'Married At First Sight' couple Zach and Mindy came across as a good-looking, well-adjusted couple who hit it off from the word go. But things seem to have taken a turn for the worse. 

While remaining couples struggled at the beginning (not Katie and Derek of course), they were gushing over each other. Zach even went down on one knee to ask her hand in marriage. That moment was cheered on by friends and family and was followed by a heart-to-heart between the two, during which Mindy communicated why marrying Zach was important to her.

She had grown tired of dating men bailing on her as she had been looking to settle. Throughout the wedding and reception, Zach was being a patient and dutiful husband and making every effort to know more about Mindy and her life. However, that did not last long. 

As they got off their plane to Panama and walked to the hotel, Mindy shared a few things with Zach that she felt were off about them. Even in her confessional, she admitted to being bothered by the way Zach was treating her just as a friend. She had hoped there would be some semblance of romance or display of chivalry on his part where he would hold her hand or carry her suitcase. When she questioned him, Zach said she shouldn't compare them with other couples, adding that he was looking forward to spending the week with her. 

But strangely, the episode ended with Mindy wandering the halls of the hotel, recording a video, revealing that Zach told her he was not attracted to her. Mindy left the room saying that it wouldn't work for them.

Are Zach and Mindy already breaking? 

Interestingly, the honeymoon segment preceded the family interactions, during which Mindy's friends grilled Zach about his intentions with one of them even asking if the marriage and the fact that it was being filmed was a major reason why he agreed to marry Mindy?

The show would give him an exposure because he's into fitness and has modeled for a bit. Fans too are in agreement and are speculating that the marriage might just be a way for him trying to get ahead in his career. 

"I don't trust Zach. He's in this for self-promotion. Mindy's going to get hurt. #MAFS #MarriedAtFirstSight@MAFSLifetime," a fan wrote.

While another posted: "I hope Zach isn't doing this for his career. If he is, and he acts an ass on the show and hurts Mindy, it certainly wouldn't be good for business so, if he is on the show for PR, he better act right! #MarriedAtFirstSight #MAFS."

"Zach is most definitely on this show for his career. You better believe if I was on the show, every episode I'd have a shirt promoting myself. P.S... Soie by C.Dior Hair is open & accepting new clients. Hmu if you're in Philly #MarriedAtFirstSight," another viewer posted. 

Let's hope Zach is in it for good and Mindy does not end up getting hurt.
