Married at First Sight

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.

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 started watching this after seeing a commercial for it and couldn't believe how ridiculous it sounded. It was like a train wreck I didn't want to see but was intrigued. Upon watching the first episode of the first season I thought maybe this could be interesting after all. But I soon realized it was anything but. I'd say I'd you're going to watch this then it may be worth watching the first season, but beyond that it's a waste of time.

Firstly, the success rate of this show is abysmal. Either the "experts" don't know what they're doing, or they're doing the best they can with the limited sample size, or both. I also feel like the show is really drawn out, which makes each subsequent episode more and more boring. But most importantly after 8 seasons and a 27% success rate means that this show has serious credibility issues. Clearly, whatever they are doing isn't working. If the success rate was higher, I'd actually be more open to the concept of this show. It's like the "experts" are determined to prove their "skill" instead of doing real science, which is to admit when something isn't working and revise the method.

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.
