ButSeason 18 delivered a first-of-its-kind scandal, complete with a cheating controversy that left even the experts speechless.
WhileMadisonandDavidwere originally matched withAllenandMichelle, theyended up developing feelings for each otherinstead.
But as the season unfolded, the situation got even messier.

Later, he admitted it was actually meant for a woman he met online.
But Michelle had a gut feeling the real recipient was Madison and she was right.
“And apparently, there was something worth exploring, because theyre still together to this day.

But that raises the fundamental question:What exactly does Madison see in David?
Why Were David and Madison Attracted to Each OtherAnd Not Their Partners?
Given what we know about David and Madison,neither of them seem like particularly great partners.

They were willing to step out of their marriages almost immediately, despite committing toMarried at First Sight process.
The whole premise of the show is trusting that the experts will match you with someone compatible.
But they never seemed to do that, crossing boundaries with each other from the start.
Clearly, theirwillingness to cheat wasnt a red flagfor either of them.
Theirconnection must have been strong from the beginning for them to riskeverything so easily.
She proved to be the worst expert this season.
Madison gavesomeinsight into why she developed feelingsfor David so quickly.
Thats when she starts confessing her feelings.
And that sentiment is probably mutual.
When she puts it like that, its easy to see how their emotional connection formed.
Even if they werentphysicallycheating at first, they weredefinitely having an emotional affair.
“Igot along with everybody here, except my wife, but go ahead.”
Do They Actually Work as a Couple Or Was It Just a Fling?
Itcant be easy to admit you have feelings for amarriedman on national television(when youre married yourself).
Its hard to believe Madison would have put herself in that position if her feelings werent genuine.
Working out together seems to be where they developed their bond.
Theyre even living together.
Were very happy, Madison told host Kevin Frazier.
He makes me feel like the most special person in the world without even trying.
Theres obviously compatibility and chemistry between them.
And if they reallyareendgame,should we still be mad about how they got together?
Staying in a marriage where they werent happy or fully committed wouldnt have been good foranyone.
But given the shows terrible success rate, we didntneeda cheating scandal to prove that.
MaybeMadison and David are the exception.
Even if the experts never thought they would be a good match, they clearly think they are.
