Things have well and truly erupted on Married at First Sight Australia, as two brides have found themselves in a major feud – but UK fans can’t quite wrap their heads around why.
In a recent episode of the reality series, the remaining couples headed to the retreat, but it was brides Bec and Rachel that found themselves at loggerheads due to a comment made by Bec.
The comment itself, however, was censored, so it became a little confusing as to why Rachel became so upset with Bec…
So, what went down at the retreat? Scroll on as we take you through the dramatic moment, and explain further details on Bec and her relationship status.
Why did Bec and Rachel clash at the retreat?
Bec and Rachel were involved in a “feud” during the Married at First Sight Australia retreat, which erupted when Bec marked the occasion with a toast.
“Ladies and gentlemen,” she began. “Guys, I wanted to just call us here tonight because it’s the first night of the retreat and we’ve had ‘I love yous’ and we’ve had a couple that I thought could not come back from the brink of hell bounce back.
“And we’ve had ********,” Bec said, making a lewd comment involving details of Rachel and Stephen’s sex life.
This word was censored by Channel 4, meaning audiences weren’t exactly clear on what Bec said. When it was broadcast in Australia, however, this part was uncensored, with the comment itself relating to a private sexual act between Rachel and Stephen that Rachel had told the girl group in confidence.
After publicising this knowledge to the entire group, it’s safe to say Rachel wasn’t best pleased.
“I didn’t think it was funny. She turned something that Steven and I were so excited about, telling others about where we’re at, into a joke,” Rachel said to the camera shortly after Bec’s comment.
Who is Bec Zacharia?
Age: 35
Job: Account manager
Location: South Australia
Bec is an account manager who describes herself as a loud, outspoken, social butterfly who is “never shy of being the centre of attention”.
The 35-year-old has been voted Adelaide’s most eligible bachelorette twice, but is yet to find the one to settle down with.
Are Bec and Danny still together?
Bec and Danny were matched together by the experts and while they initially hit off, it was Danny’s vows that didn’t go down well with Bec.
The pair managed to get things back on track and excelled during intimacy week, but things took a turn when fellow bride Gia claimed that Danny said she was more his type – something he denies.
The pair eventually made it to the final vows and while Bec said she wanted to remain with Danny after the experiment, he brutally said he only loved her “as a friend”.
“When I think of bringing kids into the world, I want to bring kids into a stable relationship and a stable loving home,” he said. “As much as it breaks my heart to say this, I felt a weight come off my shoulders, at a time when I should’ve been missing you.”
He continued: “I believe you can have multiple soulmates in life – some who are your best friends and some who are your lovers. Bec, I believe you’re my soulmate as a friend, but I’ve come to realise there’s doubt in my mind if you are my soulmate as a lover.”
So, no, Bec and Danny have not remained a couple.
