Having had a little experience with both media & marriage, i feel compelled to offer my insights into what was once a really great show. However, in the last 2 seasons - espeically the current one- the show has fallen ito becoming a despicable search for rting by the producers, in some sort of 'race to the moral bottom' in depicting the rigours & challenges of married life.
The experts seem to be reduced to 'armchair observers', rarely providing guidance or insight to participants (though are they really cast members in a scripted production?). Instead, they seem to be commenting on footage that is previously shot.
If this is indeed truly an 'experiment', then why are they not actually observing actually methods of science? Hypothesis, test, observe & study, draw conclusions, redraw hypotheses & repeat?
No, this has deteriorated to a cheap, sensationalist search for ratings. So - as they say on Shark tank - "for that reason, I'm out".
