Married At First Sight: Mike roasted by comedians

Tommy Little, Cal Wilson and Urzila Carlson were just some of the comedians who unleashed on Mike for his behaviour on the reality show.

MAFS 2019 Episode 41 Recap: The Season Finale

Married At First Sight’s Mike has copped an absolute battering from some of Australia’s most-loved comedians.

Tommy Little, Cal Wilson, Urzila Carlson and Dilruk Jayasinha were some of the comedians who took part in a Gogglebox-esque segment on The Weekly with Charlie Pickering last night.

They missed MAFS when it aired on TV but watched a recap of the Channel 9 show’s most shocking moments in the segment.

And they could not believe their eyes when they watched the scene where Heidi opened up to Mike about growing up in foster care only for him to reply, “I’m not your therapist”.

Mike and Heidi aren’t together anymore. Shocker.

“Oh my god,” comedian Dilruk Jayasinha said when he saw the footage.

“Wow, what an ar**ehole,” Cal Wilson exclaimed.

The best comment came from Urzila Carlson who said, “Guys like that make more lesbians than speedos on the beach!”

After watching the recap, Carlson added, “It was literally bogans meeting for the first time and then tying the knot. This was legal in Australia before gay marriage!”

Mike was one of this season’s most controversial contestants on Married At First Sight. He was accused of being a narcissist and of “gaslighting” his TV wife, Heidi.

Earlier this month, he shrugged off those claims in a bizarre interview with The Sydney Morning Herald in which he blamed the backlash against him on “a shift in consciousness of the public toward men which favours women”.

“Are you telling me that men can’t stand up for themselves?” Mike said.

“Are men now so emasculated that we can’t speak our minds? That we can’t be real? That we have to somehow fulfil the expectations of those around us?

“I simply refuse to do that, and I am speaking on behalf of all men in this country.”

Mike and Heidi split not long after they finished filming Married At First Sight despite Mike telling Heidi he loved her in the final commitment ceremony.

“We just don’t seem to care for one another like we should,” Mike told Hit96.9 radio duo Josiah & Elly about the reason for their split.

“We’ve just put each other through the ringer. We’ve hurt one another unnecessarily. It was exhausting, and it was more difficult than it should have been. I don’t think that we particularly supported one another the way that we should have.

“I don’t know what she’s telling the world, we’re just two different people. Just fights over silly stuff, and I just couldn’t win her over. I don’t want to make criticisms, I don’t want to point fingers, but I’m just gonna have to say I guess it was both of us.”

As for what he’ll do now MAFS is over, Mike told news.com.au he was planning to start a podcast with “long-form discussions of issues that concern me and hopefully can benefit society in some way”.

He’s planning to call it I’m Not Your Therapist. Seriously.
