After seven seasons of Married at First Sight,we’ve come to believe that a) the editing team doesn’t have great attention to detail, or b) they’ve simply underestimated the complete obsession of fans.
From continuity errors to rogue producers and even suspected earpieces, we’ve seen it all over the past few years.
In fact, at this point, the editing fails and continuity errors on the show have become so frequent, fans have begun to question whether the entire show is ‘staged’ or even ‘fake’.
MAFS Experts: UNCUT. Exactly what goes down behind the scenes. Post continues below.
Here’s a look back at some of the very best editing fails that fans have noticed inMarried at First Sight.
When Elizabeth and Hayley’s fight was clearly edited.
During the girls’ night episode, Elizabeth and Hayley had an intense argument after Hayley began questioning how Stacey, who has two children, could have a law degree at 26 years old.
Since the episode aired, Mishel and Hayley have claimed that Elizabeth “attacked” Hayley, but it was removed from the episode.
“I think that Lizzie got such a good edit? How did they not show her attacking you,” Mishel wrote to Hayley on Instagram.
“Thank you so much for saying that. I honestly didn’t expect anyone to come out and say it. Let’s face it, she is [MAFS‘] darling from this season. They’re not going to show her second chance at redemption in a negative light,” Hayley responded.
“Mind you, she’s had a major personality change this season. The truth wouldn’t fit that. The order of the events were wrong too.”
Fans have since pointed out evidence that part of Hayley and Elizabeth’s argument may have been edited.
In one scene, a full martini glass was seen in front of Hayley.
A few seconds later, the glass is empty and has been knocked over.

We'd like to see the uncut version, please.
When the time on Josh's watch completely changed.
Proving once again thatMarried At First Sightis very much cut-and-pasted together, fans noticed the time on Josh's watch changing multiple times during one commitment ceremony.
When Josh's watch was first seen during the commitment ceremony, the time on the watch appeared as 8.55pm.
By the time Cathy and Josh sat on the couch together to speak with the experts, the time had changed to 11.40pm. Just minutes into their conversation, however, the time changed to 12.10am, proving that HUGE parts of the couple's conversation were cut out.

The editing fail also proves just how lengthy the commitment ceremonies really are.
Yikes.
When Cathy arrived at the dinner party... twice.
Earlier in the season,the couples gathered for yet another drama-filled dinner party.
To attempt to lighten the mood, Steve and Mishel gifted the other contestants with teddy bears.
During the scene, Mishel was seen giving Cathy a pink bear. A few moments later, Cathy was then seen sitting on the sofa with fellow brides Connie and Aleks.

Weirdly enough, in a later scene, Cathy was seen travelling alone to the dinner party, arriving and greeting the other contestants... despite the fact that we'd already seen her at the dinner party in multiple scenes.

A few scenes later, however, Cathy "arrived". Image: Channel Nine.
So. Many. Continuity. Errors.
Lizzie and Seb's hometown visit.
During the hometown episodes ofMarried at First Sight,Lizzie met Seb's friends in his hometown of Adelaide.
So naturally, the producers decided to show us some picturesque shots of the city before all the drama went down.
The only problem was, the footage was very cleary....notAdelaide.
In fact, the shots were quite obviously taken at Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast, over 2000km away... in a different state.

And it definitely didn't go unnoticed by fans.
Especially when viewers saw a close up of a sign that clearly read "Surfers Paradise."Yikes.

Another very clear sign that it's not Adelaide. Image: Nine.
The editing fail was shared on the MAFS Funny Instagram account, too.

The disappearing saucepan.
During the hometown dates, Jonethen was seen preparing dinner for Connie and his straw fedora wearing roommate.
While discussing their relationship with the roommate, a saucepan was seen on the stove.
But 10 seconds later, the saucepan completely disappeared from the shot.

Where did it go...? Image: Channel Nine.
Cool.
Steve's disappearing beard.
During one commitment ceremony,fans noticed that Steve's beard... disappeared.
While speaking to the experts, Steve was seenwithstubble. But after Mishel shared her decision to stay, Steve suddenly appeared clean-shaven, before appearing with stubble again just seconds later.
"When the commitment ceremony is so long, Steve grows a beard while sat on the sofa," meme page MAFS Funny wrote on Instagram.
We have SO MANY QUESTIONS.
Did the commitment ceremonyreallygo for that long? Or was the scene just hastily re-shot? Why did they need to film the commitment ceremony again? Did Mishel or Steve change their decision? Or did Steve
