There’s a new batch of brides and grooms on Nine tonight, from 7.30-9.05pm. If you decided to watch MKR instead, Married At First Sight is repeated on 9Life at 10.30pm and the following day on Nine at 1.15pm.
It’s screening on Tuesday and Wednesday, too, so will go head-to-head with MKR in the ratings battle. The MKR juggernaut will win but MAFS has proven itself capable of drawing a decent audience – and the ad revenue that goes with it.
We're getting in early with your game card for tonight… You know how to play along! 😉#9Married | STARTS TONIGHT 7.30pm pic.twitter.com/cbiuHWIE2d

We are so torn…taping both MKR and MAFS.
So, it has started. All the grooms met and all the brides met (so they can provide support aka bitching about their partner to the camera via casual conversation).
Wonder if they are going to match the truck driver with the token farmer?
Oh yes. We were right. But did she sign on to play step-mommy????
Did the experts learn nothing. Let’s pair the Perth city girl with the guy in remote Queensland.
So not going to work. There is a difference between lonely and desperate.
I don’t know why they kept saying the farmer is from remote Qld! Maryborough is a big town in Sth East Qld on the Fraser Coast, just a 3 and a half hour drive north of Brisbane. What a joke, I am 30 minutes away in Hervey Bay, a city of 60,000 people.

So John Atken is playing the role of Osher. Where are the roses then?
Oh dear… Cheryl complains that people judge her on her looks…um… yeah…have not idea why (not).
The experts assert that her youth belies her maturity…after the other contestants note her immaturity.
Token stripper…jerk.
Don’t call me Shrek…first set of tears…
Cheryl bitterly disappointed (or should that be “repallled” ) by Jonathan’s height (or lack thereof).

Sean should have gone to a dentist.
Tonight’s star is the horse.
Oh yes…nothing like the faux sister throwing some ‘serious shade’.

Thanks for the posts, Maz. My 4yo started big school today so it’s a big week here at Talking TV HQ. I don’t think I can watch MAFS til the weekend, if at all.
Good luck to your four year old. Hope first day of school went well!
Ta, Gabby. He was really worried about it, so I was worried, but he loves it. Luckily they only do half days the first week.
Thanks for the posts Maz, incase you hadn’t already worked out, I’m an I’m a Celeb’er, but looking forward to catching up with MAFS over the weekend. Really want to see the real fussy guy!
