"I haven't read the thread - apologies for repeating anything. I enjoyed the Australian version during lockdown but I really don't like the UK version doing it that way. I don't think it should be called Married at First Sight when they don't get married. I liked the gentler UK version, where they actually got married and seemed to have been matched on more than just what would make it more like Love Island (I've never seen Love Island, but think it must be like this). But, now that I have started I will watch today's episode later to see what happens on honeymoon." I think they've definitely chosen a certain type of person this time | |||

It's an entertainment show and hopefully they realise they'll be edited before they go on it. | |||

"I’m watching it only because I worked with Nikita and have to admit she’s worse in person than she is on the show, she’s a bully and loves drama around her at all times x On the one hand, that's not really fair as she's not here to defend herself. On the second, I don't find that too much of a stretch to believe ![]() ![]() ![]() Its ruined the show for me.. But I'll keep watching for a bit longer | |||

On the second, I don't find that too much of a stretch to believe ![]() I watched her on the aftershow and there was zero recognition of her behaviour... Someone who gets a red mist like that definitely needs help /counselling She's someone I'd avoid irl, she'd completely drain me | |||

"I might have an unpopular opinion here but I feel like Bob was milking it tonight. Megan had been making it very clear to him that it wasn't working and why, and he was taking no steps to compromise on the behaviours he knew were putting her off, even saying he wouldn't change anything for her and would carry on being "himself" (which is all a massive act anyway). They've known each other for barely a week and haven't been intimate, haven't been kissing, have barely been touching. It really isn't as "vile" or dramatic as he's making it out IMHO. It would have been way different it was one of the other couples that are more loved-up. Don't know why Alexis is bringing up girl code either when she was blatantly flirting with Ant at the dinner party. Nikita was meant to be her closest friend out of all of them but I didn't see that stopping her... She even told Ant that her and Jordon had agreed that if they connected with anyone else they could go for it. But obviously it's convenient for both her and Bob's images to act like the hurt spouses... " I'm with you on Bob.. Totally OTT reaction for someone who is sleeping on the sofa ![]() | |||

Sure, there are some really decent people in there but the behaviour of some of them is repulsive. I've not watched all seasons but it's at risk of becoming trash TV. | |||

Some deeper insecurities under the brash and trash outputs. | |||

"I'm seeing more of the guys as potentially great partners/husbands this year. Are you expecting the gay guys to be going very well? I know that Dan wants his rural lifestyle and the other a city life but that's probably less of an issue, if they don't have personality flaws and behavioural problems, as so many of the others have shown so quickly. " I don't know. Things can seem so perfect at the start of any relationship. I suppose the test is if you can still be attracted to them once you've seen them at their worst | |||

"No comments tonight? I'm just catching up." I've just watched it. Those two rejoining it is so obviously a set up that it's laughable. I felt veeery uncomfortable watching Luke fulfilling Morag's request for a striptease, if a man had asked a woman to do that during yes week there would have been uproar. I know it's ok to ask a partner to fulfil a fantasy but I think it should be private | |||

In the Australian one, a man did ask his partner to dress up in a saucy maid outfit to do everything. | |||
