Married At First Sight Season 18 Refuses To Fix Past Mistakes After Bringing Denver Cast Back To Give Advice
Married At First Sight is about to return to Lifetime, but fans have already noticed red flags after watching the pre-season specials. Married At First Sight season 17 ended in April, but the experts failed to find compatible couples. Every single relationship from that season ended. Initially, Becca Haley and Austin Reed said yes on Decision Day, but then they got divorced. Chloe Brown wanted to stay married, but Michael Shiakallis said no, and their relationship came to an end. This has become a pattern with Married At First Sight; there are very few couples that have managed to stay together.
Fans are angry after Lifetime brought back Denver cast members to give advice to the Married At First Sight season 18 stars.
One week before the Married At First Sight season 18 premiere, Lifetime aired two specials, “Matchmaking In Chicago” and “Kicking Off Chicago,” to get fans excited for the new season. Unfortunately, the negative reactions were swift. After Lifetime posted a clip from one of the specials that featured some MAFS season 17 stars giving advice to the new cast members, fans took to the comments section to express their disbelief that anybody from the Denver season would be asked to give advice.
As @Her_2024__ put it, “It should be know[n] as the Forgotten Season from how horrible and fake it was!” @Terrismithjones bluntly said, “We DO NOT want to see them.” In particular, several fans found it shocking that Michael and Lauren were giving advice. “That’s ridiculous,” @Reerae1 exclaimed, with a crying-laughing emoji. @Mybeautifulpoms admitted they’re “out” after seeing Lauren giving advice. Meanwhile, some fans are really hoping MAFS season 18 redeems the series. As @Missjowebb put it, “Please Chicago…redeem MAFS!!! We miss a good REAL love story!!!”
Unfortunately, Lauren will more than likely have to eat her words after the season is complete because of the terrible track record Married At First Sight has. This show has been on the air for 17 seasons and the success rate is less than 20%. That should be a huge warning sign to not only the new couples that fans are about to see on their screens but also a warning to alums like Lauren and Michael, who should know better, especially since their own MAFS marriages failed.
Our Take On Denver Cast Giving Advice For MAFS Season 18 Cast
The fans in the Instagram comments section are right. Having people like Lauren and Michael come back to talk about the new MAFS cast members doesn’t make any sense because newlyweds shouldn’t be taking advice from past reality stars whose relationships crashed and burned on national TV. It makes for great TV to see Lauren and Michael on our screens again, but the new cast would be better served by hearing from the successful couples, despite the fact that there are very few of them.
