Mamamia recap MAFS: Katie and Tim's final showdown.

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

We made it! We got to the first commitment ceremony on Married at First Sight. Phew. It was touch and go for a minute there.

This is the blessed weekly smackdown of all the contestants (namely, the bad men) by our experts, John, Mel, and Alessandra.

Ahead of the first commitment ceremony, Jacqui and Ryan are arguing about arguing. Meanwhile, Sierah and Billy are preparing to destroy Jake over his photo-ranking comments, as Ash tells Jake that she relayed the info to the couple.

"That's fine! All good!" he tells Ash to her face. "She broke my trust," he says behind her back. Alrighty!

Umm, Jake… that was you. Image: Nine.

Katie is getting ready and is befittingly wearing a giant crocodile necklace so she can tell Nice Tim to "see you later, alligator" at the commitment ceremony.

Katie admits she hasn't heard from her husband since the dinner party, as we see her write 'Leave' on her card. Yes, diva. Dump him.

The ceremony starts and Nice Tim rolls in at the last minute.

The room is shaken. "The gall, the gall!" Jamie comments. The gall, indeed.

'Chomp chomp! What's for dinner!!' Image: Nine.

The producers made us sit through an hour of the other brides and grooms first, before delivering the ultimate showdown between Katie and Tim. But I'm not going to do that to you.

I'm starting at the end: it's time to talk about Katie and Nice Tim aka what we've suffered through an hour of television for. She fills in the experts on exactly what Nice Tim put her through. Spill it, sis.

"He didn't get what he ordered and he's been running back to Melbourne ever since," she tells them, before relaying how he wanted a 'petite blonde or brunette.'

As he tries to cut in, she says "I'm not done talking." Yesss, get him.

In response, Nice Tim drops the biggest bombshell of the season: on their honeymoon, Katie was reading emails!

Emails?? Emails!! Not on my watch!

'Just kidding, I blocked you.' Image: Nine.

Daddy John ain't having any of this, telling him that his behaviour at the dinner party was 'gaslighting 101.'

"When you sat there and talked at her it was gaslighting 101," John tells him. "You deflected, you blamed her for everything, you said she broke your trust, you said you were the most honest of the two of you, and ultimately you made her feel like she was going crazy.

"The thing that broke my heart completely was hearing Katie go on to blame herself for the downfall of the relationship. Tim, this is a crossroads for you. You will either keep doing this gaslighting… or you will sit here tonight and say 'I'm going to do better'."

Nice Tim shirks the blame, replying "There's a lot on me" and doesn't understand why Katie hasn't copped it.

Trust me, there is no helping this man.

He votes to leave an experiment he was never in and Katie votes to never see or speak to this human again. The group rallies around Katie.

KATIE IS EMANCIPATED.

BE FREE, ANGEL.

FLY FLY FLY.

She's got the prerogative to have a little fun. Image: Nine.

Well. That might have been the end of the episode but it's certainly not the end of my recap. Strap in, because there were seven other couples to get through.

Carina and Frenchie were first on the couch. They're happy and having THE SEX. Great. Fab. BORING. Let's keep it moving.

Rhi and Jeff are the gift that keeps on giving. Giving nothing! They haven't had sex, well since they already had sex when they dated. But they have kissed. Wow. Incredible.

In much more interesting areas, Ash tells the experts about Jake's "insensitive" words during the photo-ranking task.

Jake explains that his 'mouth goes before his brain' and he was 'making jokes and stuff.'

Mother is mothering. Image: Nine.

British Billy pipes up to say that his comments about Sierah weren't a joke and accuses him of being "disrespectful to women."

Mother Mel demands to know what else was said, so Ash drops the 'not racist but also very racist' comment he said about Awhina.

Jake mumbles some excuse and Mel says it's a 'cop out'. He apologises with the sincerity of a bag of hair.

'You can keep your faux-pology and your fish vest!' Image: Nine.

Despite everything, Ash chooses to stay but it is JAKE who votes to leave because she 'broke his trust.'

She calls him out for lying about how he felt. I can't stand this man. Loser energy.

The couple holding this sh*tshow together, Jamie and Hot Dave, are next. They're perfect. They're staying. No notes. Obsessed.

'Do you mind, babes?' Image: Nine.

But watch your back Damie (Jave?? Jot Javie??) because Sierah and British Billy are set to battle for your crown as the most beloved couple. They're thriving. Love them.

Next up, Ryan grills the experts for 'ignoring' what asked for in a partner. When asked what he's on about, Ryan complains Jacqui can't cook.

When Daddy John presses the couple to go deeper on their relo, Jacqui says that Ryan won't turn down the air conditioner.

A deeply unserious couple, and Jacqui knows it. As Ryan waffles nonsense, she bursts out laughing. I mean, same gurl.

Miss New Zealand always remembers!! Image: Nine.

She explains she has to 'dissociate' when he talks. As the rest of the couples share doubts over their connection, Ryan assures them they have bonded over cryptocurrency.

Daddy John is like 'you two are literal nightmares, we didn't know what to do with either of you. Have fun!'

From one disaster to another, Tony forgets his wife's name. Morena then complains he doesn't communicate, as she repeatedly prevents him from speaking.

They both vote to stay for an unknown reason.

'But wait, is this a TV show??' Image: Nine.

Awhina shares her concerns with Adrian not wanting to be with a woman with a child. He speaks warmly about Awhina to the experts and we have literally never met this man before.

WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH THAT GRUMPY TODDLER MAN WHO CAN'T GET THROUGH A SENTENCE WITHOUT YELLING?

Everyone buys his BS hook, line and sinker. Gross.

And that, of course, led us to Katie and Tim. Our first couple to exit the experiment, it's fair to say there are a few more who should 100% follow suit as soon as possible. You people are simply not compatible.
