Married at First Sight has been an absolute disappointment this season, but the recent Decision Day episode was surprisingly entertaining.
While we knew the couples would opt to end their marriages since most had already failed, we also learned some new information.
Some of the Season 17 wives have teased things that happened behind the scenes that viewers don’t get to see, and we got a taste of that in the recent episode.
All eyes were on Becca Haley and Austin Reed since they were the only couple still clinging to their rocky marriage when Decision Day rolled around.
The couple battled intimacy issues throughout their relationship, as Austin refused to consummate his marriage, much to Becca’s disappointment.
After tirelessly begging for more intimacy, she started to doubt his claims of wanting to fix their issues, noting that when the cameras were off, there was no effort on his part.
Surprisingly, Becca decided to give their marriage a fighting chance without the pressure of filming, but hours later, something changed drastically.
When the entire group gathered after Decision Day, Becca confronted her husband about spending a night out with one of the show’s female producers and a few other friends.
MAFS fans slam Austin for inappropriate relationship with show producer
Austin claimed he was blindsided when Becca confronted him about the late-night run-in with a show producer, but MAFS fans are not siding with him.
“He said HE was blindsided!!! After she catches him spending time with the producer and he is blindsided🤔🤨😮💨😑,” wrote a commenter.
“There was something with this producer from before. 💁🏾 she may be why he lost interest in her. That and all that crying,” reasoned someone else.
One commenter said, “Austin flat-out lied! He lied! She asked him if he was with a producer, and he said no. Then he backtracked and said they just ran into her. I’m sure he’s been lying all along.”
Another person added, “The producer should not be ‘hanging out’ with a married cast member. There should be consequences for that.”
MAFS Season 17 is not over yet
The season is winding down to a close, but a few more episodes remain to play out before we officially bid goodbye to the Denver cast.
Along with Becca and Austin, we heard the final decisions of Clare Kerr and Cameron Frazer and Emily Balch and Brennan Shoykhet, who all opted to end their marriage.
Lauren Good and Orion Martzloff were not a part of the Decision Day episode as their marriage ended early on in the season, and they had already decided to get a divorce.
We also didn’t see Chloe Brown and Michael Shiakallis since they had a late start in the game. Their Decision Day episode will air at a later date.
Meanwhile, Episode 21, titled Climbing Down from Decision Day, will air on March 13, followed by Episode 22, Doubts, Dilemmas, and Drag, which will air on March 20.
Married at First Sight airs Wednesdays at 8/7c on Lifetime.
The home wrecking producer should be FIRED NEVER TO RETURN. Becca ALMOST had a chance at their marriage but this tacky person ruined it. Why would they allow someone like her to produce a show like married if she’s got hot pants for married men?? FIRE HER AND RUIN HER REPUTATION IN THE BUSINESS!! I’m not watching another season if they allow twits like her running the show!!
If a man I gonna cheat, hes gonna cheat. If it wasn’t the producer, it would or will be someone else. She’s better off without him.
I don’t blame the producer. If somebody is going to cheat they will cheat. Being married means saying “no” to all the constant temptations every day no matter what they are. He failed, it’s all on him. Honor your vows or dishonor yourself.
YEARS AGO ONE OF THE THERAPIST HAD AN AFFAIR WITH A GROOM….I LIKE AUSTIN..NONE OF THESE MATCHES THIS YEAR WERE GOOD
You seem to be putting all the blame on the woman…….we all know, if a man is going to cheat, that’s on him! Do I think it was appropriate for a Producer to be hanging out the the cast of men, probably not, and do I think there should be consequences for her actions, yes I believe so, but to put all the blame on her, is just wrong……
I agree with statements made regarding the producer of the show who has exhibited poor judgement & complete lack of morals . Aside from that , my impression of Austin is that he is manipulative & controlling & the more Becca pushed to be intimate , the more it fueled him to withhold it intentionally & knowing full well that he was inflicting enormous emotional anguish on her & causing her to feel mentally ill . Everytime she questioned his true intentions towards her , he manipulated her with his actions & words into believing she was making something out of nothing & leaving her to doubt her own sanity .
IT’S ALL FOR RATINGS
Although a man is going to cheat if he wants to, no matter what, the producer of the show should have known better. The show is based on marriage for God’s sake. It’s like a conflict of interest. The show is supposed to be about putting marriages together and making them work. With that being said, I agree that she should be fired. Having someone like that as a part of the show could jeopardize business. Let her cheat outside of the show. That’s if it was more than just hanging out. Though, she should not be hanging out with the husbands anyway.
Becca is homely, I don’t blame him for not wanting to do her. 🤮
I think the show was better before the newlyweds honeymooned together. It has become too much gossiping and tattling comparing notes about each. This season the worse. On the after show Emily and Loran confronted the husbands. Too much drama.
Clare was unhappy in her marriage and she went about seeing if see could ruin the other marriages. Instead of helping she got them to fight instead.
Yes and I think she is manipulating all of them
I would love to see a photo of said producer. I listened/watched attentively this week and still don’t know who or what to believe about this group conspiracy thing!! Does anyone have clarity on this subject. I do have suspicions about the creator of the underlying drama and I believe it’s a female.
