I really wish more people were watching this show! I just noticed that my MAFS Australia recaps are not getting much feedback. Y’all are missing a really good show! And we get to see all of Australia. This episode we are going to see where the grooms live. It’s a four day homestay trip.
Lizzie & Sebastian
Lizzie is going to the airport alone? Where is she going? She is hurt that Seb criticized her unhealthy eating habits. He’s a personal trainer I think. I didn’t see Lizzie first season, but I am starting to think she didn’t need another season. She’s very dramatic. Eventually, they arrive at Seb’s place. It’s quite nice. Seb feels bad when Lizzie explains how his comments made her feel judged and bad about herself. He apologizes. They kiss and makeup. Later they go “ice skating” with a walker.
Cathy & Josh
Cathy is supposedly sick. However, after the commitment ceremony apparently she went out without her husband and stayed out until 2 am. This obviously caused a huge fight. Cathy cries during an interview because at the last commitment ceremony, where they both chose to stay, Josh said that it feels to him like they are stuck in the friend zone. Her behavior makes it seem like they are not even friends anymore. She thought things were fine. She was blindsided by Josh’s comments about being more like friends. Cathy has strange eyebrows. What? I’m just saying. She seems really into Josh and it is heartbreaking to watch her be so sad. She feels rejected and just wants to get the rejection over with. Eventually, Josh apologizes and they hug it out and head to his place in New Castle.

Josh has had a Christmas tree up in his apartment for two years. I’m okay with that. I do have trouble understanding Josh though. Cathy takes it in stride as well. Josh takes Cathy on a motorcycle ride to the beach. I’m going to have to figure out how to get to Australia with the shortest flights possible. You know, if WE ARE EVER ALLOWED INTO OTHER COUNTRIES AGAIN! Cathy is nervous that Josh will bring up issues she is not aware of at dinner with his family. He says there is nothing. I get the feeling there will be. Especially since Josh’s mother is kind of a bitch. Josh tells his mom that he and Cathy are very different. He’s a mama’s boy and not supporting Cathy. Instead he gives his mommy a whole list of things he doesn’t like about Cathy. She should leave. Wow, Josh is a dick. I really liked him too. It’s sad.
Stacey & Michael
Stacey finally gets to see just how rich Michael is. His house is amazing. But she is critical about his bachelor pad. Um, he was living the bachelor life! In his private theater, she refuses to sit next to him because the two center seats are worn from him watching movies with his conquests. She is so ridiculous. They are both obnoxious. She’s ready to move her kids in though. Micheal wants to go swimming but Stacey didn’t bring a swimsuit. So he offers her a random female swimsuit he has laying around. So she goes swimming in his clothes.
KC & Drew
Drew lives in Cairns. I want to live in Cairns. KC is already complaining about the heat. Why are they walking down the street with their luggage? Oh I forgot this is the guy with a roommate who has been conveniently removed from the home by production. But the ginormous stuffed animal collection is still there. WTF is really going on here? Maybe the housemate is a kid?

These two seem to be very attracted to each other. Drew is hot. And they have very romantic dates. They seem very happy together. COULD IT BE? Well, except for the whole stuffed animal thing. I think this is just production looking or problems. But when Drew goes out, this fool starts THROWING AWAY his things! That would be the end for me if I were Drew. He comes in and catches her in the act. It’s not just the stuffed animals but some of his clothes as well! I can’t stand KC. It’s becoming a pattern for me that I am always on the guy’s side. Bitches are evil!
Connie & Jonethen
Jon lives on the beach. I would love to live there. These two go skateboarding near the water. It’s Connie’s first time. Jon is sort of an asshole. I love Connie. She is really trying to please him when she shouldn’t have to. Connie is great. I hate that she is so hopeful about her future with Jon. The writing is on the wall, sweetie. Jon is making dinner for Connie and his friend. This is just not fun to watch. Tyler seems like a douche.

How much more must Connie endure? Apparently, she has to attend a BBQ with Jon’s friends. Connie needs to have more confidence. This relationship is not up to Jon. It’s her decision. She gets on well with his friends. Things went reasonably well. The friends seem to approve. I hope this will work. But, I don’t have any faith about it. This is the only couple really where I am on the female side. I love Connie! These two go to the beach for the day and seem to be back on track. Don’t fuck this up, Jon. These two have not had sex. And Connie wants to and he doesn’t. Le sigh. Jon is such a douche. I mean I get he is not down with it. But my heart breaks for Connie.
Aleks & Ivan
Ivan lives in Sydney so they didn’t have to travel. Ivan is a real estate agent who does quite well for himself. At least to hear him tell it. His apartment is NOT luxurious as he suggested. There are folding chairs and everything is very sparse. Ivan seems to think he lives in a palace. He’s delusional. Then things go from bad to worse. Are there rednecks in Australia because this car racing shit happens regularly in my ghetto. I thought he was rich? Aleks is not impressed either. I just realized it is Friday night and the hood is ODDLY quiet.

Ivan thinks that taking Aleks to see his listings would be fun. Really? Aleks is unmoved. She feels like they are going back to work. Did he just call her “his little assistant?” Are they really going to do an open house? Yes, yes they are. He went from treating her like a queen to literally calling her his assistant. Also, if he is so rich, why does he drive a Volkswagen. Not that there is anything wrong with a Volkswagen. It’s just he acts like he is rich and clearly, he is not. Aleks seems over Ivan too. She doesn’t want to live in Sydney. She is not really interested in being with him forever. BOOM. I agree with Aleks. Ivan is clueless. Aleks is going to break Ivan’s heart.
Mishel & Steve
I don’t think these two have even shared a bed yet. So going to Steve’s one bedroom flat is quite the challenge. He sleeps on the couch. This is never going to work. I am team Steve. Mishel has lost her voice. She says she may be allergic to Melbourne. Is it dry there? I used to go to Vegas back in the day and always lost my voice despite growing up in the Sahara. These two go to visit some of Steve’s friends. Steve tells his friends that he adores Mishel but he is not physically attracted to her. I don’t feel like it is her looks, but her mean personality. Steve’s friends of course stick up for Steve. Mischel leaves. I think Mishel is very pretty. It’s just a personality clash with these two.
Next week we have a very dramatic dinner party and commitment ceremony. Did Aleks cheat? What is going on here?
I just noticed this show here in Ireland two days ago they are showing it but I want to download from the start, it’s next on my list it looks great!!
What a week! Josh is an asshole. They got off to such a great start but I’m starting to think that was only because Josh must have acted completely different from his real self. After Cathy did a smart thing to ask him in advance if there was anything he wanted to talk about, and he assured her there wasn’t, he did it anyway! AGAIN! His mother is a total bitch and this whole conversation was to drive a deeper wedge between them a la Debbie and Cole and Jess. Did you see the big smile on his face when his mother was criticizing Cathy? And the whole three day thing was because Josh told her he was leaving. But poor Josh, Cathy was hurt and confused so she withdrew but it’s Josh who suffered! Ugh! I wish she would have calmly spoken up for herself when Bitch Mother was ragging on her. But it wouldn’t have made any difference so I understand her thinking fuck it. But I HATE to see someone wrongly blamed for something. And all this after he convinced her to go! She didn’t want to, did it anyway, and then got treated like that??! Turns out Josh is a narcissist. He charmed her in the beginning and had his mask firmly in place. Then manipulated her by threatening to leave. Then sets her up to be the bad guy. Then he uses public settings to tear her down when he knows she is not going to cause a scene because she’s too nice and has manners.
I hope he gets a public come uppance from those useless experts.
I LOVE this show. Please no spoilers!!!!
First, did the ghetto stay quiet?
I wish the American version had the same format as Australia. I like the dinner parties and commitment ceremony.
100% agree with everything Lucinda said. Josh is gaslighting Cathy. I really had hope for them. I liked their relationship and how much fun they had with role playing cop and cowboy.
I feel Michele has emasculated Steve. She took his man card. She wants to only do extreme sports and he wanted romantic dinners and wine. I am a Steve fan. I feel bad for the guy.
I couldn’t believe KC threw away Drew’s stuff. I was shocked by her behavior.
I am a big Connie fan. I wish she was more confidence too. I think something is off with Jonethen. Seriously, I have issues with the man and how I have to spell his name.
Stacey and Micheal need to go far, far away and never to return in my tv screen.
I love that you are team Steve too. I feel like I’m the only Steve fan. I don’t care for Stacey and Micheal. That said they are a perfect match and will probably be the only couple to survive.
I love Connie too. I think Jonethen is hiding something from her. She deserves to be kissed and have sex already!!!! If I married these guys I would be doing the nasty by now.
I can’t get enough of Bennett and Amelia in the US version. I want a show just about them. They are fascinating to watch. Did you watch this past weeks episode? I also love Woody. I like how he is with his new father in laws.
This guy is an ahole, if I was Kathy I would just up and leave this man is a worthless liar and a total manipulator. No wonder he is still single, good looks, no substance, coupled with evil ways and a bitch of a mother. He and his mom are just the worst!
Mishel and Steve are never going to work out. They barely stay in the friend zone. Note to Steve: quit telling everyone you’re not attracted to her. You know it. She knows it. Isn’t that enough?
I liked Ivan until this episode. He keeps talking about his “lifestyle”. Unless he has millions in the bank, a yacht parked outside, or a Lambo in the garage, I don’t see any “lifestyle “. I was shocked at his total cluelessness. He thought she was having a good time? Did he not look at her face? I thought she was not very open about the car thing. But taking her to work and calling her his assistant, oy! And they haven’t had sex yet and clearly won’t ever. I’m sorry he’s going to be hurt, but next time he should pay attention to how his partner is feeling.
KC was totally out of line throwing things out. I was shocked. Yes, the stuffed animal thing is out of control and there’s something we don’t know yet about all that. But to just start getting rid of stuff without any discussion was a big no no. That really changed his opinion of her and I understand that.
Connie is in the S.S. Clueless with Ivan. She’s trying so hard. But her man child husband is never going to feel about her the way she does about him. She reminds me of Mindy. Mindy would get so excited any time she thought there was a glimmer of hope with Zach. But there is no hope. No glimmers. Nothing. You’re with a guy in his 20s. He wants to fuck anything that moves. If he doesn’t want to fuck you now he never will.
Stacey and Michael continue to be assholes. The whole “power couple” thing. Ridiculous. Delusional. I would like to stay in his house for a vacation, however.
Lizzie has problems. I didn’t see her last season but I’m starting to wonder if whatever went wrong wasn’t all her husband’s fault. Others here have wondered about her having an eating disorder and this episode seems to confirm it. Sebastian must have commented about it which Lizzie didn’t like. They had a reasonable conversation about what he said, but her wanting to be in everyone’s business plus an eating disorder equals oh oh.
I totally missed the whole eating disorder thing. I was wondering why him saying her diet was unhealthy was such a big deal. NOW I get it.
Lizzie’s previous husband Sam commented on the night of their wedding“ I never really dated girls as big” as her and that he might get her up in the mornings to run off some of her bigness.
She also suffers from Porphyria and an auto-immune condition, a mild form of Lupus that causes her body to attack itself which is why people believe she is anorexic.
She doesn’t help herself with the other couples as should concentrate on her partner..I would like these two to work out.
Stacey and Michael continue to be assholes. They believe they are a cut above the rest….totally agree with @Lucinda Meyer…..Delusional.
I agree. She looks so much older than her stated age, I keep forgetting she’s in her 20’s. She seems too phony to me. They belong together,
Micheal and Stacey act like this is a game show they need to win. She has a million outfits for every day and yet doesn’t have 1 bikini? That is hard for me to believe.
@Joey – No spoilers all will be revealed.
I forget this show is even on, maybe because that stupid couples cam is on so I just avoid the channel. Missed last week but saw about half this week. I really thought Mishel and Steve would be done but here we are. Poor Connie, she is so insecure this guy just walks all over her. Then at the beach when he said he shouldn’t have given her false hope this week, i just want to slap the crap out if him. The new couples, Seb and Lizzy. She lost alot of weight since the last show maybe he’ll do her good, putting on healthy weight because she is gaunt. That dancer girl and her mate, if she threw my dogs unicorn toys out she’d be in the trash. Nothing worse than someone messing with your stuff. Aleks is just a tool, I dunno is there a Million Dollar Listing in Australia hes auditioning for, lol! I know were getting to the home stretch but let’s be beal 4 of these couples would have called the it quits at week 2-3, but the weekly stipend and TV alure is just too great I guess. On a side not not related but sort of, I love Romona Singer for staying away from the face fillers, she said in season 1 they look awful and she’s stuck to that, minus a nip or tuck or botox. Some if these women, Stacie, Cathy look alien like. I dunno maybe we really are aliens trying to go back to our original features. And on that note I’ll lay off the drugs🤪 but seriously, their faces are getting huge compared to their body size!
@Annabelle’s doll – I threw you under the bus and told Annabelle your logging on and smoking her weed…
Annabelle is lucky you are not watching RHOB as their bobble heads can be seriously scary especially if you are on drugs.
Long story short….You may be getting grounded in the toy box.
@tuatha 12, yes she really didn’t have a filter that day!! Going back in the toy box for her. Oh she is watching, Brandi. Lol, no comment!!!
I beg to differ she was clear and concise ” i just want to slap the crap out if him ” I had vision of this beautiful Victorian china doll, slapping 7 shades of sh*t out of him and then stomp all over his life – “his phone”
Prefer the aussie version over the us version. The us version is to drawn out with the wedding etc. Poor Connie is delusional….when someone is interested in you there is my contact. Jonethen has kept his distance from the start… no physical attraction. Mishel should have packed up and left. Josh is a jerk throwing cathy under the bus again. Drew’s place is disgusting and the stuffed animals a bit odd…taking one on his honeymoon….wtf! Michael is not ready to settle down…its ridiculous.
I love these recaps. I like this version better than the US version. My DVR did not record the episode where erratic chick who made out with Michael left along with Mikey and his gal. I am so bad with names lately, sorry. If it were not for your recaps I would’ve been clueless! Thank you!!!
I HATE when people get Stacey’s chicken cutlet cheekbone work done. It must feel so gross to the touch. Maybe It stems from my childhood fear of ventriloquism dummies.
Wouldn’t you love to see a before picture? The lips are what kill me, I have yet to see anyone who looks good with lip fillers or injections. They just look like blow-up dolls period.
@BeetsWhy – There are a multitude of before images – brunette- extremely pretty, no trout pout and no chicken cutlet cheekbones.
Cathy & Josh and Connie & Jonethen have the same problem I think. Both men want a skinny little blond. Just my opinion.
KC & Drew are strange, him with the stuffed animals and her throwing his shit out. Seb & Lizzie I’m still waiting to see. It’s weird that they came in so late to the game. I mean experiment.
Mishell & Steve. I’m on her side, he doesn’t need to bring up he’s not attracted to her to his friends. He has struck me as cold, judgmental and boring from start. She has the potential to be way more fun and happy with someone else. I’d like her to get a do-over.
Stacy & Michael. I’m calling bullshit on Michael’s place. It looks like a furnished rental. Very beige. No sign of anyone actually living there. The theater seats and the bathing suit had to have been set up. Seriously, even the dumbest guy knows better than to offer new girl old girl’s anything.
I love this version, I’m going to look for previous seasons once this one is done.
Really a good thought about Michael’s place bring a rental. It is so sterile. No pictures of anyone. And I agree about the bathing suits. She knows she’s going to a place on the beach with a pool and she doesn’t pack an itsy bitsy teeny weeny bikini? Unlikely.
@Lucinda Meyer – There might be a reason she did not pack a bikini!!
I am so glad more people are watching however my lips are sealed…… Stacy has many layers to her. Keep watching and get a large bottle of wine for the Reunion.
@BeetsWhy – I would like both Mishell & Steve to get a do-over….They remind of singers who apply for singing shows- Come back next year it’s just not your time yet- Neither of them are in the right emotional mind set this year.
@BeetsWhy – I thought it was a rental however the fecker does own it….You can rent it for $1,000-per-night. He very seldom lives there which is why it is so sterile…..Business venture not a family home.!!
I’m watching!! It’s fantastic!
Jonethan BETTER clue Connie into the fact that he’s going to say “leave” this week and not leave her hanging. I will be pissed if he continues to lead her on.
Josh is a dbag for insisting he wasn’t going to yammer on with his family then going right ahead and doing so.
OMG, I truly loathe Stacy and Michael but her more than him. She’s a total ass about everything, including still referring to his cheating as “allegations”.
KC, she is a jerk for thinking it was ok to go through Drews stuff and throwing it out. Not cool. That breakfast scene made me hungry for an egg burrito though.
I still like Michel and Steve but I completely get where she’s coming from. Stop telling everyone that you’re not (yet) attracted to her. It’s mean.
I’ve been searching high and low online to see how I can watch the previous seasons of this show and coming up empty. Naturally I don’t want to pay for them so…if you have any tips, holler!
Oh Ivan. You fooled me into thinking you were a gentleman who is tuned into the likes and dislikes of your wife. “hey, my friends are driving their souped up cars to the beach, let’s go fawn over them” is far from an invitation I’d like. Taking her to a real estate showing????? Snoozeville.
My wife and I are sharing our home office during Covid, since mid-March. I think I might invite her to a date at my desk so she can watch me take some conference calls up close. Romantic, right?
Kara, google “dailymotion married at first sight australia s10 e1” That will get you started on the previous season where Lizzie started. I’m going to watch when this season ends. There are also all the AU versions of Survivor on there which I devoured. All free, no catch.
Hope you see this!
Season 10 is one of my all time favourite seasons –
Whoops- I got my MAFS confused – This is Season 7 so Lizzie is also in Season 6
I got my countries/seasons confused, thank you!
I see it!! thanks!
I forgot to mention Ivan, how could I forget him! He reminds me of the 70s SNL skit with Steve Martin and Dan Ackroyd – Two wild and crazy guys. They were Russian guys who thought they were so hip and cool but, of course, they were not. That is Ivan and his creepy car buddies. Alex’s needs to run.
🤣🤣🤣spot on🤣🤣🤣
Ivan is a weasel, poor Aleks wanted a husband got a man child who is only on MAFS to allow him to live his reality dream of being Australia’s version of Josh Flagg even if it is only for 15 mins.
Aleks you role is minor – The assistant to prep for an home house.!!!
Maybe….perhaps…MMMMM….Anyone??? -I am flip/flopping over Ivan…HELP!!……He is a weasel.
OK peeps now that we are settling into the season things will now start to “heat up” at the dinner parties…due to many reasons and now the fun really beginnings……Enjoy!!
Catch up with everyone next episode.
