Married at first sight Fans are seriously hoping that season 18 will be entertaining, but I’m sure it will be a letdown and viewers will be upset. Married at first sight Season 17 ended in late April 2024. It began in mid-October 2023, making it the longest season in Married at first sight History. Since it ended, fans have had to endure an almost 6-month-long hiatus from the show, with some spoilers about season 18 available in between. In the 17th season, six couples show up to the altar, with only 5 of them getting married.
Married at first sight Premiere in 2014. The first 7 seasons highlighted the wedding journey of three couples, while seasons 8 and 9 featured four couples, and every season that came after that featured five couples getting married. Looking ahead to season 18, it looks like all five of the couples say I do. However, in my vast experience with the show, that doesn’t usually mean much. As an expert on the show, and with my knowledge of what could happen, I don’t think fans will enjoy season 18.

MAFS season 17 bombed with fans
There were issues with the cast
Self and others Married at first sight Fans are really looking forward to season 17 in Denver and, hopefully, watching well-matched pairs continue after Decision Day. However, season 17 bombed. It was obvious that the experts, Dr. Pepper Schwartz, Pastor Cal Roberson, and Dr. Pia Holek did a poor job of matching the couples. The season has MAFS‘The first runaway bride situationThat threw in the season. Furthermore, one of the couples broke up right after the honeymoon, while a second couple broke up on the one-month anniversary, even though they never had any chemistry to begin with.
another one Live MAFS Couple had an annoying journey after Brennan Shoykhet lost attraction to Emily Balch during the honeymoon but only revealed why days before Decision Day, which led to their breakup. Only Becca Haley and Austin Reed said yes to each other on Decision Day, but broke up the next day. What’s more, the victim of the runaway bride situation, Michael Shiakalis, was rematched and married Chloe Brown, only to say no to her when she said yes on Decision Day, citing that he was not ready for marriage.
I wanted more of MAFS Season 17 in terms of quality connections, high-value journeys and entertaining drama, and this season failed to deliver any of it.
I noticed that there were a lot of filler scenes and editing due to Michael and Chloe starting their journey halfway through the other couple’s eight weeks because of the runaway bride. I know fans are upset by the lackluster season, and social media reflects that disdain. Which has left fans highly anticipating MAFS season 18, but there are signs that it also won’t sit well with viewers.
MAFS is not changing anything from season 17
When major changes should have been made
Unfortunately, I know that Nothing about the casting and format will change in Married at first sight Season 18. The routine of five couples will remain the same, and the show is even revisiting Chicago for a second time, which I think is less interesting than if they chose a new location. In the early days of MAFSThe couples got to honeymoon individually and also got to find a place to live together.
These days, and what I’ve noticed that hasn’t worked, is that the couple spends the honeymoon together and attends activities and dinners together. I feel They should be spending quality time with each other Get to know each other. Furthermore, all five couples will live in a neutral living space all in the same building.
Historically, I know has hurt more than it has helped, because There are also many outside distractions for the couples. While it is engaging to watch the couples talk to each other and spill the tea about the issues in their relationships, it detracts from what the couples have decided to do. The format of the couples mixing on the honeymoon and sharing a building was not a positive thing, and I know season 18 will be much the same, which will annoy fans and not bode well for the couples.
Viewers do not like the wedding at first sight experts
They’ve dropped the ball too much
I’m sure the other major conflict viewers will have with MAFS Season 18 will be with the experts. The experts have consistently dropped the ball when it comes to their matchups, as they’ve only produced two lasting couples since season 14 alone.
I feel that they have failed to recognize or take into consideration the cultural differences of the participants, non-negotiables, and preferences of appearance, which has led to ill-matched couples who break up even before decision day.
what’s more, The experts have demonstrated their inability to help guide the couples Through their issues, and their removed approach to understand where the real problems lie in each marriage. I saw the experts giving bad advice, not being available when they needed to be, and not handling situations with the attention and sensitivity that the couple’s problems called for. The fact that the experts remain the same is a huge red flag for viewers, and I know that alone season 18 is set to have a negative reception.
MAFS needs to make some changes
Including not casting cloak chasers
I am sure Married at first sightHis future with his reception among fans is resting on the quality of season 18. Since the season has not yet fallen, it is difficult to predict if any changes will be made. for one, The show should have backup couples To fill in if one of the original five call it quits early in the season.
As far as casting is concerned, there have been some notable clout chasers cast on the show, which has taken a toll MAFS‘ Credibility and value. Since the system for casting by co-opting people from dating apps and by regular applicants has seemingly remained the same, Clout chasers may make their way through the process because they have reality TV prospects, Not because they want to get married. I don’t think so Married at first sight Season 18 will be well-received by fans because not enough changes have been made from the pitfalls of the past seasons.
Married at first sight Season 18 premieres Tuesday, October 15, 2024 at 8 PM, EST.
