You might think that as it's the most popular dating show in Australia and ain't broke, why fix it? But there are a few changes to this season...
All the usual fragile egos, bitter jealousies, drama and saucy couplings are present and correct but there is a brand-new twist called 'Final Test Week' - although it remains to be seen what that might be, the smart money is on the first ever MAFS partner swap.
