A Married At First Sight wife who publicly shamed her husband and called him the C-word gets absolutely roasted on Sunday night by the show\u2019s experts, who hurl insults like \u201cugly\u201d, \u201ccruel\u201d and \u201cvile\u201d at her in a real-time Gogglebox scenario where she can\u2019t change the channel.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s cut to the chase: tonight is all about the fallout from Juliette\u2019s bad behaviour<\/a> at the drunken dinner party. <\/p>\n We don\u2019t even care about misogynistic Tyson throwing a very unmanly hissy fit and quitting the show to prance back to whatever underground bunker he lives in.<\/p>\n JAMES WEIR: Read all the recaps<\/a><\/p>\n Juliette arrives at the commitment ceremony with zero remorse and a bizarre American accent she has been using on-and-off to deliver insults. <\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m not apologising for last night. No way! What I saw of Joel at the dinner party \u2026 I was completely disgusted by. Ew,\u201d she trash talks her husband to us, thinking we\u2019re going to cheer and hoist her up on our shoulders to celebrate.<\/p>\n \u201cHe just completely gaslit me in front of the entire group. And then created a smear campaign to paint me out to be some crazy b**ch. And, by the way, you\u2019re gonna get crazy b**ch when you\u2019re giving me crazy b**ch. Idiot!\u201d<\/p>\n For context: Joel didn\u2019t gaslight her. He simply disagreed with her claim that he called himself \u201cthe star of the show<\/a>\u201d. What he actually said<\/a> was \u201cyou don\u2019t see the star in me\u201d \u2014 which is different, though admittedly still tragic. But Juliette\u2019s convinced she\u2019s the victim of a smear campaign, despite being the one who spent an hour publicly humiliating Joel before dropping the C-bomb.<\/p>\n The truth of the matter? Both of these people are annoying \u2014 just in very different ways. Yes, Joel has the personality of that guy from the Shamwow infomercials. Still, at least he\u2019s not a big meanie. <\/p>\n \u201cTonight, I\u2019m hoping the experts see Joel for what he truly is. He wants to be perceived as the star of the damn show!\u201d Juliette spits. \u201cAnd he was not giving \u2018stardom\u2019. He was giving \u2018loser\u2019. He was giving \u2018meanie poop\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n And you, my love, are giving \u2018insufferable\u2019. <\/p>\n Anyway, the experts are less concerned with semantics and more concerned with the fact that Juliette called Joel a C-word on national television \u2014 and how she is now bizarrely demanding an apology. (This is one of two absurd twists tonight. Hang in there \u2026)<\/p>\n \u201cYOU should apologise to ME,\u201d she declares. <\/p>\n Juliette doubles down on her allegations and tells the experts that Joel launched a \u201csmear campaign\u201d against her at the dinner party.<\/p>\n Huh. That\u2019s \u2026 interesting. Do you happen to have any specific examples of Joel\u2019s so-called smear campaign? <\/p>\n Juliette takes a minute to think. <\/p>\n \u201cUmm \u2026\u201d she looks up at the ceiling, trying to think of a single insult Joel flung her way.<\/p>\n She can\u2019t remember any. Mainly because none exist. <\/p>\n \u201cYou\u2019ve been putting me down, you\u2019ve been rejecting me \u2014 and you\u2019ve been very nasty,\u201d Joel tells her, staying calm and rational despite the weeks of ridicule. <\/p>\n \u201cAre you actually listening to yourself?\u201d she shoots back, trying to mock him into silence. <\/p>\n Joel looks at the floor. \u201cThe way you speak is vicious and with venom.\u201d<\/p>\n What Juliette seems to be forgetting? Her every move is documented by a crew of at least five TV cameras. When she cut sick and went feral at the dinner party, the show\u2019s experts were watching it all unfold on the CCTV monitors in the basement. <\/p>\n And now is the time for these experts to finally step in and deliver their Gogglebox reviews. <\/p>\n \u201cI find it breathtaking, Juliette, that you want an apology from Joel for last night,\u201d John Aiken begins. \u201cYour behaviour last night towards Joel was ugly. And it was mean. And cruel. We\u2019re not sure we\u2019ve ever seen someone on the attack in such a way as you did to Joel last night.\u201d<\/p>\n Yeah! Not since \u2026 well, not since two weeks ago when Gia and Brooke attacked Alissa<\/a> until she cried. Or last week, when Bec attacked \u2026 well, everybody<\/a>. <\/p>\n Come to think of it, this level of attack happens pretty regularly. <\/p>\n But we\u2019re not going to let facts get in the way of a thunderous monologue. <\/p>\n MORE: Gross reality of MAFS revealed<\/a><\/p>\n Sexpert Alessandra piles on.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat we witnessed last night was so incredibly vile. If that\u2019s the way you speak to Joel in public, I shudder to think how you speak to him behind closed doors,\u201d she winces. <\/p>\n The experts back Juliette into a corner until she\u2019s forced to apologise. But first, she tries to justify her behaviour with a laughable excuse.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen we\u2019re fighting, I do say mean things in the heat of the moment. But, like, that\u2019s normal \u2014 everyone does that,\u201d she shrugs.<\/p>\n No, Juliette. Everyone does not call their husband a C-word on national television. That\u2019s \u2026 that\u2019s not a universal experience.<\/p>\n Eventually, under extreme duress, she caves. <\/p>\n \u201cUgh. Um. Look, last night \u2026 I obviously involved all of you guys,\u201d she turns to face the other MAFS freaks, seemingly apologising to them instead of her husband. \u201cI\u2019m very sorry.\u201d<\/p>\n The experts demand she redirect the apology to Joel. She pivots begrudgingly.<\/p>\n \u201cJoel \u2026 I don\u2019t feel \u2026 THAT much hatred towards you,\u201d she snips.<\/p>\n Wow. Truly from the heart.<\/p>\n I\u2019m going to buy some calligraphy pens and start selling a line of handmade anniversary cards on Etsy featuring the line: I don\u2019t feel THAT much hatred towards you.<\/p>\n Joel\u2019s unmoved: \u201cI don\u2019t accept your apology. I think it\u2019s insincere.\u201d<\/p>\n All this is building up to decision time. Clearly Joel will not be staying to cop any more cruelty. <\/p>\n \u201cI have too much respect for myself,\u201d he announces, choosing to leave.<\/p>\n Juliette should be thankful. After weeks of huffing and puffing about being stuck with Joel, he has set her free from what she claims is her own personal hell. <\/p>\n Now comes the second twist of the evening. <\/p>\n \u201cI DECIDED TO STAY!\u201d she beams, flashing her decision card. <\/p>\n Girl, what? <\/p>\n As veteran MAFS viewers know, when one of the freaks decides to leave but another chooses to stay, the couple is automatically trapped in the experiment for another week. <\/p>\n Joel lays down the law \u2014 or attempts to. He tells Juliette she must show him basic kindness and respect. Oh and, like, don\u2019t call him a c**t on TV. <\/p>\n She tunes out. Then admits she wasn\u2019t listening to anything he just said. <\/p>\n For the next week, it only seems fair that Juliette is punished with daily performances of Joel playing the drums with dildos<\/a>. <\/p>\n Facebook: @hellojamesweir<\/a><\/p>\n
