The men (Aaron Erb, Brian Autz, Devin Strader, Grant Ellis, Jeremy Simon, Jonathon Johnson, Sam Nejad, and Marvin Goodly) get "roasted" during a comedy show on one of the group dates. Aaron seizes the opportunity to confront Devin for previously taking Jenn away from the group date, seeing it as a perfect moment to address their differences.

This date takes place at the St Kilda's Sports Club during the Melbourne Comedy Festival. Australian comedian Bec Charlwood hosts the men's event, adding her unique humor to the evening's entertainment. During the roast, Aaron directed his jokes at Devin, saying, "Devin….you look like the budget Pete Davidson…..that means without the dick and sense of humor."
