One Married At First Sight wife gets busted scheming in a toilet stall at Monday night\u2019s final dinner party where she plots with an accomplice to \u201cout-victim\u201d her husband and trick Australia into sympathising with her but, as soon as she emerges from the bathroom, she\u2019s promptly marched back in to watch her marriage get flushed down the pipes. <\/p>\n
The last dinner party has arrived \u2014 one last opportunity for public humiliation before final vows. The guest list is thin. <\/p>\n
But thank goodness Gia\u2019s fake Jetstar flight lands just in time for her to make an appearance as the guest of honour. <\/p>\n
JAMES WEIR: Read all the recaps here<\/a><\/p>\n We find Scott at midnight, after watching yesterday\u2019s iPad footage<\/a> of Gia flirting with her alternative match<\/a>. By this point, Gia has already fled to the airport<\/a> \u2014 or so she claims.<\/p>\n She texts him: \u201cI\u2019d appreciate some closure as I\u2019m absolutely beside myself.\u201d<\/p>\n She follows up with another message explaining she has flown to Melbourne and is currently cuddling with her daughter, who\u2019s devastated at the thought of losing her new dad. Heartbreaking! Real tear-jerker kinda stuff.<\/p>\n The twist? It\u2019s all a lie. Gia is not in Melbourne. She faked a Jetstar flight. And she has been hiding out in a dark, dank suite at Trash Tower.<\/p>\n Whispers start to spread around the building. Eventually, they reach Scott. <\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve been lied to,\u201d he gasps. \u201cAnd using her daughter as emotional manipulation? You don\u2019t do that. It\u2019s inexcusable behaviour.\u201d<\/p>\n Speaking of inexcusable behaviour, Bec is torturing us with outlandish and probably fictional claims regarding her sex life with Danny. <\/p>\n \u201cWe made up and we had really, really good sex about four times,\u201d she brags. \u201cAnd then he said, \u2018I\u2019m falling in love with you\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n Huh. Interesting. Shall we check in with Danny?<\/p>\n \u201cPretty averagely good, I\u2019d say,\u201d he grunts about the state of their relationship. \u201cIt has put doubts in my mind.\u201d<\/p>\n That sounds more accurate. <\/p>\n MORE: \u2018Cold, sterile\u2019: Secret MAFS location exposed<\/a><\/p>\n Meanwhile, even though David and Alissa broke up and threw their rings at each other, producers are forcing them to attend tonight\u2019s dinner because literally no one else is left. It allows us to witness the full transformation of Alissa from underdog to villain. We don\u2019t have the energy to document it tonight, because it\u2019s basically just David repeatedly proclaiming his love while Alissa responds with the whiny refrain: \u201cBaaaaabe! Nauuuuur!\u201d<\/p>\n At the dinner party, Scott arrives alone and immediately tells the group about Gia\u2019s elaborate lies.<\/p>\n \u201cShe told me she flew to Melbourne. It made me so upset and disgusted,\u201d he says. \u201cI found out she\u2019s drinking at a bar in Sydney!\u201d<\/p>\n Suddenly, the door swings open. Gia glides in.<\/p>\n MORE: Ch9\u2019s $4k\/day for explosive MAFS blow up<\/a><\/p>\n She knows Scott has had a head start turning the group against her. She needs backup. Her former enemy turned frenemy Bec pulls her aside and they scuttle into a backstage bathroom stall.<\/p>\n The camera crew follows them to the toilet block and lurks outside as the two wives huddle inside to strategise.<\/p>\n Together they concoct a scheme.<\/p>\n \u201cOut-victim him,\u201d Gia says. <\/p>\n The mission is simple: She\u2019ll destroy Scott\u2019s reputation and play up her own hurt.<\/p>\n Bec starts writing a script of key talking points.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m looking at this strategically,\u201d she whispers. \u201cIt\u2019s not just about your relationship, it\u2019s about all of Australia.\u201d<\/p>\n Um, how rude! We have no problem with you freaks tricking each other. But conspiring to trick us \u2013 the loyal viewers who suffer through your antics night after night? How dare you. Show some respect. <\/p>\n \u201cAnd, if you can cry, that would be great,\u201d Bec instructs. <\/p>\n \u201cOh, of course I will,\u201d Gia confirms.<\/p>\n After 36 episodes of this season, the MAFS freaks still don\u2019t realise their microphones are recording even when the doors are closed. <\/p>\n Gia and Bec return to the dinner table. Bec shoves her frenemy into the spotlight like a stage mum at an eisteddfod, forcing Gia to read a handwritten letter. She probably wrote it in the departure lounge while waiting to board her fake flight. <\/p>\n The letter is full of clich\u00e9s and nothingness.<\/p>\n \u201cI came here to bare my soul, not for the cameras but for you,\u201d Gia concludes.<\/p>\n Silence. No reaction from Scott or the other freaks.<\/p>\n Gia stares at Bec, panicking. The scheme\u2019s falling apart already.<\/p>\n Scott clears his throat. \u201cGia, I know more than you think. I\u2019ve caught you out lying to me a lot. And I\u2019m just gonna smack this out now \u2013 because I\u2019ve planned something I didn\u2019t tell anyone. I wrote something, too.\u201d<\/p>\n He yanks a piece of paper from his pocket. Well, not just a piece of paper. Four pages.<\/p>\n Scott\u2019s voice shakes. His hands tremble. He\u2019s holding back tears as he reads.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve met daily criticisms, belittling comments and threats of being left single,\u201d he says. \u201cI can\u2019t be with a woman who, behind my back, proclaims to the first guy who looks her way, \u2018I only date men with money and who\u2019ll pay for everything\u2019. You told me you\u2019d flown home to Melbourne in tears and inconsolable but I came to find you\u2019re still in Sydney drinking at a bar. I\u2019m not sure what you\u2019re looking for, Gia. But I can tell you\u2019re not the one for me. We are a different calibre of people.\u201d<\/p>\n He shoots up from his chair, throws his wedding ring on the table and, in his haste to storm off, knocks over a chair.<\/p>\n Gia knows she needs to win the crowd back over. Time to bend the truth and cry on cue. <\/p>\n \u201cSo, now let me say a few things here, shall I?\u201d she addresses the group. \u201cAt the end of the day, it was a show-mance. He played me. The last two weeks he has been playing me.\u201d<\/p>\n She alleges there\u2019s some dark behaviour she hasn\u2019t been brave enough to share. Such as?<\/p>\n \u201cHe never reassures me. He never tells me I look beautiful before a dinner party. He never tells me I\u2019m sexy,\u201d she spits. \u201cAll he does is use me for my body. He has sex with me but he\u2019ll never fall in love with me.\u201d<\/p>\n Everyone rolls their eyes as we collectively turn down the volume on Gia\u2019s attempt to \u201cout-victim\u201d her husband.<\/p>\n She can feel the crowd turning on her. So, she pivots the plan and decides she now wants to get back with Scott. She chases after him. <\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m sorry,\u201d she whispers, after catching up to him in the hallway. \u201cScott, I\u2019ve never in my life chased a man. EVER! I don\u2019t care about the cameras, I came here for you. I don\u2019t give a f**k who\u2019s listening. I literally came back to this dinner party for you. You\u2019re worth it to me. I\u2019m so in love with you. I\u2019m sorry.\u201d<\/p>\n But it\u2019s not enough. Scott will be returning to his canal-front semi-detached Gold Coast villa alone. <\/p>\n Gia stomps off and throws a diva tantrum \u2014 demanding producers take the mic off her and hand over her phone.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m gonna leave and go on a flight to Melbourne,\u201d she announces.<\/p>\n Hmmm. Show us your boarding pass, then we\u2019ll believe it.<\/p>\n Facebook: @hellojamesweir<\/a><\/p>\n
