In season one, a video clip was shown to a three-member celebrity panel depicting both sides of a dispute. The celebrities made humorous observations, deliberated the merits and voted on who should win the debate. Though the Marriage Ref (Papa) took their votes into consideration, he was free to make his own decision about who was right. In addition to the celebrity panel, season one featured a fact checker who could provide additional information to aid in the decision making. ''Today'' correspondents Natalie Morales and Maria Menounos and MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski filled this role. Changes have been announced for season two.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title='Marriage Ref' Host Tom Papa Previews Big Changes, Celebrity Guests for Season 2 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title='The Marriage Ref' Tom Papa riffs )〕 In these episodes, couples will appear live in studio, and at the end of each show, the studio audience will vote on which of the night's three winners is "The Rightest." The winner will receive $25,000 and a billboard in their hometown declaring that they are right. Reviewers have described the show as a renewal of the panel game format popular in classic American television. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Marriage Ref (U.S. TV series)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
