I think sadly the Australian version has evolved into a ratings monster and the true ethos behind the show has been lost. In the recent UK version they were genuinely on the show for the right reasons and the show appeared to be genuine. The Australian version just seems to be really misleading and dishonest and way too many ad breaks! Take them out and each episode would be 45 mins not 90 !
Thankfully I’ve been watching them via catch up so no/minimal ads although I will say even with the ads they seem to have more tv time than most shows. Maybe if I’d watched from the beginning and watched the uk one I would see the difference but I guess it’s like any reality show. People want drama and that’s what they go towards. Sad really as I do like a good love story, I do like jules and cam but feel like they get pushed to the side for the conflict
