As far as drama-filled Married At First Sight episodes go, Monday nightโs was somewhat lackluster โ save for the last 30 seconds.

The couples have moved in together in apartments around Sydney and there are more than a few teething issues, especially when it comes to Poppy and Luke, and Tash and Amanda.
Unsurprisingly, Poppy, 38, decides to pull the plug as she canโt be without her two-year-old twin boys for another second.
โI thought I would meet someone who would be a good dad to my kids โฆ I didnโt realise [being away from them] would affect me so much,โ she said.
โAll Iโve done is cry the whole time. Iโm that chick on TV that doesnโt stop crying,โ she said.
But itโs her โhusbandโ, FIFO worker Luke, 39, who you would feel the most sorry for.
โI had hope for Poppy and I,โ he cried. โI wanted a happy ending more than anything else.โ


Poppy isnโt the only one walking out. Bartender Tash Herz, 31, decides to move into her own apartment as a โpassionateโ Amanda Micallef, 34, continues to berate her for her lack of affection.
โI just want to point something out to you,โ Amanda said. โSometimes I can barely get a look in the eye from you but you embrace every opportunity to embrace [the other couples] and be affectionate. I donโt even get a stroke on the arm from you โฆ You hold back so much.โ
โI feel attacked,โ Tash said. โHow the hell am I meant to manifest feelings of warmth and love and affection for someone when they are being that aggressive?
โIโm struggling to give Amanda what she wants.โ

Amanda and Tash go to see relationship โexpertโ John Aiken for a โlast chanceโ counselling session.
Amanda tells Tash that she has her โwalls upโ, while Tash tells Amanda: โI am very triggered by you because you make me feel really, really attacked โฆ You are in this heightened state.โ
โI am passionate,โ Amanda said.
โYou are screaming,โ Tash responded.
They finally smooth out their differences and live to fight another day after realising they have different โfight stylesโ.

But it was Adelaide company director Michael Goonan, 28, and law graduate Stacey Hampton, 25, who provided the most drama โ albeit for only 30 seconds.
The pair had been getting along swimmingly since their honeymoon blow-up in Fiji when Michael went out and got very drunk and insulted his new bride.
Despite Michael and Stacey becoming the first couple to consummate their marriage and having each otherโs backs during the dinner party, commitment ceremony and during the moving in process (when Michael made Stacey remove her makeup and wear pigtails down the street in broad daylight as part of intimacy week) another spanner was put in the works thanks to Michaelโs boozing.

Cut to 12 hours after they were boasting about how easy the experiment was for them over drinks in Sydney.
โSo last night Michael went out,โ Stacey said, as she stood in her kitchen. โHe comes home and is drunk and obnoxious. Heโs being rude, heโs being disrespectful towards me. He said he was quite happy to leave last night and never speak to me again, so I kicked him out.
โWhat makes it worse is that I have been through this before on the honeymoon โ the same sort of thing happened. He is done in my eyes.โ
Michael has a lot of grovelling to do, and according to the preview for Tuesday, it starts with a โIโm sorryโ cake.
As far as drama-filled Married At First Sight episodes go, Monday nightโs was somewhat lackluster โ save for the last 30 seconds.
