After 12 seasons of Married At First Sight (MAFS) and a ‘yuge list of grooms being called out for their fuckery, 2025’s Ryan Donnelly has officially taken the cake of Australia’s biggest gronk with the gross comments he made about reality TV wife Jacqueline Burfoot.
This article contains Married At First Sight spoilers. It’s up to you if you wanna stay or leave.
After a flop Intimacy Week attempt between Jacqui and Ryan, it is time for the grooms to take on Alessandra Rampolla‘s workshop.
This is an opportunity for the grooms to speak about the intimacy of their relationship in a respectful manner. Emphasis on the respect part!
Unfortunately for warrior groom Ryan, he dogged his missus by not only using the term “crazy eyes” to describe her but also by airing out their sex life on national TV in the most disrespectful way possible.
To give you a quickie recap, when it was time for Ryan to open up about his relationship with Jacqui and their fantasy date night, the 36-year-old project manager revealed that shit hit the fan when Jacqui addressed the photo ranking challenge, which is something she seems to be hurt by after Ryan had ranked her third rather than first.
“I was just telling her, ‘Look I’m not gonna take the answer back, alright?’ And then suddenly the crazy eyes came out,” Ryan laughed as the other grooms and Alessandra gawked at him in shock.
“Try living with it.”
Dave Hand took aim at the warrior groom during a voxxie, pointing out how hurtful that comment stemmed from Jake Luik, who confessed to calling Jacqui that name during the photo ranking challenge.
“To bring that up in a group setting when we’re in Intimacy Week, like it’s not great. You don’t say these things to put women down,” Dave continued like A KING.
But to make things worse — duh ‘cos it’s MAFS — Ryan continued to complain that the date was crap because it was Jacqui’s fantasy and wasn’t something he wanted. Thankfully, Alessandra put him in his place, reminding him that the task was for the bride’s and not the groom’s.
BUT WAIT, it gets worse.
Ryan went on to talk about her head game on national television, right after he complained and used the term “crazy eyes” to describe her frustration.
“It didn’t go the way either of us wanted but uh, we um, I’ve gotta say she gives awesome head,” he laughed while addressing his fellow grooms who were gobsmacked.
“It kept getting better every round.”
Thankfully, Alessandra shut that shit down, cutting him off to say, “alright”.
YUUUUUCKKKKKKKKKKKK.
Just like his fellow grooms, a bunch of MAFS viewers voiced their disgust with Ryan’s comments on social media shortly after it was aired.

Not Ryan, saying his OWN WIFE has “crazy eyes” to the boys. What a fucking loser especially when temu tater tot, looks like a triangle and has the type of 1000 yard stare that would make me cross the road to avoid him #MAFS #MAFSAU pic.twitter.com/0KxWcU89Ll

Just like Ashleigh Ackerman, all the grooms ended up telling their wives about the fucked comment and thankfully all the brides voiced their concerns with Ryan’s behaviour.
Be sure to tune into tomorrow’s dinner party because something tells me that this is going to reach boiling point over the bevvies!!
Married At First Sight returns tomorrow on Channel Nine and 9Now.
