`MAFS Cast Left Invisible After Instagram Glitch`

BBG News

In simple terms, the participants of Married at First Sight 2025 were disheartened when a technical error on Instagram led some of them to lose out on gaining many followers.

Daily Mail Australia has uncovered that brides Rhi Disljenkovic, Jamie Marinos, and Morena Farina, along with grooms Jeff Gobbels and Adrian Araouzou, have experienced a type of ban on social media where they become virtually undetectable to followers during the vital debut week.

The issue significantly limits the rising social media personalities’ ability to capitalize on their influence at a time when it matters most in their public careers.

The timing couldn’t be less ideal, since it’s during premiere week that reality TV celebrities usually see a significant increase in their online fanbase – a considerable advantage for future prospects.

‘This is an absolute nightmare,’ a production insider told Daily Mail Australia.

Many contestants view expanding their social media following as a major advantage of participating in the show. However, now, they feel they’re falling behind.

Followers drop while co-stars skyrocket  

Morena Farina has experienced one of the most significant reductions in followers, currently standing at only 997 – a noticeable difference from the usual surge in followers that new contestants typically gain during their debut week.

In a similar vein, Jamie Marinos and Rhi Disljenkovic both have relatively small followings, with Jamie Marinos having 4,599 and Rhi Disljenkovic not too far behind at 4,740 followers.

At Jeff Gobbels’ tent, his tally stands at 2,004, whereas Adrian Araouzou has accumulated 2,549 over in his camp.

In Jeff Gobbels’ group’s area, he counts 2,004, but Adrian Araouzou has only mustered 2,549 across the way.

Lastly: Over by Jeff Gobbels’ camp, his tally is 2,004, while Adrian Araouzou has garnered 2,549 in his own area.

Meanwhile, other cast members have experienced massive surges in their social media following.

Katie Johnson has skyrocketed to 20,200 followers, while Carina Mirabile boasts 15,000.

Dave Thomas has surged past 11,400, while Sierah Swepstone sits comfortably at 6,838.

Despite a rapid increase in Awhina Rutene’s online presence, garnering 5,642 followers in just a few days, Paul Antoine currently has 4,506 followers.

‘The difference is staggering,’ a show insider explained.

Some actors are seeing a significant increase in popularity, with their fan bases growing rapidly, whereas others find themselves overlooked and unnoticed.

Channel Nine Scrambling to Help

Despite knowing the problem, it appears that the producers of Married at First Sight have limited options for changing how Instagram’s algorithm functions.

According to the source, Channel Nine has no direct influence over the situation. They are making every effort to boost the visibility of the impacted cast members, but ultimately, the power lies with Instagram.

A number of competitors are frantically seeking answers, with a few turning to social media specialists for guidance.

According to the source, they are attempting various methods – adjusting settings, sharing posts on their Instagram stories, and interacting with fan accounts – all in hopes of removing or lessening the impact of the shadow ban.

The problem has caused significant annoyance amongst those directly impacted, as they feel they’re missing out on crucial job prospects because of this malfunction.

As a die-hard enthusiast, I can’t help but envision myself competing on one of Australia’s most prominent reality shows, yet waking up to find out that my online posts are completely invisible. It’s downright maddening!
