Nine moves Married At First Sight special to go up against rival network premieres of both Holey Moley and The Amazing Race
The Married At First Sight Grand Reunion will take place the same time as Seven’s Holey Moley and the return of The Amazing Race Australia.
Less than one week after Seven announced its premiere date for its mini-golf series, Channel Nine have decided to bring forward the second part of the MAFS special.
The most memorable brides and grooms will revisit the infamous dinner table and tell-all confession couch as they gather for the first time since leaving the show.
