Married At First Sight season 18 will produce a successful match, there are red flags coming from some of the participants in the experiment, leaving viewers without much hope about the season’s outcome. Despite fans having hoped for the Married At First Sight experts to vet participants more thoroughly, it appears some red flags have slipped through the cracks.

A Married At First Sight season 18 cast member is allegedly lying about his appearances, according to viewers on Reddit.

According to viewers on Reddit, one Married At First Sight season 18 participant is allegedly lying about his appearances on the show, likely to save face and make himself look like less of a clout chaser. Ikechi, who’s paired up with Emem, has been a part of three separate Married At First Sight seasons, not just the two he’s itted to. While viewers knew he auditioned for the current season and MAFS season 9, he was also in the mix for Married At First Sight season 12. Mammoth-Space8904 on Reddit shared, “You’ve been on the show THREE times now?”

What Ikechi’s Repeated Appearances On Married At First Sight Mean

He Could Be Chasing Clout Or Hopeful About The Experience

Although Ikechi has shared that he’s hopeful about the Married At First Sight process, it’s clear that he’s been looking to become part of the show for years, which is off-putting for some viewers. Though Ikechi has finally become part of the Married At First Sight family for the current season, getting matched up with Emem has been a years-long process in the making. After trying out for Married At First Sight season 9, which filmed in Charlotte, North Carolina, Ikechi went on to apply for MAFS season 12, which filmed in Atlanta, Georgia, before winding up in Chicago.

Ikechi’s repeated appearances on MAFS could mean many things, but they signal that he’s been desperate to be a part of the series regardless of where that takes him. Fans found it jarring that Ikechi felt comfortable trying out in such different places, knowing that one of the things about MAFS is that the participants typically live in the featured city, which is where their home base is. With Ikechi so willing to move around to be part of the show, it raises some red flags about whether he’s sincerely interested in making a long-lasting match.

While Ikechi’s been one of the Married At First Sight season 18 cast that viewers have been concerned about the most, the perception may be worse than his actual reasoning for repeatedly trying out. Though Ikechi could be chasing clout, it’s possible that he just wanted to try the Married At First Sight experience so much that he was willing to move around for it. Regardless, Ikechi is someone that Married At First Sight season 18 viewers should keep an eye on as the show moves forward, watching for any other emerging red flags.
