tayler ` can you come and join us on the couch, please? (ALL CLAP) Clapping for ourselves. (ALL LAUGH) It's always great to clap yourself in. I know. I know. (ALL LAUGH) Your reflections, Tayler, on your journey, cos at the commitment dates, you called it quits. Yeah, basically, talked every day since then, and, like, we actually wanna try make it work outside of the experiment, so... here we are today. (POIGNANT MUSIC) Do you, Tayler, notice a shift in Sam towards you? Literally, that day. Yeah. We both changed. Like, we just saw a weight lifted off each other's shoulders. We went out to lunch that day` oh, afternoon tea, whatever you call it, and went shopping. I think it was the most we've ever laughed together as well. Yeah, it just felt so normal. Do you remember, Sam, at one point, you were saying you were getting annoyed, cos Tayler was sort of hanging around the apartment, and you were getting up and going to the gym` Yeah, no, and I` And you were going, 'What's this guy gonna do? Who is he?' 'Why doesn't he get off the couch?' In his defence now, I can understand that he's not that person. He's 100% not that person, and I got it wrong. How did you find out he's not that person? Because he went back to work, um... (ALL LAUGH) I know that sounds stupid. He went back to work. And for him to only text in the morning, 'Good morning. I hope you have a good day. I'm busy today.' It was more about career side of things and being driven. And to know and see, um, how hard of a worker he is, I'm, like, actually, like, it's a really awesome thing to see. I was 100% not expecting to walk away with Tayler. Yeah, we had our ups and downs, and we had arguments and a bit of disagreements, but, I mean, we all do. But I've learned to take on board that possibly my ideal guy isn't what I put on paper. I feel like we've got two really equally committed people` Yeah. ...right in front of us. Whereas I wouldn't have said the same thing a couple of weeks ago. Probably not. We've already got a big chunk out of the way because we've been in the experiment. We know what pisses each other off; what, um, gets each other motivated. It'll be slow and steady, which, I reckon, will win the race. What about your relationship with the rest of the group and with other people in the group? I mean, look, me and Julia have an amazing bond. So do you think that was actually helpful for their relationship or do you think it got in the way? (DRAMATIC MUSIC) Cos he did mention earlier on that there were times where he didn't feel it was so helpful in terms of, at times, it did cause time that they didn't have. (DRAMATIC MUSIC) No, I can` I can 100% appreciate that. And it's possibly more` Maybe it was` I don't know if there was the communication with them, but maybe Julia needed to step aside and take a moment to herself. And if that was with me, it happens to be that way. When I was feeling down with Tayler, she was my rock to lean on as well, so... In all relationships, when you are having trouble with your partner, you need to let that person know first. Yeah, yep. You need to give that person the opportunity to be your best friend in that situation or to make repair. Because it does become really damaging if your first port of call is someone else first. In retrospect, I can understand where Dave was coming from as well, where he possibly thought that I took Julia away a little bit from him. And I can own that, because I never thought of it like that. And it just shows that we all have a different way of thinking, and we all see different parts of how a relationship grows. So this is, kind of, your voice, your opportunity, in terms of the social media and bits and pieces ` I want to touch on that again. And it's a question for Tayler, because I think it's a valid opportunity for you both. Do you think that Sam is in this for the right reasons or entered into this whole process for the right reasons? Yes. 100%. Yeah? Yup. And you're the one` I haven't had a doubt on that at all. Like` He hasn't, and I can say that. There's been people ask me as well, and I'm just like, 'What a shit question.' And that's exactly why that question was posed to Tayler, because he's the one ` not the viewers, not anybody else ` he's the one that's been alongside you throughout this whole process. I have not not been myself, and he's accepted every part of me. Whether I'm rude, whether I'm confident, whether I'm whatever way it is. To see the elements that you both extend each other, you actually bring something to the other person that makes them a better version of themselves. So it's exciting ` the future. And so we look forward to, hopefully, hearing how that grows and develops and where you end up being. I'd like to take this opportunity to really thank each and every one of you for the absolute commitment that you've shown not only to your partner, but also to this experiment. And really throwing yourselves into it, boots and all. So thank you. And I'd like to say that life is full of highs and lows, just like relationships are full of highs and lows, and it's not until we actually hit the lows that we can fully appreciate the highs. So all your twists and turns have not been in vain, and I want you to go forward, and please don't regret what's happened, what you've said. Don't comb over it. Because life's actually about learning from our past and making good decisions in the future. So well done, all of you. Thank you so much. (ALL CLAP) (POIGNANT MUSIC) So that is that. Done and dusted. Honestly, deep down, I really did want it to work. It's definitely been one hell of a ride. And it's a great story, and that's what I came in for. Obviously, we're all, kind of, gutted that it didn't work out. We both gave it the best that we could. I think I've learned a lot from it. I've learned a lot about myself. For someone who didn't get the end result, I still had the best time of my life, so I'm happy with it. Sam and I's relationship is going, basically, step by step. We don't know what's gonna happen, but it's gonna be a fun journey, so... Me and Yuki are again on the same page, and we want to do the same things in life, so, yeah, it's awesome. Everyday I'm pinching myself. Is this, kind of, real? Like, I just` Is this...? Because it's` I honestly got everything I wanted.
