Tim Gromie stormed out of the dinner party on Married At First Sight’s latest episode.
The villain groom was confronted by bride Jamie Marinos for presenting himself as a nice guy despite rejecting his bride, Katie Johnstone.
Tim inspired fresh anger on Monday after he claimed that he was making all the effort in the relationship.
‘I feel like I’m going to lose my mind in there. Am I the only one seeing what’s going on in there?’ Jamie furiously accused him.
She was joined in her concerns by fellow bride Carina Mirabile, who agreed something was amiss.
‘I can’t die on this hill charging this motherf****r all night, someone’s gotta back me,’ Carina said.
That was when Tim had enough, storming out and declaring, ‘F**k, I’m sick of this shit.’
Many viewers tuning in at home were glad to see the back of him, with several sharing their thoughts on X.
‘At least the ep ended on a high,’ wrote one while another said, ‘Hopefully Tim never comes back.’
‘Tim has got to GO, he is a d**chebag and very delusional. He’s embarrassing himself just GO CHAMP,’ said one more.
‘Tim running away when he realised that the women had not been sucked in by his gaslighting bullshit, you love to see it,’ someone else said.
‘If Tim could be any more of a gaslighter he’d be an export product,’ joked someone else.
‘Tim delete all your socials, leave the country, cause mate every female in this country hates you,’ yet one more chimed in.
‘I apologise to every single contestant from previous seasons who I accused of “being the biggest oxygen thief this show has ever seen” because I never realised Tim has been waiting this whole time to take that crown,’ someone else said.
It comes after Tim again sparked outrage, with fans branding him ‘foul’ and ‘awful’, after a crude remark directed at his bride left viewers reeling.
The controversial reality star, already under fire for his dismissive treatment of Katie, made an offhand joke during Thursday night’s episode that sent social media into meltdown, with some fans even calling for him to be ‘banned from the show’.
During an awkward exchange, Katie tried to encourage some optimism in their relationship, expressing her hope that they could build something meaningful.
‘What would be your number one thing you want to do today?’ Tim asked his bride.
To which she cheekily joked: ‘Should we strip off nude and run around the forest?’
However, Tim’s response was anything but encouraging.
‘You do it, and I’ll just put the blinds up,’ he quipped, in a tone that many fans perceived as condescending and dismissive.
The moment quickly went viral, with fans taking to X to slam Tim’s behaviour.
‘”You do it and I’ll put the blinds up” – at this point his pure existence is irritating. TF is actually wrong with you?’ one furious fan wrote.
Another added, ‘What a p**k of a thing to say to her about the blinds.’
The backlash didn’t stop there, with viewers criticising both his attitude and overall appearance.
‘Tim is beyond foul, inside & out. The outfits & lack of nail care, the slobbing in that hat & white singlet,’ a user commented, complete with a disgusted face emoji.
Others lamented their ongoing frustration with his presence on the show.
‘I’m not sure there’s enough wine left in Dan Murphy’s to get me through hate-watching the rest of this season! wrote another fan
‘But unlike Tim, I am committed to try,’ they continued
Some viewers expressed disbelief that Tim continued to play the victim, blaming the show’s editing for his portrayal.
‘Tim, your edit isn’t bad – you’re literally saying these words on TV, so it’s your own doing,’ one fan pointed out.
Tim’s behaviour has been a major point of contention throughout the season, with his reluctance to embrace his match with Katie leaving fans outraged.
He previously expressed disappointment in their pairing, stating that she didn’t match his ‘usual type’ and that he had no physical attraction to her.
The latest controversy follows a string of cringe-worthy moments, including his awkward attempt to justify why he wasn’t interested in Katie.
‘I’m trying to get there, but I can’t force it,’ he said in a previous episode, further frustrating viewers who believe he was never genuinely invested in the experiment.
