Married at First Sight is, I would say, like an international reality TV franchise.
And so we've got Married at First Sight in Australia, the USA, Israel, and here in the UK.
The format actually started in Denmark in 2013.
One thing I think is interesting if you've watched the show, so I've watched earlier seasons of the show than I've watched later seasons of the show.
And there's a big difference.
There's a really big difference.
So early on, you have, I would say, a kind of more sedate documentary style of filmmaking.
So it is reality TV, but it's more about setting up the cameras and seeing what happens.
It's a bit more fly on the wall.
Fly on the wall, hearing a bit more closely to that original social experiment construct.
Then what happened was that the Australian married at first sight became this huge ratings blockbuster success.
And so the British format changed in order to emulate that Australian success.
And it became, I would say, a much more aggressive, much more confrontational show.
You keep saying that.
Don't raise your voice at me.
So you'd have 10 contestants and the couples would be living together for around two months.
They would have weekly dinner parties with all of the contestants together, which were often basically just big arguments.
And one thing that they did as well when the format changed was they put all the couples in together.
So previously the couples had lived in apartments on their own apartments.
But when the format changed, the couples were living very close to each other, which also meant that you had things like adultery, couple swapping, that sort of stuff, which again, it makes a very dramatic reality TV.
