The drama of Married at First Sight Australia reached new heights on March 11, 2025, with the airing of episode 27. In this pivotal installment, participants engaged in a revealing exercise: reading heartfelt honesty letters to their partners. A particularly notable exchange took place between Veronica and Eliot, where Veronica expressed her feelings and drew comparisons with her previous partner, Dave, during their time together.
During their conversation, Veronica elaborated on how Dave’s behavior made her feel appreciated. She recalled moments at the dinner table where Dave would inquire about her preferences and even insisted on handling post-meal cleanup. When she asked Eliot if he could relate, his response was striking:
“Like a restaurant experience.”
Fans Respond to Eliot’s Dry Wit
As the exchange unfolded, viewers flocked to social media to share their reactions. One observer on X remarked on Eliot’s icy comeback:
“Man, Eliot’s delivery to Veronica… ‘what, restaurant service?’ and then ‘…and the Oscar goes to’ was ice cold. It worked perfectly and really laid bare her arguments. Well played, mate.”

“Okay Eliot calling Veronica out on acting was pretty funny and, from what I’ve heard, accurate,”a fan commented.
“Eliot just said the quiet part out loud. Veronica isn’t actually a real person; everything is a scene. I doubt she’s experienced a genuine human engagement in her adult life,”a tweet read.
Critique of Veronica’s Actions
As the episode progressed, criticism of Veronica’s behavior towards Eliot intensified. Viewers pointed out her condescending remarks:
“The irony of Veronica putting Eliot down by repeating his words and using his name at the end of each sentence in a patronizing, condescending manner, while claiming he’s patronizing her?!?”one viewer wrote.
“And yet again, Veronica is condescending and ready for a fight. She even outright admitted it: ‘You’re beneath me!’ She just doesn’t like Eliot, period,”another fan commented.
“Can Veronica just leave with her smug a**? I don’t even care for this torture of Eliot. He’s literally said he wants to do better and was very open to the advice from Rhi. Stop making me feel bad for these men!”a tweet read.
Veronica-Specific Concerns and Assessments
Fans delved deeper into Veronica’s behavior, expressing confusion over her actions:
“Is Veronica okay??? Is she well? I literally cannot believe she’s making me root for Eliot. What the hell is going on??? I’m so confused. She pulls fights out of nowhere—girl, just leave if you’re going to be this insufferable,”one commenter stated.
“I think Veronica wants those little acts of service that can make a difference. She’s super condescending, but I feel like Eliot might be a bare-minimum kind of guy. They’re just wrong for each other, flat out,”a fan assessed.
Clarification on Attentiveness
In the same episode, Veronica confronted Eliot about her emotions surrounding their relationship and implied a lack of attentiveness from him. Eliot acknowledged her concerns but sought clarity on her definition of attentiveness:
“It sounds like you’re learning lines from your movie,”Eliot replied, steering the conversation towards a more grounded place.
Fans praised Eliot’s responses, viewing them as thoughtful retorts to Veronica’s remarks. The push and pull of their dynamic continues to captivate audiences.
