We have one more wedding left of MAFS<\/a> 2026 and can we get through this one without a Borat impression?<\/p>\n

\ufeffBefore we can find out, we catch up with Juliette and Joel<\/a>.\ufeff<\/p>\n

You’ll recall she fled her own wedding table after Joel<\/a> and his mother’s, uh, unique speeches<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He’s hoping to make things right by introducing her to his teddy.<\/p>\n

\"EMBARGOIt’s not working. (Nine)<\/p>\n

They debrief on how uncomfortable the speeches made Juliette \u2013 which shocks Joel! \u2013 and move forward by making a pact to give this a shot.<\/p>\n

EXCLUSIVE: Joel unpacks mum’s ‘horrifying’ wedding speech \u2013 plus the confrontation you didn’t see on TV<\/a><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, our other recent groom, Tyson<\/a>,\ufeff is feeling less and less like he wants to continue with new wife Stephanie<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“I thought you guys would match me up with someone a little more feminine,” he says.<\/p>\n

Maybe the honeymoons will \ufeffhelp ignite these sparks, but first \u2013 we have a wedding to attend!<\/p>\n

Chris and Sam’s wedding<\/p>\n

One of the last grooms to join the experiment is Sam<\/a>, a 34-year-old fitness studio owner who is happiest outside.<\/p>\n

He’s “a little bit picky\ufeff” but ready to find his person, hoping to be one of the experiment’s first successful gay couples.<\/p>\n

Joining him in that noble pursuit, and hopefully also in love, is Chris<\/a>, a 38-year-old gym owner and farmer who is also happiest outside.<\/p>\n

I’m starting to see why they were matched!<\/p>\n

\ufeffChris arrives at the experiment with big news \u2013 he’s about to become a father, twice!<\/p>\n

He is expecting one child via a surrogate and another as \ufeffa donor father to his lesbian friend.<\/p>\n

Sparks fly immediately, especially as they read their vows and realise they’re practically the same person.<\/p>\n

The good times keep rolling into the reception\ufeff, as Sam says Chris’ life of owning his gym and a farm sounds just like his dream life a few years in the future.<\/p>\n

They end the night with a private chat under the moonlight\ufeff and Chris is all ready to share his exciting fatherhood news.<\/p>\n

Until Sam says: “\ufeffIf you wanted kids next year I don’t think that would be something I’m ready for just yet.”<\/p>\n

\"MAFSOh- (Nine)<\/p>\n

Awkward.\ufeff<\/p>\n

Chris hits pause on his plan, wanting them to get to know one other better before he fully opens up.<\/p>\n

The original couples’ one-month anniversaries<\/p>\n

There are big milestones to celebrate this week!<\/p>\n

OK, I suppose it’s almost as small a milestone as you can get in a relationship, but something has to keep the original couples busy while there’s a secret wedding taking place.<\/p>\n

\ufeffThey’re tasked with celebrating one month together with something special, like a date night, gifts or … matching tattoos?<\/p>\n

Not sure John Aiken<\/a> would advise that, but Gia and Scott<\/a> don’t seem to care.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Danny’s made Bec<\/a> a platter on a freakishly large, freakishly textured gold blanket.<\/p>\n

She’s thrilled.\ufeff<\/p>\n

“I’m falling in love with him and it’s great,\ufeff it’s the best feeling in the world,” she reacts.<\/p>\n

\"EMBARGOIt’s just SO … gold. (Nine)<\/p>\n

In Julia and Grayson<\/a>‘s apartment, he and his extremely cosy-looking jumper are all smiles as Jules arrives with a surprise.<\/p>\n

She’s written him a letter!<\/p>\n

“\ufeffWe have grown so much separately and together,” she reads. “However,”<\/p>\n

Oh no.<\/p>\n

“\ufeffThat burning desire we have both spoken about doesn’t seem to be growing.”<\/p>\n

This is not a sweet anniversary letter. This is a break-\ufeffup.<\/p>\n

Julia says she’s listening to her intuition and “choosing herself”, while Grayson floats above his body watching this play out in front of him.<\/p>\n

\"MAFSHuh? (Nine)<\/p>\n

He’s really sad and \ufeffmaintains he’s the one who has been putting in all the effort.<\/p>\n

“It hasn’t progressed and I don’t want to waste your time,” she says.<\/p>\n

“I reckon you’ve probably wasted my time since\ufeff the honeymoon,” he retorts.<\/p>\n

That’s a crazy thing to say. Does he not remember their extremely unsexy Intimacy Week fantasy night?\ufeff<\/p>\n

The honeymoons<\/p>\n

Over a romantic lunch, Stephanie and Tyson align on a lot of things and it seems like they’re getting along.<\/p>\n

But then Tyson keeps talking … and talking … and talking …\ufeff<\/p>\n

He admits he’s very fussy with dating, digging himself a very deep, very dark hole as he admits he sees people “you wouldn’t think might get a girlfriend, with a girlfriend”.<\/p>\n

He won’t elaborate but somehow, I don’t think his reasoning is free of judgement.<\/p>\n

Right as he makes a comment about how much Steph can eat, the Honeymoon Box appears like the messy little box it is.<\/p>\n

From discussions of exes to “body count”, you’ll be shocked to learn\ufeff things go from worse to really, really bloody terrible.<\/p>\n

\"MAFSThe chemistry is just leaping off the screen at you, isn’t it? (Nine)<\/p>\n

Tyson decides to go to the gym to get some space. And because his rig is a Mazda 3, or whatever it was he said.\ufeff<\/p>\n

Before he goes though, he calls out Steph’s “masculine energy” for the 4659th time.\ufeff<\/p>\n

“It’s a you problem because\ufeff it won’t work out and you’re missing out on all this,” he says.<\/p>\n

\"MAFSDoesn’t look like Steph’s too worried about that. (Nine)<\/p>\n

Things are going better for Chris and Sam\ufeff, who survive the honeymoon box while Chris once again avoids revealing his fast-approaching fatherhood news.<\/p>\n

Instead, he just tells Sam there is something he would like to tell him at another random time in the future.<\/p>\n

It makes it sound far more ominous that it is.\ufeff<\/p>\n

\ufeffOn the Gold Coast, Juliette and Joel have put their disaster wedding day behind them.<\/p>\n

Except for one \ufeffpart: the Borat impressions.<\/p>\n

I don’t know about you, but I like!<\/p>\n

\"MAFSVERY NICE. (Nine)<\/p>\n

Back in the Shoalhaven, Tyson returns from the gym and the endorphins have worked wonders as he apologises for calling her masculine every two seconds\ufeff.<\/p>\n

He suggests separate rooms, and Steph couldn’t agree more \u2013 otherwise he’ll be banished to sleeping on the couch.<\/p>\n

“Well, you could also sleep on the couch too,” he says.<\/p>\n

Now, now, that’s not very traditional!<\/p>\n

\"MAFSHow many side-by-sides of these two staring at each other with disdain is too many? (Nine)<\/p>\n

Steph points that out and oh, what do you know? He mentions, let’s all say it together now, “masculine energy”!<\/p>\n

\ufeffShe tries to explain that calling him out isn’t masculine at all, but it doesn’t seem to get through.<\/p>\n

“I’m not looking for a challenge, I’m looking for a submissive woman,” he says.<\/p>\n

He is really looking forward to Steph getting some constructive criticism from the experts,\ufeff and bless. I just don’t think the next Commitment Ceremony is going to go how he thinks it’s going to go.<\/p>\n

Before then though, the new couples will have to mix and mingle with the rest of the couple at the Dinner Party\ufeff \u2013 and Tyson may be on the menu.<\/p>\n

Buuuut dinner may be interrupted, because Hurricane Bec is on the horizon. Take shelter (on the couch, duh) because things are about to get bumpy!<\/p>\n
