Fans of Married at First Sight Australia season 12 commented on Adrian's response to Veronica's statements online. One person wrote on X:
"Man, Eliot's delivery to Veronica... "what, restaurant service?" and then "...and the Oscar goes to (with mock applause)" was ice cold. Worked perfectly, and it called the actress on her bullsh*t. Well played, mate."

"Okay Eliot calling Veronica out on acting was pretty funny and from what I've heard accurate," a fan commented.
"Eliot just said the quiet part out loud. Veronica isn’t actually a real person, everything is a scene. I doubt she’s experienced a genuine human engagement in her adult life," a tweet read.
Fans of Married at First Sight Australia season 12 criticized Veronica's behavior towards Eliot:
"The irony of Veronica putting Eliot down by repeating his words and using him name at the end of each sentence in a patronising, condescending manner, treating him like a fool, whilst telling him he’s patronising?!?" a person wrote.
"And yet again, Veronica is condescending and ready for a fight. She even outright admitted it: 'You're beneath me!' She just doesn't like Eliot, period," a fan commented.
"Can Veronica just leave with her smug a**? i don't even care for this torture of Eliot, he's literally said he wants to do better and was very open to the advice from Rhi. stop making me feel bad for these men!" a tweet read.
Fans of Married at First Sight Australia season 12 further said:
"Is Veronica okay??? is she well? i literally cannot believe she’s making me root for Eliot. like what the hell is going on??? i’m so confused. she literally pulls fights out of her a** like girl say leave if you’re going to be this insufferable," a person wrote.
"I think Veronica wants those little acts of service that can make a difference and we don’t see if he does or doesn’t do that. She super condescending but I feel like Eliot might be a bare minimum kind of guy. They’re just wrong for each other flat out," a fan commented.
