They were paired by relationship experts on Married At First Sight.
But despite being ‘destined’ as a couple, Blair Rachel and Sean Thomsen’s lack of chemistry has apparently seen them get the boot from the reality experiment.
The lovebirds were given an ultimatum to ‘create more drama’ and when that failed, they were dropped from the show, according to New Idea.
Saying goodbye? Despite being ‘destined’ as a couple, Blair Rachel and Sean Thomsen’s lack of chemistry has apparently seen them get the boot from Married At First Sight
‘They hardly knew each other and the producers sat them down and said they were getting the boot because they were dull,’ explained an on-set ‘insider’.
The magazine reported on Wednesday that the twosome will leave the series in episodes airing next week.
This is despite Blair and Rachel, under producer’s orders to reportedly ‘create more drama’, agreeing to an emotional heart-to-heart during the commitment ceremony.

‘They were very genuine and Sean really opened up to Blair. He discussed some very private things and actually began to cry,’ the ‘insider’ described.
‘They kicked them off anyway. They got them to fake an argument so it looked like there was another reason for them to leave, but in reality they didn’t want to pay a crew to follow them when they knew there was hardly any airtime in it,’ they added.
Daily Mail Australia has reached out to the Nine Network for further comment.

The newlyweds were barely featured during Tuesday night’s episode and appeared to butt heads, with Sean unhappy with taking orders from Blair during ‘yes’ week.
In the blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment, Sean bemoaned: ‘I don’t like being told what to do,’ after Blair teased, ‘Someone is really struggling with relinquishing control’.
The young couple had chosen to stay in the experiment during the first commitment ceremony on Sunday, but admitted they were struggling to find a ‘spark’.
