Yes Week: one partner in each couple takes all the power for one week and sparks one amazing revelation.
Hmm … secret son? A nice guy is actually a douche? Mel was hiding the fact she teaches yoga and has a collection of healing crystals?
Should they stay or should they go? How many more Instagram likes does continuing on the show guarantee them? It’s the Martied at First Sight commitment ceremonies.
This will be the night where Cam and Jules and Mr Virgin and his bride think “what the hell is going on – we just had the luckiest escape”.
I fully expect jilted Elizabeth to do a Miss Havisham and turn up in her wedding dress. Just keep her away from flames.
The blurb says: Australia’s most controversial social experiment continues. Who will marry Matt, the 29-year-old virgin, and is Sam really too good looking for love?
Please tell me they have not matched Matt with someone totally unsuitable. Nah, MAFS would NEVER do that. The experts know their love stuff.
For those of you who missed it, here is Maz’s excellent recap of the last episode (ta, Maz):
And so we come to our honeymoons because if you are going to endure the Tinder date from hell you may as well rack up the room charges.
Ning realises that she may have applied for the wrong reality show. With her obsession with food and Hot n Cold nature she deeply regrets not applying for Masterchef where abandonment and single parent status would at least have guaranteed her Top 10. Instead she is stuck with some ancient guy in her home country sipping on her cocktails praying that there is delectable fresh meat on offer come Dinner Party Time. Mark, as Daisy has pointed out, must have had some terrible dates in the past to remain this (albeit slightly now tempered) optimistic.
Heidi has a back catalogue of issues that she has not quite worked through and Mike is so not interested. Mike’s mind drifts back to the uncomplicated 20 something he probably screwed last summer and vows never to date someone over 25 again. As he utters the words “I am not a therapist”, Mike realises that he is not closing the deal tonight and may actually need to pretend to care if he it to get any action while under contractual obligation with Channel Nine.
Jessika, 27, laments that she has been paired with someone SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO old as at the geriatric age of 31 Mick can’t quite position the phone quite right to capture all her fillers. Downing a beer, Mick begins to suspect Jessika might be more interested in her Instagram profile than him. When asked, Jessika loses it and storms off not before ensuring the camera captured her chest from every angle. Angry that she has been rumbled she sniffs that Mick is too rough for her. Kettle met Pot.
Melissa still can’t understand a word Dino’s says and Google Translate is no help. Flower, anyone?
Jules and Cam get wet and Cam reluctantly replies in the affirmative to the children question buying himself some time.
Nic’s storyline is all about the cancer and whether of not he will tell Cyrell. Alas, this is where the recording cut out.
Married at First sight and MKR debuting on the same night. It will be interesting to see who wins the ratings – MKR should win but MAFS will get a fair chunk of viewers.
MAFS screens 7.30pm Monday on Nine and continues Tues, Wed and Thurs.
All 11 couples reunite for one last dramatic dinner party.
Tues: Couples have their final dates before they go home to decide whether or not renew their vows.
Wed: At the final dinner party, the remaining couples are tested to their limits with the Honesty Box.
“Partner swap. The couples are split and individuals are teamed up with another partner to discuss their relationship status. Two of the experiment’s biggest personalities face off.”
In place of “to discuss their relationship status” insert “to stir up trouble AKA ratings gold”.
“The final commitment ceremony: the remaining couples must decide whether or not they want to renew their wedding vows and pursue a life together outside the experiment.”
Even though it says final commitment ceremony, there are actually quite a few more episodes yet to air, so plenty of time left for brutish behaviour.
Tonight on #MAFS, Carly won’t take silence as an answer. 🙅🤐 pic.twitter.com/PZ0UGShGe1
