The Married at First Sight Season 18 specials aired last night, and fans of the show are chiming in on the Chicago hopefuls.
It’s been a long wait after a disastrous Season 17, but viewers hope the new cast will make up for that.
The premiere is less than a week away, and viewers were initially skeptical about the new season.
The Matchmaking Special featured several Chicago singles who applied to be on the show, but not everyone made the cut.
We got plenty of insight into how the experts Dr. Pia, Dr. Pepper, and Pastor Cal narrowed the list to five men and five women who were eventually chosen for the marital experiment.
During the matchmaking episode, the experts visited the 10 singles and announced they’d been matched and would tie the knot in two weeks.
If you missed it, the matches are Emem and Ikechi, Camille and Thomas, Madison and Allen, Karla and Juan, and Michelle and David.
