Speaking to Daily Mail Australia after their surprise reunion, Tyson finally broke his silence on why he bailed on their original meeting during filming - and it seems there are no hard feelings between them.
'She's an amazing chick, with a bubbly energy! Definitely a vibe to be around,' Tyson gushed.
'Honestly I had no bad intentions standing her up first time round. Just didn't wanna intrude on her previous marriage with David,' he explained.
'Guess you'll have too wait and see if romance develops!' he added with a wink.
Fans were quick to flood social media with support for the unlikely duo, with many now shipping them as a post-show couple.
'They actually look so cute together,' one person commented.
'She dodged a bullet with Dave – this is the match we were robbed of!' another declared.
Jamie was left visibly disappointed on-air after being ghosted during the 'most f**ked up challenge' of the season, as she waited alone at a Sydney restaurant with a glass of white wine.
The popular bride was left humiliated after she bravely agreed to meet her alternative match - only to be left hanging when her 'Plan B' ghosted her at the last second.
In a light-hearted yet emotional moment, Jamie told producers: 'I'm a nosey b***h, I love to know these things… So curious!'
'I had more than one match? I'm actually surprised there was one match. Now, there's more? I'm unmatchable!'
Later that evening, when her TV husband Dave returned, Jamie confessed she had accepted the challenge - only to be stood up 'for the first time ever'.
Dave, who had declined his own offer to meet a potential second match, was surprisingly supportive.
'We're in a marriage here. I trust her… but I'm glad she got stood up,' he laughed in a vox pop.

How footy great Braith Anasta has made a FORTUNE out of massive sport media shake-up
NRL great Braith Anasta has emerged as one of Aussie sport media's biggest success stories after securing a high-profile contract extension with Fox Sports' new owners. Anasta - and his fellow Fox Sports host Matty Johns - have recently signed upgraded deals that will see them through to the end of the 2028 NRL season as streaming giant DAZN makes moves after buying Foxtel. The global streaming giant's recent purchase marked a huge shake-up in Australian sports media, with the company expected to soon begin negotiations for a broadcast deal with the NRL. Anasta, who retired from rugby league in 2014, has transitioned seamlessly to working in the media and has become a household name among footy fans. In 2022, he took over as the host of NRL 360 and ratings have been on the up ever since. 'We didn't realise Braith was going to be this good,' Fox Sports boss Steve Crawley told News Corp. Anasta has been an NRL 360 host since 2022 and ratings have been on the up 'He's done a remarkable job, and I have a suspicion he's going to continue to get better.' Anasta's deal is said to be lucrative, but the exact figures remain undisclosed. 'When you put hosts in, sometimes they think they've got to present like the people before them,' Crawley said. 'With Braith, he's got a new way of presenting sport that is very much a 2025 contemporary way. 'They've got to be themselves. His work ethic is unbelievable, and he's world-class. 'We're delighted to have him for another three years.' Anasta took to social media over the weekend to confirm that he was extending his contract and thank those who have helped him along the way. 'Dream big kiddos, block out the noise, surround yourself with good people and work your f**king ass's off,' he posted. 'Always striving to be the best I can possibly be. 'Thank you to my family, friends, work colleagues and everyone who has and is supporting me along this incredible journey. There is no way in the world I'd be here without every single one of you.' Beyond his role as a Fox Footy pundit, Anasta also runs the sports management company Searoo, which represents NRL stars including Cameron Munster and Lachlan Ilias.

EXCLUSIVE Jonathan LaPaglia confirms he has been axed as host of Survivor and reveals the shock way Channel Ten told him he had lost the gig after a decade on the show
Jonathan LaPaglia has broken his silence about getting axed from Survivor after a decade in the role. The 55-year-old, who has fronted the hit show since its 2016 revival, will make his final appearance on the upcoming season Australia v The World, set to air later this year. In a lengthy Instagram post, Jonathan confirmed the news and revealed he was shocked by Channel Ten 's decision to let him go. He also revealed the brutal way the network delivered the news - via telephone. ' Australian Survivor has seen some of the most epic blindsides over the last 10 years, but this one might just be the craziest of them all….because it happened to me,' he wrote in a post on Instagram. 'I received a call from the Network thanking me for all my hard work and dedication to the show but for next season they are "going in a different direction". 'Ratings had dipped a bit recently and they wanted to do something drastic to shake things up. So for the first time ever this is not a tribe swap, but a HOST SWAP®️ Yes, you read that right. Channel 10 also officially confirmed the news in their own statement on Monday. '10 can confirm that the upcoming season of Survivor: Australia V The World will be the last series hosted by the formidable Jonathan LaPaglia (JLP),' a spokesperson told Daily Mail Australia. 'JLP has brought a unique blend of authority, intelligence and empathy to his role as host of Australian Survivor over the last 10 years. Acting as a referee and managing the intense pressure of the game while also acknowledging the human drama unfolding, JLP has been a compelling and memorable figure in the world of Survivor.' The network went on to thank LaPaglia for his contributions, adding: 'We extend our sincere gratitude to JLP for his outstanding contribution over 10 years on Survivor. We wish him continued success in his acting and presenting career.' But while 10's statement is full of praise, industry insiders paint a very different picture behind the scenes - claiming LaPaglia wasn't given the farewell he deserved. 'They didn't even tell him in person,' one insider told Daily Mail Australia on Monday. 'It was brutal. After everything he's given to the franchise, he deserved better.'= It comes after Daily Mail Australia revealed that LaPaglia had clashed with producers at EndemolShine Australia over the years, but remained highly respected by the crew and adored by contestants. 'He's so well-established in the Survivor world - changing the host is a terrible idea,' one long-time production source revealed. 'The cast and crew love him. He brought legitimacy and heart to the show.' Despite this, the network is forging ahead with a new direction. In what some are calling a risky move, LaPaglia is expected to be replaced by Survivor: All Stars winner and former model David Genat - who recently made headlines after winning a whopping US$5.8million (AU$8.7million) on Deal or No Deal Island in the US. But not everyone is convinced he's the right man for the job. 'He doesn't fit the brief,' one source close added. 'He's charismatic, sure - but Survivor needs someone with gravitas. David is not Jonathan, and viewers will notice that.' The hosting change comes amid a ratings slump for the once high-flying franchise. The most recent season, Brains v Brawn II, saw viewership plummet to as low as 486,000 total overnight viewers - a far cry from the million-plus numbers it once pulled. And the drama doesn't stop there. Producers have been scrambling to cast the next season, which is slated for 2026. In fact, casting was so challenging that the deadline was extended to June 1 - and desperate producers even started poaching rejected applicants from Married At First Sight. 'Casting has been a nightmare,' another well-placed insider dished. 'Some of the MAFS applicants actually seemed like a better fit for Survivor - but the fact producers were even going down that road shows how bad things have gotten.' Despite the upheaval, Australian Survivor: Australia v The World is still set to hit screens later this year – with LaPaglia's final season already filmed between September and October 2024. The format will see Aussie castaways face off against international Survivor royalty in what's been described as a cross-continent showdown.
