There’sa lot most people don’t know aboutMarried at First Sight.
Here are some of the strict rulesMarried at First Sightcouples have to follow.
At the end of the day, the participants will be given their phones back.
Each participant, in addition toa lengthy questionnaireandinterviews, also has to go through a very extensive background check.
These include substance abuse and criminal charges, which would presumably disqualify someone from being selected.
“It’s a very short, brief prenup.
The agreement serves to double-check all participants are taken care of.
You are not going to get yourself into any legal trouble.”
The most common one being that most couples don’t remain married.
This includes lawyers' fees, but there’s a catch.
Coelen explained toTheWrap, “We will contribute within a certain period of time if they get divorced.
We will help them cover the costs of an attorney if they choose to do that.
I don’t know what the amount is.
It’s nominal.”
This could also be because experts want to discourage fame-hungry future participants from applying to be on the show.
The couples on the show are not paid for their long filming days.
Instead, the participants on the show receive a stipend that is much smaller than most would probably expect.
According to former Australia’sMarried at First Sightstar Nasser Sultan, he and his wife received an allowance from producers.
With a hit like that and low payment for participants, fans might expect that everyday expenses are covered.
“None of our groceries were covered,” Sultan stated.
