The pictures show how the three-month production is anything but glamorous.

They rarely smiled as they went about their daily routines while based at the Skye Suites apartment complex on Kent Street.
Instead, they looked exhausted, strained and depressed.

On October 15, Michael Goonan had a meltdown at a café in the CBD.

What happened? Seb failed to crack a smile on November 27, days before filming his final vows
But their strained expressions were likely due to a combination of factors.
Each participant was most likely feeling homesick, tired from long days on set, and exhausted by the constant drama among the cast.
Married At First Sight’s seventh season limped to its conclusion on Sunday night.
Many viewers lost interest this year because all of the major storylines happened off camera and the lack of continuity led to confusion.
