This week, viewers tuned into episode 37 of Married at First Sight Australia Season 12, which aired on Sunday, March 30, 2025. This episode marked the first part of the season finale, highlighting the crucial final vows ceremony for several couples.
However, not all couples reached that pivotal moment. In a surprising turn of events, Beth decided to end her relationship with Teejay before the final vows were exchanged. During a candid conversation, she expressed her reluctance to don a wedding dress when it was clear he lacked interest in her. Beth emphasized her worth, stating that she deserves a partner who is committed and certain about their feelings.
Fans React to Beth’s Empowering Decision
The audience was quick to support Beth’s decision to break things off with Teejay prior to the final ceremony. Many took to social media to commend her for her self-advocacy. One user expressed pride in Beth’s choices on X:
“I feel so proud of Beth walking out of the experiment. Awhina needs to do the same.”
“I’m glad Beth pulled the plug before final vows. Teejay has been stringing her along for weeks all because he didn’t have the guts to end it. So she had to.”
“Beth we applaud you honey.”
Many fans conveyed that Beth truly deserved better than Teejay’s treatment throughout their relationship:
“Bethhhhh: ((SHE DESERVED SO MUCH BETTER THAN FAKE A** TEEJAY.”
“They paired a guy who’s had 200 (two hundred!) partners with a girl who’s never had a boyfriend….what did they expect?”
“Teejay was here for show and didn’t leave until after the last week because he wanted his four weeks of fame that he promised producers.”
As fans continued their commentary, they noted the producers likely anticipated a viewer drop-off if the show dragged on any longer:
“Lol Beth and Teejay didn’t even make it to final vows. MAFS producers knew viewers would flip the channel to Australian Idol.”
“The difference between Beth and Awhina is that Beth left the show when Teejay showed she wasn’t interested.”
Beth Stands Firm in Episode 37
During the finale, while other couples prepared to exchange their vows, Beth had a decisive conversation with Teejay. She articulated her discomfort about going through the motions of a wedding without mutual commitment, saying:
“So, final vows isn’t happening; this is just where we leave it.”
Teejay conceded that her decision was logical. In a reflective moment, he admitted in a confessional that he was disappointed in not being able to fulfill her needs. He acknowledged that he didn’t feel the “deep romance”growing, leading to a somewhat anticlimactic end to their story.
Beth, meanwhile, expressed her own feelings of distress regarding the breakup. She voiced that confronting someone with feelings for them, only to receive rejection, was untenable:
“It’s obvious he doesn’t want me and he doesn’t want this relationship.”
Ultimately, she concluded that participating in the final vows would be disingenuous, given the lack of mutual feelings and energy put into the relationship. Thus, she opted to end things for good.
As the episode unfolded, many viewers rallied around Beth online, praising her for her courageous step in breaking away from Teejay.
