The most bizarre moments from MAFS Australia
Guys, I did it. I surpassed myself. 42 episodes of Married At First Sight Australia in two and a half weeks. Am I proud? Well... Of course, I have to thank working from home for this, because that's how most episodes were consumed. Now I've fallen into a bit of a MAFS hole and I'm busy looking for a new guilty pleasure. I actually found that pretty quickly on social media, because after all the broadcasts, things really got wild with all sorts of catfights there.
Yes, it was quite a wild ride, that sixth season of MAFS Australia. Where do they find these people? That was a thought that went through my mind countless times while watching. Really, pure enjoyment. For those who haven't noticed yet: here come the spoilers, but I had to go through the absolute best moments from MAFS Australia with you.
1. All the quotes from Ines during her wedding
That Ines, what a character. I don't know whether to cry or laugh at her, it can't be true that someone is really like that? First words to Bronson: ‘Could you take out your eyebrow piercing please.’ ICE. COLD. Then when asked, prior to the wedding, how she felt: ‘Horny.’ Wait, whut? During that entire wedding, literally not a single normal word came out of her mouth. Poor, poor Bronson. And then that photo session afterwards, when she found out that her new hubby had a past as a stripper. As if she saw water burning.
2. Elizabeth warming up pizza in the toaster
Sam is just really an idiot, we all know that. But how wonderfully extra was the episode where Elizabeth was sitting alone in the hotel room? Very sad for her too, but how it was edited... As if the love of her life had left and life had no meaning for her anymore. Instead of: oh I don't know, a man you DON'T EVEN KNOW FOR A DAY? And then so wonderfully melodramatically warming up the pizza from the day before. In the toaster. That's the self-pity we watch for.
3. The awkwardness of Matt
Poor Matt, that was quite a rollercoaster for him. His virginity (and the loss of it) was seen as a sort of public property and everyone had the right to know how it really was. His penetrating gaze when he talks to people. The complete horror when Lauren ‘Loz’ started talking about open relationships and her past with women. That was really a 404 error, what happened there. But the cherry on top: when he started singing ‘Sway’ at the wedding. Hi-larious.
4. Mike who absolutely does not want a therapy session
* Heidi talks for three minutes about something personal * ‘I am NOT your therapist, okay? This isn’t therapy.’ Uh… Wooookeeee, chill out, Mike. After all the episodes, he may sometimes come across as a heartless guy, but I really think he’s the nicest of the men. Yeah okay, Cam is sweet, but Mike is really sexy.
5. Mick who narrowly avoided a mental breakdown
And the award for least motivated participant in a reality series ever goes to… Mick Gould aka Gympie. Who was forced to stay for THREE weeks in a row because Jessika just wouldn’t leave. Who was begging himself to please write ‘leave’ on that piece of paper. And she kept insisting that she did it because she wanted to part as friends. I felt so much pity for Mick throughout this whole program.
6. Cyclone Cyrell who just calls herself Cyclone Cyrell
You can say what you want, and yes, she might have been a bit too much sometimes, but Cyrell was at least honest. That a fruit bowl had to suffer for it (and Martha still wearing that mask, hi-larious), well... Collateral damage, I suppose. But it’s great that there’s one such type like Cyrell who absolutely ensures that everything is put on the table, because she doesn’t like sneaky business.
7. Jessika who offers herself to every possible man
Guys, this didn’t happen in the series itself, but afterwards during ‘Talking Married’: Jessika finally admitted that she was trying to flirt with Nic and the bomb exploded between Dan and her. Live. On TV. And it’s pure enjoyment. You should definitely look it up on YouTube. I don’t quite understand why Dan was even surprised by this, she wasn’t exactly the most honest person around, and how easily she threw herself at Dan… On the same night that Nic politely declined.
8. The complete misunderstanding of Melissa towards Dino
In this case, I am fully #teamMelissa, because what Dino said was also gibberish to me. And Melissa’s not having it. On the honeymoon, when Dino starts talking about the nine-armed Sheeva again: ‘Please, it’s 8 o’clock in the morning.’ Girl, you are absolutely right. Let me just wake up peacefully before we start with spirituality. But as hilarious as they were together, she still kept trying with him.
9. Sam and everything related to Sam
The man who called Lizzie a ‘bigger girl’ and is crowned by me as the King of Gaslighting in the History of Ever. Seriously, how that man undermined everything said to him, it was almost scary. Never admitting anything, always blaming someone else, and playing the innocent victim. And you know what I actually enjoy the most? That that ‘handsome’ Sam looks very different now. Look and shudder. Dave Roelvink look-a-like?
10. All of Lizzie's facial expressions
Seriously. This girl. Those eyes. Obsessed.
