Harrison’s Downfall: That Disorderly ‘MAFS’ Dinner Party Recapped Via The Best Tweets
Ahh, the downfall of Harrison. We’ve all been waiting for this moment.
After weeks of terrible acting, fake tears, and backflipping over whether he’s into Bronte or not, I’d love to say we saw Harrison’s final performance at a dinner party last night but I’m not holding my breath just yet.
After dumping Bronte via text, Harrison then tried to deflect from his actions by putting heat on other couples during the dinner party — successfully getting into Jesse’s brain (more on that in a bit!) but unsuccessfully doing any more damage to Layton and Melinda.
They are strong and united once again! We love to see it!
As for our other couples: Alyssa and Duncan are still somewhat rocky post-retreat, Jesse and Claire SEEMED great up until Harrison entered the chat, Tahnee and Ollie are still angels, Cam decided to let his hair down which for some reason was a storyline in itself, and Hugo and Tayla decided to exit the experiment. Except Tayla had first ghosted him, then returned asking for another chance.
Keeping up? Me neither. Let’s just laugh at the funny tweets!
Here’s what happened during last night’s Married at First Sight dinner party.
i hope melinda had a wonderful international woman’s day. i love you mother #MAFS #MAFSAU pic.twitter.com/mEv1N3efHs

We learn that Harrison ended his marriage with Bronte over a text message.
The only one surprised by Harrison breaking up with Bronte via text is Bronte. #MAFSAU

This is the exact moment Harrison decided he had to end his fake relationship with Bronte.#MAFS #MAFSAU pic.twitter.com/n2mbW5f4h1

Harrison comes to ask Bronte if they can still be friends, and she says she can’t be friends with someone she was falling for. Harrison doesn’t understand why she’s so upset because they have an opportunity to be friends.
This Harrison and Brontë break up is as badly acted as the fake relationship designed to keep them getting airtime and all the attention #MAFSAU

Harrison: "I don't understand why you're so upset that I ended our fake relationship over text"
Bronte: **fake cries**
Producers: "fuck yes ratings gold"

At the cocktail party, after getting a text message from Tayla saying she has left the experiment, Claire pulls a poor confused Hugo aside and fills him in that his wife has done a runner.
Tayla leaving is such typical bully behaviour..as soon as they are confronted, they run away #MAFSAU
— Elizabeth Williams (@liz3108) March 8, 2023
Tayla’s gone. Cam washed his hair for nothing.#MAFS #MAFSAU

Bronte and Harrison make their very separate (but together) entrance and Bronte fills the girls in on Harrison’s breakup text. Harrison pretends to be upset in front of the boys.
Really says a lot about Melinda’s character that Bronte treated her horribly but she’s still there comforting her after Harrison left her. Like god she’s great. #MAFSAU

“Every time he tears up, god bless him, he doesn’t ACTUALLY cry” OLLI. WE AREN’T ALLOWED TO SHOW THIS MUCH VIOLENCE IN PRIMETIME ?? #MAFSAU

Has anyone got a montage of Layton's shocked face ? ??#MAFSAU pic.twitter.com/5XezJ9dIPQ

The dinner party is extremely tense until Alyssa addresses the “massive elephant in the room”. Harrison tries to deflect, but Melinda goes in for the kill. Harrison then tries to say that Bronte broke his trust.
“You continuously break my trust.”
TRANSLATION: “I no longer have any 100% manipulative power in this relationship and I want someone else I can brainwash.”#MAFSAU

Bronte finally wakes TF up and calls Harrison out on all his past bullshit. She then storms out in tears, while Lyndall comforts her. Meanwhile, Harrison tries to tell the dinner party that he’s been taken for a ride.
Bronte: I can't stand to look at Harrison right now.
Australia: me either.#MAFS #MAFSAU

“For me I need consistency” says the man who creates literal chaos for fun #MAFSAU
— Steph the sarcastic sequin (@Steph_Simmons89) March 8, 2023
#MAFSAU why did NONE of the blokes challenge toxic arsehat Harrison? They all think he’s a douche too but stay silent. The guy needs calling out by his peers or he just believes they’re all with him.
— Emma Jones, she/her, Project F (@MsJonesInSydney) March 8, 2023
Harrison says a lot of misogynistic shit, but it’s his smirk after he causes drama that’s most concerning. It’s sociopathic how much of a thrill he gets from tearing others down. #MAFS #MAFSAU
— Justine Spencer (She/Her) (@jotdownjustine) March 8, 2023
I mean it could just be the editing but can one of these men step up and tell this narcissistic gaslighter to shut the fuck up? Why is it ALWAYS the women holding him accountable? #MAFSAU
— Jules (@jules_moonaco) March 8, 2023
Claire calls Harrison out on his emotional manipulation and he tries to label her outburst as emotional, as well as saying she and Jesse have the worst relationship in the experiment. She retaliates by calling him a giant red flag.
Happy International Women’s Day #mafs #mafsau pic.twitter.com/gGWtlCsROU

Claire calling Harrison a red flag on international woman’s day is sooooo iconic #MAFS #MAFSAU pic.twitter.com/DOYPZVhznX

Harrison then tells the group that Bronte told him that Claire’s only in the experiment to repair her image after what happened with Adam and Jesse.
HARRISON IS TRYING TO TAKE JESSIE AND CLAIRE DOWN WITH HIM NO LEAVE THEM ALONE #MAFS #MAFSAU pic.twitter.com/gL5M4zAYsY

Fact: One of a narcissist's favourite games is to cause chaos, to revel in the destruction of seeing people struggle. A control tactic, it enables them to feel superior. This is Harrison. Compensating for his insecurities by orchestrating Bronte & now Claire + Jesse #MAFS #MAFSAU
— Sahar Adatia (@sahar_adatia) March 8, 2023
With Harrison’s words clearly getting in Jesse’s head, Harrison then tells Jesse he’s a great guy and deserves better. Jesse expresses his concerns that Claire is sticking around to fix her image because he doesn’t feel like she is into him romantically.
Ah Jesse, you dumbass. You don't have this conversation in front of the group and you *especially* don't let Harrison know he has hit the mark. He will use that again now#MAFSAU #MAFS
— Rohan I (@the_impey) March 8, 2023
Jesse, sir, you were quite the c%nt at the start, let’s be real. You’ve seemed to have made a lot of progress, and I know your wife hurt you, but please don’t let this fucking clown get in your head. #MAFS #MAFSAU
— Pete Ato-bake (@PeterDenning) March 8, 2023
JESSE YOU LITERALLY HATED HER FOR THE FIRST 2 WEEKS STOP PRETENDING MAN #MAFSAU

All of a sudden, Tayla swans in to break up the tension and pulls Hugo aside and gets mad at him for getting everyone get offside with her during the retreat. Tayla says she’s willing to give things a go, but Hugo puts her in her place and they finally call it quits.
I adore that Hugo is dumping her at the dinner party that she just rocked up too uninvited. Go off king #MAFSAU
— Steph the sarcastic sequin (@Steph_Simmons89) March 8, 2023
Tayla and Harrison would've been a perfect couple, manipulating and gaslighting the absolute shit out of each other ❤️ #MAFS #MAFSAU pic.twitter.com/ML2OvIH2yC
— MAHONEY (@cdtmahoney) March 8, 2023
Tayla then confesses she’s responsible for Hugo’s lost wedding ring and he didn’t actually lose it. Classic gag!
tayla thinking she cute or whatever for stealing hugo’s ring, like respectfully please leave #MAFS #MAFSAU

When Tayla confessed about taking Hugo's wedding ring, I actually thought she was going to admit to hooking up with Cam #MAFSAU #MAFSAustralia

And to wrap things up, Melinda asks Harrison what’s next for him and Bronte. He says he doesn’t see a future with Bronte, and then tells Melinda she seems like a living nightmare. Cute deflection! Layton and Rupert both call Harrison out on his bullshit. FINALLY! Some men speaking UP!
Watching Harrison fail in his mission to ruin Melinda and Layton's relationship is absolute art.#MAFS #MAFSAU pic.twitter.com/hK6DB7h48T
— Married At First Sight Experts (@mafsexperts) March 8, 2023
Even shy Rupert spoke up. Good!! Harrison is an absolute Fuckwit!!! #MAFS #MAFSAU

#MAFSAU Ok I hate his trash bin show but I gotta say, why is it women are the only ones with the courage to stand up to bullshit behaviour, and the men, well they just sit in cowardly silence observing their bro code
— Ms Amanda ? (@MsAltm69) March 8, 2023
Where the f**k are the men in this experiment. Why are they just sitting the letting this C U Next Tuesday sprout his BS. The women are doing all the work. About time some of you guys called him out. #MAFSAU #MAFS #MAFSAustralia pic.twitter.com/EY10TCOSsJ

Honestly, these two women need to do public speaking tours on how to take down any mediocre trash person that you ever come across. I’ll go to every single one. ?? #MAFSAU pic.twitter.com/BDwiAhSqMx

We deserve better than Harrison on International Women’s Day #MAFSAU
