Well… Married At First Sight is over for another year. So what are we expected to do with our lives now?  In an explosive finale episode that took approximately 7 years to air on our televisions, we got to see all the couples discover exactly how much they now hate each other and who’s been attacking who on Instagram.  It turns out; Steve still doesn’t understand how he hurt Mishel, Connie believes the experiment has made her a better person and Stacey continues to lie about her one-night...

With only a few days left until the explosive finale of award-winning documentary series Married At First Sight, we’re on the edge of our seats. This week, Mishel finally had an awakening, dumping Steve on national television before throwing her ring on the ground (which the producers ran to pick up because they need that for next season).  And in the 700th ‘final’ dinner party, things got heated after Vanessa dropped a massive bombshell on the group and exposed yet another cheating...

Well, we’re definitely at the pointy end of the season now and Married At First Sight has never been so deliciously dramatic. This week, best friends Hayley and Stacey were reunited and got on like a house on fire…. Not.  Plus, Ivan had gossip that he absolutely wouldn’t reveal so instead muttered, “that’ll change” obsessively whilst staring at the wall...Okay.  And the final dinner party was everything we hoped for… full of honesty, awkwardness and cringe-worthy moments. Clare &...

Married At First Sight stops for no one… especially not a global pandemic. Regardless of what’s going on, MAFS will continue to be our dose of weeknight trash, that serves as a reminder of all that is good in the world. This week, Jonethen tries to leave the experiment for the third time and Connie, don’t you understand, he doesn’t want to be here. Plus, KC and Drew’s homestay goes down like a lead balloon after her family waste no time asking the most intimate questions about their...

Sometimes we think MAFS couldn’t possibly get juicier but then it turns around and surprises us. This week, Ivan called out the experts after he’d had enough of their intimacy questions. And all we’d like to say is...Trish, we told you so.  Speaking of Ivan, he was absolutely heartbroken when Aleks didn’t jump for joy at the plate of meat and one breadstick he put together for their date. And in other news, the dinner party lived up to its usual dramatic standard and exposed both a big sex...

So we’re almost halfway through this season of MAFS and can’t decide if we want to look away now or forever hold our peace. This week, Hayley and David became the first couple to be forcibly removed from the show. They just couldn’t be trusted with each other’s toothbrushes. And joy of joys... Lizzie is back! This time, she’s been paired with Seb who’s obsessed with making robot noises and speaking in random languages…. okay. Plus, Steve tells Mishel that he doesn’t find her attractive....

We’re rapidly losing couples but there’s no shortage of drama on MAFS. This week, David and Hayley continued to pretend they weren't being held together with glue and string. Vanessa and Chris aren't happy with each other so they decided to leave the experiment...not that we realised they were there anyway. And there’s a cheatin' scandal that involves a pooey toothbrush.  All will be revealed when Clare & Jessie Stephens unpack the drama... This episode was brought to you by the...

Last week on MAFS we were privileged to witness the first dinner party and this week, well...the bar was raised as Hayley stepped in to offer her services as the show’s fourth expert. And it’s not surprising things got heated with everything that happened this week...   Amanda proved she doesn’t understand consent by demanding intimacy from Tash, which we all know is the one way to guarantee zero intimacy. David and Hayley have gone from hating each other to eating bacon in lingerie and...

It’s been another whirlwind week on the award-winning documentary series Married At First Sight. Ivan is the first person we’ve ever met who doesn’t know how to pronounce his own name. He’s also super rude to his mother, who just wants to play the piano and sing her heart out on national TV. Speaking of mothers, the MVP this week has to be Connie’s mum. Pretending to hate everything about MAFS but then sitting front and centre at her daughter’s fake wedding with her hair and makeup...

It's official. The ick factor in the mansion has hit an all-time high and Rachel, Keryn and Renny are not impressed. After a few too many close-up pash sessions, finger-licking chocolate dates and foot rub antics, it seems that this seasons' romancing has taken a turn for the cringe. It's safe to say we're all a bit grossed out. Plus, the rivalry between Abbie and Elly has officially reached a breaking point. Tensions in the mansion well and truly alight… This podcast was made possible by...

Rachael gets the boot after she's been caught sneaking around with a crew member and it's left Matt salty and his trust broken. But was the controversy another typical staged moment at Bach HQ? Or when the cameraman gets involved, is it the real deal?  Plus, it wouldn't be a week in the mansion without a healthy dose of contestant rivalry. This time around it's between Abbie and Elly. But it seems one of the girls might not be as committed to this showdown than the other. Got a hunch on...
