MAFS star reveals major change in 2024 season that no one's noticed

Former Married At First Sight star Lyndall Grace has divulged a surprising detail from this season of MAFS that sets it apart from previous seasons.

During an appearance on Yahoo Lifestyle's Behind The Edit podcast, Lyndall revealed that something that differed in the 2024 season was the way the participants, experts and other people who guest-appear (like friends and family at weddings and homestays) have been able to call out other people's behaviour by using more labels than what was previously allowed.

"There's so much mess and even the experts are more harsh," Lyndall said on watching the current season.

MAFS star calls new season 'a different ball game'

Lyndall said that seeing the participants and other people on the show be able to use terms more freely made her annoyed because on her season they were restricted on what they could say.

"It's a whole different ball game, it makes me a bit angry because we were never allowed to put these labels on people, I've been thinking about that a lot," she said.

"Like the fact that John has said 'misogynistic' is a massive thing, we were not allowed to say that's misogynistic, we were not allowed to say that's sexist, we were not allowed to say it's racist, they literally always told us don't use those words, let the audience decide, we can't put that label on people. Now it's like, how are they OK with doing that now?

"Because there was so much behaviour [on season 10] that was very clearly black and white those things, and we were told 'no, no, no' talk around it, don't use that word, describe it."

Lyndall went on to say it wasn't just terms like 'misogynistic' that were banned.

"Even words like 'conservative'," she explained. "I know those things are a little bit taboo when you're trying to talk to an Australian audience, but there's some behaviour that's just black and white."
