I can exclusively reveal 32 shocking secrets, savage fights and unseen scandals that unfolded behind the scenes
After his split from Awhina Rutene, Adrian Araouzou booked a holiday for his former best friend Jasmin Weston - a trip that was originally meant to be with Awhina.
The move blindsided the cast and left them questioning their true nature of their 'friendship'.
2. Adrian is accused of texting a former bride
Rumours flew that Adrian had been talking to former MAFS bride Bronte Schofield and liking her racy bikini snaps, despite being 'married' to Awhina.
Adrian denied it at the time, but Bronte has since come forward with receipts.
3. Cast furious over secret production deal
Several participants were left fuming after learning that certain cast members were reportedly offered extra money to return for the reunion.
Some were even guaranteed 'good edits' in exchange for staying longer on the show.

4. Producers begged Morena for final showdown
One production source told me they begged disgruntled bride Morena Farina to come back, but she flat out refused to attend the reunion.
5. Curfew after chaos
After repeated off-camera blow-ups, Channel Nine enforced a strict curfew on the cast during filming of the reunion to stop the madness.
Cast members were flown in at the eleventh hour and sent home immediately after filming wrapped.
6. The reunion dinner party nearly collapsed
Several cast members, including Lauren Hall, Morena Farina, Tim Gromie and Jake Luik, refused to show up to film the reunion dinner party, forcing producers to offer cash incentives to get some of the others to appear.
7. Lauren skips reunion for mental health reasons
High-maintenance bride Lauren refused to attend the reunion, claiming she didn't want to be bullied. She also cited off-camera stress as a reason.
To this day, she refuses to be in the same room as Jamie Marinos or her exes Eliot Donovan and Clint Rice.
8. Jamie and Dave turned up separately
The popular couple, who appeared loved-up on screen, rocked up to the reunion separately. Jamie was madly in love with Dave Hand and saw a future with him, but in the real world he didn't make any effort.

Rumours flew that Adrian had been talking to former bride Bronte Schofield, despite being 'married' to Awhina. He denied it at the time, but Bronte has since come forward with receipts
9. Jacqui secretly texts multiple grooms
After filming wrapped, controversial bride Jacqui Burfoot was caught sliding into the DMs of both Adrian and Teejay Halkias. This led to rumours she was keeping her options open should anything go wrong with boyfriend Clint Rice...
10. Multiple walkouts at the reunion
Sierah Swepstone sensationally walked off set during filming after verbally attacking Awhina and did not return.
Meanwhile, Jamie and Awhina are also set to storm out.
11. Jacqui and Clint recouple
Jacqui apparently wasn't the only one keeping her options open. I hear Clint was also sliding into multiple brides' DMs after the wheels came off with Lauren. However, I'm happy to report he gave that up as soon as he fell for Jacqui.
Speaking of Jacqui, her husband Ryan Donnelly was convinced she and Clint started forming a connection while they were both still married to other people on the show.
'She admitted to me one night, she's like, "After one night when I was really upset, I actually called Clint at 3am," he tells me.
'They had a conversation over the phone about her being so upset with the experiment, with me, with Rhi [Disljenkovic], with everything.'
12. Adrian had a 'meltdown' hours after Final Vows
Sources say Adrian suffered a crippling stress-induced headache several hours after filming the Final Vows. Apparently he was confused by how things had finished with bride Awhina.
13. Adrian and Awhina's friendship ended for good
After filming wrapped, Adrian says Awhina blocked him and cut all contact, despite his attempts to stay friends.
Awhina tells me she did everything she could to stay amicable with Adrian, but he went on a foul-mouthed tirade against her and twin Cleo.
14. Producers feared legal action
Nine executives reportedly received legal threats from angry cast members early on in the season.
As a result, they weren't exactly surprised to see so many participants go rogue.

15. Sierah tried to return to the reunion with Adrian
Insiders tell me Sierah texted Adrian to ask if he would be interested in returning to the reunion as a couple, despite the fact they weren't dating.
Some people will do anything for a headline...
16. Half the cast is no longer speaking
The fallout of the reunion was so severe that friendships were destroyed, group chats disbanded, and cast members are now estranged for good.
17. Awhina quit after an explosive row with Adrian
Awhina abandoned filming after a tense off-camera row with Adrian, fearing she would be 'thrown under the bus' by producers and portrayed as the villain.
18. Adrian claims he was 'backed into a corner' at the Final Vows
Adrian confessed he never intended to stay with Awhina, but said he was pressured to say 'yes' at the Final Vows because he felt backed into a corner on camera.

19. Adrian: Awhina called me 'dumb as sh*t'
Adrian also claimed Awhina had privately mocked his intelligence, called him 'dumb as s**t', and even trashed his business behind his back. None of this aired on TV.
Adrian was so genuinely upset by this because he was so proud of his activewear brand. He felt like his 'wife' refused to take him seriously.
20. Awhina never asked about Adrian's business
A common theme of the season was that Adrian was too 'closed off'.
But he insists the problem was actually Awhina because she apparently never once asked him about his career or personal life.
21. Adrian believes producers protected Awhina's image
Adrian is convinced producers edited the show to make Awhina look like an angel while painting him as the villain.
Look, we've heard that one before...
22. Adrian stormed out of the reunion dinner party
Tensions boiled over when Adrian walked out of the reunion dinner party after learning Awhina had been bad-mouthing him to the entire cast.
23. Leaked group chat
A series of leaked group messages between Adrian, Sierah and other cast members exposed the savage name-calling going on behind the scenes.
Sierah allegedly referred to another bride as a 'c***', sending the cast into meltdown.
24. Cast divided over C-word slur
The leaked texts sparked a major divide in the group, with more than half the cast turning on Sierah after she allegedly called Awhina a 'c***'.
25. Cast banned from discussing text leak on camera
Producers enforced a strict gag order at the reunion, forbidding the cast from mentioning any leaked texts to avoid legal headaches.
But that didn't stop Ryan from 'pulling a Harrison Boon' and showing up with printed receipts.
26. Awhina comes clean
At the reunion, Adrian publicly confronted Awhina about her name-calling. She ended up admitting, in front of everyone, that she had called him 'dumb'.
27. Adrian's savage jab at Awhina's job
Speaking of name-calling, Adrian snapped and told Awhina to 'relax, you work at a retirement home'.
I understand producers are unlikely to air the insult.
28. Awhina's secret plan to humiliate Adrian
Adrian was paranoid leading up to the reunion.
He was convinced Awhina had one goal in mind - to 'destroy him' and ruin his reputation in front of the whole country.
29. Adrian was 'p***ed off' with Billy
One cast member tells me there was beef between Adrian and Billy Belcher after the Englishman slid into his former BFF Jasmin's Instagram DMs.
Billy admitted he was confused by it all given that Adrian and Jasmin were apparently just friends, and he and Adrian were also good mates.

31. The bromance is over
One cast member dished on the ongoing rivalry between Billy and Dave.
They were once inseparable on and off camera but are now rumoured to be feuding.
'There's talk their friendship is over,' the insider reveals.
'Dave's feelings are hurt because Billy's out there hustling, doing nightclub appearances, working with brands.
'They were meant to launch a podcast together, but that's dead in the water. It's sad - but Dave's jealousy is a problem.'

32. Veronica's 'rude snub' exposed
It's not just the boys at war.
Fiery bride Veronica Cloherty has landed herself on the wrong side of the cast, too.
One of her co-stars extended an olive branch by messaging her to see how she was doing - only to be rudely snubbed.
'She ignored my messages, didn't even have the courtesy to reply "no thanks".
My source also believes Veronica is privately 'fuming' over her lack of social media followers and engagement after the show aired.
