It’s been a bit uncomfortable to watch this season of Married at First Sight, and not just because of its cringeworthy premise.
For all the talk of couples matched by “science” spliced with clips of apparent mental health experts attaching electrodes to people’s heads, it doesn’t seem as though much expertise has gone in to matching these couples.
The match that’s most distressing to watch is that of Victorians Clare and Jono.
Last year, Clare, 32, fought off a male attacker on the street and suffered a broken nose, a black eye, and a broken toe. The psychological wounds are still very much present, and she suffers post-traumatic stress disorder as a result.
She was matched with Jono, 28, a tradie who managed to distinguish himself as the show's "villain" within the first episode we saw him.
Apart from the immaturity, infidelity, and inability to do his own laundry that automatically make him a less-than-ideal husband candidate, the trait that's most disturbing is his short fuse.
Watch Clare and Jono in action... post continues after video.

The 'experts' are playing a dangerous game that will potentially leave some or all of these contestants even more broken than they were coming into this. As long as their theories are proven right, who really cares who gets hurt.....
