Married At First Sight 2024: This year's cast are 'furious they've failed to ... trends now
This year's cast of Married At First Sight have been left disappointed after appearing on the reality dating series but failing to find fame.
The 2024 participants are 'furious' that they haven't built up a social media following during their time on the show and are now frantically finding ways to earn money after quitting their regular jobs when production was underway.
According to Yahoo Lifestyle, viewers of the Channel Nine series have 'failed to warm to the participants like in previous years' and most cast members haven't gained enough social media followers to become full-time influencers.
A source told the outlet that many brides and grooms were 'banking on' their television appearance to become famous.
The only star to receive a significant growing fanbase is Byron Bay native and fan-favourite Lucinda Light, who boasts 139,000 Instagram followers as of March 19.

Meanwhile, Lauren Dunn's official Instagram account has 67,800 followers, Eden Harper has 67,000, and Cassandra Allen has 53,300.
Madeleine Maxwell, who appeared as an intruder on the show, has the least amount of Instagram followers among cast members with a dismal number of 1,254.
This year's cast followings are far from previous seasons' participants, with stars like Martha Kalifatidis boasting a whopping 705,000 followers on Instagram and 135,600 on TikTok.
An anonymous participant from season 11 told the Daily Telegraph that they are now 'broke' after ditching their full-time job to star on this year's show.
'I couldn't even make my rent payments with what we were being paid,' they told the publication, who revealed the participants were given $150 per day and $125 worth of food allowance.
