Nine TV Report
Married at First Sight
Nine’s evening began with the shockwaves from the Commitment Ceremony on Married at First Sight.
Cassandra and Tristan both woke up more confused than ever after Cassandra wrote leave and Tristan chose to stay. They are unsure where to go from here.
After Jack’s bad behaviours were reeled off by the Experts, Tori is also waking up unsure if she can continue to stand by Jack and has lost confidence in the relationship.
Meanwhile, Sara and Tim are still in a state of disrepair. Sara left Tim alone in the apartment for the morning, and he’s taken the opportunity to write down his thoughts to share. When Sara arrives, Tim delivers a raw and heartfelt explanation of his feelings, which very much lands with Sara.
The next phase of the experiment is Feedback Week as across several days, the couples will participate in a series of tasks designed to help them identify issues in their relationships that can be corrected before the experiment comes to an end.
The first Feedback Week task is the hard-hitting questions task.
Lauren and Jono hit Tori and Jack with tough questions as Jack is unflappable, and despite Lauren’s best efforts to unsettle him, he doesn’t come unstuck.
To her frustration, he answers her questions without flinching, and when questioned about having kids with Tori, he responds stating he’d like to have kids within two years. Lauren doesn’t believe his answer and hopes Tori isn’t buying it. But Tori – while initially taken aback – turns out to be delighted; he’s said the right thing, and after the drama of the weekend it’s exactly what she wanted to hear.
Jayden and Eden asked the hard-hitting questions to Sara and Tim, with the encounter being tense. While Sara does her best to answer Jayden’s questions, things intensify when Sara admits to deleting text messages she exchanged with her ex. Sara says she deleted the messages because she didn’t want to hurt Tim, but Tim is plunged back into doubt just as the pair were getting back on their feet.
Jayden continues to push Sara and Sara is left feeling attacked and alone. She storms out down the hall as the episode ends.
