Another wrote: ‘Can we kick Bryce off MAFS now please?! This abusive behaviour is not okay and it’s just getting worse!’
Someone else added: ‘Yo @MarriedAU, time to kick that flog Bryce off the show. You need to forget the ratings and send a stronger message on what can and cannot be accepted behaviour. Sort it out.’
One more said: ‘I feel like they brushed over Bryce kissing Bec very quickly! If Bryce got that close to me I would need to burn the clothes I was in, at least two therapy sessions and take 800 showers to get over it.’
Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Channel Nine for comment.
