Okay we need to begin with an aside.
This show… it’s…
It’s given Jessie glandular fever.
This is what happens when a program never ends. It’s episode twenty f*cking six and it’s all too much.
Tonight, the experiment is over, but um, evidently, the show is still going. The voice over explains that this is the first time the couples have experienced life without help from the experts.
Clare Stephens and Kelly Glover discuss tonight’s episode of Married at First Sight on The Recap. Post continues below.
OH GOODNESS NOT WITHOUT THE EXPERTS.
Real talk: All John Aiken did was tap on his psychology degree intermittently and issue them ‘question boxes’ that just ultimately started shit. And that one time he tried to give Cheryl and Andrew a “relationship bootcamp” HE JUST GAVE THEM THE SAME QUESTION BOX.
Most of the couples are trying long distance for the first time, except Alene and Simon who have decided to take a quick holiday to the Gold Coast.
Pause.
A holiday from what?
Do these people not have jobs? Don't they have somewhere to... be? They've literally just spent eight (?) weeks as part of a reality television show experiment and now they're having a break? We are bamboozled.

"... so she does what any sensible woman would do in this situation: she flies to Sydney." - LOL, well done, girls! :))
I love your recaps, you always make me laugh, eventhough I've always been hesitant to agree with your views of Nadia's motives to stick around.
My take on it was that Nadia was trying to outplay Anthony in this 'competition'. I agree that she didn't like him much in the beginning, but she liked the idea of the lifestyle he offered and a sense of glamour that comes with it.
I believe Nadia went into this with her head (remember her words - "I'd like to think at this point in my life I'm street smart enough to pick a good man"). She played the game well for the majority of time, but at the very end she became overconfident and forgot how inflated Anthony's ego was. He would've never forgotten and forgiven 'the humiliation' of her making him look like he was the inferior one heading to the renewal of their vows.
To cement it all, she completely lost patience (and therefore the control) and come up with the lease story... and then done "what any sensible woman would do in this situation"...
The rest is (will be) history.
Anthony has been calling this a competition all along. He "won" the competition and now he has lost interest.
