The First Messy ‘MAFS’ Commitment Ceremony Recapped In Tweets
After two weeks of meeting this year’s Married at First Sight contestants and watching their chaotic weddings, we’ve finally reached the first commitment ceremony aka it’s time for these men to be finally held accountable by the experts.
And the experts did not disappoint! John was in fine form, giving both Harrison and Shannon a dressing down for deceiving their way on to the show. ICYMI: the two grooms applied for MAFS despite both carrying some hefty baggage in the form of their exes. Alessandra also got in on the Harrison hate parade — and it was iconic!
The whole Jesse/Claire/Adam love triangle came undone, as Lyndall dropped a bombshell on the group: she reckons Adam made some weird remark about going home with Claire on the messy night in question. Oop!
There’s a lot to discuss so let’s jump in!
The first Married at First Sight commitment ceremony recapped in tweets:
It’s commitment ceremony time! The girlies and fellas catch up to discuss their decisions. Lyndall doesn’t get involved, as she is harbouring a secret: she has info she wants to raise at the commitment ceremony.
Absolutely floored that Lyndall is becoming this year's drama starter both off and on the show.#MAFS #MAFSAU

Jesse and Claire are first to plop down on the couch. Jesse tells the experts about Adam and Claire sneaking off together on a night out. Adam says that Jesse’s actions were “not on” after he came into his room in the early hours, convinced Claire was talking to Adam on the phone. However, Claire reveals the voice Jesse thought was Adam was actually her friend’s boyfriend.
They're giving us Jesse and Claire FIRST?! #MAFS #MAFSAU pic.twitter.com/GGpGKCfMou

Just when Jesse is convinced that he got it wrong, Lyndall says that she overheard Adam joke that he would potentially go home with Claire. Jesse votes to leave but Claire elects to stay.
Do you see how fast Adam went from “I wasn’t flirting with anyone wtf I don’t even like Claire like that” to “well everyone was flirting with everyone ?” when he got exposed? Yup that man is GUILTYYYY #MAFSAU #MAFS

Adam and Janelle are next on the couch. Adam starts with an apology, Janelle says she’s feeling insecure, but they both agree to stay.

Ew Adam wAnts to apologise for how his actions are being portrayed? Get in the bin you fucking loser. An apology is only sincere if you mean it… not to make yourself look better. #MAFSAU

Dream couple Ollie and Tahnee choose to stay together, as do Melinda and Layton who reveal their connection has grown over time and they’ve started sleeping together. “The attraction came and it came a lot,” as Melinda described. Oh lordy!
i believe in tahnee and ollie supremacy #mafs #mafsau

There is always a couple that are a good match! Like Tahnee and Ollie, way to ruin a good show ??♂️??#MAFS

Sandy and Dan, along with Duncan and Alyssa, are also on solid ground, all choosing to stay in the experiment.
Dan and Sandy ? why is it that we no absolutely nothing about him besides the fact he’s already hooked up with someone else? Another fake couple.. boring.. #MAFS pic.twitter.com/utFLkDj6wB

Melissa and Josh are another story. They share that they’re on different pages in terms of the role sex should play in a relationship. But despite this, they vote to stay.
“I want you to like me for me and not because I have a penis”
Josh just found his Tinder bio #mafs #mafsau

Josh: ‘I really don’t feel comfortable talking about my sex life on TV, and would prefer to keep it discreet.’
Melissa: ‘OH SO WHAT YOU’RE SAYING IS YOU DON’T LIKE ME???’ ? #MAFS pic.twitter.com/Na9wnzUdJ5

Bronte and Harrison clash again (surprise!) after the groom makes a snarky remark about how he hasn’t seen his wife for a few weeks which ‘felt like a holiday’. This! Man!

Bronte: You were talking to a girl the day on our wedding day. There was a photo of your luggage.
Harrison: Are you sure she didn't she didn't take that picture?
Everyone: ….
Harrison: ….#MAFS #MAFSAU pic.twitter.com/ErJlULBY2m

Harrison then lashes out when Bronte brings up that his ex-GF helped her pack for MAFS. He reckons that “the truth got skewed” and he didn’t feel like he had to be faithful to Bronte before meeting her. Alessandra gives Harrison a dressing down — queen shit. Harrison votes to (foolishly) leave while Bronte chooses to (foolishly) stay.
This Queen is not here for Harrison's bullshit
Finish him #MAFS #MAFSAU pic.twitter.com/3Hyj5YBaj6

“Mumma didn’t raise a quitter” aka “I am contractually obliged to stay and participate in this shit show” #MAFSAU

Cameron and Lyndall are stronger than ever. Shannon drops a bombshell on the experts: he told Caitlin that he still loves his ex. He then reveals he was intimate with his ex a week before the experiment began. The group grills the groom on his decision to come on the show. However, Shannon and Caitlin both choose to stay.
Shannon basically just said ‘I’ve brought all my baggage but Caitlin’s a good girl, she can hold it while I sort my shit out’ #MAFSAU

So I’ve had a few days to reflect on my opinion on Shannon and I still find his fringe offensive, not to mention his behaviour #MAFS #MAFSAU pic.twitter.com/yhlcoJNasR

Daddy John slams Shannon and Harrison for being deceitful about seeing other women before the experiment began. Harrison responds, “That’s bullshit.” Boy bye!
JOHN INCLUDING HARRISON IN HIS DISAPPOINTED DAD SPEECH TO SHANNON IS PERFECT. Calling these two men out for the babies they are #MAFSAU

I'd rather have a pap smear every day of my life than listen to Harrison talk ever again.#MAFS #MAFSAU
