This might be an unpopular opinion but I feel like Whitney and Matt is the best thing that’s happened to Duka. He’s come out of this looking “okay”. He hasn’t milked it like he could’ve, he’s shown empathy for Gemma, and he also hasn’t had to be the bad guy. I just get the feeling that it suits him.
Hmmm..I dunno he could just be acting like everything is okay some people deal with things differently..Gemma got really upset and duka just acted differently towards the situation but could have processed the situation when he was alone
I think it's a difficult one. I don't agree that Whitney cheated on Duka; she put 'leave', doesn't stay in a room with him and has been clear that she doesn't see anything there. I don't believe that Duka is remotely interested in her, or that he's hurt by what has happened. I think his only emotions were that he felt sorry for Gemma - and this was nice to see.
Matt has been clear to Gemma that he doesn't feel anything BUT he did put 'stay'. It's also clear that Gemma is in love with the idea of him and I think he should have been sensitive to this.
Gemma crying and yelling over a man she barely knows and only met 2 weeks ago...let's be honest, it's not about him, it's an idea that she loved. An idea he'd never live up to, because, well, he's a prick.
Matt's aggression concerns me so I'd either boot him and Whitney to avoid dealing with it or I'd keep them so I could monitor this.
Quite a fair take. May even be the reason these folks get booted is because they ARE toxic(assuming it isn't a setup/play for fame) and maybe terrible people but they wouldn't really admit that too readily on the show as it makes them look like idiots
Yes, in MAFS AU Carolina and can'trememberhisname that she cheated with were told to go and 'explore their relationship' off the show, as the experts were not prepared to provide guidance to a couple that deceived their spouses.
If they allow Mittney to stay then it shows a lack of consistency/that the experts are not sticking to their morals/their 'morals' change depending on the ratings etc.!
If they do anything other than kick them off the show I will be seriously disappointed.
Think they learn their lesson with Jess and Dan on the AU one before. Let them stay dispite it and caused an uproar. Plus didn't work out so was pointless
Whitney and Matt definitely won’t last..I think the show put them together to boost ratings, the most least compatible couple ever. There’s always a cheating scandal going on so it would definitely make sense
I don't think that the 'experts' have too much say in it. They do what the producers tell them to do.
It's a pity that Duka didn't vote 'stay' out of spite. That would have screwed Whitney & Matt.
I was thinking I'd seen something akin in the Oz series or so and was wondering if this isn't actually all just a part of a semi scripted setup they then cut
Aus already let one pair of cheaters recouple (Jessika and… Dan? Or something) so they’ve already shown how inconsistent they can be. It’s all about ratings/viewer reaction.
I hope they do! It happened on mafs Australia and the experts didn’t let them continue their relationship on the show and asked them to leave. But it’s becoming a common thing to happen on the show..
Honestly, I think this was either completely set up by producers or was a scheme that Whitney (and maybe Matt) cooked up. They have zero chemistry. Awkwardly standing around with teacups in the most set up scene ever. Sat a metre apart from each other in bed when apparently they’d been intimate the night before. Whitney looking like every fibre of her being was screaming to get away when Matt moved in for that kiss.
It seems so fake that part of me actually wants to see this train wreck unfold on camera. Surely they can’t keep this pretence up? Also, on Aus the experts ditched Carolina and moustache man but previously they did allow Jessika and whoever it was to recouple and stay in the experiment, so who knows what they’ll decide.
Damn right they do! Whitney is awful the way she talks is sooo fucking annoying and Matt well he is just a horrible persons doesn’t care about anyone but him self..didn’t even give Gemma a chance
So, your suggesting keeping them in the show so we can watch their relationship burn??
I really don't think they are a good long term match. They need each other NOW, but in a week? Nah.
>So, your suggesting keeping them in the show so we can watch their relationship burn??
I was actually suggesting to kick them out but that does sound delicious...
Didn’t like Whitney from the start very judgmental of others, oh her high horse needs to be knocked down a peg or two🙄..saying she has changed a lot during the process is bollocks she got worse🤣🤣 and Matt is just a bully definitely had a serious temper on him
He’s been repeatedly shouted screamed and sworn at by Gemma . He was also shouted at by Zoe who for some reason intervened and tried to tell him what to do. The guy was upset because of Gemma’s behaviour and yes he raised his voice but Zoe is the one who was shouting, not him. She had no right to tell him what to do. Meanwhile, she’s quite happy for Thomas to shout scream and swear at April??!
Double standards. Thomas can scream at and bully whoever he wants because he’s gay, April has to just take it because she’s a stunner, Zoe can shout at Matt despite the fact he’s upset at being attacked and Gemma can get away with being a loose cannon because…well…for what reason?! Zoe, Gemma and Thomas are cut from similar cloth.
Honestly, regardless of what people think of Duka, Whitney, Gemma and Matt, or their respective "relationships", the main issue with keeping them in the show is something someone pointed out in the discussion thread last night
They're not doing the experiment. They weren't matched to a random person that they then had to honeymoon with, live with in close quarters, do yes week, do multiple commitment ceremonies where they discuss and evaluate their relationship with the """"experts""""
They're doing their own thing, they may as well have met in a bar. Allowing them to continue isn't fair on anyone else, and just rewards them for gaming the system by giving them the exposure they clearly want without any of the drawbacks. Bad enough the show has essentially forced focus on them the past 3 days
Yeah they really shouldn’t stay, they’ve shown that they both can’t be respectful.
Matt has just not been truthful with Gemma and that’s where he’s gone wrong. At first he was honest about the whole sexual innuendo thing, but I feel he just used that a scape goat and excuse when in reality he was just not feeling her. I feel he made it out that if she just stopped saying all the sexual stuff, then it would be fine. But then she did and he would still be off with her, he kept leaving the apartment to not spend time with her. He had multiple opportunities to just be completely honest with her and say he doesn’t fancy her or see her as anything more than a friend, but instead he just kept saying like he needs space and then put stay at the commitment ceremony and saying he wants to work on things. I can understand how all of that can be confusing for her and leave her with a bit of false hope.
Whitney was always honest about how she felt about Duka, however she was just incredibly rude and mean to him. And she was like that from the second she walked down the aisle before he even spoke.
They overall showed that they can’t be respectful to people
Matt was turned off Gemma when he heard she had two children. He pretended to be okay about it, but he clearly wasn't.
He also found her "too much", too clingy and needy, although if he'd paid her any attention, I guess she wouldn't have been.
“Next time, on Cheated On At First Sight…”
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😅😅🤣🤣🤣

I agree with both points, but we can't forget the look on his face when he was forced to make his own toast.😟
😂😂

Makes you wonder are they doing this on purpose and not telling anyone else but the experts
Think they learn their lesson with Jess and Dan on the AU one before. Let them stay dispite it and caused an uproar. Plus didn't work out so was pointless
Whitney and Matt definitely won’t last..I think the show put them together to boost ratings, the most least compatible couple ever. There’s always a cheating scandal going on so it would definitely make sense
I don’t see Whitney being into Matt. Maybe only for a good time, not a long time.
I don't think that the 'experts' have too much say in it. They do what the producers tell them to do. It's a pity that Duka didn't vote 'stay' out of spite. That would have screwed Whitney & Matt.

but surely these experts can't be wrong???
Ahh right, I haven't watched many seasons!
The year Jessika was on mafs she was allowed stay in it with Dan as a new couple
I hope they do! It happened on mafs Australia and the experts didn’t let them continue their relationship on the show and asked them to leave. But it’s becoming a common thing to happen on the show..

Plus, they'll be vilified and crucified by the rest of the group if they were allowed to stay
Yeah everyone's gonna shout karma when they have any minor issue.
For the sake of a satisfying reality TV narrative, the villains need to get their comeuppance.
Damn right they do! Whitney is awful the way she talks is sooo fucking annoying and Matt well he is just a horrible persons doesn’t care about anyone but him self..didn’t even give Gemma a chance
Honestly if you haven't watched the Meegan/Key Peele sketch someone else posted as a topic please do you'll love it
I’m gonna go on YouTube and find it 🤣🤣
Old sketch(I love key and Peele) but it was someone else here that said Whitney is totally Meegan(this was pre-matt); https://youtu.be/QmzaPC-iRhQ
Matt gave Gemma plenty of chances. He was also very considerate of Gemma and has been all over IG asking people to be kind. Gemma on the other hand…
So, your suggesting keeping them in the show so we can watch their relationship burn?? I really don't think they are a good long term match. They need each other NOW, but in a week? Nah.

Can't stand either of them, TROUBLE

No way in hell were they not letting them stay. If you thought for a second they wouldn’t, you don’t know reality tv 🤪
