Emem & Ikechi

Unlikely To Stay Together

AlthoughIkechi and Emem’s relationshipinitially seemed like it could be beautiful, it’s become clear throughout the last stretch of episodes that the couple isn’t on the same page about most things. Emem, who’s a highly driven and goal-oriented woman, has been clear from the start that she’s looking for something serious onMAFS.While Ikechi seemed to have similar goals, especially after applying toMAFStwice prior to this season,his behavior has made it clear he’s not ready for a serious, committed relationship. Ikechi’s difficult attitude and Emem’s eager-to-please behavior haven’t meshed, making them unlikely to stay together.

Madison & Allen

It’s A Toss Up

Although many have beenrooting for Allen throughoutMAFSseason 18, his time with Madison may not be the best for him as he moves into the future. Allen came intoMarried At First Sightready to commit to his marriage, and while Madison said she was, too, it’s become clear that Allen isn’t the best fit for her in her eyes. Consistently bringing up that Allen isn’t her physical type, Madison is putting a lot of value on the physical attraction she feels toward Allen rather than focusing on emotions.It’s still possible Madison & Allen could work things out.

Karla & Juan

Somewhat Likely To Stay Together

ThroughoutMarried At First Sightseason 18, viewers have been confused onwhether Karla and Juan are happy togetheror are simply biding their time until the end of the season. Though Karla is immature at times in a way that appears to rub Juan the wrong way, her emotions are something that he’s clearly been learning to handle throughout the season. Juan, who seems much more reserved than he initially appeared, has been reciprocating Karla’s feelings, but the pair still has something askew about them.It’s still possible that Karla and Juan will choose each otheron Decision Day.

Camille & Thomas

Likely To Stay Together

Camille and Thomas have spent the majority of theMAFSseason genuinely getting to know one another and building a connection. Thecouple have been working hard to ensure that their bond is strong, and though they’ve dealt with some backlashfrom viewers surrounding the way Camille treats Thomas, it’s clear that there’s genuine affection between the pair. Camille and Thomas’ relationship has been sweet to watch, and while there are still some things the couple need to work through, they seem like the most likelyMarried At First Sightseason 18 pair to come out of the season successful.
