Gabrielle Bartlett was left heartbroken on Married At First Sight last week, after Nasser Sultan abandoned her ‘home stay’.
But on Sunday night’s episode of the show, the blonde bride enacted the ultimate revenge on her well-moisturised ‘husband’.
The 44-year-old voted to STAY in their relationship, knowing Nasser would want to leave.
Revenge is a dish best served cold! Gabrielle Bartlett had the last laugh on Sunday’s episode of Married At First Sight, tormenting her ‘husband’ Nasser Sultan by opting to stay in their relationship
That’s awkward! Nasser did not see Gabrielle’s decision coming, and it left him stunned
‘He’s selfish, he’s a quitter. Not only do I feel like he’s checked out, a large part of me feels like he’s never checked in,’ she explained early in the episode in a private piece-to-camera.
And sure enough, during the commitment ceremony, Nasser revealed he was ready to give up on his relationship with Gabrielle.
Revealing his decision, Nasser stated: ‘I’m so sorry, Gab. You know I love you as a friend and I’ll always love you as a friend but I feel the chemistry is not there and our communication is not connecting. And with great sadness, I want to leave.’

The exercise instructor believed Gabrielle would similarly opt to end their relationship, after her disappointment in him over the past week.
But in a delicious twist, the actress and plus-size model dropped a bombshell.
‘I know that Nasser is very, very stubborn. I know that and I’ve been wearing that. But I’m also stubborn,’ she said as she flipped her card around to reveal the word STAY.

She continued: ‘I vowed to myself that while there was a crack of light I will stay until there is darkness.’
Nasser was left ‘gobsmacked’ and appeared to have tears in his eyes.
It was then that Gabrielle unleashed a tirade against her ‘husband’.
‘Let this card remind you of who is sitting next to you. And I’m not a doormat. I can be very selfish when I want to and this is what I want so this is what I’ll have.

‘I want you to be open, I want you, for the quality of your life going forward, for your own sake, step outside your comfort zone.’
She then harshly quipped: ‘He talks about how he’s about to go back to his rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle, but I’m telling you It’s not that rock ‘n’ roll, babe.’
Seemingly devastated, Nasser conceded that he would try and give the relationship another shot.
