Married At First Sight’s Beth Kelly and Teejay Halkias had an uncomfortable time during Wednesday’s dramatic Dinner Party.
Despite the couple’s less-than-stellar Homestay’s visit in Brisbane, they decided to arrive at the Dinner Party together.
However, the united front quickly crumbled when Beth became frustrated that Teejay would not give her a definitive answer as to if he was interested in pursuing a relationship after the experiment ends.
Speaking to 9Entertainment, Beth said looking back she wished she had taken the ‘bold’ approach of arriving at the Dinner Party alone.
‘To be honest, I probably regret walking in together,’ she said.
‘I wish I had been a bit more bold. You’ve basically just told me you don’t see a future with me, why am I walking in and protecting you?’
While tense, Beth and Teejay’s table talk was not without its humour.
An impromptu drinking game broke out, with the couples quaffing their drinks every time Teejay addressed Beth as ‘darling’.
The salon manager admitted it’s a term of endearment she’s not keen to hear again any time soon.
‘After that, I don’t want anyone to call me “darling” ever again. With Teejay, he would call me darling often but that was just ridiculous,’ she said.
‘I guess in that moment because I was so emotional at the time, I didn’t realise how many times he said it.’
Beth’s post Dinner Party spray comes after she slammed her groom earlier this week after their disastrous Homestays in Brisbane on Tuesday night.
As the pair invited each other over to their family homes, the reality TV star discovered her husband ‘couldn’t see a future’ with her and considered her just a ‘friend’.
Blindsided by the revelation, Beth accused Teejay of ‘leading her on’ her to stay on the Nine show.
‘It felt so embarrassing because my parents could see he wasn’t into me,’ she told Daily Mail Australia.
‘And then in front of his friends the next day, he sits there and says he doesn’t see this progressing and doesn’t see a future with me. It hurts so much.
‘I just felt really disrespected and so blindsided. It really hurt my feelings.’
When asked directly if she felt Teejay had been gaslighting her into believing they had a connection up until that point, she agreed.
‘Yeah, now I look back, there were quite a few moments where I kind of felt like he maybe wasn’t into me, but I just ignored it,’ she said.
‘He was really good at saying the right things, but sometimes his actions would prove otherwise.
‘I kind of just swept it all under the rug. I should have really woken up and realised what the f*** was going on.
‘Just coming to Homestays, to me was a big deal. If he wasn’t feeling me before it, I don’t know why he came. It didn’t make any sense to me.’
However, Teejay appeared to have a different view of the way things went down between he and Beth on the show.
Teejay told Daily Mail Australia he felt pressured after being questioned by Beth’s family about his feelings and decided to be honest about what he felt for her.
‘I don’t necessarily think anything went wrong per se. There’s nothing that either one of us distinctively did,’ he said.
‘I just don’t think in the moment that my romantic feelings were growing and I was met with a lot of definite questions, like if it ends tomorrow, what would happen?
‘And yeah, it kind of just brought that up and that’s how I felt at the moment, and that’s how I explained it.’
