Married at First Sight UK Season 10 Episode 17 featured a Commitment Ceremony. All the couples attended the ceremony and discussed their relationship with the experts.

One of the couples featured on the show was Dean and Sarah. The two opened up about their expectations, feelings for each other, and more. Despite the two writing "stay" on their separate cards, the two later revealed that they didn't want to continue their journey on the show.

Witnessing the two making the same decision, to leave, sparked a debate among the show's fans. While some of the Married at First Sight UK fans applauded their decision, some called out Sarah for hurting Dean.

"I'M SO HAPPY SARAH AND DEAN ARE NO MORE!! That was torture! #MAFSUK," wrote a fan.
"Update: Sarah and Dean both made the wise choice to call it a day on the experiment. #mafsuk," another person mentioned.
"Just watched Sarah and Dean finally leave #MAFSUK thank goodness for that," a netizen reacted.
"Sarah crying because she can't be mean to Dean anymore is cracking me up. #MAFSUK," one more person wrote on the platform.
"Sarah should have left the moment she decided Dean wasn't for her (so basically at their "wedding"). She stayed on the show and threw the happy idiot a few crumbs of false hope just to get a free holiday and some free clothes. #mafsuk," another user noted.
"Brunson/The Experts don't match the couples. Sarah took an instant dislike to Dean but stuck around for her proverbial 15 minutes. She was free to leave at any point (preferably week 1) yet kept writing "stay" and throwing Dean crumbs of false hope. #mafsuk," a netizen mentioned.
"Wow that was emotional #mafs I hope Dean finds his person, sadly I don't think Dean and Sarah wherever going to work, you could tell from day one. I worry that the producers have too much of a say into the couples. #MarriedAtFirstSightuk #MAFSUK2025," an X user wrote.
"Oh Dean please snap out the delusion #MarriedAtFirstSightUK #MAFSUK #MAFSUK2025," commented a fan.
