We made it! We’re stepping back to a time when we thought more than one couple would come out of Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2025. What fools we were!
Speaking of fools, the crowd goes absolutely wild over Ryan dropping Jacqui on the floor. It would also appear that time has healed this wound for Jacqui. Jamie, however, is emotional.
Time to get the couples up on the couch one last time.
Jamie and Dave: What was once our favourite pairing is up, reflecting on the time dopamine shot out of her ass.
They play back a mashup of Jamie and Dave’s MAFS 2025 experience, including the part where he shared the bed with Veronica. Ooft, I could cut the tension with one of Ryan’s Samurai Swords.
Awhina and Adrian: Awhina claims that Sierah tried to come back to the experiment with Adrian!!! Apparently they joked about the wife swap thing being a good idea and Sierah‘s really trying (and failing) to defend herself in this situation.
They watch the tapes back and Awhina is in tears witnessing how fucked Adrian is/was all over again.
I hope Sierah clocked where Adrian ranked her on the photo ranking challenge. Hint: it wasn’t first or second.
Jacqui and Ryan: The main event has arrived. Jacqui tells the MAFS 2025 experts that she was crying over her breakup with Ryan for two weeks. Interesting. Didn’t she dump him? Wasn’t she laughing while she was doing it?
Anyway, she’s moving in with Clint and the entire room finds that absolutely hysterical.
“It’s very serious,” Clint tells the experts, likely because it’s hard to decipher whether Jacqui is.
They’re watching their experience back, and wow, it was really a bloody comedy, wasn’t it. Even Jacqui laughed at half of it, which tells us absolutely nothing.
Clint thinks Ryan’s behaviour was “disgraceful” and that there are no alarms about Jacqui, even after watching back the rollercoaster of a tape.
“I’ve actually fallen more for her since I’ve watched that,” he reckons.
Carina and Paul: Paul tries to throw Carina under the bus a 75th time by claiming she cares too much about what other people think. Paul, so do you. Look in the mirror.
Alessandra does not appreciate him speaking over her.
Jeff reminds Paul that Carina was prioritising their relationship over what other people thought when she forgave him for the wall-punch.
Paul can’t even watch the tapes back, discovering how shit he truly was. Even Beth calls him a “pig” during it.
But no, even the tapes can’t slap him in the face with the truth, spitting that Carina also made mistakes.
John tells him to stop playing the victim. He tells Paul how sickening it is that he now thinks he’s not compatible with Carina, because he can’t accept how he’s messed up.
Rhi and Jeff: They’ve spent like, two days alone since the experiment ended. Rhi also says Jeff is extremely consistent in this relationship.
The experts choose to steal a special moment between Jeff and Rhi, egging them on to say the L-word like a bunch of 7th graders.
“I do love you Rhi,” he tells her.
“I love you too.”
I am not in the right stage of my cycle to be crying this much.
THATS’ IT THAT’S IT THAT’S IT!!!!
Go off and live your lives, people.
