Featured review
Is the show genuine?
Reality TV shows can be fun to watch, but are the contestants taking part to gain TV exposure or to find a husband/wife? I'm not sure.
The participants do seem to be selected to benefit the show i.e. In the current series there are white couples, a black couple, a mixed race couple, a lesbian couple and even a disabled chap. So clearly selection is being made based on certain criteria, not just the best match. Although there are no age gap couples (>10 year difference).
In the current series the "experts" criticise two of the men (in front of everyone else) for not being attracted to the two overweight women they have been "matched" with.
A study of which physical aspects men and women most favour in a partner, found that for women height is most important and men it is body shape.
Western countries have a problem with obesity, yet this programme is trying to normalise it. Shows like this should be promoting healthy life styles not ridiculing men for a lack of attraction.
