And given all the drama on the reality show in recent weeks, it is not surprising that Married at First Sight has been such a hit with viewers.
Sunday night's commitment ceremony lead to a mass exodus that saw Sam and Elizabeth leave the show alongside Bronson and his 'wife' Ines Basic.
Sam kicked things off by explaining that he'd never found his Elizabeth attractive but was drawn to Ines.

'Obviously, from the start, I've been honest and said that I'm not feeling a connection, I'm not feeling the vibes at all, I'm not connecting with her in a mental way, a physical way, any way at all,' he said.
'Then Ines obviously not getting along with her partner. There was an attraction there between Ines and I. And the opportunity arose where we could catch up and say hello and whatever, so, obviously, we did.'
After hearing all this, Elizabeth, who was red-eyed and upset, voted to leave, saying she felt she never had the opportunity to have a relationship.
And realising that Sam did not want to commit to her long term, Ines voted to leave too.
Not impressed: Bronson followed suit, also choosing leave, after being humiliated by news of the 'affair'
