Apparently we didn’t get to see all of the drama from the first Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2025 Couples Retreat episode. While it was still an eventful episode, bride Jacqueline Burfoot claimed on Instagram that the editing “was WILD”.
ICYMI, there were a few major storylines during last night’s episode. The strangest one by far was Ryan Donnelly abstaining from sex because he wanted to save his testosterone for the gym, which the group riled him up about.
Jacqui claims that his behaviour was “GROSS ASF” during the group conversation, and says it was highly edited.
“Ryan and I’s conversation tonight was shocking. In reality, he went on and on and on again for 10 minutes,” she wrote on Instagram.
“I think they added my words from [my] voxy into our conversation because my voice DOES NOT match my lips at all. I just said okay for about 10 minutes… then Dave started telling Ryan to stop shutting me down and let me speak. Ryan literally put his arms in front of me to shut me up. It was GROSS ASF. Everyone saw it at [the] reunion.”
Clint was the one who wanted to leave the MAFS Couples Retreat
According to Jacqui — who is rumoured to be dating Clint Rice now — it wasn’t just Lauren Hall who wanted to leave the MAFS Couples Retreat. While she may have thought everyone was a “loser” and “boganic”, her husband Clint also wanted to escape.
“Clint’s conversation was highly edited. HE WAS THE ONE WHO WANTED TO LEAVE. Promise,” Jacqui spilled.
“The group just went off on their own narrative to start drama.”
The explosive Couples’ Retreat fight cut from the episode
An inside source recently told Chattr that there were two massive fights that happened at the Couples Retreat. The first took place at Girls Night, between Lauren and Jamie Marinos.
While the storyline that played out on TV finished after Lauren left Girls Night, the insider said she actually came back which is when the “massive argument” took place.
“Jamie, at one point, launches up out of her seat to yell at Lauren. It was getting out of hand and almost became a physical fight. One cast member even thought Jamie might throw a punch at Lauren, but it didn’t get that far,” the insider said.
Jacqui confirmed this in her Instagram Story, saying: “They cut out the second half of Girls Night — the part where a fight erupted… it’s WILD.”
We’ll still get to see an epic showdown happen between Lauren and Jamie, as the second Couples Retreat fight was in the promo for tonight’s episode.
Our insider told Chattr that “the boys get involved” and we see Dave Hand and Jamie “yelling at Lauren and Clint”.
“Plus, Jamie then calls out Carina [Mirable] and Rhi [Disljenkovic], because they were standing up for Lauren.”
It’s going to be a fiery episode, that’s for sure!
Married At First Sight 2025 airs Sundays at 7pm and Monday – Wednesday at 7:30pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
