Relationship expert Alessandra Rampolla teased the upcoming drama in Married At First Sight (MAFS) Australia 2025, revealing that participants will be challenged on their disposable dating attitudes that have been fueled by the rise of dating apps.
With dating literally at our fingertips, there is often the temptation to quickly move on to another suitor when things aren’t perfect—something Alessandra said many of the MAFS 2025 cast complained about.
During an interview with 9Entertainment, Alessandra drew a comparison between searching for love on the show and finding a connection on dating apps.
“We see a lot of crossover with the very disposable nature of online dating, that the participants say that they don’t want,” she said.
Alessandra said that during the experiment, she and the other MAFS 2025 relationship experts noticed the participant’s inclination to quickly shut down when something wasn’t right in their relationship.
“When faced with the reality of the match that perhaps they don’t like, they fall right into wanting to be very disposable,” she explained.
“So it’s very interesting to put this mirror up to all these things that we see in real-life dating, and even with people who are claiming they’re so against it, how it’s so instilled that they also fall into that trap within the experiment.”
Alessandra Rampolla teases a big MAFS 2025 twist
Alessandra teased that viewers can expect some couples to thrive on the show, but said that a twist at the tail end of the season may put these relationships in jeopardy.
“During the end of the experiment, when the couples have been saying that they really are sure, some things are not so sure,” she said.
“When getting the possibility to look behind door number two, are they really that committed? Are they really that in love, or are they still open to another possibility? That can change things very quickly…”
Bring on the drama!
MAFS Australia 2025 air on January 27 on Channel 9 and 9Now.
