Recap of Episode 28 of Married at First Sight Australia 2025
The latest installment of Married at First Sight Australia aired on March 12, 2025, with episode 28 centering on the anticipated Dinner Party Wednesday. During this gathering, various couples convened for an evening meal, but it was a particular conversation between Carina and Awhina that captured the attention of viewers, culminating in a heated disagreement involving Paul.
Background of the Disturbance
The source of tension arose when Paul revealed to Carina that he had previously had a fling with Awhina’s sister, Cleo. Carina had made disparaging remarks about Cleo, labeling her as “a low caliber”choice. During the Partner Swap task, Paul shared Carina’s comments with Awhina after teaming up with her, which created an unintended rift between the two women.
Carina’s Apology
Upon learning that Paul had shared her remarks with Awhina, Carina felt remorseful and sought to make amends. She approached Awhina away from the dinner table and apologized for her earlier comments. During the heartfelt exchange, Carina admitted that her comments were rooted in personal insecurities, acknowledging that they sounded disrespectful. Awhina graciously accepted her apology, but the situation sparked significant discussion among fans.
Fan Reactions and Social Media Buzz
As the episode unfolded, followers of the show took to X to voice their opinions on Carina’s behavior. Many expressed that her comments reflected “snobby tendencies,”highlighting that this was not an isolated incident.
“Being insecure about someone Paul dated two years ago doesn’t give you the right to try and call Cleo low caliber. Carina defo has snobby tendencies because this isn’t the first time… she let her true feelings about Jamie slip when they were beefing,”a fan commented.
“Hell yeah. I really hope that Awhina comes for Carina. Nobody disrespects Cleo. She is a queen,”said another viewer.
- “Carina said she badmouthed Awhina’s sister Cleo because she was jealous. Is that a real apology?”a comment read.
- “All right. Who was worse? Carina badmouthing Cleo to Paul or Paul telling Carina to Cleo’s twin sister Awhina?”asked another user.
In addition, some fans expressed their disappointment toward Paul for breaching Carina’s trust by disclosing her comments to Awhina.
“Paul has definitely thrown Carina under the bus, but her comments about Cleo are also uncalled for,”one user remarked.
“She shouldn’t have said that about Cleo, but Paul should’ve called her out the second she said it not waited and told Awhina,”wrote another.
Many viewers felt that Carina’s comments were made in a moment of insecurity, yet believed that Paul’s actions of sharing them with Awhina constituted a betrayal of trust.
“Carina’s comments about Cleo were made in the heat of the moment when she found out Paul had slept with Cleo. It was said in confidence. Him repeating those words to Awhina is a betrayal of trust. That really burns,”noted a viewer.
Confrontation with Paul
During the dinner, after Carina’s heartfelt apology to Awhina, Paul approached them, despite Carina’s request for privacy. This led to a direct confrontation where Carina admonished Paul for disclosing her comments. She accused him of throwing her under the bus and questioned whether he would take responsibility for his actions. Paul, however, stood firm, asserting that he did not regret revealing the information and did not comprehend Carina’s viewpoint regarding the need for confidentiality.
