Ah, Married At First Sight. When it starts, we can prepare to pour all of our hours into the show, eagerly logging on every evening (give or take) to watch a bunch of couples try to find love — or at the very least, watch chaotic dinner parties.
But when life gets busy, it's incredibly difficult to keep up watching MAFS. Seriously, sometimes it feels like if you miss even one episode, you're totally out of the loop.
So in a bid to help all your time-poor babes out there, consider this as your go-to bible for everything Married At First Sight 2024.

Episode 5 (Sunday February 4)
In the fifth episode, we're introduced to two more couples.
First up were Andrea and Richard, who are the epitome of wholesome. At 51 years old (Andrea) and 62 years old (Richard), these two are one of the oldest couples on the experiment yet — and proof of why we need more older representation on reality TV. As soon as these two motorbike lovers set eyes on each other, it was instant swooning.
We were also introduced to Lauren and Jonathan. There was an instant attraction between these two, but by the end of the episode, it seemed that their personality differences were coming to light. Lauren's feisty and wild energy might be too much for the 5am-waking, ice-bathing Jonathan.
Episode 4 (Thursday February 1)
Tori and Jack head off on their honeymoon. When asked about whether Jack feels sexual chemistry with Tori, to which he replied that he’s had “bigger sexual sparks” with other women and that he didn’t go “god damn, I want to get this girl in bed”. He also couldn’t say the word ‘immaculately’, but I digress.

Next, we meet Ellie and Ben. Ellie broke up with her ex only a few weeks before her wedding due to him cheating and wants the white picket fence life. Meanwhile, Ben is grappling with finding love after the death of his best friend to cancer.
Their wedding was cute as a button and they were clearly equal levels of stoked about each other. But after Ellie’s cautious cousin interrogated Ben to see where he was “just here to start an OnlyFans”, cousin Jordan said that he was getting “bad ju-ju vibes” from Ben and that he was there for the “wrong reasons”. After revealing that he previously auditioned for MAFS, Jordan and Ben had a tense conversation outside. “Ellie needs to be cautious of who he is and exactly what his intentions are,” Jordan said in a private confessional.
Meanwhile, Jayden and Eden enjoy their honeymoon together in the Whitsundays, where Eden shares a bit of her past relationship history, where her ex cheated on her with her lifelong best friend.
Tim and Lucinda head on their honeymoon, where they talk about their sexual compatibility. Tim reveals that he isn’t sexually attracted to Lucinda (yet), but she’s not ready to give up on him yet.
Episode 3 (Wednesday January 31)
During episode three, we saw two more weddings — and both were as cute as each other. The first couple we were introduced to was Natalie and Collins, a nerdy, upbeat couple with a shared love of Essendon Football Club and Taylor Swift. However, after spending more time together, Collins began to be put off by Natalie’s high energy, leading him to ask them to sleep in separate rooms.

Then we saw the matching of Jayden and Eden. While we were nervous that these two would get off on the wrong foot after Eden’s interesting reaction to Jayden’s kickboxing profession, they quickly proved through some strong communication that they were both as into each other as the other, leading to one of the most genuine matches out there. I know, I’m surprised too!
Episode 2 (Tuesday January 30)
In this episode, we saw the weddings of two couples: Jack and Tori and Timothy and Lucinda. From the get-go, it was a mixed bag. While Lucinda may have seemed like the complete opposite of Tim's type, as the episode progressed, these two gently revealed more about their lives and supported each other. In particular, Tim revealed details about the devastating loss of his family, including his brother, mother, and only six weeks prior, his father. While Lucinda might be a bit too hippie for Tim, she helped console and support him, leading to a potentially strong relationship despite a rocky start.
Meanwhile, we were introduced to Jack and Tori. Jack, a self-professed ‘alpha', needed to reckon with the fact that he was coupled up with the extremely independent Tori. After Tori's best friend got “off” vibes from him, it just continued to go downhill as Jack revealed in a confessional that he wasn't sexually attracted to her.
Needless to say, it's not looking good for one couple already.
Episode 1 (Monday January 29)
This episode was all about getting to know our new brides and grooms. As they acquainted themselves at the bucks and hens party, we were then introduced to the first two couples of the experiment: Sarah and Tim, and Cassandra and Tristan.

After two gorgeous wedding ceremonies, it was time for the receptions, where one couple started dealing with the heat after Tim revealed to Sarah that he and his ex broke up only six months prior — and that he was going to get engaged to her. It only got worse with the best man speech, which went through Tim's previous sexual escapades.
Thankfully, Cassandra and Tristan saved the day with their wholesome reception, where Tristan made an active effort to get to know Cass' dad. We love a man that makes an effort with family!
At the end of episode one, Cassandra and Tristan are giving couple goals, while Sarah and Tim are dead in the water.
