Nine
Nine’s A Current Affair spoke to English woman Mary Ellis, 74, who is known as a local hero in northern New South Wales. Mary not only feeds the homeless in Tweed Heads but also raises money for the Salvation Army. Now, despite giving much of her time to help Australians, thanks to an issue with her visa, the government wants to kick her out.
Then it was the start of Intimacy Week on Married at First Sight. Timothy and Lucinda were at odds over Richard’s comments at the Commitment Ceremony before Lucinda’s endless prodding caused Timothy to storm out. After taking some space, he returns later during the night and the two make amends.
Meanwhile, Natalie and Collins wake up in separate apartments before Collins visits Natalie to prove to her that he is willing to fight for their relationship. However, Natalie calls his speech “Oscar-worthy” before saying she’s ready to leave the experiment. After saying one final awkward goodbye to him she packs her bags and leaves.
Elsewhere, Richard confesses to Andrea that he adores her, Alessandra intervenes during Timothy and Lucinda’s tasks and Lauren and Jonathan attempt to complete the eye-gazing task with disastrous consequences.

Then, it was time for Australian Survivor where after Viola was blindsided by the OG Titans on Sunday, Mark was out for revenge. A covert chat with Alex revealed that he wanted to make a move on Caroline and Kitty by working with the OG Rebels to take Kitty out. Then, a high-intensity Immunity Challenge showed logic triumph over strength, and the Titans took home the win, sending the Rebels to the Tribal council yet again.
At Tribal Council, Mark played nice with the OG Titans, saying a blindside didn’t have to change the dynamic of the tribe. As Rianna explained that she wanted to be here with people she trusts, Sarah and Alex wonder whether she has changed her mind about the plan.
