Married at First Sight fans have been wondering for years if there is a financial incentive for taking the time to film a Lifetime season. Recently, the Kinetic Content CEO dished on whether or not cast members are cashing checks. So, what did they have to say?
Married At First Sight: Marrying A Stranger Has Proven To Be Popular
Even though Married at First Sight fans largely agree that the show has gone down the tubes over the last few seasons, the premise of marrying a stranger at the altar without seeing them beforehand has been drawing in viewers since the show first premiered.
A decade and 17 seasons later, Married at First Sight is still a popular show among viewers. In addition, with popular streaming services picking up seasons of the show, these platforms are exposing new audiences to older seasons, viewers who may not have been aware that a show like this existed.

Someone needs to get a therapist on standby for the Married at First Sight San Diego cast because they are not okay.
The former couples are again getting an onslaught of negative comments even though their season aired in 2023.
You can blame Netflix for that since Season 15 just became available on the streaming platform.
That means there are a slew of new Mafs viewers just now meeting the cast, and they have much to say about their behavior.
Miguel Santiago got a mouthful from an angry troll who took things way too far with their racist rhetoric.
Miguel shared a screenshot of their exchange online, which was crude and nasty.

Married at First Sight Season 17 in Denver was such an epic fail, according to fans. It looks like Michael Shiakallis is resorting to violence to cope. So, what’s the latest from him since the Lifetime season went off the air?
Married At First Sight: Season 17 In Denver The Worst Yet
The majority of Married at First Sight fans have been saying for years now that the show has gotten progressively worse with each new season Lifetime churns out. The show has gone downhill, according to fans, and Season 17 in Denver put a spotlight on everything that is wrong with what the show has become.
It used to be that Married at First Sight would air about one season per year. They also used to focus on fewer couples, giving viewers more time to invest in each of the relationships. These days, the show doesn’t feel as genuine,...

It’s hard to forget Alyssa, who quickly became one of the most hated cast members in the show’s history due to her horrid treatment of her husband, Chris.
The nightmare started on their wedding day and sadly it only got worse from there.

Lauren Good and Emily Balch are getting called out on social media after they threw major shade at castmates Chloe Brown and Michael Shiakallis.
Emily recently posted a lengthy message that Lauren wrote where she blasted the former couple and accused them of doing Instagram Live videos for clout.
However, Married at First Sight fans think Lauren and Emily are the clout chasers, especially after they promoted a meet and greet scheduled for the end of May.
Critics pointed out that the women are doing the same thing they’ve accused Michael and Chloe of doing, but the duo is clapping back.
The Season 17 wives are less than thrilled that Married at First Sight fans have embraced the former couple, while the ladies in pink continue to get backlash online.

Squid Game — The Challenge has won the Reality category at the BAFTA TV Awards.
The UK-produced Netflix show beat off competition from shows such as Banged Up and Married At First Sight. A competition version of Korean drama Squid Game, it pitted 456 payers against each other in a big to win a massive cash prize.
The challenges ranged from the infamous “Red Light Green Light” from the 2021 drama, in which contestants had to avoid moving while in the eyeline of a horrifying giant doll, to new ones based on children’s games such as Battleship. One player ultimately walked away with $4.56M.
The show comes from The Traitors producer Studio Lambert and The Garden, a rare co-production between two major British unscripted producers from different production groups.

Lifetime officially dropped the trailer for Married at First Sight Season 18. This leaves many fans curious about when the new season is going to officially premiere. So, what do we know so far about the next installment of this long-running franchise?
Married At First Sight: Season 17 In Denver Was The Worst Yet
The upcoming Married at First Sight season, featuring a return to the city of Chicago, will be following up the worst season in the franchise so far. Hands down, viewers and cast members agree that Season 17 is the worst season that the network has produced.
The Married at First Sight franchise is no stranger to doing things like casting people who eventually become the season’s villain. There’s typically at least one of those with every new season. However, the Denver season was a dumpster fire all around.

It’s been a rough couple of months as Married at First Sight fans tried to grin and bear the grueling Season 17, but thankfully, it’s over.
We’re patiently waiting for the new season, which will feature a new batch of singles from Chicago, the hometown of expert Dr. Pia Holec.
The Season 18 trailer aired during Part 2 of the Denver reunion, but something was missing — a premiere date.
We’re hoping for official word from the network so we can start the countdown for the new season.
However, for now, we’ll use deductive reasoning to figure out a possible timeline because what else are we doing?
In the meantime, take another look at the Season 18 trailer to see what you can expect when the show returns.

Cast members from Married At First Sight Season 17 have been revealing a lot about what happened behind the scenes. There is no doubt the latest season of the Lifetime reality TV show was the most disappointing one yet. None of the couples stayed together and everything seemed very staged. Now, one Mafs star has admitted to being recruited for the show. Keep reading to see who it was and what else they revealed about the production.
Mafs Season 17 Was A Huge Disappointment
Season 17 of Married At First Sight was crazy. Many of the couples split up before Decision Day and, if they made it that far, they decided not to stay together anyway.
The one couple who chose to stay married, Austin and Becca, wound up separating less than 24 hours later. Becca confronted Austin about meeting up with one of the members of the production team on Mafs at the bar.

It’s rare for Married at First Sight fans to applaud Emily Balch and her besties on social media, but just this once, they’re getting a pass for doing a good deed.
Becca Haley, Emily Balch, Lauren Good, and Clare Kerr have decided to turn their tragic Mafs experience into something good by donating their wedding dresses to charity.
The gorgeous white garbs didn’t bring any luck to the wearers the first time around because all their marriages ended in divorce.
However, maybe the second time will be the charm for the four lucky women who’ll receive the dresses donated by the Mafs stars.
During the Where Are They Now episode, the ex-wives told their story of donating the dresses.
Emily recently reflected on the moment, sharing snaps of the dresses and shedding light on the charity Wish Upon a Wedding.

Following the worst season in Married at First Sight franchise history, Lifetime is plugging away with spoilers for Season 18. From the looks of it, there could be yet another runaway bride in the upcoming season. So what else can viewers expect?
Married At First Sight Season 17 In Denver Was The Worst In Franchise History
It took all of 17 seasons, but, Married at First Sight viewers and former cast members both agree that the Denver season was the worst yet in franchise history. What started out as a wholesome experiment to truly find love has devolved into cast members faking storylines and duping fans and producers for drama.
After the complete train wreck that the Denver season was, the consensus is that this was the lowest point of the entire franchise, which has been filming seasons since 2014. Many watchers agree that, at the rate things are going, the franchise is on its last legs.

A lot has transpired between the Married at First Sight Season 17 cast since they filmed the show and we saw, at the reunion, how contentious things have become.
In the final episode for the season, the Where Are They Now special we’ll see what the Denver cast have been up to since they filmed the show.
A sneak peek updates Chloe Brown’s life post-show as the brunette beauty confesses she’s no longer in contact with Lauren Good, Emily Balch, Becca Haley, or Clare Kerr.
Chloe opened up about her relationship with the other women while chatting with Emily and Clare’s ex-husbands, Cameron Frazer and Brennan Shoykhet.
Not surprisingly, they are not on speaking terms with the women either after a heated altercation at the reunion.
During their chat, the trio called out the women’s “mean girls behavior” – a sentiment that’s also been expressed by Mafs viewers.

If Gerry and Theresa are the blueprint for love in the Golden Years, then the future looks bleak as hell.
What The Golden Bachelor promised with a premise unlike anything else they have pushed on reality television is a certain theme of "hope."
The concept of The Golden Bachelor meant that in a country and a reality television realm that rarely makes space for people over 50, there was a genuine acknowledgment that love, desire, sex, and romance don't shrivel up and die once you're middle-aged.
People are still vibrant and looking for love and romance, and it can exist and happen.
Hope isn't lost. It's a positive message for middle-aged individuals who are far too accustomed to the notion that they cease to exist as valuable, whole beings.
But it's also inspiring for younger individuals as the narrative continues to shift and fears are assuaged regarding what aging actually means...

The Season 12 star, who gained a successful marriage from the eight-week experiment tuned in much like the rest of us to watch the reunion.
She had one word to summarize the madness in Parts 1 and 2: “circus.”
That’s a fitting description for the show as the women, clad in pink and still angry and bitter over their divorces, faced off against their ex-husbands.
At this point, viewers will never truly know which side is telling the truth because — as was their plan — many things transpired off-camera that we didn’t see.
The men claim they all came together at the beginning of the season and agreed to plot their storylines and deceive the experts, the producers, and the audience.
However, the women claim they were just blindly following their husbands.

Another season of Married at First Sight is on the horizon and we couldn’t be happier to move on from the disastrous Denver season.
They’re bringing the show back to Chicago with a new batch of hopefuls ready to trust the process and have the experts find their perfect match.
That certainly didn’t happen in Season 17, but we’re crossing our fingers that the Chicago cast will reignite our hope in the eight-week marital experiment.
This is not the first time that The Windy City has been the backdrop for the popular lifetime time show, Season 5 was also filmed in Chicago, Illinois.
It aired in 2017, and of the three couples featured that season, one has a successful marriage to show for it.
That’s the season that gave us Ashley Petta and her husband Anthony D’Amico. They have been married for over seven years and have two adorable kids.

Yikes. Married at First Sight’s messy Denver season is drawing to a close, but the anger and animosity between the cast isn’t letting up.
The two-part season 17 reunion featured tears, cheating accusations, and stunning admissions. Cast members revealed that they’d colluded to try to shape the show’s narrative, including deleting diary cams and lying to the experts during counseling sessions. Clare accused her ex, Cameron, of masterminding the whole plan, which he denied. Emily suggested Cameron was faking his heart problem to get out of filming. Brennan finally admitted he wasn’t attracted to Emily because of her drunken, party-girl antics and irresponsible financial behavior. Emily clashed with reunion host Kevin Frazier and stormed off stage during one particularly heated moment. In other words, it was a mess.

When Part 2 of the Married at First Sight reunion plays out you’ll see Brennan Shoykhet and Cameron Frazer in the hot seat.
Earlier in the season, the claims were that Cameron — who had already called it quits with his wife Clare Kerr — wanted to go on a double date with Brennan.
The problem though is that Brennan’s wife Emily Balch was hopeful that their marriage had made a turn for the better.
However, she was dealt a devastating blow in Episode 19 when Clare visited her apartment and told her that Brennan was not a good guy.
“I’ve heard through the grapevine he wanted to go on a double date with Cameron and that he is going on dates,” Clare told a tearful Emily.
Now it’s time for Brennan and Cameron to explain themselves as reunion host Kevin Frazier gets to the bottom of the accusation.

Married at First Sight reunion host Kevin Frazier has been bombarded with questions since the cast made some shocking revelations.
He’s been replying to several of the messages on Instagram, and most recently, he applauded Chloe Brown while responding to a commenter.
Chloe became the show’s Mvp this season, ultimately being the only person who was sincere in her desire to have the experts find her perfect match.
Kevin agreed with that sentiment, telling viewers that he loved Chloe’s attitude and fully believes she signed up for the eight-week experiment because “she wanted a husband.”
That was evident when she chose to stay married to Michael Shiakallis on Decision Day, hoping to see how they would fare in the real world.
Unfortunately, Michael decided — two brides later — that he wasn’t ready for marriage after all.
Mafs fans have changed their tune about Chloe and are showing her support on social media,...

Married At First Sight: Amber Bowles Went Through It With Matt Gwynne
On paper, Amber Bowles and Matt Gwynne seemed like a great match in their Married at First Sight season. Amber Bowles is a huge sports fan, and Matt was a professional basketball player. They even had the physical spark in the beginning, and all seemed like it could go very well for them.
Unfortunately for Amber, Matt turned out to be the season’s villain in Charlotte, North Carolina. Matt even took his ring off to go party, and there was a cheating scandal to boot. It wasn’t a major shocker when these two decided to go their separate ways when Decision Day came around.

Chloe Brown and Michael Shiakallis were our last hope for a successful marriage on Season 17 of Married at First Sight, but sadly we were left disappointed.
At this point, all five couples have called it quits with Chloe and Michael being the last match to end their marriage.
The couple tied the knot later in the season since Michael’s first bride left him jilted at the altar and he got a doover with Chloe.
However, all that effort was wasted–at least according to angry Mafs fans who’ve been blasting Michael on social media.
He was the one who opted to get divorced on Decision Day, claiming he wasn’t ready for marriage, despite convincing the audience and the experts otherwise.
Chloe wanted to stay married and work on their relationship away from the reality TV cameras, but Michael had other plans.

With Michael’s original bride bailing before even participating fully in the experiment, Lifetime had to act fast, bringing a new match into the fold. Chloe Brown arrived, giving Michael another shot at finding love. After what happened to him, many viewers hoped he would give this second chance a solid try.

Emily Balch has some things to get off her chest after her castmates Brennan Shoykhet and Cameron Frazer appeared on Married at First Sight Afterparty.
Emily was admittedly “disgusted” after her ex shared his side of what happened during their short-lived marriage.
The 29-year-old was also angry with Cameron whom she called a mass manipulator when he appeared on the show, the week prior.
Cameron dropped a shocker on the program, revealing that Emily had cheated on Brennan during the eight-week experiment.
She has since responded to those claims and noted that kissing a random Australian dude in a bar is nothing compared to what her husband has done.
Meanwhile, Brennan finally decided to join the Afterparty to speak for himself, but Emily took issues with that.
She noted that her ex had no interest in being on the show until now because he wants to do “damage control.”

That’s because they’re the only couple from Season 17 still married, and honestly, that’s only because they tied the knot much later in the season due to the runaway bride fiasco.

The pair have had a smooth running throughout their marriage, especially compared to the other couples, minus a few hiccups here and there.
