Every Walking Red Flag on Married at First Sight Australia Season 13

Ep. 52
•

The BoobTube crew heads Down Under to tackle Married at First Sight Australia, and things get unhinged almost immediately.

From self-proclaimed "experts" to contestants who seem determined to become reality TV villains, we're breaking down the couples, the biggest red flags, and the most outrageous moments from one of the wildest dating shows on television.

We discuss:

  • Why MAFS Australia feels even more chaotic than the American version
  • The contestants we were actually rooting for
  • Chris, Tyson, Bec, Gia, Alissa, David, and the biggest walking red flags
  • The infamous commitment ceremonies
  • The "experts" and whether they deserve that title
  • Toxic relationships, reality TV manipulation, and why these shows keep getting more unbelievable

If you love reality TV disasters, questionable life choices, and brutally honest commentary, you're in the right place.

    Mothman, Bigfoot, Hogzilla, the… Ohio Grassman(?), all our friends are here!Mountain Monsters boldly asserts that not only are cryptids real, they proliferate within a 2-hour radius of Appalachia.It’s a simple formula: Each week Trapper, Jeff, Huckleberry, and Buck meet with a West Virginia local who has had a cryptozoological experience. They make a plan. Willy & Wild Bill build a trap. Nothing happens. They declare the cryptid scared away. Rinse and repeat. A monster-of-the-week so repetitive that our producer dared to ask our extra special guest “did you even watch the show?”And yet.We loved every second of it.In this episode:- Hogzilla is Babe?- Mothman!
