Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine I would be a chauffeur for reality TV stars, but last year I once again became the unofficial Uber driver for the Married At First Sight gang.
I became the preferred mode of transport for this wild bunch, touring Sydney with a car full of love and attention seekers while filming the Channel Nine show.
I would compare my adventures as your personal driver to an episode of Days Of Their Lives.
It was a rollercoaster of drama, from airport pickups to beach day drop-offs and overnight getaways.
And yes, my dash cam captured a lot of things, which helped me create my own version of uncut MAFS.

This year, a record 17 stars, including fan favorites and villains, crammed into my trusty Toyota, transforming it into a mobile confessional.
Lauren Dunn, Sara Mesa and Jonathan McCullough, among others, shared their deepest, darkest secrets.
Here’s a glimpse of what happened during my unforgettable encounters with the MAFS stars.
MAFS’ ‘most mature boyfriend’ Richard was the first cast member to hitchhike just weeks before filming

Richard, MAFS’s ‘most mature boyfriend’, was the first cast member to hitchhike just weeks before filming.
It was a hot day and the 62-year-old didn’t know where to catch replacement buses after the local train station was closed due to track works.
It was fun and incredibly grateful; I was quite surprised.
It was a short drive to Tamarama Beach, where I took some cheeky photos of him taking a dip in the ocean before deciding to race back to Skye Suites in hopes of seeing more exciting action.
Jayden and Eden were inseparable as they climbed into my car alongside Jono and Tim, who confessed that they were very excited to get away from their TV wives.

Drama king Jono talked about Laura’s weekend plans without him, leading to group banter that made the trip anything but boring.
I asked the group if they didn’t mind if I stayed to take some photos and they jumped at the opportunity.
After a few hours sunbathing on Clovelly Beach, we went to a nearby cafe for a bite to eat before dropping the boys off at the local cinemas and, surprisingly, Eden returned to the hotel alone.

Eden had her suspicions about me and kept her guard up when it came to questions about her marriage to Jayden.
Looking back, it could have been the beginning of the end for the couple, who announced their split this week.
Lauren Dunn and Sara Mesa were probably two of my favorite brides of the season. Ali spent days with the duo driving to hair and makeup appointments before drama-filled dinners.

There was one particularly funny moment when Lauren wasn’t too impressed to sit next to my spare tire in the back seat.
His carefree attitude was infectious, turning routine trips into unexpected adventures, including a spontaneous stroll to an eclectic Backstreet Boys and Kanye West mixtape, courtesy of DJ Jayden Eynaud.

Jono’s biggest regret, and he won’t appear on the show
The boyfriend she was closest with was Jono McCullough, who revealed his sadness following his split from Laura.
He sought solace in my passenger seat, lamenting not his lost love but his failed game strategy.
Ali’s closest boyfriend was Jono McCullough, who revealed his sadness after his separation from Laura.
Jono and Ellie were happy to hitchhike while returning to Sydney earlier this month.
Just a few hours after Lauren dropped me off at Final Vows, I received a text from her asking if I wanted to catch up before she got back home to the Gold Coast.
He confessed that he was worried about his edition after everything that happened. between him and Lauren and admitted that he blocked her.
‘MAFS is a crazy game. “Some people play it really well, but I didn’t play it well and Lauren played it really well,” he said before saying goodbye.
Tristan’s ‘Ali’s Uber’ Review Was Unforgiving
Tristan Gives Brutal Feedback After Noticing Dash Cam
And how could I forget Tristan’s unforgettable ‘review’ of my esteemed taxi service?
The moment he saw the dash cam, Tristan transformed into an impromptu critic, offering his unfiltered thoughts with the panache of a seasoned comedian.
‘Hey, we’re filming on this. Oh, no way. I was in my own little world for a while,” she said.
But Tristan was just warming up.
The boyfriend closest to me was Jono McCullough, who revealed his sadness after his separation from Laura.
“The hero is in the front, the villains in the back,” he joked, casting a mischievous glance toward Jono and Ellie, who were unknowingly cast in the roles of backseat antagonists in Tristan’s improvised script.
But Tristan wasn’t done. He then directed his attention to the amenities (or lack thereof) at ‘Ali’s Uber’.
‘Welcome to Ali’s Uber. It doesn’t supply the auxiliary cable,’ he lamented.
‘There are no water bottles here. What the fuck? I have more than two days, because now I’m a diva, Ali.
I had everyone in stitches, underlining the hilarity that ensued every time a MAFS star got into my car.
