Married At First Sight: Becca Haley Heals with Hot Dogs
As the never ending season of Married At First Sight Denver continues to implode Becca Haley has found a way to cope. After catching her husband in a lie about hobnobbing with a female producer, the pair called it quits in spite of saying yes on decision day. Becca is happy to be back in her own place. But admits she misses her husband and his snapback hats. She calls her mom to vent and her mom gives her a pep talk.
But Becca Haley still feels weepy and wonders why she wasn’t enough. Were her standards too high? She cries and wishes for Austin to find a spouse that is better for him than her. Her mom assures her she’s good enough and that her attitude is kind. Becca admits she’s found a way to deal with the pain, anger and denial. And it’s eating hot dogs and crying. Which certainly sounds more fun than dealing with Austin.

Married At First Sight: Michael Shiakallis Questions His Marriage
The last couple standing on Married At First Sight are now hanging on by a thread. Michael Shiakallis is clearly uncomfortable when it comes to thinking about living with Chloe Brown. He tosses multiple word salads at her and uses their pets as an excuse. The couple go check out a rental house and Chloe loves it. Michael suggests it’s a little too rustic and pricey. He asks how she will feel if it’s months before they can live together.
Later the MAFS cast all head out for some fun. The women choose cocktails and a drag show. The guys head to a metal working class to make bottle openers. Michael admits he’s having some doubts about the future. He gets home and find Chloe sound asleep with the pets in bed in her sensible floral pajamas. Michael wakes her up to tell her that he’s questioning the marriage as decision day looms. Chloe Brown gets emotional and wonders why she’s just hearing this now.
