Almost every single man on Married At First Sight is so fucked that people can’t decide who they hate the most. As every episode passes, our standards drop to depths so low, shawty probably hasn’t even gotten down there before in her apple bottom jeans and boots with the fur. Tonight’s shady MAFS bastard? Why it was was none other than Adam!
Now to be fair, Adam has always been a bit sketchy with his grindset, crypto bro attitude, plus the fact he kept dancing around what the fuck he does for a living whenever Janelle asked him.
But tonight he reached peak dodge during the phone swap challenge with his lovely wife. In case you missed the deeply dramatic start of the episode, Jesse shared in some weird, shirtless Blair Witch Project-esque confessional that Adam and Claire were super flirty at the pub and then he reckons he caught them on a secret phone call.
Then Jesse banged on Adam’s door at 1am demanding to see his phone and told Janelle she’s with a snake, which was true TBH. It was giving this meme.
This brings us to Adam’s fuckery. As part of Confessions Week, Mr Grindset and Janelle had to give their phones to each other for a perusal.
From the get go, Twitter was like, damn … Adam’s gonna hate this one. But also, which came first: the Adam/Claire/Jesse phone drama or the challenge? A real philosophical one there.

Then Janelle suggested doing a “quick 10 minute scroll” of their phones which, to be fair, is a full-blown investigation. You’re uncovering secret apps and embarrassing essays you’d penned to old boyfriends in that timeframe.
Twitter was equally perplexed.

Adam then started going on about how it was “intrusive” and he didn’t want to “read into anything” which, let’s be real, is exactly what someone who has something to hide would say. The internet agreed with me on that one.
“Feels a bit intrusive” have something to hide hey Adam!!!! #MAFSAU

Ah yes Adam I’m sure you’re hesitant to do this task bc you want to respect Janelle’s privacy, not for any other reason #MAFS #MAFSAU pic.twitter.com/8xwlKc3Ceo

Some folks on ye ol’ Twitter also thought Adam was sketchy about his phone ‘cos he didn’t want Janelle to see his bank balance LOL.

Adam manipulated the fuck out of Janelle and was basically like, “You can look at my phone, but I won’t look at yours! Only insecure couples go through each others’ phones! We’re in such a good place RN!” and she … bought it? And was OK with it, even though she said she wanted to have a squiz at his phone?
Sweet angel Janelle, if you’re reading this, plz see the ruby red flags. Xoxo Isabella and the internet.
seeing how chuffed adam was when janelle decided not to look at his phone… THE FLAGS ARE BRIGHT RED #mafs #mafsau

I would be kind of impressed with how smoothly Adam gaslit his wife if it wasn’t so gross #mafs #mafsau
— Alex (@Murr_Wurr) February 8, 2023
Adam gaslighting Janelle into thinking that only insecure couples allow each other to go through their phones, because that makes so much sense. This show is truly an education into the sorts of gaslighting used by different types of men. #mafs #mafsau #mafsaus #MAFSAustralia

Adam when he realised he just manipulated the shit out of Janelle.. The fuck sis.. he is suss city 🚩🚩🚩🚩#mafs #MAFSAU #MAFSAUS pic.twitter.com/owdKDhg3wM

Adam just completely manipulated Janelle into not doing the phone experiment and thinking she made that decision.
Disgusting! #MAFSAU #MAFSAustralia #MAFS

In the end he dodged the phone challenge because the episode wasn’t long enough for that storyline AND Josh sentencing Melissa to horny jail, which you can read about in our gorgeous recap here.
