During the Final Test Week, couples are given the opportunity to swap their partner in a show first. MAFS producers have teased more about the twist, which is described as "an international MAFS first, where the participants will be confronted with the age-old question, 'is the grass greener on the other side?'" MAFS producer Alexandra Spurway, said: “There is a choice that the individual has to make, and it’s make or break for their relationship.

So it tests our couples in a way that makes them think about whether or not they’re going to make it work or yeah on the outside.” Meanwhile, fellow MAFS producer Josh Walsh teased: “It has a big impact on at least one or more couples.” The new season of Married At First Sight Australia also includes some other big firsts for the series.The season includes the show's oldest ever bride, with mum-of-two Morena Farina, 57, being one of this year's contestants.
