    On today's episode of Married at First Sight Season 15, we bid farewell to Morgan and Binh while meeting a new expert. “The Ugly Truth” is an interesting name for the episode because it is unclear what they are referring to.

In our first podcast, we analyze the season premiere of the show by sharing our initial impressions of each person as well as each couple. We make some early predictions to see if we, as experts, have any better insight and predicting abilities than those people posing as experts on the show. Be warned, if you adore the experts of Married at First Sight, this may not be the show for you. We use our real world expertise as psychologists to analyze the cast in fun, but not exactly professional ways. Please note because we are amateur podcasters, this podcast is being published after the entire season 14 of Married at First Sight has aired.
