He added that he was “totally committed” to Jamie during the experiment, explaining “It’s a bit ridiculous that people would think that, but yeah, it definitely goes against my morals.”

What Veronica’s said
But what did Veronica have to say about it all?
Well, in an interview with Yahoo the MAFS Australia cast member made very clear where she was at with the Dave and Jamie situation.
“I find it so hilarious that this whole thing is circulating in this way. I’ve actually been abstinent for almost two years,” she said.
“I think everyone is just looking for someone to blame, to be honest, and I’m an easy target given how everything’s been unfolding for me recently.”
On the logistics of it, Veronica added “Also, you have to remember, I’d just been back from Melbourne, I did the retreat, did the dinner party, did the commitment ceremony, and I was exhausted. So to hang out with someone else was quite refreshing. That’s all it was.”

Despite the apparently unfounded rumours, Veronica went on to speak very highly of Dave, explaining “We get on. So it’s good. I am having a good time. I’m not going to deny that. It’s a stark contrast to my relationship with Eliot.”
Ultimately after the experiment neither MAFS’ Veronica and Eliot nor Jamie and Dave managed to make things work, with both pairs breaking up before the finale episode.
Speaking on the decision, Jamie said in an interview “You can’t glorify bare minimum behaviour. You can’t say yes to subpar treatment. We all deserved better – and I think a lot of us were settling.”
We hear you, Jamie!
She explained “I do think he respected my emotions. But I don’t think he liked being the bad guy. He thought it was easier to keep me sweet – but when you’re not honest, you actually end up becoming the worst guy.”
While we’re sad things didn’t work out for the two it definitely seems like it was for the best on both sides.
