I am just now finding my MAFS Australia recording and I am already so excited. MAFS Australia is way better than our version. I hope I set the DVR to tape them all! I’m not going to do a recap because I don’t have photos yet. So this will be more like random thoughts.
Selin & Anthony
These two seem like good people. He’s a single father and she is looking for a gentleman. She also has a child. I love her wedding dress. I had forgotten how beautiful the flowers are in Australia. They both seem happy to meet each other. These two are getting along great so far. Of course, we are only at the reception. 
Tamara & Brent
Brent had a great job in hotel hospitality in Dubai and then Covid hit and he lost his businesses. So now he is back in Sydney. She is a very busy career driven person. He seems a little bit immature. Tamara is all about physical appearance. Hers and her future husband. I hate her already. Poor Brent. There must be thousands of dollars worth of white orchids in this wedding venue. It’s amazing. Then she finds out that he works at a bar/club. Her face says it all. I thought she might bail before the vows. I don’t think I’ve ever hated anyone on reality TV as much as I hate Tamara. I hope he dumps her on the honeymoon. Brent quickly realizes how superficial Tamara is. He already wants to bail.
Well that was dramatic. Are any of you watching this?
I’m watching. The groom of the first couple is gorgeous!!
I just finished watching this season online. The two-part reunion airs down there on Sunday and Monday night and I am praying they will be available to watch!
Let me tell you this season is BEYOND unpredictable and FULL of crazy after about the half way point. Mind blown kind of crazy.
DO NOT DO ANY GOOGLE SEARCH with “MAFS” or “Married at First Sight” in the search words. You will thank me later. There are 35 episodes that I imagine will be shown in 3 hour blocks if I recall correctly.
TT, i beg you to recap this one and everyone on here really should watch, it is nothing like the lame show we have here! It will generate some fun and interesting discussions, promise.
The first episode in the US was only an hour. It is usually two.
That seemed weird to me, I can’t see how they could do it one hour per week that way. We’d still be watching at Christmas. Down there they air it at least twice per week so I hope they pick up the pace.
Thanks for the Pam Hupp Dateline info. Not sure why it didn’t show up in a Google video search. Maybe the two platforms are having a spat 🙄
I’m watching. Tamara is ridiculous. I don’t think anyone would meet her standards…even the best of the best. The only way marriage would work for her is if she could clone herself and then marry herself…that might work for her. Tee hee.
He’s HOT and I loved that he took zero of her shit!
I’m excited to read your recaps and take on everything. It’s just finishing here in Australia, only the reunion shows to go. It’s quite the rollercoaster this year!
Nikki, I’m so jealous you’re there! I have to check the time difference so I know when to start looking for the reunion eps online up here in Philadelphia. Can’t wait!
Please don’t spoil us. I’m already a bit spoiled just trying to pull photos… Le sigh.
No chance I will spoil this!
Welcome to the shitshow, American peeps!! Enjoy the ride! Here in Oz we are up to the end of the season and i look forward to hearing your opinions
I’m watching and so glad you are watching too. I kept meaning to email you and tell you it’s on. The opening episode was so good! The first couple seems like a great match. I liked both of them as people and they seem like they’ll compliment each other well. The second couple seemed good on paper, but WOW, she is a piece of work. And I re-watched it today and he did not hand her the knife upside down! You can see clearly that she flipped it when she stopped cutting and then went to cut it again.
In past seasons, I’ve loved the dresses on the Australia version, so I”m looking forward to that. I also like the rhythm of the show. I’m not sure I can put my finger on it, but I feel like we see more intimate conversation between the bride & groom and the bride and her bridesmaids than the US version.
We see a lot more of the couples existing together period. But the couples here don’t have dinner parties or commitment ceremonies, only the lame forced interactions.
So so so SO excited for this show to come back. It is 1000% better than the US version!
Tamara is terrible. But that is obvious. I am curious to see how her groom handles her. But I could totally see this being the couple that causes a shakeup this season.
Cannot wait to watch you guys flip flop over the couples you love one minute and absolutely cannot stand the next. Enjoy the roller coaster fellow tattlers. We have the last supper and reunion show tomorrow and Monday cannot wait to see what happens.
Keep watching all, its a great season that had us all glued to it in Australia! Im sad it’s almost ending here.
I can’t believe how many people are from Australia on here!
I agree I thought I was one of only a few but it seems there are handfuls of us =)
I watched this season online. It is off the charts!!!!! Their reunion starts tomorrow night in Australia
AU is much less predictable than US except that the women all seem to have used the same boob doctor. Although many are wannabe actors, they seem more real and in it for love than the Boston crowd. They also had the pandemic and lock-downs all over the country and since few are from the same State, the trips and family visits are limited.
Where can I watch AUS?? I just searched my guide found nothing, please fill me in.
On the US channel that I recap from, I think it is Lifetime and I believe it comes on right after our MAFS? Can someone with more brain power help Annabelle?
or Maybe TLC? Sorry. I have it set to record so I never have to turn to the actual channel.
I found it, thanks everyone!! It’s lifetime here in the states after I think the after show for the US version
Hi Annabel. I think you’ll be able to watch from 9 Now (Au website). Accounts on 9 Now are free to create.
Otherwise, I think Channel 4 in the UK is part way through the MAFS season. I am not sure if an account is required for their website.
Note: I am not sure if these websites geo block based on country.
YAYYYYYYY!!!! I’m all in!
I also have been watching online in real time. I’m looking forward to seeing the recaps on here to see everyone else’s reactions. This season does not disappoint! I am always blown away by the wedding venues and the fabulous decor. Everything about the Australian version is glamorous.
Brent is gorgeous.
Tamara’s attitude says it all. Not surprised that one has issues in relationships. She reminds me of that Brunette that stole the other woman’s husband. Name fails me. Awful personality and ugly person.
If they are showing their worst day one will be interesting… I love this version 100× better than the US version.
This season is beyond crazy!!! It will make you want to throw things at your tv.
I’m just watching the very last episode now here in Australia the reunion show. No spoilers from me cuz I want you all to experience the crazy from start to finish!
Plus-one me for this! Just started tonight! Wonder why my Hulu says it aired the first 4-5 episodes in February but the rest haven’t yet aired?!? Anyway….I’m here for your recaps, TT! So far, I’m obsessed with Anthony, at first I thought he was Jon Walters from 90DF.
I’m a bit behind. I’ve had a lot going on and I do want to recap but I am not even sure what is taping because I tape so many things to recap. I just want Aussie to hurry up because I mostly just care about the dinner parties. LOL.
I didn’t know there was such a thing as MAFS Australia!
I love Australia. Only been once but it was the best trip in my lifetime so far.
I’m going to try to find it now. Woo-hoo!
