After an intense past few weeks, the couples escaped the city and headed to the Southern Highlands of NSW. It was finally Retreat Week of the “Married At First Sight” experiment, where all the participants live together for four days. I mean, what could possibly go wrong?
Well, a lot, by the looks of it.
It all started on the first night of the retreat when Evelyn and Harrison butted heads over the legitimacy of the pocket dial incident.
Bronte Gets Confronted By the Girls Over Harrison’s Behaviour
Bronte was confronted by the girls as to whether she shares Harrison’s views when she unapologetically told them that she “has his back no matter what”.
“Oh my gosh, what has happened? Harrison’s played it so well that Bronte’s actually starting to think like him. It’s hard to watch,” a shocked Melinda told producers.
The other girls questioned if she was losing herself to him. The discussion got heated as they accused her of being “emotionally manipulated” by Harrison.
“I think you’re molding a bit,” Melinda bluntly told Bronte, while Claire added, “You’re losing yourself.”
“I know emotional manipulation when I see it and I feel like that’s what Harrison is doing to you.”
Bronte strongly disagreed with the girls’ perspective and concluded that they were simply jealous of her relationship.
“Not once has Harrison tried to manipulate me. Harrison doesn’t control me,” she told cameras. “I am a grown-ass woman and I do have my own opinion. The reason why people try to tear down the relationship with Harrison is ‘cause they’re jealous.”
But it was Melinda calling her naive that struck a cord for Bronte. The bride had had enough and stormed off in tears.
“What the f**k. To call me naive, that’s basically calling me dumb and that my relationship with Harrison isn’t real. That really hurts,” Bronte admitted to producers. “I felt attacked. I have never had to sit there and have people nitpick my relationship when I’ve come this far.”
Bronte Confronts Melinda During Girls’ Night
The following night, the husbands and wives took time to unwind separately. However, tensions continued to brew among the girls, and Bronte finally confronted Melinda about the “naive” comment.
“Melinda, I have come so far and I’ve fought so hard for my relationship. To be called naive was offensive,” she told Melinda.
Melinda tried to express her concerns about Harrison, but Bronte stood firm in her belief that she and Harrison were in a good place.
“I’m happy to apologise if I upset you… but I also want to make sure that we’re not apologizing for the way we felt,” Melinda responded.
“I don’t want to take that back because I do genuinely feel or think the way that we all did last night. We’re all really concerned about Harrison,” Melinda explained.
Despite Melinda’s attempts to help, Bronte did not wish to continue the conversation.
“Married At First Sight” airs Sunday at 7.00pm and Monday — Wednesday at 7.30pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
