60 seconds to catch a cheater: switch on reality TV and watch your partner’s reaction
An Australian life coach has stirred online controversy with a 60-second test she says can reveal whether your partner is a cheater. Felicity Morgan, 35, commands a following of about 108,000 on her Shadow World platform and believes a simple TV trigger can surface hidden truths. Her method is straightforward: switch on a reality show with cheating drama and watch how your partner reacts. 'All you need to do is put on the TV and choose a reality TV series where there's some cheating drama,' she started. 'Whether that be Married at First Sight or Love Is Blind, I want you to watch how they react when someone cheats.' She argues that a reaction can reveal more about a person's moral compass than words alone. The more outraged or defensive they become, she says, the more likely they are trying to convince others—and themselves—that they would never cross that line.

What the test is and how it works
This is how the test works: pick a reality show with cheating drama—Married at First Sight or Love Is Blind—and watch your partner's reaction to infidelity. 'All you need to do is put on the TV and choose a reality TV series where there's some cheating drama,' she started. 'Whether that be Married at First Sight or Love Is Blind, I want you to watch how they react when someone cheats.' 'If they're super aggressive and super passionate, it's probably a strong indicator that they're trying to make you believe that they would never do the thing that is on the TV,' she said. Morgan clarifies: 'Now I'm not saying that if you don't like cheaters that means you're a cheater. But when you are guilty of something, and that part is living inside of you, you will manipulate people [by] using external things to make them believe that you are not like that.' According to Morgan, when someone has 'no ulterior motive', their reaction tends to be quite neutral.
Reactions as windows into hidden guilt
The test hinges on a person’s response to simulated infidelity. 'The more outraged someone seems by infidelity, the more likely they are trying to convince others—and perhaps themselves—that they'd never cross that line.' 'It’s no different if someone says to you, 'I’m not a cheater,' on the first date,' she warned. 'I guarantee that they are. Because we will never defend what we’re not.' Shadow work, she says, teaches that what we advocate for most often reveals where our shadows lie. 'What they’re advocating for is usually a distraction from them looking at their own backyard.'
From Australia to Bali: a life built online and the ritual of connection
Sydney-born Felicity Morgan now lives in Bali with her husband, controversial entrepreneur Matt Cameron, and has built a thriving online community through her coaching and self-development courses. The couple left Australia for Bali because the country had become too expensive and restrictive for their businesses and family. They regularly share their relationship trials online, emphasizing that feeling connected requires active effort. One of their weekly rituals—less than 20 minutes and a non-negotiable every date night—consists of three topics: where they felt most loved that week, where they felt most disconnected, and one thing they’d love more of in the following week. Morgan says this framework helps prevent defensiveness and finger-pointing. Hundreds of followers have reacted to her latest video, with many admitting they’ll watch their next binge with fresh eyes. Whether you buy the theory or not, the message remains: sometimes the strongest reactions say the most about what we’re hiding.
