Casados a ciegas

This show has some promise but now they are letting toxic relationships steal the spotlight of people who may actually go on to find love. This Paige and Chris situation this season is a prime example of how this show is toxic now and it's he couples drama help ratings.

I just watched this as a marathon. I wanted to love it, kind of like Monet and Vaughn wanted to love each other, but some glaring issues remain:

My biggest gripe is that 1month is completely inadequate for an experiment such as this. I suggest at least 6 months to truly get to the depths of how two people adjust to an arranged marriage. I understand that there are other concerns when producing a TV show, but one month can't be taken seriously. It almost smells lazy in terms of production.

The show recycled sound bites way too much. It was awful listening to the same quotes every episode!

The matching process was hardly described- really vague. It made the first episode quite boring- which worked for me because I watched the wedding one first, so I was already hooked. But what would be educational about this show is to learn more about how they matched these couples.

Another suggestion: it might be beneficial to round out every episode with a therapy session for each couple. It's another chance to educate the audience on healthy ways to confront marital issues, and it might help redirect couples early on, thereby increasing their chances of staying together.

It's slow moving. As in, a snail could move faster. My step daughter's turtle could crawl her tank 1000 times and this show would still be in the initial introduction phase. Then again, the demographic seems to be for those around 12 or 14 years-old so perhaps the redundancy and slow pace is warranted for this reason. Basically, it's always 3 couples. They're matched and in an excruciatingly predictable manner. One couple will be extremely traditional, the next will be one or both partners being either blooming idiots or narcissists (depends upon the given season) and the last is always an ethnic token. One or two couples will almost always "work out," at least for a time and the failing couple is meant to be a surprise as they try to lead the viewer to believe they'll be the ones with the lasting commitment but is not the case. It's basically what would happen if someone went on a matchmaking dating site that claims to use "expert opinion and technique" and married on the 1st date. Frankly, it appears to be toying with one's life however, if one decides to make such a choice then by all means hopefully it works out for them. It would be wonderful if the producer would remove the redundancy because this "series" could reasonably be condensed into a series of 3 episodes: matchmaking, weddings (absent of repeating scenes, please) and the final breakup / wrap episode.

Ok we like the voyeuristic salaciousness.We both wonder what is an expert? Expert what? Based on the current success rate, ie. married and still together it is dumpster diving. Major league players with these stats would traded off or relegated to the minor leagues. The main concern is some of the mental abuse that is tolerated by the "professionals." There should be a safety button, get out of jail free card, or other device to immediately terminate a marriage. Based on this I wonder if the "professionals " are more concerned about their stats then their clients. I also wonder how the producers fit into the picture. Remember this is entertainment as well as someone life. Perhaps the methodology used to select candidates needs to be re-examined. The current couple Dork and Mindy are painful to watch. The man in the relationship has more excuses, obfuscations and outright BS than you know who. I trust they have signed NDA's and other documents which hold the "professionals " and the producers harmless. If not I would be at my attorney's office as fast as one could say mental cruelty.

I think this show needs to end. The so called experts have a worse success rate than people that get married without them! And the ones that did stay married, its only been a few years in and most couples that marry do stay together the first 5 years. It's time for these experts to see that this experiment is a HUGE failure and is wrong to continue. It seems they like to pair up couples that are very different in the hopes that their mate will change them. Big mistake! Lillian and Tom stayed married (so far), but I see them headed for a lot of problems in the future due to their so different work ethics. Season one none of the couples stayed married for even 6 months. That in itself should have been a big heads up for the producers and "experts" to see that their method is VERY flawed. Shame on them to keep doing new shows. Out of 12 couples only 3 are still happily married. Five years from now I think that won't even be true.
