Married At First Sight has had a tumultuous season in Denver, but things appear to be turning around despite being dramatic on Married At First Sight season 18 if the trailer is to be believed. With Married At First Sight season 17 being historic in both good ways and bad, the next season of the series has viewers hopeful for a reset. The cast of MAFS season 17 revealed at the reunion that they willfully tricked the production team and audience into believing a certain version of the events, while the reality of what happened went on behind closed doors.
While MAFS season 18 is coming soon, the events of the current season are still fresh in viewers’ minds. After seeing five couples make it to the altar and choose to marry sight unseen, the drama of Married At First Sight season 17 didn’t seem to stop as their journeys continued. The couples struggled to find their footing throughout the season, and many felt a layer of complete disconnect that they spoke about on camera, but viewers couldn’t grasp during the episodes. When it came out that they were all working to game the system, their journeys became more clear.
MAFS Season 17 Was A Flop
Throughout Married At First Sight season 17, the cast struggled to connect in ways that were incredibly obvious to the audience. While each of the couples had a fair shot at the beginning, aside from Michael and Chloe, things got difficult within a matter of days for the other couples. Disclosing on the Married At First Sight season 17 reunion that they worked together to game the system and plan out storylines to make themselves look good on camera, the cast had very little time to authentically get to know each other before choosing to deceive production and the audience.
With just one couple having chosen to stay married on Decision Day, the cast seemed to fail the experiment entirely. While the couple who chose to stay married, Becca and Austin, almost immediately broke up the day after, the season has been considered a flop by audiences as well as the experts and host. Married At First Sight season 17 is a season that viewers likely won’t want to revisit in the future.
Everything The MAFS Season 18 Trailer Showed
While there weren’t many details shared in the Married At First Sight season 18 teaser trailer shown during the Denver reunion, there was some information about the new cast and their stories. Married At First Sight season 18 will take place in Chicago, the hometown of Dr. Pia Holec. With a whole new group of singles hoping they’ll be meeting the love of their life, the experts are going to work hard to make matches that last, especially after being duped by the cast of the current season. The cast members of Chicago aren’t shown, but viewers can hear them.
In the trailer, several singles are shown talking to the experts about what they’re looking for in a relationship, as well as what they want in a marriage as a whole. Sharing their most personal details with the experts, several cast members are told in the trailer that they’re going to be married sight unseen in just two weeks. The weddings are then teased in the trailer, and though there is not much context surrounding them, it’s clear that they’re dramatic. While MAFS season 17 had a historic runaway bride moment, MAFS season 18 may have a similar runaway situation.
Everything We Know About MAFS Season 18
Very little is known about Married At First Sight season 18 thus far, but with what we do know and the teaser trailer, there is some information to be shared. Married At First Sight season 18 will take place in Chicago, a first for the series. With the same panel of experts that Married At First Sight has been using for the last several seasons, the matchup will likely be somewhat rocky from the start. With the potential for a runaway bride shown with one of the brides seeming to get cold feet, there’ll certainly be a lot of drama.
There Is Still One Episode Of Season 17
While Married At First Sight season 18’s teaser trailer is finally out, there’s still more to be seen from the current Denver cast. Surprisingly, there will be another episode of MAFS season 17 that was filmed after the reunion. It appears there have been interesting shifts in the cast dynamics, pitting Chloe against the rest of the women. Outside of the drama between Chloe and the rest of the girls, there appear to be some new connections throughout the MAFS cast. With a little bit more drama to go, Married At First Sight season 17 isn’t over just yet.
