Casting process for MAFS needs reevaluation as hot-headed and questionable characters slip through.
Married at first sight Season 18 hasn’t even premiered yet and there’s already a scandal that could affect the franchise. Married at first sight Season 17 airs from mid-October 2023 to late April 2024, making it the longest season in the franchise. It was not only the longest, but it also had the most contentious cast MAFS History. What’s more, all couples of season 17 failed. Only one couple, Becca Haley and Austin Reed, said yes to each other on Decision Day, but they broke up the next day and never reconciled.
Season 17’s cast was contentious as all but one couple participated in a failed group dupe. They worked hard to present themselves and each other in a positive light when they stood in front of the cameras, so as not to be judged too harshly. And to get a negative. The plan backfired because the couples built up resentment towards their partners and each other since they couldn’t be their authentic selves when the cameras were around. With season 18 looming, fans have high hopes for the upcoming season, but one particular cast member may be casting a negative shadow.

It’s a red flag
Since Lives Married at first sight Season 17 ended, there were no official trailers released for season 18. However, at the end of the final episode of season 17, a sneak peek was shown. A different sneak peek was also shown at the end of the second reunion episode of season 17. In neither trailer are anyone’s identities given. There were only three cast members whose faces were even shown. What viewers can hear in the trailers, however, are the voices of the cast members.
One particular cast member had a very memorable voice, and it could be heard in two separate scenes depicting drama. In the first, the mysterious male cast member got up angrily from the table he was sitting at with his adopted wife and told her something very aggressive.
“You want your mother’s room I will give it to you.”
The disrespectful and ornery way the cast member spoke to his wife doesn’t seem like it could go well in any marriage. This means the experts cast someone with anger issues and an inability to handle situations with care, control and emotional intelligence. It is unclear the context in which this sentence pertains, but nevertheless, It is not a good way for a husband to talk to his wife.
In another scene, seemingly later in the season, the voice of the same mystery male member can be heard addressing the cameras in a similar fashion. They found each other again when they released their outburst.
“I’m not everyone’s cup of tea but I’m someone Hennessy and Coke and in four weeks there won’t be a wedding.”
It is clear that the caste member in question of the Married at first sight Season 18 trailer has issues dealing with how they handle the challenging eight-week-long experience.
Why was this MAFS season 18 cast member chosen?
The casting process has allowed poor choices to fail
This ornery MAFS Season 18 cast members were chosen by the show’s panel of “experts,” Dr. Pepper Schwartz, Dr. Pia Holek, and Pastor Cal Roberson, in conjunction with the production team. The three experts have the responsibility to look at the available pool of candidates for the show and decide not only if the people are people ready to be matched, but also which candidates would make a strong connection and couple. They have to take into consideration each applicant’s non-negotiables, appearance preferences, value systems and cultural background when matching people.
The reason for this hot-headed cast member being chosen also lies with these MAFS Production team. The production team is what makes the announcement and does the leg work of finding applicants in each city. Additionally, they explore dating platforms to find people they think have TV quality and appeal on those platforms.
It’s unclear what process was used with the mysterious male cast member, but it’s clear they let an unhinged man slip through the process and onto the show.
Will this MAFS Season 18 cast member be bad for the season?
The signs are there
This ornery cast member has the potential to damage the show’s reputation even more than the show has already damaged itself. By casting someone with anger and communication issues, the season is set to be judged heavily by viewers. In the past, there have been several cast members, such as Chris Williams, Ryan DeNino and David Norton, who are shady characters with inflammatory tendencies, and Their behavior damages the credibility and entertainment value of the show.
Given the failure of the last few Married at first sight Seasons, season 18 needs to get right with all the casting choices – and it doesn’t look like that’s going to happen. The season 18 cast member in question has the potential to cause his wife to say no on Decision Day, which would count as a failure.
This person also has the potential to make viewers judge the show negatively because it is coming off several seasons that were judged negatively, and the show needs a win.
