“Couples Are Matching Themselves!”: Signs Married At First Sight Could Have New Twists In Upcoming Seasons

Given the shocking outcomes in Married at First Sight season 18, there are signs that upcoming seasons could have new twists. Married at First Sight season 18 featured five couples’ journeys to marry a stranger that was selected by a panel of “expert” therapists. Five couples have been featured on the hit reality show since season 10. The original seasons had three couples, while seasons 8 and 9 showcased four. Camiile Parson and Thomas McDonald, Juan Franco and Karla Juarez, Madison Myers and Allen Slovick, Michelle Tomblin and David Trimble, and Ikechi Ojoré and Emem Obot got married this season.

Historically, Married at First Sight has had a low success rate. Of the 69 duos (including season 18’s) matched, only 13 of those pairs are still together. But it is important to note that those long-term marriages have been solid ones, and MAFS babies have even come out of some. A lot has changed within the show over the years and there are hints that it will be changing again as scandal, poor casting, and producer interference have taken a hold of the now-Lifetime network series. Peacock streaming platform will be taking over the show in 2025.
