Speaking exclusively to Daily Mail Australia, the anonymous guest claims that the producers tried to make Dan come off as a “suave, one-dimensional office guy” in order to make him seem more compatible with Sandy.
The guest claimed that the editors removed Dan’s original intro footage, which showed him engaging in extreme sports, driving luxury cars, and living a flashy, semi-retired lifestyle.

“Dan received some very angry phone calls from production and publicists and became an example to other cast members,” the spy said.
‘Dan is semi-retired. Why only show Dan in an office where he spends less than 5 hours a month?’ the guest continued, adding, “I think if they showed who Dan really is, the audience would see that it was a deliberate mismatch from the start.”

“Sandy talked to Dan during the wedding reception about her beach lifestyle… and confessed that she hates the beach and is allergic to ocean water,” the spy claimed, adding that Sandy’s allergy was a red flag for Dan.
