One of the reasons for not moving forward with this idea was that it could potentially polarize viewer opinion, with some feeling disgusted at seeing a cast of former brides and grooms all looking for love once again. . This is bad news for season 11 cast members who weren't part of the experiment for a long time.
”Natalie was someone we started to think deserved a second chance. Also, Ash was never able to form a proper relationship with Madeline,” says a source.
“The producers really enjoyed working with Natalie and Ash. They finished filming at different times last year, but there were whispers of a return just days after their experimental time ended. ”
The source continued, “Then we started looking back at the other brides and grooms from the previous year who didn't have a fairytale ending. We realized that next season could easily be filled with former contestants who had rematched. ” he said.
“You can see the experts having fun matching them up again. They now know quite a bit about their relationship history.”
Of course, the idea of bringing people back has worked on shows like; master chef australia, australian survivor and love island australia For example, that didn't work either big brother australia and flat The Block 2024 reportedly I moved away from this idea.
“Contestants keep coming back, but we feel like they're so used to the format that it's not very exciting for viewers,” the source says. “We know that viewers prefer exploring new stories rather than reinvesting in characters they've already met.”
Season 12 casting process MAFS has already begun with talks from those involved. “We want new stories. We like characters who are a little left of center. Lucinda is a great example of casting someone unique and interesting.”
“The audience is someone they've never met in real life before. Someone with an unusual dating history checks off a lot of boxes.”
This means those who may have been asked to return home will have to work out their affairs happily ever after. That said, one former contestant doesn't seem to have fared too badly since leaving Season 11.
