There’s only one Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2025 couple we need to recap from Episode 7 and that’s Miss New Zealand (Jacqui) and Ryan: Warrior Princess (Ryan).
Things kick off horribly for Jacqui and Ryan, quite literally, when Ryan gets his shoes on the couch, bed and presumably other places Miss NZ believes shoes should not go.
Feet might make people small fortunes, but she’s not wrong: they are upsetting.
Miss NZ thinks he “is a low-effort man” and cries over this. By “this”, I mean the fact there’s a TV in the room, but at this point, it’s hard to know what’s jerked the tears.
Ryan and Jacqui’s MAFS photo ranking challenge ruins lives
Ryan: Warrior Princess only makes matters worse when he doesn’t pick Miss NZ first in the godforsaken photo challenge. He doesn’t pick her second, either. Just when she thinks she’s been picked third, he clarifies that it’s actually an equal third with Sierah, following Rhi and Carina.
He just wants to be honest! And she just wants to be validated! She mentions the Miss NZ thing again, just to hammer home that she is, in fact, a hot model, whether Ryan can see that or not.
Anyway, she cries. I think this brings her MAFS 2025 experiment tear tally up to four. I can’t wait for the Commitment Ceremonies!
She is very shitty about not being seen for the hot pageant queen she is, so she decides to seek out revenge on her poet warrior. When he asks what her ex was like, she tells Ryan: Warrior Princess that the tall blonde she used to date had a “god-like body”.
She’s not done! She continues to twist the knife by saying she would’ve happily said yes if her god-like blonde proposed to her. Then she smiles sadistically upon receiving her sweet revenge for not being crowned the hottest of MAFS 2025.
Adrian continues to confuse everyone incl. Awhina
In other news, Adrian made Awhina an appreciation jar where they could share the things they appreciated about one another that week. It would’ve been cute if he didn’t fuck it by unleashing his mummy issues yet again.
Tim leaves MAFS 2025 (and Katie)
Tim has completely pissed off, which is good for Katie in the long run. She watches his audition tape where he flat-out lies about his intentions for MAFS 2025.
Here’s my favourite:
“I’m not Brad Pitt so I’m not expecting Miranda Kerr.”
Anyway, I hope this isn’t the end for Katie.
John Aiken needs to make it up to her. Immediately.
