Wollongong financial planner Jack is still 'processing' the turmoil of Married At First Sight

Monday night's episode revisited Season 9's best and worst moments, gave closure and answered questions "left hanging in the air", according to expert John Aiken.

As viewers are waltzed through recaps of wedding ceremonies accompanied by a dramatic symphony, we wonder if this is a ploy by the experts to bring that warm and fuzzy feeling back to the couples who had previously called it quits.

Thankfully not so for Selina who revealed she felt "foolish" for thinking Cody was falling in love with her (we all knew that girl could do better when his slightly chauvinist undertones began to show).

In Episode 36 on Sunday night, we discovered the Illawarra's Mr Nice-Guy Jack had split from his bogan princess Domenica, and of course we had to wait until the end of the finale to find out if it stayed that way or whether words of encouragement from the experts swayed them otherwise.

"It's been a crazy experience, such a roller-coaster," Jack told the Mercury prior to the final show airing.

"Both filming and after it watching it all back, reliving every ... emotion possible like absolutely heart-warming to stressful."

The experts ended the series telling Jack and Dom it was evident romantic feelings still "lingered" between them, but Jack shot that down in a second when speaking with the Mercury.

He said the "weirdest part" was watching the final cuts on TV and seeing how producers have edited mountains of footage and conversations into an hour-long episode.

Jack took three months off work without pay to pursue a quest to find love, on a reality television program he'd never seen, but at least he gave it a shot.

"I'm still single, I'm still going through the emotional roller-coaster of filming and all that ... it's very tumultuous at times," he said.

"It doesn't mean that I'm not looking for someone eventually but at the moment I'm not actively looking."

While some may mock and laugh at the awkward moments around period sex or embarrassing frolics with adult toys, or the ridicule he went through from his bride and others (Olivia comes to mind), the Mercury office thinks Jack is an all right bloke.

In fact, Mr P, our anonymous mega-fan from the office, said Jack was the kind of guy he'd let his daughter date. Bless.

It's no surprise his mum Monica has been his "biggest fan", and phoning him every other day to debrief on the antics of those with plumped lips and overly styled hair.

Thankfully Jack did not need to have a tricky conversation around what Only Fans was, as dear Monica already understood how the subscription service for adult content worked.

"She knew, and wasn't surprised by the episode either," he said.

Of the drama that unfolded surrounding nude photos of Dom that were circulated by Olivia, Jack said he could have never imagined anyone on the show to "stoop so low".

Being "apart of TV land" was very overwhelming at times, he said, of how open you had to be with cameras around you whilst watching the season and reliving past torments that were filmed months ago.

Of the split with Dom, Jack said they still had "such a tight, close bond" but they also recognised they were never destined to be together long term, which leaves the sandy-blonde, slightly balding guy single and but not yet ready to mingle.

You won't find him lining up to be the next Bachelor or undergo a makeover on Beauty and the Geek either (he does love his "nerdy" science-fiction programs) as Jack said he's very much done his dash for dating shows.

But if you do see him walking his dogs alongside his Nonna around Wollongong, give him a wave.
