'Married at First Sight': Was it bad sex or bad date? Fans speculate why Bennett and Amelia don't like each other

One can tell from their expressions at the altar that they know and don't seem to like each other very much

Bennet and Amelia are one of the couples who have been rooting for. When they were first introduced on 'Married at First Sight' last week, the viewers couldn't stop gushing how awkward and cute the two are. But now it seems they are not so much a good news people were thinking them to be. This must have been quite the dampener for those cheering for this supposedly made-for-each-other couple. 

The viewers are especially surprised because Bennett and Amelia seemed like two people meant to be together and would see through the entire process, much like Jessica Studer and Austin Hurd from Season 10. Ideally, their marriage shouldn't be defined by their bitter past and that can be achieved easily if they can have an open communication about it. Otherwise, this could hurt, never heal, and eventually, impact their relationship. 

"So out of pure speculation and assumption, I think Amelia ghosted Bennett in the past. She seemed embarrassed and he seemed mad. I loved his smile though. Can't wait for next week," a fan pointed out while another wrote: "Just had a thought is Amelia the last girl Bennett hooked up with? I need to hear the back story on this. #MarriedAtFirstSight #MAFS."

"If Bennett & Amelia tell me they had a one night stand or that she dated one of his friends...#MarriedAtFirstSight," another user wrote. "Bennett and Amelia definitely slept together #MAFS #MarriedAtFirstSight #MarriedAtFirstSightNOLA," a fan shared.

"Bennett didn't look too pleased, so I'm thinking their last encounter wasn't a good one  #marriedatfirstsight," a viewer tweeted, while another expressed: " Bennett and Amelia probably did the deed. Woof woof."

One can tell from their expressions at the altar that they know and don't seem to like each other very much. Will that be a deal-breaker in their marriage? Time will tell. For now, let's hope that they can put all their differences aside and are able to make a decision about taking the leap.
