Chapter 1: What sparked the controversy around Tyson's introduction on Married At First Sight?
Hello and welcome to another special episode of the Maths Funny Podcast. And today I'm going to be asking you all, at what point does something go too far?
Because the introduction of Tyson to this year's season of Married at First Sight, it hasn't just crossed a line in the eyes of many viewers, but it's also raised questions of what impact will a man like that being platformed on a show this big have on society?
Meet Tyson. He wants no woke, no fat bitches, no feminists, no one with a high body count, and he hates homos.
At this current point in time, as violence against women continues to rise, what are the consequences of Channel 9 promoting Tyson's dangerous views?
These like ultra conservative MAGA guys always wonder, like, how come women don't want to date me? It's because you don't seem safe.
And also in this podcast... I'm going to reveal the full untold story of Tyson.
It's like I'm genuinely worried for Stephanie.
The internal battle to get him on the show.
There is an imbalance there and he wants to be the one who is afforded the upper hand.

Chapter 2: What are Tyson's views on women and how do they impact society?
Now, the thing you guys don't know about Tyson's wedding was... I'm told that it was never actually meant to happen. And I'm told that he'd been left on the backup list of potential cast members, the ones they'd spent a long time considering and having back and forth chats with, but ultimately he just proved too controversial internally. Until two things happened which changed that.
A woman that hates Donald Trump. I personally like Trump. I reckon he's doing a great job. A lot of these people that I've met aren't the shop's tools in the shed, John.
Firstly... Original groom Mika, who was axed from the show just days after filming his wedding on July 29th last year following a series of claims from his ex-girlfriend, I'm told that bosses had initially storyboarded him to be like this year's fuckboy, one of the male villains.
And him being removed so quickly and that wedding just being wiped, this meant from the first week of production last year, the show was now down one controversial male. And then secondly, Chris left the show much earlier than bosses expected.
And not just that, but their initial plan for him to be the big bad male of the season, it failed because as it became clear quite quickly, Brooke was kind of just as bad as him and it got to the point there was physically no way to keep either of them on the show any longer. And in the end, as I've previously spoken about the story arc, they had to just make Chris look like the nice guy.
There's going to be... all this guy, and then . The vulnerability thing, I get it. Especially for men, it's hard to show. And they do show it. They feel uncomfortable showing it.
And that unexpected journey we went on with Chris and Brooke, as far as I'm told by various sources, that left bosses going like, shit, we no longer have like any deeply unlikable males left. And when I say that initially they hoped Chris would be enough to tick that box for most of the season, remember, this is how he was first introduced to us. People really love me or hate me.
What turns you off? Facting, needy, and fat people.
They ran that audio and that promo in adverts for weeks leading up to the season premiere this year. And everyone hated Chris long before the show even aired. But then as his character unexpectedly changed, bosses started scrambling going, not only do we need to quickly find a new male villain, but he needs to not just match what Chris was saying at the start.

Chapter 3: What shocking details about Tyson's past were left out of his story?
I could ask, what about same-sex marriage?
As expected, viewers were horrified just minutes into Tyson's backstory in his first episode, which was the plan all along. And interestingly, the only people I've noticed being supportive of his casting are all the former villains from this show who walked so he could now run. Dean Wells, who you could say was the original villain, he went straight to social media to share this.
Oh, here we fucking go. We got another alpha bro on maths and I love it. This guy, I can't disagree with anything you've said here.
And after I did a post questioning Channel 9 for casting Tyson, Harrison Boone, another former villain, well, he randomly texts me in response saying, Josh, as if you wouldn't want Tyson to punish you. The difference between Tyson though and all of those other male villains before him, in my opinion, it's that he's a fusion of all of them.
Because each year it seems like the producers find these controversial male figures who only maybe tick one or two of their controversial boxes. For example, in Dean's backstory all those years ago, he was introduced as an unapologetically proud alpha male and a big believer in traditional gender roles.
Harrison, a few years later, he was then introduced to someone who won't just settle for anyone, he sets the bar ridiculously high. And he was then constantly branded a misogynist by viewers. Yet Tyson, he's everything they were. Plus, he also ticks boxes that are now kind of just anti-women, anti-equality, anti-anything woke or progressive. You know, he matched Chris with the body shaming.
He's far right. He loves Donald Trump plus me as a gay man. I also find him kind of homophobic.
I could ask, what about same-sex marriage? Well, that doesn't really bother me too much. What bothers me if it gets pushed in my face all the time? Like, look at us, like, gay, and they're trying to push it onto me. Or even gay guys coming up to me. I don't like that, you know? I'm not gay. That's on you guys. Whatever you do behind closed doors, that's... You've been hit on by a guy? Of course.
I think it's important not to shy away from your beliefs. Stay true to who you are as an individual. And if you've got something to say, say it.

Chapter 4: How does Tyson's first marriage reflect his traditional views?
Now, to me, the proof of this last-minute decision to bring Tyson onto the show is proven by a detail that only someone like myself would know. And that's down to the fact that Tyson and Stephanie, they filmed their wedding last year on the lawn of the historic Lindsay House in Darling Point, Sydney.
which was the exact same spot their original villain, Mika, filmed his now-deleted wedding, which I know because I was at both of their shoots.
So again, when I'm told Tyson really was a last-minute choice of casting and producers were then faced with pulling off a whole new wedding at the last minute, which, you know, involves recce-ing venues, planning lighting, planning audio, planning the shot list, booking vendors, crews, all these logistical things that viewers don't think about,
It seems the bosses just went, oh wait, why don't we just recreate the wedding we've just wiped? The same venue with the same crew standing in exactly the same spots getting the exact same shots they had just weeks earlier. It's just with two different people.
I hold traditional values close to my heart. I see myself as a provider and a protector. I long for a partner who embodies grace, loyalty and femininity. I stand firmly by my beliefs and I won't waver on them.
And when I talk about the pressure the show faced at this point to bring on not just a regular villain, but a supervillain, another interesting point about this wedding is the fact that married at first sight's biggest boss, Tara, she was there on ground, which that just doesn't happen anymore.
She's too busy, she's too important, and she has so many people under her now reporting back to her constantly that she stopped going to weddings and shoots and all that day-to-day stuff years ago. But this wedding was different. There was that new pressure to ensure it didn't just deliver some drama, but Tyson outraged viewers more than ever before.
And when it comes to getting what they want out of cast members... Nobody does it quite like Tara, which every former cast member of this show knows.
That woman, I'm a 6 foot 500 kilo professional fighting athlete, and even that woman scares me.
