A very objective ranking of the MAFS Australia 2025 grooms by their whopping red flags

Is the selection of 2025 grooms objectively the worse line-up on MAFS Australia ever? I think so. Each episode of MAFS Australia 2025 feels like a sociology documentary on what is wrong with men. Here are all the MAFS Australia 2025 grooms ranked by how many red flags I think they’re giving. Honestly, this was tough. So many of the MAFS Australia 2025 grooms make me lose faith in the human species.

12. Jeff

He cooks eggs, steams dresses and doesn’t say anything downright misogynist. This might be the literal bare minimum, but most men don’t even reach this level. Green flags all around.

11. Billy

We didn’t see much of Billy before he and Sierah called it quits, but he seemed perfectly sound. Plus, his friendship with Dave is super wholesome.

10. Clint

The most off-putting thing about Clint is that he kind of looks like Elon Musk, but that’s not really his fault. He and Jacqui seem happy together. I mean, they’re literally engaged. Plus, his two dogs seem delightful and are just giant floofy green flags.

9. Dave

It started off so well…

We haven’t seen all of Dave and Jamie’s relationship yet in the UK, so it’s hard to form opinions. Spoiler alert: they’re definitely no longer together. In an interview with the Daily Mail Australia, Jamie hinted Dave didn’t put as much into the relationship as she did. She said: “We all learned the lesson of ‘enough is enough’. You can’t glorify bare minimum behaviour. You can’t say yes to subpar treatment. We all deserved better – and I think a lot of us were settling.”

From what we’ve seen of MAFS Australia so far in the UK, it seems like Dave isn’t as into Jamie as she’s into him. This isn’t really a red flag, it’s just unfortunate.

8. Teejay

I have watched every episode of MAFS Australia 2025 religiously (most of them twice, some even three times). Yet I cannot tell you anything about Teejay beyond the fact that his name is Teejay. At this point, he has no red, green, or any other colour flags. He’s just Teejay.

7. Eliot

If you would have told me at the start of MAFS Australia that Eliot would only be in the middle of this list I would have laughed at you. The “non-negotiables” list made me question the future of humanity.

But Eliot seems to be really close friends with Awhina, Beth and Jamie after the show. The girlies call themselves “Eliot’s angels” and he calls them his “wives”.

Perhaps we should take note of their collective judgement. Maybe Eliot *gasp* can actually be quite nice and MAFS Australia just wasn’t the right environment for him?

6. Tony

My personal interpretation of Tony and Morena’s relationship is that they were just wrong for each other, so it’s hard to tell if one is more at fault for the relationship’s demise than the other. But I do think it’s a red flag that at aged 53 he expects his partner to be younger than him so he can, like, breed with her. Does he think he’s Henry VIII or something?

5. Paul

I mean, the man punched a hole in a door because his girlfriend dared mention a past relationship in front of other people. This moment is just objectively a red flag.

Paul has said since then that he regrets his behaviour, calling it “unacceptable”. The reasoning he gave to Daily Mail Australia was: “I was mentally drained. We were filming 12 to 14 hours a day, and I was running on five hours of sleep. I just snapped.”

4. Tim

Er, remember him? He was partnered with Katie, and only made it to the first commitment ceremony? Yup, plenty of red flags here.

3. Jake

Each of Jake’s comments during the photo ranking challenge was another red flag. He said Jacqui had “crazy eyes”, Sierah’s pictures “screams I could stab you in your sleep” and he didn’t fancy Awhina as much because of her Māori heritage. Red flags all around.

2. Adrian

Clearly, the producers decided Adrian needed subtitles because they know we wouldn’t believe some of the stuff he said otherwise.

By the final weeks of the experiment. Awhina seemed to have moved on from the whole scandal with Sierah. But I certainly haven’t moved on from this. There have also been plenty of rumours about him flirting with other people (including a former MAFS bride) while filming MAFS.

Spoiler alert: Adrian and Awhina aren’t together anymore. Awhina hasn’t been very complimentary about him. She told the Daily Mail Australia he was “toxic”. Awhina said: “He’d thank me for supporting him one day – then attack me the next. I finally realised, ‘He’s not a child. He’s a grown man choosing this behaviour.’ So I blocked him. And he kept trying to come back – added me on Snapchat, TikTok… I was drowning next to him every time I helped him. I’m done rewarding poor behaviour because I feel sorry for someone.”

Adrian told Yahoo Lifestyle his communication with Awhina had slowed down recently due to “nothing in particular”, and they will “definitely be friends”.

1. Ryan

Jacqui and Ryan are in the middle of a complicated legal battle right now. But even if you only judge him off his behaviour on the show (and not on the many, many things Jacqui has said about him, or what he’s written to MAFS viewers on his burner Insta) he doesn’t come across great. He literally said during feedback week “being a stay at home dad is the most ridiculous thing” and “it’s insulting to think that I would even consider that”. Erm, right.

Although this a relatively minor thing, I am yet to get over him putting his filthy trainers on the bed, and I probably never will get over it.
