A more mature cast might be expected to bring a more measured response to proceedings but not a bit of it. There might be many slips on the way to the happily ever after but for two couples this season that will involve a change of partner during the show and the experts having to earn their money as chaos ensues.
Episode 5, "A Beach of a Honeymoon" saw the newlyweds jet off to the Mexican Riviera for an all expense paid honeymoon. While four of our couples seemed to blissfully get to know one another better at the luxury resort, for one couple, there's already trouble in paradise.
"Married at First Sight: Afterparty", hosted by Keshia Knight Pulliam, follows each episode at 10 p.m. ET to get the inside track from the participants themselves and special guests. Super-fans may also want to consider binging on MAFS Australia and MAFS UK (2024).
