Ranking the MAFS Australia 2025 cast members who are most likely to flop after the show​

Some MAFS Australia contestants come out of the experiment with lucrative brand deals, thousands of loyal followers, and a cute new partner. Others… well, let’s just say they crash and burn. Whether it’s because of their behaviour on the show, public scandals, or just an overall ick factor, some cast members are on track to flop hard. So, based on their controversies and how the public has reacted to them, here’s a ranking of the MAFS Australia 2025 cast who are most likely to flop now the season’s over, from lowest chance to full-blown PR disaster.

Ashleigh wasn’t really there long enough to leave much of a mark. After being matched with Jake Luik (who, let’s be honest, was never giving “forever”), their relationship fizzled fast and she was out of the experiment before most dinner party drama had even kicked off. With limited screentime and even less controversy, Ashleigh might sadly fall into the “wait, who was she again?” category post-show.

Lauren bowed out mid-season, and not in a blaze of glory. She ghosted her husband and barely gave the group a heads-up. Some viewers saw it as a quiet act of self-respect, but most were just confused and unimpressed. Not the kind of exit that wins hearts or brands.

Veronica’s emotional ups and downs made for good reality TV, but audiences eventually saw through her constant sob stories. Accusations of manipulative behaviour started swirling, and while she’s not completely cancelled, her reputation has definitely taken a hit.

Paul started off as a sweetheart, but things changed fast. His biggest controversy came when he punched a wall during a heated argument, which viewers found seriously alarming. The dinner party tension that followed only made things worse, and the backlash was swift. What started as a promising arc quickly turned into one of the season’s biggest let-downs.

4. Jacqui Burfoot

Jacqui’s dual Instagram accounts raised eyebrows, but it was her relationship drama that really stirred the pot. Viewers reckon her storyline felt more scripted than sincere, and her emotional flip-flopping didn’t help her credibility. From the constant crying to the sudden switch-ups, Jacqui’s journey had people questioning what was real. She’s now seen as one of the least authentic cast members of the season.

3. Adrian Araouzou

Despite being married to Awhina, one of the most-followed contestants, Adrian never won viewers over. His dry delivery, awkward moments, and perceived lack of effort in the relationship made viewers squirm. People have been vocal online about wanting better for Awhina.

2. Jake Luik

Jake had the lowest screen time, the lowest follower count, and arguably the lowest impact. But when he did appear, he made headlines for all the wrong reasons — like when he made uncomfortable comments during the photo ranking challenge that rubbed viewers the wrong way. He also refused to use his real name and left social media entirely, making him more of a ghost than a groom.

1. Tim Gromie

Tim’s time on MAFS Australia 2025 was nothing short of a trainwreck. He hid behind a fake name, “Tim Gromie,” to protect his teaching career, but his disastrous relationship with Katie Johnston and his aloof behaviour made him an instant turn-off for viewers. The allegations of bullying, including inappropriate nicknames and leaving teaching positions under a cloud of complaints, only added to his reputation. His post-show silence and the eventual loss of his job show that his brief stint in the spotlight was nothing but a flop.
