Would you let a bunch of claimed experts decide who you should get married to? Well, you may not, but the participants of Married at First Sight (US) did. At the start of the seventeenth season of the show, we saw relationship experts, psychologists, and a few other experts put their heads together to decide who among the selected participants should marry whom.
Not many from the audience trust the experts and their reasoning behind putting a bunch of people together based on the bare minimum information, but this is not even the worst part about the show. Fans would know already that the couples are put together first, after which they meet for the first time at the altar, where they get married and are sent off on their honeymoon.
In one of the recent episodes of the show, their honeymoon season finally saw an end, thus kickstarting their lives together as a normal couple. The show, which started with five couples, is now just left with three, and they do not even seem very stable to the audience.
While the success rate of the experts matching the couples and them lasting longer than the show’s length was never that high, this season seems to have crossed all limits. Initially, we were supposed to bring five couples on the show, but we have only three, including Emily Balch and Brennan Shoykhet, Clare Kerr and Cameron Frazer, and finally, Becaa Haley and Austin Reed.
Recap
Out of the remaining three, two seem to be barely holding on to their relationship, trying to keep things going with the help of counseling from the show’s relationship experts, though we are not sure if they should even trust their advice.
In the eighth episode, we saw their honeymoon period come to an end, and the couples landed back in Denver to finally move in together and live with each other to see how good of a match they are. By the time the ninth episode rolled out, the couples had already spent some time together in their homes, and as we had suspected, things had not gone smoothly.
Orion and Lauren’s marriage suffered quite a lot, which was a surprise to the audience, who was convinced that the two would be able to figure things out eventually. We saw a housewarming party, where the couples came together to celebrate, but even that ended up getting soured.
The last episode finally had a huge fight among some of the couples, which has left fans wondering if any of them will stay together till the final episode of the season, let alone till after the season is over. The upcoming episode will have the couples coming together once more, this time for a potluck dinner.
But just when you think that the get-together will end up turning out just fine, something big will ruin the moment completely. There will be some brand new challenges that these three couples will be put through, and to help them come out of the situation unscathed, Dr. Pia will be there as their guide.
