MAFS' Eliot reveals his feud with Lauren is going to ramp up

The pair re-entered the experiment this week with new partners, Eliot tying the knot with Veronica Cloherty and Lauren marrying Clint Rice. Everything exploded at the Dinner Party, with Lauren calling out Eliot’s problematic behaviour. 

Fans might remember that Lauren previously claimed Eliot had “really bad body odour”, and she made a snarky comment at the Dinner Party that he “smelled better”. 

Eliot warns that we’re going to see a lot more comments like this from Lauren in the future, calling out her “petty” behaviour.

“That becomes a trend with Lauren and pretty much everybody else in the experiment, she actually had a lot more to say than that about me,” he tells Chattr. 

“She listed out like 200 things that she didn’t like about me, some of which were true and some of which obviously weren’t. Like the BO thing is kind of ridiculous, but I think it kind of said more about her than about me.”

Eliot believes he did Lauren a favour by quitting

The groom didn’t give his marriage with Lauren a fair go, but he maintains that it worked out best for both parties in the end. 

“I probably could have handled things better in the way that I exited, [but] if you look back, it actually benefited both me and Lauren for me to leave,” he says. “Lauren got someone more suitable and I got someone more suitable.”

He adds that he wasn’t surprised at all to come face-to-face with Lauren, and he wasn’t nervous about their showdown. 

“I knew what it was I was walking into. However, I didn’t know it was going to be as intense as it was… [though] I knew [my actions were] going to be [seen as] controversial.”

MAFS’ Eliot breaks silence on *that* margaritas comment 

During the dinner party, Eliot and Lauren’s relationship went from bad to worse when he appeared to shame her for drinking too many margaritas on their honeymoon. Eliot, there’s no such thing!

His wife Veronica reamed him out for it, saying that it was a “disgusting” comment to make. However, Eliot says the couple patched things up afterwards and he didn’t mean it to come out in the way it did. 

“I wasn’t expecting such a visceral reaction to that comment,” he tells us. “I definitely could have phrased that better. It wasn’t the intent to shame anyone about that… it was more like I was trying to understand why she didn’t want to acknowledge the conversation we’d had.”

While Veronica was “upset” by his comment, the pair seem to be in a good place now. 

“She was quite understanding of the fact that I had 20 people coming at me, and so she kind of saw, based on that situation, why I would react like that, even though she was disappointed in that particular comment,” Eliot claims.

Will Veronica and Eliot make it out of the experiment unscathed? Well, according to the groom, there’s only two people he no longer talks to. 

“I’m friends with pretty much everyone from the cast except two people,” he teases. “You can probably guess who one of them is, and by the end of it, you’ll see who the second one is.”
