I’m really p’d off how Ash was treated… I think they knew that his partner was completely nuts and what a thing to put a decent guy through

[lee-qzbd]

Ash deserves a re-do. That weird chick was a waste of his time and energy

[carolynsole]

I always liked Lyndall, felt she got the short straw with her pairing, I like her even more now, very articulate and open.

[vv]

It’s very sus that Maddie could get through their screening and interviews and get on? Did she hide her craziness to them ? Or they saw it and thought it would be great tv ?

[ShazBookOwl]

When the "experts" get it so wrong... how can they manage to hold their heads up as "experts".
I understand it's a show, it's entertainment, but at the very least, matches should make some sense, shouldn't they?
Totally thought that Ash held it together, considering what he had to deal with.

I'm a mad MAFs fan and I really enjoy your guests and analysis of what the hell is going on. Looking forward to more interviews...

[kathrynosullivan]

I wondered….if Maddie wasn’t acting, perhaps she was schizophrenic or had a personality disorder? It would have been completely irresponsible for the producers to put someone like that on TV, considering the mental stress MAFS puts people under, but I remember Maddy saying that her psychic powers came on after her grandfather died. Most psychics say they have always had the ability from a young age. So perhaps she was just mentally ill?

Lyndall is a sweetheart bless her worrying about passing her aspect of genes but even God forbid that happened she is such beautiful example how one can live with this illness these days with medication and make most of it. Lyndall, have children and do not fear God is with you ❤

[srtbtvf]

Aww Ash and Cass would have been such good pair ❤

[Np]

Im looking at Lyndall and thinking Wow SHE'S SO BEAUTIFUL!

[ffiontill]

Ash got threw in the deep end, to think they could’ve paired him with someone he could actually see a future with or at least be friends with just sucks. Like a low blow trying to force “entertainment” but I enjoy reality tv. I know it’s not real but sometimes you can see genuine connections and that’s what I really enjoy

[afroissuez]

You guys are awful about Jayden and Sara thing. Why not talk about Sara’s behaviour more instead of focusing on Jayden who’s asking the questions that everyone should be asking Sara? Misplaced priorities

[nathanhooper]

Ash 👏🏽 your cool bro, good luck going forward 🤞🏽

[Bluemoonx]

I felt so bad for him when he left, he was so good and they put him with the worst person ever

[rz-rhymesreasonsandwritte]

Great IVs! Very interesting.... Thanks

[ne]

You really didn’t get to see who Ash really was. Like he was mostly just making facial expressions on MAFS and just seemed perplexed. Hearing him speak now he seems so likeable and genuine, such a shame he got the experience taken away from him.

[rwb]

I also think they didnt air all the stuff with her becuase they clocked she was acting and putting on a show for attention and clicks and notoriety so didn't play into it with her and didn't show it!

[alisonlepley]

I think they had to get rid of Ash’s “wife” because having a psychic with other bereaved people just wasn’t responsible.

[patriciastanden]

Poor Ash - he went on to find love and got wrongly paired with Maddie who I think has massive mental health difficulties - I hope she gets the help she requires.

[shananagar]

Dead Ball? Deb?!? Debutant Ball!?! 😂😂😂 months I’ve been confused
