Strangers Marry At First Sight For Reality Show???
Based on a Danish series of the same name Married at First Sight” comes to America to help six couples waltz down the isle in the tri-state area who were struggling to meet the right person.
Jason Carrion and his groomsmen were getting changed into their suits in a hotel room at the Westin New York Grand Central when Carrion’s best man ribbed him, “You’re getting married, man. You’re getting married.”
Stop the insanity!!! No Really, stop!
“Stop — stop saying that,” the 27-year-old EMT from Brooklyn warned before his wedding, which took place in March.
Walking downstairs to the ballroom where he was to say his vows, Carrion was all nerves. Standing at the altar, he watched the bridesmaids walk down the aisle one by one.
“Oh, man, this is gonna happen,” he thought. Finally, the door opened and his bride appeared.
It marked the first time he’d ever seen her — much less talked to her.
Carrion is one of six singles who agreed to legally marry a stranger for the new show “Married at First Sight,” premiering Tuesday at 9 p.m. on FYI (formerly Bio).
The extreme social experiment uses four experts — a sexologist, spiritualist, psychologist and sociologist — to create three perfect couples based on scientific matchmaking.
Potential cast members filled out lengthy personality profiles, and the four experts went on field visits to conduct psychological assessments, sexology sessions and spiritual counseling to narrow 625 possible matches down to three ideal couples.
The spouses know nothing about each other — even their names — until they walk down the aisle in the premiere. The next nine episodes follow the newlyweds as they live together for four weeks — after which they have to decide whether to remain married or get a divorce.
