Its premise made it clear that it’s a high risk for things like this though, so it’s not really surprising that the situation got to this point. Hopefully we’re going to see at least one couple making up so that the season can continue in a more interesting way.
But we also wouldn’t be surprised if the producers of the show have some tricks up their sleeves for the remainder of the season. When dealing with such a tricky topic, it makes sense to be prepared to make last-minute changes to the premise in order to please fans.
What those changes could be exactly, we have no idea. We also don’t know what the showrunners intend to do after this season, and if they have a vision for what they want to do beyond it at all.
Even if “Married at First Sight” does end now though, the show at least still had a good run and managed to draw in plenty of people. It was one of the more interesting additions to the collection of reality shows we’ve seen on television, so it might also inspire other similar productions in the near future in case it has to be taken off the air.
But perhaps we’re being too critical of the current situation, and our expectations are too negative. We’ll find out soon enough once the current season is over.
