Married At First Sight Season 18 Power Rankings (Which Cast Members Have The Best Chance Of Staying Together?)

Married At First Sightseason 18 is moving closer to the end of the season, but after an experiment full of dramatic moments and difficult tension, which couples have the best chance of staying together? Throughout Married At First Sight season 18, viewers have had the opportunity to watch as the five couples matched up the team of experts moved through the experiment with a fair bit of difficulty. While some couples have been able to work through their issues without much fanfare, others have had significant drama from the very beginning and aren’t appearing to improve throughout the season.

As the couples come closer to the end of the experiment, it’s become clear that some are going to make their way through the experience satisfied with the outcome, while others are growing more frustrated by the day. For the Married At First Sight season 18 cast, it’s been difficult to understand what they need to do to move forward together, or if they even want their futures to be aligned. With the MAFS experts having appeared minimally this season, David & Michelle, Camille & Thomas, Emem & Ikechi, Juan & Karla, and Madison & Allen have struggled to keep their marriages afloat without help.

David & Michelle

Least Likely To Stay Together

Although David and Michelle both came into Married At First Sight season 18 with high hopes that they’d be able to make a relationship work, the experiment has been tough on the pair. Michelle, who shared that she was hopeful that she’d be matched with someone who could understand her independence and mirror it, has had problems with David from the very beginning of the experiment. When she discovered that her Married At First Sight groom still lived with his parents, Michelle couldn’t handle the emotions it brought up for her.

While Michelle’s attitude toward David’s living situation and lifestyle has been tough for viewers to watch, there’s been a sinister feeling coming from David throughout the season. Though he’s tried to preach positivity throughout MAFS season 18, David’s been harboring some strange habits and seems to be hiding something from Michelle and the MAFS audience. David and Michelle simply don’t mesh, and they’re the least likely couple to stay together come Decision Day.

Emem & Ikechi

Unlikely To Stay Together

Although Ikechi and Emem’s relationship initially seemed like it could be beautiful, it’s become clear throughout the last stretch of episodes that the couple isn’t on the same page about most things. Emem, who’s a highly driven and goal-oriented woman, has been clear from the start that she’s looking for something serious on MAFS. While Ikechi seemed to have similar goals, especially after applying to MAFS twice prior to this season, his behavior has made it clear he’s not ready for a serious, committed relationship. Ikechi’s difficult attitude and Emem’s eager-to-please behavior haven’t meshed, making them unlikely to stay together.

Madison & Allen

It’s A Toss Up

Although many have been rooting for Allen throughout MAFS season 18, his time with Madison may not be the best for him as he moves into the future. Allen came into Married At First Sight ready to commit to his marriage, and while Madison said she was, too, it’s become clear that Allen isn’t the best fit for her in her eyes. Consistently bringing up that Allen isn’t her physical type, Madison is putting a lot of value on the physical attraction she feels toward Allen rather than focusing on emotions. It’s still possible Madison & Allen could work things out.

Karla & Juan

Somewhat Likely To Stay Together

Throughout Married At First Sight season 18, viewers have been confused on whether Karla and Juan are happy together or are simply biding their time until the end of the season. Though Karla is immature at times in a way that appears to rub Juan the wrong way, her emotions are something that he’s clearly been learning to handle throughout the season. Juan, who seems much more reserved than he initially appeared, has been reciprocating Karla’s feelings, but the pair still has something askew about them. It’s still possible that Karla and Juan will choose each other on Decision Day.

Camille & Thomas

Likely To Stay Together

Camille and Thomas have spent the majority of the MAFSseason genuinely getting to know one another and building a connection. The couple have been working hard to ensure that their bond is strong, and though they’ve dealt with some backlash from viewers surrounding the way Camille treats Thomas, it’s clear that there’s genuine affection between the pair. Camille and Thomas’ relationship has been sweet to watch, and while there are still some things the couple need to work through, they seem like the most likely Married At First Sight season 18 pair to come out of the season successful.

Married At First Sight airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. EST on Lifetime.
