I like this one but I prefer the American version as an actual experiment and not just a mere ratings grab. The fact that they’re not even married here is a big issue because it makes the commitment all that much less serious. Plus they don’t even consider logistics for the couples when matching them, and Australia is a big place with enormously diverse cultural and even weather considerations. That sets the couples up to fail. They are also in a very fake bubble and never have to experience real life with their fake spouse. It may as well be an unscripted soap opera. The US couples DO get together with each other in real-world type social gatherings frequently. They go to work, decide which home to live in, meet neighbors, attend family functions, and make joint financial decisions. This show is really a pathetic joke, but it is one of my guilty pleasures; however, like you, I am more interested in seeing the successes (though there are almost ZERO) than I am interested in the drama of the failures. I matched 4 couples over 30 years ago, and they are all still married and very happy. They were all my friends from different parts of my life. These “experts” are either absolute idiots or just plain horrible people. As for the contestants, it must be awful to be so desperate, broken, and lonely. I was married for 15 years and then I had a disastrous relationship with a malignant narcissist for 7 years on and off, and have been free for 9 years. I love being free, and I will never date or get involved with anyone again. I am too happy and content and I like myself far too much. Thinking another person is the answer to your lack of happiness is 100% wrong. You have to like being with just yourself and enjoy being on your own first. You have to like it so much that you think VERY VERY HARD before you sacrifice that for the irritation, er, I mean constant presence of another person in your life, heart, and bed!
