Reality TV
Whatever will they find to make reality tv shows out of next?There's been a thing on tonight, where couples marry a total stranger! The couple meet for the first time at the alter!!
I've only been listening, but I think they have been 'computerised' for matches, then after the wedding celebrations, they go off on honeymoon - with this total stranger. Bugger that!
They are then asked 5 weeks later if they want to stay together or split.
Don't know about you, but I feel that is sad to mock the marriage vows like that. I guess I'm just old fashioned.
I supposed it is no worse than the arranged marriages some cultures have.

Hmm, hadn't thought of that. At least this lot are given the chance to get out of it again in 5 weeks time!I wonder what the tv people would do if the bridegroom wanted out, but his new bride was pregnant already?
Still think they shouldn't play games with it meself - nor arranged marriages either.

Re: Reality TV
It must be a slow news day because today the ABC had a story about a couple of girls who went on a reality show to find a boyfriend ended up together.Former Bachelor Australia contestants Megan Marx and Tiffany Scanlon have caused a mild media storm after revealing they are together and in love.
Marx earlier this week described their relationship in an Instagram post — ostensibly to wish Scanlon a happy 30th birthday — as a friendship that had "ripened into something bolder".
