James Weir recaps Married At First Sight episode 9: Beauty queen outs gross toilet habit on TV

One MAFS groom acts out with a bratty move after being dobbed on, while another has his gross toilet habit outed on national TV. James Weir recaps.

Married At First Sight’s contestants turn on each other at Sunday’s commitment ceremony, with bad behaviour getting aired out like Ryan’s bathroom when he goes to the toilet with the door open.

Needless to say, we continue to get to know the MAFS freaks more intimately than we ever cared to.

It all ends with the experts issuing a stern warning: literally no one else in the country wants to date you.

JAMES WEIR:Read all the recaps here

Trash Towers has been rocked to the foundation with whispers that Jake trash-talked all the other wives behind their backs during the Hot Or Not challenge.

Need a refresher? Jake, a P.E. teacher with a nose ring, said Jacqui has crazy eyes and Rhi has a lazy eye and that he wasn’t attracted to Awhina because he “mostly” prefers “caucasian people”.

Then his disgusted wife Ashleigh got wine-drunk on a whole bottle of Squealing Pig before squealing to Sierah, who Jake described as having the energy of a serial killer.

Now, hungover in the harsh light of day, Ashleigh has to confess to her husband that she has exposed him.

“Did you tell those girls what I said about them?” he scolds.

Ashleigh hangs her sore head. “I regret it.”

Jake is fuming. “Ash went behind my back and broke my trust.”

In an ironic twist, the betrayal forces Jake to adopt crazy eyes and emit the energy of a serial killer.

Down the hall, Katie is still solo after being critiqued and abandoned by her husband Tim who has fled the city. We watch as she writes the word LEAVE on one of the decision cards, even though the decision has already been made for her. She’s reclaiming her narrative and taking control. There’s only one thing left for her to do: purchase a new sapphire-encrusted reptile necklace.

At the commitment ceremony, Katie sits alone and prepares for a triumphant farewell chat with the experts. Finally, she gets to tell her side of the story without Tim gaslighting and belittling her.

Then the door swings open. Producers shove in Tim, who lumbers across the room, looking incredibly flushed following an intense day at the inter-school Tunnel Ball tournament.

The experts will deal with Tim in a moment. First, they must assess the show’s other problematic P.E. teacher with a nose ring.

On the couch, Ashleigh reveals how Jake slagged off the other wives in the Hot Or Not challenge.

“I tried to make some jokes,” Jake retaliates.

Billy, who’s married to the serial kill … uh … sorry. Let me start that again: Billy, who’s married to Sierah, yells out and defends his wife.

“You said my wife looks like someone who stands at the end of ya bed with a knife!” he heckles.

Ashleigh continues to recite the rest of her husband’s insults.

“He said Jacqui has crazy eyes!” she tells the room. “And about Awhina, he said, ‘I’m not racist or anything, but I’m more of a caucasian girl kinda guy’.”

Still, she’s willing to put the ugly moment aside and fight for her marriage. But Jake is not. He’s feeling just a tad bratty after being dobbed on.

“It was hard to hear she talked about me behind my back,” he sniffs.

Well, at least she didn’t go behind your back and tell everyone you have crazy eyes.

“I feel like I can’t trust Ash,” he says while grandly revealing his decision card: LEAVE.

But his decision actually doesn’t matter. As per the rules of this esteemed show, when one person decides to leave and another chooses to stay, the request to exit is voided and the couple must remain in Trash Towers for another week.

It goes without saying that Ashleigh and Jake’s union will be more strained than Jacqui’s eyes.

… Did someone say ‘serial killer vibes’? Picture: Channel 9.

Speaking of Jacqui, the former beauty queen and her husband Ryan hit the couch and pick a fight with the experts.

“We’re curious how you guys pretty much ignored what we said,” Ryan criticises their matchmaking abilities.

“I said I love cooking, and I’d love someone I can cook with. And Jacqui hates cooking.”

Well, Ryan, Jacqui doesn’t have time to cook. She’s too busy reading thousands of nonfiction books and making her first $500 million. Chuck a McCain’s lasagne in the microwave and jam it.

Jacqui has some gripes of her own. She tells an anecdote that’s chilling. Literally.

“It was quite cold,” she recalls. “I suggested we turn the temperature up. But he wanted the temperature down.”

Her voice cracks as she reflects on the harrowing experience. And it’s not the only confronting moment she has been faced with. She turns to her husband to publicly expose an appalling act that is grounds for an instant divorce.

“Not closing the (door) when you’re using the bathroom!” she blurts out.

The room reacts appropriately to the revelation that Ryan goes to the toilet with the door open.

Suddenly, everyone else’s problems seem insignificant compared to Jacqui having to deal with Ryan’s open door policy. Picture: Channel 9.

Expert John Aiken rolls his eyes. With a sigh, he delivers a harsh piece of advice.

“You’re both insufferable and no one else in this country wants to date you,” he informs them.

OK, that’s not verbatim what he says — but it’s the gist.

‘Jacqui, put a jumper on. Ryan, close the bathroom door.’ Picture: Channel 9.

Newsflash: no one else in this country will date you. Picture: Channel 9.

Finally, Katie and Tim hit the couch. She tells the experts everything – how he gaslit her and said he wasn’t attracted to her.

He tries to interrupt. Katie, inspired by her reptile necklace, snaps back like a crocodile.

“I’m not done talking,” she snips.

One question still lingers. Why, after rejecting his wife and fleeing the city in the dark of night, has Tim returned?

“I was hopeful,” he says.

Hopeful of … what?

Both decide to leave.

We hold out hope that Tim gets heckled by hundreds of chanting students at tomorrow’s school assembly.

And Katie? She might not have found love, but she has found something even better: her voice. And an ambassadorship deal as the face of Australia Zoo’s new jewellery line.
