Speaker 1: Just when you think Maths Married at First Site can't
Speaker 1: get any worse, it does. It shuts us up real quick,
Speaker 1: and it's like, hey, you thought we were already cooked,
Speaker 1: We're about to be more cooked.
Speaker 2: There are all these rumors going around.
Speaker 1: Now this hasn't happened on the show, but everyone's talking
Speaker 1: about them. It's been released by a quote unquote insider
Speaker 1: that there's the biggest twist to ever happen on Married
Speaker 1: at First Site.
Speaker 2: It's never happened before. So what it is.
Speaker 1: It's a new challenge called is the Grass Always Greener?
Speaker 1: And what they do is they've given all of the
Speaker 1: Maths contestants who are now they're so deep in the show,
Speaker 1: they're with their partners. They give them an envelope that
Speaker 1: has their backup spouse on it, and they say, this
Speaker 1: is the person you are almost matched with.
Speaker 2: Do you want to see it? Do you want to
Speaker 2: meet this person?
Speaker 1: And they're asking them this question in a private room,
Speaker 1: so their partners don't know if they decide to meet
Speaker 1: them or not. So you don't know if your partner
Speaker 1: has said yes to meeting theirs. You don't know if
Speaker 1: you should say no to maintain your release ship integrity,
Speaker 1: or you don't know if you should say hey, should
Speaker 1: I just say yes in case my partner says yes.
Speaker 3: I saw this, And also that's said that this has
Speaker 3: been the undoing of so many relationships, so obviously a
Speaker 3: lot of people have opened the envelope to check. We disagree,
Speaker 3: but I have.
Speaker 2: Strong feelings about this.
Speaker 3: If you have made the commitment to be in this relationship,
Speaker 3: if you are riding stay on that couch every day
Speaker 3: and someone hands you an envelope that says here could
Speaker 3: be a better match for you and you open it,
Speaker 3: you are clearly not that invested with your partner, And
Speaker 3: if you choose to open it, it is either you
Speaker 3: don't have a very high emotional EQ or secondly, it's
Speaker 3: a pretty clear indication about how that person feels about
Speaker 3: your relationship. So if your partner's going to open that envelope,
Speaker 3: I would be riding leave the next time I'm on
Speaker 3: the couch.
Speaker 1: Maths does not scream invest it. This show is a
Speaker 1: train wreck. It is not like The Bachelor or these
Speaker 1: other really wholesome dating shows. This show is constantly challenging relationships.
Speaker 1: I think firstly, this shouldn't even be a challenge it's
Speaker 1: setting them up for failure.
Speaker 2: It's like Maps is.
Speaker 1: Saying, we genuinely do not want successful couples. But what
Speaker 1: I will say is I'd be pretty damn curious if
Speaker 1: I was on a show like this. Pretend that I
Speaker 1: am the really genuine person, right, I genuinely want to
Speaker 1: find love on it. You're two months in, You're with
Speaker 1: a partner who seems to be fine, they're great, you
Speaker 1: get along. If somebody came to me three experts and said, hey,
Speaker 1: we put so much time and effort into trying to
Speaker 1: find your soulmate, your perfect match. This is the person
Speaker 1: that we thought was pretty close but almost might not
Speaker 1: have made it.
Speaker 2: I'm going to tell you I'd be curious.
Speaker 3: I know you'd be curious. But my thing is is
Speaker 3: I don't think that you can blame the experiment for
Speaker 3: putting these types of obstacles in place that people are
Speaker 3: failing so now, because the reality is, you've got to
Speaker 3: take some personal responsibility. If you open that envelope, you
Speaker 3: have to know that it's going to hurt your partner.
Speaker 3: You have to know that when your partner finds out
Speaker 3: that the curiosity of finding out who was better than
Speaker 3: them is going to hurt their feelings and that maybe
Speaker 3: they won't want to be with you anymore. So for me,
Speaker 3: I'm like, you can blame it on the experiment throwing
Speaker 3: spanners at you, but life is going to throw temptation
Speaker 3: at you at every point.
Speaker 1: It's different because in real life is the grass always greener?
Speaker 1: Means there could be someone walking down the street that
Speaker 1: you're like, well, they're hot. There could be someone online
Speaker 1: on Instagram that post bikini photos.
Speaker 2: They're the temptations. This is different.
Speaker 1: These are three professionals that are saying they scoured Australia.
Speaker 2: To find your perfect match.
Speaker 1: So if you are genuinely like, oh I really want
Speaker 1: to find love, they come to you dangling a carrot,
Speaker 1: saying this could literally be your soulmate because we put
Speaker 1: so much of our resources, time and energy into it.
Speaker 1: As if you're not going to be like, oh what
Speaker 1: if they're the more most perfect person for me?
Speaker 3: Yeah, totally. But also Britt, keep in mind it was
Speaker 3: the second choice. It was the person that they thought
Speaker 3: was the backup to the person that they thought was perfect.
Speaker 1: Yes, but these contestants know the people that they have
Speaker 1: chosen are to make a TV show.
Speaker 2: The people that are chosen by maths. We all know
Speaker 2: when they feel.
Speaker 3: The person in that envelope is to make a TV show.
Speaker 1: But the reason he wasn't chosen or she wasn't chosen
Speaker 1: he's probably too normal and they weren't.
Speaker 2: Going to cause enough.
Speaker 1: No, you know how reality TV works now they cast
Speaker 1: for drama.
Speaker 3: I think about this from my own experience, and maybe
Speaker 3: the reason why I kind of feel more strongly about
Speaker 3: it is because, you know, doing The Bachelor and meeting
Speaker 3: my husband on that show, I know that sometimes it
Speaker 3: does work out right, like we are a rare success story,
Speaker 3: but it did happen. I imagine if I had gotten
Speaker 3: three quarters of the way through the experiment of The Bachelor,
Speaker 3: if they had come to me and said, hey, do
Speaker 3: you know what. You're still competing against five other girls
Speaker 3: at the moment, but we have another guy who we
Speaker 3: think could be perfect for you.
Speaker 2: Do you want to meet him?
Speaker 3: There's no way I would have said yes to meeting him,
Speaker 3: because I was so sure that there was something special
Speaker 3: about my relationship with Matt that I wouldn't have jeopardized
Speaker 3: it because I don't think the grass is greener, and
Speaker 3: so I think for me, when I see this.
Speaker 2: It is a really clear.
Speaker 3: Indication as to where these couple stand and whether they're
Speaker 3: going to make it in the real world or not.
Speaker 3: It's just fast track them to the breakup that was
Speaker 3: clearly inevitable.
Speaker 2: I so disagree. Anyway, we've got to get out of it.
Speaker 2: I'm opening the envelope.
Speaker 3: Soz if I'm on mat, you're getting broken up with
Speaker 3: you a single for ten years, I've broken up with
Speaker 3: on The Bachelor.
Speaker 2: I couldn't even get it. So yeah, I'm talking a
Speaker 2: hundred percent open in the envelope. Luckily I'm getting married anyway.
