Mamamia recaps MAFS: The moment our hero fell from her pedestal.

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

Greetings, gentle readers. It's time to dust off the champagne flutes and arrange a tasteful collection of cheeses on a wooden board shaped like an old shoe, because another dinner party is upon us on Married at First Sight.

That's right, that hellfire couples' retreat is over! But wait, we are still in hell because Awhina is suddenly smitten with Adrian. I HATE IT HERE.

Jamie is still hurt by Carina and Rhi, not standing up for her against Lauren.

Meanwhile, Lauren and Clint have decided to 'boycott' the dinner party, instead having their own private meal. "I have no desire to be in a room with that little troll ever again," Lauren says, referring to Jamie. Not very nice!

Clint thinks they're getting along great. Lauren is plotting his demise.

Take the hint, Clint!! Image: Nine.

At the dinner party, the experts learn about the divide between the women. Jacqui and Ryan are in 'the best place they've been so far'. Have you heard this before? Jacqui says it about three times every episode.

Beth has an axe to grind with Ryan after he called her 'classless' during an argument. He apologised to Teejay for it, but the small problem with that is that… Teejay actually isn't the spokesperson for Beth.

She calls Ryan out and in response, he just says a bunch of confusing nonsense. Beth stared at him blankly until he apologised.

'Join MAFS, they said. It would be fun, they said.' Image: Nine.

Rhi and Carina regroup on the feud, agreeing they don't love Jamie's communication style but agree with her points.

Hot Dave and Jamie arrive and the vibes are awkies. "They're like 'Hi! Hi!' Where is my apology?" Jamie fumes to camera.

Look, I've got to be real here about Jamie's grudge against the girls: being friends with someone shouldn't mean you will be blindly loyal to them, which is an expectation Jamie seems to have in her approach to friendship.

While I don't agree with most of what Lauren says, and found it offensive how Clint spoke to Jamie, the feud began night one, when Awhina, Jamie and Beth very much ganged up on Lauren.

This was behaviour that Carina and Rhi were entitled to call out, even if they didn't agree with Lauren's comments.

Back at dinner, the contestants realise that Lauren and Clint have ditched them. Back at their apartment, the couple are making fun of Jamie over a plate of UberEats.

Jamie pipes up at the dinner table to ask Jeff (why Jeff, of all people??) "Where is your mate?", referring to Lauren.

As she accuses Rhi of defending Lauren, Carina adds they were 'defending everyone' and Jamie disagrees, saying they didn't defend her.

Not enough was said about Carina's stunning fit tonight tbh. Image: Nine.

Jamie tells the group that Lauren 'slated the whole house', but Carina finally stands up for herself, replying 'She didn't'.

Carina says that Lauren was 'ambushed' and 'it was like mean girls.' I do see her point, but Jamie doesn't.

Awhina asks who are the 'mean girls', and Carina evades the answer but recalls how multiple women were hammering Lauren with questions.

Jamie then takes quite a nasty turn. She blows up and says Carina is 'illogical' and she is 'speaking stupidity', a sentiment she repeats throughout the night.

'Either you're sorry or you're stupid, okay!' Image: Nine.

Carina then drops the funniest line of the night. "I AM AN EMPATH," she shouts, a statement typically reserved for the worst people I know, but for Carina, I'll make an exception.

Hot Dave pipes up to defend Jamie, who continues to badger Carina for an apology.

I've got to say something here: I don't have a problem with how fiery Jamie is, how loud she is when she speaks, or her perceived 'aggressiveness'. These are qualities often used against strong, assertive women. But my issue lies in Jamie attacking Carina's intelligence to prove her own. This reads as hypocritical, as it was Lauren's attacks on the other women as 'boring bogans' which started all this.

Jamie then says something VERY CURIOUS to Carina about Lauren: "You can apologise. I'm here until the end, she ain't. She's gone. You've backed a losing horse."

The experts even call out Jamie's stubborn and patronising response to everything Carina says.

This villain is sustained by 50% revenge and 50% coconut water. Image: Nine.

It's also worth remembering this: considering what Carina has been through the past week, it might be time for Jamie to offer her some grace in this moment.

Of course, Carina is not completely innocent. If she does consider Jamie a friend, she should have at least called out Clint for berating Jamie, but at the same time, she's not being given any space to speak to share her side.

Veronica suddenly jumps in to say: "Jamie, you are extremely aggressive in your way of communicating." In response, Jamie points at her and says "Shut your mouth!"

Things then get a little vengeful.

'VERONICAAAAA!" she screams, for no clear reason. Jamie then claims she has 'slagged off' Eliot to Lauren.

MAFS then plays a flashback scene with Lauren to try to make Veronica look bad, but she didn't really say anything bad about Eliot?? It doesn't make sense.

She hasn't been this confused since Eliot's sister had diabetes. Image: Nine.

"We have had a conversation," Veronica confirms about her secret meeting with Lauren.

Eliot is upset that Veronica went to someone who is 'actively disparaging' him. In a confessional, he says he feels betrayed.

To make the evening even worse, Awhina tells the group that she's happy she chose to stay with Adrian.

This couple is so infuriating. I can't even talk about them.

Rhi is sitting silently, feeling uncomfortable about the tension at the table, when Jamie again starts demanding an apology. Oh cool, this again.

'All roads lead back to Jacqui!' Image: Nine.

Rhi clarifies that she never agreed with Lauren's behaviour and told her off privately.

Jamie says she should have done it in a group setting. Yes, sir, Jamie sir!!! Yikes.

Rhi eventually apologises but it feels like she was forced into it. "Bingo, thank you," Jamie says.

Jamie says that she's proud of Rhi's approach and again, calls Carina stupid and a 'waste of time'.

Hmm. This isn't friendship. This isn't nice.

Carina walks off and sobs. "I feel like I'm not smart enough," she cries to a producer. "I feel like I'm stupid."

Jamie has 'no regrets' about her behaviour.

This is an awful watch.

Okay, neither of these women are perfect, but it will be nice for Jamie to hear the experts' take on this argument, because I really need her to revert to the old Jamie we know and love.

I don't want her to be the villain, but right now, she is far from the hero.
