It has become blatantly obvious why Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2025 brought Lauren back into the experiment. She does not hold back! Also, she’s super nasty. Let’s recap, shall we?
Lauren needs tampons for her eyeballs after walking away from the drunk bogans she hates so much.
Rhi and Carina comfort her before she walks back in to tackle the firing line once more.
Lauren tells the girls there is no spark between her and Clint and while she’s at it, makes it clear she can’t stand Jamie.
Lauren runs out of insults, so Girls Night must end prematurely. Jamie tells Big Dave what Lauren said about her sparkless relationship with Clint and naturally, Big Dave tells Clint.
In fact, he interrupts Clint’s voxie to do so, acting like he’s about to tell the bloke that someone died.
Clint decides to believe Lauren instead, and with a shirt like hers, I could be fooled into thinking she’s actually trying with this relationship.
Rhi checks on Lauren to make sure she doesn’t need any eye tampons after last night’s events. Lauren’s fine and thinks everyone who’s not her is a loser, including Rhi, because she disagrees with Lauren’s name-calling.
Later, Lauren and Clint watch on as the rest of the cast wax Eliot’s back. I think Lauren just said that Beth should “go back to the ugly mute she was at the dinner party”, which is just plain mean.
Anyway, Teejay comes over to check on the couple right before Lauren calls Jamie a “troll”. Teejay tells Jamie, and Dave goes right in to tell Lauren and Clint how horrible that is as soon as he has a chance.
Clint has been possessed by the Golf Wife spirit and is telling Jamie to shut up and sit down as he defends Lauren. These are all things Clint actually said to Jamie:
”More listening, less talking.”
”Sit the fuck down.”
”You’re embarrassing yourself.”
It’s very unexpected from a man who’s struggled to locate his backbone.
Adrian jumps in to tell Clint that he shouldn’t swear at women. If Adrian’s getting involved with advice on how to treat women, you know something’s very wrong.
Jacqui also jumps at the opportunity to accuse Rhi of something — anything — by asking why she didn’t defend Jamie during the argument with Lauren. Jeff does not have a bloody bar of this attention-seeking, laughing at the mere attempt.
Jamie isn’t happy with Carina and Rhi and wants to know why they’re not defending her.
Rhi says she needs time to process what’s happening before offering her opinion, and Carina says she feels Jamie’s approach to situations like this is a bit full-on.
Jamie is very upset, and honestly, I’m confused. Don’t get me wrong: Lauren has said some awful things about not only Jamie but everyone. However, Dave’s dramatics in the last two episodes, Rhi and Carina’s response to this argument tonight and Clint’s unexpected side have got me pondering what we’re not seeing.
Sue me, but I’ve watched this show enough to know that not everything is as it seems.
One thing’s for sure: “Boganic” is never going to happen.
