That Messy ‘MAFS’ Commitment Ceremony Recapped In Tweets
Sunday night’s commitment ceremonies on Married at First Sight are often the most chaotic episodes, and last night was no exception.
Fresh from telling her husband Duncan that she had cheated before, Alyssa was the most vocal and unforgiving towards Claire last night, despite the cheating bride expressing loads of remorse and regret towards her treatment of Jesse and Janelle.
If you look up ‘hypocrisy’ in the dictionary, you’ll find Alyssa’s mug.
It was a night shaped by baffling moments, as during another scene, Harrison started to sob when opening up about Bronte’s struggles with endometriosis. We weren’t buying it and neither were the experts.
There’s a lot to cover from Sunday’s antics so let’s hop straight in! Hop, hop!
Last night’s messy commitment ceremony on Married at First Sight recapped in tweets:
Adam is still sooking over the dinner party as he reckons his voice wasn’t being heard. I heard your voice plenty, champ. Alyssa and Duncan are still bickering over the cheating saga… that doesn’t involve them in the slightest.
Adam is a proper fuckboi.
"Oh I suppose everyone in there is perfect?"
No, Adam, but you're worse.#MAFS #MAFSAU

“Adam, why did you kiss Claire?”

Jesse reads Claire’s letter (read aloud in a soap opera-style voiceover) where she apologised profusely. We then jump straight into the commitment ceremony, private girly/blokey chats be damned!

Janelle and Adam are first up and the vibe is frosty. Alessandra calls Adam out for justifying his cheating and showing more concern for Jesse than for Janelle at the dinner party. As Adam further defends his behaviour, Lyndall calls him out for flirting with other women. Oop!
I can understand Janelle not wanting to sit next to Adam but she siting next to Harrison? #MAFS #MAFSAU pic.twitter.com/pFX9rVf8Nq

Janelle is sitting that far apart from Adam she could be classed to be in a different postcode #MAFS #MAFSAU

Sandy jumps in to defend Claire, and for some reason, Alyssa cuts her off. Lyndall jumps back in to say that at least Claire is showing remorse, unlike Adam. Daddy John has the final word: he tells Adam that he’s making “bad choices”. Adam and Janelle both vote to leave. Adam walks out, but no one follows him.
Lets get the wife of the man Alyssa had an affair with on the couch to see her reaction to Alyssa's dramatics.#MAFS #MAFSAU

Alyssa starts to sob uncontrollably on the couch, revealing that Duncan maintaining a friendship with Adam has been “triggering” for her. Considering Alyssa’s history of cheating, everyone is rather confused she’s being so self-righteous. Despite their rocky week, they both vote to stay.
Alyssa of ‘knowing she was having an affair with a married man for 6 months’ fame. and now claiming moral superiority over her partner for not completely stonewalling a guy about a kiss. Spare me…. #MAFSAU #MAFS pic.twitter.com/HmFxO1Yrft

I’m so confused by Alyssa’s stance on this whole thing. By her logic, shouldn’t Duncan have kicked her to the curb after she told him she‘s cheated before, because otherwise then he’s “associating” with her and condoning her past actions? pic.twitter.com/DP4zxlnjLl

Melinda and Layton have never been better, they’re even getting along for multiple days at a time! True love exists! Dreams do come true! Ollie and Tahnee are predictably perfect.

Harrison is alone on the couch, revealing that Bronte’s endometriosis stopped her from coming to the ceremony. But in a bizarre turn, Harrison starts to sob… about it. No one knows what’s happening.
Harrison is definitely not ready for his close up Mr DeMille ?#MAFS #MAFSAU pic.twitter.com/iXeluMnsoq

Harrison not even being able to say “period” and then getting oddly emotional about her getting emotional … is the weirdest acting I’ve ever seen in this show. PLEASE THIS IS SO EMBARRASSING FOR HIM #MAFSAU

Newbies Evelyn and Rupert plonk on the couch, and John roasts Rupert for being such an awkward dude. Weird flex but OK. He opens up that he doesn’t think Evelyn is attracted to him, and she confirms that she is.
What I imagine everytime someone mentions Rupert #MAFSAU #mafsaunz #mafs pic.twitter.com/PO8oWRxKPp

Sandy and Dan are no longer vibing after an explosive argument over Sandy feeling neglected. Sandy said he’s often gone for hours at a time, despite them supposedly in an experiment together. Dan then reveals he’s not currently sexually attracted to Sandy. They both vote to stay.
Sandy’s fucking gorgeous and seems very genuine and kind. Honestly, she can do better than Dan ??♀️ #MAFS #MAFSAU #mafsaunz #MAFSAustralia

Tayla complains about Hugo excessively complimenting her, like calling her “adorable” and “cute”. She would prefer to be called ‘smart, quick, and driven’… by the man she just met. She then admits she’s not attracted to Hugo, as he’s not her type.
"I'm anything but adorable and cute".

Mel listening to Tayla talk shit waiting for her moment to clap back.. you're a dud darl, that's why you're here isn't it?! ?#mafs #MAFSAustralia #mafsau pic.twitter.com/HdQJo9r7K9

Lyndall and Cam are at breaking point. During a FaceTime with Lyndall’s mum, Cam refused to hug Lyndall to comfort her. He said he found the exchange “unnatural” and “weird”, and Lyndall says that she thinks he’s repulsed by her. They seemingly make up then vote to stay together.
you know what? i’m gonna say it. cam is too emotionally immature for a long term relationship and i genuinely hope that lyndall ends up with josh #MAFS #MAFSAU

Jesse and Claire are the last couple on the couch. John asks why Claire didn’t come clean about the cheating earlier, lying to both Jesse and Janelle in the process. Sandy tries to defend Claire, but Alyssa and Melinda are filthy with her.

Jesse starts to sob as Claire apologises. Jesse chooses to leave the experiment while Claire elects to stay, as she wants to attempt to make amends. Jesse says he’s exhausted and John praises him for taking the cheating news so well, encouraging him to give Claire another chance.
"To be honest, I kind of feel a bit grumpy."
Me too, Jesse. Me bloody too.#MAFS #MAFSAU

So the experts gave Caitlin the opportunity to leave due to Shannon and Josh leave due to Melissa so why not give Jesse that opportunity to leave? The man clearly looks broken
