Marriage at first sight 9 and Michela’s unbearable classism towards Alex

It has been since decades that we have been told not to judge a book by its cover and it is a pity that the protagonist of that day Marriage at first sight Michela Bono was absent. It is from the first episode of the cult program of Real Time, in fact, that the girl seems clouded by the prejudices towards Alex Balbo, the husband that the three experts have chosen for her. Even before getting to the altar, her comments and jokes about her almost consort were wasted: he is forced, he has too many tattoos, he is not from Northern Rome, demonstrating a classism that at the time seemed like a perverse game to overcome the tension of the moment but which gradually proved more rooted, leaving the viewer with a particularly unpleasant feeling because it is evident that at certain moments Michela feels superior to Alex, even if we don’t quite understand why.

Leaving aside the fact that she certainly does not speak in diction and that her tastes in terms of clothing do not go unnoticed. – let’s think about her wedding dress with feathers, not exactly the first thing you take from the wardrobe -, it’s a shame that Michela is more interested in living Marriage at first sight as a challenge and as an adventure to go through together. More than trying to get to know your partner and discover the things they have in common, Michela puts up a wall by dwelling on the differences, reproaching Alex over the top because, according to him, he would have problems with Italian and English, things if this were enough to qualify a person. From his side Alex, who showed the patience of a saint from the beginning, absorbs the blow while still making his voice heard.

Faced with Michela’s constant provocations, she sketches a little and responds in kind, demonstrating a very difficult maturity to maintain in the presence of a stranger who, evidently, when she enrolled in the casting of Wedding at first sight, she must have thought that her husband would choose him, forging him in her image and likeness. We don’t want to sound populist, but it seems quite logical to us that a man cannot be judged on the basis of his educational qualifications and culture – not to mention that some of the finest and most righteous thoughts in this world often come from people without a degree, as if the degree was automatically a certificate of intelligence -. Michela Bono has chosen to live Marriage at first sight in this way: perhaps to defend herself, perhaps because finding defects in the other would help her to reinforce in her the idea of ​​having made a wrong move. Not bad, because Alex is sailing towards an awareness and a maturity that the viewer cannot fail to appreciate, cheering for him until the end.
