Married At First Sight Fans Speculate About "Historic" Cheating Scandal Being Underwhelming Amid Major Series Shakeup
Married At First Sightfans are speculating about the so-called historic cheating scandal of the season potentially being a completely underwhelming reveal after a major shakeup was announced for the series moving forward. Throughout Married At First Sight season 18, viewers have had the understanding that the season would feature a cheating scandal at some point, which would lead to an eventual couple swap. The MAFS season 18 cast has been tight-lipped, but many have been speculating about the cheating scandal as the season’s slowly coming to a close. Many are wondering if it will be as exciting as promised.
In a recent Reddit post, Married At First Sight viewers discussed the idea that the cheating scandal of the season might be underwhelming after being hyped up so much throughout the season. As some viewers have already assumed they know who will be involved, u/toughdude76explained, “I predict that this whole thing will end with a whimper with us finding out Madison and David sent each other flirty texts.” Other viewers agreed, with u/custardsad4722 sharing, “I agree that may very well be the case.” While many hope for more, they’re expecting the bare minimum from MAFS season 18.
What MAFS Fans' Speculation About The Cheating Scandal Being Underwhelming Means
They’re Not Expecting Much From MAFS After Being Duped Before
Although Married At First Sight fans are speculating about the cheating scandal being underwhelming, this is sometimes par for the course for those who watch the show. After years of experiencing some difficult blows from MAFS overpromising drama and underdelivering, viewers have been trying to temper their expectations about the show. Married At First Sight season 18’s Dr. Pia Holec, the expert to speak up about the scandal during the pre-season, hasn’t been someone MAFS viewers have trusted in the past, regardless of how successful she’s been on the show. After sharing more about the scandal, fans grew skeptical.
As Married At First Sight has continued, viewers have been struggling to see how the cheating scandal will be as dramatic as the series says, if it’s even dramatic at all. After peppering hints throughout the season, some MAFS viewers feel they have the entirety of the scandal figured out, which will make things particularly unexciting as the series continues on. With the season coming to a close soon,MAFS viewers will finally get the chance to see what the experts and cast have been referring to, but it could be too little, too late to evoke actual excitement.
Our Take On The MAFS Cheating Scandal's Potential Drama
It Will Likely Be More Underwhelming Than Overwhelming
Although Married At First Sight viewers have been struggling with the show’s level of drama in comparison to the actual issues the couples on the series face, many have been curious about the MAFS cheating scandal. With so many of the couples this season struggling, it initially felt like it could be a very dramatic moment for the series. Now, with so many clues to the identities of the cheaters, it appears that the Married At First Sight scandal won’t be all that scandalous, bordering on underwhelming for the long-running series that prides itself on heavy drama.
Married At First Sight airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. EST on Lifetime.
