MAFS 2025 Episode 6 Recap: Tim lights gas at the debut dinner party

We couldn’t even get through our first Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2025 dinner party without an unhealthy dose of gaslighting. A lot of the MAFS 2025 couples seem chummy, whether that’s an act or not, but not everyone’s rainbows and followers. What fun would that be? Let’s focus on the two couples who have gone to shit for this MAFS recap instead.

Eliot has somehow gotten worse

Eliot with one l and one t has made the horrible decision of meeting with the one and only John Aiken. Our master reminds Eliot that even though he’s good-looking, he’s 35 and single for a reason.

Eliot disagrees with literally everything John says, but not before stating that he wanted a young librarian and got an old Kardashian.

He never showed up to the dinner party, and for that, I am #grateful.

Tim’s not done messing with Katie’s MAFS 2025 experience

Katie rocked up to the dinner party alone, truly looking like she could start crying at any given moment. She relayed what happened between the pair, but politely asked everyone to go easy on Tim if he showed up at the dinner party.

When Tim showed up, he and Katie spoke away from the group, and everything seemed amicable. He told Katie that her saying hello made her “go up” in his “books,” which is gross.

This is not about her being good enough for you. Has this man stopped to wonder whether or not she even likes him?

During dinner, Tim starts laughing at Lauren’s misfortune as some kind of messed up benchmark for how he’s not so bad after all.

He then accuses Katie of not trying to get to know him. UM. Did we all watch the same episode where Katie had to clutch at boring shit like photography and fishing to get the man to talk?

Even then, he didn’t want to share anything of himself, even though he’s apparently been sharing a lot of himself to other women during this same period.

Because Tim has already done a spectacular job at making Katie feel terrible about herself, she starts to believe that maybe she is the problem (she’s not).

She starts calling herself a “rookie” at relationships, which might be true, but her inexperience is not the issue here. Tim’s ability to take advantage of someone who’s feeling insecure is. It’s horrible.

Luckily, many people at the dinner table can see what a manipulator he’s being and start testing him. Carina asks about his honeymoon, but all Tim wants to talk about is Vanuatu.

I know they got an overseas holiday and he got a domestic one, but I refuse to believe this bloke cares that much about two people who aren’t blonde, petite and quiet like he so desires.

Tim cracks the shits and leaves because his terrible plan didn’t work. Here’s hoping he never returns and that Katie will receive a wonderful replacement.
