Married at First Sight: A definitive list of all of Ines’ WILD quotes

I don't even think I was conscious at the time...

Meet Married at First Sight’s Ines Basic, a 28-year-old legal assistant from Brisbane, QLD.

We’d say she’s really happy to meet you, but in the case of this firecracker, it would be definitely stretching the truth.

Expert John Aiken describes her as a “genuinely fun, focused, smart lady in there – ready to find a husband…”

“She’s brutally honest and headstrong, but that is deliberate to prevent herself getting hurt, because she’s had to look after herself all her life,” he says.

Ines experienced a difficult upbringing after her family fled Bosnia during the war in the 1990s – and this included watching her mum give birth to her younger sister in a refugee camp.

Ines’ husband, Bronson Norrish, 34, lived a very different life as a stripper, but is now an entrepreneur.

He has a huge heart, always sees the positives in life and owns a party boat – and seeing as though she describes herself as “super straight down the line and super honest,” Ines was unimpressed by her husband when she met him at the altar.

As she said in the very first episode: “Some people will not like me but I don’t really care.”

Not backwards in coming forwards, Ines speaks her mind, yells the truth and doesn’t care how you feel about it… especially if you’re her husband. #PrayforBronson

With this, we present to you a definitive list of all the wild things Ines says – and trust us, this is just the beginning!

When John Aiken asked Ines how she felt about her behaviour during the first commitment ceremony, Ines’ response was, well, interesting. “Yeah, I mean it all happened so fast? Like, I don’t even think I was conscious at the time,” she said.

Twenty-Seven

John asks Ines “what she needs from Bronson moving forward.”

“I need some fun and some laughter, like I’m one of those people that laugh at everything. So, I think we just need to have fun…” she said and duh, she’s a barrel of laughs!

Twenty-Six

One thing’s for sure, Ines is very unaware of her behaviour. “Oh I look so nice, I feel like cutting this photo in half and leaving myself in it because I look nice,” she said holding up a snapshot from their wedding day. “I would love it if Bronson could process what happened last night and if he could prove as a person…because if he thinks I am the problem, he’s so wrong.”

Twenty-Five

Expert Mel Schilling stated the obvious when she said: “Guys, things have obviously fractured between you. So I guess I’m just wondering why, why are you here at the moment?”

“Umm…I wanted to fall in love, umm… yeah I just wasn’t expecting it to be with that.” Ouch.

Twenty-Five

During the commitment ceremony, tensions were high between Ines and her husband.

“I don’t want him f – – – – ing touching me. I don’t want to be in the same room as him. I think that says it all,” she said. “I mean, if anyone here wants to give me their husband, then give it to me…” she said in front of everyone.

Twenty-Four

At the commitment ceremony, Ines appears to be “unhappy” with her husband.

“I’m going into this commitment ceremony with full-blown depression,” she says. “I’m emotionally & mentally drained from having this liability attached to me,” she said.

Twenty-Three

During dinner, Ines tells the group that she thinks that “this year will be different” and that everyone is bound to swap partners. “I wouldn’t be surprised if this turned into a massive sex party.” As everyone, including the experts are horrified, Ines says: “I’m not saying this is what we’re doing…I’m just saying. I get premonitions. I can feel like this is going to happen.”

Twenty-Two

And it looks like she is NOT letting the whole “stripper past” go. “You can sort of tell my husband looks like a porn star right? Don’t you reckon he looks like an absolute porn star? Everyone looks so good together and there I am looking over at my husband and I’m like, ‘what happened here?'” Looking for a new husband, she says: “If anyone would like to donate me their husbands, I would definitely like to have a discussion with them about it. It sounds like a really good plan.”

Twenty-One

Before the commitment ceremony, Ines has some sage advice for her husband. “Bronson needs to put in more work, just to like please me, really” and then later says, “if I had a husband that I actually liked, I’d be hooking up with him all the time.”

Twenty

Clearly overwhelmed and petrified of this activity, Ines tells Bronson that he should go first, and ever so eloquently wishes he would disappear. “I’ll watch you, and if anyone has a knife so I can cut the rope, watch Bronson sail away into the sky…” she says.

Nineteen

In the most disturbing honeymoon ever, we watched as Ines complains her way through a choppy boat ride.

“I think Bronson thought that I was just being dramatic,” Ines tells the producers. “I was actually like serious. I didn’t feel well like mentally, emotionally and spiritually.”

Eighteen

Ines discovers that she and Bronson don’t connect on any level and in the middle of a wildlife park says: “I might do some meditation or something. I wish there was a chair to sit on…” and ummm.

Seventeen

Arriving on their honeymoon, Ines is surprisingly happy with their accommodation.

“Like, I’m not impressed that easily, usually,” she said.

Sixteen

“So you’ll just definitely be sleeping on the couch,” Ines tells Bronson when they get back to their hotel.

“Bronson is really large. He is so big and this is a double bed…We won’t fit and I just don’t think I’m ready for that.” (All images: Channel Nine)

Fifteen

It seems Ines didn’t marry for love or money…but the children. After discussing his stripper past, she had a few questions.

“I just want to know if you’re capable of providing for my unborn children,” she says to a horrified Bronson. “Are you ready for that.” After he asks how many does she want, she says: “How many you can afford…” and oh lordy.

Fourteen

“I’ve been in some really bad situations in my life and I’ve never taken my clothes off for money…Who I date and marry is a representation of myself,” she went on to say. “This is mortifying, it’s like purely disgusting.” Looks like she’s not getting over it any time soon.

Thirteen

One of the main issues Ines has with Bronson is the fact that he used to be a stripper.

While Bronson is very open about it, Ines cannot get passed, well, his past.

In fact, when he explains he’s no longer a male entertainer, Ines says:

“What he just said doesn’t make any sense. It’s like saying ‘Yesterday I was a heroin addict and today I’m not’.” “Like I like respectable people,” she said. “And that to me is just like, yeh…”

Twelve

Nothing was said here, but Ines certainly went for it…

Eleven

As debate team captain… we mean, in her wedding speech, Ines was robotic and matter of fact. And after she finished, she made sure Bronson was well aware of her intentions. “When do I get my ring?” she said.

MAFS 2019: Ines asks Bronson to remove his eyebrow ring

Ten

“I’m getting a very inbred vibe,” Ines said of her new husband. And oh.

Nine

Bronson’s vows were short and sweet, and referred to himself as having “country boy charm”, but Ines was having precisely none of it. “It just doesn’t turn me on,” she said.

Eight

“When he smiled, I first wanted to punch him in the jaw,” Ines said. “I don’t know why it just feels like my instincts.”

Our instincts are saying that she is totally “unimpressed”.

Seven

When Bronson and Ines first meet, she is not backwards in her distaste for his “Britney Spears so having a mental breakdown in 2000” eye-brow ring.

“Hi Bronson, can we get rid of your eyebrow ring please?” “I don’t know anyone who has an eyebrow ring…except for lesbians.” Later she says, “The eyebrow ring..like it’s so disgusting. It’s so nineties boy band, they’re done.” Ummm…

Six

Just before her wedding, a producer asks Ines “What are you feeling right now” to which she responds, “Umm, I feel like… horny” which is a very strange emotion…

Five

Ines hoped for an instant attraction with her new husband: “When I look at him, I want to be like ‘Yeh, like I would pounce on you,” and then added, “I hope he looks at me and thinks, ‘Yeh I would totally root her.'”

Four

While getting her makeup done for the wedding, Ines tells her makeup artist: “When my husband sees me, I want him to think that I’m a little snack – like a cupcake.” Well, you can’t fault her confidence!

Three

When referring to her sister, who is four years younger than her: “I’d say she is more developed than me.”

One

“Some people won’t like me, but I don’t really care,” she says when describing herself.

Two

“The way I see it, Tinder is like going through your rubbish bin.” So, no to online dating then, Ines?
