MAFS 2020 Episode 9 Recap: Triggered

To counter the usual Married At First Sight recaps, Confidential’s JMo and Benge share their private text exchange as they watched tonight’s commitment ceremony.

JMo: We are on – show time! Physical connection – tick, that kills me every time

Benge: So cringe

J: They need more of a recap – what happened with Dave and Hayley? I must have been on the toilet for that bit. Bring on the commitment ceremony. Hayley – stage five clinger!

B: These bogans need subtitles

J: I like how they lie around their fake apartments as if they’re candid when it’s clear they’ve spent three hours in hair and makeup

B: Right? (smiley face)

J: Ivan cannot be for real? They say Stacey is 25 – she has to be over 40?

B: At the very least

J: I can’t handle the fact Jonethen spells his name like that? People think I’m weird with an on as in Jonathon

B: Ivan’s cray cray - Insta followers come at meee!! – Tash

J: Could there be any less chemistry between Amanda and Tash? This is all so set up – it’s like Unreal the TV show. You can feel the producers in the background coaching these peeps. Amanda saying, “I knew that Tash was going to come in, have a few drinks and be flirty. I wouldn’t date someone that was sucking down wines, sitting on every Tom Dick and Harry, it’s just not the sort of woman I would date. I’m annoyed because I don’t feel like we are in a relationship at the moment.” News flash Amanda! This isn’t real. I’d like to see more of Mikey with his shirt off FYI. These experts are kidding themselves – I like how they’re called experts now rather than proper titles. And what is with ‘expert’ John Aitken’s hair – next he will tell us he is 25 like Stacey

J: What even is a ‘relationship expert’?

B: I’m confused by John’s bowl cut (laugh face emoji). He gives me Mr Bean vibes

J: John, how can the contestants trust what they’re feeling when they know they’re being set up. Surely John et al are in on this

B: Yeah it’s OTT with the bad acting

J: Tash is frothing for Hayley. Hayley – ‘I’m such a good egg. I do feel judged constantly.’ I mean holy hell, yes Hayley we are judging you!!!!!

B: How are these “experts” still employed? Embarrassing

J: I don’t think they are employed, are they? Meanwhile how good is spaghetti bol on a Sunday night – delicious!!!

B: The best!

J: Cathy and Josh make me want to puke – he could fart in her face and she’d still be smiling. Is it a connection though or a hunger for them cash moneys as a successful couple post show

B: Yep she’ll get bored eventually I reckon. You don’t spend that much on plastic surgery to be with a boy next door

J: David says he is tired of not speaking his truth – I’m just tired of him and Hayley

B: Same. Mental at First Sight. Why do they all have thigh tatts? All that’s missing is a VB and ciggies

J: Amanda and Tash – bring it on!!!! just looking at them, surely they don’t look like a good match. Amanda looks like she’d go to bed by 7.30pm

B: Amanda is too intense

J: Tash – ‘I wish I felt burning firey chemistry but I don’t want to bullshit’. The eye roll from Amanda, ouch. Amanda is totally up for ‘intimacy’ with Tash. Tash has friend zoned Amanda and she’s not having a bar of it

B: She’s clearly not into Amanda but chose to stay because she wants insta fame

J: EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!! Amanda wants to tackle the ‘experiment’ by the balls! go gurl! Next couple … Michael and Stacey. Michael is a creep from that first episode where he came to blows with the blokes about taking the girl. Expert John gives Michael and Stacey 5 stars – gross

B: Stacey looks like Michael’s hot stepmum

J: Thoughts on Connie and Jonethen??? My boyfriend is always at me for being on my phone. He has a very high hairline #justsaying Chris and Vanessa, I forgot they were even on the show. Mikey looks 12

B: I can’t take Mr Bean seriously

J: Same. Mikey is pretending to be the nice guy, in reality he is a total player right? Steve is also a bit Mr Bean don’t you think?

B: Haha yep

J: There is so much more to the Poppy and Luke situation – she won’t stay. And it is not just cos of her two kids, she looks so uncomfortable with Luke

B: Oh gosh, more tears from Poppy. She’s a liar. Keeps using her kids as a cop out.

J: She’s staying????? what???? He’s staying???? ewww, no more sympathy for Poppy – you reap what you sow yeah

B: She needs to be in therapy not on a reality show.

J: True. I can’t stand Ivan, he scares me, and what is with this Botox – tooooo much! Burn – Aleks just shut Ivan down – I’m into tall, dark and handsome. Ivan is tall, one out of three. what do you think of Aleks and Ivan?

B: I think they’re both too up their own backsides to make it work.

J: rofl! is rofl even a thing still? showing my age

B: Haha! And you’re right about the Botox! They all got the Kylie Jenner special

J: David: ‘Hopefully we are able to air a lot of dirty laundry tonight. I came here with high hopes but don’t really hold a lot of hope for our relationship’. Ouch. Expert John sounds so insincere about their rocky time. Poor Dave and Hayley. Hayley and Dave hate each other – I bet they’ll stay to boost their profiles and they’re the only real storyline for the show. Producers won’t let them go. This is just cruel – whatever you think of Hayley or Dave, they are like shooting fish in a barrel, this is nasty, unnecessarily so

B: Yeah this kind of exploitation is next level. Uncomfortable viewing. Good work producers

J: No wonder they left this couple til the end, this is car crash. Why is Hayley apologising

B: For complaining about his wage

J: Cringe. Hayley – ‘I’ve got the biggest heart’. my question – do you have a big heart if you tell people you have a big heart? AND … they stay! gross

B: She needs to wash her mouth out with soap

J: Puke! John – ‘that was a very revealing commitment ceremony and we are very grateful for how raw and honest you have all been.’ I call bullshit – he is incredibly grateful because they made great TV. this is impossible not to watch

B: Yeah pass me a bucket. It pains me to say it. And, tomorrow night, they move in together … duh duh duh

J: MAFS. Ruining lives one day at a time
