Former MAFS contestant Selina Chhaur is well versed on what happens behind the reality TV lens and has pointed out some editing fails on the latest season.

During a chat with Yahoo Lifestyle Australia, the reality star said that she noticed a soundbite for Jesse was used multiple times when he was talking to Claire while packing for their honeymoon.

“She asked, ‘Do you want to whistle your favourite song?’ and he was like, ‘Yeah, no’. And then she asked another question and that ‘Yeah, no’ was the exact same,” she points out. “So they just copied and pasted him saying the same thing,” she explained.

Selina added, “I don’t think he was just constantly saying it, but they just made it seem like he was constantly saying ‘Yeah, no’.

“I really didn’t like the way they made her seem like she was over the top or too much, because I felt like I had that edit at my wedding,” Selina continues. “I feel like she’s quite bubbly and out there and she seems like me, like if I get nervous or if the room is really quiet I like to fill in those gaps.”

The reality star went on to list her favourite couples so far on season ten of MAFS, and commended Sandy for wearing a traditional Indian dress to her wedding.

“I do feel like there are some storylines that are a little bit of a rinse and repeat of past seasons and past storylines, but so far I’m intrigued,” she remarks.

“I love Tahnee and Ollie, they’re so cute, and I love Sandy. It’s awesome seeing there’s more diversity. I just love how she embraces her culture and she went all out in the traditional fit and she had the henna. I love all that and that should be shown more on television and become normalised.

“For me, that’s such an inspiration, I wish I was more like that. She was just so brave to come out against her family and go against the grain and just follow her heart. I have to really commend someone like that, and you can tell she’s really in it for the right reasons.”
