Welcome back to another episode of Pulling Teeth Australia.
On Sunday, Married At First Sight‘s commitment ceremony turned up the BS in lieu of any real drama, as a soft toy named Rick made a grown woman cry and a hipster barber had a close shave with reality.
Will Mishel finally acknowledge the ugly truth? Can stealing the curtains help Stacey see the light? And will Liz finally Ctrl+Alt+Delete her robo-husband? Let’s find out.
Throwing shade: On Sunday, Married At First Sight’s commitment ceremony turned up the BS in lieu of any real drama, as Stacey finally learned how to block out all the shade… by wearing a curtain
Josh and Cathy
Friend-zone! Cathy has been in the friend-zone ever since she went off at Josh for having a lively conversation with Hayley about four dinner parties ago
Cathy has been in the friend-zone ever since she went off at Josh for having a lively conversation with Hayley about four dinner parties ago.
John: ‘Wow, so much has changed between you guys. A fortnight ago we had to put tarp on the couches because you two kept “second basing” during the commitment ceremony.’
Cathy: ‘Those were the days…’
Josh: Yeah, loik, nah loik. This week has been great. But loik, before I wanted to mate with Caffy, but now she is my mate.’
Just mates, mate: Josh told the experts, ‘Yeah, loik, nah loik. This week has been great. But loik, before I wanted to mate with Caffy, but now she is my mate’
Cathy attempted to cry but she was dryer than Dubbo.
A wave of guilt washed over Josh’s face – like a man trying to work out if the sneaky couch fart he’d just let out was going to be fragrance free.
John: ‘Alright Josh, stay or leave?’
Smells like guilt: As Cathy started crying, a wave of guilt washed over Josh’s face – like a man trying to work out if the sneaky couch fart he’d just let out was going to be fragrance free
Josh: *Takes a big sniff* ‘I’ll let ya know in a few seconds.’
Cathy’s eyes started to water. It was hard to tell if it was due to heartbreak, or farticle-induced irritation.
John: ‘I’m talking about the relationship, Josh!’
Decision: STAY.
Decision: Cathy and Josh are going to STAY – but the writing’s on the wall
Stacey and Michael
Who are you wearing? Michael had confidence etched on his face, having successfully played the ‘memory fail’ card after cheating on Stacey last week. Meanwhile, Stacey was wearing curtains
Michael had confidence etched on his face, having successfully played the ‘memory fail’ card to escape punishment for cheating on Stacey last week.
Meanwhile, Stacey was wearing some curtains she’d nicked from the hotel.
Dr. Trisha: ‘Alright, Curtains! Trying to block out all the shade?’
Burn! Dr. Trisha opened with a zinger. ‘Alright, Curtains! Trying to block out all the shade?’
As the room erupted into laughter, Dr. Trisha experienced an emotion she’d never felt before.
That strange warmth you’re feeling, Trisha? It’s called ‘respect’. Soak it up while you still can.
The topic of conversation shifted to Michael, who proudly revealed he’d sworn off alcohol and will therefore remain faithful for at least another week.
‘Hahn Light doesn’t count, does it?’ The topic of conversation shifted to Michael, who proudly revealed he’d sworn off alcohol and will therefore remain faithful for at least another week
Michael: ‘Hahn Light doesn’t count, does it?’
Stacey – who definitely isn’t just sticking around for a slice of Michael’s ice cube fortune – immediately forgave her husband and decided to STAY.
Right, who’s next?
Decision: Stacey – who definitely isn’t just sticking around for a slice of Michael’s ice cube fortune – decided to stay in the experiment
Aleks and Ivan
Trouble in paradise: This season’s surprise success story have finally found a problem: Aleks can’t bring herself to sleep with Ivan and is playing the ‘I was raised not to talk about my sex life’ card with the experts
This season’s surprise success story have finally found a problem.
Aleks can’t bring herself to sleep with Ivan and is choosing to play the ‘I was raised not to talk about my sex life’ card around the experts.
Dr. Trisha: ‘Remember guys, this is Married At First Sight, not Friends!’
MAFS, not Friends: Dr. Trisha said, ‘Remember guys, this is Married At First Sight, not Friends!’
Ivan: ‘I’m qu… qu… quite comfortable with where we’re at.’
John: ‘Which is where?’
Ivan: ‘I’ll happily answer that question, right after this break.’
Mel: ‘Cut the crap, Andrew G, are you having sex, or not!?’
A weird buzzing started emanating from the room. We soon work out they’re coming from the corner of Ivan’s mouth, as he reached for the phone in his pocket.
Ivan: *Pretending to take a call* ‘Aunt Magda! How’s it going? Oh not much, just fighting with a pheromone expert about penetrating my wife.
‘Yeah, that’s right. Married…
Cut the crap! The experts pressed Ivan to reveal whether or not he’d had sex with Aleks. In response, Ivan and Aleks threatened to quit the show
‘Look, like as I’ve just told Trisha, I do not feel comfortable discussing this with you!’ *Hangs up the phone*
Aleks eventually got fed up with the persistent questions and threatened to leave the experiment so she could ‘pursue Ivan on the outside world’.
The threat turned out to be about as real as their sex life.
Decision: STAY.
Decision: The threat turned out to be about as real as their sex life. STAY
KC and Drew
The other man: Everything was going well for our intruders until KC met Rick – a licensed soft toy from the show Rick and Morty that Drew’s hot female housemate packed for him
Everything was going well for our intruders until KC met Rick.
KC: ‘We were all good until I found a teddy bear in his suitcase – only it wasn’t a teddy, it was some bloke named Rick.’
Rick (a licensed soft toy from the show Rick and Morty) was a gift from Drew’s sexy female housemate, Jessie.
Soft spot: KC: ‘We were all good until I found a teddy bear in his suitcase – only it wasn’t a teddy, it was some bloke named Rick,’ she told the experts
Drew: ‘KC is clearly dealing with some jealousy issues and I don’t know how to cope with it. Rick doesn’t do this crap!’
Michael and Curtains burst into laughter over how preposterous this whole situation was. You know you’re screwed when you’re getting laughed at by a Bed Bath N’ Table catalogue.
Decision: STAY.
Something funny? Michael and Curtains burst into laughter over how preposterous this whole situation was. You know you’re screwed when you’re getting laughed at by a Bed, Bath N’Table catalogue. Decision: STAY
Liz and Seb
Grin and bear it: Liz: ‘Everything is going great, he’s a big teddy bear,’ she told producers. Seb: ‘I trust her, which is a big thing for me’
Liz: ‘Everything is going great, he’s a big teddy bear.’
Seb: ‘I trust her, which is a big thing for me.’
Whoops, looks like I accidentally switched to Playschool: Up Late during the ad break.
Decision: STAY.
Through the boring window: Whoops, looks like I accidentally switched to Playschool: Up Late during the ad break. Decision: STAY
Mishel and Steve
Not so fast: Last week, Steve finally told Mishel that he didn’t find her attractive. So their decision should be a no-brainer
Last week, Steve finally told Mishel that he didn’t find her attractive. So their decision should be a no-brainer.
Mishel: ‘Yeah I’m voting stay thanks, John. Instagram talent agents don’t represent quitters and mumma smells a Weight Watchers deal!’
Steve naturally voted leave, which according to show’s rules means he’ll be held hostage for another week to try and ‘work it out’.
Easy decision: Mishel: ‘Yeah I’m voting stay thanks John. Instagram talent agents don’t represent quitters and mumma smells a Weight Watchers deal!’ According to show rules, Steve must now stay for another week, even though he voted leave
A look of disgust washed over Steve’s face as they re-joined their castmates on the couch.
Mishel: ‘Sorry, Steve. Do you hate me?’
Steve: ‘Of course not, Mishel, don’t be stupid!’
Mishel: ‘I’m trying not to be Steve, I really am.’
The big question: ‘Mishel: ‘Sorry Steve, do you hate me?’ Steve: ‘Of course not Mishel, don’t be stupid!’ Mishel: ‘I’m trying not to be Steve, I really am!’
