Chris came into the experiment sceptical until he found a match in Brook.
The two were off to a slow but steady start until a video from Chris’ past left Brook “appalled”.

“There’s things and actions that Chris has done that I can’t move past,” said Brook during the second Commitment Ceremony.
She was referring to the groom’s audition tape that revealed a side to Chris his wife didn’t want to know.

Brook put her and Chris’ relationship strongly in the friend zone. Talking around his growing feelings for Brook, Chris said he knew things wouldn’t work between them in the experiment.
“It’s the fact that it won’t on the outside either, Chris,” Brook replied.
As Brook was being held accountable by the experts for her actions at the second Dinner Party, the bride declared she needed a toilet break. She was gone.
Chris was done and walked out too.

Steve disagreed, saying they had a “personality clash” which John called a “cop out” excuse.
