Just when you think MAFS couldn't get any messier, Daily Mail's Ali Daher reveals that Wednesday's episode will push the experiment into uncharted territory.

From legal threats to an unexpected feud, sources say producers were torn between agony and ecstasy during this tumultuous stage of the experiment.

Brook tried to stop dinner party #2

The upcoming dinner party resulted in one bride going into damage control.

Within days of filming the explosive gathering, model Brook Crompton  - who this week  to a man she was dating before the show - began working behind the scenes to contain the fallout.

She tried to argue that she was too intoxicated to be in front of the cameras and that production had failed in its duty of care by allowing the shoot to continue.

According to well-placed insiders, Brook formally raised concerns about how much alcohol she had consumed prior to the dinner party.

She then escalated her complaint by suggesting that she should never have been filmed at all.

From a legal perspective, that's a pretty serious claim. 

Production stood firm, however, insisting they had done nothing wrong. (To be clear: the Mail is not accusing the producers of wrongdoing, only reporting that Brook raised concerns.)

Those close to the Brook say she is deeply anxious about how the footage might be used - particularly moments that painted her as a 'mean girl'.

'She felt exposed,' says a spy. 'She thought some of it might have crossed a line. It was really toxic.'

However, my sources within EndemolShine Australia, the production company that makes MAFS for Channel Nine, maintain that Brook showed 'no visible signs of impairment' and that all the participants' alcohol consumption was monitored.

Whether any footage will be pulled following Brook's complaint remains to be seen. But one thing is clear: she had specific moments in mind that she wanted buried.

Dinner party #2 - filmed on August 19 last year - is now widely regarded by cast and crew as 'ground zero' of the season - the event that detonated the entire experiment
