With just a few weeks left in the experiment, things aren’t looking too good for many of the remaining Married At First Sight couples. Jamie Marinos and Dave Thomas Hand have had their first major fight, Carina Mirabile has admitted she no longer trusts Paul Antoine, and Jacqui Burfoot and Ryan Donnelly are as tumultuous as ever.
Final Vows are fast approaching and the chances of all seven remaining couples making it to the end of the experiment are extremely slim. In fact, photos obtained by Yahoo Lifestyle reveal which pair is set to quit the reality show in the coming week.
The snaps feature Eliot Donovan walking away from the show’s apartment building with his luggage in tow and a big smile on his face.
A production insider tells us: “Eliot was done with Veronica after feedback week and just wanted to be gone. He packed his bags but producers then convinced him to stay a few more days to see his storyline out so it makes sense to viewers.”
While he and Veronica Cloherty had a strong start to the experiment and immediately hit it off on their honeymoon, they’ve clashed over their differing communication styles in recent weeks.
Things went from bad to worse when Veronica spent a few days living with Dave Thomas Hand for the partner swap task and realised Eliot wasn’t someone she wanted to be with.

Which couples make it to the end of the experiment?
Yahoo Lifestyle revealed last year that the show’s bosses are on track to deliver what could be one of the social experiment’s happiest endings to date as there was a “record-breaking” number of pairs still together at the Final Vows.
“Everyone thought this season was a lost cause but a surprising amount of couples have really pulled through and made it to the end of the experiment,” an insider told us.
It’s understood that once Eliot and Veronica exit the experiment, Beth Kelly and Teejay Halkias also leave shortly after. This means that none of this year’s intruder couples found love on the show, as Lauren Hall and Clint Rice quit at the last commitment ceremony.
Yahoo Lifestyle can reveal that Jamie and Dave, Carina and Paul, Jacqui and Ryan, Awhina Rutene and Adrian Araouzou, and Rhi Disljenkovic and Jeff Gobbels all make it to Final Vows.
However, not everyone says yes to staying together! Our insider reveals that just two couples decided to continue their relationship in the real world, and only one is still together today.
