The couples who were featured in the Couples Couch broadcast were Anthony D'Amico and Ashley Petta, Elizabeth Bice and Jamie Thompson, Kristine Killingsworth and Keith Dewar, and Shawniece Jackson and Jephte Pierre.
The couples watched Brandon and wife Taylor Dunklin get into a heated argument at the couples' retreat after Taylor apparently spent the night with friends and claimed to have fallen asleep in their hotel room.
Brandon accused Taylor of hanging out with men and not being forthcoming or communicative about her plans, but Taylor insisted she only hung out with her pals because Brandon said he needed to work and she had nothing else to do.
When resolution didn't seem attainable, Taylor stormed out on Brandon, who then tried to remove his microphone and escape the cameras.
A Married at First Sight producer, Leif, broke the fourth wall and told Brandon the microphone was not his property to touch.
"What, are you going to put your hands on me?" Brandon asked Leif with a cocky smile. "What are you going to do?"
"Who are you?" Leif asked, clearly taken aback by Brandon's behavior. "What is your problem, man?"

Jamie observed of Taylor and Brandon, "They've both got issues," likely referring to how Taylor had previously posted an Instagram Stories video claiming to be single and looking for a guy who could actually meet her qualifications while still married to Brandon.
"You don't feel bad for Brandon when he acts like that," Jamie continued. "Like, I don't feel bad for you, dude."

Elizabeth noted watching the scene gave her "anxiety," and it wasn't the first time Brandon had an outburst on Married at First Sight. (On the last day of his honeymoon in Panama, Brandon swore at production for following him around and at Taylor for asking him to calm down).
Brandon and Leif's argument escalated when production refused to stop rolling the cameras after Brandon and Taylor's fight on the couples' retreat.
Leif accused Brandon of staring him down, and Brandon smugly smiled and called the producer "a d-ckhead" while insisting he could do and say whatever he pleased.
Brandon was actively looking to piss production off, but Leif maintained his composure and told Brandon that he was free to leave the room.
"You're a piece of sh-t, man," Brandon told Leif with a big smile. "You are, honestly."
Brandon also told a female producer or member of the camera crew she was also a big "piece of sh-t."

Elizabeth's jaw nearly dropped to the floor while watching the footage back, and Ashley and Anthony were so taken aback that they didn't even know what to say.

"Brandon is over it," Kristine acknowledged.
Shawniece observed Brandon continuing to fight with Leif and said, "[Brandon] is an assh-le!"
"I don't care how much you're upset," Shawniece continued. "You don't talk to people like that."
Brandon grew increasingly more confrontational with Leif, getting up in his face and patronizing the producer by seemingly pointing out how Leif is shorter than him.
"Why did he get down like that?" Kristine questioned as Brandon shrunk down in size when taunting Leif.
"He's sizing him up," Keith replied.
"Why did he get down on his level? Is Brandon coming at him for being short?" Kristine asked.
Leif eventually walked away from Brandon in attempt to end the confrontation, and Anthony expressed in shock, "What the f-ck is going on?!"
"Oh my God," Ashley added. "Seriously?! [Production] didn't even do anything to [Brandon] at that point."

Afterward, Brandon packed up his suitcase and Taylor attempted to convince Brandon to stay, all the while trying to comfort and calm him down.
"That must be embarrassing," Shawniece said on Taylor's behalf, as Brandon continued to rage and rant.

"You can't talk to people like that. I don't care how mad you are," Shawniece insisted.
And finally, Elizabeth just yelled of the beer salesman, "He's psycho!"
As Taylor begged Brandon to listen to her and be reasonable, Brandon kept shouting, "Don't touch me!"
Taylor closed Brandon into a bathroom and tried to talk to him in private, but he could be heard screaming, "Get off of me! Stop putting your hands on me! Get the f-ck off of me. Do not touch me."
Taylor insisted they should talk because she was committed to him and their marriage, but Brandon just wanted to leave the room. And after more arguing, he did just that.
Brandon took off from the retreat with his bag and never returned, as shown in Wednesday night's episode of Married at First Sight.
Married at First Sight also stars Katie Conrad and Derek Sherman, Meka Jones and Michael Watson, and Jessica Studer and Austin Hurd. Mindy Shiben prematurely ended her marriage to Zach Justice, so the former couple was not featured in the latest Season 10 episode.
