Didn’t Nine almost kill Married At First Sight this year? I’m surprised that they’ve brought it back for another season this year, to be quite honest. ---

Didn’t that only happen for the previous season because Reno Rumble tanked and they did a switcheroo to prop the schedule up? ---

> [@SydneyCityTV](#): > > Didn’t Nine almost kill Married At First Sight this year? I’m surprised that they’ve brought it back for another season this year, to be quite honest. The second season average was still close to 1million viewers. It’s a very cheap and easy show to do and probably Nine’s effort at flooding us with dating shows to try and do a bit of damage to The Bachelor as well. ---

Nine announced last night that next season would see 10 couples “married”. According to TV Tonight, the season will now be produced by Endemol Shine (previous seasons are Nine internal productions) and shown on multiple nights, up against My Kitchen Rules. ---

According to TV Tonight, the season will now be produced by Endemol Shine (previous seasons are Nine internal productions) and shown on multiple nights, up against My Kitchen Rules. Won’t that be too many couples to follow? I just couldn’t keep track of 10 couples. They had been advertising last week that next year Nine will be taking Married at First Sight to a whole new level. I was hoping for something a bit more exciting than just upping the number of couples. Also they are risking overkill with this show… I think that will be 3 seasons in less than a calendar year? ---

I don’t watch the show but I also think 10 couples is overkill. Nine is trying to stretch next season (maybe to April). If not done properly viewers will get sick of the show. ---

Surely the season won’t start with 10 weddings and have us follow them all at once. I can’t see any way that would be possible to follow. I’m guessing more likely it will either be a staggered season (new couples introduced with weddings at different times throughout) or a more like 2 seasons back to back. > [@TV.Cynic](#): > > Quite surprised that Nine think a show that last night got 800,000 against no other reality show is their pick to strip against MKR The show rates well given it often runs until 10pm and very strong in key demos. I think it’s their best shot to have something that can be competitive with MKR and could take some of the MKR audience. I’m just concerned it’s overkill having an even longer season on again so soon when there’s been so many this year already. ---

Apparently the next season will be an extended season. I expect Nine to air this in a 7:30 timeslot next year to compete with My Kitchen Rules. ---

Once again a bitter contestant who had a bad experience hitting back at the show. Obviously doesn’t like how he was portrayed and blames editing. Maybe before having a sook he should learn some proper English and grammar because half of what he says does not even make sense. ---

Jeez they’re confident, playing their hand like that so early releasing the premiere date. What’s the bet there’s a likelihood of it changing before that depending on what the other networks decide to schedule around that.
