MAFS' Teejay regrets having sex with Beth and leading her on: 'I'm not perfect'

The groom tells Chattr it was a poor decision, and at least he’s being honest! He’d previously said that he needed an emotional connection to pursue sex, so you can see how Beth was led on. 

“Watching it back now, I think it was definitely the wrong decision [to have sex with Beth],” Teejay admits. “I definitely don’t think that I should have even put forward the idea.”

He explains that during their confessions letter task, Beth claimed she didn’t need an “emotional connection” to have a “sexual interaction”, so he saw this as a “green light”. 

“But, you know, I’m on the experiment to learn. I’m a human. I’m not perfect, and that’s all I can do, is learn from these things,” he adds.

It seemed like a switch had been flipped — similar to how Dave Hand suddenly didn’t have feelings for Jamie Marinos last week — so fans have been wondering what changed. 

Teejay says that nothing happened to make him realise he didn’t feel deeply towards Beth, but he just wasn’t on the same wavelength.

“I just wasn’t growing those deeper feelings. I wasn’t sure why, Beth is a fantastic person, absolutely incredible,” he says.

However, he didn’t just fake it for the cameras and chose to be honest with her instead.

“I had three options there. I could have been honest, which I was, or I could have lied, or I could have been diplomatic the entire time. I stayed true to myself and I was honest with how I felt to Beth,” he spills.

“Unfortunately, you know, no one wins in that situation. That was so shit for me. I’d never wanted to hurt Beth or hurt her feelings or anything like that. So having to tell Beth that [I wasn’t sure about our future] was uncomfortable for me.”

Will Teejay and Beth write ‘leave’ at the next MAFS Commitment Ceremony?

The cast is careful to not give away any spoilers, but we already know that Teejay and Beth take part in Final Test Week — so at least one of them is writing ‘stay’!

Teejay tells us that he has to consider Beth’s feelings carefully, and whether it’s better to rip the band-aid off now, or continue in the experiment with her.

“It’s definitely a thought of mine to write leave, but there’s also, I am in the experiment to try — so there’s also reason to write stay as well. It’s quite a hard decision for me,” Teejay says.

“Beth’s feelings are at the forefront of my mind and I’ve already evidently hurt Beth’s feelings, and it’s not what I’m here for,” he adds. “I’m just trying to navigate through that as best as possible, and it’s difficult. It’s really difficult.”
