01x07 - Facts

[bunniefuu]

[Narrator] Previously...

over the last five weeks,

six singles,

demoralised by
the superficial world

of modern dating...

[Alex] Standard modern dating
is instant gratification.

You don't get a chance
to get to know people.

[Madi] My biggest insecurity

would be getting so close
to someone again,

and then them completely
destroying me.

[Narrator] ...took a chance
on something new.

[Lisa] I know
what I'm looking for,

and it's a connection
with someone

and it's not just about
the looks,

it's that emotional connection.

[Narrator] New relationships
formed sight unseen...

It's a "What you see
is what you get" type basis.

I like that.

Do I look like
what you thought I would,

-or very different?
-[Erika] Very different.

[Narrator] ...have been
put to the test...

You don't think I trust you?

I don't think so.

-Not fully.
-[Narrator] ...by twists...

[phone chiming]

[Leesh] Instantly,
I felt as if

your boyfriend had just cheated
on you or something.

[Narrator] ...and turns.

[Bec] I'm coming to live
with you guys.

Do I love him? No. I love you!

And you can't f*cking see that,

which is frustrating
the f*ck out of me!

[Narrator] None
more shocking...

[Madi] [voice echoing] What do
we actually know happened?

'Cause I'd like facts.

[Narrator] ...than
the bombshell scandal...

Oh my god.

[Narrator] ...nobody
saw coming.

Oh, no. Oh, no.

You've got some ba*ls,
showing up here!

This is why us females
have trust issues.

What?!

[Belinda] [screaming] Ahh,
you're such a f*cking liar!

[Narrator] Coming up now on...

There's a little over
one week left

in the Love Triangle
experience

before our original singles
must make a choice,

to continue a relationship
with one of their matches

beyond the experience,
or un-match them both.

Yeah, uh...

[laughs]

Tired. Confused.

Do I love him? No. I love you.

And you can't see that,

which is frustrating
the f*ck out of me!

So, you're telling me,

if I tell you I'm exclusive
with you right now,

you're going to tell this guy
to f*ck off?

Correct.

I'm exclusive with you.

[Lisa] He said

in order for us to be exclusive,
I'm giving you an ultimatum,

which means Matt
needs to pack his bags.

Matt's arrival has shown me
a side to Patrick

that worries me.

It's always just
"My way or the highway".

I do want to be exclusive,

but I've also got to think
what's best for me long-term.

Yeah.

[Matt]
Patrick's wanted me gone

ever since he saw my face.

I wasn't surprised,

that Pat had given Lisa
an ultimatum, on being exclusive

if I was to leave.

I have made it very clear
that I'm not going anywhere,

until I'm told by Lisa.

And I will be keeping my eye
on Patrick.

I think Pat still sees me
as a threat.

I mean, I think Pat
seen me as a threat

ever since I've walked in
this front door.

And...

in doing that,

I think he's muddling
himself up.

Too busy worrying about me,
and not worrying about Lisa.

[Lisa] Hello, guys.

Hello.

Do you want to go outside
and have a chat?

Just me and you?

[Patrick] Yeah, sure.

[Patrick sighs]

[door opens]

Doesn't this remind you
of last night?

Sitting on a couch?

There's a lot of, sort of,
unfinished business, obviously.

Unfinished conversations.

Obviously, we had discussions
about... being exclusive.

And you sort of, like,
you gave me the ultimatum...

In order for that to happen
between us,

Matt has to leave the house,
right?

Like, giving me that ultimatum,
that's unfair!

I don't want to be
treated like that.

Everything was fine
before he came.

But it's like, now we have all
these little fractures.

You can't just always pack up
your bags and leave!

Like, I have...
every faith... and hope,

that like,
we can progress forward,

over the next couple of days.

Obviously, yeah, being
exclusive would be great.

But, like, I think we need

to build back that communication
and trust...

and bond and connection
that we've had,

regardless if Matt's
still under the roof or not.

We've just got to see
what happens

between now and the next week.

I agree.

Whether or not things,
you know, can be fixed.

Thank you.

Matt's a great guy.

-Hey.
-Hello.

Matty.

[Lisa] And there are things

that I like about Matt,

that I don't see in Patrick.

So, I don't want him
to leave this experience.

So, it was sort
of an ultimatum...

given, last night...

um...

where Pat said
if we're exclusive,

you need to pack up
your bags and leave.

Yep.

[Lisa] Um...

But given the circumstances,

and the conversation I had
with Pat on the couch outside,

you're still under this,
this house.

Thank you. Yeah.

-Yeah.
-That means a lot.

I'm happy to like,
forget the last few days...

for the betterment of the morale
of the house.

Well, it's not forget
the last few days,

it's to work through
the last few days.

[Matt] I wasn't shocked

that Pat had given Lisa
an ultimatum.

Because that's what
Pat's been doing

since I got here.

Trying to strong-arm her

into getting me out
of the picture.

I see where you're coming from.

[Patrick] I'm going
to try my absolute hardest

to be nice...

and accept the fact

that Matthew's living
in the house.

Because I know Lisa and I
have a strong connection.

[Matt] I know that
I'm the right guy for Lisa.

So, I always plan
to put my best foot forward

and I will be doing that

until the end
of this experience.

[Patrick] Matt doesn't stand
a chance with Lisa.

Yeah.

It's kind of like comparing,
like, stone...

to straws.

I'm definitely the stone.

He's this flimsy straw
that doesn't want to go away.

[Alex] How you feeling?

-[Madison] Pretty tired.
-[Alex] Mm.

Yeah. Me too.

Are you... yeah,
how was your night?

It was good.

It was good to see everyone,
meet some new faces.

[Narrator] Alex and Madison

have been living together
for five weeks.

And Alex is waking up
with concerns,

after learning
at last night's party

that Madison has
been talking badly

about new arrival Bec,

since she moved
in nearly two weeks ago.

Hi. [chuckles]

[Alex] Madison, this is Bec.

Hello. [chuckles]

Yeah, things have been
pretty cruisy for us.

-[Alex] Mm.
-[Bec] Good.

Too cruisy.

I know. Too good.

Well, that's why I'm here.

Shake it up? [chuckles]

She's definitely rubbed me up
the wrong way.

She said "I'm here
to shake things up."

-Literally, what can you say to
that?

-Sure! Have my man.

-[Leesh] Yeah.
-[Madison] I don't think so.

[Alex] Lovely, lovely person.
Absolutely lovely person.

[Kyle] I've got to say
something else.

We heard a bit
of a different story.

-[Madison laughs]
-[Erika] Yeah, pretty much!

-I'm like, um...
- That's what I said!

I was like, I'll get Erika...

"I'm here to, like,
stir sh*t up."

And then apparently
you got dragged upstairs...

OK, so...

[Alex] So, what
you're saying there...

And that's what I said.
like, I kind of said--

She has not...
that's not the truth at all.

Um, yeah, actually,
I was speaking to Kyle,

he was just telling me

about your catch up with,
um, Leesh.

[Madison] Mm-hm.

Felt like he'd been told...

that Bec was quite intrusive,

and trying to get, get
in between us, and--

Yeah.

Well, it... the first day,

it was a little bit like that,
though.

The first day?

The first day, like,
when she first arrived.

Like, yeah, she came in, like,
she came in, like, yeah...

Obviously, not knowing what...
where we were at,

but she came in with full, um...
purpose.

Yeah, intentions to build
a connection with me.

Yeah.

So, when, when Leesh
and I caught up,

we were both very worked up.

-Yeah.
-And upset.

And annoyed and angry and...

I can a hundred percent...

understand if Leesh went back
to Kyle and was like,

"Yeah, Madi's upset",
'cause I was.

I wasn't going to go there
and pretend that I was fine,

-when I wasn't.
-Mm.

I wasn't. OK?

Like, you told me

it was an awkward
and weird situation,

but you didn't tell me
that you were upset or anything.

Yeah, just when I heard that
I was like, "Oh, that's weird".

That's not really the way
I saw it at all.

I would hope that if you
were feeling uncomfortable,

you would come to me first.

So, when Bec came
into the experience,

Madison made out,
to me at least,

like, there was no issue.

Which is, to me, dishonesty.

Obviously, I do have
a deep connection with Madison.

But, you know, we have only
known each other for five weeks.

So, it's difficult to know
what's real Madison

and what's, you know, not.

Oh, here she is!

-[Madison] Hello.
-[Bec] Hello.

How you feeling, uh,
after last night? No hangover?

[Bec] No. No hangover.
I was a good girl. [chuckles]

What did you happen
to get up to?

I just chilled at home.

[Bec] From bits and pieces

that I heard last night,

Apparently Madison said I just
let myself into the house,

and basically said
that I'm here to stir sh*t up.

[chuckles]

Um, which absolutely
isn't what happened.

[Bec] So...

I wanted to talk
about something...

-[Alex] Yeah?
-[Bec] Um...

Having a chat with Elena
last night,

she was saying that when Leesh
and yourself went on your date,

that you had told Leesh
that when I entered,

I came in, like,
all g*ns a'blazing,

like, "Hey guys,
I'm here to stir sh*t up!"

Yeah. We've already
been through that.

OK, so what's your side
of the story?

I literally just said
exactly what happened!

You came in with your bags,

and then you sat down
at the table

and you were like, "Oh,
how are you guys going?"

We were like,
"Yeah, really good",

and then you said something
like...

"Oh, that's why I'm here,
to shake things up".

OK, well that's news,
'cause that's...

Like, I didn't come
in being, like,

"Hey guys", like,
"I'm here to cause sh*t".

You did come in fairly hot,
in my opinion.

OK.

I feel like everything
that I said

was very much, like,

the way that it came across
to me on that day.

Yep.

But I never said that you
were here to mess sh*t up.

I said, you're here...

you said that you're here
to shake things up,

which is what was said.

OK. Yep.

But that wasn't
the only comment.

Like, the overall vibe
was different,

obviously, as well.

Like, Kyle was saying to me
that you weren't...

exactly nice at all, about Bec.

[Madison] Mm.

Yeah. It's not very nice.

I think Alex is a great person,

and I would love to be
with someone like him.

Madison has almost sabotaged
my experience in here

being able to get to know
him in that way.

I don't know.

I feel like I'm a total
punching bag today.

But yeah, I might, um,

go get into something
a bit more comfortable.

-Yeah.
-Get some warmer clothes on.

[tearfully] I came here
for one thing, which is Alex.

And then it's like...

Alrighty.

[sniffs]

Another chick moves
into our house,

and now I have to deal
with that the best way I could,

which was trying to vent
to a girlfriend,

which gets twisted and turned
and then back to her,

and now I'm the bad one.

I don't think Alex
had my back, just then.

He's told me that he does
see a future with me.

But I'm at the point now
where...

I don't know.

[Alex] You know,
coming to the end,

I have a decision to make.

I've always said
that the next partner

is my forever partner.

And you can't really build
a strong foundation

or a strong relationship
with someone

that's not completely honest.

One who has jealousy issues
as well.

[bright upbeat music plays]

[Lisa] It's a new week.

So, I'm charging these up.

[Narrator] It's the final week

of the Love Triangle
experience.

[Patrick] Want to join me
for another challenge?

[Matt] Nah. [laughs]

[Patrick] I thought so.

[Matt] I've been trying
to write a song

about our experience.

-Oh, yeah?
-Called 'Love Triangle'.

-'Love Triangle'?
-Yeah. [laughs]

[Patrick] You talking
about someone else's house?

[Matt laughs]

[Matt strumming guitar]

[guitar strumming continues]

[Narrator] And,
with a decision looming

in just a matter of days,

it's the last opportunity
for our original singles

to spend time
with their matches.

[Daniel] Morning, guys.

-Hey, how you doing?
-Hey, how are you?

-How are you? Alright?
-Yeah, not bad, man.

What's happening?

Um, I've got a coffee pot on
if you want some coffee?

If not, yeah,
come out to join us,

I'll make a coffee,
I'll... I'll come out then.

-Yeah, easy, man.
-Done.

[Madi] Chill. You missed
the wardrobe memo! Pants!

[chuckles]

Put pants on that.

[guitar strumming continues]

[Narrator] Each original
single must now consider

if the relationship
they've formed

with their initial choice
over the last five weeks

is strong enough to continue
into the real world...

[Kyle] You, you've got
to wonder, like...

[chuckles]

[Leesh] Is this
going to last?

Oh, like...

When we both get back
into a routine at home,

we're not, like,
20 minutes away from each other.

[Leesh] No.

And, um, you've got to wonder

if things are going
to fizzle out.

Yeah, like, obviously

[Leesh] I haven't had a,
a good experience

with long distance
relationships,

but I wouldn't let the fact
that you're in Townsville

be the reason that we ended it.

[Narrator] Or, if their head
has been turned

by the suitor
they didn't choose.

Ooh, bit of yoga.

[Narrator] And, while many
of the original sparks

continue to burn bright,

new flames are igniting.

[Yannick] [narrating]
I'm having a fantastic time

with Bel.

She's actually really complex
and interesting.

Given that your parents
are so in love,

and have this awesome,
beautiful marriage,

what was their reaction
to you getting divorced,

or getting separated?

Like...

They were hysterical.
My dad was like, crying.

-Yeah.
-My mum was crying.

-They were both very, very sad.
-Yeah.

And they're both, like,
telling me to make it work,

and didn't want me to leave,
and... all of that.

Oh, so they were...

they were pushing you
to make it work?

-Yeah. Yeah.
-Even though he cheated on you?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I don't know if you can tell,

but I feel like my body
is just so relaxed now.

Like, I feel good.

I think it's like
the first time

since I moved into the house,

where I feel like... Zen.

Absolutely, it's stemmed from
having one-on-one time with...

and just like,
getting things off my chest,

and just talking,
like, openly without,

like, having to talk,

like, you know,

there's a hundred people
in the room.

Um, when I say
a hundred... Erika.

Thank you for taking me out
today, I really appreciate it.

My pleasure. My pleasure.

I needed some fresh air
and some good food...

-Yeah.
-...and some dessert.

Yeah, and dessert! Yeah.

-And all...
-All of the above.

-[Belinda laughs]
-Nice.

Alright, well,
it's been lovely,

-Nice little second date.
-Yeah.

-Good to see you.
-Thank you.

[Narrator] With the end
of the experience in sight,

Ben is hoping to recapture
the connection

he and Ly shared over the phone
five weeks ago,

with a one-on-one picnic date.

[Ben] Since Danny
came into the house,

I think Ly and I have
stagnated a bit.

Danny being Vietnamese,

has cultural similarities
with Ly.

That is just automatically
on another playing field to me.

I really do like Ly.

I still want
to do something special,

and I want to create a moment

for us to have
a real spark moment.

And that's why today,
I want to go on a date,

and I want to get back to that
Ben and Ly when we were...

You know, a week ago before
Danny came into the fold.

I actually brought my guitar
with me.

So, it's just going
to be a fun day.

I don't bring out
the six strings for anyone!

[chuckles]

Ben!

[both chuckling]

-Hi, Benny!
-Hey.

What the heck?
I'm so happy I'm seeing that!

[Ben] I thought I'd sort of get
a little bit... picnic vibes.

-[Ly] I love it.
-Little bit... Asian-inspired.

-Yeah, yeah.
-So, I got you a...

-Bubble cup as well.
-Bubble cup! [laughs]

It's like a, it's like a...

I don't know if it's the one
you like, but it's cold...

-No, I love it.
-...milk with pearls in it.

Yeah, yeah, no, I love it.

And um, you know,
this is what...

I'm Asian, I love bubble tea.

[Ben chuckles]

So, uh...

And I got something else, too.

-I got some banh mis. Yep.
-Yeah?

Thanks, Ben.

-Here. There's a straw for you.
-This is so thoughtful of you!

I thought I'd bring
the guitar out,

and maybe have a little strum,
a little singalong with you.

Yeah, and let's just hang out!

-Because...
-OK.

...we spend so much time
in the house.

It's good to get back
to one-on-one time.

And I've never had
a bubble cup before!

Have you never had
bubble tea before?

No, never actually
had bubble tea,

-or whatever it's called.
-Oh my god.

Well, cheers.

This is my...
bubble tea virginity.

Virginity popped.

OK, so you've got that...
So, the straw is wrong, huh...

-Because the pearls are thick...
-Is it?

...and it's not going to fit
into the straw.

Oh!

[Ly laughs]

Ten points for trying!
Ten points for trying!

The fact that you tried.
I love it.

[both laughing]

[Ly] Your first bubble tea
experience.

-So, Ben...
-So, Ly?

[Ly] ...I want to hear
you play guitar.

[Ben] Yeah, um...

So, I'm going to play you
this song that I wrote.

It was the very first ever song
that I wrote.

[Ly] Mm-hm.

It's called 'Without You'.

Three, four.

[Daniel] 'm going to order
some brekkie, man.

What do you want?

-Something not too naughty.
-Yeah?

Probably a good idea after,
uh... all the birthday drinks.

Yeah, yesterday was my birthday.

And myself, Dan, Madi,
Yann, Erika and Belinda

all went out for drinks.

It was a rather large one,
you know,

paying for it
a little bit today.

[James] Hey, Mads.

-Morning.
-Morning.

What do you want for brek?

[James]
Madi went to a lot of effort

for my birthday.

I felt really quite loved.

You know, I walked down
on my actual birthday yesterday,

to a... A beautiful
little 29-year-old memorial.

That she's got for me there,
so it was nice.

Alright, I'm getting
this breakfast burrito.

What do you want?

I reckon I'm going to have to go
the breakfast...

'cause I reckon if you get it
and I don't,

I'm going to be angry
if it's good.

Yeah, yeah. I always
make good decisions,

you know that.

Maybe you should just jump
on the burrito as well,

'cause you always
make bad decisions.

[phone clacking]

[Madi] My feelings for James

are getting stronger
and stronger each day.

But we're getting closer
to the end of this experience,

and I don't know 100%

if James is ready
for a relationship with me.

[Daniel] Oi, Mads,
I'm going to get a coffee.

-Do you want to come with?
-OK.

[phone clacking]

[Narrator] For Madi,

the arrival
of former red flag Daniel

into the house she shares
with James,

has provided her

with an unlikely
relationship counsellor.

[Madi] We do both
walk the same!

We both turn our feet out.

Is that bad?

Well, it's not great!

OK.

No, no. [laughing]

It's fine for you, it's not,
it's not good for me.

OK, what do you reckon,
we'll sit here?

-Let's just sit here.
-Let's do it.

So, tell me...

Like, what's your, like...

What's your plan of attack
for, like,

when you get out of here?

Have you guys
had the discussion?

Well, my thing is, like...

I think the only thing
with James is,

I'm going to have to need
to see him, like, actions.

Yeah, I think I just need James
to actually be,

like, "No, I'm in it"
or "I'm ready",

do you know what I mean?

-Yeah.
-I think that's what it is.

What do you see, though?
Like, what do you see?

Do you think I should have
any concerns?

To be honest, no.

Like, I just think, yeah...

He kind of is what you see
is what you get.

Yeah, I don't know.

You guys just seem really good
together, to be honest.

We do, we do live, like,
40 minutes away.

Yeah. Yeah, Geelong's like,
maybe just over an hour?

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

You want to make that drive?

[both chuckling]

I'm the worst driver!
Um, yeah...

Petrol prices!

[both laughing]

Sabotage! [laughs]

[Daniel] No, no, I'm joking,
I'm joking.

[James] Madi went to a lot
of effort for my birthday.

So, it's important to show Madi
how much I care.

With the experience, sort of,
coming to an end

in the next couple of days,

it's really important for me to
tell Madi how I feel, you know?

I might not get an,
an opportunity after this.

[Madi] "Madi, come upstairs
when you're ready.

I have a surprise for you.
James."

[Daniel] Hey!

So, are you going
to say down here, or...?

Yeah, I'll just stay downstairs.
Have a good time!

Thanks.

Aww! [chuckles]

G'day, g'day!

What are you doing?

-Thought I'd do something nice.
-This is so cute!

-Take a seat.
-Aww.

You look like a bit
of a porn star.

Thanks.

[both chuckle]

-How are you?
-Yeah, good.

This is cute.

Yeah, I thought I just wanted
to spend some time with you.

Bit of a realisation,

I was like, "Oh sh*t".
You know?

We don't have long left, like,
and, and I wanted to prove...

and to continue to prove

how much, you know,
that I do care.

[Madi] Mmm. How do you reckon
that we would go after this?

Like, where are you,
in like, a relationship sense?

Oh, it's definitely something
I want, for sure.

Um...

Yeah, and I can definitely see
that working for us.

I think we'd be great together.

And I'm growing to like you more
and more, every day.

And I don't want that to stop

just because the experience
has come to an end.

Where's your head at?

[Madi] Yeah, no, definitely,
no, I'm the same.

The amount of effort
James went to,

it was so adorable.
Like, that was so sweet.

And it feels so good
to hear James say

that he is ready
for a relationship.

Thank you for doing this.

At the start of this experience,

I never imagined that I would be
leaving this experience

in a relationship.

And the way
that everything's going.

Like, I can see myself
falling in love with James.

[Daniel] Tonight's
a wild evening, for me.

[giggles]

Just, you know,
third-wheeling around.

But that's OK!

I'm happy to give them
their space, and...

stay out of their way.

[sighs]

Yeah, I am, actually!

I'm very comfy,
thanks for asking.

I want the best for Madi.

She's made it obviously
very clear

that she's in here for James.

As much as I came in here
to meet my match,

and unfortunately
it wasn't Madi,

I think things worked out
the way they were meant to,

to be honest.

Yeah, I am.
Does it not look it?

[Narrator] It's the last day

that our triangles
will live together.

[knocking]

[Leesh] Come in! Morning!

[Elena] It's your favourite
morning person!

-Come in.
-Join us.

Where am I going to go?
Can I get in the middle?

-If you want.
-Nah, I'm just joking.

[Narrator] And tomorrow

they will go
their separate ways,

before the original singles
decide

if they'd like
to continue a relationship

with either of their matches.

-Good morning.
-I made you a cuppa.

-Oh, why thank you.
-Oat milk?

[Narrator] But first,

they have one final
Triangle Party to attend.

[phones chiming]

-Oh! What's that?
-Guys, guys, guys, guys, guys.

[Belinda] We got a message.

[phone chiming]

Oh bro, on match point as well,
we're getting texts.

They're going to have to wait!

-[Ly] Ehh...
-[Ben] Hey!

-[Ly] Guys, guys, guys, guys.
-[Danny] Read it out.

"You're invited to the final
Triangle Party".

"This is your last chance

to socialise with your match
or matches,

before the final decisions."

"Don't leave anything left
unsaid,

otherwise it could be
too late."

"Have fun".

-[Yannick] Oh, final party, huh?
-[Erika chuckles]

Be interesting
to sort of regroup,

and see where everyone's at.

Yeah.

[Daniel] What do you...

What do you foresee happening
at this party?

What, what about, like,
uh, sh*t kicking off?

[Madi] You reckon
that anyone's...

I don't know,
say there's like, a couple

that's been kind of happy,

and then, OK, for example,
say there's me and James,

and then like, you,
do you reckon, like...

Not saying that you're going
to do this tonight,

but say like, the third person
came up to the couple

and was like, "No, I don't think
you're right together.

You should be with me",
or something?

-Oh!
-Like, b*mb drop, and just left?

Yeah, that would be interesting!

[James] I tell you what,
I need a coffee.

[Daniel] I wouldn't mind
getting some food

-and maybe a caffe.
-Yeah.

-A what?
-A caffe.

[laughs] I'll stay here.

-[Daniel laughs]
-You guys can chat.

[inaudible chatter]

[electronic beep]

[inaudible background chatter]

[background clattering]

Hey.

Hi.

Sure. Yeah, sure.

[Narrator] Just hours

before the party
is scheduled to start,

production has learnt
of an off-camera incident

which may bear influence
on Madi's final decision.

And a senior producer
has entered her house

with some important
information.

[Senior Producer] Sorry,
this is kind of out of the blue.

[Madi] Yeah.

But we also know...

um...

that James and Yann, were out
together after curfew...

-Mm-hm.
-...in Bondi.

OK.

You... were you aware of that?
Are you aware of it?

I went to bed.

[Senior Producer] OK.

Um... The reason we know,

is because they were
with two girls.

We also know

that they exchanged numbers
with these girls,

and we also know

that they, um, went back

to those girls' respective
houses, on that night.

Is that something
that you are aware of?

No, obviously,
I don't know that.

Or else I wouldn't be
sitting here right now, would I?

[Senior Producer] OK. Um...

-It's alright.
-Are you OK?

[tearfully] Yeah, no, I'm fine.

No, it's all good. Yep.

[tearfully] No I know,
but this is like,

I just feel like,
I don't know...

I don't know.

It's just like...
I'm just exhausted.

[sniffing]

[sniffing]

So, am I going to get
the opportunity

to speak to James, though?

Like, is he...

[Senior Producer] Of course.

[Madi] So, what do we
actually know happened?

'Cause I'd like facts.

[Senior Producer] In terms
of the details, I'm not sure.

It's something you're going
to have to ask James.

[front door slams]

-[Madi] Hey.
-[James] G'day, g'day.

[Daniel] Hello!

Can I talk to you two
for a second?

[James] Yeah.

[Daniel] Me too?
You want to talk to me?

This look serious.

-[Madi] It is very serious.
-[Daniel] Is it really?

-[Madi] Yep.
-[Daniel] Are you OK?

[Madi] Alright.

[James] What's going on?

So, I think that
this might as well...

you might as well
be here as well,

because you're going to find out
sooner or later.

Yeah?

[tearfully] So, I just had
a member of production

come to me,

which obviously
doesn't happen often.

And I need you to be completely
honest right now.

Yeah.

So, you and Yann snuck out
on Saturday night.

[James] Mm.

[Madi] You stupidly
were talking two girls

about being
on a dating show,

and you got their number.

And then you went back
to their houses.

Didn't go back to their houses,

but we did meet
a couple of girls

[Madi] Yep.

For sure.

[Madi] So, can you explain?

Yeah, um...

[Madi] And don't lie.

-No. No, that's fine.
-[Madi] I'm sick of this sh*t.

Um, yeah, we did meet two...

British girls

whilst we were out.

Um...

So then, the producers know
that you were at...

you went back to their houses.

I didn't go back
to anyone's house.

I went back to my brother's.

Yeah.

I know, I know exactly
what you're talking about.

[Madi] Can I see the messages?

It's just that.

[tense music plays]

[Madi] You're joking me.

[Daniel] Is it bad?

[Madi] Literally, like,
"I definitely do not regret it.

I had fun,
it was lovely to meet you".

[Daniel] Did anything happen?
But nothing happened!

-No.
-[Madi] Something did happen.

[sniffs]

What the f*ck?! You're talking
about catching up!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa!

If I was you, I would not have
given me your phone.

You just said,

"Obviously we probably
won't be dating

on the outside this experience.

Saturday is a good example
of that".

You're talking about leaving me
to go hang out with her,

but it would ruin the show!

"But I won't be dating her
after the show,

so I don't think I can
imagine...

good look for us either.

I appreciate it [censored],
you're really cool".

What the f*ck are you doing?!

[Daniel] Let me give you guys
a bit of room.

Sorry I'm here.

Come on, give me a hug.

[tense music continues
and intensifies]

I... I wasn't expecting that.
I wasn't expecting that.

Don't bullshit me,

telling me that you do want
to be with me on the outside!

When you're literally
messaging a random person,

saying that you don't!

[tearfully] I just...
what the f*ck?!

Are you serious?

See, you don't even...

it's like you've got nothing
to say!

You're actually like,
you're just... Nothing!

[Madi] Well, I don't know either.

[Madi] He needs some air.

[soft sobbing]

Ooh, that's cute.

-[Bec] Wow.
-[Madison] We're first!

[Bec] Guys,
are we down that way?

-[Madison] Here we are.
-[Bec] Cool.

[Narrator] Tonight's
Triangle Party

is the last chance
for our throuples to socialise,

before the original singles
make their decision...

First in, best dressed.

[Narrator] ...if they'd like
to continue a relationship

with either of their matches.

Here's James, but where's Madi?

Ooh, that's strange.

Daniel?

Oh, so they're across.

-[Madison] Is Madi there?
-[Alex] Yeah.

But why would James be there?

[Madi] I'm really hurt
by James.

Because I've been cheated on
in the past.

My biggest insecurity,
going into this...

was being blindsided
by somebody that I trusted.

And that is exactly
what James has done.

And him knowing my past
as well

and then going out
and doing this,

it's unforgivable, to me.

I asked James last night,

if he's ready to be
in a relationship with me,

and he said "Definitely".

Which was absolute bullshit.

When I confronted him

about the information
that I received,

he still does not really own it.

His story doesn't make sense,

because to send
those messages, like...

something happened,
and he's not telling me.

[Kyle, Leesh and Elena] Hey!

[Lisa] Hi.

How you going?

[Madi] So tonight,
going into the Triangle Party,

I need to speak to Yann.

I don't even know
if Yann is aware

that this has all gone down.

But I deserve answers, and...
I deserve to know the truth.

Let's go.

Ooh. Ooh.

[group muttering]

Oh, no. Oh, no.

[group chattering]

[Leesh] Uh-oh.

Wait, where's James at?

[Madi] How are you doing
with Pat?

-[Lisa] You alright?
-Yeah, I'm OK.

[Lisa] You don't have
to talk about it.

I'll, I'll just tell everyone
at once.

Yeah, OK.

[background chatter]

It's OK.

Um, so...

I had a, um, a producer come in
this morning,

and tell me that James and Yann
snuck out on Saturday night,

and, um, and met up
with some girls,

and exchanged numbers, and...
went back to their house.

And then I read
the messages today,

and they were pretty f*cked up.

[Elena] Oh my god.

[Leesh] Madi.

Yeah, it was saying, like,

"Doesn't matter, I'm not going
to be with her on the outside",

and all this stuff, like,

he would sneak out
and go see her.

It was f*cked, it was actually,
like, it was disgusting.

Oh my god.

[Elena] I don't even know
what to say.

[Daniel] Well, I was just as,
just as shocked as,

like, I think, she was!

We kind of like,
didn't expect it,

'cause they were really strong,
and...

Yeah, it wasn't, it wasn't nice
seeing Mads cry, you know?

[Leesh] So, wait,
this was yesterday was it, Mads?

-[Daniel] Yeah.
- [Elena] No, she found out...

No, today, today, today.

-[Daniel] No, today.
-[Madi] Today.

[Elena] Today, like now.

And then James just kind
of walked out,

and like, I haven't seen him.

[Elena] So,
you haven't seen him?

[Daniel] Mm.

James has a lot to answer to.
A lot.

It's not just, like, a mistake.

it's like, it's a constant
couple of days of...

an affair, I'd say.

We all thought that James
and Madi were a strong couple,

so, like, what game
are you playing at?

You've literally, like...

This is why us females
have trust issues!

You've just proved it.

[group chatting]

If they have the ba*ls
to show up.

[Lisa] Mmm. Mmm.

[Danny] Especially, like, Yann.
I just didn't see.

I am not surprised at all,
by James' actions.

He's the tallest guy here...

which means
he's more full of crap

than anyone at this table!

If they come, I'm going
to rip into both of them.

Especially Yannick!

He is getting away
with everything.

My opinion on Yannick,
the first week,

was I thought, you know,
he's a bit shady

and he has a very, very sly way
of getting away from heat.

[laughs] He's such a peasant.

Something smells
a little bit fishy,

and there's no fish
on the table.

[Alex laughs]

So, tonight, I am going
to absolutely grill this guy,

so everyone can see
how fake Yannick is.

He should deserve
to be accountable.

Yannick's a piece of sh*t.

If he comes here,
I'll ruin his life.

Yeah.

[elevator dings]

[Erika] Hi.

[Yannick] Hello.

[tense music playing]

[Daniel] You all good,
you all good?

You don't need to say anything,
if you don't want.

Oh, here we go.

-[Matt] My man.
-[Yannick] How are you, mate?

-Good mate, how are you?
-How are you, mate?

Look at this.
I went a bit more cas tonight!

-[Ben] Yannick!
-Hello.

-Good to see you again.
-Mate, good to see you.

Yeah, looking good,
looking sharp.

[Elena] Hi babe. Hi.

[Erika] Oh, stunning!

[Elena] You look beautiful.

-[Yannick] Hi, hello.
-[Madi] Hey.

[Yannick] How are you?
Where's the big fella?

I'll tell you.
I need to talk to you.

-[Yannick] What?
-[Madi] I need to talk to you.

[background chatter]

[background chatter continue]

You've got some ba*ls,
showing up here!

Why's that?

[Matt] He doesn't know, Pat.

Yann, can I talk to you?

Yeah.

[Erika] What happened?

[Matt] Oh, yeah we need to...

I guess you need
to be filled in on a little bit.

Saturday night, Yann and James
went out after curfew...

[Belinda] Interesting.

...and James has been messaging
girls throughout the week.

How do you not know this?

Why would I know this?

[Yannick] What's going on?

[Madi] So...

today's been sh*t.

Are you OK?

No, I'm not OK.

So, you and James snuck out
on Saturday night?

You met up with these two girls,
you exchanged numbers,

and you both went back
to their houses.

What happened?
You have to tell me.

I deserve the truth,
and I deserve to know.

Yeah, of course.
Well I mean, um...

Yeah, we just sort of, obviously
we went out, and...

Did anyone hook up at the club
or anything like that?

No, not that I saw. Like, it was
just, we went our separate ways.

Um... that was the last
I saw of him.

So, I honestly don't know.

Yep.

Yeah, has he...

have you had a conversation
with him?

He had nothing to say.

And he just got up
and walked away,

and hasn't spoken to me since.

-Yep.
-Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, I'm,
I'm shocked for words.

Obviously, I had no idea
what that...

that I was walking into that.

Um, I'm really sorry,
that's all I can say.

Yeah. OK, let's go inside.

I'm freezing and I don't
have anything else to say.

Well, yeah, I'm sorry
that you're having to go through

what sounds like
a horrendous day.

[group chatter continues]

[Elena] I'm going
to get out of here.

[Kyle chuckles]

It wasn't kind
of how I wanted it to go.

I feel like he did
have James' back.

So, he wasn't really saying
much to me.

I still don't have answers
or anything, like.

I've just kind of had this,
b*mb dropped on me,

and everyone's run away.

[group chattering]

[Yannick] That definitely
caught me off guard.

I wasn't expecting that.

[background chatter
and laughter]

Yep.

[group chatter continues]

Uh, I was out with James,
obviously.

That's been, clearly been,
come out of...

Uh, and that was it, yeah!

I have to talk to James,
and see what happened

because I haven't spoken
to him today.

Thank you.

No, it's, it's just...

Not wanting to throw him
under the bus,

if I don't have to,
and, and to...

to give him the opportunity.

I don't like talking
about someone

who's not there
to defend themselves.

So, for me, it's a conversation
between him and Madi.

So, it's been an eventful night
I hear, before I got here.

[chuckles]

[background chatter continues]

Not at that point, no.
Not that I was aware of. Um...

No, I did not. No.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, for sure.

[Yannick] No, 'cause that's...

That wasn't the intention
of the night.

Uh, the intention was to go out
and enjoy a night out

for James's birthday.

[Erika] Yeah.

So, the intention wasn't to go
and meet anyone,

I never messaged anyone,

I didn't tell a single person
I was out

or intended on doing
anything wrong to the girls,

or disrespectful to the girls.

[background chatter]

[Daniel] Yeah, look,
actually, it's not a smart idea.

[Erika] Oh my god!

[chatter and laughter]

[Patrick] I want more meat.
I love meat.

[Yannick] What?

[Patrick] Guys, just tell her!

-[Alex] Cheers.
-[Elena] Cheers, girls. Cheers.

[Matt] Good to see you all.

-[laughter]
-And you.

Keep bringing the bowtie back,
I'm all about it!

[Matt] I'll keep coming back
every week with it.

[laughter]

So, Lisa, last week's party,

obviously you guys were having
a pretty intense conversation

on the lounge.

Fill us in on your week.

What's happened
since we last spoke?

[Matt] Well...

Look, look, I tried
to get rid of him.

He won't leave, yeah? So...

He tried like, hard.

-Like, ultimatum hard, like...
-He just keeps coming!

Like, "If you doesn't leave,
I'll be gone".

No, so the ultimatum was,

"We'll be exclusive if he packs
his bags and leaves".

Yeah, that's called
'blackmail'.

-[Elena] Wow, Pat. Wow.
-[Leesh] I'd agree. I'd agree.

You know when you know
what you want?

And you've got boundaries?

I think it was more
that you were threatened

by what else was in the house.

Like, I was pretty proud of you,

for essentially taking
his ultimatum

and saying that, "No,
Matt's not going to leave,

and we're not going to be
exclusive, and"...

-You know...
-Yep.

They sort of worked
through it...

Work through communication,
and trust.

...with me there as well.

I've got to know Lisa.

I've got to know
the amazing person she is.

And I know that initial
connection's with Pat,

and that's really hard to break.

But also, she deserves the best.

And then it's sort of
been the question of,

who's going to give her the life
that she deserves?

Yep.

I'm going to steal someone's
seat here.

-I'm, no, no, no...
-[Danny] Sorry, Daniel.

You're alright honey.

No, you're alright.
I'll be good, we can share.

We can share, we can share.

-[Daniel] How are you, darling?
-[Elena] Hi there.

-You alright?
-I'm good, darling. How are you?

-I'm alright.
-How do you feel?

-How do you feel about this?
-It's crazy.

Yeah, crazy!

You want some asparagus?

No, want more broccoli.

-Isn't that asparagus?
-No, it's broccoli.

-Oh no, it's broccolini.
-You've got glasses on.

I know, it's broccolini.
It's broccolini.

It's broccolini.
Why don't you eat?

There's f*cking peanuts in it.
I'm allergic.

There's not,
there's no peanuts in anything.

There's peanuts!

-Excuse me, honey.
-Yes, miss?

Does this have peanuts in it?

-Yep.
-Yeah, do not eat it.

See? See? Lucky.

That's on there! OK.

So, what happens if I eat that,
and then kiss you?

Would you get allergic?

You said, "What happens if I..."

-[Elena] No, no, I didn't.
-[Madi] Do it!

Are you saying you want
to neck on?

[Elena and Madi laughing]

[Yannick laughs]

[Patrick] Yannick's
just sitting there laughing.

He gets away with a lie,

because he can talk his way out
of situations.

But not with me!

Weren't... you were out
with James, right?

Because this is what I've heard.

You were out with him
on the weekend,

you both hooked up with girls.

That's what I heard.

What, what, like same
as everyone else?

Did you just find out about...

That's literally what I heard
just before. She sat here--

What, what did,
what did Madi say to everyone?

Is that... is that truthful?

Well, what did Madi say?
You tell me what Madi said.

I heard that you and James
went out on the weekend,

and you hooked up
with two other girls.

I could be wrong, but I...
that's what I heard.

[Yannick] James and I
did go out.

At the end of the night,
I didn't see...

we met lots of different people
on that night,

and I left and stayed
at a friend's place,

and I didn't see where he went.

And he left.

Yeah, if he...

we obviously, him and I need
to have a conversation

about what's happened
for the rest of the night,

after I said good...
goodnight to him.

And that's a conversation
that him and I can have,

and then whatever I'll have
that conversation with him

will be, how I'll move forward
with that.

Did you hook up
with any females?

No.

[Daniel] Oh, you didn't hook up
with anyone?

No. I was still respecting
this process of this process...

like, this experience.

So, your hands are clean?

No, I, I mean, I, I'm...

I was there, but I wasn't...
I wasn't--

You were there, but you weren't
caught in the act?

-Yeah, I wasn't across...
-OK, yeah.

...any of the
extracurricular...

-Not guilty by association.
-Yeah, yeah.

Clean cut. Smooth.

The fact that they both went out
to have some fun,

and not hook up with any girls,

and not be each other's wingmen,
is a complete lie.

I don't buy any of it!

[Yannick] I don't know
what happened

after I said goodnight to him.

[indistinct]

I don't know what after...
after I said goodnight to him,

I don't know what happened
to him.

That's for him to come and say.

Yep.

[dramatic music plays]

[chatter continues]

-What's going on, guys?
-[Yannick] Hey.

[Madi] I feel sick.

-[James] How you doing?
-[Yannick] You good?

Yeah, I'm alright.

[dramatic music intensifies]

-I just want to check on Madi.
-Yeah, go for it.

Can we have a quick chat?

-Yep.
-Yep.

I'll be back.

Don't you hold back.

Hey. [clears throat]

[James exhales]

Um... I know I, I left
in a, a bit of a hurry today,

which I apologise for.

I was... quite confronted,

and didn't know how to process
a lot of the things

that were going on.

Um, the only reason
I'm here tonight,

is to come and speak to you.

I just want to let you know...

my actions
were very f*cking poor.

And I genuinely am sorry.

Seeing you today, hurt...
Hurt me.

And I would never want

to put anyone through that
again.

Um, I guess what
I want to know from you,

is if there's anything
that you want to ask me?

Uh...

Like, you literally
were messaging,

saying that we weren't going
to be together

outside of this experience.

Like, if you didn't want
to be with me, just say it!

Obviously something did happen
that night.

And I don't care,

there's nothing
that can kind of save this,

so you might as well
just tell me.

Come on, just tell me
the f*cking truth!

We're done now, it's fine.

-Just tell me the truth.
-We did kiss.

[Madi] Yeah. OK.

We did.

Yep.

-And?
-And I'm aware that's...

not acceptable by any means.

You went back to her house!
They've told me.

They... every...
it's a known thing.

You...

Yep.

You--

That's, I mean, I, I... I stayed
at my brother and Greg.

I know that that sounds
f*cking bogus,

because I'm aware--

What do you mean? She...

But why would
she want you that badly

if you only hooked up with her?

Why would she want you
that badly?

-I don't know. I don't... She...
-What the f*ck. No, come on...

-No, no, trust me!
-I deserve this.

-I deserve this.
-You do, you do, you do.

She said to me,

that she'd never been attracted
to someone so much

on the first night
of seeing them

-Oh my god.
-That's what she said.

Are you f*cking kidding me?
You're not god's gift.

You're not!

But if you read the...

that's what she said in the
text messages!

I'm not trying to talk...

You're not telling me
the truth.

I have told you everything
that is the truth!

But what is the truth
anymore, James?

Are you kidding me?!

I thought that you were
telling me the truth last night

and this morning!

What is the truth?

How can you actually sit there
and look at me,

after these last few weeks,
and sit here and say this?!

What do you... do you expect me
to believe this all?!

I don't expect you...
you can believe whatever--

Come on, I'm smarter than this!

You have no idea

of the repercussions
of your actions.

You're wearing the skivvy
I gave you for your birthday.

Like, have you got no shame?

[background chatter continues]

[melancholic music plays]

I guess there's just nothing
to say or do.

You have absolutely
k*lled me inside.

So, I don't know.

It's not a TV show to me.

I, I need to calm down. You...

[background chatter continues]

It's just ridiculous.

Like, I know something
more happened.

But I'm never going to get
the truth from James, ever.

[tearfully] I'm just done.
[sniffing]

[dramatic music plays]

I really feel for Madi tonight.

Madi was visibly
freaking upset,

and that makes me really upset,
to be honest.

Her and James
were so tight, and...

you know, had a bond

that was like, obvious
to everyone in the room.

[background chatter continues]

[Belinda] He cheated on her.

[Daniel] You alright?

Yeah, no, all good mate.
All good.

I just wanted to have a chat
to Madi.

[Belinda] He's just a liar,

and I just hate people
who lie.

Did you only start,

like, talking to someone else
on the weekend, or before that?

-[Madison] Ooh!
-[Daniel] Damn.

What was that, sorry?

Did you only start talking
to someone else on the weekend,

or before that?

I met this person
on the weekend.

And you weren't talking to
anyone else before the weekend?

No.

Did you tell Yann?

Did I tell Yann what?

Did you tell Yann
about the girl on the weekend?

He was with me.

We both kissed these two girls,
myself and Yann.

Hey, I asked you
like an hour ago,

if you knew, and you said no!

You're such a f*cking liar!

-Oh my god, relax! Jesus!
-[other couples chuckling]

You're such... you literally
said "I know nothing.

I want to talk
to James myself".

-I was waiting for him...
-That is what you f*cking said.

You are such a liar.

Truth will set you free.

I literally asked you a question
to your face,

I gave you a second
to give your honest opinion.

I was waiting for James
to get here.

You were waiting,

'cause you obviously
haven't spent any time together!

So, you, obviously
you hadn't had a conversation.

You didn't get to plan that,

you didn't get to act
that scenario out.

You're just a liar!

James and I both kissed
two different people.

-I owe both of you an apology.
-[Elena] Sorry?

But you did say before

that you didn't
see another female,

and then you guys split,
and James acted alone.

[Yannick] Yeah,
so, I, no, no...

But James didn't act alone, bro!

'Cause in that moment,
in that moment I lied,

because James
hadn't got here yet.

So, you did lie?

Yeah.

So, Yann, let me just ask you
a question.

You would not have said
anything to either one of us,

if this situation didn't happen?

James wouldn't
have said something

if he didn't get caught today
by a producer!

There's no way he would have
said anything to me, either.

So, neither one of you would
have said anything?

Only, people only say sh*t
when they get caught.

James hadn't gotten here yet,

he hadn't had a chance
to talk to Madi.

This is a conversation for James
and Madi to have,

not with fifteen other people.

But then, we're all involved
in this, so...

I know.
But like, look at Madi.

She's obviously uncomfortable,

you guys don't give a sh*t
about how she feels.

Oh, no, no, no, do not make it
out to be like that!

[Belinda] Oh, no!

Such a great guy.

[Yannick] Come on, it's not
about... it's not about...

-I know.
-So caring.

Shut up, mate. Shut the f*ck up.

So, you care about everyone?

[Patrick]
Tonight, justice was served.

Yannick was found out. Guilty!

Everyone knew it!

All I said was--

I don't want to hear
your voice, bro.

I don't want to hear
your voice.

If that is not the best moment

throughout this whole
experience,

I don't know was.

[Lisa] No, no!

-It is fair, 'cause I don't...
-Hold on, Lisa.

Honestly, did you see him
backpedal?

[Ben] Alright, guys,
honestly at this point

We're not going to get
anywhere, let's stop.

[Elena] [shouting] Sit down!

Ohh, that's so fulfilling!

-[Elena] Hands up if we...
-[Yannick] Just calm down.

Did nothing. My hands are clean.

I'm going to sleep
so good tonight.

[Narrator] Next time...

[Lisa] Whatever choice I make

will impact
the rest of my life.

[Narrator]
...after six weeks...

[Ly] I need to trust my heart
and go with my gut.

[Narrator] ...the experience
comes to its end.

[Madi] Oh god, what am I doing?

[Narrator] ...and our six
bold singles will decide...

I honestly didn't expect
you to be so beautiful.

[Narrator] ...have they found
a genuine connection?

I just think you're a wonderful,
amazing person.

[Alex] My next relationship's
going to be the last.

So, I can't be wasting time
on something

that I don't think
is going to last forever.

[Narrator] Or, did
they get lost...

[Madi] Cut the bullshit.

You need to tell me
the absolute truth, right now.

-You're such a liar.
-That's your opinion.

It's not my opinion,
it's the fact, mate.

Get over it.

[Narrator]
...in a love triangle.
