Yep, you read that right!
It was recently revealed that Channel Ten had poached a MAFS 2024 groom to star in the upcoming season of The Bachelors. However, we haven’t been privy as to which of the newly announced leading men this is…
Now, as reported in episode 303 of the So Dramatic! podcast, it appears the networks are now playing tit-for-tat, with the revelation that MAFS producers tried to recruit two former Bachies for their next trainwreck.
“Jed McIntosh and Thomas Malucelli were asked by casting producers a few months ago if they would consider doing MAFS this year,” one production insider said.
Adding that filming is set to begin in September, the men both “told friends they weren’t keen on the idea”.
“But you never know.”

The Bachelors reportedly poached a ‘villain’ for a ‘Good, Bad and the Ugly’ season
Sources recently told So Dramatic! that producers behind the once-successful series want to return The Bachelor to its wholesome roots.
