Married At First Sight (MAFS) viewers are praising Dave Hand for ripping Ryan Donnelly a new one for the fucked comments he made about reality TV wife, Jacqueline Burfoot, behind her back.
This article contains Married At First Sight spoilers. It’s up to you if you wanna stay or leave.
ICYMI, Ryan Donnelly is currently public enemy number one in the reality TV world after he used the term “crazy eyes” to describe his wife, Jacqui, before revealing she gave great head to his fellow grooms during an Intimacy Week workshop with Alessandra Rampolla.
Shortly after, several grooms went on to tell their wives about what Ryan said. One of the grooms was gentle giant Dave Hand who admitted that he wished he told Ryan off then and there.
However, on Wednesday night’s episode, it was clear that Jacqui had no clue that Ryan had made that comment. When the other brides asked about her sex life, Jacqui denied she and Ryan were “knocking boots”, confusing her fellow castmates who’ve heard about Ryan’s blowjob comment about Jacqui.
With Jacqui and Ryan sharing conflicting stories about their sex life, their fellow castmates decided to nip the confusion in the bud during the — you guessed it — the dinner party!!!
Things kicked off when Rhi Disljenkovic and Jeff Gobbels (who were also disgusted with Ryan’s comments) asked Ryan about their intimacy week.
However, it was when Billy Belcher mentioned that Ryan referred to Jacqui as “crazy eyes” when things began to kick off.

Surprisingly, Jacqui appeared to agree with the controversial comment, telling her castmates that she does have crazy eyes and that she “brought them tonight”.
As Ryan and Jacqui attempted to excuse the “crazy eyes” label as a joke, Billy emphasised that it was a sign of disrespect.
“I think it’s quite disrespectful to call your wife and say she has crazy eyes towards the boys,” Billy shared.
When Ryan explained it was a joke, Billy said he didn’t take it as one.
Shit officially hit the fan when Jamie Marinos asked Ryan to clarify if he and Jacqui were intimate due to their conflicting statements.
When Ryan failed to answer the question, his controversial blowjob comment was brought to light by one of the grooms — it’s not clear who — yelling about it off-screen.
Dave immediately jumped, telling Jacqui that Ryan’s blowjob comment wasn’t a positive and that “he was making fun of it”.
“It’s not OK at the end of the day to talk shit about your wife behind her back and I took offence to it,” Dave yelled, and as he fucking shouuuuld!!!
“No one here speaks about their partner like that,” Dave continued before asking Jacqui if she thinks he should’ve said the comment or not.
“That doesn’t make any sense,” Ryan yelled back before Dave clapped back expressing how the comment was uncomfortable for everyone in the workshop.
After Ryan and Dave’s screaming match, Jacqui told her husband that she agreed with everyone and that he shouldn’t be talking smack behind her back.
“I’m feeling pretty humiliated and embarrassed. I really don’t think my sex life is relevant to this experiment,” Jacqui said in a voxxie.
While it was painful to see Ryan get away with that comment on Tuesday night, it was nice to see his ass handed to him during the Dinner Party by Billy and Dave.
That being said, a lot of MAFS viewers have appeared to side with Billy and Dave for confronting the self-proclaimed warrior groom.

Look, a lot of people have their thoughts about Jacqui, but I cannot help but feel terrible for her. Hopefully, she can escape the madness in the next Commitment Ceremony.
Married At First Sight returns Sunday on Channel Nine and 9Now.
