The reality series where couples meet for the first time (as they exchange vows) at the altar after being "matched" by a panel of experts.
Anyone else watching it and thinking "what a crock!"

Yes, Bravo. Thank you for preserving the sanctity of marriage. Us gays were making some headway in ruining it for others, but you've come along and undone so much of our work. Fie upon thee. Or something.

Yes, but love is rarely a factor.
Agreed. Two consenting adults, who have gotten to know, respect, and love each other should be able to get married, regardless of gender. Idiots who marry for 5 minutes of fame, or some other equally shallow reason should be neutered.
A crock because it's a sad excuse for 'entertainment', or because you think in today's enlightened age people don't get married at first meeting?
Just thinking of some religious or culturally arranged marriages.
The concept of that is as frightening to me as is any arranged marriage. At least in the latter, the parents have thought about it (though that is still frightening).
Or they care about the dowry your marriage will bring. Or the leg up in society.Yes, at least in a traditionally arranged marriage, your family presumably cares about you. At a minimum, they're caring about having this new person in their family, associating with them.
Personally, I don't value 5 minutes of fame very highly, but nor do I value marriage very highly. I'd totally marry a random stranger in exchange for a good stack of money or something.Agreed.
