To say the very first Commitment Ceremony on Married At First Sight this year was an explosive one would be a massive understatement.

All eight couples in the experiment so far took turns on the couch as they faced the experts for the first time as a couple.
While the 16 brides and grooms wrote stay and remain in the experiment, it was not as easy, nor simple, as it seems.
Selin and Anthony for one had quite the night, with the former in particular feeling the heat from John, Mel and Alessandra, who cracked down on the bride for “demeaning” her husband.
While the pair sat in front of the three experts, it was Anthony who began by describing their relationship as a “train wreck”.
He recalled some of the comments Selin made towards him when he tried to show his vulnerability, where she called him a “princess” and “really needy”.
“It made me feel sort of disrespected,” Anthony added.
While he was explaining this to the experts, Selin has a slight smirk across her face, which prompted Mel to cut in.
“That’s not funny. It’s really demeaning,” she told Selin.
Selin then admitted: “I know I probably shouldn’t have used the word ‘princess’ in the real world.”
Mel cut her off: “Well this is the real world. And when you say it like that, he feels like you’re making fun of him.”
John then addressed her behaviour at the cocktail party, where she threw Anthony under the bus by telling all the other couples about their troubles.
“It became just a trash-fest,” he said.
Despite their rocky status, both Selin and Anthony wrote stay, and will remain in the experiment for another week to work on their relationship.
