Channel 9's MAFS, aka Married at First Sight, is a ratings winner with a problematic track record. This season, even NSW Police have gotten involved — looking into a door-punching incident between 'groom' Paul and 'bride' Carina.

James Weir, news.com.au's longtime MAFS recapper, joins Bev and Hannah to give his take on the latest happenings at Trash Towers, and why 2.8m Australians are so hooked on the show.
