Married At First Sight (MAFS) Episode 4 provided everything we need from this show: hope, tears, roots and arguments. For this MAFS 2025 recap, we’ll focus on the horny (and hellish) honeymoons and the new couples.
The MAFS 2025 honeymoon rollercoaster
Eliot has finally bailed on MAFS 2025 and not a moment too soon.
Katie and Tim are getting worse by the minute. Tim decided to tell Katie that his type is basically short and not… a redhead. As a result, she has now decided that his lack of “spark” is code for lack of “attraction”.
It’s a fair assumption for her to make, considering the way he is treating her and the entire situation. He did tell her, “You’re good with your looks”, which is like the constipated equivalent of “You’re pretty”, but cooked it when he said he liked “quieter women”.
Yuck, yuck, yuck.
He can act like a loser all he wants but the toll it’s taking on Katie is getting to me. It’s particularly heartbreaking seeing her put in all the effort, like asking if he likes fishing and photography, and then her feeling like she’s the problem.
“The common denominator is me,” she said about her failed relationships. I’ll never forgive John Aiken for this.
Anyway, everyone else is rooting, grabbing boobs and seeing willies. It is unclear if Carina and Paul boinked for the second and third time or the first and second time.
Awhina and Adrian answer family questions
The honesty box — which has been renamed to the “honeymoon box” for good measure — screwed up the heavy petting for Awhina and Adrian when they received a question about family.
He told her that he doesn’t know if he could love her kid the same way he could love his own. It’s not so much the feeling he’s having that I’m criticising as much as it is the delivery. Which is terrible.
He then told her to “smile” which is basically a surefire way to dry up lady parts.
Will our new tributes cross the friend zone?
OK, so Rhi and Jeff are a new couple we met tonight, but it’s not their first time meeting. They acknowledge they know each other straight away, unlike Carina and Paul. The whole wedding is so wonderfully fucking awkward because they are marathon buddies who slept together a few times.
I don’t know if they’ll be able to go from friends to lovers but I do know I need Jeff’s skincare routine. I refuse to believe he’ll probably be 40 by final vows.
Ashleigh and Jake are my favourite couple so far. Ashleigh is a bubbly, smiley dance teacher, and Jake is a party-shirt PE teacher. The only downfall is that Ashleigh is a Jules and Cam superfan, something I’ve seen her mention in the trailers while crying. So maybe this doesn’t end the way we want.
After all the seasons watching this, should we be surprised?
