The First Dramatic ‘MAFS’ Dinner Party Recapped In Tweets
Plant yourself on the couch, arrange an elegant cheeseboard for one, and turn your notifications off — it’s Married at First Sight dinner party time, baby!
Like all good dinner parties, there was some highs (well, Cameron and Lyndall simply existing) and some lows (practically everything else). Jesse and Harrison were at their best (read: worst) with one refusing to speak to his wife for most of the evening, while the other spoke too much, attempting to gaslight the entire group into thinking he’s a Nice Guy™.
But Melinda wasn’t convinced, yes this the same Melinda who proved to be extremely judgemental at her own wedding. But this show is all about swings and roundabouts because Melinda truly came for Harrison on Monday’s episode — and we lived for it!
Oh boy, A LOT HAPPENED. Let’s jump straight into recapping the entire shitshow!
The first Married at First Sight dinner party recapped in funny tweets:
The mood between Melissa and Josh is still tense after they butted heads over how transparent they should be about their sex lives. The couple agrees to respect each other’s differing views.

Melinda is warming to Layton, whereas Bronte and Harrison are no longer speaking. They attempt to sort out their beef — no one is believing it.

After their blow-up, Claire visits Jesse where he apologises. But then he ruins everything by justifying not trying to make amends sooner by saying “I don’t chase girls”. Umm, yikes. Claire storms off… again. But who cares because the dinner party is upon us! Yahoo, let’s go!
Ahhh the MAFS' dinner parties, where Australians tune in to make our own unhinged behaviour look relatively sane by comparison.#MAFS #MAFSAU

If this was Jesse’s strategy to try and book more celebrant gigs, he’s truly fucked it #mafs #mafsau

"i don't chase girls" you're chasing girls by going on a reality tv show to get married to a random you absolute shitbag #MAFSAU

"Claire storming off" or … "Claire knowing her self worth and leaving a toxic situation" #MAFSAU

The couples file into the cocktail party. Bronte fills Lyndall in on what Jess told her about having a secret girlfriend at her wedding.

Claire arrives alone and confides in the other women about what has gone down with Jesse. Jesse arrives dressed like Jack Sparrow and Claire hands him a beer. This angel! But it is so awkward as Jesse doesn’t want a bar of her. The nerve of this man!
It baffles me because Jesse looks exactly like the type of guy who’d be into star sign and crystal chicks #mafs #mafsau

Can we have 2 emergency husbands brought in for Claire and Bronte please? #MAFSAU

Dinner begins and Bronte interrogates Jesse. Claire relays to the table some of the insults Jesse has thrown her way, Jesse freezes, saying nothing, before eventually admitting he shushed Claire. Bronte is Team Claire so Jesse decides she is his enemy. Jesse claims that due to Claire’s loud personality, he’s started feeling withdrawn.
“I’m not drawn to ostentatious, loud people”

Melissa tells Melinda she doesn’t understand what she’s not seeing in Layton — they actually have a nice enough convo. Boring! Harrison tells the table about Jessica’s claims he was dating someone else. Alyssa randomly toasts to ask Bronte to share her side of the story, and umm… Harrison responds.

Melinda ain’t buying what Harrison is selling. The group do a cheers to “trust”, but Melinda refuses. Okay, queen shit. Melinda quizzes Harrison about why he didn’t break-up with the girl before his wedding. She tells him he should have been single when he applied from the show, and ooft, amen.

Melinda being the hero of this episode is the plot twist I didn't see coming#MAFS #MAFSAU

Melinda should be an expert next year because she's making the most sense ever on this show.#MAFS #MAFSAU

Harrison attempts to turn the tables on Bronte, telling her she has to prove herself to him. What’s that? That’s a gaslighter! Bronte is devastated and the girls console her privately, they rightly identify Harrison’s behaviour as gaslighting and manipulative.
Harrison: "theres no communication"
Also Harrison every time Bronte talks: "I don't want to have this conversation" #MAFSAU— Nicole (@NicolePadillaYT) February 6, 2023
“I’m the only one putting in effort in the relationship.” Mate one night ago you told her you weren’t into her anymore cos you were embarrassed that you’re a dud root. #MAFSAU

"Gaslighting" gets thrown around a lot now but fuck me dead didn't Harrison just give us a front row seat to it in action#MAFS #MAFSAU

How can Harrison afford this much gaslighting with the way energy prices are right now? #mafs #mafsau
