The Messy End Of ‘MAFS’ Couples Retreat Retold In A+ Tweets
Couples retreat has finally ended on Married at First Sight and I don’t know about you, but I’m not feeling particularly rested or relaxed after last night’s stressful episode.
Most of Tuesday’s episode revolved around Bronte and Harrison (surprise!) who are now at war with Melinda and Layton, after Harrison told some straight-up lies about how Layton described his blossoming relationship with the stunning CEO.
Of course, the blame somehow fell on an apologetic Bronte — who we hope locates a spine asap — as she continues to believe Harrison’s nonsense. The group united to tell the couple that no one believes they’re legit, and it looks like there’s some massive fallout between the couple on tonight’s dinner party. Stay tuned!
Until then, let’s rehash last night’s shitshow of an episode.
The final days of couples retreat on Married at First Sight retold in funny tweets:
Evelyn and Melinda snooped on boys’ night and overheard Harrison describe Layton’s relationship with Melinda as toxic and fake. Layton defends Melinda, replying that Harrison’s words were offensive and wrong. Ollie and Rupert jump in to back up Layton.

The girlies relay what they heard to the rest of the ladies, and Bronte walks off in a huff. In her absence, the girls discuss whether they believe Harrison and Bronte’s relationship, and then Claire drops a bombshell: Bronte told her she doesn’t see a future with Harrison. Meanwhile, Bronte tells Harrison about Evelyn/Melinda’s eavesdropping sesh. Layton confronts Melinda, and of course Harrison has to add his two cents.
Melinda wants to have a conversation with Layton and that’s all well and good but when can I have a chat to him about this outfit because I’m fucking confused? Hmm#MAFS #MAFSAU pic.twitter.com/M2bnK10CIk

Layton wants to get to the bottom of the eavesdropping.
Two girls pissed on cheap Prosecco ran down the hill to listen to their crush's conversations.
There, done. It's not exactly a Rubix cube.#MAFS #MAFSAU

Okay two things:
1. That’s a lie Bronte
2. You cant even continue the lie for more than 10 seconds???#MAFS #MAFSAU pic.twitter.com/uUuMM5FCbg

For once, Claire and Jesse are thriving. Ollie and Tahnee are couple goals too… as per usual.

Can we see more of Claire and Jesse kissing please. It’s rarer than a fucking Tasmanian tiger #MAFS #MAFSAU pic.twitter.com/1fjRwhK9Na

The same can’t be said about Layton and Melinda who are barely speaking. Harrison then tells Bronte that Layton said he’s not in a “happy and healthy” relationship. Umm. He what?
The softly spoken, sad tone this fuck adopts when he's in the midst of a manipulation

Tonights #MAFSAU drinking game, every time Harrison lies take a drink or shot.

Hugo and Tayla are still not talking. Lol. Hugo feels disrespected over Tayla speaking openly about sexting her ex. Back with the girls, Tahnee reflects on how Tayla speaks to Hugo, then Lyndall claims that the intruder bride is “into Cam”.
We have seen some people struggle with self reflection over the different series of #MAFSAU but I don’t think anyone is as blind to themselves as Tayla is. Not only is Hugo right with everything he has said he has only said the half of it.

Cam and Tayla deserve each other! Hugo would be a better match for Lyndall who deserves better than Cam and his crazy dictatorial mother #MAFSAU

Alyssa is still struggling with Duncan’s lack of attention so she umm… refuses to spend the day with him getting attention. Duncan confides in some of the other boys that he’s at his breaking point.

Duncan, tries to arrange spending the day with Alyssa – she says no; Duncan asks if she wants a hug, she says no then she’s crying that he’s not paying her any attention #mafs #mafsau pic.twitter.com/SMnN0tADzd

Bronte and Melinda get into a feisty chat. She defends Harrison but Melinda questions their legitimacy as a couple. Bronte replies they’re real before turning on Melinda: she says Layton told Harrison that their relationship “isn’t good”, and is not moving forward.
Looks like Bronte and Harrison have figured out this isn't actually a relationship show, it's a game show to capitalise screen time.
The tricky part of doing it in way you can leverage after the show end

The difference between Melinda and Harrison is she can see his dangerous toxic behaviour and is trying to protect Bronte, Harrison just likes to meddle in peoples business and is causing problems bc he doesn’t like her or what she has to say #mafs #mafsau

Melinda relays what Bronte said to Layton, and he denies it. He wants to focus on their relationship, but Melinda is spiralling and wants Harrison to be called out for his lies. She storms off, asking production to step in.
Layton seems like a solid guy.
His initial stance wasn't that he didn't want to back Melinda but just that Harrison wasn't worth their time.#MAFS #MAFSAU

Ahead of the final night at couples retreat, Evelyn and Melinda plot Harrison’s demise — queen shit! After discussing with Rupert, Layton tells Melinda that he will have her back.
Obsessed with Melinda and Layton, obsessed with Evelyn and Rupert, obsessed with Tahnee and Ollie, everyone else, lift your game. #MAFSAU

As the couples meet for drinks, Hugo brings up Tayla sexting her ex. She says it’s a “crock of shit” and calls Hugo “fragile” but the other brides/grooms back up Hugo. Tayla then comes at Evelyn for pulling faces, then randomly tells her to “f**k off”, and in reply, Evelyn says Tayla should grow up.
Tayla is absolutely losing her tiny mind by starting trouble with Evelyn #mafs #mafsau pic.twitter.com/tql3L5GX9p

“I didn’t know we were so sensitive about swear words” says the one who played victim for a week bc someone called her a cunt “why are you so involved” says the girl who started swearing at someone who wasn’t even saying a word #mafs #mafsau

Tayla storms off and Cam consoles her — interesting huh.

Cam with his own wife: you’re so needy and insecure for wanting affection
Cam with Tayla: you got called out for texting your ex? Give me a cuddle ? #MAFSAU— Melanie Bracewell (@meladoodle) March 7, 2023

Layton, Melinda, Harrison and Bronte have it out. Bronte questions what Harrison told her, and Harrison says that he doesn’t remember. Bronte then ends up apologising to Harrison?? Melinda calls Harrison a “manipulator” and tells him to stay away from her relationship.
Harrison buckles when a man challenges him on his behaviour. Bullying women is his sport but when called out by a man he’s stuttering, lost for words and like a true coward, blames his partner #MAFSAU #mafs

To openly manipulate and gaslight IN PUBLIC is fucking disgusting and this fuckwit needs off our screens immediately #MAFS #MAFSAU pic.twitter.com/dkfvx95aIZ

Bronte: Didn't you say their relationship wasn't in a good place?
Harrison: I don't remember that.
Harrison straight up throwing Bronte under the bus and she still doesn't get it? ?#MAFS #MAFSAU
— Married At First Sight Experts (@mafsexperts) March 7, 2023
Melinda then drops that everyone thinks that Harrison and Bronte aren’t real. Layton agrees. Bronte asks the group if this is true, and Alyssa and Claire share their hesitations. Evelyn announces that “all the girls” agreed. Well, that backfired.

Harrison and Bronte walk away, but Bronte does reveal in a confessional that the group’s judgments on their relationship ‘planted a seed’ in her view of him.
it’s the way i need a cigarette after watching this show and ion even smoke #MAFSAU
