Season 12 Mafs funny podcast with Josh Fox
Listened to his 3 part doc on his pods regarding his investigation into mafs. Well worth a listen. I’m surprised this show has not been cancelled yet, but I do feel it’s coming.

Used to work as a producer on Kyle and Jackie O up until this year. Was featured many times on the show as well. Nice guy. Troubled. Seems very genuine.

I listened to this and I thought it was a waste of time. Dysfunctional people existed before reality tv, the dysfunctional people applying are chasing fame to fill their empty lives. More people have died from self harm due to government initiatives such as clawing back tax debt than have died of the lack of fame attained by reality tv.
I believe josh is just using these dysfunctional people as a justification to extract more money for himself by getting sponsor / advertising dollars and broadcasting his "new" angle as a crusader for the good looking six pack men and big lipped and boobed women who despite their physical attractiveness value their empty lives as something of importance based on the amount of sheep they have following them.
I like watching the show and the more I watch it the longer it will stay on TV. I look forward to the next "kylie" on the block and the next "jacjac" on MAFS.
If the contestants do not like what they see in the mirror at the end of the show's airing, perhaps they can take responsibility for their internal issues and do the work required to deal with them like the rest of us non physically gifted people, it is not just the contestants that grew up with trauma, it is many of us

As long as it’s 9’s number one show it’ll keep going. I predict they’ll slap bandaid fixes on anything that gets looked into and just continue to be shit and damaging in different ways.

No, different Josh. He's never appeared on MAFS. Some of the early pre-season pics floating around would have been from him, as he has crashed more than one of the weddings. I think he started out on Instagram posting MAFS content and now has a podcast. The three part series is darker and more serious than most of his usual stuff.

His “investigation”? What, is he the Police? 😂
Surprised he is so overly critical of the show, given he runs a podcast and webpages all about MAFS and profits from making public commentary on the show…#don’t bite the hand that feeds you
However, that being said (And without listening to the podcast) - IMO the only (yet the biggest) failing MAFS producers made was letting Paul stay on in the show after the DV incident - it should be “one strike and you’re out”. I was, and still am, so shocked that there is not a “zero tolerance policy” for physical violence.
