WhileMarried At First Sightseason 18 star Allen Slovick has seemed like quite a catch—making him a fan-favorite throughout the season—there have been glaring signs lately indicating that he’s more of a producer plant than someone truly ready to stay married to Madison Myers. From the beginning, Allen appeared fully committed to the experiment. Despite his rough start with Madison, he consistently displayed many green flags. However, Madison’s initial interest in him faded after their wedding, especially after he showed up in broccoli print undies paired with a loose white tank.
From then on, Madison became fixated on Allen’s style, often criticizing his outfits. ThroughoutMAFS, Madison has been honest about her feelings towards their marriage, while Allen has leaned too hard into the “nice guy” persona. With the recent revelation that Allen used to model,there’s growing speculation that he could have joinedMAFSas a producer plant. If that’s the case, he was never the right choice for Madison. She probably picked up on the red flags that Allen worked so hard to hide, possibly explaining why she might be involved in thecouples swap that will happen later onMAFS.
Allen Just Isn’t Madison’s Type
Allen Isn’t Her Type Physically
Madison has been open about her feelings toward Allen’s looks. She wasn’t impressed by his unusual dress style, nor did she like his quirky personality. The twoMAFSstars have nothing in common. WhileMadison is a fitness enthusiastoften in the gym, Allen admitted that he wasn’t committed to working out, which was a turn-off for Madison. The duo had an awkward conversationwhere Madison confessed her lack of attraction towards him.
In the same conversation, Madison suggested that it would be best for him to change a few things about himself if he wanted their relationship to work, which was a massive red flag. The concept of physical attraction has been a huge part of their marriage. In a recent episode, Madison and Allen met with Dr. Pepper Schwartz. Allen asked ifshe found anything attractive about him, a question Madison thought was odd (viamafslifetime).
“I don’t know that’s like a weird question to ask.”
Based on the fact that Madison was only attracted to “metrosexual men,“it was highly unlikely that she’d develop feelings for Allen. Of course, Allen is a good-looking guy with an incredible sense of humor, just the kind of person Madison had hoped to meet onMarried At First Sightstint, but there would never be a real spark between them. Either theMAFSseason 18 experts didn’t put much thoughtinto the matching process, or they deliberately set Madison up for failure.
Physical attraction is a huge aspect of any relationship. Although there have been situations where two strangershave fallen in love and overcome their physical appearance, that doesn’t work for everyone. Therefore, theMAFSexperts should have deeply explored compatibility before paringMAFSseason 18 couples. If they had, Madison might have been matched with someone more her type—likegym lover David Trimble.
Allen’s Modeling Background Makes Him Seem Like A Producer Plant
He’s Playing For The Cameras
Before joiningMAFS, Allen had modeled for a local morning show, as revealed by the@MAFSFanaccount. Under the post, fans quickly called out theMAFSproducers, arguing they were “recruiting” cast members.Allen responded to the comment, stating that he “was just helping out a friend. Wasn’t recruited.” While he vehemently denied being a model,perhaps the producers thought he’d be a good catch for the show. With reality TV, one’s past is bound to catch up with them.

Reality TV is more popular than ever. With so many to choose from, here are some of the best reality TV shows to stream or watch right now.
Viewers saw that withLove Is Blindstar Tyler Francis, whose baby mama drama and paternity test issues got explosive after the show aired. So,MAFSproducers knew how big of a story Allen’s modeling past would have and how much it would change his persona on the series. Although Allen seemed truthful about his past, that revelation made him look likehe had pre-existing ties in the entertainment industry.
Therefore,he may have been recruitedrather than a genuine applicant. Given how he’d come across TV, it is possible that he was a strategic casting choice, primarily because of his natural charm. As expected, Allen became one of the most popularMAFSseason 18 cast members, with many viewers drawn to his sweet and gentle personality.
Allen’s Personality Isn’t Strong Enough
Madison’s A Bold Woman
Madison has a strong personality,which can come across as being mean. She speaks what’s on her mind. That’s why thisMAFSparticipant didn’t shy away from letting Allen know he wasn’t her type. Her tone can be pretty harsh, especially when commenting on his dressing choices or the fact that he doesn’t go to the gym, but she always gets her point across. In contrast, Allen is easygoing, but he’s no pushover and has ensured Madison hasn’t walked all over him.
During one of their sit-downs with Dr. Pepper, Madison struggled to name one thing she liked about Allen. While Madison’s words took Allen aback, theMAFSstar clarified that he wouldn’t force a connection.
He is either kind-hearted or just exceptionally good at playing a likable character.
Either way, being matched with Madison was one of the worst mistakes ever. TheMAFSexperts should have done a better vetting and matching job so that each participant got the right experience—unless they intentionally mismatched these couples to stir up the drama.
Will Allen & Madison Stay Together?
Probably Not
Since Allen and Madison were a mismatch,there is a high chance they won’t stay together. For a long time,MAFShas teased about a cheating scandal in whichMadison and David seem right at the center. Madison and David’s situations are pretty similar.After being matched with Michelle Trimble, David quickly realized she wasn’t interested in him.
Their connection felt strained from the start, and the fact that he still lived with his parents was an immediate turn-off for Michelle. Physically, David is Madison’s exact type. With both being linked to the couple’s swapping and cheating scandal, it is almost inevitable that Madison and Allen will split. That’s perhaps the best decision, as it will save thisMAFSpair from a lifetime of frustration.
If there’s one song to sum up Allen and Madison’s dynamics, it would be Usher’s “U Got It Bad.” In the song, Usher sings of the struggles of unrequited love that Allen has been experiencing throughoutMarried At First Sightseason 18. Their relationship stands out asone of the biggest mismatches inMarried At First Sighthistory, leaving many questioning whether it was all for drama or just a genuine error by the experts.
