Married At First Sight is about to detonate its most dramatic twist yet, with three intruder couples set to crash the experiment.

From an ex-soldier who 'hates woke people' and demands traditional values, to a model who still sleeps with his teddy bear.
Joining them is a high-profile same-sex pairing tipped to bring heart and heat in equal measure.
If viewers thought past grooms pushed boundaries, they haven't seen anything yet.
Tyson Gordon, 30, is a tanned, gym-honed Gold Coast property investor who buys, flips and sells homes – and isn't afraid to flip the script inside the experiment either.

A former soldier who served six years in the army, including a tour of Afghanistan, Tyson credits the military for shaping his discipline, structure and no-nonsense attitude.

But insiders say it's his outspoken views that will truly divide the group.
'This guy is on another level,' one well-placed source told Daily Mail.

'He's brazen, unapologetic, and some of the things he said were so outrageous producers had to step in to shut it down.'
A devout Christian, Tyson sees himself as a provider and protector who likes to take charge.
He is regimented, conservative and unafraid to stand by beliefs that some may find polarising.
From the moment he walks in, he reportedly makes it clear he wants a loyal partner with shared values.
His arrival does not go unnoticed.

Insiders say he is already bracing for a villain edit – but insists he is simply honest.
He will be matched with Stephanie Marshall, a driven Queensland real estate agent who thrives on routine, ambition and self-improvement.
Stephanie, 32, dreams of building a power couple dynamic with a successful, like-minded partner.
She has never been in a serious adult relationship and admits her independence can intimidate men.
On paper, their conservative values may align.

In reality, sparks could fly for all the wrong reasons.
If Tyson is the alpha disruptor, Joel Moses is the unpredictable showman.
The 31-year-old Sydney model, drummer and entertainer has carved out a career in front of the camera after transforming himself over the past five years.
Joel describes his former self as a 'fat Uber driver' and says he committed to rebuilding his body and confidence after his only serious relationship ended.

Signed to KHOO Management, his profile boasts 'natural charisma' and a 'passion for the spotlight' – and insiders say he ensures all eyes are on him from the moment he walks down the aisle.
But it's his softer side that has left cast members stunned.
Joel is a self-confessed mummy's boy and still asks her for back scratches and was, until recently, 'married to his teddy bear'.

'He's out of control and completely unpredictable,' one friend laughed.
'Which seems to be the perfect mix for MAFS these days.'
Joel is paired with Juliette, 27, a Melbourne receptionist with Lebanese, Maltese and Egyptian heritage who grew up in Singapore before relocating to Victoria.
Single for four years, Juliette had hoped she'd be settled by now.
She has fallen hard in the past – once telling a man she loved him on the second date, only to be ghosted the next day.

Surrounded by married and engaged friends, she admits she can be possessive and overly invested in relationships.
She is hoping the experiment will help her grow and finally find someone who sees her as long-term material.
Signed to top agency KHOO Management, Joel has carved out a career in modelling and entertainment, and his Star Now profile paints him as a 'larger–than–life' character with 'natural charisma' and a 'passion for the spotlight'
Passionate about directing small films, Juliette is also extremely close to her family and has been tipped as one of the more grounded brides of the season
'She's classy, clever and connected to her roots,' a production source said.

'But she's also got a spark. When Joel starts dialling up the theatrics, it's going to be fireworks.'
Rounding out the intruders are Adelaide fitness studio owner Sammy Stanton, 34, and NSW farmer and gym owner Chris Robinson, 38 – the season's newest same-sex couple.
Sam is described as tall, dark and handsome with a boy-next-door charm.
After spending time in the US, he returned to Adelaide inspired by its dynamic fitness culture and built a successful cycle spin studio.
A self-confessed romantic, Sam has had two meaningful relationships, both ending due to distance.

He is extremely close to his parents and deeply inspired by their long, loving marriage.
He prefers a slow burn in love and is drawn to a fit, emotionally mature, masculine man who can dress up for a night out and then happily get his hands dirty at a campfire.
Chris, meanwhile, blends city polish with country grit.
Raised on a Queensland cattle farm by his mother after losing his father, Chris came out at 18 and moved to Sydney to build his own life.

Chris is kind, generous and a self-confessed neat freak who admits he sometimes avoids tough conversations by escaping to the farm
Now a Redfern gym owner and entrepreneurial farm owner, he is kind, generous and a self-confessed neat freak who admits he sometimes avoids tough conversations by escaping to the farm.
After three long–term relationships, Chris says he is ready to meet a masculine partner who shares his love for both city life and the outdoors.
Insiders say their pairing brings a different energy to the season – one that balances heart with high expectations.
'They're both strong personalities,' a source said.

'There's genuine potential there, but they're not afraid to speak their minds. And in this environment, that always leads to tension.'
With producers reportedly giving all intruders strict instructions to keep the drama flowing and avoid early exits, the arrival of Tyson, Joel, Sam and Chris marks a deliberate escalation.
This season was already being dubbed chaotic.
Now, it's about to become explosive.
