Revealed: Tim was ‘desperate’ to go on MAFS Australia and had applied MULTIPLE times before

There have been some pretty bad MAFS Australia cast members over the years, and Tim Gromie is definitely up there. He was called out multiple times during his appearance, and then quit without really giving the experiment any effort.

Tim has received loads of backlash since appearing on MAFS. He was called out for making comments about bride Katie’s appearance, constantly talking about a “lack of spark” and how his type was “petite blondes or brunettes”.

He was also accused of gaslighting, and his hypocrisy was made clear when Katie watched his audition tape, in which Tim claimed he’d give the experiment a go, even without an initial connection. She watched this alone from what was meant to be their shared apartment, when he didn’t even turn up to this part of the experiment. He and Katie then opted to leave.

Since then, it’s looked pretty downhill from him. Some cast members have defended his actions, but Tim has reportedly lost his job because of how he came across on the show. His groomsmen have also been among those speaking out about his time on the show, with one saying they’re no longer friends.

Just to add insult to injury, it’s been claimed Tim was “desperate” to be on the show. He’s said to have been trying to get his spot for years. So, erm, why didn’t he give it any effort then?

A casting producer has claimed he applied multiple times in the years leading up to his 2025 casting. Tim is said to have spent the last three years trying to land a spot on the show. They claim he’d tried for years to get on the show, and was “presumably an avid viewer”. Because of this, producers are said to be quite confused about how he behaved during the experiment.

But that’s not all. Tim is also believed to have applied for The Bachelor and The Bachelorette before. Plus, he was reportedly caught bragging to his MAFS co-stars he was “almost cast” in the shows.

Yikes.
