I have an issue with howMarried at First Sightselects its mould members , as I do n’t believe their method should be the norm . splice at First Sightseason 18ended in March 2025 , and it was the most spectacular season yet due to scandals , divorces , and post - time of year show - down . The time of year was arrange apart due to a cheat and twain trade situation that chance betweenMadison Myers and David Trimble , who left their original spouses , Allen Slovick and Michelle Tomblin , to pursue a family relationship with one another . The duad were then rewarded with line time .
Regardless of the pitfalls of season 18 , I am notice that 2025 is proving to be a big class for theMarried at First Sightfranchise . MAFShas always been a Lifetime web show , but it has been taken over by Peacock , andMAFSseason 19is being produced and delivered on the new web . While I see this change as positive , it does n’t detract me from the notion thatMAFShas its casting scheme all improper , leading to several core issues happening in the show . I also do n’t think their cast approach should be the average go forward .
MAFS Production Has Notoriously Made Poor Casting Choices
Clout Chasers, Unavailable People
I seeMAFS ' pathetic casting scheme coming across in the caliber of hoi polloi they ultimately showcase during the seasons . MAFSpremiered in 2014 , and it originally spotlight the marrying a strange journey of three couples . In season 8 and 9 , four couples were followed , and since time of year 10 , five couples get married on the show . Now thatMAFScasts ten people per season , I consider the caliber of participants has pass downhill .
InMAFSseason 12 , Chris Williams ' raw and doubtful conduct towards his wife , Paige Banks , solidified him as a top historic villain , as his personality cherry-red flag should have been noticed before his casting . InMAFSseason 14 in Boston , Alyssa Ellman reckon the experts were go to find her exactly who she ask for , andhad no aim of compromising on anything , lead her to slander the show and expert , as she take to be"robbed"of the experience .
time of year 15 ’s Alexis Williams was vocal about being a"track star,“who ran from an engagement and relationship before . Season 16 ’s 25 - twelvemonth - honest-to-god Domynique Kloss attest that she was an"old soul"ready for marriage , but her behaviour and early divorce calling leave me to believe otherwise . Season 17 in Denver ’s whole dramatis personae shocked me the most , as not only was there was the first - ever runaway Brigid , but the victim bridegroom , Michael Shiakallis , was rematched to Chloe Brown only to tell her he was n’t ready for marriage ceremony come decision sidereal day .

Season 17 also had an attempted group dupein which the original couples colluded together to depict themselves positively on tv camera to get unspoiled edits at the expense of authenticity and the sanctitude of their raw marriages . All of these poor casting example have solidified to me that there is an inherent problem withMAFS ' vomit up approach . away from emotionally unavailable and unintelligent roll members get to it into the time of year , participants with clout chasing intentions have also been a pitfall .
MAFS Production Recruits People
Through Dating Apps & Instagram
Where I ’m finding the major flaw inMarried at First Sight ’s mold tactic , is that their telephone number one method for choosing participants seems to lie with their penchant for scouting and recruiting masses . tie at First Sightproduction abrade dating apps and Instagram pages for exclusive people in the metropolis they visiteach season , with the intention of co - prefer them for the show . Once likely people are identify , production stress to convert them to go for for the show . If they burn , they are ask to do the prolonged online app .
If they make it past that , then they are interview by yield and the experts both in a indifferent scope and at their homes . I do n’t see recruiting people from on-line resources as a positive strategy for finding people for the show . I read that production can get a horse sense of someone ’s telegenic quality through their online front , but I think it ’s a tough way of securing cast fellow member .
Not only could these masses be hiding their current relationships from their pages , but there is also not enough personal information given to ascertain whether the person is emotionally quick for man and wife .

By scouting people , the constituent of check multitude are marriage ceremony - character and serious about the appendage is murky . I think it provide room for the person scouted to jump at the chance to potentially appear on video and for them to tailor their character , since they know production want to throw up them .
Reality TV Cast Recruitment Hasn’t Worked On Other Shows
Love Is Blind, Too Hot To Handle Are Examples
I recognise that inscribe citizenry from societal media and see apps is a normal practice in the world TV world , butit ’s not working forMarried at First Sight , andit has n’t worked for other shows . sexual love Is Blindnotoriously casts clout pursuer and multitude who have no business enterprise being in serious relationship due to their personality and maturity fault , and it ’s led to mistrust from TV audience about who is appearing on the show . Too Hot To Handlealso has a wretched success rate at make water matches , and that ’s underscored by the agency they get hoi polloi for the show .
Reality TV is more popular than ever . With so many to choose from , here are some of the good reality TV establish to rain cats and dogs or watch decent now .
There Are Better Ways For MAFS Production To Cast People
Nominations & Applications
It ’s not lost on me that viable constitutional applicant are hard to come by in each city thatMarried at First Sightvisits . However , I do n’t recall production is trying hard enough in that aspect . But with the chopine switch , Peacock should be able-bodied to capture a wider applicant poolsince it ’s a major connection . Moreover , Married at First Sightshould take off introducing nominations , much like ABC’sGoldenfranchise , where folk , ally , and co - workers can name their eff one . I believe recruiting should be a last refuge for the show , as there are better methods to bring strong plaster cast members .
