Last night’s Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2025 episode was the first time ever the series debuted Final Test Week, with a new challenge titled ‘Is The Grass Greener on The Other Side?’
The challenge allowed the remaining participants to meet another ‘scientifically matched’ backup bride or groom before Final Vows, to help them gain clarity on their current relationship. While some couples remained strong and opted not to meet their match (shoutout to Rhi Disljenkovic and Jeff Gobbels) temptation got the best of others.
It wasn’t entirely surprising that Teejay Halkias and Beth Kelly decided to meet their alternate matches, given their MAFS marriage has all but fizzled out. But eagle-eyed fans couldn’t help but point out an editing detail in the separate dates the two had, that had them questioning if their dates were held in the same venue.
MAFS fans query editing fail in Beth and Teejay’s dates
Taking to a Facebook group, one person uploaded a side-by-side photo of the separate dates, saying: “Teejay and Beth had their dates apparently across town so the separate pubs/cafes must have the same cups? Please correct me if I’m wrong… I just found it strange.”
So were Teejay and Beth potentially at the same venue? Some people thought they had caught MAFS out, while others pointed out it’s usually a trick used by reality TV shows like Love Is Blind so people can’t see the levels of the drink for continuity purposes.
“I think they do that so we can’t see the drink level changing when production cut and edit voice clips to control the story better,” one person pointed out. “Probably the same as Love Is Blind. Cups provided as non see through by production, to enable dodgy editing and so they can show things not in sequence,” another agreed.
Some pointed out it was the same as Paul Antoine and Hannah’s date, which debunks the theory the dates were all held at the same place.
Others were just worried the participants were being forced to drink out of something that wasn’t a cup. “I thought they were drinking from candle holders for a minute,” one person said, with another saying, “THANK YOU! I was yelling out, don’t drink the candles! Haha I knew others would have seen it too.”
Married At First Sight 2025 airs Sundays at 7pm and Monday – Wednesday at 7:30pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
