The three remaining couples have made their final decisions with the experts, but things are still heating up between Chloe Brown and Michael Shiakallis. They were only married a few episodes before Decision Day. Lauren Goodger & Orion Martzloff decided to end their marriage early, while Becca Haley & Austin Reed, Emily Balch & Brennan Shoykhet, and Clare Kerr & Cameron Frazer made their choices in the latest episode.

Clare & Cameron and Emily & Brennan chose to separate on Decision Day, while Austin & Becca decided to stay married. But challenges still lie ahead for the MAFS cast.

After the intense events of Decision Day, only two couples remained together on Married At First Sight season 17. Michael & Chloe and Becca & Austin were the only pairs still committed to making their marriages work. Clare & Cameron, who seemed to have a strong bond at the beginning, unfortunately saw their relationship fall apart within the first month. Clare felt that they were more like friends than a married couple, despite Cameron's efforts to reconcile during Decision Day. Emily & Brennan, on the other hand, managed to stay together until Decision Day, but ultimately decided to end their tumultuous marriage marked by dishonesty and challenges from both sides. Lastly, Lauren & Orion chose to part ways shortly after tying the knot.

After being jilted at the altar, Michael was given a second chance at finding love on Married At First Sight when he was paired with Chloe later in the season. The experts had doubts about finding a match for him again, considering the emotional aftermath of being left at the altar. However, after speaking with Michael, they discovered that he was open to the possibility of marriage once more. According to Dr. Pepper Schwartz, an expert on Married At First Sight season 17, Michael also shared how his priorities in a relationship had evolved.
To give Michael another shot at finding love, the experts took a closer look at Chloe, who had initially been considered as a potential match for him. While their initial assessments were not as strong as Michael's previous match, his changed priorities aligned better with Chloe, making them a more compatible couple. Although they have been married for a short period of time, Michael and Chloe are doing well. However, they still need more time to learn about each other and their relationship before deciding whether to stay together or get a divorce on Married At First Sight season 17.
