ALESSANDRA'S EXPERT OPINION: 'SOME OF THEM JUST WANT TO BE FAMOUS!'

Sexologist Alessandra Rampolla sets the record straight on the show's participants- and her own love life

It’s been a long, brutal season of Married At First Sight Australia, but with the final episode fast approaching, expert Alessandra Rampolla is feeling positive.

“We do have love stories this year that I’m very proud and excited about,” the 48-year-old clinical sexologist tells, adding that the show’s youngest couple, Tahnee, 27, and Ollie, 26, have been “shining bright from day one” of the show.

She continues, “But aside from Tahnee and Ollie, I’m very excited about some of the couples this year that actually make it through and build good, strong relationships. It’s possible, it takes work and I think people are going to be surprised.”

Of course, it hasn’t all been love stories. The experts have spent a lot of time calling people out, including the experiment’s most controversial participant, Harrison, who’s been in an on-again, off-again relationship with Bronte.

“It’s very obvious that Harrison has some very polarising and very bad behaviour – the tone, the way that he deflects, the way that he throws grenades and his meddling,” Alessandra says. “It’s interesting when you see Bronte making excuses so often for the bad behaviours. I think it’s important that we call out when things that shouldn’t be made light of are being made light of.”
