Take a look at love, sex & relationships through the lens of reality TV.
Each week, our host, Maddison Hockey, will be joined by a special guest to take a deeper look at the biggest topics from Season 8 of Married At First Sight Australia.
Episode 1: Love & Fame
In episode one of Love in Reality, we ask what every viewer asks at the start of a Married At First Sight season: Why would anyone sign up for a reality dating show?! With former MAFS star KC Osborne, we chat about who signs up for love and who signs up for fame…and get the scoop on one of this season’s most talked about grooms – Bryce!
Episode 2: Keeping the Spark Alive
In this episode of Love In Reality, we chat to global sexual wellness brand Lovehoney.com.au’s resident psychosexologist, Chantelle Otten, about intimacy. Do the MAFS’ intimacy activities actually work? When is too soon to sleep with someone? And how do you keep that spark burning bright years into a relationship?
Episode 3: Toxic Types
In episode three of Love In Reality, we’re joined by global sexual wellness brand Lovehoney.com.au’s resident Psycho-sexologist, Chantelle Otten to chat about “types”. Inspired by MAFS’ truth box challenge, we look at why we’re attracted to certain types and whether only dating within our type is destroying our chances of finding love.
Episode 4: Falling for someone you shouldn’t
There’s one thing we can count on from Married At First Sight and that’s partner swapping and cheating scandals. But what do you do when they become your reality? We’re chatting to Australia’s leading love and relationships coach, Dr Lurve, about dealing with feelings for someone you shouldn’t have feelings for, not-so-innocent-crushes, affairs and cheating.
Episode 5: Dead-end relationships
Have you ever been in a relationship that you know is going nowhere or fizzled out, but hesitated when it came to breaking things off? In this episode of Love In Reality, we explore ‘dead-end’ and problematic relationships with Australia’s leading love and relationships coach, Dr Lurve.
