Married At First Sight fans were given their first look at the show’s upcoming reunion dinner party at the end of Monday night’s episode, with plenty of fan favourite participants set to return for one last hurrah. The explosive trailer shows former brides and grooms Katie Johnstone, Billy Belcher, Ashleigh Ackerman and Tony Mojanovski excitedly getting ready for the event after only spending a few weeks in the experiment.

Sierah Swepstone is also shown returning and dropping “an almighty bombshell” to Adrian Araouzou about comments Awhina Rutene had previously made about him. Meanwhile, Clint Rice and Jacqui Burfoot shock their co-stars by announcing their relationship at the dinner table.

While the trailer also features all of the couples who made it to Final Vows, fans have noticed that not every one of this season’s participants is in attendance. Yahoo Lifestyle can reveal that four brides and grooms decided not to return after having a disastrous experience in the experiment – which is the highest number of no-shows in the history of MAFS reunions.

Morena Farina told Yahoo Lifestyle that she chose not to take part in the show’s reunion following her tumultuous ‘marriage’ and wants nothing to do with Channel Nine moving forward.

“Fool me once, not twice. No, I declined,” she revealed. “They said to me, ‘You’ve got an obligation’. I have no obligations. I’m done.

“On my remote, I’ve gotta actually put a cover on number nine. I’m done, I will never watch you. I don’t care what you put on there. Change your ethics, change your values. I understand you’ve got a show to do and I used to say to them, ‘Do your job’, but there’s a line.”

Clint Rice also recently told Yahoo Lifestyle that his ‘ex-wife’ Lauren Hall was originally attending the reunion but changed her mind.

“She was meant to go, then she decided not to,” he said. “We hadn’t spoken for a long time and then literally, when our wedding went to air, she checked in to see how I was going and what I thought was going to happen. There were a few messages and a couple of calls around that, and that’s been it.”

The other two participants viewers won’t be seeing in Sunday night’s episode are Tim Gromie and Jake Luik, who only appeared in a handful of episodes at the start of the season.

Fan favourite bride Jamie Marinos revealed to Yahoo Lifestyle following her Final Vows episode this week that the upcoming reunion will be “chaotic”.

“If anyone’s watched my season, everyone is just absolutely unhinged. So when we get together, as much as I’m there for the wine and the bread, it’s just chaotic. It’s always chaotic,” she shared.

“You don’t even need to provoke anyone, people are just going to come in. Everyone wants to get their opinion across and there’s an argument to be had, and it’s very much in line with what we’ve been showing the world this season, pretty much.”

Awhina Rutene also revealed that while she wasn’t being her “authentic” self at Final Vows, she’s looking forward to watching the reunion.

“I entered Final Vows with a lot of fear, going, ‘Am I going to be a bad person? Maybe if we just work out, they’re not going to show all the bad moments’. I was constantly instilled with fear,” she told us. “The reunion was probably the closest where I felt less filtered in what I could say.”
