Final Test Week threw an absolute curveball for some of the remaining Married At First Sight (MAFS) participants, particularly Paul Antoine and Carina Mirable, who had previously been one of the stronger couples going into Final Vows.
While Carina opted out of meeting her backup match in the ‘Is The Grass Greener Challenge?’, Paul’s ‘curiosity’ got the better of him, and he met up with his match, Hannah.
The date was short-lived, and needless to say, upon his return to the apartment, Paul’s rambling confession to Carina ended in an explosive argument, with Carina feeling like she had been emotionally cheated on.
As Paul scrambled to deflect his behaviour, he threw shade at his backup match Hannah, saying things like “yuck” and attempting to insult her by labelling her as a “Barbie”.
It’s not surprising that MAFS fans found Paul’s behaviour, quite, well, yuck, and while it was very obvious Hannah wasn’t impressed on her date with Paul, she tells Chattr she couldn’t “wait to get out of there”.
Paul’s MAFS ‘backup bride’ Hannah on her date with the groom: ‘My guard went up instantly’
Telling Chattr that the date was ‘very short’ Hannah said the first question she asked him was along the liens of “what broke up your relationship to bring you here today?”
“His response caught me completely off-guard,” Hannah said. “I wasn’t expecting it, and my guard went up instantly. He then expressed curiosity about me, but I found myself unable to say much, I was too shocked. That’s when I started questioning why he was even there in the first place.”
Hannah reveals how she felt watching Paul tell Carina about their date: ‘Low and hypocritical’
After watching Paul’s bumbling deflection towards Carina, Hannah wasn’t exactly left shocked.
“I saw his actions coming a mile away, so they didn’t surprise me, it just confirmed what I already knew,” Hannah said. “But let’s be clear, resorting to insults is never acceptable.
“For example, trying to insult me by calling me Barbie – so he’s stereotyping me because I have blonde hair and wear pink? That’s not insulting to me, it just makes him look low and hypocritical for calling Carina out the other week for the ‘calibre’ comment towards Cleo,” Hannah pointed out.
She also had a few things to say about Paul’s character.
“Paul is the classic type, ‘charming’ on the surface, but when things don’t go his way, the mask slips. His behaviour wasn’t just disappointing, it was predictable. Unfortunately it’s a pattern too many women recognise, men dodging accountability by tearing down the women around them. Yuck!” she said.
What a queen.
