Like, so back. And by so back I of course mean half the cast are coming across appalling and some of them are coming across quite nice. And by so back I mean we\u2019ve had ridiculous antics at the altar which seems like the show hoping and praying for a viral moment. By so back, I mean that we\u2019ve got a load of couples who have seemingly been paired up with the exact opposite thing they asked for at the behest of the ever cruel producers. Carnage looms in our future when these weddings and honeymoons will be but a distant hazy memory. The Channel 4 gods have given us five episodes a week this time around \u2013 one day up from all previous years. How are we coping? Barely. Here\u2019s a week one rundown of <a href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/tag\/mafs\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">MAFS<\/a> UK 2025 as well all struggle to process what we\u2019ve just witnessed.<\/p>\n<p>A whistle stop verdict on every couple<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s too early to say what we think, of course. But I will be damned if I don\u2019t try.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah and Dean:\u00a0Sarah asked for something other than her usual type, got it and moaned. Not only moaned but was openly harsh to Dean \u2013 and as someone who\u2019s been bigger I didn\u2019t like the way she spoke about weight and I know how that would have made me feel. He is annoying I grant you, but let\u2019s be a bigger person and give people a chance.<\/p>\n<p>Grace and Ashley:\u00a0Grace determined to find any fault possible with Ashley when she wouldn\u2019t be looking for one if she fancied him on first looks. Clearly things are softening though which is a positive for all involved.<\/p>\n<p>Keye and Davide:\u00a0Lots of instant chemistry but I fear Davide is less into it than Keye is.<\/p>\n<p>Nelly and Steven:\u00a0Gorgeous pair, great times for all involved.<\/p>\n<p>Leah and Leigh:\u00a0Leah truly one of the most beautiful souls to ever go onto MAFS UK and one of the highlights of the first week rundown of 2025. Love her and her vibes so much. Such a shame that Leigh seems determined to give everything a negative spin in the edit we\u2019ve seen.<\/p>\n<p>Joe and Maeve:\u00a0Actually think they\u2019re really well suited and I\u2019m unsure why Joe thinks he is somehow better.<\/p>\n<p>Divarni and Julia-Ruth:\u00a0I am obsessed with Julia-Ruth and think she\u2019s joy personified. I need them to work. Will be a pleasure for us all.<\/p>\n<p>Bailey and Rebecca:\u00a0Sort of like Joe and Maeve the re-up. And Dean and Sarah the re-up. Rebecca asked for an alpha masculine guy and she got it and is acting like she\u2019s been tricked. Don\u2019t get it!<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-523428\" class=\"size-full wp-image-523428\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot-2025-09-26-at-12.45.27.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1044\" height=\"608\"  \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-523428\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Credit: Channel 4<\/p>\n<p>The honeymoons this year are\u2026 a cut above<\/p>\n<p>Remember the years when someone used to have to slump off to the Lake District for their honeymoons? A distant memory. The budget is budgeting this year because why is everyone trekking halfway across the globe. We also need to see the footage of the flights. Do they sit together? Do they make small talk? Much to discuss.<\/p>\n<p>Another year, another bunch of iconic family members at weddings<\/p>\n<p>In particular, shout out to Joe\u2019s iconic mum and Leah\u2019s nan who lowkey stole the whole show. Scouse nans are just something special.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-523273\" class=\"size-full wp-image-523273\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot-2025-09-26-at-11.01.41.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1144\" height=\"812\"  \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-523273\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Credit: Channel 4<\/p>\n<p>The concept of someone telling someone else they\u2019re not the height they literally are<\/p>\n<p>I must unpick how I\u2019d react if someone (Rebecca) told me (Bailey) that I\u2019m not actually 6\u20194. When I literally am 6\u20194. I cannot comprehend that. I\u2019d be like, erm? Shall we get a tape measure out my love?<\/p>\n<p>The fact the weddings still aren\u2019t done<\/p>\n<p>Obviously Married at First Sight UK is all about weddings considering it can\u2019t be called MAFS 2025 without those aforementioned weddings happening \u2013 but I hate them and need to declare as much in this rundown of week one. Sorry! I hate the long, drawn out episodes and I crave a dinner party.<\/p>\n<p>Why are episodes running at nearly 2 hours? A feature length film! I don\u2019t think it\u2019s necessary, but I do think it\u2019s going to be a good season with plenty to slag off \u2013 so that concludes the week one rundown of MAFS UK 2025.
