@MarriedAU: from the looks of the 2023 cast, it appears you haven't made any progress towards body diversity. You have so much power yet you continue to waste the opportunities you have to make a difference in representation in AU media. Do better! #RepresentationMatters#MAFSAU
Tamara's ex walks in.
"Yuck I hate the smell of him! His suit jacket he's already worn before!"
Now you're just recycling insults from the mean girl from my fave tween movie. If that's the worst you can say about him then no wonder you're still not over the guy.

"It doesn't matter what I do, I'll never be good enough for you."
Mitch, you're actually right. Not in the sense that she has unrealistic expectations, but because you will never be willing to be a decent partner.
You were never good enough because you chose not to be. #MAFSAU
"You say I'm not ready for a relationship, but what do you think I've been doing here the entire time?"
Being a selfish partner to a woman who's been suppressing her real needs in order to spare yours. It's unsustainable and, in my view, you can take none of the credit. #MAFSAU
Mitch saying "Ella wants all these things in a relationship" like she's high maintenance makes my blood boil. Not only does he express disdain for perfectly valid & healthy relationship behaviours, he tries to turn things around on her and frame them as her insecurity. #MAFSAU
Brent's majestic departure from final vows gave me strong "Nicole Kidman walking away from her lawyer's office after divorcing Tom Cruise" vibes and I loved it.
Fly and be free my good man #TeamBrent#MAFSAU
Me when Cody drives off to go home before final vows and Selina tells the camera:
"I'm not good with goodbyes. Normally I just get ghosted, so I never get to say goodbye."

I'm really hoping Ella takes Mitch's statement tonight as the deal-breaker it should be. It sounds like they both want very different things and there's nothing more to be said here as far as I'm concerned. Don't waste any more time on him girl, you deserve the world #MAFSAU
Domenica and Jack's Italian date is so cute, but why are they standing eating gelato in the rain? I'm stressed just watching. Relax and enjoy your food! #MAFSAU
Cody, I like you. You mean well. But when you said you were taught men shouldn't show emotions to act tough - to be frank, this entire time that you've been holding back on affection with your wife, no one thought of you as manly or tough. You just looked like a dick π€·

The fact that Jackson is staying with an openly cruel partner is making me lose respect for him. However, I also believe we shouldn't blame people for their partner's actions. Also, no couple aligns 100% on EVERY decision. But you have to draw the line somewhere, right?
#MAFSAU
Ah, the bland banter of complaining about floor cushions and your spouse's messy eating. It reminds me of the early seasons, when we had time to dwell on the everyday, typical struggles of the couples instead of spending it all on intercouple politics & cheating scandals.

Olivia: I don't care about Dom.
Also Olivia: Talks about Dom at every group gathering, to her husband, and when meeting her husband's friends. Researches her to the point of sharing an explicit image with the group.
Dom:
We all joke that Al acts so young, but at least he respects others. Olivia calling herself a petty bitch & sharing the bridesmaid dress story like it's her personal bio gives off strong vibes of a 13 yr old thinking it'll earn her a place in the Popular Girls Club
#MAFS#MAFSAU
@MorganaTalbot I can understand that. I do think that it would have helped Dom's apology if she hadn't given that context because whilst it is a common and natural instinct to explain yourself, in this case it did seem to distract a little from the point of her apology.
I've always felt uncomfortable with the trend of memes jokingly glorifying pettiness, but it wasn't until tonight's episode of #MAFSAU that I really understood the toxic consequences. We need to stop encouraging poor behaviour or perhaps we'll end up with a society of Olivias π€
