Married at First Sight alum AJ Vollmoeller feels he and Season 10 star Brandon Reid are kindred spirits and Brandon is his "spirit animal."

AJ and his wife Stephanie Sersen, who starred on Season 8 of Married at First Sight, offered colorful commentary while watching back parts of Brandon and Taylor Dunklin's honeymoon in Panama during Lifetime's February 5 broadcast of Married at First Sight: Couples Couch, which features former MAFS couples reacting to encore broadcasts of the show's tenth season.

A clip showed Brandon frustrated and annoyed after Taylor woke him up one morning with a camera in his face. Brandon later told his wife the incident gave him a panic attack and really freaked him out because he likes his privacy.
"He's not good with the cameras either," Stephanie pointed out.

"He's me," AJ noted.
"He seems a lot more toned down though," AJ said.
"Than me?" AJ asked.
"Yeah," Stephanie noted.
"Really?" AJ questioned, expressing surprise. "I'm pretty toned!"

AJ cracked himself up before another clip played of Taylor asking Derek Sherman to take a picture of her while they were boating in Panama.
Brandon told the cameras his wife had a large following on Instagram and he found it a little "bizarre."
"If it's already bothering him, it's going to bother him way more," Stephanie reasoned.
"I feel you bro," AJ said, speaking to the TV.
"Like, I feel him 100 percent with the frustrations with production and with this bothering him with [Taylor] always on the f-cking phone."

AJ then added of Brandon, "I feel like he's my spirit animal," which made Stephanie laugh.

Since Season 10 couple Meka Jones and Michael Watson missed out on the boating experience with the other four couples in Panama due to a fight they had, AJ compared them to Kate Sisk and Luke Cuccurullo from their own edition of Married at First Sight.
Kate and Luke had ongoing problems in their marriage because Luke wasn't attracted to his wife.
AJ then added Tristan Thompson and Mia Bally also missed out on fun activities when they wed on Married at First Sight. (As fans may recall, Mia was actually arrested in the airport before her honeymoon, and the couple ran into more issues later on).

"Well, no, maybe not," Stephanie said.
"You can trace back to every [season]. There's always that couple," AJ explained.
"Well, [Shawniece Jackson] and [Jephte Pierre] started out this way and now look at them!" Stephanie shared.
"I'm just saying there's always that couple that excludes themselves from everybody," AJ said.
Suddenly, Zach Justice went missing as all the couples, except for Meka and Michael, were swimming in the ocean during their honeymoon, and Brandon joked about how the "dapper" personal trainer was probably trying to look good on TV.
"It's all about looking good on TV, and then when you look like me on TV you get nothing but hate mail! [Brandon] knows what's up!" AJ said, making his wife laugh.

Brandon said he got Married at First Sight to find his partner for life and his best friend with whom he could have that "white picket fence" future with children running around.
"'White picket fence' -- who wants that?" Stephanie joked.
"I do," AJ sheepishly admitted with a laugh.
"No, we want like a marble gate that says 'Keep Out,'" Stephanie said with a laugh.

"Yeah!" AJ agreed.
Later during the honeymoon footage, Brandon told the other grooms it felt like he and Taylor had already been together for years because they were both so comfortable.
Meanwhile, Taylor told the girls how Brandon had decorated their hotel bathroom with rose petals, candles and a bucket of cold champagne while he waited in the bath tub for her.
"Nice approach. I think he's my favorite because I relate to him the most," AJ shared.
Taylor and Brandon went on to build a romantic connection in Panama, and Taylor called her husband "so sweet" and "nice." In turn, Brandon told his wife she's mind-bogglingly beautiful.
"I like him, I was wrong on my initial judgement," AJ admitted.
Brandon and Taylor continued to bond during their honeymoon in Panama and appeared to have a blast together after their one fight about Taylor filming Brandon in the morning, however, the trip ended in flames.

At the end of the honeymoon, Brandon made it known he was totally fed up with having cameras follow him around.
During the latest episode of Married at First Sight's tenth season, Brandon told a crew member, "You're trying to play me," before putting his hand over a camera lens.
Taylor called her husband "abrasive" and "rude" to the show's production team, and she didn't like what she was seeing.
Taylor recalled telling Brandon, "The difficult person that you're being on camera is not somebody I really want to be married to. I like being married to the sweet, kind Brandon."

Taylor's words apparently set Brandon off, and all he paid attention to was the "I don't want to be married" part of her statement.
"He takes that and runs with it," Taylor explained. "He responds like, 'Oh, you don't want to be married to me!' He takes off his ring, he throws it and says, 'We don't have to be in this marriage,' and he leaves."
Taylor therefore packed all of their bags and mentioned how Brandon had left his wedding ring and passport behind in the room.
"Brandon was having a full-blown meltdown," Taylor told the cameras.
Brandon was then shown yelling and swearing in the van outside of the hotel that also held the four other Married at First Sight couples.
"I ain't got time for this sh-t," Brandon said, before Taylor could be heard saying, "I tried."

Brandon then told his wife, "No, you didn't try to do sh-t... You know what, f-ck you, Taylor. F-ck you!"
"Calm down," Taylor requested.
"I'm gonna calm down when I'm in Washington," Brandon replied. "F-ck y'all."
Married at First Sight's tenth season, which currently airs on Wednesday nights on Lifetime, also stars Katie Conrad, Mindy Shiben, Jessica Studer, and Austin Hurd.
