You say that jokingly but in a round about way I kind of am.
Shows that try to expand their franchise - with spin-offs or second yearly seasons - tend to get a franchise fatigue with viewers, which hinders ratings success for the franchise (Masterchef, The Block are the prime examples for that). So while there will be short-term âpainâ, there will be long-term âgainâ.
âPainâ & âGainâ are in quotations to denote the trivial nauture of the pain/gain caused by this stupid show existing/not existing.

If you ask me, a spinoff will most likely dilute the original show further.
Not that it will be a bad thing thoughâŚThis show is pure junk and this comes from someone who thinks MKR is rubbish.

A lot of them have shit canned the show but, so will they gave an invite? lol
Personally I hope Nine does decide to do multiple Non-Binding Commitment Ceremony Melodrama Married At First Sight to dilute/kill any interest in the main program ASAP.
Exactly how this nonsense is currently one of the most popular shows in Australia (Sydneysiders, Melbournians & South East Queenslanders particularly love their MAFS judging by the ratingsâŚI donât get it) is beyond me.

Cue the obvious defence of fanboysâŚ
Please no. We already have Bachelor in Paradise and Love Island. This will just feel like a rip-off or repeat of them and will damage MAFS in the long run.
Anyway as for last nightâs episode - I actually love that they showed Billy calling Susie out for being on the show just to get more instagram followers. On radio today heâs said that she was only ever lovey dovey on the honeymoon when the cameras were rolling and when they were off she would barely even acknowledge him. Billy wasted no time calling her out for it even if it means he has such a short stint on there. I noticed that Susie had to turn off commenting on some of her instagram posts. She must be pretty hated - what a nutter.

Had the most unfortunate encounter with this show on the telly at home last night. Gee whiz this show has got to be up there with the worst shows in the world. The supposed âactorsâ on the show who were apparently paid to be casted are horrendous at acting, with the bitching from âCycloneâ Cyrell a very obvious and deliberately set up by producers. Furthermore, the supposed âambitionsâ of each of the subjects in there are so stereotypical and predictable, itâs not even funny.
They shamelessly promote this as a âsocial experimentâ but itâs more like Channel 9âs daily, bitching session. The premise of this entire show is vile and insufferable. I was over it after 10 minutes.
Garbage like this makes MKR look family friendly in comparison.
If you watch the show, then accept whatever they dish out to you. 
For those who like the bitching, take it.

The sad thing is that with its success here in Australia and even New Zealand, I genuinely wouldnât be overly surprised if a UK and/or US network eventually decides to make their own version of MAFS based on the one currently going gangbusters for Nine/Three.
Worse have happened. Family Food Fight have been picked up globally despite being a Flop.

MAFS is in its eighth season in the US right now but itâs basically sticking to the original concept. Not as huge there because itâs not on a major network but Lifetime and FYI.
They had a story about it on Entertainment Tonight yesterday saying some of their couples stayed married and one couple interviewed has a child.

No problems, itâs good to be told what to do by a TV expert! 
How much longer does this show have left in it? We seem to have lost two of the most interesting/entertaining couples this Sunday so it feels like itâs plodding along now⌠apart from this whole manufactured cheating scam. The fact that Jessika is openly staying on the show to pursue another guy makes a mockery of the whole process.

I saw a promo during the NRL on 9Gem last week, saying the show is in the final weeks. This week is week 8 with 30 episodes aired as of last night. I think there are two more weeks to go to make up a 10 week season.
There are 41 episodes apparently. I switched off last night when I head Jessika going on about how she has to be with Dan⌠normally I fast forward her a bit, but could not be bothered at all and just read the recap this morning.
There is 3 weeks left.
That is correct - Peter Walsh (MAFSâ Executive Producer) confirmed that in a recent news.com.au interview
I (unfortunately) saw the bit of the commitment ceremony where she made that decision. Isnât/shouldnât there be a âduty of careâ issue regarding her âpartnerâ (donât know what his name is) apparently saying heâs been wanting to leave the show for 3 weeks now but heâs essentially being âforcedâ to stay by both Jessika (through her decision) and the show (through its format)?
But from the promos tonight it looks like the âexpertsâ might reveal whatâs happening and then Dan & Jessika will stay in the experiment? Cause theyâre been seen filming those two on the Gold Coast together.
Viewers being spun a very tall tale
After weeks of speculation, Sam appears to have confirmed his relationship was contrived while replying to a fan question about Ines on Instagram.
âSorry ⌠this is TV it didnât happen,â Sam wrote
Complete bullshit and viewers are still watching.
