WEBVTT - MAFS: Britt & Laura unpack the DRAMATIC new twist

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Just when you think Maths Married at First Site can't

0:00:03.040 --> 0:00:06.280
<v Speaker 1>get any worse, it does. It shuts us up real quick,

0:00:06.280 --> 0:00:08.320
<v Speaker 1>and it's like, hey, you thought we were already cooked,

0:00:08.320 --> 0:00:09.879
<v Speaker 1>We're about to be more cooked.

0:00:10.320 --> 0:00:11.560
<v Speaker 2>There are all these rumors going around.

0:00:11.640 --> 0:00:14.080
<v Speaker 1>Now this hasn't happened on the show, but everyone's talking

0:00:14.120 --> 0:00:17.239
<v Speaker 1>about them. It's been released by a quote unquote insider

0:00:17.920 --> 0:00:22.040
<v Speaker 1>that there's the biggest twist to ever happen on Married

0:00:22.079 --> 0:00:22.639
<v Speaker 1>at First Site.

0:00:22.680 --> 0:00:25.320
<v Speaker 2>It's never happened before. So what it is.

0:00:25.360 --> 0:00:29.080
<v Speaker 1>It's a new challenge called is the Grass Always Greener?

0:00:29.800 --> 0:00:32.519
<v Speaker 1>And what they do is they've given all of the

0:00:32.560 --> 0:00:35.160
<v Speaker 1>Maths contestants who are now they're so deep in the show,

0:00:35.200 --> 0:00:38.640
<v Speaker 1>they're with their partners. They give them an envelope that

0:00:38.840 --> 0:00:41.639
<v Speaker 1>has their backup spouse on it, and they say, this

0:00:41.720 --> 0:00:43.320
<v Speaker 1>is the person you are almost matched with.

0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:46.120
<v Speaker 2>Do you want to see it? Do you want to

0:00:46.159 --> 0:00:47.000
<v Speaker 2>meet this person?

0:00:47.240 --> 0:00:50.640
<v Speaker 1>And they're asking them this question in a private room,

0:00:50.800 --> 0:00:53.240
<v Speaker 1>so their partners don't know if they decide to meet

0:00:53.280 --> 0:00:55.160
<v Speaker 1>them or not. So you don't know if your partner

0:00:55.200 --> 0:00:57.319
<v Speaker 1>has said yes to meeting theirs. You don't know if

0:00:57.320 --> 0:01:00.800
<v Speaker 1>you should say no to maintain your release ship integrity,

0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:02.720
<v Speaker 1>or you don't know if you should say hey, should

0:01:02.720 --> 0:01:04.920
<v Speaker 1>I just say yes in case my partner says yes.

0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:07.520
<v Speaker 3>I saw this, And also that's said that this has

0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:10.120
<v Speaker 3>been the undoing of so many relationships, so obviously a

0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:13.240
<v Speaker 3>lot of people have opened the envelope to check. We disagree,

0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:13.839
<v Speaker 3>but I have.

0:01:13.760 --> 0:01:14.800
<v Speaker 2>Strong feelings about this.

0:01:15.319 --> 0:01:18.560
<v Speaker 3>If you have made the commitment to be in this relationship,

0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:21.880
<v Speaker 3>if you are riding stay on that couch every day

0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:24.840
<v Speaker 3>and someone hands you an envelope that says here could

0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:27.280
<v Speaker 3>be a better match for you and you open it,

0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:29.520
<v Speaker 3>you are clearly not that invested with your partner, And

0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:31.800
<v Speaker 3>if you choose to open it, it is either you

0:01:31.800 --> 0:01:36.160
<v Speaker 3>don't have a very high emotional EQ or secondly, it's

0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:39.040
<v Speaker 3>a pretty clear indication about how that person feels about

0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:42.000
<v Speaker 3>your relationship. So if your partner's going to open that envelope,

0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:43.959
<v Speaker 3>I would be riding leave the next time I'm on

0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:44.520
<v Speaker 3>the couch.

0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:47.800
<v Speaker 1>Maths does not scream invest it. This show is a

0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:50.240
<v Speaker 1>train wreck. It is not like The Bachelor or these

0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:55.520
<v Speaker 1>other really wholesome dating shows. This show is constantly challenging relationships.

0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:58.920
<v Speaker 1>I think firstly, this shouldn't even be a challenge it's

0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:00.000
<v Speaker 1>setting them up for failure.

0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:01.040
<v Speaker 2>It's like Maps is.

0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:05.320
<v Speaker 1>Saying, we genuinely do not want successful couples. But what

0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:07.960
<v Speaker 1>I will say is I'd be pretty damn curious if

0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:10.920
<v Speaker 1>I was on a show like this. Pretend that I

0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:13.560
<v Speaker 1>am the really genuine person, right, I genuinely want to

0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:15.679
<v Speaker 1>find love on it. You're two months in, You're with

0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:17.560
<v Speaker 1>a partner who seems to be fine, they're great, you

0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:21.840
<v Speaker 1>get along. If somebody came to me three experts and said, hey,

0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:25.120
<v Speaker 1>we put so much time and effort into trying to

0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:27.920
<v Speaker 1>find your soulmate, your perfect match. This is the person

0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:30.240
<v Speaker 1>that we thought was pretty close but almost might not

0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:30.720
<v Speaker 1>have made it.

0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:32.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to tell you I'd be curious.

0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:35.960
<v Speaker 3>I know you'd be curious. But my thing is is

0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:38.640
<v Speaker 3>I don't think that you can blame the experiment for

0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:41.640
<v Speaker 3>putting these types of obstacles in place that people are

0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:45.280
<v Speaker 3>failing so now, because the reality is, you've got to

0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:49.320
<v Speaker 3>take some personal responsibility. If you open that envelope, you

0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:51.120
<v Speaker 3>have to know that it's going to hurt your partner.

0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:53.440
<v Speaker 3>You have to know that when your partner finds out

0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:56.799
<v Speaker 3>that the curiosity of finding out who was better than

0:02:56.840 --> 0:02:59.320
<v Speaker 3>them is going to hurt their feelings and that maybe

0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:01.520
<v Speaker 3>they won't want to be with you anymore. So for me,

0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:04.200
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, you can blame it on the experiment throwing

0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:06.840
<v Speaker 3>spanners at you, but life is going to throw temptation

0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:08.359
<v Speaker 3>at you at every point.

0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:12.040
<v Speaker 1>It's different because in real life is the grass always greener?

0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:13.880
<v Speaker 1>Means there could be someone walking down the street that

0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:15.640
<v Speaker 1>you're like, well, they're hot. There could be someone online

0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:17.080
<v Speaker 1>on Instagram that post bikini photos.

0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:19.040
<v Speaker 2>They're the temptations. This is different.

0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:23.800
<v Speaker 1>These are three professionals that are saying they scoured Australia.

0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:24.880
<v Speaker 2>To find your perfect match.

0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:27.320
<v Speaker 1>So if you are genuinely like, oh I really want

0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:30.360
<v Speaker 1>to find love, they come to you dangling a carrot,

0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:33.280
<v Speaker 1>saying this could literally be your soulmate because we put

0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:35.640
<v Speaker 1>so much of our resources, time and energy into it.

0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:37.400
<v Speaker 1>As if you're not going to be like, oh what

0:03:37.480 --> 0:03:39.160
<v Speaker 1>if they're the more most perfect person for me?

0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:41.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, totally. But also Britt, keep in mind it was

0:03:41.760 --> 0:03:44.400
<v Speaker 3>the second choice. It was the person that they thought

0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:47.000
<v Speaker 3>was the backup to the person that they thought was perfect.

0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:50.120
<v Speaker 1>Yes, but these contestants know the people that they have

0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:51.920
<v Speaker 1>chosen are to make a TV show.

0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:54.080
<v Speaker 2>The people that are chosen by maths. We all know

0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:55.040
<v Speaker 2>when they feel.

0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:57.040
<v Speaker 3>The person in that envelope is to make a TV show.

0:03:57.400 --> 0:03:59.600
<v Speaker 1>But the reason he wasn't chosen or she wasn't chosen

0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:01.560
<v Speaker 1>he's probably too normal and they weren't.

0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:02.120
<v Speaker 2>Going to cause enough.

0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:05.040
<v Speaker 1>No, you know how reality TV works now they cast

0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:05.720
<v Speaker 1>for drama.

0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:08.200
<v Speaker 3>I think about this from my own experience, and maybe

0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:10.160
<v Speaker 3>the reason why I kind of feel more strongly about

0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:12.600
<v Speaker 3>it is because, you know, doing The Bachelor and meeting

0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:14.520
<v Speaker 3>my husband on that show, I know that sometimes it

0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:17.120
<v Speaker 3>does work out right, like we are a rare success story,

0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:20.919
<v Speaker 3>but it did happen. I imagine if I had gotten

0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:23.600
<v Speaker 3>three quarters of the way through the experiment of The Bachelor,

0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:25.520
<v Speaker 3>if they had come to me and said, hey, do

0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:27.800
<v Speaker 3>you know what. You're still competing against five other girls

0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:30.960
<v Speaker 3>at the moment, but we have another guy who we

0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:32.560
<v Speaker 3>think could be perfect for you.

0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:33.920
<v Speaker 2>Do you want to meet him?

0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:36.400
<v Speaker 3>There's no way I would have said yes to meeting him,

0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:38.839
<v Speaker 3>because I was so sure that there was something special

0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:41.400
<v Speaker 3>about my relationship with Matt that I wouldn't have jeopardized

0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:43.760
<v Speaker 3>it because I don't think the grass is greener, and

0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:45.520
<v Speaker 3>so I think for me, when I see this.

0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:47.680
<v Speaker 2>It is a really clear.

0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:50.039
<v Speaker 3>Indication as to where these couple stand and whether they're

0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:51.360
<v Speaker 3>going to make it in the real world or not.

0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:53.880
<v Speaker 3>It's just fast track them to the breakup that was

0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:54.920
<v Speaker 3>clearly inevitable.

0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:57.800
<v Speaker 2>I so disagree. Anyway, we've got to get out of it.

0:04:57.839 --> 0:04:58.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm opening the envelope.

0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:01.560
<v Speaker 3>Soz if I'm on mat, you're getting broken up with

0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:03.360
<v Speaker 3>you a single for ten years, I've broken up with

0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:04.080
<v Speaker 3>on The Bachelor.

0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:06.120
<v Speaker 2>I couldn't even get it. So yeah, I'm talking a

0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:08.560
<v Speaker 2>hundred percent open in the envelope. Luckily I'm getting married anyway.
