Married At First Sight Viewers Turn On Veronica And Side With Eliot After The Couple’s Explosive Argument: ‘he Doesn’t Deserve This’

Married At First Sight fans found themselves in a difficult position while watching Tuesday night’s episode. 

In explosive scenes bride Veronica Cloherty dramatically stormed out after an argument with groom Eliot Donovan.

However, many viewers ended up siding with siding with Eliot, with many sharing their thoughts on X and feeling that Veronica was unreasonable. 

‘Who would have thought we’d be on Eliot’s side’ one person posted while one more said, ‘Why did she have to make me side with Elliot.’

‘I don’t think I’d be friends with Veronica. Ick’ another chimed in while someone else wrote, ‘God Veronica you are sooooo rude!’

‘Wait Eliot is kind of bang on here. I think he’s being reasonable and she is just a bit over the top’ one fan wrote. 

‘So none of us like Eliot….. but not even he deserves to be treated the way Veronica is treating him’ someone said. 

‘He’s literally walking on eggshells and having to explain himself constantly’ they added.  

Others were impressed with Veronica for turning the tables on Eliot. 

‘Gaslighter Eliot is getting Gaslighted by Veronica. This is the biggest reverse UNO we’ve ever seen on national TV’ said one. 

‘I kind of love Veronica treating Eliot how he probably treats every single woman he dates’ another said. 

Someone else posted: ‘Veronica is really telling him now go girl’ while another joked, ‘Are you missing Lauren now, Eliot?’

The couple were participating in the Expert Crash course – designed to ‘fast-track’ the new couple’s relationships – when the verbal fracas broke out.

Veronica was left with more than a few concerns about her groom after she had a conversation with Eliot’s former bride Lauren Dunn in which Lauren branded Eliot a ‘narcissist.’

The couple were then faced with a Confessions Letter task – that required them to write a letter to their partner detailing their most significant relationship or life experience.

‘I feel like Veronica wants vulnerability,’ Eliot said to camera as the pair began jotting down their confessions. 

‘I’ve never been someone that’s been overly emotional or vulnerable but I definitely have willingness to be vulnerable. 100 per cent.’

Eliot then read the contents of his confession letter in which he detailed his sister falling into a diabetic coma when he was just nine years old.

Admitting that he had never told anybody the story before, Eliot added that it was his father’s calmness in the face of the tragedy that made  him who he is today.

‘Dad’s strength and stoicism set us on a path forward,’ he shared. ‘The impact this memory has on me is I never want to be overwhelmed by emotion.

‘I feel like this is relevant to you and to our relationship in this experiment, and why I may appear guarded sometimes.’

However, Eliot’s confession did not sit well with Veronica who claimed the story did little to reveal anything about Eliot.

‘This was the perf opportunity for him to just tell me something, anything, and he chose nothing,’ she said to camera.

‘I know that his mum cried, that his sister has diabetes and that his dad is a stoic emotionless man.

She continued: ‘I don’t think he has the cap to either look at himself or think about his life in a way that’s more than surface level. He cant find it within him to give me anything more.’

Following the task, the mood became noticeably chilly in the apartment , and quickly boiled over after Eliot pressed his bride on why she was upset.

Doubling down on her earlier comments, Veronica said: ‘The story is about something traumatic that happened to someone else. You didn’t talk about your own feelings about the event.’

Eliot protested with: ‘I’ve just shared something deeply personal to me that had a huge impact on my life and your taking that and saying that’s not enough for me.’

Clearly not moved by Eliot’s words, Veronica shot back saying she was not interested in having a debate with her groom.

‘You are not listening to what I’m saying,’ she said. Therefore this conversation’s over. I’m done.’

With that, Veronica proceeded to pack a back and prepare to leave the apartment.

‘Are you going? Eliot replied, to which Veronica replied ‘What does it look like,’ before storming out.

She did return later in the episode to hash it out on the couch but it appears the damage has been done with the conversation again devolving into an argument before Veronica stormed off again.

‘I’ve had enough. Good luck Eliot,’ she said as she left the room.
