MAFS' Gabrielle hailed a 'hero' by viewers
Fans of Married At First Sight have rallied around Gabrielle, calling her a 'hero' and 'queen' for standing up to 'husband' Nasser during last night's episode.
The plus-size model voted to stay on Sunday night's show, completely aware her TV hubby wanted to leave.
She wasn't going to let Nasser get away with leaving her all alone during their home stay last week.
The 50-year-old opted to leave saying he was 'sorry' but just felt the romantic 'chemistry is not there'.
However, in a shock move a 'stubborn' Gabi opted to stay telling her husband, "Bad luck, Donald Duck." Boom.
"The reason I'm choosing to stay is I am very proud of how I came into this," the 44-year-old said. "Extremely committed and I vowed to myself that while there was a crack of light, I will stay until there is darkness."
Gabi was insistent she was going to leave the show on her own terms.
"I am not leaving this experiment until I'm ready," she added.
Viewers hailed Gabi as a hero on social media.
Good on u Gab for showing Nasser that “Nasser doesn’t always get what Nasser wants” 🙌🏼 👏🏼 He deliberately sabotaged that homestay week out of spite for making him look bad at the previous commitment ceremony..grow the fck up! #MAFSAU #MAFS

However, others questioned why Gabi would want to stay with Nasser for another week.
WHY!??? Why does Gabi want to torture herself with him for another week!? #MAFS

Nasser is a selfish eccentric but Gabrielle is insane for perpetuating the relationship. I lost all respect for the credibility of the program. @MarriedAU #MAFS

We'll have to wait and see how this turbulent relationship plays out.
MAFS continues tonight at 7.30pm.
