So Dramatic! with Megan Pustetto

With Britt Hockley now stepping into the spotlight as a host of Married at First Sight, we’re resurfacing a Best Of episode that takes a closer look at one of her most controversial moments.

In this throwback deep dive, Megan unpacks the backlash surrounding Kyle Sandilands and Britt’s public slut-shaming of Abbie Chatfield — and the fallout that followed.

Including:
• The comments that sparked outrage
• The response from Life Uncut
• Allegations that listeners were blocked, deleted and silenced
• Why critics claimed the issue was being swept under the rug
• And why this wasn’t the first time Britt and Laura Byrne had been accused of targeting Abbie

As Britt positions herself as a moral commentator within the MAFS universe, this episode revisits the context some viewers may have forgotten. Because when it comes to reality TV, receipts don’t expire...

In a season dominated by chaos, walk-outs, mean girls, door-punching and ideological warfare… one couple may have quietly beaten the odds.

While most of the MAFS 2026 cast are imploding spectacularly, Stella and Filip appear to have survived the experiment — and possibly taken things to the next level.

In this episode, Megan unpacks all the clues suggesting Stella and Filip are still very much together in real life… and addresses the engagement rumours that have sent the fandom into meltdown.

From YouTube-vow red flags to soulmate energy — is this the ultimate plot twist of the season?

A Married At First Sight groom’s criminal history has resurfaced — raising fresh concerns about the show’s so-called “strict” background checks.

MAFS 2026 groom Chris Nield’s past criminal convictions have come to light, prompting serious questions about Channel Nine and Endemol Shine Australia’s vetting process and duty of care.

In this episode, we unpack:
Chris’s documented convictions
Fresh allegations of concerning behaviour during filming
What his on-screen wife, Brook Crompton, knew about his criminal history before agreeing to marry him
The loopholes in the MAFS contract around criminal disclosure
How Chris is reframing his past in the media
The Daily Mail’s notably soft coverage and what its deliberate 'redemption' narrative tells us
A pattern of past grooms with criminal histories across multiple seasons

Because when this keeps happening season after season, it stops looking accidental and starts looking like a calculated risk.

After one of the most disturbing dinner parties in Married at First Sight Australia's history, the fallout and crisis management is well and truly underway...

In this episode, Megan unpacks the apologies and public responses from Brook and Gia following widespread backlash over their bullying behaviour toward fellow brides Stella and Alissa.

From Instagram statements and radio interviews to private messages that Stella and Alissa say felt inauthentic, Megan breaks down what’s been said, what hasn’t, and whether these apologies represent genuine accountability — or just calculated damage control.

Plus, why MAFS aftershow host Brittany Hockley's critique of the 'mean girl' behaviour is rather hypocritical...
