After eight weeks of Married At First Sight, we’ve come to believe that either a) the editing team don’t have great attention to detail, or b) they’ve drastically underestimated the obsession of fans.
Because these editing fails are getting out of hand.
This week viewers spotted yet another error in Sunday night’s episode – this time involving Jules and Cam.
A conversation about how they were feeling about the current state of the experiment, i.e. the way in which everyone keeps cheating and/or lying, was made significantly less… authentic by a recurring problem.
Cam’s watch.
It kept disappearing and reappearing. It could be seen when they hugged, but then vanished in the moment that was supposedly immediately after.
Then, when they were holding hands, it reappeared - only to be missing when they hugged again.
We do understand how these shows work - producers ask participants to repeat conversations or moments to get better angles or better quality audio.
It's hard to believe, however, that what we're shown is genuine affection when the multiple takes are made so obvious to us.
And if this moment is rehearsed and performed, could every other moment between them be as well?
Editing blunders are one of the reasons fans found Sam and Ines affair so hard to believe. First text times were mixed up, then Ines' underwear changed colour, and then Sam's room changed door numbers.
But unlike Ines and Sam, Cam and Jules' feelings for each other seem to be legitimate. At least that's what we're going to continue telling ourselves.
Because at this point, having invested approximately 1050-billion hours into this show, we need something about it to be real.

Thanks for pointing out inconsistencies, but my attention is on the spot-on editing, great camerawork and one of the best soundtracks on Oz TV. Don't be so hard on such an important Australian production (and all the employment it generates) because of a few minor failings in continuity. The show, the personalities and the drama are best left to others to discuss. My interest is on the other side of the camera.
If you notice they also keep flipping a lot of the footage espesh at the dinner parties. So like the mirror image so that it looks like someone is looking to their right when really they were looking left. The wedding rings have been on different hands and Jess’s tattoo has been on the other side multiple times. The guys’ shirts buttoned the wrong way. One of my all time pet peeves but standard tv in tv land 🤷🏼♀️
