That episode of Married At First Sight was literally so boring that the internet started discussing the politics around couples’ honeymoon destinations. Because what would MAFS be without a smidgen of discourse, jealousy, drama and intrigue?
In a nutshell, what people wanted to know was why do some MAFS couples get saucy overseas honeymoons, while others are lumbered with dogshit staycations 20 minutes down the road from their wedding venue? When Janelle‘s brother Jordan is done going full Scooby Doo on Adam‘s ass, I’d like to see him investigate that little caper. Move over, Benoit Blanc!
For context, Dan and Sandy (yes, that Dan) honeymooned in Singapore; Ollie and Tahnee hightailed it to Fiji; Lyndall and Cam scooted to Fraser Island; Bronte and Harrison went to the Hunter Valley; Jesse and Claire visited the Whitsundays, and Janelle and Adam ‘mooned in Cairns.
The internet noticed that some people definitely got the short end of the straw. You simply cannot argue that the Hunter Valley and Singapore are on the same level.
I would be so mad if I got sent to the hunter valley when other couples get to go to Singapore or the Whitsundays lmao #mafs #mafsau

I actually like the Hunter Valley but you would be pissed if you got that for a honeymoon and not Singapore or Fiji#MAFS #MAFSAU

Nah if at the first dinner party I found out people went to Fiji when I went to Cairns I’d be filthy #MAFSAU #MAFS

But then some folks put their tinfoil hats on and wondered whether the honeymoon location had anything to do with the couple’s chance at success. Honestly, I’m loving the creativity. Go girl, give us a conspiracy theory.
So they sent the two couples who they think won’t make it… to cheaper resorts in Australia… but the two couples they think might make it… they sent overseas #MAFS #MAFSAU #MAFSAustralia

There’s a pattern here…anyone going on a Queensland honeymoon is doomed. #MAFS #MAFSAU

So where did you go for your honeymoon? Singapore? Fiji? Nah, Cairns. When you know you’re not a producer fave looking at you Adam #MAFSAU #MAFS

Jokes aside, I definitely kind of get it. Ollie and Tahnee appear to be cute, normal fan favourites thus far and, unlike the other couples, they actually seem to like each other. Off to Fiji, you go.
However, Dan and Sandy seemed to be going OK-ish until photos of him pashing a wedding guest emerged, so their international honeymoon clearly meant jack shit.
But in saying that, our local ‘mooners Bronte and Harrison, Jesse and Claire and Janelle and Adam are all fucking doomed and you cannot tell me otherwise.
This means that Lyndall and Cam (who are also honeymooning in Australia) are our last hope at testing this theory. Until tomorrow night, when even MORE people get married and are inevitably forced to honeymoon in places you can visit for $49 via Jetstar (lost luggage and delayed flights not included).
