Mamamia recaps MAFS: Well... that was disturbing.

Keen for all the latest Married At First Sight gossip? Keep an eye on our MAFS hub here.

Hello! I'm feeling a little unstable because our Married at First Sight narrator just announced we are only at the 'halfway point of the experiment.'

Sorry? Are they actually going to drag this on for 20 more episodes of MAFS?? Alrighty then! Strap in!

But wait, something quite serious is happening. Carina and Paul have moved into separate apartments. She shares that after she mentioned she had slept with a famous rapper on a night out, Paul reacted violently when they got back to their apartment.

"He got really angry and punched the wall," she said.

"I don't condone his behaviour. It's not something I want to put up with."

It's all very… worrying. Paul returns to their apartment where, at first, he apologises repeatedly and cries but then his tone shifts.

He goes on to blame Carina for not giving him space in the moment, even calling her actions 'disrespectful'.

Not today, Frenchie. Not today. Image: Nine.

Oh wow, we're still doing this.

'If you didn't say what you said, I wouldn't have responded like that.'

'You provoked me.'

'Why did you make me react like that?'

Paul, grow up. You are in charge of your own actions and it is never acceptable to react violently. It's equally worrying that all this came about because Carina simply admitted to sleeping with another man, something she shouldn't be shamed for.

The whole scene felt icky.

In lighter news, Jacqui is still furious with Rhi for her, ummm 'crime against humanity' aka bringing up to the group that she texted Jeff.

"Her assumptions are getting in the way of truth and justice," she says. I'm sorry but I love this ridiculous person.

They arrive first?? Are they the strongest couple now?? Wow, how the fallen have mightied.

Two couples who shouldn't even be in this experiment, let alone going to a dinner party, are Awhina and Adrian, along with Morena and Tony.

Shoutout to Lauren for single-handedly reviving the Bump-It, one Mad Men hairstyle at a time.

That's why her hair is so big, it's full of sexism. Image: Nine.

Eliot visits Veronica to patch up their relationship before the dinner party. Her response is ice-cold, demanding an apology from him.

He's confused. I'm confused.

I… don't really know what he should apologise for.

As Rhi (and Jeff, remember him?) arrives, Jacqui greets her warmly.

Jokes! She ignored her existence.

Ryan is just happy to be there! Image: Nine.

Eliot walks into the cocktail party sheepishly. In contrast, Adrian smugly walks in, sneering "I lost my wife," before telling a VERY warped version of what happened at their family's lunch.

Awhina listens along to his lies then calls him out. He tells her he won't speak about the incident other than that time 0.04 seconds earlier when he told everyone about the incident.

The experts notice a shift in Awhina's demeanour: our girl won't tolerate this man's BS anymore.

BURN HIM TO THE GROUND. Image: Nine.

At the last minute, Carina and Paul arrive to tell the dinner party what happened. "I lost control and threw a punch in the bedroom door," he says.

The experts are rightly horrified. "This is something that can never happen again," expert John says.

"There's nothing acceptable about that behaviour."

Intentionally or not, Carina came as a walking red flag.

Pay attention, Paul. Image: Nine.

Hot Dave says that he feels 'let down' by Paul's behaviour. To be clear, every man in that room should be saying this to him.

Awhina tells the group what happened at their lunch-from-hell. Everything she says is correct. Everything Adrian says is lies.

Jamie asks him "How have you showed up for her?" Adrian replies, he umm… asked her to go for a walk.

This! Man!

'Cool story, bro.' Image: Nine.

But THEY DID go to Nandos.

Jamie straight-up mocks him. "If your siblings reckon this is the most you've shown up… you must have just been breathing in your other relationships."

The whole table is basically giggling at him.

THIS IS SO MUCH FUN. WE ARE LAUGHING.

LAUGH AT THE SILLY MAN. LAUGH!

'Okay Adrian, let's put you to bed…' Image: Nine.

Morena and Tony continue to torture the group, as she tells the group about his non-existent baby plans.

He straight-up tells her he hates her personality. That'll do it!

Veronica tells the group about how angry she is that, umm Eliot's shared his trauma around her sister's diabetes diagnosis. The rest of the group are just as confused as me.

"What was your pain?" she snipes.

"My sister falling into a coma? Grappling with the illness her whole life??"

Jamie calls her out. Girlie, give it a rest.

Make a point? Any point? Image: Nine.

And finally, it's The Jacqui Show. She tearfully announces to the whole dinner table that she felt 'humiliated', 'disrespected' and 'discredited' by Rhi bringing up the texting saga at the commitment ceremony.

She takes back ever apologising for texting Jeff.

I LOVE JACQUI.

I BELIEVE IN WOMEN'S RIGHTS AND WOMEN'S WRONGS.

In response, Rhi says "external drama has brought heaviness on our relationship." Lol what.

I'm sorry, but she's just a lot less fun to watch than Jacqui. Rhi sorta apologises and their feud fizzles out.

On Sunday's episode, perfect Clint is no longer perfect Clint, and Paul is held accountable by the experts.

MAFS men, keep being the worst! You make it looks so easy!
