We\u2019ve all still got whiplash from Brook\u2019s sudden villain arc. Just hours after scolding her fatphobic husband for his misogynist views and dubbing herself a \u201cgirl\u2019s girl\u201d while standing up for fellow bride Mel following a bout of social media trolling, Brook\u2019s hero\u2019s journey suddenly careered off the rails at the pub when she mocked and trash-talked other wives for being too happy with their husbands.<\/p>\n
The targets in Brook\u2019s crosshairs? Alissa and Stella.<\/p>\n
On one hand, we totally get it \u2013 people in happy and healthy relationships are the worst. Whaddaya mean he doesn\u2019t leave every cabinet door open for no damn reason?!<\/p>\n
On the other hand, grow up and show a bit of maturity by simply b****ing about people behind their backs to your Uber driver on the way home instead of picking a fight with them in a pub. It\u2019s called being an adult.<\/p>\n
Anyway, things explode again at the commitment ceremony when Alissa jumps on the couch with her husband, David, and they gush to the experts about how perfect they are for each other.<\/p>\n
Brook and her fellow mean girl Gia start taunting from the sidelines \u2013 eye rolling and muttering snide comments to each other.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe sounds like an infomercial. Selling hair products desperately at 3am on your TV,\u201d Gia spits, mocking Alissa\u2019s tendency to talk with the chipper enthusiasm of every Reese Witherspoon character.<\/p>\n
By the time Stella and her husband, Filip, get on the couch to broadcast the joys of their perfect marriage, Brook and Gia are fed up.<\/p>\n
Stella can hear the murmuring from the ladies. And there\u2019s only one thing for her to do: dob.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel like not everyone likes your happiness,\u201d she cryptically tells the experts before detailing the jealousy that\u2019s simmering in the group and the bad behaviour from Brook and Gia at the pub.<\/p>\n
While some people might see this as a cue to stop trash-talking, Gia and Brook only go harder.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo one cares, and we\u2019re not jealous!\u201d Gia grumbles, within earshot of the experts.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m friggin\u2019 fuming. She\u2019s playing the victim,\u201d Brook seethes.<\/p>\n
Oh, Brook. She\u2019s missing a vowel and even more sense.<\/p>\n
Alissa joins in the snitching.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey called me fake yesterday!\u201d she informs the experts.<\/p>\n
Gia snaps \u2013 yelling more insults across the room, which only strengthens the prosecution\u2019s argument.<\/p>\n
Gia and Brook taunt Alissa and Stella, leading to tensions and insults during the ceremony.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlissa, shut up! All you do is speak with infomercial voice! Pipe down!\u201d Gia yells.<\/p>\n
As punishment for this immature behaviour, Gia will now have a set of Bose headphones strapped to her ears as non-stop audio plays of Alissa reading the back labels of various shampoo bottles.<\/p>\n
Now seems like the perfect time for the three experts to step in and call out the behaviour. Instead, they ignore it and say they\u2019ll address it at a later date. Translation: they\u2019ll let it fester over the coming week to ensure an almighty fight explodes at the next drunken dinner party, so producers have content to work with.<\/p>\n
Experts choose not to intervene immediately, allowing tensions to build for future episodes.<\/p>\n
Immediately after the ceremony, Stella tries quietly approaching Brook to clear the air, but the model bats her away \u2013 almost knocking over the token elderly contestant and sending her back to the nursing home.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m f*****\u2019 fuming, b****. Fool! She\u2019s a fool! She\u2019s just making s*** outta her ass,\u201d Brook insults Stella again in front of the experts, who pretend not to hear.<\/p>\n
These are the words of a true \u201cgirl\u2019s girl\u201d. She should give motivational speeches at corporate brunches for International Women\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n
