06x09 - To Bri or Not to Bri

[bunniefuu]

[Lana chimes]

♪ Is that the fire to my heart? ♪

[Desiree] Man, I can't believe
it's almost the end of the retreat!

Feels like only yesterday

Charlie and Katherine
were about to break up.

-There you are!
-Woo!

[Desiree] Oh, wait. It was only yesterday.

But then, they joined
the green light club, baby!

-We got the green light!
-[all cheering]

Me and Katherine opened up to each other,
and she's actually forgiven me,

even though I messed up with Sabrina.

I'm buzzing!

[cheering]

Guilt-free kissing.

[Charlie] I learned something new today.

My best instrument is honesty.

Yes!

[Desiree] Seems like our couples

are approaching
the finish line flourishing.

-Honesty is a great policy.
-[Katherine] Very true.

It's not easy to forgive
from personal experience, trust me.

[Desiree] And floundering.

I'm feeling really sad
because I've told Joao the truth

about what happened with me and Jalen,
and he told me that he doesn't know

how he would move forward
in the future with me.

Are you okay?

I mean, like, the chat didn't go
how I expected at all.

Yeah, I think he was hurt
that you even explored something else

because he probably has never felt, like,
threatened since he met you.

But I...

At the same time,
I feel like I'm self-sabotaging.

When I usually find a good guy,
I push that person away

because I'm afraid that I might get hurt.

The workshop made me realize
that I can't run away from my fears,

so I really hope things aren't ruined
with me and Joao.

[tense music playing]

[Gianna] We only have
a few more days left in this retreat.

So, hold off.

I'm glad you guys got the green light
and that you're out of the doghouse,

but no rule breaks tonight.

Okay?

I'll be good.

I'm looking forward
to having Charlie back in my bed tonight,

but I'm definitely
gonna have my walls up a little more.

I've already been hurt by him once, so
I'm hoping he doesn't mess this up again.

I will be good.

Good night.

-[Katherine] Goodnight!
-[Lucy] Goodnight!

I'm honest and accountable,

[Joao] Chris?

[Desiree] Here we go.

Time for the big Chris & Tell!

No.

[Desiree] Or not.

[Chris] I feel bad
because we are nearing the end.

Like, why the hell are you spending money?

But I don't feel guilty for kissing her
because she's got amazing lips,

and she's a very relaxed, cool individual.

Absolutely sensational,
you know what I mean?

Oh, they're gonna k*ll us.

[chimes]

[upbeat music playing]

[Lana] Good morning, guests!

-Good morning, Lana!
-Morning!

[Lana] As the retreat is coming to an end...

-Aw, man!
-[Gianna] Oh, no.

[Lana] ...it is time for our
established couples to go on a date.

[cheering]

[Katherine] Yay!

Yeah, boy! Woo!

[Chris] Thank you, Lana!

I'm absolutely buzzin'
to go on a date with Sab.

Time away from the guys
to actually really get to know her.

[Lana] Use this opportunity to figure out
if what you have is real

and can last in the outside world.

[yawns]

[Flavia] Lana, you couldn't pick
a better time for us to go on a date

because of all the couples in here,
we need it the most.

[Lana] Every couple, that is,

apart from the one
who broke my rules last night.

What?

[Lucy] Oh!

[Gianna] Oh my God!

No! No!

We f*cked up here.

[Gianna] Oh f*ck!

[Joao] Does anyone
have anything to confess?

[Katherine] I didn't do anything.

-Best behavior.
-[Lucy] Anyone else?

Come on now.

I haven't broken any rules, so who was it?

Chris?

Oh God. [chuckles]

[tense music builds]

We kissed a little bit.

Oh, sh*t.

-[Gianna] Oh, f*ck.
-[clicks tongue]

How hard is it
to just not break the rules?

-What's, like, a little bit? Like...
-Just a little thing. A small thing.

-A peck.
-Yeah.

You're such a liar.

What do you mean such a liar?
I'm telling you the truth now.

Really, Chris? Come on!

Chris, I get it, yeah.

It's been hard for you
watching everyone do their thing,

but I'm just gonna come out here
and say that I don't think that's fair

because it's late into the retreat.

[Sabrina] But we have a new connection.

Exactly.

I feel guilty for being less disciplined
than I know I could have been,

but I was good for so long.

This is honeymoon period we're in now.

[Lana] Chris and Sabrina's kiss
has cost the group $6,000.

[Gianna] Six grand.

That's his first money he spent.

[Lana] The prize fund
now stands at $125,000.

Apologies, guys.

Gutted that we're not going on a date,
but moving forward,

I'm gonna use the time that I have

to solidify the connection
that I've got with Sabrina.

[Lana] Charlie and Katherine,
Bri and Demari.

Your dates will be taking place
this afternoon.

Thank you, Lana.

Very excited to go on this date because
there's something I want to ask Bri,

and this is the perfect moment.
This is a really big deal.

[Lana] Joao, it is clear

that you have a lot of thinking to do
about what you want,

which is why your date with Flavia
will be later tonight.

[Joao] My head
is all over the place right now.

I need to have a serious think

about whether we continue
the relationship or not.

I need time to process this.

[Lana] Goodbye.

-Bye, Lana!
-Goodbye, Lana.

[Desiree] Oh, yeah!
I love end-of-season date day!

-[Flavia] Yeah, true.

because I could tell how sorry he was.

But being here is very much different
from being outside of this retreat.

[Chris] You look
like you're in a good mood, mate.

[Demari] Yeah, man.
Uh, so, I think Bri is a really good girl.

And, uh, we connect so easily,
so well, it's like instant.

So I'm gonna ask her to be my girlfriend.

I feel like that's the next step.

-Well, well done, sir.
-[both laughing]

Nah, I'm happy for you, man.

This retreat has changed me a lot.

I'm a lot more considerate,
respectful, and honest.

I'm serious about Bri,
and I wanna take that next step with her.

But at the same time,
I'm, like, scared, I guess.

What if, on the outside,
the old Demari comes back?

[poignant music playing]

-She's gonna add so much to your life.
-I appreciate it, bro, but hold on.

-What? Me and Sabs?
-How are you and Sabs? How's that?

She's a very good girl, man.

-[Demari] Yeah.
-[Chris] Very cute girl.

Great nyash.

But I think she's a bit more than that.
She's a girl with a great heart.

Yeah, you think you could see it
continuing after this?

-For sure.
-To get to know each other?

For sure, man. And I'm excited to see
how this journey's changed me as a person.

-But I've learned from each of you.
-Same.

Establishing relationships,

my mum,

doing things that I'm meant to do.

In this retreat,
what I've come to realize is that

the connection that I lack with others

probably stemmed
through the connection I lack with my mum.

But seeing the other couples
finding connections,

it's made me
kind of admit to myself my faults.

And now I want to see what happens
on the outside with me and Sabrina.

I never felt this way
about another girl. It's mad.

And I hope that everything we've learned
stays with us.

-Exactly.
-You know?

And we don't just go out and go back
to being the same. It's easy to do that.

So easy to go back to the old life
and go back to being that same person.

Yeah.

Retreat's ending soon,

Yeah. That's gonna be the hardest test
for any of these couples on the outside.

Who do you think is going to last
outside of this?

I think Bri and Demari will do well.

I will say for Demari, he's so settled,

which shocks me because whenever
we were having that conversation day one,

we were talking about it, he's like,
"I don't really want to settle down."

-Yeah.
-"I'm not ready."

-"That's why my brother sent me here."
-And he did mess up.

He's gonna have to make a serious effort

and a serious decision on
whether or not he wants to grow with her

or continue to grow by himself.

Yeah.

[gentle music playing]

[vocalizing]

I couldn't be more ready
or more excited to go on this date,

but I'm a little nervous as well.

If I'm going to commit to a relationship,
I have to be 100% sure.

Look at this view.
Like, this is crazy, ain't it?

I set all of this up for you.

-[Bri] You did all this for me? [laughs]
-I did all of this!

No. But I did do this, though.

Yeah.

When my brother nominated me to come here,

I feel like you're the exact
type of person that he had me looking for.

I can actually see what I've been missing.

I feel like if you came home,
you, like, met my family,

they would absolutely
welcome you with open arms,

and you would fit in really well.

[sighs] I feel like me and you
have built something, but this is...

[Bri] My trust level for Demari
is about 80%.

I'm hoping Demari
will give me the reassurance

to get it all the way up to 100.

If not, I'm not sure
I want to move forward with him.

[Charlie] I've got a lot going on
in my head going into this date.

I definitely want to see Katherine
outside of this retreat,

but I've never had
a long-distance relationship in my life.

I know that I'm a flirty person, and there
may be temptations in the outside world.

I don't wanna mess things up,
but I have to be honest with my feelings.

I need to be honest
with Katherine as well.

[laughing]

Oh, you're a goof.

I do want to be with Charlie
outside of here,

but this date is so important for Charlie

to prove to me that
the old cheeky Charlie is gone.

I need to trust that he's not going
to turn his head outside of here.

I wish, like,

you know, we could have made
this connection from the start.

I don't think we can regret
not doing this from the start.

-Yeah.
-Having the journey was important for us.

Do you know what I mean? So I'm glad
that we can now have this time together.

It's not been the smoothest of journeys
with me and you, and definitely...

Yeah, no, it hasn't.

Yeah, and I know that I've messed
things up with your trust a little bit...

-Yeah.
-...and I was dishonest...

And...

Yeah, that's all I want is just honesty,

and I don't want to be lied to again
because or else, like, you know,

I am going to leave the situation.

Yeah.

And I guess where it gets difficult is,

obviously, on the outside,
we live far away.

My problem is that I know that
I would self-sabotage relationships.

I know that I wouldn't really
give my all into them,

and being loyal is gonna be harder
when we're in different countries.

that Charlie isn't gonna come out again?

[Desiree] This is supposed to be
the romantic part.

Honestly, still very confused
by the whole situation with Flavia.

So, I need to get some advice
from my boy, Cristian.

I know she didn't go
out of her way to hurt me.

I know she was dealing with her problems
in the only way she knew how to,

and I forgive her for that.

But, obviously, puts a little thing
in the back of a guy's mind, like,

if you can't do this in here,
would this work on the outside?

The workshop taught me, in the past,

sometimes I can create
idealizations in my head of what, like,

a perfect situation would be, and I end up
projecting that onto my partner.

And when reality happens,
I get frustrated.

It's not something simple to deal with,

but that's what
I'm trying to do different in here.

[Cristian] I know it's hard for her
right now, but what do you want?

Do I like Flavia? Yes.

Do I feel like I have feelings for her?
Absolutely.

Do I feel like we connected
on a deeper level other than just surface?

-Yes, everyone saw that.
-Yeah, absolutely.

It was very visible.

But I feel like one of the biggest things
that I had to do coming in here

is learn how to be honest
and do the hard thing.

It's kind of like a night
to make a decision.

-[Cristian] Yeah.
-Do I wanna give this a go when we leave?

So, it honestly could go two ways, right?

-Time to face reality.
-Very tough.

[Desiree] Looks like Chris has set up
his own date with Sabrina.

Man, that guy has got all the moves!

I don't even know how to play chess.

[Desiree] Let's just hope he doesn't make
a chess of it. I mean, mess of it.

So, Queen is
the most powerful piece on this board.

-Why?
-'Cause she's just beautiful.

That's why she's my favorite piece.

-She's your favorite piece?
-My favorite.

[laughing]

[Chris] I can definitely see myself

in a relationship
with somebody like Sabrina.

And now, I just kind of
want to tell her how I feel.

And I want to know
if she's feeling the exact same way.

In the outside world,
I don't know about you,

I'd rather kind of cut things off
before things start to get a bit serious.

-Serious?
-Do you know what I mean?

-What were you like?
-I wasn't really an open book.

I'd give you the best time for a day,
and then never see you again.

Because I can't lie,
what I struggle with is love.

-Damn.
-How to...

How to give it, you know? It's weird.
It's a weird concept, isn't it?

-Because you...
-You don't seem like that.

No.

But...

you bring out a different energy

Before the retreat, I'll say
I was the guy you were speaking about.

Um...

Cheating, lying, doing everything
that was just kind of wrong.

That's one of the reasons why I came here,
why my brother sent me here,

-because I have been that guy. And...
-Mm-hmm.

[poignant music playing]

[Demari] I apologize
for hurting you in that moment.

It was just, like, my confusion.

This literally was me self-sabotaging
and doing the same things I always do.

I was wrong for what I did.

I feel like this retreat has really
given me a lot of things to build on, um...

The womb workshop,

that one really made me change the way
that I was viewing you and treating you.

It opened me up to the idea
of having something long-term.

I really do love what we have here.

So, uh...

I would absolutely like to continue this.
And going forward,

the connection that we built,
I don't want to run away from it anymore.

messing things up in the outside world,

but that doesn't mean
I don't really like Katherine.

She's so amazing.
So I want to make it work.

I've just got to try
to let her know how I feel.

If you really do like someone,
you should be like,

-"I wanna see how this goes in the world."
-Yeah.

Wassup?!

-Hi!
-Hi!

[Jalen] Damn! Where y'all been?

[Katherine] On our date!

Yeah! Thirsty! And y'all matching!

Let's talk about us. So...

[laughing]

-So we got another green light.
-Okay!

-Second green light!
-Pretty proud of ourselves.

-You look very happy.
-I am really happy.

[Katherine gasping]

Ah!

-Hi!
-[Charlie] Promoted!

Hey, where the hell y'all been at?

-Where have you been?!
-[Charlie] So how was the date?

You know how stuff usually goes for us.
We got the green light at the end.

[cheering]

-[Chris] Third green light!
-Three for three!

And then Demari...

made Bri-mari official!

[all screaming]

[upbeat music playing]

[Chris] Demari and Bri.
Super happy for them.

That's a fusion.
Not even just a connection.

[all cheering]

Yay! I am so happy for Bri and Demari!
Officially official!

Three, two, one...

Bri-mari!

[Desiree] I don't mean to be
a party pooper,

but we might need
to put the champagne on ice

'cause Joao and Flavia
are heading for the Last Chance Saloon.

I am feeling so stressed right now
'cause Joao has been keeping his distance,

but I'm just going
to go into this date and fight for us

'cause I feel like
we've been building something special,

and I just don't want to throw it away.

-Flavia and Joao are on a date right now.
-How do you reckon it's going?

He felt nervous because
he was just very much on the fence.

What?

[Lucy] Ah!

-[Cristian] Yeah.
-No.

-If you're saying that, it's over.
-[Gianna] Life's too short for that.

Cheers to a great date.

[Joao] Coming into this retreat,

usually, I would take the easy way out
and just ghost girls.

But this is one of those situations
where I can break my pattern,

have a conversation with her,
and make a decision.

So... we're coming
to the end of the retreat.

Mm-hmm.

And it makes me wonder, like,
what are we doing?

For me, I'm grateful
for the chance that I have with you,

to get to know you on a deeper level
and get to know the real Joao.

We made a good connection.
We got the green light.

That was great. It felt good to be able
to let my walls down with somebody.

I feel like we put an effort
to build something special in here,

and I... I'm going to treasure
these moments.

It was hard to, like,
not run away of my feelings

because that's what I usually do.

And I'm trying to start listening
to my heart and follow what I feel,

which is also something new for me.

-Yeah.
-And scary, of course.

And I can't, uh... I can't believe
that I'm saying this. [laughs]

I mean, like, for me,

this is something we might be able
to explore in the real world,

and we can actually make it work.

-My cuddle buddy.
-Yeah.

[giggling]

Talking about
all the great moments we had,

now I'm thinking I might have been
a little too hard on Flavia.

Maybe I should give it a go.

I feel like we were very solid and stable
until Jalen came.

I'm not going to lie.
That did hurt me a lot.

[melancholy music playing]

It did put a lot of doubts in my mind.

Flavia just started talking
about this Jalen situation.

This is a wake-up call.

But that was me always messing things up,
running away from...

uh, my fear, which is commitment.

I get it.

But it really doesn't change the fact
that it made me feel

like I wasn't worth the respect of,
like, not flirting with anybody else

when you know I like you
because I've been very vocal about it.

-We live very far away from each other.
-Mm-hmm.

And... like,

if it was that simple for somebody
to walk in and for you to be like,

"Oh, I kind of like him.
I'm going to go talk to him,"

how would it be on the outside?

-It was, like, a real test for me.
-Yeah.

And I feel like it was very important
to go through that moment

so I can really know how I feel about you.

Yeah.

And that made me realize that I do have
strong feelings for you, and I like you.

How do you think their date's going?
Do you think that after the retreat,

they'll be able to keep things alive?

I think the workshop really helped her
see, like, what her issues were.

So, if Joao was open,
they will work it out.

He deffo cares about her. He's been
smitten since the day she walked in.

I'd say 50-50.

-[Chris] 50-50?
-Yeah.

Can I play us a song?

I feel like it kind of fits.

Okay.

Going into this date,
it was hard for me to make my decision.

Probably one of the toughest decisions
I've ever had to make in my life,

but I know what I'm going to do.
