It’s no surprise that Malou and Sarath didn’t make it to Married At First Sight’s experiment. In the beginning, the match immediately has cracks and flaws. They certainly had some nice moments, but the zsa zsa zsu – as Malou puts it – never passes. Yet they both still go to the couples dinner for a “positive ending”, but unfortunately it turns into more of an “explosive ending”. Ouch…
Malou and Sarath in Married At First Sight
The match between Malou and Sarath in Married At First Sight was doomed to failure from the start. At the time, many viewers on social media were immediately critical of the couple. They quickly got the feeling that Malou would never experience attraction. And guess what? Just before the couples dinner, Malou is still not attracted to Sarath. This is slightly disappointing for Sarath, who has been in love with Malou for a long time. “It turned out very differently than I thought,” he reflects just before the couples dinner with presenter Carlo Boszhard. He calls the moments with her “genuinely” fun. Something we also saw during the honeymoon, for example, when they went to visit Santa Claus. The inner child came out completely in Malou and Sarath through Santa Claus. However, this turns out not to be enough for a successful match, because the door has now been closed. Well, with Malou the door is completely closed. Not yet complete with Sarath. He says his door is only closed, but not completely locked. “It can be opened from my side,” he says.
Too much pressure
Yet Malou and Sarath have no contact for a week after the honeymoon. Even though they really threw themselves into the honeymoon. It all looked nice on screen, but apparently there was still a glimmer of shine. Sarath thinks it’s a shame that he hasn’t heard from Malou anymore. “My heart really hurts,” he admits. “It doesn’t have to be that way.”
However, Malou had her reasons for this. According to her, Sarath threw out all his emotions and personal stories too quickly. “Abandonment anxiety and ‘I don’t know what to do without you in my life’,” Malou mentions as examples. “That makes me think: dude! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, we’ve only known each other for two days. What kind of intense statements are those?” Sarath is said to have put a lot of pressure on their relationship too quickly. That scared Malou quite a bit, and there was not even a question of attraction and the so-called zsa zsa zsu.
Distance during couples dinner
Malou is clearly fed up with Sarath. During the moment of reflection with Carlo, she also says coldly: “He threw me under the bus.” According to Malou, Sarath raged against her one morning. He would have angrily told her that she was depriving him of the experiment. In the conversation with Carlo, Sarath indeed says: “I said things that I later regretted.” He said in an angry mood that the makers had better bring in another woman. But he now regrets that. “That is not nice, that is not good. I am now aware of that,” said Sarath. Despite this, Malou doesn’t want to know anything about him anymore. She also can’t think of any more positive things to say about her time with Sarath. They both come to the couples dinner. In Malou’s case, this may be due to her mother Sisca, who immediately says that it is a good idea. “To end it,” she says. Unfortunately for Sarath, Malou immediately has a cold message for him. Although she initially says she wants to “end on a positive note”, she turns out to be carrying a gigantic shield. She doesn’t want to sit across from him either. “That’s really a thing of the past,” she says. Ouch…
“No respect”
This makes the couples dinner extremely awkward for Malou and Sarath. Malou also seems to have no “positive ending” at all. When you’re so far apart, you can’t exactly have a good conversation. The Married At First Sight experts, who watch from a booth with cameras, are also shocked by the behavior. “Very intense to see,” says relationship coach Anne Campagne. The viewers on social media channel X are also not happy with Malou’s behavior. “This is cold of Malou,” someone responds, for example, while another says: “It seems more like an explosive conclusion so far.” Yet another Married At First Sight viewer mentions that Malou has no respect for Sarath. In addition, someone also responded: “So Malou comes to the couples dinner especially to make shitty comments about Sarath on the other side of the room?”
The comparison with Anneke, fellow candidate from Married At First Sight, is also quickly made. She previously received a lot of criticism due to her behavior within the marriage with Dirk. No wonder that Malou and Sarath later give each other a failing grade. For example, Malou gets a 5 from Sarath, which according to him is “not as negative as it seems”. Something that may be correct, because Malou just gives it a big 4. “Yes, I can start with a 1, a 2 or a 3, but that’s not fair,” she says. She understands the match, but also knows immediately that it is not a good match. “It went from left to right, from left to right. That also hit me mentally,” she explains. Hopefully they both feel better soon.
Respectfully, according to Malou, is to sit as far away from each other as possible and above all not to look at him.
Then stay away.#crazy #mafsnl pic.twitter.com/iQ1ZNBPRaZ

Malou to Sarath: “I want to end POSITIVE, but it is clear that this is not going to work.”
My goodness….. He just kicks the legs out from under his chair.
And don’t sit together. Then she really doesn’t have an ounce of respect in her thunder.#mafsnl #crazy

Sarath would like to thank Malou for the fun days they had together. Malou hears it and thinks: probably… She also doesn’t want to sit next to Sarath at the couples dinner. Then why are you coming? To sit at the table with anger and a grumpy face? 🤷♀️#crazy #mafsnl pic.twitter.com/hYCpjLXlEs

The only reason why Malou is there at the dinner: to beat Sarath even deeper into the ground.#crazy #mafsnl pic.twitter.com/x2tTVMS6i4

Malou would like to end the entire experiment on a positive note at the couples dinner.
It’s looking more like an explosive ending so far. #crazy #mafsnl pic.twitter.com/46A8VfWTHr— !n§r!d (@inkyopdrift) March 5, 2024

So Malou comes to the couples dinner especially to make shitty comments about Sarath from all the way across the room? What a woman! #MAFS #MAFSnl pic.twitter.com/4bryodm0Fs

I think Anneke and Malou would make a great couple. Enjoy their fantastic selves together in their narcissistic bubble. #MAFS pic.twitter.com/4FIyvC0z69
