It sounds like Brook is in damage control, knowing how badly she has been perceived so far and it sounds like the drama in tonight’s party is all instigated by her (she obviously came back for it after “quitting” last night).
At this point she’s just another MAFS contestant who behaved badly on the show and now has gone rogue afterwards, spoiling storylines and doing media about her pregnancy before her episodes have even finished airing.
After The Dinner Party debuts on Stan tonight as a exclusive.
New episode releases after every dinner party episode of the season.
Someone call Cyclone Cyrell to sort this shitshow of a dinner party out.
Seems like After the Dinner Party has caused Stan to crash.
I am lost for words. That dinner party was actually unsettling to watch. Brook and Gia’s nastiness is on another level.
Remember when Jules Lund was in everything!
His work with the late great Jim Stynes’ Reach Foundation was amazing though, a lot don’t know that about him, quite well regarded in that space.
The Stan show was very entertaining and much better than I thought it would be. Made Brook and Gia look even more mean and disgusting with the unseen footage. Loved Danny’s comment that Gia is not her real name and she’s had 15 different names. 
By the way I find Danny just a wee bit weird too.
It has stopped being a show where you go to escape, and is now the show you want to escape from.
Judging by the ratings, it’s seemingly the opposite…
Brook, Gia and Bec are horrible excuses for humans! So is Steve, a very bad example of a mature man!
“The moment that massive audience finished watching on Channel 9 and 9Now, we saw a record-breaking mass of fans rush over to Stan to catch the premiere of ‘MAFS: After The Dinner Party,'” Nine’s Head of Content, Production and Development, Adrian Swift told Variety Australia in a statement.
“This surge in volume exceeded even our most ambitious forecasts. It’s a high-class problem to have, and it proves that the MAFS ecosystem has an insatiable appetite.
“While our technical teams had the majority of impacted fans streaming within moments, we are sorry to anyone who was stuck at the digital front door for a moment. Last night wasn’t just a premiere; it was a cultural event that pretty much broke the internet.”
Juliette is a receptionist at a real estate firm and is currently studying for her certificate to sell property, although she admits she’d happily trade it all in to become a mum. With Lebanese, Maltese and Egyptian heritage, she grew up in Singapore before moving to Melbourne to finish high school.
Single for four years, Juliette enjoyed her independence at first but thought she’d be settled by now. She’s certainly tried to find love, even travelling overseas, falling hard twice and once telling a guy she loved him on a second date… only to be ghosted the next day.
Surrounded by married and engaged friends, she feels left behind and is tired of dating men who don’t see her as someone to commit to.
Juliette knows she can be possessive and overly invested and hopes MAFS will help her grow into the best version of herself in a relationship.
Stephanie is a strong, independent real estate agent who has her life together and thrives on routine, self-improvement, and pushing her career to new heights. She knows her worth and isn’t afraid to work hard to achieve her goals, both professionally and personally. Stephanie is ambitious, driven, and passionate about growth, always looking for ways to better herself and create the life she envisions.
Stephanie is looking for a partner to share life with, a true power couple dynamic. She dreams of someone ambitious, driven, and proud of their appearance, ideally a businessman who shares her conservative values and desire for success. For her, a relationship isn’t just about companionship; it’s about building something meaningful together, investing in property, traveling to beautiful destinations, and supporting each other’s dreams along the way.
At 32, Stephanie has never experienced a serious adult relationship and has never been in love. She often finds men don’t look beyond her surface, and when they do, her independence and ambition can feel intimidating. She’s honest about her inexperience with love and relationships, and while she’s still discovering exactly what she wants, she knows she’s ready to embrace the journey of finding love.
Chris blends city and country life as a fit Redfern gym owner and entrepreneurial farm owner who isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty. Raised on a QLD cattle farm by his mum after losing his father, he grew up knowing resilience early. Coming out at 18 in the country wasn’t easy, so he packed up and headed for Sydney to build his own life.
In love, Chris admits he’s attracted the wrong type in the past, men drawn to his success or men he had to “fix.” Kind and generous, but a self-confessed neat freak who sometimes avoids tough conversations by escaping to the farm, he knows he’s not perfect.
After three long-term relationships, he’s hoping MAFS leads him to a masculine partner who enjoys dressing up for a night out and is just as happy getting muddy on the farm.
Joel is a model who describes his former self as a “fat Uber driver” and has spent the past five years reinventing himself into a stronger, more confident version. Born and raised in Sydney with Iraqi heritage, Joel is a first-generation Australian.
Growing up, he faced bullying and often felt different, which shaped his self-awareness. He credits his single mum, whom he calls a “spiritual goddess,” for his deep interest in psychology, she raised him, still does his washing, and can read people before he even sees the signs.
Joel has had only one serious relationship, and after it ended, he committed to improving himself, focusing on fitness, confidence, and personal growth. Slightly inexperienced in dating, he values authenticity over appearances and is looking for a real connection. Joel is ready to meet his life partner, settle down, and start a family which is his lifelong dream.
Sam is a tall, dark and handsome gym owner with a genuine, boy next door charm. After spending time in the US, he was inspired by its dynamic fitness culture and brought that energy home to Adelaide, where he built a successful cycle spin studio.
Sam has had two meaningful relationships, both shaped by distance, one ending when he returned from the US, and the other when his partner relocated for work. He’s extremely close to his parents and deeply inspired by their long, loving marriage, which set the standard for what he wants in a relationship.
A natural romantic, Sam is thoughtful and nurturing with his partner. He prefers to build a strong connection before diving in, embracing a slow burn approach and hoping his future husband will appreciate that. He’s drawn to a fit, emotionally mature, masculine man, someone who can belt out Taylor Swift in the hallway, then happily get his hands dirty around a campfire.
Tyson is a tanned, fit Gold Coast man who buys, flips, and sells properties. A former soldier, he served six years in the army, including a tour in Afghanistan, which instilled discipline and structure in him.
At 23, he married a Mormon woman from Utah, maintaining a long-distance relationship during his deployment. The marriage ended after she moved to Australia, and he’s been single for six years.
Tyson sees himself as a provider and protector who likes to take charge in relationships. A devout Christian who hopes his future partner is open to his faith. Known for his directness and strong opinions, Tyson is regimented, conservative, and unafraid to stand by his beliefs, even when they’re polarising. He’s looking for a loyal woman with shared values, not a long dating history, who appreciates honesty and commitment.
Why is tonight’s episode scheduled to be the length of a movie.
3hr 45min
It’s not. Where are you seeing that?
It’s 7pm - 8:45pm.
I was reading the Olympic description on 9Gem and wondering why it was on Nine at 9.45pm local
Because 60 Minutes is at 8:45pm.
I forgot 60 Minutes is returning for 2026 tonight - thought it was next Sunday
It’s still not 3hr 45 minutes though.
Well that was disappointing to have Brook run out like that just as Mel was starting to get stuck into her.
Quick to dish out toxicity to others, but when someone sits her down to confront her behaviour she folds and runs
