**Contains spoilers on Married At First Sight Australia season 12**
We're just days away from the final vows on Married At First Sight Australia, and we couldn't let the series end without giving a shoutout to our fave girl of the season, Jamie Marinos.
Since season 12 started on E4 back in March, we haven't stopped laughing (and more recently crying) because of the 28-year-old account manager from Victoria.
From standing up for her mates and defending herself at the dinner parties, Commitment Ceremonies - you name it, and just being a bundle of energy, we've loved watching all of Jamie's moments.
So, as we say goodbye to season 12, with the final vows set to take place on Monday 5th May and Tuesday 6th May, here's a list of all of Jamie's best moments on MAFSAU.
The "red flag" list
In Jamie's audition tape, she humorously revealed her "red flag" list, which included very specific dating icks, such as men who drive hatchbacks, men who wear crocs, and men who don't drink coffee. "I can't deal with men with hatchbacks," she said, adding that men need to "smell fresh" because she has a big nose and will be able to smell them more - major lols.
Wedding day spark
I mean if you ever wanted to go on MAFS and were worried about the reaction your bride or groom would have, well Jamie would be the perfect match. Upon meeting her groom, Dave Hand, Jamie's enthusiasm could be seen instantly. After saying that she wanted someone with tatts, Jamie's reaction to Dave's neck tattoo was: "Yes! Sold, sold, sold."
She went on to say: "Iām full of love coming out of my arse right now."
Unfiltered honesty
One thing about Jamie is she stood up for her friends, and was quick to call out things she didn't agree with. She stood up for Katie Johnston at the first dinner party, she supported Lauren Hall, following her and Eliot Donovan's break up, and she was quick to point out that Veronica Cloherty could be being a little harsh on Eliot after he shared that his sister had been in a coma in his personal letter.
During the first dinner party, Tim G claimed that his wife Katie hadn't asked him any questions to get to know him.
Speaking on the other side of the table, Jamie said: "I feel like the whole script has been flipped, I saw your face Katie, and I was watching the whole time, and he was like, 'You didn't ask any questions and you didn't do this.' I can see what is going on. I'm not stupid ā it's a freaking gaslighting move."
Following the episode, Jamie said she wish she went "harder" on Tim, explaining: "I just knew it with this man. Womenās intuition is real. And Iām so glad I went as hard as I did. Honestly, Iād go harder."
She added: "I connected straight away with Katie, Ash and Awhina. They were just the three really bubbly, down to earth, and I think real definitely recognises with real, and I connected to them quite instantly."
Taking accountability
Jamie standing up for others and herself didn't always go down well...
During the couple's retreat, Jamie ended up arguing with Lauren after her and some of the other brides questioned Lauren about her second marriage to Clint Rice.
Lauren said that she had no interest in speaking with the other girls about her marriage and stormed off, calling them "losers" and "bogans". She later called Jamie a "troll".
Carina Mirabile felt that Jamie had been "aggressive" and that the girls were acting like "mean girls" towards Lauren, leading to a brief fall out between Carina and Jamie.
At the next Commitment Ceremony, the experts questioned Jamie about this and she said that she was "protecting" her friends like she sees "mama bears" do. Sexologist Alessandra Rampolla didn't agree and shut down Jamie's behaviour, and the self-aware, mature queen that she is, Jamie took accountability for her actions and apologised to Carina.
"Never settle"
Six weeks into the experiment, Jamie told Dave that she loved him, which was the beginning of the decline in their relationship. Instead of saying it back, Dave said: "I don't hate the girl" and admitted that his feelings weren't there, hence their lack of intimacy.
Jamie was heartbroken and the pair almost didn't make it to home stays. Dave managed to turn things around, however, with the pair leaving the experiment in a marriage, but by the reunion, which aired in Australia on 1st April, the pair had gone their separate ways.
Alongside a glamorous picture of her from the reunion, Jamie said: "To all my girlies, a reminder to never settle for a man that simply doesnāt deserve you. Donāt stay just because of the good times, the fear of being alone or not finding someone better (you will).
"You deserve to have your needs met, you deserve for someone to show up for you and for someone to love all of you, literally all of you. You are never too much, they are simply not enough."
Jamie and Eliot's friendship
Since the show, Jamie and Eliot have been hanging out and sharing lots of hilarious TikToks. Fans are convinced they have chemistry and an anonymous MAFS contestant pretty much confirmed they're a thing. The duo are yet to confirm anything, but we love their videos together.
In one TikTok, Eliot appears in his briefs, and a bowtie, while answering the phone and then Awhina Rutene, Beth Kelly and Jamie all pop up behind him, emulating a Charlie's Angels moment while a soundbite from Charlie's Angels plays.
More of this, please.
That iconic speech
Following the show, Jamie was captured at a Billie Eilish concert in Melbourne giving fans a speech about disrespectful men.
"F*** these men that are going to disrespect the women out there," Jamie loudly proclaimed.
"F*** these men, f*** these men."
"Don't let men disrespect you, and you have the girls' back, but you know what? Sometimes men need defending too, so you defend them too," she said in another video.
Fans flooded the comments on TikTok, with one saying: "Love her for not only sticking up for the girls but the guys as well. Happy spouse, happy house."
Another said: "Jamie for president."
We stan a queen - and Jamie is exactly that!
Married At First Sight airs on E4 Monday to Thursday.
