Married at Frist Sight expert Paul C Brunson has confessed that he and his co-stars observations were 'off' after facing criticism from viewers during the latest episode.
Living up to expectations after last year's explosive series, the latest run of the popular E4 show has proved to be compelling viewing as a new bunch of singles walked down the aisle to say 'I do' to complete strangers. The new series has thrown up plenty of drama, with honeymoon tension, angry walk outs and even a 'cheating' scandal, after newcomer Matt got close to Whitney, despite them both being married to someone else.
The latter has caused no end of tension on Married at First Sight this year, with the cast divided on their feelings at Paul and his fellow experts allowing Matt and Whitney to re-enter the experiment as a new couple, after their respective partners Gemma and Duka both quit.

The pair made an unexpected entrance as the cast gathered for the latest dinner party during Monday night's episode. And while some of the other couples got to their feet to welcome them, others sat stern faced as they walked in, with Zoe particularly vocal about his disapproval of them being granted a second chance.
Both Matt and Whitney stood their ground against the frostiness towards them, with the MAFS experts seen praising the pair as they looked on, as well as hitting out at the 'unfair' criticism directed at George and April in the anonymous letters read out round the dinner table.
However, viewers at home weren't too happy with the experts' stance on things. One directly tweeted Paul to complain: "Love PCB but what is going on with the experts this episode??? Miles off reality! And, as he often does, Paul responded to the post to hold his hands up that the experts got things wrong, replying: "I completely agree. As I’m watching the series with you I realize a major issue is that we’re not seeing what happens outside the dinner parties and commitment ceremonies.
"This year, the stories are moving so quick that without that further context, our commentary is off." He added: "It appears that almost one week of content is being edited down to a single episode. I was there and even I am getting slightly lost."
IN response to Paul's tweet, one unimpressed viewer told him: "There was way too much trying to justify why Matt and Whitney deserve to be there by the experts tonight. You can justify it as much as you like but the fact remains that the programme is about getting MARRIED at first sight, which they are not."
