‘He’s carried the season!’ Married At First Sight fans praise Michael Goonan for ‘stirring drama’ while others slam him for interrogating Aleks Markovic
Married At First Sight fans are torn over self-proclaimed ‘Bond villain’ Michael Goonan’s behaviour on the show.
During Wednesday night’s episode, Michael interrogated Aleks Markovic about her relationship with Ivan Sarakula after she ‘friendzoned’ him in the previous episode.
On Twitter, fans slammed Michael for repeatedly pestering Aleks and Ivan at the dinner party but others praised him for his entertainment value.

‘If Michael is the moral compass of this group, I’m out,’ one viewer wrote.
Another viewer said: ‘Why is Michael literally that one girl in your year 8 class who got off on stirring up drama.’
‘Can Alex pull a Martha (Kalifatidis) and chuck wine on Michael, he deserves it,’ another viewer wrote, referencing last year’s feud between Martha and Cyrell Paule.
Michael became the series villain after he allegedly cheated on his on-screen wife Stacey Hampton by kissing another contestant, Hayley Vernon.

Not happy: Fans were not impressed with Michael’s behaviour at the dinner party
Despite the scandal, some viewers praised him for bringing drama to what was otherwise an uneventful dinner party.
‘Michael is the biggest demon of all time but let’s be real he has carried this whole season on his back [and] there would be no show without him,’ one fan wrote.
‘Unpopular opinion: Michael is awesome… Haha this show would be so much more boring if it wasn’t for him,’ another fan said.
Meanwhile, another viewer said: ‘Is Michael a secret producer who’s been planted into the group? He’s stirring the pot like a professional.’
