The Married At First Sight ‘All-Stars’ reunion isn’t expected to air on Channel Nine until late January, which, if you ask us, is quite a long time to wait.
So we thought we’d just let you know everything we’ve been told that happened during filming right now instead, plus everything we’ve been told about the spin-off as a whole, in case you’re as impatient as we are. You’re welcome.
WHAT’S THE GO?
- The whole thing was a last min decision, with the cast given a few days notice
- Many people declined, with some ‘requesting ridiculous amounts of money’
- The cast were all paid to return to the show, with their fees revealed in this article here
- Jules Robinson tells us her and Cameron Merchant turned it down as they wanted to stay home with their newborn baby
- No one from this year’s season were invited, excluding Elizabeth and Seb
- Our source tells us that producers purposely did this as this year’s cast ‘didn’t connect with viewers like previous seasons’
- It’s believed the whole idea of the reunion is to get people hyped about the show again, as this year was ‘a bit of a flop’
- The reunion is split into two parts, a dinner party on the first night and then a big sit down with the experts the day after
- It’s expected to air towards the end of January, ahead of the season eight launch

- Jo McPharlin and Troy Delmege were the first to arrive at the dinner party
- Cyrell was the last to arrive, with producers holding her back for maximum impact
- Dean Wells attempted to confront Ryan Gallagher over their fall out last year, but producers fizzled that out
- Pregnant Tracey Jewel was anxious about seeing Nasser Sultan again, after he’s said so many ‘hurtful’ things about her
- Nasser clashed with almost everybody, and was branded ‘Australia’s biggest troll’ by most of the cast
- He quit the reunion following a huge fight with Cyrell and went home sulking
- Elizabeth Sobinoff and Seb Guilhaus were two of the only people to defend Nasser, saying he ‘just loves the media and attention’
- Cyrell and Jessika had a private chat, which resulted in Cyrell apparently throwing wine over Jessika
