Married at First Sight

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.

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.

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.

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.

How about doing episodes for the over 50 singles trying to find love for a second time? I think you will be surprised hoe the audience could relate to a different age group. Just because we are older doesn't mean we are dead to happiness and desire! Call it....Married At First Site....Senior Edition!!
