I do find this programme entertaining in some ways however I also feel guilty that the producers quite obviously look for ways to maximise the level of human drama without any concern for the well-being of those participating in what is laughingly referred to as "the experiment". Obviously I'm fairly sure that many/most of the participants are looking for public exposure rather than/as well as, looking for a life partner but I'm often not comfortable with the producers who turn to scripted questions (ie the honesty box, etc) that are designed to cause maximum argument and in many cases result in personal hurt and pain. The so-called Psychologists really should look at their participation in this show, if they truly are the professionals that the show would have us believe they are. I sincerely hope that at a future point we don't read about a former participants illness or worse due to mental health issues. Surely there are limits to how we get our TV enjoyment and writing this review has actually made me reflect and realise that that it's not for me and I won't be watching any further.
Might as well be wife swap. People disrespect the "experiment" and "experts" and get rewarded for it! People get humiliated by partners cheating, but the cheating partner gets another opportunity all cox they say its for love. Absolutely awful. Doesn't restore any justice for the victim from peoples abusive and manipulative behaviour, but instead encourages it. Feel so disappointed and hurt by how they handle cheating and spiteful people who couldn't care less about the experience, only want to be on it for the fame. Seems to be no sort of protection from gaslighting, abuse, and overall toxic relationships, just because its "good TV"
Married at First Sight UK is a fascinating mix of social experiment, romance, and reality TV chaos. While the concept of strangers marrying sight unseen is undeniably wild, it makes for incredibly entertaining viewing. The show thrives on its mix of genuine connections, dramatic clashes, and expert interventions, keeping you hooked from start to finish.
There's a solid balance between heartfelt moments and explosive confrontations, making it both engaging and unpredictable. Some couples genuinely try to make things work, while others seem more drawn to the drama than the relationship, but that's part of what makes it so watchable. The format is well-paced, with commitment ceremonies and dinner parties adding to the intensity.
While it sometimes leans into reality TV tropes, MAFS UK remains an enjoyable watch for those who love relationship dynamics and a bit of guilty-pleasure drama. A solid 7/10 for its addictive nature and emotional highs and lows!

Intimacy, you mean sex don't you? I've had seccwithout intimacy - it's just rutting. Would Mel like to join in?
3 weeks in, and still introducing new couples as more and more fall into disarray, proving the experts have no idea! Wannabe celebrities ruining real lives, though it's certainly celebrity in most cases.
With a horrible success rate, any so called expert would be sacked in any other job! Mel Schilling spreads herself thinly over various shows now, picking bad matches across various shows,
It's now full of so-called influencers after a few more followers on their feeds. There is hardly a genuine "contestant" in any series as it descends into the same old cliches. It's time has now been run - the whole dating genre has now degenerated into naked, swinger sex parties so it can't go much further can it?
Reality TV at its worst, no point in watching it any more! Unless they turn the tables on the "experts" to see if they walk the talk.
Eve has had more testosterone injections that has pumped her up and given her more bad skin than a teenager, as a 55 year old.boy I have been there and she/he looks more manly manly than me. Eninem?
Look at the stats! At 9 series, it's hardly an experiment anymore is it? Series 9, with Eve and her muscles, broad shoulders and back, pick marked face from the testosterone injections, (tell me I am wrong?) I've lived in the gym for 30 years! It looks like Eminem now...

The first five series of this show was quite good. However, series six is more like Big Brother. With so-called experts, who have no psychology qualifications. In addition, contestants who act more like spoilt children, instead of adults.
