What you don’t expect is for one of the experiment’s strongest relationships to suddenly find itself at the centre of the chaos.

But that’s exactly what unfolds at the Commitment Ceremony on Sunday.

But first, let’s talk about the Dinner Party that just aired…

Viewers were surprised to see formerly feuding brides Gia Fleur and Alissa Fay form an unlikely friendship during Retreat Week.

But their alliance doesn’t last, with Gia rocking Wednesday’s Dinner Party #5 by bringing out the infamous WhatsApp texts we published three weeks ago.

The texts confirmed that Gia and co-stars Bec Zacharia and Brook Crompton had spent weeks scheming to take down Alissa, despite appearing to be friendly with her.

In one message, Bec declared she was going to ‘go so f**king hard on Alissa and her fake relationship’. Another bride responded: ‘Go babe we agree and got you.’

In another, Bec referred to Alissa as a ‘rat’ for telling MAFS producers that a reporter had contacted her, before making deeply offensive remarks about her character.

Elsewhere in the catty conversation, insults flew about Alissa being allegedly fake, unrelatable and opportunistic.

The Mail understands she is now considering her legal options in response to these claims.

Later, one of the group members dismissively referred to Alissa and husband David Momoh as ‘Christian influencer wannabes’, and another said it was ‘obvious’ they were ‘dying to be’ famous.

For context: the messages were exchanged a week before the chaotic Dinner Party #2 but weren’t revealed to Alissa and the wider cast until last night’s Dinner Party #5.

For Alissa, the reveal made her doubt whether Gia was ever genuinely interested in being friends, or if she was simply trying to dig up dirt on her for the other mean girls.

‘They shut it down’ 

Looking ahead to Sunday’s Commitment Ceremony #5, an insider claims the room descended into chaos when Gia tried to bring up the WhatsApp screenshots again in order to expose Bec’s role in the scheming against Alissa.

‘It got pretty explosive,’ the source said. ‘Gia tried to show screenshots that would have changed how the whole situation looked.’

But according to the insider, production stepped in quickly.
