A wise person once said: “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results.”
It would seem that person was referring explicitly to Married at First Sight.
You see, this experiment is… how shall we put this nicely… flawed in every sense of the word and the greatest scientific failure of the 21st century. Over the last three years we’ve watched a frankly absurd number of people get fake married AND FOR WHY?
Of the 23 couples to be matched by the experts, 22 have failed.
We don’t… like those odds.
But you know who does like those odds?
Yes. Dr Trisha Stratford.

But we shan't let basic mathematics or scientific theory get in the way of the best show on television.
We're told 5,000 Australians applied to be on this season of Married at First Sight which sounds like a lie but okay. One woman says through tears that she never thought she'd be "nearly 40 with nobody and nothing to show" and she seems to have conflated two very separate things but no one corrects her.
The experts begin with 38-year-old Sarah, who a few years ago was engaged and pregnant with twins. Her fiance left her, and soon after she miscarried both babies. Trisha describes her as "emotionally very vulnerable," but then adds that her "biological click is ticking" which feels particularly unhelpful at this time.
At this point, John Aiken draws her future fake husband from a hat, and we meet a man who is not white, and therefore has his name offensively mispronounced for the next hour.

Hilarious, ladies! So glad that you "came to work" and that your work is succinct and "on point". Hey. I have some goss to liven things up. The Sarah/Telv wedding at historic Montsalvat features a gay distant cousin (pfffft!) and MC (who is clearly the most enthusiastic attendee at this shingding). I know this dude, Harry T, as a celebrity psychic wannabe. He used to be a regular on Psychic TV (yes, it's a thing and I sometimes watched it because insomnia ). He was also a regular at the Mind, Body, Spirit festivals where he gave psychic readings! (Yes, also a thing I sometimes indulged in because optimism and delusion combo). I have had a psychic reading from him, I confess. AND he was also on "First Dates" (on a date, supposedly) and described as a "celebrity psychic". I am not judging him for trying to re-invent himself as a reality show professional. I just wish that he had made some spicy comments to add value to MAFS, like the cranky psychic bridesmaid from last season who had predicted groom Simon's name, among other nuggets! A bunch of celebrity psychics pairing couples could not possibly have a worse track record than this bunch of charlatan relationship experts, surely?? (PS what is with John Aiken's make-over?? You are too old for the TinTin gelled skyward hairdo, man. Also, you are a few years too late. The current fashion is for turn of the 20th century Adolph hair (quietly barfs) #lestweforget
I wrote a comment 12 hours ago which is STILL pending, LOL! Why bother commenting on ANYTHING????
