Today I’m unpacking the absolute chaos of MAFS’ Red Flag / Green Flag challenge, and wow, the couples (and friendships) are hanging by a thread. I dive into Steve’s shock personality switch, Brook’s unexpected villain arc, and why the “girl’s girl” debate is driving me insane. Plus, I break down the train wreck that is Mel and Luke, Stella and Filip quietly thriving, and the messy rumours surrounding Scott’s past marriage that have everyone talking.Safe to say… commitment ceremony is about to be VERY interesting.Find me here: Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@itshannahbowman⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@itshannahbowman⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠This is a Pointed Media production. www.pointedmedia.com.au
Dinner party chaos, awkward move-ins and Revelations Week delivering exactly what Confessions Week already did... I break down the confusing Gia vs Bec feud, why we need to rescue Luke, and the first cracks showing between golden couple Gia and Scott. I’m loving Rachel and Steven’s emotional maturity, side eyeing Chris’ audition tape disaster (thank you, Brook, for saying what needed to be said), and loving Julia and Grayson’s wholesome but very platonic woo-woo vibes. Basically, relationships are wobbling, red flags are waving, and I’m here for every messy second.Find me here: Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@itshannahbowman⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@itshannahbowman⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠This is a Pointed Media production. www.pointedmedia.com.au
We’ve officially made it through all the MAFS weddings (round of applause honestly). Julia and Grayson say “I do” at a surprisingly bare Opera House ceremony, with Julia bringing confident queen energy while Grayson raises eyebrows, especially during that bisexuality reveal and the rumours already swirling. Stella and Filip bring emotional backstories, messy friend drama, and a sobriety vs vodka tradition moment that somehow leaves me hopeful they could be genuine. I also touch on the Chris and Brook rumour mill and the mystery of why Alyssa is posting on social media mid-season. Dinner parties are here and chaos is officially loading.Find me here: Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@itshannahbowman⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@itshannahbowman⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠This is a Pointed Media production.
Today I kick things off with a quick Housewives of Beverly Hills detour (because Amanda is chaos, Rachel Zoe gets it, and thank GOD for Kathy Hilton and Jennifer Tilly). Then it’s back to MAFS where I’m analysing the one wholesome couple giving me hope (hi Rebecca and Steve), the couples already falling apart, and why this season feels extra messy. I also dive into the Scott marriage rumours that have been infiltrating my tiktok!

I recap the latest MAFS weddings and honestly… the chaos is already chaos-ing. I break down Chris and Brooke’s rocky start (and Chris’ very questionable vibes), plus Bec and Danny’s honeymoon that somehow manages to be both hot and confusing. I also check in on the other couples, including Steven and Rachel’s tense trip to Mudgee, Alissa and David’s surprisingly sweet snow moment, and whatever awkward pillow-wall situation is happening with Luke and Mel. Basically, I’m sharing my hot takes on who might survive and who is absolutely not making it.Find me here: Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠@itshannahbowman⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok ⁠⁠⁠⁠@itshannahbowman⁠⁠⁠⁠This is a Pointed Media production.
Two more MAFS weddings down and I’m breaking down Scott and Gia’s big day... from Scott’s reality TV past and fame ambitions, to Gia’s emotional reveal about being a mum and whether his stepparent promises are genuine. I also touch on her scene stealing man of honour and early signs she could be at the centre of this season’s drama.I also unpack Luke and Mel’s awkward wedding, from forgotten rings and gum during vows to major mismatched expectations. Plus, I cover early cast press chaos, including Gia being dumped live on radio for swearing, and preview the next controversial groom.Find me here: Instagram ⁠⁠⁠@itshannahbowman⁠⁠⁠TikTok ⁠⁠⁠@itshannahbowman⁠⁠⁠This is a Pointed Media production.
We’ve officially kicked off MAFS 2026, and I’m breaking down the first two weddings of the season... Steven & Rachel and Alyssa & David. Plus our first look at the hens and bucks nights. I chat about the complete editing wipe of Micah and Ankita, some early production slip-ups, and dive into the chaos of it all including that jaw-dropping kiss I truly won’t recover from. On the flip side, Steven and Rachel delivered some surprisingly wholesome moments that hit close to home for anyone dating in their 30s. Also a quick Below Deck Down Under reminder, because season 4 is here and the reality TV calendar is already packed!

In this episode I dive into the first major shake-up of MAFS 2026... the couple who made it all the way through casting, the Bucks and Hens, and the wedding… only to be kicked off the show.I break down everything we know so far about the allegations that surfaced and why Channel Nine made the call to pull them from the experiment. I also unpack the bigger conversation around MAFS casting, contestant safety, and what happens when rumours explode before a season even airs.Plus, how on earth do producers edit a couple out after they’ve already filmed with the rest of the cast? Will we see them in the background? A disclaimer card? Or some very creative editing?And because one red flag isn’t enough, I revisit Scott, the groom with multiple reality TV appearances, a very confusing online persona, and some strong “alpha lifestyle” energy. Is he here for love… or just another shot at fame?Find me here: Instagram ⁠@itshannahbowman⁠TikTok ⁠@itshannahbowman⁠This is a Pointed Media production.
On this very first episode of Off Script, we are diving headfirst into the upcoming season of MAFS, Australia’s most chaotic social experiment. I run you through the full cast lineup, and make some very early (and probably unhinged) predictions about what type of characters we are dealing with.
