WATCH BELOW: Jessika Power BLOWS the lid off the premiere!
Jessika infamously found love and heartbreak with two grooms.
Now, one year on, Jess is sharing her thoughts on the new gang exclusively with New Idea!
Her most shocking revelation? The season six alum reveals the show’s producers are recycling everything from lines… to romantic wedding spots!
“Poppy and Luke’s wedding was actually filmed in the same place as my and Dan’s final vows, so that was strange to watch… it made me feel a little bit upset.”
She’s also pegged Stacey Hampton as one of this year’s villains… So we’ll have to watch and see!
Tonight, after a quick intro to all this year’s participants, we watched as the first two couples – Poppy Marie and Luke Eglin, and Cathy Evans and Josh Pihlak – said their vows.
For one couple, it looked like love at first sight might truly exist; but for the other, things got off to a much rockier start.
Josh was obviously stoked when he saw Cathy walking towards him down the aisle.
“Strewth!” he commented as her saw his blushing bride.
“Look at those eyes.”
And Cathy seemed just as chuffed as she introduced herself to Josh. The pair looked instantly at ease, sharing jokes and connecting on a deeper level.
The pair even admitted that they each think the other could be ‘The One’!
Things didn’t go quite as smoothly for Poppy and Luke, with the bride struggling after leaving her two-year-old twin boys at home to embark on her quest for love.
Though she made it through the vows, the tearful bride went into panic mode during the photoshoot and reception.
Luke worked hard to be supportive but admitted he was hurt by the situation.
Luckily, Poppy’s friends could see that Luke seemed to be a genuine, lovely guy, and helped Poppy to shift into a better headspace towards the end of the night.
So, by the end of episode 1, there were smiles all round and two couples that honestly seem to be good matches.
Bring on more MAFS 2020!
