‘MAFS’ Viewers Just Got Majorly Played By Ivan & They’re Bloody Furious
Well, that was one hell of a twist Married at First Sight just delivered.
On tonight’s dinner party episode, all was not what it seemed. At first, the episode appeared to show Michael and Josh constantly interrogating Aleks about her and Ivan’s relationship and their history of intimacy. But in the final few minutes, it all came undone as it was revealed by Michael and Josh that they were under instruction by Ivan himself to confront Aleks.
After practically attacking Aleks the entire night, later on in a private convo a fed up Josh said to Ivan, “You told us to bring it up,” before Michael told Jonethen,”we were asked to stick up for him…by Ivan.”
At this point, the puzzle pieces started to fall into place.
Ivan! What treachery. I am shook! I am dying! I am dead. #mafs

The jig was up. Josh admitted in an interview, “Ivan rang us stressed out, going ‘You know, this chick has done a 180° on me, she’s friendzoned me, this is bullshit. She’s saying there’s no passion but in reality there has been passion — we’ve been rooting like rabbits for weeks. If I bring it up, will you have my back?’,” Josh relayed.
“It feels like we just got used. You know, we were there to put on the table what he wanted us to bring up and he got away as the nice guy who had nothing to do with it.” Yep, that’s exactly what happened.
YIKESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.
Ivan has been a fan favourite on this season from the very beginning and has rarely put a foot wrong. We all rooted for him and Aleks as two contestants who seemed to have a genuine connection — something the rest of this year’s couples seem to be completely lacking.
For the majority of the episode, Ivan appeared to be acting like an absolute gentleman, not biting when Michael tried to get him to throw his wife under the bus. So it feels extremely icky to think that Ivan got Michael and Josh to do his dirty work — embarrassing Aleks in front of the entire group in the process — rather than confront his wife himself over their issues.
Viewers feel played by Ivan and they’re bloody furious:
Back track, I DON’T FEEL BAD FOR HIM WTF JUST HAPPENED #MAFS

THIS is Ivan, people!
A man who strives to make himself appear as the most manly of men. The cars, calling Aleks “his bitch”, yelling at his parents when they poke fun at him, telling the boys they’ve been going at it for week, etc. Always been an act. Exposed.#MAFSAU #MAFS pic.twitter.com/EThmPZhocn
