RIGHTO: tonight’s episode of Married At First Sight was a bloody fork to the eyeball. I don’t mean Martha and Michael, they’re a delight – their names start with the same letter. I’m talking about Ines (Ines? Innes? Iiiiines? Toxic woman????) and Bronson (“Brendan HahHHHAhahHah”).

Where to begin? At first glance, we don’t mind Ines. She’s a legal assistant “really passionate about human rights”, she’s confident, and knows what she wants. Sure, okay, let’s do this.
The first words she says to entrepreneur Bronson are, “Hi Bronson, can we get rid of your eyebrow ring please.”
MATE.
Elizabeth: I must be the most ‘confident’ bride on this show.
Ines: hold my beer 🍻#mafs— Erna Glassford (@SimplyCheecky) February 4, 2019
OH HO but wait. Ines tells producers, “The first time I saw him I wanted to punch him in the jaw. I don’t know why, it was just my instincts.”
Who says that?
“I don’t know anyone with an eyebrow ring except for lesbians who work at McDonalds drive thru.”
Jesus fuck.
Not the ring she expected… 💍 #MAFS pic.twitter.com/JGMC9qry8t

Not to mention, she described Bronson as having an “inbred vibe” just because he’s from the country.
Now, take that one long-extremely-atrocious-insult and multiply it by about ten because that’s the rest of their portion of the episode. Why? Because Ines finds out Bronson used to be a stripper – quelle horreur – and declares it’s “gross” before proceeding to tell everyone Bronson used to be a stripper.
“The fact he was a stripper, that is purely disgusting to me. That’s like me saying, yesterday I was a heroin addict and today I’m not,” she said. “This is pure bottom of the barrel. This is mortifying, it’s purely disgusting.”

Bronson cannot even sleep in a GODDAMN ONESIE ON THE COUCH THE SIZE OF HIS THIGH without Ines saying something rude. And what does he do? He goes with it. He just goes. with. it.
Meanwhile, across the country.
I can’t deal with anus I mean ines. #MAFSAU

First of all Ines Britney Spears never wore an eyebrow ring, second her breakdown was in 2007, not 2000. Lastly, when was mental health considered a joke? #MAFS #MAFSAU

I am honestly so disgusted with Ines, imagine being invested in human rights and social justice and carrying on about someone being a stripper in their past, I really wanted to like her at the start of the episode I don’t even know what happened #MAFS pic.twitter.com/FMHIEofTfq

Kinda annoying that #mafs producers put a guy like Bronson who is probably a genuine bloke with someone who is a total asshole for drama. I get that it’s television, but still feels like a shit move for the guy.

Ines: “Can we get rid of your eyebrow ring please?”
How about you get rid of your bad attitude Ines? Just a thought #MAFS #MAFSAU

Ines: I support human rights but also I will look down on sex workers because I think they’re less than human.

Ines: Hi Bronson, can we get rid of your eyebrow ring please?
The rest of Australia to Ines: Can we get rid if your shitty personality please? #MAFS

I’m sure there’s an old proverb about people with shoulder tats shouldn’t complain about eyebrow rings #MAFS

I feel like no one has ever told Ines that if she says mean things to people it actually hurts their feelings. #mafs pic.twitter.com/V6LMcFEDY3

Bronson’s family looks so heartbroken with Ines and her stupid comments, it’s so upsetting #MAFS

BIG BLOODY SIGH.
But, look, the episode wasn’t all bad.
Martha and Michael’s ceremony was genuinely adorable and I may or may not have semi-sobbed when Martha’s grandma got all emotional.

In conclusion: Bronson mispronounced Ines’ name and made a joke that it sounded like anus.
Fitting.
