CBS picks up arranged-marriage series
CBS is treading into potentially controversial reality TV territory again.
The network has ordered a new series from the producers of "Top Chef" that puts lovelorn singles into arranged marriages.
The show introduces four adults age approximately 25-45 who are anxious to get married but have been unsuccessful in their search for a mate. Their friends and family select a spouse for them, and the newly paired couple exchange marital vows. The series follows their marriages.
The rest of the details for the project, whose early working title is "Arranged Marriage," are being kept under wraps.

WTF?
Who came up with this concept, the Unification Church? That's the way they do marriage in the Moonies.
Among other cults...
Are they required to "consummate" right away or do they get to know each other first?
I would be very interested to know how they plan to "spin" this. Will it be "family-and-friends-know-best" or will it recognize that most of the time opting for an arranged marriage won't solve whatever problems people are having finding a partner. They will simply be delegating this very important choice to other parties.
CBS is promoting Arranged Marriages. The The magnetic poles of this world are flipping.
