Try not to die of shock but this was another Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2025 episode of the Ryan & Jacqui Show.

Before we jump into that shitshow, let’s get the other couples out of the way.

Rhi and JeffRhi saying, “It was meant to be, Jeffy”, is the cutest shit I’ve seen from these exes this season; coming a close second would be Jeff giving Rhi a key.

Beth and TeejayThe last intruders standing are somehow still here after bumping uglies for a second time.

“It was good,” he said. Image: Nine

Beth’s best friend thinks Teejay is very rehearsed with what he says, and when he says things like “romantic stimulation”, I don’t disagree.

He doesn’t really see a future with Beth right now so they’re fucked.

Jamie and DaveThe pair have kissed and made up (and touched ass). Dave has grown a full beard overnight!

Dave’s dad thinks he is very happy with Jamie but I have questions about when this was filmed.

Ryan & Jacqui: Ryan tells his dog “I brought someone new” upon introducing Jacqui to him. Um, someone “new”? Makes it sound like that’s a common event. Low-key surprised, he wore white jeans to greet his dog that he hadn’t seen in months.

Anyway the house Ryan owns in South West Sydney is enough to make Jacqui cry. Is that saying anything at this point?

TBH, if my partner had a Vegas visor or Bintang stubby on display, I’d both cry, vomit and not speak to him for a week.

“It really reminds me of the elderly,” Jacqui says of Ryan’s living conditions. All is not lost, though, because he does have a goal board and to-do list that Jacqui takes it upon herself to fill out.

He takes that on the chin (which has too many hairs for Jacqui’s liking) but doesn’t love it when she tells him how to “manage” his pet during a walk.

It only gets worse between the pair when they arrive at a venue that feels too nice to be that empty.

So this is the local hot spot hey? Pumping!!! Image: Nine

Jacqui has one support person there, and Ryan has two. I do not know their relationships with these people, but I do know that Jacqui’s person seemingly sat there silently while Ryan’s people ripped into Jacqui.

Adrian and Awhina also had a picnic.
