I’m Certain Emem Obot Is Part Of A Married At First Sight Scandal (& I’m Positive About The Surprising Person She Ends Up With)

Based on Emem Obot’s circumstances in Married at First Sight season 18 so far, I’m certain she is involved a scandal with the surprising person she will end up with. I saw Married at First Sight season 18 promise two scandals in the beginning of the season; a couples swap and a cheating scandal. Neither has taken place yet, but a lot of events have been set in motion so far that are leading up to the two dramatic occurrences. Emem married Ikechi Ojoré at the altar after meeting him there as a stranger.

Emem and Ikechi are joined in season 18 by four other couples, Madison Myers and Allen Slovick, Karla Juarez and Juan Franco, Camille Parsons and Thomas, and Michelle Tomblin and David Trimble. Early on, I watched Michelle and David be the couple swimming in the most troubled waters, but as the season has gone on, I’ve found it wild that all the couples are facing issues that could end their marriages. What’s even crazier to me, is that I’m pegging Emem to be the cast member coming into the most drama.

Emem & Ikechi Split In MAFS Season 18

Emem & Ikechi Had A Showdown

Lifetime‘s Ikechi and Emem started off their marriage on good footing, as they were both attracted to one another and curious about each other. They found they aligned on life goals, and had an easy time sharing conversation. Where things took a turn was when they arrived back in Chicago after their Mexico honeymoon. I noticed Ikechi was off-put by Emem’s directness and penchant for asking questions. Ikechi wanted Emem to get to know him more organically and through quality time.

This led to further friction and resentment on Ikechi’s part. He called Emem “aggressive” on several occasions, including to her friends, and he called her an “a*****e” on their one-month anniversary. He also claimed Emem made unwanted sexual advances that turned him off. Ikechi packed up and left after the “a*****e” sentiment and did not return Emem’s calls or texts to work things out. Ikechi surprisingly appeared at the couple’s one-month anniversary group dinner, where he further accused Emem of wrongdoing.

“I have no peace in my home.” Ikechi went on to state, “My wife makes me feel like s**t.

The fiery claims incited Emem, who called Ikechi a “clown,” and remarked that Ikechi wasn’t willing to do the work to be a part of the marriage. She also expressed her hurt. Ikechi packed up his final items and left their shared apartment, as he ended things with Emem. In the latest episode, I was surprised to see Ikechi and Emem both be willing to work things out with the guidance of the experts. They agreed to give each other grace, and try to give each other what they needed in order to understand each other and move on in the marriage.

While I acknowledge that Emem and Ikechi are poised to give their marriage another shot, I don’t think it will work for long at all. I find Ikechi to be defiant, hostile, and insulting, with no genuine intention of meeting Emem in the middle.

Clues Emem Is Part Of A MAFS Scandal

Emem’s Instagram Bio Reveals Something

What leads me to believe that Emem is at the center of one of the scandals is what’s written in her Instagram bio. Emem says she is a “wife,” denoting that she comes out of the MAFS experience with a husband — and I don’t think it’s Ikechi. While I don’t believe Emem has the nature to be a cheater, I do think she is capable of being part of the couples swap. And I believe the couples swap will entail two cast members from different relationships getting together, while their partners go on single.

My opinion is shared with other MAFS fans, and so is my belief that the person Emem ends up with is Allen. A Reddit thread shared by u/Stargazerlily425 had my same notion about who gets together, just not in the same jest.

“I know it’s not likely but I’m kind of rooting for Allen and Emem being the ones that cheat. at this point. THey could be happy, nmature and successful together.”

Does Emem End Up With Allen?

A Part Of The MAFS Trailer Was Telling

My reasoning for Emem being part of the couples swap with Allen is based on what I’ve seen in the MAFS trailers. One clip shows Allen and Emem engaging in a heartfelt hug, with editing alluding to more coming from it.

Married at First Sight‘s Emem and Allen would make a strong couple, and if both their spouses end the marriages, their swap would not be considered cheating, saving their reputations.

Married At First Sight airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. EST on Lifetime.
