Season 12 of Married at First Sight will welcome a drastically new change that hasn't been done before — The newlyweds will be blindfolded during the wedding ceremony, Soap Dirt reported. Although the change was likely made to add more suspense for fans, news of the moderation was met with mixed reviews. The outlet spotted an online poll created by a fan account where viewers expressed their disappointment with the "lame and cheesy" move.
"Others expressed their dismay at the fact that the brides spent hours on their eye makeup, only to get ruined by the black blindfolds. There were also some who just think it's weird to have the couples' eyes covered, especially when walking down the aisle," the outlet reported. But who knows, maybe the move will produce more raw reactions when the participants meet their new spouse for the first time. Also, it's possible season 11's Amelia Fatsi and Bennett Kirschner inspired the decision after they revealed they had met before the day they married.
As for the Season 12 cast, People reported in November 2020 that five couples signed onto the project (Jacob and Haley, Chris and Paige, Vincent and Briana, Ryana and Clara, and Erik and Virginia). The cast member's last names have been kept private to prevent spoilers, but fans should get to know the cast soon enough when the new installment premieres on Jan. 13, 2021!
