Overview
- The season wrapped with a grand finale filmed in South Africa, including a Cape Town mountain setting, airing on Channel 9 and 9Now.
- In an interview with 9Entertainment, a finalist said she felt “blindsided,” has not contacted the lead since their final meeting, and sent a supportive message to the winner.
- Media commentary revived a longstanding narrative that South Africa-set finales have struggled to last, citing high-profile breakups in 2014 and 2019.
- Days before the broadcast, fans shared the lead’s Facebook relationship status as “in a relationship,” which circulated online as a possible spoiler.
- With the series now complete, attention turns to a potential renewal and the current couple’s status, with casting already underway and Nine indicating they look forward to being seen in public.
