1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: Jersey and Amanda jam Nation.

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 2: It's that time of year again, everyone's favorite social experiment.

3
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 2: The explosive dinner parties are sizzling love connections, cleaning a

4
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 2: toilet with a toothbrush.

5
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 1: Here we are again.

6
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:17,440
Speaker 2: I've told you, of course, about Married at First Sight,

7
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 2: which kicks off on Monday night. And to tell us

8
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:22,919
Speaker 2: all about the new season is psychologist John Aikin.

9
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: Hello, Hello, good morning. I tried to block that toothbrush

10
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: image out.

11
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, sorry, Haley, And.

12
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, back in the Day series seven, I think it

13
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 1: might have been yeah, Haley, And who was the guy?

14
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: Was David?

15
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 3: David in what world does that? Except?

16
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: Well, this is the thing about the show. It is

17
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 1: very unpredictable, and I'm even after eleven seasons, I am

18
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 1: shocked by some of the things that they say and do.

19
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 1: I feel like I've heard it all. But then even

20
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: this season, it's like, oh, really, is that? Is that?

21
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: What your choice is?

22
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 2: Do you ever feel guilty that you've put couples together

23
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 2: who just bring up the worst in each other? I

24
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 2: know it's a television show. I know everyone likes to

25
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 2: see the conflict, but as a psychologist, how do you feel?

26
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: I don't feel guilty about it. I mean, I'm disappointed

27
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,759
Speaker 1: in certain choices that they make. But when we put

28
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: them together after an assessment, which goes for around about

29
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: two months, you really can't be sure what's going to happen.

30
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: When the cameras go on them and they consistently surprise us,

31
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: and we watched like everybody else to see whether or

32
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: not they can get along, and you know, to be honest,

33
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: they're not good at relationships, and you see that very

34
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: early on. You know, you only have to watch it

35
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: for ten minutes to know we know why you're single.

36
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: And so then it's about are they going to change, pivot,

37
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: up skill here to make it work? And a lot

38
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: of them can't do that.

39
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 2: Can you ever tell from the get go who will

40
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 2: make it?

41
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: I'd love to say yes, but the answer is no,

42
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: I can't. I thought, you know, early days, you know,

43
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: season one, two, three, four, you really get a sense

44
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: of this can work. But then you realize just something

45
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: as simple as chemistry. You know, we put two incredibly

46
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: good looking people together and they'll lock eyes and go,

47
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: I don't find you attractive at all.

48
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 2: Interesting lesson, isn't it? But we think attractive people just

49
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:11,519
Speaker 2: you know, enjoy it. It's not about looks.

50
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 1: There's a chemistry.

51
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 3: I always find it interesting. Someone like say Olivia from

52
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 3: a few seasons ago, she was like a student teacher

53
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 3: that's doing an honorable job. How is it that all

54
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 3: of a sudden she is now only fans doing pornographic stuff?

55
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 3: In what world? When she went to be a student teacher?

56
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 1: Did she think, you know what I'm going to do.

57
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,839
Speaker 3: I'm gonna pivot and I'm going to be a porn star.

58
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: It looks. This is the thing about what we see

59
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 1: when the show unfolds. It's usually about halfway through. So

60
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: if you can, you know, put up your best foot

61
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: forward and give a good impression, you kind of can

62
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: get away with it for a certain amount of time.

63
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: But then ultimately the mask comes off because the cameras

64
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: are there all the time and the real true self

65
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 1: comes out. This year, there's no exception. You know, they

66
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: you know they surprise us. But this year we do

67
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: have a different sort of cast. They're more diverse. We

68
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: have our oldest ever participant, Richard at sixty two. We

69
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 1: have a few other older individuals in there, and they

70
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: create a different mix because the young ones are now

71
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: up against not only me on the couch, but there

72
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: are up against older ones with more experience and more

73
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: of a mature.

74
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 2: Mind you might call some of their behavior exactly.

75
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: So it changes the dynamic in the group, which is interesting.

76
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: We have the same sex couple as well, girl female

77
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: or male men yes men. We also have a moment

78
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: in the experiment early where one of the participants runs

79
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: and leaves the experiment before the wedding day, which I

80
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: don't think we've ever had before.

81
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 2: Right, So they don't even meet their partner.

82
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 3: No, that's it, and they just say I can't do

83
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 3: this or they didn't like me. I don't know about you.

84
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 3: I'm pleased here. The mel Shilling's okay.

85
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: Yes, that's great that she is on the mend. She

86
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: films the UK version over there and then comes to

87
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: ours and does the Aussie version of She's.

88
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 3: A fly and fly Out expert.

89
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 1: She is, she's global and she had the operation went

90
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: smoothly and she's now back filming. Good. So she's on

91
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: the mend, which is which is great.

92
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 3: Okay, John, Well, obviously you've got a lot to discuss.

93
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: He's been taking notes about me and Amanda. I can

94
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: feel it about she.

95
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 2: Saw what I did with your tooth, brother.

96
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: Well, you two really are the standout. The communication style

97
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 1: is always respect a.

98
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 3: Man who's getting a neck tattoo of my face.

99
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 1: Next week, I tell you what neck tattoo is there?

100
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 1: The next tattoo is that? What's with the next Remember?

101
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: I remember on Maths a couple of seasons ago, one

102
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: of the brides had a brother who had a neck tattoo.

103
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 1: Was his name?

104
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 3: Then?

105
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 2: Everyone loved him?

106
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I loved him. Yeah. I think it was Jessica Powers.

107
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 3: Jessica Powers brother the neck tattoo, God b the hot

108
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 3: and I thought about it, but I thought, in five years.

109
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 2: Time, the head of the bank will have a tattoo.

110
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 2: That's where we are.

111
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 3: CEO will have devil horns implanted and Satan not Satan

112
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 3: written on his fores, and he'll.

113
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: Be sacking China. It's always great to talk to you.

114
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 3: Married at First Sight starts Monday at seventy thirty on
