Since it is so hard for most people to wrap their heads around marrying a total stranger, people often wonder if the show is real. I mean, who would willingly sign up to commit their lives to someone they've never met? As it turns out, several thousand people are actually looking to find love with a stranger (via Showbiz Cheat Sheet).

If you are one of the thousands who gets paired with someone and eventually married on television, is that marriage legit? According to The Daily Express, it depends on where you live. If you are participating in the United Kingdom's version of the show, the union is not legally binding. However, if you are in the United States, you are in a legal marriage from first sight.

If this sounds terrifying to you, you're not alone. The United States version of the show requires the contestants to sign prenuptial agreements to prevent anything disastrous from happening if they choose to divorce at the end of the show (via The Wrap). The show will even cover some of the divorce costs if you separate within a certain time frame.
