Relationship Expert John Aiken On MAFS Drama And Red Flags

MAFS Australia is back and it is already delivering the drama we love. We sit down with expert John Aiken to get his take on the new cast and why this season feels more confronting than ever. John breaks down the "blue and pink jobs" trend currently taking over dating and explains why people getting their relationship advice from a TikTok algorithm is a major worry. We also discuss the communication killers that break couples apart, from character assassinations to the inability to say sorry. Plus, John gives us a look at what happens when the cameras go down. He reveals how long those intense commitment ceremonies actually take and what it is like sitting across from couples who are sending him daggers after receiving hardcore feedback.
