‘Married At First Sight’ (MAFS) Season 17 kicked off with a bang as Emily Balch and Brennan Shoykhet led the way to the altar. As the first couple to tie the knot this season, they set the stage for a series of fascinating episodes. However, as the latest episodes reveal, their path seems to be sprinkled with both humorous and cringeworthy moments.
Married At First Sight: Revelations at the Wedding Dinner
The wedding dinner was a stage for unexpected revelations, as Emily shared tales from her bachelorette party. The bride’s adventurous spirit was unveiled as she recounted inviting strippers and enjoying shots off them throughout the night. Brennan, on the other hand, seemed taken aback yet tried to digest the antics of his new bride. His reaction was a mix of astonishment and curiosity as he inquired, “Belly shots off them?”, to which Emily candidly admitted.
Their contrasting personalities were further highlighted in Brennan’s confessional where he acknowledged being more reserved compared to Emily, the self-proclaimed life of the party. He appreciated Emily’s open nature, recognizing it as a potential foundation for building trust and understanding in their newfound relationship.
Married At First Sight: Red Flags or Mere Predictions?
The couple’s dynamics didn’t go unnoticed by the viewers, who took to social media to express their predictions. The majority pointed out the stark differences in their lifestyles and expectations from marriage. Instagram was ablaze with comments comparing Emily to a “party girl” archetype, while Brennan was perceived as being earnest about the marriage.

One user compared Emily to Virginia of the previous season, predicting a rocky road ahead for the duo, especially post-honeymoon. Others were more critical, suggesting that Emily sought a wedding, not a marriage, foreseeing a “train wreck” in the making.
Emily’s Dating Past: A Glimpse into the Uncharted Territory
The plot thickened when Emily’s friends revealed her lackluster history in serious relationships, shedding light on why she might have opted for a marriage with Brennan. Emily, too, opened up about her past dating misadventures, highlighting a pattern of being ghosted post the third date.
Moreover, a surprising twist was unveiled when Emily confessed to having seen Brennan before the wedding, contrary to the show’s premise. A glimpse of Brennan’s photo sent by a friend had her anxious, yet the actual face-to-face meeting at the altar left her excited for what lay ahead.
As Emily and Brennan continue to explore their compatibility, ‘Married At First Sight’ Season 17 promises a roller-coaster of emotions and discoveries. The show airs every Wednesday at 8 pm ET on Lifetime, offering a weekly dose of romantic reality TV.
