Mamamia recaps MAFS: Who is this man?

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

I hope y'all are hungry because it's dinner party time on Married at First Sight and female rage is on the menu.

Awhina is ready to go to war with Carina over the nasty comment she made about her sister, Cleo (albeit in the privacy of a confidential conversation with her partner).

In a confessional, Carina expresses regret over the comment, saying it came from a place of jealousy and insecurity. But she adds that Paul should have been a 'safe' person to confide in. Hard agree!

That said, she's acting totally normal to Paul's face which I don't understand.

The vibes between Jamie and Dave are bad! They haven't been speaking and even though Jamie tries to resolve things, Dave weirdly wants to save the discussion for the dinner party. Bit suss!

Put your hands up if you were victimised by Dave this episode? Image: Nine.

He's super cold with her and tells her his 'feelings are not there' in the cruellest, most unfeeling way. In a confessional, he actually says 'ugh, well I don't hate her', as if that explains his bizarre change of heart.

I HATE THIS VERSION OF DAVE.

She rightly tells him the way he's speaking to her is 'brutal' and without any emotion. He just keeps dismissing her and saying 'Oh well, that's how I feel,' as if that gives him permission to deliver his words without any concern for her.

Jamie kicks him out and bursts into tears. "Who is that person? He just didn't even care," she sobs, as she struggles to catch her breath. It's very upsetting!

The experts are shocked to see Jamie arrive alone. She yammers to herself like she's recently divorced and considering buying a ticket for a 90-day cruise.

Jamie is all of us! Image: Nine.

As a few more file in, Jamie tells the group that she's realised Dave doesn't initiate sex, physical touch or any sort of romantic gestures with her.

She thinks their whole relationship has been fake.

The group and experts agree that Dave has never expressed any doubts about Jamie on the couch.

Even Jeff is confused, as he says he considered Dave his bestie, yet he has never said he didn't have growing feelings for Jamie. THIS IS INTERESTING. Why don't men talk to each other about their feelings??

Jamie is crying again and you know what? SO AM I.

I bet Jamie's tears would make a delicious smoothie. Image: Nine.

She yanks off her wedding ring and clanks it down on a table.

Teejay is especially furious for Jamie and it makes sense: they used to date, which is information that we aren't supposed to know but would literally explain so much.

Dave arrives and awkwardly greets Jamie. With the boys, he again bizarrely states 'I don't hate the girl.'

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?

THE GIRL.

YOU DON'T HATE THE GIRL.

That 'girl' is your wife, the woman you've spent months sharing a life and bed with. Gross.

Who is this person??? Image: Nine.

Carina arrives as an extra from Dune as she prepares for some sort of wormy sand battle (I've never seen this movie).

Eliot and Veronica rock up separately after they had that huge fight over, ummm… I'm really not sure.

In some much needed reprieve, Jacqui has decided at dinner that she and Ryan are the strongest couple in the experiment. She goes as far as to say they are 'role models' for everyone.

In other news: Jacqui is still delusional. I wouldn't have it any other way!

Back to Jamie and Dave, she tells the group he 'doesn't show up romantically' for her and relays their awkward apartment chat. Dave gives her nothing.

Dave is questioned by producers why he's so 'closed off' right now. He's acting so weird!

I can't believe I'm saying this but Jeff is literally the only decent man left on the show. VIVA LA JEFF!

Jeff is just as suprised as the rest of us! Image: Nine.

Dave claims that he's been open with the experts that his 'feelings aren't progressing' for Jamie. Umm, when sir?

Jamie cries as she tells him he should have said something earlier before they were so deep into the experiment.

Dave starts swearing at Adrian when he's questioned about why he took so long to admit his true feelings.

Am I on Adrian's side? Do we like Adrian now? The world is upside down!!

THIS IS A CRISIS. Image: Nine.

Adrian questions whether spending time with Veronica is what triggered Dave's change. He denies that Veronica is more his type than Jamie.

Dave feels like too many people are coming at him. Sorry dude, but coming from the man who has never shut up any of these dinner parties, enjoy a taste of your own medicine.

Dave suddenly backtracks, saying he has 'hope' for him and Jamie. He finally turns to Jamie and says 'you are so special to me' and admits he's handled himself 'badly'.

I ain't buying any of it, buddy.

'That's totally my bad!' Image: Nine.

Jamie says that Dave needs to prove himself to her. I don't know how they're going to move past this. I don't have a good feeling.

Elsewhere in the episode, Carina pulls Awhina and Paul to the side to take 'full accountability' for what she said about Cleo.

Awhina tells Paul to bugger off and I can see what she's doing: she wants Carina to have to face her alone. They get over their beef quickly, but Carina turns her aim back to Paul.

His reply? Paul patronises Carina: he shirks any responsibility and tries to morally grandstand her.

"You threw me under the bus with Awhina's sister. Are you going to take accountability, Paul?" she rightly asks.

THE ANSWER IS ABSOLUTELY NOT.

'Just call me Paul, the twin defender!' Image: Nine.

He will not acknowledge what he's obviously done wrong. "That's not on me, it's on you, it's not my fault that you're insecure," this man actually says.

OH MY GOD. THE GASP I JUST GUSPED.

Paul cannot admit that telling Awhina (of all people!) was a breach of their confidentiality. They argue in circles. Paul is the worst!

Thankfully, Paul is set to be held accountable by the experts on Sunday's commitment ceremony. He needs it, as does dodgy Dave!

THANK THE LORD FOR JEFF, RIGHT? THE ONLY GOOD MAN.

THE GLUE HOLDING THIS SH*TSHOW TOGETHER.

If you told me this would be opinion at the start of the season, I'd never believe you. You cheeky vixen MAFS, constantly keeping me on my toes!
