Fans threaten to boycott 2025 series
Some viewers have already threatened to boycott the 2025 series after high-profile reality stars were cast, including The Real Love Boat star Paul Antoine and Bachelor star Sierah Swepstone.
Fans of the show vented their frustration on social media, accusing producers of recycling reality TV personalities instead of giving ordinary Australians a chance to find love.
“MAFS has lost its authenticity,” one disgruntled viewer wrote on Instagram.
