Married At First Sight: Viewers refuse to forgive Ines
Ines tearfully apologised to Bronson and Elizabeth for her affair with Sam, but it wasn’t enough for viewers to forgive her.
The majority of Married At First Sight viewers seemed unwilling to forgive Ines for her past behaviour on the reality show despite watching her break down in tears last night.
Ines was this season’s original villain and she sparked outrage with her treatment of Bronson and subsequent affair with Sam.
But during last night’s emotional reunion, Ines faced the music and apologised to both Bronson and Elizabeth (Sam’s “wife”) for her behaviour.
She opened up about the emotional toll her fling with Sam (who didn’t show up for the reunion) had taken on her and claimed he had led her on.

“He was very good at making you think you’re the s**t person,” she said. “I’m not saying I’m perfect, I’m heavily flawed.
“But when someone is consistently doing these things to you with empty promises and then just totally falling off the face of the earth … and then they’re telling you that you’re bats**t crazy, then you’re like, ‘Now I’m bats***t crazy so I’m the problem,’ and then you just hate yourself.”

Ines told the other contestants that she had genuine feelings for Sam but was betrayed by him.
“When you find someone and you can be so open and vulnerable with them, obviously you guys didn’t see what we were like behind closed doors or what our personal communications were like, I don’t know, it’s just devastating,” she said.
Despite Ines’ touching speech, viewers refused to forgive and forget with some even accusing her of crocodile tears.

I can't believe Ines got a redemption/victimhood story. She initiated the whole affair. #mafs

I don't buy Ines's crocodile tears - the way she treated Bronson. This is karma for her. #MAFS #MAFSAU

Iâm sorry but I donât feel sorry for Ines. She saw what Sam was doing to Lizzie and how he lied and treated her, didnât it click at all that if can do that to his âwifeâ that he would have no trouble in doing it to someone else aka her? #MAFS

Australia: Wow, that's 3 too many. #MAFSAU #MAFS #MAFSAustralia
Hang on... Are we supposed to feel sorry for Ines because she didn't like her own fake husband so she tried to steal someone else's fake husband and surprise surprise he turned out to be a knob?#MAFS #MAFSAustralia #MAFSAU

It wasn’t all negative feedback for Ines though. Many viewers congratulated her for fronting up and owning her behaviour.
Ines is the Bradbury of MAFS finale. All the other bitches fell on their faces and she has risen. What a swerve #MAFS

Tonight I believe we saw the real Ines. I think the show made her out to be the biggest bitch for entertainment value and has totally messed this girls life up. I felt for her tonight. #mafs

I take back everything I said about Ines. Sam is the real bitch. #MAFS

Ines apologising was enough proof of her growth in the experiment. #MAFS

I read that Ines dealt with lots of abuse during the shows premiere. I think she had lots of time to reflect and although it's not nice to see someone cry, it's good to see her emotionally vulnerable instead of her usual rigid self. #mafs #mafsau

So Ines is not a monster. She is a vulnerable human being like all of us. #mafs

After seeing Ines so raw and genuine tonight it makes me question whether her whole evil facade before was just an act that the producers made her do for the ratings #mafs
