Married At First Sight- is this for real?

[BitOfFun]

This can't be real, surely? Who would be insane enough? I've never seen the show, but do they explain if it's actually an official marriage? I would have thought that the whole concept goes against the solemn nature of the legal contract.

She is just not into him, poor bloke. He's really trying but he's just not her cup of tea

He is either totally deluded or completely unobservant or both, he thinks it's going well!

Oh dear, he’s totally planning for the future. She is not feeling it AT ALL.

He's too anxious about convincing himself it's a great match.

The thing with the faces fell flat, I think because if you were 'in love' you can be silly but she's not, at all, not even close.

Hopefully these 2 will be better matched!

Oh man his dad looked gutted!

I thought his dad was going to say something

@Igottastartthinkingbee exactly what I thought! I bet she's not as Barbie looking as his exes.

God jacks dad is vile!

At least his mum stuck up for her new daughter in law.

Oh dear the dads not impressed. I am not sure he is going to fancy her but he seems willing to see how it goes.

I didn't like the way his mother said "looks aren't everything"!! Verity is hardly unattractive!

Her dad on the other hand is an absolute darling! He has every faith.

'Mummy's boy'... I'd be running

His Dad was a bit out of order!

Jack's mum looks like she has a wedding dress on too!

Jack's mum and dad are no oil paintings themselves.

Not sure about jack and verity but would love them to hit it off. What the hell did his last women look like if they don’t think she’s attractive enough. She’s lovely!! I’d love to look half as good!!!

I thought she was lovely too. His Dad will probably get into his head I think.

Jacks brother is so familiar looking. Why?

Others don’t look happy though. Bless him. He’s trying but she’s just not into him

I am not sure why Stephanie was chosen to participate. She seems awfully complicated. There is something very “held back” about her. Interesting there are only two matches this time. I think they took geography into account more than before. Also the venue is rather grand, earlier seasons the wedding venues were a bit meh.
Jack & Verity seem possible, but he is young. I suspect that Jack dated high maintenance dolly birds, Verity definitely attractive, but not that type.
Here I go again, way too invested!

That's a good point. I often wonder if/when they watch the programmes back. I'd be really hurt to see his dad going off like that and as for the mom 'he's a mommy's boy' I'd bloody run like the wind!
