Wow, the Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2025 editing team really just cut the Ellie and Jono intro from last year’s reunion and pasted in Jacqui and Clint, didn’t they?
Rhi, Jeff and Jeff‘s new fringe are doing swell. She’s been giving his key a workout, as well as other things, no doubt. What? They’re fit and healthy and work out often!
All the people who got shit-all airtime are “lubing up the lips” and preparing to enter back into the “jungle”, an appropriate term considering Katie‘s zoo necklaces are back.
Jamie looks nice. Her makeup is very demure, very mindful.
Jamie says that after Final Vows, it became clear that Dave wasn’t super into her. Honestly, I thought that was clear a few weeks ago.
“We only broke up a week ago,” she said. How’s the timing!
Paul feels betrayed after Carina ditched his sorry ass at Final Vows. He’s being so mature about it (sarcasm), he even reflects on Carina’s “crazy, jealousy tendencies”.
“Don’t project all your insecurities on me,” he quips.
“There’s no hope whatsoever. She is a big snob.”
“She is.“
It would appear Paul has learned nothing and is still a raging blame-shifter.
Awhina says she feels like herself again since leaving the experiment, so, in case you hadn’t figured, that means she’s stopped having breakup sex with Adrian.
Sierah wants to tell everyone to get fucked!!! She’s angry!!! She rage-texted Adrian!! I’d completely forgotten about this meat-eater.
Anyway, apparently Awhina has been speaking shit about Adrian and Sierah wants to bring it up in front of everyone. Gosh everyone’s really wearing their maturity pants tonight aren’t they.
Meanwhile, Jacqui and Clint are kissing too much. We get it, you’re together. Pop your tongues back in. Nothing makes me more unwell than someone who says “mmm” when kissing someone.
It would appear Jacqui has purchased a new bronzer, which is wonderful news. She looks excellent.
When Sierah walks in, I struggle to find someone that is happy to see her, other than Adrian who she sits with almost immediately.
It makes Awhina sick, and she hasn’t even seen Jacqui and Clint yet.
“I’m going to drop her right in the shit,” Sierah threatens.
Sierah claims that Awhina said Adrian was stupid, can’t spell and a bunch of other horrible stuff. Awhina admits that she said “some” of the things Sierah is claiming and Adrian isn’t pleased.
Clint walks in alone.
“How’s Jacqui?” Ryan asks, before the pair go and have a chat.
“We’re not fucking mates,” Clint tells Ryan.
Then Jacqui walks in and like, is the jig not up? Why are they pretending? After Clint’s 2.5 weeks on the show, surely his relationship with Jacqui is the only reason he’s here?
The group question the pair but are saved by the (dinner) bell.
Teejay clings to relevancy and tries to get Jacqui and Clint to cough up.
They confirm they’re dating and have spent the last two weeks together. Final Vows were four weeks ago. No one’s buying it.
When Ryan tries to tell Clint to crawl back into the Tasmanian hole he came out of, Clint tells Ryan that he is from the Western Suburbs. Yes, these are full-grown men using postcodes in one hell of a dick-measuring contest.
“I’m not in the Western suburbs in a one-bedroom shithouse,” Clint tells producers, like he is a god’s gift because he has a tennis court.
Dave tells the table that Jamie dumped him over dinner because they’re better as friends.
The girls rally around her and discuss how fucked the men on the show were this season. Jamie would rather order one from Temu, but maybe she should’ve just gone on Season 11 instead.
Paul is very angry that Carina made a joke about all the mistakes he made.
He tells her off for being sarcastic.
“The rejection, it just didn’t sit well with me,” he tells the table.
He says he was able to reflect and asked himself whether or not they were even compatible. He thinks they aren’t, for a few reasons:
- She can’t take criticism!
- Extremely judgemental!
- Trust issues!
What an interesting revelation to have in a desperate attempt to salvage your ego.
