Channel Nine 'overthrown' by MAFS cast as they defy all rules: 'Mutiny'
An inside source tells us that the show's production company EndemolShine Australia and Channel Nine are 'desperately' attempting to silence the cast after they united to rebel against them. Not only have the brides and grooms been spoiling their storylines on the show, but they've also launched second Instagram accounts to call out their 'edit'.

In the last week, Morena Farina has debunked every scene of hers on social media by revealing what was edited out and manipulated. Jacqui Burfoot has also shared lengthy posts speaking out against production and defending her character, and Adrian Araouzou is openly mocking his storylines through his twin brother's TikTok account.
Meanwhile, Eliot Donnelly and Jake Luik have found themselves in hot water for doing unauthorised interviews, and Tim Gromie is simply refusing to respond to the network in any capacity. The controversial groom has reportedly ignored all phone calls and even went as far as failing to show up to the casts' press days and scheduled promotional photoshoots.
According to our insider, the 2025 cast members began rebelling halfway through filming after realising 'they're the ones with the power' because there's no show without them.
'EndemolShine introduced an 8pm curfew in early September and many of them started chatting amongst themselves and realised they dictate the rules – not producers,' the source shares. 'They were already individually starting to tire of all the rules and being treated like children, then one weekend there was an incident that led to them pretty much starting a mutiny.
'Since then, things have just gone to the next level and now they've realised they hold all the cards and if they want to speak out, they will. There's a real sense amongst so many of them that they owe the network nothing and won't allow their reputations to be determined by what they believe are inaccurate representations.'
Yahoo Lifestyle also understands that publicists at Nine and bosses at EndemolShine are 'desperately attempting' to bring back some order, but it's almost like they've 'been overpowered' for the first time in the show's history.
In previous seasons, Nine would restrict a participant's media opportunities and press interviews to 'get them back in line,' but that tactic is no longer effective.
'It appears the cast members have realised that once the season ends, they're essentially disposable to the network and there are no golden tickets or future TV work and opportunities awaiting them like it's often hinted at,' the source adds.
Adrian Araouzou has seemingly confirmed he's no longer with his bride Awhina Rutene after he was spotted 'holding hands' with a mystery woman in Sydney's CBD last month. It's also been revealed that he was involved in a 'cheating scandal' with Sierah Swepstone during filming which ended her relationship with her partner Billy Belcher.
Meanwhile, Morena Farina recently confirmed things don't work out with Tony Mojanovski following a bombshell confession that was edited out of the first commitment ceremony.

Tomorrowland music festival goes viral for having full-blown gym on grounds
Who said you need to skip leg day when at a festival? Popular electronic dance festival, Tomorrowland, is going viral – not just for having pulled off the unthinkable after its Mainstage caught fire – but for having a full-blown gym on the grounds in Boom, Belgium. Advertisement It's definitely not something you'd expect to find at a festival but various clips show partygoers embracing the 'chill out area', equipped with free weights and various machines. 'Yes, there's a gym at Tomorrowland,' one Instagram video read as it showed guys with their shirts off and girls in their activewear pumping some iron. 'From early morning workouts to pre-set pump-ups, the Tomorrowland fitness zone proves the festival life is about balance too,' the caption continued. It was described as the place 'where ravers train before the party begins'. Advertisement Unsurprisingly, many were quick to jump into the comment section to weigh in on the surprise set-up. 4 Tomorrowland has a full-blown gym on the festival grounds. @justlovetechno/Instagram 'Just get a beer and enjoy mate! It's only 3 days for duck sake!' one user joked. 'Do you pay for a ticket for tomorrow to go train? No, I'm kidding! Drink a cold beer and enjoy the music. You won't lose muscle in 3 days, for God's sake,' another wrote. Advertisement A third person joked: 'How was the festival? It was good I was at the gym …' Another clip shows the gym packed as a strength class takes place. 'WTF,' one person simply wrote, while others were impressed with the partygoers' energy. 'Strength training first, then cardio on the dance floor!' another added. Advertisement 4 The gym features free weights and a variety of machines for people to work out on. @ According to the Tomorrowland website, the area focuses on 'recharging your body by sports, relaxing and enjoying more healthy food and drinks in a chill and easygoing environment'. They also hold yoga classes, one-on-one boxing work all to 'get your endorphins flowing'. 'Hit the gym on your own or join one of many group classes. Even a boxing ring is available!' 'The recovery area is entirely free and the instructors here will safely introduce you to the world of fitness.' Tomorrowland 2025 had a rocky start to the festival after its Mainstage caught fire just a few days out from opening last week. Wild footage showed its magical 'Orbyz Mainstage' up in flames. Organisers said it was a 'race against time' to build a substitute stage with the likes of Meduza, Axwell and Vini Vici all due to perform – but they did it. Advertisement 4 The music festival takes place in Boom, Belgium. AP A photo posted to their official Instagram account on July 19 showed the new Mainstage and while very different to the usual elaborate design – it was quickly welcomed and in some cases more preferred by fans. 'Honestly this looks much better and you know why? people are closer to the DJ. It will be more about dancing than posting videos since a long time ago. I hope people there will enjoy it!' one follower wrote. According to local news outlet, HLN, stage parts from the European leg of Metallica's current M72 World Tour stored in Austria were airlifted to the site to ensure the Mainstage proceedings could go ahead as planned. Advertisement 4 The festival happened this year even though a massive fire broke out on the main stage two days before opening day. AP One of this year's headlining acts, Martin Garrix, took to Instagram to thank the metal heavyweights, just hours before he took to the stage. 'I cannot believe I'm actually typing this … but my set at Tomorrowland is still happening,' the post reads. 'Massive love and a big shoutout to the incredible @tomorrowland team for pulling off miracles — and to @Metallica for coming through with the new stage parts.' Advertisement It's currently still unclear what caused the fire, but a local firefighter, François van den Eynde, told reporters the blaze 'spread very quickly,' likely because of the 'materials used' to build the stage, according to Rolling Stones. This weekend marks the final days of Tomorrowland 2025.

'So it's just like, let's not waste anyone's time. Let's just not date right now because there's that point.'

Mystery solved: Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham to reissue long-lost debut album
The mystery of Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham's online interactions has been solved after weeks of fan speculation. The former Fleetwood Mac bandmates and ex-lovers will not be reuniting, but instead plan to reissue their only studio album as a duo, 1973's 'Buckingham Nicks.' The record, due out Sept. 19, has been out of print in all formats in the U.S. since the early 1980s. The rerelease, available for preorder now, has been sourced from the album's analog master tapes for vinyl, CD and digital formats. No bonus material will be included. Buckingham and Nicks announced the news Wednesday, July 23, sharing a time-lapse video of a billboard featuring the album's title and original cover art being installed in Los Angeles. Their joint Instagram post was set to the remastered version of the album's opening track, 'Crying in the Night,' which is available now to stream. The billboard is reportedly off Sunset Boulevard near Sound City Studios, where the album was originally recorded. It was first spotted by fans on Monday, July 21, adding to the intrigue that began in June when the famously feuding artists began following each other on Instagram. Nicks, who was a lead singer for the band, and Buckingham, who played guitar and keyboard, met while students at Menlo-Atherton High School, and began dating in 1972. Drummer Mick Fleetwood heard 'Buckingham Nicks' while scouting recording studios in 1974, and was so impressed he ended up offering them spots in his band. Buckingham and Nicks famously broke up while Fleetwood Mac was recording its 1977 album 'Rumours,' and had been entangled in a bitter feud since. Internet buzz about the pair began Thursday, July 17, when the artists shared corresponding social media posts that together make up part of the chorus of 'Frozen Love,' a track on 'Buckingham Nicks.' Fleetwood also got in on the promotion last week, sharing a video of himself listening to 'Frozen Love' in a joint Instagram post with Fleetwood Mac's official account. He captioned it: 'Magic then, magic now.'
