From the disapproving parents to the soul-piercing awkwardness, tonight’s episode of Married At First Sight reminded us precisely why we love watching this show.
First up, we met sweet, marine biology student Connie, who gets married to down-to-earth FIFO worker Jonethen. And even though they’ve been married for five minutes, we’ve honestly never wanted a MAFS relationship to work out more.
Watch: The Experts – Uncut. Post continues after video.
For once, it seems like the experts may have actually matched people who have a chance at working out. In fact, there seems to be only one thing that will stop Connie and Jonethen from being our next Cam and Jules, and that’s Connie mum.
You see, Connie’s mum really hates MAFS. Blatantly hates it.
So when Connie told her mum she was getting married on the show, she was very vocal.
“I can’t stand that show. I feel so sorry for some of the people on that,” she said, still not understanding her daughter had signed up for the show.

Connie's Mum sounds like the first person to make any sort of sense on this show! But I suppose it will inevitably end with her 'coming around' and deciding it was all a brilliant idea after all.
To be fair, MAFS is only "an experiment gone wrong" if you believe that experiment was to actually help people meet someone they might want to stay married to; if on the other hand, the aim of the experiment is to see how many advertising $ Channel 9 can bank during the show's run, I have no doubt that it's actually been very successful.
I would be interested to see how the "experts" explain their choices while on the show to any actual clients who may be considering coming to them for advice: I suppose it might actually make their jobs easier if they're getting people who see them them on MAFS and think "THEY'LL be able to help me with my relationship problems!"
