MAFS has quickly become one of Australia’s most popular reality shows, and this year’s season saw meteoric ratings. However, MAFS sexologist Alessandra Rampolla has explained how MAFS participants are cast and revealed that “matchmaking” isn’t necessarily the top priority.
During an appearance on HIT WA Breakfast with Allan and Carly Rampolla told the hosts that casting is done before matchmaking.
“I don’t do the casting … I get to interview the possible candidates, even before they’re officially cast, I do pre-interviews,” she explained.
“Once they’re actually cast, that’s when we (the experts) look at who the participants are going to be, then we do the matchmaking.”
The popular sexologist also told the radio hosts that she trusts contestants when they tell her their intentions, but hinted that they’re not always truthful.
“I trust at face value that (the contestants) tell me the truth, and then, you know, if they don’t …” she said, before host, Allan Aldworth interrupted: “Yeah, then the last season happened!”
Rampolla agreed: “Yeah, then the last season happened.”
