The viewers have nothing good to say about it on Twitter. “Arjan should be deeply and deeply ashamed.”
Not a romantic wedding night
That Arjan doubted his match with Maurice became clear right from the start. During the opening dance he felt incredibly uncomfortable, which caused him to block completely. Also during the wedding night it became painfully clear that Arjan didn’t like it. Maurice beamed when he entered the luxurious hotel room, while Arjan was not impressed at all. “I don’t see a whirlpool, I don’t see a big swimming pool,” he said.
Honeymoon alone
While Maurice went on his honeymoon to Porto alone, Arjan stayed at home. He doubted too much about his match. He’d had multiple panic attacks and felt “zero point zero” attraction.
Maurice walked alone through the streets of Porto, hoping that Arjan would follow him after a few days of rest. In good spirits Maurice sat down at the table in a restaurant that was set for two people. “I’m really open about it. And I hope that I can continue with him, especially this trip, but also beyond, to still explore what kind of future is in it,” said Maurice.
No physical attraction
Finally the waiter arrived with only a letter. Maurice knew immediately what time it was. “I don’t get a letter saying ‘I’m just around the corner’. I knew enough then. Arjan is not here.” He read the letter aloud: “I thought you were more like a brother of mine, or a relative. Science, however careful, cannot regulate physical attraction. There is no relationship for me. There is no need to investigate this further.”
Maurice pretended to be big, but once in the hotel room, tears rolled down his cheeks when he called his best friend. “My parents went over bumps to get to this, those people are putting in 200%, with the right intention. And then he fucking does this,” he sobbed.
unbelievably cowardly
Viewers sympathize en masse with Maurice. They find it very pathetic that he is linked to Arjan. He doesn’t deserve this, they write. They wish him so much better. “Maurice is a lottery ticket. You deserve all the best,” it continues.
That is why many viewers are very angry with Arjan. They blame him for not even having the balls to go to Porto for everything face to face explain. “Arjan, you are such an incredibly cowardly guy to humiliate Maurice so publicly,” writes one viewer. Another responds with: “Arjan, I hope that the words that Maurice has expressed and the sadness that he has dared to show the whole of the Netherlands, make you realize that your letter was not correct.”
Spoiler alert
Note: spoilers from the episode of Married at first sight from next week.
The viewers of the program clearly grant Maurice a new nice man and he gets that chance. In next week’s episode – which can already be seen on Videoland – the experts make it clear to Arjan that they also think that he has not given the experiment a fair chance. In addition, they have good news for Maurice.
Maurice is so hurt but he remains so neat and courteous in his choice of words.
dear @MauriceWestra, you can really say that Arjan is an asshole because we all know that already and wish you all someone who sees you and loves you!#mafs #mafsnl

“Long letter with a lot in it but nothing is said” It was also about alone again #Arjan and he does not regret what he did to Maurice. Heartbreaking? This has #Arjan all on his conscience. He should be deeply ashamed of himself. #mafsnl #mafs

There you are in Portugal. Alone. With a letter just received.
Your new husband doesn’t even bother to explain it in person.
What a huge *** you are. Then don’t join #Arjan of #mafsnl† #mafs pic.twitter.com/ck4mpM9sHh— Sjonnie Konnerie (@sjonniekonnerie) March 1, 2022
Arjan dares to say in the first sentence that he has done his best…
Not!In fact, he only thinks about himself.
I wish Maurice so much better.
Arjan should have thought much better before #MAFS to participate. It’s a big kid. #teamMaurice #mafsnl pic.twitter.com/J2HBXyTkm9

Arjan is looking for a man who is the exact opposite of himself. You got it: Maurice, nice, charming, attentive, empathetic #MAFS

Arjan, I hope the words that #Maurice and the sadness that he dared to show to the whole of NL, makes you realize that that letter of yours was not correct. You thought that was it. That’s not it. You step on the feelings of others. #TeamMaurice #MAFS pic.twitter.com/g9KZnInUHK
