Who are the experts onMAFS2024?

The power of three will return with relationship experts Melissa Schilling and John Aiken, along with sexologist Alessandra Rampolla all coming back on board.

What drama has happened onMAFS2024so far?

Plenty. It looks like the 10 new couples paired together for the reality show dropped to eight when groom Simon Flocco quit the series. The experiment had hopes of arranging a same-sex match this season, but quit the show before his wedding.

The Adelaide-based restaurant manager reportedly "ruined" the series' planned storylines because he "kept having doubts" and "[expressing] his discomfort".

"Producers, hungry for a groundbreaking narrative, persuaded him to stick around. That’s why he was at the bucks [night]," a source told So Dramatic.

"He kept telling them that he didn’t feel comfortable about certain things but was eventually talked into staying."

Simon told Daily Mail Australia that "MAFSwasn’t what I thought I wanted at this point in my life, that’s all."

"I just felt bad for whoever they set me up with. I did initially leave, but they managed to coax me back [before leaving again]," he continued. "Gotta look out for myself."

It looks like Simon and hisMAFSgroom Michael, who was left "hopeful and anxious" while producers scrambled to find him a new match, will be edited out of the season.

And according toYahoo Lifestyle, groom Tim Smith was spotted walking out on his wife back during filming in 2023. Escándalo!
