This year’s season of “Married at First Sight” is coming to an end, and this week it became clear that Maja Anna Berdychowska (35) and Sverre Daniel Gaupås (32) were the only participants who chose to continue the journey together as lovers.
– Things got difficult pretty quickly
The remaining couples, on the other hand, chose to go their separate ways, which probably did not come as a surprise to the viewers who have followed the series closely.
It goes without saying that this year’s season has offered many entertaining moments, but also heated arguments.
Not my type of person
Cecilie Varela (25) and Ørjan Hansen (34) have both been clear that they have broken contact after the participation, and have no immediate plans to resume it either.
– Today we have no relationship, and there will never be a relationship either. Cecilie is not my type of person and I’m certainly not hers, so it’s okay that we don’t have contact today, I think, Hansen said recently to Rød Løper.
– I am single
Luck also broke for Jonathan Sørfonden (36) and Mila Timofeeva (26), although they were determined to give it a try after the recording was finished.
– We agreed to give it a try, but when I got home I realized pretty quickly that it wasn’t the right match for me. I sent Mila a message after three or four days, and told her that I wanted to continue as friends, Sørfonden told Se og Hør.
In the last episode, it emerges that one of the reasons why they were matched with each other was that they were both determined. As they both have children from previous relationships, the matchmakers hoped that they could be united in the same family values.
– Just didn’t work
It would still prove not to be enough.
Nor has the participation been a success story for Kaja Elvebråthen (31) and Joakim Johansen-Asprusten (40), who also chose to go their separate ways, even though the atmosphere between them should be of the friendly kind.
Understand that it creates reactions
After TVNorge shared a small video clip on Facebook from one of the season’s many couple dinners, several shocked viewers have taken to the comments section to express their opinions.
Many react to the way the participants even talk to each other.
Call out criminal past
The video in question has at the time of writing over 1,500 comments, and one of this year’s experts, sexologist & couples therapist Susanne Eidem, tells Se og Hør that she understands that some of what has been shown on TV has caused reactions.
– There are some of the participants who, unfortunately, ended up triggering each other to a point that became strong food for many TV viewers – and a strong reaction to that was expected from my side. I cannot defend everything that has been said on the screen and written in the comments section, she says.

sea view
– Some of the wording could have been more considered, but the truth is that such arguments happen in some relationships and we have to admit that. We’re just not that used to seeing others argue, or seeing how mean we ourselves can be to our partner in weak moments. Many would also recognize themselves more in passive aggressive arguments which can be just as harmful, continues Eidem.
She also emphasizes that she was not involved in the matchmaking process, and therefore cannot comment on what considerations were taken in connection with the participants’ preference wishes.
Eidem also points out that the couples in this season are very different with different challenges, and believes that most people can recognize themselves in at least one of the married couples – for better or for worse.
– A big shock
– It naturally stirs up emotions, which is reflected in the comment fields on social media. But people should become better at evaluating themselves, rather than pointing fingers. Some argue often and others rarely. Not everything should be taught, but rather learned from.
Se og Hør has been in contact with the experts Benjamin Baarli Silseth and Bianca Simonsen, but they have so far not answered our inquiries. It is therefore pointed out that Eidem only speaks on behalf of his role as sexologist and couples therapist during this year’s season.
Vulnerable situation
Eidem also says that one should not forget that the participants in the reality program are placed in an unnatural setting, and she therefore has great understanding that some of them were somewhat reserved when meeting each other and the experts.
– It is very natural when they are in a vulnerable situation with someone they have recently met on camera. Maybe some of them were a little afraid of being “exposed”, but that was far from my goal.
