Looks like ABC is kicking butt and taking names with the whole "thorough background check" thing They still have a LONG way to go to pass VH1 in that department, but that's nothing to aspire to. Remember that Megan Wants a Millionaire debacle where, before the show aired, one of the contestants murdered his (ex?) wife? IMO, anyone who signs up for a reality dating show is immediately suspect and should undergo a forensic level background check.
Maybe they're just casting for drama, but it seems like they could still have drama without casting criminals and nutjobs.

Thorough background checks are essential!!! At the end of the 2nd season of Married at First Sight it got REAL UGLY when one of the husbands (Ryan DeNino) apparently threatened to KILL his wife from the show (and her whole family and her dog!!!), and she had to get a protective order to keep him away from all of them. You guys have to read this article from US Magazine (which talks about the court documents and what actually happened on the air): "Married at First Sight’s Ryan Threatened to Kill Jessica, Family: New Details on Their Ugly Split"

Yes, that is what the original article that I copied over said. Now...will they continue with the show at all?

I just breezed through the first episode to see what it was all about. Cringe worthy, desperate, humiliating, awkward, are all words that come to mind. Those ladies looked so uncomfortable to be out there in swimsuits. I can't bring myself to tune into this show.

I watched the first 10 minutes or so as it attached my recording of the Bachelorette (how does that happen anyway--is it to boost their rating numbers--do they know many of us weren't planning on watching it on purpose?). It skeeved me out immediately and I felt like I needed to take a shower.

I cancelled my recording without even peeking. Then I cancelled the series. It is just not something I would care to watch even though I watch the Bachelor shows.

Are they still playing tonight's episode even though they said they were pulling it? It is still on my schedule and they've been running ads for it.

I'd guess they pulled that specific episode, but are airing a new one tonight

Did anyone watch last week's episode, with the girl from the Bachelor as one of the contestants? Did she get chosen? I tried to look On Demand, but they're not putting the episodes up.

She was one of the final two. He picked the 22 year old student and shockingly enough, they have already split....also the single mom and her pick have also split.

Midol, how did you find out who split up? Did they do a recap? Thanks for the info.

Midol, how did you find out who split up? Did they do a recap? Thanks for the info. I'm a member on another site and they found all their sm. They announced it. The student said they remain friends. They were from the same city, but she moved right after graduating. The first couple are still together and seem to be doing well. They were the only couple that I thought had any shot, but it's very early days still.

I am just now watching Monday's recording.
With all the beef cake, I fast forwarded. When the friend came out, that is when I got interested, but it stopped recording before Lisa Raye McCoy came out. So I had to get to youtube to see details.
I felt like the other episodes were more serious. This episode, I felt like the men were there to show of their bods. I see that Lisa Raye McCoy is a millionaire. So if the guy did not have the emotional goods, she knows enough to drop him like a hot cake....but he is sexy for sure.
I find this show easier to watch than Bachelor. I think a couple of real relationships may result.
