Married At First Sight fans have slammed Clint Rice after the groom took a brutal swipe at Sydney’s Western Suburbs.
Clint’s harsh words were uttered in the dramatic Reunion episode on Sunday night that saw him finally reveal that he was in a relationship with Jacqui Burfoot.
Tensions were certainly high at the final soirée of the experiment, particularly between the newly minted couple and Jacqui’s ex Ryan Donnelly.
Ryan, wanting to get to the bottom of the genesis of the relationship, took Clint aside when he arrived at the event alone.
While expectation was high that they would arrive together, Clint stepped in solo and Ryan quickly took him aside to get clarity on the situation.
While he didn’t give a direct answer, Clint made it abundantly clear he wanted nothing to do with Ryan.

As the dinner party progressed, Clint and Ryan continued to trade barbs and after Jacqui announced she was moving to Tasmania to live with Clint, Ryan had enough
‘I know you’ve been messaging me and trying to claim that we’re mates. We’re not f***ing mates,’ he spat.
As the dinner party progressed, the pair continued to trade barbs and after Jacqui announced she was moving to Tasmania to live with Clint, Ryan had enough.
‘I’m sick of looking at you – p***s off back to Hobart,’ Ryan spat.
When Clint replied that he didn’t live in Hobart, Ryan doubled down with: ‘Mate whatever Tassie hole you crawled out of just crawl back into it.’
Keen to flex his alpha male credentials, Clint then had a dig at Ryan’s hometown.
‘Mate you live in the Western Suburbs. Lets not talk anymore,’ he said as Jacqui gleefully giggled.
He reiterated the sentiment to producers, adding: ‘Mate, don’t go there.
‘If you want to have a flex I’ll send you some pictures because I’m not in the western suburbs in a one bedroom s***house.
‘Mate whatever Tassie hole you crawled out of just crawl back into it,’ Ryan shot at Clint
‘If you want to have a flex I’ll send you some pictures because I’m not in the western suburbs in a one bedroom s***house.’ Clint said
Clint’s harsh words did not sit well with fans, who took to social media to slam the reality star
‘Jacqui’s gone from a Kia to a Ferrari,’ he continued.
Clint’s harsh words did not sit well with fans, who took to social media to slam the reality star.
‘How dare Clint absolute degrade a whole demographic. As Ryan says “be gone”,’ one fan offered while another jumped in with: ‘Clint really thinks he’s better than anyone else’.
Another took umbrage with Clint’s comments, because of the house prices in Western Sydney.
‘Clint saying Ryan’s home is a “one-bedroom s*** house, but it probably cost the same as his Tasmanian mansion,’ they wrote.
Another viewer took a similar approach, writing, ‘Haha Clint couldn’t afford to by a one bedroom s***hole in the western suburbs #mafs’
The Western Suburbs comment did not sit well with another viewer who wrote: ‘Clint talking about a s***house in Western Sydney and offending probably 99.9% of the viewers’.
‘Any house in Sydney can literally buy a mansion in Hobart. Get a grip Clint,’ added another property-minded fan.
It was a sentiment echoed by another angry fan who added: ‘Someone tell Clint that If he must know, Ryan’s “western suburbs“ home will always be worth more than a mansion in Tasmania – that’s Sydney real estate for you ‘
‘How dare Clint absolute degrade a whole demographic. As Ryan says “be gone”,’ one fan offered while another jumped in with: ‘Clint really thinks he’s better than anyone else’
Despite all of the barbs, Clint and Jacqui shocked fans when they announced their engagement on Sunday
One fan was clearly unimpressed with Clint’s ‘flexing’ suggesting he, like Jacqui, needs to work on his ‘punchlines.’
‘It looks like Clint from #MAFSAustralia attended the same lame school of coming up with memorable (not) punch lines as Jacqui. They will have a great time together,’ they wrote.
Another slammed Clint’s comments and behaviour.
‘For a 45 year old man, Clint is a juvenile,’ they opined.
Despite all of the barbs, Clint and Jacqui shocked fans when they announced their engagement on Sunday.
In footage shared to TikTok, Clint is seen on one knee popping the question to his ladylove, 29, before producing an impressive diamond ring.
It wasn’t long before an elated Jacqui said yes, scooping up her hunk and planting a joyous kiss on his smiling lips.
Later in the footage, Jacqui proudly flashed her blinding diamond ring to her adoring MAFS fans as she grinned with glee.
