Reality TV no longer seems to be Big Brother watching individuals getting slowly more tipsy and argumentative - now we're throwing complete strangers together under the guise of holy matrimony, holding our breath and seeing what happens. Airing its eighth season, clearly there's plenty to enjoy here.
Matched up by Australia's relationship experts, John Aiken, Mel Schilling and Alessandra Rampolla, after the couples get hitched, they then all go on a honeymoon together, before returning to meet the in-laws, build a home together and, ultimately, deciding if they want to partake in a re-commitment ceremony.
Of the 69 couples brought together over the course of seven seasons, 22 have agreed to stay together beyond the end of the show. Not sure about those odds...
Four of those couples have remained together. In other words, there's a chance! Without further ado - or before they say "I do", anyway - here's how to watch Married at First Sight Australia online from anywhere.
