Seven developing Honeymoon Crashers
Could this be Seven's answer to Married at First Sight?

Seven is developing a new reality format with the working title The Honeymoon Crashers, according to The Age.
It is tipped to be Seven’s answer to Married at First Sight, but is understood to be at “the brainstorming phase.”
A production source familiar with the project said it will likely be an “ugly hybrid” of other reality programs, with relationships put to the test and plenty of voyeurism.
“Everyone’s tapping into Married at First Sight,” the source said. “[Seven bosses] have had a litany of duds. Apart from Sunrise and the news, they don’t have much going for them. They’re going to experiment with this.”
Seven recently announced a revival of Temptation Island but advised it was “delayed” after the failure of The Super Switch.
Meanwhile former My Kitchen Rules contestants are set to return, with rumours of contestants divided into two households to increase the conflict.
“[It will be] MKR house against MKR house,” the source said. “The idea is to get more dinner parties and things with couples where people can be outside a studio environment.”

Why not just slip a new ” hot ” partner in between the sheets of a just married couple and be done with it ?
This genre is just so boring and I cannot believe people actually get paid to come up with such drivel.
Seven hasn’t had a breakout hit since MKR many moons ago, and if you suggest the anaemic bogan-fest House Rules is a contender then you must be having a laugh.
Even the saintly Joh Griggs jumped off that stinker of a show …
A show that has had about 8 seasons like HR doesn’t happen without success. I would deem First Dates a hit surely?
I don’t consider First Dates a tent pole hit, and its a British format isn’t it ?
900k a hit in my book but each to his own.
Ugly Hybrid, sounds like they mean a rip off of more than one TV show?
They still have The Proposal coming up as well. I think 10 were smart to get in first with Bachelor before The Proposal & Love Island starts.
A bit hypocritical of them to want their own MAFS when they had their big hit job on Sunday Night.
I’d rather they bring back Please Marry My Boy. That was a fun show. Please don’t judge me. ?
Family friendly at least.
Maybe Seven would be best putting out cheap stuff like Dogs Behaving (very) Badly last night seeing it pulled in similar to Dance Boss last year on Seven and did better than The Super Switch. More seriously it boggles my mind thta Seven would consider this given that flop and the subsequent putting “on-hold” of their plans to do Temptation Island.
Please stop. We don’t need another MAFS, 1 is already to much
Another Dud !!
Seven…. Very desperate and very sad. Surely they can do better than this.
It’s a race to the bottom of the bickie barrel. Please development and programming executives, stop producing this rubbish. I don’t watch any of it, but it still frustrates me that it exists.
Everytime Seven comes up with something as “the answer” to Married at First Sight the question seems to be “What won’t rate anywhere near as well?”
Surely they’ve been around long enough to realise the answer is usually to create something completely different, not a carbon copy.
When have they ever done that?
