MAFS Australia fans say 'oh no' after groom Tim's 'exposing' confession in show first
Married at First Sight Australia fans were left speechless as bride Katie watched her husband Tim's audition tape on Wednesday.
Married at First Sight Australia viewers were left muttering "oh no" after witnessing bride Katie's "devastating" realisation on Wednesday (March 12).
Fans have been glued to their screens for the 12th series of the hit match-making experiment, which kicked off on E4 last week.
Following the fiery first dinner party last night, today's instalment saw the newlyweds move into their shared apartments for the first time.
While most couples gleefully began nesting in their new digs, poor Katie faced the prospect of solo living after a falling out with her husband, Tim.
On paper, they looked like a spot-on pair, but Tim didn't hesitate to tell producers he wasn't feeling a "spark" towards Katie, reports OK!
Ever hopeful, Katie tried to ignite some romance during their honeymoon, only to hit the wall with Tim's indifference. However, he shocked everyone at the dinner party by claiming he'd been "making the most effort" in the relationship, prompting Katie's jaw to drop.
After coming under fire from others for his behaviour, a frustrated Tim then walked out of the dinner party early.
In tonight's episode, in spite of all the ups and downs, Katie clung onto hope that sparks might fly if they began living together.
But the plot took another twist as the producers dropped a bombshell. Tim had decided to bail on the apartment move, opting to fly back home to Melbourne instead.
In an unprecedented moment, a heartbroken Katie was left gobsmacked after viewing her husband's audition tape, which starkly contradicted how he'd been treating her.
In the footage, Tim professed his desire for a "typical happy ending" with a "natural person". He also insisted that he'd be open to "give it a go" with someone, regardless of immediate attraction.
"That was full of lies. That was just complete and utter bulls***. He's got some answering to do," Katie said through tears, before flinging her wedding ring across the table.
The scene also riled up MAFS fans, who flocked to X (formerly Twitter) to vent their frustrations, with one posting: "Oh no, that just made things so much worse for Katie."
Another viewer said: "Tim tells people what they want to hear to save face. His words and actions have not lined up," while another chimed in: "That interview video backfired on Tim."
A fourth fan didn't hold back, saying: "TIM HAS BEEN EXPOSED AS THE LIAR HE IS. Thank you producers for showing the audition clip of him for the naysayers."
Married at First Sight Australia airs Monday to Thursday on E4 at 7.30pm
