No one talks about their wife’s intimacy behind her back on our watch. And you know what? The Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2025 women should’ve spoken to Jacqui after they heard about the comment too. I think the whole MAFS 2025 cast deserves a good wake-up call at tonight’s dinner party! Let’s recap.

As Ryan and Jacqui walk in, he tells her to have his back tonight, likely because he knows he will be in the firing line. As soon as they arrive — Ryan wearing that disgusting jacket he must’ve borrowed from Jayden Eynaud, mind you — they try and convince everyone how well they’re doing after pressing the reset button.

MAFS dinner party table calls out Ryan
It all comes crashing down, however, when Sierah asks Jacqui if her mouth has been on or around Ryan’s penis. When she says no, it makes the women wonder if Ryan has been telling fibs about their sex life. Would it surprise literally anyone?

The “crazy eyes” comment is very quickly brought up by Billy over dinner and Jacqui didn’t even care, really. Did she watch Mr Deeds? That’s where my mind goes any time I hear this comment, which is surprisingly a lot on this show.
“Crazy eyes” is a mean thing to say, Jacqui. From your husband or from anyone. Don’t justify his behaviour by saying you actually do have crazy eyes. And don’t talk about yourself like that.

Then the comment about giving head (we assume that’s what he said) is brought up, and she starts throwing arms and declaring she deserves better. She must be feeling really humiliated. I would be. She is allowed to act however she wants upon finding out her partner spoke about her like that.

Jacqui brings up the photo ranking challenge — again — and suggests that Ryan ranks his sister, who he clarifies is beautiful, among the MAFS 2025 brides in the room. I’m really trying to understand her, and then she goes and says something as absurd as that.
Big Dave becomes a Big Fucking Angry Giant and annihilates Ryan. I wish it happened earlier, but I’m just glad it happened at all at this point. And I’m glad it came from a man, because you know how men are. They need one of their own to tell ‘em.
Morena’s not happy
You know who’s angrier, though? MORENA. This bride has been going ROGUE on social media and on Abbie Chatfield‘s podcast alike, suggesting the producers have pulled a fast one on her. Do I think they’ve edited her to make her look worse than she is? Absolutely? Does she still make me uncomfortable, like she does Carina? Yeah.

She grills Ryan before taking aim at Paul, who she calls a “little boy”. I’m just glad the bloke got some airtime. Oui!
We finish the episode with a bit of footsies between Sierah and Adrian. He is now using his body parts to communicate because his speech is failing him.

Anyway, MAFS 2025’s cheating scandal has arrived! Yay. Hopefully it’s what we’ll be unpacking in the next recap.
