Ines’ $40 dress sold out within the hour. Photo: Channel Nine Ines Basic’s highly anticipated confrontation with former co-cheater Sam Ball wasn’t the only thing turning viewers’ heads at last night’s MAFS reunion. The 29-year-old’s dramatic dress choice had tongues wagging and people scrambling to get their hands on the red hot number. Credit cards were clearly working overtime in living rooms across the nation as the $40 Bianca and Bridgett number sold out in minutes. The Aussie label, run by Melbourne sisters Bianca and Bridgett, announced the dress was one of theirs on Instagram during last night’s reunion. At 8pm, just an hour after the program went to air, the Aussie designers updated their post, saying “THIS DRESS HAS NOW SOLD OUT AND WILL NOT BE RESTOCKED SORRY LADIES XX”. The website list’s the dress as sold out in both colours.

It’s not the first time the infamous alumni has sparked an online shopping melee, as a Supre-esque camouflage mini-dress the 29-year-old opted for in February sold out online after the episode went to air. Ines is no stranger to causing a stir with her outfit choices first sparking interest in this infamous episode. Photo: Channel Nine The dress featured a front-zip which in turn featured heavily in the seduction process that MAFS viewers were forced to endure. Ines’ dress wasn’t the only one that had people talking last night – after Martha and Cyrell’s explosive wine fight many expressed concern for Martha’s high-end Prada dress, but as one fan put it: “She who wears a white dress shouldn’t throw red wine”.

It's the Married At First Sight recap! It's the season finale and the whole gang is back on the couch for a shock-filled, expletive-laden group therapy session. It's the Married At First Sight recap!... Married At First Sight bride Liz Sobinoff has been left humiliated at the show’s reunion ceremony after footage of her “husband” Sam Ball making hurtful and disparaging remarks about her were aired to the group. Liz, who left the show early on following Sam’s “affair” with Ines Basic, attended the reunion ceremony solo after her “ex-husband” decided to skip the event. Sitting on the couch alone, Liz swore and gasped as she heard for the first time Sam slam her weight and claim she had been making unwanted sexual advances towards him. “I’ve never really dated girls as big as Elizabeth in the past, to be honest,” he had told producers shortly after meeting Liz at the altar. “Maybe I’ll get her running in the mornings with me. Maybe drag her outta bed with me. I don’t know. She’ll be right. We’ll get her going. She’ll be fine.” Later, Liz saw how on a boys’ night out Sam claimed she had tried to seduce him by sticking her thumb in his mouth. “Elizabeth is making moves, it’s like piranhas attacking my face. And I’m not into it. So I reach the hand up, I sorta go to push her away. So she grabs the hand and she just goes like,” Sam said, miming Liz forcing his thumb in her mouth as the other male contestants laughed. “She’s just loving it. I was not turned on at all.” After the footage finished, a furious Liz exploded at the experts, labelling Sam’s comments behind her back “despicable” and accused him of trying to “belittle” her. “What the hell is that? You just met me on the wedding right, OK. You judge me by my appearance, that I’m a larger girl, I'm a heavy girl, OK,” she fumed. “So what is he setting the tone for all women out there — you’re not worthy enough if you’re not what? A size six, or below? “You’re not worthy enough, you don’t deserve the time of day, you don’t deserve any of that. I am just appalled that he would just make it so free to comment on a woman’s weight, that to me is absolutely despicable and disgusting … he’s just going around saying she’s a fatty who wants to bang me.” But not everyone agreed with Liz, with Mike Gunner jumping in to defend Sam’s behaviour. “Hang on a second, he shouldn’t have said those things about your body, that’s unfair,” Mike interrupted. “But put it this way I’ve seen the way you treat me, so I’ve seen how you behave. I can only imagine you drove him away with that behaviour, that’s the truth of it.” But Ines took issue with Mike’s comments, telling the group she felt just as blindsided as Liz did. “But did you have a relationship with Sam? Did you spend time alone with him in a room? Do you know him like she would know him, seen sides of him, or like I have?” she snapped at Mike. After footage of her affair with Sam was played, Ines apologised to both Liz and her “husband” Bronson Norrish and admitted she felt played by Sam. “I chose to see the best in him but like Liz said he says one thing and does another,” a tearful Ines said. “It’s sad because, you know, some of the things he promised me were huge, and it just sucks because, if you tell a girl that you want to be with her, let’s live together, and then you just ghost her, there’s gonna be a lot of repressed emotions there.” Viewers were firmly on Liz’s side after the footage of Sam’s comments aired, with some even going so far as to blame Channel 9 for airing some of his harsher comments. Uh oh, I actually feel sorry for Liz! And I've got a dead black heart!#MAFS — I'm42 (@TheCraigles60) April 8, 2019 One has to feel sorry for Elizabeth here.

Viewers have gotten a first glimpse at Married At First Sight's dramatic vow renewal and reunion dinner party. Viewers have gotten a first glimpse at Married At First Sight's dramatic vow renewal and reunion dinner party.... Married At First Sight’s most controversial villain is returning to the reality show, and judging by a new preview, it’s going to be nothing short of dramatic. In a trailer for the MAFS vow renewal and dinner party reunion, Ines Basic strides her way into the gathering on her own, greeting the other contestants with a cool “hi”. Ines, who was “married” to Bronson Norrish, left MAFS early on in the season after a short-lived affair with Sam Ball. Both of them decided to leave their partners and the experiment at the same commitment ceremony, however Sam got cold feet on Ines’ proposal to continue their relationship in the real world. The one-time secret couple have since engaged in a bitter war of words over their affair, with Sam claiming it was staged by producers. But Ines has maintained their secret tryst was 100 per cent genuine, making graphic claims about what “went down” between the two during their night together. It looks like Ines’ return to the reality show will be emotional for the legal assistant, with the 28-year-old wiping away tears at one stage of the reunion party. Also back at the MAFS reunion party is Elizabeth Sobinoff who was “married” to Sam and oblivious to his affair with Ines until he came clean about it at their last commitment ceremony. “He’s going to wish he was never born,” Elizabeth says at one point, in what can safely be assumed is a reference to her one-time TV husband Sam. The explosive preview also gave us the first look at the rumoured “glassing” that takes place. To be fair, though, it looks like more of a wine-throwing rematch between Cyrell Paule and Martha Kalifatidis, this time minus the face mask. Martha rushes away from the table with a red wine stain on her white dress while Cyrell charges after her. The fiery reality star, dubbed “Cylone Cyrell”, is then restrained by Sam and Mike Gunner. Married At First Sight continues on Sunday at 7pm on Channel 9.
