«Breaking News» MAFS' Melissa Lucarelli reveals what really happens at the commitment ceremony

The commitment ceremonies on Married at First Sight are always filled with plenty of drama and unexpected moments.

But one rather surprising revelation is how long it takes to film each couple's time in front of the experts. 

Melissa Lucarelli, 38, told the Real Talk podcast on Wednesday that while on TV each couple appears for only a few minutes, it actually takes much longer to film.

'You're up there for a very long time': MAFS' Melissa Lucarelli reveals what really happens at the commitment ceremony 

'The commitment ceremonies go on for a long time so you're up there for a long time,' she said. 

You can be up there for 45 minutes.

'Say the Ines and Bronson [drama]... imagine that for 45 minutes that's why my face was [all over the place],' she said referring to incompatible couple Ines Basic and Bronson Norrish.

It comes after another bride, Cyrell Paule, 29, dropped a bombshell about her co-stars in an interview with Woman's Day podcast on Thursday.

Cyrell claimed some of her co-stars, including her 'husband' Nic Jovanovic, 28, are only on the show to boost their acting careers and increase their Instagram followers.

'...They're honestly thinking they're going to be the next Nicole Kidman and Brad Pitt... and they just want Instagram followers!' she said candidly.  

'You guys think you're going to end up at the Oscars or something? This is like maximum six months... settle down.'

Cyrell claims she confronted Nic on the show, but producers haven't aired any of it to ensure that the seemingly down-to-earth electrician gets a 'good edit'.

'From day dot, I said to Nic 'you're here for fame',' she said.

'And that's what they're not showing, he would ask 'why aren't we getting [photographed] Cyrell?' and 'what do you think happens when you get more Instagram followers?'

'They don't air me calling him fake and wanting fame, they didn't air me saying to him 'if you're here for fame tell me, but don't make me look like a fool!'

Channel Nine are determined to top the success of season 5, which drew in an impressive 1.75 million viewers during the reunion finale - and so far the drama appears to be paying off.

During it's first week, the total cross-platform average viewership exceeded 2.139 million viewers. 

However, viewers have begun questioning just how authentic the show really is.

From the unconvincing 'affair' between Ines Basic and Sam Ball to the bizarre pairing of self-proclaimed 'former lesbian', Lauren Huntriss, with 29-year-old virgin, Matt Bennett, many viewers are convinced the cast are paid actors.

'Look honestly the worst part of this is how little chemistry Ines and Sam actually have. Hire some better actors next time #MAFS,' one viewer tweeted.

Staged? Viewers have claimed there is no chemistry between Ines and Sam

Editing fail: An embarrassing editing fail on Monday night's episode saw Sam's 'wife' Elizabeth Sobinoff wearing two different outfits and hairstyles in what was supposed to be the same scene

'Ines and Sam meeting up seems so fake. Where did you find these actors? The dump?' another tweet read.

A third person wrote: 'How much money are you paying Ines and Sam lol obviously actors #MarriedAtFirstSight.'

One prominent media expert told Daily Mail Australia on Thursday that MAFS risks jumping the shark as the lack of authenticity is a turn off for viewers.

'In a highly competitive media environment, conflict and drama are the 'low hanging fruit' that reality shows rely on to catapult them into ratings success,' said Nicole Reaney of InsideOut Public Relations.

'When reality TV first appeared on our screens, there was definitely more authenticity and 'risk' to those shows and that's what drew in the mass followings. Viewers enjoyed seeing a more relatable cast.

'The volume and shift in reality series as a whole has seen Aussies become more cynical in the intention behind the cast and the show. Over time shows risk losing their initial loyal audience.

Next stop, Hollywood? Sam, 26, who is among the most talked about grooms, has been revealed as an aspiring actor as seen on his Star Now profile

Experienced: In his Star Now bio, Sam says he has 'a lot of experience within modelling and commercial roles'

'With previous cast commenting and current viewer criticism of the show, Nine does risk overstepping that line.'   

Newly surfaced 'acting' photos and videos of cast members have fuelled the 'paid actors' theory.

Last month, Telv Williams from MAFS season 5, claimed there were paid actors on the show last year.

'... I wonder how many paid actors they've hired this year? I know most were actors in our season. I can't believe it hasn't come out yet,' he wrote on Instagram.

Daily Mail Australia has contacted Channel Nine for comment.

Melissa Lucarelli, 38, told the Real Talk podcast on Wednesday ...

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
