Me and my late husband used to watch the old C4 MAFS early series where, as the Panorama doc said, it was much more of a social documentary and IIRC, the marriages were actually legal. I have watched some of the E4 MAFSUK series, some in total and others I've bailed on. I felt increasingly uncomfortable about some of the relationship dynamics: Leigh & Leah, SPH, Scottish Lady & Ryan, that George with the cauliflower ears and finally, Nelly and Steven, so I stopped watching. A number of Tattlers were calling out the bad behaviour on here [and the press brand US evil gossiphounds!?]
ETA: Us Tattlers clocked Tattoo Brad's awful ways too.
I watched S1 of Love Island a couple of years ago on itvX and did'nt like that angry bloke who later ended up in TOWIE, Jon? I started S2 but read that one of the contestants had, well, trigger warning, taken her own life. I didn't watch any more.
