Chapter 1: What sparked the drama between Alissa and David?
Hello and welcome to another special episode of the Maths Funny Podcast with another investigation where I have left no stone unturned. And this episode, my friends, is one that I've been putting off for a while now because I just couldn't bring myself to burst this specific bubble for you all. Over the last seven weeks now, as the Mean Girl drama has continually intensified against Alyssa,
not only have we watched her now speak up and refuse to let it slide i'm telling you i was in tears it was vile and vicious way but we've also watched how it's only brought alyssa and david closer together i've tried to be silent but this is my opportunity to stick up for my wife but the problem with that though and the version of their relationship we've been watching It just isn't real.
And hey, this isn't just my opinion, but it seems like both Alyssa and David, they're sick of pretending too. And they've been spilling little things here and there for weeks now, but it's only now in this podcast that you're about to listen to that this is the first time that all the little scraps of information and pieces of the puzzle have been put together.
And once you're aware of everything and the wider context, I think it's going to leave you questioning why the hell wouldn't they air any of this on TV? Now, as usual, guys, let's start at the very beginning. July last year, Alyssa and David's wedding day.
Chapter 2: How did Alissa and David's relationship evolve during filming?
And if you cast your minds back seven weeks now, as we watched the episode on TV at the start of this season, We were actually all kind of outraged. Wow, do I have to do it right now?
Yeah, you have to get on one knee.
We'll see.
No, I'm not going to marry you until you get down on one knee and ask me to marry you. It's too late, babe. I'm not marrying you until you get down on one knee and propose to me.
That night and that awkward scene with Alyssa's demand for David to get down on one knee.
it left Australia screaming at their TVs.
And it planted this seed that, this season, Alyssa was gonna be the one bringing the drama.
Wow, do I have to do it right now?
As far as I'm told, Alyssa and David, they were initially cast on this show to clash exactly like they did there, minutes into first meeting, because the producers knew that when they matched these two, that not only did they share the same sense of stubbornness, but they also shared another trait, a desire to be famous.

Chapter 3: What were the hidden issues during intimacy week?
But something that hasn't really been explored is... David's previous attempts at stardom. Yes, they did briefly mention in his backstory that he raps, which I will get to later on, but it failed to mention things like his Instagram feed as an aspiring gym creator with like gym brand promotions.
It also failed to mention his former clothing line that he once launched featuring pictures of Donald Trump's face on, which seems to have been wiped from the internet now. But some of you may remember me covering on this podcast in July with Pedro, who sometimes helps me edit on here. Take a listen to this.
He has a clothing brand. I think he's got two. One's a gym wear, active wear clothing brand. The other one is more of like a street brand. And one of the featured shirts on his Instagram is the famous photo of Trump when he got shot. Remember that with the American flag in the back? He's got his fist in the air. That's printed on a T-shirt and he's selling that.
I don't know if he's got the rights to it.
Yeah. Also, is he pro-Trump, which is a bit of a red flag?
Potentially, but that's his big seller there.
Um, so he's big sellers, a copyright issue.
Yep. So he also builds websites, this guy.
And the show also hasn't mentioned David's previous attempt at becoming a TV host, even fronting a YouTube style dating show.

Chapter 4: Why did the producers choose not to air certain conflicts?
They don't want complex storylines, complex characters, and multi-faceted people. The producers make this show with the mindset of, if one person is bad, then the other person must be good.
You're in a fake relationship, babe. You're in a fake relationship. Clap, clap, clap. And I hope your parents are really proud watching this. I really hope they're proud watching this. I'm done with your bullying. This is enough.
This is done. I'm shutting it down.
In the eyes of the viewer, if one person is bad, then we must make the other person good. So when it quickly became clear how bad Gia, Beck, Brooke, Juliet, all of these women were, They couldn't then include any scene or storyline that'd make viewers then see Alyssa and David as anything but the perfect couple.
You know, the ones there for the right reasons, just wanting everlasting love while unexpectedly the victims of these big bad bullies and, you know, having to endure so much stuff. that ultimately only then brings them closer together. And do you see the point I'm making here?
Like any slight issue, mini fight or clash that Alyssa and David then faced after that down on one knee thing at the wedding. You know, anything that could make viewers then think one of them, hey, might not be there solely for love or would make us start to take sides. They just couldn't include that because it would distract from the sympathy we had to feel for them as a couple.
Because the more infuriated Gia and the Mean Girls made us, the more the producers wanted us to root for Alyssa and David as like a collective, as a couple, as the dream match. And please don't think here that I'm implying that Alyssa and David are bad people and there's a big cover-up. I'm not.
I'm just kind of stating that their portrayal so far as a couple, it hasn't been entirely accurate, which is something that Alyssa agrees with. During a recent quickfire game on radio, Alyssa first hinted at this when she was asked who does she think is getting a good edit this season when in reality they maybe weren't actually that good of a person.
Who is getting a bad edit and actually isn't that bad? Steve. Steve. Who's getting a good edit? David.

Chapter 5: What role did social media play in Alissa and David's story?
Like, she's just gorgeous. Like, naturally pretty. I think she is definitely, like, the most gorgeous. Who's your favourite couple? It's all still on Philip.
Now what's frustrating there is during that game and that radio interview, Alyssa gave the host so many things to respond to and dig a bit deeper on about David, but they literally asked not a single follow-up about him. But thankfully, Alyssa has since elaborated more in a recent interview with Daily Mail, and she said this. There are things missing. There are storylines missed.
We were dealing with other things in our relationship, things that just haven't made it to air. So if you're now wondering, well, what did we miss and what actually went down between them that Channel 9 just won't show us, their relationship, it started to crack just two weeks into the experiment.
Now, according to multiple outlets out there, something happened between Alyssa and David during intimacy week, which changed everything. Woman's Day have reported that there was a shift that week and trust became an issue. And from that point on, it was hard to recover. And Daily Mail report that the incident they're told involved an awkward mishap during intimacy.
And according to a well-placed source, the incident was raised on the couch in front of the experts during a commitment ceremony, but never made it to air. And while the details of what occurred remain private, insiders say a mishap during their previously active sex life led to a nosedive in their intimacy and overall relationship.
And from that point on, everything changed and what was once effortless became strained. Now, since reading that, I've been thinking this week, okay, yeah, something went down that set them back that week, intimacy week, but what else was happening for them at that point of filming last year, the second week of August? And then I remembered something, which as often happens, kind of involves me.
So when they were filming Intimacy Week last year, I actually released a podcast episode on here deep diving into David's rap career, which he does under the alias Kevely.
And in the podcast that I put out that I know all of the cast were listening to, as I was told at the time they were sharing it amongst them, I was specifically looking at his lyrics, which I'm going to be honest, are quite questionable.
Now, as far as I'm told from my sources, David's side career as a rapper, that was going to be something explored on the show, which is why it was so prominent in his backstory. But again, as the Mean Girls plotted against Alyssa and the producers now had to have no drama within Alyssa and David's relationship, they decided just not to do that storyline at all.

Chapter 6: How did the Mean Girls Squad affect Alissa's portrayal?
And she just looks at David like she doesn't quite roll her eyes, but she looks at him like she mad. And I'll post a clip on my social later today or tomorrow so you can kind of see what I'm getting at. Like when I shot that, I kind of forgot about it, to be honest. And so watching it back now and you can see on her face that one I'm mentioning, I'm bringing up that that is an issue between them.
And I don't believe that was like the big issue that other media are hinting at that kind of caused the divide between them that week. But I would take a guess that it didn't help matters because, I mean, those lyrics aren't great.
I saw how Alyssa looked at him when I brought them up and me putting them out there at that point and my posts going viral as they often do and Alyssa knowing her friends and family back home would be seeing my posts, listening to the podcast and... Like, judging him while knowing she's now in Sydney with this guy, like, yeah, it's just not ideal, really.
But another big thing to note here, though, is Intimacy Week also marked another huge moment for David and Alyssa. because it was when the infamous second dinner party happened, which was just brutal.
You're in a fake relationship, babe. You're in a fake relationship. Clap, clap, clap. And I hope your parents are really proud watching this. I really hope they're proud watching this.
And during that second dinner party, as I've already discussed on here, as well as all the scenes we watched of the girls just being horrific to Alyssa and Stella, a huge scene was cut where Chris went hard slut-shaming Alyssa across the table to the point that David had to get involved.
But you've claimed that Chris piled on you that night as well and none of that was shown. So what happened?
Um, that is never going to make airtime ever. What he was saying at the table was so vicious to a point where nothing that he said can ever be repeated in real life or on, on the seven 30 TV.
So this was directed at you, Alyssa and Stella?

Chapter 7: What happened during the final vows ceremony?
I'm going to assume that we'll likely see a storyline where an issue pops up between them and it quickly goes from zero to a hundred. So then by the time we do reach final vows, that ending, if it's as described above, like as I've been told, it will make sense.
And if you're also thinking, well, what's happened since filming wrapped, since final vows where apparently Alyssa destroyed David and he stormed off and Well, despite David befriending Chris and her making known that she's no longer a fan of David in her various radio interviews, Alyssa has apparently found a new famous boyfriend. Sorry, I don't want to go too clickbait there.
When I said Alyssa's now got a new famous boyfriend, I said famous like in adverted commas, but you can't see because this is a podcast.
But basically, the source who told me a lot of the things I've mentioned in this podcast, they also told me how shortly after leaving Married at First Sight last year, Alyssa started dating a man named Nathan Riles, who's been on Ninja Warrior quite a few times and has like a little following on social media.
Now, I was told this a few weeks ago now, but I couldn't really stand it up or prove it other than seeing that in November, as maths stopped filming, Alyssa started liking this guy's posts on Instagram and noticeably his shirtless ones. But when I reached out to someone who knows Alyssa, they didn't really deny that she's now with him. They just kind of deflected and said, isn't Nathan engaged?
Which I looked down his Insta, I couldn't really see any recent clear evidence that he is engaged, to be honest. But yesterday, Woman's Day seemed more confident that Alyssa's with this Nathan guy. And they did a story where a source told them, Alyssa's besotted with Nathan. She's even calling him her soulmate. It's the worst kept secret in Adelaide. Now to me, this is a good thing, right?
Like it seems something went down between David and Alyssa on the show and that she potentially got hurt given like how she's now mentioning him on radio. So if she has now found someone else and he's happy, like that's a good thing, surely? Well...
Rather than just reporting the apparent new relationship as a straight story, Woman's Day they went a little sassy if I'm gonna be honest and they then span their Nathan scoop into something to present Alyssa in like a negative way with their source apparently adding, Her relationship with Nathan, it's raised eyebrows. People have been asking whether this was the real end goal all along.
a higher profile and bigger opportunities. What that means, I'm not even sure, other than it implies that Alyssa has sought out this Ninja Warrior as a way to get more famous despite Alyssa currently being on the biggest, most watched show in this country and this Ninja Warrior guy not being on TV for several years.

Chapter 8: What is the current status of Alissa and David's relationship?
And if you're now thinking and hoping, well, if Alyssa is with this Nathan guy, is he on the same frequency as her, you know, so they will go the distance and stay together? And you know what?
I reckon so because just as Alyssa did that whole get down on one knee thing during her first few minutes of this season and first few minutes on TV, take a listen to this bit of audio I found of Nathan on Ninja Warrior six years ago. And this is how he was introduced to viewers of that show, speaking about his now ex-partner and what he planned on doing to her live on TV on that show.
Two loves of my life. I'd say Ninja and Tory. Tory and then Ninja is close second. I love you, Tory. If all goes well tonight in my heads, if I make it up the wall, I plan on proposing to Tory.
And did Nathan make it up the wall, whatever that means, because I've never watched Ninja Warrior, and did he then propose live on Ninja Warrior? Nah, he didn't. He kind of fell. So that TV proposal didn't quite happen. But hey, maybe there could be one with Alyssa one day since they both seem keen on people getting down on one knee on the telly. That's all I've got for you today.
If you happen to have any information about any of the stuff I've spoken about, please DM me because it's kind of, as I said, a puzzle. I'm putting the pieces together, but I'm still not entirely sure what went down and how it's going to go down on TV. But as always, thanks for listening. See ya.
