"Great victim strategy"— Married at First Sight Australia fans divided by Dave's claims of being hurt by Jamie

Married at First Sight Australia season 12 showcased the latest commitment ceremony in episode 29 on Sunday, March 16, 2025. The episode saw the aftermath of the dinner party, during which Jamie and Dave attempted to resolve their issues once again.

Since they were staying in separate apartments, Dave visited Jamie in the morning to discuss what had happened at the dinner party. He told her that she had never spoken to him the way she spoke to him the previous night. Dave stated Jamie said things that hurt him, which angered Jamie.

Fans of the reality show chimed in on the conversation online and were divided by Dave's claims.

"That’s a great victim strategy. One of the best ever!" one person wrote on X.

"After Jamie behaved like a shrieking banshee Dave got real insight into what a love relationship with her is like. He obviously decided she isn’t the one, but doesn’t have the heart to tell her directly. Sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind," a fan commented.

"Dave flipping the script and trying to blame and justify his change of heart on Jamie - failed dismally," a tweet read.

Some fans of Married at First Sight Australia defended Jamie.

"To those people saying Jamie yells too much or talks too much, does not let Dave get a word in; we just watched him get all the space he needs, she did not yell or interrupt him & still he did not speak, he did not explain, he was as cold as ice. He is the problem," a person wrote.

"Jamie’s way is 0 to 100 but Dave’s gaslighting deserved a strong reaction. I’m sick of these people rewriting history and their righteous indignation when they’re called out for it," a fan commented.

"Yes Jamie, how dare you make Dave feel bad about the fact he went from supposedly being in a happy relationship with you to not being able to describe you without using the sentence "Look, I don't hate her"....just stop making him feel bad dammit!" a tweet read.

Some fans of Married at First Sight Australia criticized Jamie.

"Jamie girl I love ya but for the love of god let Dave talk. The only way to understand is to let him explain," a person wrote.

"The way #Jamie is behaving is beyond. Did you ever maybe realise that your toxic behaviour might have turned what little feeling he had for you off? I mean come on," a fan commented.
