The season was heavily criticised by media outlets and fans of the show due to the lack of diversity in casting. The series also saw accusations of misogyny against a number of the male participants. In June the Australian Communications and Media Authority revealed they were looking into the season after receiving 54 complaints from viewers about the show. Several of the complaints alleged the series had aired abusive interactions between participants through "gaslighting, social, verbal and mental abuse". The Network was later cleared of any breaches.
