Yep, in a clip for Gogglebox Australia 2024, Izzy told her mum that Ruby was conceived while she was watching MAFS with her husband Alex Richards.
“You know she was conceived watching MAFS,” Izzy told her mum Kerry Silbery. “We couldn’t pause it because it was live and I was ovulating so we just had to push through.”
“It’s only natural she’ll like this show,” she added.

Jack Dunkley’s treatment of his TV wife Tori Adams has shocked fans so much that we’ve got a body language expert to decipher exactly what went down at that bonkers MAFS Dinner Party.
In short, Lauren Dunn exposed Jack for telling Jonathan McCullough that he wasn’t attracted to Tori, and for saying that if another husband got her in the couple swap, they could sleep with her.
At the Dinner Party, Tori stood by Jack and passed her husband’s disrespectful comment off as a joke, but, according toCombined Communications Specialist and Body Language Expert Scott Taylor, things weren’t exactly as they seemed.
MAFS. Nine.
“Whilst Tori said she accepted it was a joke her body language was not congruent with that,” Scotttold Chattr. “Tori showed eye blocking and withdrawal behaviour as this continued to evolve. “
Later, when Eden, Michael and Cassandra took to the couch and tried to explain why Jack’s comment was disrespectful, Scott said that Tori’s body language suggested ulterior motives for being on MAFS.
“When Tori sat down on the lounge she changed to twisting her ring, which is emblematic of her discomfort and likely reflecting on the related commitment,” he said.
“Her subsequent responses and actions could be due to motivations to just stay on the show rather than fully work through the relationship dynamic issues.”
MAFS. Nine.
What did Jack’s body language show?
Going into the Dinner Party, Scott believed that Jack knew his comment about Tori would be the talking point of the night.
“I believe Jack knew his words were potentially going to be shared as he maintained a closer watch over Tori and was tracking her movements. He even repeatedly called her to him but was unsuccessful,” he said.
Scott said that when Lauren first bought up the ‘Couple Swap’ comment, Jack’s body language demonstrated that he was trying to intimidate her.
“Jack needed to try to divert focus so he started showing more direct and confrontational eye contact with Lauren,” he explained.
MAFS. Nine.
“When Jack was questioned by Lauren he made a grab for under his neck (covering that power zone) which is what people do when they have severe discomfort – covering a vulnerable area.”
“Jack continued to get more defensive but was thinking he would try to outsmart everyone but then threw in swearing when he felt trapped and realised he couldn’t.”
Though there were multiple times in the episode where Jack sat back in his chair and appeared smug, Scott said that the MAFS groom’s fury was written all over his face.
“Jack showed true anger through aggressive chin thrust, eyebrows pulled down and together with his lower his eyelids pulled up. The margins of his lips were rolled in and tight and this is textbook strong anger,” he said.
“His full defensive response showed with sneering and tensing of jaw.”

It’s safe to say that tonight’s MAFS Dinner Party was an absolute doozy and sweet baby angel Cassandra Allen has some thoughts about it.
ICYMI (in which case, drop everything and head to 9Now immediately), Jono McCullough told his wife Lauren Dunn a huge bombshell that Jack Dunkley had mentioned at the gym.
MAFS. Nine.
“He said if there is a couple swap situation in this experience, that the boys have permission to sleep with his wife because he doesn’t want to because he’s not attracted to her,” Lauren said in a producer interview. Ooooft.
Of course, Jack’s married to Tori Adams, who was informed about Jack’s dirty secret at the Dinner Party. Lauren then confronted Jack at the table, who claimed he was only “joking”. Ha….ha?
Anyways, all hell broke loose and Lauren and Jack ended up having a screaming match at the table, and at one point, Jack told Jono to “put a muzzle on his wife”.
Tori ultimately took Jack’s side and blamed Jack’s comment on his dark sense of humour.
During an exclusive interview with Chattr, Cassandra told us she was understandably shocked by Jack’s comments about Tori and Lauren.
“I was like, I don’t know what these people where they came from or what they’re doing, but it’s not right,” she said.
“We definitely weren’t raised the same, I can tell you that. My parents – if I was behaving like that – my goodness!” She added.
Cassandra said that Tori is blinded by Jack
Tori has stood by her husband’s side throughout the experiment, which has raised the eyebrows of many viewers who believe that Jack is disrespecting her.
Cassandra said that she can only put Tori’s actions down to her undying devotion to her TV husband.
MAFS. Nine.
“Tori is head over heels, just blinded by love. She thinks the world of Jack and when you’re in that intense honeymoon phase of your romance, you want to do right by the person,” she said.
The MAFS bride said that Tori was so invested in Jack that she was okay with brushing off his comment.
“You let a lot of things slide… slide really far away. Tori was just in that, and he’s the one for her in her eyes and heart, there’s no one else better, she’s done. So she definitely stands by her man, very firmly. “

Ash Galanti has revealed what he really thinks of being paired with one of the most unpredictable MAFS brides ever, Madeleine Jevic.
As they exchanged vows at the altar, Madeleine told Ash that she was “weird” and “strange”, and their MAFS journey so far has certainly been that.
In an interview with Daily Mail Australia, Ash told the publication that Madeleine, who’s an actor-turned-medium, plays up when she knows she’s being filmed.
“She can turn it on very well… She’s really good at turning it on when the cameras are on,” he said.
Ash said that made him question whether she was on the show for the right reasons.
“I was like, ‘Is she genuine? Like, why is she on here? Is she acting?’ So it played into my doubts.”
MAFS. Nine.
Madeleine wasn’t what Ash was expecting
Ash told the outlet that tends to go for women with South East Asian features.
“She wasn’t what I was expecting,” he said. “When I turned around, I was like, ‘Oh, wow, like she’s definitely beautiful. She’s really good on the eye’. But in terms of what I asked for, in the looks department, it’s not normally what I go for.'”
Madeleine’s huge personality has been portrayed on the TV show, and Ash said that she’s exactly the same in real life.
“[She’s] absolutely as wild as I remember,” Ash said of watching the show back. “The proof is in the pudding. Watching the way she goes about things, I think you need to be a patient type of guy if you’re going to work in a marriage with Madeleine.”
“To be honest, at the wedding, it was like an out of body experience. Though my body was there, I wasn’t really picking up all the signals.”
MAFS. Nine.
Ash was perplexed by some of Madeleine’s actions
In the first two episodes that she appeared in, Madeleine managed to burst into tears in front of Ash while looking at cows and told him that she loved him at the vows.
MAFS. Nine.
“That’s pretty weird, telling someone you love them when you first meet them,” Ash said of their wedding.
He also questioned what the medium cried when they were walking around a winery and came across a bunch of cows.
“I was like, “Why is she crying over looking at cows?” He said.

Tori Adams and Jack Dunkley’s sex life has been one of the main storylines throughout MAFS 2024.
Jack has made it abundantly clear that he’s not attracted to Tori, and doesn’t see a spark between them. Meanwhile, Tori hasn’t made a secret of the fact that she’d like to rip Jack’s clothes off. Which is… a lot.
Now, Tori has confirmed that she and Jack do indeed get down and dirty.
Tori said that even though she and Jack revealed they’d slept together, many of the other cast members didn’t believe that they had gotten intimate.
“I’m pretty sure they (the cast) were all like, ‘Nah’. And I actually think Timothy [Smith] turns around and he says ‘bullsh*t’,” Tori said.
“You’re damned if you do, you’re damned if you don’t.”
Sooo… how did it go?!
After such a long ‘will they or won’t they’ lead up, we obviously want to know the details of how it all went when Jack and Tori finally did the no pants dance.
Fortunately for us, Tori dished the deets.
“It was our decision alone and it was absolutely worth the wait. We were never going to do anything because we felt the pressure of the group,” she said.
MAFS. Nine.
“So you know when it did finally happen it was a moment that we shared because we wanted to share it and we felt like it was the right time.”
The MAFS bride said that she and Jack thought their castmates would stop asking about their sex life once they revealed that they’d done the deed, but it wasn’t the case.
“We’re gonna tell them and they are going to just drop it. So I guess yeah, the thinking it would shut them up,’ she said.
“It absolutely didn’t. They just kept going. I’ve never had a group of people so interested in my sex life.”

There’s no denying that Kelli Harris’ Australian Survivor journey was a ride, but Kelli says that she was playing up so that viewers could be entertained.
During Kelli’s time on the show, she was sent over to the Titans by her own tribe, received countless negative comments from her fellow castaways about her enthusiastic personality, and even got into a bit of a showdown with Valeria at her final Tribal Council.
But, while Kelli was certainly a lot to watch, during an interview with Chattr, the psychologist said that she was purposely stirring the pot to make the show more interesting.
Survivor. Ten.
“Production put me in the Rebel tribe for a reason,” she said. “I don’t like boring things and I don’t like them to be mundane why wouldn’t you stir the pot? I love comedy. So it was good to watch that play out as well.”
Kelli said that she used her experience as a psychologist to get under her tribemates’ skin.
“I knew exactly what dynamics were going on. I saw everything that was going on,” she said.
“What I’m what I’m brilliant at is understanding people, watching dynamics, seeing slight micro-level changes in alliances – from who gets served the first food to who asked someone if they want to come to the well – there are so many signs of these little alliances and I watched every single detail.”
“my whole job as a psychologist is to dig deep and trigger emotional reactions in people. And that’s what I did on the island, I wanted to trigger emotional reactions in people because I knew the audience would be triggered by that too and that would make for a great game and a great TV show,” she added.
Survivor. Ten.
Kelli on her spat with Valeria at Tribal Council
In recent episodes, castaway Valeria has been getting increasingly frustrated with her fellow players. Once, a relatively chilled contestant, her first sign of firiness was aimed at Feras during Charles’ eviction.
But, it was Kelli’s Tribal Council where Valeria really fired up, she accused the psychologist of throwing her alliance “under the bus” and told her she was going to “cope with the consequences”.
Survivor. Ten.
Kell said she wasn’t offended by Valeria’s harsh comment, but said she’d seen the fire in Valeria all along.
“I’d seen that side of Valeria. Valeria is obviously a businesswoman in her own right. And she’s used to calling in the shots, and I tried to come in and call the shots and I think Valeria just reacted very strongly to that,” Kelli explained.
“It’s her decision, and it’s her game, and she’s entitled to do that. But yes, I did see the evolving change in Valeria towards me, because, you know, from Valeria’s perspective, I was dumb and stupid, because that was the game that I played.”

MAFS‘ Timothy Smith didn’t hold back when he was asked about his thoughts on controversial couple Tori Adams and Jack Dunkley.
Timothy has repeatedly bumped heads with the pair, particularly at the Commitment Ceremonies where he’s questioned their attraction because they haven’t been sexually intimate.
At the first Dinner Party, it was revealed that Jack had a girlfriend when he applied for the show, and Timothy told Daily Mail Australiathe revelation was very telling.
“I don’t believe a word (he says), when he came out and did this big speech in Dinner Party 1 on how this ex-girlfriend was crazy and everything. I’m not buying it, Jack,” he said.
“If he questions my integrity, you’re damn straight I’m questioning your integrity, you little gnome,” he added.
MAFS. Nine.
What did Timothy have to say about Tori?
Tori has presented herself as being a strong woman on MAFS, however, for the most part, she’s stuck by her husband and hasn’t called him out on his dismal treatment of her.
Timothy pointed out that Tori’s claims don’t necessarily match her actions.
“I did happen to notice Tori boosting up on how big she’s a boss, bad b*tch. And I gotta say her mouth is writing checks her attitude just can’t cash,” he told the publication.
MAFS. Nine.
What does Jack have to say about Timothy?
Jack made it clear that he didn’t agree with Timothy’s comments about his and Tori’s lack of chemistry.
“I think you guys can work out that Timothy’s not a very credible person himself,” the MAFS groom said in an interview onBronte & Lakey for Breakfast.
“I’ve entered into relationships on lust and sex before and obviously they’ve failed me so, me and Tori took our time building an intimate space and trusting and respecting each other and feeling comfortable.”

MAFS fan favourites Cassandra Adams and Tristan Black have well and truly hit a speed bump in recent episodes, and everything hit boiling point at Madeleine and Ash’s wedding.
While the established couples were seated at the reception, Tristan and Cassandra started fighting after she said she was “bored”.
Tristan took the comment to mean that she was bored of him, however, during an interview with Chattr,Cassandra explained that the meaning behind her comment was actually more complex.
MAFS. Nine.
“I definitely could have chosen better words and delivered it a lot better to Tristan, but he’s just a strong communicator. He’s very fast, clear and sharp, and I’m the opposite,” she said.
“I sometimes take a bit of time to process some things and what I’m feeling well, and I didn’t mean it to come out like, ‘I’m bored’,” she added.
Cassandra said that she was, quite literally, bored at the wedding, and it made her think about where her and Tristan’s relationship was going.
“It was just everything; it was where we were at, it [the relationship] wasn’t moving forward. We’re bored at this wedding, there’s no music, there’s no dancing,” she said.
“Where is the excitement and passion in the relationship? And I think that just kind of bubbled up and I was bored at the table,” she added.
MAFS. Nine.
Cassandra’s thoughts on John Aiken
In Tuesday night’s episode, Cassandra and Tristan met with relationship expert John Aikento try and repair the fractures the fight from the wedding had caused.
Cassandra raved about the time with John and told Chattr that his advice was “so helpful”.
“That session on the couch, I was ready to empty my pockets like this man deserves everything, he is so good at his job,” she laughed.
“He’s a professional and he delivers the message like very clearly you can understand it as a regular Joe and straight away you can apply it into your relationship,” she added.
MAFS. Nine.
Cassandra said that John helped her see the relationship from Tristan’s point of view, and understand what he needed.
“He helped us out of this little ‘stagnant gridlock’ he called it, and I was like, ‘That’s exactly what we’re in!'”
“He just waved his magic wand and you’re just like, ‘Oh, we got that much better. We can breathe again. We can talk to each other again’. John is so brilliant.”
“I am listening to Tristan. But I’m not validating him and that was a big one. nd that’s what Tristan needed. So he kind of gave me the formula to Tristan’s head and heart.”

Professional athlete Ridge Barredo is finally ready to find the one to settle down with.
After years of playing the field and lugging around a ‘Playboy persona’, Ridge wants to commit to the right woman and says his parents’ loving marriage is what relationship dreams are made of.
According to his 9Now bio, he can be “loud, vain and cocky. With a collection of ‘situation-ships’ to his name, Ridge is drawn to women with ‘tidy rigs’ who do not take themselves too seriously.”
Ridge has placed his faith in the experts, who will (maybe?) find him the woman of his dreams.
Ridge. Instagram.
Ridge has been on reality TV before
However, it won’t be Ridge’s first time on reality TV. The 27-year-old appeared on the Australian dating show First Dates almost four years ago.
Plus, he’s also made some other non-reality TV-related appearances. Ridge has competed in two Commonwealth Games as a weightlifter.
In the 2018 games on the Gold Coast, he came 8th in Weightlifting and in the 2022 games in Birmingham, UK, he came 5th.
“5th place at my 2nd Commonwealth Games. 8 weeks ago I hurt my hip in training and had thoughts about pulling out and not competing because I wouldn’t be at 100%. I’m thankful to everyone in my corner who willed me to compete today. I did it for them #trainhardstayhumble,” Ridge wrote on Instgram in 2022.
As well as being a professional weight lifter, Ridge works as a psychiatric nurse. He graduated in 2020 with a Bachelor of Nursing degree from Western Sydney University.

It’s always interesting to get a glimpse into the real lives of contestants when they’re not on TV.
This is especially true for Survivor castaways, who are left on a beach to compete, strategise and vote each other off.
So, their social media gives fans a look at what they like to do when they’re not stranded on a deserted island.
According to their IG, the Survivor Australia 2024 cast is a mixed bunch, with a mix of doting parents, nature lovers and, of course, aspiring influencers.
Peep the Survivor Australia 2024 casts’ Instagram below.
Take a glimpse into the MAFS 2024 cast’s single lives, before they walk down the aisle on the popular reality program.
This year’s participants’ Instagram accounts are particularly juicy, some of them feature exes and most of them have numerous thirst traps on display for your viewing pleasure.
For the first time in recent years, we don’t have any huge influencers amongst the bunch. Only two of the participants – Eden and Cassandra – have more than 10,000 followers. Cassandra currently sits at 10.2k while Eden has 12.5k.
However, that is almost definitely about to change once the show starts airing. Many of the contestants from previous years have followers in the hundreds of thousands, with Martha K from season six leading the pack at 705,000 followers.
Check out the MAFS Australia 2024 Instagram accounts.
With so many different streaming platforms available these days, it can be confusing to know what show is on which app, which is exactly where Foxtel’s Hubbl comes in.
It effectively combines multiple streaming giants into one platform, which means you can watch Netflix’s Drive to Survive and Apple TV’s Ted Lasso, without so much as changing apps.
“Hubbl is designed to fuse the best local and global content, including premium entertainment and sports, video on demand and live channels into a single experience,” said Patrick Delany, CEO of Hubbl.
Ted Lasso. Apple TV+.
What streaming platforms will be available on Hubbl?
Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, video-sharing platform YouTube, Apple TV+ and Paramount+ have all signed on to be part of Hubbl. Local streaming apps Kayo Sports, Stan, BINGE, Optus Sport and Flash will also be available.
Stan, Optus Sport and Paramount+ will join the Hubbl platform soon after launch.
On top of that, users will be able to access free-to-air platforms ABC iview and ABC Kids, SBS On Demand, 7plus, 9Now and 10 Play.
Foxtel have also released a LifeStyle channel which can be accessed through Hubbl.
Drive to Survive. Netflix.
How do you use Hubbl?
There will be two variations of the super handy Hubble. One of them is a small black box that will plug into compatible TVs.
The more advanced option is the Hubble Glass, which is a TV based on the Hubbl operating system. It will come with a built-in sound bar that only requires an internet connection and a power cord, no other wires.
Hubbl. Foxtel.
When does Hubbl come out?
We don’t have an exact release date yet, however, Foxtel is expected to launch the new innovation in the coming months, so stay tuned!
Thirty-three-year-old Victorian Ash Galanti is paired with the ever-enthusiastic Madeleine Jevic on MAFS, but who is he?
According to his 9Now bio, Ash is a sensitive and caring guy who is often misjudged by women because of his tattoos.
He is tired of attracting women who walk all over him and “is looking for an authentic partner who is willing to accept him fully and have the relationship last beyond the initial love-bomb phase”.
According to his LinkedIn bio, Ash is a Customer Development Manager for a pest control company. He “Initiates project management for new client implementation and directs new sales initiatives. Manage large client relationships.”

Ash and his brother
Ash sadly lost his brother in 2020. In July 2022, he shared a photo with his brother to honour his birthday.
“Happy early Birthday brother. Today we celebrated for you. To say things have been hard since you left is an understatement,” the caption began.
“Grief and loss are complex, multifaceted, and multilayered. It’s hard to comprehend sometimes. I’m trying to keep my kindness & love. Some days are harder than others. It’s hard when this world can be so cruel, so hostile. I’m trying to handle things down here.
“Looking after mum, making sure the family stays intact. It’s a constant struggle. We are all trying to be better for you. I’m trying to love harder for you. If I could just have one more day with you, but I know that’s not reality. Happy Birthday, brother. Where ever you are just know you are loved.”
Ash and his brother. Instagram.
Ash lived in Thailand
Ash previously lived in Thailand and practised a lot of Muay Thai. During that time he spent time in Pai, which is on the border of Burma, as well as Phuket and Bangkok.
“Where I lived in Pai, Thailand was ghetto as f**k. Snakes, spiders & rats were a daily occurrence. I loved it. Living in straight up jungle.” he wrote in an Instagram post.
“It’s funny how I have gotten older material things mean shit to me. When I was in my early 20s I would stress over the stupidest things. Staying in a nice hotel, nothing was good enough I would find something to complain about and completely fuck it. Now I could sleep on a floor,” he continued.

Last night’s Australia Survivor tribal was one for the history books, as a challenge at the vote saw only three of the nine remaining Titans allowed to vote.
Heading into tribal, Kirby, Charles, Valeria, Kelli, Winna and Scott were in a strong alliance, and they had their eyes on Aileen and Feras to vote off. The only other castaway was Raymond, who was also teamed up with the minority alliance.
Kirby and Raymond. Survivor. Ten.
Things appeared to be straightforward enough, but that all changed when Jonathan LaPaglia told the tribemates that there was a (huge!) twist. Basically, all of the Titans would compete in a challenge, and only the three who finished it first would be allowed to vote, and the others would be vulnerable.
Kirby, Feras and Alieen secured their safety by winning the challenge, and the alliance’s power shifted to the minority. A split vote and the use of an idol from Winna resulted in Charles being sent home.
How does Charles feel about being sent home after the huge twist?
During a post-elimination interview with Chattr, Charles spoke about how he felt being the “collateral” damage that was sent home, despite forging a strong alliance and previously holding the power.
“It doesn’t feel great,” he said. “To be honest, I went into that tribal in a very strong position.”
“I spent a lot of time and effort building really strong social connections, and making social connections on my new tribe, we worked really hard to get in the position that we were in.
Charles was originally part of the Titans tribe, but after a shuffle up, his new tribe included only included two other OG Titans; Valeria, and Winna, leaving them in the minority. However, the trio built strong ties with Kelli, Kirby, and Scott, which gave them the power. Charles said the hard work put into these relationships didn’t pay off.
“I had some really, really tight connections with people on the new Titans tribe and a new type of rebels tribe as well. So going into merge, I thought that I was going to be in a really good spot.
“You do have to play the long game, and to have my long game cut short was pretty disappointing, to be completely honest. I’ll be thinking about that twist for a while to come.”
Does Charles think the challenge was created to keep Aileen and Feras?
It’s plain to see that Feras and Aileen are two of the Main Characters on Australian Survivor 2024, with both receiving a lot of screen time.
Australian Survivor. Ten.
The surprise twist shocked social media users, with many of them concluding that it was included in order to save both Feras and Aileen. When Charles was asked whether he believed that was the case, he said he wouldn’t “rule it out”.
“The survivor Gods work in mysterious ways. I don’t have any insight into how they work, or whether they have preferences one way or the other. I’d like to think that it wasn’t the case, but I can’t rule it out.”

The second Commitment Ceremony centred around Sara and Tim, (probably) just how the firey bride would have liked it too.
While some of the sweetest love stories, like Eden and Jayden and even Cassandra and Tristan were practically fast-forward through, we did get a healthy dose of drama.
So, let’s dive straight into the biggest bombshells of the night, shall we?
Ben and Ellie
Ellie revealed that Ben tried to drop out of the experiment when the cameras weren’t rolling. “Ben told me that I wasn’t his match and I was absolutely horrified,” she explained to the experts.
However, apparently, Ben changed his mind and decided that he wanted to have kids with Ellie. Soooo, they’re here for another week.
MAFS. Nine.
Ellie wrote: Stay.
Ben wrote: Stay (I do want kids in the future).
Verdict: They’re staying.
Tori and Jack
It was round two of Timothy vs Tori and Jack, which feels like deja vu from the last Commitment Ceremony.
Tori and Jack admitted that they still haven’t slept together, and Timothy basically said that their lack of intimacy reflects that their relationship isn’t in a good place. Jack tried to Alpha Timothy by asking him if he regretted his negative comments about their relationship, but Timothy didn’t take the bait and said he stood by his views.

Tori wrote: Stay.
Jack wrote: Stay.
Verdict: They’re staying.
Lucinda and Timothy
As John Aiken put it, Lucinda had “lost a little bit of her spark” when she sat down with the experts.
She was not impressed that Timothy had been involved with some of the drama at the Dinner Party that took part the previous evening.
Timothy said that he had “walls up everywhere”. He called himself a “disaster”. However, he took ownership of his behaviour and said that he would work on opening up more to Lucinda.

Timothy wrote: Stay.
Verdict: They’re staying.
Cassandra and Tristan
Cassandra and Tristan’s segment was, erm, extremely fast? But in their blink-and-you’ll-miss-it section of air time, Tristan said he loved Cassandra. Aww!
MAFS. Nine.
Cassandra wrote: Stay.
Tristan wrote: Stay.
Verdict: They’re staying.
Eden and Jayden
Speaking of love, Jayden shared that he’s “head over heels” for his bride. “He tells me every day,” Eden beamed.
Like Cassandra and Tristan, the happy couple got less than a minute of screen time on the couch, which is odd for a show about finding love. However, it leads us to believe producers are saving screen time for a showdown between Sara and Tim.
MAFS. Nine.
Eden wrote: Stay.
Jayden wrote: Stay.
Verdict: They’re staying.
Andrea and Richard
Once again Richard took his time on the couch to show-off about his sexual relationship with Andrea, which is.. a lot.
“We did intimacy week the week before Intimacy Week,” he announced coyly. Before adding “We gazed, we hugged, we [bleeped], we [bleeped].”
We’re assuming the redacted words were sucked and f**ked. Cool. Cool cool cool.
MAFS. Nine.
Andrea wrote: Stay.
Richard wrote: Stay.
Verdict: They’re staying.
Lauren and Jonathan
Jonathan looked devastated when he sat down on the couch. Lauren explained that she had been cold to Jonathan, and didn’t like the way she’s been acting.
After talking with the experts, Lauren came to the conclusion that she was self-sabotaging and scared of “being rejected”.
MAFS. Nine.
Lauren wrote: Stay.
Jonathan wrote: Stay.
Verdict: They’re staying.
Sara and Tim
Ahh, finally it’s time for the main event! To kick it off, Sara apologised for “the scene” that was caused at the Dinner Party. But, her apology didn’t extend to Tim.
Of course, Mel picked up on this and questioned why she didn’t apologise to her hubby Tim. “He yelled at me,” she exclaimed with a shocked grin.
Mel wasn’t happy and told Sara that her behaviour was “really aggressive” and that the experts were “in shock watching her”. YASSS Mel.
Unsurprisingly Sara absolutely hated the criticism and got defensive, but that wasn’t even the juciest moment.
Sweet angel Cassandra piped up and asked Tim if he was afraid of Sara, which ticked Sara off even more.
“Cass I’m sorry but you haven’t seen us in a relationship in the privacy of our own home,” Sara spat back with a clap.
Regardless of their massive issues, Sara and Tim aren’t going anywhere.
MAFS. Nine.
Sara wrote: Stay.
Tim wrote: Stay.
Verdict: They’re staying.

MAFS groom Tim Calwell has slammed claims that he was cheating on Sara Mesa with a Brazillian woman.
The allegations first came about in an interview with Sara on The Kyle & Jackie O Showwhen Kyle told the reality star that he’d heard that Tim had been unfaithful.
“I don’t know if this is true, but multiple people I know up in Queensland have said that this Tim has been rooting this Brazilian the entire time, all through the MAFS, all through the filming,” Kyle said.
Sara then seemed to insinuate that Tim will be involved in a cheating scandal when Kyle asked her if she was part of a rumoured upcoming “affair storyline”.
“No, well, I mean,” she fumbled. “I’m definitely not banging anyone else on the show. Something weird’s happening for sure, there’s a cheating scandal.”
MAFS. Nine.
What did Tim say about the cheating claims?
Tim has vehemently denied Kyle’s claims that he cheated on Sara while they were filming Married At First Sight.
“No, I wasn’t seeing anyone through the experiment. I was literally locked in, dialled in, trying to make our relationship work,” he toldDaily Mail Australia.
“I don’t know why, if she’s bringing that up… she’s trying to throw heat on my end to try and distract, maybe, from whatever going on in her ballpark.”
Tim says his relationship with Sara is toxic
Although Tim and Sara got off to a good start at their wedding ceremony, things have been going rapidly downhill ever since.
MAFS. Nine.
They hit their first speed bump after Tim told Sara to “relax” on their honeymoon because she didn’t like the tequila they were served. Perhaps their biggest blow-up to date was related to Sara bailing on three dates Tim had organised, which led to them blowing up at each other at the second Dinner Party.
“It was definitely very up and down. Almost toxic at this point, I don’t know,’ he said. “I think her bailing on the dates was more of a catalyst for the other things that were going on behind the scenes,” he told Daily Mail Australia.
“I was getting really frustrated by being spoken over and talked down to,” he added. “My feelings and my opinions were just being thrown back in my face and it just felt like nothing I had to say was valid.”
