"MVP of this season" — Married at First Sight: Australia fans applaud Dave for calling out Paul’s behavior

Although Season 12 Episode 20 of Married at First Sight: Australia sparked strong reactions from fans, Dave was the participant who stood out for all the right reasons when he pointed out Paul's inappropriate actions towards Carina which he confessed during the extravagant dinner party. Despite the hesitancy of many individuals to speak up, Dave didn't hold back and made it obvious that Paul's behaviors were inappropriate. He received a lot of applause from the audience and other cast members for standing up with Carina.

After a fight with Carina, Paul had been criticized for punching a hole in the bedroom door after his partner played a song by one of her former boyfriends. Even though he eventually expressed regret, many believed he did not fully accept responsibility.

Dave's response, however, was refreshing because he ensured Paul realized the seriousness of his behavior. Dave was praised for speaking out against Paul by fans on social media.

A Married at First Sight fan on X wrote,

"Dave is truly the MVP of this season. This man has not put a toe out of line. Not once. #MAFS #MAFSAU"

Another admirer shared,

"Dave was the first one to speak up against Paul and used his words perfectly to send through the message. He was also the first one to pull up Ryan when he made that vile comment about Jacqui. Absolute King 👑👑👑#MAFS #MAFSAU"

"I love Dave & now crown him King of mafs for being the first to speak up by calling out Paul on his shitty lack of restraint #MAFS #MAFSAU #MAFSAustralia #MAFSAUS," a tweet from an X user read.

More fans of Married at First Sight: Australia shared similar praise for Dave for calling out Paul at the dinner party.

A fan posted on social media,

"Shocked that the group didn’t have more to say about Paul’s aggressively violent outburst. Appreciate Dave for saying something because unfortunately it takes men calling out other men for change to happen. #MAFS #MAFSAU"

"DAVE AGAIN BEING THE BENCHMARK AND CALLING OUT PROBLEMATIC MALE BEHAVIOUR #mafs #mafsau," another post on X read.
