Tonight’s Married at First Sight Australia saw one controversial couple quit the experiment and leave without saying goodbye.
Last week, bride Lauren was at the centre of a row after she branded her fellow couples “absolute feral people” and “bogans”.
Following last week’s explosive dinner party, which Lauren and Clint failed to attend, the couple turned up to the commitment ceremony late.
When the other couples questioned Lauren and Clint, Lauren said they should’ve brought “zoo feeding pallets to keep them quiet”.
Describing the rest of the couples, Lauren said they are “boganic” and display “psycho behaviour” in social situations, which prompted a response from relationship expert John Aiken.

He said: “You talk as though you’re above them and they’re below you. Do you think you’re better than them?”
“I do feel like my behaviour is better,” Lauren replied.
Asked by John why the group has turned on her, Lauren said she has a “resting bitch face”, adding: “It’s really just the case that I am shy, I am very closed off to begin with.”

“I think you’re giving yourself a bit too much credit here, personality-wise,” relationship expert Mel Schilling said, adding: “There is a clear difference between being shy or being rude or being disrespectful.”
Calling Lauren passive aggressive and saying she looks down on the group, Mel said: “As a mature adult, one of your jobs is to take accountability for what you do and say.”
After Alessandra quizzed the couple on where their relationship was at, Clint said it felt more like a friendship and the couple both chose to ‘leave’ the experiment.
On her board, Lauren delivered one final blow, writing: “Leave-ing the zoo.”
John called her comments “sarcastic and condescending” and the couple exited the commitment ceremony immediately without saying goodbye to the other couples.

Meanwhile, Jamie and Carina made amends following their fight at the dinner party. After unpacking her behaviour, Jamie said: “I feel embarrassed and ashamed. I feel like I’ve let Dave down, like I’ve let myself down.”
She continued: “Because I just couldn’t process the hurt in a healthy way, it came out in a really nasty way towards other people.”
Turning to Carina, she said: “The things I did say to you were completely unacceptable, my behaviour was unacceptable. I’m sorry. How I spoke to you, how I conducted myself. I’m sorry I made you feel stupid, less than, unimportant or small.”
“That is my behaviour and I was wrong and I’m sorry,” she added and Carina accepted her apology.
