Hang on to your fruit bowls and suspend any remaining belief in the sanctity of marriage, because Married at First Sight2020 is well underway.
We’re seven seasons in and yes, the experts are still trying to palm this off as a “social experiment” and we’re no longer mad about it.
To date, we’ve had countless couple swaps, one smashed fruit bowl, lord knows how many broken wine glasses, and only three couples who have stood the test of time: season one’s Erin Bateman and Bryce Mohr, season six’s Jules Robinson and Cameron Merchant and Martha Kalifatidis and Michael Brunelli.
We’re well and truly into the new season ofMAFS,and we can confirm the rumour mill is in overdrive. Think: cheating scandals, fights and breakups.
Now allow us to fulfill your drama-loving appetites.
Josh and Cathy are over.
Another one bites the dust.
In a brutal post shared to Facebook, Josh seemingly confirmed his split from Cathy after complaining about the way he was edited in the show.
During their hometown date, Cathy accused Josh of throwing her under the bus after Josh’s mum brought up the couple’s issues at lunch.
“What a terrible edit, f*ck it, I’m calling [my] mum,” he wrote on Facebook.
“F*ck me dead on a Devon sandwich. [Producers] left out the [entire] lunch and I had the old hugs and kisses back [from Cathy afterwards].MAFS[has] f*cked me in the backside. Should’ve went onSurvivor.I’ll never do a TV show again.”
In the comments on the post, Josh’s mother Mandy accused Cathy of being a “paid actress employed by producers”.
Another family member commented: “We did well to keep our gobs shut until now! Cathy is playing a victim! The tears, definitely trying to get onHome and Away.She’s playing her role, well, sort of.”
Speaking to TV WEEK , Josh also admitted that Cathy left the show for an entire night after Josh told the experts at the commitment ceremony that he was worried they were ‘just friends’.
“Cathy went out and didn’t come home for the entire night,” he said.
“I was worried sick about her. The producers didn’t know where she was.”
Elizabeth was paid A LOT to return to the show.
FormerMarried At First Sightcontestant Telv Williams revealed the stars get paid a daily rate of $150, tax-free on the reality show.
For returning contestant Elizabeth Sobinoff, it was reportedly a little higher…
Um. Some leaked texts hint that Michael asks out KC after things end badly with Stacey and WHAT.
Instagram can be blamed for the majority of this season’sMAFSspoilers. In a leaked text message thread, Stacey and KC appear to have an argument over KC getting drinks with Stacey’s on-screen husband, Michael. Despite the 31-year-old asking for Stacey’s permission, the Daily Mail reports KC and Michael had already met 10 days before.
“I spoke to Michael a couple [of] days ago, he asked how I was, we had a chat, he said he was coming to Sydney and if I wanted to go meet him for a drink,” read KC’s message.
“I said if I do I would first ask you… Not sure I will but I do see Michael as a friend but that’s it.”
Stacey appears to be displeased, saying that Michael previously called her “trash” and “a bad mother”.
“Told me he was going to ruin my life,” wrote Stacey.
“He has [not] apologised, he hasn’t even reached out, his MOTHER reached out and wished me and [my] boys happiness.”
In a separate interview with Hit FM’s Fifi, Fev & Byron, KC hints she ‘hooks up’ with someone after the experiment.
“Have you hooked up after the experiment?” asked a host.
“You know everything is going to reveal itself after the experiment,” replied KC.
“The one thing that bothered me is I never ever, ever cheated on my husband during the experiment and, I know he will be the first one to back me up on that,” she said, adding of Michael: “We always got along super well and yeah that’s all I’m going to say about it.”
After additional pressing, KC maintained her silence on the matter but she didn’t deny anything either.
“So mark that down as a yes,” they joked.
It also goes to show Stacey and Michael definitely don’t last but we kind of already knew that.
Speaking toDaily Mailabout KC and Michael’s rumoured affair, Stacey said: “KC was my friend. She went behind my back and proceeded to see Michael after he broke my heart. KC and I are no longer friends.”
In a previous interview, Mikey (who left the experiment with Natasha) told news.com.au that he and Stacey have a “one night stand” during filming.
“I can confirm we did have sex, but it was clearly after Natasha and I had agreed with producers that our relationship was over, and Natasha knew we weren’t together,” he said.
“I actually didn’t want this (story) out as it’s not the best way to end my time on the show, but it did happen,” he continued, suggesting that their encounter happens during the show’s reunion episode.
Things don’t look great for KC and Drew.
In the same text message thread, KC confirmed that she and Drew were no longer together.
“Honestly, now Drew and I talk like friends and it’s nice. We don’t talk a lot but when we do it’s fine. I have zero feelings for him now,” she wrote in messages attained and published by the Daily Mail .
It sounds like their split takes place before theMAFSreunion, meaning their relationship may disintegrate when the couples leave the experiment to continue their relationships in the ‘real world’.
