Welcome to the first commitment ceremony of the 2021 season of Married at First Sight, and what a doozy it was!

If you need a refresher, the commitment ceremony is a weekly process where the couples opt to leave or stay in their relationship. However, if one person decides to stay while the other decides to leave, they then both have to stay. Definitely healthy and normal!

We didn’t actually bid farewell to any couples tonight, even though logically we should’ve said goodbye to at least three.

Coco did opt to leave wannabe fashion designer and overall POS Sam, but he opted to stay maybe in the hopes to get his fledging clothing label a bit more airtime.

For some unknown reason, Beth decided she was interested in hanging out with Russell for another week even though she has clearly friendzoned him and his childlike palate. Poor Rusty tried to leave to go back to a life of steak, hot chips, and no pink fish.

And in another rocky marriage, Cam did an absolutely dog moving opting to stay and keep Samantha away from her kids for another week under the pretense of giving their marriage another shot, even though it’s clear he just wants to stay for some morning Coco Pops.

Luckily for you, I’d get too pissed off if I was recapping this solely on my own so let’s head straight to the funny tweets.

Here’s tonight’s Married at First Sight commitment ceremony retold via the best tweets.

Everyone acts out for the cameras that they are the strongest couple, before the girls go off to discuss their choice together and the boys are separated to um and ahh over their own choices.

Holy peanut butter and carrot sticks, Belinda and Patrick are up first to discuss their connection with the experts.

Russell opts to leave while for some reason Beth decides she wants to stay and fight another week for some Instagram followers or something.

Jake and Rebecca’s time with the experts is like watching a slow-moving car crash, and eventually John snaps to put Bec in her place.

We speed through Booka and Brett’s decision as well as Jo and James’s decision. They all decide to stay.

Bryce doesn’t miss another opportunity to be crowned Australia’s Worst Guy, once again telling everyone Melissa isn’t his usual type, this time because she doesn’t have blue eyes.

Alana lightens the mood by talking about Jason’s sexual prowess.

Samantha wants to leave and go home, while Cameron forces her to stay another week.

As Coco and Sam take centre stage, Bryce calls Sam out on being a dickhead. Pot, meet kettle.

And Sam is the only person in Australia who is shocked when Coco opts to leave the experiment, while he chooses to stay.
