Channel 9's Married at First Sight Australia season 12 is about to wrap up the season in the coming days. However, after the final commitment ceremony and ahead of the final vows, the cast members were given tempting tasks of finding out whether they could have done well with one of the other compatible people the experts had found for them before the show.
Each participant was given the option of going on dates with the said person, and for Jacqui and Ryan, both of them said yes to meeting the people they were compatible with. The latter met 30-year-old Vivian and told the cameras that she was "physically" his type.
Fans of MAFS Australia season 12 commented on Ryan's date with Vivian online.
"Oh no. Viv is another Jacqui. Skull it, Ryan," one person wrote on X.
"Were Ryan & Viv ‚matched‘ together because they both have extremely long necks?" a fan commented.
"LMFAOOOOOOOO how is Vivian matched with Ryan? I mean how did anyone get matched with Ryan," a tweet read.

Vivan asked the Married at First Sight Australia season 12 star to choose an intention for the year and Ryan told her he wanted to learn a new skill. Vivan told him that hers was to go to Japan.
As clips of Ryan with his Samurai sword were played, he told Vivian he had a 200-year-old "genuine antique" sword that he brought back from Japan. Describing it further, he said it was a weapon and still had a protection charm intact, and that for him, it was a thing of beauty and culture.
