Married at First Sight

First, Michael, "making up a narrative," is LYING!!!

Secondly, and most importantly, having so many troubled persons or persons with diagnostic personality disorders makes me wonder if the producers are using innocent trusting people to have drama on the show.

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.

This got pretty boring and drawn out. Not worth all that time.

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.
