experts! I don’t care which one! Anyone else feel like they’re not going ? I need them to .
Um, how did and become the cutest couple in this entire ? Remind me to cheat on someone in my next relationship.
Is that another vape?
Breaking news: Bunnings Daddy () frequents the Opera Bar — where the butt-dial happened — so maybe take Darling Harbour off your upcoming Sydney itinerary, yeah?
thinks the butt-dial is bullshit but all I’m hearing is she’s upset she’s not the centre of attention anymore.
thinks it’s hot that is a strong and confident woman who will speak up. I guess it helps that is, you know, actually hot?
Want to hear something interesting? It turns out has been called a cunt before, but her ex-boyfriends did it to her face.
is hurt by Dan’s actions but is stressed that if she writes leave she will never see Dan again. I hate that this is relatable and I hate that Sandy might stay to be tortured some more.
Alright, enough teasing, it’s Commitment Ceremony time.
First up are Claire and Jesse and expert is so very proud of Claire’s efforts to make Jesse’s walls come down.
Jesse felt “prioritised”, “considered” and “wanted” this week. I’m going to add those things to my relationship checklist stat even though they feel like the bare minimum.
Jesse’s ready to forgive Claire and likes her “the most ever”. The experts want to know if they’ve been getting more intimate.
They’ve been kissing, much to Mel’s delight.
However… Claire wants to focus on emotional depth. This sounds like something you say when you like someone but don’t know if you want to have sex with them.
“Let’s talk more, and let’s touch more,” Jesse suggests. Think about the creepiest person you know saying this exact same sentence before you decide that’s funny.
Jesse wrote “stay metal”? If Claire was cautious about the hanky panky with him before, I’m sure this was a real nail in the coffin.
Holy shit I am traumatised:
Claire chose to stay too and fuck me dead can someone make it stop?
Sandy and Dan’s turn. RIP HIM, experts.
Dan is owning what he said about Sandy not being his type but it hurts his heart or some shit.
Sandy tells the experts that their relationship wasn’t great even before the butt-dial, because after they slept together he pulled back.
“You said we’d take sex off the table because it makes me too emotional,” Sandy tells him.
What a disgusting, disgusting thing to say. Can someone explain the concept of oxytocin to this man?
expert looks like she is going to do a murder.
Alessandra reminds Dan that last week he said he wasn’t sexually attracted to Sandy, yet had sex with her the next morning.
Alessandra is confused about how that changed overnight, to which Dan replies that emotional purging paired with a cuddle turned into a moment where they became “one”. Ew.
Sandy said her feelings grew after having sex — yep, this is what happens, it’s science! — and then felt hurt when Dan pulled away.
Alessandra and Sandy are bonding over the fact that she was stitched up and why is Dan’s “shit, I’m getting a bad edit” face so hysterical?
Dan is indirectly bringing up that he can go in the ocean and Sandy can’t. expert shuts that nonsense down quick-smart and lets Dan know that the love of the ocean is not an important element in a relationship.
John says values and communication styles and literally anything else are more important than a shared love of the ocean. “Yeah, ok,” Dan replies, clearly because he knows it’s true.
Sandy says they have the same five-year plan and values but Bunnings Daddy has an opinion, of course.
It’s decision time. “Daniel” first, according to John and his use of full Christian naaahms. He turns to Sandy and says he was hoping for someone who could participate in ocean activities with him, which no doubt includes having a marg at Ravesis and watching people come out of the ocean.
He says he thinks they’re more friends than anything else and that’s a fucked thing to say to someone you just had sex with, isn’t it? He leaves!
“The beach and the ocean’s calling me, I have to go home,” Dan says.
Actually deceased.
Sandy’s turn! Holy shit Dan just tried to comfort her and she literally moved her shoulder away from his arm. It’s the best piece of television I’ve seen since the last .
She wrote “leave” and I’m so proud of her! Why are so many women just getting completely shat on and humiliated this season? It’s not entertainment it’s just downright worrying areas from producers at this point.
Sandy’s last words include telling him that he is basically superficial and if he got to know her, he would’ve liked her.
Rupert and Evelyn both stay. Don’t come at me, they were boring.
Bronte and Harrison are up to the Ouch Couch and Alessandra tells Bronte how concerned Bunnings Daddy was about her endo-dometriosis.
Bronte, who can pronounce endometriosis correctly, says her past partners haven’t been as supportive as Bunnings Daddy with her condition.
She says past partners have told her she will be a bad mum? What the fuck. Here I was thinking cheaters were bad people.
Bunnings Daddy has become a feminist, it seems, and doesn’t think any woman should be told that! He’d be right, but forgive me if I don’t think he’s being sincere.
He thinks Bronte will be a great mum!
That’s why she met Bunnings Daddy’s son! WTF are these two playing at?
The experts are as surprised and concerned as I am.
Hold up. Claire is as surprised and concerned as I am.
Bunnings Daddy says he is falling for Bronte but the music suggests otherwise. “She’s just a great gal,” he says.
“I’m definitely falling for Harrison,” she says. No one is buying this.
Bunnings Daddy continues to tell the experts that their “intimacy” is “wild”. Look, it’s better than Dan describing his sex with Sandy as “nice”, I guess.
They stay. If there wasn’t stuff about them in the press, would editors have used lovey-dovey music and cute reactions instead of whatever that was?
and are up to the Ouch Couch and John tells Layton straight away that he’s full of shit.
Bunnings Daddy is giving unsolicited commentary in the same fashion he (likely) sends other unsolicited things. But John’s not having it.
“There is some whispering going on over there. What’s the story?” John asks.
Bunnings Daddy tells Layton he doesn’t seem happy. “Just tell me, what is going on,” John begs.
Mel says it’s draining to be with a know-it-all like herself. She does, however, want the relationship to move forward but she “can’t figure it out”.
Melinda says in the past this relationship would be over. This is why I need to go on this show! To force someone to love me!
John orders the CEOs to come to their decisions. They decide it’s “crunch time” with an impending deadline so they will work their hardest to yield the results they need. John will circle back and touch base soon.
Next up is the only couple with a fighting chance at a future after . says he is falling in love with and is “really stoked” with where they’re at. Could’ve fooled me!
and . Let’s talk about some non-hugs and mummy issues, shall we? Fun!
Cam tells the experts that mummy told him Lyndall was insecure.
Cam defends mummy and her disdain for anyone and anything that exists in the city.
John tells Cam he is being a big child, especially in his delivery.
They start fighting on the couch about whether or not Cam should’ve stood up to his mummy.
If they think they’ve got relationship problems, just wait until they analyse Cam’s posture.
Decision time. He literally brought his mum into it again by saying she didn’t raise no quitter. I think. I don’t know — the man mumbles, hey? Translation: they both stay.
and Prince Eric () are up and apparently they’ve had some hard discussions this week. Alyssa is concerned they’re not endgame because she’s never had a relationship while she’s been a single mum.
She wonders why he would want to date a single mum when he could date someone without a child. As a woman, I can understand how she would think this. Prince Eric says all the perfect things as per usual and they both choose to stay.
and are up and why are they playing horror music? Forget I asked, I know exactly why. She looks a bit like Cinderella in that pastel-blue dress, no?
Tayla doesn’t have too much to say tonight so Hugo has to carry the relationship… again.
Hugo tells John that he vented about Tayla to the boys and that it was all caught on a butt-dial. But he says “butt-dial” with “air quotes” as if to say that it was fabricated, which pisses Evelyn right off.
“There was a butt-dial!” Evelyn says.
Bunnings Daddy is now questioning what Evelyn heard on the butt-dial, which prompts Hugo to question it a little bit more than he already has. “I just don’t know how a butt-dial gets through facial ID, a locked screen on an iPhone.”
Rupert is speaking up and I love this from him!
“I don’t believe it happened,” Bunnings Daddy says, even though he has nothing to do with this drama. At all.
Someone tells him that of course he doesn’t because he’s not involved in this and he loves to be involved.
John calls for order in his ceremony.
Hugo says he likes Tayla but he “feels real insecure around her”. I wonder why!
He kissed her on the cheek once and that pissed her right off because she had told him previously to “not make advances like that”.
John asks if anyone else kissed her on the cheek last night.
Everyone answers on Tayla’s behalf.
Layton “probably might have” done it too.
Tayla can’t understand why she’s copping the brunt of John right now. “I truly think that I’ve made a bit more of an effort than Hugo,” she tells the experts.
John asks Tayla how she’s contributing to the issues in this relationship.
She doesn’t know, and John tells her s the problem.
Hugo, however, can list out all the things that he can do better. “I’m literally just flailing around kind of terrified,” he tells the experts.
Tayla thinks it’s funny in a ridiculous way. She thinks she’s never said anything to him that he should be upset or scared about, that he’s putting on an act and that the one who’s been hurt.
They go to a decision because it’s basically a lost cause. Are we not going to talk about the c-word? OK, here we go, Tayla chose to leave because of him calling her that.
He regrets what he said but he wants to stay so he can call her a cunt less and kiss her cheeks less.
“I’m not staying, I’m going back to Tassie,” she claims.
John tells them that they will stay another week and they can go back to the group. But Tayla walks out anyway.
See you tomorrow night when people will no doubt call each other cunts some more.
