What happened to female friendships at the Married At First Sight retreat?
Hello and welcome back to the Maths Funny Podcast with me, Joshua Fox. On last night's Married at First Sight, we saw female friendships fall apart with lines drawing the sand as loyalties were made abundantly clear. Take a listen to this.
I'm not backing Lauren. I want everyone to come together. Then stand up for me too, Karina. We've done our time. We've literally, I've had your back. I've had everyone's back. Defend me, maybe. What do you want me to say, like raise my arms? Babe, chill. Chill out. My friends have completely dropped the bolt.
What started as Lauren the sheen-wearing snob going up against the apparently boganic Jamie soon dragged Karina and Rhi into it, who seemingly sided with Lauren. And, well, all of this was filmed six months ago, and a lot of shit has happened since then.
Oh, and my reference to Lauren being a sheen-wearing snob is no judgment to the fact that she was wearing an $8.95 spicy margarita T-shirt from Sheen on last night's episode. We all love a bargain.
It's more the absolute hilarity in the fact that just 24 hours earlier, she went on this whole elitist rant about Athena only being able to afford nylon hair extensions, which apparently meant Athena was beneath her because, you know, Lauren is used to the more finer things in life. Then the next day she pulls out a holiday wardrobe full of sheen. Can someone please make that make sense?
Anyway, as I said, this was all filmed six months ago now, and you're all probably wondering, well, who's friends and who's still holding a grudge? And don't worry, I've got the answers for you. But before I get to that, a few of you pointed out something interesting to me that you spotted during the retreat last night that I'm going to be honest, I completely missed it.
And it is the fact that as the cast were all kind of sat there as a group, Paul was holding what looked to be a beer and drinking alongside everyone else. And if you're confused why that's slightly problematic, it's because remember my chat with Karina on Sunday where she revealed this.
At the end of the day, I felt safe and it was up to me, essentially. He was banned from alcohol for the rest of the series. They gave him therapy sessions every Saturday morning. So there was a lot of things that had to come into place for it to be a safe environment.
That was Karina basically saying that one of the conditions of Paul being able to stay on the show after the domestic violence incident was that he was banned from drinking for the rest of the season. But there he was with what looked like a beer. I can't confirm this. I'm trying to figure out exactly what the drink is. So I'm going to post a screenshot to Instagram.
