MAFS viewers slam ‘shameless’ detail in Channel 9 show | #yahoolifestyleau

MAFS viewers have called out a “shameless” detail in the Channel 9 show. While the series has plenty of ad breaks, audiences are also hit over the head with product placements from the contestants during the actual episodes. There have been subtle and blatant shots of products, with some placements even passed off as normal conversation.
