Welcome back to my MAFS weekly column!<\/p>\n

Well, haven\u2019t things heated up a tad over the last week of Married at First Sight UK? Six out of the nine brides were unhappy with their matches. I\u2019m not sure whether we\u2019re going to see more Julia-Ruth walk-outs by the end of the series or hear more self-penned songs (currently 3:4 on the tally, by the way). I needed half an hour to stare at a wall after last night\u2019s explosive dinner party.<\/p>\n

Where else to start than with the storyline of the week? I\u2019m trying to see past the edited faces Sarah pulls, knowing she\u2019s uncomfortable and disappointed in her experience. It\u2019s difficult seeing fireworks around that table while you\u2019re imagining going home, head hanging in shame after just one week and zero snogs.<\/p>\n

Sarah\u2019s disrespect and lack of willingness to get to know Dean went over the line. \u201cI need to understand why the experts matched us, because you\u2019re not what I asked for\u201d is a quote I heard a few times during that first dinner party.<\/p>\n

It hurts, and no one deserves that. It\u2019s great to see the room backing Dean, and putting a mirror up to her unkind words, kudos to Davide! I genuinely hope that if they stay another week, Sarah relaxes and learns for the public to witness because the backlash (and body-shaming back) has also been over the line.<\/p>\n

There are a few couples with real legs developing (or abs in the case of Bec- phwoar!). Maeve and Joe are cute as a button, and I\u2019m totally team Kevide and team Grashley.<\/p>\n

Of course, I\u2019m rooting for the people\u2019s princess, Nelly, and if Stephen breaks her heart, the nation won\u2019t have it. There\u2019s something telling me it\u2019s not going to be sunshine and daisies for these two. Maybe it\u2019s an ex spilling tea online about him?<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a debate about whether the cast should have access to social media at all to avoid leaks of the show. This is their time to shine, I say.<\/p>\n

I used to love putting my daily pictures up and choosing my backing track. They\u2019ve waited nine months for this! I\u2019m trying to stay out of the gossip, but I’ve even heard some stories about a groom or two\u2026 I may or may not reveal more; you\u2019ll just have to keep reading!<\/p>\n

I\u2019m now firmly in a habit of sending late-night voice notes to half the cast for their thoughts and trying to be friends.<\/p>\n

Yes, I\u2019m that beg from the previous seasons but I don\u2019t care! I think the group are fantastic, I don\u2019t get creeped out by any of the boys which is a green flag, and the fact I\u2019ve had now two parents DM me with pride or concern shows they\u2019re from solid foundations too.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re being treated to two dinner parties this week and a commitment ceremony tonight, and I fear Anita and Paul may leave. Let\u2019s hope he takes his post-it to remember to ask how she\u2019s feeling. I\u2019m off to do some sit ups in hopes of getting abs like Rebecca by Christmas.<\/p>\n
