Same
I feel like this year they really tried to have a foot in both camps, in that they have selected 2-3 reasonable couples with a reasonable chance of success (so they can start saying "WE KNOW THIS WORKS" like they did in previous series).

Then they have gone out and selected the most dysfunctional/undateable people in the known universe. Jess/Ines etc are Davina on steroids, no doubt there is internal briefings where they were looking for "Davina types" to spice up the show.

Well eg Innes and Sam last night with their meeting there were at least two camera views recording it - adds an extra dimension to how scripted it is if there was a camera crew there

I can't stress this enough. It is not scripted. Not one word gets committed to paper before shooting.

As JeanLucGoddard says, the producers will tell them what to talk about but not what to say.

But different scenes require different crew.

Firstly, no one is following these people around 100% of the time. For that scene you are referring to, there is actually only one camera(we just edit good like). They just shoot for ages and get told to repeat what they have said, to get them to talk about whatever nonsense so the camera guy can get reaction from the other person.

Tonight's episode you will see the couples getting ready in their apartment (1 camera for about an hour)

Then you will see the actual dinner party (6 cameras, recording whatever they can get, for about 6 hours).

And when I say 1 camera I mean 1 camera plus sound, plus mixers, plus lighting, plus art direction, plus field producer etc etc. There is always a "crew" present.

So I hope that give you a little more insight into how it's shot. In short, shoot the shit out of it and hope something happens.

I remember my question from two days ago!

DapperJong do the MAFS cast choose their own clothes or are they "helped" in this area or is there an actual wardrobe department dressing them and they have zero say

That's one area I have no idea about. Post production does not care about clothing.

Same principle can apply when doing TV news too.

Hmm ok, substitute 'spontaneous' for scripted. Thanks for the insight!

Has there been any scenes that you really wanted to include but couldn’t for whatever reason?

Conversely, have you ever had to include/edit something that you didn’t really feel great about?

Moreso the second. We often get told we need to hear from certain couples because they've gone missing. A lot of the time that is because they were boring.
Definitely the worst scenes. See if you can pick one tonight!


DapperJong do you guys get to screen the nudes Ines sends to Sam?


Nah we don't see anything like that.

The only chance of making it are the cricketer and jules.

pretty poor effort from the show

messed up the ratio this year, you'd hope at least 3-4 would still be a chance at this stage

1 couple out of 10

I don't mind crazies like Liz and Mel but you have to match them up with more legit people.

People like Bronson, Sam, Jess, Martha, Dino are all a waste of time, even Mark the dude looks 50 (unless you put him with someone like Jo)
