Not only do we discover why the participants staged a mass walkout, but an ugly feud between Domenica and Olivia boils over while the couples are away on retreat.

So far, we’ve seen glimpses of conflict between the two brides, but when outspoken Domenica’s attitude towards the other couples becomes too much, Olivia snaps, revealing a side we haven’t seen.

And be warned: it’s more ruthless than you’d expect from the bubbly student teacher.

“I really wanted to stay out of the drama, but nobody was calling Domenica out,” Olivia says.

“I really wanted to stay out of the drama, but nobody was calling Domenica out,” Olivia, 27, tells TV WEEK.

“Other people had enough drama in their relationships that they didn’t want to get involved with her, but I couldn’t stomach it anymore.”

Although Domenica had reservations about Olivia too, being on the receiving end of her outburst came as a shock.

“The horrendous things Olivia said to me were completely uncalled for and made me feel very vulnerable to emotions I’ve been dealing with from my childhood,” Domenica, 28, says.

“I was very triggered emotionally from her comments, which were used in the most hateful way possible.”

Domenica says she was “triggered emotionally” by what Olivia said to her.

In hindsight, Olivia admits it wasn’t her finest hour, and that even her husband Jackson wasn’t impressed with how she behaved.

“Jackson backs me 100 per cent, but he definitely calls me out on my behaviour when it goes too far, and viewers will see that,” Olivia says.

“I do need to be kept in line – I have a really nasty streak. I always try to do the right thing, but my mouth has a mind of its own and I can get quite mean.

“I can admit when I’m wrong, I can apologise when I’m wrong, but I do have flaws.”

For Domenica, the altercation was Olivia showing her true colours.

“I don’t think she’s a very nice person at all,” she says.

“Hiding her real personality behind a wholesome facade came crashing down after a few weeks into the experiment.”

While viewers will get the opportunity to make up their own minds this week, Olivia declares she hates the way Domenica is being portrayed on the show as she watches the series back.

“I think it’s absolutely disgusting that she’s getting a hero edit when she’s been revolting to her husband and other cast members,” she says.

“In all the major issues, Domenica is the common denominator.”
