Auditions: The Marriage Ref

What are three things that annoy you most about your partner and do you want them broadcast to the nation? Then read on...

angrySeven is now looking for married couples for its upcoming series The Marriage Ref, based on the new format by Jerry Seinfeld.

The concept attracted a good deal of buzz at MIPCOM, thanks to Seinfeld’s own attendance. Seven picked up the rights to both the US version, to begin production in January, and a local version. Looks like it is wasting no time on a local series.

Disputes between real-life spouses will be light-heartedly tackled by celebrities, comedians and sports stars who comment, judge and decide who’s right and who’s wrong. Presumably it will reveal a lot about the judges’ own lives too.

Seven is seeking couples who argue about parenting, wacky hobbies, crazy in-laws, meddling mates, or even disgusting habits.You must be married and aged 20 or above, an Australian Citizen or permanent resident for at least the last 2 years.

Here are some of the questions you will be asked as part of the Application:

Previous Marriages (Please provide details):
What is the ongoing argument you need resolved by The Marriage Ref?
What are your three favourite things about your partner?
What are three things that annoy you most about your partner?
Do you have any talents, party tricks, or unusual hobbies/interests?
If selected, would you be able to commit to this project for a period of approximately one week?
Please upload a clear photo of both wife and husband (head and shoulders)
