The most recent season of Married at First Sight Australia has perhaps been the most controversial in MAFS history. It gave us Paul Antoine’s fall from grace, Jacqui Burfoot and Clint Rice’s surprise recoupling, and so many more jaw-dropping moments.
With the help of relationship experts Mel Schilling, John Aiken and Alessandra Rampolla, a group of couples began the experiment hoping to find The One. While some were more successful than others and we didn’t get to see as many happy ever afters as we’d initially hoped, we did get some shocking splits, drama-filled dinner parties, and more than a few tears.
Since filming wrapped, many pieces of gossip and info were filtered out as it isn’t a live taping, meaning we had a few spoilers along the way whether we wanted them or not. This has many fans wondering when exactly series 12 was filmed.
