Who cares. Probably a good thing for her overall health.
Olivia relocated to Scotland recently and is hoping to find more work overseas.
According to Sunday Herald Sun’s Fiona Byrne, the show will undergo another shake-up for the next season, which is currently filming.
“We have tried to move away from the screechy and the shouty,” Channel Nine’s content, production and development head Adrian Swift said.
“We still give it all the drama that it needs, but we’ve tried to absolutely make sure all the relationships we see genuine potential in.
“There will still be those moments when they (contestants) take one look (at each other) and it all goes south, but we are hoping that there is a lot of love in this season.”
Is this really a change? I swear the past 2 years they’ve tainted the early promos it as the years of finding love… but it always just ends up being only 2 or 3 couples remaining in the end. No way are they not going to try and avoid arguments and drama.

If they cared even remotely about finding contestants that would find love - the least they could do is pair people that are from the same city.

“Instead tomorrow morning I’m checking in to hospital to have an operation to remove a 5cm tumour in my colon, a tumour that had it gone undetected for much longer would have killed me.”
I’m assuming we will get the first promo for the new season tonight during Carols as we do every year?
With tipping point being previewed tonight too, you can be sure it’s coming “after the tennis” lol.

The popular Couples Retreat will also return, with all couples going away together to a brand new location this year.The participants will bare all, showing their honest, relatable and vulnerable sides as they immerse themselves in this fast-tracked experiment: from facing their nerves in meeting each other for the first time at the altar, to living together and working through challenges. They will also be put under the microscope and compare the highs and lows of their relationships with their fellow couples, as well as seeking guidance from the experts, in the hope of making their own marriage a long-term success.
Since its premiere in 2015 and over the last 10 spectacular seasons, Married at First Sight has grown to become the talk of the nation, capturing millions of viewers and the hearts of Australians, sparking endless conversations and making it television’s undisputed reality TV juggernaut.
