    Dean and Davina absolutely paved the way for illicit MAFS affairs, and it seemed so damn scandalous at the time, even though the two barely shared a kiss. 

    3. And when Dean tried to show us his rapping skills and, as a nation, we never recovered.

    10. ...and then broke up on live television.

    Nine Network

    Giving an interview post-show, the couple started fighting on air when Jessika admitted to hitting on another groom, Nic. 

    "That's the first time she admitted it to me as well," Dan said, as an icy silence descended upon the pair.

    They never quite recovered. RIP. 

    11. The time Troy tried to cook dinner for Ashley...

    Nine Network

    After describing it as the "best mince she'll ever eat in her life" Troy served up a plate of barely cooked mince with a pasta sauce on top, calling it 'Pasta a la Troy'. 

    12. ...and his wild teeth-brushing antics.

    Troy, hun, U OK?

    13. And when Carly and Troy arrived to the dinner party reunion as a couple.

    14. The time Susie and Billy had a chaotic fight over Splenda.

    Nine Network

    It was a whole damn fight that could've been avoided. Susie asked Billy if he had sweetener for her coffee, he said yes, he lied, and tried to give her honey and she blew TF up, accusing him of always slipping little white lies, with him later reaching breaking point and crying. 

    Who said love is dead!

    15. When Cyrell stormed into Martha's apartment to kick things off with her, only to be greeted by Martha in full skincare mode.

    Cyrell and Martha had a heated conversation over an incident that had happened with Nic, Cyrell's husband, and Martha's MAFS bestie, Jessika. Cyrell eventually grabbed Martha by her robe as things got heated, while Martha was chilling in a face-mask the whole time, with a producer breaking the pair up.

    16. Which eventually led to their chaotic reunion dinner fight, which resulted in wine being thrown left, right and centre.

    Nine Network

    After tensions simmered all season between the pair, Martha kicked off the reunion dinner party by pouring red wine all of Cyrell before Cyrell retaliated, throwing wine at Martha's dress. 

    17. When Dino penned a heartfelt breakup poem for Mel.

    Nine Network

    Just to recap, it went a little something like this:

    "When you meet the next man, before he slams you, I hope he treats you the way you want to be treated, because you are a woman that will never be defeated."

    18. The wild Olivia and Jackson arc, from most wholesome couple to worst couple ever.

    Nine Network

    The two were quick to make us believe in love at first sight, but things later turned toxic when Olivia's rivalry with Dom took over. 

    19. And finally, when Olivia and Dom had an explosive fight at the retreat that put any other MAFS spat to shame.

    Nine Network

    A heated argument between the two broke out on retreat night, resulting in Dom smashing a wine glass and Olivia accusing her of waving the broken glass in her face. The two continued to feud when Olivia also circulated an OnlyFans of Dom around the group. 

    Messy, messy!
