What goes down in secret two hour break MAFS cast take during dinner parties, revealed

It turns out there’s a huge two hour break in the middle of every MAFS Australia dinner party, that us watching at home don’t get to see. It doesn’t actually go straight from the participants arriving and having a drink, to being told “dinner is served” and taking their seats around the table.

MAFS Australia 2024 bride Eden Harper was the one to spill all the behind the scenes secrets. Speaking with Yahoo Australia, she revealed the dinner party isn’t all drinking and eating. The cast members are swiftly reminded they’re on a TV show, and there’s a lot of admin that goes on through the day.

“What people miss is that after the cocktail room and before the dinner party, you go back into a tent for like an hour,” she explained. “Two hours sometimes. You do voxies. Every person does a voxie. And then there’s the photoshoots. You know how every couple has the photos together? That’s in between the cocktail party and the dinner party.”

For those who aren’t aware, a “voxy” is like a vox pop interview. Eden means filming some of the small piece-to-camera style interviews that are shown with individual cast members throughout the episode.

She continued: “You might notice now that I’m saying it – if you look at the cocktail party, usually when they do the ‘ding ding ding’ [announcing dinner is served] and we’re walking through, it’s daylight. Then when you see them sit at the table, the sun’s down. It’s pitch black. It’s because there’s a two hour gap, like 5pm to 7pm.”

The MAFS Australia dinner parties are filmed in an unused warehouse. They apparently take around six to eight hours to film in total. Well, now you know!
