Caitlin McConville left MAFS last night in a blaze of glory. She suffered cruel taunts and remarks from her partner Shannon Adams while on the show, and even after admitting he was a “monster”, he wrote ‘stay’ on his slip, which would normally have meant the couple has to continue on for another week.
However, relationship expert John Aiken made the decision to allow Caitlin to decide whether she’d like to stay or not, despite Shannon’s answer.
Caitlin decided to leave and told the experts; “I deserve to be respected.” She continued, to Shannon” “I deserve to feel wanted, I deserve to be treated like a human being. You don’t deserve me.”
Now, Yahoo Lifestyle Australia has reported that “several sources” are claiming that she will return next season to try again, much like Lizzie Sobinoff did in seasons six and seven.
“Caitlin was ready to give everything to the experiment but was matched with a dud who was still in love with his ex,” the insider said.
“The powers behind the show feel she was done dirty, viewers think she was done dirty, and bringing her back for a second chance isn’t out of the question if she’s still single when filming starts in August.”
The same publication recently asked Caitlin whether she’d be willing to come back next season.

“Look, if I was single and I hadn’t found somebody yet, I would definitely be open to coming back,” she said, before adding, “But I’m hoping to have found somebody by then!”
And, Caitlin wasn’t the only participant that the relationship experts changed the rules for. Melissa and Josh also left the experiment, even though Melissa wrote stay.
After Josh told experts John Aiken and Mel Schilling and Alessandra Rampolla that Melissa had questioned his manhood and “controlled” him by attempting to restrict his access to TV and his mobile phone, they allowed him the option to leave.
