IF YOU haven't been glued to your screen watching the newest season of Married At First Sight Australia, we aren't quite sure why.
This year has seen some of the most explosive arguments, bombshell therapist coach sessions the TV series has ever seen, and of course, our first contestant who can see the dead and the future.
30-year-old singleton Madeline Maxwell, burst onto the MAFS screens during a surprise wedding at episode 14 to Ash Galati, 33, and she wasted no time making herself the star of the show.
From winging her nuptials and claiming she loved Ash within minutes of meeting to having a 'psychic download' at their honeymoon dinner or sobbing and chasing a herd of cows after eating beef the night before - Madeleine didn't hold back.
Madeleine, was an actress appearing on Home and Away but has now embraced her medium abilities and her powers have left people aghast with her quirky ways.

Taking to social media, viewers shared their initial response: "Madeleine is just way too much," wrote one.
Another commented: "And we thought Collins was a bad actor…. Here comes Maddy…. #MAFS."
And it wasn't just viewers who were horrified by Madeleine's outbursts - even her husband was too.
During their honeymoon dinner, Madeleine was receiving a 'spirit download' telling Ash to 'hold on' as she listened to the spirits around him.
After she left the table, Ash looked completely shocked as he said to himself: 'What was that man, what the f**k?'
But Madeleine, who admits her psychic powers can make her ''weird' and 'annoying' isn't the only one who struggled with her gift.
I'll get psychic downloads from my guides

Psychic medium Chloe Smith resonates with Chloe's battle to balance the world of the living and dead and has leapt to the bride's defence for those attacking Madeleine and other psychics across the globe.
The Awakening
Like Madeleine, Chloe reveals she also had a spiritual awakening when she was young - allowing her to see things beyond the natural world.
In the reality show, Madeleine reveals that she began to hear voices from beyond the grave and channel people's energy (alive and dead) after her granddad passed away.

The 30-year-old from Melbourne added: " I'll get psychic downloads from my guides - helpful information for me to know."
Madeleine revealed these happened as soon as her granddad died and had audible and visual downloads.
Chloe, a mum-of-three says she always suffered from nightmares as a child and felt out of place.
But things came to a head when her grandma passed and she was raising three young children.
"I was closer to my nan than anyone and she past over and I saw her at her funeral, sounds bonkers but (it's) so true and I have not looked back since," she says.
Change The Channel
On the show, Madeleine made it obvious she needed to be with someone who would support her gift - so the experts paired her with empathetic Ash Galati, 33.
Madeleine soon began to get lots of downloads from Ash and the spirits around him - including a herd of cows at one point.
At their first romantic dinner on their honeymoon, she began to get readings while enjoying their steak, leaving Ash looking baffled.
Her behaviour at the dinner table was not unusual for a psychic says Chloe, who explained how spirits come to her to share their stories.
She adds: "Spirits use my body as a channel as they make the connection with me, for example, I could feel emotions and also pain, my breathing can be laboured, I could get chest pains which is my sign from spirit that they had past from the heart or the lungs."
Chloe reassured us that this doesn't hurt or last for long but 'it is an overwhelming feeling that can't be controlled' - until the spirits have made their point.
Sensing peoples emotions and feelings is a psychic ability.

The medium says she spotted Madeleine's random outbursts at her wedding and during the dinner date - which was certainly spirits connecting with her.
"Madeline is also very psychic, but I do feel she struggles to have balance, and struggles to understand her own thoughts, what is spirit channelling and what is her," she adds.
She continues: "When you have a spiritual awakening just like myself and Madeline, a moment in your life, something makes you open your heart more to the spiritual world. Sensing peoples emotions and feelings is a psychic ability."
Udder Confusion
One scene that shocked fans was Madeleine's reaction to seeing a herd of cows after her honeymoon dinner where she enjoyed a steak.
As she walked past the cows, she began to sob over the fact she had just eaten one and then went into their grazing ground to apologise while a baffled Ash looked on in astonishment.
"I'm going to cry, stop, why am I so f**king annoying! Sorry," Madeleine said through tears.
She tried to approach the animals, but they steered clear, with Madeleine telling Ash: "They just think that we're going to hurt them. That's why I'm so sad because we did hurt them."
"I'm very confused by the tears. I don't know how you can go from eating meat one day to crying the next, but she seemed really upset about it," Ash said as he spoke to the camera.
Chloe was also left confused by the outburst - while Madeleine hasn't confirmed she was overwhelmed by a download - her reaction appeared to be similar to having one.
"She is a very sensitive and a kind-hearted person so she sees the good in everything, therefore, in her own mind and feelings she is sad while she is eating or seeing meat her emotions would be high," adds Chloe.
"But spirit wouldn’t come forward in that way if that makes sense, because there soul would be free from pain and suffering."
Blocked Energy
Since the show has aired - people on social media have shared their thoughts on Madeleine's abilities and behaviour on screen.
And Chloe says she often experiences similar abuse from sceptics which she says is expected as they don't see what she does.
Online, Married At First Sight fans haven't held back on their opinions - and neither have some of the cast.
Another commented: "Does Madeleine in her head believe this psychic nonsense or does she know that it’s b*****t but carry on anyway? Not sure which is worse.. #MAFSAUS #MAFS."
"Lol Madeleine... Come on. She's some sort of comedy sketch surely," penned a third.
Tori, a bride on the show was clearly unimpressed as soon as she saw Madeleine walk down the aisle, adding: "Do people believe in that? First impression... she's a lot."
However, Chloe says it's important for her to remain open and has a special way to prove her powers really work.
"As an outsider looking in, you are going to get sceptical people because some people don’t see what I see, so it’s hard to believe right?" she claimed.
"That’s why I always say give me the chance to tell you something no one else would know.
"I don’t understand how or why I get the messages I do, but I embrace it and if I am helping someone then I know I’m doing my job."
Chloe regularly helps people with her medium abilities over on her Instagram account @chloemediumship she also has a book all anbout her abilities titled: A guide to communicate with spirit - life of a psychic medium.
