According to Michelle, those seeking love on Married at First Sight should also take the application and matchmaking process seriously. The Married at First Sight application leaves no stone unturned when it comes to dating history and desires, so no one should rush through questions or give answers they think the experts want to hear.
"As you're filling out the application, I think it's important to really take it seriously," Michelle added. "Think about what you want in a partner and really try to be thorough as well. Because that was something that I took really seriously, and I ended up with Cameron."
Cameron couldn't agree more with Michelle, encouraging anyone who applies to find love on Married at First Sight to keep an "open mind" as they navigate the experiment.
"Be ready to be very vulnerable and talk about some things that maybe you've been a little too nervous to talk about," Cameron said with a knowing laugh. "But I had a great time. I had a great, great experience. So just go in with an open mind."
Married at First Sight might demand vulnerability, but Cameron argues it's a rewarding process. "I can't believe it was such a great match," Cameron tells Peacock Blog. "You know, I was hopeful coming into it, but I was cautiously optimistic. So it's really cool to see, I mean, Michelle is just an amazing person, and she has so many values that I was looking for, that I value."
