On last night’s Married at First Sight, builder Sam Ball said something he shouldn’t have.
First, the 26-year-old said he scares women off because he’s too good looking and he’d like to not be judged by his appearance.
Then, when he saw his bride Elizabeth Sobinoff, he told the camera she’s “not what I expected” before remarking “I’ve never dated girls as big as her in the past.”
“She’s got a beautiful face,” he continued. “Maybe I’ll get her running in the mornings!”
…Oh, no.
While self-awareness may not be Sam’s strong point, he did at least anticipate the negative reaction his comments would get from viewers.
“I will probably be hated,” he told the Daily Telegraph. “I am prepared for it. I’ve got a pretty thick skin, I think, so I am ready for it.”
He argued his words didn’t quite come out… correctly. He just wanted to get Elizabeth involved in his active lifestyle, you see.
“I know what I meant to say. People will believe what they hear and what they see on the television and that is okay. I can take the criticism. I will take the bullet.”
How… heroic.
This is all very lucky, because he’s right. The people were mad, and there is no better place to share that anger than Twitter (seriously – his Instagram comments have been limited).
Sam went on to clarify to the Telegraph that Elizabeth is tall, loud and confident, but she “eats chocolate and Gatorade” for breakfast where he prefers a “wholesome meal”.
He described health and fitness as a huge part of his life, but said on MAFS he was looking for a connection that goes beyond looks.

Did we expect anything different from the kind of guy who would apply to be on MAFS and describes himself as too good looking to find love?
The guy is being a complete dick about it, but their lifestyles wouldn't even remotely match because, yes, he is a fitness based person and she's not.
I work out six days a week and eat pretty darn healthy. No way in hell do I want to be with a guy who eats chocolate and Gatorade breakfast, I want a guy who understands why I want my macros to be right, why my bench press is so important to me, and why I have no interest at all in devouring an entire tub of ice-cream on the couch on a Friday night.
I can totally understand wanting this but I must say my parents have made it work. My dad is a fitness fanatic ultra marathon runner and as obsessed with his nutrition. My mum is a couch potato and eats pretty disgustingly. I think as long as you respect each other's needs and lifestyle it is doable!
They sound like wonderful people :)
Thank you!! They certainly have figured out how to make opposites attract!
