In life, three things are certain: death, taxes, and the return of Married At First Sight Australia.
The reality TV juggernaut has been running for 11 seasons. And with each passing year, it only seems to grow in popularity. Now that the US and UK audiences have caught on to the glorious nature of Australian MAFS, there's simply no stopping it.
The Channel Nine series will return in 2025, with a new batch of hopeful singles looking to "find love" with a total stranger.
And it's been reported that the show is off to an unhinged start, with behind-the-scenes drama reigning supreme during filming.
Yahoo Lifestyle has reported that a whopping six contestants walk out of MAFS... within the first week of filming.
According to the publication, two couples quit during the very first commitment ceremony, while one groom walked out on his bride before they even made it to their honeymoon.
The Daily Mail have reported that Eliot Donovan was the first contestant to quit, because he was "unimpressed" with his bride, Lauren Hall. Big yikes! Poor Lauren.
"Eliot was anything but impressed when he met Lauren. From that moment, it was downhill," a source reportedly told them.
"By the next morning, Eliot wanted out — no second thoughts, no hesitation. Everyone was shocked."
