Samantha Moitzi took to social media on Wednesday to share behind-the-scenes secrets about her time on Married at First Sight.
The reality TV star-turned-influencer, 29, appeared on season nine of the match-making series which fans remember for the notorious 'feud' between brides Olivia Frazer and Domenica Calarco.
Now, the blonde beauty has claimed in a TikTok video a producer on her 2022 season interrupted a quiet dinner party in which everyone was 'getting along' to tell the couples they were being 'boring'.
'The head producer comes out and she goes, 'How are you guys going?'' Samantha alleged in the clip.
'And we were like, 'We're having a great time... We're sleep deprived and [have] drunk too much and we want to go home—but we're fine."
'And she goes, "Well I'm bored and Australia is going to be bored, what do you think you guys are here to do? We're here to make TV and this is boring and you guys are not leaving until something exciting happens."'

Samantha added the producer did not use those exact works, but noted it was 'along those lines'.
She continued: 'And I remember thinking, "This is serious."
'Look I know its about drama and it's got to be interesting to watch but the concept of two strangers marrying, living together in a one bedroom f***ing studio having to do the weirdest s*** and talk about their emotions and be vulnerable and find a relationship that should be f***ing enough.'
Samantha, who was matched with Al Perkins on her season added: 'And we shouldn't have to fight every ten seconds.'
The reality star, who appeared on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! this year, ended her video by admitting she has not been watching MAFS but the publicity around 'fighting couples' was 'really annoying'.
'I feel like this is progressively getting worse... Maybe its because I was on MAFS for the right reasons and everyone is just on there for clout now.' she said.
'It's just f***ing ruined the concept. It's ruined.'
Samantha's season on MAFS 2022 turned explosive after viewers rallied behind Domenica, 28, after she was cruelly outed as an OnlyFans model by 31-year-old rival bride Olivia.

The 'feud' reached a climax with glass smashing and a battle of words during a dinner party.
One MAFS viewer took a shot at Samantha on her post for getting involved in the drama during season nine.
'Shame you were so mean to Dom as you seemed really sweet before that xx,' said the TikTok user.
'Dom and I are actually so fine :) Thanks for your concern. I have no bad blood with anyone. It was a tough time for most for different reasons, ppl who didn't experience will likely never understand,' Samantha responded.
It comes after Samantha became the first person to get eliminated from the new season of Channel Ten's I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! earlier this month.
Samantha was narrowly voted out by viewers in a nail-biting elimination contest, which saw fellow contestants Dave Hughes and Sigrid Thornton inch her out.
The influencer later shared a post to social media reflecting on her short time on the show.
'That's a wrap on my IAC journey. This was and will always be one of the most special things I've ever done,' she said.
Samantha's season turned explosive during a glass-smashing fight between Olivia Frazer (right) and Domenica, which she claims the producers encouraged
'Facing my fears, showing my strength and sharing my scars all while making life long friends along the way.
'I am eternally grateful to co-hosts Julia Morris and Robert Irwin. It's been an absolute dream. I may not be wearing the crown, but I feel like a queen.'
During her time on MAFS Samantha had a stormy time with groom Al Perkins, after they failed to make a romantic connection.
But the pair parted after calling it quits before the end of the season.
