The fan-favorite Lifetime show, Married at First Sight, surprised fans all over the country when there weren’t four but five couples getting married this season 10.

Everyone was ready for more love, more romance and higher chance of couples making it last, yet the opposite seems to be happening.

With every episode, the MAFS couples are slowly falling apart in their love stories, with only Jessica Studer and Austin Hurd showing any sort of promise, given their giggles, sweet kisses, and lovey-dovey dates where they either hold hands or tease each other like middle schoolers.

As for the others, it seems the experts somehow neglected to see a lot of qualities and priorities of certain individuals, like Zach Justice, who has shown more care for his hair than his marriage to Mindy Shiben.

Justice has been telling Shiben literally every episode how he isn’t attracted to her, but wants to make the marriage work slowly… yet he hasn’t moved in with her, something he knew and signed up to do.

Fans on twitter believe the experts should have taken him off the show by now rather than let Mindy continue investing her heart in the guy who can’t even follow through with the vows he once said to her.

Justice’s behavior is just as inexcusable as both Taylor Dunklin and Brandon Reid, the next couple the experts swore were perfect for each other.

Dunklin and Reid had a shaky honeymoon Day 1, when Dunklin woke Reid up by filming his snoring. Reid was upset that his privacy was tampered with.

The end of the honeymoon ended with Reid believing Dunklin cared only about the cameras and cursing her— and the production crew— off on the bus to the airport.

Fans on twitter did not comprehend how Reid could sign up for reality TV and not expect his privacy to be sacrificed in some way.

Yet, the tables turned even further when Dunklin kept bringing the incident up to Reid, even after saying she wanted to move on.

Reid and Dunklin couldn’t seem to find common ground, leading Dunklin to have no problem posting a controversial Instagram post where she states she is a single woman, struggling to find anyone who meets her very simple demands.

These demands included a 6’3 man, with a job and no past of incarceration.

Hurt, Reid moved out and Dunklin has yet to empathize on why he could have found the post disrespectful. Twitter found fans that sided with Reid and Dunklin, with some saying Reid was being too hypocritical while others felt Dunklin was being too petty.

The drama, however, doesn’t end there— the remaining two couples also have weeds growing in their marriage garden.

Katie Conrad and Derek Sherman felt immediate butterflies for each other, but little did the latter know that Conrad had just left a previous relationship that still was affecting her heart when at the altar.

That previous relationship keeps coming up with Conrad mentioning that Sherman’s inability to see himself saying, “I love you” to her before Decision Day (the day the couples choose to stay married or get a divorce) scares her— she had said goodbye to another man who finally did admit he does love her.

Sherman confessed that he now feels he’s in competition with someone else.

And as Conrad and Sherman struggle with the timing of love, MAFS couple, Meka Jones and Michael Watson fight their own battle with trust.

The first day of their honeymoon found Jones and Watson sleeping in different hotel rooms because Jones felt Watson was pressuring her to sleep with him before Decision Day.

The two found a way to make up but now struggle to find trust with each other, as Jones finds Watson lying about his job. The two sleep in the same room again, but don’t share any intimate or physical connection as of yet.

At this point, MAFS fans are beyond disappointed that the experts matched couples so poorly this season, worrying that the screening process is too lenient and some do the show just for fame.

At this rate, the money on a successful couple is heavily on Struder and Hurd. Who knows, though? Maybe the remaining episodes will flicker with hope for the other four couples.
