MAFS groom Mark mocked for having only one cup
It was supposed to be a heartfelt confession about this MAFS groom’s search for love but it didn’t take long for viewers to mock one detail.
It was supposed to be a heartfelt confession about Married At First Sight groom Mark’s search for love.
But instead the retired army man’s reveal he had never said I love you to a partner was widely mocked as he explained just how it had impacted his living arrangements.
“There are some nights that I get lonely. I’ve lived on my own for a long period of time. so I don’t have a kettle, I don’t have an iron,” Mark confessed.
“Like, I’ve got one plastic cup in my house. I’ve got one plate. And there’s plenty of room in the dishwasher for two.”
While Mark, who was paired with mother of three Ning, seemed genuine in his wish for a partner, viewers couldn’t help but point out how ridiculous it was that a 41-year-old man could live with only one cup, one plate and NO kettle.
Like, how would that even work?

Mark was in a 4.5 year relationship and never said I love you. This together with the one cup are HUGE RED FLAGS #MAFS

Meanwhile Mike, 44, got a nationwide eye roll after complaining about leaving a “trail of hearts in my wake” and was likened to last year’s villain Dean Wells.
“I’m a social guy! I’ve always had attention from girls, you know, that’s not a bad thing,” he said.
“I’ve been travelling around the world and staying in hostels and meeting women half my age, and I’ve just left a trail of hearts in my wake, but I’m exhausted by it. I cannot break another heart.”
Mark's done the fighting thing, now he's looking for love! #MAFS pic.twitter.com/p6mOKxMSBl

As he prepared for his wedding ceremony with radio presenter Heidi, the confident bachelor did push ups in the sauna and declared his bride was “not going to hate what she sees” — leaving viewers unimpressed.
Mike seems like the kind of guy who would talk about Mike in the third person #MAFS
