His beard is a problem...

Ryan and Jacqui do home town week on MAFS.

The Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2025 couples are gearing up to see inside their partner’s humble abode.

Ryan’s just stoked to be reunited with his Samurai sword, and I regret to inform you that it’s not an euphemism.

I also regret to inform you that Jacqui and Ryan are nervous about their long-distnace relationship. They live one hour and a half apart. That’s how long it takes some people to commute every day. I don’t want to hear it.

Adrian isn’t nervous about seeing Cleo again but says he wants to get “in and out”, something Awhina says he is good at. For her sake, I hope so.

OK, we’re at Jacqui’s house, and it’s not as anal-retentive as I would have imagined. The house, that is. The conversation, however, is a different story.

She tells Ryan that his beard isn’t very manly. Or it isn’t very Manly. I honestly don’t know. I think a beard is both masculine and beach-appropriate, so I’m lost.

Jacqui says she can’t “conversate” with Ryan because his brain is too small. Mine too, apparently, because I’m just now finding out conversate’s a word.

Someone needs to perform an exorcism on this couple, preferably after Jacqui cries over Ryan paying for the flowers that were her idea.

Speaking of which, the power of Christ (and Carina’s mum) has compelled Paul to sleep in another room that won’t allow for any funny business.

Cleo still hates Adrian. Adrian still hates Cleo.

Jamie‘s sister, Georgia, has arrived to interrogate an uncomfortably clean-shaven Dave.

Do Georgia and Jamie look similar, or do they just do their makeup the same?

Georgia thinks these two are friend-zoned because the roots are out the window, along with Dave’s feelings.
