Tonight’s episode of Married at First Sight might have just been the most ~scandalous~ episode in the show’s history.
All because of one very bad word.
The drama of Bronson and Ines’ toxic pairing came to an extraordinary peak during the group couple’s therapy when Bronson – the man who has been hurled abuse at by Ines from day one – called his wife a word…
A word that would have certainly had our mouths washed out with soap in our youth.
A word that rhymes with “hunt”.
Yikes.
But while we can all agree that’s definitely not how newlyweds, or really anyone, should speak to each other, Twitter had a different opinion to the experts, particularly Mel Schilling, who was largely critical of Bronson’s potty mouth.

Ines is absolutely awful, she truly is.
But I think when a man uses that word towards a woman it betrays a certain view of women that is a little unwholesome.
I wish we could completely eliminate the c-word. I hate hearing it used as an insult and I hate how so many people in Australia use it so casually and frequently. I cringe every time I hear it, no matter the context.
That said, it bothered me that Bronson was chastised so harshly for using an offensive word to describe Ines, who has treated him so horribly (and was NOT chastised in the slightest for it), while Sam's gaslighting of Elizabeth wasn't called out for what it was and no one bothered pulling Mike up on his misogynist I-really-prefer-my-women-silent attitude. And right after John Aiken was banging on in the press over the weekend about how "tough" the experts are going to be on the couples this year. When's that starting, John?
