MAFS 2025 Episode 27 Recap: Paul fails to tell Carina what he really thinks of her

Just what every partner wants to hear!
Filed under recap.
Carina finds out that Paul thinks she's a snob on MAFS.

Married at First Sight Australia (MAFS) 2025’s Dave and Veronica are spending too long in bed for a morning chat.

I don’t even do that with a friend in my bed unless there is a hungover debrief to be had.

Maybe the bed doesn’t radiate sex or something, because it turns out Jamie and Dave aren’t having much of it. Adrian thinks Dave mustn’t be attracted to Jamie, asking her to imagine him with a “10/10 model” or “actress”, which Veronica is.

Also, that’s a terrible thing to say, but it’s Adrian, so I’m unsurprised. “He pretty much is telling me I’m too ugly to root,” Jamie tells producers.

The couples are reuniting. Paul has to read the letter about Carina to her face and, you wouldn’t believe it, but there’s even more he doesn’t like about her that we haven’t even heard yet.

Like what?

  • Outdated restaurants.
  • Hating tattoos even though she has some and likes a celeb who’s covered in them.

He conveniently skips the part where he calls her a snob but forgets to take the letter with him when he leaves the room to lie to producers.

“Bit of a slap in the face,” Carina reckons. “I can’t believe this is what he thinks of me.”

Ryan explains that when he and Jacqui are in a good place, they are SPECTACULAR, but he says SPECTACULAR like he is in a Broadway musical, and it’s impossible to imagine it without spirit fingers in tow.

Jacqui tells Ryan all the things that scare her about him, including but not limited to her becoming the breadwinner. His comeback? That she didn’t buy her first house before 30. He just doesn’t say it to her face because his saving his testosterone for the gym.

She admits she just wants to know if he’s comfortable being a stay-at-home dad. Apparently, this is a completely audacious suggestion.

“You know that being a stay at home dad is the most ridiculous thing” he tells her. “I want to leave a legacy.”

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK.

“I will never be a stay-at-home dad. It’s insulting for you to think you’d even consider that.”

YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE IS INSULTING? EXPECTING YOUR PARTNER TO GIVE UP HER CAREER EVEN THOUGH YOU WOULD NEVER.

Eliot and Veronica get a second chance at a letter — praying for everyone including myself. She basically just tells him how great Dave is compared to Eliot. “Not to draw comparisons or anything,” she tells production while Ironic by Alanis Morissette plays in the background.

Can we skip to the good part? Oh. Image: Nine.

Eliot would like to know how we could be more attentive to Veronica and wants to know her definition of attentiveness. She patronises him for needing a definition of attentiveness but then goes off at him for patronising her. Maybe we could define patronising while we’re at it? Just a thought. I don’t know.

Anyway, to define “attentiveness”, Veronica explains how Dave asked if she needed cheese (sure why not), chilli sauce (always) and even washed her plate. “So a restaurant experience,” Eliot concludes, which was not a good idea for him or his ears.

WAR! Image: Nine.

She tells Eliot that he’s “beneath” her, and I’m not even going to make a crude joke about it because I’m so over their arguments. She gives an Oscar-winning performance that wouldn’t even score her a Logie.

Veronica leaves MAFS.

Jamie tells Dave she would like to bone more but he is upset that Adrian now knows this information. He is also upset that their sex life is making Jamie question his feelings for her, even though their lack of sex life is because of his feelings for her.

Yeah what you said. Image: Nine.

Speaking of definitions, Paul has conveniently forgotten the one for “snob”. Good day to be French I guess!
