There are some things you need to know.
Firstly, Justin Fischer, otherwise known as the fake-millionaire from last season of Married at First Sight who spoke about nothing except his non-existent yacht and his ice-cream business, has done a very important interview with Daily Mail Australia and offered some gossip about co-star, Troy Delmege.
It would appear the interview was simply a bid to plug his ice-cream business, Brullen, which gave away free soft serves for two hours on Sunday.
Cool.
We’re pretty sure Justin only went on Married at First Sight to draw attention to the business, and to try and sell his experimental wife, Carly Bower, an ice cream machine she didn’t want/need.
But none of that matters now, because Troy is having a tough time and Justin decided to tell us all about it.
You see, IT manager Troy is now dating Justin’s ex-fake-wife Carly, and they live in Melbourne together and occasionally drop hints that they might have a baby soon. But since the show ended, according to Justin at least, Troy hasn’t been able to find a job.
“He’s still out of work and finding it hard to get employment,” Justin said. Troy is reportedly considering moving back to Sydney, due to the lack of work in Melbourne.
And apparently Troy isn’t the only one.
The Married at First Sight audition tapes. Post continues.
“I know a few of the guys are struggling,” Justin said. “I know Patrick [Miller] is back into work now, but he was struggling for a little while.”
Dean Wells, who was the villain of the series, has also reportedly struggled to find employment in the last few months.
Justin added that most of the cast are still single and he doesn’t know why.
“We’ve got this good platform now in the public eye, and we’re all struggling to meet people… I think there’s like 20 people from the show still single, what’s the go with that?” he asked.
The only two contestants who are known to be in relationships, are Tracey Jewel and Davina Rankin.

Why he is bringing this up now is beyond me but certainly sounds like he hasn’t had enough of the 15 minutes of fame he got
The employment situation is actually a series issue, particularly for people who are displayed as villains. I saw a doco, and Q&A on people who have been presented as such, and the real life ramifications are shocking.
The public don't see a manufactured TV show. They think what they are seeing is actually what the individual is.
(Obviously the greatest example of this was a reality show that for it to make sense, had to make its host be a self-made, mega-successful, business entrepreneur. But their viewers didn't think it was just a manufactured TV show; people believed it was real.)
...Which is why people with real jobs and careers tend not to go on reality TV shows. It's really only there for people who want a gateway into being famous for being famous, or extra exposure for an already established fake career (such as SM "influencer").
