Very entertaining show. However as a successfully married person of over 30 years and prior to that 15 years of dating, do you guys take suggestions? I suspect they deliberately place couples for confrontational entertainment value because as "experts" your success ratio is not the best. I've set up 6 couples on dates over 30 years ago. Pretty sure 4 went to the alter. Maybe it's too expensive but here's my suggestion (not that you're asking. :) ) The experts pick their top 100-200 candidates from the pool. (I was amazed you get thousands of applicants) Each has to do a 2 minute audio recording (voice only) no names, statistics, demographics, just talk. You already get a head shot photo of the prospects. On your questionaire - Dog or Cat Person? If they answer Dog (small dog or big dog?). How often do you go to the gym? Where do you stand politically? (choice) Progressive, Liberal, moderately Liberal, moderately conservative, conservative, very conservative, How often do you go to Church/Synagogue/Mosque? Do you need to marry within your faith? Will you re-locate anywhere in the US for marriage? When was the last time you smoked tobacco? How often do you drink? (I'm assuming you ask about drug use or past addiction?) Each of the 200 candidates would be shown 100 possibles (head shot only) and then would pick their top 10 (Who do you find attractive - sight), then have them listen to 100 audio recordings (sound) and pick their top 10. This method could reduce the contestants who just want to be on the show. The contestants would still get Married at First Sight but at least know they have heard their voice and seen their face. Either way, Great Show!!
