As a viewer, it’s plain to see that some of the Married At First Sight couples get a little, well, shafted when it comes to their honeymoons, and MAFS 2024 was no exception.
While some of the happy (?) new couples got to play in an island paradise, others were told to pack their suitcases for a short drive down the road.
For example, MAFS darlings Eden and Jayden didn’t even leave their home state of Queensland and headed to Airlie Beach, while Sydney siders Tim and Sara boarded an international island to tropical Fiji.
Tori and Jack went to Vanuatu. MAFS. Nine.
There’s a theory floating around that the MAFS couples who’ll become Main Characters and bring the most drama to the show, get favoured by producers and sent to the best locations.
So, with Sara and Tim’s five-star Fijian resort topping the list as the most expensive stay, it could mean that the couple is going to have a rollercoaster of a time on the show.
To delve into this theory a little more, we’ve popped together a list of exactly how much rooms at the honeymoon hotels go for.
MAFS usually begins filming around July, so we’ve based the rates on that. Each price is in Australian dollars and ranges from the cheapest room to the most expensive room for a one-night stay.
Without further ado, here’s how much each of the MAFS 2024 honeymoon hotels cost!
Married At First Sight 2024 blonde bombshell Eden Harper was paired up with Jayden Eynaud, who will all know now is 2023 groom Mitch Eynaud’s brother.
However, Eden has a secret celebrity link of her own.
Eden’s father is Phil Harper, who’s an AFL legend and has worked with the Adelaide Crows for over 27 years.

The 28-year-old told Daily Mail Australia that he’ll be making an appearance on MAFS.
“You’ll see whether or not my dad gets to meet Jayden,” she said. “That’s something that will happen a little bit later on.”
She also revealed why her dad had to skip out on her wedding ceremony with Jayden.
“Unfortunately my dad wasn’t able to attend the wedding on the day,” she said. “Obviously with MAFS everything’s so secretive and we didn’t find out the date of our wedding until maybe a week before, and it was just too late for my dad to rearrange work commitments.”

Who is Phil Harper?
Phil Harper has been with the Adelaide Crows for almost three decades and was previously the team’s football operations general manager.
In 2013, Phil received a ban from the club over illegalities in player Kurt Tippett’s contract. The team were found breaking salary cap and draft rules regarding Tippett’s 2009 re-signing with the Crows.
Eden’s father took responsibility for the breach, even though he wasn’t directly involved with the contracts.
“A lot of people have said to me ‘You’re hard done by – you had nothing to do with that deal’,” he told The Age.
“And really, all those people who have said that to me are family, friends and Crows supporters so they’re all biased.
“What you need to do is say ‘Well, who should judge that?’. And it should be somebody who is independent, which was the AFL Commission – they made a judgment on it and I accept their decision.”
After his ban, Phil returned as the Crows’ football administration general manager. He is now head of Women’s Football at the club.

Married at First Sight 2024saw the return of 2023 Groom Mitch Eynaud, whose brother Jayden married EdenHarper during episode three of the hit series.
While Jayden had reservations about the experiment, his nuptials caused Mitch to reflect on his journey with Ella Ding whom he left broken-hearted at their Final Vows, unprepared for the commitment.
“Very nostalgic, this. Very nostalgic,” Mitch said while watching his brother try on suits. “I didn’t trust the experiment. I wish I’d trusted it now, a little bit more, and to open up and be myself. That I regret. I wish I’d poured my heart out and been more honest.”
Ella Ding and Mitch Eynaud, Married at First Sight. Nine
During the couple’s first dance, Mitch said it gave him “flashbacks” to his wedding day.
“How Ella and I were,” he said. “It brought back a lot of feelings you know? It is bittersweet, definitely. Ella was a great person. She is a beautiful girl and I have a huge amount of regret.”
However, Mitch admitted that his brother would most likely not share the same fate, given he was ready to settle down and meet Mrs Right.
“But Jayden and I are very, very different. Yeah, I like it, man. I don’t necessarily have that very melty, soft side like he does. So he’s gonna go all the way. Go big, don’t wig.”
Meanwhile, Jayden was hopeful his new Bride wouldn’t judge him based on his brother.
“I just hope she doesn’t judge and make judgments about me,” he said, while also being concerned that Eden wasn’t attracted to him from the get-go.

MAFS Australia 2024 bride Eden Harper regularly shares colourful photos on Instagram of her sun-drenched life on the Gold Coast.
She’s racked up enough followers – 12,000 to be exact – to be considered a micro-influencer, but that’s likely to change after her time on the show. As we all know, a lot of MAFS participants gain a healthy boost in followers after appearing on the popular reality TV series.

Word on the street is that Eden was actually scouted by a MAFS producer after they saw her profile on Instagram. Daily Mail Australia reported that it took several weeks of persuasion for Eden to agree to get married off on MAFS.
What does Eden do for work?
Although Eden is a micro-influencer, she has an office job too. The 28-year-old works as a recruitment officer in Queensland, where she relocated to from her hometown of Adelaide.

What’s Eden’s relationship history?
According to her official MAFS bio, Eden has been single for three years after her ex-boyfriend cheated on her. To make matters worse, the betrayal was with her best friend and meant that she lost her bestie and partner at the same time.
The blonde bombshell admitted that her trust issues run extremely deep because of the affair.

It appears as though the Eynauds have a thing for blind marriages because this year’s groom Jayden Eynaud is actually the brother of former MAFS groom Mitch Eynaud.
Mitch starred in MAFS 2023 and was married to Ella Ding. The couple broke up at the final ceremony but rekindled their relationship before the Reunion Dinner Party. However, they ended up splitting shortly after.
Now, it’s his brother Jayden’s turn; he’s tying the knot in the 2024 instalment of the popular reality TV show.
According to his Channel 9 bio, Jayden thinks that he’s very different from his brother. He calls himself “focused, disciplined and obsessive” and says his busy schedule sees him “working around the clock”.
MAFS. Nine.
What does Jayden do for work?
Jayden works as a personal trainer and professional kickboxer by day and a security guard by night.
He’s previously shared his busy work schedule on Instagram, which involves waking up at 4am, and having personal training clients and student calls before 10am.
“10:30 am and Most people are only just rolling into their office with an empty heart and full stomach which they did not earn, With not an ounce of passion for the work their about to perform or the day ahead. Whilst I’ve already been working for 6 hours,” he captioned the post.
“And I’ll be working another 4 hours still after they finish. That’s an extra 10 hours per day I’m getting that the average person isn’t, times 6 days a week, that 60 hours ahead you are getting.”
He’s labelled an F-Boy
Jayden’s official MAFS bio notes that he’s “misunderstood and often labelled a ‘bad F boy'”.
Apparently, he gets a lot of attention from women but “never the right kind of attention”.
Jayden is looking for a woman that’s “fit, ambitious and independent”, and who is also “up for the challenge of breaking his walls down.”

Natalie Parham is walking down the aisle on MAFS 2024 with the hope of finding someone as unique as her.
In a trailer for the series, Natalie admitted that she’s “quite different to a lot of girls.”
“[I’m] Definitely not a bronzed babe. My teeth are too big, I smile too gummy, I’ve got wrinkles on the side of my eyes,” she added.
It’s clear that Natalie doesn’t take herself too seriously, as she giggles about tripping in her wedding dress multiple times, before being carried to the alter by a group of people.
Natalie is looking to find true love on the popular reality show, stating: “I’ve got so much more love to give I feel like I’m about to break out into song!”
The 32-year-old has worked as an Osteopath since 2015, after completing her Bachelor of Clinical Science degree at Victoria University in 2014.
The Victorian bride has an adorable two-year-old Samoyed whom Natalie created an Instagram page for and regularly shares cute photos.

Let’s hope that the third time’s a charm for Love Island Australia’sGeorgia and Nate who appear to have gotten back together again. That makes it not once, not twice, but three times.
Their most recent breakup was announced in early January when Nate confirmed their split with fans in an Instagram Q&A.
“Georgia and I are no longer together romantically,” he told his followers at the time.
“Needless to say we’ve got zero bad blood between us. I’ve got so much love and respect for her, I reckon she’s fun, she’s beautiful, she’s awesome, all of the above.”
However, that appears to have changed… again.
Love Island. Nine.
Nate shared a loved-up video of Georgia
Fast forward to Friday, January 25th and Nate casually (!?!) shared a video of himself and Georgia strolling down the street together arm in arm.
Even more tellingly, Nate added the song Just Lose It by Eminem. Now, Millenials will know that these lyrics go: “Guess who’s back, back again, Shady’s back, tell a friend”. Well, we’re pretty sure Georgia and Nate and back again, too.
BUT, that’s not all! One of Nate’s pals basically confirmed that the two were back together with his multiple comments on the clip.
“Call it a sequel,” he wrote, then followed that with: “#Callitacomeback”. Then, in a third comment, he wrote, “They back on”.
Nate and Georgia’s Love Island co-star Nakia summed up our exact thoughts in the comments section. “Bruh, I can’t keep up with u two,” she wrote.
Nakia, Nate and Georgia. Instagram.
When else did Nate and Georgia split?
Georgia and Nate were quite a solid couple while they were inside the Love Island villa, however, they did have a few squabbles about how much time they would be spending together once they were outside.
Shortly after the episode aired in which Georgia and Nate were kicked out of the villa (remember, it was pre-filmed), they revealed that they’d already broken up and got back together.
“After we left and got back to Sydney we tried to give it a go, but life was really hectic so we had a bit of a break,” Georgia told Nine Entertainment at the time.
She said that once the show started airing they started talking again and a flame was ignited.
“Our journey is definitely not finished, we’re definitely together,” she said.
“We just fit back like a glove – it was so easy.”
Soooo, they were together in the villa, got back together between filming and the show airing, and are now back together for a third time? What a ride.
Married At First Sight 2024 groom Collins Christian has completely skipped the step of having a relationship and will be marrying his MAFS bride with no prior relationship experience
Yup, Collins has never been in a relationship, which we guess, technically, means that whoever is paired with him on MAFS will be his first GF.
According to his MAFS bio, Collins had his heart broken by unrequited love once and finds himself regularly sitting in the friend zone with potential romantic interests.
Collins and friends. Instagram.
Where is Collins from?
Collins was born in Kalgoorlie, Western Australia after his parents relocated from Zambia. Upon arriving in Australia, his accountant father and pharmacist mother had to work hard to make ends meet.
“International degrees mean nothing, so it took some time for my folks to get back into their professions,” he told Draw Your Box. “During that time [after migrating], they needed money. With two young kids in a completely new country and away from everything they know, Mum and Dad had to resort to other ways of making money by working at McDonald’s – both as kitchen hands.

At age 14 he and his family relocated to Perth.
“Saying this now gets me a bit emotional to realise and remind myself how much my folks have done for me and my sis,” says Collins. “They always said, ‘Our ceiling is your platform. Now go out and get it!’ Be someone. Aim so high!
After filming of MAFS wrapped late last year, Collins moved to Sydney.

Survivor Australia 2024 castaway Nathan Freeman made no secret of his vendetta against Jess Danaher.
Fortunately for him, she was booted off at the second tribal council, in a close vote which saw her just one ahead of Nathan to leave.
In one particularly stunning scene, Nathan called Jess an “easy kill”.
“Jess is lovely but I just feel like she’s a bit, not irrelevant, but I think she’s an easy kill,” he said in a producer-led interview.
During an interview with Chattr, Jess said she was shocked when she watched the show back and heard Nathan’s negative comments about her.
“He made a few comments that I thought were pretty harsh,” she said. “It was mean and I’m not a nasty person.”
Nathan and Jess on Survivor. Ten.
Jess thinks Nathan unfairly targetted her
In episode one, Jess was part of a charge that targeted Frankie, and Jess told Nathan that it was because she was one of the “strong women”. Little did she know, Frankie and Nathan had formed a strong alliance.
At the second tribal council, Jess explained that she wanted to shift the power away from the physically strong contenders leading the votes.
During in our chat, Jess explained that none of the moves she made in the game of Survivor were personal, and instead, she focussed on strategy.
“I put votes on Frankie from a position of her strength and power, and the same with Eden. It wasn’t going: “I don’t like Eden because blah blah.” It was because of Eden’s attributes that make him a strong contender, these are the reasons I think he should go.”
Jess said that she felt Nathan turning against her, and him speaking poorly of her to the camera, was upsetting to see.
“I was disappointed. But, if that’s Nathan’s personality to put people down, then that’s on Nathan. Some of the bitchy comments [he said] or to take things out of context, then that’s on him. I can only control how I come across and I came across, I’d like to think, as a person who doesn’t put people down and says it how it is.”

The second Survivor Australia 2024 Tribal Council was one for the books, as Jonathan LaPaglia put it: “if that was a simple vote, I can’t wait for a hard one!”
We saw Eden enter Tribal completely flustered about having his name thrown around, while Jayden and Nathan were out for blood after the previous elimination of their mate Frankie.
Jaden, Frankie and Nathan on Survivor. Ten.
But, it was Jess who pulled the most stunning moves at the firepit; she took responsibility for voting out Frankie, a move that would most certainly get a target pinned on her back by the ‘physical alliance’.
However, during an interview with Chattr, Jess revealed exactly why she owned up to Frankie’s eviction, and explained that she was backed into a corner by the other tribe mates in a scene viewers didn’t see.
“There’s a little bit more to that than comes across,” she said. “Before I do own up for Frankie’s eviction, Viola has actually yelled at me for putting her name up.”
Jess explained that the tribe was collectively speaking about the fact that a lot of names were in the mix to be voted off at the second Tribal Council. She said things took a sudden turn when she said she’d heard two names but had “thought of one consistently”.
“She [Viola] turns to me and just accuses me of lying and being a hypocrite. And this doesn’t make the edit because there are no videos of me ever saying that. It comes really out of left field, so someone lied to her about that.”
The Titans Tribe on Survivor. Ten.
“Val was also thinking I’d done that as well. And I tell her the truth, and exactly where my conversations have been.”
Jess said once she started telling the truth, she felt like she couldn’t cover anything else, or it would invalidate the honest things she’d already cleared up.
“By the time that second person making accusations comes around, which is Nathan, of course, I’m going to say, “Yes I did that and I own that”. If I start lying, then Viola will think maybe I did do that and that will completely take away any truth that I’ve said.
“Then Eden said well you said mine [his name], and I said, “Yeah I did!”. So I’m fighting fires on every side,” she laughed.
Jess’s final Tribal Council. Ten.
Jess thought her tribemates might value her honesty
At that point, Jess said that her strategy to stay in the game was to pitch honesty and hope that her fellow castaways would appreciate her trustworthiness.
“I’ve started this integrity, truth-telling front by being over the top transparent about myself without throwing anyone under the bus, maybe they will see value in having a tribemate around that told you their thinking about as opposed to someone who lied to you.
“I pretty much make that pitch, that this is the decision you will now make, what do you value in a tribe mate? Someone who you know where they stand because they’ll tell you.”
Unfortunately for Jess, her tribemates didn’t lap up her pitch and she was voted out with one vote to Eden, four votes to Nathan and five votes to her.
Jess doubles down that it was her who put together the plan to vote out Frankie
In episode two of Survivor, viewers see Mark take credit for floating the idea of Frankie’s elimination, which was successful at the first Tribal.
However, in episode one, it is Jess who heads to Eden and Mark and suggests voting out one of the strong physical three, Nathan, Jess or Jayden.
Jess stands firm that it was her idea, not Mark’s, to get rid of Frankie.
Mark and Jess. Ten.
“I definitely took it to Mark and Eden and I knew that they’d think it was their idea if it ever came down to talking about resumes they would pull it up as one of their own,” she said.
The doctor said that she specifically sought out Mark to get him on board with the plan.
“Mark, I knew he had a lot of influence over other players, so pitching to them and getting them on board was my way of enforcing that. I thought that I could get the tribe on side with the vote that I wanted without having to go and show everybody that that’s what I’m doing. I could get other people to do that convincing for me.”

The appearance of 2023 groom Mitch Eynaud on Married At First Sight 2024 surprised some viewers until it was revealed that he was this year’s groom Jayden Eynaud’s brother.
Mitch was ‘married’ to Ella Ding on MAFS 2023 and the couple were fan favourites for most of the season. They made it through all of the Commitment Ceremonies but unfortunately didn’t make it to the Final Vows.
Jayden is set to follow in his brother’s footsteps and tie the knot on MAFS 2023. A quick glance through his Instagram account shows that he shares a close relationship with his older bro.
Mitch and Jayden’s relationship
Mitch is older than Jayden by a year and both brothers share a passion for sports.
Jayden is a professional kickboxer and he’s v-e-r-y passionate about it, Mitch occasionally his hand at the sport, too.
“The big bro weighed in, fighting tomorrow night in Melbourne,” Jayden captioned a photo of Mitch.
As you can see in the photos above, the brothers do share a resemblance, physically. However, according to Jayden’s MAFS bio, they’re quite different personality-wise.
“Brother to Mitch Eynaud (MAFS Season 9), Jayden insists the pair are nothing alike. Focused, disciplined and obsessive, Jayden’s busy schedule sees him working around the clock. Professional kickboxer by day and security guard by night, his work has always been his priority, with little time for love,” his bio reads.

If you know anything about the infamous Scandoval affair, then you’ve probably been counting the days until season 11 of Vanderpump Rules drops.
Of course, Ariana Maddix and the gang are from America, and the reality TV show is released in the United States. However, we Aussies have the opportunity to stream it at basically the same time as our northern counterparts. Woohoo!
Vanderpump Rules. Hayu.
How to watch Vanderpump Rules season 11 in Australia
The long-awaited premiere drops premiere Tuesday, Jan. 30, at 8 p.m. ET in North America. Of course, in Australia, we’re ahead of the US timewise.
So, although we’ll be getting the episode around the same time as the US, it will drop in Australia on January 31 on Hayu.
Is there a trailer?
There sure is!
Who’s in season 11 of VPR?
Most of the crew is coming back, and we’ll see Ariana Maddix, Lala Kent, Katie Maloney, Tom Schwartz, Tom Sandoval, Scheana Shay and James Kennedy among the cast.
Unfortunately, (solely for drama’s sake), Raquel Leviss won’t be back this season.
What is Scandoval?
For the uninitiated, Scandoval is the nickname for an affair between cast members Racquel Leviss and Tom Sandoval.
Sandoval and Ariana dated for nine years. They own a house together and Ariana froze her eggs because Sandoval wanted a family.
Tom and Ariana. WWHL.
Racquel dated fellow cast member James Kennedy for five years and the two were engaged but broke up in December 2021. Ariana and Racquel were close friends.
In March last year, Ariana found an explicit video from Racquel on Sandoval’s phone and discovered that the pair had been having an affair. Season 11 will explore the fallout.
Vanderpump Rules season 11 will premiere on Hayu on Wednesday, 31 January.
Victorian MAFS bride Tori Adams knows what she wants in a romantic partner, and it turns out that list is pretty long.
According to her official Married At First Sight bio, Tori needs her partner to have the following qualities:
Masculine
Alpha-male
Fit
Career-focused
Driven
Tidy
Emotionally intelligent
A good communicator
Whew.

While Tori’s list may be detailed, she also identified her shortcomings, saying she can be high maintenance and a stickler for control.
What does Tori do for work?
Tori is a business development manager at a motor vehicle group in Victoria.
“I am a hardworking, tenacious, honest individual. I am able to work independently in busy environments and also within a team setting. I am outgoing and tactful, and am able to listen effectively when solving problems,” her LinkedIn bio reads.

“[Jack] told Jono to put a muzzle on his wife,” a show insider told the publication. ‘It was shocking and disgusting. All the experts were appalled.”
Why is Jack a love rat?
According to Daily Mail Australia, Jack dumped his girlfriend at the time, Courtney, when he found out he was being cast on MAFS Australia 2024. The publication reported that Jack told the woman that he was “moving overseas” for work.
When photos leaked online of Jack and his MAFS bride Tori Adamsexchanging vows, his ex was allegedly left “reeling”.
“‘Breaks up with me right after I met his family and he told me he loves me. Tells me it’s for [a] ‘work opportunity in America’ only to find out he’s on MAFS in Sydney,’ Courtney wrote on The Wash‘s Instagram picture of the wedding.
In another comment, she wrote: “When someone tells you they love you, introduces you to their family, lies to you saying they are going America ‘for a work opportunity’ only to find out they broke your heart to be on MAFS.”
“I even started selling my furniture when we were together as we spoke about moving in together. This is definitely the worst thing a man has ever done to me. I’d been driving myself crazy for a month wondering why everything was so shady [when he ended it],” she said.
What does Jack do for a job?
Considering his cheese-grater abs, it shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise that Jack is a personal trainer.
He loves sharing a selfie on IG to show off her hard work. See Exhibit A:
Unlike some of the other MAFS Australia 2024 brides and grooms, Timothy Smith apparently doesn’t have a list of requirements he’s looking for in his partner.
While Timothy has no set physical type, his ideal match “needs to be a genuinely good person, with a flexible, fun nature”, according to his official MAFS bio.
Timothy is looking for a genuine kind of love, which would mean he and his bride would put each other first.
“He would love to find love, he is ready to take care of someone, and in return, have someone take care of him,” his bio reads.
What prompted Timothy to go on MAFS?
Sadly, Timothy’s father recently died, and the loss made him realise that he is lonely and craves the support, love and emotional connection of a partner.
The 51-year-old’s last relationship ended six years ago and he “wants to feel butterflies and excitement” again.
What’s Timothy like?
In one word? Loud!
The business owner says that he has the “gift of the gab” and calls himself Peter Pan. The phrase refers to those who don’t want to grow up, and want to live without the worries of adulthood.
Timothy is “social and outgoing, he likes to live every day to its fullest, leaving nothing on the table.”

So, who is Lucinda Light?
What is Lucinda’s job?
Lucinda works as an MC, celebrant and creative producer. Her Instagram page has hundreds of beautiful photos of the happy couples she’s married over the years.

How old is Lucinda?
Lucinda is 43 years old.
Where does Lucinda live?
Lucinda lives in Victoria but announced on Instagram that she’s moving to Sydney in a few weeks. Considering that MAFS filming is wrapped, could she be moving for her husband?
“I’m currently in Victoria & moving to sunny Sydney beginning of March. I’m taking enquiries & would love to MC your party too,” the MAFS 2024 bride wrote on Instagram.
Lucinda regularly travels around Australia to run various events.
Who does Lucinda marry on MAFS?

Although he’d already formed some bonds in episode one with stronger members of his team, he wasn’t content with voting for an “easy option”. Instead, he helped instigate a tirade against the strong players, and poor Frankie was the first casualty.
So, who is Eden Porter?

Eden’s connection to former Survivor player George Mladenov
Eden has a connection to one of Australia’s most memorable Survivor players of all time, George Mladenov. George competed on Australian Survivor: Brains v Brawn and Australian Survivor: Heroes v Villains.
In December – over a month before the new season had started – Eden shared a photo of a New York Times article that called George “one of the most telegenic antagonists of any version of the show”. Eden didn’t caption the pic, however, they didn’t stop George from commenting.
“I expect you to be in the NY Times in 12 months,” he commented.

What do Eden do for work?
39-year-old Eden is an area manager in the cinemas and looks after eleven different cinema sites.
“I’m there to oversee everything and make sure the customer service is at a very high standard and all the sites are delivering what they expect,” he says in his Survivor bio video.
Eden chose to work in the movie industry because he loves stories.
“I’m a storyteller, that’s what I do,” he said. “I run a really fine line between being entertaining, and being annoying.”
Is Eden married?
Eden has been married to his wife Rachel Gill for just over two years.
In January he shared a photo from their wedding and penned an adorable message to her to celebrate their second anniversary.
“I need to take a moment to celebrate the amazing woman that allowed me to live out my dream while holding down the fort at home with Phoenix. I get to have a loved one visit everyday when I am with you. I am so lucky to have you in my life. Thank you for a wonderful first 2 years of marriage and I can’t wait for our next adventure together,” it reads.
The premiere episode of Survivor Australia 2024 packed some serious punches, with the Main Character of the night FrankieGuascoine being voted off at Tribal Council via a blindside.
Though Frankie may be gone, During an interview with Chattr, she listed who she believes will be the new George Mladenov, Shonee Bowtell and Luke Toki this season – big characters whose names will be remembered for seasons to come.
“There’s some really big players on there. I feel like there’s some really big fans of the show and they wanted to pull some news early and get the game going,” she said.

Who did Frankie list as the most memorable players to come this year?
Frankie was quick to name Jaden Laing from the Titans side as one to watch this season.
“I think that even the ones that don’t look like they do have quite big personalities, but Jaden is gonna give you guys a laugh. He’s a funny guy he’s got some great one-liners,” she said.
The business owner went on to explain why she called Valeria Sizovathe ‘Russian Killer’ and said she was another one to look out for.
“Valeria, she’s got some stories that were just making you laugh. I called her the Russian killer because she was telling me how she wrestled a wolf once! You guys are in for a ride.”
Lastly, she shared a cryptic warning about former AFL playerNathan Freeman.
“Nathan’s a legend, he’s so funny… Don’t underestimate Nathan.”

Frankie thinks it was a “silly” move getting rid of her so early
As fans of Survivor will know, the contestants are whittled away until there’s a final three. At the finale, that trio needs to prove themselves in front of the jury, which is made of former contestants, and they vote for the winner.
The slogan for Survivor is Outwit, Outplay and Outlast, so big moves – like getting rid of strong players – are usually looked favourable upon by the jury.
It goes without saying that Frankie is physically strong, and has a big personality. So, had a castaway made the bold move to blindside her later in the game, it would have likely helped them more in the end.

“I think it was a silly move,” she said of being voted off. “Because how are you going to claim that later when half the rebels didn’t know me and how we claim that later, if you’re like ‘I was the one who got rid of Frankie’ and they’re like ‘Who?'”
“It’s a big move playing big moves at the beginning, with 46 days to go, now you’re going to have to hide.”
