"As two couples say I do, sparks fly, but first impressions falter when one newlywed clashes with their in-laws and another faces a shocking twist with their new family."

Fans who have already tuned into the series claim it makes MAFS Australia appear mild in comparison quite a statement considering the havoc caused by brides Gia, Bec, and Brook this season.

On Reddit, one American viewer described the cast as among the most challenging the franchise has ever seen.

They wrote: "Season 19 might have the most toxic people yet in the entire MAFS history. I'm not saying this season has the top-most toxic person of the whole show. There are definitely very toxic people from other seasons.

"I mean, like this season has more bad couples and more bad people combined in a single season, whereas other seasons had a bit more of a balance of awful people and decent people.

"This season has a higher percentage of insufferable and unlikeable people, and pretty much none of the couples are really clicking well.

"This has got to be some of the most toxic, insufferable people all in one season in the show's history."

The new series of MAFS USA kicks off on Monday, 18th May 2026.
