Last night, Bec thought she\u2019d just had mind-blowing sex with her new husband. But then he turned around and told her it was pretty average and that he\u2019s not sexually attracted to her.<\/p>\n
Ooft. We feel sorry for her. But Danny\u2019s not a nasty guy. He\u2019s committed to the relationship and he wants to work through it.<\/p>\n
The problem? Well \u2026 Bec.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s a wild theory: perhaps constantly trolling your new husband\u2019s fashion choices and making snide comments disguised as \u201cbanter\u201d isn\u2019t the aphrodisiac you think it is?<\/p>\n
On their wedding day, she spent about 10 minutes mocking the \u201cheinous\u201d crown brooch he gifted her as a memento before pretending to lose it so she wouldn\u2019t have to keep it. And tonight, she relentlessly ridicules a leopard print shirt he brought along to wear at the tropical resort.<\/p>\n
\u201cCan I ask you a question? Have you worn your leopard print shirt out anywhere before,\u201d she asks him, her tone cocky and assured.<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2026 Yeah?\u201d he says, with a furrowed brow, confused as to where the suspicious conversation is heading.<\/p>\n
\u201cRight. And did you have any luck picking up women in your leopard print shirt,\u201d she continues to mock.<\/p>\n
Honestly, a nice guy in a leopard print shirt is far more tolerable than a paranoid meanie who won\u2019t cool it with the obnoxious criticisms. Bec herself has crapped on endlessly about her lifelong body image issues and insecurities and it seems the way she deals with this self-doubt is by getting on the front foot and putting other people down before they can do it to her.<\/p>\n
But Bec will not entertain the idea that perhaps her behaviour is even partially to blame for Danny not feeling an urgent attraction to her. Instead, over a light summery dinner of fresh seafood and cocktails, she decides to accuse her new husband of being a perv and gawking at sexy imaginary pedestrians.<\/p>\n
What are the sexy imaginary pedestrians wearing? Probably nude-coloured scrunch-butt tights. Those pesky sexy imaginary pedestrians are notorious exhibitionists who will stop at nothing in order to steal whatever men they power walk past.<\/p>\n
Bec starts pointing out all the sexy imaginary pedestrians who are shamelessly tempting her husband.<\/p>\n
When Danny gets sick of the trolling and starts glancing around the resort, Bec continues to invent drama.<\/p>\n
\u201cDid you want a triple-take on the girl you\u2019ve been staring at all day again?\u201d she accuses.<\/p>\n
Danny is confused.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve not even seen that girl \u2026 I don\u2019t even know what to say to that,\u201d he stammers.<\/p>\n
Bec rolls her eyes and huffs.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m over it. The girl that just ran past has been in your eye line all day,\u201d she says. \u201cYou watched her run past this morning, you watched her at breakfast. [Do a] Triple-take then.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBec. I\u2019m not looking at other women. It\u2019s as simple as that,\u201d Danny insists. \u201cI don\u2019t even know the girl you\u2019re talking about \u2013 that\u2019s crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Danny! Stop looking at these mirage women!<\/p>\n
Bec scoffs. \u201cOh! Okay, I\u2019M crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, I\u2019m not calling YOU crazy,\u201d Danny tries to hose down the escalating tension. \u201cI\u2019m just saying, you\u2019re making me scared to look anywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bec scrunches her face and convulses.<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, f*** off! F***! Off!\u201d she spits.<\/p>\n
She shoots up from her chair and storms off to the public bathroom. A producer follows her and we linger in the neighbouring stall to eavesdrop. She goes into a manic spiral and starts ranting in an imagined argument with her husband, who\u2019s sitting outside alone in the restaurant, perving on more sexy imaginary pedestrians.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m over it. You\u2019re not into me. I don\u2019t wanna sit here and pretend we\u2019re having a romantic dinner \u2026 every time that f***ing girl walks past \u2026 you\u2019ve been staring at her all day,\u201d she fumes to no one. \u201cYou just took a triple-take in front of me as she ran past. I\u2019m over it. You\u2019re not into me, that\u2019s fine. Let\u2019s walk away.\u201d<\/p>\n
When she eventually returns from her bathroom meltdown, the producers decide to set everything on fire by tossing The Sledge Box on the table.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re new to the MAFS universe, here\u2019s a simple explanation: The Sledge Box is a container filled with inflammatory questions that are written for the sole purpose of causing a fight and provoking each partner to insult the other with their real thoughts.<\/p>\n
First question in The Sledge Box: What\u2019s my most endearing and most annoying trait?<\/p>\n
Bec has her answer already prepared.<\/p>\n
\u201cYour most annoying trait? Probably that you\u2019re staring at another woman all day,\u201d she snips.<\/p>\n
Danny is exhausted.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re most annoying trait is that you make up that I look at imaginary women,\u201d he replies. \u201cIt\u2019s disrespectful. I\u2019m respectful to you. I don\u2019t make up lies about you. Please don\u2019t do it anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n
Maybe the next question in The Sledge Box will invite a more positive topic of conversat-<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you feel any sexual chemistry?\u201d Bec reads the question.<\/p>\n
Danny pauses. \u201cNot too much, to be honest with you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Still, he pledges to stay and work through the marriage. Thinking the argument is now settled, his eyes start glancing around, looking for the dessert menu. Bec instantly accuses him again of perving on sexy imaginary pedestrians walking past the restaurant.<\/p>\n
She storms out, presumably running after the sexy imaginary pedestrians to demand they stop tempting her husband with their raw sensuality.<\/p>\n
\u201cWho do you think you are? David Beckham? Do you think you\u2019re David Beckham?\u201d she begins ranting to no one in particular as she stumbles through a dark Fijian nature reserve, almost tripping over a rack of rental kayaks. \u201cHe obviously thinks I\u2019m absolutely hideous. And then he\u2019s angry at ME for calling him out for looking at another woman all day?!\u201d<\/p>\n
Bec, we have one more question from The Sledge Box: Are the sexy imaginary pedestrians in the room with us right now?<\/p>\n
