Mamamia recaps Married At First Sight: ADAM BETTER RUN.

To catch up on all the Married at First Sight recaps and gossip, check out the MAFS hub page. We've got you covered.

Jesse is done with cheater Claire, who is telling herself she's an idiot as Jesse walks off into the arms of Harrison.

OH JESSE NO.

Harrison says "I'M SO SORRY BRO" and I??? I'm so done with this man that I'm even side-eyeing him comforting someone. DID HE SOUND SINCERE? NOT TO ME. But he did also gaslight Bronte a few episodes back by telling her she was gaslighting him. So my judgement is rather clouded.

"You were right, bro. You were f***ing right," he exclaims.

"They made you feel small and insignificant and I know what that's like because I do it to people all the time"

WAIT WTF.

Then Harrison starts a piece-to-camera with "I don't particularly like Jesse", which feels UNNECESSARY TO THE CONVERSATION AT HAND.

But Harrison is a really nice person, you see, so he feels like need to "correct that wrong" against someone he DOESN'T LIKE. It provides him with an opportunity to highlight that he's not the only sh*thead remaining, so it makes sense. 

Jesse says he didn't know he had the capacity to be hurt like this and we watch an emotional lil montage of him and Claire cry, before a rude cut to Hugo's speech because OH YEAH THERE'S A FAKE WEDDING HAPPENING.

Sorry to Cat Hater Tayla and Human Labrador Hugo but we literally couldn't care less about you right now.

The following morning, Jesse is ready to confront "dog of dogs" Adam.

I'm stealing that moniker.

He knocks on Adam's door and greets him with "I think you better come with me, bro". 

Adam grabs some shoes and balls, per Jesse's suggestion, and they walk to Jesse's apartment to spend 10 minutes going back on forth with "why am I here?" and "why do you think you're here?"

SOMEONE GET TO THE POINT PLEASE.

Adam walks out of the apartment, so they can take their unproductive communication style into an environment where everyone can hear.

The next two minutes are just men yelling.

It's unenjoyable.

Claire, who can hear the commotion from her room, follows the sound and explains the situation at an appropriate decibel level: basically, it was a drunken, one-off kiss that they immediately realised was wrong.

Adam keeps saying that he "can wear it".

Ok here you go

Adam goes back to his and Janelle's apartment and seems surprised that cameras followed him.

YES! HI! WE ARE WATCHING!

Adam tells Janelle about the kiss in a very roundabout way.

"On that night out that we all went out and got smashed," he starts before rambling, a little lot. 

"I didn't rip [Jesse] a new one for what he did because I could see where it was coming from. To me, it was nothing but me and Claire had a little kiss downstairs and I'm saying here right now he was pinning it on me like it was all me..."

KEEP DIGGING.

He says he didn't think they were in a good place at the time, which Janelle calls bullsh*t on.

She leaves the apartment, shell-shocked, and breaks down in the hallway before going to visit Jesse.

Thank God Alessandra taught Jesse how to hug before his episode

They bond over collective trauma and how much they dislike Dog of Dogs Adam.

Janelle says she's going to blast him at the dinner party and the commitment ceremony, and yes, I am not too good to admit that I can't f***ing wait to see it.

She asks Adam to move out of their apartment and he reckons things might be okay if he gives it a few days.

Pretty weird that he hasn't said sorry to her, isn't it!? Almost like he's just annoyed he got caught!

"She'll be right!"

Oh yeah.

There are new couples.

I'm sorry to their future ability to garner endorsement deals, but I truly forgot about them all.

They've just arrived at their honeymoon destinations, and Rupert is still struggling to interact with Evelyn because of how hot she is but also because of how cold her nipples are.

To avoid damaging the furniture, she decides to warm them up with a bath.

The issue is that this means she is in a bikini. Looking beautiful. And Rupert is physically incapable of acting like a human in her presence.

That is the whole point Rupert, she has to warm up her razor sharp nipples!

Tayla and Hugos' honeymoon is going okay, because so far Hugo has not tried to do... literally anything.

Ah, wait. Tayla reckons the two-seater couch in their room is perfect for him to sleep on - or the floor, if he prefers! - while she takes the bed.

No prior discussion, compromise or uh, respect, necessary.

"You're asking me to respect you, surely it goes both ways?" he asks.

"Uh, no," she replies.

Tayla, you can't just straight up say you don't respect your new fake husband and expect that to be fine.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Meanwhile, Rupert has learned how to speak coherent sentences long enough to arrange a spa day for Evelyn, with a special masseur for the occasion: himself.

It goes as expected (awkwardly).

And Tayla's decided to put a wager on a game of croquet; winner gets the bed tonight.

This also goes as expected.

Which means Tayla wins, changes the terms of the bet, and claims the bed for the rest of the experiment.

Hope he has a good physio

In Sydney, Janelle wakes up on the couch in her apartment alone, after a night of $7 wine, snacks, and a prepared Gatorade for the morning after.

This is the most relatable thing to happen in 10 seasons of this show:

These are the universal symbols for "going through it"

She's taken her ring off and says she's never putting it back on. Has anyone tried telling her Adam kept this quiet until he was forced to tell her for her own good? That might help her come around!

Adam goes to see if she'd like to chat, to which she says NOPE and shuts the door in his face.

I am already so excited for tomorrow.

Back on the honeymoons, producers know we have all had enough of Rupert's paralysing awkwardness. So they throw the honeymoon box at him and Evelyn, forcing them - but mostly him - to speak. In full sentences.

Rupert is nervous about the questions because Rupert is nervous about everything.

The best moment comes when he wonders if it is obvious that Evelyn makes him nervous, and Evelyn says only "a little bit".

A perfectly crafted white lie.

He says it is because he is so attracted to her, which Evelyn - a model, mind you! - is shocked and pleasantly surprised to learn.

"Where were the signs?"

Hugo is also hoping to get to the bottom of where he stands with Tayla. Who might hate him, but might also just hate the idea of compromising/being nice.

He asks her what she wanted in a partner.

"I was probably someone the opposite of you," she tells him.

Oh. So she hates him.

In response, he looks uncannily like this man:

Twinsies

Taylor says she requested someone who didn't talk much.

And holy sh*t.

This is for my recap OGs:

I did not foresee this image getting a second life!!!

She wanted a "man's man". Ugh, here we go again. By this, she means a "tradie, footballer, bit rowdy, likes to drink beer and beer only, I guess".

ADVERTISEMENT

Fellas, is it feminine to drink anything other than beer? Where is angel Duncan to give a spirited speech about masculinity again?!

Hugo says it seems like she made up her mind about him at first glance and has been a b*tch to him ever since. Yikes! 

He says she has given no indication that she's interested in furthering their fake marriage to which she says "shut up" because he 'likes the sound of his own voice too much and it annoys her'.

Oh my god. They've literally just gone and replaced old Jesse.

Tayla says she wants to take it slow and needs time, and Hugo stares down the camera like he's Jim Halpert.

Janelle has gathered Melinda and Tahnee for a gossip about Adam's cheating and food delivery product placement.

Melinda offers damn good supportive commentary and Tahnee offers appropriately shocked facial expressions.

Janelle recounts a conversation she had with Claire after the cheating claims first came out, where she asked her straight if she had anything to worry about and Claire said no.

OOPS.

Janelle asks for their support at the dinner party, because she is planning on roasting them both.

Not sure I've made it clear, but I am FROTHING.

SEE YOU ALL THEN.
