1. “They’re going to bring it up.” How MAFS’ Michael knew Stacey was lying about Mikey.
Mikey and Stacey’s alleged affair was certainly the talk of last night’s Married At First Sight grand finale, with Stacey continuing to deny the cheating allegations.
And now it turns out Michael actually noticed that Stacey was acting bizarrely before the final dinner party when the news of the cheating scandal first came out.
“Before we got to the dinner party, she goes, ‘I think there’s going to be a rumour coming out that I hooked up with Mikey – but we only went out for coffee.’ I was wondering why she told me like that?” Michael said on Married At First Sight’s YouTube channel.
“It didn’t add up. And I was like, well, if it didn’t happen, it didn’t happen. Then it came out that she slept with Mikey and I thought I’d give her the benefit of the doubt.”
Michael said that the text message evidence from Mikey’s phone was the final straw.
“Then she says there’s no messages, and out comes the phone,” he said. “I still wanted to defend her and I think the world of her. She’s a great mum, lovely person and sat on a big secret, which would have been really hard to handle.”
The 28-year-old said he was most upset by the fact that Stacey made him feel guilty for hooking up fellow bride Hayley when she was also wrapped up in her own cheating scandal.
“She made me grovel and jump through hoops and feel so guilty, she really crippled me. It was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to face,” he said. “Especially in front of everybody. It was gut-wrenching.”
So there we have it, Michael had a suspicion about Stacey all along. Yet, something tells us this won’t be the end of this season’s cheating scandals.

2. According to Jeff Lowe, Netflix is releasing a new Tiger King episode soon.
In the past month, there have been just two subjects on the minds of everyone around the world – a) the global COVID-19 situation and b) a self-described “gay, gun-toting cowboy with a mullet” called Joe Exotic.
Yep, it seems like just about everyone is obsessed with Netflix’s latest docuseries, Tiger King.
Since the show exploded onto our screens, there have been constant rumours about a second season of the show coming to the streaming service.
And now, in another exciting rumour, Jeff Lowe himself has claimed that another episode of Tiger King is coming to our screens very, very soon.
In a Cameo video shared by LA Dodgers player Justin Turner, Jeff Lowe said: "Netflix is adding one more episode. It will be on next week. They are filming [at the zoo] tomorrow."
"The split was amicable and they're still in contact. They're spending time apart and are open to meeting new people."
5. "He's my naughty boy now." MAFS Michael and KC confirm they're dating and self-isolating together.
After 7547 episodes, this year’s Married At First Sight season is finally over, but that doesn’t mean the gossip is.
The reunion special aired on Sunday night and just hours later, Michael Goonan and KC Osbourne confirmed one of the show’s many badly kept secrets (no seriously, we knew absolutely every spoiler before it happened and we blame the entire cast).
It didn’t work out with their (fake) spouses, but that’s okay because the drama and ratings brought them together and now they’re in love after five weeks of dating and self-isolating together. Because that is the world we now live in.
Although Michael’s reputation post-show was not the best, KC told New Idea she was not concerned about his past partying.
“Before I said yes to being his girlfriend, I asked him to come clean about everything so that no future allegations could rock us and he went into detail about everything. Yes, he was a naughty boy, but he is my naughty boy now.”
It then got serious… very quickly.
“It’s love. We have one hell of a journey ahead of us,” Michael explained. “Everything is on the table. We moved in together last week.”

The only "celebrity" I can think of named Reece is Reece Mastin, former Idol (or X Factor?) winner. He's about the calibre of celebrity I'd expect to participate in MAFS All Stars, so I could believe this.
