Once again, I’m sorry for the Married At First Sight spoilers – time zones suck. In tonight’s bunch of commitment ceremonies Sarah and Telv pick forever after. That’s all, everyone predicted – or well knew ‘cos of pap shots of Carly and Troy – the fate of the other two. Like John and Mel were going to split, pls. Oh, also seriously PO’d Troy did some self-loving and Ash looked very surprised to hear her ex-groom got the message she wasn’t into him after eight weeks into a show. SHOCKER.
Anyway straight to it and as always, videos and transcriptions below. Enjoy
Sarah & Telv
Sarah catches up with her mates for some serious talk which again includes her insecurities of Telv. Sarah also wants Telv to move right this second, NOW. And in her speech there was something about full-time love but my eyes rolled back into my head so I missed it.
Also this tweet sums it up.
Telv “I’m prepared to give eveything up and move to be with you”
Sarah “it’s not enough, I want to harvest your soul” #MAFS— Dave (@21keno) March 19, 2018
That aside, the ceremony was actually quite the tear-jerker especially because it was in a seriously candle-lit room with bunches of plants everywhere and that is serious fire hazard.
Telv’s speech is so sweet I get a headache. He showers her with compliments and talks about the lifelong memories they’ve already made. It’s like something straight out a movie – oh wait. Anyway, he says, “And you Sarah, are definitely worth fighting for,” and then everyone cries. He’s in love and fully committed.
And then it’s Sarah’s turn.
“When we first met at our wedding ceremony, I straight away felt at ease with you, you reassured that you would look after me and that my heart was in good hands with you. But there are definite times when I don’t feel as if you’re ready to be a married man. It hurt me a lot hearing from you the last few weeks, that you weren’t prepared to take a chance on us and go whole-heartedly in with me outside this experiment. It was really difficult for me to do and I don’t want a part-time love, I need full-time love so with that all being said I’m putting my heart on the line now. I acknowledge that I just can’t help how I feel about you and I want you to know just how special you are to me. Telv, you definitely have my heart and there is nothing and no-one else that even comes close to you. I want to continue to share my life with you and make so many more new amazing memories together. Telv, I’ve totally fallen in love with you.”
They kiss, the music swells, and Savage, the Twitter awakes.

BUT, others are genuinely happy for the couple so each to their own.
Ashley & Troy
On their own, they’re great – together it’s like a bad tattoo you can’t cover up with a rose. We all saw this coming so pretty much Troy absolutely tears into Ash.
“It was hard to ever ascertain your true feelings for me. I was constantly having to act out of blind faith because there was literally little to no reciprocation. I was also never sure what mood you were going to be in. It seemed that your mood could sometimes take a downward spiral for no apparent reason. This hurt me at times especially when it would happen after spending a very good time together and the painstaking progress in our relationship would quickly become undone. Ashley, I said ‘I love you’ on two occasions because I thought I did but now I realise it was me trying to believe we had something more than we did. I truly wanted us to work, I gave this relationship absolutely everything I had, EVERYTHING I HAD but unfortunately it wasn’t enough to win your heart over. You are not the woman I’ve been searching for and I know that somewhere out there, there is a woman that’ll realise my value and love me for all that I am.”
Then they both sort of just stand there, look for the producers, and ask when they can leave. (Not really but you get the point.)
Some times passes and sad victim Troy cries into Carly’s lap.
Is this the end for #TeamTrAshley? 😢 #MAFS pic.twitter.com/ONRI1YUpYE

John & Mel
John orders a pizza and Thai food for dinner to do-it-like-we-all-do and eat our emotions away. This is despite the fact we all know John and Mel are going to stick together. Their kids and rooted lives are a definite obstacle as is the completely insurmountable distance of one hour.
Anyway, here’s Mel’s speech. She is a journo so we go most newsworthy info first, important details, other general info, and then the conclusion.
“To step out of my life and hand myself over to the experiment was one of the hardest and most rewarding things I have ever done and I couldn’t have gotten through this without you. We are so alike in many ways with our easy-going natures and we are both genuinely happy people in real life. It has made it so easy for us to live together and reminded me how nice it is to have a partner, as long as it’s the right person. In spite of all that I feel in my heart there are some real obstacles when it comes to life in the outside world. Firstly, the fact that I’m still raising my daughter El, and of course there’s the issue of distance and neither of us eager to relocate in the future. I would never ever want to change you but I can’t move to Altona.”
But alas, the two decide to give love ago because they are apparently kindred spirits and love will show them the way. (Neither of them want to be alone in their golden years).
