Married At First Sight Season 18’s Couples Swap Explained
Which Couples Are More Obvious To Swap?
@mafslifetime,Married at First Sight’s official Instagram page, officially introduced fans to the five couples, but gave a premise in the caption alluding to the couples swap.
“Introducing the couples of #MarriedAtFirstSight Season 18…or are they?”
After getting to know the participants in the first few episodes, viewers have come to know their non-negotiables, cultural backgrounds, physical appearance preferences, and hopes for the future. That said,there are a few couples who stand out as being incompatiblewith one another, but maybe not incompatible with another person on the show.
According to a spoiler from @mafsfan that was discussed byu/glimmerskieson Reddit, there is an idea about who will be involved in the swap. Michelle and David already have tension due to Michelle having disdain for David living with his parents. Madison, and her family, have made it clear that Allen is not Madison’s type. The spoiler denotes that these pairs will be involved in the couples' swap, asAllen has been seen liking and commenting fire emoji’s on Michelle’s posts. At this moment, these pairs seem the most likely to be part of the swap.

The MAFS Season 18 Cast Will Develop Animosity
In A Different Way Than MAFS Season 17’s Cast
@mafsfanshared the first trailer for season 18, which depicteda lot of harsh words being thrown around by different cast members.Karla could be heard saying,“This is like dirty,“although it’s unclear what situation she’s referring to, but the swap or the cheating scandals are likely candidates. Michelle can be heard saying,“Married people don’t sext other women,“while Emem says in another scene,“I wish you nothing but the worst.“Allen also comments,“What we have right here is a situation.”
Each of these fiery sentiments could mean that there is cast animosity.
Since the pairs spend so much time together throughout the process, and since the nature of the scandals is dubious, there could very well be shots fired among the cast.
MAFSseason 17 had animosity between one another, but that was due to their failed group dupe creating tension between the couples and each other. Season 18’s drama has more layers.

Married at First Sightseason 18 has piqued viewers' attention, as evidenced by Reddit thread speculation and spoiler alerts, so the engagement is there.
