On Married At First Sight, Orion Martzloff gets heated on the honeymoon but not in the way that probably comes to mind. Emily Balch can handle her liquor while Brennan Shoykhet tries not to puke. Becca Haley and Austin float each other’s boats. And Clare Kerr isn’t impressed with Cameron Frazer‘s fashion sense or much else for that matter. Let’s take some shots and dive right in to Season 17, Episode 5 Take Me Down To Paradise City.
Married at First Sight: Orion Martzloff Gets Hot in Mexico
Married At First Sight couple Orion Martzloff and Lauren G. started off totally solid. But after a few days of honeymooning some cracks are beginning to appear. At first, they are overly considerate of each other, and Orion constantly asks Lauren if she feels safe. She is appreciative of his concern for her feelings. But it begins to feel a little bit like both are walking on eggshells. Or rather telling each other what they want to hear.
The couple lounge in a pool and later in a hammock. They discuss finances and kids. “Lorion” agree on one child. But Orion Martzloff admits he’s more than open to adoption. And thinks Lauren G. would make a great mom.
The couple mostly agree on finances and other husband and wife roles such as cooking. Orion isn’t shy when Lauren asks about what’s going on “down there”. He says he keeps things low and soft thanks to a manscaping kit he received as a gift.

But later on Orion Martzloff takes offense on Married At First Sight. The couple discuss the challenges of growing up as minorities. Lauren asks if he’s ever used a certain racially insensitive word. Orion admits he may have as a young person but clearly out of ignorance.
But Orion Martzloff gets heated when Lauren misunderstands the seriousness of a term he finds offensive. Lauren seems taken aback by his reaction. So, will this be something that they can get past? Or is this the beginning of the end.
Married At First Sight: Emily Balch Can Hold Her Booze
MAFS couple Emily Balch and Brennan Shoykhet seem comfortable together. Neither seems to be trying too hard to convince themselves that this is “movie love”. She admits she has no work life balance.
He says he can help with that. Emily admits she makes bank. But isn’t great about accounting for where it all goes. Emily reveals she’s feeling the physical attraction. But it’s Brennan who wants to slow that roll so it doesn’t change their dynamic.
I think Emily is confusing the honeymoon with spring break ??? #MarriedAtFirstSight #MAFS #mafsdenver pic.twitter.com/NziClP8EUB

This Married At First Sight couple choose tequila tasting over some of the other outdoorsy water activities. They down shots and seem to have a really good time. Emily admits to being quite the partier in college, which isn’t surprising seeing how deftly she handles her mezcal. Brennan admits he liked to have fun but wouldn’t coin himself a big partier. Again not surprising as he admits he’s thrilled with the boozy date but also hoping he doesn’t puke.
MAFS Couples Feel Each Other Out on Honeymoon
Every season of Married At First Sight has “that couple”. The one that isn’t shy about PDA and telling everyone that the experts nailed it. That couple in season 17 is definitely Becca Haley and Austin.
They giggle and gaze into each other’s eyes and it really seems genuine. Who wouldn’t want to hang out with Becca? And who can deny Austin is a gentleman and a sweetheart? But will their attitudes about having kids eventually get in their way? Only time will tell.
Clare doesn’t like Cameron AT ALL. She talking mad trash on his outfits but hers are no better #MAFSDenver

On the other hand Clare Kerr and Cameron Frazer seem be oil and water. Clare seems irritated with just about everything Cameron does. From sleeping in to his choice of mismatched paddle board wear.
Kind of silly though since Clare wore what looked like a piece of her grandmother’s afghan for the water sport. Over dinner Clare discusses the importance of therapy. Cameron disagrees with some of her points. She’s not sure they can overcome their differences. Or does she even want to? Till next time!
