An insider told the publication: "The majority of the participants feel powerless and are sick of being silenced and told what they can and can't say to keep up the facade.
"Most of the storylines were completely manufactured, and they're forced to watch their reputations get trashed by editing tricks while unable to defend themselves."
The source continued: "Although their contracts state they can't do interviews or speak publicly, even on social media, without Nine's approval, nobody cares any more.
"They all know that there will be no legal consequences and instead Nine's publicity department will just try and bury whatever they dare to say."
Cast members Lauren Huntriss and Bronson Norrish have already been vocal about their disapproval of the producer's nasty tricks.
Speaking on the Kyle and Jackie O show, Lauren broke the rules by slamming the producers, calling their behaviour 'disgusting'.
"I felt disgusted (when I first saw the edited version) and I was so upset.
"For them to paint me as this nympho, it was disgusting. I feel so let down."
Bronson Norrish, who was paired with the infamous MAFS villain Ines, also spoke out on social media by posting an Instagram which was later edited, in which he labelled the production "a trainwreck".
Bronson wrote: "Exploiting people who came in it for right reasons by manipulating their emotions and pairing them with their exact opposites for your viewing pleasure."
With all the in-fighting, affairs and tears, it might be time for Channel Nine producers to re-think their tactics?
