As a result, they were ridiculed by fellow groom Danny, who joked that men used to “die in trenches” but now they hid in toilets to avoid talking to a woman.<\/p>\n

But speaking to nine.com.au<\/a>, David said Danny was in on the plan all along.<\/p>\n

As a group, the grooms had attempted to get out of the task, but when that failed, they instead made a pact.<\/p>\n

“The agreement was, we’ll sit for two minutes and then we’d all get up and leave,” David explained.<\/p>\n

He assumed his co-star “just wanted his moment on camera” by mocking his fellow grooms.<\/p>\n

“Danny acted like we dogged him when he was the one who just wanted to sit there and enjoy the time with the girls, essentially,” he said.<\/p>\n

Despite this, David said he had no regrets about how he personally did the task.<\/p>\n

“I know Danny was taking the piss saying, ‘Oh, they’re scared to sit with a woman’ \u2013 I work with women, I have a mum, sister, I’m happy to talk to women,” David said.<\/p>\n

“But the task was to meet with someone who was my potential replacement of Alissa. That was the task. So I didn’t participate, and I’d do it all over again.”<\/p>\n

After taking off his wedding ring, David said he was close to leaving the experiment and returning home to Brisbane.<\/p>\n
