‘Married at First Sight’: Get to Know the Season 17 Cast (PHOTOS)
Married at First Sight is gearing up for a wild ride at Lifetime as the network unveils the five couples at the center of the Denver, Colorado-set Season 17.
Kicking off Wednesday, October 18, ten singles are embarking on the social experiment of getting matched with a partner and married upon meeting their future spouse. But this season is particularly interesting because, for the first time ever, a groom is left at the altar!
The 8-week process will see most pairs go through with marriage, travel to their honeymoons, and move in together as husband and wife. Following that experience, they’ll be pushed to decide if they want to stay married or get divorced and go their separate ways. Helping guide the couples on this journey will be experts Dr. Pepper Schwartz, Pastor Cal Roberson, and new full-time expert Dr. Pia Holec.
Along with the show’s official premiere, there is plenty of additional content to look out for including new episodes of Married at First Sight: Afterparty hosted by Keshia Knight Pulliam who will get the inside scoop from the cast directly. The season also introduces the Polling Party, a new interactive fan experience where viewers can vote in a show-related poll question each episode. Results will be featured in the specials, and then during Afterparty each week.
Below, we’re unveiling the four and a half couples featured in Season 17 ahead of the premiere. Scroll down for a peek at their wedding photos, and stay tuned for more details

Lauren has handled herself with such grace, maturity, integrity, and honesty. She did not fail the marriage, her partner, or herself. She is an example of what every man should expect from a wife. Hold your head high and wait for a man who is worthy of YOU because Orion was definitely not!!! He should be ashamed and embarrassed for the way he treated you and handled himself and this is coming from an INDIGENOUS WOMAN

So cruel what happened to Michael and the fact the therapists allowed it didn’t predict it and didn’t support him. These are people and this season was cruel - and it too bad they care about ratings over people.

TRUE. Someone should have told him to put the crown down. I think that was the tipping point. He needed to ease her into his unique fashion sense. He could have even popped it on at the reception. It was just too much.

Could Austin be a virgin? He almost seems afraid to get physical with Becca.

Agree! And so sad that they kept playing it over and over again in the trailers/etc. Terrible that it happened, but can't help but think he dodged a bullet. If she had stayed, it probably wouldn't have ended well and he can hold his head up proudly for how he handled himself. Classy guy!

I think the entire program is going downhill majorly. It’s easy to see what some of these people have or don’t have going on.
Way too much talk on their parts about the future. They need to get out and have fun, get to know each other before they start judging their situation.
Who knows what the future holds.They seem to think they do.

How could Orion be so upset when he is the one who brought up the "Redskin" comment, Lauren just commented on it AFTER he said the word, she didn't. She did not realize what she was doing, as a black woman I'm sure she has had plenty of racial slurs thrown her way. Orion did NOT give her any grace and should go back and watch what he did!!
I thought he was a really cool guy, but his emotions are out of control, to get angry with her for something he brought up!

Seriously....It's a crown for heaven's sake. Get to know the human before she judges him. They agreed to sign up for that journey. She's superficial. She's there because nothing else was working for her. Could've been an awesome journey. So sad for him.

The crown was a gift from her.

The women just put all women back 100 years. Blaming all of the men for manipulating and overpowering them. Making women look like mindless individuals incapable of having their own thoughts. Buck up and take ownership of the mistakes that you made and move the hell on. I'm infuriated for the reputation as a woman that they are giving us.

Could not stand Emily, think she thinks she all it, same with Lauren…glad guys ran

Shouldn’t have aired him being rejected. Hope he got a lot more money for that insulting exhibition.
-
O
She gave that to him, that’s why he put it on.
