The Second ‘MAFS’ Episode Recapped Via Hilarious Tweets
Last night’s Married At First Sight episode introduced us to two brand new couples who tied the knot and the matches actually seemed really good for once. But don’t get too comfortable, because we know those sneaky MAFS producers are always up to something — it wouldn’t make good TV if they weren’t.
But first let’s backtrack: following on from the fallout of Bronte and Harrison’s dramatic wedding, Harrison assured Bronte that he’s in it for the “right reasons” and at this stage, it looks like she’s willing to believe him.
So Harrison and Bronte, and Cam and Lyndall depart on their respective honeymoons and that’s the last time we’ll ever see them.
Haha, just kidding. I think.
Onto our new couples…
The experts paired up Sandy, a stunning Punjabi-Indian woman with Dan, a wholesome, twice-married dad as their first match, before giving marriage celebrant Jesse a run for his money with high-energy Claire, a kindergarten assistant.
The matches seemed to go VERY well until… well, let’s just recap it via tweets, shall we?
Here’s what happened on last night’s Married at First Sight as recapped via the best tweets:
Harrison explained to Bronte that he had a life before MAFS and she opened up about her fears about being disposable. Harrison assured her he’s left his dating past behind for this process. I’ll believe it when I see it!
Oh look at that. Harrison is immediately making my skin crawl. #MAFSAU #DelayedViewing

Ok Jesse is quickly taking the doucebag title from Harrison #mafsau #mafs

We then met our next couple: Sandy from Victoria who’s going up against her parents and Indian culture to go on the show. She’s matched with Dan, a single dad from Queensland.
If Dion and Matthew from last season #MAFS had a less alcoholic love child it would be Dan#MAFSAU pic.twitter.com/911sbdMO7K

Jesse the marriage celebrant is back with his list of “icks” but what we do learn is that he’s looking for a girl with tattoos. He’s matched with Claire, a kindergarten assistant who has a bunch of tattoos, thankfully. Phew!

#MAFSAU men like jesse will list that every single trait of a woman gives him the ick and then wonder why he’s single
you just don’t like women dude i hate to tell you but you’re actually gay

This guy going on about all his icks as if he isn’t a massive walking ick himself… god I love this stupid show #MAFSAU #MAFS

Jesse should've just said "I don't respect women" to save us all 90 minutes of torture.#MAFS #MAFSAU

Sandy ‘fesses up to her parents about getting married to a stranger but her parents don’t want to be filmed. Sandy leaves their house distraught after they expressed their disapproval. She then reads out a heartfelt message from her best friend supporting her and we’re not crying, you are.
Sandy is beautiful, and she and her friends must be protected AT ALL COSTS. What a beautiful expression of female friendship #MAFSAU

I hope this works out for Sandy because the "We told you so" from her parents will last a lifetime. #mafs #mafsau

Dan’s friends entered the ceremony and immediately call it “over the top”. After finding out Sandy is of Indian heritage one “friend” commented that Dan doesn’t know what he’s in for. Um, shut up!
the guests acting like an indian wedding is so shocking is actually giving me the shits #MAFSAU

I hope it's the edit, but Dan's friends are cooked.#MAFS #MAFSAU

We need more multicultural representation on tv. Especially if Dan’s friends’ first impressions are anything to go by. #MAFSAU #MAFS

A nervous Sandy walked down the aisle to Dan who asks if she’s OK and before telling her she looks beautiful. Dan’s shallow, judgemental friends come around to Sandy as she reads her heartfelt vows.
Dan's guest, looking around the room: "I don't think this is what he signed up for either" I was wondering what passive aggressive racism sounded like #MAFS #mafsau #MAFSAustralia

Oh you’re over your racism now that she made you laugh? Cute #MAFS #MAFSAU

Sandy needs to tag that makeup artist because holy shit, most stunning bride to date.#MAFS #MAFSAU

Meanwhile, over at Jesse and Claire’s wedding, Jesse is stoked to see his “ungodly hot” bride walking towards him and is left speechless… for once in his life. They bond over their tattoos and their loud, clicking jaws. Whatever works, I guess.
#MAFSAU ok, the jaw comment was funny. Maybe I won’t spend all season wanting to drop kick the celebrant
— Steph the sarcastic sequin (@Steph_Simmons89) January 30, 2023
Nothing sexier than seeing who’s jaw can click the loudest.#MAFSAustralia #MAFSAU

Things are going super well between Jesse and Claire until Claire asks Jesse’s birthday to find out his horoscope and you can see his brain having a meltdown. Things got worse when she started talking about crystals. Jesse hates horoscopes and crystals! And many other things!
This man, who clearly does not shampoo his hair…has a list? #mafs #mafsau pic.twitter.com/as9Uw1HaU4
— Ira Snave (@IraSnave) January 30, 2023
This man has the audacity to have a list of things he dislikes in women. This man. This. Man. This…man. I would be speechless if it weren't absolutely consistent with my experience of men.#mafs #mafsau pic.twitter.com/sNfDZ7EFSv

Sandy opened up to Dan about her parents and he’s super impressed with her sense of self. They share a beautiful moment where he reassures her that there is no rush and he’s just keen to get to know her.
The MATURITY between Dan and Sandy is killing me. That’s the kind of relationship you want to have #MAFSAU
— pige (@paigemalice) January 31, 2023
Ok Sandy & Dan seem like an actual couple and I'm feeling it.#MAFSAU

Claire gifted Jesse with a crystal and he nearly entered full blown “ick” territory, but managed to pull it together, saying that he’ll respect Claire’s passions. They seal the deal with a kiss.
If Claire loses any sliver of confidence because of this beast, I will hunt Jesse down and bully him to the ends of the earth #MAFS #MAFSAU

As the couples embark on their honeymoons, things are going smoothly for Dan and Sandy in Singapore, but Jesse is starting to realise Claire is… still kind of annoying him. I guess having someone match your energy isn’t all it’s cracked up to be!
*wants someone high energy*
*annoyed when he’s matched someone high energy* #MAFS #MAFSAU

Upon arriving at the Whitsundays, things are tense between the pair after Jesse told his new wife to “shush” and he tried to explain sometimes he needs… silence. Relatable, tbh.
Of course Jesse is a shusher. #MAFS #MAFSAU pic.twitter.com/DbNdySRvHN
— So Dramatic! (@sodramaticpod) January 31, 2023
The irony of Jesse shooshing her within 24 hours of meeting when he LITERALLY has not shut up since his oblong ass face hit the screen. USE UR CRYSTALS AND FREE URSELF CLAIRE #MAFS #MAFSAU
— Lami? (@heungminnie) January 31, 2023
Nah the fact that this confident, gorgeous woman is now second guessing whether she should speak or not bc of this greasey Aldi Russell Brand? Throw him in the bin. #MAFSAU
