MAFS' Bryce claims he was "stitched up" by producers

Apparently he was told to do things that others weren't. - by Catie Powers

Last night's episode of Married At First Sight saw the brides and grooms rate each other from most attractive to least attractive. And yes, it was a recipe for disaster. 

WATCH: MAFS' Bryce ranks Melissa the fourth most attractive bride

During this confession week episode, some of the MAFS grooms were given photos of all the show's brides and asked to place them in order of most attractive to least attractive, and vice versa for the brides. 

While some couples passed the test with flying colours, others didn't get off scott-free.

In particular, controversial Bryce Ruthven hit a nerve with his bride Melissa after he placed her photo fourth in line.

Melissa took the ranking to heart, saying "fourth place... you don't even get a medal for that'. 

Now, radio announcer Bryce has come out and said that he was "stitched up" throughout the exercise.

Speaking to B105'S Stav, Abby and Matt, Bryce revealed that while he was told to rank the women in terms of who he thought was the most attractive, other grooms were told to order the brides a bit differently.

During the confessions challenge, Bryce ranked Melissa fourth in terms of attractiveness.

"I was told it had to be attractiveness, others were told personality." the 31-year-old told the radio station. "So we were sort of told mixed things and, unfortunately, they were stitching some people up and I think I was on that board."

Bryce went on to say that he thinks he's been set up throughout the entire series, explaining that when the other grooms told him that he'd been stitched up in the challenge, he lamented "whatever, it's the way it's gone for me so far anyway". 

The radio announcer has had his fair share of controversies since the show aired.

Bryce received backlash after he told Melissa she wasn't his type.

His first slip up was when he confessed to his bride Melissa that she wasn't his type.

During the first night of their honeymoon, after the workplace trainer asked her groom if she was his usual type, Bryce replied with an extremely blunt answer. Perhaps too blunt.

"I'll be completely honest, not 100%. I've always gone for the blonde hair, blue eyes and tan kind of girl. Someone who is usually taller. I can't 100% say that if I saw you in a bar I'd come up and buy you a drink, because I don't know.

"When I saw you I was like, 'Not my type, but she has blonde hair, she's not ugly'"

Since then, Bryce has called his ex "the devil" has been accused of being a cheater live on air. 

Let's hope Bryce can turn his MAFS journey around and leave the show with a fairytale love story.
