Oh joy — Lauren and Eliot are back on Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2025 alongside their new partners — an actress and a pro golfer. Do producers really think these relationships resemble real life? I’ve never dated either of those professions! And I lived in Sydney for a decade!
Enough about me. Let’s recap and meet these MAFS intruders! Someone had to replace the MAFS cast who left the experiment, right?
Lauren’s new boyfie, Clint
Clint’s rich, but Tasmania rich.

I imagine he wouldn’t be able to get the same thing for the same price in Point Piper. Weird place for a tennis court.
More importantly, Clint is 43, the exact age range Eliot wanted for Lauren. Let’s be honest, Eliot with one l and one t just wanted anyone for Lauren that wasn’t him.
As you can imagine, that bloke has messed with Lauren’s trust, and she is pretty off it the entire time she’s getting married to Clint.

Clint supports Lauren, though, and assures her he will have her back. It’s a shame we know how this all ends (spoiler here) because I actually would’ve been kind of into this union. If they didn’t have that related feeling about them, that is.

Eliot is punished with a 10/10
Veronica is in her thirties!!! The horror.
Eliot is really confident he will give this MAFS thing a proper crack this time around. It helps that Veronica is basically a supermodel, though.

Back at the MAFS apartments, Adrian has had a tanty because he wasn’t included in a promo shoot for MAFS 2025. I’M SORRY, WHY IS THIS SO HYSTERICALLY FUNNY?
This is the equivalent of getting less than 50K followers after sacrificing your dignity on this shit. Anyway he left Awhina over it. I really hope he was just looking for an out, because any other reason is so terribly tragic and embarrassing.

Speaking of tragic and embarrassing, Jacqui also reckons she’s leaving the experiment. It’s a shame she’s all over Instagram ruining her storyline because she talked about Home Towns in her Stories, meaning she probably doesn’t bounce at all. Man she’s pissed me off this season of MAFS, and it hasn’t had anything to do with what’s on TV.
