Time for the truth! Married At First Sight editing trick is exposed by Josh Pihlak’s WATCH – and confirms a long-standing rumour about the show
Married At First Sight suffered another editing fail on Sunday when Josh Pihlak’s wristwatch kept jumping in time from one reaction shot to another.
Halfway through the episode, the time on Josh’s watch was 8:55pm. It jumped to 11:40pm when he sat down for his therapy session with Cathy Evans, and again leaped to 12:10am just seconds later.
Not only does this suggest important scenes were edited out, but the late hour also confirms a long-standing rumour about filming.

Whereas commitment ceremonies and dinner parties only last an hour on TV, cast members have previously complained they can take ‘up to 12 hours’ to record.
But due to the magic of television, viewers are never aware of this side of production and events appear to take place smoothly over the course of an evening.
But seeing Josh’s watch jump from 8:55pm to past midnight in just 20 minutes proves that filming is in fact an extremely drawn-out process.
Bizarre! Halfway through the episode, the time on Josh’s watch read 8:55pm, as he then sat down with Cathy Evans it read 11:40pm, seconds later it had jumped to 12:10am
Exposed! Interestingly, this suggests that key scenes may have been edited out of the show, with the late time also confirming a long-standing rumour about filming
Last week, MAFS bride Mishel Karen said that ‘nobody gets to leave’ the dinner parties or commitment ceremonies until producers have captured ‘enough drama’ – regardless of what time it is.
She told the Not Here to Make Friends podcast that participants are also made to stand around for hours in the car park to ‘build suspense’ beforehand.
Speaking of a recent commitment ceremony, Mishel claimed: ‘We weren’t going to leave unless I had a fight with Steve.
‘I just said, “You know what? F**k it, I’m gonna do it.” It was 11pm and guess what? We got to go home at 11.15pm [after the argument]. Giddy up, we’re out.’

Last year, Daily Mail Australia revealed how participants were ‘held in taxis for over one hour’ before filming a dinner party for the previous season.
A bizarre photograph revealed a line of taxis queuing down the car park of the show’s studio warehouse in Lilyfield, each with a contestant inside.
It is believed this was done to build tension before they eventually arrive on set, and to save all drama until the cast are finally in front of the cameras.
