Strap yourselves in, it’s finally time to sift through the ashes of the bin fire that was this season of Married at First Sight with the reunion dinner.
Cue the drama!
A sexting scandal, Harrison wreaking havoc, as Harrison does, and a few Camtrums – yes, Cam tantrums — all promise to deliver the terrible behaviour we’ve come to expect from TV’s trashiest reality show.
Let’s delve a little deeper, shall we?
As we tune in for part one of the two-night finale we’re told it’s “the experiment that stops the nation”. Not sure we fully agree with that sentiment, but sure.
And then we are treated to our second-last melodic montage giving us the highs, the lows, the crying and the cheating scandals that made up the 2023 season.
If you ever want to see some sucky human behaviour, this is it.
Everyone looks stellar. We gather that, for those couples who are no longer together, it’s a real “look what you missed out on” moment. So, dressing to the nines is an absolute must.
Side note: I’ve never seen so much of the Sydney skyline in my entire life.
The voiceover proclaims “some” of this year’s couples found love. Let us clarify, by some, they mean two.
Couples Mel and Layton and Tahnee and Ollie lasted the distance – and we’re here for it.
“I’m pretty lucky I didn’t get a douchebag,” says Mel.
As for the other couples, here’s a quick rundown.
Jessie and Claire talk every day (naw).
Sandy is back, channelling woman-power and we’re here for it.
The so-called “experts” are shocked when Lyndall walks in without Cam. Wait, have they been watching the same show as us?
We find out that Cam and Lyndall haven’t spoken but Cam isn’t exactly heartbroken. He’s been sexting Tayla, allegedly.
Alyssa is still sour about how everything ended with Duncan. And, Duncan is still very sweet about. . .everything.
Mel gives us the old “they must be over” when Alyssa walks in without Duncan – thanks Captain Obvious.
Alyssa tells us that Duncan gives her the ick but we don’t fully believe her.
“Just the way he greeted me and asked me like, are you okay? Like bro, you know I’m not okay,” she says, bro.
Evelyn and Rupert act like best friends, and it’s actually pretty cute.
Harrison and Bronte haven’t spoken a word to each other and Bronte said she’s “never been happier”.
Harrison, who received a frosty reception upon his arrival, reckons “single life is so much less complicated” — of course he does.
“Weird vibe, what’s going on?” he asks. “Just when you came in mate,” Rupert replies. Ouch!
Other Mel is “single and ready to mingle”.
With the other contestants maybe? We’re not entirely sure.
She and Josh greet each other with a swift, but very sweet hug.
After a few awkward drinks in a pretty awkward setting, the dinner party kicks off.
Mel addresses the elephant in the room and the sexting scandal is hot off the press with Cam claiming he was just having “friendly banter” with Tayla. “I’m a friendly person,” he says.
But Tayla blurts out the horrible truth “I saw his ….,”
After Cam had been fighting so hard to sell us his innocence too – that’s gotta hurt.
Tayla’s laughing like she’s at a comedy show. Not really the time, is it Tayla? Our very own Lyndall and Bronte are quick to put her in her place. Yeah, the Perth girls!
“A bit of decorum, babe,” yells Claire.
“I don’t see what the f…en issue is?” says Cam. Of course, he doesn’t.
Then, young Cameron hits us with some Gandhi-type quotes.
“You can’t make an omelette without cracking a few f…en eggs,” he says.
“If you wanted a fairy-tale ending, get a job at Disneyland.”
Wow.
Bronte and Harrison are hot topic number two at the dinner party after Harrison claims Bronte violated his privacy by messaging his “ex”. Spoiler alert – she didn’t.
Harrison has what he thinks are juicy receipts of the conversation, like he’s literally printed them out and is waving them around.
“I’m surprised he knows how to use a printer,” says Claire. Oh, how we’ve missed her colourful commentary.
Harrison tries to talk but everyone is too busy snickering and Cam turns the paper into a plane and throws it across the table.
“I’ve made my point”, exclaims Harrison. Genuinely thinking he has.
“You didn’t make your point, hun,” Bronte is quick to shut him down.
Producers – can you look after our Perthites next year, please?
Alyssa’s fired up and ready to say her piece. Duncan defends his character, as he should.
She’s being incredibly condescending.
“YOU dumped ME, bro,” she says, crying and preparing to storm out.
“You made me believe there was a future for us,” she says.
“I wished there was a future for us,” Duncan replies.
“No you don’t,” yells Alyssa.
“No, I don’t now,” Duncan says, shutting her down.
Ollie sums it up for all of us when he says: “I got whiplash. I feel like I’m at Wimbledon.”
“We need some referees in this joint.”
And lucky for you, Ollie, Monday is the night. The final episode of MAFS will kick off with the “experts” in tow, and we are so ready for some of these peeps to be pulled back into line.
