I'm all alone, and I don't even have that anymore. I literally kissed goodbye to my music career. I am then shoved into quarantine upon arriving home and I am all by myself and no one knew what to expect in the future. tour, all of a sudden we're getting emergency flights home to Australia. I had been on tour in Europe and as we were on the way to the airport going to a U.K. Was your interest in signing up for the show primarily a scientific one to see how these factors are considered and play out? I think we all know that there are a lot of couples that are not matched with any intention that they work because that doesn't make great TV. Judges are the experts used to match people. I don't believe in the science behind the techniques used on Married at First Sight. For example, if people have similar sounding names or names that start with the same letter, there is a higher than can be explained, purely by chance correlation between them. I studied this at university when I was doing my science degree on things that tend to have a higher than average correlation between certain things. people. I'm a believer in the science behind being able to match somebody based on compatibilities and the scientific theory. What was your first impression of the show? Are you a believer in the concept of love at first sight in general? I had heard of the show Married at First Sight when I ended up going down that road, but I had never actually watched it.

I'll watch Netflix or something on my laptop or my phone, but I haven't watched television since I was a child. I heard of all of these other shows, but I have never had a TV in my house since I have been living independently, which has been the majority of my adult life. When I was 11, I watched the first Australian Idol and the first Big Brother with my family in 2011 and then I never watched reality TV again. It’s been an inconsequential thing that's existed. Is it something that you've always detested? I did for forever, but somehow topped that mountain, and I suppose now I'm on a backslide in my life.

Well, I'm not! I haven't really watched reality TV except for the one that I was a part of just because I had to. I actually spent a lot of the last year watching a ton of reality TV, so I feel well equipped for this conversation that we're about to have. So, in the early morning for us and the evening for her, we jumped on a Zoom call with Booka Nile to chat about her time on Married At First Sight, what went on behind the scenes, what the deal with Brett was and the unexpected support she received from Make Them Suffer fans. Admirably, she clung to her personal core values and pushed back on issues related to sexism and misogyny, ultimately leaving her partner, Brett Helling twisting in the wind. Nile's experience on the show, however, was quite rocky and did not end in marriage nor true love. Instead, Australia's metal fans rallied together in full support of one of their own searching for love on television and her first line on the show, 'Have you ever listened to, like, metalcore?' was even turned into a popular meme as she instantly won everyone over and dodged the dreaded 'sellout' accusations. It was actually quite the opposite - she was terrified the band would receive backlash from the metal community and even told her bandmates she was willing to quit the band if the fans began to revolt. The furthest thing from Nile's mind was projecting the metalcore band she joined in 2018 to the mainstream consciousness.
