As scenes from the latest dinner party aired on Wednesday night, fans expressed their frustration with the experts on social media, claiming they consistently take Grace's side.
The couple arrived at the dinner party separately, with the 31-year-old midwife arriving first to discuss their disagreement with other guests before Ash's arrival.
As the drama unfolded during the dinner, expert Charlene Douglas commented: “I believe Grace's main point is that she simply wanted an apology.
“If Ashley could acknowledge the hurt he caused her, it would significantly improve their current situation.”
The other experts concurred, further frustrating fans who felt they were unfairly targeting Ash while continuously supporting Grace.
On X, one viewer remarked: “I really dislike how the experts are against Ash.”
Another stated: “The experts always favor Grace, and I can’t stand it!”
While one user added: “Get these “experts” off my TV; this is ridiculous!”
“How can they keep siding with her? The compliment didn’t land because she seems to be a joyless person!”
Some viewers even began to speculate whether Grace had ulterior motives in sharing their issues with the group.
One commented: “Here we go, Grace is trying to turn EVERYONE against Ashley simply because April picked him in a hypothetical scenario.”
This follows a disagreement showcased in Tuesday night’s episode, where Grace took issue with a compliment Ash made in the bedroom, saying it made her feel “unsettled.”
She expressed: “It’s just more of the same jokes. I don’t appreciate it.”
A confused Ash replied: “It was meant as a compliment. Have you ever considered that you might be misinterpreting it?”
“I genuinely feel like I’m making a real effort to change the way I communicate, but the only thing I’ve asked you to do is to see me for who I truly am.”
Grace interjected, saying: “I can’t handle this. We’re just going in circles, as we always do.”
Ash later shared in a confessional: “This girl will never see me for who I am, and if that’s the case, what am I even doing here?”
He told her: “I’m upset because I feel like I’ve done everything possible to change your perception of me. I’ve come to a realization that I don’t think it’s going to change.”
Speaking to the cameras, Grace then stated: “He doesn’t take responsibility. We clearly need some time apart because I’m starting to feel frustrated.”
