The Briefing Headlines April 29

The Briefing Topic

Why are Australians so fascinated by Married at First Sight?  It’s the show we love to hate, or is it … hate to love?  Ever since MAFS appeared on our screens in 2015, it’s consistently been one of the highest rated shows on Australian television.

 

We’re joined by four guests to take us through our deep dive.  David Dale, a Walkley Award winning journalist who spent 20 years as media and TV columnist for SMH and The Age; Tarang Chawla, whose sister Nikita was murdered by her husband in 2015. Tarang’s became an anti-domestic violence campaigner;   Michael Goonan was one of the contestant on MAFS last year; and psychologist and relationship expert Jacqui Manning.

 

The show is full of big personalities, drama, fights, tears, lying, cheating, tantrums and sometimes... toxic behaviour among contestants. So what’s the appeal….?
