'Tone Deaf' Question Married At First Sight Australia Hopefuls Are Asked During Interview
It's one of the most dramatic and drama-fueled shows on TV, but for those wanting to find love, signing up proves rather enticing.
It may sound like your worst nightmare to marry a stranger, but there are plenty of singletons willing to take the risk on the show. Now, one hopeful applicant has shared some of the bizarre questions she faced when putting herself forward.
Alix Nicholson decided to apply for Married At First Sight Australia 2025 but was shocked at some of the things producers reportedly asked - including questions about her weight and height. Alix argued that these questions didn't seem to be an "integral part of any quest for true love".
She took to the website and wrote: "Unless my match is based on my BMI which, honestly? Might just be how they work these matches out. Because clearly matching personalities, values, and consideration for what contestants are looking for aren't always on the agenda."
Other questions, according to Alix, cover an applicant's "relationship with their parents" as well as "what they are looking for in a partner".
Alix claims she was also asked to include details such as hobbies, passions, and interests, as well as how she spends her "typical Saturday night". She further detailed: "The producers are also dying to know whether I've ever been convicted of a crime, ever been declared bankrupt, or ever been subject to any disciplinary proceedings."
One member of the Season 11 cast has. Groom Timothy, who is married to wedding celebrant Lucinda, left fans shocked when he revealed in a recent interview that he had been convicted of being a drug mule. Tim made headlines following his explosive interview on A Current Affair where he said he spent a year behind bars after he was caught using a helicopter to illegally smuggle large amounts of marijuana from Canada to America.
He explained: "I was a helicopter pilot in North America that did something really stupid." Tim said he was being paid to take flying lessons for the sole purpose of trafficking drugs. He added: "It's something I'm not proud of. I'm definitely not proud of it, but it doesn't define who I am and I'm not the same person I was 17 years ago."
Tim said he would earn more than £80,000 per trip. Delving further into his past exploits, he admitted: "I would take off from a little unmanned airport and I would fly up a valley into a creek where I would meet a four-wheel-drive... within a minute, the helicopter would be loaded." But his luck soon ran out as he was caught by police in Los Angeles when he returned after visiting his sick mother.

MAFS Australia: What does the wind emoji mean? Fans baffled as Jack sends coded message
Fans are playing detective after Jack sent a coded message to Ridge.
Jack and Tori's intimacy has been a hot topic on the show as the tatted groom questioned their sexual chemistry early on. But that's all changed as Jack confirmed on last night's episode they have now done the deed, seven weeks into marriage.
Jack Dunkley texted fellow groom Ridge Barredo as soon as it had happened. Ridge announced the news to the rest of the group and said Jack's bombshell message was followed by a 'wind emoji'.
This baffled the brides and grooms - as well as MAFS fans - as they tried to figure out what the wind emoji signaled, and now Jack has come clean about what he really meant.
"Jack had sex with Tori yesterday morning and messaged me straight away — because we're boys like that," Ridge blurted out to the group, but then Jade noted the specific, and confusing emoji used. She added: "You know what he texted Ridge?" And scrunched her face and said: "The wind emoji."
Emojis can be a great way to add context to messages, but it was unclear what Jack could have meant by putting a wind emoji after revealing the couple have consummated their marriage. While it caused huge speculation on the show, the group came up with two translations - either Jack was about to dump his wife, or something awkward happened under the sheets.
"When Jack messaged me, he sent the wind emoji and I wasn't too sure what it meant," Ridge said. Lauren then suggested it meant "ghost" and concluded that Jack was planning on doing a runner on Tori. She declared: "It was a smoke bomb emoji — like, I'm outta here." She then alternatively suggested it could also mean someone farted.
But what does the wind emoji really mean? Jack recently cleared the air and answered the question on everyone's mind in an exclusive chat, where he revealed the emoji's meaning. He said: "We message each other quite a bit, we send emojis, we have a joke all the time," he said about his friendship with Ridge.
"The wind emoji for me was kind of like smoke, like 'damn that was hot', like 'pop off', a bit of smoke, you know," he added. "A bit of relief, a bit of smoke – I didn't know if I was going to send him a flame. It was basically smoke, like 'damn that was hot'."
