Mafs Australia viewers slam bride for ‘disrespecting’ new groom as she makes sensational return to the show
MARRIED AT First Sight Australia fans have hit out at Lauren Hall as she returned to the E4 show tonight.
Lauren – who had an unlucky start with husband Eliot Donovan, before he quit the process – was back for a second chance at love.
She walked down the aisle, but this time to former golfer Clint.
After meeting each other for the first time, Lauren admitted she was close to cancelling.
She struggled to crack a smile as he read out his vows and described them as “too long”.
Before arriving at the ceremony, Lauren told the camera: “Eliot’s vows were all lovely and great but none of it was actually true.”
Clint then confessed to Lauren during his vows that he has two kids.
But a stony-faced Lauren replied: “What kind of breeds are they?,” referring to his pet dogs.
He laughed and said: “I’ve got two samoyeds.”
An unhappy Lauren said: “The vows were very very long.”
She added to the camera after the ceremony: “It was hard to make eye contact, it was very very awkward.
“I felt bad for him, I do have a resting b**** face.”
Some fans thought Lauren was being “disrespectful” to her new groom.
One wrote: ” Lauren you’re such a cow. This is his first time have a little respect!”
A second posted: “Lauren, don’t take what happened the first time around out on Clint. Please.”
Another added: ” Why is Lauren projecting her bad time with Elliot onto Clint!!!! so disrespectful.”
Married At First Sight‘s most controversial groom Eliot‘s relationship with Lauren never got off to the strongest of starts.
He threatened to walk out on his brunette bride, 37, on their wedding day, while also being left annoyed at her sister Tamara’s explosive conduct.
Even before the I Do moment Eliot, 35, had caused a stir as he told experts he didn’t want a “judgmental control freak” or a woman who indulged in “crass behaviour.”
Yet after not feeling the partnership, he quit the show in a fiery outburst, claiming he wanted a bride “under 30.”
Eliot also returned tonight as he tied the knot with personal trainer Veronica.
Viewers, who previously hailed him a “walking red flag” after quitting two days into married life, are annoyed his brutal conduct has secured him more airtime.
In a new Reddit thread, both Eliot and Lauren’s return as “intruder” bride and grooms is revealed.
In a separate Instagram post, salon owner Beth, golfer Clint, business manager Teejay and PT Veronica are also revealed.
The caption read: “Introducing (and reintroducing) the rest of this year’s #MAFSAU brides and grooms!”
One fan kicked off the fury at Eliot’s return and wrote on Reddit: “Did anyone see the MAFS aus advert for next week??”
A second said: “Ugh why are they rewarding Eliot for throwing a tantrum.”
Another put: “Drama loving me can’t wait, but moral me hates that they value jerks like Eliot with guaranteed car crashes over genuine people like Katie with chances of success.
“Guy made it clear he had no respect for the process before it even began.”
Another warned: “Just keep at it, it gets worse!”
Yet one seemed supportive and put: “Makes sense!
“Both of them had a lot of screen time to have then just leave immediately.”
CALLED OUT
Earlier in his MAFS Aus journey, business owner Eliot from Queensland was seen packing his bags and storming out just hours after meeting his new bride.
During the explosive scenes, he fumed: “There were definitely things on my non-negotiables, right?”
“I wanted someone that was younger than me, preferably someone under 30.”
He went on to take aim at his new wife’s style, branding her “superficial” after spotting her love for designer bags.
He said: “There’s some superficiality there, you know, I’m not into like luxury luggage,” ignoring the fact he rocked up to the wedding in a fancy tailored suit.
