Opinion: Married At First Sight Australia has an awful toxic trend and it needs to stop

It wouldn’t be a season of Married at First Sight if there wasn’t a very average man body-shaming his attractive wife, and I’m so sick of it, it is actually making me feel sick – pass me the bucket.

Every season, a groom thinks he is a fitness guru because he goes to the gym and lifts weights while staring at himself in the mirror.

The poor man’s Dwayne Johnson than ends up body-shaming his wife.

In 2019 that honour went to groom Sam when he voiced that he’d never dated a girl as “big” as his new bride Elizabeth,

Later the series, he also said: “‘She’s got a beautiful face … Maybe I’ll get her running in the mornings… but she’ll be right. We’ll get her going.”

Why do the worst men always talk about women like they are cars?

Famously after her time on the show Elizabeth lost a significant amount of weight, and can you blame her? She was told she’d look better smaller, so she became smaller.

I personally think she looks gorgeous either way.

This season we’ve been treated to Dan, who has repeatedly expressed that he doesn’t like that his wife Sandy likes hanging out on the lounge.

She has refrained from commenting that he dresses like a desperate divorced dad who just discovered singlet shirts.

He isn’t as direct as Sam, but he is still hyper critical of Sandy.

During a recent argument, he told her: “Sandy, if I spent that much time at the gym as you do on this f**king couch, I’d be absolutely shredded and ripped to no end. I’m out running, I’m out hiking, and I’m out in the water, in the ocean. I’m in f**king Beast Mode.”

Firstly, Dan, you aren’t the wolverine.

Secondly, sure, he didn’t outright say it, but it’s pretty clear he thinks if she went to the gym more she’d look better.
