Married At First Sight Season 18’s Villains, Ranked (I’m Shocked By How Many There Were This Season)

Married At First Sightseason 18 finally came to an end, and with the reunion on the horizon there’s finally clarity on who should take the role of the most villainous cast member of the Chicago season. Throughout Married At First Sight season 18, there were several storylines that ultimately felt more villainous and dramatic than others. While some were here for the drama, others were looking for genuine connections between the cast members, which were more difficult to spot during the current season. With so many differences, the season’s personalities were often a bit difficult to keep track of.

Throughout Married At First Sight, the cast was pushed to the limits of their emotional bandwidth. Though many were looking for love and hopeful that they’d meet their matches, Married At First Sight season 18’s cast consisted of some who were genuinely looking for love, and some who were looking for the experience of the series. While not necessarily believing in the MAFS process, some of the cast members were inherently villainous even if their intention was to find love and happiness on the show. Though some villains were agreed upon by viewers, others may be somewhat of a surprise.

Camille Parsons

Least Villainous

While Married At First Sight season 18’s Camille Parsons wasn’t someone that most viewers would consider villainous, she made this list for a few reasons. Her time on MAFS wound up putting her into a marriage with Thomas McDonald that felt right from the beginning of the season, but Camille’s personality rubbed many the wrong way. While it was clear she loved Thomas quickly, Camille’s need to change him seemed like a major red flag in their relationship.

Though some felt it was strange that Camille was looking for her husband to have more “swag” in the way he approached her, Camille was happy to tell Thomas what she wanted from a partner. The couple’s healthy communication made Camille’s hopes for change less of a demand and more of a suggestion. While I think Camille had the lowest level of villainy of all the villains this season, she does make the list for her overall perception.

Michelle Tomblin

Pushed To Be Villainous

Although some probably believe that Michelle Tomblin should be at the top of this list, hear me out for a second. Yes, Michelle was difficult to deal with throughout a lot of MAFS season 18. Her reactions to David Trimble living with his parents were over-dramatic and unnecessary at times, and the fact that she continued to cut David down throughout their marriage wasn’t the best look. That being said, it was clear that Michelle’s behavior was spurred on by the fact that her MAFS husband was keeping secrets from her for nearly the entirety of their marriage.

Michelle was often pushed to be villainous because she knew something was wrong with her relationship, but her MAFS husband was acting like everything was okay. When it came out that Michelle hadn’t been clearly upset for nothing, MAFS audiences still struggled with her behavior. Michelle had a tough series of moments, but was mostly pushed to her breaking point to be villainous.

Ikechi Ojoré

Knowingly Villainous

Ikechi was villainous from the beginning of Married At First Sightseason 18, quickly knowing that he wasn’t interested in Emem Obot, but making that her problem. Throughout the season, Ikechi consistently tried to ruin Emem’s reputation, making her out to be aggressive or angry when she was trying to work through their relationship. I think Ikechi’s brand of villainy was underhanded, which made it a lot worse than Michelle or Camille’s, but his behavior only hurt Emem. Though that’s not okay, his behavior only impacting one person ranks him lower than others.

Madison Myers

Unintentionally Villainous

MAFS season 18’s cheating scandal was teased throughout the season, and though many wondered if the cheating had gone down early on, it didn’t get revealed until late in the season. When it was revealed that Madison Myers had been cheating on her MAFS husband Allen Slovick with Michelle’s husband David, it became clear that she was one of the biggest villains of the season. Madison made the decision to get into a secondary relationship with another MAFS cast member, which makes her inherently villainous even if she doesn’t think she did anything wrong.

David Trimble

Terrifyingly Villainous

While this might be controversial, I think David is the most villainous Married At First Sightseason 18 cast member. I think most would agree that David spent the entire season trying to share how good of a guy he is. Whether viewers agree with David’s self-assessment or not, he did try to convince everyone that he was a good person while, behind the curtain, he was knowingly cheating on his MAFS spouse. While there is an argument for David not getting what he needed for Michelle, the fact that David hasn’t taken any accountability makes him more deceptive.
