1800 CHATLINE

Episode 12 of Married at First Sight Australia Season 13 delivers what might genuinely be the most explosive Dinner Party in MAFS history - and we’re not being dramatic (for once).

On Episode 10 of 1-800-CHATLINE, we break down the Dinner Party that could change Australian reality TV forever, plus unpack After the Dinner Party on Stan, hosted by Brittany Hockley and Laura Byrne.

This episode is DARK, messy, and completely unhinged.

We deep-dive into:
• Brooke’s horrific takedown of Stella and Alissa 
• The bullying, mean-girl energy that hijacked the table
• The newly formed alliance between Bec and Gia - and how quickly it imploded
• Gia’s bombshell claim that Danny told her she was more his type than his own wife, Bec 😬

The group dynamics officially snap, alliances crumble in real time, and the Dinner Party spirals into full-scale psychological warfare.

PLUS - we drop exclusive insider tea about a potential MAFS couple you absolutely would not expect. One of our dialers calls in with a “MAFS contestants spotted in the wild” sighting… and we save that tea for the very end of the episode ☕👀

Episode 9 of Married at First Sight Season 13 delivers one of the most uncomfortable, chaotic and revealing commitment ceremonies we’ve seen so far - and we unpack all of it.

This week, the cracks become impossible to ignore.

We start with Steve and Rebecca, where Steve is officially exposed for controlling the narrative, speaking over Rebecca on the couch, and painting a picture of a “solid” relationship that simply doesn’t match reality. From selective honesty to flat-out contradictions, we break down why this moment set off major alarm bells - and why Rebecca’s tears say far more than Steve’s words ever could.

Then comes a huge revelation from Grayson and Julia, with Grayson finally voicing what many viewers have been thinking: that Julia consistently talks about herself, rarely asks questions, and leaves him feeling emotionally sidelined. Is this a communication breakdown… or the beginning of quiet resentment?

Of course, we can’t talk about this ceremony without Mel and Luke - the couple no one expected to survive. Against all odds (and despite Luke being emotionally shattered), Luke writes stay. We unpack why this decision stunned the room.

And then - everything completely implodes.

The ceremony ends with a full-blown fight between Stella and Brooke, spilling out as the couples walk away from the couch. Accusations fly, tears are shed, and what starts as “mean girl energy” quickly turns into one of the most explosive post-ceremony confrontations of the season so far. We break down who escalated it, who played the victim, and why this feud feels far from over.

From controlling behaviour and emotional blindsides to fake vibes, performative happiness and unfiltered chaos - this commitment ceremony had it all.

Who’s lying?
Who’s delusional?
And which couples are already past the point of no return?

We break it all down - with hot takes, brutal honesty, and absolutely zero chill.

Episode 8 - MAFS Australia Season 13 Episode 8 Recap: Revelations, Red Flags & Group Implosions

Episode 8 of Married at First Sight Australia Season 13 takes us deep into Revelations Week - and honestly? Things go from tense to unhinged very quickly.

We start with Mel dropping a bombshell, accusing Luke of making her life a living hell. It’s raw, emotional, and one of those moments where the room goes quiet and everyone starts mentally picking sides. We unpack what led to it, what felt justified, and what felt like it crossed a line.

Then comes the red flag / green flag task - and Steve (yes, Steve, the oldest groom) absolutely unloads a brutal list of red flags about Rebecca. What should’ve been a reflective exercise quickly turns into what feels like a full-blown humiliation ritual. Was it honesty… or was it unnecessary cruelty? We have thoughts.

Meanwhile, a feud is quietly brewing among the brides. Mel, Gia and Brooke begin accusing Stella of not being a “girl’s girl,” and the social politics of the group officially kick into overdrive. Alliances form, side-eyes are exchanged, and the tension is unmistakable.

And then - chaos.
Brooke reveals to the group that Chris made comments about not wanting to be with a fat woman, sending the entire room (and us) spiralling. It’s one of those jaw-on-the-floor MAFS moments that shifts the energy instantly and cements exactly how people feel about him moving forward.

Plus, we tease off-camera moments at the top of the episode - and deliver the full details at the end. Trust us, you’ll want to stick around for those.

Who’s telling the truth?
Who’s being performative?
And which couples are quietly heading for disaster?

We break it all down - with opinions, receipts, and absolutely zero chill.

MAFS Australia Season 13 officially hit its stride this week - and things escalated fast.

We wrapped up the weddings with Filip & Stella and Grayson & Julia finally tying the knot. Two very different vibes, two very different pairings, and already some early tells about who might thrive… and who might combust. First impressions matter on MAFS, and these weddings gave us plenty to dissect.

Then came the first ever dinner party - and you know what that means. Champagne, tension, and the feud we all saw coming. Bec vs Gia erupted in real time, turning polite side-eyes into a full-blown clash. Alliances were drawn, words were said, and the group dynamic officially fractured. Welcome to the experiment, babes.

And just when everyone was feeling fragile, we rolled straight into Revelations Week.
Audition tapes exposed.
Hard-hitting questions asked.
Egos bruised.
Trust tested.

Plus, the infamous photo ranking task made its return - and for the first time ever, the women absolutely fumbled it harder than the men. A shocking role reversal that had jaws on the floor and relationships spiralling. We break down why this task landed so differently this season, and what it reveals about power, perception, and insecurity in the experiment.

We cover it all in MAFS Episodes 5–7 and 1-800 Chatline Episode 7 - with hot takes, group chat energy, and zero sugar-coating.

Who’s already doomed?
Who surprised us?
And who is absolutely not surviving Revelations Week?

MAFS Australia Season 13, Episode 4 delivered jealousy, new couples, and our villain continuing to villain.

We kick things off with Bec and Danny, whose relationship officially hits turbulence when Bec accuses Danny of looking at another woman. A moment that spirals fast - insecurity, defensiveness, and a fight that leaves us asking… is this a red flag moment or a full-blown warning sign? We unpack who’s right, who’s reaching, and whether this is something they can actually come back from.

Then, we meet our newest intruders, Rebecca and Steve - the oldest couple in the experiment and, dare we say, a rare glimmer of hope? Mature, measured, and refreshingly calm, they feel like a palate cleanser after the chaos. But is potential enough to survive MAFS pressure… or are we getting ahead of ourselves?

And of course, Chris.
Still here. Still awful. Still proving why he’s this season’s token villain. Every episode gives us more reason to side-eye his behaviour, and Episode 4 is no exception. The red flags aren’t subtle anymore - they’re basically being waved directly at the camera.

Is Bec and Danny already cracked beyond repair?
Will Rebecca and Steve be the surprise success story?
And how much worse is Chris going to get?

We break it all down - with opinions, receipts, and zero chill.
