Married at First Sight
Nine’s evening began with an early wake up for one couple on Married at First Sight.
Lauren must unexpectedly temporarily leave the experiment. She’s sad to miss out on a week with her husband Jonathan, and he’s not sure how he’s going to handle being all alone.
Meanwhile, as Feedback Week continues, Cassandra and Tristan are writing a feedback letter to Jade and Ridge. They think Ridge needs to grow up, so they have treated “Jade Day” where he must do all the chores and cooking and Jade can put her feet up. He cleans the bathroom for the first time ever and makes Jade tuna and rice.
Timothy and Lucinda provide disconnected couple Andrea and Richard with a task; to relive their wedding vows and first dance, in the hopes of reviving their lost spark. As Andrea and Richard re-do their wedding day, they’re taken back to their perfect first moment.
Sara is doing her best to win back Tim’s trust with a picnic by the harbour and lists all the things she likes about Tim. He admits to Sara he wanted to see her fight for him and is feeling the warmth.
Next, the Experts have paired up Ridge with Andrea to give a fresh perspective on her relationship. He tells Andrea she wears the pants in the relationship. Andrea finds Ridge’s perspective unsettling and now feels like she’s questioning everything. When Andrea relays their conversation to Richard, things become tense as he says there is some truth to this claim, and she’s putting walls up as an excuse for something else. Richard wants Andrea to admit that she’s not into him anymore and Andrea feels unheard.
