Married at first sight porn gran Mishel Karen slams Channel 10 producers for using polyamorous relationships on The Bachelors as a gimmick to get more ratings: ‘It’s just a money heist’
Reality TV star-porn-grandma Mishel Karen has targeted Channel 10, claiming the producers of The Bachelors are using polyamorous relationships as a gimmick to get more ratings.
In a shocking twist, the matchmaking show has encouraged female contestants to swap partners and date all three leading bachelors – Felix Von Hofe, Jed McIntosh and Thomas Malucelli.
The former Married At First Sight star, 51, said the twist is just a way for producers to “push the boundaries and get more views and make more money” while completely misrepresenting polyamorous relationships in real life .

“A lot of the girls [on the show] Not only the spectators are shocked by the situation. So the producers are doing this for good or for money?’ She said.
“If this was a legitimate way to uncover different forms of relationships in a healthy way, then the candidates would already have known about this type of relationship and would be open to it.
“Why not show off a healthy poly relationship without scandal and hype?”

Karen went on to blast the producers of Married At First Sight, saying her attempt to portray same-sex relationships with Tash Herz and Amanda Micallef failed for the same reason.
“MAFS was the same gender [pairing] with two people who would never like each other in a trillion years. Then the public perception is that same-sex relationships just don’t work! Reality TV isn’t all that real,” she said.
However, there are others who find the diversity at The Bachelors 2023 positive.

AICA’s Best Female Pornstar of 2022 Charlie Forde said, “It’s great to see the diversity of relationship types on one big platform.”
“Polyamory isn’t for everyone, but it should be respected by everyone and hopefully this will educate more people about what it’s like and what it feels like to be polyamorous.”
Meanwhile, Kevin Mack, CEO of Sexpo Australia, said polyamory is much more widespread than people think, especially in urban areas of the US, Canada, South Korea and Australia.

He said a 2022 US study showed that one in five adults had engaged in consensual non-monogamy at some point in their life.
“A survey of 340 polyamorous adults shows that their polyamorous relationships last an average of eight years.”
Polyamorous relationships typically involve a committed couple, each free to explore other relationships with the goal of achieving greater emotional connection.
