I dunno, it looks like they have gone down the Aussie route of more reality wannabes as apposed to real people who want to get married like the previous seasons.

I don't know why they keep making this programme when none of the marriages work.

It makes a total mockery of marriage and I am surprised that Registrar agrees to do it although I would guess she likes being on tv

I am still missing the last Aussie series, S6 and not S5 so I’ll be watching, not really watched normal TV channels for months now so looking forwards to that.

I'll try and watch it. I really would have thought more of the marriages would succeed.

@Lemmings123 they have definitely gone down the Australian route, which I think is more fun! The thing with the Aussie version is that they do not actually marry legally which I think is better. So the shoe is really a daring thing with people wanting to promote themselves! As long as everyone understands that, I think it is fine. I hope contestants watch previous series!

Show is a dating show

@lynsey91 I expect they make it as it is popular. It does seem to be very bad at getting actual matches! I think first dates is better for actual track record!

@HateJudgmentalPeople Aussie series were on Southern Hemisphere TV (shtv).

@Onlinedilema I think more of the American ones have done.

Anyone no what happened to maf australia? the next series was supposed to be on e4 in the summer! I suppose if the uk version is following the Australian format it might be better than previous season's so I'll give it a go!

know

southhemitv.com/ has got MAFS AU.

Thank you, Italiangreyhound I'll check that out.

Cooooooooeeeeeeeeee!! I'm in!

We've got aussie Mel on the panel haven't we, and that lovely Paul from Celebs go dating. I've never heard of Charlene Douglas but a quick google has her billed as "The Intimacy Coach"...hope she doesn't do all that boaky stuff where they get them massaging and the like.

@TitsInAbsentia I hope it'll be good. I think it is good if they are all in it for fun and insta likes Nd not really to find true love!

I can't wait. I live for the dinner parties 😁

Oh em geee I’m in! Love the Aussie one more than the UK one, so I’m glad it’s going to be more like that. The UK ones always seemed a bit serious. And yes, I know marriage is a solemn commitment not to be undertaken lightly etc but whatever, it’s entertainment!

Just found the Australian one of southhemitv thank you!

on*

The young couple from last series are still together, and one of the couples who didn’t get aired as the ceremony had to be cancelled got together anyway and now have a baby.

I preferred the UK version. More sincere. I can't watch the Australian one; I find it unbearable and crass. I am guessing now this has gone to E4 it will be more 'reality'. Will give it a go, I guess..

Cant wait !

I'm in the 'preferred it before the Instagram gloss' camp, when it was about real, for instance the teacher and her new DH who had to make real choices about where they would live, moving jobs, houses, working through family impact etc.
The Instagram famous world doesn't seem to need that, suppose you can be an 'influencer' or Instagram famous from anywhere.
