Fans call out the ‘manipulator’ behind all the MAFS drama

Fans are over fighting "fire with fire"

At the fifth MAFS dinner party of the season on March 11, an old feud erupts. From calling out Juliette’s unnecessary “language” towards Bec to “fake” apologies, the episode ended on a cliff-hanger, as Gia revealed she was sitting on some pretty damning evidence.

As fans are on the edge of their seats for the Commitment Ceremony on Sunday, one question keeps coming to the surface: why has everything become a “competition”?

Rather than focusing on finding love in their relationships, it seems the drama of bride-to-bride brawls has taken centre stage, and fans are pretty much fed up.

Gia ‘left Juliette out to dry’

Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) for Gia, she is back in the spotlight, after laying low and claiming she’s a “girls girl” as the feud between Bec and Rachel was unleashed at the couples retreat.

However, after seeing Gia stir the pot with Juliette, making the couples retreat drama last longer than it needed to, fans were surprised to see Gia’s silence as Juliette took the heat at the dinner party.

“Juliette realised that she was manipulated by Gia,” one viewer observed. “When will these grown women learn that Gia isn’t a friend to anyone!?”

“Gia fully left Juliette out to dry,” one user commented.

Although it does look like Gia and Juliette are still friends, especially since Gia confided in Juliette and Chris about some “receipts” she has that don’t show Bec in a good light.

Fans are over the ‘competition’ culture in MAFS

While everyone is itching to see how damning Gia’s evidence really is (and if she even has these “receipts” that she claims), fans are fed up with the “competition” that MAFS has become.

Rather than focusing on their relationships and love, contestants are getting sucked into drama that doesn’t concern them, as Rachel pointed out to Juliette at the dinner party.

“Everything is a competition,” one user commented.

“Truly the season of storm outs, I’m Dones, Fake B—–s and receipts,” another user joked.

To be fair, this is very MAFS, and unfortunately for those looking for relationship advice, good communication and mature behaviour does not make for good reality tv. So, perhaps MAFS has become (or always was meant to be) more of a “competition” than an “experiment.”

Either way, fans are seeing through each and every contestants, and are suited up for what’s to come.
