But Andrew Jones turned attention towards the show's psychologist John Aiken on Friday, claiming he promoted drama at the sake of the couples' relationships.
Taking to Instagram, the 38-year-old reposted a snap the relationship expert had shared days earlier, questioning: 'Does your psychologist froth on things getting ugly?'
The Perth firefighter then continued: 'Is he/she into revenge and payback?!!' before warning 'You might not be getting your money's worth'.
The comments were in relation to a picture of Andrew and former TV wife Cheryl Maitland, which John shared to social media Monday.
The post appeared to reference Andrew's actions on the show, before teasing that his other half would get her own back.
The accompanying caption read: 'Are things going to get ugly between Jonesy and Cheryl tonight? Perhaps a little payback?'
John's original post to Instagram, which featured different images but the same caption, attracted close to 170 likes, with many of the comments aimed at Andrew's behaviour.
However, some users appeared to be on Andrew's side, also questioning the psychologists role in helping the contestants.
'So everyone makes a big hoo-ha about Andrew's behaviour at the dinner party. Yet you as ''experts'' are prepared to dig up the boys night and watch Andrew get a slamming?' one person wrote.
Another fan weighed in: 'I thought the same, poor move by the experts, they are bullying him and destroying his credibility, for what? ratings.'
In another picture of Andrew and Cheryl that John shared before Tuesday night's finale, the psychologist again referenced the drama telling fans to 'Brace yourself' in the caption.
He continued: 'What's going to happen to these two when the boys night footage gets revealed? MAFS final tonight. #9married #marriedatfirstsight #brocode #awkward #crunchtime #defensive'
Fans hit out at the relationship experts conduct, claiming the show's psychologists manipulated situations.
'Experts - be ashamed you stooped to the level of manipulating the truth for ratings at the expense of a living, breathing human!!' one user wrote.
Another emphasised the contestants treatment, stating: 'These so called "experts" are meant to care for the well being of all the people on the show. The manipulation of scenes is unreal, which has caused unnecessary bullying, attacking and b******t hatred!!'
Andrew was touted as the black sheep of the fourth season when he shocked viewers by mocking second bride Cheryl behind her back at an infamous boys night discussion.
It is not the first time the show's psychologist has been called out over social media either though, with former star Clare Verrall also vocal about John's former comments.
Last month she expressed her disbelief over an exchange the psychologist had on Twitter when a viewer asked why the experts don't intervene when drama unfolds.
John had simply replied 'because' before adding 'all will b revealed (sic)'.
Clare questioned the show's duty of care in her post, writing: 'This guy is literally the worst. Why, oh, just 'because.''
