Tyson Gordons Regret and Anti-Woke Stance Revealed

Married At First Sight intruder groom Tyson Gordon has admitted he's 'disappointed' in himself after watching his wedding day back - but insists he was simply being his 'true self' despite the backlash.

Speaking to Daily Mail Australia on Tuesday, the former Australian soldier, 30, said the episode was 'quite confronting' to relive, particularly the repeated moments where he spoke about 'masculine' and 'submissive' energy when describing what he wanted in a wife.

'Oh mate, where do I start? It's quite confronting watching that, quite frankly,' he said.

'I'm sort of a little bit disappointed in myself. I feel like I could've maybe handled that whole situation a little bit better.'

Tyson, who raised eyebrows during Monday's episode by questioning whether his bride Steph Marshall was 'woke' and later calling her 'frigid' after the photo shoot, claimed producers pushed him to repeatedly discuss the same topics on camera.

'I did get a little bit manipulated by the producers a little bit in regards to the whole masculine and submissive energy thing,' he claimed.

'They were constantly asking me questions about it… and it just looked like I kept saying it, minute after minute.

'I just wish it got said once and that was it, as opposed to like 20 times - because I'll tell you what, I was watching the show and even I was starting to hate myself.'

Despite his regret, Tyson insisted he would not change who he is - and suggested he only wishes he'd raised some of the more controversial topics later, not on day one.

'Looking back on it, I could've maybe been a little bit more accepting towards Steph,' he said.

'So I probably wouldn't have really brought up the masculine and feminine energy thing and the whole submissive thing as well… that could have been something that got brought up later on.

'But other than that, I wouldn't really have changed anything because I'm just being my true self.'

Tyson and Stephanie, a 32-year-old real estate agent, entered the experiment as intruders this week after a dramatic shake-up saw multiple couples implode, including Rebecca and Steve, and Brook and Chris.

Their wedding immediately erupted into tension after Tyson used his vows to warn he would have 'a problem' if his bride embraced 'woke culture' - before later admitting he got 'woke vibes' from her appearance.

Asked about the lack of women on his side of the aisle, Tyson dismissed accusations it was a red flag and said he'd deliberately made the guest list a 'boys' gathering.

'I was actually gonna have some female guests… there's actually two females I was gonna bring to my wedding,' he said.

'But I chose to make it a bit more of like a boys sort of get-together… I could only bring a certain amount of people.'

Tyson also insisted he genuinely signed up to find love - and claimed he expected the experts to match him with someone who met his 'criteria'.

'I was expecting someone, yeah, I was definitely expecting to find someone on the show,' he said.

'But yeah, unfortunately… that just didn't really happen.

'Steph's actually not a bad person… but the connection and the attraction for me just wasn't personally there.'

While Tyson conceded some of his comments about Stephanie's career ambitions 'didn't come out right', he doubled down on wanting a 'traditional' family dynamic once children arrive - before suggesting he felt Stephanie wanted him to become the stay-at-home parent.

'No, I don't think those comments did come out right… I could've worded things a lot better and I didn't,' he said.

'If she's got a job, it doesn't really bother me… but when I do start a family one day, I just want that traditional wife that would stay at home, look after the kids - and once kids grow up, go back and be a career woman… that's fine.

'I think it came across like, 'You must stay home and cook and clean,' when that wasn't really the case.'

He then claimed he got the 'vibe' Stephanie wanted to be the breadwinner after she joked about him becoming a 'house husband'.

'I was just getting that sort of vibe where she wanted to be the breadwinner and me be the submissive one… which is not something I'd want to do,' he said.

But Tyson's most explosive comments came when he attempted to explain what 'anti-woke' means to him - launching into a rant about immigration, the housing crisis and gender transition.

'We've got a housing crisis, we've got a cost of living crisis right now. We're bringing half a million people into Australia each year,' he said.

'It just makes zero sense… we don't have the room and the infrastructure to accommodate them.

'I'm not saying I'm completely against immigration, but we've got to focus on the Australian people first.'

Tyson also insisted he has very few friends with opposing political views.

'Do I have any woke friends?… not really,' he said.

Still, he vowed he would 'spice things up' at the dinner parties - hinting the intruders will not be slipping quietly into the background.

'You can definitely expect I'm gonna spice things up, for sure,' he said.

'There's gonna be a lot of drama… tune in 'cause it's gonna be interesting to watch.'

Despite his polarising opinions, Tyson said he had no issue with the season's same-sex couple, insisting it 'doesn't bother' him.
