Are the participants in “Married at First Sight” exploited?

A man who doesn’t ask questions and a woman who hates Gothenburg.
Unfortunately, the match between Christoffer and Rosanna seems to have completely backfired.
They appear almost every day: The men who never learned to ask questions.
Over the years, I’ve had countless conversations with acquaintances, potential partners, former colleagues, and service personnel who happily talk about themselves but are completely uninterested in my opinions. Once a male acquaintance told me what PMS felt like and on another occasion a taxi driver explained that women can become very hormonal after giving birth. I sat in the back seat with my two month old baby and fought the instinct to scream out loud.

It does not come as a shock that these men are also in “Married at First Sight”.
Christopherwho otherwise seems incredibly cute and should not be compared to the aforementioned taxi driver in general, has never had a serious relationship and does not get the conversations with Rosanna. She thinks he’s bad at asking questions and speaks up – just hours after they meet at the altar. I am impressed that she immediately tackles a problem I myself have almost given up trying to solve.
At the same time, Rosanna likes to joke bitingly with her new husband and already says at the wedding that she doesn’t want to move to his hometown Gothenburg or appreciates his jokes, which of course can make anyone lose their temper in a conversation.

None of them seem ready to meet a stranger with an open mind, which maybe SVT should have discovered during the casting process? It’s clear that it’s interesting to have two such confident and egotistical personalities on a dating show, but is there really a chance that they can find each other? The question is whether SVT really believes in them or just uses them to create entertainment?
Elsewhere will be Thirst uncomfortable when he is told that Mrs Anastasia’s brother is a municipal councilor for the Sweden Democrats in Borås. He doesn’t stand behind the party’s views, and neither does poor Anastasia. Because what is she going to do about her brother’s values, more than what she says she already does, which is debate him whenever they see each other? What a nightmare to have to answer for the behavior of your relatives.
Torsten has struggled with the relationship since the wedding and breaks some sort of record in honesty when, on day two of the experiment, he tells Anastasia that he doesn’t feel like “fireworks”.
Good thing she’s good at asking questions anyway.
