What are the best series of MAFS Australia?

Series six of Married At First Australia is undoubtedly one of the better ones.

Who can forget ‘devil bride’ Ines Basic? Or Sam Ball’s failure to show up to the reunion? Or his shocking messages exposed about poor Lizzy?

But fortunately there are several other equally – if not better – Aussie MAFS series very much worth the watch.

Love Is Blind

Love Is Blind aired on Netflix last year and was an instant hit. This unique dating show has contestants pick one another based on conversation only.

They are separated by a wall at all times, and must choose their partner based on their personality over looks. Once outside of their pods they then must navigate their relationship in real life – and with their eyes wide open.

90 Day Fiancé

90 Day Fiancé is a huge hit stateside and is shown on TLC UK. This series follows Americans as they fall in love with partners abroad.

Once they bring their partners across to America, they have 90 days to marry them under a K-1 Visa. Much hilarity, awkwardness and often downright weirdness typically ensues. And it has proven so popular, it has spawned an entire 90 Day Universe, with about a dozen spin-offs.

The Circle

The Circle on Netflix is not exactly a dating show – but it definitely involves a lot of flirting. Contestants are placed in separate rooms within a house – but can only contact one another through a social media profile app. They then compete by ‘rating’ one another and the lowest ranking contestant risks being ‘blocked’.

The contestants proceed to flirty, make friends and even completely lie and backstab for the chance to win $100,000 ($72,850).  It has been described as ‘Big Brother meets Catfish’ and it is one of those shows you just can’t look away from.

Celebs Go Dating: The Mansion

Celebs Go Dating is back on E4 but this time it has a unique twist. Due to social distancing, the contestants must all live in a mansion together.

So this new series is really as much about the contestants friendships as the predictably awkward dates they embark on. And the line-up is a quirky mix this year – there’s several reality stars, a soap star and even Gary Lineker’s brother.
