Save for Mike Gunner, Michael Goonan just might be one of the worst contestants in Married At First Sight history, so there has been little sympathy for the multi-millionaire, two-timing, refrigerator salesman as his wife Stacey Hampton tries to milk him for all that he is worth, even going as far as to request the “Hollywood life” and a “credit card”.

But before he can say his final “I do” to the plump-lipped lawyer, Michael wants to make sure that Stacey is chasing more than just $$$.
“Stacey is really, really materialistic … She wants a Hollywood lifestyle, but I can’t keep up with that,” he said.
For their final date (yes, the experiment is finally coming to an end), Stacey told Michael she wanted an all expenses paid shopping trip, a VIP experience in Sephora, and a fine dining lunch – even a trip to Dubai. ‘Onya Stace.
“I think Michael will pull out all the stops today, so I’m quite excited,” she said.
But the schemer had other plans mainly because MAFS producers have been forced to stretch out already overdone storylines to keep some dollar bills coming into Nine during these trying times.
He made her think he was taking her out in a luxe sports car by leaving a Lamborghini car key as a clue, but waiting underneath the Sydney Harbour Bridge was Michael and his sweet ride.
“Lamborghini? Not today,” Michael joked. “Welcome to the biggest heap of sh*t driving on the road that you’ve ever seen. What a heap of junk.”
“I know this girl puts on the pretentious front, but can she be realistic? Can she be down to earth? What’s her attitude gonna be like when she rocks up thinking we’re in a Lamborghini when we’re in the biggest sh-t heap on the planet. How’s she gonna handle that? That’s gonna give me a pretty good insight into the girl that I could potentially be with for the rest of my life,” he said.
“Stop. This isn’t funny,” Stacey said when she spotted the old jalopy.
“I can’t, I can’t. This is disgusting. My dress is gonna get dirty. This is embarrassing.”
They drive the rusty Toyota Corolla to the side of a busy highway where Michael makes Stacey get out to have a roadside picnic.
“Are you for real? This is definitely not the date I had in my head,” she said.
“I’m getting eaten by bugs, I’m wearing Valentino on the side of the road sitting on a $20 Bunnings chair.”
” Today has been about taking you out … and showing you that you don’t need a flash car and expensive lunch to show how good of a time we can have together. That’s pure passion you’re feeling right now is overwhelming, and that’s called love,” Walt Disney Michael said.
When he felt like he had finally proven his point, he whisked the lawyer away for a surprise dinner and an overnight stay in a Palm Beach mansion.
