When Married at First Sight Australia bride Tori is ambushed by her fellow brides at this week’s dinner party, she is left questioning whether any of her friendships in the experiment are real.
“I’m not a girl’s girl,” Tori, 27, tells TV WEEK. “So, when all the girls pulled me aside to tell me what Jack had been saying, I really didn’t give a f–k. [But] to have Lauren say it as well was a low blow – I thought we were good friends.”

Tori is referring to a comment that her husband, Jack, makes to some of the boys where he “jokes” that if there were to be a couple swap, the other grooms were welcome to sleep with his bride, as he had no interest in doing so.
“Jack and I had already made this joke,” Tori reveals. “We have a dark sense of humour and it probably should have stayed between us, but he ‘broed’ out at the gym a little too hard and the comment got back to one of the wives.”
That wife was Tori’s best friend, Lauren, and when Lauren gets wind of this information, she brings it to Tori’s attention in a way that left the latter unimpressed.

“It really hurt me that she did it at the dinner table,” Tori says. “It strained our relationship and made me realise we’re obviously not genuine friends and it was a part of her game plan. I thought, ‘That’s great for you, that’s your journey.’ My journey isn’t about a game plan.”
And to those who believe Tori is blindly standing by her man despite him displaying some questionable behaviour, she has some advice.
“People that believe I’m this mute, lovesick puppy that worships the ground he walks on probably need to research MAFS,” she says. “They need to take the show with a grain of salt.”
