Let me start off by saying, I was really excited for this year’s season of Married at First Sight.
Don’t fight me but it is hands down the best reality TV show on Australian television during the summer/autumn period (The Bachelor takes the winter/spring spot, of course) and I look forward to it every year.
And for one good reason: drama. Constant drama.
WATCH: MAFS Experts: UNCUT.
But this year, I’m mad.
During previous seasons, the drama builds over the course of the three months air time and we have to patiently (and happily) sit through weeks of dinner parties and commitment ceremonies to see which couples go the distance.
BUT THIS YEAR, we already know all those details and we’re nowhere near the end of the show yet. And it’s all because the bloody contestants are sharing all the spoilers before it goes to air.

The old ‘paid actors’ theory. This would be the end of any actors career, I don’t know why people think they would ever do it. And as soon as someone found a headshot online - so about 1 minute after the promo aired- the show would have lost all credibility.
Unfortunately these are all real people.
Surely by now most of Australia knows it’s watched purely for the trashy drama. This really isn’t a show looking to pair two people searching for “one true love”. It’s just a reality soap opera - like “Home and Away”..... scripted but without the talent. The premise was interesting, but the outcome disappointing. I fear “Farmer Wants a Wife” is going to be more of the same. 😔
At least FWAW has a relatively decent track record, some of the couples have married and had kids, so they're way ahead of MAFS there!
That’s true. But from what I remember of the last series of FWAW, they were choosing plastic city girls for farmers who live in remote rural areas! Recipe for heartbreak right there.
