Married at First Sight Season 20 unveils a new era of epic matchmaking
In the first look at Married at First Sight Season 20, it's clear that these Seattle singles will be embarking on a journey unlike ever before as they meet their matches on their wedding day in hopes of cementing a forever bond.
"I'm ready for my husband, I'm so ready," one participant says excitedly amid clips of the couples preparing to walk down the aisle. Another single admits, "The kind of guys I've picked are not the right ones, maybe I'm the problem," setting the tone for some long-awaited matchmaking. Lucky for these unlucky-in-love folks, new experts Brunson and Dr. Paz are here to save the day.
Marrying a stranger isn't so simple as these couples learn quite quickly what irks them about their new partner. As one participant eloquently puts it: "This could be the start of a very successful marriage, or maybe not."
While some couples seem to fall right into a romantic groove, other newlyweds will experience some turbulence in their honeymoon phase. While physical incompatibilities challenge some couples, others struggle to open up to their new partners. From husbands being forced to sleep on the couch to teary-eyed confessions during group therapy sessions, the new Married at First Sight experts will have plenty of work to do. As always, it all comes down to Decision Day, when the couples choose whether they'd like to remain married or call it quits.
"This could be one of the worst days of my life, or literally one of the best days of my life," a Season 20 participant says at the end of the trailer, promising plenty of surprises throughout an action-packed new season.
