Anybody else watch this dumbass show? There's quite a few seasons at this point, it started in 2014. According to Wikipedia there is a 20% long term success rate so far. Supposedly the couples get married without meeting each other and after 8 weeks they decide if they will get a divorce. They really try to play up that it's "an experiment." It's reality tv so who knows how much is real. So assuming it is real would you do it? On the plus side you get a free wedding! But personally I feel like attraction is so individual and I never know if I will ever click with someone until I meet them in person. There's something about feeling the other person's energy and presence that I think is important and it's totally impossible to predict whether it will happen or not. So it's a pretty big risk. But yet there are some couples that are still together and babies that have been born. It hasn't been a complete failure. Is 20% odds worth it for such a big reward?

Do you get to choose based on first sight? Then it depends on the woman's cans obviously. What else can you judge them on

Look I'm not sure how much "first sight" you get. Do they bend over? Do a twirl? You can only judge so much from a portrait shot. Maybe you can guess at the size of that dumptruck from the hip wideness but are you really gonna get married based on an estimate???

I'm watching this show and some "experts" match you up and I don't think any of them take the cans into account. Of course this only has a 20% success rate

Ladies should do jumping jacks, guys should drop trou and helicopter. It's the only way to be sure.

I watch the show. I have seen every season except San Diego. I believe that the "experts" hate marriage and are routinely pairing up idiots to further erode the institution. 20% long-term success rate seems too high for the show, I would have guessed like half that. So far this season in Nashville is very boring. Usually by now someone has revealed themselves to be insane, but there has only been one failure due to whining. My wife and I tried watching a season of Australia MAFS and it was weirder, like much more gamified (sorta like Survivor) and the women all had very similar looks, like they were going clubbing and had troweled on makeup, and had lip injections or other plastic things where I wondered if this is what Australia has descended to, it was very depressing. The men weren't much better but at least they looked like they worked out, my wife appreciated that. The show was also definitely trashier but not in a fun way, more debasing than anything, which I'm usually for but have some self-awareness, please, even the Welsh are looking down on you. Years ago I met a nice couple from Perth, they seemed to dislike Perth very much, and seemed to think that being at Burning Man in a Honda Civic for shelter was a big improvement.

There are plenty of nice women in Australia. I've seen some eps of the local show and they seem to seek out the worst shallow spoiled scheming skanks available. Being prepared to be on the show and marry someone you hardly know for the publicity and/or merely because you're a bored rich bitch is a very low bar already. The same goes for the manbitches on the show, of course. And maybe the Aust. contestants are more honest about it, we're not renowned for our tact.

Manfred at First Sight would be a better show. The couples are given keyboardist Manfred Mann from the Manfred Mann series of bands to live with them forever.

It's further exacerbated in the post-season special where you gather all the couples in a room to discuss what went wrong.

Australian reality tv in general seems to exclusively cast those people. You never see normal people there. Also Perth is fine but boring. Very boring. Our tourist slogan is "Perth is OK"
