“We were turned into zombies. We were like children. We lost our own will. We just recited lines the producers told us to,” said John Aitken. “When we saw the footage of us we were shocked.”
The hit television show Married at First Sight relies on the expertise of its judges to match eight unlucky in love strangers with the partner of their dreams. It is now suspected that the show’s experts were drugged with Scolpolamine – the most dangerous drug in the world, ‘Devil’s Breath’ chemical from Colombia can block free will, wipe memory and even kill. Within minutes, victims are like ‘zombies’ – coherent, but with no free will.
Scopolamine is often blown into faces of victims or added to drinks. Some victims report emptying bank accounts to robbers or helping them pillage own house. Scopolamine is made from borrachero tree, which is common in Colombia.
Apparently John Aitken had no recollection of filming the entire series.
After seeing the show a registered psychologist said, “Partnering the people they partnered. It’s ludicrous. Totally provocative and incendiary and manipulative. It’s almost like the only thing that mattered was drama, infighting and ultimately ratings.”
One ex-Married At First Sight contestant has accused Channel Nine of “encouraging” drama to boost ratings in the explosive current season.
Nadia Stamp, who was matched with ‘villain’ Anthony Manton on the show last year, criticised producers for heightening the drama — although she denied it was actually scripted.
“Producers encourage controversy. This year they’ve really taken the leash off and they’ve allowed [bad behaviour],’ she told Daily Mail, presumably referring to situations like the controversial affair between Dean Wells and Davina Rankin.
The Married at First Sight judges were allegedly reduced mere puppets in the hands of producers.
