MAFS UK’s Mel Schilling Defends Values‑First Matchmaking, Explains Pairings Beyond ‘Type’

She is promoting Google’s AI Mode as a dating aid during the show’s final week.

Overview

  • Schilling says matches are built on shared values rather than physical attraction.
  • The experts sometimes steer participants away from their usual type to give them what they need and encourage growth.
  • She notes that limited airtime means viewers do not always see the background behind controversial pairing decisions.
  • Many applicants arrive to the experiment feeling worn down by modern dating and past relationship disappointments.
  • Schilling has partnered with Google AI, describing its AI Mode as an “ultimate wingman” for profiling behavior, first‑date ideas and reducing overthinking.
